Li Mo instinctively retreated without looking back.
After a long while, he lowered his head and glanced around with his peripheral vision, but did not see any figure.
The source of the sound is in the Taoist temple.
Li Mo then looked up and stared at the towering wall. The person who was speaking was inside.
And this sound...
"It's me, I'm Hua."
"..."
As soon as the words fell, the air seemed to freeze and stopped flowing. The two people faced each other across a thick wall, ignoring each other and remaining silent for a long time.
Li Mo was not happy about finding Hua. He had lost the concept of emotions.
But his intuition and memory told him that it was the person speaking inside the wall.
It must not be Hua.
Before crossing over, Mei had not anticipated this and reminded Li Mo on a note that Hua might no longer be Hua.
But what if?
Although Hua's luck wasn't very good, she had a guaranteed minimum draw card, and every shop she went shopping was closed. She was even blackmailed for no reason while walking, and the other party would call her "young man" in a condescending manner...
But her luck in saving her life has always been good, and she can always escape danger and overcome difficulties.
"Huh..." Li Mo took a deep breath.
Isn't the purpose of his trip to bring China back?
We hadn't found any trace of Hua for a long time, but now we found him all at once.
This huge contrast made Li Mo even more suspicious.
After a long while, Li Mo opened his mouth and asked a tongue-twisting question:
“How do you prove you are yourself?”
The person on the other side of the wall spoke slowly and calmly, as if he really wanted to cooperate with Li Mo to prove his identity.
"I'm Hua. If you don't believe me, you can ask me about memories that only Hua knows. I'm sure I can answer them. Any question is fine."
With just this one sentence, Li Mo concluded that the woman who called herself "Hua" on the other side of the wall was not Hua, but a ghost who had stolen Hua's memory.
Faced with Li Mo's questions, Hua would only understand and not ask questions in return.
If it was the real Hua, he would definitely be the first to say, "Indeed, you are very thoughtful. In supernatural events, we should first confirm each other's identities before making the next decision."
Instead of being in a hurry to prove yourself like now.
Li Mo did not expose the truth. He waited patiently, saying nothing, and watched the clumsy drama performed by the source of the sound quietly.
Seeing Li Mo's indifference, the other side of the wall said, "I am Hua, saved by you and Dr. Mei. During several missions, I accidentally received Dr. Mei's help. Through some special means, I merged with Garuda and became a spiritual fusion warrior."
Li Mo's tone was calm, without revealing a single flaw, as he asked, "Then why don't you come out and talk to me face to face? I find it hard to believe that you, without showing your face, are actually human or..."
"I can't get out. You can come in and take me away."
"Are you kidding me? You can't even get out, so why do you think I can? Let's stop testing here. If you were really Hua, I would come to pick you up tomorrow. Unfortunately... you are not."
"..."
After he finished speaking, there was no more sound from the other side of the wall, as if it had fallen silent.
This also indirectly confirms that the person is indeed not Hua, but the fact that he knows Hua's past can only mean that -
Hua is dead.
Hua has the blessing of divine sound and the healing power of Garuda, so even if it is destroyed beyond recognition, it can be reborn from the ashes.
In addition, Yu Duchen made up for the consciousness protection, so Hua's safety in carrying out the mission was very high, even better than Li Mo.
Li Mo only has many opportunities, and his strength in the previous few lives is limited. If he were alone, the information and clues he could obtain would be far inferior to those of Hua who has spiritual perception.
Even if the law of instant death is triggered, Hua cannot be killed as long as it is not too serious.
For example, the rule is that anyone who enters the door will die. Li Mo will lose his head when he enters, but Hua can transfer his consciousness to Yu Duchen the moment his head moves.
Then just wait for your body to repair itself.
Unless there is something particularly powerful that can restrain the spiritual system, it is difficult for Hua to die. At most, it will take a little longer to complete the mission.
But during Li Mo's exploration in the past few days, he gradually learned about the weirdness on Taixu Mountain, which was more or less tainted with spiritual pollution.
If this kind of pollution spreads into Yu Duchen, then Hua must have become a new weirdness.
"There's still a little while until nine o'clock. Is that complete monster still not coming out... or is it..."
Li Mo turned around and walked back to the wall outside the Taoist temple.
According to the notebook's prediction, the most complete and strange thing he has ever encountered is the unknown Hua inside the wall?
Li Mo fell into deep thought. The notebook contained all the truth, but it might misinterpret the contents and lead the user to misjudge the current situation in various ways.
But there is no doubt that the future described above is real.
After Li Mo denied that the person who survived by wearing human skin was himself, the notebook said:
My name is Li Mo. Tonight I will encounter the most complete weird creature I have ever encountered. In order to survive, I must trust her unconditionally.
Then there are two ways of survival for Li Mo.
The first one is to follow the plan first given in the notebook. After the hour of Xu, trigger the five laws at the same time, and then cover your face with the human skin from the locust tree.
