Xie Chi was silent for a few seconds: "So the game rules say that the scope of hide and seek is 'the area where the entire glass maze is located', and this area also includes the mirror world where the strong ghost is, right?"
According to the rules of the game, the mirror world is also included in the scope of hide and seek.
The area in the hide-and-seek range refers to the area of the glass maze, and the mirror is also in the glass maze. The mirror world just has extra volume in the mirror that belongs to the glass maze.
Two ghosts play hide and seek with him, he is in the real world, one ghost is in the real world, and one ghost is in the mirror, which is not against the rules of the game.
The doubt about the scope of hide and seek further proves that the ghost is in the mirror, otherwise the app will directly tell him that the scope of hide and seek is the "glass maze", not "the whole area of the glass maze", he is not the first time he encountered the app Word games are over. Based on the principle of being concise and never repeating the details, the app does not deceive or mislead actors, but it can play word games. Of course, word games are based on the premise of giving rigorous information.
It's like in the first copy, the app said "can't attack a pregnant female boss", but if the boss is not pregnant, this restriction does not exist.
This time I specifically mentioned that the scope of hide-and-seek is the area where the whole glass maze is located, which means that there must be other places besides the whole glass maze.
It's like "there is only one ghost brought by the doll", it's not that the ghost brought by the doll has it or not, but I deliberately say that there is only one ghost brought by the doll, which actually implies that there may be other ghosts in the short film. ghost. If there is really only one ghost, the app directly tells him that there is only one ghost in the short film. Doesn't that mean that there is something else that brings ghosts
Like this kind of word game, the stronger the mindset of the actor, the easier it is to be fooled. If you change your thinking a little, in fact, the word game of the app will not only achieve the purpose of hiding information, but also expose some key information, which is inevitable. After all, the contradiction is eternal, the hidden back is exposed, and the more deliberately concealed, the easier it will be exposed.
Xie Xinglan suddenly said: "The strong ghost is in the mirror, and the strong ghost is the mirror image of the weak ghost."
Xie Chi just figured this out.
Only this can explain why they have come in for so long and have not found the existence of strong ghosts.
Strong ghosts are mirror images of weak ghosts.
No matter whether they are pushing forward or pushing back, there is only one possibility—they are playing hide-and-seek with two ghosts, one in the real world and the other in the mirror world. The strong ghost in the mirror world is the mirror image of the weak ghost in the real world.
The strong ghost hides in the countless mirror images of the weak ghost, which is its safest hiding place. When they just came in, they would never think that among the countless mirror images of the weak ghost, there is one mirror image that does not belong to the weak ghost.
This conclusion, in addition to the above hints, there are actually other subtle hints - for example, the name of the owner of the live broadcast room is "Sister Sadako's Sister Sayaka", there are two names in this name, among them "Sadako" He's still a famous ghost, as if he's afraid he doesn't know. This already implied that they were playing hide-and-seek with two ghosts.
In addition, the name of the boss also contains the words of sister and sister. In life, the similarity of the appearance of relatives and sisters will be relatively high. This may be a hint that strong ghosts and weak ghosts look alike. The implication is that strong ghosts are The mirror image of the weak ghost.
At the moment when Xie Chi's mind flashed, Xie Xinglan said coldly: "Then I smashed all the glass."
Since the strong ghost is in the mirror world, as long as he smashes all the glass, the strong ghost loses its host and naturally cannot pose a threat to them.
His hand was already clenched into a fist, and he was about to smash the glass with his fist in the next second. A terrible thought suddenly flashed in Xie Chi's mind, and he immediately stopped him: "Don't!"
Xie Xinglan held back his hand, and doubts flashed in his eyes.
Xie Chi's heart skipped a beat: "Brother, the clue is 'smart is mistaken by cleverness', have you ever thought about the ending of breaking the glass?"
Xie Xinglan's face sank: "The mirror world is connected to the real world?"
"No," Xie Chi shook his head, "The mirror world is equivalent to a parallel world. Strong ghosts live in that world and have no intersection with our world. In a parallel world, in the same time and space, there will only be one me. This is order. So Even if the glass is broken, it will not come to the real world, and of course he will not die, it still lives in that world, the mirror is just a medium for us to spy on it, it spy on us, as if you covered your ears with your hands , the sound is inaudible, but the sound still exists objectively, and we simply cannot kill it through the medium of destruction."
