All seven candles have the ability to suppress ghosts to some extent, although it is not much.

"After all, they are just some weird things and cannot be compared with real ghosts."

The strange power of strange things has its limits after all, but ghosts are different. They are like immortal evil creatures that will never disappear.

After a long war of attrition, strange things will eventually come to an end, but ghosts will continue to thrive.

The knocking ghost is so complete that it is natural that the candles cannot suppress it. Perhaps, if the candles in all the rooms are gathered together... they can withstand the attack of the extremely complete ghost in the haunted house.

Li Mo secretly took note of this idea. If the high-rise building had the same layout, this idea might be able to save everyone's life.

After all, I'm staying on the second floor tonight, and the ghost will appear again at nine o'clock.

If he and Kanagawa Qimeng had not lured the knocker to the end of the corridor last night, all the members of the supernatural club in the surface world would probably have died.

Recovering his thoughts, Li Mo laid Kanagawa Qimeng flat on the ground, like burying a corpse, except that there was no coffin to seal the body.

Seven candles were placed beside her.

He immediately took out a strange pistol and lit the candles that were not yet burned out one by one.

The first candle was lit, and the eerie and dim candlelight shone on Kanagawa Qimeng's feet. Miraculously, the bloody handprints on her feet stopped appearing, the wounds no longer tore, and the scratches did not expand.

"it works."

Li Mo lit the second candle, and the candle flame flickered, shining on Kanagawa Qimeng's left hand, and her left hand was no longer harmed by the ghost in the dream.

Similarly, light the third candle on the right hand side, placing the right hand in the blessed area.

Li Mo adjusted the position of the fourth one and placed it on top of Kanagawa Qimeng's head.

Under the suppression of candlelight, the wound on the face no longer worsened, but the previous injuries had not healed. The candlelight did not have the ability to restore the body, it could only suppress the ghost's actions.

"It seems the ghosts in the dream are quite complete. A single candle can suppress a whole group of them, and it happens instantly, with almost no extra time to determine the conflict."

If rules conflict with each other, one side will inevitably have a higher degree of completeness and the other side will have a lower degree of completeness, but the conflict will not occur immediately. The smaller the difference in completeness, the longer the confrontation will last.

Just like the human-headed ghost and the ghost stomach, the human-headed ghost couldn't defeat the ghost stomach. But after consuming the three strange laws and abilities, it gained the capital to compete with the ghost stomach. It fell into dormancy at the same time as the ghost stomach, and only woke up three days later.

The candle can instantly suppress the ghosts in the dream, which proves that the ghosts in the dream are not as scary as the ghosts in the haunted house and cannot complete themselves.

At least not yet.

Li Mo picked up the fifth candle, pondered for a moment, and then placed it on Kanagawa Qimeng's heart and lit it.

In this way, Kanagawa Yumu's whole body was illuminated by candlelight, and the ghosts in the dream should be completely suppressed.

Five were enough, but he took two more.

Li Mo put the two extra ones back to their original positions, returned to Kanagawa Qimeng's side, and squatted down.

He pushed her shoulder and shouted coldly: "If you don't wake up, I will leave you here alone..."

Suddenly, something strange happened.

As soon as Li Mo finished speaking, Kanagawa Qimeng sat up with a somersault as if by reflex.

Beads of sweat the size of beans on his forehead slid down his scarred cheeks.

Kanagawa Qimeng was breathing heavily, covering her chest nervously, and her body was shaking violently.

"Just now I……"

"I know you met a ghost in your dream."

"How did you..."

Kanagawa Qimeng wanted to ask "How do you know?", but suddenly remembered that Li Mo did this. His judgment and analysis of various sudden supernatural events must be much better than that of ordinary people.

"Hiss... I feel pain all over my body. I didn't kill those damned little bastards, but they're like vengeful ghosts, and I didn't even provoke them!"

