Chapter 20: The Line Between Life and Death
"Have you asked about the situation at the funeral home?" Li Chenyin asked.
Although Tian Haibo was still confused, he was convinced of his judgment with Li Chenyin at this moment, so he replied patiently:
"Asked, there is indeed an unclaimed corpse here." Tian Haibo said: "The news we heard in the Internet café before was about a gas leak and explosion, and it was about an accident that occurred in an entertainment venue in the center of Jianjiang. Five people died in the early hours of the morning before yesterday, and the other four bodies were claimed by their families. Except for this female corpse. ”
"I inquired, the woman's body was burned beyond recognition, and the staff found the ID card in the purse she was carrying, saying that the deceased had no relatives or friends in the local area, and I remember her name seemed to be ...... Yu Hong. Tian Haibo said.
"Hmm." Li Chenyin remembered the text message Wang Xiao sent to him, and everything was right.
"Yu Hong is Shen Lili, she was dead long before we entered the mission. I wondered why she was alone with the Ghost and wasn't killed instantly. ”
Except for Zheng Juan, the other three victims in this mission were killed not long after receiving the box sent by the ghost. After death, they lost that part of their memories and always thought they were still alive, and what was sealed in the box was their memories of "death".
Once the box is opened, these people will remember the fact that they are long dead, and become real ghosts.
In fact, as early as when she completed the puzzle before, Li Chenyin already had a certain idea of the cracking of the way to live, that puzzle was a ring of years, she later checked it on the Internet, this puzzle has a name, called "Memory of Wood".
And the sound from Han Jianping's house late at night mentioned by the old lady who met in the elevator should be the sound of kicking off his shoes when he was hanged. After witnessing the repetition of the death of the ghost in his home, Li Chenyin confirmed this speculation.
As for Zhou Yan, the movie he found on Jiang Kun's computer was called "Shutter Island", and the protagonists described in this movie were exactly the same as the current Shen Lili, they both lacked an important memory and were constantly chasing the truth. However, after the truth is discovered, everything will be turned upside down......
After communicating with Wang Xiao, he also told Li Chenyin about this discovery through information. At this point, all the clues coincide with her inference.
This afternoon, before she and Tian Haibo were about to enter Han Jianping's house, in the process of going upstairs, Li Chenyin's attention was attracted by a fire extinguisher in the corner. She couldn't help but think of the Internet café she had been to and heard the news on the network management computer......
Therefore, she suddenly changed her mind and asked Tian Haibo to go to the funeral home in the city to check the situation.
"Miss Li, you are so powerful......" Tian Haibo wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, he never expected that the woman he had personally protected in the past few days would be a powerful ghost.
This also explains why Shen Lili did not encounter an attack after encountering Zheng Juan's ghost. Because they are of the same kind, Zheng Juan's ghost wants her to open the box and restore her dead memories.
"There is still a minute left, if Wang Xiao can stop Shen Lili from opening the box, then there is still a glimmer of life." Li Chenyin said. The truth of the current incident has been cracked by her, as long as Wang Xiao can save Shen Lili, in the remaining few days, as long as they are responsible for taking care of Shen Lili and this box, and not letting her open it, as soon as the time of five days is up, everyone can return to the space safely. This is the way to survive this mission!
"What if she fails?" Tian Haibo left the phone booth and took a taxi to the café that he had made an appointment in advance.
"Then we can only figure out how to survive the next three days......" Li Chenyin smiled bitterly. Once Shen Lili recovers the true body of the powerful ghosts, then in the next few days, they will be killed endlessly.
But now, the most dangerous person is Wang Xiao, who is unaware. And she was already holding her phone and came to the second floor of the café alone.
Wang Xiao put the light of his mobile phone out in his pocket, held the handrail of the stairs with one hand, and walked up the dark steps, not even daring to take a breath of air, and walked lightly to the second floor.
The area of the second floor is not large, and looking out of the moonlight outside the window, she soon found that on the dining table at the very end, there was a black figure. With some hesitation, she took out the prop from her bosom and approached the suspicious figure step by step...... took out his mobile phone from his pocket and took a photo, Wang Xiao was overjoyed, fortunately, this is indeed Shen Lili.
"Miss Shen, wake up!" She shook Shen Lili's shoulders desperately.
"Ahh Don't ......" Shen Lili was just about to scream, but she quickly covered her mouth: "Shh, I'll take you away." She took Shen Lili's hand and wanted to take her away, but the other party's body was like being glued to the chair, no matter how hard Wang Xiao tried, Shen Lili sat still.
Her expression looked extremely shocked, she grabbed Wang Xiao's sleeve and pointed to her body tremblingly. "What's there?" Wang Xiao immediately understood what she meant.
"Well, it's right under the table...... Pull me ......," Shen Lili said tremblingly.
When Wang Xiao heard this, his heart suddenly chuckled, and he immediately opened the distance between him and Shen Lili. She doesn't have any props on her body that can dispel ghosts, and she is not sure whether she can save the other party.
"Miss Wang, help me...... I'm scared......" Shen Lili could feel a cold hand holding her calf under the table. She didn't even have to look down to feel that the owner of the hand was slowly burrowing out from under the table along her legs......
Although Wang Xiao wanted to directly launch the props to escape, she was not sure if Shen Lili died, whether her party would be able to survive this mission. After thinking briefly for a few seconds, she took a deep breath and said to Shen Lili, "Can your body still move?" ”
"Yes, except for the left leg." Shen Lili hurriedly responded.
"Then I'll count to three, and you can open the table in front of you." Wang Xiao's response surprised her.
"Okay." Shen Lili could feel the chill in her left leg getting heavier and heavier, and she knew that there was not much time left to delay.
“3”
“2”
“1”
"Move!" As soon as Wang Xiao's words fell, Shen Lili used her strength to eat milk and put the strength of her body on both hands. The "bang" table was completely overturned by her, and the thing under the table that had been holding on to herself was finally revealed.
"Ah!!h After facing the hideous face covered in blood, Shen Lili's frightened face turned pale. The ghost who grabbed himself was her dead boyfriend Jiang Kun!
"Miss Wang......" She fell to the ground in fright, and subconsciously turned her head to ask Wang Xiao for help, but the person behind her had long since disappeared.
"How so!" Shen Lili let out a terrible and desperate scream, looking at the approaching ghost, she had completely given up her desire to survive.
