In addition, Mei claimed to be Li Mo's boss. Wouldn't killing her make Li Mo very distressed?

Mei saw Xi'er's confusion and said slowly, "Have you heard of the story of 'Paper Man Returning to Life'?"

Xier shook her head: "No, it sounds like a ghost story."

Mei walked forward and took out a paper figure without eyes from her body. It was shriveled and fragile, as if it could be torn into pieces with just a slight pull.

But Xier perked up because she felt a strange aura above, although it was very faint.

It seems that it is not the main body, but a branch.

Mei: "This is the real body."

Xi'er: "???"

Mei: "In fact, every paper figure is the real person. There is no such thing as a substitute."

"Strange Files: The Paper Man Returns."

“Paper ghost.”

"Activity time: All day."

"Practice: After having eyes painted with human blood, they are resurrected and kill the 'painter'."

"Killing method: Find the character's weapon and attack when the target is not paying attention. It is very weak and can be easily guarded against."

"Features: Retains all of the Painter's memories and consciousness, and possesses a strong immunity to external cognitive interference."

"Grade: D-."

"..."

Xier hesitated for a long time and couldn't help asking, "What's the point of this?"

Mei paused, "When dealing with something strange, people's cognition will be disrupted by various rules, causing hallucinations and incorrect judgments."

"Thinking the surroundings were warm, he undressed in the icy snow and froze to death half an hour later."

"He mistook a trap for a way to escape, unknowingly walked into a trap set by the devil, and died in a daze."

"I thought I was still alive until I saw my own corpse with my own eyes..."

“Humans are too fragile and insignificant. Even the most incomplete rules can easily take over the high ground of consciousness.”

"But as a leader, you must remain absolutely sober and rational, even if it means resorting to any means necessary."

Xier suddenly interrupted: "Wait, you mean..."

Mei responded calmly, "When Li Mo dealt with the strangeness of the source of my world, his cognition had been severely disturbed and he could no longer clearly perceive the world."

"After entering the darkness, wherever there are people, there is a ghost every ten meters. Once you lose sight of them, the ghost will rush up behind you at an extremely fast speed and break your neck."

"Before this phenomenon completely spread to my city, I found the paper ghost on my own."

"After I cracked its rules, I found that the paper ghost could be used for my own purposes, so I took a gamble."

"Just like the situation I'm facing right now, should I trust Li Mo to solve everything on his own? Or should I silently give him a push from behind, using my own life as a beacon to dispel the disorderly darkness?"

Xi'er: "..."

"I understand. Although I don't know exactly what you want to do, I imagine it must be an extremely difficult task."

"You really should get some sleep. You have dark circles under your eyes, Mei."

Xier didn't ask any more about what happened exactly.

Betting your life with fear and hope is a dead end and leaves you with no choice.

Li Mo probably doesn't know about this yet. He may be able to vaguely guess it, but he definitely can't think of what it is specifically, because that past is based on the interference of his cognition, and the original appearance of things has long become blurred.

Xier stretched out her fingers and slid them gently across Mei's neck.

Mei's body couldn't help but tremble, which surprised Xier very much.

She originally thought Mei was the kind of survivor who was absolutely rational, fearless, and no longer afraid of death...

Xier: "Are you afraid of death?"

Xier quietly looked at Mei who collapsed on the ground, with dark blood oozing out bit by bit from the crack of her neck.

Mei felt her body getting colder and her consciousness gradually blurred.

The pupils in the eyes quickly disappeared, as if they had turned back into paper figures without eyes, leaving only the turbid white conjunctiva, which was extremely empty.

At the last moment of his life, Mei finally spoke, his voice trembling:

"I don't want to...die."

If she dies, there is nothing left. She has not yet proved the "issue of love" or the value of her existence.

When he was dying, the person he didn't expect was not Li Mo, but Shi Yu Qiluo.

The girl who can be carefree and truly stay with Li Mo forever.

She was envious, even... it would not be an exaggeration to say that she was jealous.

Although Mei never showed it in front of outsiders, she wanted to switch identities with Shigure Kirara from the bottom of her heart.

Shi Yu Qiluo and Li Mo were both willing to die for each other, and died voluntarily.

Including the twisted Guiqi, her predecessor Kiana and Li Mo also had an extremely sincere and pure love, even if the result was a complete tragedy.

So, what is the relationship between her and Li Mo?

Are they fellow sufferers? Companions protecting each other? Or are they saviors who walk side by side for a verbal agreement?

But...but...these are not what she wants.

What she really wanted was to have the same little happiness as Kiana, Shigure Kirara and the others, which was as short-lived as a firefly.

In the eigenworld, Paddo is staying in Mei's room, with a pile of paper dolls on the bed.

After seeing the paper man's head separated from its body, Padu immediately took out the blood that Mei had prepared long ago, put her finger into the vessel filled with Mei's blood, and tapped it twice. Then, two strange red lights appeared in the eyes of the new paper man.

Time passed minute by minute, but the paper man still showed no signs of resurrection.

Pardo swallowed the can nervously, sinking her teeth into the cat's brain.

"Oh no, oh no! Dr. Mei's plan won't fail, right? What if Brother Mo comes back and sees Dr. Mei is gone?..."

