"I almost forgot! Sorry, I got a little carried away..."

Kanagawa Qimeng put down her hand, her expression still happy. Compared to the first day, she seemed much more relaxed on the second night after knowing the information in advance.

But Li Mo's eyes never left the door. He had a bad feeling.

No, it's not a hunch, to be precise, but a judgment.

The knocking ghost stayed at the door for too long... so long that Li Mo couldn't help but wonder if the knocking ghost had entered a judgment state.

Before and after knocking on the door of the first room, he did not stay for more than ten seconds.

In front of the second door, the knocker had already stayed for a minute, and Kanagawa Qimeng even completed a complete set of taunts.

"You really don't know how to knock on the door, so boring." Kanagawa Qimeng was about to say something teasing, but suddenly noticed something small flying towards her out of the corner of her eye. She subconsciously turned around and prepared to take a picture with both hands.

"Catch it!" Li Mo shouted louder than ever before.

Kanagawa Qimeng looked closely and found that the small thing flying towards her in the air was Li Mo's strange pistol, so she immediately walked forward in panic and grabbed it with both hands.

"Don't let the candle go out!"

Li Mo's unexpected order left Kanagawa Qimeng confused.

The next second, "Bang!"

There was a knock on the door and the candles in the room went out instantly.

For a moment, even Kanagawa Kimu didn't understand the situation.

"What's wrong? What happened?"

Kanagawa Qimeng asked hurriedly, but there was no response from Li Mo.

You have to know that Li Mo is right behind her, it is impossible for him not to hear these words.

"Squeak..."

In a panic, Kanagawa Qimeng suddenly heard the sound of a door opening...

The door is opened?!

Is the knock ghost coming in?

Kanagawa Qimeng bit her lip and raised the strange pistol with both hands, not pointing it at the ghost knocking on the door, but at the vast darkness.

There was no time for her to take out her cell phone to light up the room. She felt the breath of death enveloping her whole body.

At the last moment, the only thing in Kanagawa Qimeng's mind was Li Mo's sudden reminder: "Don't let the candle go out."

With superb marksmanship and extraordinary memory, Kanagawa Qimeng pulled the trigger, and the bullet jumped out of the barrel and accurately brushed the cotton thread of the candle.

The netherworld fire instantly ignited the candles, and the room was bright again.

"call……"

Kanagawa Qimeng could already feel cold sweat on her back, and when she raised her head, she encountered a scene that she would never forget.

The knocking ghost was less than half a meter away from her, staring at her strangely and grotesquely.

The candles in the corridor outside had been extinguished, but for some unknown reason, the Knocker did not enter the room.

No, it was ready to enter, but it just didn't succeed.

Kanagawa Qimeng felt a little scared. If she had hesitated a little longer, the knocking ghost would have come in.

Kanagawa Qimeng immediately closed the door to isolate the knocking ghost outside.

The candles in the room are not affected by the knocking ghost, probably because the knocking ghost has not entered the room yet. If it came in, the candles in the room would probably be extinguished instantly.

Can……

Why did the candle in the room suddenly go out?

Could it be that……

Kanagawa Qimeng immediately turned around and looked at Li Mo behind her.

I only caught a glimpse of the cascading hair covering the floor, as white as snow and without a speck of dust.

Outside the transparent window, the black fog was vaguely penetrated by a ray of bright moonlight, shining on Li Mo.

"Li Mo?"

Kanagawa Qimeng asked tentatively.

"Shoot...left hand..."

Li Mo lowered his head and weakly uttered two words.

Kanagawa Qimeng did not get close to Li Mo because she was not sure whether Li Mo's current condition would threaten her. For a fragile shooter, it is better to keep a safe distance and be alive to output.

Of course, all of this is based on the fact that Kanagawa Kimu is an excellent marksman.

The strange pistol was pointed at Li Mo's left hand, and without any delay, the bullet shot into Li Mo's left hand.

The blue-purple netherworld fire burned violently, almost engulfing Li Mo's entire body, with no sign of disappearing.

"Are you... okay? Do you want me to help you put out the fire?" Kanagawa Qimeng asked worriedly.

"No, you can't put out this fire. I'm much better now..."

Li Mo's tone was weak, not as sonorous, sharp and decisive as before.

"What happened just now? I called you and you didn't respond."

“…The demon inside me has revived.”

Li Mo calmly stated the facts.

"Resurrection? Wait, knocking on the door can awaken dormant ghosts. You mean..."

"As you thought, you should be thankful that you fired decisively. If you had been a step slower and hadn't lit the candle, not only would the knocking ghost have killed you, but the ghost in my body would have revived and you would have died too."

"Can……"

"I know you have a lot of questions to ask. I do have a lot of ghosts in me. The knock on the door awakened them."

Li Mo stood up with difficulty, his body still burning from the netherworld fire.

Under the candlelight, the netherworld fire quickly extinguished, because the burning candle was also helping to suppress the ghost in Li Mo's body. Soon Li Mo regained control of his body and full consciousness.

In fact, he and Kanagawa Kimu were almost doomed to die just now.