Kanagawa Qimeng said angrily that the expressions of the ghosts were as if she had brutally killed them, even though she had never even seen them.

"Ghosts don't care about the logic of living people, and weird things don't care about human logic." Li Mo explained simply.

"Weird? Is it an upgraded version of a ghost, the best among ghosts? The king of ghosts?" asked Kanagawa Qimeng.

Li Mo didn't confirm or deny it, and replied casually:

"A concept, it could be a ghost."

"Let's not talk about that for now. You should have heard the noisy noise in the hall. It has been going on since a while ago. I think we are now back in the surface world and your classmates are discussing in the hall."

Li Mo pointed to the opposite side at the end of the corridor. At this time, the faint and brilliant sunlight shone in through the cracks and windows, making the entire house look magnificent.

There were many luxuries that had not been taken away, and pictures that looked as if they could fetch a high price.

It looks like a peerless mansion.

But after what happened last night, no one probably cared about it. Everyone just thought it was a haunted house and wanted to escape as soon as possible.

"Well, do you... want to go with me?" asked Kanagawa Kimu.

"Of course, it was me, not you, who ordered them to extinguish the candles last night. Also, I need to remind them of some keys to survival. If they listen."

Li Mo took the responsibility directly.

Last night, a ghost entered the second room in the outer world. Li Mo was so angry that he asked the head of the supernatural department to blow out the candles and leave the ghost alone, which also meant that someone must have died that night.

The reason is very simple. When the people in the supernatural department realize that the classmate behind them is a real ghost, they will panic and flee in haste. In the chaos, ordinary people who are left alone will be killed instantly.

Until someone in the supernatural department woke up, immediately hid back in the room, lit a candle, and threw the ghost out while the suppression effect was still there.

But I don’t know how many people died.

Li Mo estimated the time it took for the candle to go out and reignite last night, and that two or three people should have died, with four at most.

"You might get into a little trouble once you get back to your companions."

"What trouble?"

"You'll know when we get there."

Li Mo strode forward. Under the threat of death, human trust suddenly collapsed like a burst dam.

He didn't want to explain too much, and the best option was to let the person involved experience it personally, which would save time and effort.

"That's not right. I look like this now..."

Kanagawa Qimeng looked at herself who looked like she had just emerged from a pool of blood. Her entire body was covered with wounds, and her thin clothes were stained red with blood.

For students who had rarely seen blood, Kanagawa Yume looked like she had just been locked up in a basement and tortured all night.

"Your classmates should have extra clothes. You can't keep this up all the time. It's a hassle for everyone."

"Ah."

Kanagawa Qimen also felt sticky all over and very uncomfortable, but she had to think of how to explain it quickly.

Soon, Li Mo brought Kanagawa Qimeng to the lobby on the first floor. After taking a look around, Li Mo confirmed that there were fifteen people in the lobby.

There are twenty-four people in the supernatural club, excluding the two people who turned into ghosts and Kanagawa Kimu, there are still twenty-one, so six died last night?

This was beyond Li Mo's expectations. According to him, the ghost could only kill two or three people at most, and it was impossible for it to kill six.

Unless someone is stupid.

"Minister, what does the blood newspaper say? Where is Qi Meng? When can we get out of this damn place?"

"Minister, let's leave quickly while it's still daylight! Since the door can't be opened, we can climb through the window! It's sunny outside, it must be safe!"

"What are you talking about? Didn't you see people dying outside? We can't leave until the black fog disappears!"

"You know shit, it's just bad luck. If you hadn't suggested coming here, I'd still be at home eating takeout and watching anime!"

"My fault? You were the first one to agree to prove that there were no ghosts in the haunted house. Now you're putting all the blame on me? Do you have any conscience?"

"Minister, you brought us here, you must protect our safety and bring us back successfully."

A loud quarrel echoed above the hall, and it was clear that the Supernatural Department was not so united.

With eight people dead and one missing, everyone became very anxious and unable to calm down and think.

