"It seems I guessed it right."
"Well, for you who's been hiding behind the scenes, the game is over."
Mei removed her glasses and, without hesitation, reached out to grab the hair tie holding her high ponytail. She gave it a gentle tug. The moment the hair tie was undone, her cascading, silky hair flew up into the air, exuding a wild allure. The dark purple strands fell freely and messily over her shoulders and back.
The hair tie was thrown on the ground in front of him, as if giving alms to someone.
Mei raised her head proudly with a look of pity in her eyes.
"He gave it to me. Want it? I'll give it to you."
"Oh, by the way, his name is Li Mo, a clumsy little boy."
As soon as the words fell, the human skin began to grin grimly, deformed, and fell from the tree, turning into a bunch of strange things just like the paper figures, moving towards Mei from all directions.
However, the moment they approached Mei, they fell to the ground, as if they had lost the energy to move, and became silent.
The rules left by the human law have a very high priority and are quite effective against human-skin ghosts whose rules are incomplete.
Facing the sea of human skins, Mei felt not fear but delight.
Because her words worked, the connection was related to Li Mo, or rather, it was related to the relationship between herself and Li Mo.
But now I don't have the extra energy to think about it. No matter which one I choose, it is meaningless. If I can't leave the dream alive, what's the point of knowing all the information?
Knowing the truth is one thing, but being able to keep the truth is another.
The human skin stopped moving forward and crawled on the ground humbly to make way for a woman in gorgeous clothes.
Mei looked at it carefully, looking it up and down, trying to find any pattern from it.
The blood-red wedding dress of ancient China, the intact red embroidered shoes, and the red veil that has not been removed.
It's like a woman getting married, who encountered some accident at the wedding and didn't see her husband, and she exudes a sense of sorrow and sadness everywhere.
Mei's intuition told her that this was the source of the strangeness in her dream.
The moment she approached Mei, the air around her suddenly dropped, and the biting cold adhered to her body surface, almost reducing her body temperature to zero.
The human skin would be suppressed when it was one meter away from Mei, but this ghost was not suppressed, it just moved slower and slower.
Mei looked at her intently, and finally, she saw her true face.
Faceless people.
She stopped less than 20cm away from Mei.
"He looked at you... He didn't look at me..."
"I've been waiting for a long time..."
"As long as he 'can't see' you, he'll notice me."
The woman's voice was filled with resentment.
She slowly stretched out her hand and touched Mei, ignoring the restraint of human law.
At the last second, Mei woke up from the nightmare, turned on her phone and rotated the camera, and found a wound on her forehead that looked like it had been pierced by a sharp knife, with warm, bright red blood flowing out.
"If the bet is right, the rules will collide. When the priorities are similar, both rules will be damaged to a certain extent and become unstable."
"Strange rules can be broken."
"But only if it conflicts with another law."
The first thing Mei did after waking up was not to relax, nor to feel lucky for having escaped death, nor to think about the strange woman in her dream.
Instead, she deduced the strange regular characteristics from the effect to the cause, which was very important to her plan.
On the computer, Mei quickly wrote down the conclusion she had just reached after taking the risk.
I immediately began to think about the content of the dream.
Sophora japonica is known as the ghost tree in China.
Volume 3: Taixu's Rebirth
Chapter 1: Taixu Road to Heaven
She has not yet discovered her own death.
She refused to acknowledge her own death.
Judging by common sense, the immortal is indeed dead.
Her right foot was broken by the trampling...
The tendons and veins in her hands were all broken...
Her internal organs were completely destroyed...
The most serious injury was to the heart, where there were more than ten lacerations. However, the most fatal wound was to the head.
It was a fatal sword wound.
The crystal clear ice beads shimmered with a faint light. Pedestrians hurried past on the street, and the snow on the ground made a rustling sound.
Gradually, the silver-white frost and snow scattered across the world turned crimson, diffusing a blood-red luster.
The sword struck her forehead, destroying her brain, and then passed through.
If it were an ordinary person, any one of these injuries would be enough to kill him.
"Your eyes... finally fell on me..."
"You found me, Mo."
The immortal stretched out her blood-covered hand and gently stroked the cheek of the young man who had pierced her head with the ice-blue Xuanyuan Sword.
The boy's eyes were as cold as the snow falling all over the sky, bitingly cold.
He held the long sword in his hand and stabbed it into the skull with even greater force. The broken bones fell to the ground along with the dripping liquid.
"If anyone becomes a demon, he must be killed." The young man called out softly.
A faint bitter smile appeared on the immortal's broken and haggard face.
"Yes, those who possess the devil must be killed..."
The immortal repeated the young man's words.
"If you become a demon, you must be killed."
"Except you..."
————Eigenworld————
Mei was still thinking, recounting what she had seen and heard in her memory.
