MTL - My Future Diary Can’t Be Perfect-Chapter 30 There is never more than one truth!
In order to break the game, Xun Xi first took a fancy to Qi Dongqiang.
Because in the second diary, "he" investigated Hehua Village for seven days, but he was haunted every day, and he was unable to investigate Qi's ancestral home.
So this time he plans to take precautions before it happens.
Summarize the lessons of the journal.
In the diary, it was obvious that Hua Jing complained that he directly revealed his official identity and then directly questioned him, which caused Qi Dongqiang's overreaction.
Therefore, Xun Xi intervened as Qi Dongqiang's "half-brother" at the very beginning. Not because he had nothing to do, but in order not to over-stimulate Qi Dongqiang and buy time for him to sneak into the ancestral house. In the end, the development of the matter was not much different from what Xun Xi expected.
Solve 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 also planned to torture the details of this ceremony from Qi Dongqiang's mouth.
However, Qi Dongqiang asked three questions and didn't know.
"My father's ceremony? Isn't my father dead?"
"How did you die? I killed it."
"How did you kill it? Poison."
As a result, Xun Xi had to admit that Qi Dongqiang was a fool and didn't know anything, so it was no wonder that he was about to be deformed when he arrived.
However, Xun Xi did not expect that he would gain nothing on his side, but Hua Jingzheng had an unexpected gain on the other side.
When Xun Xi brought Qi Dongqiang to the door of the village and joined Hua Jingzheng and Wuyan, Qi Dongqiang, who had been shouting non-stop, was instantly stunned when he saw the old man standing beside Hua Jingzheng. It wasn't until the old man looked at him that Qi Dongqiang lowered his head and said timidly:
"grandfather...."
"Stinky boy!" Before Qi Dongqiang could finish his words, the old man came over and raised his hand to give Qi Dongqiang a slap, and said sternly, "Don't study the good ones as much as the bad ones!"
Qi Dongqiang suddenly fainted.
"He...is your grandfather?" Xun Xi was a little surprised.
This Qi Hehua is really not a thing. In the diary, he slaughtered the lotus village. So the son was killed, and the father didn't let it go?
Black-hearted capitalist.
Truly 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 that I lived for more than two hundred years. I originally wanted to remind you that there are ghosts in this village. , hurry up and get out. But now it seems that I am superfluous."
"How could it be! You are so helpful!"
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.
In the next second, Qi Dongqiang made the most correct choice: "That's not right! Thanks to Brother Xun just now, otherwise I don't know what it would be like!"
Qi Dongqiang's words are indeed sincere.
After all, he still feels nauseated when he thinks of the fleshy flower on his head now.
What three flowers gather on the top, what five Qi Chaoyuan, what cultivation mana, all are deceitful!
"....I made a decision!"
Thinking of this, Qi Dongqiang's filial piety suddenly deteriorated, and he said fiercely: "If I can make such a ghost, my father might not die."
"I'll give you Dad's Book of Heaven."
"You help me kill him!"
Hua Jingqi and Wu Mian looked at each other in dismay, and finally Hua Jingqi said, "But Qi Hehua's body is there for all to see. Could it be a fake?"
"It's not fake."
At this moment, the old man Qi Delong suddenly said: "The coffin is indeed the corpse of my unfilial son, but... it's just a corpse."
"What's the meaning?"
"Return to Soul Night."
Xun Xi spoke suddenly. When Qi Delong heard this, he glanced at him in surprise, then nodded and said: "Yes.... Back to the soul night. In fact, the consciousness of my unfilial son has left the body and is wandering in the Lotus Village, passing through the gate of hell, until It will come back on the first seven days."
The first seven nights of the soul.
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 concealing, and said frankly:
"It was a ceremony called Soul Resurrection Night."
"Where did the unfilial son get it from, I don't know. I only know that it came from the same person as the book in his hand."
"The content of the ceremony is very simple."
"He must first die at the hands of his loved ones, then in the place where the bloodline originates, then lie in a special coffin specially designed for those who are dead and not dead, and finally live a full seven days. This can be done on the seventh day. Consciousness returns, crosses the gate of hell, and achieves a higher realm from now on."
