The Resentment of the Wutong River (3)

"Ghosts, they must be ghosts!" As soon as Lin Mad returned to the Enlightened Society, he sat down on the sofa, patted his thigh lightly and said, "His eyes, and the means of confusing people, I can conclude that he is a ghost." But why can't I find his soul in the spirit world?"

"If it's just because of the ghost, I can't be mistaken about her life trajectory. Qin Kai said suspiciously.

"I did see that something was pulling Qin Kai. Xia Xiaoai also muttered, "Is the president old and confused, so he didn't see him in the spirit world." ”

"Nonsense!" Lin Mad analyzed, "Judging from the situation you described, he is definitely a resentful ghost, but it may be for some reason, I can't find him in the spirit world. However, Xiao Ai can see that he is also composed of blocks, which just shows that he is also simulated and exists. But his appearance affected Zhu Shasha's life, which is very suspicious and debatable. ”

"Xiao Ai, can you make the unrendered picture in front of you stay longer?" Qin Kai asked.

"Ever since I was a child, I could only watch this kind of picture for a few tenths of a second, and at first it was like a TV screen suddenly flashing, and then as I got older, the time to see it was extended to about one second at most. ”

"Does it only extend with age?"

"Not quite, one time when I had a high fever, I was in a daze and I could see that kind of image for almost 10 seconds, but that was just that time. ”

"I see. I see!"

"Qin Kai, what did you think of" Lin Madness asked jokingly, "Shouldn't you let Xiao Ai get a high fever and then let him communicate with that thing?"

"You're only half right, President, but I'm not trying to get her to a high fever. I think that the ability may grow with age, but it is definitely not as Xiao Ai said, the limit is only about 1 second. Xiao Ai has a fever and can see for 10 seconds, which should not be her limit. And the reason why she was able to see for so long at that time was because the fever affected her reflexes!"

"Go on. Lin Mad gave Qin Kai an appreciative look and said with interest.

"This is my personal guess, since the world is simulated, then I will use the computer to compare, if Xiao Ai's brain is a processor, as long as the processor slows down, the rendering time will inevitably slow down, so the time to see that picture can be extended. ”

"So when I had a fever, it was because my brain was sluggish that I saw that picture prolonged for so long?" Xia Xiaoai suddenly realized.

"Yes. Qin Kai nodded

"Then what can I do to extend the time for so long again?To catch a cold, to get a fever?" Xia Xiaoai asked.

"Drinking. Qin Kai said, "As long as you are drunk, you can definitely do it." ”

"yes, it's a good idea, but I haven't drunk it since I was a kid, so I don't know how much alcohol it has. Xia Xiaoai nodded in approval, but was worried that she would overdrink.

"You just have to drink until you get dizzy, drink slowly, so that you can estimate whether the amount of alcohol you are ingesting is at the limit of what your body can bear. ”

"It can still be done. ”

"Then I'm going to trouble you, communicate with him closely, and I'll be there to protect you when the time comes. Qin Kai said with a serious face.

"But I'm still afraid when I'm drunk, if he pulls me away, and I don't see anyone alive or dead, and even if I am pulled back, I'll become light, what will I do then?" Woo woo ~ I don't want it!"

Seeing this, Qin Kai spread his hands, stood up, and said, "Since this is the case, there is no need for this association to exist, right, President Lin? ”

Lin Mad's expression was very embarrassed, he pondered for a long time, silently took out the cigarette case and lighter from his pocket, his thumb gently rubbed the roller of the lighter, and as a wisp of white smoke rose, the cigarette that bit his mouth was ignited.

He squinted, took a sharp breath, spat out clouds of hazy smoke rings, and said, "Xiao Ai, don't forget the original intention of joining the society in the first place, we can only fight against the observers and purifiers by growing our team. ”

Xiao Ai sat on the sofa with tears in her eyes and remained silent.

Seeing her like this, Qin Kai squatted down and said, "Believe me, as long as the president can be sure that that thing is a ghost, I will guarantee that you will be absolutely fine." ”

Xia Xiaoai clenched her fists, her hands didn't know where to put them, she didn't know when to start, and cold sweat was oozing from her palms.

"Trust me. Qin Kai said sincerely, and patted her shoulder with his hand.

Seeing that Qin Kai was so sure, Xia Xiaoai nodded aggrievedly and said, "Then if I am really caught, you must rescue me, just light it up, it's actually quite good." ”

"Don't worry, no, if you calm down, we won't bother you. After speaking, Qin Kai motioned for Lin Madness to go out together.

"If there's anything you want to ask, say it. Seeing that Qin Kai seemed to be brewing something, Lin Madness said straight to the point.

"President, I want to find out, what are the ghosts harming people for?" Qin Kai asked.

