The skull thinks that even if it loses a whole pair of eyeballs in its entire life, its vision of seeing people and things is still very accurate.
... The only time I misjudged it was when I missed the power of that experiment, which made me fall into such a situation.
But the heroes don’t mention the bravery of the past, the same is true for black history! The skull is very tolerant of its trivial mistakes, at least it didn't completely die in it.
At least for now it's doing pretty well. It's like it only took 0.3 seconds in the morgue to decide to talk about cooperation instead of doing some tricks-it has to use "wise and powerful" to evaluate its decision.
Not to mention, there is that obsessed Chu Renmei for comparison.
Without sincerity, the skull mourned for the other party in his heart for one, two—well, two seconds is enough.
"We've been hanging around here?" it asked.
Although Skull himself still had some lingering fears about the hand he saw in the bathroom, the presence of the one who hung it on the bag obviously gave it a lot of confidence, even a lot of courage, Talking about it at this point is an understatement.
"I drank all the water, it's not the same anywhere."
Lin You said.
At this juncture, there is little advantage in waiting in a cramped apartment.
They—she was alone, to be precise, the bone was attached to the bag, after all—were still walking in the woods.
The bracelet was completely broken, it was clear that there was no room for change. And just like what she said to Skull, she didn't have the slightest fear, rather she was afraid that Chu Renmei would run away.
Now that she is going deep into the mountains, she also has other purposes. Lin You listened carefully to the sound of gurgling water, trying to figure out which direction it was coming from.
Although she saw Chu Renmei appearing in the distance just now, she gave up tracking along the stream and hurried over. But it's not too late to do so now, Lin You could tell that there was water flowing around, as long as you followed along, it would not be difficult to find the pool along the way.
Chu Renmei's body was still at the bottom of the pool.
... In the whole world, she is probably the only one who would think of using the ghost body as a handle.
Lin You picked and picked, and when she passed another dead tree, she stepped on a nearby stone, pushed aside the obstructing branches, and grabbed one of the thickest ones that she could carry.
With a crisp "click", she broke off the branch directly, looking at its sharp section with satisfaction.
Skull head: "...Little, little girl, what are you going to use this for?"
"I didn't want to do anything."
Lin You was smiling, but it made people feel hairy, and the bald skull of the skull felt chilly for a while.
"People don't offend me, I don't offend others," she said, "Just in case, if nothing happens, use it as a crutch."
Skull wisely chooses not to ask what would happen if something happened.
It seems that this sentence should be changed to "ghosts don't attack me" or something, Lin You thought to herself, but it doesn't matter anymore, this is not the point anyway.
She glanced at another small object hanging around her waist, which was also tied to the pull button of the waist bag with a thin rope.
Of course, she couldn't have just made rough preparations with only the branches after she came here. Long before leaving the apartment, Lin You randomly picked a card and put it in the card holder. The CD is halfway through now.
To be honest, she never thought that she would get that card—if you count the time in the dungeon, they haven't seen each other for a long time. The reunion after a long absence is certainly gratifying, but when it comes to dealing with Chu Renmei, Lin You has other ideas. She thinks that she will prefer to use someone to get rid of her first.
The trunks are towering into the sky, and the intersecting branches are mostly covered with large green leaves. As soon as the breeze passed, the leaves of the treetops rustled. It was originally a cloudy day, and the temperature in the forest was even lower by a few degrees.
"Let's talk about something else."
As soon as the gloomy atmosphere came out, even Lin You felt a little uncomfortable in such silence, thought for a while and said, "You don't seem to have said where you are from?"
According to its sparse confession so far, it only knows that it has some tricks, so it can renew its life after being blown up to the bones.
"Oh," the side of the skull hanging on the bag strap was swaying and beating the time, and said casually, "What do you want to ask?"
Lin You: "For example, what happens to people in your place after they die?"
"No no, of course not."
The skull denied it.
"It's just a collateral effect of that experiment, and I'm quite surprised myself. But I can understand it when I think about it, after all, my purpose from the beginning was—"
Meeting Lin You's gaze, it suddenly closed its mouth firmly.
"I can't say it anymore," Skull said vigilantly, "This is an academic secret."
Lin You: "..."
All right, as long as you are happy.
Maybe one day she can think of a trick to pry it out of its mouth, but now is obviously not the right time.
The sound of water is approaching.
During the conversation, Lin You never stopped. She passed one bush after another, and after waving away the branches blocking the way, her eyes suddenly opened up.
