We're dead......

This idea was too bold, so bold that Su Yu was completely stunned.

He remembered someone, Xu Tingfang.

Xu Tingfang is one of his few friends in the strange talk world, once, Xu Tingfang experienced a strange talk called "Close Your Eyes", that strange talk was almost unsolvable, but in the end she and Du Bi'an survived to the end.

Now Xu Tingfang and Du Bi'an are still among the surviving players, and Su Yu has also heard Xu Tingfang talk about it, and that strange talk is a trap from the beginning, and what is needed in the end is to open your eyes.

And this time, this strange story called [Death on Time], if there is also a trap hidden in the name, it is really possible that Xia Nan said it!

"If we're dead, what's the point of light and numbers?" Su Yu asked.

Xia Nan paused for a moment and said, "I haven't figured it out yet, but...... If we are dead, the way this curse proceeds can be explained."

"All mutations can only be witnessed by us, because we are not alive."

"Given that we are already dead, what conclusions can be drawn and where is the way to live?" Su Yu still felt that this idea was a bit unbelievable, "Could it be that what we have to do now is to bring ourselves back to life?"

Su Yu's words made Xia Nan stunned, he thought of Liu Jingqing who had cleared the customs just now, could there be something that brought her back to life?

Or is it some kind of behavior of hers that has "brought herself to life"?

"I don't know, I'll contact Yue Qiuchi, Miss Liu's house has clues to clear the customs, I'll see you later." Xia Nan said.

"Okay." Su Yu hung up the phone, and then looked at Cao Xiangrong's mobile phone.

He opened the call record and took a closer look, Cao Xiangrong had indeed received a call before he died......

Wait a minute?

Su Yu's heart suddenly jumped, he seemed to have grabbed something, looking at the unknown number, his heart was pounding......

————

Time comes back to the present.

Xia Nan made a phone call to Su Yu first, and then contacted Yue Qiuchi.

However, at this time, Yue Qiuchi was already entangled in a curse.

But the ghost didn't kill her, right...... It was precisely because the ghost did not kill her that Xia Nan's speculation was even more firm.

We are already dead, and simply killing, it can't kill us.

However, why did Cao Xiangrong die?

Ray...... number of people, both of which were captured by them.

"Miss Yue, how many people are there around you while waiting for the strange talk to come?" Xia Nan asked.

"Three ......" Yue Qiuchi glanced at the powerful ghost who was driving, and replied with some confidence, "I'm in the mahjong house......

"You've been attacked once?"

"Yes......"

Yue Qiuchi was frightened and could only subconsciously answer Xia Nan's question, but the ghost still ignored her.

And Xia Nan, who got the answer, immediately connected all the known information.

This time, there are five players.

Liu Jingqing, Cao Xiangrong, Xia Nan himself, Yue Qiuchi, and Su Yu.

Arrange from the light situation around each person and the number of people.

First, Cao Xiangrong, when the strange talk came, he was in a nightclub, there were many people, not only a lot of light, but also miscellaneous, there were still a lot of people around him after the strange talk came, and so was the light.

Second, Yue Qiuchi, stayed in the mahjong hall when the strange talk came, there were three people around him, the light was bright and single, and the people around him were still there after the strange talk came, and the light was still there.

Third, Liu Jingqing, stayed at home when the strange talk came, alone, the light was bright, and after the strange talk came, she was also single, the light was still bright, and she turned on all the lights in the house.

Fourth, Su Yu, when the strange talk came, he was on the rooftop, alone, the light around him was dim, only the moonlight, and he was still alone after the strange talk came, and the light was still dim.

Fifth, himself, Xia Nan thought about his own situation, he and

Liu Jingqing is basically the same, the only difference is that after the strange talk came, he chose to turn off all the lights in the house. So, he's the only player who has no one around and no light.

He is also the only player who has not encountered any anomalies so far.

Strictly speaking, if Su Yu didn't take the initiative to find Cao Xiangrong, he shouldn't have encountered strange phenomena for the time being.

If you look at it this way...... The order and reason for the curse is obvious.

But the strange thing is, why did Cao Xiangrong die, but Yue Qiuchi escaped after being attacked for the first time?

Wait a minute...... If the light represents whether the player is cursed or not, then the number of people represents the strength of the curse?

Because there were too many people around Cao Xiangrong, he didn't have anything to do at all, but Yue Qiuchi still had room to struggle.

Will that be the case?

"Sir...... I'm a little tired, should ...... Where do I rest?" On the phone, Yue Qiuchi said tremblingly.

Xia Nan heard clearly on the other end of the phone, Yue Qiuchi was kidnapped to the car by a ghost pretending to be him, and now Yue Qiuchi asked this question, in fact, he was asking her what to do now, how to escape.