"Resentful ghosts, in fact, are people who die with resentment, and generally they hold back their last breath of resentment and end up with hatred, which causes them to constantly wander between the human world and the spiritual world. And the purpose of their wandering is not to harm people, but to let people understand them, resolve grievances, and spit out that grievance. "Lin Mad has seen countless ghosts, so he naturally speaks the truth.

"Then I'll rest assured, and then it's up to Xiao Ai. ”

"Thank you. Lin Madness suddenly said.

"Thank you, President, we are members of the same association, so don't see each other like this in the future. Since existence is reasonable, even in this virtual world, with our existence, there must be our destiny. It's all fate. Saying that, Qin Kai stretched out his hand.

"Okay!" Lin Mad also stretched out his hand, shook Qin Kai's hand heavily, and said, "Let's come on together!"

……

Night falls, and the enchanting night sky enchants you.

The night sky, this combination of darkness and stillness, is the end of the day, it comes quietly and leaves silently. It's like a magician who turns a glorious world into a dead indifference. Only the silence moves around it, and only the darkness ripples around it.

On the Wutong River arch bridge, where silence and darkness are intertwined, the backs of the three people are particularly abrupt under the street lamp. The girl standing in the middle of them, although she was supported by the other two, continued to pour liquor into her mouth.

"That's pretty much it, don't get drunk and get into a puddle of mud when the time comes, and you will make a mistake!" Qin Kai took the wine bottle in Xia Xiaoai's hand and said.

"Hiccup~" Xia Xiaoai hiccuped and said inarticulately, "No, no, I just ...... I tried it just now, and I can only see 8 seconds, and there are still 2 seconds left! No! 2 seconds can decide my life and death, no!"

"You just have to do what I say, you know, good!" Qin Kai seemed to be coaxing a child.

Seeing this, Lin Crazy smiled knowingly.

"I ...... I know, I'm ...... right now Don't believe me, you test me!"

It's almost 12 o'clock, let's go to the river together, the water is a little cold, you get ready. ”

"Let the old lady go!" Xia Xiaoai pointed forward and roared.

"Yes, yes. Qin Kai said kindly.

As soon as the words fell, Qin Kai and Lin Mad helped Xia Xiaoai to the riverside, waiting for the arrival of twelve o'clock together.

Time passed minute by minute, and the three of them did not speak, staring at the water for fear of missing something. After Xia Xiaoai finished the last bit of liquor in the wine bottle, he threw the empty wine bottle into the river heavily.

I don't know if it's time to come, or if the wine bottle angered the one in the river, the water surface began to bubble like last time, and when the bubbles began to roll, Xia Xiaoai's body sank down heavily, and the whole person seemed to be tied to a lead block, and he was rickety.

Immediately after, her gaze began to become hollow, her mouth opened slightly, and the person involuntarily walked forward.

At first, Qin Kai and Lin Mad could still hold her, but as Xia Xiaoai continued to be in this state for longer, the more power they felt, and their hands began to slowly and unconsciously loosen.

It wasn't until the two of them couldn't hold her at all that they found that Xia Xiaoai's front half of her body had been pulled into the air by that force, and all they were holding was her feet.

"President, if it goes on like this, her legs will keep and her neck will be broken, hurry up!"

"Good!"

Lin Mad and Qin Kai glanced at each other, and at the same time took out a needle from their pockets and pierced Xia Xiaoai's toes hard.

"Ahh

"Hurry, Xiao Ai! we can't hold it anymore. ”

"Ah, yes!"

Xia Xiaoai reacted immediately, turned around, and then shook it hard and looked ahead.

"I saw you, don't grab my neck with your hands, I can see you, I can see you!!" Xia Xiaoai shouted, and stared at the man's eyes for four or five seconds, until the picture disappeared, and kept watching.

Suddenly, the man seemed to stop pulling and let go of his hand.

Xia Xiaoai also let go of his hand because of the man, and the upper body that was originally in the air plunged into the water with a "poof".

When she came out of the water, she choked a few times, and at this time she didn't care about choking on water, so she shook her head again to look at the man, but the man deliberately changed positions, as if to test her.

She turned to the man and said, "Don't move, I really see you." Do you have a reason for doing this?"

The man nodded, as if confirming that Xia Xiaoai could indeed see him.

"Can you get out of the water?" Qin Kai shouted at the water that Xia Xiaoai looked at.

He shook his head. Xia Xiaoai said.

"If it's a water ghost, you really can't leave the water. Lin Madness added.

"In that case, you tell him not to hurt people for the time being, and tomorrow we will get tools to communicate with him. You let him show up when he sees us tomorrow. Do you want to ask if this will work?".

"He nodded, he nodded!" Xia Xiaoai wiped the water from her face and shouted happily.

"See you tomorrow. Qin Kai waved his hand at the water, and the three of them left in embarrassment.
