My future diary cannot be the last one

In order to break the situation, Xun Xi first looked at Qi Dongqiang.

Because in the second diary, "he" investigated the Hehua Village for seven days, but it was haunted every day, and in the end he was unable to explore the Qi family's ancestral home.

So this time he planned to nip it in the bud.

Summarize the lessons learned from journaling.

In the diary, it was obvious that Hua Jingyuan directly revealed his official identity and then directly interrogated him, which led to Qi Dongqiang's overreaction.

That's why Xun Xi initially intervened as Qi Dongqiang's "half-brother." Not because he had nothing to do, but because he wanted to avoid overstimulating Qi Dongqiang and buy him time to sneak into his ancestral home. In the end, the development of things was not much different from Xun Xi's expectation.

Deal with Qi Dongqiang in advance.

In this way, the seven-day haunting incident in the second diary will not happen again, and Qi Dongqiang will no longer be able to interfere with Xun Xi's actions.

Originally, Xun Xi planned to torture the details of this ceremony from Qi Dongqiang.

However, Qi Dongqiang didn't know anything about it.

"My father's ceremony? Isn't my father dead?"

"How did he die? I killed him."

"How to kill? Poison."

As a result, Xun Xi had to admit that Qi Dongqiang was just a fool and didn't know anything. No wonder he was almost deformed when she arrived.

However, Xun Xi did not expect that he would get nothing, but Hua Jingyuan would get an unexpected gain.

When Xun Xi carried Qi Dongqiang to the village gate to meet Hua Jingyuan and Wu Mao, Qi Dongqiang, who had been shouting non-stop, was stunned when he saw the old man standing next to Hua Jingyuan. It wasn't until the old man looked over that Qi Dongqiang lowered his head and said timidly:

"grandfather."

"You brat!" Before Qi Dongqiang could finish his words, the old man came over and slapped Qi Dongqiang with his hand, and said sternly: "If you don't learn from the good ones, you will learn from the bad ones!"

Qi Dongqiang suddenly wilted.

"He is your grandfather?" Xun Xi was a little surprised.

This Qi Hehua is really not a thing. In the diary, he slaughtered all the Hehua Village. So the son killed him and his father didn’t let him go?

Black-hearted capitalist.

He is indeed an orphan.

"My name is Qi Delong." The old man introduced himself: "This brat's grandfather, Qi Hehua's father. I lied to you when I said I had lived for more than two hundred years. I originally wanted to use this to remind you that there is a ghost in this village, so get out of here. . But now it seems that it was unnecessary for me."

"How could that be! You've been a big help!"

Upon hearing this, Xun Xi immediately stepped forward enthusiastically and grabbed the old man's hand: "Hello, grandpa, my name is Xun Xi, and I am Dong Qiang's most trusted brother."

".Brother?" The old man looked at Qi Dongqiang.

".Brother!" Xun Xi also looked at Qi Dongqiang.

The next second, Qi Dongqiang made the most correct choice: "No! Thanks to Brother Xun just now, otherwise I don't know what would have happened!"

Qi Dongqiang's words are indeed sincere.

After all, he still feels nauseous when he thinks of the flesh flower on top of his head.

The talk of three flowers gathering at the top, the five qi rising to the vitality, and the power of spiritual practice are all lies!

".I made a decision!"

Thinking of this, Qi Dongqiang's filial piety suddenly changed, and he said viciously: "If you can create such a ghost thing, my father might not be dead yet."

"I will give you my father's heavenly book."

"Help me kill him!"

Hua Jingyuan and Wu Maang looked at each other when they heard this, and finally Hua Jingyuan said: "But Qi Hehua's body is there for all to see, is it fake?"

"It's not fake."

At this moment, the old man Qi Delong suddenly said: "What is in the coffin is indeed the body of my unfilial son, but it is only the body."

"What's the meaning?"

"Return to the Soul Night."

Xun Xi suddenly spoke. When Qi Delong heard this, he glanced at him in surprise, then nodded and said: "Yes. Soul Resurrection Night. The consciousness of my unfilial son has actually left the body, and is wandering in the Lotus Village, passing through the gate of hell, until the first seven days. That day will come back again.”

The first seven soul nights.

Xun Xi also thought of this word because of the "seven-day investigation" mentioned in the future diary. It seems that seven days is the time limit for this ceremony.

At the same time, Qi Delong had no intention of hiding anything and said calmly:

"That's a ceremony called Soul Resurrection Night."

