This sentence was said very seriously by Lao Gao, it can be seen that he didn't have the slightest intention of joking, Xiao Mo looked at him with fear in his eyes, and then asked in confusion:

  "Why can't you leave once you join? What does 'your head and body are in different places' mean?"

  Xiao Mo was slightly surprised, Lao Gao's expression suddenly relaxed, and then he heard him laugh and say:

  "This is also for your safety. Acting alone would be much more dangerous, and once you're being hunted by a pursuer, it's hard to survive."

  "Oh, I see."

  Xiao Mu spoke reluctantly, but in his heart, he had already thought of leaving, this place made him very uneasy.

  Lao Gao's eyes would always dart back and forth when talking to him, his pupils constricting and dilating irregularly, even his facial expressions seemed unnatural. Xiao Mo had studied psychology, although he didn't attend classes for long, but he was still very familiar with the behavior of people when they were lying.

  Lao Gao is obviously telling lies!

  It's just unknown whether everything he said is false or only a part of it is false.

  Xiao Mo suddenly felt that he was quite silly, thinking carefully about his recent days, he had been led by the nose by a mysterious person. The mysterious person told him to go where he went, and told him to do what he did, he was really obedient!

  But how much does he know about that mysterious person?

  He was completely clueless! He was like a simple-minded fool, being played around by that damned mysterious person.

  The mysterious person clearly knew the truth about all the doubts that had been troubling him, but instead of telling him, he lured him here. He even gave a nice name to it, saying that there would be people here who could help him dispel his doubts.

  It's ridiculous that he actually believed it, rushing thousands of miles to this godforsaken place, only to listen to a suspicious-looking person ramble on with lies!

  "My damn head is really messed up!!!!!!"

  Xiao Mo was muttering to himself, secretly scolding his recent flightiness. As for Old Gao, he suddenly stood up and slowly walked over to one side. There was a larger square desk there, and under the desk was a small drawer. Old Gao pulled it out and took out a notebook wrapped in black paper from inside.

  This should be the notebook that Lao Gao mentioned earlier. As Xiao Mo thought, Lao Gao beckoned him over and handed him the notebook.

  Xiao Mo took over the notebook, and subconsciously flipped through it. He found that the paper was very wrinkled, and the handwriting on it was mostly blurred. It seemed that this notebook had been soaked in water before.

  Xiao Mo flipped through a few more pages, and the back sheets were the same. He reassembled his notes, looked up at Old Gao:

  "How did this notebook come into being?"

  "It was brought out from a forbidden place by a predecessor, and when he was found, he was already dead, with only his hand still tightly grasping this notebook."

  Old Gao said with a sigh:

  "At that time, no one should have known the function of the key, so it is likely that the note was obtained by that predecessor from outside. He was the first person we knew to escape from the forbidden land. And you are the first person to escape alive from the forbidden land and open the first door, bringing out a mirror from that door."

  "At present, we are not clear about the purpose of the mirror, but it will undoubtedly be a sharp weapon to resist ghosts, and not just a mirror that can only follow you. So I hope you can participate in tomorrow's action, go to Xu'an City with us, I think you should also be very interested in the role of the mirror."

  By this time, Xiao Mo had understood that Lao Gao wanted to persuade him to go to Xu An City and stop the paranormal event with them. In fact, even if he hadn't thought of leaving, he wouldn't have joined Lao Gao in stopping the paranormal event. That thing was something he couldn't avoid even if he wanted to hide from it, so how could he take the initiative to provoke it? Not to mention that he already wanted to slip away.

  If the old man gave him a very friendly and willing to help feeling, then he might stay and try to escape with them. But now, not to mention those terrifying ghosts, just the old man gives him a strong sense of danger, it's hard to say what really happened in those two years, he won't be the thorn in the eyes of the old man.

  Xiao Mo thought so, but he still agreed very readily:

  "I'll consider it, but you should also know that I've just gone through a curse and am weak in all aspects of my body."

  "Don't worry, we'll give you time to rest. After all, there's still time to verify the effect of the mirror, no need to rush for now..."

  After finishing this conversation, Lao Gao chose a room for Xiao Mo on the third floor and then hurried downstairs again.

