Chapter 199 Another Secret of Becoming a Ghost
Chapter 199 Another Secret of Becoming a Ghost
Along with the broadcast, the environment outside changed in a process visible to the naked eye.
Fatty Qian came over and whispered, "Well, it stands to reason that ghosts can't be seen during the day, but why are those who have been replaced able to move around?"
"Because they are no longer ghosts, but human beings."
"But how do you explain the big-bellied ghost in the house? It was daytime just now and we saw it!"
"Idiot, that's because of the Taoist's magical power of talismans." Taoist Mao answered quickly.
Fatty Qian went up and slapped him: "You are the idiot, get it clear, we are helping you now, and you are still being stubborn? Why, tell me why?"
All of a sudden, Taoist Mao became obedient.
I guess he can see that Fatty Qian is a reckless young man. If they continue to argue, there's no telling what this guy might do.
But at this moment, Fatty Qian suddenly realized something and turned to look at Yu Xiaoru.
"Oh, that's not right, Luo Ju, wasn't Yu girl replaced? So she is now a 'ghost', but why can she appear during the day and not disappear? She didn't have the rabbit talisman before."
Upon hearing this, Brother Mao also became nervous.
He was closest to Yu Xiaoru, and at this moment he shivered and subconsciously turned his head to look. His body froze, and he didn't know whether to run or not.
"So, after being replaced by a ghost, I can only appear at night? No wonder I always felt something was wrong before. During the day, I couldn't see anyone in the entire building, and it was foggy," said Yu Xiaoru.
Then she looked at Fatty Qian and Brother Mao before she reacted.
"Ah, you guys are not doubting me?"
"Don't be surprised." Luo Xi acted calmly: "If Yu Xiaoru had a problem, she would have taken action long ago and would not have waited until now."
"But how do you explain her situation? Since the ghost has replaced her, then logically, her current identity is a 'ghost' and she can only appear in the dark. But she was indeed seen both during the day and at night. Unless, the rule that ghosts can only appear in the dark does not hold true."
"No, this rule is valid." Luo Xi corrected: "We, including Ke Lan, have not encountered other replaced companions to prove this. In addition, the people who entered the scene before should not have realized the rule of name-calling replacement, so they were all fooled. Even if they reacted, they were too late to deal with it. If they could appear during the day, the scene could not be so silent. When night falls, the situation of a hundred ghosts at night is very dangerous. They can only hide and dare not mess around, so we can't find them. In addition, ghosts can not only kill people, but also kill ghosts, so we can't rule out the possibility that some of them are dead."
Having said that, Luo Xi looked at Taoist Mao.
"Master, am I right?"
"Uh, I'm not too sure either." Taoist Mao avoided looking at Luo Xi, not daring to meet his gaze.
"Don't deny this. I know that you not only know it, but you also understand the rules very well. Don't forget, you just said that those scapegoats can help us find them all, and you also said that you can bring back the people who were replaced by the ghosts!"
"Oh, did I say that?" There was a cunning look in Taoist Mao's eyes, and he simply denied it.
I guess he still wants to use this matter as a bargaining chip.
"Do you know why I don't want to hear you say that?" Luo Xi walked over and looked at Taoist Mao closely. As a result, the short tail of the rabbit trembled when he looked at it directly: "Because even if you don't say it, I will know it."
"This person is scarier than a ghost." This is what Taoist Mao was thinking at the moment.
Luo Xi walked up to Yu Xiaoru again.
The latter was also very nervous for some reason and looked at Luo Xi coquettishly.
She believed that as long as Luo Xi gave the order, Fatty Qian and Brother Mao next to her would immediately turn against her and kill her.
"I've already explained the random roll call rules for ghost transformation. Since this mechanism is unsolvable, you won't die after you become a ghost. You will just bear the identity of a 'ghost'. At the same time, you will passively follow the restrictions on 'ghosts' in the scene. That is, you can only appear at night and you can't see them during the day. This explains why we can't find those people who entered the scene before during the day."
"At night, ghosts appeared, but because of the special environment, chaos and danger, it is also difficult to find them. In addition, only the 'ghosts' who replaced them appeared during the day. However, these ghosts acted carefully and sometimes deliberately avoided others. They might be looking for an opportunity. Maybe the ghost who replaced Yu Xiaoru was also active in a certain area before, but we didn't know it."
"As for Yu Xiaoru, she had never appeared in the daytime before she met me."
Hearing this, Yu Xiaoru nodded hurriedly: "Yes, this is true. During the daytime before this, I felt like I was in a building covered in fog. There was almost no one there. Even if I heard some noise occasionally, I didn't dare to go over. How should I put it? That place is too scary, even scarier than a hundred ghosts coming out at night."
"Luo Ju, I don't understand, why that girl Yu can appear in the daytime this time?" Fatty Qian couldn't help but ask.
"I said, because he met me, or rather, she met a living person who could 'prove' that she was Yu Xiaoru during the night time period. This should be one of the ways in which the person who was replaced by a ghost can 'change back', just like being replaced by a ghost without any symptoms."
