Weird collapse, chasing husband crematorium

Shigure Kirara: "Oh, okay, I was scared to death."

"What on earth just happened? Why did I hear so many cats meowing and the sound of something falling from the sky?"

Li Mo: "Let's temporarily name that ghost the Cat Lady, or the Cat-Faced Granny. You can call her anything you want. The pattern of her killing is eye contact. The meowing is a sign, marking her progress in killing people."

"Once you make eye contact with it, your body will be assimilated into a ghost like it, and your consciousness will gradually dissipate."

Saori Tsuruyu: "It's a ghost that really catches you off guard. If you don't know the pattern, a normal person's reaction would usually be to observe, but after just one look, it will become the same ghost... It's scary."

"But, brother, I have a question. Why did it stop attacking us? Oni attacks are generally not easily interrupted, so why did it give up?"

Li Mo: "Because its targets are not only humans, but also ghosts. It can assimilate other ghosts into itself."

Li Mo said calmly that this key information was obtained at the cost of his life.

Before his last death, Li Mo plunged a saber into his heart and pushed open the door of the wing room before dying.

Inside were five short dark figures, all of whom had undoubtedly been assimilated.

Let’s not talk about whether the person on the mountain is a human-skin ghost. Even if not, there is at least a mural ghost, which is definitely a real ghost.

A dead man is replaced by a mural ghost invasion.

But after Li Mo entered the wing room, he did not find the ghost on the mural.

In other words, the mural ghost was assimilated.

That's why Li Mo dared to conclude that the old lady cat's targets of attack were not only humans, but also ghosts.

After listening to this, Saori Tsuruyu suddenly realized, "That's why my brother borrowed the captain's cell phone and used the light to illuminate the ghosts in the town behind him, so that the old cat lady would divert her attack target."

Li Mo said calmly, "Yes."

Shigure Kirara: "But why did you shoot the old lady with the cat? Couldn't you just throw the phone away?"

Li Mo: "It's very troublesome to explain. Ask me again when you have time."

Shigure Kirara; "Um...Okay, that's not right! Then why did you use my phone?!"

Li Mo: “…”

Saori Tsuruyu: "..."

Shigure Kirara: "Why are you silent at a time like this?!"

"Uh, Captain, don't be angry. Let's go up the mountain first. Going up the mountain is our primary goal." Saori Tsuruyu advised.

"Okay, okay, I'm not angry, really, I'm not angry at all..."

Shigure Qiluo forced a smile and tried to hypnotize herself.

But when I thought about the fact that I had three mobile phones and it was my own that got hurt, I felt very unbalanced.

Li Mo didn't look back, walked in front, and looked around vigilantly.

After noticing Shigure Kirara's anger, he said perfunctorily: "Your phone should have a cloud backup. Just change the phone and sync the data when you get back."

"But it's troublesome after all. I owe you one."

"After this matter is dealt with, you can ask me to do something I can do to make up for this favor, provided I can do it."

Li Mo's nonchalant answer immediately cleared the gloom from Shi Yu Qiluo's face, and she smiled happily.

A cell phone in exchange for a favor from Li Mo, that's quite a deal.

What should I ask him to do? Hehehe...

Countless happy ideas suddenly popped up in Shi Yu Qiluo's mind.

Let this guy hold up a sign that says "Qiluoxing is the best!" and stand in the most crowded place in Tianming Shopping Street for a whole day.

Or, arrange for him to play the leading role in a comedy movie. Yes, it must be very interesting to see a gloomy man with a paralyzed face playing the leading role in a comedy.

As her mind wandered, more and more specific images appeared, and Shigure Qiluo couldn't help but smile foolishly.

Coming back to her senses, Shigure Kirara said seriously, "Ahem...you said it, don't go back on your word! How about...let's make a promise. I'm afraid you won't keep your word."

Li Mo: "I never break my promise."

Saori Tsuruyu: "Brother, I'll give you my phone. If you encounter any risks, you can just throw it away. Although there is no cloud storage, you don't need to pity it!"

