Chapter 93: Real Illusion (4)
========
The onlookers were scolded and dispersed with sneers.
Yi Han, who didn't move, naturally stayed behind.
After the female store manager finished her round of scolding, she saw him by mistake. Although this woman didn't know what was going on, it seemed that the encounter with the ghost last night had never happened, but she actually remembered that Yi Han bullied her son.
Seeing her eyebrows raised and about to rush towards him, Yi Han suddenly had an idea and hurriedly called out to the auxiliary police who was about to leave.
"Uncle police, someone I don't know broke into my house and I don't dare go home. Could you please take me back?"
Seeing that the kid wanted to call the police for something instead of just sitting here to watch her make a fool of herself, the female manager had to hold back the curse words that she was about to curse at. She glared at him for a long time before she snorted heavily and turned to go into the house.
The auxiliary police officer looked at Yi Han strangely when he heard that. In the police car on the roadside not far away, the auxiliary police driver, who was also wearing an auxiliary police uniform but had not even gotten out of the car, just leaned over and called for him to get in and go back.
The auxiliary police looked at the time, then at Yi Han who was blocking the road. He obviously didn't believe what a little kid said about someone breaking into the house, and was even more reluctant to send the lost child home.
He scratched his face in annoyance and said, "Little boy, if you get lost, just call your parents, okay? Uncle has other things to do. He has to catch the bad guys and doesn't have time to fool around with you."
"I'm not lost, and you're wearing auxiliary police uniforms. It's not your turn to catch big cases like the bad guys," Yi Han pointed out.
Auxiliary police: ...?
As a policeman, he certainly couldn't lose his temper with a child in public, but Yi Han insisted that there was a bad guy at home and asked the police uncle to send him home. The police uncle ignored the bad guy in front of him and lied that he wanted to catch other bad guys. He must have wanted to watch him die... The auxiliary police was annoyed to death, but every step he took, Yi Han blocked him. Seeing that the crowd was watching, he finally had to give in.
The auxiliary police officer was already in a bad mood after receiving a report from a shrew early in the morning, and now he was threatened by a strange little kid. This person had a sour look on his face until he arrived at Yi Han's door.
Yi Han didn't say anything else to them. He led his people into the unit door, went up a flight of stairs, and returned to the home he lived in when he was 10 years old.
As soon as he turned the corner of the stairs, Yi Han discovered that the security door of his house was ajar.
When he left home last night, although the situation was urgent, he closed the door with the thought that it might stop the ghost from chasing him. But now the door was open - it was as if the people in the house knew he would come back, so they took the initiative to open the door for him.
"Who broke into your house? Is he your relative? Don't you know him?" the auxiliary police officer asked impatiently.
Yi Han didn't say anything, just hid behind someone and watched the auxiliary police open the security door.
The scene inside the door was no different from when I left yesterday. The furniture was neatly arranged and the living room was quiet.
Seeing this scene, the auxiliary police became even more unhappy, because the room was obviously not in the state it should be in after someone broke into the house and robbed it.
Although it was daytime now, theoretically, ghosts would not come out directly, but after Yi Han followed the auxiliary police into the house, he still remained vigilant and looked around.
Just a few steps in, Yi Han sniffed lightly.
"Is this the smell of rice?" Yi Han was a little stunned.
To be precise, this was the smell of the home-cooked breakfast made by Yi Han's mother. He was very familiar with this smell when he was a child, but after the accident, he hadn't smelled it for ten years.
"Tsk, your parents have left you breakfast," the auxiliary police officer who was unknown was bypassing the wall of the living room partition, stood at the entrance of the restaurant, and looked at the direction of the dining table and tsk several times. "I said, you kid, you are actually a kid who sneaked out of the house, and you are afraid of being beaten, so you drag the police home. You are quite interested. Your parents are not at home now, so you must be looking for you outside. I really feel sorry for you as you are unlucky kid. If I were them, you would definitely hit your butt when you come back."
Not to mention that this person was half right. Yi Han forcibly pulled the auxiliary police to his home because he thought there was a ghost in his house and it was not safe for him to come back alone. It is said that public security, procuratorial and judicial personnel have strong yang energy and can drive away evil spirits. Since he met a ready-made one (although he was an unreliable temporary worker), he certainly would not waste it.
Yi Han glanced over the auxiliary police officer and found that there was indeed breakfast on the table. It was the kind he liked to eat when he was a child, and it was obviously left for him. But there was no sound or anyone at home, and he didn't know what these two ghosts were planning. But in short, it didn't look like anything serious would happen now.
While the auxiliary police was wandering around the house, Yi Han went back to his room and quickly changed his pajamas, then picked up his schoolbag and left the house with the auxiliary police one minute later.
"Why did you follow me out again?" The auxiliary police officer just went out and turned around to see the kid still behind him. He immediately rolled his eyes in annoyance.
"Thank you, police uncle, for sending me home. I have to go to school now. My school is xxx." Yi Han said, as if the other party had already agreed to send him to school.
Auxiliary police: ...?
Although the auxiliary police officer was walking in front as fast as if he was avoiding insects, Yi Han followed closely all the way, and when the auxiliary police officer got in the car, he quickly opened the back door and climbed in flexibly.
