Weak in affinity talent? Female ghosts are eager to give hints.

"Um?"

"This is?!"

A beam of bright moonlight inexplicably shimmered from the bottom of the well...

A male monk was dragging his body as he climbed toward the well.

The moonlight shone on his face, making him look pale and forlorn.

It looked like he had lost an arm; one hand was constantly clawing at the wall, while the sleeve of the other hand was empty!

even so!

He kept trying to climb towards the well opening, his remaining hand, his fingernails dug into the well wall, his fingers bloody and mangled, yet he kept climbing...

"A man?"

An Lan was somewhat confused as she watched this scene!

Isn't this the "Shennien-an" (神隐庵)?

How could there be a man among them?

As it slowed its crawling motion, a human face appeared above the well opening!

She has delicate features and a head of wavy red hair.

When that face looked down, there was a clear hint of pity in its eyes!

An Lan glanced at the woman and immediately thought of someone—[Huanglian]!

That's right!

This woman's face looks exactly like Coptis chinensis!

However, this woman is not wearing a monk's robe or practicing asceticism; her eyes are full of worldly airs.

"Hey! Master Jinshan, is there any need to push yourself?"

"Haven't you suffered enough?"

"You should know... if you had agreed to our terms from the beginning, you could have enjoyed all of this..."

Why do you do this to yourself?

"Huanglian" calmly looked down, her eyes filled with complex emotions: "You probably don't know... Bilian has already..."

"Shut up!"

"What about her? What does she have to do with me?!"

"Monks are free from worldly desires! My original intention was to go to hell to deliver you from suffering..."

"pity!"

"In the end, it's nothing more than the farmer and the snake! Your nature is wicked, you are incapable of being redeemed!"

"Get away! Don't try to persuade me. That kind of magic is not something people like you can even dream of!"

An angry voice came from below the well, and An Lan glanced down.

The monk waved his robe and disappeared into a dead corner at the bottom of the well.

"Why..."

Why are you doing this to yourself...?

"..."

At the well's edge, 'Huanglian' sighed, shook her head, and left: "If you don't agree, you'll only suffer more..."

...]

The moonlight and the scene began to fade away...

"Rustling sound—"

Climbing upwards along the nylon rope, the Buddhist prayer beads in my arms warmed up again.

Looking up, An Lan saw that the well's outlet was now sealed with cement bricks. It was airtight, and the air was thick with a sense of oppression...

"Uh...uh..."

"Did it fail?"

"Bilian...Bilian...how could you be so cruel..."

"You...you're not even human anymore..."

A sobbing sound came from below the well. A female monk, dressed in a robe and with delicate features, sat on the solid earth at the bottom. Because the well opening was sealed and the bottom was filled with clods of earth, her space for survival was extremely limited!

In addition, the lack of air circulation caused the nun's face to turn black.

Her fingers kept digging into the edge of the well wall, her suppressed breathing making her unaware that her fingers were becoming raw and ulcerated...

"Holy crap!"

"This is..."

"【Coptis chinensis】?!"

An Lan glanced down and immediately recognized the monk's face; it was almost identical to "Huang Lian" in the [Cheng Bu Hui] favorability CG.

"During this time period..."

"It must be the time when she couldn't leave the well, and then returned to the [Hidden Hermitage], where she was trapped inside the sealed well?"

"Then the previous scene, that male monk, must have been from a much earlier time? Several years ago? Or even longer?"

"..."

An Lan speculated...

Huanglian's neck began to twitch incessantly, and her whole body convulsed uncontrollably.

The outline of her fingers protruded from her skin, and her consciousness seemed to be fading. She kept muttering, "No regrets... no regrets... no regrets..."

"Huh?"

"You actually dare?"

"I've treated you like a sister for so many years..."

"You actually want that sacrifice to know everything?"

"What... have you developed feelings for her?"

Suddenly!

A muffled sound came from above the well, as if someone had stepped on the well cover.

"You...you have no heart..."

"You have no heart..."

"She...she is..."

"Shut up! When did it become your business to interfere in my affairs?!"

"Where did the ruthlessness you showed against Kingsoft go?!"

"You—you have no...heart—"

"snort..."

"This is your own choice! You could have been with me..."

"Tap tap tap... tap tap tap..."

As the footsteps that had sealed the well above faded away, 'Huanglian' lay in the corner, her face utterly ashen. Her pupils were wide open, staring up at the sealed well opening, as if she had seen something...

His face was full of mocking and sarcastic smiles...

"Buzz—"

The prayer beads trembled slightly...

The well in front of An Lan cleared up again, and the surrounding well walls gradually became wet this time.

An Lan frowned: "You still have memories?"

He was somewhat surprised.

Those two memory clips alone contained a lot of information.

(Bi Lian and Huang Lian seem to have imprisoned and abused a monk before... in order to obtain some secret method from him? But the monk refused to yield and even said that he couldn't help them pass on to the afterlife...)

Ah!

There's a lot of story to tell!

As for the second scene, that's pretty obvious!

(Huang Lian probably went to another dimension to find the Buddhist beads for Ye. In the end, it's likely that someone took the rope from the well after she went down, trapping her inside! When the real world returned, she suffocated completely... and died in the well!)

In another dimension, she became a monster who only remembered "Three, two, one, freeze!"

Speaking of which!

The combination of these two images is quite ironic!

In the previous scene, Huanglian was persuading the monk in the well to heed her advice. But in the next scene, she herself becomes that monk, buried in the well, mocked by her companions...

