Volume 2: Ghost Invitation Chapter 0030 Received a Bottle
Lao Gao said this very seriously, and it was obvious that he was not joking at all. Xiao Mo looked at him in fear, and then asked in confusion:
"Why can't I leave once I join? What do you mean by your head and body being separated?"
To Xiao Mo's surprise, Lao Gao's expression suddenly relaxed, and then he smiled and said:
"This is also for your safety. If you act alone, the danger will definitely be much higher. If you are chased by pursuers, it will be difficult to survive."
"Oh, I see."
Xiao Mo replied insincerely, and he had the thought of leaving in his heart. He felt very uneasy here.
When Lao Gao was talking to him, his eyes were always flickering, and his pupils were sometimes big and sometimes small, and even his expression seemed very awkward. Xiao Mo studied psychology, and although he stopped studying after a few days, he was still very clear about how people behave when they lie.
Lao Gao is clearly lying!
I just don't know if everything he said is false, or only part of it is false.
Xiao Mo suddenly felt that he was quite stupid. Thinking carefully about the past few days, he had been led by the mysterious man. He went wherever the mysterious man told him to go and did whatever he was told to do. He was really obedient!
And how much does he know about that mysterious man?
He knew nothing! He was like a simple-minded fool, being fooled around by the damn mysterious man.
The mysterious man knew the truth about all the mysteries that troubled him, but he refused to tell him and lured him here instead, saying that someone here would help him solve all the mysteries.
What's funny is that he actually believed it and traveled thousands of miles to this damn place, and then listened to a person with a suspicious face lying to him non-stop!
“My brain is fucking screwed!!!”
Xiao Mo roared in his heart, secretly cursing his erratic behavior in recent days. As for Lao Gao, he suddenly stood up and walked slowly to the side . There was a large square desk, and there was a small drawer under the desk. Lao Gao pulled it out and took out a notebook wrapped in black paper.
This should be the notebook that Lao Gao mentioned to him before. Just as Xiao Mo thought, Lao Gao motioned him to come over and handed him the notebook.
Xiao Mo took the notebook and subconsciously flipped through it. He found that the paper was very wrinkled and the handwriting on it was mostly blurred. It seemed that the notebook had been soaked in water.
Xiao Mo flipped through a few more pages, and did the same with the papers behind. He closed his notebook again and looked up at Lao Gao:
"How did you get this notebook?"
"It was brought out from the forbidden area by a senior. When we found him, he was already dead, but he was still clutching this notebook tightly in his hand."
At this point, Lao Gao sighed and said:
"At that time, no one knew the function of the key, so it was assumed that the notes were obtained by the senior outside. He was the first person we knew to escape from the forbidden area. And you were the first person to escape from the forbidden area alive, and you opened the first door and brought out a mirror from that door.
Although we don't know the purpose of the mirror at the moment, it will undoubtedly be a powerful weapon against ghosts, and it is definitely not a mirror that will just track you. So I hope you can participate in tomorrow's operation and go to Xu'an City with us. I think you should be very interested in the function of the mirror."
Hearing this, Xiao Mo knew that Lao Gao wanted to persuade him to go to Xu'an City and help them stop supernatural events. In fact, even if he didn't have the idea of leaving here, he wouldn't stop supernatural events with Lao Gao and the others. He couldn't even avoid that kind of thing, so how could he take the initiative to provoke it, not to mention that he already wanted to run away.
If Lao Gao and the others gave him a feeling of friendliness and willingness to help him, he might stay and try to escape with them. But now, not to mention those horrible ghosts, Lao Gao alone gave him a strong sense of danger. It was hard to say what really happened in those two years, and he would not be a thorn in the eyes of Lao Gao and the others.
Although Xiao Mo thought so, he still agreed readily:
"I'll consider it, but you should know that I just went through a curse and am weak in every way."
"Don't worry, we will give you some time to rest. After all, there is still time to verify the function of the mirror, so there is no need to rush..."
After finishing the conversation, Lao Gao selected a room for Xiao Mo on the third floor, and then he hurried downstairs.
Xiao Mo closed the door, took a long breath, and fell on the sofa. It was hard to tell whether Lao Gao's words were true or false. He couldn't believe them completely, but he couldn't completely disbelieve them either. After all, he was really in bad luck now, and he had seen the existence of those ghosts with his own eyes.
