"No way. Shang Tao blurted out when he heard Chen Li's request.

He didn't know what it would take to build the 'Nine Coffins Soul Devouring Array', but judging from Chen Li's words, at least nine arrays would require nine living people.

Not to mention other needs, he can't agree to the living people needed for this array of eyes.

Although there are already nine people kidnapped by Chen Li here, these nine people can include Su Jing, that is to say, if he wants to save Su Jing, he has to tie up another person to Chen Li.

This is beyond Shang Tao's bottom line.

Chen Li may have seen Shang Tao's scruples, and said: "The people in this apartment have been tied down by me, the movement is so big, it will be exposed soon, I want to find a new place to build the 'Nine Coffins Devouring Soul Array', you just need to help me find a place, and I will catch the people myself, how about it?"

Seeing that Shang Tao was still hesitating, she continued: "As long as you help me find a suitable place, I will release your friend immediately." If you don't agree, I'll kill your friend, and everyone will break up, anyway, I'm no turning back now, whether I'm caught by the police or killed by you, it's all a death, do you think I'll be afraid?"

Shang Tao took a deep breath, closed his eyes and began to think, and Wang Di on the side looked at him at a loss.

Chen Li continued to pressurize: "I don't have much time, and I don't have much patience, give you ten minutes to think about it, and when the time comes, if you still don't agree, we will break up." ”

Shang Tao was silent, seemingly acquiescing, but in fact he was thinking about other questions, "No, no, something was ignored at the beginning of this matter." ”

He didn't want Su Jing to die, but he didn't want to be Chen Li's accomplice either, so he began to mobilize the memories stored in his mind and look for possible ways to break the game.

Memories keep flashing, fast-forwarding, slow-playing, pausing, and replaying.

"The environment here is very good, the price shouldn't be cheap, right?"

"It's quite expensive, I heard my cousin say that the people who live here are students who are preparing for graduate school entrance examinations and want to prepare for the exam quietly. ”

This was the conversation between Shang Tao and Su Jing when they first came to her cousin's rented place.

The next picture shows Shang Tao observing the three-story building, and he finds that on the left of each floor is a single room, and on the right is a two-bedroom suite.

In other words, there are at least nine people living in this small building.

And Chen Li said that she tied up all the people in Xiaolou, plus Su Jing was just nine.

She was originally short of one person when she arranged the big array, Su Jing found that her cousin was abnormal, and she crashed in, in order not to leak the news, and in order to make up for the number, Su Jing was arrested.

As for Shang Tao and Wang Di, she probably didn't expect the two of them to break into here, as long as they dragged on tonight, the big array would be successful.

But he always felt that some key information had been forgotten, and he began to sort out the whole story of the matter.

"My cousin was under pressure to go to graduate school, so she listened to her roommate's advice and went to the big locust tree in the middle of the night to make a wish, and when she came back, she had nightmares. Su Jing said to Shang Tao.

This is how the incident began.

"The pressure is too much, the roommate suggests, the big locust tree makes a wish, and the nightmare begins. Shang Tao found many suspicious points.

"Why did she suggest that Cousin Su Jing go to the big locust tree to make a wish?

"The pressure of the graduate school entrance examination is too great? Isn't this building full of students who are preparing for the graduate school entrance examination? There are many freshly burned incense candles and fresh tributes under the big locust tree, all of which are traces of someone making a wish recently. ”

"The legend of the old locust tree has been passed down for a long time, and although it is graduation season, it is impossible to concentrate on the wish-making craze in these days. ”

"Could it be that the people who go to the old locust tree to make a wish are all students in this building who are preparing to take the graduate school entrance examination? ”

Turning around, the crux of the problem turned to the old locust tree, Shang Tao was even more puzzled, "I went to check the old locust tree, there is no problem, what else is missing." ”

Suddenly, he had a flash of inspiration, "When Chen Li was reminiscing just now, she said that when she was in the welfare home, she no longer believed in these gods and ghosts, and with the passage of time, she gradually walked out of the shadow of her childhood.

And later, she was deliberately admitted to Jinyuan University and went to school quietly for four years, which shows that she has indeed let go and is ready to start a new life.

has let go of the knot in her heart for so many years, how could it be that because she suddenly dreamed of her grandfather, she started to demonize, digging tunnels like crazy, kidnapping people and arranging strange formations.

Her personality change was so abrupt that I didn't feel any signs of hallucination on her, and I always thought it was all her own will, and it didn't seem that simple at all. ”

When no clues are found, everything is like a fog, and when the clues begin to be connected, the fog begins to slowly dissipate.

"Doesn't leave a trace of people's negative emotions, isn't that what the brain monster I encountered at the beginning?" Shang Tao was shocked, a spirit, and the key point was found, "At that time, Wang Di and I were unconsciously angry, which is the evidence that negative emotions are amplified." ”

Chen Li, who was already ready to completely let go of the knot in her heart, was magnified by the obsession in her heart after encountering the brain monster, and began to become crazy, she began to frantically pursue the truth of her grandfather's death, so she dug up the tunnel. ”

Knowing the truth, her faint resentment towards her grandfather and father was magnified, which is why she hated them so much. Then the greed in the hearts of human beings is magnified again, and the formation is complete, and the youth is eternal and extraordinary, who doesn't want it?"

Her negative emotions were affected and amplified, which directly led to the subsequent series of incidents. ”

Shang Tao suddenly brightened, "The reason why I didn't find it when I went to investigate was because it was extremely good at concealment. When I was in Wang Di's bachelor apartment, if I hadn't accidentally knocked into the closet where it was hiding, I wouldn't have sensed its existence at all. ”

The fog was gradually lifted, revealing the strange truth inside.

originally thought that all this was planned and implemented by Chen Li, but who knew that Chen Li was just a chess piece.

She didn't really hallucinate, but she did have a more advanced psychic suggestion.

Step by step, all kinds of dreams and coincidences are used to guide people to the set goals, so that people will be tricked unconsciously.

This method made people shudder, Shang Tao suddenly opened his eyes, looked up at the oblique upward, "This should be the big locust tree, right?"

Goblins can pass through walls, and they move through solids, just like humans swim inside liquids.

This information was felt by Xiao Guo through the wall before, and Shang Tao.

Since ghosts are in solid things, just like people in liquids, ordinary people cannot stay in liquids for a long time as long as they do not have special equipment.

In other words, although the goblin can pass through solid things, it cannot stay inside for long periods of time.

Therefore, it is impossible for the brain monster to shrink into a certain section of the wall or underground, and to find it, you have to find some hidden space.

Shang Tao perfunctory Chen Li on the one hand, and quietly instructed Xiaoguo to let it find traces of the brain monster.

Since Xiaoguo broke away from the control of the previous brain monster, his resistance to mental attacks has greatly increased, and the mental interference created by several ghosts and monsters before has no choice but to get it.

That's why Shang Tao dared to let it look for the brain monster.
