The gray sky was extremely desolate at this moment, filled with smoke, the streets were deserted, human broken arms and legs were scattered all over the streets, and dense dust and a strong stench filled the air.

A strong smell of blood filled the air under the dim sky, scarlet fog rose up, and dense blood foam gathered, dyeing the haze red.

The dazzling scorching sun in the sky shows that it is daytime now.

In the garbage dump, hyenas fight for some edible leftovers; in the abandoned buildings, black rats kill each other for shelter.

Burning between the stones were the remnants of fire and the flesh and blood of the man who was still burning.

Despair and desolation.

These two words describe this world very aptly.

The modern buildings collapsed, and the lost ruins were covered with moss and green plants, and it seemed that they had been desolate for some time.

"..."

"Well……"

Li Mo opened his eyes and looked around in surprise.

"Am I not in an orphanage? Where is this place? Wait...am I not in a wheelchair?"

Li Mo jumped on the spot after reacting, and found that he had actually regained the ability to move.

Li Mo clenched his fist and tried to swing it towards the air in front of him, powerfully and vigorously.

He has indeed fully recovered and has the physical fitness of a normal adult. Moreover, he is currently in a complete and living state, and there is still no obvious pollution on his body that can be detected.

but……

"Gui Ya's left hand."

Li Mo looked at his left hand. The skin was as smooth as cream, and the girl's texture and appearance made Li Mo even more shocked.

Logically speaking, he should have lost Guiya's left hand, after all, he had abandoned his original body... and he was not in a state of death... why?

"Was it a dream? ...Obviously not."

Guiya's left hand is here, and Li Mo can vaguely feel a faint strange aura from it.

"So where exactly is this place? It's like the end of the world. Wait, the end of the world?"

Li Mo suddenly woke up and immediately ran towards the orphanage.

His body was very agile. Even though Li Mo hadn't run for more than ten years, he only felt a little uncomfortable. After running for a while, his body was completely adapted.

I don’t know if it was good luck, but he was in the Far East, not far from the orphanage.

Not long after, Li Mo arrived at the orphanage, only to see a scene he would never forget.

The rusty iron gate and the spiderweb-covered wall were shimmering with a bloody red mist. Willow trees were planted on both sides of the gate, seemingly newly planted and still small saplings.

At the gate of the manor, Li Mo stood there motionless, raised his head and glanced at the vague red mist. The air around him was filled with the smell of rust.

The color of the red fog gradually evolved into black fog over time, and the blood foam in the air rotted and turned into something polluting.

"Ghost...house!"

Li Mo gritted his teeth and pronounced the name.

What does the resurrection of the haunted house mean? No one inside survived.

All those kids...

Li Mo clenched his fists, his nails digging into the flesh of his palms, and bright red blood dripped onto the ground through his fingers.

It quickly dissipated the moment it hit the ground and seeped into the soil, and the willow tree changed as a result, growing a little taller and more lush.

It’s a pity that Li Mo was so angry that he didn’t notice the changes around him.

"calm down……"

Li Mo tried his best to suppress his inner impulse. Even after entering the haunted house, he still couldn't break through the fourth floor, nor could he save... the children.

The most important thing to do now is to find out why you came here after death and why this world is in ruins.

As long as he understands these two things, Li Mo will know why the orphanage became a haunted house.

Li Mo walked away from the manor, but when he was about to leave, he turned back and took a hard look at the haunted house.

The lights on the fifth floor were still bright.

"I will... come back!" Li Mo swore.

After leaving, Li Mo once again came to the city streets, which were deserted. There were clearly traces of people, but no one was visible.

Li Mo walked for a long time but did not find a single living person. Under the broken walls, there were only a few rotten and gnawed arms that proved that there were indeed living people.

"The arm should have shown signs of decay for three days. The man died three days ago."

"That is to say, there were still living people in this world three days ago."

"But he can't be the last living person in this world. I haven't found him only because they all hid themselves. Why?"

It is impossible to completely separate rationality and sensibility. From the moment Li Mo came to the inner world, rationality began to return continuously.

Until he made a choice and returned completely.

Li Mo looked up at the dark sky, and with a thought in his mind, he wandered around.

Finally saw the specific time in a school.

"It's 8:57 pm, less than three minutes until 9 o'clock."

Seeing the time, Li Mo could probably guess what was going on.

The black fog will spread at eight o'clock, and the ghosts inside will become active. For living people, there is no way to deal with such ghosts that will kill people on sight.

Even though he didn't see a ghost now, it didn't mean it didn't exist.

Or……

Li Mo wondered if it was because of the peculiarity of his existence in both worlds that he could not see ghosts and ghosts could not touch him.

This is most likely the inner world. Only in this way can we explain why there is a world with the same fate as the outer world but a different one.

"Just find a living person to ask. This is the quickest way."

Li Mo did not hesitate and immediately set out to look for living people, because ghosts would appear in the black fog after nine o'clock.

Li Mo wasn't sure if he could be attacked by ghosts in his current state, but compared to taking risks, it was obviously more cost-effective to ask the locals.

