Chapter 229 Questions
Chapter 229 Question

"We will meet many people and see many faces in our lives, but the most familiar and unfamiliar person is ourselves." Bai Yanliang looked at several people and said seriously.

"When our own eyes see our own appearance, it is actually beautified and processed. That is the self-determination of your brain, or subconsciousness." At this point, Bai Yanliang asked the air, "Are you sure that what you saw on that shroud was your own face, and not a face that looked a bit like yours?"

After a moment of silence, Xu Zhifei said, "Not sure."

That's right.

Bai Yanliang felt more confident.

"What on earth is going on?" Lu Guo was confused.

If that’s the case, wouldn’t my fate be the same as Xu Zhifei’s?
Then he wouldn't suddenly become transparent too?
Lu Guo quickly looked at his hands.

Fortunately... no...

That’s right. The moment Xu Zhifei saw the face on the shroud, his face became transparent. If his situation was the same as hers, he should have undergone a change before that.

However, before Lu Guo could feel relieved, he saw Bai Yanliang and Yu Wenxuan staring at him strangely.

"What...what happened?"

Lu Guo suddenly felt a tingling sensation on his scalp.

Bai Yanliang looked at him and said seriously, "It is certain that you have also been cursed, but the manifestation is different. Xu Zhifei has become transparent." And rotting, Bai Yanliang silently added in his heart, "As for you, we don't know what changes will happen to you for the time being."

Lu Guo slowly opened his mouth, intending to refute, but found that what Bai Yanliang said seemed to be true.

Both he and Xu Zhifei saw a face that was extremely similar to their own.

The difference is that Xu Zhifei thinks that face is his own, while he thinks that face is a stranger.

Maybe... this is where the divergence of the mutation lies?
I won't turn into a monster...

Lu Guo felt a chill in his heart.

"Okay, let's leave this matter here for now. From the current perspective, this curse will not be fatal for the time being." Yu Wenxuan said, "Recall the explanation of this mission. There is one thing that has always been in my mind. The entire Wuji people were divided into three groups and arrived in three different villages to carry out the mission, but the explanation was the same. What does this mean?"

Bai Yanliang glanced at Yu Wenxuan and it turned out that he had noticed it too.

That’s right, in fact, after reading all the bloody words in Wu Ji, Bai Yanliang had this doubt.

Why do they use the same interpretation even though they are in different places?
And... in essence, this mission is actually the same mission.

To some extent, Wu Ji is quite fair. The difficulty of the unsolvable task facing everyone is naturally the same. Since it is the same task, why doesn't it simply point everyone to one village instead of three villages?
"Hide from the moon in the mountains, and fish out the coffin from the bottom of the water. It's easy to understand from the literal meaning, and it can even be said to be straightforward." Bai Yanliang was about to cross his arms, but suddenly realized that there was a transparent man tied to his left wrist, so he simply put his hands in his pockets, "Avoid being illuminated by the moon, and fish out the coffin from the bottom of the water."

"The former is easier to do, but the latter is difficult. Fishing the coffin from the bottom of the water... Where is the water? Whose coffin? Does Jieyu want us to go and fish the coffin? Or did the evil ghost this time be fished out of the coffin at the bottom of the water? If we don't understand these points and act rashly, we will die miserably." Yu Wenxuan folded his arms and said in a posture that Bai Yanliang envied.

"Another point is, why does every household in this village have funeral shrouds hanging in front of their doors? Why are the funeral shrouds all bright red? These two points also need to be clarified," Bai Yanliang added.

Yu Wenxuan thought for a moment and said, "As for the red shroud, I remember some rumors. Some remote areas still maintain the tradition of finding a spouse."

"Looking for a spouse?" Jiang Li said in disbelief. She had only heard of this term in movies. Was there really such a custom as looking for a spouse?

"Well, there are two theories. One is that both parties to the engagement died at the same time. Because they died young, some people believed that an isolated grave would affect the family's feng shui, so they held a wedding for the deceased man and woman and buried them together." Yu Wenxuan said.

"What about the second one?" Jiang Li was a little scared, but couldn't help wanting to hear it. ..."

From Yu Wenxuan's description, Jiang Li thought of the terrible situation and the feeling of despair, and for a moment he had difficulty breathing.

Bai Yanliang glanced at Yu Wenxuan and said, "Don't scare her."

Yu Wenxuan smiled and shrugged, and said nothing more.

Lu Guo had been listening quietly. The two of them talked back and forth, and soon sorted out the issues that needed to be clarified.

This relieved Lu Guo's psychological pressure a lot.

They are indeed very reliable, at least as a group, you will never worry about being without direction.

But after thinking about it carefully, Lu Guo didn't know where to start.

"This village is so strange, how can we investigate? Should we knock on every door? What if we end up in a ghost's house? Wouldn't that be sending ourselves to the door?"

Yu Wenxuan looked at him and said with a smile: "Mr. Lu, there is no such thing as 100% success in this world. For people like us, 1% hope is worth 100% effort."

"As for the ghost? Haven't you seen it before? There's nothing to be afraid of."

You really don't have to worry about your waist when you talk while standing...

Hearing Yu Wenxuan mention that incident again, Lu Guo felt a chill in his heart. He wondered if he was cursed or not. If he was cursed like Xu Zhifei, what would the symptoms be?

At this moment, the sound of the door opening suddenly rang out.

"Squeak-"

The sudden noise startled the uneasy Lu Guo and Jiang Li.

When the two turned their heads, they found that Bai Yanliang had pushed open the door with one hand.

"What are you going to do?"

Lu Guo looked at him and asked.

Bai Yanliang said as he walked out: "Go find clues before daybreak."

Looking for clues... Where can I find clues in this unfamiliar place?

Bai Yanliang was still too impatient.

Just as Lu Guo was thinking this, he discovered that Yu Wenxuan also got up and went out.

"You...you are also going to look for clues? You should wait until we have a clear understanding of the general situation of this village before going." Lu Guo advised.

"Ghosts won't wait for you to take your time, Mr. Lu." Yu Wenxuan said with a smile.

Although he was talking to Lu Guo, his eyes were not looking at him at all, but at Bai Yanliang.

"Besides, there's a ready-made person in this room. Why don't you go and ask him?"
