Chapter 15: The Naughty Ghost (15)

After stepping through that door, Ye Shanlan returned to the space, and this task was over.

Here is an explanation of the plot development of this mission.

Mission Name: Naughty Ghost

Mission Description: Survive for three days in Yunsheng Town.

This is a typical paranormal quest, with a limited time to survive, a limited activity space, and surviving for a period of time is considered to be the completion of the mission. In the previous mission, Yechen was greatly injured, not only was he poisoned, he overdrew his mental power many times, and was killed by a special silver bullet at the end. According to the wandering merchant, the silver bullet was so powerful that it could kill Sylvanas, and although she was saved from death by the protection of her soul shards, her subjective consciousness was so weak that she could not complete any tasks at all. After reading the mission description, she must decide who to replace herself, Xiaoshan or Xiaoxiao (Yechen's good instinct and evil instinct consciousness, only these two consciousnesses are strong enough to temporarily replace themselves because of their instinctive support). In the end, Yechen chose Xiaoshan.

This is a supernatural mission, so the "ghost" in the name is likely to be the real thing, dealing with a naughty ghost, not too evil, otherwise the "naughty ghost" is likely to be annoyed and angry, in comparison, gentle and kind is a good choice. This is the reason why Yechen made this choice.

These are the arrangements of Eve Chen before the mission begins, and after the mission begins, her main consciousness falls into a deep sleep (i.e., Chen), and Hayama Lan (Xiaoshan) enters the mission space as her replacement.

At the beginning of the mission, Ye Shanlan had an "illusion" in his mind, a female corpse on the street lamp, a head on a tree next to the road, etc., but in fact, this is not an illusion, but an actuality, and the ordinary scene on Yulin Street is an illusion. In the later text, when Xu Bing walked out with Ye Shanlan, who was already a zombie, what he saw was the real reality (because at that time, Xu Bing no longer used illusions to cover up.) )。

This discovery is very interesting, obviously, Ye Shanlan's vision was blinded by the illusion, but her spiritual power was actually able to penetrate this illusion, which seems to show that the ghost in this mission, the strength of the "naughty ghost" is not strong, at least in the field of spiritual application, and the illusion constructed is very rough. This is a very subtle hint that points out the first way through this mission, and it can also be seen from the following text that Xu Bing is a person who is easily dominated by emotions (or ghosts?). Ye Shanlan can completely counter-affect her, but unfortunately, she doesn't have this consciousness, nor does she have this ability, and in terms of playing with people's hearts, she and Yechen are not at all on the same order of magnitude.

While Ye Shanlan was waiting in front of the door, she saw another "vision", in that room, a girl was killed, which was an important clue that determined whether she would survive the first night. There is another small detail here, Xu Bing guessed long after Ye Shanlan knocked on the door, what was she doing during this time?

After meeting Xu Bing, Ye Shanlan introduced herself as "Xiaoshan", and it has been clearly pointed out here that it is not Yechen who has experienced this task, but a part of her, and her kind instinctive consciousness (this is reflected in the task of "two-person game" above). )。

Ye Shanlan borrowed a hair dryer from Xu Bing, "She took the hair dryer with one hand, and almost didn't fall to the ground, this is a very old-fashioned kind, iron, very heavy." It's so inconvenient to use, no wonder there are so many new old and new fall marks. It was very heavy, and there were "fall marks", combined with the previous sentence, "The girl's fatal injury was on the right side of the back of the head, a violent blunt blow ......" continues to emphasize the fact that Xu Bing killed the girl.

