The years of reselling the haunted house

Chapter 272 The Strange Door
Although I can't see those ghosts anymore, I can still hear their footsteps.

The pointer on the compass held by the third uncle should be pointing to those ghosts.So as long as we follow the pointer, we should be able to keep track of those ghosts.

The third uncle obviously knew this too.He waved to me and Ma Di, let us follow him closely, and he continued to move forward in the direction indicated by the pointer.

I don't know where those ghosts will go, but the third uncle's attitude is very firm.

We followed the ghosts aimlessly for half an hour.Here, we have no direction, no destination, and due to the high mental tension, the passage of time hardly leaves any traces in our minds.So there is no concept of time here either.This half hour is also estimated by me.

The third uncle seemed to be very confident in the compass's instructions, and kept walking forward.

Suddenly, the pointer on the compass began to shake violently.There is no longer a clear indication of a direction.

The third uncle stopped suddenly, and I also understood that this was the reaction of the compass losing its magnetic field.This shows that the ghosts in front have disappeared.

I held the candle and moved forward for a certain distance. After passing through the fog, a door appeared in front of me.

I hurriedly waved to my third uncle, who came over to take a look, pointed to the door, and nodded.

It seems that the inside of this door should be the place we are looking for.

The third uncle put away the compass, and stepped forward to try to open the door.But we soon discovered that the door had no handle, and the entire door was bare.

I stepped forward and pushed it, and the door was firmly closed.

My third uncle and I looked at each other. Those ghosts were spirit bodies. Although they had cultivated half-yin bodies, they could still pass through the door.We are different. If the door does not open, we cannot get in at all.

I suddenly remembered that I had seen a door in the room with trees, and that door was very strong, if one didn't know the magic door inside, it would be impossible to open it.The door in front of me is probably that one.

And there is no handle on this door, and there is no keyhole, so I really don't know how to open it.

At this moment, Ma Su suddenly put his head up, looked at it, pointed to himself, and pointed to the door.

What Ma Su meant was that he could open the door.

This was beyond our expectation. The reason why we brought Ma Di here was to let him have a look at the strange tree, hoping to find some clues from it.

Unexpectedly, he still had research on this anti-theft door.

My third uncle and I looked at Ma Di suspiciously. Ma Di was full of confidence, rolled up his sleeves, and stepped forward with his chest out.

Ma Di asked me to go over and hold a candle to illuminate him, and he stretched out his hand to touch the door panel.He touched very carefully, not missing any part of the door.

I touched it twice, and I was going to touch it a third time.

The third uncle was obviously a little anxious. If he touched it like this, would he be able to open the door?He must be doubting, isn't Lao Ma joking?
I hurriedly nodded to my third uncle. I know Lao Ma, and he won't do things that he is not sure about.Although I don't know why Ma Su thinks he can open this door, but I believe him.

Ma Di touched the door for the third time, then began to measure with his fingers, and finally stopped at the upper right corner of the door.

He motioned for me to come over and put his finger on the spot.

I pressed the door panel as he said.As a result, when I pressed it, I could feel that there was a slight bulge under that position.

It cannot be seen on the surface, but can only be felt by touching it with hands.

With this discovery, I was overjoyed.Ma Di seems to know the method of this door completely.

Ma Di was in another place, and pressed his finger on it.

Immediately afterwards, Ma Di gestured at me with his fingers, one, two, three...

On the third click, we pressed down together hard.

When we finished pressing, we heard the door rattle.The sound of the reed beating came from the door again, and the solid door was slowly opened.

Ma Di breathed a sigh of relief and stepped aside.

My third uncle and I both looked at Ma Di with admiration. The things that this guy knows are like an endless treasure that can never be exhausted.

I really want to ask him how he opened this door, but I don't dare to say more here.

When the door opened, Uncle San beckoned, and we walked through the door into the room.

There is a familiar smell here, the smell of tree oil.I'm sure we're in that room again.

After we entered, the door magically closed again.

It's just that this time is different from the last time. Last time there was the light of the Five Emperors Ceremony Buddha Lamp, and we could clearly see everything inside.

But this time it was pitch black inside, and only the huge shadow of the ancient tree could be seen.There was also a dead silence all around, with gusts of wind blowing.

The third uncle breathed a sigh of relief, and asked Ma Su in a low voice, "Old Matou, how did you open this door?"

Ma Di was taken aback: "Can you talk?"

The third uncle nodded: "This room is an isolated space from the outside world. Here, it doesn't matter if you talk or not."

Ma Su said: "It's strange, I'm familiar with that door, it's a special security door."

"A special safety door?" Third Uncle then asked, "Why is it special? How do you know?"

"Laboratory. The safety door of our school's laboratory is the same as the door here."

I questioned: "Lao Ma, I have been to your office, isn't it your laboratory? There is nothing special about that door."

Ma Di smiled wryly and shook his head: "What kind of laboratory is that? It can only be regarded as a small workshop of mine. The laboratory I am talking about is the school's secret place, and there are often some secret experiments that cannot be treated by outsiders. Those who entered the laboratory were several of our veterans and high-level officials of the school. The anti-theft door of the laboratory is of this type. But I didn’t expect that even the way to open the door is the same.”

"How could this be? Could it be a coincidence?"

Ma Di shook his head: "Don't ask me. I don't know, but the coincidence may not be very big. This kind of anti-theft door is not put on the market, it is specially made by our school."

After Ma Di's explanation, there were more questions.Ma Di's school, that is, the laboratory of Bencheng University, is actually the same as a door in this hotel.How can this be explained?
The third uncle understood, and waved his hands at us: "Old Matou, this time you are considered to be very good. Thank you in advance."

Ma Su sneered and said, "Don't come here, what about the tree you mentioned? I smell the familiar smell of tree oil."

The third uncle pointed to the tree shadow: "It's over there, but we can't go there now. We have to wait..."
