Weird collapse, chasing husband crematorium

However, Saori Tsuruyou did not follow the group, but hid behind Li Mo and pulled the corner of his clothes.

"Xiaoyou? Why don't you go in?" Li Mo asked in confusion.

"Brother, brother, didn't you say... that you wanted me to keep an eye on the thermometer and tell you immediately if there is any change..." Saori Tsuru answered weakly.

"Go in now, I don't need it." Li Mo drove Saori Tsuruyou away without hesitation.

Saori Tsuruyou nodded, walked silently into the back of the auditorium, and sat around the black coffin with everyone else.

Shi Yu Qiluo suddenly became playful and teased Li Mo, "You really don't know how to be gentle with women."

Li Mo didn't answer. Are you kidding? A strange frenzy surged. The thermometer would explode if it got this close!

This thermometer is not something you can buy casually. Just like the coin, it is tainted with some unknown strange rules. Li Mo is reluctant to break it.

"coming."

"Boom! Boom!"

This scene will be a lifelong nightmare for everyone present, especially for the mentally immature Valkyries in waiting.

Countless heads bounced around like balls and rushed towards the auditorium.

Every time it fell to the ground, it would leave a bloody mark, or squeeze out the eyeballs or flatten the nose.

His face was completely unrecognizable, as if it had been run through a meat grinder. There was no trace of a human being on his face. His hair was torn and pulled apart, revealing large patches of blood-red scalp. The stench of corpse instantly filled the entire auditorium.

This is how the bodiless human-headed ghost moves, leaving behind broken tongue roots, tooth dust, exploded brain matter, and shattered white skulls in the path it tramples on.

The strong and pungent smell of rotting flesh spread, filling the entire auditorium hall.

"How disgusting." Shigure Qiluo complained unhappily and turned around to look at her teammates.

"vomit!"

"Ugh... ugh!"

More than half of the people in the auditorium saw this scene, held their lower abdomens, their stomachs churning, and they couldn't help but vomit large amounts of stomach fluid.

Shigure Qiluo's face showed obvious discomfort. She gripped the broken sword tightly and couldn't help but say, "This is really disgusting. I'm feeling a bit physically sick. If we wait any longer and they enter the auditorium, we'll all die. Prepare to fight them to the death. I'll lead the charge."

Chapter 7 Agreement

Shi Yu Qiluo turned around to check Li Mo's reaction.

But what Shi Yu Qiluo found strange was that Li Mo had a poker face the entire time. His eyes and facial expressions didn't change at all, and he didn't react at all.

It was as if he was not looking at a bloody and disgusting scene, but a very natural scenery?

For a moment, Shi Yu Qiluo actually felt that Li Mo standing next to her was a corpse, because only a corpse would not respond to external stimuli.

Suddenly, Li Mo spoke.

"Don't worry about it, just go back to the depths of the auditorium, and everything will be fine."

"Huh?" Shigure Kirara was furious. What did they mean by "nothing would happen"? Didn't they see these filthy creatures coming towards them?

"What nonsense are you talking about? Are we just going to watch this group of filthy, disgusting heads enter the auditorium? Forget it, just stand back. Even if I'm alone, I can protect everyone. I'm very strong."

Shigure Kirara poured the Honkai energy in her body onto the broken sword, replacing the damaged part of the blade with the energy and temporarily repairing it.

Li Mo calmly shook his head and said frankly: "They can't get in. If you rush out now, you will die."

"Ghosts cannot be killed. If you really had that ability, you wouldn't be hiding in the auditorium with me."

Shigure Qiluo: “Lie le le…”

"Wait, how can you be sure they won't come in?"

Li Mo: "Based on what you said before, I speculate that you entered Saint Freya this morning or at noon, then went to the room in the teaching building and encountered a few ghosts. After that, you fought and retreated. After retreating to the auditorium, the ghosts stopped attacking you and turned away."

Shigure Kirara: "Yes, but now the crowd is clearly coming for us in the auditorium and won't leave at all. With this amount of people... honestly, I can't hold it all by myself."

Li Mo: "I can tell you responsibly that this academy is completely different after 7pm than it is during the day. Saint Freya at night is a true hell on earth, with evil spirits resurrecting and supernatural beings emerging."