This practice is extremely dangerous. The laws of mortality overlap and intertwine, creating confrontation and contradiction.
Survival will be confirmed at 10:14 tomorrow, but is the surviving Li Mo really Li Mo, is it me?
Li Mo was not sure. The human-skin ghost was a ghost that had taken over another person's body. Covering his face with it was no different from suicide.
In addition to the five laws of death, the Doom Ghost may not be able to offset the human skin ghost's possession like last time.
Then there is only the second way out -
Unconditionally believe that this is the most complete weirdness I have encountered tonight.
But today, Li Mo did not encounter such a creature. The most complete and strange thing was the human-headed ghost that ate murals, stoves, and rotten blood.
What about the "Hua" behind the wall?
The extent of her condition is unknown, but she is suspected to have retained some consciousness and is able to communicate.
More importantly, she must be weird, otherwise she would not meet the complete weirdness described in the notebook.
Is Hua really dead?
"magnificent."
"I'm here. Have you thought it through?"
"No, but I want to hear your thoughts. What do you want me to do?"
The communication between the two was straightforward, with questions and answers.
"Hua" didn't seem to be angry about Li Mo's departure, and was only thinking about Li Mo taking him away.
"I need you to remove the threshold of the Taoist temple, then come in with your eyes closed, hold my hand, and take me away from here."
"Threshold? This is Shenzhou. I've heard folklore that a threshold isn't just a hurdle; it's a natural barrier that prevents evil spirits from entering. Evil spirits raise their feet to step over it, but they always bump against it. Because they can't see how high the threshold is, their subconscious mind always raises their feet lower. If you ask me to remove the threshold, wouldn't that disrupt the principle of this barrier?"
After listening to "Hua's" instructions, Li Mo raised questions.
There is nothing wrong with walking in with eyes closed. "Hua" has been in Taixu Mountain for so long that he must be aware of the rules of eye contact. It sounds like he is considering it.
But... this is definitely not Hua's style.
Mei is the kind of person who just asks people to do something without explaining it. She doesn't have the mind or energy to explain the reasons to some unimportant people.
Even Li Mo didn't know what Mei was thinking most of the time.
But Hua is different. She has never been a leader, nor the one walking in front. She is a follower.
Therefore, any of her thoughts and decisions must have a reason, otherwise she will not be able to convince others or herself.
"Hua" did not give a reason today, which is very inappropriate in the context of strange supernatural events.
Unconditional belief?
Ah……
How can you ask me to unconditionally believe what a ghost says?
Li Mo scoffed inwardly, but the words in the notebook didn't seem to contain any trap.
Because Li Mo said to let his true self survive, the notebook gave the answer to the second path.
Be obedient and you will survive.
If you don't obey, you will die.
A fork in the road appeared.
In supernatural events, should you trust an omniscient notebook that can predict the future, or trust your own judgment?
Choosing the wrong thing means death, there is no other possibility.
“…” Li Mo raised his head, looked at the clear blue sky, stretched out his hand, wanting to touch the distant and unreachable world.
In the end, all you hold in your hands are ideals that will never be seen.
He felt a little homesick and missed the ordinary days of the past.
Believe in the future or believe in yourself?
This problem was once faced by Li Mo, an ordinary person.
At that time, he chose his future because everyone around him, including society, told him to do so, saying that if he didn't, he would have no future and that it would be much easier to follow the path they arranged.
So he gave up his ideals and dreams.
"Because I am a ghost." Hua revealed himself, and then added: "You too."
Li Mo did not deny it, "I know, and I know one more thing."
"what's up?"
"You will kill me and I will die."
When "Hua" heard this sudden assertion, its remaining consciousness from its previous life made it a little stunned.
The conversation between the two was purely based on what they knew.
These facts that chilled people's spines could no longer cause any ripples in Li Mo's heart.
He turned and left, no longer paying attention to the "Hua" inside the wall.
Even with the notebook's prediction, Li Mo did not accept "Hua's" request.
He was probably going to die, die at the moment he rejected the other party just now, die at 10:14 tomorrow morning.
what……
It's really ironic that he even knows the exact time of his own death, but he doesn't know what to do or how to save himself.
At dusk, the view of the valley gradually became blurred and the outlines were no longer so clear.
The mountains and trees in the distance gradually merged into the twilight.
The glow of the sunset fades and everything becomes silent.
The mountains are steep and lonely in the twilight.
The dead leaves fluttered, vaguely showing signs of withering, and fell on Li Mo's head.
Li Mo took the withered leaves from above his head, placed them in his palm and looked at them, a feeling of powerlessness welling up in his heart.
This leaf may be a broken tooth, a rotten eyeball, a broken ear, a rotten finger...
There are many possibilities, but it cannot be a leaf.
"Humph……"
Li Mo turned his wrist, and it continued to dance in the wind, turning and moving.
"It's still not too late for me to go back now."
