Weird collapse, chasing husband crematorium

He couldn't remind Changle now, at least the wing room currently determined that Changle and the assassins were alive.

If Changle is really dead, then his own pointing it out will undoubtedly become a prerequisite for triggering the law.

Regardless of whether Changle is alive or not, Li Mo cannot reveal the truth tonight, especially not talk about the historical background.

"By the way, I've been wanting to ask since I came in. What is the origin of this head? Why did it appear in your room, Mingyue?"

Changle asked curiously.

Li Mo turned around and spoke seriously:

"Don't touch that head. It's holding the ghost stomach back. As long as it's not interfered with by the demons, we have the capital to survive."

"Also, do not light any lights or fires, but stay in the wing room and prevent the demon from entering the room at all costs."

"The demon may very well transform into someone you are familiar with, or some dead creature that looks alive."

"We can't even trust our own memories. We can only use logic to determine whether the other party is alive."

Li Mo's expression was solemn. Changle felt a little surprised, then nodded sincerely.

This was a rare occasion for Mingyue to give her so many instructions. When they went up the mountain, Mingyue didn't explain at all. He just asked everyone to follow him and refused to tell her the reason.

Now thinking about it, it doesn't seem to be a problem. After all, many people have failed on the road, and only a few are still alive.

There is no point in saying more than you believe.

Only by experiencing it yourself can you understand the weight of Mingyue’s words.

However, belief does not mean blind obedience. Changle asked: "What is the legal principle of reasoning logic?"

Li Mo was stunned for a moment and gave an example: "If the emperor of the dynasty, that is, your father, appeared here, would you open the door?"

Changle immediately replied, "Of course not. How could my father personally ascend Mount Taixu? He's so busy with affairs that he has no free time. This is absolutely impossible."

Li Mo nodded and asked, "What if the other me is outside the door and tells you that I'm a demon inside the house and asks you to open the door and let him in so that I can help you kill me, will you open the door?"

"This..." Changle was stunned. She tried to put herself in that scene.

There was a rapid knock on the door, and Mingyue outside shouted loudly: "Open the door quickly! The Mingyue beside you is a demon in disguise! There is something wrong with this door, I can't open it! If you don't open the door, the demon will kill you!"

Faced with this situation, how should I choose?

Open the door. The bright moon outside might be a demon in disguise. Once you let him in, both the real Li Mo and you will surely die.

If I don't open the door, and the bright moon outside is real, I will definitely die if I stay in the room.

"I believe you who are staying in the house right now!" Changle made his own decision and stated his position.

But this answer disappointed Li Mo.

Changle didn't believe in him, but believed in her own memory.

"You are wrong. You should try to kill me by any means necessary. If I were the real Mingyue, I would never attack you. I would just keep dodging on the spot because I know you can't kill me at all."

"The difference in strength between us is as vast as heaven and earth. Even if I stand still and let you hit me, you won't be able to kill me. When you're tired, I'll naturally explain slowly and give you the reason why there are demons outside."

"If I am a fake Mingyue, the weapon in your hand can delay me for a while, and you can test the logic of my behavior. If I make any move to kill you, it won't be too late for you to open the door."

"Instead of making a rash decision like you just did, you should resolutely trust me."

"..." Changle lowered his head, looking a little aggrieved.

Neither flattery nor words of affirmation could gain Mingyue's approval.

Having been a snake in the palace for too long, Changle felt for the first time that there were people in the world who were so special. After all, everyone only wanted to hear what they wanted to hear, and few people could sincerely accept opinions that were unfavorable to them, even if they were correct.

Not everyone has the courage to face their own flaws and ugliness.

Changle raised his head and looked at Li Mo with increasing curiosity. A person like him would definitely be kept secret and suppressed in the officialdom.

But in the whole human world, it is like a fish swimming upstream. In the torrent of the general trend, it abandons all its shortcomings and swims as fast as possible.

When encountering the old cat lady while going up the mountain, Mingyue decisively gouged out her eyeballs.

He is not only cruel to his enemies, but even crueler to himself.

"Whether we can survive depends on whether we can hold this place tonight."

Li Mo turned around and stared seriously at the figure approaching outside the door. Gui Ya's left hand kept shaking.

The figure walked very slowly, with unsteady steps, like a child taking his first steps, and staggered towards the gate.

Changle: "Mingyue, what is this ghost stomach you just mentioned?"

Li Mo: "It's this wing room. Staying here for a long time will make the people inside it disappear."

Changle: "Won't we be digested then?"

Li Mo: "That head restrained the ghost stomach and protected us."

Changle: "The wing room... and him outside, Mingyue, tell me, what kind of existence are you? The definition of a demon is too narrow. The book only has a few: possessed by mountain spirits and wild monsters, cultivation gone astray and losing one's true self, and natural-born demons."

Changle wanted to know the answer.

That human head was undoubtedly one of the demons, but Mingyue seemed to know it inside and out, and even used the demon's power to fight against it.

No, these things are not even living things, how can they be called monsters?

In all the records, demons are clearly living creatures. How can this human head and the ghost stomach chamber look like a living creature at all?

"Many of the things we encounter now are far beyond the definition of demons. I want to know, Mingyue, what kind of existence are you and them?"

"..."

Li Mo glanced sideways with a cold gaze. The piercing white moonlight almost merged with his sight, and the atmosphere of dead silence was exactly the same.