"Just now I was dragged into a strange dream and walked into a forest of human skins."
"Human skin is the source? No, if human skin is the source, I don't have the memory of dealing with human skin, so I can't leave."
"I'm not dead, which means there's something else going on, but I can't remember anything more."
"Unforgettable weirdness? Interesting..."
Mei came to a bold conclusion based on her fragmented memory.
Memory is something that can easily deceive oneself. Blindly believing in memory will only make strange means even more terrifying.
Looking only at memories, Mei would never be able to realize the existence of the strange source, because all memories related to it have been erased, leaving only the real memories that do not make people feel out of place.
But it is not inconsistent. For people who often deal with weirdness, it is a kind of incongruity in itself. Being too smooth will make people feel uncomfortable.
The word "槐" in "槐树" can be broken down into "木" and "鬼". There is a saying that the槐树 is the ghost in the wood. It has a heavy yin energy and easily attracts unclean things. There are many holes on the trunk, which is believed to be the residence of lonely souls.
Of course these are all superstitions, and even if they are true it doesn’t matter.
What is important is Li Mo’s human skin and what the ghost he has forgotten is.
What did I do in my dream to make that forgotten ghost let me go?
Or in other words, what have I done to cause a conflict with the other party's rules?
I can’t remember anything…
Mei shook her head, but her consciousness was still very heavy. She was afraid that she would not be able to sleep for a long time after this.
As an ordinary person, if she doesn't sleep, she will die. If she sleeps, she will be dragged into a dream, and she may not wake up every time...
"Go find Mei and make a wish. You don't need to make a wish to solve that weird thing. Just don't sleep. The price shouldn't be too high."
Mei walked out of the bedroom and headed towards Alicia's room.
However, when he reached the corridor, he suddenly stopped and couldn't help but look back at the open door of Li Mo's bedroom.
To be honest, Mei didn't have high hopes for Hua to come back, but she couldn't stop Li Mo from going to rescue him.
She is not a decision maker, at most she is just an assistant who provides reference plans and handles tedious matters.
Clues were discovered in the strange files again and again, and he knew how dangerous the strangeness Li Mo faced was.
Countless cases have told her that even an ability that sounds extremely unsolvable will eventually be restrained and become ineffective.
For example, a restart that had never failed in the early days could directly declare the end of its life if it encountered a time and space lock.
Including making a wish and creating an independent space with Dormitory 303...
Now, there is another unknown person, Pilin, who can kill those who can reboot.
This made Mei even more worried about Li Mo's safety.
"Come back alive."
"Next time I come back, I'll stay at home longer with everyone..."
Mei whispered, revealing a cowardly look for the first time in the silent and deserted home.
But no one saw it, and no one would see it.
————The foot of Taixu Mountain————
June 28th, three days away from the Lantern Festival in July.
In ancient Shenzhou, Chi Yuan often traveled the world, slaying demons and monsters, sometimes turning a blind eye to Shenzhou's turmoil, other times actively participating in it. The people regarded him as the protector of Shenzhou, and for thousands of years, he was recognized as the foremost martial artist in the martial arts world.
Rumor has it that Chi Yuan is a true immortal from heaven, immortal, with eternal beauty and extraordinary abilities.
Under Chi Yuan's guidance, the people of Shenzhou learned how to harness the power of Honkai for their own benefit. They called it "Zhen Qi," and it evolved into various methods.
Mount Taixu is a fairy mountain. If ordinary people insist on climbing it, they will fall into the underworld.
If someone really walked through the road to heaven and reached the immortal on the top of the mountain, he could make a reasonable request to the immortal.
……
……
"Brother, why are you standing here, hesitating? Do you want to come with us to see the immortal?"
the strange man asked.
In a trance, Li Mo woke up from a strange dream. The strange thing was that after waking up this time, Li Mo had no sense of empathy at all, and even his memory became fuzzy.
There is only one sentence that is like a sharp knife engraved in my mind——
"You found me, Mo."
Li Mo: "...seeking to see the Immortal?"
Li Mo passed through the cave and came to a road leading to the sky. With every step he took, the temperature of the thermometer would drop a little.
It seems to indicate that the source of the strangeness is at the top of the mountain.
Taixu Mountain... Immortal...
Li Mo's mind was racing. He should have come to the ancient Shenzhou, when Fu Hua was still the Red Kite Immortal.
Wait, the Red Kite Immortal is Hua, so where is Hua? Is it the Red Kite Immortal?
Could it be that Hua Cheng no longer wants to go home after becoming the Red Kite Immortal?
Li Mo quickly dismissed this idea. For an honest person like Hua, she didn't care about fame, wealth and power, and she wouldn't be obsessed with the position of an immortal admired by the world.
