But for a normal person, it is too strange to completely reflect someone else's shadow.

Mo of the previous civilization was very contradictory, but after Danzhu Cangxuan's death and his departure from Hua, things became normal.

Li Mo lowered his head to look at his phone. It was now 8:40 in the evening. It was not yet the time for the world to revive strangely. He had to wait for another 20 minutes until the hour of Xu before he could go to Jinghu Lake to retrieve the real ghost bride.

However, faint sobs and sobs squeezed out from the crack in the door, and Li Mo heard the girl crying.

"Saori Tsuruyu's voice."

Hearing Saori Tsuruyu's crying, Li Mo vaguely realized something. He walked out of the room without hesitation and followed the source of the sound.

He stopped at the door of the room closest to the stairs in the corridor, pushed the door open without any delay, and walked in calmly.

He asked very directly, "Where is Shigure Kirara now?"

"What happened during and before my sleep? Also, what is the recorded information about the Flesh Ghost?"

Li Mo quickly said the two things that he needed to know most urgently, without caring at all why Saori Tsuruyou was crying.

"Brother? I... I'm sorry." Saori Tsuruyu immediately wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes with her hands, sniffed and adjusted her mentality.

Saori Tsuruyu, who just turned sixteen this year, is in some ways incredibly fragile, relying solely on her pure faith to keep herself strong. When the people she relied on left one after another, her true heart revealed itself, a vulnerable side that Li Mo first encountered.

After coming back to her senses, Saori Tsuruyou did not ask Li Mo too many questions, but answered the questions Li Mo wanted to know one by one.

"Three days ago, the captain and I used a notebook. The notebook guided the captain to jump into the lake deep in the town. The notebook predicted that at 9:04 tonight, the ghost in the lake would find the captain, and at 9:05 tonight, the captain would die..."

"Before you fell asleep, you told us to wait at Rashomon Gate, and then went with Changle to meet the Red Kite Immortal. We saw you panicking and running towards Rashomon Gate, only to be killed by the woman on your shoulders. After killing you, she left. We escaped because we didn't make eye contact with her. We then brought your body back to the Kite Moon Inn and carried out the plan you laid out for us."

"We have kept the information of the Flesh Ghost very well. Brother can go to the front desk to take a look later."

"It's almost time for that ghost to find the captain. Brother, what should we do? If we don't do anything, the captain will die, and she..."

Before Saori Tsuruyu could finish, Li Mo asked calmly, "What did Shigure Kirara get?"

Li Mo didn't even have to ask them why they were using notebooks.

There are indeed many things hidden in that lake, especially that strange box.

A treasure chest that comes from nowhere, with nothing inside, but contains everything concrete or abstract that theoretically exists.

A past, some memories, some rules, a strange fate...

Those who open it will get what they need most and meet the person they most want to meet. At the same time, they will also be plagued by bad luck and will not have a good end.

Anyone can open the box, provided they pay almost all the luck.

When Hua was little, she was called a jinx, but that was just a child's playful joke. But when she opened the box and released him, she became a true witch, enveloped in misfortune and disaster.

These misfortunes and misfortunes may not befall her personally, but may befall those close to her, making her future dark and shrouded in despair.

If it weren't for the fact that his previous self was a ghost with unknown laws from the beginning, and the unfortunate curse laws on Hua canceled each other out, he might not have been able to survive until 50,000 years later.

There is also the most distorted Mirror Lake, a mirror that reflects reality, retains the only silent soul, and reverses the reality and illusion of identity.

If the person who sinks is a real living person, another self will appear inside, that is, a ghost with the same soul; conversely, if the person who sinks is a ghost, a corresponding real living person will appear inside.

Reversing the identities of ghosts and humans is the function of Mirror Lake.

And no matter whether the drowned person is a fake person or a real person, the law of Mirror Lake will be triggered: Mirror Lake will create a drowned ghost, who has the human survival instinct and will drag another self to the bottom of the lake in exchange for self-rebirth.

This is most of what Li Mo saw in Mo's memory.

So there are actually two types of killing patterns in Jinghu Lake:

One is that when the ship just sinks, a drowned ghost will appear and drag the body. This kind of dragging is difficult to get rid of without the help of strange power, and it will definitely kill ordinary people.

After being dragged down by the drowned ghost, the drowned ghost will turn into a pool of lake water and enter the body of the drowned person, reversing the identities of human and ghost.

