Chapter 72 Analysis
Chapter 72 Analysis

Li Mu and others naturally had no idea what happened in Wu Ji. In fact, they were now a little confused by Bai Yanliang's words.

"Wait... Mr. Bai, are you saying that all the strange situations we encountered were caused by the disorder of time?"

Li Mu frowned and asked in confusion.

Bai Yanliang nodded and said, "Well... considering what everyone just said, this should be the case."

"Li Laosi, who was seen the day before his death, was already highly decomposed the next day. The window that should have existed a year ago was suddenly seen again by Yu Sheng."

At this point, Bai Yanliang glanced at Yu Sheng: "It's also interesting that you cracked the dead end. Although your idea is problematic, your method is correct. The ghost does not exist in the same time and space as us, and the fact that it needs to climb over the window to get in just proves this point. There were windows when it appeared, and the windows of Snow Village were sealed last year, so... we can understand that it was standing in the past a year ago and looking at Yu Sheng in the present. The act of climbing over the window seems simple, but it is actually entering a time point without windows from a time point with windows, and Yu Sheng's response method is equivalent to marking out a time division node again, so... it disappeared."

Bai Yanliang explained in great detail, and the people present were not stupid. After thinking for a moment, they understood what he meant.

But even though they understood it, Bai Yanliang's idea was too bizarre to be accepted by several people.

"A ghost that can manipulate time... this... is a little too unbelievable." Lin Yan frowned and murmured in a low voice.

But this time, it was Li Mu who answered her questions.

He looked at Bai Yanliang with admiration and said, "You misunderstood Mr. Bai. The time and space confusion in Wuji Village may not be caused by ghosts. What we need to find and solve is not the cause of this phenomenon. I asked the village chief during the day. According to him, the people in this village fled here in ancient times, but they could never leave after entering. However, this statement is obviously a lie, at least... it is not entirely true."

"Yeah." Yu Sheng said softly, "Although it is poor and backward, there are signs of ancient civilization in this village, and the language is also ancient, and... Lu Bingyan's mother is an outsider."

"Wait." Bai Yanliang suddenly looked at Yu Sheng and asked, "Does she take her mother's surname?"

Yu Sheng nodded: "Yeah."

"What's her mother's name?"

Yu Sheng thought for a moment and said, "It seems to be called... Lu Rendong."

"Yes, it's Lu Rendong."

A hint of doubt flashed across Bai Yanliang's eyes, and then a hint of understanding.

If it was really her...

"What's wrong?" Lin Yan and the other two were a little confused by the conversation between the two.

Bai Yanliang stroked his chin, looked at the flickering candlelight on the table, and said, "Xiao Bin said that the woman who was sacrificed at the homecoming ceremony last year was Lu Rendong, and he has a strange liking for Lu Rendong."

"No way?" Lin Yan's eyes widened. "Xiao Bin and Lu Bingyan are about the same age. Lu Rending can be his mother!"

"When love comes, age cannot stop it." The person who said this was Su Qian.

Her mood was still very low. It was obvious that Yu Hanzhou's death was not something she could get over quickly.

No one was too concerned about this issue.

Li Mu took out a notebook, flipped through a few pages, and frowned.

"Women... The biggest problem in this Wuji Village lies with women. Do you know why all the women in the village have gone crazy?" Li Mu asked.

Everyone shook their heads, only Su Qian seemed to remember something and suddenly said: "They...are not all crazy."

"What do you mean?"

Everyone's eyes were focused on Su Qian. Su Qian adjusted her mood, met everyone's gaze, and said, "Today, Assistant Director Yu and I went door to door to uncover the black cloth on the cages and asked them one by one. Although... most of them did not respond, there was one who was a little strange..."

Su Qian tilted her head, she was still a little confused.

"She suddenly rushed towards us, banging the iron cage desperately, and was extremely agitated. She looked... not much different from those crazy women, but Assistant Director Yu said that something was wrong with her."

"What's wrong?" Li Mu asked seriously.

Su Qian recalled what Yu Hanzhou said at that time, and her heart was filled with sadness again.

"Assistant Director Yu said she was crying."

"Crying?" Lin Yan asked in confusion, "Aren't all the women in this village howling like ghosts and wolves?"

Su Qian shook her head and said, "No... her crying is different from those women's."

Li Mu tapped his fingers on the wooden table, thought for a moment, and said, "She might be pretending to be crazy. Maybe she knows something. Let's go find her tomorrow morning."

Everyone nodded, and Bai Yanliang suddenly said to Li Mu: "Can I borrow a pen and paper?"

Li Mu was startled, then handed him the small notebook and pen in his hand: "Of course."

Bai Yanliang took the paper and pen and wrote something seriously.

When everyone came closer to take a look, they realized that he was not writing, but drawing. What he drew was... a strange inverted triangle.

"This is a bird's-eye view of Wuji Village. We are... here." Bai Yanliang pointed to a corner and said, "The village chief's home."

Everyone looked in the direction of his finger.

"This corner is Xiaobin's home."

"This corner is Lu Rendong's home."

Now, everyone has noticed something strange. How could it be such a coincidence?

"In the entire village, there are only three households without iron cages in front of their doors, and those are the three places. In other words, only in these three households there are no crazy women." Bai Yanliang looked at everyone and said.

"Wait, something is wrong." Li Mu pointed at one of the corners and asked, "Lu Rendong is Lu Bingyan's mother, so she should be the village chief's daughter-in-law. Lu Bingyan now lives next door to the village chief's house, and they live side by side. It's not considered a separate family. So... whose house did she live in originally?"

Li Mu's question instantly caused everyone's suspicion. Yes...

Lu Bingyan has not married yet. The most likely possibility is that the place she lives in now is the house left behind by her father and mother Lu Rending.

But... in this case, how come Lu Rending has a home in one of the corners of the inverted triangle?

Couple separated?

By the way, Lu Bingyan's father has also died. He died last year, after Lu Rending.

The numerous doubts are nested in each other, making everyone feel a little at a loss. Tomorrow... is the last day, and there are still so many doubts that have not been clarified.

The last day of the survival mission is also the most dangerous day. Ghosts can break through certain restrictions and attack all living things in front of them.

"This ghost should be Lu Rending. After the Homecoming Festival last year, more than a dozen people died in Wuji Village. This is obviously her revenge. We'd better not get close to those villagers tomorrow. Although she is an irrational and emotionless ghost, her hatred should be more directed at the villagers who killed her..."