"During this period, the behavior of evil spirits will change. The fact that you hid in the auditorium during the day and were not attacked further means that the auditorium can block the ghost's perception or cut off the connection between humans and ghosts."

"And the fact that ghosts can sense us at night means that the auditorium has changed during this period. There must be some details that we haven't noticed."

“So the key to breaking the deadlock lies in the auditorium, not the heads outside.”

"Even if we summon the entire destiny, forcing a confrontation will only lead to our burial here. If we want to survive, we must first find out what happened in the auditorium."

Shigure Kirara bit her lip, clenched her fists and then suddenly loosened them, retracting the Honkai energy.

Although he was unwilling, Li Mo was right. This kind of enemy that could not be killed or restrained could only be buried even if the entire destiny came.

The key to breaking the deadlock lies in the auditorium, not the group of people outside.

"According to the current distance, they can enter the auditorium in three minutes at most. Are you sure you can handle it?" Shi Yu Qiluo couldn't help but ask.

She desperately hoped that Li Mo could give a positive answer, but unfortunately, the opposite happened.

Li Mo shook his head and denied it: "No, if things really come to that point, I will commit suicide."

"Suicide?" Shi Yu Qiluo was stunned. Did Li Mo's heart look so fragile? It didn't seem like it...

Li Mo ignored Shi Yu Qiluo's doubts, took out a silver coin, and said seriously: "Three minutes is indeed too short. This coin should be able to extend the time to ten minutes."

[A coin with a strange pattern: throw it, and a ghost will definitely pick it up.]

After saying that, Li Mo placed the coin in Shi Yu Qiluo's hand and said, "You are stronger than me, throw it, but don't throw it too far, about a hundred meters behind the first head."

"Huh? Toss a coin?" Shi Yu Qiluo didn't understand, but still did as Li Mo said and threw the coin a hundred meters behind the first head. It was no problem for an A-level Valkyrie.

Li Mo nodded in satisfaction. If he threw it too close, the delay time would not be enough. If he threw it too far, the ghost would not be able to sense it at all.

The coin drew a graceful arc in the air and landed right in the empty eye hole of a human head.

Suddenly, the ground stopped shaking.

"Stop, stopped?" Shi Yu Qiluo looked at the hundreds of stopped heads in disbelief.

But the stagnant situation didn't last long. In the next second, all the heads suddenly jumped up and bit and gnawed at the eyes of that head...

Because the human-headed ghosts have no hands, they can only "pick up" coins by "eating" them.

"You can do this!? Why didn't you use this good thing earlier?"

Shi Yu Qiluo was overjoyed and was about to high-five Li Mo when she discovered that Li Mo, who was not afraid of seeing the human-headed ghosts covering the sky, now showed a distressed expression.

He kept muttering to himself, "My coin... my coin..."

Shi Yu Qiluo twitched the corner of her mouth. It seemed that he only had one. Look at how distressed she looked...

This coin was obtained by Li Mo after risking his life when he was dealing with strange events in a certain world before. It had saved Li Mo several times.

Now that they are thrown into the pile of human-headed ghosts, the human-headed ghosts will no longer target them until the strange pattern on the coins disappears.

When rules collide with each other, the incomplete rules on the coin cannot withstand the surging human-head ghost like a wave. The supernatural power on it will soon be completely transferred, and finally it will become an ordinary coin.

"Let's go. The coins won't hold us back for long. We must restore the auditorium's shielding capabilities immediately."

"I will devote all my energy to finding a way out of this situation. During this period, you must protect me." Li Mo said to Shi Yu Qiluo in an ordering tone.

Shigure Kirara did not act self-righteously, but replied firmly: "Okay, I promise you."

"As long as I'm alive, I won't let those guys get close to you."

Li Mo nodded and said casually, "Thank you."

In the blink of an eye, Li Mo became solemn and serious again.

Shi Yu Qiluo clenched the sword in her hand and secretly vowed to protect Li Mo.

He couldn't save everyone, but maybe he could.

Shi Yu Qiluo thought so in her heart.

"Xiaoyu!"

