Weird collapse, chasing husband crematorium

"what!"

A girl couldn't help but scream, and raised her trembling hand to point at the familiar head in the window.

"That's the head of the dean!"

"Be quiet." Li Mo reminded and covered the mouth of the girl who was out of control.

"Please don't make any loud noises during the mourning period. No matter who turns into a ghost, at least we are safe now."

"The auditorium seems to be intentionally blocking anything that can kill us from entering. Otherwise, Theresa's head would have been inside by now."

Everyone nodded. The horrifying scene was right before their eyes, but they had to try to accept it.

Theresa's body, like the tall corpse before it, stood in front of the black coffin in a daze, silent for a long time.

Chapter 35 The auditorium transformed into a "restaurant"

Li Mo stared at them intently, and soon there was movement.

After the silence, the tall corpse and Theresa did not choose to leave, but walked straight towards Li Mo and others.

"Senior! They're coming towards us!"

The students crowded into the corner and hid behind Li Mo.

"Tick...tick..."

Smelly corpse fluid continued to flow out of the corpse. As the water stains got closer and closer, a chill and foul smell instantly swept through everyone's nostrils.

Under such intense stimulation, a foreign object emerged in the throat, which was the undigested food.

But they didn't dare to vomit. They suppressed their nausea and swallowed the vomit back.

Will it attack us?

Li Mo put his hands on his waist, ready to draw his gun and shoot at any time.

Li Mo's cold gaze was not only directed at the corpse walking towards them, but he also glanced at the upside-down head hanging in the window from time to time.

The scene was extremely depressing.

The tall corpse and Theresa suddenly stopped and sat close to each other on two empty spaces without bloodstains.

Li Mo remembered that there was a cushion there before, so there was no blood on the ground.

However, the cushion had been taken away by Li Mo to be used as a bed for Shi Yu Qiluo, but it was obvious that the ghost did not use the cushion as a reference, but the spatial orientation of the cushion.

Seeing that these terrifying monsters did not attack them, the students felt relieved and discussed in low voices.

"Phew, it's okay, it seems we are safe tonight, senior, am I right?"

"Of course it is. The elders said that tonight's ceremony is a mourning ceremony, probably to comfort the deceased. These ghosts must just come to pay their respects and leave after a while."

"Then I'm relieved. It seems we can get through tonight safely. As long as tomorrow and the funeral are over, Senior will definitely find a way to get us out of here!"

As they chatted, everyone even laughed despite being extremely nervous.

Saori Tsuruyou did not participate in the discussion, but kept observing Li Mo's expression.

Li Mo remained silent, staring gloomily at the spot where the cushion should have been.

The worst outcome occurred.

Ghosts want to have a feast.

And the food is all the living people in the auditorium.

The reason is very simple. If you just come to see the deceased for the last time, you should leave after staying in silence in front of the black coffin.

But this is not the case. For some unknown reason, the ghost ignored the previous rules and entered the place covered by light.

It seemed that for them, the place where the light was was no longer an invisible void, but a warm restaurant.

The firelight illuminated the delicacies inside.

"Two are seated, and there are still ten empty seats..." Li Mo's tone became heavy.

He knew that once the empty seats were filled by ghosts, the "dinner party" would start immediately.

"Senior, there's someone else... no, there's a ghost coming."

Li Mo's thoughts returned to reality and he saw a headless corpse holding a bloody head and coming to the black coffin.

There was silence, then he walked into the firelight and chose an empty seat to sit down.

The human head's eyes fell out, staring at the empty space next to the headless corpse.

Then the head began to stir, jumped out of the headless corpse's hands, and sat in the empty seat next to it.

There were twelve seats, and four were already occupied in just a few minutes.

Li Mo's brain was working rapidly. He now had several plans, but they were not very feasible.

If you want to survive, you can only break through these two points:

One: Leave the auditorium that will soon become the "restaurant."

Two: Prevent all twelve seats from being filled.

The first point is that it is too dangerous because the vigil time has passed and the scene tonight is obviously a mourning.

I originally thought that since the identity of the deceased in the black coffin was determined to be myself, no ghosts would come. Unexpectedly, not only did they come, but there were quite a few of them.

There must be more strange things that are reviving outside the auditorium, whether they are ghosts, patterns, or phenomena.

If you rush into it without any preparation, you won't even be able to find the cause of death.

The second point seems to be the one with the best chance of being dealt with. If you are lucky, the seats will not be filled with ghosts, and there will naturally be no "meal" if there are few people.

"Can derivatives also take up space?"

"These ghosts seem intent on filling the empty spaces."

Theresa's head did not come in because she might kill the "food" inside, so she was not allowed to enter.

But the body is actually sitting on the empty seat.

The headless corpse should be a derivative of the human-headed ghost and should be able to occupy a seat. However, the human-headed ghost refused to sit with its own derivative and insisted on taking up an extra seat.

You all want the meal to start earlier, right?

