"There are a number of mechanisms in the corridor. If you do not operate according to the hexagrams, you will be stuck here for eternity..."
"You will be dealt with separately once your mind has been completely destroyed."
Two more lines at the bottom:
"Qian three lines, Xun broken below, Kan full middle, and Gen face-down bowl."
"Hexagram 33, retiring, outer Qian, and inner Gen. Those who receive this hexagram should retire and retreat."
"Every hall... Tiles... Hexagrams..."
"The passage... The holly branches... Qian as one... Gen as four..."
The rest is unclear.

Main character's note
A dilapidated bulletin board.
A few lines of scribbles can be seen on it.
"Help! What is this place..."
"Shen Yong was right, the Labyrinth Pavilion is much simpler compared to this place..."
"This damned place... Why does it all look the same? I can't find a way out at all..."
"The helpers here don't even know me, and chase me when they see me..."
"Where is this place!? Shen Yong, come save me!"
