04472 - twisted creature

While we were chatting in the group, I received a question from Xiao Zhu: "What is a cat like? I know it is an animal, but I have never seen a live one."

Me: "Aren't there pictures and video records?"

Xiaozhu: "There are hand-painted pictures, which are very strange." He picked up the stone next to him and drew a few strokes on the ground.

...I held the fur ball out for him to see.

Xiao Zhu looked at the fur ball, then at the 'cat' he had drawn, and nodded: "That's how it looks, I drew it very similar."

Senior Lin: "How about you draw this cat beauty for us to see?"

Xiao Zhu didn't make a move, and asked: "Actually, don't I look like a picture?"

Me: "A cat is a cute creature that most people want to hug and rub when they see it. It's soft, fluffy, warm, and it sounds like a baby."

Xiao Zhu went 'oh' for a moment, then started to draw me, and then I asked him to draw a self-portrait for himself.

In the end we made two things clear:

First, Xiaozhu's painting skills are very good, it can be seen that he has undergone professional training.

Two, he can talk peacefully for so long with these distorted creatures that are not human, and even call me a beauty. If this child hadn't died because of his boldness, he might have become a remarkable person.

Me: "We seem to have been delayed for too long, and the sky is about to dawn. After dawn, ghosts won't be able to affect you much, right?"

Xiao Zhu: "Ghosts will become weaker after dawn."

Me: "It's probably not weaker, but the space-time isolation is stronger. The sunlight here has the effect of strengthening the isolation? Or the lights? So you don't turn off the lights in the room where there are people at night."

Xiaozhu didn't answer.

Me: "Even if we go to the place where the screams are coming out, those ghosts may not be there, right? They are moving around, right?"

Xiaozhu: "Ghosts will attract each other. As long as they get close to a certain degree, they can perceive each other."

Me: "Sounds like telepathy."

Xiao Zhu: "Can I pet the cat?"

Me: "If you tell me what you caught when you touched us, let you touch it."

Xiaozhu: "When I met you, something flowed into my body. It made me stronger, clearer, and even draw better."

Me: "Your description seems to be affected by spiritual power, but I don't feel that I have lost anything."

Xiaozhu: "Can I touch the cat?"

Fuqiu: "No."

04473 - flesh and blood

Xiaozhu was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes widened: "The one who spoke just now was a cat? Is a cat a creature that can speak human language?"

Me: "Why do you think cats can't? Who told you they can't?"

Xiao Zhu: "But cats are animals."

Me: "People are animals too."

Xiaozhu: "..."

Me: "It may be too late now, let's make an appointment. If you want, then you can have a good sleep during the day, and when the night falls again, we will wait for you here, or at other convenient places for you, we Let's go find the bad guys together."

Xiao Zhu: "Are you guys attached to me?"

Me: "What happens if you stick to it?"

Xiaozhu: "My flesh and blood will support you."

Me: "I didn't feel that I sucked your flesh and blood."

Xiaozhu: "After being supported by me, you will not be weak under the light, and you will be able to move more freely."

Me: "You became our connection point to this world? You have no spiritual power, so you can't protect yourself while connecting us, so the connection makes you weak."

Me: "Since you know that doing so will hurt yourself, are you going to refuse to be glued to us? Don't make another appointment with us?"

Xiaozhu: "Jo. The more flesh and blood I pay you, the stronger the power I will get from you."

Senior Lin: "Will the flesh and blood we gave grow back after we leave?"

Xiaozhu: "No. If you lose it, you lose it. If you change it to something else, you won't get your flesh and blood back."

Me: "You use 'flesh and blood' to describe it, isn't it a metaphor? Are you really going to lose blood and flesh?"

Xiaozhu: "There may be hair, bones, and organs."

Senior Lin: "If we stay here for a long time, is it possible that you will have to sacrifice your entire body?"

Xiaozhu: "Yes."

Me: "How sure are you that we won't be around for long?"

Xiao Zhu: "I'm not sure, but I want power."

Me: "Why? Is there anything you must do with this power?"

Xiaozhu touched my clothes again, and said, "I am willing to help you, so you choose me, okay? Give me a chance to gain strength."

Me: "Will you sleep well after dawn to keep you refreshed at night?"

Xiaozhu: "I don't need to sleep, I can still be energetic."

Me: "I don't need the excitement-like sobriety caused by too much emotion, I want you to calm down, even when you find that you have lost most of your flesh and blood, but you haven't got any power from us, you won't go crazy kind of calm."

04474 - Effect of illuminance

Xiaozhu looked at me for a while, then touched my clothes, and said, "I won't help you if I can't get the power, but you said you don't know where the power I got came from. I got it The power is beyond your control."

