Chapter 177 The culprit
What is this guy talking about?No one could react for a moment. What turned into a butterfly and then turned into me? Could I still be a butterfly?
Only Dak, who cooperated tacitly, immediately understood the meaning of Xiure's story. His face changed slightly and he whispered: "You mean, it's us..."

"Oh, you guessed it right, Dak. We have always thought that the caravan disappeared, Ma Lian and the others also disappeared, and they were swallowed up by the ghost space around us. But, what if the real missing people are us? What if the person trapped in the ghost space and unable to escape is ourselves?”

Xiure's words were actually spoken very slowly, but perhaps they were too beyond the understanding of the parasites, making it difficult for them to accept them. However, the warriors were different. Their experience was broad enough and their knowledge was rich enough, so Xiu'er spoke a little. As soon as he explained, both the mercenaries on both sides and the clergymen on Xiuer's side quickly understood his thoughts.

Because I understood, I was shocked.

Are we the victims trapped in a ghost space?Is this place actually a ghost space?Are we inside the ghost space of one of the three mysterious killers?
"Oh, I was shocked, right? The first time I thought about it, I was more surprised than you."

"Think about it, in the empty wilderness, a group of us disappeared quietly without leaving any information. Only a lonely carriage and an empty camp were still left on the road. Wadiga. Just like what happened to the passengers on the ghost ship back then, no one knows where we went, no one knows what we encountered."

"Wait, that's not right." Dak finally came to his senses and asked in confusion, "There is nothing missing in our convoy, and the goods they brought are also missing. Even this one is missing. The caravan...well, even the place where we stand is left behind by that caravan, you can't deny this."

"Yes."

"Then the question comes. I remember you said before that what the ghost space shows is that all inanimate objects that are not in physical contact will be left in Parvatiga. Only the things you carry with you will be with the living bodies. , was sucked into the ghost space." Duck pointed to the surrounding environment, "Theoretically, if we were sucked into the ghost space, there should be no salutes and we should appear on foot in the wilderness. There should be no carriage. We shouldn’t see the parasite’s camp, let alone this camp. These are not alive, right? How did they get in?”

"You made a mistake, Duck. You were right in the first half. Those things will stay in Parvatiga, but I never said that in the second half." Shuer shook his head, "Why shouldn't you read it? To this? Haha, do you still remember what the survivor of the first known ghost space feared most in the rest of his life? The fear that he could not forget even in his madness."

"Mirror?" Dak held the rose in his hand tightly, his voice full of surprise, "Are these, all, all mirror images?"

"Is it impossible? Haha, let's assume the principle of the ghost space, although it is completely random guessing." Shuer asked, "Suppose that the principle of the formation of the ghost space is induced by some reason. Add the world as a blueprint to form a mirror space. Every plant and tree in the mirror space is exactly the same as the original blueprint, including the man-made objects in this area at that point in time, such as carriages and camps. This process is between you and me. They should all be familiar."

"Well, it's similar to the initial formation process of the alien projection."

"Yes, but then things change. After this mirror space is formed, what about the life within it?"

"Are they all assigned to the mirror space?"

"Maybe it was all divided, maybe it was only part of it, we don't know. But one thing is for sure, in the ghost space, the victims are also ignorant and have no idea what happened to them."

"Just like the example you gave last night, most of the survivors only knew that they had entered the ghost space through other people's narratives after they came out?"

"That's it. In their eyes, most of the things around them are normal, so that they can't realize that they have fallen into a dangerous situation." Pointing to Dark, Xiuer said leisurely, "Tsk, Even a vigilant guy like you didn't notice it, let alone some ordinary people."

"So, those victims just continue to operate in the ghost space? What will they encounter?"

"How can I know? It's easy to know. If my previous guess is correct and we are indeed sucked into the ghost space, leave now and run as far as you can. Maybe you can find them all. What happened?"

"Go away." Dak made a rude gesture and said angrily, "Maybe you are right, but this is actually just a guess. Why are you so sure of your guess that you even gathered everyone together? here?"

"I'm not sure that we are the missing persons, but I can be sure that the area we are in is definitely not normal."

"Because... that smoky fire?" Duck nodded towards the still smoking fire.

"It's just for my verification. The first thing I confirmed that the environment was abnormal was the traces on the door."

