Weird collapse, chasing husband crematorium

"The ghosts that Kanagawa Qimen saw in her dream were definitely not accidental. Perhaps Kanagawa Qimen really killed them."

"But I asked Shigure Kirara to help check. There's currently no one named Kanagawa Kirara in Far East. Is it because they haven't transferred here yet? Or is there some other reason..."

"We need to be more careful."

Li Mo maneuvered his wheelchair into the elevator and selected the fourth floor.

The fourth floor is the only floor that has not been renovated. It retains the original rustic appearance of the house without any modern style.

Li Mo slid his wheelchair from the end of the corridor towards the stairs on the fourth floor.

Along the way, Li Mo only felt cold, but it was not a strange and unique biting cold.

In the haunted house, the fourth floor is a never-ending passage; but in reality, it is just an ordinary floor with nothing remarkable.

The only strange thing is that there are many landscape photos hanging on the walls of the fourth floor.

These landscape photos depict the house at the center of the estate, which is what the haunted house originally looked like.

"I came here with Shigure Kirara before and cleaned the entire fourth floor. How long has it been here? How come it's so dirty again? It's like no one has lived here in decades."

Li Mo was a little confused, but due to physical reasons, he couldn't bend down to touch the ground, so he could only observe the cleanliness of the ground with his naked eyes.

The wheelchair's wheels turned, collecting a thick layer of dust and leaving two scratches on the floor. There were many more cobwebs in the corners of the ceiling.

In the dark and narrow space, the only light was from the flashlight on Li Mo's mobile phone.

There were no ghosts in the house at the moment, so Li Mo lit up the light in the dark with confidence.

For countless nights, he lit the light in his room but nothing strange happened.

"A newspaper? Looks familiar."

Li Mo saw a newspaper stuck in the middle of the bookcase in the hall, so he maneuvered his wheelchair to the bookcase and took the newspaper.

Instantly, Li Mo smelled a pungent odor like rust, and the dust from the newspaper was floating all over the sky, which was very pungent.

"Cough, cough! Cough!"

Li Mo pinched his nose and coughed violently a few times.

By the time he reacted, he had already coughed up blood, which had dripped into the center of the newspaper. It was bright red blood, just like the words he had seen appear on the bloody newspaper.

The same color, the same hue, even the diffuse smell of blood is exactly the same.

"..."

Li Mo fell silent, and he began to feel uneasy.

"Did I give the blood on the bloody newspaper? No, I'm just a human now. I don't have any contamination on me. Even if I did, that amount wouldn't be enough to turn a piece of newspaper into something strange."

Li Mo was very sure of his condition. There was almost no contamination in his blood at the moment. If there was any, his body would have given feedback long ago and he would not be getting weaker day by day like he is now.

So there must be other reasons why the newspaper turned into blood-stained newspaper.

Can……

Li Mo didn't dare to conclude.

Li Mo stared at the bookcase and reached out to touch the two books that had just been sandwiched between the newspapers.

Take them off and observe.

"Strange, both books are covered in dust, but why... isn't there dust on my hands?"

Something happened that was beyond Li Mo's common sense. He took down two dusty books, but his fingers were not stained with excess dust.

It was as if... the place he touched had been touched by someone before.

"Someone came and took the two books and put them back where they were, with a dusty newspaper between them."

Li Mo made a bold guess, but who was that person?

Shigure Kirara would never do such a thing, especially since she rarely spends any time at home.

It's even more impossible for the children in the orphanage. The fourth floor is a place that Li Mo has ordered not to enter. The children are very obedient and should not disobey his orders.

After eliminating all possibilities, there is only one candidate left.

"Myself."

"..."

Li Mo, who got the answer, felt it was ridiculous. He did take the books from the bookshelf a long time ago, but that was a long time ago.

And he didn't put a newspaper between the two books.

"No...wait a minute."

Li Mo quickly flipped open one of the books. On the title page was written an extremely strange name that definitely shouldn't appear here.

"Xi'er Fuleai"

"How is that possible? I asked, and Seele was clearly with Bronya and Xing the entire time. They even went to the bathroom together. They didn't even go to the fourth floor."

"Even if she came to the fourth floor while everyone was asleep, why would she do such a thing?"

"There's no reason. I just left the elevator and didn't see any traces of footsteps on the ground. If someone had entered the fourth floor, they would have left footprints in the dusty ground. Unless... the person who set foot on the fourth floor wasn't a human, but a ghost. Ghosts can float in the air and move forward."

The knocking ghost is an exception. Other ghosts are capable of levitating, though they still imitate human behavior and walk by lifting their feet, as they did in life.

Suddenly, Li Mo felt terrified and cold sweat broke out on his back unconsciously.

"When did the ghost come in?"

"I totally...didn't notice..."

Li Mo turned around immediately and saw pictures of haunted houses hanging desertedly on the wall.

But as the distance got farther, Li Mo vaguely saw the shadow of a person in the picture, the shadow was hazy, constantly twisting and tilting.

But when Li Mo focused his attention, it disappeared.

In order to verify the normality of the pictures, Li Mo brought the light of his mobile phone close to the pictures, illuminating them and examining them carefully.

"No change, am I just hallucinating?"

"Observing things in a dim environment can easily cause hallucinations in human vision. My eyes were exposed to strong light for too long."