Second, as Saori Tsuruyu said, if the first killing pattern fails, the drowned ghost will come ashore and look for the marked target.

Find her and repeat the second half of the first pattern.

Although strictly speaking the first type is not murder, it is a reversal of identity, swapping the identities of human and ghost.

However, the identity of a living person obtained through strange powers is not a complete human being after all. If it is involved with the strange, it will inevitably be contaminated.

It’s just that normal people don’t live to be a hundred years old, so naturally they don’t need to worry about the pollution in their bodies.

But if we are given some special opportunity to live forever, this pollution will gradually deepen and eventually we will lose our human identity.

It seems that after jumping into the Mirror Lake, whether it is a human or a ghost, they will eventually become ghosts.

In order to give her true happiness, the stranger in this world must die meaningfully.

He resolutely decided to give up his immortality in exchange for a brief hundred years of busy life for mankind.

But Hua is not a fool. Li Mo vaguely remembers that in the ten years before the wedding, Hua repeated the same words to him many times.

At that time, he had not yet realized that Hua actually knew the truth, and he simply thought that Hua was just acting coquettishly or emphasizing his feelings.

That sentence is——

"If I were to die tomorrow, I'd want to be with you."

"..."

There was no emotional change on Li Mo's face, whether it was Hua or Shi Yu Qiluo.

Just speaking from the most direct emotional point of view.

Even if everyone except Kiana died, he wouldn't feel any sadness now.

But not feeling sad doesn't mean Li Mo is indifferent.

His rationality was still there, telling Li Mo that he should go and save Shi Yu Qiluo.

"..."

“Though the phoenix tree stands tall, its heart is already empty, waiting to blossom in spring, but its fruitfulness buried in winter.”

"This is what the captain told me to relay to you. The notebook says that after hearing this, you'll be able to completely eliminate the strangeness of this world and return it to normalcy..."

"Brother, I know this is selfish, but please save the captain first... She's hiding in the dark all by herself... She must be terrified... Even though the captain didn't say it, I know she's terrified, and she's also terrified of being alone..."

Saori Tsuruyu spoke weakly as she quickly repeated the contents of the diary. In this world, the life of an outsider is insignificant, and if someone dies, they die.

Moreover, dealing with strange things is a very dangerous matter. You can't let your emotions get in the way. Just because someone is close to Li Mo doesn't mean he has to save them. No matter what, dealing with strange things should be put first. This is the most correct approach.

Unexpectedly, Li Mo simply replied, "You've been deceived by the notebook. You don't need the contents of the diary to deal with the strange origin of this world."

"It may have used some rhetoric to make you believe that just doing this one thing would resolve the strangeness. But in reality, whether you do as it says or not, I can deal with the source of this world's strangeness after I wake up. It was precisely because it foresaw this that it was willing to generously allow you to use it, leading you into the trap it carefully set for me."

The first page of the notebook has a strong predictive power. Therefore, when Li Mo wakes up and learns about Shigure Kirara's situation, he will definitely find a way to save her. That's why it says many "sincere and true" words, asking Shigure Kirara and Saori Tsuruyu to do what it says.

“Why is this happening…?!”

After hearing Li Mo's explanation, the light in Saori Tsuruyou's eyes instantly disappeared. She knelt on the ground, lowered her head and looked at the floor in disbelief, muttering dully: "I killed the captain? And I let you, brother, walk into the trap set by the notebook..."

"I……"

Saori Tsuruyu's pupils trembled violently and shrank into tiny wheat awns.

She thought that she could use the notebook well if she was careful, but she never thought that she was still too naive in front of the notebook. She was kept in the dark without knowing it. She thought she had found a way to save the world, but she didn't know that it might destroy the world that could have been saved.

If Li Mo really walked into the trap carefully laid by the notebook, if something unexpected happened, not only would Shi Yu Qi Luo be unable to be rescued, but even the source of the mystery would be impossible to deal with, and everything would turn to ashes...

"It's not your fault. Your abilities are limited, and the information you can obtain is too little, so you're naturally led astray by it."

"I can't completely believe in anything weird, and I'm no exception."

At the beginning, the notebook offered a way to survive, which was extremely tempting.

It made him unconditionally believe the most complete weirdness he encountered tonight, if Li Mo had not chosen to believe himself and not believe the prophecy in the notebook.

I'm afraid there will be no miracle of waking up now.

Without a human-skin ghost to die for him, he would definitely die if he listened to the voice behind the wall and stepped over the threshold into the Taoist temple.

