Weird collapse, chasing husband crematorium

But when she saw Li Mo's expression, her heart suddenly froze, and she felt that something bad was about to happen.

"The situation is dire. I'm not worried about the humanoid spider outside. As long as we're in the room, it can't touch us."

"But why did she become a ghost? It's because she pretended to be a ghost. If you pretend to be a ghost, you will eventually become a ghost."

"I just told you that ghosts cannot be killed and they strictly follow laws. However, certain laws are also a form of existence for ghosts. If a living person does certain things in a specific area at a specific time, they will be subject to the corresponding laws."

"In other words, the rule on the first floor is 'pretending to be a ghost.' Once a living person pretends to be a ghost, then under certain conditions, it will become a ghost."

Li Mo's face was solemn, his eyes fixed on the steady flames, and he held the strange coin tightly in his hand, ready to throw it at any time.

He even had a vague premonition that the candle would go out in the next second, and then he would die inexplicably in the darkness.

Special conditions, obviously, are not easy to trigger.

Otherwise, the person playing the ghost would have become a ghost long ago.

But if she hadn't become a ghost, it would be scarier than if she had become one, because she could enter the room and blow out the candles...

Kanagawa Qimeng still didn't understand: "But, according to what you said, there were two people pretending to be ghosts during the day, so the ghosts we encountered should also be two identical ones."

"That's what I'm most worried about. If she's a ghost, she should be in the same world as us, following the same pattern as the humanoid spider outside and running into us. But we haven't encountered her, which means she's with your companions... and she could turn into a ghost at any time."

"How is this possible!?" Kanagawa Yumeng exclaimed.

"Nothing is impossible. From the details you just told me, I infer that the second law of the first floor is 'being left alone.' Once a living person is left alone, they will be dragged into another world, the other world."

"Just like you and me, you separated from the Minister at 7:59 to look for someone else. 8 o'clock is a special time. It doesn't matter if you're alone before this time. Once 8 o'clock passes, the person who is alone will appear in this world out of thin air."

"That's why you can see dust on the floor after cleaning. Your minister must have found someone immediately after separating from you to avoid being left alone."

"And you, with no one around before eight o'clock, came to the other world, found no one, and even encountered a ghost."

"The moment I stepped into the manor, I entered the other world, so I could see the ghosts in the black fog."

Li Mo analyzed it quickly, not missing any details.

Kanagawa Qimeng listened very carefully, but the more she listened, the more terrifying it became.

This means that the ghost in the outer world could...

Kanagawa Qimeng shook her head. "Since you have to meet the two rules of 'pretending to be a ghost' and 'being left alone' to become a ghost, then there's nothing to be afraid of from the captain. We have twenty-four people, excluding me and the member who turned into a ghost, there are still twenty-two. Add to that your reminder just now, the captain will definitely not let anyone be left alone again, you can rest assured about this."

"That's what I'm afraid of. Look at the group chat. Your companions said they have entered the room. There are five groups of four in total. The extra two are in the second room where your minister is."

"It may not appear to be a ghost, but it still maintains human thinking, habits, and behaviors, but it is essentially a ghost. If a ghost enters a house, the candles will be affected. Once the candles go out, no one in the room will be left..."

"What!? How can this be?" Kanagawa Qimeng bit her lips and showed an expression of disbelief.

There were two people pretending to be ghosts during the day, and one person was never alone and followed the living people into the room.

"Mingyue, you have a solution, right?"

"Yes, but I need your cooperation. Give me some information so that your minister can do exactly what I say. Quickly."

Li Mo's speaking speed increased significantly, and his tone became urgent. He immediately opened the group chat and quickly edited the message.

Time was running out, and he didn't know how long the candles in the room could last, but it definitely wouldn't be too long.

Ghosts are immortal, but strange things have their limits. Once the above rules disappear, they will be wiped out in an instant.

Li Mo used the identity of Kanagawa Qimeng in the group and tagged everyone crazily.

Kanagawa Qimeng: @All members Which room is Gouba, the person who pretends to be a ghost during the day! ?

Minister: @Shannagawa Qimeng is in the second room with me. What's wrong? Qimeng, what happened?

Member A: @Kanagawa Qimeng why are you asking this? Also, Qimeng where are you? We searched the entire first floor of the house but couldn’t find you. Could you have gone home?

