Chapter 134

“As expected, it’s back again.”

Lu Yanli still remembered the strange corridor he and Lin Chu entered after reaching the second floor of the wax museum. When they passed through the corridor, stepping from darkness into light, they had gone to another world.

The air gradually became scorching, making one feel as if they were about to melt. Sweat constantly oozed out, and soon, he was completely drenched. But he did not leave, but looked around, searching for Lin Chu’s figure.

She had something he needed.

Not far away, Lin Chu suddenly reappeared, still bearing traces of animal-like mutations, her ears pointed and erect. She blankly froze for a moment, then immediately came to her senses.

“Let’s go.” Lu Yanli wasn’t far from her, and seeing that she had recovered, he called her to leave together.

“No.”

Lin Chu thought for a moment, she had taken Yu Gaoyi away from another world, so now… he should have returned to that other world?

Dodging a suddenly falling beam, the two ran towards the gate. This time, the gate was open, without any other external obstruction. When they rushed out of the door, they found that the two vengeful ghosts that had been walking on both sides of the street had disappeared.

“Zhuang Ci, Lin Chu’s trail has been detected.”

“What? Where?” Zhuang Ci was shocked and immediately went to look.

On the computer screen, Lin Chu and Lu Yanli, who had been reported dead by the police long ago, walked out of the door of a shop together. After they left, the unknown shop gradually disappeared.

“But the source hasn’t been found yet.” Lu Yanli added.

If they found the statue, they could immediately escape from it after destroying it. But now, even if he knew this belonged to another dimension, he couldn’t leave.

“Do you still have those green fungal spores?” Lu Yanli asked Lin Chu. Because he was very likely to be targeted, he needed this item.

They both knew how to cultivate it. Although Lin Chu wasn’t a good person, she still mentioned: “Animals are okay too.”

“I know.” Lu Yanli took the glass bottle and carefully put it away.

*

Xu Xihe sent out the message, but never received a response. He used that thing to temporarily escape from the evil spirit, but he found that he was being eroded by another kind of weirdness.

This was its terror.

It attracted those vengeful ghosts and souls, plunged the surrounding people into fear, and then appeared as a savior. Once they believed, they could never escape its control.

Xu Xihe sent another message to Zhuang Ci and others, but still didn’t get a response.

Perhaps, they were trapped somewhere?

Xu Xihe didn’t think of the worst possibilities, it had only been a short time, they wouldn’t easily have an accident.

But now…

Xu Xihe took down the statue, put it in his backpack, and prepared to take it out.

He couldn’t stay in this building any longer, he had to change locations.

The moment he escaped, he was immediately shocked into place.

Paper figures.

There were paper figures everywhere.

Paper figures with crudely painted facial features that vividly depicted hideous and painful expressions were flying in the air. They opened their light, long arms, and their bright red mouths opened and closed, singing strange songs. After Xu Xihe escaped the building, many paper figures floated to his side, circling him.

To be precise, they were circling his backpack.

Xu Xihe quickly turned the backpack around to his front and fled quickly. As soon as he took a step, there was a loud noise behind him. Looking back, a bloody corpse exploded into a pile of soft flesh on the ground, even the bones were broken, and two eyeballs rolled forward, crushed by a car.

The driver was also a paper figure, revealing an uncomfortable smile to Xu Xihe through the glass window, its mouth opening and closing, and Xu Xihe recognized what it wanted to say?

“Go to hell…”

The paper figure repeatedly said the three silent words, then its neck slumped and its entire body withered.

He was indeed hit, but…

It wasn’t an illusion, it really suddenly turned into a toy car.

The car also carried a doll wearing a princess dress. The doll with delicate and beautiful features tilted its head to look at him, stood up, and reached out to him. In its hand was a flyer.

“Spirit Medium Town, want to take a look?” The doll’s voice was crisp, and its black glass bead eyes stared at him without blinking. If it hadn’t spoken, it would have looked really cute.

“Go take a look.”

“Go take a look, go take a look!”

“Spirit Medium Town, go take a look!”

More and more doll arms waved flyers, making a rustling sound of paper blowing.

Xu Xihe didn’t want to agree, but he had no choice. The blood suddenly rose to his calves, and the densely packed toy cars floated on the blood. The dolls were still crying, and the crying gradually became sharp, like a little girl’s hysterical howl.

