Chapter 3 The Substitute(1/2)

The strange feeling in Ji Li's heart became stronger and stronger. He always felt that there was something wrong with this funeral procession, but he couldn't put his finger on it.

And then, he heard a heart-rending scream, coming from none other than those drunkards!

Without hesitation, he ran immediately. On the way, he saw that there were only two drunkards left, and the fat man who drank the most was nowhere to be seen!

Ji Li's eyelids twitched, and he immediately realized that the first deceased had appeared!

The tall and thin man and Huang Mao were at a loss for words at the moment. They could only look at Ji Li and then at the blurry funeral procession, unable to say a word.

Ji Li grabbed the tall, thin man with a confused expression and asked in a low voice: "What just happened!"

The tall and thin man pointed at the stone wall where Liu Zi was in confusion and fear, trembling: "Liu Zi... Liu Zi..."

Ji Li pushed him away impatiently and turned to look at Huang Mao.

Huang Mao was the most sober among the three people present. He breathed a long sigh of relief, glanced at the funeral procession that was gradually disappearing, and said softly: "We are hiding here, and when those people leave, we just turn our heads.

, Liuzi disappeared directly on the spot, and until now we don’t know what happened..."

disappear suddenly…

Ji Li's heart trembled, and he quickly asked: "Is that all?"

Huang Mao was still frightened, but he couldn't figure it out. He said hesitantly: "I only heard three words before he disappeared."

"how do I……"

"that's it?"

"that's it!"

Ji Li's face was livid, he looked at the funeral procession that was gradually going away, and he speculated in his mind.

The murder of Liuzi must have triggered a dead end.

Perhaps what he saw before his death and his last words that were not his last words would reveal some clues.

But everything is too vague to recall.

"Things won't be that simple. Those people will definitely come back and kill us all!"

As soon as these words came to my mind, the funeral procession that had disappeared in the alley showed its head again and quickly approached in the direction of Ji Li and others!

The tall and thin man looked like he had seen a ghost and was about to run away, but Ji Li grabbed his wrist and forced him to stay here.

"Those who can't escape may still have a chance of survival if they stay and find out the rules for its killing!" Ji Li said word by word as he looked at the team that was getting closer and closer.

"what is it?"

"ghost."

The tall and thin man and Huang Mao looked at each other and took a step back. They looked at Ji Li as if they were looking at a psychopath.

But they didn't escape. Maybe they subconsciously realized that there was something supernatural among those people in white!

"When the funeral procession first approached, I kept an eye on everyone's movements.

Until Liuzi died, I can be sure that the man in white had no chance to take action.

Then, maybe the real abnormality is the coffin!"

This is the second time a living person collides with a funeral procession.

Now Ji Li's attention was entirely focused on the coffin.

As the distance shortened, he still found nothing unusual.

At least that's what it looked like from the outside. The coffin was heavy and it obviously contained a corpse.

"Huh? Do you think the weight of the coffin has changed?" Just when Ji Li was confused, a cold and slightly doubtful voice from the third personality in his mind appeared.

"hiss…"

"The ropes on the shoulders of the coffin bearers have fallen a bit lower than before!"

Ji Li's eyes lit up and he followed the third personality's words.

Sure enough, as he said, this time he passed by.

The shoulders of the four coffin bearers were cut into their flesh by the ropes, and their steps were much heavier than before.

"Where did Liu Zi's body go?" This question suddenly appeared in Ji Li's mind, and his thinking began to boldly extend.

Generally speaking, ghosts don’t do things randomly, every detail is a matter of life and death!

Liu Zi died, so why did his body disappear?

But if you think about the increased weight of the coffin, is there a possibility that the coffin now contains the corpses of the ghost and Liuzi?!

Ji Li looked at the coffin that was getting closer and closer, and he clearly felt a chilling aura that shook his mind.

Liuzi's death was obviously due to seeing something, so judging from the position he was at at that time.