"I don't know where the unfilial son got it from. I only know that it comes from the same person as the Book of Heaven in his hand."

"The content of the ceremony is very simple."

"He must first die in the hands of his closest relatives, then in the place where his blood originates, then lie in a specially made coffin specially used to hold the dead but not yet dead, and finally live for a full seven days. Only then can he live on the seventh day The consciousness returns, crosses the gate of hell, and achieves a higher realm from then on.”

"Realm?" Hua Jingyuan frowned.

"God knows." Qi Delong shook his head: "That's what he said anyway. And I, Dong Qiang, and the villagers are his chosen sacrifices."

"By the way, his body is immortal in the coffin and cannot be destroyed at all."

"but."

Having said this, Qi Delong paused, and then continued: "That's all, anyway, the unfilial son is ignorant now, and he won't be able to hear what he said."

".To put it bluntly, this is just one of the rituals."

"one!?"

"Yes." Chidron nodded: "There are two ceremonies in this place. And the second ceremony should be the reason why you come here."

After hearing this, Hua Jingqian suddenly understood: "It's a murder game played by the Relief Society."

According to the invitation, three characters will appear in this murder game, namely the murderer, the deceased, and the detective.

The three of them play detectives.

"I am the murderer in the ritual." Qi Delong explained: "The person who handed this ritual to me told me the loopholes in the night ritual of the unfilial son's soul. As long as I use it properly, I can completely make him fail and die. In this Hehua Village, all the villagers must die to apologize."

"That's why I asked you to wait seven days."

"Wait, are you the murderer?"

Hua Jingyuan fell into deep thought after hearing this: "We are detectives and follow the rules of the ritual. Have we solved the case? But the ritual is not over yet."

Before he finished speaking, Xun Xi's voice suddenly sounded: "Ah? Are you leaving~?"

Hua Jing complained: "."

No appearance: "."

"If you have something to say, you can just say it, don't do this." Hua Jing complained and covered her face helplessly.

Xun Xi was not embarrassed at all, and continued with a normal expression: "Grandpa, you may not be the murderer of the ritual, you may also be the victim."

".What?" Qi Delong frowned upon hearing this.

Xun Xi chuckled and said, "I have gradually understood everything."

"This is a double ritual. Not only are there two rituals, but there are also two truths."

"Two truths?"

"That's right." Xun Xi looked at the surprised Wu Maang, then stretched out an index finger, with an evil smile on his face: "There is always more than one truth!"

"Talk like a human being." Wu Maang responded coldly.

"Oh." Xun Xi changed the subject:

"To put it simply, if grandpa's plan really succeeds, then he is the murderer, and Qi Hehua becomes the victim, changing from fake death to real death. If grandpa's plan fails, then no matter whether Qi Hehua's soul-returning night ritual fails or succeeds, grandpa You will all become victims, and Qi Hehua will become the murderer."

Just like the two future diaries he saw.

"In other words."

"The murderer and the deceased are like Schrödinger's cat, always in a superposition state. The truth is always uncertain until the last moment."

“That’s why a third party was brought in.”

"That is, detective."

"We are the third force in this ceremony, and we are the weight that determines the balance. If we help Qi Hehua, grandpa will definitely fail. If we help grandpa, it will be difficult for Qi Hehua to succeed. Just like the definition of detective, we decide who Whoever is the murderer is the murderer."

Speaking of this, Xun Xi's eyes glowed slightly:

"Bringing equal relief to all things in the world." He said the preface of the Relief Society's invitation: "This ceremony perfectly implements this."

"Qi Hehua becomes stronger with the help of rituals."

"The villagers used rituals to get revenge."

"Both sides are likely to achieve their wishes and receive their 'relief'. The probability is 50-50, and there will be no bias."

At this point, Xun Xi closed his mouth.

There was one thing he didn't say.

The Relief Society was, after all, a heretical organization that worshiped the god of murder. Therefore, the so-called relief is still essentially a gift to the god of murder. So as a being who can determine the final outcome of the ritual, he and they, who play the role of detective, are also standing in the position of the God of Murder?

After all, why did the Relief Society send an invitation letter to Jingguisi, inviting them to come to Hehua Village to participate in this double ceremony?

Do you have nothing to do and provoke the authorities?

Not too possible.

Thinking of this and the messy memories of "him" in the diary, Xun Xi couldn't help but feel a little numb: Could this relief be for herself?

This time, the third update will be posted together. Thank you to all the readers who have followed up to this point~
