On the first floor is a humanoid spider with a hairband as its main form, while on the second floor is a tall, dark figure whose true form is unknown. The former seizes the consciousness and wisdom of living people, while the latter seizes the integrity of ghosts.
At exactly seven in the morning, the knocking ghost moved. It faced Kanagawa Qimeng and me, and slowly retreated step by step.
[At exactly eight o'clock in the morning, the knocking ghost left, but Kanagawa Yume was still asleep. I survived.]
"..."
Li Mo stared at the contents and fell into deep thought. Rarely, he couldn't figure out what the notebook wanted him to do from the words between the lines.
Could it be that the notebook believes that without enough information, it will die anyway, so it simply points out a way to survive?
"Emm... I say, you're not trying to take advantage of me by using the diary, are you?"
"Why are you holding my hand? What does it have to do with fighting ghosts? You have to explain clearly, I, Kanagawa Qimeng, am a virgin. The last time someone tried to take advantage of me, he was in the ICU for a long time."
After saying that, Kanagawa Kimu showed off her arms. They were not strong, and even looked a little thin as if she was malnourished.
"I promise to agree to one condition of yours. When this is over, I will satisfy whatever you want."
Kanagawa Qimeng was stunned and shouted in panic, "Are you serious?"
"I am serious."
Li Mo, who has lost most of his emotions, no longer knows what tact is. He only needs to get the other party to agree, and if they don't agree, he will force them to agree.
There are many ways to do this, but if possible, he wants to resolve the issue amicably with the parties involved.
"you……"
Kanagawa Qimeng dragged out the last syllable.
"You're such a fool, haha! You've never even held a girl's hand, have you? How pathetic! Is holding hands really that solemn? Okay, okay, consider this your reward for saving me. Just don't cross the red line and be restrained. I think you're actually a pretty good person."
Chapter 11 Nightmare (6k)
Kanagawa Qimeng was laughing and looking like a small fry. She took Li Mo's right hand into her own hands out of consideration for his pride. The moment they touched, her whole body trembled uncontrollably.
This guy's hands are too cold!
Kanagawa Qimeng trembled all over, as if she was touching a piece of cold ice from the far north.
Li Mo couldn't understand Kanagawa Qimeng's sense of humor, and didn't want to explain too much.
Holding hands? Judging from human ethics, he has obviously done more things that touched or even crossed the moral red line.
Something as trivial as holding hands should never be brought to the public eye.
However, Li Mo did not say it. As long as the result is achieved, the process is not important, and other people's opinions and evaluations are even less important.
He doesn't need an explanation, nor does he want one.
"Bang...bang...bang..."
The heavy footsteps on the roof suddenly stopped, followed by a crisp, faint knock on the door.
The Knocking Ghost has started knocking on the door to wake up the ghosts inside the house.
In this situation, there is only one way to survive the next day, which is to find a way to control the ghost in the house and throw it out. As long as the people in the house are not alone and the candles in the house keep burning, they are safe.
Therefore, the most suitable room for living people to survive is the second room, not the eighth room revealed by the bloody newspaper.
The blood newspaper deliberately let the members of the Supernatural Department enter the eighth room. I'm afraid... just like the humanoid spider, he wanted to kill them and then take away their wisdom.
The only difference is that the humanoid spider can do it by itself, while the blood-stained newspaper and notebook can only lure living people into their carefully laid traps through methods such as temptation.
Of course, it is not ruled out that I am overthinking it. In fact, there are some secrets in the eighth room, which may be the key to survival.
If it were not so, then even if the thirty-two ghosts in the eighth room were incomplete and in their most bizarre state, I would not dare to approach them, let alone a group of ordinary people who were completely unaware of the situation.
"emmm..."
Kanagawa Qimeng looked at Li Mo curiously, whose eyes were focused on the source of the sound above his head. His cloudy eyeballs moved slowly with the sound of footsteps, and the muscles on his face were motionless like a frozen corpse.
Layer after layer of frost as thin as a cicada's wing appeared on the skin, and the biting cold continued to spread, so much so that Kanagawa Qimeng's mouth couldn't help but twitch a few times.