"I understand!" Fatty Qian suddenly realized, "In the dark night, the little ghost mistook Yu Xiaoru for her mother and happened to drag her to the small dining table, where she happened to meet you. You proved that she was Yu Xiaoru, so her identity was changed back, but her clothes and cell phone were not returned."
"That's because the ghost who replaced her is still there. If she can kill that ghost and pass the level, what she lost will come back. At the same time, she should be able to get higher-level rewards. Although these are just speculations, the possibility is very high." All of Luo Xi's speculations were based on inferences based on a valid chain of evidence.
So it's very convincing.
Yu Xiaoru, Mao Ge and Qian Pangzi, at this moment, suddenly realized and figured out the mechanism of "identity replacement" in this scene.
"Damn, the administrator of this scene didn't say anything before coming in, so we have to figure it out on our own. This is too difficult and every step is dangerous. If we take a wrong step, we're done for." Fatty Qian muttered, getting angrier the more he thought about it.
"So, that guy didn't want our tickets." Luo Xi didn't care about it.
The preset rules for each level scene are different.
Although some general rules can be used as a reference, you should never use one scenario and directly apply it to other scenarios. If you do so, you will only suffer.
"Another point is that even if those ghosts replace others, they cannot use the card book, so the authenticity can be judged from this point." After Luo Xi finished speaking, he turned his head and glanced at Taoist Mao. The big rabbit was shocked, and his expression was as if he had eaten a fly. There was disbelief and anger in his expression.
The other party must know this rule, but it has not gained any benefits from using this chip.
At this moment, a copper bell hung on the door by Taoist Mao suddenly rang.
Ring ring ring.
It was as if it was being pulled by an invisible thread, swaying from side to side.
"If something tries to break in, let me go quickly. Only I can control the formation in the house. If it's too late, you will regret it later." Taoist Mao roared.
It shouldn't be nonsense.
Through the gaps in the windows that were blocked by wooden boards and guardrails, one could see many figures moving around outside, but all of them were silent. The only thing that could be seen was the copper bell that was swinging like crazy, giving one an idea of the seriousness of the situation outside.
But Luo Xi won't let it go.
He walked to the door, opened it, walked out, and closed the door behind him.
The movements are done in one go.
"Madman, he is absolutely a madman, he is a madman, can't you see it?" Taoist Mao was anxious and jumped up and down, and just at the moment when he opened the door, everyone in the room could see the row of ghosts outside the door.
The quantity is extremely large.
How dare you go out in this situation? If not crazy, what?
"Shut up, I'll beat you to death if you keep yelling." Fatty Qian came over and cursed, "No matter what Luo Ju does, I will support him 100%, and without reservation."
Outside the door, Luo Xi was alone, looking at several familiar faces at the door, as well as more strange and terrifying ghosts. At this moment, he was like a lone warrior.
But he didn't have a knife in his hand, only a card.
【Soul-catching Bell】
This thing has the six-word mantra engraved inside. When it is shaken, demons and evil spirits will retreat wherever the bell rings. Shaking it intensively can kill evil spirits. It is a high-level magic weapon. Of course, every time it is used, it will be tainted with a kind of "curse".
But the merits outweigh the flaws, and it must be used at critical moments.
Worrying about gains and losses will only lead to failure in the end.
The narrow road meets the brave to win!
"Have the people been brought here?" Luo Xi glanced around and saw Lin Qiqi, Wu Rui, Guo Zening, An Zhiyan, and several other people from Shiyi who had followed Liang Qu before. There were quite a few of them.
But now, they have all been replaced by ghosts and are imposters.
Behind these people, there are many unfamiliar faces, but without exception, they are all people replaced by ghosts. There are no less than fifteen or sixteen of them. They should be the people who recalled the past who entered the scene before.
These 'fakes' filled the corridor in front of the door, each with a grim look and full of malice.
"Luo Xi, just as these people remember you, you are indeed a strange person." The 'ghost' who played An Zhiyan said at this time, his tone full of danger, his eyes staring at Luo Xi without blinking.
"Thank you for your comments, but I don't need them. One last question, have you brought the people here?" Luo Xi obviously knew how to negotiate, especially in this situation.
These ghosts have their advantages.
That is the extent of understanding of the entire building, and they are also divided into different forces.
Generally speaking, we can judge that there are two types of ghosts: the obsessed ghosts with low degree of freedom and muddle-headedness, and the smart ghosts with high degree of freedom and cunningness.
The so-called 'scapegoats' also belong to the latter.
So if you want to find someone in this "Haunted Building", it is obviously better to let these evil ghosts find it than to rely on yourself or the power of living people.
The efficiency must be the highest.
Sure enough, from behind, a tall 'fake' wearing what looked like black curtains smiled sinisterly and lifted up its clothes.
The ghost's body was almost empty, like a large wardrobe, and inside it was a woman.
The other party was very scared.
But he still gritted his teeth and persevered. He had some injuries on his body, but they didn't seem to be a big deal.
Luo Xi looked at her, and she was also looking at Luo Xi.
The woman also wore a card ring on her finger, which was of a simple style.
"Hypnotist, Kannan?"
