Chapter 1154: With the Ghost
In Ji Li's imagination, there were two possibilities: either a clue or a root cause.
After meeting the "doctor", Ji Li had reduced the infinite possibilities to the first guess.
After all, judging from the two events of Achun turning into a ghost and Kun Sheng having parasitic thoughts, the doctor is most likely to be the source of this supernatural event.
But when the third act of the story was delayed, Ji Li suddenly noticed something was wrong.
"If Xiao He is just a clue character, then why does she have to awaken the supernatural power to start the story?"
With this beginning, Ji Li put forward two hypotheses and reversely reasoned everything before. He was able to come up with an almost complete story line!
Assumption 1: The role of “doctor” does not exist;
Assumption 2: Xiao He is the source of everything, and all horrors are created by her.
With these two assumptions in mind, let’s review the entire story again.
In the first scene, my mother, Achun, turned into a ghost for no reason.
In this story, Xiaohe is an ignorant girl, Kunsheng is a tired husband, and the protagonist is Achun, who is seriously ill.
This mother suffers from a strange disease, sometimes going crazy and sometimes fainting. To the little girl Xiaohe, this disease causes an abrupt, abstract, and distorted sense of déjà vu.
In Xiaohe's young mind, she could not understand why her mother suddenly became violent, indifferent and terrifying.
She needs a reason.
Therefore, Xiaohe used very little knowledge to create the character of a "scary doctor".
The terrifying doctor gave the mother a tube of unknown medicine, turning her into a murderous monster.
Is this plot more logical?
Therefore, in the first act of the story, Ji Li had no way of seeing who Achun killed.
Because Xiaohe, the person who created the plot, is being killed by Achun.
In the second act, my father Kunsheng is parasitic in his thoughts.
Xiaohe died on his own after his mother turned into a ghost.
Although Xiao He died and became a ghost, she had been deliberately avoiding this matter.
She always maintains an "ostrich" mentality when it comes to death, ghosts, supernatural things... and everything else.
Therefore, this second act of the story was actually created by Xiaohe from the perspective of a "ghost".
For Kunsheng, his wife turned into a ghost and killed his daughter. As the head of the family, what should he do?
Ah Chun became a ghost, but in Kunsheng's consciousness, there was no concept of "ghost".
He couldn't let outsiders know that Achun turned into a ghost and Xiaohe was killed, so this man, overwhelmed by fear, needed to deal with his daughter's body himself.
The meat chopper has appeared since then.
But this was completely incomprehensible to Xiao He, who "even though he died, he pretended not to know".
In her mind, she could only think that her mother was mutated and her father was twisted.
But the father's distortion also needs a reason.
Therefore, the "doctor" appeared again, its head parasitized on Kun Sheng's neck, and its thoughts made the "amiable" father in Xiao He's heart become cruel and terrifying.
Ji Li also has evidence for this.
Because in the second act of the story, Xiaohe did not participate.
The reason is that she is a ghost at the moment.
This is the complete story line.
If Ji Li's guess is not wrong, then he can actually roughly guess some of the story in the third act...
Perhaps, the third act is explaining why Xiaohe became the root cause.
Even, maybe this forbidden area is a closed-loop logic.
Because Xiaohe was killed by Achun and became a ghost, she created Achun's ghost transformation.
It was precisely because of Achun's transformation into a ghost that Xiao He became a ghost, and the cycle continued...
This is the full picture of this supernatural event that Ji Li guessed.
However, there is a lingering question that is the flaw in this conjecture - why did Xiaoqian experience a "doctor" killing someone alone?
In Ji Li's vision, the ghost doctor was simply Xiaohe's imagination, and it should not have the ability to kill alone.
This seems like a small episode, but it may also become a foreshadowing that subverts everything.
Ji Li couldn't think of the reason, but he had no time to observe and analyze anymore.
Hou Guisheng tried his best to send him a serious warning. Maybe if he delayed it any longer, he would completely miss the opportunity to destroy this forbidden area.
