The atmosphere in the auditorium was deserted. Gradually, as night fell, no one spoke anymore.
Only Li Mo stood there, staring blankly at the screensaver on his phone, where the two of them took a photo with their faces pressed together.
The first day when food ran out—
"Here, this is what I hid secretly. Eat it quickly while everyone is asleep."
"Thank you, thank you..."
The next day when the food ran out——
"I can't stand it anymore. I'm going out to find something to eat. If I die, I die!"
"Take me one!"
Seven people went out, and only one returned, but the food was replenished for seven days.
The first day when food ran out again—
"Do you want to go out? You came back alive last time and have experience. Do you want to go again?"
"No! I've already been there. Those who eat the most and don't work should be allowed to go out and find food!"
"I'll go. If this continues, everyone will die. We'll all take turns, and even if we're killed by the ghosts in the end, there's nothing we can do. There's no sound on the radio anymore. I'm afraid there aren't many people left in other cities. We're lucky. At least we've survived for so many days."
The crowd started arguing again, and the young man who had mustered up the courage to ask the question earlier volunteered.
Seeing this, the atmosphere relaxed a lot.
After Zhou Han left the auditorium, everyone in the auditorium cast strange looks at Li Mo.
Because Li Mo had been standing here for nine days and nine nights, staring at the phone that had been turned off for a long time, as if he was dead and motionless.
There was no food intake, no metabolism, and not even a blink of an eye.
⑤Fantasy and the Remaining Humanity
The strange state far exceeded the people present's understanding of living people.
Does it make sense to go without food, water, or sleep for 216 hours straight?
No, ghosts have appeared and common sense has already collapsed.
Everyone could only discuss in low voices: "Is this person going to turn into a ghost? He hasn't eaten, drunk, or slept for nine consecutive days, and only maintains the same posture..."
"Maybe it's the supernatural beings from novels. Supernatural beings usually appear in apocalyptic events like this, but it's best not to get too close... After the collapse of law, no one knows what's hidden in the human heart."
Li Mo didn't react at all. He heard everyone's whispers, but he didn't care.
He didn't even know what to do next.
Like a ghost trapped in a state of silence, all life has ceased.
Kill all the ghosts in the world? Impossible. I would die on the way.
Saving the people here? There's no point. They can't bring any value.
Looking for companions? It's fictional that Mei is a ghost and can't die, while the rest of the family...are already dead.
What...exactly should I do?
No... There's no point in doing anything...
Everyone will die, including me.
The contamination in me is only one step away from becoming weird, and it won't be long before I completely lose my mind.
It might be easier to die, without having to think about what to do next and feeling confused.
Becoming a weird creature and wandering aimlessly according to rules seems like a good thing...
“Hu…Huha!”
Li Mo's ears trembled slightly, and a burst of rapid breathing came from outside the auditorium. It was the man named Zhou Han running wildly.
Li Mo closed his eyes and sensed with the vision of a ghost.
There were several jumping human heads following Zhou Han behind him, no, there were also some in front of him, and they would lock onto him once Zhou Han got close.
Human-headed ghost...why does it appear here?
Isn't there only one human-headed ghost in the Eigenworld?
"Open the door."
Li Mo walked to the door and said to the two people guarding the door.
Hearing this, the gatekeeper quickly asked, "You want to go out too? There are ghosts everywhere outside. What are you going out for?"
"Revenge." Li Mo said calmly.
"Okay... well, let's make a deal first. If there's a ghost behind you when you come back, we won't open the door."
"it is good."
Li Mo agreed decisively.
Can't open the door? Is it important to you?
The moment the door opened, Li Mo's figure disappeared instantly, as if he had disappeared into the void.
"Fuck, is this guy...real? If he has this ability, what the hell is he afraid of?"
"Fuck! I knew he could save us. I should have followed him!"
"Go with him? Didn't you see the corpse spots on his body? Have you ever seen a normal person behave as strangely as him? Besides, even if he is willing to take you, you can't keep up."
On the college playground, Zhou Han was carrying a large backpack filled with snacks and drinks from the canteen.
It doesn’t matter whether it’s expired or not. These are the capital for him and the people in the auditorium to survive, but now they have become a death warrant.
The new human-headed ghost's movement speed was not fast, but it was much faster than Zhou Han who was carrying a weight.
If you leave your food behind, you will starve to death. If you don’t, the ghost will catch up with you.
"These damn things!"
Zhou Han gritted his teeth and rushed towards the auditorium. As long as he entered the auditorium, these ghosts would not be able to hurt him.
But when they were less than a hundred meters away from the auditorium, a deafening earth-shaking sound came from the woods. The human-headed ghosts lurking in the woods came out, as dense as a swarm of locusts, and jumped towards Zhou Han, blocking the way in front of the auditorium.
Zhou Han's pupils dilated, he clenched his fists, looked back and forth, and found that there was no gap for him to leave.
"Am I going to die here? Like those people before me, being eaten by these heads one by one..."
Zhou Han's calves couldn't help but tremble, and the lucky mentality he had before coming out disappeared at this moment.
The seven people who went out to look for food last time also encountered a head. Only the smallest of the seven people escaped back to the auditorium with the food.
At that time, Zhou Han had a vague feeling that ghosts had a priority selection when killing people.
He was also thin and relatively weak compared to the dead people, so he might be able to escape the pursuit of the head.
