The two of us have reached a consensus and can live in peace.

But such a consensus is actually of little use. We are now in dire straits, and it is very difficult to do anything we want to do.

I am mainly worried that after Yuan Xiaomei realizes the reality, she will use her ghost identity to cause trouble. No matter if she causes Yao Mozi now, or waits for me or Ye Qing to kill the Guangyuan Mountain Ghost, then leaves here and causes Yao Mozi, it will be a big trouble.

Yuan Xiaomei was probably arguing with me out of loyalty, or maybe she wanted to test something, but that was not important to me.

I actually have nothing to do with Yuan Xiaomei. No matter what I see, I always feel uncomfortable. Just like if you see someone driving drunk, even if you are a stranger, you should go up and say something and call the police. Otherwise, if someone really gets into a car accident, it will be fine if he kills himself. If he kills someone else, as a bystander, he will inevitably have uneasy conscience.

I felt that I had fulfilled my obligation and decided to continue walking into the forest.

Yuan Xiaomei followed.

I paused in my steps.

"I won't hinder you. You said that after I investigate, don't rush to announce it, and I agree. But you also have to prove that what you said is true, right? You are trying to find a way to leave here, and you also want to kill That ghost?" Yuan Xiaomei said.

She seemed determined to join me.

I thought about what the Guangyuan Mountain Ghost had done, and I didn’t strongly refuse.

As I walked like this, maybe I would be led somewhere by him again.

I turned around and kept walking.

Yuan Xiaomei followed me, and I heard footsteps behind me. It must be Liu Liangwang and the group leader also following.

"Can you tell me what's going on here? What's the ghost going to do if it captures people? What good does it do to them if the ghost kills people?" Yuan Xiaomei seemed to be conducting an interview, but she didn't use any interviewing skills, and just kept throwing things away. The question seemed to come from pure curiosity, asking me these questions.

I am not stupid enough to completely trust Yuan Xiaomei, so it is impossible for me to answer all her questions truthfully.

"I don't know what he is going to do. Maybe killing is a ghost's instinct."

"Wouldn't it benefit him to kill someone?"

"I'm not a ghost, and I don't know. Do you want to try it on me?" I changed the subject and asked about Yuan Xiaomei.

Yuan Xiaomei smiled and tucked the strands of hair behind her ears, "No. You say I'm a ghost, but I don't have that kind of instinct."

"Then every ghost may be different. The ghost here may have some purpose that he wants to achieve. However, he probably won't tell us."

I actually have some guesses in my mind.

Guangyuan Mountain Ghost has done so many things, just to create a "drama troupe" here. But he didn't know whether it was because he didn't have the opportunity or lack of time. He had been struggling for more than 20 years, but he still hadn't succeeded. The legend of Guangyuan Highway has nothing to do with him, and the word "Guangyuan" did not become his new code name. In contrast, Huixiang’s guides have been very effective in “building” the local area. Even Minqing's new guy who opened a restaurant and Song Zang who drove a taxi were both in their own way without showing off.

My steps didn't stop, but my mind turned a corner.

Each of these ghosts has been lurking for many years and has been doing evil for many years. If the situation hadn't changed and I hadn't been forced to get involved, I wouldn't have known about them. There is no telling when they will be discovered and eliminated.

Wu Ling has said many times that the collapse of this world has already begun. Perhaps, these ghosts have also traveled here long ago and started to manage their own power bit by bit.

2030 is only 7 years away from now.

If the world had undergone earth-shaking changes, it would not have been possible for most ordinary people to accept this change in the worldview in just seven years, continue to live peacefully, and learn the lessons of living under the hands of ghosts.

Seven years is not enough time.

Well, from earlier on, these things happened.

Just like Huixiang. The locals have completely accepted the rule that outsiders will be killed by ghosts, and believe it as an iron law without questioning or resisting.

Huixiang is not prosperous, but its population and size are not small either.

I suddenly felt a chill.

Changes in ancient dynasties did not happen overnight. Social changes always take a long time to gestate. How long does it take for a world to change from believing in science and opposing superstition to everyone accepting the existence of ghosts and living with ghosts?

Did Ye Qing already know this, so he dismissed the plan of the supernatural circle?

If all this had really started a long time ago, then there would be a fundamental problem. There is no telling how long the methods of the supernatural circle will be effective. On the contrary, Ye Qing's "whimsical" approach might solve the problem from the root.

However, if we get rid of the original ghost, will everything get better?

I couldn't help but feel confused.

The education I received lasted for more than ten years, from primary school to university, and my grades were not good. I was not majoring in politics or history, and I was not particularly interested in these subjects. But the books I usually read all illustrate a point. That is, history always moves forward, history has its own inertia and its inevitability.

If we had to do it all over again, can this world really become a world without ghosts, spirits, and no supernatural beings at all?

To be honest, I don’t think it’s a bad thing when humans and ghosts coexist. It is undoubtedly a comfort for deceased relatives to appear in life in another way.

Like the cemetery that I was shown in October, the ghosts who stayed in the cemetery were like old neighbors, talking to each other about the descendants of each family, expecting them to come to visit their graves, visit me, and let me see their current situation. I feel relaxed and warm.

Like my sister's classmate, she was troubled and lonely after death, but after being the same, I went on the final graduation trip with my sister and the others, which can not but be said to be a small happiness.

But that's not the case in the world where humans and ghosts coexist.

Ghosts act recklessly, killing people for fun, and even maliciously causing trouble. But the Guangyuan Mountain Ghosts who did this were considered to be good, not as good as those above, but more than good than those below.

The guides, Song Zang, and new things I saw were not kind ghosts.

That kind of world is like hell. I think no one can find happiness and peace in such a world.

"Team Leader Lin." Yuan Xiaomei called me.

I turned to look at her.

"What's wrong with you?" Yuan Xiaomei asked, "You seem to be thinking about something. Is there any trouble?"

I shook my head.

Of course it is impossible to tell Yuan Xiaomei what I just thought.

"You originally wanted to encourage us to find trouble with that ghost, right?" the group leader interjected.

I paused slightly, "I want you to take me to find that ghost. You may not be able to kill him. I have other ways."

Yuan Xiaomei was thoughtful.

Liu Liangwang asked: "You mean, only a ghost can find the ghost, and you can kill the ghost?"

"Yeah. That's right. I can't find him. He seems to be avoiding me on purpose."

There's nothing to hide.

Yuan Xiaomei asked: "Your method and the amulet just now are from Qingye Supernatural Agency?"

I glanced at Yuan Xiaomei and said, "Yes. But you'd better not think about looking for them. I didn't tell anyone about this, but in fact, they have been in trouble for a long time, and some people have died. You understand what I mean. ?”

Yuan Xiaomei's expression changed.

Yuan Xiaomei stopped and refused to leave, and the group leader and Liu Liangwang also stayed in place in shock.

I looked back at them and sighed: "Now you know what you have done, right? We have to find the ghost, but we also have to avoid Qingye's people."

"The two sides will not..." Liu Liangwang blurted out.

"If that's the case, that would be good news. Do you think there are any signs that we can leave here now?" I asked.

All three of them had sullen faces.

"If you didn't lie to us, then... our ignorance made a big mistake." The group leader said indifferently.

I didn't blame them for it. If they can use this method to find Liu Miao and allow me to resurrect Liu Miao, then this whole thing will be a blessing and a curse for Qingye. The people in the editorial department of Tianxia Weekly are only misfortunes, not blessings.

I didn't stay here to let them immerse themselves in their emotions, but just as I was about to leave, I felt something was wrong.

I looked at the villa next to me.

A figure flashed in the window of the villa.

Good night everyone~
