Another person walked up to Li Mo without saying a word, bowed respectfully and thanked him.
"Thank you for saving us."
After listening to the conversation between the three people, Li Mo roughly sorted out his thoughts.
They did know about ghosts and patterns, but it would be difficult for ordinary people to survive if they were caught up in a supernatural event, let alone survive with a burden.
Li Mo raised three fingers and said, "I'm going to ask you three questions, and you need to answer them truthfully."
"First, how do you know that triggering a ghost's pattern will result in the ghost coming to kill you? For example, suddenly turning on a light will attract ghosts."
The middle school student looked at Li Mo in confusion, as if he was wondering why Li Mo was asking about this well-known rule.
After all, there are countless bloody facts before our eyes, and anyone who lights a lamp in the dark will be killed.
However, out of respect for her savior, she answered truthfully.
"Because there are too many things like this, both in reality and on the Internet."
"It all started on October 18th, a year ago... That day, many people died around the world. The internet was filled with information about the deaths. People around the world then deduced through layers of reasoning that being alone would lead to death."
"However, many people had already died before this rule was known. I'm not sure how many, but everyone in the school was fine. No one was left alone, so many people survived."
"After that day, ghosts appeared at night, and anyone who approached them would be killed. Anyone who made faces or played pranks on others would be killed no matter where they were. And the area was very large. It seemed that anyone who did this within a year would be targeted by the ghosts."
"Ghosts also have a killing pattern that is a game. What I said before was not accurate. I said that ghosts will kill people when they get close to them, but there is actually a prerequisite."
"That's the statue game. As long as you escape the ghosts' sight while they're still, you'll be fine. If you fail in this game, you'll be tortured to death, which is even more painful than being killed directly..."
"The reason people were killed for turning on the lights was because we saw with our own eyes someone in a nearby residential building turn on the lights, and then the ghost went there and killed the entire family... If you open your phone now, you should be able to see similar examples."
"But what we didn't know is that ghosts only go where the lights are on. Thank you."
The girl bowed again to express her gratitude.
Li Mo lowered a finger and asked the second question: "Second, why did you turn on the light? Don't tell me it was an accident. Since you know the pattern of ghosts killing people, then lighting a light in the dark means you are seeking your own death."
Behavior requires reasons, and many conclusions can be drawn by reasoning backwards from the reasons, such as... whether the person in front of you has the thinking of a living person.
Although nine o'clock had passed and the three people showed no signs of turning into ghosts, Li Mo still wanted to verify it.
The girl hesitated for a moment, then turned her gaze to the classmate who was slumped on the ground with his head in his hands.
"We don't actually want to light candles..."
Li Mo interrupted her: "I understand. Now I want to ask you the third question."
The reason they lit the candles was very simple: someone could not bear the atmosphere of despair and oppression and did something crazy.
Pressure can bring motivation, but it can also destroy the last line of psychological defense of human beings.
So there are still survivors in this world, but they are all hiding. This is a game of hide-and-seek on a global scale.
Through the Internet, people exchange information and quickly understand many rules.
There is a ghost in the black fog. Anyone who stays in the black fog after nine o'clock will die.
If you are alone, you will die.
Those who pretend to be ghosts or play pranks will be killed.
"Third, do you know a girl named Xi'er Fuleai? She is seventeen years old, very tall, with long blue-black hair, very pretty and gentle."
Li Mo briefly described Xier's appearance, but the girl shook her head, indicating that she didn't know.
Of course, Li Mo didn't have high expectations, he was just asking casually.
after all……
The witch in the fairy tale is revealed on the last day, but by then, only the prince and princess are left.
"Lonely", "Playing Pranks", "Hide and Seek and Statues"...
Then this world should be in the third day stage now, and Li Mo doesn't have much time left.
The reason for the world's ruin has almost been found, so the only thing left is the confusion of why I came here.
Li Mo closed his eyes and thought.
He died at the age of twenty-two, but because of his blurred consciousness, he could not tell the difference between day and night.
and many more……
Li Mo suddenly opened his eyes and said to himself, "I can tell. The roof light is on. Qiluo won't turn on the light during the day."
He explained everything to Qiluo privately, including that the lights must not be turned off at night and Xier must not be allowed to leave.
So once the lights are turned on, it is night, and it is definitely not daytime.
Since it was night time, the problem lay in the latter point.
Is Xier in that room?
Li Mo tried hard to recall...
The only thing I can recall in my mind is a hoarse voice...
"Don't die! Don't die!"
"Don't go... Don't leave me alone..."
"I love you."
"..."
"Hey, big brother, why are you blushing?" the girl suddenly asked.
"You're seeing things." Li Mo coughed lightly and withdrew his thoughts.
There was only Shigure Kirara's voice in the room, and Xier was not there.
Xier is seventeen years old this year, and her coming-of-age ceremony will be held soon on October 18th.
Chapter 61 Those who must die, and the heroes who are still on the road (5k)
Li Mo vaguely remembered the last time he let Xier leave at night, triggering the "alone" rule and entering the "dream", where he witnessed a tragedy.
This time, entering the so-called "dream" was countless times more real than the last time, as if... falling into the inner world of a haunted house.
