Moreover, the image depicted on the card is rather eerie; to others, it appears as a headless monk in a black robe, looking strange and ethereal.

Even though the monk was headless, everyone could still sense that a gaze was watching them...

But in the saleswoman's eyes, this monk clearly had a head, and the head on its neck was clearly her own head!

It was a dead man's head with his eyes closed, his face pale, and even his hair was a bit messy.

The saleswoman covered her mouth and shook her head, desperately trying to throw the card away. But no matter what she did, she couldn't get rid of it. She staggered backward, almost falling to the ground.

Chu Jiang grabbed the saleswoman's shoulder. "Calm down, tell me what you saw?"

The saleswoman, her voice trembling with tears, stammered, "My head, my head, it's up there."

Chu Jiang looked at the card again. This monk was not an Eastern bald monk, but a Western Taoist priest, just commonly known as a monk.

Monks can be seen as male versions of nuns, and they may even have appeared earlier than nuns.

Chu Jiang touched the card, but didn't see the saleswoman's head on it, so he simply said in a calm voice, "Don't panic, your card isn't as dangerous as the policewoman's, let alone mine."

Yes, after handling it himself, Chu Jiang could tell that the danger level of red was somewhere between purple and grayish-white.

Do these four colors correspond to the four grades S, A, B, and C?

As Chu Jiang was speculating, the firefighter, looking rather grim, stepped forward. After confirming with Chu Jiang with his eyes, he shakily reached out and took the last card.

He breathed a sigh of relief when he opened it; the border was gray and white.

As for the image depicted on the card, it was a blurry figure burning something in front of a grave. The firefighters couldn't quite make out what it was burning, but it looked like newspapers or paper.

Moreover, this card is very understated; as long as you don't stare at it, it won't give you any strange feeling.

Of course, if the card is of very low danger, it probably means that the resources available to firefighters are not very strong either.

Chapter 239 An Unfavorable Start

After the firefighters showed their cards to everyone, Chu Jiang nodded.

"Next, we should be able to open the door. Let me tell you beforehand, follow my instructions. No matter how terrifying or frightening things you encounter, you must not scream or run away recklessly."

At this point, the bald man asked in return, "If we do everything you say, will we definitely survive?"

Chu Jiang calmly replied, "Not necessarily. I'm not even sure if I can survive myself, so how can I give you any guarantees?"

"Of course, you can disobey my orders and separate from me once you go inside. But you can't run away now; everyone must go inside. That's the rule."

As he spoke, Chu Jiang coldly glanced at everyone, not letting them back down after receiving the cards.

No one dared to look Chu Jiang in the eye. The skinny man coughed and then said, "I will definitely be following behind Captain Chu. Anyone who wants to be separated from us after we go in should say so beforehand. Don't cause trouble to split up after we go in."

Silence fell over the room again, except for the saleswoman whispering to the two foreigners.

Seeing that no one objected, Chu Jiang took the initiative to walk to the door and said, "Let's go in."

He pushed with both hands, and this time the castle gate was easily opened, but inside it was completely dark, a bottomless blackness.

“Everyone will hold hands and go in together. This time, there’s no question of who goes first or last.” Chu Jiang said, extending his hand.

The others agreed one by one. Because the castle's entrance was very large and wide, seven people could walk in side by side without any problem, and there was even room to spare.

As soon as they entered the darkness, everyone felt very uncomfortable, as if they were crawling through a layer of thick, foul-smelling blood, and at one point they even felt unable to breathe.

Fortunately, the feeling quickly passed, and when everyone opened their eyes, they found themselves in a closed room, not inside a castle at all.

Chu Jiang looked back and said, "It seems that the so-called castle is just an illusion. Don't even dream that you'll encounter werewolves or vampires. If you do, I'll laugh out loud."

There was no door behind it, just a solid wall.

Chu Jiang let go of the wall, stepped forward and knocked on it. This thing was incredibly "hard," not in a physical sense, but in a supernatural sense.

Chu Jiang suspected that even if he used all his Chu Zang power, he would not be able to break through the wall and force his way out.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that Chu Jiang can only control one pair of hands.

"There's a door up ahead," the skinny man pointed to the door directly in front of everyone.

After entering, no one dared to move, but they were all looking around the room.

The room was empty and should have been dark, but at this moment there was a faint, eerie green light emanating from some moss-like "plants" on the ceiling.

There was only one door in the room, right in front of everyone.

The door wasn't big; it was just an ordinary wooden door. The only special thing about it was that there was a blood-red symbol on it—an irregular "one."

This may not necessarily be text, because it is just a simple horizontal line, which could represent the first room.

Chu Jiang took the initiative to step forward to check on him, and told the others to follow behind him and not to stray too far from him.

After observing for a while, Chu Jiang didn't get many clues. He guessed, "There are seven of us. Maybe we'll have to go through seven rooms next."

"We don't know what's in the room, let's go one by one, don't get separated..."

