Chapter 37: The Struggle in Despair
After hearing Xiao Mo's helpless words, everyone looked at the mirror uncertainly, and after seeing it, their hearts suddenly cooled half, because the thing that was originally just a black spot had already poked its head out at this time.
"Are there no more victims?" Cheng Nuan grabbed Mu Xue's hand and asked desperately. Mu Xue glanced at her numbly, shook her head and didn't say anything, but Professor Qi behind her replied to her:
"The facts are clear here, all the victims are dead, and now it's our turn to passively accept the ghost mirror game."
"We haven't even figured out what the ghost mirror game is yet, and we passively accept it...... And he was doomed. At this time, Wang Zi also looked desperate.
"Grandpa...... We ......"
"Don't be afraid." Professor Qi pretended to be calm and patted Fang Tang's shoulder and comforted:
"It's going to be fine, we can all survive."
Fang Tang nodded in a choked voice, even though he knew that it was entirely Professor Qi comforting him.
The newcomers' desperate remarks made Li Shuai very happy, he spat on the ground fiercely, and shouted in his voice:
"Whoever thinks he's dead, come to me to report, there's a shortage of guinea pigs."
Everyone was silent, and no one wanted to die like this. Seeing this, Li Shuai smiled coldly:
"Since you don't want to die, then desperately try to find a way to live, don't chirp crookedly and make me ears!"
Dropping this sentence, Li Shuai came to Xiao Mo's side in two steps, patted his arm and asked:
"How's it going, can't you think of a way?"
"I thought of it, but it's not a way, it's a way for me to die." Xiao Mo made a rare joke with Li Shuai, which also made Li Shuai stunned:
"Can I understand that you have confirmed that you are dead?"
"You think I'm an idiot, how could I think that, just try to calm myself again. Otherwise, it's really dead. ”
Hearing this, Li Shuai pretended to be pleased and nodded with a smile and said:
"Okay, Xiao Mozi, you have a good hand to play calmly, it seems that the cultivation of handsome guys still has some results."
Xiao Mo didn't talk nonsense with Li Shuai anymore, because the ghost in the mirror had already spread out the cards in his hand to them at this time.
It's still the same old question:
"How many cards are there...... How many bars? ”
Hearing this, Xiao Mo's eyelids jumped uncontrollably, and he knew in his heart that the time left for them by ghosts was only fifteen minutes at most.
To be clear, if they still haven't found a way to get through the game. Then these fifteen minutes are the countdown to their deaths.
Xiao Mo rubbed his face vigorously, trying to calm himself down.
Li Shuai stood very close to the ghost thing, and kept hitting the ghost thing's head with the "umbrella", but the ghost thing was not afraid of this, and still blindly crawled out.
"I don't want to die...... Please, find a way......"
Cheng Nuan had collapsed, she sat on the ground, crying silently, muttering something to herself. Fifteen minutes. For her, there were only fifteen minutes left of her life.
Professor Qi and Fang Tang sat back to back, seemingly ready to accept death. It's not that they don't want to think, but in the current atmosphere of approaching death. They simply can't think.
Wang Zi is considered to be a relatively good psychological quality, he did not give up, but desperately stared at the cards in the hand of the ghost, calculating over and over again in his heart.
Xiao Mo after a short period of adjustment. began to review this incident in detail, from Chen Siyu to Wang Chenwei, and then to the just-dead Chen Jia and his wife.
Strictly speaking. There is one thing that these three groups of victims have in common, and that is illusion.
Chen Siyu first saw that there were ghosts in her house, and then told her mother about it, but her mother was very confused and insisted that she didn't see anything. Chen Siyu became suspicious of her mother because of this, and soon witnessed a ghost disguised as her mother in the kitchen, and took out her mother's head from the refrigerator.
But in fact, her mother is still alive.
The second victim, Wang Chenwei, first saw someone sneaking into his bathroom, and then he called the police to arrest him, but when the police opened the door, they found that there was nothing in the bathroom.
Then he was frightened and fainted, and the girlfriend of the tour guide who was supposed to be leading the group outside suddenly came to visit and led him into the house, and then witnessed a series of terrible things, but when he woke up, he found that he was still at home, and his girlfriend was still leading the group outside, and he had never looked for him at all.
