Volume 2: Ghost Invitation Chapter 0028 Understanding
After Xiao Mo and the middle-aged man went upstairs, Li Shuai and the other two put down their work for the time being and got up and went back to their respective rooms.
The middle-aged man's room was located on the third floor. It was a spacious room, but there was no decoration inside. He motioned Xiao Mo to sit on the sofa, and he also moved a chair and sat down.
After sitting down, the middle-aged man asked Xiao Mo:
"Look at me carefully, do you really not remember who I am?"
Xiao Mo shook his head in confusion and replied slowly:
"I'm sorry, as I said before, I only remember you asking me about the haunted incident in the dormitory, but I have no recollection of anything else."
"Alas, that was two years ago."
The middle-aged man sighed lightly and continued to ask:
"Do you still remember how you escaped from that place? Even if you only have a little memory of it."
“No impression at all.”
Xiao Mo replied helplessly, and then he added:
"Let me put it this way. In my memory, you and that person were in the coffee shop asking me about the ghost in the dormitory one second ago, but the next second I inexplicably appeared in Qingyuan City..."
Xiao Mo hoped to get an answer from the middle-aged man, so he described his recent experiences in great detail, including his appearance in the remote Qingyuan City, the mirror that followed him like a shadow, and even his feelings at the time.
While listening, the middle-aged man's brows were furrowed and his face did not look very good.
"You said there was a mirror that was following you like a shadow?"
The middle-aged man asked doubtfully, and Xiao Mo nodded and replied:
"That's right. It seems to have appeared with me in Qingyuan City, and has been following me like a ghost since then."
"You came here, and the mirror followed you?"
"Yes. It's right behind you!"
Hearing this, the middle-aged man immediately turned around and saw a mirror almost as tall as a person standing there quietly.
The middle-aged man looked strange, and then he stood up and walked over. When he came to the mirror, he looked it up and down, then he reached out and touched the cracks on the mirror, and then knocked it hard. After doing this, he turned around and said to Xiao Mo:
"I never knew you had a mirror."
At this point, the middle-aged man paused, and his tone became more serious:
"This mirror is probably something you brought out from that place!"
"What exactly is the place you are talking about ? Was I the only one who went there at that time? And why did I go there?"
The middle-aged man did not answer Xiao Mo directly, but instead asked a different question:
"Besides the fact that this mirror always follows you, is there anything else strange about it?"
"Yes, there is a ghost door in the mirror!"
Xiao Mo recounted his experiences in K City, such as the haunted building, Class B of the second year, the evil ghost that turned into a flagpole, etc. This time he described it in great detail, but excluded the existence of the mysterious man and said that he went to K City and came here after the incident as a subconscious behavior.
The middle-aged man listened quietly until Xiao Mo finished his narration for a long time, then he asked excitedly:
"You, are you saying that this mirror sucked the evil ghost in?"
"I'm not sure, it's just a possibility. And even if the mirror can really absorb evil spirits, it will be damaged to a certain extent. The cracks on the mirror are the best proof of this."
The middle-aged man seemed not to have heard Xiao Mo's words. He smiled as if he had found a treasure and kept sighing:
"I never thought there would be something in the world that could fight against ghosts. With it, our chances of survival will increase."
Xiao Mo completely lost his patience. He didn't want to listen to this middle-aged man's monologue anymore. He asked in a sharp voice:
"I want to know what is going on now!"
The middle-aged man retracted his previous joy, nodded at Xiao Mo, and sat back in his chair.
"We belong to a special group, or we can say a group of unfortunate people. We have all experienced supernatural events, perhaps curses, revenge from ghosts, or something else. In short, we have survived the supernatural events.
And precisely because we survived, our lives became precarious.”
Xiao Mo still didn't quite understand, he asked with a serious expression:
“Why does surviving a supernatural event make your life so precarious?”
"Because those things don't want people to know about their existence. Anyone who knows about them is their target. However, this kind of pursuit is not specific. To put it simply, the thing that is chasing you is not fixed.
Maybe it's a ghost, maybe it's a ghost, or maybe it's a curse created by an evil spirit, anyway, we can't avoid them."
This time Xiao Mo did not interrupt, and the middle-aged man continued:
"Once the pursuers come, you will be caught up in strange events. Of course, there are others who will be as unlucky as you. They may be people around you, or some other unlucky people.
However, the pursuers will not kill people directly after arriving, but will torture them first before taking action.
You gave two guesses about this reason at the time:
First, it is said that the fear that humans feel when facing the unknown is nourishment for these ghosts, and they happily enjoy this atmosphere.
Secondly, it is said that there is a balance rule in the world, and even ghosts like these cannot transcend the rule, so they temporarily stop killing.
We will not discuss the truth of these two speculations for now. In short, after encountering them, they will not rush to kill us. But it does not mean that we will live comfortably. We need to find a way to escape, otherwise we will be killed mercilessly. "
Hearing that there was a way to escape, Xiao Mo felt relieved and asked:
"Is there any way to escape?"
The middle-aged man was so dry-mouthed that he didn't want to finish speaking at once, but when Xiao Mo asked, he continued:
“The method of escape is not set in stone, it depends on what kind of evil being is pursuing you.
Generally speaking, evil spirits are people who died unjustly. Although they are extremely evil, they still have some intelligence. If they are the ones chasing you, you just need to help them calm down their anger and eliminate the people who harmed them when they were alive.
Ghosts are a collection of children's souls. Although they have no consciousness, they are not focused on killing. If the pursuer is a ghost, they usually make a game rule and let the pursuer play the game with them. As long as they win, they will win.
As for evil spirits, they have little to do with humans. They are more like creatures that only know how to kill, and are much more powerful than ghosts and evil spirits. Not only can they create curses to kill people, but they can also kill people themselves. The objects of the curse are not just people or objects, but can be anything in this world.
Like a sentence, a videotape, or even a dream...
When facing evil spirits, the only way is to avoid contact with cursed objects. This is the safest way. If you are really cursed, perhaps you can only find a way to destroy the cursed object. "
Xiao Mo knew how terrible the curse was, just like the cursed Class B in the sophomore year. He just didn't know if the curse would end immediately if a fire was set there at that time.
Xiao Mo didn't say anything, quietly absorbing the bad information. His mood was extremely bad. If this man was not lying, then his situation was indeed precarious.
Seeing that Xiao Mo's face was too ugly, the middle-aged man also pretended to smile and encouraged:
"Things are not as bad as you think. In fact, we have found a way to completely eliminate all of this, which is also the motivation for us to persevere."
After hearing this, Xiao Mo's heart moved, and he looked up and asked:
"any solution?"
