A tall black shadow stood at the stairs on the third floor, like a machine, with a dull look in his eyes.

Li Mo frowned slightly, revealing his subconscious impatience.

He had dealt with this knocker too many times.

We know that there are many rules in the body of the knocking ghost, but as long as it does not violate the rules of the floors, the only rule of the knocking ghost is knocking on the door.

At present, the identity and origin of the knocking ghost are still the things that Li Mo is most confused about.

Even Li Mo in the ninth room was a little worried, but the ghost knocking on the door seemed to appear out of thin air and no one knew where it came from.

Li Mo pondered for a long time, holding Kanagawa Qimeng tightly with one hand.

The appearance of the knocking ghost on the third floor was very wrong, and he had to prepare for the worst.

Sure enough, the moment the knocking ghost appeared, visible fear appeared on Kanagawa Qimeng's face, and her pupils trembled uncontrollably like sunny dolls after the rain.

and many more……

Li Mo began to recall his memories of the first day. He vaguely remembered that the knocking ghost first went to the second floor.

Then he went downstairs to the first floor and killed Kanagawa Kimu and himself.

The next day, the knocking ghost also tried to enter the room where he and Kanagawa Qimeng were, but Li Mo did not hear the information that the knocking ghost entered the eighth room after the candle was extinguished.

So the knocking ghost was coming for him or Kanagawa Kimu.

In addition, the next day, in order to test the survival rules on the third floor, Li Mo let Kanagawa Qimeng fall asleep, and the knocking ghost came back after leaving.

In the end, he was forced to lose his last chance to restart, and he kept using "Usurpation" to repair the injuries on Kanagawa Qimeng.

On the first and second days, the knocking ghost did not go to the third floor, but when Kanagawa Kimu and I came up, it came to the third floor.

This doesn't make sense. If the knocking ghost's pattern includes patrolling the third floor, then it should appear at eight o'clock.

Rather than wait until now.

So it didn't come to the relevant rules on the third floor, but... pursued the traces of Kanagawa Qimeng or me. The purpose was unclear, but killing was undoubtedly one of them.

The haunted guy.

"?"

Kanagawa Qimeng looked at Li Mo strangely, because she felt Li Mo pulling her arm, trying to take her away from under the ghost bed.

This is very dangerous because there are ghosts everywhere outside the ghost bed.

If you fail in the game of hide-and-seek, you can only play the game of statues with the ghosts, just like the man just now.

If you lose, you will be eaten up.

And it is very easy to fail, because ghosts' reactions are always much faster than humans.

Li Mo leaned close to Kanagawa Qimeng's ear and simply reminded her, "There is no other choice."

Kanagawa Qimeng pursed her lips and looked back. Others all looked at her with pity.

Leaving the ghost bed is a life-threatening situation. We have learned from previous experiences, and going out now is tantamount to committing suicide.

Kanagawa Qimeng bit her lip, and finally resolutely followed Li Mo out from under the ghost bed.

I don’t know what happened, but Kanagawa Qimeng is willing to believe Li Mo and put her life in his hands.

Her heart was also reminded of this.

The moment he left the ghost bed, and was held hand by Li Mo to face the extremely familiar group of ghosts, the fear he felt disappeared without a trace, and he felt very relieved.

Chapter 24: Ghost-Eating Ghost Knocking Ghost

The group of ghosts that crawled out of the box wandered around, looking Li Mo and Kanagawa Qimeng up and down, stretching out their rotten and smelly corpse hands, but without leaving any traces like before.

Due to the rules, they cannot cause any harm to Li Mo and Kanagawa Qimeng.

Li Mo's eyes were like a pool of dead air, their turbid eyeballs constantly moving as he observed the movements of each ghost. Holding Kanagawa Qimeng in his right hand, he was ready to move at any moment.

Kanagawa Qimen's reaction was not enough, but he could do it. He was infinitely close to a ghost, without the interference of human nature, and his actions and thoughts were active and sensitive.

If the ghost stops, Li Mo will immediately pull Kanagawa Qimeng to move together.

At this time, Kanagawa Qimeng, who was being held by the hand, took a deep breath, lowered her head and secretly glanced at Li Mo's profile, and then examined herself again to see that something was wrong.

What a strange feeling...

I should be feeling terrified right now.

These hideous ghosts in front of her had killed her countless times in her dreams. In her dreams, she was in unbearable pain and could not stop trembling and fear.

But now, these ghosts were right in front of her, and she didn't feel the slightest bit of fear.

Because of……

Is he there?

The people under the haunted bed were terrified. If Li Mo and Kanagawa Qimeng moved even a little, these moving ghosts would swarm over them instantly and eat them up.

Li Mo felt no fear, and Kanagawa Qimeng did not have the instinct to trigger the omen of death, and also lost the perception of fear.

Therefore, the two people can remain motionless and still.

Suddenly, Li Mo pulled Kanagawa Qimeng's left hand, bringing her out of her static state.

Before Kanagawa Qimeng could react, Li Mo led her slowly towards the end of the corridor.

Kanagawa Qimeng looked back at the ghosts and found that they had all stopped. No wonder Li Mo broke the still state in an instant.

But this reaction...

This is a bit exaggerated, almost in sync with the ghost's behavior.

As a top player of FPS games, Kanagawa Yume is very confident in her reflexes, but in this game that relies on reflexes, she doesn't seem to have the confidence to survive on her own.

To act at the moment the ghost stops, or to stop at the moment the ghost moves, either one is beyond the ability of a living person's reaction.

so cold...