"Boundary?" Hua Jingqi frowned.
"God knows." Qi Delong shook his head: "That's what he said anyway. And I, Dong Qiang, and the villagers were the sacrifices he chose."
"By the way, his body is immortal in the coffin and cannot be destroyed at all."
"but...."
Having said this, Zidlong paused for a while, and then continued: "Forget it, anyway, the unfilial son is now ignorant, and he can't hear it."
"...let's be honest, it's just one of the rituals."
"one!?"
"Yes." Chidron nodded and said, "There are two ceremonies in this place. The second one should be the reason why you came here."
After listening to Hua Jing's complaint, it became clear: "It's a murder game by the Relief Society..."
According to the introduction of the invitation letter, 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 ceremony." Qi Delong explained: "The person who handed this ceremony to me told me about the loopholes of the unfilial son's soul-returning night ceremony. As long as I can use it, I can completely make him fall short and die in In this Lotus Village, all the villagers are given death as apology."
"That's why I asked you to wait seven days before."
"Wait, are you the murderer?"
Hua Jing complained and fell into contemplation: "We are detectives... Then according to the rules of the ceremony, we have solved the case? But the ceremony is not over..."
Before he finished speaking, Xun Xi's voice suddenly sounded: "Ah Lie Lie? I'm leaving~?"
Hua Jing complained: "..."
Faceless: "..."
"If you have something to say, you can say it directly, don't do that." Hua Jing complained helplessly and covered her face.
Xun Xi was not at all embarrassed, and continued as usual: "Grandpa, you are not necessarily the murderer of the ceremony, you may also be the victim."
"...What?" Qi Delong frowned.
And Xun Xi chuckled lightly: "I have gradually understood everything."
"It's a double ritual. Not only are there two rituals, but there are two truths."
"Two truths?"
"That's right." Xun Xi looked at the surprised faceless, then stretched out a forefinger, the smile on his face was wicked and charming: "The truth, there will never be more than one!"
"Speak human words." Wu Mian responded indifferently.
"Oh." Xun Xi's words changed:
"Simply put, if grandpa's plan is really successful, then he is the murderer, and Qi Hehua becomes the victim, from fake death to real death. If grandpa's plan fails, then no matter whether Qi Hehua's soul-returning night ceremony fails or succeeds, grandpa You will become the victim, and Qi Hehua will become the murderer."
It's like the two future diaries he saw~www.novelbuddy.com~ In other words. "
"The murderer and the deceased, like Schrödinger's cat, are always in a state of superposition. Until the last minute, the truth is always uncertain."
"That's why a third party was introduced."
"That's the detective."
"We are the third force in this ceremony, and it is the weight that determines the balance. If we help Qi Hehua, Grandpa will fail. If we help Grandpa, Qi Hehua will also be difficult to succeed. Just like the definition of a detective, we decide who The murderer, whoever is the murderer."
Having said that, Xun Xi's eyes flashed slightly:
"Bring equal relief to all things in the world." He said the preface to the invitation letter from the relief society: "...This ceremony perfectly implements this."
"Qi Hehua became stronger with the help of the ceremony."
"The villagers use rituals to get their revenge."
"Both parties are likely to achieve their wishes and get the 'relief' that belongs to them. The probability here is 50-50, and there will be no bias."
Having said that, Xun Xi closed his mouth.
One thing he didn't say.
The Relief Society is, after all, a heretical organization that worships the **** of murder. Therefore, the so-called relief is still essentially a tribute to the **** of murder. So, as beings who can determine the final result of the ritual, he who plays the detective....they, are they also standing in the position of the **** of murder?
After all, why did the Relief Society send an invitation letter to Jingwei Si, inviting them to come to Hehua Village to participate in this double ceremony?
Have nothing to do, provoke the official?
Not too possible.
Thinking of this, and thinking of the messy memories of "his" in the diary, Xun Xi couldn't help but feel a little scalp numb: This relief will....isn't it for himself?
