Bai Wu turned around unhurriedly.
"Belief begets reality, truly a rule twisted to the extre, but this rule also has a benefit, I don’t need to find irrefutable evidence, as long as I have no doubts in my heart and truly believe in sothing, you will appear."
Without any fear, Bai Wu looked at the little girl’s sinister eyes and felt no tension whatsoever.
"There are five more supernatural tales waiting for to deal with, I’m short on ti, so you better tell now, you once did sothing wrong, what exactly was that thing?"
The little girl’s resentful and evil eyes suddenly took on a strange expression.
Because it didn’t see a fearful human, instead, it saw a person who was calm, smiling, and holding an axe in their hand.
It had thought it wouldn’t be the first to appear, that the dead child that could only be seen when looking up would be.
But that simple riddle was always made complex by people.
And itself, the riddle that was supposed to be the most difficult to solve, was unexpectedly figured out by soone.
The situation beca very delicate.
"Weird," "supernatural tale," "bizarre," it seed that as long as one faced these things and felt calm from the bottom of their heart, it was their turn to be perplexed.
The puzzles of this world are all like this, once they are solved, they seem to beco completely trivial.
There were no three traffickers, the real trafficker was the little girl who seed most likely to be a victim in people’s eyes.
Once this layer was understood, the whole story beca bland, and Bai Wu just wanted to leave quickly and find other puzzles.
But the supernatural tale itself seed not to have noticed the disparity yet, its pupils emitting a strange purple light, and the white clothes on its body slowly enveloped in a layer of purple mist.
The temperature around dropped seven or eight degrees in an instant, it glared fiercely at Bai Wu, hair growing unceasingly longer, a terrifying scene very much like the Inner World of Zao Lake Village.
But Bai Wu had already "ca, saw, and conquered" that place, and not only did he feel no fear in front of this scene, he even felt a bit amused.
So Bai Wu aid the axe at the little girl:
"Child’s play, showing off before an expert, I knew at first glance you were not human."
It indeed was not a human. Bai Wu noticed two things, there were footsteps outside the door.
And the little girl’s gaze was always looking straight ahead, presumably right at his waist.
Not once did she look up.
A surge of information flooded in, and Bai Wu faintly thought of sothing.
"If there is a half-hybrid form of humans and Evil Fallen in this world, then it is a half-hybrid form of Evil Fallen and desire.
The people living here yearn for protection, for the ability to live on without persecution by Brute Strength. But guess why this girl beca evil, liked to play tricks on people around her, and caused mutual suspicion and hatred? A friendly hint—the focus is on the geographical location.
Finally, the characteristic of the Semi-Evil Fallen is that they can use both human and Evil Fallen powers, and maintain a perfect form. Likewise, a half-desire, half-Evil Fallen also has a characteristic. Eliminate its desire, and you will get a nice, changeable ’Enchantnt’ attribute."
The information from the remarks made Bai Wu realize that he had actually guessed wrong; the young girl turned out not to be one of those legal lolis who only look petite but are in fact quite old.
It was a new species he had never seen before.
Half Evil Fallen, half a kind of desire? What then is the characteristic of a half-desire, half-Evil Fallen?
The eyes showed no indication of mutation level and entries, obviously none of that mattered because he had made the discovery early enough, triggering "Belief begets reality" prematurely, so that the opponent’s strength had not yet beco a threat to him.
The current Bai Wu, was not at all a weakling driven by supernatural tales, on the contrary, it was these supernatural tales that should fear him.
"Little Girl" twirled nurous strands of hair, causing terror among the residents of the 700-year-old apartnt, allowing these supernatural tales to feast on a wealth of grudges and negative emotions.
In an instant, endless hair ford a black nightmare domain.
Bai Wu looked at everything, all too familiar, practically a miniature of Zao Lake Village.
His solution was simple, purify this place with truth!
The axe viciously chopped through the black hair at an incredibly fast speed, the terrifying edge of the blade marked the "Little Girl’s" face with slash after slash!
It looked at Bai Wu in horror, ready to flee the room, but then it thought of sothing and ultimately did not leave, instead, it closed the door.
At this mont, Bai Wu also knew the good intention that went wrong.
"Interesting, because you discovered the rule of ’believing is having,’ and even exploited it to create a tale, but those who play with rules are also bound by them," Bai Wu said.
The hair couldn’t entangle fast enough to keep up with the speed at which Bai Wu swung his axe.