Li Mo shouted loudly as he entered the auditorium, and Saori Tsuruyu immediately rushed out of the crowd and came to Li Mo.

Saori Tsuruyu responded nervously: "Brother, I'm here."

Li Mo pointed at the black coffin and said, "Use a thermometer now to test the temperature around the coffin, the spirit tablet, and the incense sticks."

"Brother, I..."

"what happened?"

Saori Tsuruyu pursed her lips and mustered up the courage to say, "I took all these measurements when my brother and sister went to the entrance of the auditorium. Only the temperature near the memorial tablet dropped."

Spiritual tablet?

Li Mo was a little surprised. It was not a black coffin. This black coffin, which symbolized ominousness and great evil, was more like some kind of weird source.

But since that was the indication given by the thermometer, Li Mo no longer hesitated and perfunctorily touched Saori Tsuruyu's little head.

Chapter 8: All dead, no one survives

"You did a great job and saved me a lot of time." Li Mo praised.

Saori Tsuruyou smiled with satisfaction and enjoyed Li Mo's touch very much.

Li Mo came to the memorial tablet and looked at it carefully without any human figure.

Saori Tsuruyu stood behind Li Mo, staring at him quietly.

Even though they had just seen a ghost with a human head covering the sky and running towards them in a strange manner, as long as their brother was there, it seemed that all crises could be resolved.

Not only Saori Tsuruyu herself had this feeling, but also the other sixteen students that Li Mo brought out from the broadcasting room.

"The black coffin was open, and the lid was lying on the ground next to it."

"There is no human figure in the memorial tablet, and no body in the coffin."

"Of the five incense sticks, the first one is burning very quickly, more than ten times faster than when I first came in. While the other four are still burning, there's no sign of wear and tear. This means the next one won't start burning until the current one is completely consumed."

"The change between now and then is the appearance of a fierce ghost. This means that the grave incense has some kind of protective and warning effect. It's likely that I should burn one a day."

"But now I can't even stick to one a day. Something must be wrong."

"Five incense sticks... five days... a black coffin without a body... a memorial tablet without a human figure..."

Li Mo's brain was working rapidly, and he said out loud everything he was thinking to facilitate sorting out his thoughts.

"You can't just let me lie down in there by myself, right?" A terrifying thought suddenly popped up in Li Mo's mind.

According to past cases, once a living person lies in a black coffin, he will surely die. Even terrifying evil spirits cannot escape, let alone ordinary people.

"Hey! Those heads are coming!" Shi Yu Qiluo didn't know Li Mo's name, so she could only shout to remind him.

"Captain...are we going to die here?"

"Captain, I don't want to die. Even if I die under the claws of a Honkai beast, or even if I'm eroded and tortured by Honkai, I can accept it... We don't want to die in the mouths of these human heads!"

Everyone started to panic, and heads of people had already crossed "that bottom line..." and entered the auditorium.

"Damn it!" Shi Yu Qiluo took out a big sword and looked at the black, strange, ugly and twisted human heads. She had no confidence.

But she is the captain, she can't retreat.

Is Shigure Kirara afraid of ghosts? Yes, very much. She's even afraid of the dark... When she was little, she'd be so scared she couldn't sleep all night because her parents were out and she was sleeping alone.

She couldn't make that expression.

Everyone can be afraid, can be terrified, can retreat.

But she couldn't, especially in front of the younger generation.

In the blink of an eye, only the last short piece of the first incense stick remained, less than 1 cm.

Li Mo fiddled with the grave incense and seemed to realize something: "The five incense sticks represent the five days of the funeral. Although the funeral process varies from era to era and dynasty to dynasty, the first day is generally the burial."

"Shigure Qiluo, place the lid on the coffin at an angle. Remember, leave a little gap and don't cover it completely!"

Li Mo turned around and shouted.

Upon hearing the instructions, Shigure Kirara rushed to the coffin lid on the ground without saying a word, grabbed it with both hands and prepared to lift it up.

But something unexpected happened, the coffin lid didn't budge at all...

"Aaaaah! Damn it, why can't I move it!" Shigure Kirara even used the power of Honkai energy but still couldn't move it.