He should be very close to the coffin!

Ji Li took a breath of air. Everything abnormal was related to the coffin...

"Then it seems that the coffin holds the deepest secret. If we want to find clues, we must expose this secret!"

Ji Li's eyes were filled with confusion. It wouldn't take a moment for the coffin to pass by his location. This was his rare chance.

But it is still unclear whether opening the coffin will lead to life or death. His repeated deaths made him walk on thin ice every step of the way.

He slowly turned his head and looked at the two silent men beside him. If he wanted to achieve his goal at the lowest cost, the easiest way was of course to use the people around him...

"You two, I can tell you frankly that the six sons were killed by the ghost in the coffin!"

The tall and thin man suddenly shrank his neck and looked at Ji Li with increasingly panicked eyes.

Huang Mao's psychological quality was much better than his. After a few struggles, he asked: "What do you mean..."

Ji Li breathed a sigh of relief and said quietly: "Everyone in this alley has been targeted by it. Only by finding out its killing rules, maybe we still have a chance to survive!"

Then he changed the subject, looked at Huang Mao and the tall and thin man, took out two sharp knives from his bag, and threw them in front of them.

"I'll give you a choice. If you believe me, just pick up the knife and let's lift the lid of the coffin from all directions at the same time!"

quiet……

The scene froze for a brief moment following Ji Li's words, and the air was filled with confusion and fear.

"No...no!

Even if what you said is true, the evil ghost is in the coffin, and if we go to open the coffin, we are asking for death!" The tall and thin man clung to the wall and growled in retort.

Ji Li narrowed his eyes and said nothing, but Huang Mao picked up the sharp knife first.

"He's right. The six sons died tragically for no reason. All of this was due to supernatural forces!

At the time of death, only Liuzi was closest to the coffin, so all sources must be on top of the coffin."

Huang Mao's psychological quality and calm mind have caught up with Ji Li, a "professional" to a certain extent.

He was sweating profusely, holding the knife in his hand, and looked at Ji Li: "Are you sure...if we open the coffin, will we be able to discover the rules of killing by ghosts?"

Ji Li nodded solemnly, his hand also climbed to the back of his waist and tightened his grip on the handle of the knife.

His eyes fell on the coffin that was about to arrive. Different from the last time he passed by, he smelled a strange smell after close contact...

The smell of death!

He has experienced this taste more than once, and it all comes from himself!

Then he looked at the coffin, which was shaking up and down and obviously heavy. He was almost 80% sure that Liuzi's body was in the coffin!

In response to Huang Mao's question, his tone was very light, but with indescribable confidence:

"The coffin hides ghosts, but it also hides the rules of killing.

As long as we overcome fear and master this hidden rule, we will definitely win this time!"

Ji Li clutched the handle of the knife. He did not look at where Huang Mao and the tall man were, but walked straight to a corner. At this position, he was facing the southeast corner of the coffin.

At the same time, after much hesitation, Huang Mao chose to stand parallel to the left side of Ji Li, facing the northeast corner of the coffin.

The tall and thin man chose to stand next to Huang Mao. He never felt confident, especially after looking at the group of people in white with facial expressions, his legs kept shaking.

When Ji Li saw all this from the corner of his eye, a cryptic smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

He didn't speak, but the third personality's slight sigh sounded in his mind.

"What you did is undoubtedly pushing these two people to a dead end...

The plan is good, and opening the coffin is indeed a good way to take the initiative, but the risk is also very high.

If you want to find out the hidden rules of killing, you must first see the killing.

You use the two reasons of "courage" and "survival" to force them to join your action, just to equalize the ghost's killing probability.

I have reduced my 100% to you to 30%..."

Having said all the words, it can be seen that the wisdom of the third personality is relatively outstanding, and he almost instantly understood Ji Li's intention.

All sounds disappeared, and living people and ghosts were looking for an opportunity.
