Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Ghost Strikes the Wall

Why is the fog so unevenly distributed, yet so well defined?

After thinking about it for a moment, Chu Xiao stretched her brows, she seemed to have an idea but there was some hesitation in her expression, and after a while, she quickened her pace and continued to move forward, she thought that if she returned to the rice field this time, then the guess in her heart could be confirmed.

A few seconds later, when the white mist suddenly disappeared, the rice field was still in front of Chu Xiao's eyes.

"Is it really a ghost hitting the wall?"

When helping out in her mother's restaurant, Chu Xiao once heard several middle-aged men chatting together, and one of them said that he once encountered a ghost hitting the wall when he was walking at night.

The man said that he was hoeing in the field of the grave hill at that time, and because it was dark he was about to go home, but he walked in the direction of home for a long time only to find that he was still back in the vegetable field. Because the man was smoking and happened to have a lighter with him, he lit the lighter and circled around him, according to superstition, and then he walked out.

At that time, Chu Xiao thought it was quite strange, but of course she didn't believe in the superstition of ghosts hitting the wall, so after listening to it, she looked up information about ghosts hitting the wall on the Internet. After a check, Chu Xiao found that many people had encountered ghosts hitting the wall, but she saw that this phenomenon could actually be explained by science.

The essence of biological movement is circular motion, and if a person is blindfolded and then walks freely in a wide area, then the trajectory of his walking will approximate a circle. In daily life, the reason why people walk in a straight line is because the human eye is constantly correcting the direction, and the brain is constantly positioning and correcting according to the visual information.

Once the human eye cannot see clearly, the positioning and correction function of the eye and the brain will be weakened or even completely lost. Because of this, ghost hitting the wall often happens at night or in low-light places.

This is because the correction function of the human eye may have problems in some cases, such as overconcentration or due to some psychological factors, the human eye has a perception error of the surrounding reference objects (similar to the situation that the eyes will find that it is not like a word after staring at a word for a long time), and people mainly rely on the reference objects in the environment to identify the direction, so it will also lead to the phenomenon of ghosts hitting the wall.

Whether it is day or night, when encountering such a situation, people should first calm down, try to ensure that their eyes can see clearly, let their attention be distracted before leaving, and it will not be long before people can get out of the place.

Legend has it that the solution to the problem of ghost hitting the wall is to have the victim use the flame of a lighter to spin around him, or to urinate on the spot, but in fact, the main effect of these two methods is to distract people.

After all, she knew something about this situation, so Chu Xiao's first reaction was not to be scared but to feel a little like laughing, and she felt as if she was going to do a science experiment with a conclusion already known.

There is no lighter at the beginning of the day, and she is not willing to urinate on the spot, but since the purpose is to distract herself, there are many things that can be done.

As a young post-90s generation, when he is idle, who wouldn't have tossed his mobile phone twice? Chu Xiao thought that he might as well just play mobile games for a while, and after a few games, wouldn't his attention have long been scattered in the game and couldn't be found?

Chu Xiao then remembered that since the last time I got lost in the forest, I installed a compass software on my phone when I went back. Although I can't find the direction now, but the mobile phone can, no matter what the hell it is hitting the wall, it's a matter of disorientation anyway, as long as you use modern technology, isn't it a matter of one, two, three?

Turning on the phone, Chu Xiao swiped the screen, while silently glad that he had turned off the phone in order to save power.

"South, North...... That's right!"

Chu Xiao looked at the compass and rubbed a cross sign on the ground with the toe of her shoe, the reason why she did this was to check whether the direction indicated by the compass was consistent with the direction in her heart.

Seeing that the direction of the compass was the same as what he thought, and he had walked back in this direction before, Chu Xiao tried the compass in another direction. Although there was no problem with Chu Xiao trying it when he first downloaded the compass, it stands to reason that Chu Xiao should not doubt the compass, but everything is in case, and now it is a special situation, so Chu Xiao still unconsciously doubted the compass.

After trying several directions, Chu Xiao found that her judgment of the direction was still consistent with the compass, and she thought that maybe she was really like what was said on the Internet before - the correction function of the brain and eyes was confused, so although she felt like she was walking in a straight line, she was actually walking in a circle.

After turning 90 degrees counterclockwise in the direction of the compass, Hatsuki set off on the path to his home.

The strange white mist in the sky still did not dissipate, and after Chu Xiao passed through a layer of fog that was thick but actually very thin, the whole person's heart trembled suddenly.

Still returning to the rice field, Chu Xiao gradually felt that all this was not as simple as he imagined.

Even though the existence of the underworld is known theoretically, Chu Xiao still chooses to believe in science when it comes to scientifically explained phenomena such as ghosts hitting walls. At least until everything has changed after trying all the methods, Chu Xiao will not abandon scientific explanations, but the current dilemma seems to be no longer explained by science.

"Huh?"

Mu Mudi walked around the rice field, and when she lowered her eyes, Chu Xiao realized that the cross symbol she had just left on the ground was gone, and she glanced around the ground again in disbelief, but after still not finding the left mark, she froze in place.

Just accepting the reality of returning to the same place again, Chu Xiao was already a little flustered, and this sign of disappearing out of thin air made the fear in Chu Xiao's heart rise all of a sudden, even if she tried to calm down, her heartbeat was still faster than usual.

"Fog ...... I forgot about the fog, it's not normal......"

Chu Xiao finally remembered that even if his situation in place could be explained by science, this strange fog could not be explained. At the same time as feeling helpless, a pair of glowing eyes suspended in the air suddenly appeared in Chu Xiao's mind.

"Didn't you see you that night?" Chu Xiao's heart began to rise with more and more fear.

Although Chu Xiao couldn't figure out what the purpose of You Qi was to stare at him secretly in the night, judging from You Qi's current performance, its personality did seem a little weird, so it should not be surprising that it would do so.

The cat's eyes are very bright, Chu Xiao thought that he saw the eyes of the cat at a glance, so the eyes automatically ignored the things other than the cat's eyes, or it may be that his eyes could not adjust to the darkness for a while, so he felt that the eyes were suspended in the air, and then he shifted his gaze or the dark vision recovered, so he saw the small black shadow burrowing into the bottom of the bed and disappeared. As for why Mo Zhu didn't find You Qi under the bed, it must have been You Qi who used the space conversion to turn away.

Convert ...... It is not allowed to convert ...... within the Maun Soul Threshold."

As soon as she thought of Mo Zhu's words, Chu Xiao's face changed suddenly, and she suddenly felt as if she had made a mistake, it might not really be Youqi, and in an instant, a terrible conjecture couldn't stop popping up in her mind.

Probably because she knew that there was a netherworld, Chu Xiao was almost irrational at this time, and she began to suspect that there was an imperceptible force in the underworld that was changing her direction, and the signs she left behind were also erased by this mysterious force.

"Is it really an evil spirit? Could it be that the floating glowing eyes are really undead things? At that time, there was Mozhu by his side, so he didn't dare to attack himself, and now that he is going home alone, he has begun to block his way?"