Li Mo quickly came to the conclusion: as Xier approaches eighteen years old, the "dream" of falling after being "left alone" will become more and more complete, which is the same as the strange pattern.
Xier was only twelve years old at that time, so the "dream" was just an illusion, with incomplete characters, incomplete logic, and incomplete causes, endings and processes.
Now Xier is about to turn eighteen years old, and the "dream" has become a complete world under the interference of strange forces.
So people who trigger the "alone" rule will fall directly into this world and live an absolutely real life.
"...Once we find her, all the truth will be revealed." Li Mo sorted out his thoughts.
It wouldn't be difficult to get the truth out of Xier by directly asking her before she turns eighteen using her status as her guardian.
The problem is that--
Where is Xier?
Li Mo stared at the black fog spreading everywhere under the roof and fell into deep thought. He turned around and asked, "Didn't you build an underground shelter?"
"There was one before, but because we couldn't guarantee that everyone entering was alive..." the girl answered truthfully, "It opened half a year ago, but it's been abandoned. Some special ghosts can sometimes maintain human form during the day, causing them to enter the closed shelter and go on a killing spree. The people killed become new ghosts... There's no end to it."
"People were in a panic. Everyone fled the shelters and hid in the place they thought was the safest."
Li Mo asked again: "Why don't you go home?"
"It's too far." The girl replied dejectedly.
After thinking for a while, Li Mo gave up asking, as he already knew all the information he needed to know.
Looking at the dim sky in the distance, Li Mo's eyes darkened slightly, and he murmured, "Could it be you who caused this, Xier?"
After saying that, Li Mo jumped off the roof in front of everyone's astonished gaze.
"Hey! Wait!!"
The survivors on the rooftop walked to the edge, held out their hands and shouted loudly.
If a normal person jumps from the sixth floor, he will definitely die. Even if he doesn't die, he will have no way of survival facing the thousands of ghosts below.
Li Mo landed smoothly on the ground. The moment he landed, all the wronged souls around him were attracted and looked at him strangely.
Surprisingly, Li Mo did not become the target of the ghost's attack.
Seeing this, Li Mo walked forward, trapped in a black fog with a fishy smell, and came in front of a group of ghosts.
The black fog was like the soul-crossing passage on the fourth floor of a haunted house. The ghosts in the fog lined up one after another, moving forward aimlessly.
After seeing the ghost in the fog, Li decided to go to the next place.
Because the ghost in the fog did not look familiar to him.
"..."
After walking for a while, Li Mo was surprised to find that the ghost behind him had not been shaken off.
His relationship with the ghost became the relationship between a guardian and the children when he took the children from the orphanage to school.
Li Mo walked in front and the ghost followed behind.
"..."
This made Li Mo recall what the knocking ghost did when he first came to the haunted house.
Wherever the knocking ghost goes, black fog fills the air and hundreds of ghosts follow.
When they were on the second floor of the haunted house, the knocking ghost broke the usual rules and came to the haunted bed, letting the wronged souls and evil ghosts around him crawl under the bed and kill Kanagawa Qimeng.
"Since the ghost group didn't target me, let's take this opportunity to further search for Xi'er's location."
"Where will Xi'er be tonight?"
"..."
Li Mo pondered for a moment, and finally looked up, his eyes focused on a familiar spot in the west.
If Xier is really a witch who brings disaster, then the place where she is must be the most polluted place in the world - the haunted house.
Li Mo reassessed himself, "Bedroom on the third floor, study on the fourth floor, bedroom on the fifth floor."
"With only these three places, I can only reach the fourth floor at most, and no further. The Soul Crossing Passage separates the floors."
"I'm probably in the other world right now. Even if I trigger the 'alone' rule, it doesn't matter. But in this case, all the ghosts in the haunted house can attack me."
Li Mo glanced at the wronged souls in the black fog, and a bold idea emerged in his mind.
But this idea cannot be put into practice casually.
The integrity of the wronged soul is very low, and the strange pistol can easily resist it.
In addition, Li Mo only dared to take the risk because he knew a safe place.
But if you are not careful when replacing ghosts, you will be attacked by strange rules.
Countless facts told Li Mo that human consciousness was extremely weak in the face of strange laws, even the weakest ghost or the strongest-willed person.
Once a dispute occurs, without external intervention, it will ultimately end in failure.
Ghosts are immortal and they never disappear.
In the process of controlling ghosts, ghosts are also polluting people. Once the balance is broken, only people will die.
Li Mo strangely took out the notebook from his arms and said softly, "Long time no see. Ten years may be just a moment to you. So, let's start the next transaction."
The notebook was opened, and a gloomy and terrifying aura flowed out of the pages, with a faint sound of the devil's humming.
But even if he is a demon, it doesn't matter as long as he can achieve his goal.
Because everything has a price.
Just as Li Mo was about to ask about the notebook, a chilling aura appeared behind him. It was so close, it almost touched his back.
The coldness instantly washed away all the temperature in the body, as if falling into an ice cave.
Li Mo turned his head abruptly, his left hand involuntarily raised, and he muttered uncontrollably, "Usurp, stop my body."
The ghost is inside me?