Member B: @神奈川绮梦 you said this house is haunted? Where is it? Have you seen one? Come on, send us a photo or video, or we won't believe you!

Member C: @神奈川绮梦绮梦, is she with you now? She's the one who pretended to be a ghost during the day. There are only 22 of us here.

Li Mo didn't have the time to pay attention to the teasing of other members. As for whether they were together or not, they were indeed together. Just outside the corridor, Li Mo heard the sounds of her crawling and chewing.

As for why she swore, it was because Kanagawa Qimeng told Li Mo that every sentence containing a swear word proved that she was her.

Just as Li Mo was about to send another message, his phone received a low battery notification.

There is 10% battery left.

"Tsk, do you have a power bank?"

"No, the power bank is in another world, how could I have it here?"

"That has to be resolved quickly."

"Can't you send me a photo? Take a photo of me, maybe it will be more convincing."

"Do you really want to let ghosts know where we are? Photos contain some kind of coordinate information, which will be discovered. Chat records are the safest way."

Li Mo said disdainfully, Kanagawa Qimeng curled her lips, "I don't know..."

After turning off the low battery reminder, Li Mo quickly tapped the phone screen.

Li Mo had a private chat with the minister.

Kanagawa Kimu: Minister, kick her out, she is not a human being. If she continues to stay in the house, everyone will die. Don't be a s*x.

The director of the room looked back at the members behind him who seemed to be doing fine, then fell into deep thought without responding.

"You seem a little irritated?" Kanagawa Qimeng saw sweat dripping from Li Mo's forehead, "Are you worried about the ghost killing people?"

"What the hell am I worried about? I'm just mad at you, Minister. You didn't reply to my message for a long time, and you didn't express your attitude. You deserve to die."

Li Mo said this, but his fingers continued tapping on the screen.

At this time, the phone's battery level is 8%.

But Kanagawa Qimeng was using an Android phone, which made Li Mo even more worried. Although his phone had enough battery, it had no signal in this world, so he had no place to use the power.

By the time the phone turns off, it's too late.

Kanagawa Yume: I know it’s a bit abrupt for me to say this now, but I have a way to prove that that thing is not a human.

Kanagawa Qimeng: Minister Bangchui, can you send a private message to the people in other rooms and ask if it is only the candles on the wall of your room that are shaking and showing signs of going out?

In the outside world, the minister hesitated for a moment, then glanced at the member behind him who was pretending to be a ghost and everything was normal.

She was still chatting happily with the classmates around her, and the topics they discussed were very fashionable, which clearly showed the thinking of a living person.

On the contrary, Kanagawa Qimeng who was chatting privately was very anxious, and the style of her swearing had changed a lot.

According to the previous message sent by Kanagawa Qimeng, it turned out that only the candles in their room were shaking, and there were signs that they were going out.

But...are you going to kick out your classmates and members of the Psychic Club because of this?

It's like they're deliberately excluding us, it's so hurtful!

Minister: You are right, but your reasons are not sufficient. Qimeng, stop joking. Where are you? Come out and meet everyone. Why do you keep saying stupid things today?

Minister: She is our classmate, we shouldn’t treat her like this. Are you saying this on purpose because you are angry about her pretending to be a ghost and scaring everyone before?

"..."

Li Mo really wants to hit someone now.

He could understand that as a minister, he was reluctant to drive out or exclude anyone, but extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures.

In terms of rationality and logic, gender sometimes has a huge impact on level judgment.

If it were a man, he would definitely do it first and then talk about it. At most, he would apologize and say sorry, buddy.

The battery level suddenly jumped to 2%, which meant that Li Mo had only one last chance to convince the minister to drive out the ghost even though everything seemed normal.

"I'm sorry, that's just how the minister is. He tends to be indecisive at times like this..." Kanagawa Kimeng was also very angry watching from the side. From a God's perspective, the minister's actions were tantamount to harming everyone in the room, including them.

"I won't cry until I see the coffin."

Li Mo hardened his heart and said, since you must have evidence, then I will give you evidence.

Kanagawa Kimu: Okay, I have one last solution.

Kanagawa Qimeng: My phone is out of battery. After saying this, I can no longer reply to you. Please remember that the person who contacts you next time will not be me.

