Chapter 1085 Fortune Telling for Him
This car, which was heading nowhere, had many blurry scenes passing by the window in a hurry, including tall buildings, streets, passers-by...
All kinds of scenes were played out in turn on the fixed frame of the window, but due to the high speed, they became blurry dynamic pictures.
Ji Li finally noticed something unusual.
Smoke slowly rose from the slender fingertips, and the long hair blocked the left face, revealing the smooth right face. This half of the face was expressionless, only indifferent.
There was a slight gap in the car window, and the cool breeze blew away the long hair from time to time, and the madness on the left face and left eye was looming.
Two different emotions, different faces, contradictory appearances on the same face, suspected to represent split.
Ji Li had been looking out the window, and those fleeting scenes entered his eyes but not his heart. He was looking for a man and a boy.
If he would see this pair of people again in this mission, it would mean that his "madness" was actually for a reason.
In just a few hours, he had found that his emotions and thoughts were beginning to be out of control.
The first time he went crazy was at Chengxianggang Primary School. At that time, he killed a security guard in a similar state, but saw a dying little boy.
The second time he went crazy was in the hotel suite. He broke open Yuan Kuan's body, dug out his internal organs, and looked for what the murderer wanted, but heard a sentence.
"Look, how much you and I are alike."
Before this sentence, his consciousness had become blurred, and he saw the appearance of Yu Guo and the ghost child.
But when he heard this sentence, he broke free from his blurred consciousness. Although the evil spirit awakened, it only occupied a part of it.
This is Ji Li's current state. He is half crazy and half calm, maintaining a delicate balance between two opposite emotions.
This balance is not Ji Li's self-control, but a weird and abrupt result.
According to common sense, Ji Li's madness will occupy the whole body, causing him to completely lose his self-awareness and turn violent and fierce.
The reason for the current result, he suspects that the ghost is still around him.
The root ghost controls the changes of the evil spirit, so that it only maintains half of the level after awakening, leaving Ji Li with the other half of sobriety.
This situation sounds very strange and abnormal.
Why can the root ghost control the evil spirit? Why does it do this?
These are the two most basic questions, but using the remaining half of the sobriety, Ji Li deduced a deeper problem.
Before, during and after this mission, he had seen Yu Guo twice.
The first time Yu Guo appeared was when Mei Sheng was driving to his employer's house, but the mission had not started at that time.
The second time Yu Guo appeared was when he broke Yuan Kuan's body, and the conversation in Tongguan activated his inner obsession.
These two appearances seemed nothing, just a phenomenon caused by Ji Li's abnormal mood changes.
But the weird thing is, why did Yu Guo appear with the ghost child?
The ghost child has been entangled with Ji Li since the last ghost exploration mission. It grew out of Ji Li's heart, waiting for Ji Li to find his true obsession and then start.
This is a special ghost born from Ji Li's heart and will eventually start in Ji Li's heart.
So, why did such a ghost appear at the same time as Yu Guo after his death?
Ji Li took a final puff of his cigarette, threw the butt out of the window, and deliberately covered his left face with his long hair, his right eye permeated with layers of thoughts.
Yu Guo was just a projection of his heart, and the only thing he cared about during the long time he entered the hotel.
But this was definitely not his obsession.
So, the ghost child should be real, but Yu Guo was fake, but the real and the fake were mixed together.
But this was not the most critical point, the important thing was that they appeared for the second time.
The ghost child was a long-term, continuous non-task ghost, and it was impossible for it to appear in the mission being performed.
This point was already determined in the return mission, but why did it appear in the mission this time?
So, returning to the deeper question that Ji Li was thinking about, he suddenly had a more accurate and more terrifying point of view.
In this mission, the root ghost could control his heart, forcing him to wake up or forcing him to go crazy.
The ghost child and Yu Guo who met twice were all fake, and they were all the influence of the root ghost on Ji Li.
"Why can the root ghost control the evil spirit?" This question gradually rose to - "Why can the root ghost control Ji Li's inner changes?"
Now, Ji Li is rushing to the residence of the fortune teller Zhang Huairen. He has been able to confirm that this is the purpose of the root ghost.
The root ghost made Ji Li crazy, but controlled the evil spirit to a degree that did not affect all thoughts, hoping that he would find Zhang Huairen.
Finding Zhang Huairen is an important part of this mission, and it is very likely to advance the mission to a higher level.
Ji Li, seemingly sober but actually confused, analyzed the reason, but could not find the ultimate goal of the ghost.
But he knew very well that this mission should have reached its climax.
The murderer, both human and ghost.
Mei Sheng, Wei Guang and others are setting traps to capture human nature.
Ji Li and ghost are looking for Zhang Huairen together. This step is manipulated by the root ghost, but it is also a step for Ji Li to find ghost.
The two parts of the murderer made two plans, targeting the two sides of the clerk respectively.
Two lines are running at the same time, which side succeeds and which side fails?
Ji Li closed his eyes and took a deep breath, his heart was calm. Even if the evil spirit was affected by the ghost nature, he might not be without the ability to resist.
After all, the evil spirit is his, not the ghost's. When it really comes to an uncontrollable moment, he will drag the root ghost into the water and force the evil spirit to fully awaken.
He can be crazy, but the ghost can't achieve the ultimate goal.
It is still unknown who will win.
The driver is a taciturn man. He didn't say a word in the car, just driving.
Ji Li slowly opened his eyes and moved his gaze from the window to the front seat. Huang Banxian didn't say a word, extremely quiet.
"Old Huang, help me tell a fortune."
This was the first sentence Ji Li said to Huang Banxian after getting on the car, and it was also the first voice in this car.
Huang Banxian, who was sitting in the front, frowned and clenched his hands hidden in his Taoist robe.
The word "Old Huang" came from Ji Li's mouth, but it reminded him of Gu Xingjian. Now Ji Li and Gu Xingjian both called him Old Huang.
This name made him a little nervous. Not only that, but also because the talisman in his cloth bag was faintly hot, which meant that there was a ghost next to him.
Huang Banxian was a man who had seen the world. After a moment of silence, he asked:
"What is it?"
This trip was to find a fortune teller. The five elements and the five internal organs, talismans and religion, Manjusri and the root ghosts, many things will be revealed.
So Ji Li threw out what he wanted in his heart:
"My life."
The word "life" has multiple interpretations, which can be regarded as fate, life and death, grace and disaster...
In fact, being able to ask this question shows that Ji Li is not optimistic about the next action.
