Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Headless Ghost
By now in the conversation, I have roughly understood the root of the misunderstanding between me and the monkey, someone pretended to be me and handed the monkey a note, so that he could take the opportunity to meet with me alone, and the monkey avoided everyone on the grounds of, and during the time difference between me and the others waiting for the monkey, another "I" met with the monkey and came up with a plan, and then the person disappeared, and then cleverly let the monkey meet me, and the monkey never realized the existence of two mes, and could do this, I believe it's only my shadow!
I cleared my mind and asked the monkey again, "Tell me about the plan, what is the content of the plan?" ”
The monkey scrutinized my face, and when it came to the plan, he still seemed suspicious of me: "After I met with the other you, he told me...... One thing! As soon as he said this, the monkey stopped, and it was obvious that he was a little nervous.
I'm already a little impatient: "What's the matter?" Say it! ”
The monkey's gaze swept over Xinyi's and me's faces: "He told me that there were more than two of us in the group...... Not people! ”
"Not human?" I couldn't help but blurt it out.
Xinyi immediately asked, "Why did he say that?" And after that? ”
The monkey continued: "He told me that among us, there is a part...... He wanted to murder us, and he wanted me to work with him to find out that part! ”
Xinyi asked again: "Then did he say who he wanted to murder everyone?" ”
The monkey looked at Xinyi and said, "You...... And Sister Mo! ”
Xinyi and I were both shocked when we heard this, and our hearts suddenly chuckled, it is said that this is not my shadow's style, although he has long asked me to keep an eye on Xinyi, but how could he tell the monkey about this?
"And what about later? Did you believe in Him? ”
The monkey nodded slowly: "I have to believe it, because ...... He showed me something! ”
"What's that?" Xinyi and I asked in unison.
"A video he took with a video camera!"
"He has a camera too?" I couldn't help but glance at Xinyi.
"That's right! His camera is almost exactly the same as yours in all the details of a sign and a style that you carry, so I never doubted his identity! ”
After listening to the monkey's description, I thought to myself, the shadow is my projection in the ghost mirror, so in reality, if I have something, the shadow in the mirror will have the same thing, so it is not strange that the shadow has a camera exactly like me.
I continued to ask the monkey, "What is it in the video that you believe just by watching the video he gave you?" ”
The monkey pondered for a long time before he spoke: "That's a video he took a day ago of us traveling, and it shows us all walking in a glacial canyon at the time, and from the perspective of the shot, he should be behind all of us." ”
I nodded: "There are six of us in our group, including me, you, Xinyi, Sister Mo, Team Cai, and Liu Yuan, can we see all six of us in the video?" ”
"Can't! The other five of us in the video are there, but we just don't see you! Because you are the one who shoots with the camera at the back, you naturally can't shoot yourself! ”
I immediately interrupted the monkey: "You are here again, and you have said that the person who pretended to be me did all this, and I did not shoot this video!" ”
The monkey stared at me and said, "Then how do you explain why you are not in the video?" At that time, the canyon was already very narrow, and we all lined up and went in turn, and you broke off at the back of the line, and if there was a video taken by someone impersonating you with a camera from behind you, it stands to reason that you should have been filmed in too, but there was no you in the video, where did you go? Also, you're at the end of the line, and if there's someone behind you who takes a video with a camera, wouldn't you know? ”
The monkey's question really stumped me, even if it was really a video taken by my shadow following behind, why wasn't I filmed? Did the monkey miss it? Or is the light bad?
Seeing that my conversation with the monkey was at an impasse, Xinyi immediately mediated on the side and said, "Let's not talk about this issue for a while, let's talk about the content of the video, what did she film?" Why did he say that Sister Mo and I ...... Not human? ”
The monkey let out a long breath and looked at Xinyi with a strange look: "Because I saw from the video, you and Sister Mo ...... No heads! ”
"What? No head? The monkey's words really startled me, and I gasped and asked, "Why do these two people ...... No head! ”
"I didn't know, I was surprised at the time, but in the video, the two of them really don't have heads, like two ...... Headless ghosts! It is precisely because I watched this video that I believed his words, and I felt that Sister Mo and Dong ......" The monkey said and couldn't help but look at Xinyi: "I think you may really ...... It's not human, your existence is definitely ...... Murder us! ”
The monkey said it word by word, and I couldn't see any trace of lying from his expression, and if the video he said was true, it would be too weird! ”
"But Sister Mo was killed by someone who cut her throat, do you still think she is not human?" Xinyi took a deep breath and continued to ask the monkey, "Then how did you implement the plan?" ”
The monkey replied: "After watching the video, I completely believed his words, so I discussed with him to find out you and Sister Mo!" It's up to me to cause chaos, and he's waiting for an opportunity to act! ”
"Causing chaos?" I couldn't help but blurt it out.
"Yes!" The monkey slowly walked up to me and said, "Do you remember that before Sister Mo died, I told you that I saw a dark shadow? ”
"Of course I do! At that time, as soon as I heard that a dark shadow ran ahead, we all immediately chased after it, Xinyi and Sister Mo rushed to the front, they entered two forks in the road, and I was in one of the forks...... I saw Sister Mo's corpse! It is very likely that Sister Mo was killed by that black shadow! ”
The monkey asked me in a low voice: "That fork in the road is a dead end, then I ask you, the black shadow that killed Sister Mo...... Where did it go? ”
I was stunned for a moment: "I don't know, I mentioned to you a long time ago, there may be mechanisms in the tomb that we don't know about, and the black shadow may have escaped from the secret passage after killing people!" ”
The monkey breathed a sigh of relief: "It's not as complicated as you say, that dark shadow...... It simply doesn't exist! ”
"Doesn't exist?" I suddenly felt a chill run down my back: "You mean, that dark shadow...... Is it your fiction? ”
"That's right! This was the beginning of that plan! ”
When I heard this, I immediately remembered, no wonder the monkey asked me a question at that time, and he said...... It's time to start planning...... It turned out that this was a deliberate mess he created!
The monkey continued: "Actually, I didn't see anything at the time, I deliberately said that I just wanted to create chaos when I saw someone, and it just so happened that the fork in the tomb in front of me separated Dong Xinyi and Sister Mo, so that you and I could be alone with the two of them separately, so as to ask them about the origin and find out the truth of the matter!" ”
As soon as the monkey's voice fell, Xinyi asked him, "So, when I meet you in the fork in the road, you ask me who I am?" ”
"Yes!" The monkey nodded meaningfully: "I was just about to ask you, when I heard Sister Mo's screams, and when we rushed over, Sister Mo had already slit her throat and died, and I couldn't imagine it...... Lao Yang actually ...... directly to Sister Mo Let's go! ”
