Weird collapse, chasing husband crematorium

Li Mo: "No, you all have to stay here. This isn't a discussion, it's a notice. Shi Yu, keep an eye on Xiao You. No matter what happens outside, don't let her out, and the others."

Shigure Kirara: "I understand."

Li Mo walked to the door, and out of habit he turned his hand to close the door.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The knock on the door came as expected, the sound was crisp.

Kirara Shigure and Saori Tsuruyu, who did not experience the ghost knocking on the door, did not feel much, but just felt it was a little strange.

But Changle, who saw the ghost knocking on the door with his own eyes and the ghost outside almost broke in, turned pale in an instant. He moved his gaze to the door in fear and was relieved when he found that it was Mingyue who was knocking on the door.

"Mingyue, why are you knocking on the door like a ghost in broad daylight? You scared me to death."

"..."

Li Mo said nothing, slowly retracted his hand that was about to close the door, and said calmly: "Shi Yu, close the door and keep an eye on everyone. I will be back later."

Shigure Qiluo didn't understand what was going on, so she quickly walked forward and closed the door.

After leaving, Li Mo looked at his right hand that was knocking on the door. He didn't expect that he couldn't even open the door, not only could he not open it.

Restarting with greater power comes at a price.

There is nothing wrong with this and there is no dissatisfaction.

Li Mo walked towards the slaughterhouse according to his memory. He wanted to see what the slaughterhouse looked like during the day.

"There is no locust tree. The locust tree should only appear after the hour of Xu."

Li Mo continued forward and crossed the fence.

"There are only some dead animals in the pigsty, but why haven't they been sent to the slaughterhouse to be skinned and deveined? They should have died a few days ago. Could it be that the Seven Disciples of Taixu only target living people?"

Li Mo did not stay for too long and continued forward, entering the cruel and bloody slaughterhouse in his memory.

However, he did not see the hell on earth that he saw that night, but just an ordinary slaughterhouse full of chickens, ducks and fish.

The only thing to note is that there are still animal skins hanging from the ceiling.

"My perception is polluted. Perhaps if Shigure and Xiaoyou were here instead, they would see the true tragedy."

"But there's no need. This isn't the point of breaking the impasse. I won't go in here either. There are more important things to do."

Before night falls, Li Mo has to ensure the geographical distribution and environment of Taixu Mountain.

At night, vision is restricted and observation is difficult.

He now had to plan his escape route, preferably one that allowed him to escape all the way to Rashomon with his eyes closed.

Therefore, Li Mo looked at the surrounding environment very seriously. Now that his cognition has been polluted, he doesn't care about looking at the surrounding environment.

Just don't look directly into the eyes of the ghosts that are active in Taixu Mountain during the day.

After patrolling several times, Li Mo finally confirmed the location of Chi Yuan, a Taoist temple full of vicissitudes of life.

There are many walls blocking the view and you can’t see what’s inside clearly.

"Jump into the air and take a look at the layout inside."

After saying that, Li Mo exerted a little strength, jumped into the air, and glanced around the Taoist temple. His photographic memory instantly engraved it in his mind.

In this way, as long as Li Mo touches a specific building, he will know where he is and can close his eyes and quickly leave towards Rashomon.

"I only have one chance. It took nine minutes from the meeting with the immortal to my death, and six minutes from the meeting with the immortal to my release. So I only have three minutes to escape Taixu Mountain. If I don't get out of Rashomon within these three minutes, I will definitely die."

"The notebook concealed a lot of information, especially why I saw 'Him'."

"Then can I see it with my eyes closed? No, it's not that simple. I never make eye contact with anyone, and I will definitely close my eyes during the most crucial moments."

"I would have done it even if the notebook hadn't prompted me, but I still died."

Death proves that closing your eyes is useless.

He has a way of looking himself in the eye.

"Let's try first. How long does it take me to get from the Taoist temple to Rashomon when I'm at full strength and when I'm completely exhausted?"

Li Mo was very active. He took out his mobile phone and pressed the timer in front of the Taoist temple. Then he exploded and rushed out suddenly, like a wild horse running away, galloping across the mountains and fields.

Countless afterimages were following behind him. When Li Mo ran to the Rashomon Gate, he looked down and saw that it had been thirty-one seconds.

It is shorter than expected, and this time can be compressed in a life-and-death situation.

But when escaping from the weird hand, it is very likely that you are not in full condition, so this time should be doubled, that is, one minute.

Three minutes feels more than enough…

"No, I can't think like that. Put yourself in their shoes. If I were Weird, how would I stop a living person from escaping?"

"If I want to leave Taixu Mountain, I need to do this: walk out of Rashomon within three minutes."

"Then what Weird would do is very simple. He could hold me back until three minutes have passed, or he could simply not let me leave Rashomon."

"There are many ways to hold him back, but Guiyi can't summon a bunch of evil spirits to block my path in broad daylight without triggering the rules. After I leave the Taoist temple, I'm basically safe. The Chiyuan inside is probably unable to leave easily, otherwise they would have come out and killed me in the past three days."

"There's another possibility. The Red Kite requires a living person to stay on the mountain for three full days and then meet it before it can leave the Taoist temple."

"But this conjecture is not true. There are only two possible outcomes after Chi Yuan comes out. Either I will throw him off in an instant, or he will catch me in an instant. It won't take more than three minutes."

Li Mo continued to analyze all possibilities, rationally eliminating every bold guess, leaving only the most likely idea, and making corresponding response plans.

He has to think more and plan everything out.

When living people deal with the weird, they can only keep winning. Even if the weird has no plan, as long as luck is on its side and it happens to win once, the living people will lose everything.

This game was unfair from the beginning.

"If I ignore the pollution and go all out in three minutes, it's enough for me to run dozens of times back and forth, so the problem is probably not that."

