Chapter 47: Silver Feather’s Inference
"At that time, before you fell into the ghostly situation, you heard Kitayama Kyoryu's voice calling out to Shamu from the location of that corridor, right?" Besides worrying about Silver Feather, she was also a bit worried about Deep Rain's life and death. Her feelings towards Fukyuu were somewhat complicated. Thinking back then, the apartment dwellers and Pu Shenyu were initially in a hostile stance, but then after she entered the apartment, they all had a comradeship of sorts. So long ago, when some of the suspicion Silver Feather has long been released, and a long time without contact, but did not expect deep rain finally got married. She still remembers how much pain she was plunged into when Deep Rain's former lover, Bian Xing Chen, died tragically in the apartment's bloodletter mission. After all, she had taken the initiative to enter the apartment in order to save her lover, and in that respect, it was the same as Silver Night. "No." Mo Yuan shook his head slightly and said, "It was also only after I rendezvoused with you guys that I was able to determine that it was indeed the apartment's occupant from yesteryear." Silver Feather held her chin in thought, and after thinking for a long time, she said, "I think she should not be dead yet. She seems to be there to lure you guys deeper into that corridor. And I am still alive ……" Speaking here, she thought of another point, "I'm afraid that Midori, she might still be alive as well. It was because we were tracking down Midori that we came to Kitayama Shrine. It's hard to imagine it being a coincidence." "Perhaps …… it is." To the current Mo Yuan, the troublesome issue was that after entering here, it was not that simple to get out again. Otherwise, Silver Feather and Dong Ning would have gone out long ago. Right now, outside, it was very dangerous. Mo Yuan moved towards the location of the door once again, he had already tried for the unknown number of times. This time, could he succeed? He was extremely nervous at this time, constantly clenching his fists and adjusting his breathing. Coming to the front of the entrance hall, at this time, he was almost only a fist's distance away from the door. Then …… Right behind the door in front of him, there came an odd sound. If you distinguish it carefully, you will find …… that it is the sound of fingernails scratching on the other side of this door! Mo Yuan immediately began to back up a little bit. Almost when he was a full five meters away from the door, the sound of that scratching door stopped. Mo Yuan looked at the other residents who had gathered behind him, this time he paid careful attention to make sure that there was no one to reduce it, and said, ''It's still the same as always. As soon as we get close to the door, it's like this." Dong Ning looked towards the window next to him and also looked ugly, "The same thing doesn't work on the window side, as soon as you get close to the window, the same sound comes from the wall next to the window." Obviously this was a warning to the residents that trying to go out through the doors and windows was looking for death. And as for the second floor …… who dares to go up now? The blood that opened one eye, and the hand sticking out from the inside of the bed were still fresh in everyone's mind. Qin Ziyuan's eyes focused on the window in front of him, looked at it for a long time, and said, "If we can go out …… the first time is to go to the Wheel-in Dojo, right?" Kitayama Jinghuang nodded, "Yes, if maternal grandfather is still alive, there is a high probability that he is at the Wheel-in Dojo." Then, the biggest question in front of the occupants was …… how to escape from this house now? "Don't panic too much first." Mo Yuan thought it was still important to stabilize the morale at the moment, "So far, the occupants haven't shown any attrition, which means we probably haven't collected enough clues hints for the way of life." "Not having collected enough clues hints of the life path, and not being able to collect them, are two different concepts." However, Nie Han, who had been silent all this time, was the one who spoke at this moment, "You should know clearly that whether the Evil Spirit kills us or not does not lie in whether or not we have obtained the clues to the path of life, but also whether or not we are in a position where we have the ability to obtain the clues to the path of life, and at the same time, have enough time and the ability to trample on the path of life." When this sentence from Nie Han came out, the morale that Mo Yuan had raised with the words he had just uttered suddenly began to fall again. After all, Ming Chenyan, who was covered in blood, was still standing right next to him, and the sound of nails coming from outside the door just now was even more