"Ji Li, let me take a break first?"
When the third personality said this, his tone was very cautious, accompanied by lingering fear.
Although this is not the first time to go to the underworld to escort ghosts, this time the experience is more "rich".
All the way down from hell, he saw what kind of torture Mu Nianmei went through.
If each of these items falls on you, I'm afraid it will be inhuman pain.
Ji Li's condition has improved slightly at this time. It seems that after dealing with Mu Nianmei, his mood is not as depressed as before.
But the overall situation is still very bad, at least that's how it feels.
After the evil spirit receded, a pair of red eyes were left behind, and the increasingly pale complexion was revealed from the hair scattered on both sides, giving people a sense of weakness.
Especially since the blood-stained clothes had not been replaced, and the right trouser leg was still torn in the wind.
Ji Li stood at the door of the seventh branch, turning his head to look at the white world and the incomplete footprints on the snow.
Finally opened the door.
On December 24, the seventh branch was already extremely deserted, without the bustle of the previous day.
When he returned, the only person waiting for him was little Qianduye.
Ji Li watched silently as she gradually approached him, and a black wooden cane appeared in front of him.
Little Qianduye understood that the matter had come to this, and it was useless to say anything, so she could only turn all her words into a sigh and speechlessness.
Ji Li did not refuse. After taking the cane, he gently stroked the finely carved lines on the handle.
Destiny is so wonderful.
Haruka remembered that when he was in Kyoto, he had his leg injured by a ghost. At that time, little Qianduye went to the mall to choose a cane for him.
It doesn't seem to be much different from the current one.
The cane was thrown away after use, but now it will accompany him in the future.
"This cane was designed by me and her...
She knows you very well, and the material and shape are very suitable. When the handle is unscrewed, it turns into a short knife that can be used in missions. ”
Little Qianduye's voice was very soft, and she didn't say clearly who "she" was, but there was no need for this person to guess.
Ji Li did not answer, but nodded lightly:
"Thank you."
"Thank you."
After saying a few words of thanks, he passed Xiao Qian with his cane and silently walked to the third floor.
Little Qianduye turned around silently and looked at the haggard and lonely figure for a long time. After a while, she whispered:
"If you really care about him, why do you want to hurt him like this?"
The female voice is wearing an extremely thin white skirt, which is dotted with pale pink petals, like cherry blossoms blooming in the snow.
She half covered her face, looked vaguely in the direction Ji Li walked, and whispered softly:
"There are two villains in everyone's body. They are constantly fighting, ebbing and flowing, and some things cannot be controlled by one's own control..."
……
Losing a piece of tibia and fibula is nothing, it's just that the movement of the right leg is not as convenient as before.
For the whole, the impact is not big, although it is not small.
In the steamy bathroom, Ji Li recalled the meeting with the white-robed ghost worshiper.
In fact, this experience can be summarized in just two words:
"Solving puzzles and guessing"
The white-robed worshiping ghost now looks like Gao Yan, but it cannot be Gao Yan.
So the only explanation is that this ghost is an identity that needs to be constantly hidden with the help of the human body.
Just like the short and fat man Gao Yan saw eighteen years ago, and the Gao Yan Ji Li saw today.
In fact, Gao Yan had already been killed by the white-robed worshiping ghost during the meeting with Mu Nianmei before the mission began.
As for what Ji Li saw later in the mission, he was actually a white-robed ghost in disguise. Why does it do this?
Now there is an answer.
The object of the white-robed ghost's worship is Ji Li. Its goal has been clear from the beginning, which is to attract Ji Li.
And its ultimate goal is to "shape" Ji Li into that statue.
The original description: The statue of Ji Li has a disabled right leg, leaning on a cane and holding two human skulls.
The white-robed ghost's ability is very powerful, but it is definitely not unstoppable.
The main reason why Ji Li lost a leg was because of what he said.
It interfered with Ji Li's thoughts with the inside story of a female voice, preventing him from immediately using the ancient bronze coffin to evade, and thus he was attacked.
But its goal is very clear, it just wants to turn Ji Li into a cripple.
After breaking through the closed stone wall with his sword, he finally walked out.
Judging from this experience, the level of the wheel-turning king, the white-robed worshiping ghost, and the female actress ghost should be the same.
Looking at all the "props" Ji Li has on him at this time:
Ancient bronze coffin from King Chakravartin;
The opera sword comes from the ghost of a female actress;
The evil spirit comes from the fifth store manager mission;
Except for the evil spirits, the other two objects were created by a ghost that came to him on his own initiative and left them behind through different methods.
Now include those wearing white robes to worship ghosts.
The reason why these people are listed together is because in Ji Li's opinion, maybe the four of them have some plot against Ji Li.
The Wheel King lent the ancient bronze coffin for no apparent reason;
The heroine's ghost suddenly intercepted and sent out the opera sword in a killing manner;
Although the entry of evil spirits is related to the exorcism ritual, they did not evacuate after the mission was over;
The white-robed worshiping ghost did not give away any items, but it took a piece of tibia and fibula from Ji Li...
To sum up, Ji Li thinks this is not over yet.
What is certain at present is that there will be a group of special ghosts that are very "interested" in Ji Li and eager to fulfill some purposes through him.
Ji Li raised his hand to turn off the shower, took out a bath towel to wipe the water stains, and walked out.
The blood stains left on the sofa had long since disappeared. It must have been cleaned up by the female voice on its own initiative.
He sat on it and took out the cigarette case from the table.
Ji Li lit a thinking cigarette and began to ponder the current situation.
"As the only person qualified to sit at the gambling table with Tianhai, there is always a question that has been ignored.
That is, if I win this bet, what will I get? ”
Ji Li did not dare to think about this problem before, but judging from the current situation, this matter must be asked in advance.
Because the ghosts led by the white-robed worshiping ghost approached him for this reason alone.
On the surface, it seemed that these four ghosts were all aiming to kill him, but in fact, none of them really killed him. Instead, they all left something behind.
From this point of view, there is a group of ghosts trying to establish a relationship with Ji Li in advance.
The ultimate goal of these ghosts is to profit after Ji Li finally wins.
If we still look at gambling as a perspective, we can look at it this way.
Ji Li and Tianhai are two parties on this gambling table. Although their power is disparate, they are equal opponents.
After they placed their bets, they attracted the attention of some other ghosts, who also placed their bets.
Most of the ghosts are on the side of Tianhai, maybe this is the origin of the mission;
But there are also some special ghosts, such as white-robed worshiping ghosts, etc. They can win by betting on seasonal rituals and make a profit from it;
Therefore, most of these ghosts have nothing to do with the main mission line.
Ji Li squinted his eyes and thought through the hazy smoke. Suddenly, a weird idea appeared in his mind.
And this idea may be able to answer a question that has troubled him for a long time.
"Maybe the way I defeat Tianhai is to use this group of special ghosts."
