CH.14 Faith in the Immortals (14)
At this time, the short-haired boy suddenly picked up the cigarette case that Li Tao had put on the table, took out one, and put it to his mouth.
"Do you smoke too?" Li Tao smiled and was about to hand him the lighter.
The boy also smiled at Li Tao, and did not reach out to catch the lighter, but made an expression when smoking. At this moment, Li Tao suddenly saw that the cigarette on the man's mouth had been lit.
"Magic?" Li Tao suddenly became vigilant.
The short-haired boy's expression suddenly changed, and he slowly sat opposite Li Tao.
"Li Tao, you are really smart." The boy said. "I didn't expect that with just such a little clue, you would be able to see the truth. It seems that it was a mistake of mine to show you this notebook. ”
Li Tao stared at him and didn't say anything. Since he met Ning Xiu, Li Tao felt that someone in the school seemed to be eyeing them, although he couldn't feel the spiritual power on this person, but some parts of the short-haired man seemed to be the same as Ning Xiu.
"What a horrible look." The short-haired boy laughed, "Let me introduce myself first, my name is Murong Huan, I just transferred from another school, first grade, major is chemistry, what I am best at...... It's an exorcism. ”
"Another exorcist?" Li Tao said in his heart.
"You're right." Murong Huan said in a low voice.
Li Tao was shocked in his heart and thought secretly: "Can this person guess what I'm thinking?" ”
Murong Huan put the index finger of his right hand in front of him and shook it twice, "It's not a guess, this is my ability, in your words, it is the appearance of spiritual power." ”
Li Tao still didn't speak, just quietly observing this person. However, no matter how he enhanced his spiritual power, he still couldn't see the surging spiritual power in Murong Huan's body.
"It seems that with such pure spiritual power, you don't seem to know a lot about spiritual power." Murong Huan smiled, "It's okay, I'll explain it to you." The so-called spiritual power is the power of the soul, and any living person, any soul, has a certain amount of spiritual power.
Spiritual power is the basis for manipulating all senses, when spiritual power is relatively low, its appearance is vision, smell, hearing, touch and other sensory functions, and if the spiritual power is strong to a certain extent, the ability will also appear, such as like you, the change in visual effect, the change in Ling Xuezhi's soul fusion power, the change in Sima Guangxing's understanding, Deng Yuhao...... Hmph, of course, that person has now been left out.
In short, spiritual power can be used in all aspects of a person, as for where it will be, it depends on that person's talent. ”
As he spoke, Murong Huan put his hand on the position of his heart and laughed in a low voice: "In this sense, everyone is an extraordinary genius. ”
Li Tao said with a smile: "After talking for a long time, you shouldn't just want to turn around and praise yourself." ”
"Hmph, unsentimental fellow." Murong Huan said: "Since that's the case, then I'll get straight to the point, Li Tao, we appreciate your talent very much, although Ning Xiu doesn't like you very much, but as long as you join us and become an exorcist, I guarantee that your abilities will be brought into full play, and in addition, we can also make you ......"
"I refuse."
Li Tao's thoughtless answer made Murong Huan stunned. Then, he stared at Li Tao and said, "Pay attention to your tone, I'm not here to ask for you, this is an order." ”
Li Tao smiled, "I thought that the most arrogant person in this school was Deng Yuhao, but I didn't expect that there would be a ...... like you." Goods. ”
"Goods?" The smile on Murong Huan's face disappeared completely, he seemed to be suppressing the anger in his heart, and it took a long time before he spoke again: "It seems that my hard work has been in vain. ”
Li Tao didn't take his words seriously at all, although this person's strength may be something he had never seen before, Li Tao would definitely not show any weakness in front of him.
"Unlike you stragglers, our noble exorcists have strict rules. In my opinion, the four of you don't deserve any big moves at all, so I'm just going to challenge you personally, if you win, then tonight will be calm, and if you lose, then ...... I will kill that person named Deng Yuhao with my own hands. ”
"I'm not going to bet with you." Li Tao categorically refused, it was impossible for him to gamble with someone else's life, let alone Deng Yuhao.
