a ghost pretending to be human

Li Zigui thought for a long time why Wen Shisi had such a reaction.

But still can't figure it out.

In fact, he didn't think his "suicide theory" made sense.At least, he didn't think that if he wanted to commit suicide, he would need to go through such trouble, nor did he think that he would choose such a stupid suicide method ingeniously.In the final analysis, whether the loss of memory was caused by himself or someone else is not conclusive.

Li Zigui originally wanted to stimulate Wen Shisi, who seemed to be familiar with him, and dig out some information, but Wen Shisi kept his mouth shut, unwilling to say more, and even disappeared.Of course, if she disappears, she will disappear. Li Zigui will definitely be able to find her if he wants to find her, but he feels that it is useless to find her if he finds her, so he lets her disappear.

What are you doing, pretending not to have amnesia seems to know a lot of weird things, the more you pretend to be more confused, but you can't get any useful information if you confess to others that you have amnesia.

Then is he still pretending?

While Li Zigui was thinking about what to do next, the doorbell rang.

He floated out the door and saw Yan Ming standing in front of the door.

Yan Ming's face looked bloodless, and there were two dark circles under his eyes, as if he had never rested.

"Looking for me?" Li Zigui asked.

"Well," Yan Ming was still buried in sending messages on his mobile phone, "Explain."

Li Zigui reacted for a while before realizing that Yan Ming was asking for an explanation about Wen Shisi.

...But he doesn't know either.So what to do?Isn't it a little too much to say "I won't tell you" now?

Li Zigui's silence caught Yan Ming's attention.

He realized that Li Zigui didn't seem to have the intention of letting him in, so he turned his back against the door, put away his phone, and looked at Li Zigui floating in the air: "Can't you say it?"

What Yan Ming said made Li Zigui feel guilty.

Although he didn't know what role he played in this series of events before and what he wanted to do, at least, now he didn't want to cause any extra trouble to Yan Ming.

Even if Yan Ming succeeds in saving the world, his parents will never come back.The protagonist who works hard to save the world is pitiful enough.

He sighed: "you find a place, let's talk."

... Help if you can, anyway, he doesn't know what to do now.

Yan Ming thought about it, and took Li Zigui to a fast food restaurant.

"What do you eat?" He stood in front of the counter, looking at the colorful menu, and asked Li Zigui.

The clerk behind the counter looked at Yan Ming inexplicably: "Do you need a recommendation?"

"I don't eat." Li Zigui replied.

Yan Ming ordered a chocolate sundae for himself, took the plate, found a remote table, and sat down.

Unknown foreign language music lingers in the store, which sounds very familiar, probably the latest popular songs.

"What are you talking about?" Yan Ming picked up the spoon and prepared to eat the sundae.

"Hmm..." Li Zigui floated in front of Yan Ming, "I'll tell you something."

"Ok?"

"I have no memory."

"..." Yan Ming's hand holding the spoon paused.

Many images flashed through his mind in an instant, and he swallowed the sentence "So that's what it is" about to say.

He couldn't figure it out.Why did Li Zigui lose his memory?And why tell him that?If Li Zigui is lying to him, what is the gain?

Every time, when something happened to Li Zigui, all logic would collapse.Nothing makes sense.When and why Li Zigui is acting, he can only guess.Such an existence that is obviously deeply related to Xie Jia and Wen Shisi, why did it never appear in the original plot?

He pondered for a while, then pressed his temple with a headache: "I don't know whether to believe it or not."

"I think I have a lot of flaws." Li Zigui said helplessly, "I called your name at the Ferris wheel before, but you didn't answer me, so I thought you were not Yan Ming, so I turned around and left."

Yan Ming: "..." I wonder why you left so simply...

Thinking about it this way, Li Zigui was indeed extremely friendly to him in the ghost cave, as if everything before had been wiped out, just like that starry sky...

……and many more.

"That starry sky." Yan Ming looked at Li Zigui, "If you lost your memory, how could you create such a realistic illusion in an instant?"

Sure enough, he was still lying.

Obviously, he should be narcissistic, and he really knows everything, but Yan Ming is extremely disappointed.

He was indeed tired.When you are tired, you can't bear to be deceived, and you can hypocritically feel sorry for yourself, as if you really believe in something.

"Created?" Li Zigui thought for a while, "It's not counted as a creation. That was there already....It's hard to explain. Anyway, there was a place from the beginning. There are stars on the top, and a place with water on the bottom. I just I intercepted the part of the sky to show you."

