Weird collapse, chasing husband crematorium

"Brother, please don't leave. Kill Xier and everything will be over." Xier pleaded pitifully.

Hiding under the bed, Li Mo couldn't see her expression.

His silence was the answer.

"There's nothing here. Xier will definitely be caught..."

Li Mo turned his back and walked to the door. The wronged souls in the corridor and hall swarmed in, each of them showing a painful and hideous expression.

"Just hide under the bed, and leave the rest to your brother."

Looking at the endless number of wronged souls, they were killed for no reason.

Being killed by ghosts will not easily turn them into ghosts, but they have been killed countless times, the pollution has accumulated, and their minds have been distorted.

Eventually, he degenerated into a weird ghost, trying to kill the culprit who caused all the tragedies.

Li Mo stood there for a while. His current identity was a knocking ghost, and he could devour other ghosts like a knocking ghost.

However, it cannot obtain the patterns and abilities of the ghosts it devours, it can only expand its size.

The "alone" rule in the surface world is aimed at humans. Triggering the rule will cause one to fall into the inner world.

The "being alone" rule in the other world also applies to humans, but there are some special things in his memory.

Perhaps, it will be difficult to come back alive after this departure, and even if you come back, you will not be able to come back alive.

But he couldn't escape, because behind him were his family from the outside world.

If the inner world is allowed to be destroyed, the outer world will also collapse at the moment of destruction.

By then, Qiluo, Xing, the kids who had just been admitted to university, and many more...

They didn't deserve this ending.

Thinking of this, Li Mo's mood became heavy. After calming down, he said to Xier earnestly:

"This is a horrible hell filled with endless pain. No matter how hard I try, I'm just desperately striving for a false happiness. Everything will return to square one, just like the beginning. Regardless of whether I succeed or not, the process is in vain, the ending is in vain, the salvation is in vain... everything is in vain. I can't save you."

"But this isn't an excuse to escape. Making choices and bearing the consequences is a subject you need to constantly explore as you grow up. This is also my final lesson for you."

“We may be able to escape something at a certain moment, but sooner or later, we will be forced to move forward with no escape.”

"I will bear the pain you deserve in your place."

"Even if a child is a bad boy, my brother will not let him go."

"After all, you are my sister, aren't you?"

After saying that, Li Mo left quickly.

In the room, Xier's curled up body stretched out, her trembling body stopped moving, her teeth bit her lips, and her eyes involuntarily lowered.

Outside the corridor, Li Mo took out his notebook. After more than ten years, he finally picked up his destiny.

"Old friend, it's time for you to play your role."

"There's another kind of 'left alone' in the inner world, targeting ghosts, right? People in this world don't fall into the outer world if they're left alone, but ghosts never do. Ghosts' judgments are different from humans'. Now I've taken on the role of the knocking ghost. What if... I eat all the ghosts? Will Xier be the only ghost left in this world? Then, triggering the 'left alone' rule for ghosts, she'll return to the outer world, back to... everyone."

The notebook naturally turned to the first page.

[My name is Li Mo. When you see this sentence, I will be dead.]

[In order to bring Xi'er back to another beautiful world, I tried to eat all the ghosts.]

[One hundred and second, my body became extremely bloated, as if it would explode at any moment.]

[327th, my body was torn into pieces, and I died.]

"I can't just eat the ghosts. I need a more efficient method, such as swallowing the source of the wronged souls: the black fog."

[My name is Li Mo. When you see this sentence, I will be dead.]

[I changed my mind. The source of the Devouring Ghost: Black Mist.]

I succeeded, but my essence had changed. The black mist wiped out all my emotions and humanity. I became a ghost, just like the knocking ghost in my memory.

"Still not working? In that case, I'd like to hear your opinion."

"It doesn't matter if I dig a pit or set a trap. I'll take you with me when I die."

The first page quickly emerged with distorted, askew content.

[My name is Li Mo. When you see this sentence, I have survived completely.]

"Ok?"

Li Mo was a little surprised. This time the notebook didn't seem to be playing word games. Not only was it not ambiguous, but it used attributives to reassure Li Mo.

Could it be the emotion of meeting again after not seeing each other for more than ten years?

Obviously not, Weird doesn't have this habit.

This made Li Mo think of the last time he used a notebook.

[There's more to killing demons than just devouring them. You can also turn them into living people, just like the relationship between Kanagawa Yumu and Seele Fleur.]

[The fourth floor of the haunted house in the other world is not a soul-transferring passage, but I think I can use the special features of the fourth floor to create a passage for souls to return to life.]

[This is where the inside and outside meet, the line of communication between life and death.]

[I manipulate the black fog and gather all the ghosts in it.]

[With the power of two storybooks, I separated the ghosts, allowing them to wander according to patterns in the endless soul-crossing passage; allowing people to live in another beautiful world.]

[All people are ghosts, but they are unaware of this, and their laws are forcibly stripped away. After death, they re-enter the soul-crossing channel and enter one of countless past reincarnations.]

[I took Xi'er Fule'ai into the Soul Crossing Passage, just as we were about to reach the end.]

I called out her name.

【My name is Li Mo, and I survived.】

Chapter 63 "The End of the Star" (8k)

[In the Soul Crossing Passage, no living person can leave, and staying there will inevitably lead to death.]

[But the dead soul is different. They will lose all consciousness and be reborn into one of countless reincarnations when they reach the end.]

