Li Mo silently took out his mobile phone, found Shi Yu Qiluo, hesitated for a moment, edited a paragraph of text, and then deleted it all.
"Pointless……"
"There's no way she'll be back tonight, and I have to go to the fourth floor tonight."
"The hint didn't directly reveal the ending, but it indirectly reminded me that the contamination on the fourth floor is beginning to spread. If I don't go tonight, I might miss the best time to remedy the situation."
"Qiluo will be home in half a month. If she sees that I'm not here and I don't reply to my messages, she knows what to do."
Take all the children out of the orphanage, and then...
then……
Li Mo stopped at the elevator door for a long time. He remembered Shi Yu Qiluo said that if he died, she would come to accompany him after she had dealt with important matters.
"You can't die. You absolutely can't die."
Li Mo was carrying a pistol, although this pistol was extremely ordinary and could not cause any substantial damage to the monster.
But it’s better than nothing.
Then he took out a piece of paper, wrote down the general situation on it, and put it in a locked small box in the bedside cabinet.
This will prevent children from seeing it.
Shigure Kirara knows the password, so there is no need to worry about her not being able to understand what is happening.
Li Mo sent a brief message to Shi Yu Qiluo: I'm on the fourth floor, come back soon.
Shigure Kirara didn't answer, perhaps she had fallen asleep.
"If everything goes well, we can get rid of the ghost on the fourth floor tonight and send the kids to school during the day. If things don't go well... huh, has there ever been a time when everything went well?"
Li Mo teased himself.
After more than ten years of peaceful life, he almost forgot that he had always been with death, and this time was no exception.
Li Mo held his slightly trembling hands.
"Is it because it's been so long since I've dealt with supernatural events that I'm nervous? Or is it fear?"
Li Mo asked himself.
"Maybe both. Even though I've been keeping an eye on the manor for more than a decade to see if there are any signs of strange things happening, I seem to have grown tired of it... I've become repulsed..."
"Tired of dealing with weirdness."
“Resist stepping out of your comfort zone.”
Li Mo entered the elevator. When the doors closed, he laughed at himself helplessly, "Why do I always feel like someone is saying I'm running away? Even though I have certainly run away quite a few times."
"But sometimes, I can't escape just because I want to. Now that fate has pushed me off the cliff, I have no choice but to go on."
Chapter 53 Nightmare (7k)
Li Mo glanced at his unresponsive legs, then glanced at the slow-moving wheelchair.
If you really encounter a ghost, you won’t even have a chance to escape.
Do you expect an ordinary pistol?
The elevator door opened and Li Mo took a deep breath. This was his first time entering the fourth floor after eight o'clock in the evening.
The pictures on the wall were blurry, and many distorted human figures appeared.
Li Mo was silent and looked at his feet. A thin figure covered himself and the wheelchair.
The ghost followed him from the fifth floor to the fourth floor.
"Kill those lingering ghosts if you want to."
Being weak and powerless gave Li Mo great courage.
After all, he really had no ability to resist. If a ghost with a human head came now, it could easily kill him, not to mention the countless evil ghosts in the haunted house.
Li Mo turned his head and looked at the direction of the shadow behind him.
It happened to fall behind the wheelchair, and the ghost's position in the other world was right behind him.
Li Mo laughed contemptuously: "Or do you possess human wisdom and are planning something? Now is not the time to kill me? Haha, so..."
"Purebloods like you are nothing but slaves to the rules. You don't understand the good of living people at all."
"If you don't dare to kill me, then get out of the way. If you stay by my side, I'll just scold you over and over again."
"Are you a masochist?"
After saying that, Shadow came to Li Mo, but Li Mo remained unmoved and didn't pay any more attention.
Anyway, I just want to scare this ghost and see if it has any intelligence.
Hearing his speech change means that the other party does have wisdom, which is more troublesome.
With the wisdom of a living person, the ghost could understand what he feared most.
"No wonder the prompt told me to come here quickly. I'm afraid that after today, this ghost will no longer target me and will instead attack the children below the fourth floor."
Li Mo analyzed quickly.
At this moment, a raw, bitter and salty smell came from the air, as if rusty nails were piled around.
Li Mo glanced around but didn't find the source of the smell.
At least not in his sight.
"What happened on the fourth floor of the other world?"
Li Mo took a deep breath and slowly maneuvered his wheelchair forward on the fourth floor. When he arrived at the lobby, the pictures on the wall were almost no longer hidden. A black shadow walked out of the haunted house, coveting something on him.
When Li Mo looked at him, the black shadow turned his head away again.
Li Mo was very confused by this strange behavior pattern. Logically speaking, he was the only living person on the fourth floor. If there was a ghost in the picture, then the only target of attack would be himself.
Only he can trigger the ghost's killing pattern.
Li Mo looked back and found that the black shadow that had been following him on the ground had disappeared.
Immediately afterwards, a strong fishy smell filled the hall, which was very pungent.
"The smell of blood." Li Mo covered his nose and came to the bookshelf. Everything was normal, but the smell of blood was several times stronger.