The knock on the door awakened the ghost in his body and the strange consciousness hidden in his soul.

Originally, I would become weird immediately without any chance to buffer.

The ghost's consciousness will conflict with the human consciousness, and the confrontation will last for a certain period of time.

But the rule of ghost knocking on the door directly skips this process and allows the ghost's consciousness to replace human consciousness.

Therefore, at that moment, Li Mo fell into silence. Fortunately, the doom ghost lurking in his sea of consciousness issued a sharp, piercing and vicious curse, allowing him to retain his consciousness for a moment.

Consciousness fights against consciousness, laws fight against laws.

This gave Kanagawa Kimu time to shoot.

"It was my mistake this time. You did a good job."

Li Mo said to Kanagawa Qimeng, although his words were cold, there was still no warmth in them.

Kanagawa Qimeng did not ask about the fact that there was something wrong with him. Li Mo did not tell her about it, so naturally he did not want to mention it. There was no need for her to embarrass herself.

"The knocking ghost stood outside the door waiting for a long time, making a judgment. Finally, it judged me as a ghost and knocked on the door."

"It doesn't make sense that a knocker would enter a room after the candles in the house went out... I didn't hear it knocking on the door and then entering the room last night, so this is worth paying attention to."

Even before his body healed, Li Mo had already begun analyzing the details of the thrilling scene.

Kanagawa Qimeng lowered her eyes to glance at the white hair on the ground, "By the way, don't you take care of your hair first?"

Li Mo was stunned for a second, and found that the floor was full of snow-white hair. He walked silently to the window, and a ray of moonlight shone on the place where he was just now.

Can it even penetrate the black fog?

Li Mo overlapped the bedside tables to block the window and block the moonlight.

"That's all, no need to deal with it."

"But... we might be in a bit of trouble tomorrow. I've lost some of my ghost power, so please be careful. I might not be able to remedy the situation in time."

Guiya's left hand fell silent, and Li Mo lost the "usurpation". The suppression of the Nether Fire would remain for a while, and during this period of time, the "usurpation" would be useless.

There are only three bullets left in the strange pistol. The third floor is definitely more dangerous. Three bullets are far from enough, but there is no better way.

From the moment you enter the haunted house, you can only move forward and there is no way to retreat.

"At least we're still alive tonight." Kanagawa Qimeng comforted her, and took the initiative to walk to Li Mo and touch his chest and arms. "It's colder than before. Can't it be warmer?"

"Can not do it now."

"Okay...if you're cold, I can take off my coat and give it to you."

"I'm not sensitive to temperature changes. Just wear it yourself."

Li Mo's answer gave Kanagawa Qimeng a definite answer in his heart. His body suddenly became warm before, which was probably the ability of the ghost in his body.

"Crack...knock..."

The knocker left the room and walked towards the third room.

Then came the fourth room, the fifth room... Finally, the knocking ghost stood in front of the door of the eighth room and slowly raised his arm that was as rotten as a dead tree.

Eigenworld, cabins for rent.

"I found you!"

"..."

"Who did you find? Was I just...talking in my sleep?"

Kiana, who woke up from the bed, felt very strange when she saw her right hand stretched out inexplicably. She seemed to have had a dream and saw the idiot named "Li Mo".

"No, no, no, no!"

"How could I possibly dream about him? My previous dreams were all about Mei!"

Kiana shook her head desperately, and her loose hair became even more messy and longer.

Kiana covered her head with the quilt, wanting to dream again to prove her devotion to Mei, but she felt restless inside and had no desire to sleep at all.

I opened my phone and saw that it was one in the morning, still early for school.

"Ahhh! I can't sleep. As expected, waking up in the middle of the night is never a good thing. Forget it, I might as well get up and play games. At worst, if I get sleepy during the day, I can just go to Mei's dorm and sleep during class."

"Yeah, it's decided! Wash your face first."

Kiana lifted the thin quilt, revealing her flawless, milky white skin, her face flushed, her pretty face as frosty, and she pouts.

The delicate half-hung strap next to the collarbone makes the clothes droop like a mimosa when touched.

He walked towards the bathroom without wearing shoes, barefoot on the floor.

Turning on the faucet, Kiana caught a puddle of water with both hands and splashed it on her face.

"Ha...much more awake."

Kiana showed a happy and relaxed expression and turned to walk towards the living room. She was going to have a night of exciting competitive games! The feeling of being chased by the King of Hell while still asleep was so fascinating~

"..."

Kiana in the mirror had a dead look on her face. She stretched out her right hand to touch the mirror, and her scarlet eyeballs were as strange and gorgeous as a pool of crimson blood.

She stared at Kiana intently.

Until Kiana left the bathroom.

Chapter 16 The Recovering Heart

The stars and the moon are bright, the night sky is dim, and the evening breeze gently knocks on the door lintels and windows, blowing open the curtains.

Kiana sat on the ground, holding the controller in both hands, staring intently at the game character on the screen.

While operating the machine with my hands, my mind couldn't help but recall the stupid fool I used to be during the day.