“I’ll go take a look!” Xu Xihe couldn’t escape and had to compromise.

The moment he reached out and took the flyer, his eyes flashed. When he opened his eyes again, the dolls, toy cars, blood, corpses… all disappeared without a trace. Pedestrians walked normally on the street, cars drove by, leaving a series of horns. Only he stood at the intersection, holding the flyer, his face full of disbelief.

If it weren’t for the flyer in his hand, he would almost have thought it was an illusion.

But it wasn’t an illusion.

Xu Xihe lowered his head and carefully examined it.

What Killing Culture Festival?

Other pedestrians walked by with their eyes straight ahead, as if they hadn’t seen this strange vehicle suddenly appear.

He had no choice but to go.

The head of the person in the driver’s seat was split open like a watermelon, red and white liquid flowed all over their body, and two wide-set eyes stared at Xu Xihe, as if urging him silently.

Xu Xihe had no choice but to step onto the car door. There was no one in the car except him. Xu Xihe hugged the backpack, his eyes showing vigilance.

After a long time, a girl nearly three people tall appeared at the street corner. She had no facial features on her face and wore a long dress of an indiscernible color. She lowered her head, looked at a person whose height was only above her knees, and after listening to him, nodded very, very slowly, and slowly walked in one direction.

That direction was exactly where the bus had left.

Wherever she passed, the pedestrians’ steps suddenly stopped, and they cracked inch by inch.

Once her hair was completely wet, she would also lose control. By then, they would really have difficulty returning.

On the roof of a high-rise building on the street, a blood-red figure suddenly appeared.

*

The townspeople’s hostility towards outsiders had reached its peak, and they would even launch attacks as soon as they saw someone suspected of being an outsider. Especially Lu Yanli, who had been confirmed dead by the police, and if he appeared again, it would inevitably cause a sensation. He decided to disguise himself before taking action, while Lin Chu planned to find Yu Gaoyi in this world to ask what happened.

As for her phone, it had long been lost. Even the time was only discovered after randomly knocking out a passerby and looking at their phone.

They didn’t know until they looked that they had been in the wax museum for half a month, and the time for the Culture Festival was almost here.

But now, the opera troupe was gone. They were the only two who could sing, and the strangulation marks on Lu Yanli’s neck were still there, making his voice hoarse, let alone singing. So, everything still fell on Lin Chu.

“These two songs are both used to summon it, right? If we rashly sing them, who knows what the consequences will be.” Lin Chu said, “Anyway, I don’t believe it can really bring people back to life.”

“Maybe it can, bring people from the past or future to this world, is that considered it?” Speaking of this, Lu Yanli thought again of the two vengeful ghosts who had forced them into the wax museum.

One had once parasitized in his eyes, and the other should have been himself who had returned from May 1st in the future but was killed by the vengeful ghost.

They didn’t know what would happen after they met.

Perhaps, both sides would suffer?

Then, there was still one self from the future left in the town, but he didn’t know where he had gone.

They finally decided to split up. Lu Yanli went to find his future self, while Lin Chu planned to find Yu Gaoyi. What she didn’t expect was that she would reunite with her companions soon.

Zhuang Ci and others immediately told their own experiences. The others were fine, but Zhuang Ci’s… Lin Chu frowned, obviously, the development of things was somewhat beyond her expectations.

“According to what you said, Chu Xian was already dead, but you still saw her and read the novel she wrote…” Lin Chu always felt that the story she heard from Zhuang Ci was a bit familiar.

If Lu Yanli was present, he would definitely be more shocked than Lin Chu, because most of the novels written by Chu Xian were related to his experience.

Unfortunately, he was not present, but had come to another street in the town, planning to use the attraction between the replica of the Pisces Jade Pendant and the original to attract his future self.

Along the way, many residents wanted to attack him, but none succeeded. Instead, the news spread further and further, and many people knew that the perpetrator of the bombing had returned!

Lu Yanli glanced around at the people around him who were ready to move, and didn’t find the one he wanted to find. He was a little disappointed. He picked up an axe he had snatched from a hardware store and strode away. After running a long distance, he disappeared from everyone’s sight, and the others couldn’t catch up with him.

At this moment, the self from the future that he was looking for was in a house in the town. The future him was carrying an axe, the blade dripping with blood. In front of him, Yu Gaoyi lay on the ground with his eyes wide open, unable to rest in peace.

