I am a full-level celestial master, you let me enter the strange talk of rules?

The middle-aged man took the hat as if it were a treasure, and the two of them started smoking in the toilet.

The Pope took the opportunity to start chatting with him, following the way Zhang Yangqing taught him. He started by talking nonsense and then casually asked about the topic.

The Pope suddenly spoke up: "I heard that a woman was hanged here a few days ago?"

The middle-aged man in the hat replied, "Yes, that woman found a rope from somewhere and hanged herself in the fairy tale area. I was reading a book at the time and was reading very enthusiastically when I heard a voice nearby. When I finished reading and went over, I found a woman hanged there."

The middle-aged man in the hat also said that he was not the first person to discover the matter. When he went there, the administrator was already there, along with a man and a woman. In the end, it was the administrator who put the girl down.

Pope: "Then have you noticed that there are other people who often chat with that girl?"

The middle-aged man in the hat said righteously: "Of course not, she was always alone, and I was right next to her, sometimes when she was looking for a book, I could see it clearly."

The Pope was puzzled. Was the mysterious man telling him false information?

Just when he was puzzled, the middle-aged man in the hat added an important clue: "Yes, sometimes she talks to herself, I don't know why."

This sentence completely opened up the Pope's thoughts, and many clues in his mind were immediately connected.

The Pope had experienced this in the previous levels. Only by coming into contact with special people can he see situations that others cannot see.

That is, in the mermaid level, you have to come into contact with a special fishmonger before you can see mermaids.

Under normal circumstances, the fish market is very normal.

Maybe the girl’s father was not lying, and the girl was indeed chatting with someone else, but only she could see this person.

Who could it be? The Pope's mind kept flashing through the images of some people. Was it the administrator, or someone else who was reading a book?
"Wait, hanging?"

The Pope suddenly understood, and before he finished his cigarette, he put out the butt and walked out.

I came to the librarian and continued writing on the paper: Excuse me, do you have any fairy tales about hanging?

If this question were asked somewhere else, some people would think the Pope was crazy.

But this is a world of ghost stories, and the administrator said: Yes, it really does exist.

He recommended the Pope to read a fairy tale called "The Hanging of the Princess".

There is a scene in which a princess hangs herself.

The Pope came to the fairy tale area and found the book "The Hanging of the Princess".

There were obvious signs of being flipped through the pages, and some even had traces of tears.

He read carefully:
The story tells of a lonely princess who is envied by her stepmother because she is too beautiful.

The stepmother planned to strangle the princess with a rope, but the rope was not strong enough and the princess was only unconscious for a short time.

After waking up, the princess found that she could see many "lovely friends".
Seeing this, the Pope knew how the mysterious man’s daughter died. He probably wanted to imitate the way the princess hanged herself to find her friend, so she tried hanging herself.

I guess I was successful the first few times. I got the degree right and was in a situation where I was not hanged but could see hallucinations. I also successfully found a good friend, who was the friend of her daughter in the library mentioned by the mysterious person.

The last time she tried, she probably failed and hanged herself here. It is hard to say whether it was her hallucinated friend who killed her or she hanged herself by mistake.

If the Pope wants to see the woman who is invisible under normal circumstances, all he needs to do is hang himself. Only by entering a similar state can he see the same situation.

This is indeed a crazy idea.

But the Pope was afraid of getting himself killed, so he found a rope and asked the white-haired monkey to stand by with a knife.

The Pope warned: "Remember, when I make this gesture, cut the rope immediately."

He demonstrated a "V" sign.

The little monkey was very smart and said he understood.

Monkeys are much better than other animals at using tools, and they are more flexible. To ensure that the little monkey could succeed, the Pope let it try to make sure it could cut.

When everything was ready, the Pope took a deep breath and put the rope on the beam.

Just as he kicked the stool away, he suddenly heard a "pop" sound behind him.

The book "The Hanging of the Princess" suddenly closed, and dark red liquid seeped out from the spine, as if it had triggered some strange event.

Slowly, the Pope's consciousness began to blur and breathing became difficult.

As his consciousness gradually faded, strange scenes appeared in his vision.

The bookshelves in the library began to twist and deform. Countless ropes hung from the ceiling, with a blurry figure hanging on each rope.

It was as if telling the Chosen One that many people had died here, and their deaths were the same as his.

The Pope even saw a 'father and daughter'.

Just when he was about to lose consciousness, the figure of a woman in a gorgeous princess dress gradually became clear.

She was suspended in the air, her skirt moving without wind, and a strange smile on her face.

The Pope forced himself to make a "V" sign.

The white-haired monkey immediately swung his knife to cut the rope, and the Pope fell heavily to the ground, but was supported by the monkey in time.

"Cough, cough, cough," the Pope gasped and looked up at the woman in front of him.

"I guess when you see me, you know why I'm here, right?"

The woman said elegantly: "You can say that I killed her, but it is her father who should die."

She slowly told the truth: the girl's father married a vicious stepmother, and the stepmother's son often abused the girl.

In order to maintain family harmony, the father always asked the girl to be tolerant.

The girl came to the library to seek comfort, and met her friend, the "princess" in the fairy tale, by hanging herself.

The last time, the girl couldn't bear it anymore and chose to end her life here.
"So I designed to make her father experience the same pain, but unfortunately he didn't know how he died."

What the princess said was enough to prove that the mysterious man should be dead, and what was flipping through the book was just his regret and persistence.

A cold light flashed in the princess' eyes. She stared at the Pope coldly and said, "Now, what do you want to choose?"

The Pope was in a dilemma. If he wanted to complete the mission reward, he had to burn the fairy tale book and destroy the princess' soul, but he felt guilty about doing so.

Of course, the Chosen One without conscience need not consider this.

If you don't want the second reward, but only the first reward, just tell the truth.

The Pope thought of a way to have the best of both worlds. As he became more and more awake, the strange scenes around him disappeared and he returned to the 'real world'.

He came to the desk and found that the mysterious man had already impatiently written on the paper: "Did you see anything?"

The Pope took a deep breath, picked up his pen and wrote down the whole story, adding at the end: "You killed your daughter. You are the murderer."

Half a second later, the Pope heard a "thump". Although he could not see the mysterious man, he could imagine that the other party must have knelt on the ground in regret, perhaps crying silently.

Since the mysterious man is the murderer, his death means the mission is accomplished. The mysterious man also tells the Pope where to find his treasure.

The Pope also received all the rewards, and at this time, Zhang Yangqing next door had already started digging up the statue of the raccoon god!