The Little Girl found it unbelievable, what kind of monster was this? Was this man a new supernatural tale?
The current supernatural tale looking at Bai Wu was like Bai Wu looking at Wu Jiu back then, with speeds too fast to comprehend.
Although the Angel Envoy was in a period where she couldn’t initiate overclock mode, Bai Wu’s own strength was already formidable against such a domain.
"A good intentioned mistake, if used on a good person, ans that the person, out of so kindness, made a mistake that went against their wishes. But if the person is evil, then a good intentioned mistake ans they intended to do evil but ended up doing a good deed instead," Bai Wu continued.
"You are a monster ford after desires materialized, so families wishing for a daughter, young girls wishing for a friend, and people seeking protection and blessings would encounter you."
"But ironically, because this place is close to Baichuan Middle School, and the school had a major disaster outbreak 700 years ago, the Fusion Illness swept through the entire school and affected this area close to it. Thus, every desire was ’sought but not obtained.’"
While deciphering the riddles from Prayle’s Eye, Bai Wu guessed most of them, and when it ntioned this key information regarding location, he knew.
This apartnt built next to Baichuan Middle School had also been affected by the Fusion Illness that Jiang Yimi caused.
Hence, every desire turned into its opposite. Bai Wu went on to say:
"You don’t want to be the daughter of a family of three, you even want to destroy it. You don’t want to be friends with those little girls, you even want to persecute them. You don’t want to protect this apartnt; you wish for it to be enveloped by various tales. Right?"
As Bai Wu cleared the surrounding hair, he laid out his analysis until the speed at which the hair grew visibly slowed down, and the footsteps outside the door beca clearer as if pacing back and forth.
"I guess the monster you created is right outside the door... It exists in your diary, and after you committed suicide, many people believed in this monster. Belief becos reality, and thus a monster capable of aiding people in murder appeared."
"But the misfortune of Baichuan Middle School caused a problem for the monster born from this belief; ’sought but not obtained,’ it won’t help you kill, but like you, will act contrary to its desires, thus it turned into an existence coming to kill you."
The hair finally stopped.
The black hair barrier that ford the nightmare began to peel away, and the Little Girl’s gaze was filled with fear.
It really wondered, was this man wielding an axe not a tenant, but a new supernatural tale?
How did he know so much about its own experiences?
Bai Wu approached the Little Girl with a smile, and she even forgot to retreat; of course, she had nowhere to retreat to.
"Let guess, those little girls, you hid them inside the walls? This task is hard for people to do, since hiding in the walls is ti-consuming and strenuous. It also makes a lot of noise, but perhaps it’s related to your abilities, and you find these tasks easy to do," Bai Wu speculated.
No response; fear was already apparent in the opponent’s eyes.
Bai Wu was not in a hurry:
"If you don’t tell , I might just open the door. The good-intentioned mistake you made should be just outside."
This sentence clearly frightened the ghost story, but Bai Wu had more shocking news to reveal:
"You never look up, at most daring only to look straight ahead, is it because if you do look up, you’ll see so bizarre presence?"
"Can you describe what it looks like? After all, I can’t see it when I look up because there are too few clues. Give a vivid description, let’s see it together."
Crazy.
This person is definitely insane.
The little girl is now extrely scared. I’m supposed to be the ghost story, and this person is just human!
"Forget it, if you really won’t talk, I’ll have to deal with both you and the one outside the door together."
Bai Wu looked up, the ceiling was empty.
"As for the other one, it seems we need to find enough clues to apply the rule of ’believing brings existence’ to make it appear."
Bai Wu kicked the little girl out of the way and then cleanly opened the door.
Outside the door, there appeared a "murderer" whose burly figure was wrapped in various talismans.
The reason for being covered in talismans was because, in later people’s imagination, this was an evil spirit.
As the tenant in apartnt 1-9 started to reinforce the door and explain their logic, more and more people believed that randomly stopping on a floor in the elevator ant that soone on that floor would receive an evil spirit’s invitation to kill soone else.
Passed down by word of mouth, it appeared in this form.
But as Bai Wu ntioned earlier, due to the rule being perverted from desire unattained, it beca whoever wants to kill, it would kill them instead.
So the elevator murderer, although a ghost story, is actually a ghost story against other ghost stories.
The little girl who first created it beca the very existence it has always wanted to kill.
Bai Wu invited the adversary into the room. Then very politely closed the door.
"If you don’t speak up, you will die."