When he went up to the fourth floor, he did not find any footprints. In addition, the fourth floor was a one-way street and there was not much space to hide. It was impossible for Li Mo not to see people along the way.
Therefore, the source of the bloody smell could only be the bloody newspaper that had not yet revived.
In other words, the blood newspaper has been revived, but what is the reason?
Li Mo was puzzled, but he was more familiar with the blood newspaper. This strange thing posed no threat to him, so he could give it a try.
With the experience from last time, Li Mo held his breath before removing the bloody newspaper to prevent dust from entering his throat.
After taking down the newspaper, as he expected, the newspaper had turned into bloody newspaper.
"..."
"..."
Li Mo thought for a while and made a very bold choice.
This choice may lead to the destruction of all his current peaceful life, but at least it adds a possible chance for him to break out of the predicament.
Another choice, another gamble.
After a moment's silence, Li Mo picked up the blood-stained newspaper, looked at it calmly, and said coldly, "I know you can lie and pretend. I'm not omniscient and omnipotent, and I can't predict my plans."
"So I'm not going to ask you about the future, nor will I listen to your advice on how to complete something."
"I only need you to tell me one thing. If you choose to hide or lie, I will immediately burn all the pictures on the wall. I don't know which picture is your true self, but I don't care because they will all be burned."
"If you can't burn it, then you are capable."
"Now tell me how you were born."
Li Mo clenched the bloody newspaper, not using the strength of his fingers to express his firm determination, but doing another dangerous thing.
Words slowly appeared on the blood-stained newspaper, even though it didn't want to answer.
But the rules are such that if it doesn't want the user to know the answer, it can only choose to lie.
[Li Mo, I am you six years from now, and I am using this newspaper to tell you all the possibilities of the future...]
"Ok?"
Li Mo was stunned for a moment. He remembered that the blood-stained newspaper appeared quickly, but now the words were outlined stroke by stroke, as if someone was writing.
However, the answer has not changed much. Unlike the notebook, the blood newspaper uses the second person as the narrative perspective.
[You shouldn't have come here. If you go back now, you can still avoid an irreversible tragedy.]
[You just need to enjoy a normal, wonderful life. This is your only chance... to escape forever.]
If you choose to stay and become tainted by the strangeness again, you will become a "??????" and die a miserable death.
The words on the blood-stained newspaper stopped appearing, and only four short lines of text appeared in front of Li Mo.
However, compared to the first sentence, the blood-stained newspaper seemed to have regained some pattern, and the words appeared quickly, just as Li Mo remembered.
"Interesting. My mind prompted me to come to the fourth floor. If I don't come, I will regret it immensely. Tragedy will happen again."
"You wanted me to leave the fourth floor again, saying that this would prevent tragedy."
"In my opinion, the prompts in my mind are absolutely objective and true. Every word you say is a lie. I don't need to consider who to believe anymore."
"It's better for you to be burned. I may not be able to change the other endings, but burying you is still a possibility."
After saying that, Li Mo reached for the pistol on his waist.
【…】
Li Mo firmly believed this, and he believed even more in the clue given by the ninth room in his mind. The experience of the haunted house more than ten years ago and the blood-stained newspaper were full of lies and were not worthy of trust.
Just as Li Mo opened the safety and was about to go under the picture to shoot, words appeared on the bloody newspaper again.
This time, the Blood Newspaper took the initiative to communicate with him without Li Mo asking any questions.
If you don't believe in death omens and believe in blood newspapers, you will indeed feel immense regret.
[But deep regret...isn't a bad thing. People will regret their choices no matter what.]
[There is absolutely no possibility of lying on the first night after Blood Newspaper woke up.]
Li Mo curled his lips and rolled his eyes at the bloody newspaper: "Death Omen? Is that the name of the hint given by the ninth room? You're quite impressive to even know this."
"I have no way of verifying your answer and cannot verify the truth of your words."
"To tell you the truth, I've actually died once. I buried you myself the last time I died. Back then, you lied endlessly and killed so many people."
"Unfortunately, I'm not the first person to meet you, so I can't confirm this pattern."
Li Mo retracted his pistol. The magazine capacity was limited, so there was no need to waste bullets on the picture. Ordinary bullets might not be able to kill the picture.
"Looking forward to your performance later~"
Li Mo smiled and put the bloody newspaper back on his body.
Anyway, the possibility of the blood-stained newspaper killing you is very small, so you might as well make the best use of it.
The claim that it won’t lie on the first night after waking up is probably made up by itself. Don’t believe it, but what if?
Li Mo was hoping for a lucky break. He was short of strange things now, so he couldn't let go of even the less practical blood-stained newspaper.
The rolled-up bloody newspaper was silent for a moment.
【hehe. 】
Except for the first sentence left by humans.
It doesn't lie.
At least not tonight.
Li Mo hummed a little tune to encourage himself.
The silent hall, the strange sight in the picture, the shadows constantly twisting in the darkness...
They are all around Li Mo, just separated by a world, and cannot hurt Li Mo.