Li Mo ran for a minute and found that there was no light in the city.

"Indeed, if people in this world have experienced the supernatural world, they will know that turning on a light at night is like erecting a lighthouse in the vast ocean. Ghosts and evil spirits will come out of the darkness to find you."

"So if there are still living people in this world, they must have seen ghosts a long time ago."

At that moment, Li Mo turned back uncontrollably, his sight fixed on a junior high school a kilometer away.

Li Mo: “…”

The return of Guiya's left hand has proved that this body is his real body. In Taixu Mountain, Li Mo once used "usurpation" to briefly obtain strange power.

But at the same time, he also paid an irreversible price and permanently acquired the strange original law.

Will be attracted by the sudden appearance of light in the darkness.

And the deeper the pollution on your body, the more serious this situation will be.

Light from a thousand meters away cannot be seen with the naked eye because there are layers of buildings blocking the view.

But ghosts are different. Unless they hide in an area with the ability to divide space like a room or a bed, ghosts can be seen at a glance.

What is blocked by walls or other things is only people's vision, and cannot block the "eyes" of ghosts.

"Run over there." Li Mo frowned.

Since he noticed it, it means that the ghost that was about to appear also noticed it.

The location there has been exposed. If the people inside cannot move in time, they will have no chance of escape when the ghost appears in the black fog at exactly nine o'clock.

"One minute, one thousand meters..."

Li Mo was silent for a while, and touched several familiar spaces on his body. The strange pistol and notebook were still there.

It would be a waste to use the strange pistol, but there is no other choice if we want to save people right now.

"boom!"

Loud gunshots rang out above the black fog, and the dense black fog suddenly began to retreat. Time went back to 8:57, and Li Mo stood under the school clock.

A death—

As his physical fitness improved significantly, Li Mo's eyes became cold and his pupils began to shrink.

He rushed out in one step and ran towards the place where the light appeared in his memory.

One thousand meters in three minutes, even a normal person can do it, but what Li Mo has to do is not to run to the destination in three minutes, but to run there within three minutes and take the person away from the original place as much as possible.

Explanation and transfer both take time, so Li Mo doesn’t have much time to run over, the sooner the better.

One death can reach the limit of human beings, but with the blessing of the strange left hand, Li Mo can exceed this limit.

Li Mo ran all the way and arrived at the junior high school where the light appeared in his memory, but it was not the junior high school where the children were, but the school next door.

Li Mo wasn't sure how much time he had spent, but it shouldn't have been too long because he hadn't seen the lights flash this time.

Suddenly, a faint candlelight lit up on the top floor of the dormitory building and then quickly went out.

Li Mo's eyes narrowed. Climbing the stairs at this height was too slow. It would be almost nine o'clock by the time he got up.

Just a little extreme.

Stepping on the protrusions and pipes on the wall, like a nimble squirrel, Li Mo quickly jumped out of the window on the top floor.

The eyes of a dead person can see things in the darkness. The person inside is motionless, perhaps thinking that he is a ghost and dare not make any noise.

A four-person room with three students doesn't make sense.

Li Mo didn't have much time to judge whether the three people were alive or not. Perhaps there was a ghost among them.

But the ghosts in the haunted house world are relatively weak before they eat people. Even if there is a ghost among the three people, it doesn’t matter. The strange pistol can suppress it.

"Crack——!"

Glass fragments fell from a high altitude. Li Mo smashed the locked window with one punch and entered.

After taking a quick look, he said coldly, "Leave here, this place has been exposed."

After he finished speaking, there was no movement from the three people.

Well, be very cautious and don't trust anyone who suddenly appears, because the other person's appearance is likely to be a ghost leading the living into a trap.

But Li Mo didn't have the patience to wait for them to come to their senses, so he took out his gun and fired a shot out the window.

"I can see you. I don't know if the ghost will kill you, but if you don't follow me, I will kill you."

Sure enough, after seeing Li Mo shooting, the three people finally walked out of the dark corner cautiously and looked at Li Mo in fear.

"To the roof."

Li Mo gave the command, and instead of going through the main door, he kicked down the wall next to him and walked out through the defect.

The three people behind him didn't understand what was going on and followed Li Mo silently.

The group came to the roof. Li Mo didn't have his cell phone on him and didn't know where it fell, but it didn't matter.

What he needs to do most now is to ask these three people what happened in this world.

That night, the evening wind was chilling, like a bone-scraping knife cutting through the skin and bones, chilling and biting.

Li Mo walked to the edge of the roof and looked down. The black fog gathered downstairs with a purpose, and then gradually spread into the room where the three people were just now.

The three people who were rescued also walked to Li Mo's side.

When they saw the shadowy figures inexplicably rising in the black fog, their bodies went limp and they took several steps back in fear.

"Ghost, ghost is coming! We clearly didn't trigger the rules, how could this happen, no way... no way!"

"Look carefully! We are fine. The ghost entered our dormitory just now. It must have been attracted by the light source."

One of the three collapsed, while the other remained rational and comforted his teammates.
