This is not a weird story

When the two of them came out side by side, the strangeness of this residence had completely disappeared. The walls no longer shook like waves, and all the graffiti on the walls had disappeared, returning to normal.

Pei Na stood not far outside the door, staring at Wei An and Lin Rui with flashing eyes.

Soon her eyes fell on Wei An and motioned for him to come over.

After Wei An and Lin Rui spoke a few more words, Xiao Jiejie hung from the ceiling and climbed onto Lin Rui's shoulders.

As Lin Rui's mood changed, Jiejie's expression was no longer fierce, but with a smile, she touched Lin Rui's cheek with her forehead.

Soon Wei An came to Pei Na and heard Pei Na whisper softly: "It turns out that he still listens to you the most."

Wei An didn't say anything. After Lin Rui returned to his home, he and Pei Na also went back downstairs and came to the red coffin where the cursed corpse was.

At this time, Wei An said: "The words I just said to Xiao Rui inevitably have the ingredients of chicken soup for the soul. Xiao Rui has a simple mind and will not think too complicated. But in my opinion, the actual situation may be more complicated than that." It was much more serious than expected.”

Pei Na frowned and asked, "What is your guess?"

Wei An paused, seemed to sort it out in his mind, and then replied: "Let's see what clues we know now. The first one is that Lin Rui looks exactly the same as his father. He was his father's son when he was young. It seems that the second one is that Lin Rui has some incomplete memories in his mind, which are about the human world, and he can also find one of the organization's strongholds in a trance. The third one is that his special abilities are very terrifying, which we are currently facing. The strange stories I have encountered are not seen among the indigenous humans, and their abilities are much stronger than the weird ones."

"So we can absolutely deduce that he is indeed related to the clan father. There is no doubt about this. It is completely normal to say that Lin Rui is a pawn laid by the clan father in the ghost story. Let's look at it based on my speculation. If so, he may be another self that my clan father recreated in this strange story through some extremely rare method, a self with powerful abilities that can be used as a backup."

As soon as these words came out, Pei Na's expression instantly froze.

Even the tall corpse in the nearby red coffin seemed to be touched by Wei An's speculation, and a yellow mushroom immediately grew on the coffin wall to the right, expressing doubts.

"You said, Xiao Rui is the backup given to you by your clan father?" Pei Na lowered her voice very low and turned to look at the entrance behind.

However, this place belongs to the territory controlled by the cursed corpse. The two chose to speak here because they were worried that they would be sensed by Lin Rui, but there was no chance of that happening here.

"Xiao Rui serves as the backup for the clan father. This is only a possibility." Wei An nodded, "There is another possibility in my speculation, which is to die as a substitute! If the clan father is in danger and must die, he may sacrifice Xiao Rui to help him. He died in his place.”

After a pause, Wei An continued: "There is a third possibility. Xiao Rui's growth can provide Congfu with an ability, which is the ability to manifest. If Xiao Rui dies, Congfu's special ability will be lost at this moment. will disappear, if Xiao Rui is always there, he can always use this ability, just like the weirdness in the ghost story."

Pei Na took a deep breath and said: "This third possibility is the mildest one, but I can't believe the two possibilities you mentioned earlier."

Wei An said: "In short, at this moment we already know that Xiao Rui has been in danger. We need to investigate this matter and eliminate this danger as much as possible. Where is Shen Lu? You go and contact her. I want to talk to her Let’s meet.”

Pei Na nodded.

central city.

Same hotel, same room.

After receiving Lin Rui's message, a young woman wearing a cloth hat and mask came to the door of the room and knocked on the door. Soon the door opened and the woman stepped into the room.

But this time she found that the room was not dim, but that the lights were on, which was even dazzling. She looked hard and found that Lin Rui was not in the room. Instead, it was Pei Na and a strange man she had never seen before. .

Surprised, Shen Lu quietly put the small silver pistol she had taken out just after entering the door into her pocket and said, "Aunt Pei, where is Lin Rui?"

Pei Na shook her head: "We want to see you this time, but Lin Rui didn't come."

Then she pointed at Wei An and introduced to Shen Lu: "This is the Uncle Wei that Lin Rui has always talked about."

