But without exception, no one was able to complete the ritual.
This also means that in countless reincarnations, no matter who it is, no matter what method is used, it is impossible to stop the spread of weirdness.
Li Mo walked past the picture and came to the bookshelf, where two storybooks were covered in dust.
One of them had Kanagawa Yumu's name on it, and the other had Sile Freya's name on it.
However, the blood-stained newspaper sandwiched in the middle disappeared.
"The bloody newspaper is in the surface world."
Li Mo opened the storybook, and the content inside had not changed at all.
Li Mo put the storybook back to its original place, sighed, and walked straight to the stairs.
He was going to the fifth floor to meet Xier.
"Tap...tap..."
The sound of crisp footsteps rang out, not like wronged ghosts floating in the air. Li Mo stepped on the old wooden boards, which made a creaking sound.
Although the floor was full of the vicissitudes of time, it was still able to withstand Li Mo's weight and did not break down when he stepped on it.
Soon, Li Mo arrived on the fifth floor.
The layout is extremely familiar, exactly the same as I remember.
Li Mo walked to his bedroom with ease. The door was closed and the candles outside the wall kept shaking after he arrived, even though he was dead now.
"..."
"Heh, it reminds me of the ghost that inexplicably appeared after Xier left that night."
"I laughed at it for not being able to kill itself, so it seems..."
Li Mo lowered his head and looked at the shadow under his feet, which was also thin.
It was very similar to the ghost I met when I first went out, or rather, exactly the same.
"The silhouette of that ghost is almost the same as my body shape."
"I have speculated that this is the true shadow of the knocking ghost after it lost the ghost it swallowed."
"But ghosts don't have shadows, only living people do."
"The ghost knocking on the door is a ghost, but also a living person."
"I am a ghost, but also a living person."
Combining the two, Li Mo came to the conclusion that the ghost standing behind the door staring at him might be himself now.
Li Mo pushed open the door and found an unlit candle on the wall.
"nobody."
Li Mo took a look and saw that Xier was not in the room.
"No, it's probably because I didn't do something, like..."
"Light this candle."
Li Mo took out a strange pistol and fired a bullet wrapped in dark blue fire. It brushed past the wick and ignited an orange flame.
In the candlelight, the room gradually became clear, although it still seemed empty on the surface.
Li Mo walked to the bedside, sighed again, and looked at the ghost bed with complicated eyes.
He immediately squatted down and stretched out his right hand.
"Come out, I know you're in there."
"Xier, I'm here."
Li Mo's gentle words were met with only silence.
There was a sudden tremor under the bed, and a faint whimper was heard. Xier, who had covered her face with her hands, slowly let go. She saw the outstretched hand and wanted to hold it but didn't dare to.
Li Mo was puzzled for two seconds when he saw Xier had not come out yet. Then he turned around and looked at the group of ferocious ghosts behind him.
They seemed to have discovered that their enemy was in the room, and their strange eyeballs kept shaking, scanning every corner of the bedroom.
Finally, the eyes of the wronged souls were all focused on the bottom of the bed, passing by Li Mo and walking to the bedside.
The stiff limbs kept swaying back and forth, and he could never bend down.
But it was only a matter of time before a way to bend over was found.
"Clap!"
A wronged soul fell to the ground with its entire body flat on its face.
"Squeak... squeak..."
Its neck twisted, its bones dislocated, and suddenly, a shrill roar came out of its mouth.
The eyes of the wronged ghost were fixed on Xier under the bed. Its limbs were like those of a spider, and it supported its body in a strange posture as it crawled under the bed.
Li Mo took out a strange pistol and put the muzzle to the head of the wronged soul that fell to the ground.
"Who allowed you to act on your own?!"
"Oh!"
With the sound of a gunshot, the dark blue underworld fire instantly devoured the wronged soul. When the underworld fire burned out, only a charred corpse with a painful expression was left on the ground.
The wronged souls were burned into silence and could not rise again.
At the same time, there were sounds of falling to the ground one after another behind him, as if all the wronged souls knew that doing this would allow them to see the person under the bed.
Li Mo turned around immediately, frowning.
There are too many wronged souls, and the strange pistol only has a magazine of twenty rounds, which is not enough to suppress them.
As long as a wronged soul crawls under the bed, only death awaits Xier.
No, she will not die, and the wronged spirits cannot kill her, but what is the difference between that and the first week in the second fairy tale book?
Regret in endless pain.
"..."
Black fog filled the entire house, and wronged souls crowded the first three floors.
Just when Li Mo was in a dilemma, a familiar female voice came from under the bed.
"Brother... please kill me."
"Kill me and everything will be over..."
Li Mo took out a strange pistol and pulled the trigger again and again to suppress the wronged soul that was about to enter under the bed.
However, this is just a drop in the bucket.
