Weird collapse, chasing husband crematorium

In a minute, the Drowned Ghost will find Shigure Kirara and completely assimilate her into the Weirdness.

It would be easy to drag it past 9:04, but if the root cause of the drowning ghost is not solved, Shigure Kirara will never be saved.

Every person or ghost in Mirror Lake can only reverse their identity once. If they are human, they will only become a ghost, and their identity will not change even if they fall into Mirror Lake again.

This is also the reason why Li Mo could not see his own reflection on the lake.

So what Li Mo has to do is very simple. Since the drowned ghost will definitely appear on the locked target at a fixed time, then he will lure it into the trap and let it get lost in the strange treasure chest forever.

The strange treasure chest is absolutely sealed. Unlike the black coffin, things locked in the strange treasure chest cannot escape. They can only be freed by waiting for someone from the outside to open it.

Once opened, only one thing can be released at a time, depending on the vision of the opener at the time.

Let Shigure Qiluo hide in the mysterious treasure chest, and the drowned ghost will also go in at a certain time.

In this way, the drowned ghost will never be able to find Shigure Kirara, but the pollution remaining on her body will not disappear.

At this time, it is time to take the most dangerous step.

He opened the mysterious treasure chest himself.

Release Shigure Kirara, or rather... Guiqi.

Li Mo, who has lost his emotions, subjectively does not have any specific things that he desires extremely, including Hua.

But there is one exception, and that is the love that is rooted deep in the soul and spreads to every parallel world just like Guiqi.

Under normal circumstances, if Li Mo opened the strange treasure chest, what might come out was Mei, a weapon that effectively deals with strangeness, groups of strange coins, and Alicia who can eliminate the accumulation of deaths.

But now, there is only one thing that he truly desires in his heart.

See her, protect her, love her...

Now, if we open the strange treasure chest, the only thing that could come out is the strange Qi attached to Shi Yu Qi Luo.

On the wedding night, Shi Yu Qiluo broke into his and Chang Le's wedding uncontrollably. Her strange behavior proved this, but she was still unaware of it.

Opening a strange treasure chest requires taking on the corresponding curse. Unfortunately, the curse is just like the will of the world. When Li Mo was dealing with the weirdness spreading in the Weird Bud World, he encountered that situation in the old world.

At the beginning, the world will give reasons for targeting you, but the intensity of the targeting will increase as time goes on, and in the end it becomes completely illogical.

The Ruler of Reason, the false god Otto, Ying Jie who should have died in the collapsed state, the devil Kevin...

All gathered here at the wrong time, in the wrong place, with the wrong purpose to prevent him from finding the truth.

Li Mo pulled himself out of his memories, and after waking up, he grabbed Shi Yu Qiluo's wrist and swam towards the strange treasure chest at the bottom of the lake.

I guess he can't withstand two curses, but if it's just one, the Doom Ghost should be able to.

Li Mo and Shi Yu Qiluo floated in front of the strange treasure chest.

Without hesitation, Li Mo asked Shi Yu Qiluo to open the strange treasure chest, and the first curse had to be borne by Shi Yu Qiluo herself.

With Guiqi on her, nothing serious will happen. Even if there is a curse, the curse cannot tell whether the target is Shigure Kirara or Guiqi.

Chapter 56: Stovetop Ghost Fire, Warm Scarlet Flame

If the unfortunate curse befell Guiqi, it might not be a bad thing, because it would greatly increase the probability of Shigure Kirara's survival.

When you open the strange treasure chest, even if Shigure Kirara is released with Guiqi as the dominant consciousness, Guiqi will lose the qualification of dominant consciousness due to various "reasons".

but……

Li Mo pondered for a moment, recalling every time she dealt with Guiqi, her luck seemed to always be bad.

Every time he was just one step away from completely killing himself.

When perfection arrives, it cannot last long due to various factors such as time and media.

Lacking media and coordinates, it cannot come to me in its entirety.

I once wrote words of love in blood under the moonlight outside the auditorium. I'm afraid Guiqi's departure was also because the blood words had dried up.

It is better to say that good luck has avoided Guiqi rather than that he is on his side.

Li Mo closed the box and looked around the bottom of Mirror Lake thoughtfully.

He will come here again, but only after the Ghost Festival on July 15th is over.

Tomorrow is July 15th, the Ghost Festival. All the flesh and blood ghosts in the town will set foot on the Tongtian Road and then rush to the Human Skin Forest to complete their broken human skin.

