Weird collapse, chasing husband crematorium

After saying that, Li Mo turned off his phone, and put one of his exposed eyeballs against the window, with his neck above the window, like a hanged man, staring strangely at the fleeting light in Li Mo's hand.

The window screen obscured the person's face, leaving only a vague outline.

Hanging upside down... not attached to anything, floating in the air?

Li Mo noticed that his hands hung naturally, like a drowned corpse, his hands were powerless and he was not holding anything.

It's like a painting hanging on the wall, except that the wall becomes something else.

At present, it seems that the mural ghost requires a living person to trigger two rules at the same time: eye contact + touch.

Li Mo hoped it wasn't air, otherwise he would be in contact with the mural ghost all the time, and it was very likely that he would be doomed if he just looked at it.

"Moon..."

"Well, it didn't leave, but climbed onto the roof... It was really persistent, racking its brains to find another way into the wing."

"No, they have no brains."

Li Mo criticized expressionlessly, looking around. There were only windows and doors in the house for entry and exit.

The vent on the stove is actually sealed.

In the eyes of ghosts, the windows of the wing rooms are like walls, not passages.

The door is the esophagus, and they can also enter the ghost's stomach through the esophagus and then start killing.

The prerequisite is that someone has to take the initiative to open their esophagus.

Both the ghost stomach and the human head ghost are in a downtime state. The ghost stomach cannot actively open the esophagus, so the esophagus can only be opened manually.

In the last timeline, everyone in the compartment was wiped out because they didn't take this into consideration. The living person disguised as the ghost in the mural opened the compartment, the esophagus was open, and the old cat entered the compartment unhindered.

Perhaps before the old cat lady could make any move, the ghost mural's killing pattern was triggered by the contact and eye contact of several people.

The old cat lady is just here to pick up a few heads and turn the derivatives into her own kind.

Li Mo pondered for a moment. Judging from the currently known information, there is a great chance of survival if he doesn't open the door.

Ghosts can't come in, and if they don't go out, the rules won't be triggered.

Even though Li Mo turned on the lights to attract their attention, they showed no signs of breaking in.

A very pure ghost, who doesn't think.

If it had the mind of a living person, this door would not be able to stop it at all.

But they are just a group of beings without intelligence, acting according to their own laws, and cannot think of such a method.

The only attempt might be to knock on the door and wait for the person inside to respond, which is not threatening at all.

"Don't act rashly. If you randomly fire your gun and destroy the wing, you might upset the balance of the rules. This might be the outcome that the demon outside wants to see."

"A ghost thing that likes to scare people."

Li Mo stared calmly at the forehead of the ghost invading the mural.

There was no emotion in my heart, even a little bored.

"Regularity and balance?" Changle learned a lot of new words from Li Mo, which he had never heard of before.

"You don't need to know this. Just do as I say. I don't mind taking you alive. I told you when we went up the mountain that following me was a wise choice. However, it was also the most reckless choice. You shouldn't have come up here."

Changle lowered his head, unable to refute for a moment.

Judging from the current situation, Mingyue is right. So many talented people have fallen.

Only the jade pendant was left to protect him, and he and two assassins managed to survive under the leadership of Mingyue.

"Can we... survive tonight by maintaining the status quo?" Changle asked cautiously.

"No, there's another demon behind us. It's the old cat lady we met when we went up the mountain. Don't look at it. Act according to the situation."

Changle stared at Mingyue with eyes wide open in disbelief. He pursed his lips, then finally opened his mouth and asked in confusion, "Mingyue, how did you know that the so-called cat lady would come later?"

"..."

Li Mo stopped where he was, weighing the pros and cons of telling the truth.

It was impossible for him to tell Changle about the restart, because Changle was suspected of being contaminated by an unknown strange thing, and there was no need to tell his trump card to a stranger he met by chance.

What's more, this passerby might be a monster.

He would never believe the facts told by the person involved, even if Changle was a princess of the current dynasty.

Making up a lie is the most practical way. With Li Mo's current thinking, it is very easy to deceive her.

But not necessary.

He didn't even want to explain. There was no need to negotiate too much with a woman who seemed weird. He didn't owe her anything.

The long silence made the atmosphere in the room change suddenly, a little bit subtle, the air seemed to be frozen, and there was no sound in the room.

"Meow……"

Followed by a shrill and sharp cat cry.

The good news and bad news came suddenly, breaking the deadlock, and Li Mo and Changle immediately tensed up.

"Meow……"

There was another meow, and a new silhouette appeared outside the door.

The ghost in the mural hanging upside down outside the window fell to the ground with a thud, stood up stiffly and mechanically, and walked to the door of the wing room.

At this time, two ghosts gathered at the door of the wing room.

"What should we do now?" Changle asked anxiously.

In her opinion, the assassins were afraid to open the door due to the etiquette they followed during their lifetime. However, Old Lady Cat didn't care about that. The warriors who hadn't caught up with Mingyue's team had been completely wiped out.

Most of the warriors in the martial arts world are unruly and have no taboos. If Old Lady Cat came from the common people or the martial arts world, she might really open the door.

Mingyue reminded them countless times that they must never let the demons enter the side rooms.