Li Mo silently lowered the light of the flashlight on his mobile phone and rubbed his tired eyes.

This is the bad thing about being alive. The body gets tired easily, and then some uncontrollable negative effects appear.

Hallucinations and optical illusions are common.

Li Mo looked down at the newspaper and casually asked, "Who are you?"

There was no response from the newspaper, the blood on it almost dried.

Li Mo was a little disappointed and sighed, "Sure enough, I was making a fuss. It's not a haunted house at this time. The house is not polluted."

"Ask Xier when she comes back tonight."

Li Mo put the newspaper with almost dried blood back to the empty space where he had taken the book.

At this moment, the blood on the newspaper dried up, and a line of words appeared: [As you thought.]

Li Mo took a quick look at the book with Xier's name on it. It roughly told a fairy tale.

The protagonists of the story are still the eternal prince and princess.

And the villain witch.

The witch controlled the king and ordered the princess to drink poison. In order to protect the princess, countless princes of the kingdom volunteered to drink the poison for the princess.

Finally, the prince rushed to the witch, cut through the thorns and bushes, killed the witch with one sword, and saved the kingdom.

Just like the ending of all fairy tales, the prince married the princess and they lived happily together.

"It's a good romantic story, with the tragedy of sacrifice and the anticipation and satisfaction of sweet success after hardship. Although the story is quite cliché, it's still acceptable as a children's book."

Li Mo gave a fair evaluation.

He immediately opened another book, but when he saw the name on the title page, he suddenly became numb, his eyes fixed on the name that was even more impossible to appear on the title page of a book.

"No...not possible."

"The house... a ghost came in?"

Li Mo felt a pang of fear in his heart, raised his head, and found that there seemed to be a shadowy figure in the picture again, and it seemed to have become even more weird.

At this moment, the door of the haunted house in the picture seemed to be opened. All the pictures were very similar. The door was opened, and a thin black shadow walked out from inside, staring at the outside of the picture with deep eyes, as if... looking at him.

Li Mo immediately turned off the light on his mobile phone, took the book, and quickly left the fourth-floor lobby in his wheelchair.

Back in the corridor, Li Mo came to the elevator, hurried in and quickly pressed the fifth floor button, wanting to leave this strange place.

Soon, he arrived at the fifth floor safely, but he was still a little frightened, with his heart beating fast and in a disorderly manner.

"Wait... before I entered the elevator just now... I didn't seem to notice any wheel tracks on the ground..."

Li Mo tried hard to recall the scene when he left. Because he was too nervous and left in a hurry, he overlooked many details.

Li Mo, who lost his strange ability, even lost his photographic memory and could not recall the scene at that time.

"That's impossible. I just walked over there. The wheelchair should have left obvious marks on the ground."

"What happened? What did I miss?"

Li Mo turned his gaze to the second book. Perhaps the answer was hidden in this book.

"Kanagawa Dream."

Li Mo read out the name seriously. The signature on the title page of the second book was "Kanagawa Yume".

Not to mention entering the fourth floor of the house to sign the book, as long as Kanagawa Qimeng entered the Far East, Li Mo would definitely know about it.

Shigure Kirara has entrusted Cecilia to establish good relations with the Far East Government and pay attention to the name Kanagawa Qimeng.

When she transferred to the school, Kanagawa Yume should still be an ordinary person, and it would be impossible for her to hide the truth and evade modern entry procedures.

With doubts and worries in his heart, Li Mo opened the second book.

Like the first book, it also tells a fairy tale.

But... this fairy tale doesn't seem as beautiful and perfect as before.

There's the prince, princess, and witch again.

The background of the story is still the kingdom.

But this time, the witch did not control the king, nor did she ask the princess to drink the poison.

Witches didn't even exist in the early days.

Li Mo found this setting very novel, because the princess and the witch were the same person...

One is clever, well-behaved, loved, and beautiful; the other is evil, wicked, despised by everyone, and ugly.

The story describes the witch as an old woman in her sixties, with a hunched body and a long, hooked nose that hangs down to her mouth, almost covering her lips.

His eyes were sinister, his eye sockets were covered with wrinkles, and his eyeballs were swollen, as if they were about to fall to the ground at any moment.

Sharp nails, yellowed and rotten teeth...

According to the setting of this book, the princess has a perfect appearance, is extremely beautiful and charming before she is eighteen years old.

Once they are around eighteen years old, they will gradually turn into extremely ugly witches.

Unlike the timeline of the previous story, the prince came to the princess very early and proposed to the king's daughter.

The king readily agreed and set three tests, which the prince passed perfectly. The two soon lived together and led a sweet life.

This seems to be the end of the first fairy tale.

But for the second fairy tale, the nightmare has just begun...

The prince married the princess when she was twelve years old. In the next five years, the prince took good care of the princess and gave all his love to his wife.

I will not tolerate any rumors or slander from the public.

The princess is like a flower on a high mountain. She is cared for by the prince and becomes healthy, more beautiful, and untainted by the world.

The turning point of the story occurs on the princess's seventeenth birthday.

There has been a case of missing persons in the kingdom, with people disappearing every day.

At first, no one cared. The family of the missing person just posted a few missing person notices and then let the matter go.
