Heavenly Official Sends Evil

Chapter 887 Human Spider
Upon hearing the cries for help, Liu Nana paused for two seconds before looking at Wu Xian: "That's Xiao Sijia's voice. She's behind this door!"

"Don't open the door yet!"

Wu Xian frowned; his first thought was that something was amiss.

He knew better than anyone how dangerous this blessed land was; he had brought three newcomers, and two of them had already died on the way.

How did Xiao Sijia manage to survive until now, even making similar progress to him, and even finding this transit space?

But if you think about it more carefully, it might not be impossible.

Xiao Sijia's ability is to play dead, which is theoretically the most survivable ability among all the abilities available to worship gods. As long as she doesn't do anything reckless, she can easily get away with it.

Wu Xian tentatively asked, "This door is just closed, not locked. Why don't you open it yourself?"

Xiao Sijia replied anxiously, "My leg is injured, and I can't lift my arm. I can't open the door by myself at all. Don't delay any longer, hurry up, that thing is about to crawl to my side!"

Wu Xian pressed his ear against the door and could indeed hear something crawling.

Normally, a few questions would be enough to determine the truth, but right now Xiao Sijia's life is threatened, and by the time the questioning is over, she will probably have been devoured by evil spirits.

So Wu Xian hurriedly opened the door, but stopped abruptly after opening it only a crack.

"Damn it, this key card is dead!"

"How could this happen? Hurry up!"

Xiao Sijia squeezed through in terror, her face only about 60 centimeters off the ground, her upper body pressed against the door, trembling. It was clear she was terrified.

Behind her, Hu Zhongjian was crawling slowly.

The situation outside the crack in the door was exactly as Xiao Sijia had described. Liu Nana hurriedly approached, wanting to help Wu Xian open the door and rescue Xiao Sijia.

But Wu Xian pushed her away, and with that push she understood what was going on.

As Wu Xian leaned against the door, he pointed to the top of the crack in the door. Liu Nana understood and took out and turned on the flashlight she had gotten from the first floor. The beam of light shone through the crack in the door.

On the opposite ceiling, there was a giant spider-like thing lying there!

This giant spider looks like the upper bodies of four people stuck together. The first one is larger, like a giant cleaning lady, while the other three are smaller, gripping the ceiling tightly with their palms.

When illuminated by the light, the four heads hanging down all raised up and stared at the crack in the door, letting out sharp cries!

Bang!
Wu Xian slammed the door shut and locked it from the inside.

Without the light shining through the crack in the door, it became dark outside again. Xiao Sijia and Hu Zhongjian paused for a moment, then climbed up to the ceiling and stuck to the back of the four people above. The six half-people, as a group, crawled away like centipedes.

……

After the door closed, Liu Nana couldn't calm down for a long time. She calmed her racing heart and asked Wu Xian, "I know you were pretending that the door wouldn't open, but how did you know there was something hidden up there?"

“Xiao Sijia’s upper body was squeezed into the door crack, but her face was only about 60 centimeters off the ground. It’s impossible for a healthy person to do this unless she has no lower body like Hu Zhongjian who crawled up from behind.”

"Another interesting point is that Hu Zhongjian's crawling speed has obviously slowed down, so we can conclude that Xiao Sijia and Hu Zhongjian are both controlled by the same thing, which is trying to trick us into opening the door."

Liu Nana scratched her head: "But what does this have to do with something being hidden up there?"

Wu Xian spread his hands and said, "Actually, I didn't know there was anything hidden up there. I just wanted to shine the flashlight beam on the ceiling and use the diffused light to make it brighter outside so I could see things more clearly..."

“Oh…” Wu Xian smiled. “But this little incident gave me an idea. I know how to get you into the cage.”

……

crunch, crunch...

The roller shutter door opened again, but this time it wasn't the one for the right-hand staircase, but the one for the left-hand escalator.

Wu Xian, holding some miscellaneous items, sat under the door, shouting loudly at the hanging corpse downstairs, and occasionally throwing down miscellaneous items to attract the hanging corpse's attention.

Thanks to Wu Xian's efforts, all the suspended corpses walked towards the left-hand roller shutter door, and even those suspended corpses that had gathered on the right-hand staircase came down.

After confirming that there were no hanging corpses on the right-hand staircase, Wu Xian shouted, and the roller shutter door on the right slowly rose.

The sound attracted several hanging corpses. Upon seeing this, Wu Xian immediately cut open his own arm. The smell of blood drove the hanging corpses mad, and they all rushed towards the escalator on the left.

Wu Xian is using himself as bait to buy Liu Nana time to enter the prison!

But isn't Wu Xian afraid that by doing this, a large number of hanging corpses will rush in, leaving him nowhere to hide or escape?
He's not afraid!
Before opening the left-hand staircase roller shutter door, Wu Xian had already started the escalator and reversed its direction.

In this way, the escalator will always be going downwards.

The evil spirits that hang on an empty stomach move very slowly, only suddenly accelerating when they get close to people. As a result, a large group of hanging corpses quickly crowded at the escalator entrance.

Some of the faster-moving suspended corpses climbed the escalator and were then brought down by it. Losing their balance, they bumped into several other suspended corpses, causing chaos at the scene, as if a stampede had occurred.

"It's now!"

Wu Xian shouted.

Holding a chain in one hand and a key in the other, Liu Nana rushed down the stairs on the right.

After she appeared, some of the suspended corpses ignored Wu Xian and walked quickly toward her, but Liu Nana was still one step ahead of them.

She opened the cage door, quickly wrapped the chains around it, then locked the antique padlock, before shrinking into a corner of the cage.

Soon, dozens of hanging corpses surrounded the cage, constantly pounding on it, causing the wooden antique to creak and shake.

But in the end, the cage was not damaged.

Liu Nana let out a long breath, then buried her head in her knees.

Her feelings at that moment were somewhat complicated.

Upon hearing Xiao Sijia's voice and learning that there were other survivors, Liu Nana's first reaction was not joy, but rather a jolt followed by unease. However, upon learning that Xiao Sijia was dead, a sense of joy actually rose in her heart.

Because if there were two survivors, Wu Xian might not have given up that safe spot to her...

……

Seeing that the hanging corpses couldn't break through the cage, Wu Xian closed the roller shutter door on the right side of the staircase, but left the roller shutter door on the left side of the escalator open. Since the hanging corpses couldn't climb up the escalator anyway, there was no need to close the door; they might come in handy later.

Now that the only newcomer is safe, Wu Xian is free of burdens and can finally do some slightly risky things.

He wants to... be put in the water dungeon!
