Gao Ying's footsteps lingered at the door, and now, he had to decide whether to go in, or just continue to stand at the door and observe.

(There must be a way to get the answer in relative safety, or at least a time for the test taker to have a way to fill in the answer, but the problem is that this is a multiple-choice question, and filling in less or more than one answer is not the correct answer.) ）

You know, ordinary multiple-choice questions can be eliminated, but there are so many permutations and combinations of multiple-choice questions that the probability of a candidate trying all the combinations before the ghost kills him or her is almost negligible. He has seen it with his own eyes, and frankly, there are not many opportunities to choose. If you choose to do this question, you are experiencing life and death.

Gao Ying began to analyze the four options......

Man...... Barefoot or shoeed...... Facing the gate when hanging...... Is it still in the house......

From the perspective of the door of the room, there is hardly any furniture to be seen, and if you enter the house and see clothes and shoes, then you may be able to make a preliminary judgment, of course, if the house is inhabited by husband and wife, father and daughter, mother and child, etc., and there are clothes on both sides, then it is difficult to draw conclusions. Although hanging is a common form of suicide for women, it is not uncommon for men to commit suicide using this method.

As for going barefoot or wearing shoes, in indoor situations, going barefoot can make the sound a little softer. However, since the deceased has decided to give up his or her life, why should he or she care whether to wear shoes or not? If you enter the room, you can also look at the chair to see if there are shoe prints to judge, although the chair is very close to the door, but only standing at the door, with the current moonlight is absolutely not visible.

When hanging, are you facing the door...... There's really no clue to that. Who knows if it's facing the gate or is it facing away from the gate? The last problem, obviously, is almost impossible to know without going indoors, unless the ghost will appear at the door for them to see for themselves. But Gao Ying didn't think that a multiple-choice question would be so easy.

At this moment, Gao Ying suddenly noticed the chair that fell at the door, and thought of a very important thing!

That's it...... Sound......

If we talk about suicide, it is clear that the purpose of the villagers who committed suicide is ...... It is because he does not want to die at the hands of demons, but wants himself to end his life. However, the process of hanging is not instantaneous, and after the chair falls, it is bound to make a loud noise. If the villagers don't mind if they die at the hands of the ghost, they can let the ghost kill themselves by yelling. So...... The choice of hanging as a means of suicide is obviously unreasonable.

However, on the topic, it is written very clearly, the villagers who "hanged themselves". So, it shouldn't be a ghost who killed the villagers and then disguised himself as a suicide. So, if it is really suicide, why take such a tactic that is obviously loud?

This is indeed unreasonable, but it does not seem to have any direct relevance to the four options under the question. Even if you come up with an answer to this question, there is no way to match any of the options. But Gao Ying realized that there might be a connection between them.

(etc...... Wait a minute...... ）

At this time, Gao Ying discovered something.

That is, the chair that fell to the ground, the distance from the door......

(Yes!) Although the chair is now falling to the ground, if the villager who hanged himself at the time was facing the gate, and then kicked the chair towards the gate, and the back of the chair was just leaning against the gate, as long as the force was controlled...... It won't make a sound. And when we first walked through this room, the door was closed! Yes, when the villagers hanged themselves, they were facing the gate! So, C can't be chosen! And he paid attention to the chair, more and more sure of his judgment, now this chair, obviously because the chair fell to the ground in the process of opening the door, the current position of the chair and the direction of the back of the chair are completely consistent with his calculation!

(One option has been ruled out...... ）

In fact, Gao Ying is not without ideas about gender. Judging from the height of the chairs and beams, the height of the villagers who committed suicide should not be very high, so it is possible that the female ones are not low. However, if the other party is a short man like Hou Mingbo, or a minor, then the judging value of height is quite low. However, at present, the villagers may be much higher barefoot when they hang themselves, and if they kick the back of the chair with their shoes on, the sound may be higher. However, there is no conclusive evidence for these points. Especially the last point...... It's even more of a headache.

(Hell, if it would be nice if it was a multiple-choice question, then I could answer it now.) However, this is a multiple-choice question...... ）

However, after all, an option has been ruled out, which makes Gao Ying also feel a little more excited. He then proceeded to observe the limited observation from the doorway. Seeing that his face was uncertain, Ji Yixuan, Hou Mingbo, and Shen Junhao did not speak, making Gao Ying think slowly. At the same time, Ji Yixuan asked Hou Mingbo and Shen Junhao to pay attention to the positions behind them and in all directions.

He had looked through his fingers, and all of them, and he didn't see any ghosts. But was he really able to extrapolate all the options within the limited viewing angle of the doorway?

But at this time, unlike Gao Ying, Ji Yixuan's perspective kept staring at the rope loop. He didn't think of inferring so many results from the position of the chair as Gao Ying did, and he always felt that there seemed to be something wrong with that rope loop. And this made Ji Yixuan feel somewhat wrong.

(Strange...... This rope loop, it seems...... However, looking at Gao Ying's expression just now, he seemed to have thought of something. ）

Although Ji Yixuan and Gao Ying have known each other for a short time, he has a strange tacit understanding with Gao Ying. Gao Ying must have thought of something, but unfortunately, because they can't cheat, this also causes them to be unable to communicate about this issue.

At the same time, he wanted to talk about what Yuan Ping and his second uncle wrote on that note. At that time, Yuan Ping once wrote that he heard some strange sounds. In this village, it is impossible for humans to deliberately make a sound, and then, Yuan Ping wrote to his second uncle on paper...... The voice is not outside......

(The ghost that appeared this time can at least certainly be hidden from the naked eye's line of sight, that's certain.) Ghosts can appear in a person's line of sight or choose not to appear...... Is that so? ）

Recalling the footprints made of blood in that hut, Ji Yixuan shuddered now. Ghost, once so close to him! However, even though he knew this, he still didn't think twice about saving Gao Ying. What he did at that time was because Gao Ying's intelligence might be able to help him, or because of ...... He thinks that saving a person's life can make his bleak life shine? However, what is certain is that even if he turns back time, even if he knows that doing so may lead to the killing of ghosts, he will still save Gao Ying.

If you are human, you will be afraid of death. However, for Ji Yixuan, death is not something he fears in the world. Being hated, cursed, and directly denied the meaning of one's life is far more terrifying than death. The darkness of human nature is far more terrifying than ghosts.

"Gao Ying......" Ji Yixuan pulled Gao Ying's sleeve, lowered his voice and said, "I think something is wrong......

"Something is wrong? Where...... Wrong? ”

"Look...... That rope loop, isn't it ......?"

At this moment, the hanging rope loop suddenly threw itself into the air towards Gao Ying!

Ji Yixuan, who had been on guard for a long time, suddenly grabbed Gao Ying's hand and let him avoid this rope ring that flew suddenly!

Then, the rope loop directly covered Hou Mingbo's neck behind him! Subsequently, Hou Mingbo, who was short in stature, was pulled indoors!

"Ahh

In the face of death threats, Hou Mingbo naturally couldn't care about the rules of silence anymore, and his throat kept making sounds of unknown meaning, struggling desperately!