Xie Xinglan's face was ugly.
"Ghosts can disguise themselves as weak ghosts in the real world, travel in the mirror, and kill people in the real world. This is his special ability as a ghost, but while he has the ability, he is inevitably restricted by rules. , Have you ever wondered why he didn't just run out of the mirror and kill us, isn't that the most convenient way? Once and for all."
Xie Chi laughed: "Because it simply can't."
"Everything has order. Even if it travels through the mirror, it is most likely to be part of the body. It must not emerge from the mirror as a whole, because this destroys the order and breaks away from the world to which it belongs. If it is only a part of the body. Traveling through two time-spaces, it still belongs to the time-space where it is located, and does not violate the order, but it cannot completely come to this world.”
"The mirror is its invincible medium and the medium that limits its movement, which is also a contradiction."
"I guess it killed the fat man. It should have stretched out some limbs and dragged him in, but if she can't reach the fat man with her limbs stretched to the limit, she can't kill the fat man."
"As for why not smash the glass—"
Xie Chi asked, "Brother, how many faces are there in the glass maze?"
Xie Xinglan said without hesitation, "1477 face."
Xie Chi laughed: "It's broken, how many sides are there?"
Xie Xinglan felt a chill in his heart and his face suddenly sank.
Now it's 1477, and if it's smashed, it's... countless. No matter how small the glass slag is, it is the medium of the strong ghost. Even if the glass slag is so small that it can only be seen by a microscope, it cannot change the nature of its mirror.
If the mirror is the medium of the strong ghost, it has only 1477 media. According to Xie Chi, he only needs to find a way to hide the distance where the strong ghost cannot reach him. Once the glass is smashed, he is doomed to death. There is no burial place, because the glass slag everywhere is the medium of strong ghosts.
The more media there are, the less space for him to live. This is also a contradiction.
Xie Chi said: "We don't have anything to cover the mirror and change the nature of its medium at all, so we can't avoid it. We can't destroy the mirror, otherwise it will be clever but mistaken by cleverness. This is the hint of clues."
Xie Chi now seems to understand a little bit of what the clue "smart but misunderstood by cleverness" is implying - all decisions made in the mind set may be wrong. At first glance, they seem smart, but they are actually stupid, but he just needs to pause for a moment and think about it carefully. , it will take a turn for the worse.
Xie Chi looked at the weak ghost kneeling on the mirror, and didn't understand the meaning of her action.
"Brother, we heard screams, the fat man should have been killed by a strong ghost and dragged his body into the mirror. The question now is, why did the fat man die, but the weak ghost knelt down silently, her hair was covered, I see I don't have a face, I don't know what her expressions are, and I can't understand her emotions intuitively, but her actions always make me feel deeply... Regret, yes, it's the word, regret, to say it deeply, a kind of loss A huge sense of powerlessness.”
Xie Xinglan frowned: "I also think there is a problem. If the weak ghost and the strong ghost are purely competitive, then the strong ghost robbed the weak ghost's prey, and the weak ghost should be angry instead of kneeling in silence."
Xie Chi said: "Kneeling even makes me think that she doesn't really want Fatty to die."
Xie Xinglan said: "Let's put this question aside. In fact, I have always had doubts. Xiaochi, you call this kneeling ghost a weak ghost. I don't think it is appropriate. You can change the name."
"what?"
Xie Xinglan spoke clearly: "People."
Xie Chi was startled and woke up instantly.
Xie Xinglan said: "From my perspective, she currently does not reveal any ability as a ghost, teleportation, penetration through walls, perspective, and heaven and earth, all of which she can't, she will be deceived by her own vision— Even though Fatty is close at hand, she easily misses it, she even makes footsteps when chasing people, like you said, she actually has a feeling of 'remorse' like a human being, she is almost no different from a person."
"Xiaochi, she should be familiar with the maze map, but as I said just now, when I know the map well, I can guarantee that my running speed is more than twice her speed, she is the chasing speed of a normal woman, she is completely a normal woman."
Xie Chi understood what he meant: "You mean to say that she is indeed a ghost brought by the doll, because we have also seen the scene where the doll became her, but other than that she was brought by the doll, she has no ghosts. It's the same as human beings, right?"
"Yes," Xie Xinglan said truthfully, "she is too weak, weak like a ghost."
