However, "usurpation" can only take away things that exist in memory and is subject to certain restrictions; while "making a wish" can make any wish come true as long as the person concerned can afford the price.
Even bringing the dead back to life is not a problem, but it is not as simple as exchanging one life for another, and no one can do it.
Resurrection with the help of strange power... is difficult.
Once dead, they are dead. The person who is resurrected may not be the same person as before.
"Well……"
Kanagawa Qimen let out a faint groan and adjusted her posture. For some reason, she didn't feel tired or exhausted at all. She even wanted to observe the person behind her more closely.
But the sudden sleepiness enveloped her consciousness like a fog, blocking all her perceptions.
Gradually, her vision returned to darkness and she could no longer hear a single sound.
Do not……
And the sound...
Yes……
——The sad lament of countless people.
Her body began to dissolve, turning into a pool of blood, which then condensed into a damp, bright red white rose.
Cold, painful, and polarized emotions clung to her like maggots on her tarsal bones.
Blood was dripping from her body. She was in a filthy and messy pool, surrounded by one pale person after another, their feet off the ground, their faces hideous, and they raised their hands, pointing their dry and skinny index fingers at her.
Step by step, he kept approaching her.
"sorry Sorry……"
"Sorry……"
While Kanagawa Qimeng was sleeping, her face showed an uncontrollable expression of fear, her whole body was trembling, and she looked very painful.
Li Mo pondered for a long time, quietly watching Kanagawa Qimeng speak like a dream.
She had a nightmare in this haunted house.
It is not strange to have nightmares. For an ordinary person, it is normal to have nightmares after encountering all kinds of bizarre things.
The problem is that this is a haunted house, and Kanagawa Kimu's speed of falling asleep is obviously unreasonable, as if...
It was as if something in the dream had forcibly pulled her into it.
Instinct made Li Mo alert, and some guesses that needed to be verified emerged in his mind.
Suddenly, the knocking ghost moved, and Li Mo's attention was immediately focused on the tall black shadow in front of him.
If the knocking ghost is not suppressed, only death will await Li Mo.
Li Mo subconsciously held Kanagawa Qimeng's hand tightly, and the knocking ghost fell into silence again, like a machine that had broken down, motionless.
He constantly observed the ghost's every move, and just as the notebook had predicted, the ghost still didn't react. Even though Li Mo tried his best to see the ghost's appearance, he saw nothing except a huge black shadow.
It was as if the black shadow was its true body.
However, Li Mo did not give up. The notebook said that just because he couldn't see what was hidden under the tall body of the knocking ghost, it didn't mean he couldn't see the shadow under his feet.
The candle outside the ninth room was still burning. This time, Li Mo saw the shadow under the feet of the knocking ghost.
"Ok?"
"The figure of a living person."
Perhaps due to the candlelight and his own perspective, in Li Mo's eyes, the shadow of the knocking ghost was not as tall and mighty as it was in reality.
He is about the same size as an ordinary person, not fat, but rather a little thin, as if he is malnourished.
It is hard to imagine that the knocking ghost, which is three meters tall and two meters wide, has such a small shadow under the light. It is a thin figure just over one meter tall, and it seems that apart from the human skeleton, there is only a piece of skin left.
"..."
"This ghost actually has a complete shadow?"
Li Mo suddenly realized something, raised his head and looked at the knocking ghost again. After thinking for a long time, he suppressed his curiosity and did not try it. Now was not the time to investigate the origin of the knocking ghost.
He is not a seagull and still has a chance to escape.
If the temptation fails and the knocking ghost revives, he will surely die.
If he separated from Kanagawa Kimu's hand, or left the door of the ninth room, he would die on the spot, with no room for retaliation and no chance of easing up.
"Sorry……"
The weak female voice sounded again, and Li Mo noticed that the arc of Kanagawa Qimeng's body shaking was getting bigger and bigger, and it was no longer just fear.
"wrong."
Li Mo used his free hand to tear open Kanagawa Qimeng's clothes and found a scarlet handprint where her neck and collarbone met.
"besides."
The back, arms, waist, calves... all had bloody handprints that shouldn't have appeared.
"She encountered a ghost in her dream. Is this what the "sleep" law refers to? Once a living person falls asleep, they will encounter a ghost in their dreams."
In dreams, strange things cannot be brought in. Even if ghosts can control dreams, the living people in them will be like trapped beasts fighting desperately, and will have no way out but death after being toyed with at will.
"Even I, in my dreams, may be no different from ordinary people."
"But in my current state, I wouldn't feel sleepy even if I didn't sleep for a few months. Unless I trigger a sleep pattern, I will never get into this situation."
“But we still need to think about countermeasures.”
The night was long and there was no danger at the moment, so Li Mo had enough time to think about how to deal with the known crisis.
He would not be arrogant enough to think that he would not fall asleep. No one could guarantee that. In order to survive, he had to think carefully.
"Do you need to wake her up?"
Li Mo hesitated for a moment.
"Now is not the time."
Li Mo remembered the prediction in the notebook very clearly: [At exactly 8 o'clock in the morning, the knocking ghost left, Kanagawa Qimeng was still asleep, and I survived.]
Kanagawa Yume's deep sleep is most likely part of the Knocking Ghost's downtime, and it cannot be easily broken.
At eight o'clock in the morning, the strange phenomena should stop, and he will be alive then.