However, Xia Nan didn't know...... Suddenly, he thought of Cao Xiangrong's death.

Could it be that the ghost wants to take Yue Qiuchi to a crowded place?

In fact, this moment is an excellent time, this curse is killing people in order, currently it is by Yue Qiuchi's side, Xia Nan is now the best way if he hangs up the phone and quickly joins Su Yu and goes to Liu Jingqing's house to find clues.

But he can't die without saving, after all, he's a forensic doctor, and even though he sounds like a doctor, he belongs to the police system, and he's a police officer.

By the way, there was a siren just now!

He did hear the siren on the phone just now, could it be that Yue Qiuchi was arrested?

"Miss Yue, were you in the police car before?"

"Uh-huh......

"Why?"

"I...... Murder ......"

Yue Qiuchi was still trembling when she said this, she was already desperate, no matter whether she could get out alive or not in this strange talk game, her life was over.

"Can you tell me more about that?" Xia Nan continued to ask.

"But ......" Yue Qiuchi glanced at Xia Nan who was driving, she was very afraid, for fear that the ghost would eat her as soon as she turned her head.

"Don't worry about it, don't worry about it, and believe me." Xia Nan's voice gave Yue Qiuchi a lot of confidence.

But Yue Qiuchi was still a little hesitant, she was completely unfamiliar with Xia Nan, and she couldn't tell if Xia Nan's move was to make her regain her confidence, or just to get information from her mouth.

But thinking that Xia Nan had been on the phone, and that she really didn't have any way now, she made up her mind and believed Xia Nan.

She sat in the back seat, completely ignoring "it" according to Xia Nan's words, and said, "When the strange story came, the light went dark, and then I saw the four words that the fate had been set, and when the light came on again, my friend's face...... It became my ......."

"I'm scared...... I picked up the glass and stabbed her in the face with the slag, and she died......

"Then I didn't dare to stay in a crowded place anymore, so I wanted to go out of the city, I booked an online ride-hailing car, and when the driver came to pick me up, it was like calling the police......

"I received a call on the ride-hailing service, it was my own voice, she told me not to leave the city, I listened to her and got off at the service area......

"But...... When the driver was about to leave, he suddenly became very strange and told me not to walk around......

"I was scared, and after he left, the clerk in the service area found me, and I went in for dinner......

Yue Qiuchi told everything he encountered in detail!

And Xia Nan, who listened to it completely, suddenly asked, "Why did you break your friend's glass when you smashed it?"

"Huh?"

"When did it break?"

"I...... I don't know...

…」

"Have you met anyone else along the way?"

"No...... Only the ride-hailing driver and the clerk in the service area ......"

"Did the clerk ask you any strange questions?"

"No ......"

After Xia Nan asked, he finally let out a long breath.

"It's okay, Miss Yue......

Xia Nan closed his eyes, holding his forehead tiredly, his golden broken hair was exposed to the moonlight, and he whispered:

"It's all just to make you scared and run away to crowded places. But it miscalculated, and you went the opposite way and chose to go outside the deserted city. So...... That phone call stopped you and put you in the service area for the time being."

"The proof is that the service area is a real scene, but the clerk doesn't pay attention to the blood stains on your body after the "murder", because there is no blood on your body at all."

"The only people who saw the blood were you, and the driver."

"You didn't kill anyone, you just fell into the illusion of a curse."

"In the eyes of your three friends, maybe you just suddenly lost your mind and rushed out of the mahjong room."

"After that, everything was under its control. It's the driver, it's the phone call, it's the police who come to arrest you, and it's the one who hits the police with a car."

When Xia Nan said this, Yue Qiuchi was a little dizzy, but she understood it and confirmed one thing herself!

Right...... I had blood all over my hands, so why didn't the clerk in the service area even ask?

Because they are normal human beings, they can't even see the blood on my hands! That is, in the real world, there is no blood on my hands! I didn't kill anyone!

A wave of ecstasy surged over Yue Qiuchi's heart, and she had now completely believed Xia Nan's words, "But, why did it go to such a great lengths to play this play on me?"

"Because...... It can't kill you at all, it can only guide, it can't change your will, think about it, is the reason why it can come over is because you took the initiative to tell it...... Want it to come and pick you up?"

Yue Qiuchi's heart shook wildly! Just like Xia Nan's speculation, she did say something similar!

"The factors that killed you are not complete...... The light, the number of people, although I don't know the specific reason why the curse kills need both, but everything it does is to pull you in this direction."

"So now......" Xia Nan whispered, "jump out of the car."

Xia Nan's last three words seemed to give Yue Qiuchi great strength!

