Weird collapse, chasing husband crematorium

But Li Mo did not answer immediately, because he was almost deceived in Taixu Mountain, so he was extremely cautious about the truth of this kind of sound transmitted through strange media.

No answer is the best answer.

If it was the real Hua, then he would definitely understand why he remained silent.

Sure enough, after Hua didn't hear Li Mo's voice, she took the initiative to describe the situation on her side.

"Mo, it's three o'clock in the afternoon on the third day."

"I'm in Nanfeng City, the closest city to you. Black fog has enveloped the entire city. Every evening at eight o'clock, many ghostly figures appear in the fog, killing people very efficiently."

"But it's still within my control. I've gained 'Him''s' power, and I can temporarily use strange powers to fight them. On the first day, I almost dealt with all the ghosts, at least preventing them from waking up for a short period of time."

"But since the second day, the number of ghosts has far exceeded imagination. They are no longer limited to the night, but can also appear during the day, and they have a complete pattern. However, they are very ordinary, and their killing methods are simple."

"Please rest assured, this call won't harm you, and you haven't triggered the law of certain death. The reason I can call you is because I modified the cognition of a telephone ghost. I used its ability to call you, but it can only be used once."

"The current situation is not optimistic. I estimate that within two days at most, the ghosts in the black fog will completely emerge from the fog and descend into the world. By then, I think I will be unable to deal with it even if I am willing."

"How's it going over there? Are you... okay?"

Without rushing to prove himself, Hua first told Li Mo all the general information. In the end, he did not prove his identity, but asked a question with concern.

As a result, Li Mo let down his guard a lot.

This speaking style and habit almost certainly belongs to Hua himself.

Combined with Gui Hua's cognitive modification, Hua is indeed capable of doing such a thing.

However, Li Mo speculated that it would not last long. When humans and ghosts fight against each other, humans will be the losers in the end. It is just a matter of time.

Hua obtained some of Guihua's abilities, but it is absolutely impossible for him to use them for a long time and on a large scale.

But... Li Mo still has some doubts and confusions.

So Li Mo asked, "I'm only halfway through this. It will take two more days to completely resolve it. I'm in very poor condition, and this is my last chance."

After hearing Li Mo's reply, Hua on the other end of the phone was silent for a long time.

The last chance is only half over.

"..."

"I came to see you." Hua said.

"It's useless. Even if you enter the haunted house now, you'll be two days ahead of me. Forcing your way up to the third floor will only disrupt the ritual. By then, the spookiness will be out of control, and all our efforts will be wasted."

"All you have to do is guard the outside world. I will take care of the rituals in the haunted house."

"..."

Hua didn't answer, and seemed very dissatisfied with Li Mo's idea.

If he accepted the "Him" in his heart, perhaps he could change the rules of the haunted house... But if that happened, it would undoubtedly cause trouble for Li Mo, as he would have an S+ level uncontrollable weirdness.

There was no affirmation or denial. Hua protested silently like a mute.

She has always been like this, quiet and reserved.

"Also, it was a mistake for you to call me. You won't get any useful information other than making sure I'm still alive."

"If I were you, I would use the power of the phone ghost to call Mei, tell her all the information I know, and let her analyze it for me."

Li Mo's cold words were almost a rebuke. The ability to modify cognition should not be used indiscriminately.

Hua himself said that there is only one chance to modify the phone ghost's cognition to create a special communication channel to contact the designated target.

Even if there is one more call later, I should call Mei first and then call him.

It was so precious, but it was only used to confirm whether he was safe.

Not cost-effective.

not worth it.

"I'm just... worried about you."

"Thank you for your concern, but dealing with the strangeness is more important. You should have some important information."

Li Mo didn't say too many pleasantries to Hua. He just wanted to know the secret behind the haunted house.

The ghost in the black fog, the ghost playing games on the third floor, the ghost in the dream, and Kanagawa Yume.

Li Mo vaguely felt that there was some special connection between the four, which might be the key to breaking through the fourth and even fifth floors.

He already knew the ghost playing games on the third floor. It was exactly the same ghost that Kanagawa Kimu encountered in her dream. It was certain that they were the same kind.

But why do ghosts in dreams appear in reality and return to dreams?

Is it related to the black fog?

And there is Kanagawa Yume, why can this girl loosen the blockade of the ninth room?

"...6."

Kanagawa Qimeng listened to the conversation between Li Mo and the girl named "Hua" from the side. She listened very attentively throughout the whole process and enjoyed watching the conversation very much.

After a brief conversation, the girl on the other end of the phone's personality came to light. She was introverted and reserved, and seemed to be very good at hiding her feelings.

Well, sometimes I can be bold, like just now.

It's just that this guy is cold and doesn't act like a normal man at all. He is indifferent to the girl's care.

I don't know what kind of mind-boggling drug Li Mo gave to "Hua" on the other end of the phone, or is "Hua" a masochist? Does he like the feeling of being ignored and left out?

