Seeing this pupil-less man again, Xiao Mo didn't feel much strangeness because he hadn't changed much compared to two years ago. He wore a light white outfit, a milky white hat, and that severely peeled yo-yo hanging from his waist.

  Zhang Tianyi's eyes fell on Xiao Mo as soon as he entered, but there was no extra expression on his face, as if Xiao Mo's appearance was a matter of course.

  "You've lost your memory, so you don't remember anything, right? That means you're now a rookie."

  Zhang Tianyi's tone made Xiao Mo very uncomfortable, but it seemed like there was some implication behind it. Before Xiao Mo could respond, Old Gao, who was sitting on the sofa, interrupted them:

  "Xiao Mo is also a victim of this incident, so we need to seize every minute, and there's no time for idle talk until this is over."

  After finishing speaking, Old Gao looked at Monk Mian Ran again:

  "Would you mind calling Li Shuai over?"

  Everyone found a seat and waited for Li Shuai to come over with sleepy eyes. Old Gao nodded at Zhang Tianyi:

  "Now everyone is here, tell us about the clues you've found."

  Zhang Tianyi was obviously used to this way, and he took out his mobile phone and opened the album.

  "As of now, a total of three victims have been killed, these are their crime scenes."

  When Zhang Tianyi spoke, everyone stretched their heads over, and then a series of gasps echoed in the room. Xiao Mo covered his mouth and almost threw up, this was no longer just gore, but nausea, a chilling nausea.

  The deceased in the first photo, along with his limbs and skull, had completely retracted into his body like a turtle. His white bones were exposed on the outside, almost unrecognizable as human.

  The deceased in the second photo was cut in half at the waist, with internal organs stretched extremely long, like a four-folded chair, stiffly lying on the ground.

  The deceased in the third photo had his neck twisted into a knot, and his blood-stained body was still covered with a layer of bone fragments...

  Xiao Mo endured the shock from his stomach, he had experienced those things before and had seen people die in front of him, but never to this extent. Everyone was dead, yet they didn't even spare the corpses of the deceased, insisting on pushing everything to the most ruthless extreme before stopping.

  Xiao Mo gritted his teeth, desperately resisting the invasion of fear. His fighting spirit had just ignited, and he had just made up his mind to live on, so he would not let these few rotten photos extinguish everything.

  Xiao Mo's current state caught everyone's attention, but it was just that - attention. No one offered any words of encouragement. However, Xiao Mo didn't need those things; his life was his own, and he would fight to defend it himself.

  Zhang Tianyi put away his phone and continued:

  "This incident originated from a WeChat message sent by a woman. What we need to figure out now is the nature of this paranormal event. Is it a curse created by an evil spirit? A revenge from a vengeful ghost? Or a rule made by a specter?"

  I think the revenge of the vengeful spirit can be basically ruled out, because I checked the identity information of that woman, but the data shows that there is no such person. It can be seen that the woman is a completely fabricated thing, which does not match with the existence of the vengeful spirit at all.

  Furthermore, from the course of events, it is not difficult to see that this was not a direct killing, but rather sending a voice similar to fg first, and only taking action against the victim several days later. If it were a vengeful spirit killing someone, it would not be so troublesome."

  "So you think it's a ghost or an evil spirit?"

  The monk of Mo Ran suddenly asked.

  "I think it's a ghost."

  "Why?"

  This time it was Xinyan who spoke up, and Xiao Mo also heard her voice for the first time, with a slightly hoarse tone.

  "Because of the location, and I saw it."

  Regarding this point, there are more detailed records in the notes. In general, evil spirits are trapped in a certain place and will only appear when the curse they created is broken by someone at the link. Moreover, the location of the murder also has singularity, limited to a certain range, such as schools, companies, cars, virtual dreams, etc.

  As in his previous encounter at Luohe University, the evil spirit was trapped under the four-sided platform until Zhang You-shan, who was supposed to be the executioner of the curse, defected and it escaped from the platform. Because the link of the curse was broken, Zhang did not follow the restraint to kill them.

