Psychological Mask [Danmei Suspense]

Bai Yunming felt dizzy when he woke up. He tried to open his eyes but couldn't see anything. The surroundings were pitch black and he couldn't see his fingers.

The invisible feeling made him feel flustered. Years of medical practice made him take a few deep breaths naturally, trying to control his uneasy emotions.After a few deep breaths, a damp and rotten smell came from his nose. The anxiety did not dissipate, but his body did not feel unwell, which made him feel a little relieved.

Thinking of Lin Yi's sentence before he fell into a coma: "Why don't you play a game!" When he spoke, his pupils lit up, and his expression was weird and excited.game?what game?That lunatic is no longer a normal person.But how many normal patients have you faced as a psychiatrist in these years?The most ridiculous thing is that in the end, I actually fell in love with the most terrifying lunatic.

Bai Yunming sighed self-deprecatingly, and withdrew his thoughts. He didn't want to continue sitting on a cold stone in this unknown place and pondering about life. Not being able to see anything made him very uneasy.

He cleared his throat and shouted loudly: "Lin Yi! Come out, let's talk!" Echoes came from all around, obviously this is an empty and confined space.

"Lin Yi! That's enough, turn on the light!" There was still an empty echo, Bai Yunming was a little anxious, obviously this was not an ordinary room, with damp and decaying air, empty echo, and cold stones, he tried his best to keep calm analyzing.It felt like being in a basement or something.

Lin Yi locked him in the basement, it was very possible, he didn't want to sit still, so he just got up and fumbled around, maybe he could find the light switch.Bai Yunming swiped his hands around his body, and happened to touch a cylindrical object. He took it in his hand and touched it. He was familiar with the touch. This should be the LED flashlight he put in the car, and he touched the back of the flashlight. When the rubber switch is pressed, a white light appears.

I closed my eyes to adjust to the sudden light, and when I opened my eyes again, the surrounding environment appeared in front of my eyes.But before he had time to observe the surroundings carefully, he only heard a "di" sound, and Xunsheng saw that he was wearing a watch on his left wrist, and the blue electronic number 5 was displayed on the LCD screen on the surface.

He looked at the watch with a flashlight. The watch had no buttons other than the screen, and the strap was made of iron, which was firmly fixed on his wrist and could not be removed.

"What does 5 mean?" Bai Yunming said to himself, unable to figure out why, but at this moment he also noticed that he was wearing a brand-new mountaineering suit of fairly good quality, probably Lin Yi put it on for him.

Let's take a look at the surroundings first. He raised his flashlight and scanned around, and found that this is not a basement, but a cave. The walls are made of natural rock, and the walls are slightly reflective, which looks very damp.

How did Lin Yi get him into the cave?Bai Yunming was annoyed.

The cave is very narrow, about three steps square, the highest point is about two meters, and the white clouds can hit the top of the head in the short place.There are no windows around, only a closed stone door, which is very eye-catching because the red Chinese character "five" is written on the door.

Bai Yunming approached the stone door and pushed it, but remained motionless.The flashlight shone around Shimen, and found that there was an instrument hanging beside Shimen. It was the same style as the access control at the entrance of the 24-hour self-service bank, with a groove for swiping cards.

"This looks like a door-opening machine," Bai Yunming said, looking around, "Where is the door card?"

He raised his flashlight and searched around carefully, there was nothing around the door, and then swept behind him, a round cushion in the corner caught his attention.I walked over and bent down to look at the cushion carefully, and found that it was a bodhisattva ball commonly used for meditation in temples.

He stretched out his hand to touch it, and found that the bodhisattva was not dirty. He picked it up from the ground, and only heard a "clang" sound, and something fell to the ground.Bai Yunming was startled, and hurriedly lowered his head to look at his feet, and found a strangely curved iron piece on the ground.

I picked it up and flipped through it for a long time, but I didn't know what it was, so I put it in my clothes pocket.When I reached into the pocket of my clothes, I realized that there was something in my pocket.I took it out and saw that it was a blue card with the same size and shape as a bank card. There was only a number "6" written on the card and a "???" pattern printed on the back.

It was a number again, Bai Yunming felt his head was getting bigger, "Five" was written on the wall, "5" was written on the watch, and he took out a card with "6" written on it.Lin Yi!What the hell are you playing!Bai Yunming kept cursing in his heart.