The two auxiliary police officers stared at each other, they had never seen such a clingy child, but Yi Han had already got in the car and reported the school address again. They couldn't take the child back to the police station, so they had to start the car and drive to take Yi Han to school.
"Uncle police, was someone killed in our school a few days ago?"
On the way, Yi Han thought about what he had experienced that night, and also thought about the speculations he had made about the two groups of ghosts he had encountered so far. He tentatively asked such a question.
"Don't ask around. Children should focus on their studies and stop running around and gossiping." The auxiliary police officer driving the car said perfunctorily. After hearing what he said, the other auxiliary police officer in the passenger seat couldn't help but hum with interest and glanced at the back seat, but he didn't know what he meant.
But seeing the attitudes of the two, Yi Han understood that his guess was probably correct.
Since entering this illusion, Yi Han has been collecting information and looking for a breakthrough, as there is no introduction to the rules and no conditions for passing the level.
Now that a night had passed and he had encountered several ghosts, plus the answers he had just received from the auxiliary police, he could finally roughly determine what this illusion was made of.
When Yi Han was very young, he was raised by his grandparents. Later, they were taken away by relatives abroad, and he lived with his parents. Because there were not many other relatives, Yi Han usually only interacted with neighbors and classmates. So in his 20 years of life, he had only three close encounters with death.
The first time was when his parents died in an accident when Yi Han was 10 years old.
The second time was after Yi Han moved away. He saw a pair of siblings from the same neighborhood. He often saw them on his way to and from school, but they rarely spoke to each other. Later, when Yi Han was about 12 years old, news broke that both of them had died of drug poisoning. Yi Han no longer remembered the specific circumstances, but because of this, he always remembered that expired medicine should not be taken casually...
Because the incident did not happen at the age of 10, and the location was not in this community, Yi Han did not connect the knocker with the siblings last night. But in the morning he saw the bloody handprints outside the pharmacy, and if he looked closely he could see that there was one big and one small. In addition, the pharmacy also sold expired drugs - then the answer was obvious.
In this illusion copy, time and space are both disordered.
What initially misled Yi Han into determining the year and time were the decoration of his home, his own physical condition, and the time shown on the electronic clock, but these were actually just simple backgrounds. The real background of the copy was the superposition of at least three time periods: 2010, 2012, and 2014.
The first two times corresponded to the death of his parents and the death of his neighbor's siblings. In 2014, when Yi Han was 14 years old, he witnessed the body of a senior schoolmate. This was the third death incident he had come into close contact with.
Yi Han was in the third year of junior high school at that time. The person who got in trouble was a senior from the high school department. He was not familiar with her, but he had heard of her.
When I was a student, almost every class had introverted students who were isolated or bullied. Yi Han had a cold personality since he was a child and didn't like to talk to people. He was also isolated by his classmates. Some boys tried to collect protection money from him, but Yi Han impatiently beat up the boys involved in various places several times. After that, the whole class didn't dare to mess with him anymore. Although he still kept to himself, it was probably because he isolated the whole class by himself...
The senior from the high school department was also a tough character like Yi Han. She was said to be pretty but had a bad personality. Since she transferred here, there have been a lot of rumors about her spreading in the school, saying that she fell in love early, always changed boyfriends, had sex with people as soon as they started dating, and boys couldn't stand her, etc. Later, it was said that she got pregnant many times, had abortions many times, would steal money when she had no money, and had stolen all the class fees of her class... In short, there were a lot of ridiculous and weird rumors with no basis at all.
This senior student faces such rumors every day, but she is not afraid at all. Anyone who dares to spread rumors in front of her will be retaliated by her in every possible way. Although few people gossip about her in person, it is still inevitable that people will point fingers and do bad things behind her back. Yi Han once saw her speech being secretly replaced when the school organized a speech. But because she was well prepared in advance and performed well on the spot, she still performed well. A few days after that incident, at another event in the school, several classmates in her class who were suspected of replacing her speech made a fool of themselves and were ridiculed by her openly.
Yi Han really admired girls with this kind of personality, but since they were in junior high school and high school respectively, they had never had any interactions.
Until one day, this senior student jumped off the building in public, and her body fell next to Yi Han's class which was having physical education class.
This incident caused a lot of uproar at the time. The police and the school said that she committed suicide due to too much academic pressure. Her classmates speculated about all kinds of love and hate, whether she broke up again, got pregnant, or had an abortion.
Yi Han felt that according to the rumored personality of this senior sister, she didn't seem like someone who would commit suicide, and this was definitely not right. But he had no relationship with this senior sister, and her family didn't object to this result. After it was used as a topic of conversation for a while, no one mentioned this matter and this person again.
After realizing that this copy was in a disordered space-time background, Yi Han began to speculate how many ghosts there were here.
Although this question could not be answered for the time being, after asking the auxiliary police, Yi Han could at least be sure that the third haunted place in the copy must be the school where the senior sister jumped off the building.
His intuition told him that he would be able to obtain key clues to pass the illusion from this senior schoolmate.
