The first volume of the curse begins Chapter 006 Despair
Zhang Fengyu was desperate. He couldn't figure out any meaning from the clues given in the movie. He just regarded everything in front of him as non-existent, but it was still happening in reality. The ghost was getting closer and closer to them, and he really couldn't figure out which one was the ghost.
The ghost had already come to the seat next to Zhao Jinglan. In a few seconds, Zhao Jinglan would follow Hong Bo and the others. But at this critical moment, Zhao Jinglan suddenly spoke up and said to Zhang Fengyu: "I may have known which one is the real ghost!"
"Really? You already know which one is the real ghost?"
Zhang Fengyu was very excited when he heard that Zhao Jinglan had come up with a solution. After all, as long as one person could guess correctly, the rest of them could be rescued. Zhao Jinglan paused, and then continued, "I think the real ghost is hiding among us!"
Wang Li's face became obviously uglier after hearing what Zhao Jinglan said. But this scene was once again ignored by the two. Zhang Fengyu looked at Zhao Jinglan and didn't quite understand what he meant, and even felt that it was a little unreliable. But then he thought, there are even ghosts in this world, what could be more unreliable than this?
Seeing the ghost coming, Zhang Fengyu hurriedly shouted: "If you really know, tell me how you found it quickly. We don't have time to delay. We need to confirm the truth of your guess as soon as possible."
Hearing Zhang Fengyu's reminder, Zhao Jinglan turned around and looked. He was immediately frightened and broke into a cold sweat. He stopped keeping the secret and explained hastily: "From the plot of the movie you mentioned, there is no clue about finding the ghost. That idealistic sentence is just a way they thought of when they wanted to leave their seats. It is not a clue to find the ghost at all.
Looking at Hong Bo's death, he was killed because he was too frightened and lost his mind and chose to run away. But in this process, we didn't see any ghosts killing him at all!
Instead, he killed himself with his own hands, which can be said to be suicide. Suicide is something that cannot be done according to the hint, but Hong Bo did it, so doesn’t that break the rule?
And if you look at Hong Bo over there, does he have any signs of injury? Can we be sure that he is dead?
You have to know that the audience in the cinema is not watching the same movie as us. They are watching Final Destination, while we are watching Wanted. But we always thought that we were watching the same movie as them. "
Zhang Fengyu suddenly felt that what Zhao Jinglan said made sense. He seemed to understand what Zhao Jinglan wanted to express. He asked uncertainly, "Are you saying that everything we saw and thought from the beginning were actually illusions? But we took these illusions as reality?"
"Yes, that's what I mean!"
Zhao Jinglan nodded and emphasized, "We may have fallen into our own illusions from the very beginning."
Zhang Fengyu frowned tightly, then shook his head and objected, "No! This is definitely not just an illusion. I have long stopped taking it seriously, but it keeps happening. If Hong Bo committed suicide because he was trapped in an illusion, do you think a person can be strong enough to break his own legs? This is obviously not something that human power can do!"
"Feng Yu, you misunderstood. I just said that Hong Bo committed suicide, and this happened right in front of us, but the prompt said that he couldn't commit suicide. We can only think that he couldn't kill himself. After all, we didn't dare to try. But Hong Bo did it, you can't deny it!"
Zhang Fengyu nodded silently. It was just as Zhao Jinglan said. Hongbo did seem to have committed suicide. But the rules said they could not commit suicide. But Hongbo's behavior was obviously contrary to this rule. Thinking of this, Zhang Fengyu seemed to have grasped something.
"Do you mean to say that Hong Bo is actually..."
"That's what I think. As humans, we can't commit suicide, but if Hongbo is not a human, then he is no longer within our rights. Moreover, if we have fallen into our own illusions from the beginning, then in our subconscious, we would not think that Hongbo is not a human at all, and his death is most likely a trap to deceive us. After all, the hint does not say that ghosts cannot deceive us, nor does it say that ghosts cannot disguise themselves as us."
"Although this possibility is very high, there is one thing that doesn't make sense. When the prince general was identifying Hong Bo, he died. If it is as you said, then the prince general made the right choice and should leave here with us."
Zhao Jinglan seemed a little impatient this time. He explained, "We saw that Prince General was dead, but we didn't know whether Prince General was dead or not. After all, we didn't see Prince General being killed by the ghost at all. We subconsciously thought that Prince General guessed wrong, so he died. But what if Prince General guessed right, but the game still has to go on?
Although we can leave if we guess correctly, it cannot be denied that the sentence in the hint is obviously changed according to the change of the previous sentence, which is ambiguous.
First, the prompt clearly states that each person has only one chance to choose a ghost, but this opportunity is not clearly stated. Do we have to use it, or is it okay even if we don’t use it? As long as we wait for others to find the ghost, we can sit back and enjoy the results and leave together.
But is there really such a good thing? If it does, then this horror game is unfair to us players, which is not in line with the fairness of the game.
If we must use it, then once the ghost is found, the rest of the people can return, which can be understood as everyone must go through a choice before the rest of the people can return. Then the death of Prince Jiang is likely to be a trap, using the text trap to deceive us. Prince Jiang may not be dead at all, but let us mistakenly think that he made the wrong choice and died, so that we jump into the trap.
If the deaths of Wang Zijiang and Hong Bo were traps, then the death of Li Jian proved to us that ghosts are invincible. Ghosts have the ability to kill us instantly. The reason why they did not rush over to kill us all at once is that this game has rules.
Even a ghost can't break the rules!"
When Zhao Jinglan finished speaking, the prince beside him had already been replaced by a rotten corpse. Then another rotten corpse appeared on the big screen, and it was obvious that this rotten corpse's target was Zhang Fengyu.
There was no time for them to hesitate . Although Zhao Jinglan's argument was very logical, if you think carefully, there were still many loopholes in it. Although there were some of his reasoning, most of them were just his wild speculations.
Zhao Jinglan is an out-and-out detective fan. When he is in the dormitory, he always talks to a few people about some classic crime-solving plots, but Zhang Fengyu is the only one who pays attention to him. Therefore, Zhao Jinglan has a good relationship with Zhang Fengyu. He does not look down on Zhang Fengyu in his heart because of his family background like the others do.
His dream was to write a classic suspense novel, but he never dreamed that his hobby would become the biggest straw that saved his life.
"If I make the wrong choice, it would prove that I really don't have the talent to be a detective! Maybe I should call my family!"
Perhaps Zhao Jinglan had sensed something, and tears began to flow uncontrollably.
