Weird collapse, chasing husband crematorium

"..."

Li Mo was stunned for a moment, and once again turned the book to the first page.

Chapter 50 Li Mo's Choice

Li Mo stared at the neatly written "Kanagawa Dream" on the title page for a long time.

"Jingle Bell--!"

His cell phone alarm went off, and it was time for him to pick up the kids.

Li Mo turned off the alarm clock and his eyes became sharp.

"Kanagawa, you really have a huge surprise for me. I better not let you get caught this time, or you'll be in big trouble."

Li Mo teased, flipping through the storybook filled with dark fairy tales, and did not go downstairs to pick up the children immediately as he usually did.

"The fairy tale and the five-day pattern of the haunted house are too similar. I don't believe that there is no connection between the owner of the book and the corresponding story."

"But the problem is, where can I find a breakthrough to connect the two?"

Li Mo fell into deep thought, his mind constantly recalling what he saw and heard after entering the haunted house.

Having lost his strange powers and his photographic memory, Li Mo's experience in the haunted house was more than a decade ago...

If Li Mo hadn't recalled it every day, he might have forgotten it completely.

The memories of the haunted house, especially the first meeting, and the other party's actions were all aspects that Li Mo had focused on observing.

He had to ensure that every action of every person he met was reasonable and logical, so Li Mo was very clear about Kanagawa Qimeng's habits.

On the outside, she appears to be a bad girl who is fearless.

But after reading the second fairy tale, Li Mo was more inclined to believe that Kanagawa Kimu was just a superficial personality.

There are patterns on her body, which means she is not a normal person, and it is very likely that she is not even a human being.

It is only because of some law that it continues to exist to this day in the form of living people.

The strange thing is that the logic of her behavior did not deviate from Li Mo's understanding of living people, she was just bolder.

"..."

"No, I might have fallen into a misunderstanding. Why would I believe what Kanagawa Qimeng said?"

"She was able to talk about her past and her transfer experience. It seemed incredibly real, but the cognition of living people is extremely susceptible to modification. It's very likely that she had forgotten her true identity, including her name and past experiences, from the very beginning."

"..."

"Kanagawa Kimu is recording everything that happens in the haunted house."

Li Mo's voice became low, and his confused facial expression gradually became indifferent.

The more deeply you think, the more your eyes become distracted.

Recording this behavior just happened to coincide with this story.

But Kanagawa Yume did not write this story at that time, and it was not because of Kanagawa Yume and her own experiences in the haunted house that the dark fairy tale of the past was born.

The fairy tale was written at an early point in the haunted house world, and the haunted house happened later.

And the subsequent records of Kanagawa Yume are likely to be the habits inherited from her real identity.

The main personality's subconscious makes her do this.

The reason is very simple. Normal people don't have the time to record the weird things in a haunted house, let alone recall the memories of almost losing their lives and the twisted and terrifying ghosts.

At first, Li Mo simply thought that she was bold, radical and enthusiastic in collecting materials.

But gradually, Li Mo recalled that Kanagawa Qimeng did not record everything. Except for what Li Mo asked her to record, the rest of what she recorded could almost all be found in the second fairy tale.

Li Mo closed the book, maneuvered his wheelchair, and came to the elevator.

Holding the second fairy tale in my hand.

"No wonder I haven't been waiting for Kanagawa Kimu, because such a person doesn't exist in this world."

"So, Kanagawa Kimu's true identity is..."

"..."

Li Mo pondered for a moment, his eyes flickering slightly, pursed his lips, and said the reality that he was unwilling to accept.

"It's the owner of the first book, Xi'er Fuleai."

Li Mo pressed the elevator button and returned to the first floor. After he came back from the strange fourth floor, there was no change on the first floor.

Or perhaps there was a change but he didn't notice it.

If the owner of the storybook, Kanagawa Yume, and Seele are the same person, how should he treat Seele, the new kid?

Li Mo was very puzzled, as he already knew the ending of the dark story.

Even because of his foresight as a time traveler, Li Mo could compare Xier and Kanagawa Ximeng to Bai Xi and Hei Xi.

But the key is that there is a huge gap between reality and ideal. The best choice is to kill Xier when she is still a normal person to prevent future troubles.

is it possible?

To be honest, Li Mo couldn't do such a thing, even if he was 100% sure that Xier was the protagonist of the story.

There are two difficulties I am facing now.

The first is how to treat innocent people who will cause great disasters in the future.

It’s like in a novel, a person who has suffered torture and hardship becomes the final boss, and the protagonist travels back to the time before this person turned evil.

At this point in time, the other party is innocent. Why should we inflict unwarranted disaster on an innocent person?

But if we don't do that, the same tragedy will occur.

Only those involved in the choice can understand the dilemma. If he just thought about it and talked about it, Li Mo could have stood on the moral high ground and asked the protagonist to kill the other party to save more people and avoid tragedy.

Or you can righteously demand that the protagonist not do that and absolutely not sentence an innocent person to death.

"Making a choice is such a hassle. It would be nice if the reminder in my mind was still there."

