Chapter 727

Compared with most of the girls, Hongye's voice is much lower and solemn.Even if he slowed down his tone, it was still difficult to conceal his elder-like attitude.When she mentioned that "this incident may have been caused by Zhou Yu", she still kept the same tone of voice, which made Zhou Yu unable to tell whether there was a meaning of blame in this sentence.

"Is it related to me? Because I don't belong here?"

Hongye slowly shook her head.

"Although it's different from the ghost trick you understand, you really shouldn't play that game. The design of the form is already close to ritual in this city."

"Spiritualism, right? Summoning ghosts or something?"

"No... something very different."

Hongye showed a complicated look again, that kind of expression is like a scholar who wants to explain the universe to a baby.

"In this city, there are no conventional ghosts, only phenomena. Zhou Yu, if you use these two names, what do you think is the difference between magic and technology?"

Hearing Hongye's question, Zhou Yu tried to think.He wasn't completely out of ideas about it, but because he was so tired, there was only a throbbing pain in his head.After being dazed for a long time, he said, "Rule."

"No, the latter also has its rules. If it's a difference...let's call it an 'entity'."

Momiji wandered around the room for a while, and finally landed on the electric light on the roof.

"For example, Zhou Yu, even if you know the design of the circuit, if you don't have the corresponding materials, you can't make an electric light. This kind of "principle based on things" can also be called a It's called technology."

Her hand was raised slightly, revealing the outline of a sword in the light of the lamp.

"So relative, it doesn't rely on real material, but only relies on laws, conventions, and concepts to appear, which is the 'law instrument'."

"...Is it idealism?"

"It seems to be called that in your world." Hongye smiled very subtly.Different from the forced smile before, this time it should really make her feel a little bit funny.

"I haven't heard of the four-corner game you mentioned. But its form is a kind of ritual in this city. Constantly exercising and emphasizing the concept of 'empty' will itself attract 'full'. Repeatedly making The process of empty corners, this is emphasizing the void. In order to fill it, something must flow out of the void...but that is something created out of nothing, not the soul after death as you understand it."

"Creating something out of nothing, is it like your sword?"

"That's a little different...my sword is a more complicated thing." Seeing Zhou Yu's frowning and enduring expression, she immediately turned her palm over, and the shadow of the sword disappeared.

"In addition to 'empty', this game is still emphasizing the second concept, that is 'passing'. The four people are constantly advancing in a circular manner, which is a form of imposing one's own state on others. It is just to fill the 'empty' 'And the things that appear, through continuous 'passing', circulate, flow, and increase on the four of you. Generally speaking, the four people involved will get it... Although I don't know why you are all right."

"After talking for a long time, what exactly is that?"

"That's... a pure phenomenon. I have to ask you about this, Zhou Yu. Before playing the game, did you think of anything special? Especially related to negative emotions."

"Does a particularly ugly mannequin count? Some annoying guy keeps saying it's coming to life."

"Is it really alive?"

"No."

"It shouldn't be."

Hongye's tone was not sure either, she paused and asked again: "Are you really not thinking about other things? Even if you just mentioned something inadvertently."

Zhou Yu tried his best to recall.After Xiong Qiaoer arrived, he seemed to have told many ghost stories, but he didn't listen to it at the time.In fact, he didn't have much communication with the members of the Ghost Club, the only exception was Zhang Mumu, and maybe Chen Wei.

"……correct."

Thinking of Chen Wei, his memory was finally awakened.

"A few hours before the game started, it was said that a girl who committed suicide was a classmate in college."

"Suicide... It would be a pity to commit suicide in this city."

"It's the same everywhere."

"Too."

Although she said so in her mouth, Hongye's expression did not agree. It seemed that from her point of view, suicide in Migenzhu was a very special thing.

"Can you tell me about the girl who committed suicide?"

About Tang Yan who committed suicide, Zhou Yu herself knew very little, so she could only tell what she knew.After listening, Momiji immediately began to sigh.

"...It should be this matter."

"what?"

"What fills the 'empty' in your game is 'Tang Yan's phenomenon'. It was passed on to Ms. Zhang through your ceremony, and this is the root of her strange disease. That's why I say that I'm afraid it's you Caused by it, Zhou Yu, because you had the idea of ​​finding out the cause of Tang Yan's death, this answer will come out of the 'empty'. The body you are attached to has this ability. If you use it properly, in this city You can know anything, but it's dangerous and I hope you don't try."

"Sounds like a witch."

Zhou Yu casually commented.For some reason, Hongye lowered her head as if choking, and lightly hammered her chest.When she found Zhou Yu staring at her strangely, she hurriedly said, "It's nothing. Anyway, what Ms. Zhang is experiencing now is exactly what Tang Yan experienced before she died. If it continues, it may be dangerous."

"Will you jump off the building too?"

"I don't know about this. It was just a reenactment of the phenomenon, and there was no intention to kill. But if you were really looking for the 'reason for Tang Yan's suicide', this phenomenon will definitely lead to suicide or cause people to die." A state of mind that seeks death."

After listening to Hongye's words, Zhou Yu felt even more at a loss.If Tang Yan's suicide really happened to Zhang Mumu, is it because of the strange disease of loss of cold and heat?Although this is indeed very inconvenient, it is far from the level that requires suicide.Is there more serious symptoms in the later stages of the disease?Or is it not a disease, but represents other things, such as curses, decapitation, etc.?He quickly suppressed these thoughts, forcing himself to focus on the most important things.

"Then, how to get rid of this phenomenon? Since you say it's not a ghost, it's useless to burn paper for Tang Yan, right?"

"Yes, it doesn't work. Giving personality and ethics to the phenomenon after death, it won't work here. If there is a way... I know several people can crack it, but there is only one person who can hope to find it. I think it can be done in three days. Found it."

When she said this, the expression on Hongye's face was not relaxed.Zhou Yu, who noticed this, asked, "Is that person hard to talk to?"

"No, he used to be very talkative, and he would help you free of charge as long as you needed it. But for some reason, he seems to have changed his mind now and disappeared completely. To be honest, I have been searching for him these days , This is the 'important matter' I said before. If you find him, you should be able to find a few other people by the way, I think there will always be someone who is willing to treat Miss Zhang."

Hongye's tone was very calm, but she could still hear a hint of disappointment in it.Zhou Yu felt very familiar with the feeling of frustration that he felt so strongly longing to find someone, but finally had to admit that he was powerless.He understood the secret almost by intuition.

"Did that person have a good relationship with you before?"

"Well...the elders who took care of a lot when I was young."

She was silent for a while, and then said: "He was my father's housekeeper before he died, and he took care of me instead of my father before I entered the mountain as a teacher."
