I made myself the protagonist

Chapter 21 Opening the Cabinet Door

Since the priestess had given clues, everyone decided to go to the teaching building to check the situation.

In front of the team, Ling Yun walked up the stairs with a tarot card. The moment he entered the teaching building, three groups of words appeared on the cards again.

[Sixth Floor] [Storage Room] [Red Cabinet]

"This is where the clues are hidden?"

Joey Yang stepped forward and looked at the dark stairs not far away with suspicion: "Is the ability of these tarot cards really trustworthy? The witch asked us to draw them, just in case it tampered with them. what to do?"

"No. The tarot cards were prepared for us by Ark."

Ling Yun said: "Now we can't use powers or props. No matter how weak the witch is, she is still a ghost. Space will not allow players to deal with it with bare hands."

"But I still think there's something wrong with these tarot cards."

Su Li said: "Even if we are not allowed to use supernatural powers, ark can completely unlock other functional props. Why bother to get another set of Tarot cards?"

"The rules that allow players to fight each other and compete for Tarot cards are also very strange." Shen Tinglan said: "I'm afraid that in addition to the functions we know so far, these cards themselves also hide other secrets."

Ling Yun looked at Shen Tinglan expectantly, wanting him to continue talking.

He was afraid that if he revealed the truth directly, new changes would occur; this time, Ling Yun chose not to interfere with the progress of the mission. He knew that with Su Li's analytical ability and Shen Tinglan's wisdom, it wouldn't take long for the two of them to understand this. It’s about where the real way to survive lies.

"Oh, I tell you, don't worry about these things for now. Hurry up and look for clues!"

Seeing that more than thirty minutes had passed since the game started, Zhang Kai inevitably felt a little anxious.

Being interrupted like this, Shen Tinglan also retracted his gaze from the card in Ling Yun's hand, nodded and said: "Then let's go up first."

Although the power supply equipment in the teaching building was normal, for safety reasons, everyone did not choose to take the elevator but took the stairs.

After pushing open the door of the sixth-floor escape passage and entering the corridor, everyone quickly found the warehouse with a storage room sign.

At this time, the door was ajar and unlocked. The warehouse was dark, and there were several cabinets standing side by side inside, which seemed to be used to store archives.

Ling Yun turned on the flashlight and looked inside, and soon saw the red standing cabinet mentioned by the priestess on the wall.

The number six was marked on the cabinet with a black marker; there was a key inserted in the keyhole, which seemed to be able to open it directly.

However, the moment he saw the red cabinet, Ling Yun's face turned extremely pale.

He did not enter the warehouse immediately, but instead warned his teammates behind him in a low voice to stay as far away from the warehouse as possible.

"What's wrong?" Joey Yang suddenly became nervous when he saw him responding to the troops.

"666!" Lin Yuanqi suddenly spoke.

"What's the point of this, you still have the intention to joke around?!" Xu Li looked around and couldn't help scolding the other party.

"What he said is: sixth floor, sixth room, cabinet number six." Ling Yun frowned and explained.

After hearing what he said, Joey Yang and others counted and found that just as the other party said, this warehouse was ranked sixth from the entrance.

"What, the priestess is suggesting that we are lucky?"

Although Mu Jiu was joking, he could tell that Ling Yun's expression was anything but that.

"Generally, in the eyes of people in our country, numbers like 6 and 8 represent good luck. However, Tarot cards originated in the European Middle Ages and are an ancient divination tool in the West. In the Bible, 666 is the code name of the devil. Therefore, in the eyes of Westerners, , the three numbers 666 represent the devil, evil and unknown, and are a very unlucky symbol." Ling Yun wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said slowly:

"It seems like there isn't anything good behind this cabinet."

"Then Su Li is right. The priestess only told you that there are clues, but she did not say that there is a problem with the clues themselves..." Mu Jiu said nervously: "What should we do now? Do we want to go in?"

"To be on the safe side, I, Shen Tinglan, Fang Yuankui and Zhang Kai will go search the storage room in a moment. The rest of us will be on standby outside. If something goes wrong, evacuate immediately." Ling Yun thought for a moment and said.

"Yes." Fang Yuankui nodded and agreed. Zhang Kai also volunteered to stand up.

