Chapter 273 Crack
Chapter 273: Decryption

No one expected that Ou Zheng would be so tough.

Unexpectedly, his knife pierced into an arm smoothly, and then a large amount of liquid gushed out of the arm.

These liquids had a disgusting smell of blood, but they were not fresh blood. Black, white, red, yellow, purple, green, blue, gray, and other colors mixed together spurted out from the wound on his arm, instantly turning Ou Zheng into a "bloody" man.

However, before Ou Zheng could get excited, the arm suddenly twisted strangely and grabbed Ou Zheng's wrist in an anti-joint posture that no human could do!
Then... without seeing how it moved, it just gently pinched and Ou Zheng's right palm broke directly at the wrist!
Its wrist was crushed to pieces in an instant!

"what!!!!!"

The pain and terror brought Ou Zheng back to his senses. He fell to the ground and rolled out of the attack range of the arm.

When he crawled back to Bai Yanliang's feet, his right palm was completely gone.

"Save me! Save me!" Ou Zheng was sweating profusely and his face was so pale that he didn't look like a living person. He lay on the ground, pinching his right wrist with his left hand, looking at everyone pleadingly.

With this amount of bleeding, if the bleeding is not stopped urgently, he will easily fall into hemorrhagic shock and his life will be in danger.

"Give me your shoelaces." Bai Yanliang said.

Although they didn't understand what Bai Yanliang meant, after what happened in the exhibition hall just now, Bai Yanliang had initially established everyone's trust in him. Now as soon as he opened his mouth, Yang Xiaocan and Ruan Jie immediately took off their shoes and pulled out their shoelaces.

Xu Zhifei was wearing black leather shoes without shoelaces, and he stood there without moving.

But... these few are enough.

Bai Yanliang took the shoelaces and began to tie them for Ou Zheng neatly.

In this case where all the arteries in the hand are broken, the only option is to apply pressure bandage to block the blood flow.

Bai Yanliang used shoelaces to tightly tie up the artery in Ou Zheng's arm, and soon the amount of bleeding in his arm was greatly reduced.

Ou Zheng seemed to have become numb from the pain. When he saw that he was not bleeding much, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that his life was saved.

But Bai Yanliang suddenly said, "If you tie it for too long, your entire arm will die from lack of blood."

Ou Zheng's face turned pale and he was speechless.

His expression was filled with despair, and his lips kept trembling: "We... can't leave here at all..."

The despair in his voice was quickly conveyed to Yang Xiaocan and Ruan Jie, and Bai Yanliang did nothing to comfort them.

He squatted down, ignoring Ou Zheng, and stared at the unused shoelace in his hand.

Today's shoelaces...are really long enough.

Xu Zhifei was also in a trance, but he was staring at the arms on the wall.

She frowned and stared at the arm that was stabbed by Ou Zheng without blinking.

The arm was no longer bleeding and still looked dead, hanging on the wall.

But Xu Zhifei knew that as long as something entered the corridor and reached its attack range, it would immediately "come to life".

Ou Zheng has already given a good warning of how powerful and terrifying it is.

However... this arm looked very familiar to Xu Zhifei...

Not only this arm, but all the arms in this passage look familiar.

Exactly the same length, exact same size.

Just like... the arm of the woman in the painting. Xu Zhifei stared at the wall for a moment, then walked towards Bai Yanliang.

"I think it's the person in the painting."

Xu Zhifei looked at Bai Yanliang seriously and said.

Bai Yanliang looked at her in surprise. He thought Xu Zhifei had given up the idea, but he didn't expect that she would have the idea again at this stage.

The ghost in the painting...

Bai Yanliang had also considered this. After all, the blood that flowed out of the ghost hand after it was pierced by Ou Zheng was too strange.

Apart from the sickeningly strong smell of blood, it felt more like... paint.

However, even if we know that it is the ghost in the painting, or even if it is indeed the evil ghost in the painting, how will it help the current situation?

This is also the reason why Bai Yanliang is unwilling to think too much about it.

He always felt that the person who set up this dead end wanted to guide their thoughts towards the path of the ghost in the painting, so as to misjudge the current situation, or make them invest too much thinking in useless things, thus wasting time and energy.

Frankly speaking, Bai Yanliang believed that the ghost in the painting was just like Hu Chen's mission that time. The clues pointing to insects and diseases were just misleading, and the clues pointing to glass and mirrors were the real ones.

Xu Zhifei also felt that Bai Yanliang did not seem to agree with her idea, so she stood up, said no more, and stepped aside.

Bai Yanliang was still doing experiments. He had thrown a lot of small objects, but the arms' reactions were still as fast as ever.

But Xu Zhifei noticed that Bai Yanliang was muttering to himself: "Left, right, left, left, right..."

Having lost a hand, Ou Zheng became much more listless. He stopped making any noise and just slumped on the ground, staring at the ceiling with a blank expression on his face.

Yang Xiaocan lowered his head. Although he was only a little over one meter away from Ruan Jie, this short distance seemed as far away as the ends of the earth.

An atmosphere of decadence and despair spread everywhere. At this moment, only Bai Yanliang's low muttering and the sound of small objects being crushed by ghost hands echoed around.

Until... Bai Yanliang suddenly stood up.

"Okay, let's go."

No one reacted to his casual words at first, but when everyone understood what he said, they all showed incredible expressions.

Yang Xiaocan even smiled charmingly: "Brother Yanren, have you found a solution?"

Bai Yanliang ignored her and looked at Xu Zhifei.

"If you throw it to the left, you will reach out from the right wall. If you throw it to the right, you will reach out from the left wall. This is the only flaw and clue."

"Hiss...what do you mean?" Ou Zheng, pinching his wrist, looked at Bai Yanliang in confusion.

"In terms of distance, the things on the left are naturally grabbed by the left arm, but this corridor is just the opposite. The left arm extends on the right side and the right arm extends on the left side. This means that the areas covered by the ghost hands on the walls on both sides overlap a lot."

This time, they understood, but although they understood what Bai Yanliang said, did they understand what this had to do with being able to pass through here?

Bai Yanliang was too lazy to explain any more. He squatted down, took out a pair of unused shoelaces, pressed one end against the left wall and the other end against the right wall, and pulled it straight.

The three looked at Bai Yanliang in confusion. Was he measuring the width of the corridor?
Only Xu Zhifei understood Bai Yanliang's actions at this moment.

He is...looking for the middle point of this corridor.