"You don't have a choice." Murong Huan said.
"Then let's do it."
"I said, you don't deserve me to do it." Murong Huan seemed to have incomparable confidence in his own strength, and Li Tao also saw that this person's self-esteem was almost to the point of perversion. He took a deep breath, "Li Tao, tell the truth about the immortals, if you are right, even if you win, of course, you can choose to be silent, but in that case, Deng Yuhao will be the end of your hand." ”
"Damn." Li Tao couldn't accept anyone threatening Deng Yuhao, Sima, and Ling Xuezhi, and suddenly he decided to forcibly drive this person away.
Suddenly, Li Tao felt that his body was enveloped by a strong air pressure, and no matter how hard he tried, his body could not move a bit.
"You ......"
"Answer me, what is the truth you see?" Murong Huan stared at Li Tao coldly.
Li Tao suddenly felt that his spiritual power was no longer on the same level as this person, and he suddenly understood that if Murong Huan wanted to attack Deng Yuhao, with Deng Yuhao's current situation, it was completely impossible to fight back.
After being silent for a long time, Li Tao finally said: "The truth, the truth is ...... Hallucination. ”
Hearing the word "hallucination", the corners of Murong Huan's mouth immediately curled. "Pretty answer, go ahead."
Under that strong pressure, Li Tao continued: "Eight years ago...... Eight years ago, there were no large-scale deaths at Nansong Vocational High School, and that year, the only person who died was an autistic person who committed suicide by cutting his wrists in the pool late at night. In the spring of that year, in order to help that classmate, the student union held a 'letter fairy' activity, and organized 536 people to write letters to the autistic person, of course, to get him out of the shadow of autism, but later, ...... Those who participated in the event began to lose their original interest, and in the summer of that year, the autistic classmate left a suicide note and committed suicide. ”
"That's right." Murong Huan said, "Hmph, that's all because he frantically replied to those five hundred and thirty-six people, stuffing all his boring thoughts on others, and those people would of course get bored, and finally give up communicating with him again." Because it's just stupid to commit suicide like that. But Li Tao, these are all things recorded in the notebook, so how do you explain what happened in the past few days? ”
Li Tao continued: "I don't know what caused the resurrection of that person's resentful spirit, but this time, what happened in the school was not a death incident at all, but a ...... Collective hallucinations. ”
"Whew." Murong cheered and took a puff of cigarette.
"If a resentful spirit can kill people without a trace in broad daylight when the yang energy is at its peak, then such a resentful spirit definitely has the ability to kill everyone in the school at the same time, but it does not do so. Why? Is it because it's benevolent? No, that's because there is no such thing as a resentful spirit, and only God can do it. Li Tao couldn't help but be a little excited, "That resentful spirit, he didn't kill anyone, he just used some method to make most of the people in the school hallucinate like that...... There was a female classmate named Ma Jumping, and she said something that I really cared about, she said, 'It's as if the names of the three of them popped up out of nowhere.'" I couldn't figure out what I thought about before, but now I know that it's because Ma Jumpy didn't know those three people at all, and her memories were forcibly stuffed into her brain. ”
"You mean, those who died......"
"No one died at all, those people were hallucinations that we had, something that the classmate who committed suicide eight years ago wanted us to see. Five hundred and thirty-six, once, the autistic classmate thought he had five hundred and thirty-six friends, and later, all of them disappeared from his world as if they were dead. For him, the memories of those people are all pages and pages of letterhead, and that's why we see that kind of death scene. It's not the belief in immortals, it's not the resentful spirit killing, it's the inner monologue of that classmate. ”
As he spoke, Li Tao looked at the computer on the side, "These articles have no subject, because in that world of resentful spirits, there is nothing for a long time, what he writes is only the character of those people he sees through the text, and every article is a person." Of course, those people are still alive, it's just that, in the heart of the person with autism, these friends are already dead, and he just uses his own methods to honor them. ”
"Memorial?" Murong Huan laughed, "Why did that resentful spirit do this? Hmph, although the spirit of resentment does not think like a human, it does not do anything meaningless to itself. There must be a reason for such a bizarre thing to happen. ”
Suddenly......