Fang Yuankui's tarot card depicts a king's chariot that overcomes obstacles and wins. Two lions, one black and one white, pull the chariot. The winner on the card stands on the chariot in a powerful posture. Above, it symbolizes the strong.

[Chariot] is a card that can increase the speed of all members, which is why Ling Yun gave Fang Yuankui priority. If they really encounter a witch attack, relying on the chariot, they can also have the capital to avert danger.

Zhang Kai's [Judgment] ability is by far the most buggy of all: the card depicts a scene where an angel blows a trumpet to allow the dead to be redeemed. Therefore, when the card determines that the holder is in danger of life, After that, the barrier will be released immediately to protect him from all damage from the outside world.

In order to ensure the fairness of the game, this card can only be used once. Once the barrier is destroyed, it will be completely ineffective.

As for the [Holy Grail] card in Shen Tinglan's hand, it represents [Unity] and [Group].

Therefore, when Shen Tinglan is with someone close to him, his luck will be improved, and he can even get some unexpected clues with a very low probability; but on the contrary, once he is alone, Shen Tinglan will be in danger.

"Although my cards are useless and can only add a moving good luck buff to the team, I have always been very lucky." Shen Tinglan patted Ling Yun on the shoulder and said: "Let's go, I hope We can save the day."

"Yeah." Ling Yun looked at the other party and secretly cursed in his heart: Even if you don't have this card, you still have the aura of the European Emperor. With you is the biggest guarantee that we can escape.

The four of them walked into the warehouse. Outside the door, in order to prevent something from suddenly appearing in the corridor, Su Li took Joey Yang, He Luo, Mu Jiu and Xu Li to stand in other directions to observe the surroundings.

Lin Yuanqi stood outside the warehouse, poked his head into the house, and said to Ling Yun and others: "Come on, come on, don't be afraid, everyone is outside and will support you at any time!"

"Can you be quiet and just stay outside?"

Tang Yao glanced at her card and nervously grabbed the opponent's arm, fearing that Lin Yuanqi's behavior would disturb Ling Yun and others in the room.

"I think the atmosphere at the scene was too tense, so I came out specifically to relax."

Lin Yuanqi joked a few words carelessly, but Tang Yao didn't pay attention to what he said, all her eyes fell on Ling Yun in front of the cabinet.

Ling Yun stood in front of the red cabinet. It was a standing cabinet about one meter wide and two meters high. It was standing quietly by the corner wall. Because of its age, the cabinet was covered with dark red

There are cracks, the skin is slightly peeled off, and mottled rust appears on the edge of the iron sheet. You can vaguely smell a strange fishy smell wafting inside.

Ling Yun reached for the key inserted in the lock cylinder, and when he turned it to unlock, his heartbeat almost jumped out of his throat.

Because of the joining of himself and Tang Yao, the cards in the hands of all players are now completely different from the original setting of the novel.

For example, according to the original plot, the [World] card should have been in Shen Tinglan's hand; in the end, he found all the players through the world and gathered everyone's strength to crack the clues.

But now, this card has fallen into the hands of others. Even Ling Yun himself doesn't know what the cards are in the hands of the eleven people on the other side.

"Although there is no movement in this cabinet, this smell... there cannot be a body hidden in it."

Zhang Kai boldly lay next to the cabinet and listened for a moment, then sniffed at the crack of the door and suddenly showed a disgusted expression.

"I would rather there is just a dead body inside." Ling Yun said with a bitter smile: "At least the body will not pose a life-threatening danger to us. Pay attention... I am going to open it."

"It's okay, let's go." Shen Tinglan did not back away, but took two steps forward and stood side by side in front of the cabinet with Ling Yun.

"Brother Ling...be careful..."

At the door, Tang Yao swallowed. Due to the special skills of her cards, she did not dare to step forward, for fear that it would harm Ling Yun. Lin Yuanqi also took off his sunglasses and put them in his breast pocket.

There is a hint of seriousness in the eyes that usually look lazy.

Under the nervous gazes of Fang Yuankui and Zhang Kai, Ling Yun took a deep breath, held the key in his right hand and turned it violently counterclockwise - click:

The door of the cabinet was opened by him.