The soil on the edge was soaked and wet, and the piled stones were somewhat loose. The water flowing between the rocks is slender, and its water potential is much weaker than that of the brook, but it is much more convenient to find it.
Lin You soon discovered that it was not very wise to cling to it and go up.
One accidentally stepped on a slippery crevice, and at the same time as the dull collision sounded, her entire body lost balance and fell forward following inertia.
Fortunately, Lin You swiftly poked the broken branch into the mud, and quickly supported the tree trunk next to her. The uneven bark hurts the palm of the hand, but it is the best buffer at the moment—it is stable anyway.
Even though there was no wind blowing, she suddenly became colder.
Lin You was taken aback.
Seeing that she didn't say a word for a long time, and didn't show any signs of moving, just let her sink in the mud, the skull couldn't help but say: "...Hi?"
"Recovered?" It tried to call Lin You.
The called person remained silent.
She looked at her hand resting on the tree trunk.
The back of the hand was bluish white, but the fingernails were rotted gray and black as if soaked in water, and the entire palm was swollen more than a circle. She had seen such hands on the toilet seat before - the thought made Lin You uncomfortable.
Chu Renmei attached herself to her.
People who can be cruel often have such a characteristic-they can be harder on themselves. And this principle is also true for Linyou.
The moment she realized this, she reflexively raised the branch she was clutching, and was about to pierce that hand.
Lin You didn't know the specific method to expel Chu Renmei, but this didn't prevent her from awakening her sanity with pain. But just a second before the branch stabbed, she stopped.
"What did you see?" she asked hoarsely.
The skull immediately realized that it was asking it, after all, there was no one else here.
"Me?" It said blankly, "I didn't see anything."
If you ask it to say, what's wrong now is why this guy suddenly wants to pierce himself.
Before she finished speaking, the branch Lin You was holding on to immediately changed its direction.
She stabbed herself hard in the back—or rather, a little higher up. Almost at the same time, Lin You felt the coldness leave her body.
She should have thought of it earlier.
She saw that her hand had become Chu Renmei's, but everything was still the same in the eyes of the skull. This is not real possession at all, but an illusion created by Chu Renmei in her mind.
She pinched the opponent's finger and flushed down the toilet, so of course she was retaliated by Chu Renmei—she wanted to attract Lin You to hurt herself.
And this cold...
Lin You knew it clearly.
It was because Chu Renmei had been lying on her back.
At this moment, the female ghost in blue who had avoided the attack was standing not far away.
Under the wide sleeves of the robe, there are those hands that are all too familiar to Lin You. Her shoulders were drooping, and her waist-length black hair hung down in front of her body, covering her swollen and rotten face.
"... I have a month to know the feeling of grievance..."
The shrill voice came from behind the black hair, lingering in their ears. Chu Renmei twisted her body step by step, walking towards this side.
"Meeting is not easy and separation is easy..."
Skull heard his teeth chattering.
God knows whether it was frightened stupid or brainwashed by the more than ten minutes of radio looping in the bathroom. When it heard the familiar melody again, it answered a sentence by a ghost.
Skull head: "It's all, it's too late to regret now?"
Lin You: "..."
Chu Renmei: "..."
How the hell is there a line grabbing.
It's fine to grab the lines, but the singing is out of tune?
"Keep singing, keep singing," Skull said hurriedly when he finally realized that something was wrong, "Pretend I didn't say anything."
Chu Renmei stopped singing, and viciously parted his long hair, revealing the face underneath.
Her eyes couldn't see the black kernels, they turned white straight up, her pale face and purple-black lips were very swollen.
Chu Renmei twisted her body, staring at them as if covered by a white film. She also drank the pool water, and she obviously hated Lin You who flushed her down the sewer.
"so."
Lin You sighed, "Does it have to kill me today?"
Chu Renmei sneered.
The joints made a "cracking" sound as she moved forward, and even when Lin You opened her mouth, she didn't even stop.
"Okay, one last reminder. If I were you," Lin You said, "I wouldn't lie on someone's back again, and be careful to treat them in the same way."
Chu Renmei: "...?"
Suddenly, she felt a sinking in her waist.
Chu Renmei lowered her head.
The little girl lying on her body, the white dress was stained with blood, holding a big rabbit doll in her arms. Across the puppet, the little girl tightly hugged her waist, poking her head from her armpit.
The red man raised his face, grinned maliciously, and sang at the top of his voice:
"Do you... want to wear a bright red dress...?"