Li Mo couldn't help but mutter, thinking that the original hint could at least reveal the direct result of the choice, so that he wouldn't be as confused as he is now.

The second point is that reality is made up of countless rules and logics, and Li Mo could not have killed Xier for no reason.

Bronya couldn't accept it, Cocolia couldn't accept it, and it can be imagined that the children in the orphanage couldn't accept that Li Mo had become that kind of person.

Perhaps Shigure Kirara could accept it, because she knew that her choice must have its corresponding reasons.

But the key is that I just can't accept it.

Such a cute and sensible child...

"I can't bring myself to do it. How can I just take someone's life so easily? It's so arrogant to decide her life or death based on my own subjective thoughts."

Li Mo knew very well that if he didn't take action now, he would not have the chance to do so in the future.

Once Xi'er becomes a witch in a fairy tale, that is, a ghost.

She would gain immortality, and she would have no choice but to repeat the prince's tragedy, watching the kingdom fall and committing suicide in despair.

"From this point of view, I am more like the prince of the second round, but I think I still can't accept myself as the prince of the second round. Maybe the original plot of this world already has such a prince of the second round."

"But unfortunately, I'm not."

Junior high schools finish school an hour later than elementary schools. Li Mo can go home after picking up the elementary school children, while the junior high school children will go home on their own.

After eliminating all options, there is only one option left for Li Mo.

Some are old-fashioned, even a little illusory.

"Take good care of her. With her family and classmates by her side, she won't get distorted."

"Ensuring your healthy growth is also the reason why we strive for it."

Li Mo shook his head helplessly, and the last expression on his face was a cheerful smile.

He made his choice.

The future is unclear, who can say for sure what will happen?

From a rational point of view, directly killing Seele is the safest option, just like the prince in the second round of the fairy tale who killed the princess with the sword on her eighteenth birthday.

Did the prince do something wrong?

No, because he knew that the eighteen-year-old princess would reduce his kingdom to a dead city.

So did he do the right thing?

Not entirely. He will suffer the psychological trauma of killing his beloved for the rest of his life and remain infamous.

The reality is... Choices really run through our entire life. Many times, even though we know the cost, we still choose the option we want to choose.

Li Mo smiled with relief, remembering how he spent all day in the Internet cafe during junior high school and didn't pay any attention to his studies.

Do I regret it? It's hard to say, I just know I had a lot of fun at the time.

As usual, Li Mo took the children home.

Children in elementary school only need to take care of cleaning. As for cooking, they have to rely on the older Xing and other children who are still in junior high school and are about to go to high school.

Li Mo could be an assistant, but due to physical reasons, he is not able to enter the kitchen and is prone to choking and coughing.

At seven o'clock in the evening, the junior high school students went home in groups. The door was open. Li Mo sat in the lobby on the first floor, looking for Xier among the crowd.

After searching for a long time, I finally found Seele at the back of the crowd. She was holding Bronya's hand and looked very happy.

"..."

No, that's not right. This smile is fake.

Li Mo concentrated and looked at Xier pretending to be indifferent.

Her smile was forced, but because of her sweet and lovely face, the smile looked beautiful and real.

Can't Bronya see?

Well... Bronya now doesn't have a re-equipped bunny, nor does she have a biochip implanted in her brain by Cocolia. Her legs are both intact, and there is no trace of technology at all.

Bronya, who lacked common sense about emotions, found it difficult to see through this fake smile.

"..."

The question arises again, why can Xier disguise herself so perfectly?

Is it a talent? Or is it due to some other special reason?

Li Mo pondered for a moment, and decided to take the time to contact Cocolia and ask about Xier's past.

This level of perfect disguise should not be a skill that a twelve-year-old girl can master.

I remember that I practiced fake smiling for a long time. Before I mastered it, my smile was so abstract that you could tell it was fake at first glance.

"Brother Li Mo! We're back! Hehe."

Xing ran up to Li Mo and greeted him politely.

Li Mo felt extremely pleased. It seemed that his moral teaching was very effective. When meeting respected elders, one should greet them. Xing had learned well.

Of course, there is another possibility, that Xing is afraid of being locked up in the small dark room again and feeling the noble grace of Teacher Li Mo.

"There are quite a few people, right?" Li Mo asked.

Xing immediately replied, "No, we won't leave the campus until everyone is in place. Don't worry, we won't leave any family behind!"

Seeing Xing's cheerful and sunny side, Li Mo was quite touched. He felt that it was a great achievement to turn a foul-mouthed and rebellious villain girl into a healthy, sunny and positive normal girl.

I really want to shed tears like an old father... Ha, just kidding, his current physical age is not old.

"Brother Li Mo, I'm going to take people to cook first. Sister Shigure gave us some pocket money last night, and we discussed it and decided to buy some meat and desserts to celebrate for Seele and Bronya, the newcomers to the orphanage!"

"The butcher saw that we were little, so he gave us a little extra!"

Xing held up the plastic bag and two well-packaged small cakes.

Prove that what you just said is true.

The plastic bag contained an unknown type of meat, which looked good and was quite filling.

Li Mo knew the boss. His child was in elementary school and he had met him on the way to pick up his child.
