Weird collapse, chasing husband crematorium

But this doesn't make sense. The candles outside the wall can ward off ghosts outside, while the candles inside the house can ward off ghosts inside the house.

If there is no ghost in the house, why would the candle, which is a strange object, be consumed?

"What are you looking for."

"Looking for ghosts."

"Ah? There's a ghost in the room? Isn't it true that there can't be ghosts in the room?"

"Ah."

Li Mo was too lazy to explain and patiently checked again, more carefully than last time, tearing open every corner and every crack to look.

Despite this, Li Mo still found nothing and no trace of any ghosts.

too weird.

"Aren't you sleepy? I'm so sleepy..." Kanagawa Qimeng suddenly said.

"Go to bed if you're tired."

Li Mo dealt with it perfunctorily, holding the thermometer tightly in his hand and wandering around the room.

The temperature shown on the thermometer is always above zero degrees and is in a relatively stable state, which indirectly proves that the biggest weirdness in the room may be Li Mo himself.

Because after he restarts, his body will gradually be contaminated.

"Am I worrying too much? There is no ghost in the room, or am I judged to be a ghost?"

"No, based on previous examples, I'll only be considered a ghost after three deaths. That's when I can use 'Usurp'."

"I'm not using any strange powers right now, nor am I exposed to much external contamination. I can feel my heart beating slowly, and the blood flowing through my veins, maintaining the fragile characteristics of a human being."

"Since you can't find it, keep watch."

Li Mo brought a stool, placed it at the door, and sat on it, holding a thermometer in one hand and a strange pistol in the other.

Standing in front of the door.

Time passed by minute by minute, and rustling sounds were heard outside the corridor.

Li Mo focused all his attention on the door and listened carefully to the footsteps outside.

The footsteps were very heavy, like a beast stepping on a fragile and worn wooden floor, and each step was mixed with the sound of wood breaking.

"Da da da……"

"Go upstairs?"

Li Mo was very confused. He remembered what Kanagawa Qimeng said, and the answer he got from the notebook was not a lie, that the stairs would only appear after surviving the first day.

The notebook doesn't lie, so there is only one possibility: the person going upstairs is a ghost from the black fog.

Li Mo recalled his previous memories of escaping in the black fog. After obtaining Mo's memories, Li Mo had an extremely clear understanding of every detail of all the memories he had experienced.

A three-meter-tall, wide black shadow quickly shuttled through the black fog.

There are countless blurry black shadows behind, most of which are similar to the shapes of living people.

So there is a real Night Parade of One Hundred Demons in the black fog?

But if there were hundreds or thousands of ghosts, he should have triggered the law and been killed long ago, and would have no chance of escaping to the haunted house at all.

So what exactly are those ghost-like creatures in the black fog?

"I don't have time for that right now. I can only guard this door. This room is my guarantee of safety."

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

There was a faint knock on the door overhead.

Li Mo remembered that he had died as described in his notebook. Before his death, he heard a knock on the door and was killed by a ghost.

But the door he knocked on was not the one where Li Mo was, so he should be safe.

The sound was not transmitted to Li Mo. No matter what, the ghost knocking on the door could not kill all the living people who heard the knocking sound, right?

"Are the second-floor guest rooms and corridor right above my head? The layout is exactly the same...weird."

"Stopped?"

Li Mo noticed that the knocking on the door above his head suddenly stopped and only knocked three times.

The knocking ghost ignored the shielding and suppression of the candles, walked a few steps inside the corridor on the second floor, and came to the second room on the second floor, which was the guest room on the second floor corresponding to where Li Mo was.

The next second, there was another knock on the door.

"Oh!"

Just knock once.

Then the knocking ghost took a few steps inside and came to the third room on the second floor.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Knocked four times.

"Three, one, four..."

Li Mo carefully recorded the knocking sounds above his head. His hearing was extremely sharp after dying twice.

Soon, the knocking ghost came to the eighth room, which was also the key room where the blood-stained newspaper indicated that Yamashita Tetsuya was still alive...

Suddenly, the chaotic and noisy knocking sounds like raindrops resounded wildly on the ceiling above Li Mo's head.

“Bang bang bang bang bang… bang bang bang!!!”

Thirty-two strokes...

What does it mean?

Among the seven rooms in front, the one with the most knocks was the sixth room, with seven knocks.

The eighth room had more knocks than the first seven combined. Li Mo looked around the size of the room. If one knock could kill a living person, then thirty-two knocks could kill almost everyone in the room.

The bloody newspaper is lying!

"Hidden lies within the truth? No, I can't draw a conclusion yet. Unless I can prove that the knocking sound is a pattern of murder, the pattern of the blood-stained newspaper will remain a mystery."

"Perhaps the knock on the door is the key to surviving the second night and reaching the third floor. After all, the bloody newspaper begins with the words: I am you two days from now, and I am using this newspaper to tell you what will happen in the future. In two days, you will be killed by a ghost. To survive, you must remember every word I say."