When dealing with strange events, the only person Li Mo trusts is himself.

"Things haven't reached the point of no return yet. I will solve everything."

"You're doing pretty well."

"I will bring Shigure Kirara back safely, and then, while I'm still alive, I will eliminate the source of this world's strangeness."

Li Mo took away all the strange things on the table: strange coins, notebooks, strange pistols, and thermometers.

The pattern on the strange coin is relatively complete. It seems that Saori Tsuruyu and Shigure Kirara did not use it.

Li Mo also believes that Saori Tsuruyu will throw out a strange coin to delay the arrival of Shigure Kirara's inevitable death.

Fortunately, Saori Tsuruyu has a high level of understanding and did not lose sight of the overall situation for the sake of immediate gains.

When a strange coin is thrown, the drowned ghost will be attracted, but that only delays the arrival of death.

When the pattern on the coin disappears, Shigure Kirara will still be targeted because she has triggered the law of death. Unless she uses another pattern to collide with it, Shigure Kirara will have to face this law of death.

In that case, not only would Shigure Kirara die, but she would also lose the most precious strange coin.

Li Mo turned his back, his calm face showing neither confidence nor fear.

He took out his cell phone and checked the time nonchalantly.

At 8:58 in the evening, there were less than six minutes left for the drowned ghost to find Shigure Kirara.

The town is very dangerous after the hour of Xu. Once you are targeted by countless flesh and blood ghosts, it is almost a dead end. Different rules are intertwined and overlapped, and if you get close, you will probably die.

Li Mo held the strange coin in his right hand, ready to throw it at any time.

This situation does not allow for any complacency, after all, this is his last life.

If he were targeted by a group of flesh-and-blood ghosts with unknown patterns, Li Mo would not hesitate to throw out the strange coin to protect himself.

As for the diary that Shigure Kirara found...

"Hua, and Gui Hua, you two really make me worry."

Chapter 54: Abandoned by the World, the Happiness of Immortals and Ordinary People

Li Mo now knows Hua's true whereabouts, which is in a Taoist temple. The person who called his real name that night was none other than the polluted Hua.

Due to some special reasons, she maintained her normal state during her lifetime, but from her speech style, it is obvious that she was seriously polluted.

Once Li Mo enters the Taoist temple, a strange law will be triggered, and she will be replaced by another consciousness and become a substitute for the strangeness of this world.

As for the mysterious treasure chest in Mirror Lake, Shigure Kirara's strongest desire at that time must have been to get clues that could break the deadlock, hence the appearance of that page of the diary.

The Chinese in the early civilization and even in the later civilization would not put the diary in a box alone. It goes against common sense.

Li Mo quickly shuttled through the darkness and sprinted across the rooftops of the town at the foot of Taixu Mountain. The rooftops were obviously safer than the streets.

Standing on a high place, the field of vision can be greatly extended. Li Mo's cloudy eyes, as a living dead, can see more than the eyes of a living person.

In addition, Li Mo also avoided the flames that remained in the streets and alleys for unknown reasons.

Even though there were less than two minutes left until the hour of Xu, Li Mo chose the safest option.

But there was one thing: he did not avoid the moonlight, but chose to accept it with pleasure, allowing the bright moonlight to wash over his whole body without any hesitation.

"I hope my guess is correct."

Li Mo didn't have time to use the notebook, nor did he want to use this damn thing anymore.

Now when I open the notebook, only the first page responds to me.

The purpose of the first page is obvious, to have him die in a way "she would come", such as dying in the moonlight, or dying after being close to or triggering a medium that was once related to the Strange.

If Li Mo reveals even a little bit of his coordinates before his death, he will be found by Guiqi after his death, and then the scene of his first death at St. Freya Academy will be repeated.

Guiqi ate herself with tears in her eyes.

This way, Guiqi can get closer to him.

Ever since the funeral, Li Mo had always had a feeling that Guiqi was very close to him, very close.

The notebook had predicted that the next time Guiqi descended in her entirety, if there was no one who could restrain her, he would truly die.

Locked in a state of death by time and space, or perhaps killed and then revived as a complete being named Li Mo.

Coupled with the recent attentive behavior of the first page of the notebook, Li Mo was even more convinced of this.

Guiya is unlikely to be able to fight against Guiqi, but Guihua might be able to fight against one or two, but she alone is not enough.

Even a complete Guiya and a complete Guihua may not be able to restrain Guiqi, so another controllable weirdness is needed.