"It's lonely."
A voice sounded in the doorway. Li Tao turned his head and saw that it was Deng Yuhao.
Murong Huan was not surprised, he seemed to have known that Deng Yuhao was standing at the door.
"Is that the answer?" Murong laughed.
Deng Yuhao walked into the bedroom, lit a cigarette, and said: "The disease of autism, basically speaking, is to separate a person from society, and it is not easy to get the care of so many people, and suddenly lose it, that person will definitely feel very lonely." Death could have ended, but suddenly he was endowed with spiritual powers, as if God had given him another chance. If it were me, I would have wanted to ...... Find yourself some friends. ”
Deng Yuhao seemed to be talking to himself, "I understand now, why did that Huo Dongyang reach out to me at that time...... Damn, I didn't even go get him right away. ”
"Friends." Murong Huan stood up, and at the same time, the spiritual pressure on Li Tao's body disappeared completely.
"Deng Yuhao, be careful of this person." After Li Tao got up, he immediately stood in front of Deng Yuhao.
Deng Yuhao looked at Li Tao with a smile, "Who is he?" ”
"Murong Huan is also an exorcist, and his spiritual power is ...... It should be much stronger than me and Sima combined. Li Tao said.
"Sounds scary." Deng Yuhao said with a smile.
Murong Huan laughed, "Li Tao, I said that as long as you answer correctly, it will be calm tonight, but since you refuse to join us, I will also say it, this school is absolutely extraordinary, and we will not allow laymen like you to interfere." I know it's unlikely that the four of you will leave here, so we can only break off between us exorcists and you once, and tomorrow night, we'll let the other exorcists show up, and if you're still here, write a suicide note. ”
"It's not rude to come." Li Tao said, "I have said a lot, so please answer me a question." ”
Murong Huan smiled and nodded.
"Why does the soul of a person who died eight years ago suddenly have this kind of spiritual power? Almost affecting the spiritual power of tens of thousands of people, it can't be just a coincidence. Li Tao said.
"I can tell you that the hallucinations you will see are due to the fact that the water in the school pool has moved its hands and feet, and the thing that appeared this time is not in the form of a wraith at all."
"What?" Deng Yuhao and Li Tao were both a little surprised, "If it's not a resentful spirit......
"Hmph, so ...... Your time is over. After Murong Huan finished speaking, he slowly left the bedroom.
(End of Episode 14)
......
......
Sima kept panting, and finally climbed up from that place. And the first thing he saw was the headmaster wearing a red scarf.
"Tut-tut, you've finally found me." In the night, the headmaster's face was immersed in shadow.
Sima stood up, "Do you know what you're doing?" ”
"One day, you'll approve of these things." "It's time for the world to change. ”
"That's just what you think." Sima said.
"Hmph...... The way you look reminds me of who I was at the beginning. The headmaster turned his face sideways, "You are not mortals, I can understand you when you say such things, but I hope you can remember that Deng Yuhao can no longer stand among the three of you." ”
"You don't need to worry about it." Sima said sharply.
"Soon the result will come out, either you give up Deng Yuhao, or Deng Yuhao leaves you and comes back from the Oneiroi Bedroom, your future path is already doomed. He...... will only become an ordinary person, and eventually become a drag on you. ”
"It's all said, you don't need to ......"
"I'm talking about the facts." The headmaster interrupted Sima, "There are many things that people can't decide, just like the things underneath here, they can't be controlled by me. Give up Deng Yuhao, while you are still young. ”
The voice fell, and the headmaster's figure disappeared into the night.