Li Mo: "That's not necessary. There's more than one ghost. If my memory serves me right, the old lady cat has at least dozens of them."

"Only if there are other ghosts can we divert its attack target."

"At this point, there's no need for the light from a cell phone to provide cover."

"Also, we're moving too slowly."

Li Mo turned around, held Saori Tsuruyou in front of him, mobilized some of his strength to sprint, and quickly shuttled through the ancient steps of Tongtian Road.

A strong wind blew up, making the surrounding leaves rustle.

He didn't run at full speed, fearing that Shigure Kirara behind him would not be able to keep up. As a Valkyrie student, Saori Tsuruyu's physique was even more limited. Even with the blessing of the Valkyrie armor, she might not be able to keep up with him and Shigure Kirara.

Shigure Kirara's mood suddenly became not so good again. She took a deep breath, used Honkai to activate the Valkyrie Armor to enhance herself, and quickly followed.

On the way up the mountain, Li Mo chose to stay in the shade covered by leaves and rocks as much as possible to avoid direct contact with the moonlight.

Especially Shigure Kirara, who didn't bring a big sword, and it was inconvenient for her to deal with the long hair behind her head in a short time.

When running, her long, white and smooth hair is always involuntarily blown by the evening breeze to where the moonlight reaches. The bright moonlight makes her long hair crystal clear, shining like a brilliant galaxy fallen into the earth.

Two-meter-long white hair fluttered in the wind, swaying messily.

After several hours of running around, it was already early morning.

Their luck was pretty good. They only encountered a few unknown monsters along the way, and no one attacked them. Perhaps it was because they were far away, and Li Mo and others did not trigger the pattern, and were not in the light, so they were not within the opponent's attack target.

When he was about to reach the top of Taixu Mountain, Li Mo stopped.

He had one final point to make.

As soon as I looked back, I saw Shigure Kirara bent over, with her hands on her knees, breathing heavily.

"Haah...haah..."

Shigure Kirara's forehead was covered in sweat, and her wet ice-blue hair stuck to her cheeks.

The edges of the Valkyrie's armor were soaked with sweat, showing irregular shades of light and dark.

Sweat flowed down the hair in front of her forehead, each drop was crystal clear. The sweat flowed like a small river from her forehead, across the tip of her nose, and dripped to the corners of her mouth, drop by drop.

"Have a rest... take a rest..."

Shigure Kirara said breathlessly while sitting on the ground, her chest heaving violently at a high frequency.

Li Mo took a look, confirmed Shi Yu Qiluo's condition, and then looked away.

Saori Tsuruyou was put down by Li Mo. Unlike Shigure Kirara, she not only did not feel hot, but felt a little cold.

Li Mo sprinted too fast, and Saori Tsuruyou was blown by the cold wind for several hours.

If Saori Tsuruyu didn't feel happy being held, she would definitely protest strongly and complain loudly.

Then, a strange scene appeared.

Li Mo had a blank expression on his face, and his eyes gazed around calmly.

Saori Tsuruyu clenched her body, trying to hide as much exposed skin as possible within her clothes.

Shigure Kirara was breathing heavily, the temperature around her rose a lot, and her face was red.

The three people seemed to exist in different seasons:

Li Mo in the warm spring; Shigure Qiluo in the hot summer; Saori Tsuruyu in the cold winter.

"Shigure, are you currently an S-rank Valkyrie or an A-rank one?"

"S-rank...what's wrong?"

"Nothing, I just think S-rank is a bit weak."

"...Are you mistaken? S-rank isn't based on physical strength. It doesn't mean you can run at full speed for hours! It's because you ran too fast that I had to activate Honkai energy to barely keep up! Even if it's a marathon, at least you should run at a constant speed throughout. If I hadn't slacked off in my training, I would have been left behind!"

"...Oh." Li Mo replied lightly, no, just one word.

Is that the case?

Li Mo felt that he had to re-evaluate the combat effectiveness of the S-class Valkyrie, or perhaps, Shigure Qiluo had just stepped into this threshold.