"Hmm, Uncle Wei'an, Lin Rui often mentions you." Shen Lu nodded immediately, forcing a smile on her face.

After the room door was closed, the three of them came to the room and sat on the sofa and the bed.

"You don't need to call me uncle." Wei An smiled, "Although Xiao Rui has grown up very fast, his mind is still immature. You are different."

Shen Lu nodded hurriedly, her smile still forced, and she looked a little overwhelmed. In Pei Na's eyes, her appearance gave people the feeling of meeting her parents-in-law suddenly and unpreparedly.

Pei Na's original guess was somewhat confirmed at this moment.

"We came here specially to meet you this time so we won't beat around the bush." ​​Wei An said directly, "How did you betray your clan father?"

"Ah?" Shen Lu was startled, her eyes wide open, looking at Wei An and then at Pei Na.

The embarrassment just now has been completely replaced by surprise.

"You don't have to hide this matter." Wei An said: "An organization like Zongfu will definitely not allow anyone to quit without any reason. Even if the organization agrees to quit, your memory will definitely be erased, and it is even possible to kill you directly, instead of Let you leave peacefully."

Pei Na was ready to question this yesterday, but Lin Rui suddenly left at that time. She was worried that something might happen to Lin Rui, so she could only leave with him. Only then did she prepare to come over with Wei An to meet with Shen Lu for the second time before questioning.

Shen Lu looked embarrassed. After a while, she nodded: "Yes, I have something to hide in this matter. They want to kill me, and they think they have killed me, so I can survive until now."

After narrating the story, Wei An and Pei Na finally figured out the whole story of this girl.

Indeed, as she said, Shen Lu is responsible for the analysis of ghost stories within the organization. These tasks are similar to those of the management team's ghost story rules research team, except that the management team is obviously more professional.

However, plot analysis of Ghost Story is still an extremely core job, and Shen Lu is also a key employee in it.

In the process of analyzing the plot of Kaidan in the real world, she discovered that someone within the organization secretly transmitted information to the Gate of Hell through the plot, and she was also discovered by that person.

In order not to arouse suspicion, the man gave Shen Lu a great temptation to cooperate with him, because there would be extremely high rewards every time in the process of transmitting information to the gate of hell, but Shen Lu did not agree.

Originally, she was going to report it to the top of the organization immediately, but she didn't expect that person to take the lead and use forged evidence to slander Shen Lu for using her plot analysis work to secretly pass important information held by the organization to Hell's Gate.

That person had a high status within the organization, and Shen Lu immediately lost the opportunity and was unable to turn around.

Fortunately, she also left herself a way out. During the previous plot analysis work, she had mastered the escape techniques of the participants in the ghost story.

So she deliberately entered a ghost story to complete the mission, and actually arranged an escape hatch in advance. Then she died as a participant because she failed to complete the mission.

In fact, Shen Lu dropped a corpse that had been prepared in advance and could only exist in ghost stories, and then quietly left through the escape hatch.

"You can create corpses of participants that can only exist in ghost stories?" Wei An was surprised.

Shen Lu nodded: "As a key internal organization of the organization, we are rare in mastering this technology. However, ordinary participants cannot do this, and neither can I. Usually only the eldest son of the organization can do this. , relying on their own advantages, they can create the illusion that they are dead, and there are even complete corpses left behind, which cannot be found out even without careful internal inspection within the organization."

"Can Zongzi create the illusion of death in the ghost story?! And there is a complete corpse as a cover?" Wei An frowned.

At this moment, an unknown feeling suddenly arose in his heart.

"What are the conditions for becoming an eldest son? You just said that they can rely on their own advantages, so what are their own advantages?" Pei Na had the same idea as Wei An, and she also captured this key information.

Shen Lu said: "The eldest son was once a normal human being, but after the death of the human world, he transformed into the eldest son through his eldest father. After becoming the eldest son, they can only exist in the world of ghost stories. This is their unique advantage, and so is the corpse I left behind. It was left behind by a certain eldest son, but I had the body burnt and made some identity features blurry."

At this time, Wei An's feeling of uncertainty was getting heavier and heavier. He looked at Pei Na and saw that Pei Na was also looking at him.

A figure of a person appeared in their hearts at the same time.

Ying Xi!

Happy Lantern Festival everyone!