Xie Chi suddenly had an extremely rough idea in his mind and said, "Brother, she... looks like a person with a 'ghost identity'."
"Huh?" Xie Xinglan's heart tightened.
Xie Chi's words are extremely cautious: "She is like a 'person' who has a 'ghost identity' who 'plays' a ghost in our hide-and-seek game. In fact, jump out and see, this hide-and-seek game, if there is no strong sense in the mirror Ghosts, the game between us and weak ghosts is no different from most hide-and-seek games in the real world. Several people play the person to be sought, and one plays the ghost. The strength is similar or not far behind, and there is no special ability. It's just that our game location is in the glass maze."
Xie Xinglang hummed, frowning.
ghost identity...
Xie Chi felt that it was still a little short, and he was about to see something very important.
The mirror showed that the weak ghost had stood up, and she started a new round of chasing.
Xie Xinglan was not far from the weak ghost because he was chasing the female ghost, but now the weak ghost's footsteps are approaching, one after another.
Xie Xinglan said: "She will not threaten me anymore."
"I know." Xie Chi said.
Their biggest danger now is the strong ghost in the mirror. Even if they predict the abilities and limitations of the strong ghost, it still cannot change the fact that it is a great threat, and the weak ghost can no longer pose a threat to them.
The footsteps of the weak ghost became louder and louder. Xie Xinglan knew the map of the maze clearly and said, "She still has a fork in the road from us. Are we still far away from her?"
Xie Chi hesitated on this issue for the first time. Do you want to follow the rules to stay away from weak ghosts
In terms of rules, when they clap their hands to contain the strong ghost, the weak ghost will hear the sound and chase after them, causing them trouble. Of course, they should stay as far away from the weak ghost as possible, which will reduce the difficulty of escape. After all, dealing with a strong ghost The pressure is already great, and they have to be distracted to take care of the weak ghosts who may be chasing at any time, which is too unfavorable for them.
But for some reason, his heart was vaguely uneasy, and the ominous premonition gradually rose.
"Let's not get too far from her, but not too close." Xie Chi could only choose a conservative answer in the end.
Before any new clues appear, he can't make too extreme decisions, which is very likely to make the ending irreversible.
"Okay." Xie Xinglan didn't say much, he didn't even move in place, he just deliberately adjusted his standing angle so that his mirror image on the mirror looked very far away.
The weak ghost was successfully deceived and passed them on the fork in the road. Xie Xinglan was almost under her nose, but she walked straight over.
This is Xie Chi's first close encounter with a weak ghost.
The weak ghost's skin is very white, but not as pale as a ghost. She is indeed wearing a white skirt, but there is no blood on the skirt. Her long black hair covers her face, but her hair is not wet. She is really too human, the only thing that doesn't look like a human is... the scissors in her hand.
The whole body of the scissors is red, dazzling red, like blood, the blade is silvery, extremely sharp, like a murder weapon that has been stained with many people's blood, people can't help but think of Sleeping Beauty's story that put Sleeping Beauty into a deep sleep It seems that anyone who touches that evil spindle will forever fall into a vicious curse, can't escape, can't escape, and get lost in a nightmare.
Just like this mirror labyrinth itself, weak ghosts search day after day in it, even though they are ghosts, although they are familiar with the map, they still can’t find their prey, and they will still get lost, going around endlessly.
It seems that hide-and-seek is also a terrifying nightmare for weak ghosts chasing their prey.
The weak ghost's footsteps were getting farther and farther away, Xie Xing disappeared the footsteps and approached the direction she was leaving, keeping a short distance.
"Brother, give me some more time." Xie Chi felt that he was only one step away from something, but it was difficult to pierce it for a while. Ghosts generally don't kill people intensively, and Fatty's death bought them a short safety time, but once the safety time passed, they would be greeted with more violent attacks from strong ghosts.
"Okay." Xie Xinglan didn't say much.
Realizing that the strong ghost might reach out to grab him from the mirror or bite him with a probe at any time, Xie Xinglan stared at the mirror image of the female ghost in every mirror. React.
Each passage in the glass maze was extremely narrow, as if it was deliberately designed like this. Xie Xinglan stretched out his arm to measure it. The passage was only a little wider than his arm. This length was not enough to attract their attention, but now Looking back, I was terrified.