A fight between ghost stories, how novel. No wonder it’s said that ghost stories are interrelated; Bai Wu hadn’t expected it to be this kind of connection at first.
The elevator murderer, covered in talismans, took steps closer to the little girl.
Although Bai Wu coveted the certain power that eyes spoke of, facing such evilness, if subduing it proved too difficult, he would choose to just kill it, once and for all.
Luckily, this ghost story knew the score. As the elevator murderer got close, it finally began to plead for rcy:
"Save ! Save ! I don’t want to die!"
One being overcos another; those talismans in people’s imaginings could suppress the elevator murderer, but the rules of this place were the opposite. So, far from restraining it, they actually helped it suppress other ghost stories.
[The little lady is a product of the apartnt residents’ desire for a Guardian, but it is not a Guardian, it’s a pure destroyer.
Ironically, what it created is most like a Guardian. It appears on the floor where soone harbors a murderous intent to kill that person. This ironically made the apartnt safe for a ti.
Had ghost stories not sprung up in succession, it would have almost played the role of a Guardian.
It is also the product of half-desire and half-Semi-Evil Fallen; it always wants to expel other ghost stories, helping it fulfill this wish. Although it is just a level six mutant and very weak, if you eliminate its desire, it will also beco one of your tools.
Moreover, although their desires were initially different, they have eventually beco unified.]
Bai Wu realized, the ghost stories of this building are all treasures.
Is there a way to not only banish other supernatural tales but also make them serve you?
It seems there is, judging from the information in the note, these beings, half desire, half Evil Fallen, if the part connoting desire is satisfied—they’d likely attach themselves to the person who fulfilled their wish.
Thinking of this, Bai Wu suddenly appeared between the Elevator Killer Specter and the Human Trafficker Specter.
The Elevator Killer Specter naturally didn’t want to let the little girl go. It threw a punch, but Bai Wu caught it firmly.
With such fighting power, Bai Wu did not expect these specters to be of much aid in strength, but luckily they seed to have other derivative uses, a prospect he found quite exciting.
By firmly gripping the perpetrator’s fist, preventing any movent, Bai Wu once again gave the little girl a sense of absurdity—this human was the true supernatural tale.
"You want to kill it, right? And you, you don’t want to die here, do you?"
Bai Wu was like an arbitrator.
Once the Elevator Killer Specter realized the disparity in power, it finally spoke up, its voice heavy and muffled:
"I, kill, it."
"Alright, I understand what you an," Bai Wu nodded, and then turned to the little girl.
As one of the supernatural tales, the little girl at this mont looked like a genuinely frightened child with no trace of malice in her eyes:
"Sir... save ! I don’t want to die!"
"You see, isn’t this a dilemma? One of you wants to kill, and the other doesn’t want to die. Whom should I help?"
Bai Wu was delighted with the current situation; it was like a winning hand.
The two specters, having appeared too early and being too weak, were completely under his control.
Bai Wu turned his head, looking at the hulking figure covered in talismans:
"Is your true desire to banish all the other specters?"
"Yes."
"Easy to say, I promise you, I will help you banish all the specters. But you’ll have to do it my way."
Power determined the weight of one’s words, and the Elevator Killer Specter, as one of the specters, had no choice but to agree with Bai Wu.
So Bai Wu tentatively released the fist he was holding, and the killer indeed didn’t act rashly. Bai Wu was satisfied, then turned to the little girl:
"And you? Your greatest desire is probably the sa, isn’t it? To drive them all out of this apartnt."
The little girl nodded.
Actually, Bai Wu already knew that the little girl, as an evil entity, initially desired to see all the residents of the apartnt die amidst negative emotions.
In the Supernatural Tale Apartnt, particularly in a place like Baichuan City, it was unrealistic for ordinary people from seven hundred years ago to survive. Hence, as this desire faded, the creation of the Elevator Killer Specter spawned another desire for her.
As the number of supernatural tales increased, these desires gradually began to change.
He rembered the note ntioned, "Their desires might have been different at first, but they eventually beca uniform."
This ant that over seven hundred years, with the tenants dying one after the other, these six beings—half desire, half Evil Fallen, all created by different beliefs—ultimately all shared a uniform, unattainable wish: to banish the other specters.
Just then, as if the wish for realization ca true, Mr. Bai entered the picture.
"Since the wish of all six specters is to have the others banished, if I turn you all into my darlings and take you away from this apartnt, wouldn’t that perfectly fulfill the mission?"
