Chapter 497: Taking the Wrong Road and Trusting the Wrong Person

"Did you hear that?

The companion who came with you is dead.

You will die in a few minutes, so cherish this last chance to choose."

"I...do I still have a chance..."

"As long as you are willing to make a deal with me, I can take you out of this wax museum now."

The bewitching words are the work of the ghost in the mind.

Shrouded in a foggy world, Su Qin'er really has no power to choose.

But until now, she is still not sure whether this thought is an illusion when death is approaching, or a unique thing that really exists.

"What are you?"

"I am the No. 1 prisoner of the Tangren Wax Museum, and also the ghost you created with all your heart!"

...

The fight in the Tangren Wax Museum has come to an end.

In fact, it can't be called a fight, because whether it is Su Qin'er or Fan Ru, they are just trapped beasts lost in it.

Ji Li waited for a long time outside this building.

He waited until his body was completely wet, until the hazy sun set in the west, and until the rain in the sky became heavier.

In the blurry world, the vision is far worse than that in the early morning.

In the same alley, Ji Li hid under a shed to avoid the heavy rain.

Two minutes ago, Fang Shenyan called him and reported Fan Ru's matter.

Once Fan Ru died, Su Qin'er would not be able to survive.

Then the thing Ji Li was waiting for would soon take a turn for the better.

"Although the people in our branch are almost dead, things are still going well.

As long as we follow this step, we should be able to make a major breakthrough.

But your matter seems to be getting worse and worse..."

While Fan Ru was struggling with the line between life and death and Su Qin'er was fighting against that thought, Ji Li was not doing nothing.

The main line of this mission is clear: the matter of the Ring Organization taking Ren Jiayun away.

But in addition to this main line, there are three extremely strange branches, and each branch is particularly obscure, as if symbolizing something.

Black Eucalyptus.

This mother has been under the surveillance of Zhan Xun and Yu Guo so far.

It was already the afternoon of November 19th, and she had been staying in her villa without making any moves.

This branch line was obviously the most important, but it was so calm that it was unbelievable.

Su Qiner.

From the Moon Platform, she became the first person to see a ghost, and conveyed the information about the ghost child to everyone;

Then on the eve of the mission, she suddenly had a mental breakdown and tore off her own face;

Finally, Ji Li confirmed that there were some supernatural things in her body, but it was impossible to verify whether it was a ghost.

Ji Li.

The third branch line was Ji Li himself.

Starting from the first person who died, he actually had the ability to see the death of the clerk in the same team.

From Jiang Jiang, to Yu Guo.

But just now, this law changed.

He had no sense of Fan Ru's death.

But this woman was obviously dead.

The ability to see death was mysterious, and he still couldn't figure it out until now. Why did he have this ability, and why did he make a mistake on Fan Ru.

The weirdest thing was the Ma Huaiyu incident mentioned by the third personality just now.

Ji Li, could not remember Ma Huaiyu no matter what.

But Yu Guo, Zhan Xun, the third personality, and even the second personality all remembered Ma Huaiyu completely.

"Ma Huaiyu disappeared from your memory after the incident at Ge Hong's house and before Yu Guo was attacked.

During this period, you talked to Yu Guo and guided him to escape the dead end.

When you turned around, Ma Huaiyu disappeared, and you asked Zhan Xun to go to Heian'an's house to monitor him."

When the third personality said this, he suddenly paused, because he was surprised to find a contradiction when he looked back now.

If Ji Li had completely forgotten Ma Huaiyu, he still remembered it.

But when Ma Huaiyu disappeared out of thin air, why didn't he feel any disobedience?

"Maybe this guy was unlucky and was swallowed by a ghost."

The second personality rarely interrupted during the mission, and his wisdom was not enough to help Ji Li analyze, so he could only say some meaningless words.

Ji Li moved closer to the corner of the wall, avoiding the increasingly heavy rain, frowning and saying:

"I should be in a similar situation to Su Qin'er, disturbed by something.

But it must not be in my body, otherwise the gray soul would not be indifferent."

The third personality sighed and said with some fear:

"This power is far more terrifying than those ghosts who kill people and see blood.

I am not even sure whether everything we are experiencing now has been deleted or modified."

This sentence made Ji Li silent. He looked at the gray sky and didn't know what to say.

But at this moment, he suddenly paused, and then turned his head to the left.

There, is the end of this alley.

He had set foot there before, but gave up after Yu Guo mentioned the three words Ma Huaiyu.

It was a gray and dirty wall. Previously, because of the blurring of rain, he mistakenly thought that someone passed by.

But now, he looked at it through the stronger wind and rain, and he felt a sense of telepathy.

Ji Li's expression turned grim, and he walked out from under the shed, moving closer and closer.

The closer he got, the stronger the strange feeling in his heart became, and the distance was shortening little by little.

After wiping the raindrops off his face, the original stains on the wall were washed away, and there was a very eye-catching thing on the bare wall.

It was a pool of waxy yellow mucus, and it was soon washed clean again by the rain.

Ji Li couldn't tell what it was, but he was very familiar with it.

This was left by a "person" who had been peeping at him at the Moon Platform.

The sand and gravel on the thin wall were eroded by the heavy rain, and the rain flowed down the wall in a winding way.

A small hole appeared at the bottom of the wall. Ji Li slowly squatted down and aimed his eyes at the hole.

In an instant, Ji Li's body shook and he stood up suddenly.

On the other side of the wall, there was actually an eye looking at him through the hole!

Ji Li's heart trembled, his hands suddenly climbed up the wall, and his feet stepped on the wall neatly.

Just then, a figure wearing a windbreaker and a sun hat was seen running away.

The man ran wildly, pressing his hat brim with his palm, obviously afraid of being exposed.

Ji Li stepped into a puddle, but did not chase, but looked down at the puddle.

In the still flowing puddle, there was a white card and a small piece of sticky liquid.

The identity of the man in the windbreaker could not be determined, but he was obviously a human, not a ghost.

This was the second time this mysterious man appeared, and the locations of both appearances were very subtle, announcing that he had a very deep connection with this mission.

Ji Li bent down and reached out to the puddle, and picked up the small card.

On the front of the card, there was a sentence in black that he did not understand:

"You took the wrong road, trusted the wrong person, and don't make the same mistake again."

"What does this mean? What did we do wrong?" The third personality was full of suspicion.

Ji Li frowned at this short paragraph and turned the card over again.

And on the back of the card, there were five more words:

"There is a ghost behind you!"

Ji Li's eyelids suddenly jumped when he saw these words, and he turned around subconsciously.

But the next second, he fell to the ground uncontrollably, and the rain from the sky hitting his face could no longer wake him up.

The card slipped out of his hand and returned to the puddle, spinning in circles on the water.

It was like drawing a clockwise circle.
