Synopsis 1:
Once upon a time, there was a system. Later, it chose a host, and thus began a pat...
Four Corners Game (9)
Ten minutes ago.
In the blink of an eye, He Guang was still standing in the dark open space. The body possessed by Alin fell at his feet. He had been dead for a long time. His eyes were staring at the sky with lifeless eyes, and his face was frozen with an expression of fear.
He Guang stroked his open eyes, and the next moment the body turned into a pile of ashes.
"He didn't even leave a body behind... System-kun."
"It looks like there will be another missing persons case."
The system comforted him, "Host, don't be sad. Beating up this evil ghost is also considered revenge for this classmate."
"Yeah." He Guang responded, and a wisp of black smoke was seen floating out from the ashes.
The system quickly reminded, "Host, use the magic-sealing camera quickly."
He Guang picked up his cell phone, called up the thing called the Demon-Sealing Camera from the five-piece exorcism set, and took a picture of the corpse.
There was a flash of silver light, and He Guang seemed to hear a scream, and then a photo fell to the ground as lightly as an autumn leaf.
He Guang picked up the photo and took a look at it. In the photo, Alin was staring at her with a hideous face and unwillingness.
He Guang casually stuffed the photo into his pocket and said, "Is this all right? Do I need to burn the photo?"
"Of course you can," the system said, "but I suggest that the host keep it. This evil ghost can block the attacks of its own kind for the host, and the two can offset each other, which can be regarded as a punishment for him. After all, your world does not have the setting of the underworld. To be honest, this setting is really too bad."
The weak ones return to the invisible world, while the strong ones commit many evil deeds. It would be strange if there were no problems in a world with such a setting.
"Well, this is indeed a good suggestion. Weak souls cannot take revenge on you, but the living can continue to torture you." He Guang smiled happily as he looked at the photo, "Okay, let's go back to the library."
【incredible】
[It's gone just like that]
[The ghost was dealt with by the anchor]
[Different from the traditional ghost hunting live broadcasts I watched before]
"Times have changed," the system said, "and the way to catch ghosts has also changed. The host is not an expert, so guys, please bear with me."
[This is not a question of whether you are good or not]
[This is a question of style]
The door of the library was ajar, and it still looked eerie and depressing.
However, the impact of this atmosphere on He Guang was almost negligible. The chill in the air, which she cared more about, dissipated a lot of this situation.
The light suddenly came on, and a little light streamed out.
The door was gently opened, and Mo Liuying stood at the door against the light, her expression unclear.
"Who are you?"
"You sound like a righteous protagonist questioning an evil villain." He Guang waved his hand, "Don't be so nervous. I can't always allow you to set fires but not allow me to light lamps."
Mo Liuying frowned slightly, "Aren't you He Guang?"
"You are not Mo Liuying either, are you?" He Guang's tone became flat, almost without any ups and downs.
Mo Liuying neither admitted nor denied it. Her expression did not change, but her trembling eyelashes revealed her inner struggle.
The two people seemed to be in a silent duel.
After a moment, Mo Liuying raised her head, "What do you want to do?"
"I have no interest in slaughtering the weak." He Guang said calmly. Although she was standing lower than Mo Liuying, she gave people a sense of condescending pity.
"I am here to send you away. You should have your own place to go."
"The place we should go..." Mo Liuying muttered to herself in confusion. Suddenly, her expression was shocked again, "You...are you the messenger from the underworld? But why did you come here only now?"
"The way of heaven has collapsed, and the passage between hell and the human world was destroyed decades ago." He Guang said solemnly, "My journey to the human world has been difficult, and now that I am attached to this little girl, I cannot stay for too long."
She sighed softly, "I'm also very sorry for what happened to you."
Mo Liuying was silent for a while, then took a step back to make way for the door, "Master Envoy, please come in and talk!"
He Guang followed Mo Liuying into the house.
"Host, you..."
The system, which had been silent for a long time, finally couldn't help but ask, "Oh, my host, can you tell me why you pretended to be a staff member of the underworld?"
He Guang did not answer, but straightened his back and walked into the house with a strong and confident attitude that was completely different from before.
Chen Mengze was sitting at the table, and it seemed that he had heard the conversation outside the room clearly.
At this moment, the look he gave He Guang was inexplicably complicated.
He Guang's eyes quickly passed over him, as if he had accidentally seen a stranger.
[Fuck, I can’t say anything else except this word tonight]
[I'm a little confused about what's going on here]
[Looking at the male protagonist, it seems that he has also been through something]
[The anchor intends to act out a trick to trick ghosts into reincarnation
But Mo Liuying is also a ghost? 】
[I always feel that the anchor's perspective alone misses a lot]
[I don’t understand why this is happening]
【The host is now acting
Wait, she has such acting skills, was she kidding us by acting so exaggerated just now?]
[So Mo Liuying is a possessed ghost, the host is now playing a character possessed by a ghost messenger, and A Lin is also possessed by a ghost. I feel sorry for the male lead now]
Mo Liuying closed the door and sat at the table.