Padu was so frightened that she reached out her hand, wanting to add more blood to the paper man's eyes.

Before Pado could realize her idea, the paper man's shriveled body expanded rapidly, and the bare paper grew fluffy and gorgeous dark purple hair.

The only flaw is that there is a crack on the neck and the visible dark circles are still there.

"Dr. Mei, you're back! I was so scared, I thought you wouldn't come back! Fortunately, fortunately... it's good that you're back, otherwise Brother Mo would definitely question me, and if I lied, I would get beaten up again, wuwuwu..."

Padu hugged Mei tightly, buried her head in Mei's generous chest and rubbed it continuously.

Mei looked around at the familiar scene and reached out to touch her neck.

The cracks are healing rapidly.

But this is not critical.

The most important thing is that her consciousness is clearer, which is the opposite of blindness and stupidity.

"..."

"There are two left."

"Hey? What two? Dr. Mei, what are you talking about? Let's not do such dangerous things in the future, okay?" Paduo raised her head cautiously and looked at Mei innocently.

Mei perfunctorily placed her hand on Paddo's head and rubbed it.

"Don't tell Li Mo about what happened today. Just pretend you know nothing. Or... I can help you erase this memory."

Mei looked at Padu with a kind face, slowly stood up, walked to the corner, opened the drawer, and took out a strange comb from it.

"Ah... Haha, what happened today? Haven't I been sleeping in Sister Ai Li's room all the time? How did I end up in your room, Dr. Mei? This is weird... Uh-huh, this is weird... Ha, haha..."

Pado smiled foolishly and moved closer to the door, then immediately rushed out and returned to Alicia's room.

As far as Paddo could remember, Mei had never used that comb to comb her hair.

A comb is obviously a strange thing. Having your hair combed by it may not kill you, but it will definitely cause you to forget certain memories.

The reason is very simple. Padu saw her own hair on the comb...

It seems that I have been punished by Dr. Mei, but my memory has been erased and I can't remember it.

Anyone in this family can be offended except Dr. Mei.

After all, as long as Li Mo was still rational, he wouldn't hit anyone casually. When Dr. Mei got ruthless, he had countless ways to make people suffer and not dare to fight back, or rather, they couldn't fight back.

In the bedroom, there was only one person left.

The feeling of fatigue came flooding in, and the clearer the consciousness was, the more clearly one could feel the fatigue and tiredness.

Mei took out the prepared medicine and swallowed it, forcing herself to wake up.

She knew very well that once she fell asleep, all her previous efforts would be wasted.

Everyone could relax, but she couldn't. She had to stay awake and hold on until the moment Li Mo strangely revived.

--------

In Yae Village, roosters crowed loudly in the courtyard of Chiyo's grandmother's house, and nearby, several families' chickens in pens were also crowing loudly.

There was a knock on the door, and Li Mo instantly woke up from silence and heard the crowing of a rooster.

"I suddenly felt uncomfortable all over."

Chapter 21 Fifty Thousand Years Under the Cherry Blossom Tree

"I actually fell asleep last night. I hope nothing unexpected happened."

Li Mo straightened his clothes, walked to the east window and opened it completely.

Walking down from the shrine, the villagers did not keep chickens in pens, and there were only a few courtyards. This must have been because outsiders who came to Yae Village were pointed out by the elders.

In this way, ideas about the laws of sacrifice can be easily verified.

"There's nothing wrong with my body. I don't know why I felt so tired yesterday."

Li Mo jumped out of the second-floor window and came to the first floor. Because it was early in the morning, there were few people in the village.

Grandma Chiyo and little Chiyo have not woken up yet. What happened yesterday delayed their rest time and caused them a lot of mental stress.

He has become accustomed to it, but Xiao Chiyo and Grandma Chiyo don't think so.

The courtyard was in a mess. The peach forest had been gnawed beyond recognition, with broken trunks, damaged branches and leaves, and debris all over the ground.

The threshold was also chewed up, so Li Mo could leave easily without feeling any hindrance.

"The threshold must be repaired within the day, otherwise something will enter the house at night. But this is what they have to do. What I need to do now is to clarify the sacrifice."

Li Mo walked out of the courtyard and observed the situation in Yae Village.

The roadside stalls have returned to their original appearance, and the tables and chairs are no longer neatly arranged.

There were no footsteps, and the temperature in the village rose noticeably.

"It's best not to have too much contact with the villagers during these three days. It's too dangerous at night, but contact during the day is unavoidable."

"If we want to verify our hypothesis, we can only do it in the early morning when everyone is still asleep."

Li Mo looked up at the sky. It was dark and it was still dark.

But away from the nightlife of modern cities, people in the countryside generally go to bed early and get up even earlier. Some people even get up before dawn to start making fire and cooking.

So there is not much time left for myself.

Li Mo quickly jumped to the courtyard where the rooster's crowing sound came from. The layout was relatively simple, but there was still a high threshold and two peach trees planted at the door.

This happened several times.

As for the indigenous people's residence, Li Mo did not dare to step in easily. The last time he did so, he was almost assimilated because he accidentally entered the sheep pen.

The roosters' crowing became louder and louder, apparently resisting some kind of regular awakening.

Li Mo walked towards the shrine.

Since nothing unusual was found in the village, the shrine should be able to provide some clues.