What kind of existence...

Sometimes, Li Mo himself couldn't help but wonder what weirdness meant to this world.

But this kind of thinking seems to have no meaning in reality.

Just as death is the inevitable outcome that every life must accept, pollution is also the unstoppable increase in entropy during the continuation of life.

Li Mo looked at Changle with a cold tone, his expression was flat, without any euphemisms.

"An existence you absolutely don't want to know about, and even if you do, you will only feel despair."

After dying twice, he has lost almost all his emotions and gradually becomes unable to understand human curiosity, desire, and fear.

Only rational consciousness controlled him, allowing Li Mo to complete something with a strong sense of purpose.

Weird cannot be killed.

Once death is determined, it will restart immediately.

Tireless and invincible.

The three original laws make weirdness invincible.

There is another more important and desperate rule: as time goes by, the degree of pollution of the weirdness itself will increase, turning it into a more terrifying and twisted existence.

Once the pollution level exceeds the threshold of the body's limit, it will spread.

Pollution spreads regardless of time, space, dimension, or form of existence.

Cannot be killed, can not escape, this is called weird existence.

Triggering death, superimposed rules, erasing consciousness, chopping off heads, unavoidable assimilation...

Li Mo would not tell Changle, there was no need.

She just needs to know that these things make people desperate enough.

If the weirdness of this world spreads, the people who die will not just be the climbers.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The black shadow was only separated from Li Mo by a door. It knocked on the door politely, like a gentleman, giving Li Mo enough face.

But there is no such thing as etiquette for weird things; their behavior must follow some unnoticed rules.

It is largely derived from behavioral habits during one’s lifetime.

What does knocking on the door mean?

"Changle, do your assassins have the habit of knocking on doors?" Li Mo asked, while quickly moving to Changle's side.

Changle gripped the strange pistol tightly and looked at it curiously.

Seeing Mingyue approaching him and whispering a question, Changle also responded softly, "This is the custom of all the assassins in the palace. They knock on the door before entering and wait for the owner's permission before entering. If there is no permission, you are not allowed to trespass."

Hearing this, Li Mo nodded and reminded: "Speak softly, because we can't be sure whether what we say will be taken as consent by the assassins outside."

Li Mo returned to his seat and continued to observe the movements of the shadow outside the door.

He repeated the same action, knocking on the doors and windows over and over again, making crisp knocking sounds.

After a while, the knocking stopped and the dark figure outside the door walked to the window.

"If it dares to come in, just shoot it. Don't hesitate."

Li Mo reminded Changle, and he walked to the window, ready to use the Nether Fire bullets of the strange pistol to temporarily get rid of the ghost outside.

You can't kill it, just cripple it.

The underworld fire will burn continuously, causing continuous damage similar to that in the game.

The Weird has the instinct to recover, and will slowly recover when injured. The Nether Fire suppresses its recovery power and continuously deducts its blood.

When the recovery speed and the blood loss speed reach a balance, the weirdness can be effectively put in a weakened state.

It sounds simple, but it is actually a bit difficult to do, because it takes a little bit of trial and error to defeat the weirdness.

Excessively powerful forces will be offset by multiple restarts, and what finally falls on the weird is just a painless attack.

The only way to control the strange injury is through continuous attempts for a long time.

In the process of entanglement, it is easy to trigger the law, and if you come into contact with it, you will inevitably be contaminated.

Li Mo had already prepared himself mentally for this. As long as the pollution did not completely erode his consciousness, he could rely on the power of human law to dispel the pollution that remained in his mind.

only……

It seems that not all pollution can be dispelled. At least he has not found a way to deal with Guiya's left hand, so he can only let this weird thing stay on his body.

I can't return to the most complete human posture, probably because of this left hand.

Li Mo stared intently at the dark shadow outside the window.

Just in case, he planned to use only Guiya's left hand to restrain it.

At least the weird left hand won't be so easily contaminated by patterns.

The black shadow stopped at the window for a moment, seemingly completely unaware that this was a passage into the wing, and continued to wander around the wing.

Chapter 19: Regular confrontation, the limit of four ghosts

"Tap...tap...tap..."

The sound became smaller and smaller, the black shadow was getting farther and farther away from the door lintel and windows, and the footsteps were very light.

"Have they left?" Changle asked. "I can't hear any footsteps anymore. Should we be safe now?"

"Safety?"

Li Mo glanced at him, and Changle subconsciously retreated. When their eyes met, he clenched his fists. This was the body's instinctive reaction when facing an enemy.

Changle felt that Mingyue's gaze was... very strange, especially her cloudy and dark pupils, just like the dead people recorded in the book, only the pupils of the dead would be dilated and blurred.

Li Mo took out his cell phone and quickly glanced at the time.

If nothing unexpected happens, no ghost will be able to enter the compartment before half past ten.

After all, in the last timeline, he only found two ghosts, a ghost that invaded the living in the murals, and an old cat lady who assimilated everyone.

Li Mo noticed Chang Le's small behavior and softened his tone: "From the moment you decide to go up the mountain, safety will disappear."

"Any valuable gift must come with a price."

"Not just you, but me as well."

"Since you wish to meet the immortal and receive his blessings, you must endure the possibility of being contaminated by evil spirits and slaughtered by demons."

"We have never been safe, not in the past, not now, and not in the future, because once you have seen these, you are doomed to be entangled by them, and you can never escape."