"Did you... kill him?" Mo Liuying seemed to think that the word "kill" was not an appropriate word, but she obviously couldn't find a more suitable alternative. After hesitating for a while, she still asked this question.
He Guang nodded. There was no way Alin would survive if he fell into her hands. To round it off, he would be killed.
She still remained in a state of neither joy nor sorrow, as if possessed by the 'messenger of hell'.
"Is it the end?" Mo Liuying smiled bitterly. She looked dazed, but when she mentioned A Lin, she couldn't suppress her disgust and resentment.
Chen Mengze noticed that there was a black mist surging around Mo Liuying. He hesitated for a moment and called out, "Senior sister."
He didn't know the other person's name, so it was not wrong to call him that.
Mo Liuying closed her eyes, and the faint mist dissipated again.
The system couldn't help but admire: "Oh, what a tenacious soul, able to control resentment. You know, the obsessions that can turn you into a ghost are very deep, and negative emotions will expand."
"I originally thought that we would be entangled and fighting like this for the rest of our lives, but I didn't expect it to end in this way. My Lord Envoy, at this point I only have one thing to ask you."
Mo Liuying's expression showed a little uneasiness and expectation, "Ruoning, is Zhang Ruoning's soul here?"
He Guang's fingers trembled slightly, and the system's voice sounded doubtful to match the atmosphere, "Oh my God! She is not Zhang Ruoning? Zhang Ruoning... Zhang Ruoning..."
Its tone changed very flatly, "Data is being read."
After a while, the system said, "It seems that we have taken it for granted, host. We have always believed that the ghost possessing Mo Liuying is Zhang Ruoning, A Lin's childhood sweetheart, who was killed by him in the open space."
"Luckily I didn't call her name just now, otherwise I would have been exposed."
He Guang has not responded to the system and barrage since the beginning, making the audience wonder if she is really possessed by a ghost.
At this moment, she was very confused. "Who else could she be if not Zhang Ruoning? She should be the one who hates that bastard the most!"
"It could be another person, dear." The system said slowly, "Xiao Jin. He was the first person killed by A-Lin in this incident, and his body was dismembered.
According to the data, the body was not found completely 20 years ago, poor little guy."
[Damn, you are really acting]
[This is the brilliant idea you mentioned. It is indeed brilliant.]
[The plot takes a sharp turn]
[Since she appeared in the library, it is very likely that the body is here. Isn’t it said that ghosts like to linger in the place where they died?]
He Guang felt that what the barrage said made sense.
"Compared to this." The system sighed, "Host, she is still waiting for your answer. It's time to test your ability to smooth things over."
"System-kun, you have changed. You are no longer the System-kun I knew this morning who was worried about me."
He Guang said this with a feeling of grievance.
System, "You are naughty, my dear host. You have greatly improved my endurance."
"Okay... But where will Zhang Ruoning be?"
He Guang asked this without any confusion on his face, as if he had some guesses.
This surprised both the system and the audience because they hadn't figured out the answer yet.
“Just now in the open space, Alin said that many people with weak wills have not even formed souls.
Zhang Ruoning died in the open space, and her soul would be trapped in this campus just like Alin.
There are two possibilities for Xiao Jin to be unable to find her. One is that she has not formed a soul. "He Guang said.
The system said, "If that's the case, since your world doesn't have the setting of the underworld, then her soul is very likely to have disintegrated into countless fragments at the moment of her death, and merged into the soul of a newborn, a new life consciousness, just like the fragments of other people."
"Another possibility is that her soul has been devoured by Alin. The law of the jungle prevails over the weak, and this is an eternal law." He Guang analyzed seriously.
System recognition.
He Guang sighed, perhaps because of her sincere sympathy, her tone sounded deep and compassionate.
"The answer is already in you, isn't it?"
"Host, I mean, isn't this too perfunctory?" the system couldn't help but say.
He Guang shook his head and said, "System Master, you don't understand this, do you? Do you think she would be clueless after wandering around the library for so many years? She died before Zhang Ruoning, and maybe she was there on the day he died.
She is asking me now if I am willing to give up this last glimmer of hope.”
[So that's how it is]
[A legend in a supernatural event actually hides such a story]
[Maybe this is also life, although we are all bystanders]
【Suddenly I felt touched】
[Xiao Jin is really strong. He was dismembered, and he had to face the enemy who killed him to protect innocent people.
Anyway, if it were me, I couldn’t do it.]
【yes】
As expected, although Mo Liuying or Xiao Jin looked very shocked, they did not overreact. They just lowered their heads dejectedly.
After a moment, she sighed, seeming both bitter and relieved.
"I've thought of it a long time ago, but I just don't want to admit it. She is such a gentle person, how scared she would be if she stayed here and faced that devil. So I stayed here, on the one hand because I hated that devil, and on the other hand because I was afraid that she would be lonely and scared if she couldn't see me."
"Now, Mr. Envoy..." Xiao Jin seemed to have some tears in his eyes, but they never fell. Instead, they formed a smile on his face, "Please take me away!"