His real purpose in coming here was to find a way to get rid of the mirror and return to normal life. But for now, it was obviously not as he wished. Not only that, he had to stop supernatural events and take the initiative to contact those ghosts.
"No, I have to leave here. Dealing with those ghosts will definitely lead to death! Although the mirror is also very strange, at least there is no danger at present. As long as I am more careful in the future, there shouldn't be any problem. If it wants to follow me, let it follow me. Once I get used to it, I won't feel awkward."
The more Xiao Mo thought about it, the more anxious he became to leave, but he didn't dare to act rashly, because Lao Gao and the others would not let him go. They hoped to use the mirror to fight the ghosts.
In the end, he had brought all this upon himself. If he hadn't listened to the mysterious man and come here, if he hadn't mentioned to Lao Gao that the mirror seemed to absorb ghosts, he wouldn't have fallen into such an embarrassing situation. He was in such a state now that he couldn't stay even if he wanted to, and couldn't leave even if he wanted to.
Now he can only hope that Lao Gao and others will go to Xuan City tomorrow, so that he can take the opportunity to slip away. He is afraid that Lao Gao will not trust him and will leave someone to look after him.
"let it go."
Xiao Mo smiled bitterly, then sat up from the sofa, held the notebook in his hand and began to read it.
There were only sixteen pages in total of the notebook. The first page recorded the types of ghosts. Just as Lao Gao had told him before, ghosts were divided into three types: ghosts, evil ghosts, and evil ghosts, and corresponding to them were their respective abilities.
Ghosts, usually, cannot be seen with the naked eye. They are good at making rules, good at disguising and hiding, and can disguise themselves as anyone.
Evil spirits can be seen with the naked eye. They can create hallucinations, teleport, and even modify memories.
Evil spirits, usually invisible, are capable of casting small-scale curses that can be cast on anything.
The above description is not absolute and there may be exceptions.
Xiao Mo turned to the second page, which recorded a type of people. The owner of the notebook called them escapees.
Escapees are people who have escaped from a supernatural event, so their subsequent lives will be different. Ghosts will keep chasing them until they die.
The ghosts chasing them are not the same. They can be ghosts, evil spirits, or even evil spirits. They will chase them every three days. At that time, the escapees will be caught in strange events. Only by finding the right method can they escape.
If one wants to avoid passive pursuit, the escapee can also take the initiative to look for supernatural events and enter them to try to solve them. This can delay the pursuer's pursuit and reduce the probability of death.
If you want to completely end this fate, you need to enter the forbidden area and close the second door in the forbidden area. The prerequisite is that you need to collect enough keys...
"If this notebook is not forged, it seems that Lao Gao did not lie about this issue."
Seeing now, the contents that Lao Gao had told him before were basically what was in this notebook. If the notebook was not forged, and Lao Gao had deceived him, then this deception could only be the reason why he entered the forbidden area alone.
Xiao Mo shook his head and continued to read. However, the last few pages were severely damaged and the handwriting was almost indistinguishable. Only some short sentences could be read. Through these fragments, Xiao Mo could roughly tell that these pages recorded the owner of the notebook's analysis and speculation on the origin of these ghosts and why they appeared in the world.
However, the content of the analysis can no longer be read, and only a few speculations can be seen.
The world is divided into yin and yang, and ghosts belong to the underworld.
There is a law of balance in the world. Although people cannot kill ghosts, rules can kill them.
Not all ghosts are cruel killers, some are also friendly.
Seeing this, Xiao Mo immediately thought of the residents in the haunted building. They were the best proof of their friendliness.
The handwriting at the back was becoming blurred and difficult to discern. It looked like there were several more speculations, but it was impossible to tell what they were. Just as Xiao Mo was about to turn the page, his cell phone, which had been silent for a long time, suddenly rang.
Xiao Mo originally thought it was a text message from a mysterious person, but when he looked at it, he unexpectedly discovered that he received a WeChat message.
Xiao Mo didn't remember that he had logged into WeChat, but he clicked on it out of curiosity, and the screen showed that he had picked up a drifting bottle.