Me: "Yes. So we can't even negotiate a deal. How do you know that the power-maker who doesn't know where is going to give you power after you help us? We don't know who or where it is. We didn't give that thing a benefit, why should that thing pay to help us hire people?"

Xiaozhu: "..."

Me: "Go back and think about it. The house you came out of through the window before is your home? We will wait for you under the window after dark today. If you agree to cooperate, come out again; if you don't want to, close the window and face each other." We can shake our heads."

Xiaozhu: "Don't you still want to read information about ghosts?"

Me: "Yes, but this doesn't necessarily require your help."

Xiaozhu: "I'll help."

Me: "Reject. I want you to think about the question just now. The rest has nothing to do with you. We choose the partner, not you."

Xiaozhu stubbornly continued to bargain with me, but as the first ray of sunlight shone on me in the morning, he fell silent.

Then he asked, "Can you still hear me?"

Me: "I can't 'hear' all the time, I can only 'see'."

Xiao Zhu's expression was blank. After he lost his hearing, he couldn't communicate with us since he couldn't see our faces, let alone lip movements.

Xiaozhu: "I... go back to sleep. At night, I'll wait for you... you must come." After speaking, he wrote this sentence down on the ground, and then looked at us uneasily for a while, and then walked away step by step .

The girl who had been hiding by the side waited for him to approach, and quickly grabbed him: "Didn't I tell you to stay away from them? Why did you follow them? The others have already left, why do you talk to them so much?" ?”

Xiaozhu: "I told them that your name is Xiaoni."

Xiaoni: "I heard it. It's so quiet around here. Many people who are hiding in the house must have heard it."

Xiaozhu: "They don't have it. People who don't directly contact ghosts can't hear it. My voice is in the aura of ghosts, and people who can't see ghosts during the day can't hear it."

Senior Lin: "It's strange. The light directly affects whether they can hear us. Why is it that our discrimination against them is not affected by the light? They are always translucent to us. They are not fresh, but they are enough. Let us see all their movements, expressions, and mouth shapes. It stands to reason that if light determines the degree of space-time isolation, then the impact of light on them and us should be at the same level."

04475-Should just take advantage of an existing phenomenon

Me: "Assuming that there is indeed an influence at the same level, and it is not manifested in our identification of these figures, then where will it be manifested? The clues left by Senior Fang?"

Senior Lin: "I doubt that what Fang Zhi left behind has such a big influence. It's not that it can't be done, but that this kind of influence on the people here is obviously negative. It's long-term depression and panic, but It's not to the point of complete despair. The female cultivators of the Yanxing Sect would not be so ruthless if it wasn't a big enemy; and if it was a big enemy, they wouldn't leave any "power gift" game, they would torture More thorough."

Senior Lin: "Fang Zhi probably just took advantage of an existing phenomenon."

Master Long: "Are you familiar with Yan Xingmen?"

Senior Lin: "How can heterosexual male cultivators who are interested in dating not pay attention to Yanxingmen? But in fact, heterosexual male cultivators are really not suitable to talk to Yanxingmen's disciples. It is too difficult. I don't know why, Yan Xingmen is particularly repulsive to purely heterosexual male cultivators, and they are not so hostile towards homosexual, bisexual, or even stallion men who are willing to come."

Senior Lin: "I just can't understand why the Yanxingmen's attitude towards the stallion man is okay?"

Me: "Maybe it's because the stallion man doesn't lie about his relationship? It was agreed at the beginning that he would lose his kidney, and if he agreed, he would be together, and if he disagreed, he would not be entangled. Xiu. Than those who said 'a couple for life' and made countless extravagant wishes, but turned their heads and said sadly 'I can't let them go', 'What will they do without me', 'You must understand me' "They can't shake your position in my heart" lover, at least an order of magnitude stronger."

Kong Suan: "Shouldn't the latter be hacked to death?"

Me: "I don't think death is a crime, it's fine if you get eunuched?"

Kong Suan: "Eunuchs can be cured."

Me: "The main point of action is to find medicine that has no solution, or find a powerful conjurer to cast a spell that has no solution, or your cultivation level has always been higher than his, and then connect the solution to your cultivation level." , as long as his cultivation base is not as high as his own, he will not be able to solve it."

Senior Lin: "I think hacking to death is an option. After all, some people will commit suicide after falling out of love."

Me: "It's just that I can't figure it out for a while. It's like a catastrophe in the heart. After getting through it, the will will be bright. Going through a profound emotional change is not a bad thing in the long run."

Senior Lin: "What if the person who made you lovelorn still want your life? Don't kill him?"

Me: "...Did you secretly change some concept? Why did you ask me? My answer is, these are two different things. If you let me break up in love, you are not guilty of death; but if you want my life, you are murdered. Murder, I will definitely chop it back."
