Chapter 6, Air Raid Shelter

Believe it or not, there are many things that science cannot explain, and thus they are all categorized as superstitions! I argued defiantly, "To tell you the truth, I can show you things that you usually cannot see!"

Then can we go back? It's pitch dark here, and quite frightening. The chubby girl had long wanted to back out, and after hearing Wang Yuqing's words, she couldn't wait to return.

Should we go in and take a look? There might be some good things hidden inside. Since the entrance is open, I don't want to miss the chance to see it first. Without waiting for their response, I shone my flashlight carefully; the steps are narrow, but one person can still pass through. Turning back to see the excitement on their faces, I didn't need an answer to know what they were thinking.

As they spoke, they instinctively distanced themselves from me, fearing that prolonged contact would indeed reveal things they did not wish to see

"You just can't help it, make sure you don't look down, otherwise..." Before I could finish my sentence, I heard Lu Fei exclaim "Wow" as he suddenly vomited, a wave of sourness almost made me lose my composure as well

I think this is the end. It seems that they only excavated it to this extent back then. The howling ghostly sounds might just be the airflow passing through this ventilation hole and then blowing out from the morgue. It appears that our visit was not in vain; at least we have uncovered the true reason behind the haunting of the White Building. Wang Yuqing integrated her previous experiences and conducted a meticulous analysis. Upon hearing this, we felt that it indeed made sense, and she seemed quite pleased with herself.

"Earthworm?" Wang Yuqing was taken aback for a moment, and the image of that wet, slippery, and wriggling creature immediately surfaced in her mind. She cleverly raised the position of the flashlight, trying her best to avoid those slimy earthworms

"Please wait a moment," I said, as I seemed to sense a chill in the air. I carefully sniffed with my nose, then took out a compass. The needle of the compass spun around several times before pointing directly in one direction, which coincided with the direction of the chill I had sensed.

Wang Yuqing and the chubby girl seemed to doubt my words, "Then what were you smelling with your nose just now? Is your nose like a dog's? Can it detect different scents?"

This situation is not right, so I quickly checked his ear. There was a small wound, which had already swollen and turned black. This is bad! This spider is poisonous! "Beauty, this spider seems to be highly venomous. Quickly, help me find some gauze or something like that. I need to help him detoxify." I hurriedly called Wang Yuqing for assistance.

I do not know what this is, but since Wang Yuqing said so, I will use it for now. I did not expect this thing to be so effective; it instantly absorbed the black blood. After several repetitions, I finally managed to clear the black blood completely. With the toxic blood cleared, Lu Fei slowly began to wake up, looking at us with a dazed expression: "Why do I feel like my head is so heavy and my ears are in so much pain? What are you all doing surrounding me?"

I just want to see what the structure inside is, who knew there was a poisonous spider?" Luffy said angrily while touching his head, and then added, "In my judgment, this should be a temporary air raid shelter dug in the 1950s or 1960s.

Thanks to my reminder, Wang Yuqing and Pang Niu both escaped this calamity, but poor Lu Fei had just been bitten by a poisonous spider and was now on the verge of vomiting his intestines, feeling completely weak. There was no choice but for me to support him as we fought our way through the pile of earthworms. Fortunately, not the entire passage was filled with earthworms; after walking a short distance, the surroundings began to dry up, and the earthworms gradually disappeared. The passage slowly rose and then gradually descended; it started off quite narrow but became wider as we walked. After a few minutes, we arrived at a place resembling a hall, with several semicircular grooves on the cave walls, which seemed to be intended for placing lamps. There was also a small hole in the ceiling, likely for ventilation. I felt with my hand, and a gust of cold wind blew out from the small hole, proving that this ventilation hole was still unobstructed; otherwise, we would have suffocated long ago.

"What are you two doing down there? What is that sound? It's so disgusting?" Wang Yuqing also climbed down, as I certainly did not want my dream lover to be throwing up messily in front of me. "Wait a moment, you need to be mentally prepared; the ground down here is covered with earthworms. You must not look down at the ground, raise the flashlight higher, otherwise, you will also make such a disgusting sound like Lu Fei."