While greeting the eighteenth generation of Lin Yi's ancestors in his heart, he continued to explore in the dark with a flashlight helplessly. Since Lin Yi locked him here and left him some strange clues, then he probably didn't want to trap him to death it's here.

Apart from the Bodhisattva in his hand, there is nothing else around, and there is nothing special about the bumpy rock walls on the wall.Then he looked to the ground, and the stone he had just laid on caught his attention.The floor of the entire room is paved with ordinary bluestone bricks, but the few stone bricks he just lay on are different, with some shallow patterns engraved on them.

He approached the stone brick and knelt down, watching carefully with a flashlight.I saw that the patterned stone bricks were the size of four ordinary stone bricks, with a simple lotus pattern engraved on it, six petals surrounded a circle, and each petal was written with a pattern that seemed to be a word, a total of six The characters are: "??,?,????,?,?,???", and "???" This shape resembles a Sanskrit substitute, which actually means "Buddha").

Bai Yunming recalled that he had seen this pattern when he and Lin Yi visited Tanzhe Temple in Beijing. At that time, Lin Yi had explained to him that this pattern was the six-character mantra of Buddhism written in Sanskrit on the lotus petals. Greatly Merciful and Greatly Compassionate Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva mantra, read "Om Mani Padme Hum".

Although I don't know any Sanskrit, one of the characters "???" has the same pattern on the back of the card with the number 6 in my hand.Bai Yunming took out the card from his pocket again and compared it, it was indeed the same word.Then the meaning of this card is obvious. The number 6 represents the last word in the six-character mantra.That is to say, among the petals on the left and right sides of the last character, one character represents 5 and the other character represents 1.

Bai Yunming stared at the six characters for a long time. He really couldn't remember which character in the pattern he saw with Lin Yi was the beginning, but he just felt weird looking at these characters, and he didn't know what was wrong. .

His eyes glanced at the bodhisattva he threw aside. This bodhisattva is used for meditation, and there is also a lotus pattern on it, with the word "??" written in the middle, which is the same as one of the petals on the ground. He thought for a while, Throw the bodhisattva in the center of the lotus pattern circle on the ground, sit cross-legged on it, take a deep breath, and want to calm down and think.

In his mind, he recalled the scene of visiting Tanzhe Temple with Lin Yi.

The sky was very clear that day, and the two of them climbed up the mountain along the mountain road. There was little smoke in the temple, surrounded by ancient pines, and the clear and melodious ringing of bells could be heard from the temple from time to time. Lin Yi who came to his side smiled shyly at him as always, the warmth seemed to melt his heart.

Bai Yunming raised his SLR camera and chased after Lin Yi for various shots, trying to record his every expression and movement. Lin Yi felt uncomfortable being photographed, and hurriedly ran to the back of the temple.Bai Yunming looked at the embarrassed Lin Yi and laughed, stood in the front yard and took a few pictures of the scenery, then walked to the back.

Stepping through the door opening in the backyard, I saw a thick ancient pine that was short in height but had luxuriant branches and leaves. It was covered with red ribbons for wishing. When the breeze blew, the ribbons fluttered in the wind. Lin Yi stood under the ancient pine and looked up slightly. Head looking at the word written on the ribbon.

Bai Yunming was stunned by this beautiful picture, Lin Yi was so light and dusty that he seemed to blend in with the scenery in this temple, as if he belonged here, the beautiful side face was pierced by a beam of sunlight from the branches and leaves irradiated.Bai Yunming forgot to press the shutter button on the camera in his hand. At that time, he suddenly thought of the verses in "Luo Shen Fu": Light as a frightening bird, graceful as a swimming dragon, Rongyao Qiuju, Huamao Chunsong.

In an instant, Bai Yunming finally understood that Lin Yi was the Luoshen in his heart.

The "Luo God" pointed to the six-character mantra pattern in the temple and explained to Bai Yunming: "Om: it can eliminate the suffering of life and death in the heavenly world; Mi: can eliminate the suffering of hunger and thirst of hungry ghosts; HUM: can eliminate the suffering of cold, heat and hell.”

"These six words can eliminate so much suffering, but which word can you use to eliminate your suffering?" Bai Yunming fondled Lin Yi's hair.

Lin Yi smiled slightly and said, "You."

Thinking of this, Bai Yunming opened some wet eyes, feeling a little out of control, unable to continue thinking, that Lin Yi, who was as clean as otherworldly fireworks, was not Luoshen at all, but a devil, and he could not help the devil destroy another innocent him.

