In Wen Xishu's previous life, there was a world-renowned horror movie.
The ghosts in it were extrely ferocious, almost indiscriminately killing.
Among them was an iconic child who always appeared with a black cat.
He had deep dark circles and skin as white as a wall painted with white paint.
The girl outside the door gave off a similar feeling.
She was even scarier than that ghost child nad Junxiong from Wen Xishu's past life because she had no hair at all.
She just stared at the cara, as if she noticed that the people inside the house were watching her too.
"Sister Xiaoya... open the door! I'm so cold!"
The voice ca again.
This ti, the voice seed to carry a penetrating power, making everyone feel as if the voice was coming from right next to their ears.
Everyone felt a shiver run down their spine.
Everyone was wondering, how terrifying must this ghost be?
But Wen Xishu knew that this ghost wasn't scary and didn't have high cultivation.
This ghost's intelligence wasn't high either.
By comparison, this ghost was too easy to judge as a ghost. Anything too easily judged only makes people feel scared, but it's not truly frightening.
Yet Xiaoya kept shouting:
"Open the door! Please, open the door! Tongtong is not a ghost! She's not a ghost!"
Xiaoya's expression was filled with pain and sadness.
"Sister Xiaoya... have you forgotten ..."
The childish voice carried a hint of sorrow.
Everyone listened to the voice, feeling it was almost echoing.
They all felt like the surroundings were getting colder.
Xiaoya pleaded:
"She's not a ghost... she won't harm us, open the door!"
Zhang Qiang raised his gun, aiming it at Xiaoya:
"Damn, you damned woman, you got possessed by a damn ghost, right? This must be a possession by a ghost, right?"
"I get it, that ghost's eyes and nose appeared on you, you're already half-human, half-ghost, and you want to let the ghost in and kill us!"
Quite logical.
When everyone believes it's a ghost and the evidence is practically conclusive, soone shouting that it's not a ghost...
That's really suspicious.
Plus, since Xiaoya had just been invaded by the Water Ghost, it was likely the ghost was seeking a replacent.
So this speculation made sense.
But Wen Xishu still reminded everyone:
"Our primary goal is to survive, which ans not letting the living outside die and not letting the ghost inside."
"This requires us to judge whether the person outside is human or a ghost, and for everyone to agree on the judgnt."
"But that doesn't an there are no other dangers."
"For example, killing one of our own, Officer Zhang, I must remind you, you can kill Xiaoya, but today is Ghost Festival."
"I think even if you're a materialistic warrior, you should understand by now, we've all seen a ghost tonight."
"If you kill Xiaoya, will it anger the Water Ghost in the corner? Will it make Xiaoya turn into a new ghost?"
The process of the Water Ghost seeking a replacent in Xiaoya might be stopped.
Wen Xishu now faced the choice of helping humans or ghosts.
His thinking was simple—
If the ghost is good, I'll help the ghost; if people are good, I'll help people.
Perhaps just by calming the Water Ghost's resentnt in the corner, it would stop seeking replacents.
After all, this place was constructed from human and dead souls' obsessions, the Land of Obsession.
Calm the obsessions, and everything would be fine.
Zhang Qiang was absolutely not a good person. Wen Xishu could already determine that. What kind of officer would be so quick to shoot and kill people?
Xiaoya gratefully glanced at Wen Xishu, but the next second, she imdiately picked up a blue goblet, ready to drink it all up.
Wen Xishu reacted quickly, as if he guessed Xiaoya would do this.
In an instant, he rushed to Xiaoya's side and held her down:
"Sorry, Xiaoya, you can't do this."
This ga was still very difficult.
Wen Xishu saw through it.
Everyone had a story, and even if he correctly judged whether the outside was human or ghost and figured out the rules...
When there was so story between the ghosts and humans outside, people might take so extre actions.
For example, in the previous round, the existence outside was truly a human, but Zhang Qiang forcibly said the person outside was a ghost to hide a secret.
For example, this round, everyone knew the outside was a ghost, but Xiaoya seed to insist the outside was human to make up for so guilt.
In such situations, he must not only judge whether the outside is human or ghost but also keep an eye on every character to prevent them from making irrational decisions due to past issues.
It's indeed difficult.
But Wen Xishu had the Bullet Screen, which was advantageous, allowing him to see the content of the bullet screen when the other party had extre emotions.
Just like Xiaoya at this mont, in extre pain.
When Wen Xishu grasped Xiaoya's wrist, he saw the bullet screen above Xiaoya's head...
He instantly understood what the "First Obsession" was all about.
...
...
Tongtong was a girl, battling leukemia, suffering greatly as the illness worsened in its later stages.
Tongtong was very lovable, but the treatnt gradually made her look frightening.
The hospital was a place full of strange tales.
Can you imagine, in the middle of the night, at the hospital, suddenly seeing a child, pale all over, horrifyingly white, at the corner of a ward?
Tongtong hated this situation, not wanting to endure the suffering caused by the illness, nor did she want to be disliked.
She didn't want to be the monster people spoke of in the hospital.
Later, the dical expenses beca too high, and her parents couldn't afford them anymore.
One ti, Tongtong even overheard this sentence.
"If... if only she hadn't been born."
Yes, if only I didn't exist.
This sentence made the little girl realize how much of a burden she truly was. Probably the only person still caring about her in this world was the nurse, Xiaoya.