I waved the object in my hand and said, "You were bitten by a poisonous spider, and we are helping you detoxify. Don't say this thing is really useful." I then turned to look at Wang Yuqing and the chubby girl, "Where did you get this? It's quite useful, though it looks a bit strange. Next time, give me a few pieces too."

I wanted to say something else when suddenly a strong premonition surged forth, causing my body to sway involuntarily. I still cannot fully control this innate ability of mine, and I do not know what this premonition signifies, whether it is a blessing or a curse; I can only take one step at a time.

Luffy actually called me Mu Sheng instead of Little Liar, it seems he was truly frightened by my words. "Yin energy is not necessarily a ghost; anything from the dark side carries yin energy. Humans also carry yin energy, but the yang energy is stronger than the yin energy, so it is not felt. For instance, in places of mountain shade, burial grounds, deep waters, and among beings living in darkness, the yin energy tends to be heavier. I often come into contact with these things while studying the law on the mountain, so I am very sensitive to them." For instance, in places of mountain shade, burial grounds, deep waters, and among beings living in darkness, the yin energy tends to be heavier. I often come into contact with these things while studying the law on the mountain, so I am very sensitive to them.

I shone the flashlight and exclaimed, "My goodness." I was so frightened that my face turned pale; the ground was covered with slippery earthworms, countless worms wriggling together, and the sight made even me feel nauseous

Please don't do this, I was just joking, I am a normal person too, don't treat me like a monster! Alright, alright, I won't scare you!

In my moment of urgency, Wang Yuqing handed me an object, flat and made of paper, quite large, somewhat resembling gauze but not exactly. "Try using this to absorb, it's very absorbent, it might be useful," she said.

After listening to my story, the chubby girl and Wang Yuqing couldn't help but laugh, saying: "Oh, so that's how the nickname 'little liar' came about? I see you are quite the smooth talker; perhaps you should consider a career change? Becoming a fortune teller would suit you quite well!"

I looked and said, "Hey, why are you making such a fuss? What is there to be afraid of with just a spider?" After saying this, I flicked my finger, and a black spider fell from Lu Fei's ear.

Suddenly, a spark of inspiration flashed through my mind, a strong premonition stimulating my brain. I knew this was the sixth sense that my master often spoke of, reawakening once again

For some reason, both Wang Yuqing and the chubby girl turned red in the face all of a sudden. At that moment, I thought to myself, why be so stingy? I just wanted to take a few more for future use. Later, I found out that it was a sanitary pad specifically for girls, and it was even ultra-thin with a mesh surface. I had no idea which of the two had used it. (One thing is certain, it definitely had not been used; otherwise, Lu Fei would have fought me.) As soon as Lu Fei saw what I was holding, he was taken aback and became much more alert. "You... you... you aren't going to use this to detoxify me, are you? Oh no, oh no, this time I'm really in big trouble." (One thing is certain, it definitely had not been used; otherwise, Lu Fei would have fought me.) As soon as Lu Fei saw what I was holding, he was taken aback and became much more alert. "You... you... you aren't going to use this to detoxify me, are you? Oh no, oh no, this time I'm really in big trouble."

At first, they were curious about what was invisible to them, but upon careful consideration, they immediately felt a chill run down their spines. The things that are usually unseen were being spoken of by someone who claimed to be a practitioner of the Dao. Without needing to guess, it was certainly about ghosts! Although they all verbally denied believing in ghosts, deep down, there was still an inexplicable fear.

After the establishment of the nation, in order to prevent hostile forces from bombing coastal provinces, air-raid shelters were dug in these areas. However, the scale and style of these shelters were not standardized and depended entirely on local manpower and financial resources. Some air-raid shelters were merely deeper earth pits. In my childhood, I often saw such shelters in my rural hometown and would sometimes climb in to play. This particular air-raid shelter was relatively large but quite rudimentary, only qualifying as mid to low grade. However, after our country entered a period of peaceful development, most of these earthen air-raid shelters became obsolete and were gradually forgotten. Unexpectedly, today we stumbled upon an air-raid shelter hidden in the basement of this white building. Although it is not a significant archaeological discovery, it is still a pleasant surprise. Lu Fei spoke with such authority that even I had to be convinced. Unexpectedly, today we stumbled upon an air-raid shelter hidden in the basement of this white building.

