Chapter 173: Open One Eye, Close One Eye
Sun Keke, Lin Xi and she actually didn't have much of a relationship, at most they had done business together more often and met more often in the corridor, so she was one of the ghosts who could talk more easily. Moreover, she was the most human-like.
Everything she did, everything she said, was human.
She had no idea what Lin Xi was, so she wouldn't say that. Sun Keke's words just now clearly had a different meaning. Lin Xi instantly connected it with what Chen Sheng had said before, which was "they are going to set up this instance together with the committee."
Lin Xi speculated that one of them was the hospital, and the other was Sun Kege. She had also tried to inquire about Sun Keke, but Sun Keke acted innocent and didn't understand what Lin Xi was talking about. She also felt that the rumors about the haunted incident in the hospital were inexplicable, and that there could be no ghosts in this world.
Other ghosts are just acting. They know they are ghosts but insist that there are no ghosts. But Sun Keke sincerely feels that way. She really regards herself as a human being.
So when Sun Keke said this, Lin Xi immediately realized that something was wrong.
She thought about her previous suspicions about Sun Keke: either amnesia or schizophrenia. Now it seemed that schizophrenia was more likely.
After Lin Xi asked this question, Sun Keke was still trying to play dumb. In the dark, Lin Xi couldn't see Sun Keke's expression. But Sun Keke, maybe she could clearly see what kind of expression on her face. Sun Keke didn't clap her hands or say "Hey" to let the light shine again in the corridor. She said in the dark: "Lin Xi, what are you talking about? I am Sun Keke, who else could it be?"
It’s definitely not Sun Keke.
If it was really like what Sun Keke said, she would have just said, "Nervous."
"Stop pretending. The difference between you and Sun Keke is quite obvious."
In the darkness, only a tiny bit of crimson burned. Sun Keke was still in the mood to take a puff of her cigarette. Because of her action, the crimson that was about to dim became even brighter. Sun Keke laughed and said, "It seems that I really can't deceive you. But I didn't lie. I am Sun Keke."
That's solid evidence of schizophrenia.
He even deliberately gave her a disease, making Lin Xi suspect that Sun Keke was really sick. Sun Keke took a puff or two of her cigarette, threw it on the ground, and stamped it out with her slippers. It can be seen that this Sun Keke doesn't like smoking as much as the other Sun Keke.
In the dark, Shen Sangning came over stealthily, covering the back of Lin Xi's hand, telling her that she was there and not to worry. Lin Xi simply grabbed Shen Sangning's hand with her backhand, pulled her down, and let her
Sit next to yourself.
Sun Keke was a ghost, and she saw all of this clearly. She said bluntly, "I don't really have any ill will towards you, otherwise I wouldn't have allowed another Sun Keke to develop a friendship with you. In her heart, you're quite important."
"ah?"
Lin Xi couldn't help but groan. She hadn't expected that she was so important to Sun Keke. Why would Sun Keke have such thoughts? She... uh, a profiteer who was constantly ripping her off... Could Sun Keke have some hidden hobbies?
That said, Lin Xi's words ruined the atmosphere, completely ruining Sun Keke's ability to speak. But she still had to say, "I agreed to build this dungeon because I wanted to give Sun Keke a different experience. You can see that Sun Keke wants to escape, but I don't. She's really gone too far... If you escape on your own, I'll turn a blind eye. But if you bring another me with you, things might become more complicated."
Sun Keke clapped her hands, and at that moment Lin Xi realized that the way Sun Keke clapped her hands was a little different from usual.
Usually Sun Keke was carefree, and she clapped her hands in a similar way to Lin Xi, but now Sun Keke was lazy and clapped her hands gently. She walked out of the corridor in the light and went to the third floor.
After Lin Xi and the others left, she started to act coquettishly towards Chen Sang Ning: "Wife, pull me up." After Chen Sang Ning pulled her up, Lin Xi pushed further: "Wife, carry me on your back."
"Lin Xi is bad."
Smart Ningning was just like stupid Ningning, saying that she was bad, but Lin Xi smiled: "I carried stupid Ningning on my back before, so what's wrong with you carrying me on your back now?" She was so unreasonable that Shen Sangning had no choice but to carry her on her back and take her to the fourth floor.
Shen Sangning carried it very steadily, not at all like a living person.
Lin Xi had carried Chen Sang Ning on his back so many times, and of course he had also tried to ask Chen Sang Ning to carry him. Chen Sang Ning had refused many times, and after Lin Xi resorted to some rogue tactics, she finally had no choice but to try carrying Lin Xi on her back.
She squatted with her back to Lin Xi, and Lin Xi leaned over, lowering herself onto her back. Shen Sangning then hugged her knees and, using all her strength, tried to lift Lin Xi. Lin Xi wasn't actually that heavy, and Shen Sangning could carry her, but only just enough. After a few stumbling steps, she was already at her limit.
Before falling, Lin Xi quickly jumped off Shen Sang Ning's back.