"But I can't get out of Taixu Mountain at all."

"The notebook also said that Saori Tsuruyu and Shigure Kirara didn't see me, which means I didn't even get close to Rashomon."

"I still haven't been able to do it after three deaths. This is definitely not a speed issue. So what went wrong?"

Li Mo pondered for a long time but couldn't come up with an answer.

There is too little information, there are many possibilities, and without verification, it cannot be true.

"..."

“Things you don’t know are really hard to think about.”

Li Mo returned to the Taoist temple, raised his head and stared at the towering walls in silence.

He really couldn't understand how he could leave the most dangerous Taoist temple, but be trapped in the safety of Taixu Mountain in broad daylight...

Where is the problem?

"Perhaps I should review the contents of the notebook describing my escape from the Taoist temple and see if there is anything I have missed."

"The first two sentences are directed at me personally... Let's put them aside for now and think about the rest."

"Tomorrow morning at 10:05, Changle and I will meet Chi Yuan in the Taoist temple."

"Tomorrow morning at 10:11, I will escape from the Taoist temple with 'Changle'."

"I saw Him at ten-thirteen tomorrow morning."

"Tomorrow morning at 10:14, I will die."

These four very short sentences describe the entire process of Li Mo's audience with the immortal, his escape from the Taoist temple and his final death. There are no fancy words or redundant descriptions.

Straightforward and simple, without revealing any further information.

The contents of the notebook are almost impenetrable, with almost all important information hidden between the lines or not mentioned at all.

There is too much unknown information and many possibilities, and it is impossible to confirm which one it is.

The only thing that is certain is that he died during the safest time of day.

There are no ghosts wandering around Taixu Mountain during the day, and the Seven Swords of Taixu are bound by the rules and will not kill people.

"So it's very likely that it was Chi Yuan who killed me. Remember that."

"Taking Changle away means that neither Changle nor I died immediately after meeting the immortal. However, I must have realized the dangers of the Taoist temple and that staying there for too long would kill me. So I took Changle and tried to escape the temple, and I succeeded. Therefore, the Taoist temple couldn't stop me. The notebook describes 'escape', not 'walk away', which is consistent with my assumption. Make a note of it."

"After escaping the Taoist temple, I saw 'Him' two minutes later... But I didn't need two minutes at all. Even when I was near death, I could leave the temple in under a minute. So I must have encountered an unknown obstacle during those two minutes. Remember that."

"After seeing 'Him,' I died."

"..."

Li Mo didn't know what clues he could find on this point.

There are clues, but they are useless.

The most common rule in Taixu Mountain is the rule of eye contact.

When looking into the eyes of the Seven Disciples of Taixu, one's cognition will be polluted, and one will mistake the obscene scene for a paradise on earth;

If you look into the eyes of the old lady cat, you will be assimilated into the same ghost. Assimilation is a process that will gradually transform you into a new old lady cat. While you cannot look away while staring at her, you can control your body and close your eyes to avoid any trouble.

If you look into the eyes of your own human-skin ghost, you will be possessed by it, and there is almost no way to counter it;

If you look into the eyes of your surroundings, you will not die, but you will be polluted;

It's okay to look directly at the mural ghost, but if you meet the following three rules: your body is in contact with the wall, your consciousness is asleep, or it's night time, you will be possessed by the mural ghost if you are seen by it.

If you look into His eyes, you will die after one minute, and the eye contact is mandatory, with no solution.

Li Mo's heart sank. After comparison, he suddenly realized that the eye contact with Him was the most serious of all the eye contact rules.

Forced eye contact, death is the result.

It didn't matter even if Li Mo looked at the human skin on the locust tree, because he still had the Doom Ghost in his mind. The Doom Ghost's curse had a very strong possessiveness due to special reasons.

Li Mo is not allowed to have any weirdness other than this one occupy his consciousness.

However, that was only when he faced ghosts with a lower degree of completeness than him. Obviously, his degree of completeness was second to none in the entire Taixu Mountain, otherwise the consequences of triggering the law would not be so serious.

As for the fact that he died a minute after their staring, it was probably because the Doom Ghost had a regular confrontation with Him and was defeated after a minute.

The Doom Ghost cannot keep his consciousness.

"..."

Staying alive is really a headache.

Was it really worth it for me to take on this heavy burden in the first place?

"I have to fight tooth and nail just to stay alive... How am I supposed to stop hundreds of flesh-and-blood ghosts on the Ghost Festival on July 15th?"

"Am I going to become weird again like before... How did I turn back into a human? I remember there was someone... but I can't remember her name, her appearance, her voice... She? Who is she? Is there such a person?"

Li Mo held his forehead and searched for the figure in his complicated memories, but to no avail.

But the remaining memories told Li Mo that this time, it seemed that no one would sacrifice themselves to turn him from a weirdo back into a human.

"Alas……?"

Li Mo suddenly felt his eyes moist, and he reached out his hand and gently touched the eyes.

I thought it was just ordinary blood. After all, after dying three times, Li Mo's body could no longer be called a living person, but a corpse.

Faint traces of human life, such as bleeding, occasionally make the corpse look a little alive.

Blood in the mouth, torn muscles, organ failure, and sudden cessation of breathing are common after three deaths.

He couldn't die in this state. The characteristics that would terrify living people were as common as blinking an eye to Li Mo.

But this time something unexpected happened.

It is a crystal clear teardrop.

There was an almost imperceptible pink sheen inside, as well as faint blood stains.

The dead heart in Li Mo's body suddenly beat, and then fell completely silent.

This peaceful atmosphere did not last long and was broken by a voice.

"Li Mo."

A familiar female voice came from the Taoist temple. The voice was neither loud nor soft, just enough for Li Mo who was outside the temple wall to hear.

"Who?!"
