Fear Collection

Xie Jinxi and Muta left the department store from the side stairs through the side door, but fortunately the plastic model did not follow.

But Xie Jinxi did not relax, he could always feel a vague feeling of being spied on.

It was safe for the time being, and Muta turned his attention back to what Xie Jinxi said before, that he already knew about his counterpart.

"Why did you just ask me if I died once? Does it have anything to do with your counterpart?" Muta asked.

Xie Jinxi nodded, and said confidently: "My counterpart is not my memory, but my body."

"Mutta, I am not a living person now, but a dead person."

Xie Jinxi spoke surprisingly, and gave Muta a conclusion that he hadn't thought of.

Muta held Xie Jinxi's hand and had some physical contact with him, and Xie Jinxi did eat and sleep like him these two days, and he didn't think about it at all.

But Muta immediately caught the key point: "Is it related to the unit building?"

"That's right." Xie Jinxi replied, "I also realized it after sharing the feeling with the ghost baby. I sensed a lot of cold and resentful breaths in the upper and lower floors of the unit. The picture you and I saw in the corridor on the sixth floor It's different again."

"In my understanding, that unit building is more like the domain of 'ghosts', where 'ghosts' live like normal people. So when we knocked on the door of 501, the woman who opened the door for us did not look like The rotting corpse can also talk to us, that’s why it’s not that you think the ghost baby is imitating its mother’s talking.”

Xie Jinxi was able to realize that the unit building was actually a ghost building, and another reason was his ability.

He just asked Muta to tell him about his past. After he empathized with the ghost, he not only got the experience of the ghost, but also mastered the ghost's soul core. But after he empathized with the ghost baby, he did not master the ghost baby's soul core. .

Muta said that his ability comes from the blood of the witch, and he did not get the soul core of the ghost baby. In addition to the fact that the unit building itself is the shelter for the ghost baby, it may be because he lost his body.

Without the body blood as a medium, he would not be able to control the soul core.

What's more, Xie Jinxi shared the feeling that he left the ghost baby himself in the later stage, and became a bystander in the ghost baby's memory for the first time.

The part of being a bystander is obviously the memory of the ghost baby after his death, which also proves that the empathy between him and the ghost baby is not as simple as that.It's more like ghosts and ghosts entangled together, the soul invades the other's consciousness and obtains the other's memory.

Xie Jinxi was able to take the initiative purely because he was an adult with a priori and spiritual sense before he was alive. When he met a ghost like the ghost baby who was born not long ago and obviously did not have much self-awareness, he easily got the opponent memory.

"'Normal life', this is also the key word mentioned in the mission information. But those in the unit building are ghosts after all. Their so-called 'normal life' must have many strange things in the eyes of real living people Yes. And if the actions of the living people stimulated these "normal life" grieving ghosts and reminded them of the fact that they were dead, they would be targeted and killed by the grieving ghosts, and Liang Wu died because of this. "

Xie Jinxi looked down at her hands, and said, "And I... I am exactly like this."

"You are new tenants, but I am a normal tenant who lives in this world and rents a unit in the setting, because I am also a grieving ghost, and I am not a living person."

As soon as Xie Jinxi finished speaking, he slowly raised his head, and looked at Muta with a pair of pitch-black eyes. His originally normal complexion instantly turned deathly pale.The cold and dead air spread from his body, making him not only like a plaster statue, but also like a frozen corpse treasured in an ice cellar. In Muta's view... he is more like being killed by himself. The standard of death is me.

"What has been taken from me is not so much my memory as my body, my life."

"As soon as I realized that the plastic mannequins were filled with dead bodies, I guessed what my counterpart was, my dead body hidden inside the plastic mannequins."

Xie Jinxi is not surprised by his changes, or rather, this is what he really looks like now.

When he saw ghost babies, his mother, and old lady ghosts in the apartment building, he had this guess, and Muta's words later confirmed his guess.

From the moment he truly realized that he was dead, the false appearance of being alive was broken.

Is this what death feels like?Is this the afterlife?

After he revealed the ghost form, everything in his eyes faded, only an ominous, blood-red light from Muta's heart.

Xie Jinxi's eyes slipped unconsciously and landed on Muta's heart.

That light danced in Xie Jinxi's eyes, urging him to get it, hold it, and take it back, as if it belonged to him...

"The question is, now there are 68 plastic models, excluding the identified Wang Guangshu, which one of the remaining 67 will hold your body."

Xie Jinxi took two steps forward and approached Muta, and said: "The plastic models will move at night. They move because they are not only filled with corpses, but also because there are resentful spirits attached to them. What we have to do is to find out what is wrong. The one that moves."

Xie Jinxi put his hand on Muta's chest and looked up at him: "Will you help me?"

Muta only felt a cold breath pouring from his chest, and the pain in his leg bones, which had been throbbing all the time, became more and more serious.

After Xie Jinxi revealed the form of the grieving ghost, the Yin Qi that came with him when he came into contact with Muta would also corrode his body and accelerate the development of his curse. It would probably not be long before he would return to the state of a snake tail.

Muta raised his hand to cover Xie Jinxi's, and said with the usual attitude: "Of course."

Xie Jinxi froze for a moment, passed his hand back from Muta's, and then suddenly looked around.

This is the entrance to the market. After knowing that the unit building is actually a ghost building, Xie Jinxi didn't want to go back.