The scripts used are almost identical.

"This...it really is a cycle..."

"Rustling sound—"

"Rustling sound—"

As you climb up the damp well wall, you suddenly hear a series of "tap tap tap" footsteps!

【"oops..."

A chubby girl's face with pigtails appeared at the mouth of the well.

"Feed—"

Is anyone there?

"Is anyone there?"

That was a very familiar face.

The little girl shouted loudly and peered down into the well.

Below was still a dried-up well, with no sign of life.

"Tap tap tap—"

A moment later, a series of hurried footsteps sounded, and another handsome face appeared at the wellhead.

[Huanglian] scooped up the little girl in his arms: "Oh... my little darling—what are you doing here?"

"Hehehe..."

"Because it's too boring in the temple..."

"Aunt Huanglian...hug me—"

"Hey... if you're bored, tell Auntie... how about Auntie plays 'Red Light, Green Light' with you?"

"good--"

"Then... remember this... that long, thin shadow hanging down in the well, that's a giant snake! A multicolored snake! You absolutely mustn't go down!"

"ah?!"

"I will remember this! I will remember this!"

"..."

After the two faces peered into the well for a while, a complex emotion flickered across Huang Lian's face. The little girl, on the other hand, looked terrified and buried her face in Huang Lian's arms.

"Tap tap tap... tap tap tap..."

A short while later...

Huang Lian carried the little girl away from the well, their footsteps fading into the distance...

"Buzz—"

The Buddhist prayer beads in An Lan's arms also went completely cold after this scene ended.

"..."

An Lan squinted, staring at the wellhead with a strange expression for a long time, as if she was deep in thought.

until!

Another head popped up in front of the well, and Jiang Lai's boisterous voice rang out: "Look! Look, look, look! I even asked [Sword of Pinocchio], and An Lan is perfectly fine!"

"Look! Isn't he climbing up with a rope?"

"Huh? Yeah, yeah!"

"Anlan! What's down there?"

Wen Lan also came over, and An Lan finally came to her senses and climbed out of the well in one go using the rope.

"Thump—"

When Anlan returned to the edge of the well, she looked down at the bottom and still felt a sense of unreality.

He just viewed memories from three different time periods...

It seems that so much has happened in this well.

"Anlan!"

"What's going on next?"

Long Ao and Zhao Kuo also came over. An Lan blinked and said, "It's hard to say... I can explain it to you slowly when I get back... This alternate dimension might be related to some people..."

"good..."

"So what do we do now?"

"Let's wait..."

"wait?"

"Yes! Because this area is only so big... we can probably only wait until the world recovers..."

"OK--"

The group of five silently distanced themselves from the Kshatriyas and Brahmins on the other side of the well.

Kshatriya saw that Anlan had returned, but Shudra had not. His face remained dark.

at last!

He couldn't hold back any longer. "Hey! You Chinese brat! I'm asking you, where are my men?!"

"Your people?"

"Where are your people...? Ask your people!"

Why are you asking me?

"you--"

Enraged by An Lan's words, Kshatriya leaned close to the well and shouted several times, "Hey! Hey! Shudra! Shudra, where are you?! Come back! Come back!!!"

"..."

The sound echoed continuously inside the well, but there was no echo below.

Kshatriya grew anxious and turned to look at the Brahmin behind him. The Brahmin immediately nodded and began to stroke the crystal ball in his hand.

After the starlight shimmered on the surface of the sphere, the Brahman's eyes widened in surprise!

"[Pluto]..."

"It symbolizes death..."

"Captain... Captain! Shudra... seems to be dead!"

"What?!"

"What did you say?! He's dead?! How could that be?! I was just following him, not letting him make a move! You can't die just by using your shadow to follow someone, can you?!"

"How...how is this possible?!"

Upon hearing this, Kshatriya was filled with disbelief.

MD!

How can you die while remotely tracking someone with your shadow?

Do you even know how to play?

"I...I don't know..."

"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!"

"An Lan! Was it you?! Did you kill my team members?!"

His eyes were already bloodshot and brimming with tears. Kshatriya stared intently at An Lan, who stood behind Zhao Kuo and shrugged indifferently: "No..."

"You're lying!"

"Tsk... I, An Lan, hate lying the most..."

"I can tell you, there's a monster down there... I dodged its attack, but he didn't... that's all!"

"you--"

"Hey—if you don't believe me, you can go down and see for yourself..."

An Lan said nonchalantly.

The chat is exploding!

[666! In some ways, Emperor An Tian is actually right! He really didn't kill Shudra! Wasn't that done by a monster?]

【That makes perfect sense! If I beat you until you can't move your limbs, and then put you in the lion's mouth, then the lion will kill you!】

[Emperor An is killing people by destroying their spirit! If he can fool another one, he'll make a killing!]

[So that's why Emperor Antian didn't drag the corpse up here! He was waiting here!]

【...】

The barrage of comments kept coming.

An Lan looked at Kshatriya with a teasing expression. Kshatriya had indeed considered going down to take a look, but he still cautiously turned back and glanced at the Brahmin behind him...

The Brahman stroked the crystal ball, and the image of Pluto reappeared on it. The Brahman's face darkened.

"team leader..."

"They've gone down!"

"It's a near-death experience!!!"

"..."

Kshatriya remained silent and moved away from the well.

"Tsk—"

An Lan shook her head in boredom, giving the Brahman a meaningful look. This "divination" guy was really a troublesome fellow!