Li Mo rejected Xier's proposal. He didn't want to do it according to Gui Mo's idea.
Indeed, killing Xier can stop the spread of this weirdness.
In this cycle of reincarnation, the disappearance of Xier's consciousness means that the source of the weirdness has been cut off from its origin. Even if there is a fact of existence later, it will only fall into silence forever.
Just like Guihua can erase a memory to erase the corresponding reality, erasing a ghost's memory of becoming a ghost can cause the ghost to fall silent.
There will be no recovery without other sources of pollution.
But to kill the child he had watched grow up... he couldn't do it.
"Brother, is that you?" Xier suddenly asked a very strange question, as if there were two Li Mo in the world.
Li Mo simply replied calmly, "Yes, I will take you home, back to another world, a home where everyone is still alive."
"No... If you don't kill me here, more people will die... Everyone will die..."
"I'm sorry...Brother, I lied to you."
"Seele has actually read both fairy tales many times and knows the words in them. The princess will turn into a witch, and Seele will turn into... a ghost."
"Every night, my body would kill many people uncontrollably. When Xier woke up, she could only run away, and keep running away... She could only hide in her brother's room to avoid being discovered."
"Those who were killed by Xier have come looking for her. Xier can't escape... She can't escape anymore..."
"They are already dead. The dead should stay in hell, no matter who they are, including myself." Li Mo said coldly, pulled the trigger, and suppressed a few more wronged souls.
The strange pistol has very few bullets left.
Li Mo stared at the strange pistol and suddenly asked, "I've treated you badly in this world, haven't I?"
Xier hesitated for a few seconds and said "hmm" weakly.
After receiving a positive answer, Li Mo finally understood why he felt his personality was incomplete and why he was restored to wholeness after coming to this world.
Reason and sensibility are separated, rules and emotions are contrary to each other, and this is where the sense of disharmony comes from.
There is no doubt that Guimo saw the ghost's memory and came up with the most efficient way from it.
He compiled a tragic life for Seele, causing Seele to develop another personality like the princess in the second round.
But whether it is Kanagawa Yume or Seele Fleurie, their weird nature will not change. Even if they are separated, no matter how alive they are, this fact cannot be changed.
The other personality will inherit the strange properties, but will not be revealed.
From then on, one person was tortured by wronged souls in the reincarnation of the other world, and the guilt of killing the other person remained in his heart, which would never end.
Just like the princess in episode one, who tortured herself to a cross in a church, letting the flames burn her body, dying, being reborn, dying again, and being reborn again...
The other personality lived to the age of eighteen and was then killed.
Because of the characteristics of a living person, she will die; but because of her strange characteristics, she will only remain silent and not die.
Ghosts have no concept of death. Death to ghosts is just a period of silence.
Human death is eternal, and being replaced by a ghost means eternal silence.
This is the ending that Guimo is keen to see.
——Exchange so-called sacrifice for inevitable and absolute victory.
Even in the present, Li Mo believes that this approach is perfect, making rational use of every law, every relationship, and every level of logic.
Society, the parties involved, the differences and similarities between ghosts and humans, and even oneself are all taken into account.
His kindness to Xier in the outside world will only make Xier feel guilty.
This became the reason why the princess voluntarily walked into the church in the first week.
Guimo's suppression and disgust towards Xier in the inner world deepened Xier's dependence on him.
This is the reason for both love and hate, love and hate are all for the same person.
The same is probably true for death in substitution. Kanagawa Kimu dies once, and Seele dies once, symbolizing the demise of two personalities.
An impeccable plan...
All Li Mo has to do is kill Xier in the other world, that's all.
"Reason tells me that if I kill you now, all tragedies will come to an easy end, and no one will die in this world anymore." Li Mo said in a deep voice.
"Yes, brother, please put an end to Xier's..."
"But you are my family, the child I raised with my care..."
Li Mo pulled the trigger and fired all the remaining bullets, suppressing a small number of wronged souls.
More and more wronged souls emerged from the black fog and crawled under the bed.
Ghosts cannot be killed, just like the energy in the universe, they will not disappear, but will only exist in another form.
Even if it dies, it will come back again. It is a dead thing, but it is still alive...
Li Mo was silent, thinking of the ghost knocking on the door, so he reached out and pulled out a wronged soul whose head had already crawled under the bed.
Do you see this option?
After a while, the sound of chewing flesh and blood could be heard in the room, the stench of decay filled the air, and Li Moumou's shy mocking voice could be heard.
This sound echoed repeatedly, and gradually, Li Mo's figure became bloated, only the shadow under his feet remained thin.
"Xi'er, how about we play a game? You hide until eight o'clock tomorrow morning. If you're not found, you win."
"Xi'er doesn't want to play this game...it's so dark...so empty..."
