Chapter 209: Drink this bowl of chicken soup

During the night, evil spirits roamed outside. There was an old lady with a hairy face strolling around carrying a basket full of bloody fingers. There was a young mother strolling with her child, but this young mother walked with her toes dangling down and floated. The little kid next to her had his mouth grinning to the back of his head, and he was unwilling to leave but could not resist the terrifying mother. The little ghosts playing hide-and-seek were still having a lot of fun, and sometimes they would run through the corridor outside, causing a series of strange and hurried footsteps.

In fact, when they found Fatty Qian and the others, the faces of all of them, including Brother Mao, were not very good.

"What happened to them? It's like seeing a ghost." Lin Qiqi felt like she had said something nonsense.

"Sister, this is much scarier than seeing a ghost." Fatty Qian's iron-blue face was a little stiff. He stretched out his fat hands and rubbed his face hard, and then he looked a little more red.

"The fat guy is good at talking. Let him talk. I need to take my time." Brother Mao's condition seemed to have recovered well. Obviously, the hypnotist's hypnosis was successful. However, at this moment, the hypnotist Kannan's condition was worse than Brother Mao's before.

This woman, who was originally of the same age as Brother Mao and was very intellectual, now had fear in her eyes.

Even Yu Xiaoru, a very lively girl, was silent at this moment.

Before, she and Fatty Qian had been attacked by a group of ghosts, some had broken bones and their clothes were torn. But at this moment, in addition to the physical pain, she seemed to have suffered some kind of huge mental shock.

Only when she saw An Zhiyan did she go over and speak in a low voice, looking aggrieved.

"Luo Ju, Yu Yatou and I fled into the inner room at that time, but you didn't come in. You were dragged out by the ghosts outside. I was so anxious at that time and wanted to go out and fight, but there were too many ghosts. Later, I heard you ringing the bell outside. The noise at that time was so devastating, and the ghosts were crying and howling. The sound alone almost made me scream until the next cycle day. Later, I had no choice but to temporarily close the door and rely on the talismans in the house to resist the impact of those ghosts."

Luo Xi had naturally anticipated the situation that Fatty Qian described.

It was indeed very dangerous at that time.

They have almost used up all the cards that can restrain evil spirits. Even cards like [Exorcism] can only make the ghosts retreat temporarily, but it is only a temporary solution and not a permanent cure.

The [Soul-Catching Bell] can restrain it, but if you want to kill the ghosts, you have to keep shaking it violently. However, this item is a double-edged sword. It kills one thousand enemies but injures eight hundred of your own. If Luo Xi had not torn off the protective talisman in advance and calculated that he could be replaced by a ghost in that "dark night", he would have escaped and broken the influence of the curse. Otherwise, he would have died.

Similarly, his almost mutual destruction style of fighting also killed most of the ghosts and monsters outside. Otherwise, Fatty Qian and his men would not have been able to defend the house inside.

"Later, it was quiet outside. We hid inside and didn't dare to go out. Brother Mao was receiving treatment. Although I was extremely worried, I had no other options. I just survived that dark night. During the day, I had planned to go out and explore, but you told us not to run around and to stay in the safe house. I listened to you."

"Just like that, nothing happened, and it was time for the night to change again. But this time, something happened that gives me the creeps when I think about it now." Fatty Qian is very good at storytelling, and at this moment Lin Qiqi, An Zhiyan and Ke Lan were all listening with great interest.

"The pregnant female ghost is awake?" Luo Xi suddenly asked.

"Ah, Luo Ju, you, how did you know?" Fatty Qian was shocked. Even Yu Xiaoru over there looked over with an incredible expression.

"And the baby in her belly was born, right?" Luo Xi asked again.

This time, Fatty Qian jumped up and looked at Luo Xi with horror.

"We really didn't expect the situation to happen at that time, because the big-bellied female corpse had a lot of talismans on her body and was tied with a lot of golden ropes. It looked like it was sealed, so it should have been safe. So when she opened her eyes and stood up, we were really scared." Yu Xiaoru continued at this time.

"Go on." Luo Xi knew that if only the big-bellied female corpse had woken up, it wouldn't have scared Fatty Qian, Yu Xiaoru, or even Brother Mao to such an extent. Something even more terrifying must have happened afterwards.

Yu Xiaoru took a deep breath: "The female corpse started talking. She called out each of our names accurately. She also said some inexplicable things. For example, she actually knew my nickname and asked me if I remembered her."

One could see a hint of fear on Yu Xiaoru's face.

Think about that scene, a horrible female corpse stands up, calls her own nickname that no one else can know, and asks: Do you remember my old friend?

"Is there more to it than that?" Luo Xi felt that Yu Xiaoru would not be frightened like this.

"Of course there's more!" Yu Xiaoru continued, "The belly of the female corpse was cut open, the baby was taken out, and then eaten."

This scene can indeed cause physical discomfort to most people, and of course, it also has a strong impact on the mental health.