Next, I wrote about the movie disc, and Ye Shanlan was looking through the description of the disc, which corresponded to the previous article. After Xu Bing came back, they watched a movie together, and halfway through it, Ye Shanlan said that she was not very suitable for this kind of theme, so she got up and left, of course, this was just an excuse for her, as a trialist in the seventh space, she had never met anything, and this kind of plot was not a heavy taste at all. The real reason is that Ye Shanlan found that the girl in the film was a little special, and there was such a description of the girl who died next to the sofa in the previous article: "A girl is lying on the ground, her body has stiffened, she was violently beaten and abused before she died, her bare skin is full of scars, layer after layer, new injuries are superimposed on old wounds, and there are several burns from cigarette butts in the process." "The experience of the protagonist in the film has a striking coincidence. The poor girl's appearance before and after suffering changed so much that Ye Shanlan didn't recognize it at first, and only realized that the girl in the film was the blunt girl she saw when she was waiting outside the door.

When Ye Shanlan realized this, she left immediately, because she knew the next plot, the girl met Xu Bing, and then was killed, once she saw Xu Bing appear in this movie, it meant that this prank of the naughty ghost came to an end, and she would be killed by Xu Bing immediately. This is the weirdest and most feared death flag in the paranormal mission, which will kill you after triggering a certain plot (even if this plot is extremely inconspicuous), no matter how powerful the force is, it can't be stopped, you can't hide, you can't escape.

The first death flag, Ye Shan Lan, dodged it, but then, she made an important mistake, which directly caused her to fail this mission, and she escaped by relying on the last chance.

Hayama Lan had a "nightmare" that night, but was it really a dream? Having a nightmare seemed normal on a supernatural mission, and she had no doubts about it. When she woke up the next morning, Ye Shanlan saw that the curtain was opened, thinking that it was just a description of a terrifying atmosphere, she didn't think about it at all, is there any possibility: the curtain was opened by herself? In other words, that "nightmare" was not a dream, but real, and her nightmarish encounter that morning was a real experience. There are two hints about this important information later in the article, first, Ye Shanlan has never had a nightmare since then (the "nightmare" she had on the sofa was actually a real experience, plus some divergent imagination. This shows that Xu Bing does not have the ability to invade her spiritual world, and in addition, on the last night, the night of Linlin's arrival, several details appeared. "Xu Bing doesn't like to eat eggs", "Linlin took out an egg from the refrigerator to play with when Xu Bing was cooking", "Ye Shanlan made a scrambled egg when he first started eating", these three details are to illustrate: Ye Shanlan has no concept of how many eggs are in the kitchen refrigerator. Back to the second day of Hayama Lan (that is, that "nightmare"), she fried four eggs that morning, and there would be four eggs less in the refrigerator, if Hayama Lan could notice this detail, she would think that the "nightmare" was not actually a dream, but a real thing. Unfortunately, she didn't realize it at the last minute.

Hayama Lan made an extremely serious mistake, this is a time-limited survival mission, and a miscalculation of time can bring fatal danger.

In the seventh chapter, that is, on the third day of Ye Shanlan's arrival, she saw an old man pulling an erhu under an ancient acacia tree, and there was a passage in classical Chinese. The main meaning is that this county is called Yunsheng County, and the location environment is not good, but the people here are very good at being carpenters, among which there are three brothers of the Xu family - Xu Fanghuai, Xu Fangliu, and Xu Fangbai - are very good at making coffins. King Yinshan got a good piece of Nanmu and wanted to use it to prepare a coffin for himself, but no one could cut this Nanmu open. Later, King Yinshan found the three brothers of the Xu family, and sacrificed Xu Fanghuai and Xu Fangliu with the painstaking efforts of Xu Fangbai, so that Xu Fangbai cut the wood and made a coffin, and finally Xu Fangbai also died of exhaustion.

After the old man finished playing a song, he said, "You don't belong here, leave quickly." ”

And Ye Shanlan responded with a very inappropriate sentence: "Why should I leave, I just came here, and I plan to settle down for a while." ”

The background of this conversation is that Ye Shanlan already knows that Xu Bing is a naughty "ghost", but this cannot be let Xu Bing know, once Xu Bing knows, it is likely to trigger the first death flag, and Xu Bing is following her at this time.

