Help, I've become a paper man

Song Yi sighed, paused for two seconds, took out a pack of wet wipes from the space, handed it to the other party, and asked: "Wipe it?"

He was neither surprised nor delighted that this situation would occur. Rather, the standard follow-up gave him a feeling of "so that's how it is."

Du Lin stared at him and did not take the tissue. The boy just swayed and barely stood, making his thin body look even thinner.

"I'm dying," Du Lin said.

Song Yi said "uh" and asked, "So what just now... was it?"

It's not that he has something to say, but he has to bring it up. It's mainly because the scene just now was so shocking. I'm not kidding. The thing in front of him "clicked" and really cracked, which made it difficult for him to adapt to it for a while.

Now, this person said again: "It is just the alternation of life and death. When the ghost dies, the human will live. But the problem is not solved. It is just temporary..."

The boy's voice became lower and lower. In the end, his eyes were still looking at Song Yi, and his voice became even lighter, as if he was whispering.

"You found me, do you want to hear my confession?"

Song Yi shuddered and ignored Du Lin, but subconsciously turned his head to look for the goat.

After all, the last time I heard a story, the goat won the game, but this time...

"Confess what? Your story?" Song Yi looked away and asked.

Du Lin exhaled, finally stopped struggling, slowly lowered his body and sat down, saying:

"It's the story of the boy with glasses, and the sin of a liar."

"At first, he was just too lonely and wanted someone to be with him, so he told the first lie."

"There is an orphanage, a kind but miserable director, and a group of poor and homeless children..."

"His classmates believed him and were willing to work with him to help those children."

When Du Lin said this, he coughed up a mouthful of blood, his eyes fell into the air, he looked a little dazed, and his voice was a little unclear.

"Then he told the second lie - that those kids, who had been hurt, didn't trust anyone else."

"But there is a game that is being played that tests one's character, and only by passing it can one achieve victory."

Song Yi asked: "So? You lied again? They lost?"

He was already a little anxious when he heard this. "Game" was the key word, and when combined with "story", it made him think of the goat again. He began to feel impatient and wanted to know the answer urgently.

Du Lin raised the corners of his lips, as if he was about to smile, but his expression was still dazed, and he said slowly:

"If it was just cheating in the game, that would be great..."

"There are monsters, ghosts, and dangers... At the beginning, I didn't understand why this happened."

"But I was afraid that they would find out that I was lying and would no longer care about me. So, when the first person died and the first ghost appeared, I lied."

"I told them, 'Those kids saw your efforts,' so they happily accepted, searched for... and welcomed the pollution."

“I tricked them into coming here when the large-scale pollution came.”

Du Lin coughed again, and his abdomen gradually became wet. The boy slowly lowered his head and opened his mouth to breathe.

Song Yi stared at the boy and asked, "Excuse me, is your name really Du Lin?"

Du Lin was stunned and replied: "...Yes, my name is Du Lin."

Song Yi frowned, feeling something was wrong, but couldn't explain it clearly, so the topic ended here. However, Du Lin spoke again and continued:

"You have also discovered that humans and ghosts are interdependent, and the reason why this situation happened is all my fault, because of my lies."

Ah, another lie.

Song Yi felt something was wrong, but when he said it out loud, he just asked:

"Why are you called Du Lin? Is someone bullying you?"

Du Lin smiled but didn't answer. His body was damaged rapidly and he got multiple wounds. He was getting closer to death. At the same time, a system sound rang out.

"Congratulations to player Song Yi for discovering a strange story for the first time! Please keep up the good work!"

Song Yi came back to his senses and suddenly realized that this was the first time he received a hint in this game. Noah's Ark, the chatterbox, rarely spoke until the very end!

"Or in other words, what happened to that girl named Du Lin?" he asked.

It was also at this moment that Song Yi grasped the problem. No matter how many times they "reloaded the game", they had never left the so-called "first day". From the very beginning, they were in this lie.

Including the story that Du Lin just told.

A supernatural incident about "students and pollution", but if it were just that, it would not be easy for the situation to develop to the current state.

Song Yi opened his lips and was about to ask again, but Du Lin suddenly looked at him, and stood up again while shaking, and said:

"Everyone got the ending they deserved. She was left here and had friends, and so did I."

"Say something happy, like, for example, the mirror."

As Du Lin spoke, he looked at Mu Yun and said:

"My heart, combined with your hand mirror, can open the ghost gate."

As they spoke, the two of them looked over there at the same time. The thing was still glowing, but there was no change. Obviously, there was another explanation, but in Du Lin's words, this operation was too special.

Song Yi asked: "Is there no other way?"

Du Lin laughed again and walked slowly towards Song Yi, but after taking two steps, his body began to lean forward. Song Yi almost subconsciously walked forward and reached out to catch him.

But in the end it was a step too slow.

Du Lin staggered and fell directly into his arms. At the same time, the boy's hand, which was originally covering his chest, caught the beating heart from between the cracked flesh and stuffed it into Song Yi's arms.

Song Yi's body tensed and his brain went blank for a moment. His thoughts jumped between "hold on" and "let go". Du Lin couldn't hold on any longer and her body slid down slowly against him. Only a slight sound passed through the air and entered Song Yi's ears like a whisper.

"It takes the flesh and blood of a ghost to close the door."

"Completely."

Song Yi held Du Lin and prevented him from falling, but he couldn't help asking, "What do you mean?"

The answer he got was a new silence. The resurrected Du Lin died again, leaving him standing there with a corpse in one hand and a heart in the other, his body covered in blood, like he was on some legal program.

Mu Yun asked leisurely: "What are you talking about Du Lin being Du Lin?"

Song Yi came back to his senses and explained, "I was late. I accepted the task on the first day and cleaned the classroom. That was the first incident. We have been involved in it for such a long time, and it has only been resolved now."

"Oh yeah, the one you asked is easier to understand. This kid keeps lying."

"He kept apologizing, but he didn't feel very sorry. It was more like a performance. I couldn't help laughing. It was probably not out of guilt, but intentional."

"Think about it another way. We are human, so who are the ghosts?"

Mu Yun suddenly realized and said, "Sui Yuesheng and the others... the important people to me are the ghosts that correspond to them."

"Yes." Song Yi nodded, let go of Du Lin, walked towards Mu Yun, and continued: "So, I guess that the ghost Du Lin and the identity of 'glasses boy' are mixed up."

"Du Lin is dead. Yan Jing deliberately spoke and killed those 'classmates'. It's not even certain whether those people were 'classmates'."

Mu Yun also nodded and said, "Yes, in the class, including all age groups."

Song Yi nodded but did not respond. He stuffed the heart to Mu Yun and looked away to the other side of the classroom.

Mu Yun asked: "What's wrong?"

Song Yi sighed and replied: "I was wondering what Noah's Ark wanted to do..."

The next moment, he patted Mu Yun again and said:

"Take it and use it. You're welcome. Let me see if there is someone we miss behind the ghost gate."

He spoke too bluntly, and Mu Yun blushed, but he still moved his hands and put the two together. The next moment, the air in front of him shook, and a door appeared out of thin air, standing in front of the two of them. It seemed that he had used it successfully.
