Chapter 984 Sadness in Eyes

If you don't make sure that the doors and windows are closed tightly, the confetti flying in front of everyone will make people feel like they are in the wind and snow of the outside world.

The cries became louder and louder, but after a few seconds of adaptation, they were not as harsh as before.

Moreover, the clerks could clearly feel that as more and more paper scraps floated, the crying sound changed from the previous surround sound to approaching from behind.

When Song Yitong turned around with a shocked expression, she saw a gray shadow walking in the white confetti package.

It was sobbing as it moved closer, its cries full of emotion, full of regret and annoyance.

Yitong tilted her head, with confusion in her eyes. It was obviously not a human, but she truly felt the unique characteristic of a living person - emotion.

"Look!"

Unlike Song Yitong, Mo Lan's eyes were always fixed in front of him.

Ahead, the ancient bronze coffin had been put away at some point, leaving only a tall, long-haired figure standing in front of the door with a calm expression.

The white paper posted on his body has fallen off one after another, and with the blessing of the mutation, it has also turned into pieces of paper.

The red light that previously scattered from the white paper has been extinguished, and the black clothing has returned to its original color.

However, the red light did not disappear as it left the body, but condensed into a much darker human form, lying at its feet.

The ghost in red.

From the upper body to the detachment of this ghost, Moran and others were puzzled, especially why the ghost's red light suddenly dimmed, as if it was suppressed by the supernatural.

Ji Li used the opera sword as a staff and stood there with an indifferent expression, staring at the slowly crying ghost behind everyone.

Due to the previous noise, Song Yitong and others did not hear what he said clearly. This time he stepped aside, stood on the edge, and said softly:

“Actually, I have always been interested in libraries because their first rule is that there are ghosts.

When I first came here, I saw the red ghost possessing Song Yitong and rescued him.

Under the witness of the two of us, we witnessed the formation of the red network and the purpose of the red ghost, and naturally regarded it as a guide.

At that time, I believed that the 'ghost' mentioned in the code was the red-clothed ghost.

However, most of its attributes are that of a guide, not a killer. "

As Ji Li's light-hearted narration attracted the attention of Song Yitong, Mo Lan and others.

But all of their eyes were staring straight ahead.

The crying ghost walking behind the paper scraps was slowly walking towards the red ghost lying on the ground.

This clearly represents the strength of one side and the weakness of the other.

As the distance approached, the cries gradually became less harsh and filled with a sad color.

The next part of Ji Li's narration starts from the second time.

"I understand the difficulty of the library. It is the only place where a special path does not yet know how to open it.

Before tonight's operation begins, my plan is to use an illegal student as a sacrifice to give the red ghost the identity of going out.

In this way, it can lead us into the Ghost Academy. "

This is what happened before. Ji Li sold all the students to their counselors on the phone and gave the red ghost one of four options to possess them.

But after achieving this, the development of the situation far exceeded Ji and Song's expectations.

The ghost in red had no intention of leaving the library. Instead, he threatened the clerks and forced them to find books.

While looking for books, Ji Li arrived at the second floor, where he realized something was wrong.

Similarly, the ghost in red no longer pretends because the end of the road has been reached and it is only targeting Ji Li.

In fact, from this moment on, Ji Li discovered some signs.

There should be no doubt that the crying ghost is on the third floor.

When the dead end is reached, the actions of Song Yitong and others should be what the red ghost needs to stop the most.

Because the Crying Ghost has the ability to end its killing spree.

In this case, why is it staring at me?

Ji Li thinks there are two reasons: one is his status as vice-dean; the other is that the ghost in red is emboldened.

The first one actually requires no reasoning and is easy to explain.

But the second one is different.

The red-clothed ghost stared at Ji Li, but turned a blind eye to the actions on the third floor that could directly threaten it.

This clearly shows that it believes that Song Yitong cannot find the crying ghost at all.

Why……

A library, two ghosts, how could they live in peace with each other for so long.

After Ji Li was pulled downstairs, he began to think about this issue.

Logically speaking, if two ghosts in the same position were separate individuals, this would never happen.

They will inevitably compete, unless they are restricted by rules and each governs an area.

But judging from the activity traces of the red ghost, it is unobstructed on the first and second floors, and the red net can also be used on the third floor.

This shows that the red ghost's ability can cover the entire library.

With its supernatural influence on such a scale, why does the Crying Ghost still exist...

There is only one possibility: the two ghosts are not relatively independent.

Combined with the characteristics of the Crying Ghost, it appears every half hour and exists for three minutes at a time.

Regular actions symbolize rules.

It is a rule that the red ghost rules the library, and it is also a rule that the crying ghost appears indirectly on the third floor.

These two rules are not in conflict and are obviously necessarily related.

What kind of answer can explain such strange rules?

Ji Li's first words when he came to the third floor gave the truth of the matter:

"The red clothes and the crying ones are actually the same ghost."

Of course you can't find the crying ghost on the third floor, because it is one with the red ghost.

However, the red ghost is its true form, and the crying ghost on the third floor is just a supernatural pattern.

So in Ji Li's guess, the crying ghost is the guide, and the red ghost never goes to the third floor.

When these two clues are combined, a major conjecture is obtained.

As long as you take the red ghost to the third floor when the cry sounds, you can activate its "guiding attribute".

Then Ji Li's plan is to use himself as a carrier to attract the red-clothed ghost to possess him, and then go to the third floor.

Judging from the experience of the attack, the ghost in red is particularly greedy for Ji Li's identity, and the white paper under the red light is the medium for its attack.

So Ji Li took the initiative to stick the white paper around himself to lure the red-clothed ghost to him.

Naturally, the ghost in red couldn't refuse.

But if it dares to get up, it will be completely unable to get out, because there are gray souls and evil spirits in Ji Li's body, which have an absolutely suppressive effect on the possession ability, even annihilating it.

Therefore, Ji Li's difficulty in climbing the stairs was not due to the power of the ghost in red.

Instead, he was trying his best to use the power of evil spirits to control the gray soul from swallowing the red ghost alive.

Fortunately, the ghost in red needs to use white paper as a medium to steal the identity. This method is not possession in the strict sense.

Otherwise, the moment it is on the upper body, it will be swallowed up by the gray soul.

As for the sense of oppression felt by Mo Lan, Song Yitong and others, it also comes from gray souls.

It's just that the red light bloomed, causing them to think that it was someone in red who was causing trouble.

When Ji Li's narration ended, the gray shadows merged with the female ghost in red among the flying scraps of paper.

In the shocked eyes of the clerks, the once dazzling red light was completely extinguished, replaced by pieces of paper.

The red net that suppressed the head completely withered and turned into ashes, blown away by the wind without a trace.

What once again shrouded the library was the special path filled with shredded paper and the unique sadness in this space.

The gray shadow officially returned to guide the way, standing in front of everyone with a lonely temperament, letting out a long sigh.

Even because the atmosphere here was too gloomy, even the people who found the special path couldn't feel any joy in their hearts, and were completely disturbed by their emotions.

The matter in the library is over, and the next step is to advance to the Ghost Academy.

As for the gray shadow that has become the identity of the guide, it has already occupied Ping Wenbin's identity. This will no longer be a surprise.

Only Ji Li looked at the guide and gradually overlapped its figure with a "friend".

After a while, there was an inexplicable sadness and desperation in his eyes.