Looking down at the Sanskrit texts around him carefully, the patterns Lin Yi pointed to in his mind seemed to be somewhat different from this one. Bai Yunming's eyes suddenly became clear, no wonder he felt something was wrong, the order of these words was obviously wrong!

He pushed the bodhisattva away, carefully groped on the six petals, and finally let him find that five of the petals had a deep seam of about two centimeters on the edge, because of the relationship between the patterns, he couldn't find it unless he touched it carefully.

He took out the strangely shaped piece of iron from his pocket, and inserted it into the gap. It just fit. It felt like it was stuck somewhere after it went in. He pulled it up hard, and the petals loosened a little, but because it was too Without pulling it up, he exerted all his strength again, and finally took the petal out of the ground.In this way, Bai Yunming took out all five petals engraved with "????????", only the one representing 6 had no seam and could not be taken out.

"What's the order of these five?" Although he knew that the order was wrong, he still couldn't figure out what the correct pattern would look like. "I still need a little hint." Bai Yunming took out a card with 6 and put it on the word "???" On the petals, I suddenly slapped my head, I have so many pockets on my body, why don't I go through them more.

He quickly rummaged through his body, and sure enough, he found two more cards in the mountaineering suit, with "1" and "4" written on them, and the corresponding Sanskrit characters on the back. Now Bai Yunming can finally figure out the meaning of the six-character mantra. In order, according to the memory in my mind, the first character should be counterclockwise, that is, to the right of 1, and the fourth character should be to the left of 6, so there are still 4 characters left. If you arrange and combine If you do it, it will take up to six times. Each petal is put down and taken out. Under such a laborious situation, it is estimated that the hands will be worn out.Thinking about the reminder again, Bai Yunming looked at the word "??" on the bodhisattva. Lin Yi said that the third word is to eliminate the suffering of life, old age, sickness and death in the world. This thing is for people to meditate, so this word is likely to be the first 6 characters, that is, directly opposite to 3.

Bai Yunming put ?, ?, and ?? in the corresponding positions according to the order he wanted. Finally, ? and ???? were left. He tried it in turn, and the correct order should be: "???? ????????", when he put all the characters in the right position, he suddenly heard a "pop", and the circular pattern in the middle suddenly loosened and jumped up a little.He pried up the stone with a piece of iron, and looked inside with a flashlight, and found three cards and a note inside.

Bai Yunming picked up the card, which was the same style as the three cards in his hand, with 2, 3, and 5 on them, but there was no Sanskrit on the back. Now Bai Yunming has six magnetic cards from 1 to 6 in his hand.

Looking at the note carefully with a flashlight, there is a passage like this written on it:

【数字根】是将一个整数的各个位数横向相加，若加完后的值大于10的话，则继续将各位数进行横向相加直到其值小于十为止。如：481的数字根是4+8+1=13，继续用1+3=4，那么481的数字根就是4。打开此门，请用三张门卡组成数字根。

"Digital root? Lin Yi, you bastard! You really play escape room with me!" Bai Yunming cursed loudly.

At this time, the light of the flashlight has become a little weak. It seems that the battery can't last long. No matter what tricks Lin Yi is playing, he has to wait until the door is opened to go out. Otherwise, when the battery is exhausted, he will fall into absolute darkness again. .

He took six cards and walked to the access control area, saw the word "five" on the door, and finally figured out that it was necessary to find three cards with the number root of 5, the number from 1-6, and which three words had the number root Is it 5?He silently calculated in his heart.

Hey... Mathematics must have been taught by the physical education teacher. I took six cards and swung them around. After counting with my fingers for a long time, I finally found out that 356=3+5+6=1+4=5.Oh yeah!Bai Yunming wiped off his sweat, finally the math has not been fully returned to the physical education teacher.

Picking up the three cards and swiping them on the access control respectively, the Shimen immediately had the sound of a spring popping out, and then the door was slightly loose, Bai Yunming went to push the Shimen again, and the door was easily pushed open.

The author has something to say:

The beginning of this chapter is the second part "Escape", and the whole part is a story about solving puzzles and escaping.

There are a lot of Sanskrit in this chapter, and there will be garbled characters when reading it on a mobile phone, sorry.

In fact, it is the six-character mantra of Buddhism, just six characters. It is not easy to use a computer to type these six Sanskrit characters, ha ha.
