Chapter 219: Inspiration
Ding—
It was the sound of copper coins falling to the ground.
When Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe flapped his wings and climbed to a certain boundary, "up" became "down."
The original acceleration and inertia superimposed on the suddenly flipped gravity, and his body fell straight down like a cannonball. In the blink of an eye, Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe quickly reacted to what would happen next, but the hollow bones of birds could not force a change of direction at such a speed; that would only break the wings.
In the moment before hitting the ground above his head, the pitch-black wings of the bird of prey dissipated like a wisp of clear air, replaced by a beautiful ice-blue butterfly, flapping its wings full of scales and landing lightly on the ground.
The next moment, he died.
"Ah—!"
The ice-blue butterfly disappeared instantly. Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe knelt on one knee on the ground and opened his eyes suddenly, sweating profusely.
He died. Without any warning or abnormality, he had just died here.
Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe lowered his voice and panted lightly, looking around vigilantly. He had fallen into the basketball court near the prison factory. It was already night. The basketball court at night was empty. The prisoners who played basketball here during lunch break had already returned to their cells to sleep, and the patrolling prison guards were nowhere to be seen.
The empty basketball court was dim, with only a little bit of poor moonlight like broken silver sprinkled down, casting the boy's blurry and slender figure on the court. Further away was pitch black. In the quiet night, the sound of the alarm came faintly, sharp, sharp, and looming.
Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe didn't speak, silently took out a coin from his pocket, and threw it into the sky.
He lowered his head, not looking at the trajectory of the coin spinning in the air, until the coin hit the back of his head squarely, bringing a hot and clear stinging sensation.
"Fenwu is still nearby." Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe said in his heart.
He didn't know what had happened just now, but he could be sure that the moment he landed, he had already died here, and seamlessly bought back his life from the God of Wealth with 1 copper coin.
Clearing his thoughts, Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe stood up in the center of the basketball court. Fenwu didn't want Zhaoyou? Then come.
His left hand was lifted forward, flipping open an almanac that only he could see.
【Lunar June 27】
【Suitable: Travel, Cleaning, Moving, Marriage, Engagement, Burial, Encoffining】
【Taboo: Moving Graves, Groundbreaking, Accepting Wealth, Accepting Livestock, Digging Wells, Opening Pools, Planting, Seeking Children, Consecration】
It seems that staying near Fenwu has indeed made his luck worse. Even the taboos flipped out in the almanac are far more than the suitable things.
If he cannot escape the prison within today and continue to stay here and be affected by Fenwu... flipping out "Do not take any action" or even "Nothing is suitable" tomorrow is not impossible.
No, maybe he will die before that.
Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe looked at his watch. It was 21:22 PM. There were less than four hours until midnight.
"Must hurry up." Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe looked around again. The basketball court at night was quiet, and no abnormality was found. There was not a single person, dark and quiet, quiet to the point of being strange.
He moved his steps and walked to the aisle connecting the basketball court and the factory building.
There was a heavy iron door at each end of the aisle. The all-steel metal gate was locked from the inside. Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe tried to push it, but couldn't push it open.
This heavy gate that could easily keep ordinary people out was actually not difficult for Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe, who possessed Taiyi, to pass. He could turn into a bee or a butterfly and drill through the door crack, or at worst, turn into a bird and go directly through the sky.
But after thinking about it, Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe didn't choose to do so. "From Fenwu's performance all along, he doesn't know the specific rules of Taiyi, and even once didn't know the existence of Taiyi. This is my biggest trump card, and it is also the reason why he hasn't taken action against me."
Even if they had torn their faces apart, Fenwu was still lurking in the dark, without revealing any trace. This was enough to explain some things.
Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe pushed the door again, but the iron door remained motionless. Perhaps he should take a detour?
No... perhaps it's better not to take a detour.
There was no reason, just a feeling, a kind of intuition.
In the dark, a strange feeling lingered in Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe's heart. It couldn't be seen, couldn't be touched, couldn't be grasped, and couldn't be understood, but it was this kind of feeling that stopped Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe's footsteps from leaving.
Just like the riddle-maker who gives a difficult riddle will smile wickedly and give you one or two hints when you are racking your brains and can't figure it out, Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe also heard his own hint. An inaudible voice whispered in his ear, warning him:
She said, there is a "road" behind the door.
"That is Bai Zhi's 'sixth sense'..." Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe instantly understood where this strange inspiration came from.
He subconsciously tilted his head to listen, wanting to hear the ethereal voice more clearly, but after trying several times, he failed and had to give up.

Perhaps turning into Bai Zhi on the spot now would allow him to hear the hints a little more clearly, but it was not suitable here. In the case of not knowing whether Fenwu was secretly spying on him, any extra action was exposing more information.
Furthermore, Bai Zhi's physical fitness was not very good, and her weak body was full of heavy burdens, not suitable for long-term strenuous exercise.
"Hoo..."
Following his intuition, Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe bent down, supported the iron door with both hands, knelt on one knee, leaned down, and looked inside through the gap between the door and the floor.
The aisle behind the door didn't have the lights on. What came into view was pitch black. Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe shone a flashlight into the door crack. The walls on both sides of the aisle were snow-white, empty, and only a black thing in the center of the aisle was round and rolling, with a pool of dried blood underneath. It was a person's head.
The light of the flashlight made that thing react. The bloody head slowly turned, facing the direction of the gate, and a pair of red eyes stared straight over. It was Old Li standing upside down with his head down.
Click—
Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe turned off the flashlight and turned to leave.
The next moment, a thumping sound kept ringing from the aisle behind him. The upside-down corpse hit the ground with its head and jumped to the tightly closed iron gate, hitting the heavy iron gate from the inside again and again.
Clang, clang, clang. Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe didn't say a word, crossed the basketball court, and came to the concrete building separated from that aisle by the entire court. This is one of the prison guards' lounges, where you can see the entire basketball court directly.
Prisoners are people who have committed things, and their tempers are generally not very good. Basketball is also famous for having many physical contacts. After a game, who knows when a conflict will arise? It is better for prison guards to be closer so that they can suppress it at any time when the signs of a real-person fight appear, and extinguish the riot that has not yet formed in time.
The thumping sound of hitting the iron gate kept coming from the basketball court behind him, one sound heavier than the other, one sound more urgent than the other, as if the monster locked behind the door could break through the door at any time.
Strong psychological quality made Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe turn a deaf ear to this. He went straight to the steps of the prison guard lounge, intending to see if any door was unlocked.
"Woo, woo woo..."
Low crying came from inside.
