Weird collapse, chasing husband crematorium

"Right now I want to throw you into a pile of fake humans. I know Mei has installed a human emotional center in you, and you will feel fear just like a human."

【…】

[It was so long ago that it could be called ancient times.]

[The tribes were organized into groups, with the chief leading the tribe's people into well-ventilated caves.]

[No one knew why the chief took them to live in the cave instead of in the plains or mountains.]

【A hundred years of hustle and bustle are gone in a flash.】

The tribe had lived in the cave for a long time. They would go out hunting during the day and return to the cave before sunset, sealing the exit tightly.

[At night, people in the cave do not light torches.]

[This is a sign from their ancestors, as if they are trying to avoid something.]

[Another point: absolutely avoid contact with people from other tribes! Especially if you see a stranger smiling at you for the first time, run away. This is an iron rule!]

Later generations don't understand. A dozen strong men armed with weapons could bring down even lions and tigers. Furthermore, they invented bows and arrows, working as a team. Why would they be afraid?

Xukong Wanzang was telling the story, and Li Mo was also observing the general meaning of the murals.

Indeed, although the carving is quite abstract, one can vaguely see that the young people living in the cave a hundred years later are very inflated.

They mastered the manufacture of long-range and melee weapons, as well as the use of fire to roast prey and keep warm, and even to drive away and kill enemies.

There were several young people stepping on something in the mural. Li Mo looked at it for a long time before he realized that it was probably a carving of a ferocious beast like a tiger or a wolf.

The ability to carve words shows that compared to the primitive stories told by Kallen, the people in the cave have learned to communicate in language.

In terms of time, the underground cave came after the mountain cave.

Because of "that thing" that happened, humans hid in caves.

It makes sense, Li Mo thought, and twisted his long golden hair around and around.

Pseudo-humans are imitating humans and they are incapable of innovation.

Since the beginning of human beings, humans have always been learning new things.

If nothing happens to the person living in the cave for a long time, it means that this method can be used to identify and avoid fake people!

The younger generation always wanted to return to the surface and stop living in caves. They believed that the night also belonged to humans, and that if they lit torches, the light would cover the entire tribe.

[Whenever this happens, the older generation will scold them harshly and forbid them strictly.]

But when young people ask, the older generation hesitates and can't give a reason, only knowing to follow the rules passed down by their ancestors.

[At least they have been safe for so many years...]

"I see. Because pseudo-humans can only imitate humans, they initially didn't know the concept of humans living in caves. So they imitated hunters wandering in the forest, just like the other ghosts at the beginning."

"But when the cave dwellers brought the pseudo-humans to their cave dwelling, the pseudo-humans' patterns changed. They knew humans would appear in caves."

"The clever people in the tribe realized this and selected normal humans to live in the caves."

"The pseudo-humans lack this information. They haven't seen people living in caves, so they have no idea what's going on. It's impossible for them to find people living in caves."

"Plus the iron rule of no contact with strangers."

“Without a ‘guide’, the fake people would never be able to find the people living in the cave.”

What are you talking about? Cave?

"Just continue analyzing the information I got from other places."

【Row. 】

【Originally everyone thought that life would go on smoothly like this, until one day.】

[As night falls, a flame lights up in the dark cave, and a young man picks up a torch...]

Li Mo suddenly perked up, "Please tell me about this part in detail."

【Um. 】

[The young man, dissatisfied with the older generation's discipline, lit a torch in the darkness to demonstrate his resolve to rebel - probability of occurrence: 7.98%.]

The young man violated the rules and met a strange woman during the day, and the two became husband and wife. Knowing the older generation's fear of the night, the man decided to light a torch at night to invite the woman into his tribe, using the flames to prove that she was a normal person. (Probability of occurrence: 11.01%)

The man did not follow the rules and spent too much time with strangers during the day. The man who returned to the cave was no longer the same person - probability of occurrence: 77.87%.

【…】

After analyzing the information provided by the murals and ancient texts, Xukong Wanzang listed all the possibilities.

Because in the previous mural, no matter what mistakes the man made, there were always two brothers standing beside him.

And a bird that is not afraid of people always stays on his shoulder.

But in the later murals, the man lit the torch and the two brothers hid behind the crowd, as if they had noticed something.

There was no trace of the bird in the cave. The beloved bird that he had raised for many years disappeared inexplicably.

In the mural, everyone's expression is represented by two dots and one horizontal line. The two dots represent the eyes, and the horizontal line represents the mouth.