The reason why this is not appropriate is that you can frame that scene, when the old man says "get out of here", most people will only think that the old man is just entertaining himself or some other reason, and he doesn't want anyone to be next to him. But Ye Shanlan pointed out directly, and the old man did not mean "here" under the locust tree, but this ancient town. She had obviously realized that this old man was not simple, and when he said that he was leaving here, he must be leaving this haunted ancient town. This inappropriate conversation once again showed that Ye Shanlan's mind was not meticulous, and she made mistakes in many places, but fortunately, Xu Bing was not a smart ghost, she didn't think about it at all, and the sentence that Ye Shanlan answered was not reasonable.

On the morning of the fourth day, Ye Shanlan followed Xu Bing to see her father, Xu Fanghuai (Xu Fanghuai?). )。 She came at noon on the first day, and she could return to the space after noon on the fourth day, but Hayama Lan thought that this was only the third day because of her previous miscalculation of time.

After twelve o'clock in the afternoon, the stipulated survival time had been completed, the difficulty of the task increased dramatically, and the little girl Linlin appeared.

Linlin is a poor little girl, if Ye Shanlan wants to take her in, it will bring her more harm, because Xu Bing next to her is a cruel ghost, but if she is not taken in, the little girl will continue to wander, day by day, until one day, because of hunger and cold, she will die on the side of the road. This is a dilemma, but it should be noted that this dilemma is based on compassion and kindness, that is, it is only valid for Hayama Lan, who exists based on the instinct of kindness, and if it is Yechen, this does not constitute any effect at all. This is a manifestation of the refinement of the tasks of the seventh space, and the space will tailor the tasks to each trialist.

In the end, Ye Shan Lan still chose to take in Linlin, which led to Lin Lin's death and the failure of Ye Shan Lan's mission.

When she got home, Ye Shanlan took a nap on the sofa for a while, and when she woke up, she heard Xu Bing chopping something, and then asked, Xu Bing's answer was: "Wait a while, the ribs will be ready soon." "She's still working on the ingredients, so why is it right away? Xu Bing didn't lie, the ribs were indeed ready immediately, she wasn't dealing with the ribs, she was dismembering Linlin. After dismembering Linlin, Xu Bing also steamed her, paying attention to the description in the original text "Linlin's little face was flushed, as if she had been steamed in the sauna".

On the morning of the fifth day, Ye Shanlan was killed by Linlin, after wandering for so long, Linlin suffered a lot in the world, it was Ye Shanlan and Xu Bing who gave her hope, and they gave her despair.

At this time, Hayama Lan's mission had failed, but fortunately, she had soul fragments, which was not a powerful skill, but it was the most useful for the supernatural quest, as it could give her more forgiveness.

Although Ye Shanlan barely saved her life, she was controlled by Xu Bing, and she could only escape if she got out of control, otherwise she would have no chance. A little girl Linlin appeared at noon on the fourth day, and at noon on the fifth day, Ye Shanlan will see Xu Fanghuai, a more powerful ghost, once he enters that manor, Ye Shanlan will never be able to return to the space.

At the last moment, Hayama Lan saw a strangely dressed man, she had seen this kind of clothing before, and in the "return" mission, she was rescued by someone wearing this kind of clothing, so she guessed that this clothing might represent some kind of medical aid team or something. Strictly speaking, they are also ghosts, and they are powerful, with their help, Ye Shanlan will have a chance to break out of Xu Bing's control. Ye Shanlan no longer had time to weigh and wait, she had only one choice, to grasp this life-saving straw.

When Ye Shanlan went to ask for help, she was refused, at this time she was completely panicked, and she didn't know what to do, but fortunately, with the help of Xiao Xie, although there was only a moment of contact, Xiao Xie still remembered the characters on the badge of the person who saved her. With this kind of anti-heaven memory and insight, Ye Shanlan finally got rid of Xu Bing and returned to space.