"I remembered that when you entered the door just now, you suddenly looked scared, as if you had seen a ghost. I have decided to talk to the beautiful Lin Jing about this in the future. She will definitely like to hear it, haha, Xiure also Will be scared."

Shuer did not explain. Naturally, he would not show fear because of such a degree of change. The problem was that he was not the only one who fell into the ghost space. He had to be afraid because of the heat involved.Of course he didn't want to explain his mental activities, so... "Dang", Dak blocked the hammer blow, "Damn it, you bastard actually made a sneak attack, where is a man's dignity?"

"Xinyue, if you look at the mark on the door now, you will understand what I mean." Completely ignoring Dak's protest, as if the person who just tried to silence him was not him, Shuer said seriously, "In The marks carved on the wood will definitely change over time. However, it has been more than a day, and the marks on the wood are still the same as those newly carved."

The Crescent Knight was stunned and hurried back to the camp gate. Not long after, he returned with a strange look on his face and nodded with a grimace.

"After discovering this problem, combined with the story I remembered last night, I began to completely doubt the world, and the abnormally burning fire just confirmed my thoughts."

"Why does this happen?" Duck asked.

"How do I know? It's enough to know that it's abnormal." Shuer rolled his eyes and said, "The Lord teaches us not to be overly obsessed with demanding the truth of everything. Mortal wisdom is limited. Use limited wisdom when necessary. It is the most sensible thing to do."

"Your Dark Moon Goddess really said that?" Dak squinted his eyes and said disdainfully, "Look back, the four behind you already have expressions like they want to hit someone."

"It's impossible. Lisa nodded with a smile, indicating that I was right." She knew what was happening behind her without looking back. Shuer said calmly, "As for other people, it is possible."

"Sure enough, you are talking nonsense again." Dak waved his fist, but he also knew that Shuer was right, well, how could he know why.

"I can only guess that maybe the time rules of the two spaces are different. Well, to put it more simply, it means that the time flow rate is different, and the time here is faster. And whether it is the wooden pile at the door or the fuel in the firewood pile, they are all copied The things that come out, at different time flow rates, are more affected by the rules of the real world, so they show a state closer to the real world, just like what you just said, it seems like time has been stretched.”

Shuer's explanation was very casual, but no one could refute it. After all, everyone's understanding of the mysterious phenomenon of ghost space was almost zero.

"Forget it, I'm not interested in these things either. I'll leave it to the scholars to study when the time comes. As for when we were drawn into the ghost space and why Ma Lian and the others disappeared, there's still time to discuss after these things." Ke waved his hand, "Now, solving the problem is the most important thing. Assuming what you said is true, judging from your attitude, it is obvious that you have found a way to solve the problem, then show it and see if your guess is correct. Naturally it’s clear.”

"Of course, of course." Shuer jumped off the table, led more than 20 people, and slowly walked towards the three large tents where the banquet was once held.

"Don't you think it's strange? If we fell into the ghost space, what about Ma Lian and the others?" As he walked, Shuer said leisurely, "What if we, and the parasites, fell into the ghost space the day before yesterday? Before night, then Ma Lian should be with us, and not disappear suddenly later. And if we fell into the ghost space after Ma Lian left us, then when Linda came here to investigate early yesterday morning, Then you won’t find that everyone is missing, which is a very contradictory thing.”

"It's nothing strange." Dak said matter-of-factly, "Ma Lian and the others disappeared not because we entered the ghost space, but because they... went out."

"Yes, they left by mistake. This is the only answer I can think of. So it's actually very simple to get out of here. Just repeat what Ma Lian and the others did last time."

"What did they end up doing? Of course they came to this tent that was the main venue."

"It's fate. When they were checking here, they accidentally came across the toys left under the table."

The table was thrown away, and the toys under the table were exposed to everyone's sight, still maintaining their original appearance.

"Have you ever played with a top when you were a child? I have." Shuer slowly stretched out his hand towards the top, "But I have never seen a top that can maintain balance without tipping even if it is not spinning."

Such a small detail, the top on the ground is not tilted, but is standing straight on the ground.At first no one paid attention, thinking that it was leaning on the toys around it to maintain its balance. However, after being reminded, they discovered that although it was very close, it did not touch anything.

"In fact, I don't know what the medium is, but I know that at least in this ghost space, the medium is probably the top. Then, if we change the state of the top like Ma Lian and others, what will happen again? What happened?"

"Pa", Shuer's fingers grasped the top and picked it up.