Lu Yanli from the future casually found a place to wipe off most of the fingerprints and blood stains, threw away the axe, and swaggered out of the building, hiding in other residential buildings.

Now, he was waiting for those people to go to his past self to settle accounts.

“It’s an axe, a fatal blow, the murderer is very skilled.” An investigator concluded after carefully examining the wound.

This conclusion made Lin Chu have a bad guess, and her eyelids twitched.

“Is there any surveillance? Look for it.” Zhuang Ci said.

After everyone searched, they found a few scattered cameras installed in the corners of the building. Most of them were broken, but only one in the corner was still working. They saw a familiar figure leaving from the surveillance, and after zooming in, they could see that there were still some blood stains on him. After searching for a while, they found the discarded axe.

“Lu Yanli?”

Lin Chu didn’t show it on her face, but she was shocked in her heart.

Was it really Lu Yanli? Why did he kill Yu Gaoyi?

In the surveillance, the other party’s collar was pulled up, so he couldn’t see the marks on his neck. Lin Chu couldn’t judge.

“Check again, blood stains including fingerprints, try to find the real killer.” It was generally not done by local residents. They were already crazy enough to hold a celebration ceremony in public after killing people. If it was really a resident, they wouldn’t be so low-key.

Lin Chu knew that Zhuang Ci and others had taken a risk to go to the police station and got the instruments. After several hours of comparison, they finally came to a conclusion.

The fingerprints were indeed Lu Yanli’s, and the blood on the axe did belong to Yu Gaoyi.

However, which Lu Yanli was it?

Wait!

Lin Chu’s eyelids twitched.

She had once revealed to the other party that Yu Gaoyi had photographic memory. Even if his memory was blurred and tampered with now, as long as he was awakened, he would immediately remember all the scenes he had seen.

Thinking of this, Lin Chu’s heartbeat suddenly accelerated for a moment.

Assuming, assuming it was really Lu Yanli, whether it was the current him or the future him, then, what was his reason for killing people?

What did Yu Gaoyi see that he shouldn’t have seen?

Under him was a book soaked in blood.

Lin Chu flipped through the bloodstained book. It was a picture book, with the library’s logo.

This book…

Lin Chu’s eyelids twitched. Wasn’t this book Lu Yanli’s? When he went by the name Jiang Bai, he took it out of the library. It was first taken away by Jiang Yu, and then he took it back. He had been carrying it with him all the time.

Why was this book here?

Could it really be him?

If she looked more carefully or carefully checked the library logo, she might have found that the library logo was also painted on, not printed on. But now the book was soaked in blood, and she wouldn’t bother to check it carefully.

Lu Yanli from the future was in the building opposite them. He occasionally glanced at the opposite side, but did not show up, worried about attracting their attention.

Now Lin Chu could not be completely sure, and perhaps she would have to increase the stakes.

This was his calculation.

He was lying from the beginning, even when facing his future and past selves in this world, he never told the truth.

He had long known that when the world was chaotic, the same time and space allowed multiple same people to exist.

However, when Lin Chu and others used green spores to eliminate the statue, the source of the different world disappeared along with the chaotic rules, they… could only survive one.

He had bewildered several past selves, making them willing to die. He had voluntarily looked into the eyes of his own in this timeline, allowing the future vengeful ghost to parasitize him. This must have given the other two surviving selves an implication that they could cooperate with each other.

Because he knew that as long as the song to summon the dead sounded, the vengeful ghost in his eyes would be attracted to it. It didn’t matter who sang it, as long as the opera troupe was there, that vengeful ghost wouldn’t stay in his eyes for too long.

He also transformed into a vengeful ghost.

They would inevitably meet because of the attraction of the Pisces Jade Pendant. Once they met, they would inevitably fight to the death. This was why he didn’t take the jade pendant from his past self at the beginning.

However, this time the self in this timeline spent too long in the wax museum, and he wasn’t sure if there would be any changes.

He quietly left the room he was in, preparing to carry out the next action.

With Lin Chu’s disposition, even if she determined that it was indeed Lu Yanli who did it, as long as the other party was still useful, she wouldn’t turn against him even if she killed all her teammates.

Therefore, he had to increase the stakes.

At the Culture Festival, the statue appeared. He needed to kill his past self before Lin Chu destroyed the statue.

That way, he could truly survive.