Before Chu Jiang could finish speaking, the door suddenly opened from the inside out!

Everyone was startled and immediately retreated, even Chu Jiang immediately went into battle mode.

But to everyone's surprise, the one who opened the room was the bald man. He was panting heavily, with multiple wounds on his body, his left hand tightly gripping a card, and his right hand holding a gun.

After the door opened, even the bald man was stunned for a moment, then his pupils contracted sharply, as if he had reacted instantly.

This process is extremely brief, lasting less than a second.

While Chu Jiang's group was still in shock, the bald man, covered in blood, roared, "Don't trust this guy! He'll kill everyone!"

Just as the bald man raised his gun, intending to aim it at Chu Jiang, he suddenly seemed to remember something, rolled to the ground, and tried to close the door behind him.

Unfortunately, it was too late. Even though he foresaw what was about to happen to him, he was still grabbed back by a huge, dark hand that reached out from behind the door.

"Ahhh!" Amidst a scream, the door slammed shut again.

After a few seconds of silence, everyone looked at the bald man in their direction and moved away from him with some fear.

Why are there two bald men? Which one is real? Which one is fake?

The bald man was clearly the most incredulous. "Why are you looking at me like that?! I came in hand in hand with you all, I'm absolutely true!"

Chu Jiang looked at the bald man, his expression extremely complicated. What was going on? Was he deliberately creating an illusion to cause infighting among them before they even began exploring?

At this moment, the thin man also frowned. After thinking for a while, he said, "I believe you are real, but the question is, what exactly was that being that just came out? Was it a human or a ghost?"

"Of course it's a ghost," the student muttered softly. "How could there be two people who look exactly alike?"

"Is what he said true or false?" the saleswoman asked, shrinking back slightly.

The bald man bluntly stated that Chu Jiang was untrustworthy and would kill everyone.

"No, no, no," the policewoman stepped forward, waving her hands and saying a few words. The gist of her message was that everyone shouldn't panic, and even more importantly, shouldn't lose faith in their captain, as this might be some manipulative schemer.

Chu Jiang simply looked at the bald man and asked, "What do you think?"

The bald man's expression was also complicated. "Of course I trust the captain. No matter what that thing was, let's ignore it and keep moving forward."

"Then let's keep going." Chu Jiang didn't say anything about confiscating the gun from the bald man; he simply walked towards the closed door first.

"Let's make this clear first, I'll open this door. If any new doors appear later, you'll open them one by one."

Although some of these seven people are ordinary people and others are ghost masters, in order to continue to survive here, everyone must do something, and no one can bear all the risks alone.

No one disagreed with Chu Jiang's words. Or rather, even if a few individuals disagreed, they kept it to themselves and dared not speak out.

Chapter 240 The First Dead

As soon as the door opened, Chu Jiang immediately retreated warily to prevent the huge black hand from reaching out again.

But to everyone's surprise, not only did the hand not extend, but the situation behind the door was different from what they had just seen.

When the door opened earlier, all they could see was darkness; now, at least the room opposite looks like an ordinary room, seemingly no different from this one.

Oh wait, that room across the street seems to be several times longer than this one.

"Come in, everyone." Chu Jiang was the first to cautiously step into the room.

Others followed one after another, since there was no way to escape now and they could only move forward.

The two rooms look almost identical, with the only two differences being: the room lengths are different; and the distribution of moss on the ceiling seems to be slightly different.

There is another door opposite this room, with a similar bloody symbol on it, but it is two horizontal lines, which looks a bit like the number "two" from a distance.

It's worth noting that the two horizontal lines are the same length, meaning that this is indeed very likely not a character. When there's a seventh room, there will be seven horizontal lines, not just the character "七" (seven).

"Don't move or do anything rash. Look around. I don't believe it's that simple. Just walk over there, open a door, and we can get into the next room."

"If you discover anything unusual, don't explore it on your own; tell me first."

Chu Jiang patiently explained things to everyone.

Everyone nodded. When it came to their own lives, there were no particularly stupid or reckless people here.

Everyone was carefully observing their surroundings, but they really couldn't see anything with the naked eye.

Even Chu Jiang's extrasensory perception didn't play a significant role.

"Could the dangerous spot actually be those inconspicuous mos ...

As for the symbol for the second door, that doesn't count.

"If that's the case, then you absolutely shouldn't touch them, or even pay too much attention to them."

After speaking, Chu Jiang thought for a moment and then had everyone follow behind him, walking forward little by little, with great patience.

Anyway, the room is only this big, no more than 20 meters long and no more than 5 meters wide.

Even if everyone walks slowly, they will eventually encounter the second door.

Actually, before coming in, Chu Jiang had considered whether to use the Ghost Domain to shroud everyone before entering.

However, fearing that doing so would directly trigger some kind of supernatural killing pattern, he ultimately chose to enter in a normal manner.

......

Because Chu Jiang walked very slowly, observing the room for any changes with almost every step, his speed was barely faster than a snail's.
