Li Mo slowly lowered his right hand, and there was a pool of bright blood in his palm.
His skin faded from its grayish-blue hue, now hovering between rosy and pale. The blood flowing out regained its warmth, and the stench of decay on his body quickly dissipated.
But everything comes at a price.
The price of regaining one's human body is the loss of one's strange immortality.
The wound no longer showed any signs of healing, and consciousness and rationality were gradually approaching collapse.
Li Mo gritted his teeth and limped to the group of ghosts.
The ghost walked very slowly, but Li Mo was only slightly better than him.
Li Mo's blurred vision kept catching familiar faces among the dead souls.
He saw a lot.
The ghost that crawled into the haunted bed on the third floor, the person killed by the humanoid spider on the first floor...
All the souls that died in the haunted house will eventually come here, and after one night they will become ghosts in the haunted house, shuttling between the black fog and the haunted house.
The number has reached a point where it is impossible to deal with. If we want to contain it, we can only go to the fifth floor and deal with the source...
But Li Mo gave up and chose to evade responsibility.
According to the prompts in his mind, humans and ghosts do not interfere with each other. As long as they walk towards their respective destinations, the ghosts go to the destination where the ghosts should go, and humans reach the destination where humans left. Then he can safely reach the fifth floor and face the source of the weirdness.
Really willful...
It's too late to say anything now, and it's meaningless.
Li Mo never liked to apologize because it couldn't change the reality, it just made him feel better.
People who make mistakes should bear the guilt brought about by making wrong choices, be whipped by pain, and remind themselves at all times.
It’s enough to regret something once.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, Li Mo's consciousness gradually faded away and his vision fell into darkness.
His steps did not stop. Compared with the dead soul beside him, Li Mo, who was covered in blood and exhausted, looked more like a walking corpse.
The soul-crossing passage was shrouded in endless darkness. Wherever Li Mo walked, blood-red footprints were left behind, spreading from far away to the present.
"Qiluo..."
Li Mo murmured, perhaps, he shouldn't have involved her from the beginning.
"Sorry……"
If he had made up his mind, he should have erased all memories of the people involved on the day of the funeral.
At least they can return to their normal and happy lives.
Instead of being contaminated and entangled with weirdness, it has become the half-dead appearance it is now.
Li Mo's speed was getting slower and slower, and he was almost unable to walk. Unlike his strange body, human physical strength and intensity were really limited.
But just before the sight disappeared, a vague blue came into view.
The ice-blue hair seemed like soft clouds, dancing gracefully in the air.
In the boundless darkness, it was like the warm sunshine shining through the cracks. Just a glance was enough to steal all his attention.
Li Mo opened his eyes with great difficulty, even though his pupils were difficult to focus.
A vague outline was enough for him to recognize it.
Li Mo dragged his heavy body to Shi Yu Qiluo and grabbed her wrist.
Cold, biting, stiff...
But Li Mo smiled, because he caught it, he found it! He found her!
He can catch and hold.
Li Mo tried to pull Shi Yu Qi Luo out of the ghost group, but he found that he couldn't do it at all after repeated attempts. Instead, his injuries became worse. He was only a step away from his limit...
No... He had reached his limit and was only hanging on with his last breath, allowing Li Mo to come this far with his willpower.
"Qiluo...Qiluo..."
[“Hello! Is anyone there? Everyone! Gloomy man!”]
The conversation between Yu Qiluo and him after he was resurrected suddenly flashed back to his mind.
Having lost his emotions, he was extremely indifferent to everyone and was completely unable to feel or understand the girl's admiration and respect.
"Here I am...turn around...look at me..."
"I'm so glad this nightmare is finally over. Why don't you smile? I think you look really pretty when you smile."
"I'm laughing... Come with me, leave here... Come home with me, please..."
Li Mo used all his strength to force a stiff and bitter smile on his face.
With charming ice-blue hair, Shigure Qiluo walked step by step towards the final resting place of the dead souls.
There was a chill not far ahead.
Li Mo had a premonition that if he couldn't stop Shi Yu Qi Luo, after passing through the Soul Crossing Channel, everything would be too late...
Even Guiqi's time and space travel cannot save the situation.
Because ghosts are immortal, any rules that attempt to erase their existence will be invalid, and the same is true for going back in time.
Once Shigure Kirara turns into a ghost, the only thing that can be brought back when time goes back is the ghost Shigure.
"Why haven't you said anything? Eh? Why are you touching my hair? Well, never mind. Just consider it your reward for saving everyone."
Li Mo's eyes were sore, as the dead soul could not receive any information from the outside world.
No matter how much he called out, he couldn't wake her up. He could only watch Shi Yu Qi Luo walk towards destruction step by step.
why?
He had clearly reached the last step, and he had clearly found her.
Why can't the ending be changed?
"My name is Shigure Kirara, but I have a little selfish desire. Privately, you can just call me Kirara-sei. It's a little embarrassing to say it, but... I'm an idol, um... I'm just a little tone-deaf, hehe."
