Weird collapse, chasing husband crematorium

It came to the second floor and stayed at the stairs for half a minute. The knocking ghost walked to the corridor of the guest rooms on the second floor and fell into silence.

There was no repetition of the previous knocking behavior.

----

The perfect floor began to crack and then heal.

Several wooden boards were returned to Li Mo's bloody body, and time began to go back.

Back to the time when Li Mo had dealt with the humanoid spider, Kanagawa Qimeng told Li Mo about the incident with the blood newspaper, and Li Mo began to check if there were any hidden ghosts in the room.

"Aren't you sleepy? I'm so sleepy..." Kanagawa Qimeng suddenly said, her voice as soft as marshmallow, completely devoid of her previous heroism and open-mindedness.

But this time, Li Mo did not deal with it casually by saying "Go to bed if you're sleepy" as he did before.

Kanagawa Kimu, after falling asleep, is suspected to have turned into a monster that can die for herself, and her personality has changed greatly.

Li Mo began to recall the scene before his last death.

Kanagawa Yume died and melted into blood, splitting into two parts, one flesh and blood, and one bones.

You should die once if your head is separated in the room, but you will die from high degree of dismemberment in the end.

Separating the head should be the way the awakened ghost in the room kills people. There is indeed a ghost in the room, and it cannot be observed unless there is the ability of the stove that is eaten by the ghost with a human head.

The knocking ghost's knocking sound awakened the ghosts in the house, causing the thermometer to drop rapidly. A large number of ghosts were revived, so even without doing anything, the pattern was triggered.

Three ways of death correspond to three different ghosts.

This made Li Mo even more certain that his judgment was correct.

What he had to do next was very simple, which was to try his best to keep Kanagawa Yume awake and avoid himself being left alone.

"Aren't you curious about this notebook? Come, just this once, I'll show you how to use it..."

Chapter 10 Holding Hands

"real!?"

"I told you you were hiding something, bring it over! I can't wait! I want to see how this mysterious object will answer your questions!"

Kanagawa Qimeng sat up with a somersault, and then her ankle was torn open by the wound. The corners of her mouth twitched uncontrollably for a few times. She smiled awkwardly and looked at Li Mo with a little embarrassment.

Li Mo's attention was not on her at all. His pale face was like a piece of A4 paper used for printing, giving Kanagawa Qimeng a strange illusion that he had been dead for a long time.

His face became calm, then gloomier, his eyes became more cloudy, and he completely lost the ability to focus that a human eye could have.

Li Mo sat next to Kanagawa Qimeng with a notebook in his hand. The candle swayed slightly, but remained stable, but the power was constantly being consumed.

If this continues, it is only a matter of time before the candle goes out.

The room has already judged Li Mo as a ghost.

"What questions are you going to ask? Didn't you say before that this diary won't answer every question? So, what kind of questions does it answer?"

Kanagawa Qimen took out a writing board and a notebook, ready to record everything she was about to see.

Li Mo did not hinder her. It would be best if the strange truth was known to the world, but most people would not believe it because they would never encounter it.

“How to survive.”

Li Mo answered briefly and opened the first page of the notebook under Kanagawa Qimeng's gaze.

"But what I'm asking is what kind of questions the diary will answer."

"everything."

"Then why didn't it answer the first question I asked? Is it because my XP is too weird and my mind can't process the supernatural items?"

"Because you don't yet possess what it can take away from you."

"What do you mean? It'll take something from me after it answers?"

"will not."

The exchange of notebooks is not a direct exchange like "usurpation", "making a wish", "mysterious cave", etc., but it allows people to voluntarily walk into the future it lays out and enter a dead end according to the expected results.

It seems that nothing has been lost, but in fact a lot has been lost.

Li Mo didn't say anything more to Kanagawa Qimeng.

"There's no need to repeat my own death. I want to know how to escape the Knocker's pursuit."

"Before you answer that question, answer me first. What would happen if I punctured my eardrum, ripped my ear off, and destroyed my hearing nerve? What would happen if I lost my human hearing sense?"