If you push me to the limit, I'll just shake my magic and kill you all.

"Brother... do these ghosts regard us as prey?" Saori Tsuruyou expressed her thoughts worriedly.

"How is that possible? Saori, you're overthinking it. Senior said that tonight is just a moment of mourning, and they'll be gone on their own after a while."

"Yeah, don't scare us. If we were considered prey, wouldn't they have attacked us long ago?"

Students come up with rational explanations to deceive themselves and make themselves feel at ease.

Li Mo's words dealt them a heavy blow.

"Tell me why you think so."

No denial…

In a slightly more mature world, no denial equals approval.

"That can't be true, Saori, please explain clearly. You are joking, right?"

"I'm not sure, I just think they have to do the seating arrangement, which I learned from table etiquette in the Far East."

Saori Tsuruyu pointed to the remaining eight empty seats.

"The seating was originally arranged around us, much like a round table. The top seat was the one farthest from the entrance. From there, seat number one was ranked lower in status as you moved from the seat to your left to your right, closer to the entrance."

"I only came up with this idea after the headless ghost and the headless corpse sat down."

"Because my brother pointed out before, the human head is the real body, and the corpse is controlled by the human head. When they sat down just now, they left the two seats in front, which were already occupied by ghosts, and the corpse left the upper seat for the head. I think for non-human beings like ghosts, this behavior can't be a sudden idea. It's more like following some kind of instinct and rules, strictly executing."

"The headless ghosts belong to the upper class, and the headless corpses belong to the lower class. Naturally, the corpses will leave the good seats for the heads."

"But I'm not sure if the seating arrangement at funerals in other countries is the same as table etiquette in the Far East, so I can't be sure."

Saori Tsuruyu lowered her head and looked at Li Mo carefully, like a student who had handed in the test paper, quietly waiting for the teacher to give the standard answer.

While Li Mo was pondering, two more heads, carrying two headless corpses, entered the auditorium and found their respective seats and sat down.

"You're right, that's probably the situation."

"When all twelve seats are filled, the ghost's dinner will begin, and we, surrounded by the center of the round table, will be the only food."

Saori Tsuruyu's reasoning had already made everyone feel scared, and Li Mo's affirmation was like the last straw that broke the camel's back.

"Then why don't we just leave here?"

"Where are we going from here? It's even more dangerous outside!"

"So what should we do? Sit here and wait to die?"

The noisy quarrel spread among the crowd. Li Mo did not stop them and let them quarrel on their own. It would not achieve anything anyway.

The quiet Saori Tsuruyu stood beside the still unconscious Shigure Kirara, without saying a word.

She began to follow Li Mo's example and think about how to resolve this problem.

The only coin I have on me is no longer effective, and the strange bullet is my last resort. I'm afraid I can only suppress one ghost after using it.

The four empty seats will be filled soon, and the dinner's eating pattern is still unclear.

You are safe at the table until the seats are full, but they will fill up quickly.

If we leave the table, we will be attacked immediately, and neither they nor I are in a good enough condition to deal with it.

Even if you manage to escape from the auditorium, Theresa's hanged head is still outside, staring you in the face.

Everyone walking upside down could avoid being killed by Theresa who was hanging upside down, but if there were other attacks, there would be no room for counterattack.

There is not even a chance to choose between the two.

Another dead end.

Chapter 36 "Will I Die?"

What is the host of the funeral thinking? If all the living people die, who will bury them?

Are the dead carrying the coffin?

Half a minute later, three heads jumped in and occupied three seats.

There is only one vacant seat left among the twelve.

Can't wait any longer.

"I will try to occupy a seat." Li Mo said.

"But these seats are obviously reserved for ghosts. Brother, please sit down..."

"My condition is rather special. Even if something unexpected happens, I won't die easily. If I can make the 'restaurant' make a mistake, that would be the best. Even if it fails, I'm confident I can escape unscathed."

"If nothing unexpected happens, the other ghosts shouldn't move once I sit down, and they won't be able to start enjoying their dinner."

"But if the dinner goes on as planned and the ghosts start feasting on us..."

Li Mo didn't say anything else, because what he had to do next was very simple, wait for death, and hope to still retain his self-awareness.

But judging from his current condition, if he dies again he will really die.

Li Mo no longer hesitated and walked to the only seat and sat down.

He is now half human and half monster. If the banquet needs to be filled with twelve beings with strange attributes, then as long as he can occupy one seat, he can meet the prerequisite for the banquet to begin.

Because the seats are never full, there are only eleven and a half which is weird.

Sure enough, when Li Mo occupied a seat, the situation fell into a stalemate. There were eleven ghosts and one Li Mo, but nothing too strange happened.

The flame on the grave incense flickered slightly, and its brightness was reduced a lot.

Deeper darkness poured into the auditorium, enveloping the faint light.

"Squeak..."

The crisp sound of bones creaking occurred near the window, and Theresa's head, which was hanging upside down, spun 360 degrees.
