Weird collapse, chasing husband crematorium

This is not good news. People in the surface world cannot observe ghosts, but ghosts in the inner world can influence or even kill ghosts in the surface world.

This means that there is no way to fight back or perceive, and death comes in an instant.

Even when a ghost comes in front of them, the living are completely unaware and just walk towards it foolishly.

"Why don't you go to the Ninth Room? The Blood Newspaper warned against approaching the Ninth Room, but we went there last night. So there must be something in the Ninth Room that the Blood Newspaper is afraid of. Maybe it's its true form."

Kanagawa Qimeng put forward a bold idea, and then stood there quietly, waiting for Li Mo's answer.

She only dared to do this if Li Mo agreed.

"No."

Li Mo decisively rejected it without any hesitation.

"In addition to fulfilling the rules of 'pretending to be a ghost,' the two people who turned into ghosts were also standing at the door of the ninth room."

"Do you remember what you saw?"

Kanagawa Qimeng quickly recalled the scene at that time: "I remember it very clearly. A classmate stood at the end of the corridor, motionless, and another classmate was hiding behind her, overlapping her body, until I walked up to wake her up..."

Suddenly, Kanagawa Qimeng stopped talking and looked at Li Mo in surprise.

Li Mo stretched out his hand and pointed to where the knocking ghost was standing.

It is exactly the parallel line of the door of the ninth room.

"Here, the knocking ghost didn't go any further."

"Your classmate who fulfilled the rules and turned into a ghost also meets the phenomenon of being suppressed here."

"There is indeed something unknown in the ninth room, but it is definitely not the blood newspaper itself. It is not so important as to scare away the knocking ghost."

"There are too many unknowns. If you open it rashly, you may die on the spot."

Li Mo patiently expressed his views, and Kanagawa Qimeng felt a chill on her back after listening to it.

"Then last night we..."

"We came here holding hands, and I think being at the door is the limit."

If Kanagawa Qimeng had not met two rules last night, they might not have been able to reach the door of the ninth room alive.

Before Kanagawa Qimeng could recover from her shock, Li Mo grabbed her hand and walked towards the hall.

"We've finished checking the first floor. Aside from the drawings on the hall wall that seem to be connected to the bloody newspaper, we can't find any more useful clues in the outer world. It's time to head to the second floor."

"Ah."

The two walked to the stairs, and Li Mo climbed the steps first.

This is an ordinary staircase, which seems to be easily broken with just a little force.

But who knows if this haunted house has a "building destruction" rule that will kill you. The rewards are too small to be worth the risk.

The staircase is spiral and is 76 meters high.

After climbing for about two minutes, the two finally reached the second floor. The hall was empty except for some food scraps and luggage.

The layout of the second floor is no different from that of the first floor. It still has a central hall, a corridor, and nine rooms, and even the distribution is so even.

Without much hesitation, Li Mo walked to the picture on the wall of the hall. Just as he was about to reach out to verify his guess, he was interrupted by a scolding.

"Stop, don't touch anything here, do you want to kill us?"

Li Mo and Kanagawa Qimeng looked back and found that the head of the supernatural department was standing in the corner with an unhappy expression on his face, striding towards them.

"Don't touch anything in the haunted house, especially the hall. What if you wake up the other sealed ghosts? If someone dies, neither you nor I can be held responsible. Wouldn't it be better to just wait until nightfall and wake up after a good sleep? Don't you think it's selfish to take risks just because of your curiosity? It's so unfair to other law-abiding people."

Very standard rhetoric, who is responsible if something goes wrong?

It's selfish of you to do this and it's unfair to others.

Li Mo felt nothing after hearing this. He tried to understand these words, but found that their logic was full of flaws.

He was too lazy to refute because he had already guessed that it was the blood newspaper that instructed them to wait here.

Even if it's not stated explicitly, it's implied.

"Minister, we found a clue on the bloody newspaper, which may be related to this picture..."

Before Kanagawa Qimeng could finish speaking, the minister frowned, and several more people walked out from behind him and surrounded Li Mo and Kanagawa Qimeng.

"Don't worry about the bloody newspaper. We'll just use it to help us leave and then throw it away. It doesn't matter what it is."

"Even if we knew, what would be the use? We must use its power now, otherwise we won't know the rules of the next three floors."

"If you touch the things on the second floor, what if a ghost comes out and the blood-stained newspaper can't deal with it?"

Li Mo withdrew his hand. He no longer needed to touch it because the dust falling from his fingertips had already proved that the picture on the second floor was not the original one.

An unknown ghost, originally belonging to a picture, was locked on a blood-stained newspaper by an unknown law. It uses the power of deceiving people to help itself return to its original picture and complete itself.

I just don't know which picture is the real one. If I choose the wrong one, it would be a big trouble if I accidentally resurrected the ghosts in other pictures.

But with him around, the Blood Newspaper would never have the chance to make up for himself.

Li Mo is very cautious about this kind of intelligent monster.

"Kanagawa, go check out the guest room in the hallway."

Li Mo ignored the members of the Supernatural Department. They had been led by the blood newspaper and had lost their rational judgment. They had no opinions of their own and blindly followed others. Li Mo had no way to wake them up.

Even if he could, Li Mo didn't want to waste his time and energy.

He had a lot of things to do and had no time to argue with those who had given up thinking.

We must make adequate preparations before night falls, otherwise... the number of people who can survive tonight and reach the third floor can probably be counted on one hand.

"Room eight is full. You can pick any room from one to seven. No one lives there," said a member of the department.