"Brother, aren't we going over there?"

Saori Tsuruyu pointed to the Rashomon-like passage in front of her.

Li Mo remembered that as soon as he and Changle and his group entered, the Seven Swords of Taixu appeared.

Now the Seven Swordsmen of Taixu may have completely lost consciousness. According to their instructions before leaving, they will not kill anyone during the day, but will only entertain guests who come to the mountain.

It is different at night, when you have the authority to kill.

Li Mo was still unsure whether he would be attacked immediately if he walked in at this time.

How to respond if attacked.

If he wanted to leave, the current strength of the Seven Swords of Taixu would definitely not be enough to keep him. Their killing method was to look each other in the eye. As long as he didn't look at each other, he could use his strength to repel them and achieve the effect of fighting and retreating.

But ghosts cannot be killed, so Li Mo cannot win.

If the stalemate continues, one's consciousness will be polluted and distorted, and the body will suffer strange erosion.

Hiding in the silent wing room could buy a brief peace, but the number of ghosts that the wing room could resist was four. After Li Mo and Changle looked at each other, the number of ghosts that the wing room could resist should have become five, or even more.

If the Seven Swords of Taixu were led outside the wing room, it would be judged that there would be seven more ghosts outside the wing room, which would most likely render the wing room's protective ability ineffective.

Seven Swords of Taixu...

It’s a pity that we didn’t have enough time to talk last time, and I haven’t remembered to ask clearly how to deal with it when I come back next time at night.

"I'll stay here for a moment while I think about some things. Then, I'll remind you of some things to be aware of."

Li Mo turned around and faced Shigure Kirara and Saori Tsuruyu, lowering his gaze to avoid eye contact.

"The ghost bride you saw in the town below the mountain just now, there is also someone who looks exactly like her on the mountain."

"She claims to be a princess of the dynasty, named Changle. This act seeks the blessing of the immortals, to protect the safety of her family and country."

"She and I reached the summit yesterday. Changle behaved just like a normal person, but I can't say for sure she's fine. After all... you saw her in the town before. There's also a Changle down the mountain, a ghost of unknown origin."

Li Mo told the story in detail.

Shi Yu Qiluo covered her head and listened to Li Mo's narration, some scenes from the past emerged in her mind.

Driven by some emotion, she broke down the door and rushed into the room, where she saw Li Mo and Changle about to have sex on the bed.

Shigure Kirara: "Is it her? There's another one on the mountain?"

Li Mo: "Yeah."

Shigure Kirara: "Xiaoyou, what do you think? Do you think she's a ghost that should be expelled, or is it okay for humans to be with her?"

Saori Tsuruyu: "Hmm... I'm not sure, but since there are people named Changle on the mountain and below, maybe we can find more clues through her. I don't know enough, but I will do whatever my brother does. I will listen to my brother."

Li Mo: "Let's go together for now. Also, don't mention anything about what happened down the mountain."

"There are two more people in the wedding procession carrying the bridal sedan. I recognize them. They were the assassins around Changle who were killed by the ghosts in the mountains before."

Saori Tsuruyu: "If you are killed on the mountain, you will appear at the foot of the mountain?"

Li Mo nodded, this was also a part of the truth.

"If you are killed on the mountain, you will either be skinned by the Seven Swords of Taixu, or transformed into a human-skinned ghost by the unknown and strange power of Taixu Mountain. Your flesh and blood will appear in the town below the mountain, becoming a human-like flesh and blood ghost."

"On the day of the Ghost Festival, the flesh-and-blood ghost will climb the mountain and eventually find its own human skin. The two will combine to revive a complete ghost."

Shi Yu Qiluo: "That's not right. What about the Changle you mentioned? Since she can travel with you on the mountain, she must not be human skin, right?"

Li Mo: "She's just a living person for now. If we let her realize that she's dead, she'll quickly turn into a human-skinned ghost."

"The Seven Swords of Taixu... that's how they died."

"When you realize you are not alive, you die."

Saori Tsuruyu pondered for a while and gradually understood the current situation.