[I only need to die in the Soul Crossing Channel, not perish, to return to where I want to go.]

My name is Li Mo, and I hope the choice I make is the right one.

"..."

With the experience of Saint Freya's funeral, Li Mo had a clearer idea of the purpose of the first page of the notebook.

The notebook attempts to induce its own suicide and then be reborn in the form it desires.

But the purpose of doing this is still unclear. Perhaps... it is waiting for a suitable opportunity to control its own body.

Li Mo believes that it has the ability to do so.

Because the notebook has never revealed what it can do so far, Li Mo only knows some of the rules, but is completely unaware of the strange abilities it possesses.

"Did the Soul Crossing Channel attract Guiqi..."

"I'm now in the place of the Knocking Ghost. I'm no longer a living person, so I won't die in the Soul Crossing Passage. I just need to walk to the end and wait for Guiqi to kill me."

"Guiqi won't let herself go, so she will freeze time and space. She will kill me first, and then eat me."

"The Soul Crossing Channel will be forced to disappear, and Guiqi will kill me. The laws conflict. As the target of the conflict, I have a chance to break free from the restrictions of both laws and survive as a complete person, corresponding to the 'completeness' mentioned in the notebook."

"If all goes well, I will break free from the time-space lock and retain my memories, strange abilities, and everything I have now."

Li Mo murmured, but these are all ideal situations. Reality is very sensitive and often does not go in the direction you want.

It is more likely that Guiqi's laws suppress the laws of the soul-transferring channel.

It is also possible that the laws of the soul-crossing channel suppressed Guiqi, causing him to disappear and enter the next reincarnation.

And then... the same ending repeats.

Maybe this is not his first reincarnation at all.

But no matter what, Li Mo had to take a gamble.

Not to mention that the destruction of the inner world will lead to the destruction of the outer world.

Rescue Xier and the other children in the orphanage who are just starting their beautiful lives.

And... Qi Luo.

According to the description of the girl in junior high school, a long time had passed in the inner and outer worlds after his death.

After her death, Shigure Kirara will find a way to pay off her debt to Cecilia, and then...

"I must hurry back and tell Qiluo that I'm still alive."

Thinking of this, Li Mo no longer hesitated.

Because he has no capital to delay.

Before going to the fourth floor, there is one thing Li Mo must do: eliminate all the ghosts that have climbed up to the fifth floor.

"It's a bit of a lot, but not yet the 327 the notebook says."

The notebook doesn't lie. There are far fewer ghosts on the fifth floor. Even if they are all eaten, it is still within his capacity.

Li Mo also had a feeling that before the ghost in his stomach separated, he seemed to be able to use the ghost inside to act as a strange pistol and collide with other laws.

The air on the fifth floor was chilly. Gradually, the black mist was stained with scarlet again, and blood foam floated in the air.

A strong fishy smell spread, filling every corner and crevice of the fifth floor.

Li Mo's figure became bloated, but the shadows of his feet remained thin.

Walking to the stairs, Li Mo quickly came to the fourth floor and after a brief thought, destroyed the stairs between the fourth and fifth floors.

Only in this way can he protect Xier from the invasion of evil spirits while he is renovating the fourth floor.

"Control the black fog and gather all the ghosts here."

"And then, with the power of two storybooks..."

"Do storybooks have weird powers?"

Li Mo was confused. He picked up the storybook several times, but could not sense any strange and unique aura from it.

Confused, Li Mo first gathered the black fog on the fourth floor, and then spread it to other parts of the world.

The black fog has a pattern of attracting ghosts and trapping them inside.

Li Mo didn't know where this rule came from, but since it existed, he would use it as reasonably as possible.

"The ghosts will follow the black fog to the end and will soon reach the fourth floor of the haunted house. I must transform the fourth floor into a soul-crossing passage before it is filled with ghosts."

Li Mo walked to the bookshelf and quickly took down two fairy tale books.

Opening the cover pages of the two storybooks, the first one was titled "Kanagawa Yume" and the second one was titled "Seele Freya".

"If there is no strange power, then how can I create a soul-crossing passage on the fourth floor?"

Li Mo took out his notebook. Now was not the time to consider gains and losses. He should use the notebook when necessary.

[My name is Li Mo, and I'm on the fourth floor of the haunted house.]

[The black fog is linking all the ghosts in this world to rush to the fourth floor, but the space on the fourth floor of the haunted house is limited. Soon the ghosts will fill the fourth floor.]

[I need to create the soul-crossing passage in my memory before the space on the fourth floor is filled. It is a passage that will never end.]

[The only destination is the death of the host in a certain reincarnation cycle, and the host of the soul-crossing channel can leave to complete conservation.]

I opened the two fairy tale books to the front pages and covered the names of "Kanagawa Yume" and "Seele Fleurie" with blood. Then, I wrote the names of "Seele Fleurie" and "Kanagawa Yume" below the covered pages.

[Swap the two names to complete the loop.]

【Then, I will get what I want. 】

"Swap the names on the title pages of the two books..." Li Mo pondered for a moment and bit off his finger.

The wound was healing rapidly, and Li Mo took advantage of the fact that his fingers had not yet recovered and immediately covered the names of the owners of the two books with blood.

The blurred flesh and blood rubbed against the paper, and Li Mo wrote down the names of Kanagawa Qimeng and Xier Fuleai.

At this point, the names of the two storybooks are swapped.