The head of the Supernatural Department pressed his temples, bit his lip, and shouted, "Quiet! Quiet! The blood newspaper said that as long as we can reach the fifth floor, we can leave alive."

"Everyone has seen the videos on the supernatural forums before. As long as we follow the instructions on the blood newspaper, we will definitely be able to spend the second night safely..."

The director of the Supernatural Department herself had no confidence, but in order to appease people, she could only force herself to believe the strange blood-stained newspaper that appeared out of thin air on the portrait in the hall.

After watching the video on the supernatural forum, everyone gained more or less understanding of the second floor.

The blood newspaper provides many survival rules, but none of them are difficult.

Rule 1: You cannot leave the haunted house.

Rule 2: The room with a burning candle is safe. Just stay in the room at night and you can fall asleep peacefully until eight o'clock the next day and everything will be fine.

Rule three: You must be accompanied by someone when entering the room.

Rule Four: If the candles are shaking when you enter the room, you have violated Rule Three.

Rule Five: No one is allowed to enter the ninth room, not even near the door.

Rule 6: Don't hang around outside at night.

Rule Seven: Those who survive on the first floor should go up to the second floor as quickly as possible and go to the eighth room on the second floor. This is the key to survival.

"Yes, we still have blood newspapers! There's a clue! If you can survive the second day with the blood newspaper, you can use the same trick again on the third day."

"Minister, does the bloody newspaper have any other clues?"

The minister took out the bloody newspaper, which had a strong fishy smell, like blood or paint that had not yet dried.

The minister took a deep breath and asked carefully:

"Huh... I have something I want to ask you."

Soon, crimson words appeared on the bloody newspaper.

"Minister, there's something on the bloody newspaper!"

Everyone looked over attentively.

[Yuchuan Fengwan, I am you five days from now, and I am using this newspaper to tell you what will happen in the future.]

"Five days later? Minister, the blood newspaper said that the stairs leading to the first floor would appear every day. That means we only need to persist for four days to reach the fifth floor and then leave as the blood newspaper said!"

"That's great! The first day was so scary. With the blood-stained newspaper, the next few days should be much better. At least we won't be running around like headless flies like last night. If not..."

The person who was speaking suddenly shut up and remained silent about what happened in the second room last night.

[When you see this, I'll have already left the haunted house. Please trust me. I can take you and all the members of the Supernatural Club out of the haunted house safely...]

When everyone saw the response from the blood newspaper, they were overjoyed and showed joyful expressions.

The minister hesitated for a long time and finally asked another question.

"I need to confirm. Since you said you are my future self, you should be able to answer my question."

"I'm going to ask you now about my date of birth and my hobbies."

As you wished, you were born on November 1997, 11, and currently serve as the head of the paranormal club at Ryugasaki High School. However, your favorite thing isn't paranormal events, but reading novels. Kanagawa Kimu's online paranormal novels are your favorite.

"...The blood newspaper is right. It looks like this is the record I left for myself five days later."

"Isn't this better? Minister, you must get us out alive!"

Just as everyone was surrounding the head of the supernatural department, Li Mo walked out of the darkness with the blood-stained Kanagawa Qimeng.

Kanagawa Qimeng shouted loudly: "Buyer! It's me, Kanagawa Qimeng."

Suddenly, everyone turned around in shock and looked at Kanagawa Kimu in surprise.

Especially after seeing Kanagawa Qimeng covered in bruises, he subconsciously took a step back.

The minister had a complicated look in his eyes. After taking a deep breath, he mustered up the courage to step forward.

As a minister, it is natural for me to take the initiative to assume these responsibilities.

Including interrogating companions.

"Qimeng, how do you know that person yesterday was a ghost? Where were you last night? I didn't see you in any room in the haunted house, but this room is the only safe one."

"Why do you have so many injuries?"

"Also, who is this man?"

The minister's eyes were alert, with one hand behind his back.
