Time back to half an hour ago.

Qin Wenyu and Qingshui Yuai never left the tram, and as the distance from home got farther and farther away, Shimizu Yuai's expression became more and more disturbed.

Along the way, she can see all kinds of scary ghosts hovering around her.

A strong fear invaded her heart.

If it wasn't for going home, it would be a dead end, and Qin Wenyu swore that she had found a way out, so she would definitely not continue to sit here.

"Mr. Qin..."

Shimizu Yuai finally couldn't bear it anymore, she asked in a low voice: "Can you tell me... what is the way of life?"

Qin Wenyu pressed the phone, sent a text message, looked up at her, and said with a smile: "It's actually very simple, you committed suicide."

Shimizu Yuai was startled at first, and then filled with doubts: "Suicide?"

She thought of the verse on the day of the Buddha's extinction. On the day of the Buddha's extinction, all things will die.

"You think about it too, the psychic has made it very clear," Qin Wenyu looked at the scars on her face, "Actually, after the six of you fell asleep on the night of March 30th, you woke up on March 31st. , already in a half-human, half-ghost state."

Shimizu Yuai looked at him in disbelief: "Half human...half ghost?"

Qin Wenyu nodded. He recalled the Ibuki Youxian and Yayoi Amemiya he saw at six o'clock in the morning. The behavior of those two women was no different from that of ghosts.

"I've seen it with my own eyes. The key to this feast, you should be very clear. This is a battle royale-like feast."

Qin Wenyu said: "Immortal Yijiao chose to stay away from Japan, and Garuda chose to keep moving. There is actually no big problem with their choices, but the problem is that the ghosts this time are not separated from you by spatial distance. "

He looked into Shimizu Yuai's eyes: "You can feel that it is nearby, but you can't always find it, because...it is on your body."

on my... body.

Shimizu Yuai shuddered, this statement made people shudder.

"There should be two rules for making it appear. One is that with the total duration of the feast, the gradual advancement of the seven days shows abnormalities."

"The second is... the distance, the distance from home."

Qin Wenyu said: "The farther you are from the place where you wake up, the faster it will wake up."

"But..." Qingshui Yuai couldn't help but move closer to Qin Wenyu, "I can still see some scary things wandering around. Are they... really hallucinations?"

Qin Wenyu shook his head: "The supernatural phenomena that you can see in your eyes don't exist in the real world, at least neither I nor the other passengers can see them. So did the fairy who got on the plane, and Garuda who had fallen to his death. Although I don't know what they saw before they died, but that should be the last reminder."

"Last... hint..."

Qing Shuijieai repeated Qin Wenyu's words.

"Yes, let you realize that there is no spatial distance between the ghost and you. One more thing... You escaped the terrifying space created by the ghost after cutting your cheek. Why? Have you thought about this problem, Miss Shimizu."

Shimizu Yuai pondered for a moment, then said: "Wang Yue said, it's some kind of request from the ghost, as long as you follow that request, you can get rid of it temporarily."

Qin Wenyu closed his eyes, with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "That's right, but... why do ghosts have such a request? Their purpose has always been to kill humans directly, and they can't leave a way for humans to save their lives. There is only one possibility—this is the way of life left by the sacrificial banquet.”

Shimizu Yuai suddenly realized, and a strong sense of conviction emerged spontaneously.

"That's right... it's like this, Li Gui's words... there is no reason to keep that kind of rule. This is a secret door opened by the sacrificial banquet to restrict it, or...to leave us a way out..."

"Mr. Qin! You are so amazing!"

Shimizu Yui said excitedly.

Qin Wenyu opened her eyes and glanced at her, and asked, "Speaking of which, Miss Qingshui agreed to cooperate with me just like that. Aren't you worried that I will harm you?"

The happy expression on Qingshui Jie'ai's face subsided slightly, and she lowered her head and said, "Even if I don't listen to Mr. Qin... I have no other way."

Qin Wenyu was a little surprised by her honest answer.

After a while, she saw Qingshui Jie'ai raised her head with tears in her eyes. She looked at him and asked, "Mr. Qin... Can a person like me really survive the sacrificial banquet?"

Qin Wenyu wanted to answer her: it was difficult. But the words turned into: "Didn't you already live to this day?"

After saying this sentence, Qin Wenyu was also a little surprised.

It wasn't like he would say something.

Shimizu Yuai's mood improved, she said with a smile: "Everyone said that Mr. Qin is a strange person without emotional intelligence. It seems that the rumors are really unbelievable."

Qin Wenyu's face stiffened, she forced a smile, and stopped talking.

"But...Mr. Qin..." Shisui Jiexi looked down at her hands, her hands were tangled together, "Is suicide really the only way? If this method is wrong..."

Qin Wenyu glanced at her.

Some more cruel words he did not say.

Because this method has no fault tolerance, once it fails, it means death, so... no one dares to try it.

Setting the path of rebirth in such a place is indeed in line with the verse of the day when the Buddha passed away.

The time of death has been set, and reversal to survive.

But...what if it's wrong?

After all, there is no evidence at all, and it can only be tried with life.

Ichigo and Garuda tried out some rules with their own lives, but so far it's just speculation.

The reason why Qin Wenyu found her was not only because she was the last person to leave the house, but also because...whether it was Yibu Youxian or Yayoi Amemiya, he didn't want any accidents for them.

Therefore, the person who becomes the test subject can only be her.

He didn't say these words, but they really existed.

Recently, he has been in a strange mood.

It's been weird since went to the original wood village.

The man's words also echoed in his mind occasionally.

"You are also a test subject."

He said so.

The funny thing is, maybe his own fate is similar to that of Shimizu Yuai, who is now a test subject, or even more tragic.

At this time, Shimizu Yuai said: "And... Mr. Qin, you haven't said the meaning of cutting your cheek..."

Qin Wenyu came back to his senses and said, "Actually, this is the biggest reason why I can be sure that your current state is half-human and half-ghost."

After finishing speaking, Qin Wenyu turned on the front camera of the mobile phone and handed it to Shimizu.

"Look at the stab wound on your face for yourself."
