Chapter 1231 Tearing up lies
The cell space fell into a dead silence. Everyone was silent and focused on staring at the shriveled ghost on the platform.
This second round is going to take this approach, and this rule seems a bit strange...
Ji Li had expected that this ghost would die sooner or later, but he never thought it would be so soon. He estimated that it would take at least one or two more rounds.
And what it said was quite strange.
He stared carefully at the face of the ghost, especially its eyes that were shining with green will-o'-the-wisps.
"Could it be that these eyes can see people's memories, so it concluded that everyone lied."
It will conduct a second round of forced confessions based on what it remembers and compares it with lies.
But one thing, Ji Li asked himself, was his previous statement really a lie?
As the second round of explanation of the rules for the withered ghost was completed, there was a pause of about ten seconds. Its figure did not move, and it still stayed quietly in the cage.
But in Cell No. 1, another identical shriveled ghost appeared, standing directly in front of Wu Hao out of thin air.
Wu Hao was frightened by this sudden intrusion.
The wizened ghost, about 1.9 meters tall, was instantly in front of him. The two were so close that he could even feel the biting breath coming out of the other person's mouth.
Its eyes, burning with will-o'-the-wisps, seemed to have caused a strong mental trauma to it at this sudden moment, making it dare not look at it again.
Wu Hao retreated step by step in panic, shouting something indistinctly and waving his hands in front of him.
But the ghost obviously didn't choose to let him go. Wu Hao took one step back and it chased after him until the other party couldn't retreat and pressed against the wall. The two still maintained a close proximity, face to face.
Wu Hao was helpless and had to cover his face with both hands, closing his eyes tightly and trembling.
"When you testified, you said, 'You are just an ordinary person,' and you acted like you were afraid of me, right.
But let me ask you, now that I am standing in front of you, are you really an ordinary person, are you really afraid of me from the bottom of your heart? ”
The first question caused an uproar, and for a while the iron bars of each cell were shaking.
Ji Li's brows suddenly wrinkled. He could see cell No. 1 completely, but he couldn't see what was happening inside.
But what does this mean?
How could a ghost ask Wu Hao such a question?
Not only Ji Li, but Shao Yongan was also shocked. He looked at Cell No. 1 in disbelief, but he couldn't see through the darkness there.
"Wu Hao is a waste. Is this the character he has always created?
The shriveled ghost clearly has a God's perspective, and it fully understands our true inner thoughts and memories.
There is no one from the Ninth Branch here, and I had no idea about this person before. Is he really not a human being? ”
But the main reason why Shao Yongan and Ji Li were so shocked:
"It can't be that easy!"
That's right.
How could it be so easy and simple? It was just the second round and one person had just died.
The shriveled ghost tore through Wu Hao's disguise with just one word. Didn't he catch the evil ghost with his own hands?
No one knows what Wu Hao answered, because his tongue had long been cut out.
No one could know what he was doing because it was too dark deep in the cell.
With a solemn expression, Ji Li moved his perspective from cell No. 1 to the platform cage. The real body of the shriveled ghost was still on it, with a strange expression and a ferocious posture, as terrifying as ever.
He was thinking about a possibility.
In the first round of Q&A, the clerk's questions and answers seemed normal, but Ji Li knew one rule very well - the wizened ghost did not say "the respondent must tell the truth."
During the first round of question and answer, one of the seven people must have lied.
So in this case, is it possible that the shriveled ghost is also lying! This second round of the process is led by this ghost. The ghost itself is completely untrustworthy, so the results based on its questions are naturally likely to be an inducement.
Wu Hao's situation was special. Others could not hear his excuses and responses, and the ghost was transferred to cell No. 2.
Perhaps because of Wu Hao's experience, Ge Xing was much smarter. He simply stayed at the iron fence so that his performance could be seen by everyone.
And he also noticed that the shriveled ghost did not need to open the lock to enter the cell. It could teleport directly in, right in front of his face.
Facing ghosts at close range, Ge Xing was also extremely frightened. His hands resting on the iron railings had bulging veins and were shaking unnaturally, so he could only hold on tightly to the steel bars.
The details of this kind of fear are the only ones in humans that can be clearly seen by others.
Before the ghost could ask questions, he took the lead and proved his innocence, fearing that he would make the same mistake as Wu Hao.
"I...I didn't lie. Every word I said before is true. There is absolutely nothing hidden."
Ge Xing mustered up the courage to stare closely at the bark-like face of the shriveled ghost. On it, he seemed to see something crawling under the skin, which made him almost vomit.
The shriveled ghost opened its mouth full of cracks, but the question of its opening was suspicious:
"Every word is true?
So what did you do in the bathroom when you were placing bets in Luo Tian? Do you dare to tell me? ”
Ge Xing was speechless when he heard the words, his face immediately turned from pale to ashen, his eyes flickered, and he really couldn't think of a reply for a while.
He kept licking his thirsty lips with a guilty conscience, and kept looking back at Luo Tian and then at Shao Yongan.
After more than ten seconds, even the shriveled ghost had the intention of leaving, and then he shouted with all his strength:
"I...I did encounter a ghost, but I dare to swear that I was definitely not killed by it, let alone changed.
It just said it could help me win back everything I lost, but I refused!
I have been in the first branch for half a month, and I have seen all the ghosts on the second floor, and some of them have tempted me to release them.
I understand the deceitfulness of ghosts so well that I really refuse. ”
It's a secret, it's hidden...
It was useless for Ge Xing to say anything at this moment, because his doubts were too great.
He lay on the door and glanced at the others in a panic, realizing that the eyes they were looking at him had changed, becoming more critical and questioning.
Perhaps he hid the ghost sighting from the beginning because he was worried about such a scene.
But once this matter comes to light, it will be difficult to recover, and people's minds will consciously increase their imagination.
No. 1 and No. 2, as long as the people behind him don't tell more serious lies, I'm afraid Ge Xing is destined to be eliminated in this round.
But the development of things is always highly dramatic, with one unexpected event after another.
People are still immersed in the major suspicion that Ge Xing has seen a ghost. Hu Li in Cell No. 3 once again broke the huge news, and even directly exposed the disguise of his identity.
A heavy question, with unquestionable facts, happened before everyone's eyes.
"How long do you want to hide it from her?"
The shriveled ghost stretched out its five sharp fingers and inserted them directly into Hu Li's abdomen before she could react, and then pulled hard.
A piece of bloody intestine, like a thin snake, was crazily entangled between the fingers of the shriveled ghost. There was a trace of supernatural black energy among the blood red, until it was crushed by it.
All the red and black turned into powder, leaving only the shriveled ghost that smiled strangely at Hu Li and whispered in her ear like a devil:
"Tell me now, are you a human or a ghost..."