"The 'guest' mentioned in the bloody newspaper must be this knocking ghost."

"This ghost almost ignored all the candles outside the corridor. Even the humanoid spiders that ate so many people were affected to some extent, but this guy acted like nothing happened."

"If you leave the room, you'll most likely be killed instantly without even a chance to resist."

The sound insulation between floors is not good. The house is very dilapidated after years of vicissitudes of life and the floor is quite fragile.

Li Mo heard the sound of the corridor floor being crushed, but he did not hear the sound of the door falling apart.

The fact that the door didn't break after thirty-two knocks proves that it can effectively resist the knocking ghost.

Li Mo wrote down the knocking sound he heard tonight. If nothing else happened, he would go up to the second floor and go to the eighth room early tomorrow morning to see what was inside before letting the knocking ghost knock thirty-two times over and over again.

There must be a reason for the strange patterns. There is no such thing as inexplicable behavior, especially such deliberate behavior.

It was hard for Li Mo not to think of something.

"It seems that tonight we are here for..."

Before Li Mo could finish his words, the room suddenly fell into darkness.

"what happened?"

Li Mo did not turn on the light of his mobile phone because that would instantly attract the ghost on the first floor.

The candle suddenly went out for no reason, which meant that the room where Li Mo was was no longer a refuge. If a ghost wandered into the corridor, it would definitely find him.

Must transfer immediately.

"Kanagawa, Kanagawa..."

Li Mo called out a few times, but Kanagawa Qimeng still kept her eyes closed, as if she had fallen into a deep sleep.

There was no extra time for Li Mo to wake her up. After packing up the strange things, Li Mo carried Kanagawa Qimeng on his back and kicked open the door.

It was a little dim outside in the corridor, but at least the candles were still burning.

However, this light did not last long and suddenly went out.

"The candles outside the wall are out too? Oh no! That ball of hair?"

Li Mo suddenly remembered the true form of the humanoid spider. A ball of black hair was entangled in the candle lamp. The candle went out, which meant that this ghost that could seize the wisdom of the living had escaped and disappeared into the shadows. The strange pistol could not cause any effective damage to it.

"Tada ta... ta ta ta..."

Frequent footsteps came from the hall and continued to approach the corridor.

"There's no time to deal with that ghost. Move the room!"

Li Mo carried the sleeping Kanagawa Qimeng on his back and broke into the third closest room. Fortunately, the candle inside was intact.

"saved?"

Li Mo walked into the room and was about to close the door when the small space was swallowed up by darkness as thick as ink, with no light at all.

"What's going on? This is the second time."

Li Mo's mind was working rapidly, trying to analyze what had happened to cause the candles in the room to go out instantly.

There is only one possibility for a candle to go out, and that is that it is used to suppress ghosts and then continuously consumed until it is completely exhausted.

There has never been a precedent for such an instantaneous extinguishing, or rather...

"I was spotted by a very scary ghost."

"Then even if I enter the fourth or fifth room, the same outcome will occur, which would be a waste of time."

Li Mo didn't hesitate, he kicked the door open and ran towards the eighth room.

As Li Mo ran frantically along the corridor, every time a candle passed by, the candle would go out. Gradually, the corridor fell into endless and deep darkness.

Just like hope, it was swallowed up without leaving even a glimmer of hope...

"You can't enter the ninth room. The eighth room is your last chance."

"In the end what happened?"

Everything happened too suddenly, and Li Mo had no time to think about the reasons when he was judging the scene.

But when Li Mo had only one way to go and didn't have to think about what to do next, and focused his thoughts on the reason why the candle went out, he suddenly realized the truth.

The truth that could have been easily touched upon was subconsciously ignored by him because of the reminder in the notebook.

The law is absolute.

There is only one reason why a candle goes out, and that is because it encounters a ghost.

He checked the room dozens of times, corners, walls, cracks, small holes...

The only person missing is the one who is most likely to be a ghost - Kanagawa Yume.

The person on his back is a ghost.

"I'm...alone?"

Before Li Mo turned around, a pair of delicate white arms reached out from behind him, gently stroking Li Mo's jaw, along his neck, and spreading to his cheeks.

The gentle caress was not enough, the ghost behind her hugged Li Mo tightly, like a girlfriend in love.

The ethereal and cold voice was close at hand, the thermometer dropped rapidly, and Li Mo's ears were bitten by the freezing teeth.

"I love you the most..."

Chapter 9 The Horror Knocking Ghost

Gradually, the bright red blood flowed down the pale arm, onto Li Mo's cheek, and dripped from his chin.

Li Mo glanced sideways and found that Kanagawa Qimeng's outstretched hands had turned into a pool of blood, with only the fragile white hand bones barely supporting her action of stroking Li Mo.

But Li Mo only felt cold and stiff.

There was no strange and unique aura of coldness about her, and even when she was carrying Kanagawa Qimeng on her back, the thermometer did not give any warning.