creepy. "Nie Han, you ……" "I never like blind optimism." Nie Han's words were so calm that they could be called cold: "Reality never shifts based on one's subjective will, and it's only right to recognize its cruelty earlier." Whether it's Mo Yuan or Qin Ziyuan, they can't see through Nie Han. As the most senior resident of the apartment nowadays, Nie Han had only made friends with Fang Han, other than that, she didn't communicate with anyone in the apartment, and everyone knew almost nothing about her. "I don't think so." Just then, Silver Feather spoke up, "The fact that Ming Chen Yan he's still alive right now is a clear proof. Leaving the body behind would have been the same if it was just to show the traces of the ring behind him. Blind optimism may not be desirable, but being pessimistic is just as unhelpful to the execution of the Blood Character." Nie Han coldly swept Silver Feather, then said noncommittally, "Think what you want." Compared to Nie Han, as a veteran resident who had managed to escape the apartment, Silver Feather's words instantly gave the residents a great deal of cheer, and many of them began to look at her with hopeful eyes, Dong Ning included. "Currently we can't leave, there are two possibilities." Seeing that everyone's emotions were beginning to settle down, Silver Feather held out two fingers and said, "First, we need to find some sort of special way to leave, the so-called Blood Character Segmented Life Path, and second, this place still hides clues to the life path that we haven't discovered, just like the game in which you can't trigger a new storyline level until you find the key plot props. I'm sure you've all noticed that every Bloodletter quest follows many of the same basic rules as an online game. The most important rule is that the apartment protects the lives of its occupants." This last sentence was actually known to every resident, but while people generally said it was "restrictions on evil spirits", Silver Feather emphasized it as "protection of the lives of the apartment's residents" at this point in time, with the aim of psychologically keeping the residents from being overly fearful. "Then, which one do you think is possible?" Dong Ning stood right beside Silver Feather and inquired, "Given the previous experiences of Mo Yuan and other people, I personally think the first possibility ……" "I think the second possibility has a higher probability." Silver Feather said here, putting her middle finger down, leaving only an erect index finger, "If it's the first possibility, it could be big enough to make it impossible for us to leave through a curse on space. However the sound that would occur as we approach the door, making it impossible for us to push our way out, would instead be a protection for our lives. No one would open the door and go out in such a situation, and such protection is clearly a restriction on the evil spirits." "So …… "Dong Ning understood something when he heard Silver Feather say this, "If it was a segmented path to life, it could have just let us open the door and then finish us off… …This kind of restriction instead indicates that the clues to the life path have not yet unfolded in front of us!" "Right," Silver Feather nodded, "That's why I just emphasized that the apartment will instead fully protect our lives when the clues to the life path haven't shown up yet. Of course if someone is foolish enough to open the door and go out at a time like this is triggering their own death, then they deserve it. Deliberately letting us stay here is to make us look for the life path clues." Qin Ziyuan always felt that something wasn't quite right and retorted, "Not necessarily ah, what if it's said to be giving us time to think about the life path?" "If it is said to be time to think about the life path, it seems to be too long." To this, Silver Feather replied thus, "When Mo Yuan approached the entrance hall just now, there were still voices outside the door. Obviously, we are in a game level where we cannot leave the plot location without obtaining key plot props." "Well …… that's quite a simple and easy to understand statement for me who often plays games." Qin Ziyuan thought of this, looked behind him, and said, "I see…… So we still have to go to the second floor, right? Because just now, Ming Chenyan came down from the second floor. This is most likely a deliberate attempt to make us not dare to go to the second floor." "The second floor most likely still has important clues to the way of life, but it was ignored by us." Mo Yuan thought of his previous experience and realized that this line could not be avoided, I'm afraid. Thus, the occupants had no choice but to go upstairs. And they also realized that if they found the key life path clues, then …… the killing of this blood word mission was about to begin!