Kanagawa Qimeng felt a biting coldness on her left hand, which was held by Li Mo. The coldness spread through her skin and spread to every part of her body.

Like holding a piece of ice.

But she understood that if she wanted to survive, she had to replicate the process of the first night based on the statue game.

Holding hands, we walked to the end of the ninth room.

"..."

Li Mo and Kanagawa Qimeng walked very slowly, ready to stop at any time to prevent triggering the pattern.

"Squeak..."

The moment the bones made a sound, Li Mo grabbed Kanagawa Qimeng, and the two of them seemed to turn into a statue, standing there silently.

The ghosts surrounded them and circled around them.

Li Mo knew very well that these ghosts posed no threat to him. As long as the rules of the game on the third floor were met, they would not be able to harm living people.

But there was a strange ghost that made Li Mo unable to let down his guard.

"Crack...knock..."

The sound of the floor breaking was heard behind him, and every step the knocking ghost took left broken footprints under his feet.

Soon, the knocking ghost walked behind Li Mo and stood on his shadow without moving.

The black shadow was very tall, several times the size of Li Mo. Standing behind him, even the strange green light on the third floor was obscured.

The knocking ghost just stood quietly on Li Mo's shadow, its deep and dark eye sockets almost condensed into the substance of a black hole.

"..."

Then, the ghost stopped, and Li Mo took Kanagawa Qimeng's hand and walked towards the door of the ninth room.

But the strange thing is that the same ghost stopped, but the knocking ghost did not.

Kanagawa Qimeng tugged at Li Mo and gave him a confused look.

But Li Mo did not stop. The knocking ghost was very special and could not be treated as an ordinary ghost.

After escaping death on the first day, Li Mo roughly understood that the Knocking Ghost had its own unique killing patterns that were not typical of a haunted house, so the wooden man game on the third floor could not be based on the Knocking Ghost.

If he and Kanagawa Qimeng stopped now because the knocking ghost moved, they would undoubtedly face a counterattack from hundreds of ghosts on the third floor.

This is a gamble with no margin for error.

Kanagawa Qimeng was led forward by Li Mo obediently and did not do anything abnormal.

"Crack...knock..."

Every time Li Mo took Kanagawa Qimeng a step forward, the knocking ghost would follow, crushing the floor and making a clear and harsh sound.

Is it imitating me?

Li Mo recalled the pace and frequency of the knocking ghost's walking, which was exactly the same as his own, as if a person's time and space were split into two halves.

With this thought in mind, Li Mo immediately changed his walking habits to prevent the knocking ghost from completely imitating him.

Who knows what kind of ghost is inside its body that kills living people by imitating their behavior? There are many rules in the body of the knocking ghost, and Li Mo cannot bet that imitation is not the rule of killing.

In the previous civilization, Li Mo had encountered a ghost that killed people by imitating other people. However, because this ghost itself had strong limitations and was relatively docile, it was basically impossible to spread, but it was quite troublesome to deal with.

At the time, I lacked the means to make a final decision, so I abandoned it in a deserted place without sunlight, leaving it to wander in the darkness forever.

Although behavioral patterns will not kill people directly, once they are allowed to completely imitate all of a person's habits and behaviors, they will directly replace the corresponding target.

If imitation did not take a very long time, for ordinary people, the ghost would not have completed the imitation before the ordinary people would have died of old age or died in a natural disaster or man-made disaster.

Unless a living person voluntarily allows it to imitate.

Li Mo's mind returned to normal, and he focused his attention, no longer staring at the ghost knocking on the door.

According to the rules of the wooden man, stop immediately when the ghost shows any signs of movement, and move immediately when the ghost suddenly becomes stagnant.

As long as they reach the door of the ninth room, the knocking ghost and these similar ghosts will naturally not be able to get close to them.

only……

Li Mo remembered that he had ventured into the territory of the ninth room during the day, and he felt very uncomfortable.

It felt as if the soul in my body was being sucked out.

The Doom Ghost had no triggering pattern, and Guiya's left hand had no reaction. His whole body was in pain, but his left hand, which belonged to the ghost, could not feel it.

However, Li Mo will soon be able to verify the scope of the ninth room and what kind of existence it affects.

"..."

"..."

Kanagawa Qimen took a deep breath, her chest rising and falling slightly.

The ninth room is right in front of you. Just a few steps forward and you'll be safe.

But why do I feel a vague sense of unease in my heart...?

The knocker stopped in the middle of the corridor and did not move forward.

The ghosts also stopped in the corridor, as if they were stuck in a static state like a game of statues...

Arrived.

Li Mo saw that the ghosts had stopped, so he took Kanagawa Qimeng's hand and prepared to enter the ninth room.

The moment he took the first step, a creepy chill came from behind him. The extremely low temperature difference almost made Kanagawa Qimeng tremble uncontrollably.

Li Mo turned around quickly and found that all the ghosts in the ghost group showed ferocious and playful smiles.

"We were fooled. They pretended to be still, but they were not completely still at all." Li Mo saw through the ghosts' cunning plan.

why?

Why did these ghosts suddenly acquire human intelligence and learn to cheat?

Without hesitation, the ninth room was right in front of him, and Li Mo wanted to immediately take Kanagawa Qimeng into the area of the ninth room.

But when he tried to pull Kanagawa Qimeng, he found that Kanagawa Qimeng was standing there, motionless, and her body seemed to have turned into an ice sculpture.

Li Mo did not hesitate and made a decisive decision to forcibly bring Kanagawa Qimeng in.