This length is undoubtedly convenient for strong ghosts to reach out and grab people from the mirror.
Behind Xie Xinglan, the image of the weak ghost is quietly expanding.
There was a chill on his back, Xie Xinglan turned back immediately and saw the strong ghost on the mirror!
The strong ghost slowly raised his head, the long black hair covering his face slipped, revealing a ferociously twisted face!
There were still tears on Qiang Gui's face, and he stretched out his pale hand towards Xie Xinglan.
In the narrow aisle, Xie Xinglan was almost unavoidable.
The moment it was about to reach Xie Xinglan, Xie Xinglan ducked sideways.
The next second, a ghost hand stretched out from the mirror beside him. Xie Xinglan knew the consequences of being caught, so he quickly retreated, and his back was forced to stick to the mirror behind him.
The ghost hand in front of him grabbed the air, but behind Xie Xinglan, there was a piercing coldness.
Ghosts are everywhere. As long as there is glass or mirror surface, it can immediately change to another glass as soon as it misses the air. It is everywhere, and there is nowhere to hide. Xie Xinglan can only dodge hard and dangerous again and again.
Xie Xinglan sprinted forward, shuttled fast in the green light and shadow, an arm stretched out across the sky blocking his way, and his five fingers stirred like spider legs. run in the direction.
Suddenly, a head protruded from the bottom of the mirror, blood-red lips opened, and a mouth of white fangs burst out, as if it would bite Xie Xinglan's ankle in the next second.
It seemed to be impatient, and was about to stretch out most of its body from the mirror and drag Xie Xinglan into the mirror. It quickly climbed towards Xie Xinglan.
There is a dead end behind, Xie Xinglan reacted very quickly, jumping over the body that was blocking the way by the ghost.
He was timid, even distracted to control his strength, so that any of his actions would not break the glass.
[I rely on too hard to play a fart! ! It's so narrow! ! Can't break glass yet! ]
After holding on for a minute, Xie Xinglan finally used the first clap.
The ghost suddenly retracted into the mirror.
Ten seconds, only ten seconds.
Xie Chi's thoughts flashed.
Clap your hands to attract weak ghosts, and clap your hands to hold strong ghosts. There are two antonyms here.
Containment corresponds to promotion, and weak corresponds to strong.
From the beginning of the short film to the present, there are countless contradictions and countless pairs of antonyms.
Mirror images correspond to reality.
The hidden counterpart of wordplay is exposed.
The invincibility of the medium corresponds to the limitation of the medium.
The destruction of the mirror corresponds to the rebirth of the strong ghost.
Demons correspond to...
Xie Chi was horrified.
The evil ghosts of the mirror world correspond to the good ghosts of the real world!
That weeping weak ghost is most likely good!
The opposite rule!
Hide and seek, catch and hide are antonyms!
Hide and seek in the mirror world is a strong ghost to catch the prey, if the rules are reversed, then the correct order in the real world is...
Xie Chi suffered a cardiac arrest.
The correct rule in the real world is... the prey catches the weak.
This is also hide and seek! Hide and seek, who catches who hides
The rules refer to hide-and-seek that the strong ghosts of the mirror world catch them, but the other half of the opposite real world rules are also hidden in it - they catch the weak ghosts!
... It happens that the weak ghost is likely to be good. The strong ghost showed his true face just now, and there were tears on his face, indicating that the weak ghost cried before! Why do weak ghosts cry? It is likely to be good! It is very likely that she wanted to save Fatty, but Fatty was killed by a strong ghost!
… just clapping to attract weak ghosts, attracting vitality.
The owner of the live broadcast room did not answer him, what would happen if he was caught by a ghost, he thought it was death.
But the clue is... Cleverness is mistaken for cleverness.
The rules of the game never told him that if he was caught by a weak ghost, he would die.
It is very likely that... Vitality is clearly wandering in front of them again and again, but cleverness pushes it away again and again.
"Brother, go and catch the weak ghost!" Xie Chi roared.
Between the light and flint, Xie Xinglan also reacted and ran in the direction of the weak ghost.
Luckily they weren't far away, and fortunately they had two more phone shots.
Xie Chi was thinking of another thing.
The weak ghost has a scissors weapon in his hand.
If the rules are reversed, then lethal weapons correspond to...
To save people from the danger of life.