Kanagawa Yume: Take out the lighter, walk over to the candle and blow it out...

Kanagawa Yume: Have everyone stand in front of you, let her sleep on the bed, covered with a blanket, and then... you will know if what I said is true. Once you know the truth, use a lighter to relight the candle, and while the ghost is suppressed by the candlelight, throw it out and block the door tightly. This is the only way...

"Wait, you blow out the candles...!?" Kanagawa Kimu realized something in an instant.

She remembered Li Mo saying that candles were used to suppress ghosts and block the vision of people in the ghost's eyes.

"Yes, people will die, and more than one person may die."

Li Mo said coldly, he took out a strange pistol and walked to the door.

"But there's no better way. I'm going to let the ghost sleep in the bed, covered in a blanket. Everyone should stay away from it, just to trigger the 'alone' rule. Plus, it's already triggered the 'pretending to be a ghost' rule. Without the candle to suppress it, the ghost will reveal its true face."

"When the students scream, your minister will realize that what I just said is true. Light the candles and use the suppressive effect of the candles to drive the ghost out."

"..."

"What? You think I did something wrong."

"I tried my best to warn them, but did you see how they responded to me?"

"I have absolutely no obligation to save you. If you die, you die. I don't need to bear any responsibility. Even so, I still want to save you all. Because you helped me, I am willing to protect you, but that doesn't mean I will give up everything just to protect you."

Kanagawa Qimeng: "I have no objection, but... I can probably imagine what the minister will say about you when you meet her later."

"What are you saying about me? Haha, something like 'Why sacrifice our lives? That's a lot of lives!'"

Kanagawa Qimeng nodded and said helplessly, "Yes."

She didn't care about what Li Mo did, but his deceased classmates and their families would not let him off so easily.

However, when the time comes, she will probably help Li Mo bear the responsibility as a way of repaying his kindness.

At worst, I can just transfer to another school and return to China.

"I am indeed a little angry." Li Mo calmed down and slowly exhaled.

"It's okay for me, because I'm not afraid of death. But my companions are willing to follow me without any obligation, dealing with these disgusting and weird things, losing their freedom, and being dragged down and even scolded by the people they protect."

"I can't accept this outcome. I can be scolded, but not my companions. Whoever wants to harm them, I will kill him, it's that simple."

"Your companion didn't deserve to die, but does that mean my companion and I deserve to die?"

"Forget it. There's no point in saying more. The matter is done. Let's do the things at hand first and then think about the future."

"Hide in the back. Your minister is in the same room with us. Once she extinguishes the candles in the outer world, the candles in our room will likely go out as well. I will do my best to stop the ghosts outside. No... not try my best, but do my utmost."

Li Mo did not back down. He has always been like this. If there is a problem, he will solve it instead of complaining about himself or blaming others.

Kanagawa Kimu's legs were pierced by the upgraded bullet, restricting her movement. Plus, she was just an ordinary person with no combat ability, so she couldn't escape.

Then we can only rely on him to hold the defense line.

Moreover, Li Mo could not guard inside the house, he had to go outside the corridor to prevent the ghost from entering the corridor.

If he simply guards the door, some ghosts will definitely slip in. But if he guards the corridor, all the ghosts will regard him as the primary target of attack, and there will be no such risk in the room.

Risk and return are always a pair of lovers in love...inseparable.

Chapter 6 Death Restart: Counterattack under Extreme Rationality (5k)

Suddenly, as Li Mo predicted, the candles in the room went out and the door handle was suddenly turned by something.

"Hey, the doorknob moved..."

"I know."

Li Mo took out the strange pistol. Although the notebook showed that this gun had no effect on the ghost lurking in the shadows, it did not prevent the strange pistol from suppressing other ghosts with physical form.

that's enough.

The candles in the outer world are connected to the inner world. If either side is extinguished, it will directly affect the other side.

Li Mo's breathing slowed down and he opened the door. There was only the cold, dark, and worn wall, which looked like a distorted human face staring at him strangely.

The dark corridor was dead silent. Li Mo did not look towards the end, but turned towards the entrance of the corridor and faced the hall.

"The ceiling at the hallway entrance needs extra attention..."

According to the prophecy in the notebook, his head was eaten by a shadow and he was unable to resist. Could the eating and the suppression come from the same ghost?