  Xiao Mo no longer wandered in his thoughts and continued to listen to Zhang Tianyi's analysis:

  "This time, the victims are scattered all over the place, dispersed around Xu'an City. The evil spirit doesn't have the ability to curse an entire city. Moreover, I saw that thing in one of the victim's homes, although it was just a glimpse, but I'm very sure I saw it."

  "So it's a ghost event? As for sending to the victims, is that just the rule of the game it has set? Is this a WeChat, bottle-picking game?"

  Li Shuai smiled inexplicably, seemingly not agreeing with Zhang Tianyi's words.

  "This is also very strange for me, because it doesn't seem like a game at all. Uh...it seems like there's no way to play."

  Zhang Tianyi said awkwardly and also had a self-aware shift in topic:

  "All the victims are connected to that thing, they all have WeChat replies, so they should all be on the death list. And I also discovered a strange phenomenon, that is, the three people who have been killed, their mobile phones are all gone, don't know what this means."

  "Alas." The Taoist priest sighed and then said with a sorrowful face:

  "It seems that this time's victims are unlikely to be rescued."

  "Master, don't be afraid, that thing will definitely go to kill again, and when the time comes, it can be caught, and it can also be determined whether it has a key or not."

  Li Shuai didn't seem to care, and after listening, the Taoist priest shook his head again.

  "What you said is easy to say, but we can't even trap it, let alone catch it. It's better for us not to make a direct resistance, that will only speed up our pace of death."

  Xiao Shuai's words made Xiao Meng feel like he was in a fog, and at first, he had heard Lao Gao mention something about confronting ghosts, but he hadn't mentioned the details. This time, he couldn't help but ask:

  "Can ghosts fight back?"

  "Of course, but just like a kindergarten kid fighting with Bruce Lee."

  After finishing speaking, Li Shuai let out a loud roar and made a Bruce Lee-style move towards Xiao Mo.

  Xiao Mo Bai gave Li Shuai a white eye, and then asked with a dead heart:

  "Is there really no way to resist evil spirits in this world? Scriptures, Taoist rituals, and spell formations are all useless? Can't we do anything but flee and be killed?"

  Li Shuai was about to tease Xiao Mo a few more times, but Zhang Tianyi beat him to it:

  "Didn't you see my note?"

  "Of course I've seen it."

  "You should know that the oni are not invincible."

  "Are you referring to the shackles of worldly rules? Kill them with rules?"

  The last page of the notes vaguely records that the ghost objects are restricted by the rules of the world, and once they violate the rules, they will be eliminated by this world. This is also the reason why they are so powerful but cannot completely invade the human world. Here, there is a dialectical relationship: humans cannot kill ghost objects, but the rules of the world can kill them, and humans can use the rules, making it possible for humans to kill ghosts.

  But as for how to utilize it and how to discover the rules, that is unknown.

  Zhang Tianyi did not entangle with Xiao Mo on this issue. He looked at the time and asked Xin Yan, who was silent:

  "Hasn't the number of victims increased again?"

  Upon hearing this, Xinyan finally lifted her head and said:

  "Yes, the number of victims should be fixed now."

  "Alright, now we..."

  "Wait a minute. If she can foresee the victims, why don't we prevent them in advance? For example, smash their phones or force them to change their numbers."

  In Xiao Mo's view, if he could predict the victims of supernatural events, then he could just prevent them in advance. However, Zhang Tianyi's subsequent answer dashed his hopes.

  Xin Yan can only predict the victims of supernatural events, which means that when she knows, they have already been completely involved in the event. And we don't know who the next victim is, nor do we know when they will die.

  "It seems I need to remind you of this, but this isn't a movie like 'Death Note', we're just a group of ordinary people who are passively accepting our fate and can easily die even if we're very careful."

  Having said that, Zhang Tianyi didn't wait for Xiao Mo to speak and instead beckoned to everyone.

  "Come on, let's go to the victim's home now!"