Li Zigui's words were fragmented.

Yan Ming was stunned for a moment: "...an illusion?"

Li Zigui blinked.

"Take me to that place to have a look," Yan Ming said, "Can you?"

Then, Yan Ming saw a vast expanse.

He was floating in the air, with the vast starry sky above his head and the vast water color under his feet.The surface of the water is as calm as a mirror, extending into the distance and meeting the sky.All the starlight in the sky is faithfully reflected, giving people a sense of spatial dislocation for a while.

The feeling of floating is very strange, but you can still feel the weight of your body. Therefore, Yan Ming always feels a little hard, as if trying to keep himself from falling.

He carefully controlled himself and floated down.He squatted down, hanging vacantly, his fingertips lightly touching the water.

The waves of light suddenly rose, and the ripples swayed round and round, shattering the starlight of the water.

The ability to create illusions or hallucinations is not exclusive to ghosts, but every ghost has an inseparable relationship with the hallucinations.

It is said that every ghost will form an illusion intentionally or unintentionally.That visionary scene is usually associated with the death of the ghost.

Yan Ming's extermination of ghosts is usually a matter of one sword, and there is rarely a fight.The only time they got into a stalemate was because the ghost was originally a master who knew him well.

That imperial master was the senior who introduced him when he first started working. He acted seriously and responsible, and was positive and sunny. He chased a beautiful girl smoothly and had a child not long after getting married.Then, when the child was full moon, he unfortunately died in the line of duty.He was devoured to death by hundreds of insects.Then, he turned into a ghost.His hallucination is a dense worm that fills the entire space.Every bug is crying, crying like a baby.It seems that there are creatures wriggling, biting, and crying in every cell.

After that, Yan Ming had a nightmare for a long time before he recovered.

But the feeling of Li Zigui's illusion is completely different.

Far away, blurred.It was silent.

Yan Ming looked up at the starry sky, judging the orientation of each galaxy.

If this starry sky is what Li Zigui saw before his death, then he died about ten years ago.

Yan Ming immediately thought of the tragedy of the Xie family ten years ago.At that time, he was in City A, hadn't started working, and had never been to City B. He just heard some rumors that there was an internal turmoil in Xie's family. On New Year's Eve, there was a sudden dispute, and then he got into a fight for some reason. Arise, many are dead.After communicating with Lu Yiyi, he naturally began to investigate this matter, but the investigation was very difficult and encountered various inexplicable obstacles.

Only two members of the Xie family survived, Xie Lang and Xie Nian.

Yan Ming thought about it, but there was no way he could connect Li Zigui with anyone who died in that civil strife.

"I understand." Yan Ming said, "Let me leave the illusion."

The starry sky and water light suddenly dissipated, blending into a hazy black.

Yan Ming found himself lying on the table.He straightened up and saw that the sundae in front of him had softened.

The feeling of floating in the air has not dissipated, Yan Ming is slightly uncomfortable.

"Do you believe it now? I don't remember anything." Li Zigui asked.

"..." Yan Ming was silent for a while, then smiled, "I believe it or not, it doesn't matter."

He took out his phone and checked the time.

He stood up abruptly.

"How long have I been in the illusion?!"

"...Two or three hours? What's the matter?"

"Let's talk later, I'm going to catch the high-speed train." Yan Ming abandoned his sundae, strode out of the fast food restaurant, and frantically typed back messages while walking.

A black car came galloping and stopped in front of Yan Ming with a sudden brake.Yan Ming got into the car, told the driver the address, then continued typing frantically and made two phone calls.

The car stopped at the station gate.

After queuing up for security checks, checking tickets, getting into the station, until he sat on the seat of the high-speed train, Yan Ming didn't stop typing.

It wasn't until the high-speed train started that he locked the phone screen, heaved a sigh of relief, and lay down on the back of the chair tiredly.

The seat next to Yan Ming happened to be empty, and Li Zigui was floating there.He kept silent all the time, didn't disturb Yan Ming, and didn't know whether to speak or not at this moment.

Yan Ming spoke first.

He turned his head and looked at Li Zigui: "You..."

Li Zigui is listening carefully.

Li Zigui suddenly penetrated the back of the chair.

Li Zigui disappeared in front of Yan Ming.

Li Zigui was left behind by the high-speed rail.

Yan Ming: "??!"

Li Zigui: "...?"

After a while, Yan Ming's cell phone received a text message from the driver, which read:

"My scope of action in the human world seems to be limited. - Li Zigui"

Yan Ming: "..."