Taoist Mao said that the body of the female corpse contained a fairy fetus in her belly, and when the female corpse was resurrected, she ate the fairy fetus. Does this count as intercepting the fetus?
If Taoist Mao hadn't died, the other party would have been so angry that he would have died after hearing this.

"Besides eating, what else did she say?" Luo Xi glanced at Yu Xiaoru, then glanced at Fatty Qian over there. This time, the latter hurriedly said, "At that time, we thought that monster wanted to kill us, but he just kept talking nonsense, saying, 'Si Ya, you have been stupid since you were a child, you are not good at studying, sports, or anything else. Why do you think you can escape from here?' He also said, 'Last time he deceived you into such a miserable state, but you still trusted him so much.' Then he scolded me, scolded me like crazy."

At this time, Fatty Qian reached out and touched his face. His fingers were trembling. At this moment, he looked at Luo Xi, and his expression was almost crying: "But Luo Ju, Si Ya is my nickname. Because I have three older sisters, my parents call me Si Ya. But I have never told anyone about this. So, how did that female corpse know? She actually knows something that I can't do at all. Who on earth is she? Could it be that she is my mother who passed away early in life?"

Luo Xi understood at this moment why Fatty Qian and Yu Xiaoru were so terrified. When a person is known by a stranger, it is terrifying in itself, not to mention that this stranger is a terrifying monster.

"If it is the ability to read memories, it is not surprising that the other party knows your secrets." Luo Xi tried to comfort the two.

But Fatty Qian reacted fiercely: "No, that's not right. If it wasn't for that female corpse talking about it, I would have forgotten about it myself. I can't even remember my childhood. You don't know that feeling. She stirred up a past that I had forgotten, so why am I here? How many times have I become a memory collector? This place is like a cage, and I'm like a chess piece. And she said that I was deceived last time. Who is she talking about? Who is deceiving me?"

It was obvious that something was wrong with the fat man's condition.

Luo Xi sighed, then raised his voice and asked, "So you plan to be influenced by a monster whose origin you don't know, and then become a lunatic who is self-doubting and immersed in despair?"

Perhaps it was Luo Xi's serious expression and the sudden rise in his voice that intimidated Fatty Qian. He remained silent, and Yu Xiaoru didn't speak either.

Luo Xi knew that this time, the two of them had their thinking and cognition affected by the female corpse. If this situation could not be corrected in time, they would soon fall into the abyss of despair under this contradictory self-doubt and fear.

If other people encounter this kind of thing, they might give guidance and try to stop it.

But Luo Xi's solution is always different from that of normal people.

You are about to fall in, or you haven't fallen in yet. How about I give you a hand and kick you down?

"To be honest, the duration of the Day of Confinement may be far beyond your imagination, Fatty. I remember you said that you have saved the memory more than a dozen times, right?" Luo Xi looked at the other party.

Fatty Qian nodded subconsciously.

"And Lin Qiqi, she has already survived hundreds of cycles. But even so, this may only be the result of this cycle. Before this, the number of times you have become a memory restorer may exceed this number, and it is far greater than this. Because according to normal logic, we all know that this is not the first time for all of us to become a memory restorer. Perhaps in the past years, some of you have survived hundreds or even thousands of cycles."

"But even the most powerful memory restorer cannot guarantee that he will not lose his memory. It may be that his memory is exhausted, or he may be robbed, have his card ring taken away, and then be tortured and killed. Either way, it is almost inevitable. So, don't be afraid of losing your memory. It is not a death corroded by despair, but a new life embellished by hope."

"So, you will inevitably lose your memory, and you will inevitably become a person who regains memory again. It is even possible that you can kill your desperate self and create a hopeful self. This is your own choice."

"As for that monster, in my opinion, she is just a lunatic who is trapped in self-doubt and self-destruction. Maybe she has other intentions and plans, but they are not important to us. Even if she knows some of your secrets, there is only one explanation. She knows you, and was even very familiar with you in the past. Those secrets were told to her by you. If you think so, do you still think she is mysterious and scary?"

At this time, the expressions in the eyes of Fatty Qian, Yu Xiaoru, including Brother Mao, the hypnotist and Zhang Ming over there were completely different from before.

The confusion, fear and despair about the future are gone.

"So, after drinking my bowl of chicken soup, do what you should do. Also, I want to ask, did you notice that there were paper people in the room?" Luo Xi suddenly changed the subject and asked a question.

"paper man?"

Fatty Qian looked confused, but Yu Xiaoru seemed to have thought of something.

"Yes, there is a paper figure in the corner, but we think it was placed by the big rabbit, just like the talisman and bronze mirror that were originally in the room."

"Then where did the female corpse go?"

"She left."

"Where's the paper figurine?"

"I didn't notice it. Maybe he's still in that room."

In fact, when Luo Xi explored the room just now, he did not find the paper man.

"One more thing, I found a lot of dirt in that room. Where did it come from?"

"Mud? I don't know." Fatty Qian and Yu Xiaoru were all confused.

Luo Xi frowned at this time: "There is something wrong with this scene, the plan has changed, we should leave now."