But after carrying her for a few steps, Shen Sangning was still a little breathless, so she simply sat on the curb to catch her breath. Lin Xi squatted in front of her and looked up at her. Shen Sangning couldn't help but poke Lin Xi's head with her finger: "You are so mean."
Seeing that there was no one around, Lin Xi would hold Shen Sangning's hand, kiss her fingertips, and say with a playful smile that Shen Sangning should exercise, otherwise she really wouldn't be able to carry herself.
I never thought that one day, Shen Sangning would be able to carry me on his back easily without any training.
Shen Sangning carried Lin Xi back to the room. After she landed on the bed, Lin Xi reached out and poked Shen Sangning's cheek. Shen Sangning was stunned for a moment, then smiled at Lin Xi: "Lin Xi, what's wrong?"
"Wife, what's wrong with you?" Just as Chen Sangning understood Lin Xi, Lin Xi also understood Chen Sangning.
Shen Sangning had just covered the back of Sun Keke's hand after she appeared. Although Shen Sangning had always enjoyed being close to Lin Xi, she wasn't used to doing so in front of others. Lin Xi could tell that Sun Keke wasn't the same Sun Keke she'd always been, so there was no reason Shen Sangning couldn't see it either.
So she knew that something was wrong with Sun Keke in front of her, then...Sun Keke could also see Shen Sang Ning. She knew this, but she still stuck close to Lin Xi in front of others. It was obvious that she felt a little uneasy and wanted to get Lin Xi's affirmation.
If it was the stupid Ningning, it would not be surprising for her to do such a thing, but it was the smart Ningning, so Lin Xi noticed that something was wrong.
Shen Sangning was silent for a moment. She knew she couldn't hide it from Lin Xi, so she could only sigh: "Sun Keke must be suffering from schizophrenia."
"It seems so. Perhaps because the original Sun Keke couldn't play the role of a human properly, she split off into another Sun Keke. I hope this Sun Keke can play the role of a 'living person' well."
The ghosts in the world of Rule Ghost Stories have a certain obsession with impersonating living people. Lin Xi didn't know the reason, but it was easy to spot. There were already ghosts with mental illnesses in mental hospitals, so it wasn't surprising that they had a split mental state and created a "living" version of themselves.
At first, Lin Xi didn't know why Chen Sangning suddenly mentioned Sun Keke's schizophrenia, but she immediately realized what she meant. Even though her situation was different from Sun Keke's, she had actually split herself into two parts to accompany Lin Xi, and she began to worry.
Lin Xi accurately grasped Shen Sangning's concerns, so she leaned a little closer to Shen Sangning: "Ningning and Sun Keke's situations are different. Sun Keke has schizophrenia, but Ningning has amnesia! And I am very sure that there has only been one Ningning from the beginning to the end!"
Lin Xi had the intuition of a small animal, which was why she quickly discovered that something was wrong with Sun Keke. She really doubted Shen Sangning's condition at first, but she was Lin Xi. Just one look at Shen Sangning would tell whether she was Shen Sangning herself.
"Whether she's a silly Ning Ning or a smart Ning Ning, she's still Ning Ning to me. It's because of Ning Ning that I'm able to survive." She leaned her head over, touching Shen Sang Ning's. Upon hearing her words, Shen Sang Ning muttered softly, "Not a silly Ning Ning."
Shen Sangning raised her head slightly, stepped back a little, and saw Lin Xi's eyes. Lin Xi always said that her love could not be hidden. As long as she looked at her, her eyes were filled with deep love. Lin Xi was right.
Every time she saw Lin Xi's eyes, she would think of Baudelaire's poem - Your bright eyes are the lake that reflects the trembling of my soul, and my dreams, in groups, seek liberation and throw themselves into the depths of your autumn eyes.
Shen Sangning was a top student, so she naturally knew that Paul Ryle's original intention was not to praise love. This celebrity was exploring good and evil and the tide of the times, but Shen Sangning couldn't get into it. Whenever she read this translation, she thought of Lin Xi.
It was she who was narrow-minded and who made Baudelaire's original text vulgar.
But God, this poem fits her state of mind so well that she is not afraid even if she falls into the deepest darkness.
Lin Xi was such an amazing person. Whenever she fell into a vortex of confusion, she would soothe all her hesitation with a few words, making her fearless in the world. Shen Sangning didn't want to reveal more of her thoughts, so she changed the subject: "Lin Xi, what do you think about the architect's affairs?"
Hearing this question, Lin Xi knew that Shen Sangning was guiding her thinking. She wasn't completely stupid anymore; she was also a smart kid who could start thinking about solving problems on her own!
Lin Xi showed a little pride: "Ningning, don't underestimate me, I have grown a lot too!"
She knew, Shen Sangning knew it all. She had seen everything about Lin Xi. After her memories returned, she realized that Lin Xi had truly grown a lot.
Lin Xi began his rambling analysis: "Today's Sun Keke was definitely trying to trick us. Maybe the real architect of this dungeon isn't today's Sun Keke, but the usual Sun Keke."
"It's obvious that the usual Sun Keke is the one who wants to escape. The Sun Keke today would never say something like 'I'd rather die than be without freedom'."