  Xiao Mo closed the door of his room, letting out a long sigh as he collapsed onto the sofa. Lao Gao's words were hard to discern as true or false, and he couldn't completely believe them, but neither could he completely disbelieve them. After all, he was indeed plagued by bad luck now, and he had also seen those ghostly objects with his own eyes before.

  His real purpose for coming here is to find a way to get rid of the mirror and return to normal life. However, it seems that his wish has not been fulfilled so far, but instead, he will have to stop supernatural events and actively contact those ghostly things.

  "No, I have to get out of here. Dealing with those ghostly things is a dead end! The mirror may be eerie, but at least it doesn't pose any immediate danger. As long as I'm more careful in the future, nothing should happen. If it wants to follow me, so be it. Once I get used to it, I won't find it weird anymore."

  Xiao Mo wanted to leave more and more, but he didn't dare to make a move, because the old masters would not let him go. They hoped to use the mirror to fight against the ghostly creatures.

  In the end, all of this is his own doing. If he hadn't listened to the mysterious person and come here, if he hadn't mentioned to Old Gao that the mirror seemed to be absorbing ghostly objects, he wouldn't have ended up in such an awkward situation. Now it's turned out like this, wanting to stay but not daring to, wanting to leave but unable to go.

  For the time being, he can only hope that Old Gao and others will go to Xu'an City tomorrow, so he can take advantage of it and slip away. What he fears is that Old Gao won't trust him and will leave someone behind to keep an eye on him.

  "Let things take their natural course."

  Xiao Mo smiled wryly and immediately sat up from the sofa, holding that notebook in his hand, starting to flip through it.

  The notebook only had sixteen pages, the first page recorded the types of ghosts, just like what Old Gao told him before, the ghosts were divided into three categories: vengeful spirits, malevolent spirits and evil spirits, each with their own abilities.

  Ghosts are usually invisible to the naked eye. They excel at making rules, are good at disguising and hiding, and can disguise themselves as anyone.

  Oni can be seen with the naked eye. They have the ability to create illusions, teleport, and even alter memories.

  Oni are usually invisible. They can create small-scale curses that can be placed on anything.

  The above statement is not absolute and there may be exceptions.

  Xiao Mo turned to the second page, and on it was recorded a group of people. The owner of the notes referred to them as "Escapees".

  Escapers are those who have escaped from paranormal events, so their subsequent lives will be different. The ghosts will keep killing them until they die.

  The vengeful spirits that hunt them will not remain the same, they can be ghosts, evil spirits, or even demons, and every three days they will launch a hunt. At that time, those who escape will fall into strange events, and only by finding the right method can they escape.

  If you want to avoid being passively hunted, the escaper can also actively seek out paranormal events and enter them to try to solve the event, which can delay the hunter's footsteps and reduce the probability of death.

  If you want to thoroughly terminate this fate, you need to enter the forbidden area and close the second door that exists within it. The prerequisite is to accumulate enough keys...

  "If this notebook is genuine, it seems Old Gao didn't lie about this matter."

  Up to now, what Lao Gao said to him before was basically the same as what's written in this notebook. If the notebook wasn't fabricated and Lao Gao had deceived him, then that deception could only be about the reason he entered the forbidden area alone.

  Xiao Mo shook his head and continued to flip through, but the following pages were severely damaged, with almost indistinguishable handwriting. Only some short sentences could still be made out. Through these fragmented sentences, Xiao Mo roughly understood that these pages recorded the owner of the notes' analysis and speculation on the origins of these ghostly objects and why they appeared in the world.

  However, the content of the analysis can no longer be read, and only a few inferences can be seen.

  The world is divided into two sides, yin and yang, and ghosts are things that belong to the yin side.

  There is a balance principle in the world, people can't kill ghosts, but rules can.

  Not all ghosts are brutal killers, some ghosts are also friendly.

  At this point, Xiao Mo thought of the residents in the Ghost Building, and they were the best proof of friendliness.

  The words behind became blurred and difficult to distinguish again, it seemed that there should be a few more guesses, but what they were could no longer be discerned. Just as Xiao Mo was about to turn the page, his phone, which had been quiet for a long time, suddenly rang.

  Xiao Mo thought it was a mysterious person's message, but when he looked again, he unexpectedly found that he had received a WeChat message.

  Xiao Mo didn't recall having a WeChat account, but out of curiosity, he opened it and found that he had picked up a message in a bottle on the screen.
