The Abyssal Garden: No Room for the Idle Chapter 86 86 Quadrilateral Game

???

The middle-aged man's smile froze, as he blankly stared at the opened door, and the two people chatting.

Left Hand exclaid in surprise, "You found the key!"

Su Qi nodded and thought for a mont, "Hmm, right under the carpet!"

"Damn, it's that obvious? I was flipping through the cabinet for ages and found nothing! To think it was in that place!" Left Hand rubbed his chin in annoyance.

Watching the two chatting as they walked out.

The middle-aged man roared inside his heart!

You're tricking ghosts!

The damn key was right under my tongue!

By the normal process!

You were supposed to find the key and then try to carefully retrieve it before I hit the ground. Then, at the mont you were about to take it out, I would hit the ground... and slaughter you two!

Why aren't you following the rules!

And how the hell was this door opened?

Co back here!

Unfortunately, the middle-aged man, with his neck tightly constricted, couldn't say a word, making an indistinct sound.

"Abba abba abba!"

Left Hand was taken aback, "What's wrong with him?"

Su Qi looked back at the middle-aged man, "Maybe he's in a rush to use the bathroom?"

"Is that so..." Left Hand followed Su Qi out, still sowhat confused.

He vaguely felt that sothing was not right, wondering if leaving was too simple. Was this really beyond Nightmare-level difficulty?

"Bang!"

The next instant, the door shut rcilessly!

Leaving the middle-aged man still hanging there, gently swinging as if on a swing.

"....."

After the two left the bedroom, there was a dark corridor.

Su Qi looked at the corridor, which, though flickering with dim lighting, appeared very dark due to the enclosed environnt and the absence of any external light sources.

"It seems they haven't co out yet," Left Hand squinted.

Their item slots were temporarily locked, so they couldn't contact each other with stones.

Su Qi didn't explain. He skipped the level directly through the [?] hint. Wasn't it quick? In Tentacle Man's apartnt, it was the sa. Doors were just not that much of a challenge for Su Qi.

They walked around and both realized the issue.

Left Hand frowned deeply, "Did you notice?"

"Yep."

Left Hand spoke gravely, "There's no exit in this corridor, it's a swastika shape! And... even the door we just ca out of has disappeared."

Su Qi's eyes held a bit of interest as he looked around, "Ghost wall, huh."

Indeed, there was a sinister Strength influencing this place.

Suddenly, Su Qi saw a [?]. He walked over and looked at the darkened corner with interest, "There's so writing here..."

It was carved forcefully with a sharp object.

The next mont.

A prompt appeared in both their sights.

[To break the ghost wall, you must... play the four-corners ga!]

Left Hand's gaze sharpened, "The four-corners ga..."

"A kind of spiritual exploration ga."

Su Qi softly explained, "Four people stand in the four corners of the swastika corridor. One person walks behind the next, taps his shoulder, and calls out his own na. Then the next person does the sa, continues walking forward... Relay this until the fourth person reaches the first person's original spot and coughs to signal everyone is in place."

He showed so interest, "The most interesting part of this ga... is that there might appear a fifth person who doesn't exist."

"Why are you so familiar with it?! And where is it interesting?! It's obviously very eerie and dangerous!"

Left Hand furrowed his brow, "But right now, there's just the two of us."

Su Qi looked towards the distant wall, where suddenly a door flickered in and out of view, "It seems the other two have arrived."

Earring Youth [Qing Lang]

Wavy Hair Woman [Bai Qiangwei]

The two suddenly burst out, quickly closing the door behind them, ensuring that nothing inside had erged before they began to gasp for air violently!

It was clear from their bodies that they had been in a fight.

Oh.

Don't misunderstand... it was a real fight.

They suddenly heard footsteps and looked up with extre caution, only to see Su Qi and Left Hand, and they breathed a sigh of relief: "It's just you guys."

After a few more gasps for air, they had recovered sowhat.

Then they began to recount how they too had been trapped in a storage room, where a ghost baby had been lurking... very dangerous. In order to obtain the key, they nearly faced a fatal threat! Thankfully, being super rookies, they reacted swiftly and, using all the information and clues from the room, they managed to turn the tables and escaped!

Left Hand's silence grew deeper the more he listened.

This didn't seem to match their experience.

"You guys seem to have co out ahead of us," Qing Lang observed, noting no signs of battle on them; their clothes were even tidy.

Left Hand opened his mouth: "Well..."

"Similar to you guys," Su Qi's eyes darkened slightly as he spoke, "We nearly died in there too, the deathly gazes, the terrifying laughter, the aningless speech... Finally, we opened the door with difficulty and luckily escaped with our lives."

Left Hand: "...."

Is that so! It sounded very believable... but sothing didn't feel right, damn it!

Left Hand sighed: "Anyway, a warning for you all now, we've encountered a ghost wall and are trapped in this hallway puzzle."

He led the two over to where the inscription was.

Qing Lang and Bai Qiangwei's expressions tightened; they were obviously familiar with this four-cornered ga as well.

And there were several more cautionary rules.

[Rule One: In the event of anything happening, please absolutely do not look back!]

[Rule Two: When tapping soone's shoulder, please announce your own na!]

[Rule Three: If you notice sothing is amiss, choose your own thod to deal with it!]

Bai Qiangwei looked down, her expression grave: "It looks like... there will be great danger; the male protagonist and the ghost baby have appeared, next, I'm afraid the female protagonist will make her entrance."

Qing Lang calmly proposed: "If a fifth person appears at that ti, then we would only be able to run frantically along the hallway until an exit from this ghost wall appears."

"The other two... are probably trapped in a room sowhere, they won't be able to leave on their own; the ga must be completed by us four."

In this instance, there were many fatal threats; the passage of ti was not aningless, as dragging things out felt increasingly dangerous.

Su Qi snapped his fingers: "I think there's an even better way to handle this."

"What is it?"

They looked at this sowhat unfamiliar man before them.

"If sothing feels off, don't make a fuss. Just play a few more rounds; maybe a sixth person will show up, and we can let them fight it out. That way, everything would be resolved."

What an odd idea! And the serious way you're considering it is freaking us out!

Watching as Su Qi walked towards the end of the hallway.

Bai Qiangwei looked sowhat stunned at Left Hand: "He must be joking, right?"

Left Hand was about to nod but hesitated.

Well... he really wasn't sure.

"Let's go," Qing Lang said with calm composure, "ti waits for no one, we'll decide on the spot."

In such an instance, any plans or strategies could easily lead to unexpected accidents, so it all depended on each person's ability to judge and react to the situation.

Four corners.

Qing Lang, number one.

Left Hand, number two.

Bai Qiangwei, number three.

And Su Qi was the last.

But as they took their positions, the lights in the hallway suddenly went out! Complete darkness, without a single glimr of light!

The three of them couldn't see anything in front of them, and their hearts sank!

Yet in the darkness, Su Qi's vision was crystal clear, seeing through everything.