Kanagawa Qimeng knew very well that Li Mo was thinking about some information, so she was very sensible and did not interrupt his thoughts.
As a bad girl who doesn't fit in with the group, she actually knows her limits. She knows when to make jokes to liven up the atmosphere, and when to remain silent.
"hiss……"
But it’s really cold…
Kanagawa Qimeng tried to break away several times, but she didn't want to lose face for Li Mo. She had just made some ambitious statements.
But suddenly, she saw Li Mo raise his left hand and then put it down.
In an instant, the piercing pain in her right hand no longer existed, at least in terms of her physical sensation.
Strangely, the surface of Li Mo's left arm was covered with a thick layer of white frost, and his skin was swollen and purple from the cold.
"It's time to go. I don't want to hear you regretting your decision halfway."
Li Mo said to Kanagawa Qimeng very calmly.
Is it a request? But there's no command in the tone; is it a plea? But there's no begging in the slightest.
Kanagawa Qimen was very puzzled as to why some people could communicate with others without any physical or subconscious movements. Those who claimed that they didn't care about the opinions of others, as long as they were still human, could not completely get rid of human instincts.
But Li Mo seemed to have escaped from this human law and was very indifferent.
Is this the professional person sent by the Far East Government or the United Nations to deal with supernatural events?
Well, there are indeed many things in this world that ordinary people don’t know.
Kanagawa Qimeng carefully memorized Li Mo's every word, action, speaking style, expression and attitude, and wrote them down in a notebook after confirming that he was safe. This was a rare material.
"Don't worry, I hate bad teammates when I play games, especially those CS players who are so bad they don't even know they're bad and won't give up until I show them a screenshot of my rank. Well, there are some idiots who just talk big. I guess if they die suddenly one day and are sent to the crematorium, their mouths will still be hard even after half an hour of burning."
Kanagawa Qimeng teased, and took the initiative to walk forward and open the door of the room without showing any fear at all.
He put his own weight on Li Mo, and after using the force, he even got half a body length ahead of Li Mo.
It was as if she was the one who kept Li Mo alive.
It's just that the jumping posture is a little funny, like a newborn swan hatchling, swaying from side to side as it walks.
"It's coming."
Li Mo looked back and saw a tall black shadow appear outside the corridor, walking towards him and Kanagawa Qimeng at a slow pace.
This ghost, which is suspected to be extremely complete, is actually only the BOSS on the second floor. How terrifying are the ghosts above the second floor?
This idea appeared in Li Mo's mind half a second and then quickly extended.
"Kanagawa, don't leave this haunted house within five days, or I won't let you go."
"Huh? Why? Didn't you just say you'd send me and my classmates out of the haunted house at 8 o'clock this morning?"
Kanagawa Qimeng was puzzled by Li Mo's sudden change of mind, but after spending some time together, her intuition told her that Li Mo was not the kind of person who made decisions on a whim, and his judgments must have a basis.
"I'm afraid the black fog won't disappear. It means the world outside will be in eternal darkness."
"Any questions?"
"This is the time when the ghosts in the haunted house are most active. There are some things I can't explain to you clearly. You just need to know that we are in danger inside the haunted house, but at least there is still a glimmer of hope because the ghosts are suppressed. If we leave the haunted house, the ghosts will be free of suppression and can easily trigger their own laws to kill living people."
A knocking ghost that can withstand five bullets from a strange pistol must be very complete and must possess many rules.
However, not only did turning back not trigger the pattern, but even making sounds, breathing, being in the dark, and looking at it did not cause it to show any signs of attack.
This is obviously not reasonable.
The contents of the notebook and the cases Li Mo encountered personally gave Li Mo a key piece of information: the knocking ghost should not be confronted head-on.
It does possess many rules and abilities, and a head-on confrontation would surely lead to death, even if one were to die again.
But it can only kill itself under one situation, which is the "alone" rule on the first floor.
Therefore, the rules on each floor seem to be intended to kill living people, but in fact they are intended to protect living people.