If he fails to stop it, it means that the weirdness of this world is out of control, and he will be powerless. Even if the wedding ceremony is completed, these ghosts will not disappear because they are not all born by Guihua.

Li Mo swam quickly towards the lake surface, and after reaching the shore, he immediately jumped onto a tree to observe the movements of the flesh and blood ghosts in the town.

Sure enough, there were hundreds of flesh and blood ghosts in a black mass, with rotten flesh turned inside out. Each ghost was extremely deformed, and some were crawling on the ground like maggots, moving slowly forward by wriggling movements.

According to the notebook's prediction, they are just a little bit away from reaching Renpilin today, and he still has one day to obtain the key factor that can turn the situation around.

"Go back to the inn first."

Without hesitation, Li Mo avoided the path of the flesh and blood ghost, but he felt a strange chill in his body.

Li Mo immediately stopped and looked around. With the faint moonlight, normal people could hardly see anything in the dark, but his eyes became strange and the darkness could not hinder his sight.

"Nothing at all."

Li Mo took out the thermometer again and walked slowly in the woods, focusing his attention on the back of each tree.

The only places he couldn't see at the moment were behind trees and in the weeds.

The thermometer showed no reaction at all and remained between one and three degrees. This temperature was Li Mo's own temperature, not the strange temperature nearby.

"Is it because I'm too polluted that I can directly feel the coldness that is unique to ghosts?"

"Or... even the thermometer can't detect it? A ghost that doesn't exist in reality has appeared next to me."

"I only felt this way after I walked out of the Mirror Lake. The ghost walked out of the Mirror Lake with me."

"But Mirror Lake can only reverse its identity once, so it won't work on me. Even a drowned ghost can't find me so quickly. The timing doesn't match."

Li Mo checked his body and found that it was no different from before he sank into the Mirror Lake. There was no obvious change in his body. So where did the ghost come from?

Before verifying it clearly, Li Mo cannot proceed with the next plan, as ghosts cannot enter the inn at night.

And he no longer had any extra deaths to try and make mistakes.

Li Mo touched his face. It seemed that the human skin had been expelled by the evil spirit in the Taoist temple while he was sleeping.

The ghost of doom lives in the sea of consciousness, and its cold and gloomy aura will not affect the body.

"Go back to Mirror Lake and take another look."

This back-and-forth behavior may seem silly, but it's a good way to detect anomalies.

Li Mo returned to the edge of Mirror Lake once again, lowered his head, and focused his gaze on the unfamiliar reflection on the lake.

The person in the reflection was not him, but a complete stranger. His gender was unknown, his body was covered with waterweed, and even his face was buried in dirty mud.

"Will new ghosts follow the living out of Mirror Lake?"

"No, it should be that the first time it sank into Mirror Lake, a drowned ghost appeared with the intention of reversing its identity. After entering and exiting again, the behavior of that drowned ghost has undergone an unpredictable change."

"..."

Li Mo stared intently at the ghost's reflection in the lake. The ghost had no eyes, and even seemed to have no skin on his face, revealing a pale skull and rotten, filthy flesh.

Just when Li Mo thought that a drowned ghost had walked out of Jinghu Lake and was haunting him, a dense crowd of human faces suddenly appeared on the surface of the lake. Each of them had their eyes gouged out, and the empty eye sockets stared at Li Mo eerily, their faces extremely pale.

There were so many of them that they almost filled the entire Mirror Lake, as if... everyone in the town was here.

Now it is confirmed that it is not a drowned ghost.

"Everyone in this town has been in Mirror Lake? No, that doesn't make sense. It's impossible for everyone to be in Mirror Lake."

It is easy to draw this conclusion as the reflections are dressed differently.

Li Mo did not look away. This number was almost the same as the human skins in the human skin forest.

But human skin is just skin, while the reflection in the mirror lake is a pool of blurry and distorted flesh and blood.

"Since the former is impossible, then the latter is the only possibility. Not everyone has entered Mirror Lake, but ordinary people who have entered Mirror Lake have died, and their flesh and blood are buried at the bottom of the lake."

"But why do you regard me as a target?"

"Reflections don't have a killing pattern, derivatives?"

There was a distinct cold light in Li Mo's eyes as he stared indifferently at his reflection in the lake.

"I don't have time to mess around with a bunch of unknown things here."

Li Mo quickly stretched out his left hand, hesitated for a moment, and took out the notebook from his arms.