"You haven't told me your name yet?"
"Li Mo... My name is Li Mo..."
"You're lying! I clearly don't have one. How could I not remember it if you told me the name? Don't underestimate the Valkyrie's memory!"
"Stay...please...stay with me."
Once, Shi Yu Qiluo asked Li Mo's name, but he didn't tell her. When Shi Yu Qiluo complained, he simply drove her away and coldly ordered, "Go back to your teammates."
Stories fade away with time, and on this current road, there will always be people aimlessly searching for shadows of the past.
In the end, all that remains in memory is something illusory.
Maybe the ending is good, and everyone who should survive survives.
Or perhaps they are all dead.
Shigure Qiluo's figure became increasingly transparent and hazy, as if it would disappear from sight at any moment.
As she neared the end, she grew younger and younger, finally returning to childhood, dull and stagnant as she approached her soul-destroying end.
Li Mo's tightly clenched hands eventually lost their strength, and due to the limitations of his body, he was unable to continue holding on to Shi Yu Qiluo.
"..."
Li Mo lost all vision. When a person is about to die, the body will take the best life-saving measures and stop the blood supply to the eyes first.
The shadows were hazy, Li Mo lowered his head, his pupils completely lost focus and became dull and lifeless.
The fragile body shook and knelt on the ground, with both hands naturally falling to the intangible but tangible ground of the Soul Crossing Passage.
He had already lost more than half of his blood and should have died long ago.
Li Mo was like a scarecrow, motionless, his lips dry, with only a few drops of bright blood dripping from his lips.
This time, it seems that everything has come to an end...
As consciousness faded, the voice in my head sounded again.
But this time it was not a memory, nor a reminder, it was more like an interrogation, a torture.
Deep in his consciousness, a thin black shadow appeared in front of Li Mo.
But Li Mo had already died, so we couldn't see his appearance clearly.
The real body of the knocking ghost came into Li Mo's consciousness, with cloudy and distracted pupils, looking down at the dead Li Mo with indifference.
You abandoned your responsibilities, but you gained nothing.
【madness.】
Not only did you fail to save the people you wanted to save, you also abandoned your companions, abandoned the world, and abandoned your mission.
【But it doesn’t matter.】
[Since you have made your choice, die ugly as a human being.]
[Since you have chosen to escape, then hide here forever.]
I am your ultimate rationality, immortal and indestructible. You are cowardly, anxious about gain and loss, bound by worldly morals and ethics, blindly impulsive... You are not worthy of being the one He eternally watches over.
[I will inherit everything from you and exterminate all the weird things in the world on your behalf.]
【Because...I am you.】
Having said this, he disappeared from Li Mo's consciousness and returned to the third floor to face Guiqi.
"Alicia, release the suppression on Padu. Hua will modify Padu's cognition and control her to release the pollution, injecting it into her soul."
"Then, I 'killed' her myself."
Li Mo walked out of the darkness in the shadows and gave orders to the helpers who came.
The moment she came out, Guiqi turned around and stared at him with fiery and greedy eyes.
However, Li Mo's gaze in response to Guiqi's was cold and dead, without a trace of unnecessary emotion.
He stretched out his strange left hand. Now he didn't have to worry about the pollution brought by using the strange left hand.
He is Li Mo, and he is also weird.
Now there is only one thing to do: "kill" all the weird things.
Several people looked at each other, but after seeing that it was Li Mo, they no longer had many concerns. It was very likely that escaping was also part of Li Mo's plan, and they only needed to obey unconditionally.
What's more, judging from the breath and memory, it was indeed Li Mo himself.
They had seen Li Mo in this state before, but this time it seemed... particularly strange.
When only a few pieces of paper were left in the Eigenworld, Mei realized her own death had stalled. She slowly stood up and muttered, "Did it work?"
So simple?
"It's a bit strange. According to my judgment, Li Mo couldn't have escaped from the trap so quickly. It's so strange and bizarre. No one knows what will happen next. I can only wait for them to come back and then... examine them one by one."
Mei picked up the paper-cut on the ground and was surprised to find that the intact paper-cut seemed to have been cut by something, precisely divided into two halves.
In the soul-crossing passage, the dead souls had already gone far away, and Li Mo's corpse was kneeling on the spot, lifeless.
Living people cannot leave the Soul Crossing Passage...
"Qiluo...Qiluo...Qiluo Star..."
"Twinkle... twinkle... how bright..."
Li Mo's dead body was like a last ray of light, reciting the lyrics he remembered before he was born.
Li Mo never confessed his love to Shi Yu Qiluo. He intentionally kept a distance between them and didn't want to drag her into this strange vortex.
This is his attitude towards ordinary people. Keeping them away from weirdness is the greatest protection for them.
But in fact, he was saved by Shigure Kirara many times, and the two even developed a negative distance relationship because of this.
But Li Mo never said, "I love you."
As far as his memories of normal life are concerned, Li Mo has never said this to any girl.