"But the notebook didn't say she would survive, so I had to do something."
"Whether it's based on emotional rewards or rational pursuits."
"I need to figure out why she could die twice for me, and...why the 'sleeping' pattern that seems to be on the second floor appears on her on the first floor."
Li Mo began to think about how to rescue Kanagawa Qimeng after eight o'clock.
The first choice is definitely to use external stimulation, such as shouting and pain, to stimulate her to wake up. If that doesn't work, then we can only ask the notebook.
Li Mo didn't dare to "usurp" and take back a person's consciousness, because it might directly erase his consciousness.
"What did you see in your dream?"
Li Mo stared at the handprints that kept appearing on Kanagawa Qimeng's body and muttered. Soon, even bloody handprints appeared on her delicate face.
No, more than just handprints.
"Real blood and wounds."
Li Mo used his left hand to touch the shocking scratches on Kanagawa Qimeng's face. It was like a beast brutally and recklessly digging its claws into her cheek, and then swung it down with force. The flesh and blood inside were instantly blurred, and you could vaguely see the white bones and flesh exposed.
"She hasn't recovered... That shouldn't be the case. Judging from her past deeds, she has some secrets I don't know about."
"I judged she was a ghost, or a ghost was inside her."
"But if it's as I imagined, the wound should be healing quickly by now."
Li Mo stared for a long time, but still saw no signs of healing. Instead, the scratches on his face became deeper.
Soon, Kanagawa Qimeng was completely unrecognizable, and her whole body turned into a pool of flesh and blood that looked like mud.
"The ghost in the dream started killing people. The damage suffered in the dream will be fully reflected in the real body, and it is ineffective to heal?"
Li Mo thought of this, and in order to verify it, Li Mo quickly took off the black and white high-top shoes that Kanagawa Qimeng was wearing, and found that the wound on the ankle was still there.
Therefore, she had no ability to heal from the beginning to the end, and there was no way to confirm whether the ghost killing people in dreams ignored the law of healing.
"Never mind that for now. She can't die yet."
Li Mo stretched out his left hand and immediately used "Usurpation", restoring Kanagawa Qimeng's body to the intact state he remembered a few hours ago, and even healed the wound on her ankle.
The price he paid was that Li Mo's entire body began to rot, and severe pain spread from his head to his heels, from his skin to his internal organs.
Tearing, gnawing, trampling, squeezing...
It was as if countless pairs of cold hands were destroying and torturing his body in the most brutal and vicious ways.
"Is this the feeling she experienced in her dream?"
Li Mo had a blank expression on his face as he calmly stared at the body that was twisting and breaking all over.
Having died three times, he has a very strong healing ability. These injuries are not fatal at all. It doesn't matter if someone shoots his head with a Gatling gun.
However, the strange pistol hit the head and killed him.
So Li Mo would try his best to keep one bullet for himself, as this was his last chance to restart on his own initiative.
And you must hit the head, not the heart.
If the heart is hit, the consciousness will not dissipate, but if the head is pierced, the consciousness will instantly return to nothingness and restart immediately.
This follows the general principle in FPS games that headshots do more damage than heart shots.
"here we go again."
Kanagawa Yumu's body continued to break down.
Li Mo did not use "Usurpation" to repair her body immediately, but only used "Usurpation" when she was seriously injured and about to die.
Every additional use of the strange power derived from the strange bud will result in more contamination.
If he uses it without restraint, he will lose his third chance to restart.
Just like the resurrection skill in the game that requires MP to release, other skills also consume MP, but there is only so much MP. After consuming too much MP on other skills, there will be no extra mana bar to use the resurrection skill.
The amount of pollution incurred by using "Usurpation" is proportional to the target level of the Usurpation.
Chapter 12 Suspicion (7k)
Compared to his own situation in Taixu Mountain, he usurped the strange ability of the stove for ten minutes and obtained the permanent "one of the strange original laws".
The cost of repairing a living person's body is child's play.
Li Mo raised his head and saw that the knocking ghost had disappeared into the corridor and was at the door of the haunted house.
Like a spirit, it ignored the obstruction of the door of reality and went straight through, returning to the mysterious black fog and disappearing.
At eight o'clock in the morning, most of the spookiness in the haunted house fell silent.
"The knocking ghost has left, it's time to wake up Kanagawa."
Li Mo pinched Kanagawa Qimeng's nose, but after pinching for a long time, Kanagawa Qimeng didn't wake up, so he had to give up.
"Is the consciousness trapped in a dream?"
Scars continued to appear on her body. Although they were not serious, they continued to accumulate and Li Mo had no choice but to use "Usurpation" to keep Kanagawa Qimeng alive.
This was definitely not a good choice. If he overused his strange powers, it would be difficult for him to survive the following night.
You must leave yourself enough room for error.
Li Mo glanced at the candle outside the wall of the ninth room, which had burned out.
It had burned out in the middle of the night, but the knocking ghost still did not attack.
The ninth room, holding hands, and Kanagawa's sleep were three reasons that prevented the knocking ghost from attacking. It is unknown which one it was, but perhaps all of them were involved.
But the candles in the other rooms were not burned out; they were simply extinguished by the approach of the Knocking Ghost.
"Hopefully useful."
Li Mo took out the candles outside the seven rooms on the first floor, leaving one room with a complete candle just in case.