Without hesitation, she opened the car door and jumped out of the red car!

Intense pain came from all over his body in an instant, but the next moment, Yue Qiuchi's eyes suddenly opened......

She was still sitting in the service area, no...... It's lying on the table in the service area and falling asleep!

How can it be?!

I was obviously talking to Xia Nan just now......

She turned her head to see that the mobile phone was indeed on call, and she was indeed talking to Xia Nan!

However, everything just now is like a real dream demon, if she can't wake up, she will really be taken away by the ghost!

"I see......

At this moment, Xia Nan had already left home, and on the way to Liu Jingqing's house, he seemed to be crazy, with fanatical emotions on his face:

"We're not dead, we're ...... Both life and death."

"Light...... Mankind...... It wants us to be recognized by humans as the dead, as long as there is enough light and there are enough people...... Our appearance, our state will be confirmed, and our state will collapse into death under the observation of humans in the real world."

"And if you want to counter this and find a real way to survive, there is only one way......

Xia Nan's voice just fell, but he stopped abruptly.

"Mr. Xianan? Mr. Xia?"

Yue Qiuchi asked anxiously, although she didn't fully understand what Xia Nan meant, judging from his last sentence just now, Xia Nan had obviously found a way out!

But he seems to be in trouble?

Then...... The phone was hung up.

————

On the other side, Xia Nan, who had just left home and was on the way to Liu Jingqing's house, put the phone back in his pocket.

He stood on a sidewalk, a little helpless.

The bright street lamp pulled a long, long, shadowy shadow on the ground.

When he left the house just now, he thought about whether to bring an umbrella with him.

But firstly, it may not be useful to bring an umbrella to block the light, and secondly, in such a late night, there should be no large-scale crowds.

It's just that if you meet three or two people, you still have the same chance as Yue Qiuchi, you have a chance to escape.

However, reality seems to have played a joke on him.

Seven or eight drunken college students, carrying people, staggered onto the sidewalk.

His vigilant words would have been too late to avoid them, but just now, he was analyzing Xing's head, and his attention was completely on the way out.

When Xia Nan found them, it was too late......

"Hey, buddy!"

"Hiccup......

"Get a cigarette!"

The shouting of self-cooked made Xia Nan a little helpless, and sure enough, ...... Or was seen.

Lights, number of people...... All satisfied, the next moment is.

The moonlight suddenly dimmed a lot, and Xia Nan felt a little shuddering.

The group of drunk college students stopped in unison and hung their heads.

"W-"

"Giggle—"

The crisp sound of bones was eerie in the night.

Xia Nan saw their skin wriggling and their bones changing.

Soon...... Faces that were exactly the same as him appeared......

"You should die."

As if a demon drilled out of a humanoid shell, the eight college students had already arrived in front of Xia Nan, with hideous faces.

He triggers all the conditions of the curse.

Moreover, he does not have any props on him, whether permanent or disposable.

As for the way to live?

He did have some ideas, but that ...... It is not completely certain until the scene of Liu Jingqing's house is confirmed.

As for now...... Eight "Xia Nan" who looked exactly like him surrounded him, and a pair of twisted white arms stretched out towards him, cold and dead...... This breath is like hell!

Am I going to die?

Xia Nan didn't expect that his luck would be so bad.

This seems to be the first strange talk after the beginner level, right?

I can only blame myself for being careless......

Xia Nan didn't struggle, he was just in a pity, it was too short...... It's too short to see the truth of the [Children's World].

He was too curious and too regretful......

Terrifying malice poured in from all directions, and his soul was about to be swallowed up by this curse and completely die.

Cold, terrifying, and massive to the point of rambling...... It, the curse, is eating my soul......

Xia Nan could clearly feel that a part of his soul had disappeared permanently.

But at this moment......

A tall dark figure suddenly appeared under the street lamp!

It's so weird that even the light of the street lamps can't illuminate it.

However, the dying Xia Nan heard a voice, a ...... Young man's voice:

"Mind letting me share this body?"

What a young voice!

seems to be the same as Qin Manjiang, still a college student.

Who is it?

It's not like a human, but it doesn't look like a ghost if it can say something like that.

At this moment, where did Xia Nan have any other choices, he consciously confirmed:

"Good ......"

"If you survive...... We share this body......

After getting confirmed, go down

At an instant, the terrifying shadow as black as ink rushed into Xia Nan's body!

And then...... His figure disappeared without a trace in the midst of the ghosts.

And Xia Nan, whose soul was partially devoured, suddenly squeezed another memory into his consciousness......

He was so dizzy that he passed out completely.

Only in the last moment of wakefulness, I saw the three most obvious words in that memory-

Li Xi.