But now it seems that this is not the case. Even if a person is thin, his head will not be spared.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The sound of heads hitting the ground was getting closer and closer. Zhou Han closed his eyes in despair, bit his lips in pain, and hugged his head with both hands.
The pain of being eaten alive by a human head bite by bite seemed to materialize at this moment.
"Before 7pm, and after 7am, you can come out and look for food."
Suddenly, a voice appeared in his ears. Zhou Han opened his eyes suddenly and found Li Mo standing beside him.
Wait, how did he get through all these heads and come to me?
"Your judgment is correct. Human-headed ghosts do not like to attack skinny people like you, but that doesn't mean they won't attack. It's just that their priority is lower."
Li Mo said coldly, pulled out the Chizome Sakura, and cut off the head of the person who rushed in front.
But ghosts don't feel fear. The human-headed ghost instinctively shifted its target and charged towards Li Mo.
Li Mo's perfect body was too attractive to them, and the weak Zhou Han was directly ignored.
"A familiar... scene." Li Mo said softly.
Once upon a time, he was faced with the same scene, with human-headed ghosts attacking from all directions, and he was powerless to do anything. He could only use the strange coins to delay time and look for a way to break the deadlock in the auditorium.
But the auditorium in this world has no black coffin, no memorial tablet, and no incense.
Yes, there is only an extra strange door.
"Try your best to escape. I won't protect you, let alone save you. Whether you survive or not is entirely up to you."
"how about you?"
"revenge."
Li Mo raised the demon sword, and together with Chi Ranying, he turned into a black and red flash, shuttling among the group of human-headed ghosts.
Like a raging fire, it devoured all the large pieces of human-headed ghosts at lightning speed.
At the same time, Zhou Han didn't stay for long and ran to the auditorium. When he arrived, he pounded on the door frantically: "Open the door! I'm Zhou Han, I brought the food back!"
The person inside saw through the gap that there was no ghost following Zhou Han, so he immediately opened the door and closed it after Zhou Han came in.
"Wait, that person is still outside." Zhou Han put down his schoolbag and said.
"We can't care less. We won't open the door unless there's a ghost following him. Besides... he doesn't look like he needs our help."
Just as he finished speaking, there was a knock on the door.
"Open the door." After seeing the person outside the door through the crack, Zhou Han immediately gave the order.
The door was opened, and Li Mo walked in covered in blood. When everyone's gaze shifted from Li Mo to behind him, his pupils suddenly shrank into wheat spikes. He covered his mouth and looked at the empty ground with only a pile of bloody eyeballs left on it in disbelief.
Zhou Han was even more shocked and didn't know how to start speaking for a moment.
In other words, while he was escaping back to the auditorium, this man killed hundreds of human-headed ghosts and then instantly moved to the entrance of the auditorium?
Aren't ghosts immortal? This information is public knowledge.
Li Mo saw through everyone's thoughts and stated bluntly, "Take good care of that corpse. I will give the gate the ability to block ghosts. If anything tries to open the door, its head will be severed, and it will lose its strange patterns and abilities, becoming a dormant human-headed ghost. The human-headed ghost is the one you just saw. As for how to deal with it, ask the person who just returned alive. I've already told him the patterns of the human-headed ghost."
"But what should we do if we want to go out? Will we die if we open the door?" someone in the crowd asked in confusion.
"Opening the door from the inside won't work." Li Mo replied calmly, "The door I've given it a pattern won't necessarily keep out all ghosts, but most ghosts won't be able to get in, so you'll be safer."
At this time, Zhou Han stood up, patted his chest, and said to Li Mo in the most determined manner: "Thank you for saving me. Even if I die, I will ensure that... 'her' will never be in any harm!"
Li Mo glanced at it and said nothing more.
He had already given regularity to Shigure Kirara's corpse, which was more than enough to deal with these living people.
Li Mo walked to the front door and placed his left hand against the cold material.
A light purple light flickered, spreading from the arm.
"Usurpation, twelve seconds."
Li Mo used "usurpation" again, and this time he "usurped" the old cat's assimilation ability, the strange rule that opening the door would lead to death, and the strange rule of the strange pistol.
However, these three rules were slightly distorted by Li Mo.
The left hand of the strange bud can arbitrarily usurp the things in the memory after dying three times or more. However, it needs to pay a price of equal value to the things it has taken away.
Just ten minutes of "sight in the firelight" on Taixu Mountain was enough to forever gain one of the strange original laws: the vision of a ghost, which left an indelible mark on the soul.
Taking away the ghost's strange abilities requires an extremely heavy price to pay, but... it doesn't matter anymore.
He had no other choice but to take a risk.
"Anyone who opens the door from outside will be beheaded as a warning to others."
"Any creature that is beheaded will become a human-headed ghost, burned in the fire of Hades, and nothing will remain."
Compared with other ghosts, the human-headed ghost is the easiest to deal with in Li Mo's memory. It can only become a threat to ordinary people when they cannot escape.
The first sentence gives the rule that anyone who opens the door will die, no matter if it is a human or a ghost.
The second sentence gives the old cat lady the assimilation law and the suppression effect of the strange pistol.
In just two sentences, the temperature in the auditorium plummeted from room temperature to dozens of degrees below zero, frost formed on the windows, and the white mist coming out of the mouths of living people was clearly visible.
"It's so cold...why is it so cold..."