Only the young man has two points and an arc. The two points are still his eyes, but his mouth is upturned.

This means he must have been smiling at that time.

In a closed space, the relatives in your memory light torches in violation of the rules passed down by your ancestors, and stare at everyone in the cave with strange expressions.

The two best brothers noticed something was wrong at the first moment and hid at the innermost part of the crowd.

The closest bird did not follow your loved ones back to the cave.

His appearance hasn't changed, his voice hasn't changed, his memory hasn't changed, yet everything seems to have changed...

"Then?"

You can imagine what happened next.

The caves were no longer a safe place for humans, and those who had originally lived there fled in all directions. It is unknown what their fate was.

[Wait? This is...]

[There's another sentence at the end of the mural. Do you want to hear it?]

"Gululu..."

At this time, Li Mo covered his stomach and was almost fainting from hunger.

I'm already in my teenage years, and my body becomes weak if I don't eat for a day.

"Go ahead and tell me, the more detailed the better." Li Mo agreed casually.

[It said: I saw you, I left these on purpose, I will appear by your side tonight.]

“…Drafting it?”

Li Mo suddenly stood up and cursed. He had wondered why there were such complete murals and texts preserved in the cave.

The fake people should know that if this information is spread, it will expose their existence, so they should erase it.

"This is a trap..."

I was so hungry that I forgot about it.

"Solve problems when they arise, don't panic..."

Li Mo quickly calmed down. It was daytime now and the fake person couldn't find him.

【What should I do? It seems like you are being watched. 】

"You're wrong. We're the ones being targeted. If I'm replaced by a fake person, you won't survive."

"The most urgent task now is to find out who this fake person is. Damn, it's been too long, there's no way to find out."

Li Mo was feeling a bit irritated. He wrote down the first rule of pseudo-humans in his diary: "First, pseudo-humans can appear at any time point and any place in history. They are everywhere."

What was originally just speculation has now become a reality.

The only clue is a key message left by an ancient pseudo-man: [I will appear by your side tonight...]

But how could the ancient pseudo-man know that he would come to the cave millions of years in the future?

unless……

"That's bad. It's possible that the pseudo-human has the ability to communicate with his future self. Even if it's not complete, it's enough."

"After they kill a person, they will take their place. Their memories are interconnected, and triggering certain patterns will allow them to glimpse certain memories of the past or future."

"It would be fine if I didn't understand the last sentence, but I did, and that triggered the rule - agree to the pseudo-person's request."

"Ghosts are very straightforward in this regard. If they say they'll appear near me at night, they'll definitely appear. There's no way to avoid them."

"The key lies in its current identity..."

"What are you afraid of? Just find a deserted place and kill whoever comes your way."

Xukong Wanzang put forward his own opinion. Based on previous experience, fake people can be killed.

Since it can be killed, there is nothing to be afraid of.

"Alas..." Li Mo sighed, "You don't understand weirdness, but I do."

"Before, I was able to kill the fake people because they knew I was just suspicious. Once they are sure I know their identities, do you think the pattern will change?"

What changes?

"Did you really not figure this out? You can't even apply what you've learned to other situations?"

【…】

"You mean, if the fake person knew from the beginning that their identity was exposed, they would directly enter the second stage."

"Yes, and I can't resist the second stage of killing now, even if I can kill it before it attacks."

[Then kill me. I can mimic the Holy Judge of Heavenly Fire.]

"What if it's Francis?"

[…It can’t be such a coincidence, right?]

"Indeed, it's not that coincidental. If it was him, I'd just consider myself unlucky. Francis is the only opponent I can't beat in Europe right now."

"Even if it's not him, I can't kill the fake man."

【why? 】

"Because I agreed to the request of the pseudo-man, if I kill the pseudo-man that appeared before me, it will immediately be reborn into my body and resurrect within me."

"It will be a real Barbie Q then."

So now you can't fight back, and you can't run away?

"..."

Li Mo was silent for a long time, looking at the distorted line of words on the mural, and a feeling of powerlessness suddenly surged in his heart.

"Yes."

【…】

There are less than three hours left until dark. I've noted that the fake people appear around 9pm. Have you figured out how to survive?

"Survive? No, but I have a way to die together." Li Mo's mouth curled up slightly.

Theoretically speaking, he still has a chance of surviving, but it's not very high.

【well?】

"You like playing with time and space, right? You like cheating, right?"

"Since you won't let me play, then no one else should play!"