Changle is not stupid. Once the demon enters the room, something strange will definitely happen that he is not aware of. Then the two of them will no longer be safe, and the room will no longer be a shelter.

Thinking of this, Changle tightened his grip on the strange pistol in his hand and put Mingyue's foresight aside.

"The moment the door is destroyed, shoot immediately. I'll handle the rest. Just don't die. The premise is that the door is destroyed. Do not shoot without authorization."

Li Mo clenched his left hand and walked straight to the old lady cat and the ghost in the mural, who were only separated by a fragile wooden door.

There are two silhouettes outside the door. One is tall, the ghost in the mural is in his prime; the other is hunchbacked, the old cat lady.

The hunched figure opened his jaw several times, trying to make a sound, but was unable to shout due to some strange force.

Changle didn't notice that Mingyue said destroy, not open.

Because Li Mo is very clear about the logic of Weird's behavior, when Weird faces another Weird force, there will be lags and bugs similar to a program, and it takes a certain amount of time to judge.

When many rules are intertwined and overlapped, there will definitely be rules with lower priority that will be suppressed first.

The wing room is a relatively complete ghost. Before being eaten by the human-head ghost, there are four ghosts in total, including the rotten blood, the stove, the portrait, and itself.

However, the wing itself should not be counted, it is a dividing line.

At this moment, the Ghost Stomach Room and the Human Head Ghost fell silent at the same time, but the remaining rules were definitely not something that could be easily broken by incomplete and single ghosts like the mural ghost and the old cat lady.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The frequent knocking on the door like a violent storm is the best proof. The old cat has also joined the knocking crowd, and together with the mural ghost, she tirelessly knocks on the brand new door.

Li Mo narrowed his eyes slightly, glanced sideways at the silent human-headed ghost...

The dead man invaded by the portrait did not knock on the door because of his habit in life, but because of some rules of the wing room, he could only enter by knocking on the door.

"Mingyue, Mingyue?"

"explain."

"What if the door gets broken down?"

Changle raised a very realistic question from the perspective of a mortal.

If it were before, Li Mo might have teased jokingly: "If this strange door can be broken by physical means, I will twist my head off and give it to you."

But Li Mo is not in the mood now, and his emotional center has almost stopped functioning.

"The door won't be broken down."

"Well...I see."

Changle looked at the wobbly wooden door with great uneasiness. From a common sense point of view, if the demon outside kept knocking on the door, the ordinary wooden door would definitely be destroyed.

But for now, Changle could only comfort herself that Mingyue was right.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The knocking continued, and the wooden door swayed like a dead leaf in the wind, as if the ghost outside was about to overturn the door and force its way in at any second.

Li Mo didn't move. If the door was destroyed, he would be the first to bear the brunt.

But the door of the wing room is the esophagus of the ghost stomach and cannot be opened by physical force; certain conditions must be met to open this door.

For example: living people.

Living people can freely enter and exit the ghost's stomach, and the esophagus can be opened with just a gentle push.

After all, one of the rules of a ghost stomach is to digest the people inside.

This is easy to understand.

but……

"Living people can enter the ghost stomach without restrictions, so what conditions do ghosts need to meet in order to enter the ghost stomach?"

"How loud are the knocks? How often?"

"Since the mural ghost and the old cat lady haven't given up and keep trying, this means there is indeed another condition besides a living person opening the door that can allow the ghost to enter this room."

Li Mo whispered softly, but the ghost in the mural outside the door still did not respond, which meant that sound would not be a condition for being allowed to enter.

Li Mo's intuition told him that he needed to find this condition so as to avoid the risk of being backstabbed at night to the greatest extent possible.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

"..."

Suddenly, the knocking stopped, and the old lady cat and the ghost mural began to wander around the room with the same behavior logic as before, as if waiting for something.

"it's over?"

"and many more……"

Li Mo turned his head again to glance at the silent human-headed ghost, and the empty stove and portrait behind him.

A bold guess suddenly emerged in my mind.

It is currently known that the ghosts outside know that there are living people inside and want to come in and kill them.

"They knew I was here, but suddenly stopped trying to get in."

"It's not because they gave up, but because they were deemed inaccessible and expelled. This shows that there is a pattern of confrontation."

"The ghosts outside wanted to come in, but the silent ghost stomach wouldn't let them. After a period of resistance, the mural ghost and the old cat lady stopped trying to enter. Since the wing rooms don't have the shielding ability of the auditorium, they will linger near the wing rooms."

"wait……"

"They're waiting for more ghosts. Ghosts don't need to meet any specific conditions to enter. They just need a sufficient number of ghosts to break the maximum threshold of their gastroesophageal system and force their way in."

"Perhaps this is the truth. Everything makes sense now."

"But how can I prove this?"

Make bold guesses and verify them carefully. Now we come to the verification stage.

In order to verify the strange rules, one may die if he is not careful, but Li Mo still has two chances to restart. If he overuses the strange power, he will only have one chance to restart.

Restart should not be used casually unless there is some very critical information that requires your life to test.

"The combined knocks from the ghost mural and the old cat lady weren't very strong. The door to the wing room seemed to be able to withstand more."