But probably because he and Muta stayed near the market for too long, in Xie Jinxi's field of vision, there was an aura of resentment surging in the shops in the market, as long as the shops had windows facing him and Muta, the windows must be standing Several ghosts.

The goods placed on the stalls outside are slowly rotting, dry, and moldy. The ground under the stalls is slowly rising, and the shops are slowly deforming. It's almost like a cemetery.

"No, we won't stay here any longer." Xie Jinxi made a decisive decision, "Go back to the unit first."

Sure enough, there will be no loopholes at all. Even if someone discovers the abnormality of the unit building, it is impossible to stay outside the unit building for a long time.Temporarily safe places, except for the department store, which is a unit building, the longer you stay outside of these two buildings, the more dangerous it will be.

Muta followed Xie Jinxi and walked down the steep slope to the unit building community.

The unit building community is still the same, with extremely high-density buildings blocking the light of the day, messy wires and tattered neon signs occupying the limited space above the head...

The light board that says early death and early birth is two and a half words on.

Xie Jinxi paused as he passed by, and two rope loops hung down from the two words lit up on the light board, and two rotten figures hung there, their toes swaying slightly.Under the remaining third word that kept flashing, an empty rope loop was hanging down. The rope loop followed the corpse next to it and swayed slightly in the dark wind. It was just for someone.

Muta also looked up, but he didn't see anything except the two half-characters that were lit up.

Xie Jinxi and Muta crossed the light sign and walked towards the unit building. Seeing that Muta didn't ask questions, Xie Jinxi couldn't help asking: "Don't you ask me what I saw?"

Muta shook his head and said, "The world in your eyes is different from mine now, but soon I will be able to see the world in your eyes."

"Is it because of empathy?"

"Yeah." Muta replied.

Xie Jinxi and Muta walked up the stairs, and Muta said, "I probably know where your memory is."

When Muta first met Xie Jinxi and saw that he was still alive but had lost his memory, combined with the reminder of the mission, he naturally thought that Xie Jinxi's memory was the 'correspondence' that he had been taken away.

But now that Xie Jinxi is still in the state of a dead soul and his body was taken away, where did Xie Jinxi's memory go?

After changing his thinking, Muta had the answer.

"It's in my consciousness." Muta said firmly.

In the end, before Xie Jinxi died in his arms, in order for him to use Ye Nai's soul core, she had a complete empathy with him.

Complete empathy makes two originally different souls entangled together, one body and one soul, which makes it extremely easy for two people to be unable to distinguish each other, resulting in inseparable souls of two people.The final result is that the two of them can't tell whether they are Muta or Xie Jinxi, either they are schizophrenic or their consciousness has become a stitch monster.

But Xie Jinxi was about to die at that time, and Muta couldn't find Xie Jinxi's soul at all in the later stage. His soul was forcibly stripped and thrown into the next fragmented world.

During this re-separation process, Xie Jinxi's memory was lost in Muta's consciousness.But because of Xie Jinxi's death, the connection between them was broken, causing that lost memory to sink into Muta's subconscious.

In other words, for the sake of independence and integrity of self-awareness, Muta unintentionally sealed up the memory belonging to Xie Jinxi.

"After you get your body back or I turn back into a snake-tailed monster, the connection between me and you will be established again. At that time, through empathy, I can return your memory to you."

Xie Jinxi and Muta had already arrived at the 5th floor. Xie Jinxi waved his hand, and the door of 502 opened with a creak. After he and Muta walked in, the iron door slammed shut automatically.

Xie Jinxi looked at Muta's broad back and said, "But you will become a snake tail again."

Muta turned around and met Xie Jinxi's dark eyes.

Any sane living being in the same room as a ghost would probably be terrified, but Muta was not afraid of anything.

"The curse on me is still there, and it is probably my destiny to become a monster."

"But at least fate still favors me. I am not a monster that no one wants. You will accept me, just like I will accept you now."

Xie Jinxi may be able to get his body back, but can he come back from the dead?

Muta didn't have this kind of extravagant hope. The boundary between life and death is like the boundary between man and monster. Once crossed, it is extremely difficult to return to normal.

But it doesn't matter, the monster is the monster raised by the grieving ghost, and the grieving ghost is the grieving ghost in the monster's arms.

As long as the connection between them is still there, as long as each other is still there, it's not a problem.

It was fate, curse and death that helped them choose each other.

The author has something to say: 100 chapters!The word count has exceeded 30!I'm not good at writing long novels, so I have to eat books in the later stage, and the rhythm is not very good.It’s really not easy to follow up with everyone who serializes. Thank you for your hard work. I cherish every reader very much. In the comment area of ​​the article, I will randomly select readers to send some small red envelopes. Thank you for watching now.

In addition, it seems that I have never mentioned before that the name of Muta comes from a kind of snake. The Chinese name is 'Amazon Giant Viper'. fate'.

Lachesis is one of the three goddesses of fate in Greek mythology. The three goddesses of fate are the daughters of the main god Zeus and the goddess of justice Themis. The three of them share one eye, one ear, etc., that is, share all senses.They are in charge of the fate of human beings, among them Clotho weaves the thread of life; Lachesis measures the length of each person's life thread to determine the life span of that person; Atropos is responsible for cutting the thread of life, and the human life ends. Even Zeus, the heavenly father, could not defy their arrangements.

This name and myths and legends are the origin of Muta.