"Everything is going according to your plan. Are you very happy?" Li Mo asked. His lines sounded like greetings to old friends who had been with him for many years, although his tone was so cold that it seemed like he was interrogating a prisoner, without a trace of human emotion.

The notebook was opened, and as expected, it could only be turned to the first page.

It remained silent and did not respond to Li Mo's question at this moment.

Because the notebook knew very well that Li Mo asked the question with the answer, there was naturally no need for it to explain too much.

"Let me change the question. If I seize the strange laws of the stove, what price will I have to pay?"

"Usurpation" can take away anything that exists in memory, whether it is concrete or abstract, but the premise of everything is that you can afford the price to pay.

This time, the notebook responded quickly:

[My name is Li Mo. In order to solve the weirdness that is about to spread in this world, I came up with a crazy idea.]

[But I know very well that once I take the first step, there will be no turning back, so I must treat this crazy choice with caution.]

[I try to get a concrete answer from the notebook before I make a decision.]

It was very active and seemed to be expecting me to use it, which indicated that I was very close to the end it wanted, which was probably my death.

"There's no need to pretend to express my inner thoughts. You know what I'm thinking, and I know what you're thinking too."

"A notebook where human and demonic nature intertwine. You have human wisdom and demonic laws."

"Because we both know the truth, you can be so open about your true nature. If you were truly objective, you should have introduced yourself thoroughly when I first met you."

Li Mo still had no expression on his face. The notebook slowed down its statement a little, and listened to Li Mo's words deliberately.

After the words fell, the notebook returned to its normal speaking speed.

[At 9:04 PM, I placed Shigure Kirara, who was suspected of being possessed by Guiqi, into a strange treasure chest to avoid the inevitable death of falling into Mirror Lake.]

[Opening the strange treasure chest requires a certain degree of unfortunate curse, the intensity of which is proportional to what one desires. But I know that this curse, which affects fate in the dark, may be negated by the Doom Ghost. Even if it cannot be completely negated, I still have one last resort...]

The first unfortunate curse befell Shigure Kirara. Within ten minutes of entering the strange treasure chest, she was lost in a vast sea of ghosts. Twenty minutes later, Shigure Kirara seemed to have "died."

Perhaps, once I've dealt with the Human Skin Ghost and the Flesh Ghost and returned to the bottom of Mirror Lake to open the mysterious treasure chest, I'll have a chance of surviving the released Shigure Kirara. As for me, because the things I released were so terrifying, the magnitude of the misfortune curse has increased dramatically, and I'll be bearing the highest level of misfortune curse. Fortunately, the Doom Ghost in my Sea of Consciousness has offset most of the misfortune curse for me.

[The curse of misfortune affects fate and cannot be removed by the power of the Ruler of Man.]

If I leave this curse of incompleteness unchecked, I will die within three months. No matter how hard I struggle, I cannot escape this fate.

[However, I seem to have found a way to divert the unfortunate curse. Even the incomplete unfortunate curse can help me delay the time it takes for her to eat me.]

At 9:09 PM, I left Mirror Lake, feeling a strange, unique chill lurking in the invisible darkness.

[I must find them today and temporarily restrain them. I haven't triggered the killing pattern, so I just need to get rid of them temporarily to escape.]

At 9:10 PM, I used the "Usurpation" spell on Weird Bud's left hand to seize the stove's strange ability for ten minutes—sight in the flames: guided by blood and illuminated by the flames, the person or entity illuminated by the flames can be presented in a way that is within my cognition.

The price I must pay is: obtaining a strange and incomplete original law: being easily attracted to light in darkness. As the pollution in my body becomes more serious, the effect of this original law will become more and more obvious.

At 9:11 PM, I saw them, a group of reflections from the past wandering around me. They weren't exactly ghosts in the strictest sense. Under the light of the will-o'-the-wisp, I could observe and touch them.

At 9:12 p.m., I got rid of them.

After reading it, Li Mo found that the result was not beyond his expectations.

Very reasonable price.

As human beings, if we want to acquire strange abilities, we will be forced to bear strange laws.

This price is not unbearable, because after he returns to the original world and clears the accumulated deaths, this law has little impact on him.

However, after dying too many times, this pattern becomes uncontrollable, causing Li Mo to behave strangely.

"What if I want to usurp the complete and permanent weird powers of the stove?"

Li Mo asked tentatively.

If the price paid is the same, then I can completely seize the sight in the firelight, and I will be more confident in dealing with unobservable strangeness in the future.