Besides, Chen Jia and Zhang Chenyun and his wife, first Chen Jia witnessed the death of his wife, and then saw his colleague fall from the building, but it didn't take long to see his colleague come back from the dead and invite him to dinner. He went to ask the other colleagues, but they didn't respond, and then her dead wife came back to life and told him that she had seen something that didn't exist in the attic.
As for her wife, she first saw something that didn't exist in the mirror of the attic, and then went to the attic with Chen Jia at night, and witnessed the scene of Chen Jia hanging herself, so she was terrified of Chen Jia.
But in fact, Zhang Chenyun and Chen Jia are both alive, and Chen Jia's colleague is not dead.
This common denominator is not something that Xiao Mo only realizes now, but the result of coming into contact with them.
And there is more than one place where the illusion appears, and they have seen the illusion to a greater or lesser extent.
The first time was when Chen Siyu was killed, Li Shuai was responsible for moving Qiu Chuan, but unexpectedly found that Qiu Chuan's neck had an inexplicable pinch mark, and as for the wound that originally killed him, it disappeared strangely.
Next was when Wang Chenwei was killed, they obviously saw that Wang Chenwei was divided by ghosts and died, but when he was called back by Li Shuai to check, Wang Chenwei's body was still alive, and the wreckage that was originally splashed all over the room had disappeared.
Zuihou is Chen Jia and his wife, he obviously saw Zhang Chenyun's head rolling down from the upstairs, but after Chen Jia was killed, they looked back and found that Zhang Chenyun's body appeared downstairs, and her head was still on it.
Chen Jia was the same, all over his body, only one wound was found in the back of his head, not the kind of death they saw.
It can be seen that it is not only the victims who hallucinate, but also the escapees.
This problem is also something that Xiao Mo has been paying attention to and is very troubled by, because no matter how you look at the ghost mirror game, it has nothing to do with this illusion.
Could it be that the ghost mirror game itself is an illusion that actually doesn't exist? But since it doesn't exist, then they can't talk about accepting it or not.
"Ahh Xiao Mo grabbed his head and roared irritably.
He racked his brains and thought about it for a long time, but Zuihou returned to the original point, and he still couldn't find out how these seemingly suspicious factors had anything to do with the ghost mirror game.
What the hell is a ghost mirror game?
He once felt that the ghost mirror game was a counting game proposed by ghosts, and as long as you answered correctly, you could pass it. But the truth is that if you answer correctly, answer incorrectly, or don't answer, you will be killed.
He had doubted that it was right to blow out the four fire candles, or destroy the mirror where the demons lived, but the truth was that the mirror would not be destroyed, and even if the four fire candles were blown out, it would be useless.
"What the hell is the truth!"
Fifteen minutes have passed in the blink of an eye, and the ghost in the mirror has already detached most of its body. Except for Li Shuai, everyone was like ashes, either in a daze, or crying and choking.
At this time, Mu Xue suddenly stood up from the ground and said to Xiao Mo and Li Shuai:
"Let me be the first to answer."
Hearing this, everyone raised their heads in shock, and Li Shuai frowned and stopped:
"Aifei, have you lived enough and want to die?"
"I just wanted to do something for you." Mu Xue bit her lip, which showed that she really made a lot of determination.
"Joke, you're just sending you to death, it's a fart contribution, if you're really good for us, just stay where you are, if someone really wants to be a guinea pig, it won't be your turn."
Hearing Li Shuai's words, Mu Xue couldn't hold back her emotions anymore and suddenly cried:
"Then what do you want me to do, are you still the same as last time, watching the most important person die in front of me, but there is nothing you can do!
Don't say I don't want to live, of course I want to live with you, and of course I want to do something for you to finally escape from this hellish place with you.
But right now, there's nothing we can do about ghost mirror games.
So, please let me be selfish in zuihou once, let me go first, because compared to death, watching you die is the thing that scares me the most! ”
Li Shuai still wanted to persuade Mu Xue, but he really couldn't open his mouth, because the current situation was just like what Mu Xue said, no one had a way to solve the ghost mirror game, it was just a matter of dying first or dying later.
"Mu Xue, if you believe me, sit back honestly for me, because ...... None of us will die! ”
Xiao Mo, who had not spoken before, finally stood up when Mu Xue was about to answer.
Mu Xue didn't respond with tears in her eyes, so Xiao Mo repeated loudly:
"Believe me, just sit back honestly, I'll definitely find a way!" (To be continued......)