No matter what kind of trap the notebook sets, Li Mo can only do what it says first.

He had no means to deal with this knocking ghost. As long as he was in this haunted house, the knocking ghost was almost invincible.

But that doesn’t mean Li Mo can’t have his own ideas. He needs to judge what the pattern of the knocking ghost killing people is.

Kanagawa Qimeng on the side was stunned for two seconds, then turned to look at Li Mo in disbelief.

What a cruel person! It would be fine if he had a gun, but why does he keep talking about rivers of blood... Punctured eardrums, ripped off ears, damaged nerves, is this something a normal person can say?

There's no medical equipment or hemostatic drugs here. If you accidentally use too much force, you could easily die from excessive blood loss, right?!

[My name is Li Mo. By the time you see this, I'll have already died on the fourth floor.]

"Ah? You're dead? Could it be that... you are the real ghost!"

Kanagawa Qimeng was panicked and tried to move her butt with difficulty, but she found that her injuries could not escape from Li Mo's palm at all, so she could only move back obediently.

With a look of despair, he said, "What a fucking life. Mingyue, oh no... your name is Li Mo. Tell me, what else should I be careful about when getting along with you? Should I be more careful in my next life? Should I not get too close to you?"

Li Mo replied without denying it: "It's right to stay away from me. Unless you have to, it's best not to get close to me."

He carries contamination in him. If he comes into contact with the immortal species, he will most likely turn into a fierce ghost after his death in several years.

It doesn't matter for short-lived species. They are dead before the pollution spreads to their souls, so there is no risk of them becoming evil spirits.

"I'm just kidding. This diary must be playing a game of words. It's probably saying that you will be killed by a ghost on the fourth day."

Li Mo had previously told Kanagawa Qimeng that after each night, a staircase leading to the next floor would appear, and the fourth floor corresponded to the fourth day.

"This is a good thing." Li Mo said lightly, as if he didn't care about his own death at all.

"Good thing? Will this guy lie?"

"will not."

"Is this a good thing? If the diary doesn't lie, then you will definitely die on the fourth day. Is that a good thing? You are such a strange person..."

From appearing out of nowhere to save her, to dealing with the endless paranormal phenomena in the haunted house with ease.

It was as if he knew the script in advance and could predict the future.

Could it be that the script was narrated to him by the diary?

Such an idea suddenly popped up in Kanagawa Qimeng's mind, but on second thought it didn't make sense.

Since Li Mo could give her the diary so openly and even demonstrate how to use it himself, it means that he is not too dependent on the diary, otherwise he would definitely hide it and use it secretly. This is human nature.

Who would be willing to share a life-saving good thing? Others will be jealous.

Kanagawa Qimeng stroked her delicate chin and said "hmm" thoughtfully.

She remembered Li Mo said "only this time", which meant that Li Mo did not use the diary very often and only used it at the most critical moments.

The answer in the diary is very one-sided and cannot be so specific.

But repeated use will definitely give you a more complete solution. Why not do that? The reason is very clear -

There is a price to pay.

She had previously asked Li Mo whether the diary would take anything from the user, and Li Mo replied that it would not.

But Li Mo did not answer her statement that she did not have the things that the diary had taken away.

Can't figure it out...

Why are things related to the supernatural so complicated...

"Dying on the fourth day means that my choices in the next three days were most likely correct."

"...Thirty-six divided by six, six is still six. Okay, okay, your brain really is unique. Dying on the fourth day means I won't die on the first three days, right?"

Li Mo did not explain further.

In fact, according to normal behavior, he would die on the fourth day. If he made wrong judgments and absurd decisions in the first three days, he would still die.

The notebook does not lie, but the predictions it states are not necessarily the predetermined future. It may just be a future that does not change under normal circumstances.

If everything goes well for the first three days, I will definitely die on the fourth day.

But on the contrary, if we can take effective actions to break the deadlock, we can change this future.

The premise is that this future can be changed. Some futures can be changed, but some cannot.

