After another moment, I still didn't notice any movement, and I began to wonder if the method of extinguishing the light source could really lead to shadows, and that the cold wind that had been blowing before might just be the result of my nervousness, and that waiting in the dark was not the way to go, so I was completely passive, and I settled down and decided to light the candle again.

As soon as the candles were lit, the surroundings of the tomb were illuminated again. At first glance, the stone wall is full of criss-crossing sword marks, which is caused by my indiscriminate slashing in the darkness just now, and I can't help but lose confidence in my heart, not to mention whether the shadow has been here just now, even if it really comes, can I deal with it by slashing and chopping so indiscriminately like this?

I swallowed at the thought that I had to come up with a foolproof way to lure it out and to wear out its intention to replace me!

I was about to continue moving forward with a candle, but I was suddenly attracted by a few sword marks on the stone wall, under the candlelight, these sword marks were horizontal and vertically orderly, reflecting the cold light...... It's a row of lettering! I saw the inscription on the stone wall: Waste! Can you live until now...... You're in luck!

Suddenly, I felt my legs suddenly go limp, and I couldn't help but take two steps back! Looking at the inscriptions on the stone wall, I couldn't help but ask in a trembling voice, "Who?" Who carved the word? ”

At this moment, the flame of the candle in his hand suddenly shook violently, and it was directly extinguished! Almost at the same time, I clearly felt a cool breeze passing through my fingertips, and before I had time to think about it, I raised my sword and stabbed it behind me, I was afraid that the direction would not be accurate, and I followed a few more swords, and in the darkness sparks arose, and the long sword struck the stone wall again.

After a burst of sword light, the surroundings returned to calm again, I lit the candle again, and walked towards the direction where the cold wind had just hit, and the notches on the stone wall came into my eyes again! Again, they are not sword marks, but lettering!

I saw five words engraved on the stone wall: your ...... Friends.

After reading these five words, my heart immediately trembled, which was clearly in response to my question just now! Is someone answering me, carving on the stone wall, my old friend?

I was also suspicious of the suspicions in my heart, so I catered to the content of the inscription and asked tentatively, "Old friend?" Then why don't you come out and meet? ”

As soon as I finished speaking, the candle flame suddenly shook again, and before the candle could be extinguished, I brandished my long sword and stabbed after me! Although I knew in my heart that I would not be able to pierce it, the fear in my heart forced me not to stop, and as before, every sword slashed against the stone wall, and everywhere the sword went, it was still not a sword mark, but an inscription: "I have come, we will see you every day!" ”

……

The cycle repeated, and every time I responded to the inscription, the candle flame suddenly flickered, and there seemed to be an invisible force deep within me that always drove me to wield my sword to chase something in the dark space, and I thought it was my shadow. Whenever I re-lit the candle, I found that wherever the blade went, there was always an inscription left behind, which was a response to all my questions. The engraving and the full text of my question are as follows:

Me: You're finally here? What kind of ability is it to hurt people behind your back, and you have the guts...... Just give it to me!

Lettering: Waste! Can you live until now...... You're in luck!

Me: Who? Who carved the word?

Lettering: Your ...... Friends.

Me: Old friend? Then why don't you come out and see it!

Lettering: I've come, we'll see you every day!

Me: It's really you...... My shadow?

Lettering: Yes! I'm inseparable from you all the time.

Me: How did you leave the inscription? Why can't I see you!

Lettering: No, you carved the words!

Me: What do you mean? Did you borrow my hand to engrave it?

Lettering: Not only that, but also borrowing a knife to kill!

Me: Sister Mo, Team Cai, and Liu Yuan, they were all killed by you?

Lettering: Yes, also by your hand!

Me: Why did you kill the three of them? What enmity do they have against you?

Lettering: Not three! It's four!

Me: How could it be four! Could it be that Xinyi is also ......?

Lettering: Don't be nervous, I don't mean her!

Me: And who?

At this time, I suddenly tripped over something, I leaned over and saw a corpse lying in the corner, and I gasped, this corpse had the same appearance as me, he was the one in the mirror!

Me: The fourth one you said is my projection in the mirror?

Lettering: Yes! I killed him!

Me: When did this happen?

Lettering: When he stuffed you with a note to remind you that there was something wrong with Yasuko, I borrowed your hand to push him off the cliff.

Me: Lend my hand again!

Lettering: Yes! Every time you kill, it's a loan from your hand!

Me: You have caused me to be misunderstood by everyone, and I will kill you to avenge them!

Lettering: Don't bother, you can't kill me, now is the time...... It's your place!

……

After reading this last line of words, I couldn't help but feel a chill down my spine, it wanted to replace me, I don't know how to replace it, I immediately used my hands to protect the candle, no matter what, I can't let the candle go out again, as long as there is a bright light, it can't start!

I held my breath and began to pay full attention to the movements around me, only to feel that the wind was gusting in the tombway, and the air seemed to be mixed with some strange sounds that could not be described in words, and the candle flame began to shake violently, and I was immediately extremely nervous!

……

This situation has been going on for more than a minute, even if it feels wrong, but I still don't see the shadow to take actual action, then I suddenly remembered Xinyi's words, she had reminded me to always stay calm, not to be afraid, because everything the shadow does, whether it is killing people or carving words on the stone wall, is done through my hands, and I don't know what the shadow does, which shows that my psychological quality is low, and my own magnetic field has been weaker than the shadow, so that my behavior has been interfered with by the shadow! So I have to calm down, the root of everything lies in myself, only when my psychological defense line is strong, and the aura and magnetic field are stronger than the shadow, can the shadow obediently "shut up"! In order to be able to return to its original state and obey the ontology!

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but swallow my saliva, and I unconsciously felt some confidence in my heart, and said to the surrounding space: "It's not so easy for you to replace me, you just take advantage of the weakness in my psychological defense line to take advantage of the void, you won't have this opportunity again, unless...... You killed me! But you can't do it, at this moment, I am the body, you are the shadow, although you can take advantage of the weakness when there is no light source and my psychological defense is weak, even if you can control my behavior, but don't forget, no matter what you do, you can only borrow my hand, because no matter whether I and you exchange identities or not, all the actions of the two of us must be consistent, because between us, there is always only one body, and the other can only be a shadow, so you can't kill me, and I can't kill you! Because of the existence of the principle of "unanimity", there is only one way for you and me to kill each other: and that is to commit suicide! But then you and I will die, you will not do this, so you are trying to create contradictions between me and others, starting from you borrowing my hand to hand a note to the monkey, and then to the murder plan later, you are just to provoke strife, so that you want to kill me by the hand of others, so as to complete the purpose of replacing me! ”

I shouted everything I had realized to the dark space around me in an extremely hateful tone, and I even realized that these strange and strange sounds in the space at this moment were actually caused by my nervous psychological effects!

As the minutes passed, the candle flame gradually stabilized, the strange sounds in the space disappeared without a trace, and the atmosphere around me gradually returned to the calm I could feel. Even if I extinguished the candle again and danced with my sword, all that was left on the stone wall was an intricate scar of swords, and there was no more engraving, and now that I realized the nature of the problem, the shadow would no longer be able to interfere with my thoughts.
