Weird collapse, chasing husband crematorium

"Just now……"

"The one who replied to you was a ghost, but I don't know what kind of ghost it was."

"If you want to survive in a paranormal event, you must be skeptical of everything you see and hear, including me and you."

"The room we're in now is relatively safe, but not absolutely safe. See this candle? Before it goes out, we shouldn't have a direct conflict with the ghost. After it goes out, even if there is a direct conflict, we must avoid it as much as possible. Of course, I don't think we can survive after the candle goes out, so we must do everything we can to ensure that the candle burns until tomorrow morning."

Li Mo patiently told Kanagawa Qimeng the story, just like... he told Shigure Qiluo the story at the beginning.

"But why, why would I call a ghost? I was clearly calling the minister. Could it be that the minister has..." Kanagawa Yumeng suddenly realized this. The minister turned into a ghost?

In response, Kanagawa Qimeng looked at Li Mo for help, eager to get an answer.

In the brief conversation just now, Li Mo learned her real name and identity.

I guess it is a club in the Far East, the supernatural department. The supernatural, naturally, is to organize club activities related to ghosts and monsters.

"She shouldn't be dead yet. Ghost disguises don't obey human logic. There may be some similarities, but they are definitely not identical."

"You have to know that all the ghosts in this house... saw us disappear down the hallway."

"Ghosts have limited cognition."

"They may not know how we disappeared, but it was definitely one of the nine bedrooms. That's why they're eager to find out which one we are in and then... try to get in."

"Once you tell it which room we are in, it will appear in front of the door in the next second."

"If you use a phone or other communication device with external connections to make contact at this time, the signal will be fine inside, but once it reaches the outside, it will be distorted. No one will know whether it is a human or a ghost on the other end of the line."

"You're lucky this time. The ghost you're talking to doesn't seem very smart. If it can completely disguise itself as the minister you mentioned, when you tell it which room we're in, it'll reveal its identity and enter the room to kill people."

But Li Mo would not let that happen. He would definitely interrupt Kanagawa Qimeng before she could give an answer.

Kanagawa Qimeng swallowed her saliva. She had never thought of this.

Make a phone call, and it's a ghost talking on the other end...

I can't see a living person entering a room, so I want to know which room the living person is in, and even disguise myself as a living person...

Why does such a strange thing happen?

Thinking of this, Kanagawa Qimeng pursed her lips and asked a question with difficulty.

"What about you? How can you prove...that you are a human, not a ghost?"

"You suddenly appeared beside me and know so much about these ghost-related things. Could it be that you are a ghost with human intelligence, wanting to use me to find my companions?"

Li Mo didn't answer immediately, but a hint of surprise appeared on his face.

Unexpectedly, this good-looking high school girl was not frightened by her previous experience, but was able to recover so quickly, draw inferences from her experience, and even turn around to suspect the identity of her savior, which shows that she is still rational.

Li Mo thought about it, what if it was someone else.

He suddenly found himself alone in a haunted house, all his companions disappeared, and a creepy humanoid spider was chasing him in the darkness.

Unable to escape, unable to fight, and then being tied up, watching the deformed face and mouth approaching little by little.

I'm afraid that before half of it was over, he had already lost the ability to think, and only fear was left in his mind.

This girl is really good, but unfortunately, she is just an ordinary person.

Being an ordinary person means her upper limit is not high. Even if she has a calm mind and rational judgment, she can easily die in a supernatural event.

"First, you don't have to believe me, just as I never believed you."

"In supernatural events, it's fundamental to be suspicious of everyone except yourself. Sometimes, you even have to doubt whether your own memories are accurate and have been tampered with, whether your cognition conforms to the logic of reality, and whether you have cognitive confusion."

"Second, you can call me Mingyue. This is not my real name, but just a code name."

"I'm here to deal with the supernatural events here. In the process, I don't mind keeping the people around me alive as much as possible, provided they don't cause trouble for me. Otherwise, there's no need for the ghosts outside to kill people. I'll do it myself."

Li Mo's face was calm, but his expression fluctuated from time to time.

After all, the other party is just a little girl. Apart from necessary serious reminders, Li Mo will not stand on a high position and be aggressive.

He just wanted to remind the other party what they needed to pay attention to so that everyone could survive together.

"..."

Kanagawa Qimeng thought for a while, and her reason and emotion told her that the other party was trustworthy.

I can’t really put my finger on why, I just feel like I can trust him.

Was it because he saved me? But I knew I couldn't trust anyone.

"Will I be able to see my companions and leave this damn place when daybreak comes?"

"I don't want to stay here anymore."

Kanagawa Qimeng hugged the writing board tightly, showing her vulnerable side rarely.

She must tell everyone about the horror of the haunted house as soon as possible. If they stay any longer, everyone will die...

However, Li Mo's next words poured cold water on Kanagawa Qimeng.

Chapter 5: Death and Choice (6k)

"I'm sorry, you probably can't get out. I guess you came here to explore because you saw the real-time photos and videos posted by certain people online. If that's the case, you can check now to see if the accounts that posted the photos and videos have posted any other updates since then, even just a single sentence."

Li Mo reminded.

Kanagawa Qimeng immediately opened her cell phone and found a supernatural forum.

Hundreds of accounts have posted real-time scenes of haunted houses, including photos, videos, and some text.

But without exception, the latest updates of these accounts are all about haunted houses, and there is no news after that, as if they have disappeared from the face of the earth.