At exactly midnight, just as the knocking ghost was about to arrive, I ripped out my ear, puncturing my eardrum and damaging my hearing nerve. I repeated this over and over again until the knocking ghost finished knocking 32 times on the eighth room and left.

At seven minutes past midnight, the candles in all the rooms in the outer world went out, including the candle in my room. The knocking ghost once again arrived on the first floor.

【At 8:00 AM, Kanagawa Yume died.】

[At nine minutes past midnight, Kanagawa Yume died completely.]

【At 12:10 AM, I died.】

"What the hell, I can die twice?"

Kanagawa Qimeng said angrily, pointing to the crooked English letters on the first page of the notebook.

"That's not important." Li Mo replied calmly, "The key point is that all the candles in the room in the surface world went out. Your companions heard the sound of ghosts knocking on the door in our world. Then, the knocking ghost noticed the living people on the first floor and went to them, and the candles went out."

"Are there any consequences?"

"Without candles to suppress the ghosts in the haunted house and block out the breath of the living, everyone will die. You and I are no exception."

"Then what should we do? Wait to die? No, if we all die, then the diary's prophecy that you will die on the fourth day will not hold true."

"Because I won't sit and wait for death." Li Mo replied calmly.

Thinking about how to solve the troubles in the other world, the candles in the two worlds are connected. If the candles are extinguished, the inner and outer worlds will become a no-man's land where strange things are rampant.

After much thought, he could only think of one solution, which was feasible but not guaranteed to succeed.

Use "usurpation" to fully charge Kanagawa Yumu's phone and communicate with the living people in another world.

This plan seems good at first glance, but in fact it is full of loopholes and ignores human nature.

First of all, everyone must completely block their hearing. Not to mention being as brutal and thorough as Li Mo himself, at least they must ensure that no knocking sound can be heard.

There are still twenty-one people in the surface world. It is difficult to guarantee that everyone can do it. There will always be people who misinterpret the information during its transmission.

Secondly, even if everyone can do the above step, the question is, will they be willing to do it, or in other words, do they have the judgment and trust their own reminders?

You know, Kanagawa Kimu's phone ran out of battery and turned off not long ago, and the people in the supernatural department also knew this information.

At this time, Kanagawa Qimeng suddenly became active in the group again and said that her mobile phone was charged. How many people would believe it?

If it were Li Mo himself, he would not believe that the person on the other end of the phone was him.

There should be a chance to charge, and the phone will not be shut down and disconnected.

Li Mo dismissed the idea and continued to wait for the notebook to come up with a solution.

[My name is Li Mo. When you see this sentence, I will have died on the fourth day.]

At midnight, between the first and second days, I heard knocks on the door, but I didn't react. Instead, I patiently waited and listened carefully, memorizing how many times the knocks occurred in each room. I concluded that the knocks weren't a means of killing, but rather a means of awakening the ghosts in the room. The knocking ghosts would knock as many times as there were ghosts in the room.

[Based on this, there are three ghosts in the first room, one ghost in the second room, four ghosts in the third room... there are thirty-two ghosts in the eighth room, and no ghosts in the ninth room.]

[After the knocker knocked thirty-two times on the eighth room, I immediately opened the door, held Kanagawa Kimu's left hand with my right hand, left, closed the door, and walked into the corridor...]

At 12:07 AM, I saw a tall, dark figure appear outside the corridor, approaching me.

At 00:08 in the morning, I took Kanagawa Kimu's hand and quickly walked to the end of the corridor, to the door of the ninth room.

[At 00:09 in the morning, I let Kanagawa Kimu fall asleep.]

[At 12:10 AM, the knocking ghost stood motionless in front of Kanagawa Kimu and me.]

[At exactly one in the morning, the knocking ghost still maintained his previous behavior and did not make any changes.]

At exactly two o'clock in the morning, I kept a close eye on the knocking ghost's every move. Fortunately, it remained unresponsive. I tried to see its appearance, but saw nothing but a massive, dark figure. The strange pistol had little effect on it; it was a relatively complete ghost. If I'm right, there are ghosts on every floor that can continuously complete themselves.
