Soon, the four of them rushed to the top floor of the 60th floor. Just as they were about to float over, they were knocked back as if by an electric shock. I knew they were blocked by the salt I had sprinkled earlier. Although salt has little effect on some fierce ghosts, it is more than enough for these small ghosts.
Among the four of them, only Zhang Shaoqi remained calm, as if nothing had happened. This was what surprised me the most.
However, Zhang Longming, Liao Zhiyuan, and Cheng Qian were already furious. Zhang Longming shouted, "Xu Fei, why did you do this? Why did you push me down? Do you know that you have become a murderer now? You have killed us all!"
I shook my head and laughed, "Wrong! You were already dead. I just helped you so that you could clearly realize that you were already dead."
"We are dead?" They looked at each other, seemingly not realizing it yet.
"Liao Zhiyuan, I remember you said this to me last night: Some people die but don't know they are dead. To us outsiders, of course, they are no different from normal people." I said to him with a smile.
Liao Zhiyuan's expression was obviously stunned, and he said in astonishment: "This is impossible... How could I be dead... This is impossible! I'm not dead yet! I'm not dead yet! ah ah ah!" At the end, perhaps because he was too excited, he covered his head with both hands, as if he was about to explode.
I smiled calmly and said, "Actually, everyone in the building is dead, but no one knows about it. You're all pretending to be alive because others tell you you're still alive."
Cheng Qian stared at me with bloodshot eyes and said, "You knew I was dead, so you refused to sleep with me that day, right?"
I shook my head. "That's not the case. I wasn't sure at that time..."
"No need to explain, I understand." Cheng Qian bit her red lips and lowered her head.
Zhang Longming seemed to be still in shock and asked me, "How do you know I'm dead? Don't forget, we met at school that day, and then I brought you to the building to investigate. Why are you so sure now that I'm dead?"
"That's a good question," I replied calmly. "When we met at school, you were indeed still alive. There's no doubt about that. But that night, a whole month after you disappeared, I ran into you in that room last night and found you tied up and locked in. Maybe that's nothing... but have you ever thought about how you managed to survive a whole month without food or water? Moreover, when I saw you then, you looked exactly the same as you did a month ago, completely unchanged. Your spirits and complexion were also normal. How could you look emaciated from a month of starvation? So when I saw you last night, I guessed that you were already dead as early as the night you disappeared a month ago. - Can you recall what happened on the night you disappeared?"
"I remember that night I followed the sound of footsteps outside, and then something seemed to float past my eyes, and then I passed out. When I woke up, I found myself in that room, tied up and mouth sealed. No matter how I screamed, no one came to save me until you came in last night..." When he said this, Zhang Longming opened his mouth in surprise: "Could it be that I was already dead when I passed out? And it wasn't my body that woke up, but..."
I nodded and said, "It's your body that dies, and it's your soul that wakes up."
Zhang Longming was speechless.
Liao Zhiyuan had calmed down. He said in disbelief, "What about me? How can you be sure I'm dead? Last night, we cracked the password to that room together, entered that room together, and even saw Zhang Shaoqi eating the corpse. Could this all be fake?"
Zhang Shaoqi frowned and said, "I don't have any!"
Liao Zhiyuan turned his head and glared at her, angrily saying, "Don't tell me you weren't the one eating the corpse in that room last night? I saw it clearly! If you hadn't run fast, I would have caught you last night!"
Zhang Shaoqi shuddered, as if frightened by him. He lowered his head and said weakly, "It's not me... It's really not me..."
I stopped him, saying, "Liao Zhiyuan! If you yell at Zhang Shaoqi again, believe it or not, I will kill you instantly." As I said this, a puff of the Samadhi Fire ignited beside my hand.
Liao Zhiyuan's neck shrank, and then he calmed down.
I sighed and said, "Liao Zhiyuan, since you still don't understand, let me tell you the truth. It's actually like this..."