Full of contradictions, yet reasonable.
This not only reminded Li Mo of the auditorium in St. Freya College.
For the living, the rule that opening the door will lead to death is almost inevitable, because if they want to complete the ceremony and avoid the attack of ghosts, they can only enter the auditorium.
But the auditorium has no door, or perhaps the door has been destroyed by someone, so living people can easily enter and exit without triggering the rule that opening the door will result in death.
The human-headed ghost cannot sense the existence of the auditorium, so it doesn't matter whether there is a door or not.
The layout of the haunted house is exactly the same.
If the workmanship of the St. Freya College auditorium is impossible to trace, then the owner of the haunted house should be able to find relevant information.
Who is the owner of the haunted house?
Someone who knows something strange? Or... me in a parallel world?
"Why are you standing there? He's almost catching up!"
Kanagawa Qimeng pulled the dazed Li Mo, and after he came to his senses, Li Mo nodded, took Kanagawa Qimeng's hand and supported her injured body as they walked towards the end of the corridor.
As the notebook predicted, at eight minutes past midnight, Kanagawa Yume and he walked to the end of the corridor, to the door of the ninth room.
The door of the ninth room was blocked by layers of cold chains. If the owner of the haunted house really left a way for the living as Li Mo guessed,
Then He must have had a purpose for sealing the ninth room.
According to the behavior of the knocking ghost, there is no ghost in the ninth room.
Because the knocker did not knock on the door of the ninth room.
Of course, it is also possible that there is no ghost in the ninth room on the second floor, which does not mean there is no ghost in the first floor. Li Mo is not so stupid as to open it.
Even if it must be opened, it must be done after most of the ghosts in the daytime haunted house have fallen silent.
Wait until you are about to die before opening it.
Li Mo made a secret decision in his heart.
"Go to sleep. According to the plan given in the notebook, you should be sleeping now."
Li Mo and Kanagawa Qimeng were holding hands. He had previously used "Usurpation" to modify the surface temperature of his right hand, but the price he paid was to experience the feeling of his left hand falling into an ice cave dozens of degrees below zero.
Li Mo didn't show any expression, but he could still feel the pain.
However, when he is in a rational state, he rarely uses human perspectives on gains and losses to make judgments and decisions.
"How can I sleep? It's so cold here, and there's no pillow. You can't let me sleep on the cold ground, right? With my habit, I might wake up after only half an hour."
Kanagawa Yumeng was not exaggerating when she said this. She often slept in class, so she knew her true situation very well.
I slept without a blanket on a cold, hard object, such as leaning against a wall or on a table, for about half an hour, and would wake up naturally when the get out of class was almost over.
It's become a habit.
Kanagawa Qimeng answered truthfully because she didn't want to disrupt the diary's prophecy because of her bad habits. What if she woke up in the middle of the diary and made the knocking ghost in front of her move? Wouldn't that be the end of her?
"It doesn't matter."
Li Mo quickly took off his coat and wrapped it around Kanagawa Qimeng. He sat on the ground, leaned his back against the wall, and held Kanagawa Qimeng in his arms.
Use "Usurpation" again in the middle to change the surface temperature and softness of the whole body.
For a moment, Li Mo was like a walking furnace, bringing endless warmth to his body.
"Sleep on me."
"I won't catch a cold."
Li Mo's tone was flat and his voice was cold.
Kanagawa Qimeng was stunned for two seconds, then she pouting and did as Li Mo said without saying a word.
It's warm, not cold at all.
Whether it is the coat that covers the whole body or the warm and soft body behind her, it provides Kanagawa Qimeng with a comfortable sleeping environment.
only……
Kanagawa Qimeng glanced at Li Mo behind her. His collarbone under his exposed neck and the surrounding skin were covered with a layer of frost that looked very thorny.
Even though the body is constantly losing heat, the skin has changed from bluish-gray to purple-red, which is a direct reflection of the color of flesh after freezing.
"Usurpation" is the incomplete part of "Making a Wish", but they have one thing in common: both are fair.