Air raid shelter! We three were somewhat surprised, yet also a bit disappointed

"It's nothing, just that my butt got split in two. You all need to be careful, this staircase is extremely slippery," I hurriedly reminded them. I can suffer alone, but if they follow in my footsteps, then what use is there for me as a trailblazer

Lu Fei, who was already impatient, curiously leaned down to take a closer look, then slowly raised his head. Suddenly, he let out a loud "Ah!" Wang Yuqing and the chubby girl, not understanding the situation, also screamed in response. Fortunately, the soundproofing of the morgue was quite good; otherwise, it would have been a big problem if people outside had heard them.

Several tables and stools were haphazardly placed on the ground, already quite old. The walls still bore numerous images of Chairman Mao, further confirming Lu Fei's inference. After taking a round, there were indeed no significant discoveries; we had expected to find some historical artifacts, but the result was merely a few broken tables and damaged paintings, leaving us greatly disappointed

Knowing that they wouldn't fully believe me, I felt a bit awkward, so I changed the subject and said: "Well, the ventilation in this cave should be sufficient by now, can we go down?"

"Good for you, bookworm, how dare you! If it weren't for this useful thing, your life might not even be safe. Confess and you will be treated leniently; resist and you will face severe consequences. Honestly explain, why did you just lean your head down?" I gently tapped his head; if he hadn't just been bitten by a poisonous spider, I certainly wouldn't have been so gentle.

The situation is urgent, and we can only enlarge the wound on Luffy's ear for now. Fortunately, the cold blade is extremely sharp; with a gentle cut, the black blood from Luffy's ear begins to ooze out, but it flows very slowly. "What should we do? If I suck it out with my mouth, I might end up losing a person without saving him."

After confirming that there was no danger, I was the first to crawl into the hole. The walls of the hole were damp and covered with moss, making it very slippery, including the steps. Unexpectedly, my foot slipped, and "Oh no! Bang!" I fell clumsily, landing on my backside, completely disoriented and unaware of where I had fallen.

I certainly do not want them to see me in this disheveled state when they come down. I am trying to get up with my hands on the ground, but the floor is so slippery that I cannot manage it, and it seems like something is wriggling at my fingertips

At that moment, Lu Fei happened to climb down and, seeing my silly and dazed expression, smiled and asked, "What’s wrong, little trickster? Did you fall and damage your brain nerves, causing your face to twitch?"

You are unaware of this, as they do not understand. I can only patiently explain: "As practitioners of the Dao, there are four essential techniques we must learn: martial arts, observation, perception, and divination." As practitioners of the Dao, there are four essential techniques we must learn: martial arts, observation, perception, and divination. Martial arts: This naturally refers to the practice of self-defense. I cannot claim to become a peerless master, but one should at least possess the ability to protect oneself; Observation: This refers to the ability to gauge the wind and water, making corresponding judgments based on the terrain and topography. However, this is something that exists only if one believes in it; Perception: This involves utilizing supernatural senses to make judgments based on the negative energy emitted by different entities. Not everyone possesses this ability; some are born with it, which can be considered a form of superpower. However, through later training, one can also reach a certain level, though it requires at least ten years of cultivation; Lastly, divination: This encompasses the art of fortune-telling, including facial features, palmistry, and hexagrams. This is even more difficult, and I only have a superficial understanding. If one reaches a master level, they can foresee the future and avert disasters, though I humbly admit that I do not yet possess such abilities.

Luffy touched his ear, then looked at the spider on the ground, his gaze becoming somewhat dazed. "Why do I feel like you are all revolving around me?" Before he could finish his sentence, his body went limp.

"Little liar, are you alright?" A voice filled with urgency came from the cave entrance, belonging to Lu Fei

Isn't this superstition? I don't believe it! Wang Yuqing seems to find it hard to accept what I am saying

Luffy knows that I wouldn't joke about this, "Musheng, what do you mean by the negative energy? It wouldn't be ghosts, would it?"