"Yes, we all live in the eighth room, and it's full," another member added.

"..."

Kanagawa Qimeng was silent. This time she was silent for a long time, and the classmate in front of her looked increasingly unfamiliar.

Actually, it doesn’t matter if we occupy the room, but... why not share the information?

Is she so afraid that she and Li Mo are ghosts disguised as living people?

Even if it's just a little bit revealed... at least let her know that her classmates are still concerned about "Kanagawa Kimu's safety."

"It's okay, we'll stay in the second room."

Li Mo passed by the members of the Supernatural Department and walked straight towards the second room in the corridor.

Kanagawa Qimeng paused for a moment, then followed without saying a word as she passed by her classmates.

After entering the room, Li Mo closed the door and searched around every corner of the room with a thermometer.

The temperature on the thermometer still fluctuates between "0" and "1".

But Li Mo was very sure that there must be a ghost of unknown integrity in this room. If he didn't find it, when night came, he didn't know how long the candle could last, and it might go out in a second.

This demon must be driven out during the day.

"Kanagawa."

"Um……"

"You seem to be in a very low mood."

"A little, but it's okay. Tell me, what do you need me to do?"

Kanagawa Qimeng shook her head vigorously, cheered herself up, and looked at Li Mo with burning eyes, waiting for instructions.

"Take this thermometer and search the room. If nothing goes wrong, it should show a normal temperature of over 20 degrees. You need to carry the thermometer around the room, checking everything. Don't miss anything. If the temperature drops significantly, move the corresponding items out of the hallway."

"If it gets to zero or below, leave the room immediately and I will come get you."

"During this time, I will wait outside until you come out. You need to close the door...remain alone and comply with the rules of 'being alone'."

Li Mo stretched out his right hand and handed the thermometer to Kanagawa Qimeng.

When taking the thermometer away, Kanagawa Qimeng noticed the thermometer in Li Mo's hand, and the temperature displayed was "1°"...

If the temperature is below zero, you have to escape. Does that mean that the temperature below zero represents revived ghosts that can move?

Why is he "1°"?

"But if you're alone, won't you end up in another world? A world... a world full of ghosts and monsters."

Li Mo didn't hide it: "So this is a bit risky, because I'm not sure if I'll directly enter that world after triggering the "alone" rule during the day."

"But if the 'alone' rule is not triggered, we won't be able to observe the ghost in the room, and it will still die at night."

"The best scenario I can imagine is that you triggered the 'alone' rule. The rule is limited by its active time, so it didn't drag you into the other world, but you could observe the ghost's presence. Then, while the ghost is dormant during the day, you can bring it out of the room."

"There's only one ghost in the room."

Li Mo opened the door and walked out, but did not close the door immediately. Instead, he looked at Kanagawa Qimeng and observed her condition.

Kanagawa Qimeng did not disappoint him. Not only did she not feel fear, she did not even feel any unnecessary sadness or dissatisfaction.

"Don't you ask me why I don't do it myself?" Based on rationality, Li Mo believed that Kanagawa Qimeng would ask him why he didn't let him do it himself.

In her opinion, as a professional, it is obviously unreasonable to leave such matters to ordinary people.

From a common sense perspective, most people would think that he asked Kanagawa Kimu to do it on his behalf because he felt that this matter was too dangerous, although the facts are completely the opposite.

"I'll do whatever you say. A rookie needs to listen to the masters' instructions to win the game. I understand this very well~~"

"Goodbye then, Li Mo."

Kanagawa Qimeng smiled with relief, gave Li Mo a "yeah" gesture, then walked forward and closed the door with a "plop" sound, smoothly and effortlessly.

Li Mo stood there in a daze, and his right hand couldn't help but make the gesture that Kanagawa Qimeng had just made to him.

In memory and cognition, Li Mo found relevant meanings.

To commemorate and celebrate victory and success.

and express a happy, confident, and optimistic attitude.

But this depressing atmosphere should not allow for natural happiness, confidence, and optimism.

Because this trip may very likely lead to death.

So, she was hiding her loneliness and solitude.

"..."

"Incomprehensible."

Li Mo didn't understand why he did such a meaningless thing, but from the surface, at least Kanagawa Qimeng had a good psychological quality, so maybe she could really do it.

On the other side, after Kanagawa Qimeng closed the door, she could no longer hear any sound from the corridor.

Perhaps we have arrived in the other world. Fortunately, it is daytime now and relatively safe.

"Hmm...does this thing really work?"

Kanagawa Qimeng picked up the thermometer and looked it up and down curiously, feeling that it was just an ordinary thermometer.

"Forget it, just trust him."

Kanagawa Qimeng started to work, carefully checking every place in the room with a thermometer. If she was not tall enough, she would jump on the bed, even the ceiling was not spared.

After searching for twenty minutes, the thermometer still showed no change. It never dropped below twenty degrees, let alone zero or below zero.

"I'm so tired, let me rest for a while... No, no, no, now is not the time to rest, we have to find that ghost quickly!"

It's human nature to be lazy and slack off, but staying in a world full of ghosts is obviously not a good choice.

Kanagawa Qimeng cheered up and searched for another ten minutes, but still found nothing.

"So now all that's left is the bottom of the bed."

Kanagawa Qimeng swallowed and her throat moved.

Under the bed, the bed was too heavy to move, and she, a girl, definitely couldn't move it anyway.

This means you have to get down on all fours to check under the bed.

"I hope I don't see anything weird..."

The corners of Kanagawa Qimeng's mouth twitched a few times, and her left eyelid twitched. She always felt that something bad was going to happen.