No, her tone was clearly lost, not a masochistic one.

Hua on the other end of the phone took a deep breath, calmed himself, and spoke carefully: "I used 'Him''s' ability to peek into the memories of many ghosts that emerged from the black fog. They all had two things in common."

"Which two?" Li Mo perked up, he vaguely felt that the truth was there.

What ghosts have in common...

"First, they were killed by a girl."

"Secondly, they were all eaten by one man. There were so many of them, more than you can imagine. At least... there are many more ghosts in the town at the foot of Taixu Mountain."

"..."

"Who is it?" Li Mo asked.

"I don't know the girl, but the latter... looks similar to you."

"I ate a ghost?"

Li Mo briefly summarized the key points and fell into a long silence.

This is almost impossible.

The body of a living person would find it difficult to endure the cold even if it were close to a ghost, let alone eating a ghost.

Ghosts are immortal, and eating them in the conventional sense does not mean killing them.

It's more like a kind of absorption, absorbing the laws and pollution from them.

But he wasn't a ghost with a human head, so he couldn't do that. The pollution in a ghost's body was enough to make Li Mo fall instantly, let alone thousands of them...

Li Mo had only gained the stove ability for ten minutes, but he had already gained the permanent strange original law. If he had eaten a ghost whole, the consequences would have been disastrous.

While Li Mo was still lost in thought, Hua added, "Mo, there's one more thing I think I need to tell you."

"You know, ghosts have many similar patterns, abilities, forms, and concepts, but they are definitely not the same."

"I encountered many identical ghosts during these two days."

"Although it's a little simpler to handle, it seems to contradict Dr. Mei's conclusion that ghosts are not identical."

"Or perhaps, identical ghosts are themselves a special pattern, an unknown and strange phenomenon."

"..."

Li Mo's eyes grew darker, and countless tiny pieces of information emerged like a tide, along with the hints given by the blood-stained newspaper.

Many seemingly unrelated clues are connected by an invisible thread.

[This is a forbidden place for the living, and has the greatest taboo of resurrection. ]

Li Mo remembered this sentence.

He had also speculated on various methods of resurrection, and the conclusion was that the cost was extremely high.

The cost is too high, making the behavior itself impossible to replicate and basically impossible to achieve.

"Restart."

"No, it's reincarnation."

Just like the five-day ritual of the haunted house, after the challenger dies in the first two days, the haunted house goes back to the first day.

There may still be differences in the details, but the nature will not be much different.

But Li Mo had never heard that ghosts after a large-scale reboot could be completely preserved in the rebooted time and space.

Exactly the same ghosts, ghosts in dreams, ghosts in the black fog, ghosts playing games.

If the soul is unique, then the ghost is exactly the same.

Summoning souls and ferrying souls, whose soul is being summoned and whose soul is being ferryed?

Chapter 22 The Restarted World and the Only Ghost

Therefore, the fundamental reason why the rules and nature of those ghosts are so similar is that they originally belong to the same individual, and the world as a whole has been restarted many times.

Ghosts can restart, but it is rare to see ghosts restarting the world along with them.

At least... Li Mo has never seen any ghost other than himself who can do this.

But it is only limited to this world.

The origin of this world is strange and very complete.

Apart from the special case of Guiqi, the sources of weirdness in other worlds mostly continue in linear time, and the pollution continues to extend.

The source of this world is strange, and the pollution is expanding horizontally, with layers of time and space superimposed.

"The same ghost..."

If the soul is the only proof of the existence of the self, but when the soul is also copied and inherited to the next world, who is the real person?

In the game of hide-and-seek, is the way for living people to win really just to avoid being searched by ghosts?

Li Mo couldn't help but ask himself.

Including Kanagawa Kimu's identity as a ghost in the dream, trying to catch herself in the dream.

He only has guesses about many things now and has no actual evidence to confirm them.

"According to the original plan, but I need more backup plans."

"At least, there has to be a trump card to turn the table."

Play two games with ghosts, and the one who survives until daytime wins.

He can only bring one person at most, and the others might make mistakes due to various factors.

Human mistakes are inevitable during long, high-intensity games.

Li Mo took out the strange pistol from his waist, but the four bullets were like a drop in the bucket against the surging ghost swarm.

"Is there anything else to add?" Li Mo asked with his head down.

"Be careful..." Hua's voice was gentle, and seemed to contain a lot of thoughts.

"I will."

After a brief exchange, Li Mo hung up the phone and looked at Kanagawa Kimu who was standing next to him.

At this moment, Kanagawa Qimeng looked away guiltily, crossed her ten fingers back and forth, and muttered: "I didn't hear anything."

Li Mo ignored her little thoughts and shifted his gaze to the people who were sleeping.

It’s not far from eight o’clock in the evening now, so I should get up early to wake up and put myself in the best mental state.

Even if I die, I can't die so hastily.

Li Mo gave direct instructions: "Wake them up and ask them what they dreamed about."