And there was Gu Xingjian, whom he could never let go of.
He could sense that Gu Xingjian was targeting him, but it had been more than three hours since he entered the Red Forbidden City. What role did Gu Xingjian play?
Unfortunately, it is difficult to have a God's perspective when you are in the middle of the situation.
Ji Li would never find out that the owner of the Red Forbidden City was Gu Xingjian, let alone realize the other party's purpose.
Xiaohe is a ghost.
Whether she thinks so or not, it's the truth, so she won't be killed, and that's not the way to destroy a forbidden place.
Ji Li made a desperate move and was forced to use evil spirits to force the third act to find the correct method.
When the blood-stained dress fell to the ground, a new change appeared in the world in Xiaoqian's eyes.
Right in front, Ji Li, with her long hair blowing, began to become vivid in her eyes.
Before entering the forbidden area, he was swallowed by the black energy in the first and second scenes, and transformed into a blurry black silhouette.
This is still a sign of mortality, but at least it means that the crisis is reduced a bit compared to before.
"This is the right step!"
Xiao Qian quickly opened her mouth to confirm. She looked at Bai Huaiguang again and said urgently:
"Ji, the opportunity has come. Our disaster level is decreasing. Maybe finding the third act will be the key to survival!"
But what she responded to was heavier breathing and sometimes bleeding eyes.
Ji Li overused his brain.
Since the Ghost Child mission, his physical condition has gotten worse and worse, and he often feels inadequate.
After Yu Guo's death, his spirit collapsed, and evil spirits took advantage of the situation and split his personality again.
The emergence of second and third personalities is not actually a real mental illness, it is a special physical condition.
After the mission of becoming an immortal, he has truly become a split body that can explode at any time.
Therefore, after arriving in the forbidden area, Ji Li had actually paid attention to it. He tried not to let himself have too much emotional fluctuations, and even thinking about the problem did not exhaust his energy.
But in order to "kill" Xiao He, he was forced to borrow evil spirits. Coupled with the long-term mental and physical exhaustion, he was a little unable to control it.
Now, Ji Li only felt that his mind was beginning to become confused. The string that had been tight had been stretched to its fullest and might break at any time.
He got the key to open the third act and the final chapter of the forbidden land, but he also fell into a disaster that was a precursor to madness.
With the red light of the evil spirit in his eyes, Ji Li's perspective began to intersect with red and white when it was aimed at Bai Huaiguang and Xiao Qian.
Their figures standing side by side began to become confused.
Sometimes they were Yu Guo and Ah Lian, Li Yi and Luo Xian, Gu Xingjian and Miao Jiang... and finally they became Tong En and Ah Jing.
At this time, Bai Huaiguang looked beyond Ji Li and towards the dress left by Xiao He and the bunch of keys on the dress.
The number of keys in the bunch is four.
Room No. 1 is a refuge for store employees when they first arrive;
Room No. 2 is the bedroom of the female ghost Achun, the location of the first scene;
Room No. 3 is the slaughterhouse of Kunsheng Chopped Meat, the location of the second act;
Then the last key should correspond to "Room 4", which is the location of the third act.
"Damn it, Ji Li is going crazy, we have to find the third act quickly!"
Bai Huaiguang screamed inwardly, his body was already trembling slightly under Ji Li's glance. The evil spirit was an irresistible force for him.
At the same time, a colorful light appeared out of thin air, illuminating the entire corridor and blocking Ji Li's gaze.
Bai Huaiguang seized the opportunity, pulled the silent Xiao Qian, rushed towards Ji Li, selectively avoided it, picked up the bunch of keys on the ground, and ran away.
Luo Xian sighed deeply in his mind and said in a complicated tone:
"Ji Li is crazy. I can use part of the sinful power on the evil spirit to help you delay it for a while..."
Her sigh may not be regretful, but maybe just helpless.
Because Ji Li was really on the opposite side of the store clerk as she imagined.
But Xiao Qian was still quiet. She always felt that there was something strange about Ji Li going crazy this time...