What this means is self-evident.

"Now you should understand. No one who went in has ever walked out alive."

"I think students like you know very well what it means for someone who posts updates on the forum every day to suddenly stop posting."

"After watching for so long, have you found an account that has resumed dynamic updates?"

Suddenly, Kanagawa Qimeng clicked on the update posted by the account that the Supernatural Club had found before.

"Yes, this one."

Kanagawa Qimeng pointed at the phone screen and said.

The latest update was yesterday, and the previous one was half a month ago, both of which were about haunted houses.

However, the previous update was a real-time shot of the haunted house, while the latest update was outside the manor. The owner of the account that posted the update has already left the haunted house.

Go outside and film the journey home.

It is accompanied by some confusing copywriting, saying that the haunted house is scary and I will come again next time.

"Can't we go out now?" asked Kanagawa Qimeng.

"Then why did you come here?" Li Mo stretched out his finger and repeatedly tapped on the other party's latest update of leaving the manor.

“You mean…!?”

"As you might have guessed, the person posting the update wasn't a human, but a ghost trying to get people in. The strangeness spread, and the ghost left its designated area and is suspected of taking over some people's consciousness and behavior."

"Then what should we do, if we let the ghosts into the city..."

"You don't have to worry about that. I've already considered this before entering the manor and arranged for my companions to deal with any ghosts that escape. All we have to do is reach the fifth floor alive. There is a solution to the supernatural incidents there."

"Can't you just climb up?"

"Just climb up! You're not afraid of death, but I am. Are you afraid that you won't die quickly enough? If you don't follow the ritual, even if you climb to the fifth floor, believe it or not, you won't find anything and your life will be wasted."

"But I saw during the day that there were no stairs."

"If you survive tonight, the stairs leading to the second floor will appear. Don't worry about that."

"How do you know so much..."

"Because I am a professional, professional matters should be left to professionals."

Li Mo took Kanagawa Qimeng's mobile phone and fiddled with it. The battery level was still 21%. Without a power bank, the battery would be exhausted soon. He had to remind the people in the other world within the remaining time.

If the doors to the inner world and the outer world were interconnected, and they had opened the second door and let the ghost in, Li Mo would really be grateful.

"What are you doing?"

"Inform your companions and tell them to stay in the house and do nothing."

"But won't the message you send be intercepted by ghosts?"

"I've considered this, so I've used twelve different languages. Your companions will definitely translate it using translation software, so don't worry. Ghosts won't tamper with information outside of their disguised identities."

"In other words, even if the ghost modified the Far Eastern and Shenzhou languages, it wouldn't matter, because I deliberately blurred the content edited in Far Eastern and Shenzhou languages. Even if they were deleted, it wouldn't affect the meaning of the sentence. After seeing so many languages, your companions will realize that your situation is very wrong and that there is something wrong with the haunted house, and they will be more vigilant."

Li Mo sent out a sentence that was edited in twelve languages: "Go into the room quickly, don't go out! There is a ghost in this house!"

"Also, I need you to do something."

"What's the matter?" asked Kanagawa Qimeng.

Li Mo said calmly, "Tell me everything you've done and seen since entering the haunted house. This is why I risked my life to save you. I need to find some key information to break the deadlock."

"it is good."

Kanagawa Qimeng agreed readily.

On the other side, everyone who was searching for Kanagawa Kimu in the haunted house gathered together.

Because of the thick black fog rising outside, nothing could be seen, and it was freezing cold, the minister was the first person to come back.

"Minister, Minister! Qi Meng sent a message!"

"I received it too. She sent it to a group chat, both private and group! What happened?"

"What is this? Did she send it? We haven't learned these languages at all."

"It's okay, I'll translate it using translation software."

The members of the Supernatural Department were very confused. If Qi Meng could send messages, why didn't she come directly to the hall to meet them?

The minister picked up his phone and used translation software to translate the obscure sentence. It was just a simple sentence:

"Go into the room quickly, don't go out! There's a ghost in this house!"

"Minister, I've translated it. Qi Meng said there's a ghost here? Is she playing a prank?"

"I think so. It must be a prank. He's hiding on purpose to scare us."

"But... Qi Meng may be playful, but is she really so blind to the overall situation? Besides, we really can't find her..."

"What do you think, Minister?"

"..."

The minister was silent for a while. Indeed, although Qi Meng was naughty and playful, she was definitely not someone who would cause trouble for no reason.

What's more, everyone was already having a lot of fun, so there was no need to make such a fuss.

Is there really a ghost here?

How can this be?

"Let's do as Qi Meng said. We have twenty-two people now. Don't spread yourself too thin. Divide into five groups of four. The two extra people will follow me into the second room. The rest of you can form your own teams."

"If you have anything to say, please contact us in the group, don't call us. Qi Meng didn't call us or even mention calling us, so there must be a reason."

"Don't leave the room tonight. Let's talk about everything during the day..."

The minister was a little nervous; she had a bad feeling in her heart.

Under the minister's command, everyone entered their respective rooms. There were six people in the second room where the minister was.

The time has come to 10:05 pm——

"What?! That spider is your companion?"

Li Mo was shocked and suddenly showed a panic expression on his face, but he quickly regained his composure. He must not be impatient.

calm down……

"What's wrong? Is there a problem? Isn't it just that she was eaten by a ghost, and then the ghost took on her human skin?"

Kanagawa Qimeng had not yet realized the seriousness of the matter and asked in confusion.
