Chapter 4 Analysis

After looking around the room, the extremely cold feeling seemed to be really far away, but He Xiaoman was still trembling all over. He didn't know whether he was frightened by the thought of tonight's experience or simply because of the freezing weather.

After closing the door, He Xiaoman returned to bed. No matter how worried she was about what happened, she didn't dare to sleep anymore. She charged her phone and prepared to play games all night long to pass the time. She didn't want to wake up again and her eyes would be completely dark.

Then that dead ghost came to her again and told her about the hardships of the world and the grievances of living.

It's difficult and grievances, so why the hell are you trying to persuade me to die in your place?

On a dark and silent winter night in a mountain village, this three-story building reflected a solitary light, but soon it was no longer swallowed up by the night.





He Xiaoman was startled awake again by the cold wind blowing on his face.

That cold and terrifying feeling came again, making He Xiaoman feel like she was going crazy. She picked up the kitchen knife and prepared to jump up and chop wildly. If she could chop you away once, she could chop you away twice.

She died before she could get out of the way, and before she could show off her power while carrying a plate of vegetables, she stumbled and almost cut herself.

Only then did He Xiaoman realize that it was already broad daylight, and she was actually lying in the yard. The culprit who tripped her up was the set of luggage she had packed last night.

The early winter sun shone on her icy face like a simulation prop without any heating effect. It turned out that it was really just the north wind that blew on her face this time.

But last night she was clearly awake in the room playing single-player games. When did she fall asleep?

Was he planning to freeze her to death after seeing that he failed to hang himself?

There is a saying in the countryside that all ghosts who die violently must find someone to let them end their lives in the same way as themselves, so that this person can continue to reincarnate, which is commonly known as catching a substitute.

He Xiaoman felt that she must have been regarded as a candidate to catch a substitute last night. When the other party saw that the plan failed, he tried another plan. As a result, He Xiaoman was blessed with great fortune and was blessed by the ancestral kitchen knife and survived!

However, the little bit of happiness in her heart was soon covered up by anger. I, He Xiaoman, am kind to others, and I think I have no grudges with the old man (the hanged man) in this house in the past. My failure to catch a substitute shows that I, He Xiaoman, am destined to die.

You shouldn't give up, why aren't you done yet?

According to my many years of experience in favoring thriller movies and strange novels, evil has always prevailed over good. Although the sun seems to be of no use in heating at the moment, its effect in exorcising ghosts should still be there.

He Xiaoman, who has the same habits as the Northeastern mythical beast Silly Roe Deer, insisted on going back to see the scene of the crime where she almost succeeded in hanging herself from the beam. The following facts proved that her decision was really...

It's a bit unpredictable.

The room was still empty and cold, not much different from last night, but He Xiaoman found a small house-shaped sign near the stool that almost became a stepping stone to his death.

The house-shaped sign is made of the most common Qinghai jade, with a light greenish-gray color and slight impurities. It can be sold for thirty or fifty yuan on a small stall. The carving is not outstanding either, it is simple.

The technique is straightforward, the knife work is a bit rough, and the roof of the house has fish-scale tiles, and it looks like an ordinary small house.

But He Xiaoman knew that this thing was not normal.

Because after she picked it up and touched it with her hand, a line of blue-light subtitles actually appeared in front of her eyes:

Architecture: simple dwellings

Level: Junior

Address: No. 55 Third Street, District E

It is detected that the temporary holder owns a property that can be projected. Should it cost 10,000 popularity points or ten years of life to transfer the property title?

There is another option under the whether option: popularity or longevity

He Xiaoman had a black question mark on his face.

What kind of baby is this? Isn’t it too unscientific?

He Xiaoman has always believed that all unscientific things can be explained by science in the end, and anything that cannot be explained by science can only be because the science we know is not scientific enough.

But from yesterday's trick on the wall to catching a substitute in the middle of the night, to later being thrown out while sleeping while he was clearly awake playing games, everything was weird. This was really unscientific.

Is this a vicious plan hatched by the old man? As long as he chooses to transfer the ownership with ten years of life, he will immediately die on the spot and be his substitute?

But the brand created by this old man is too... uh, scientific, right? It almost feels like the protagonist in a fantasy novel, Goldfinger, gets his account...

He Xiaoman was stunned, could this actually be her golden finger?

Perhaps because there was no response for a long time, the subtitles flashed in front of me: In view of the fact that the original owner failed the mission and died in the mission plane, the temporary holder is requested to make a choice within ten minutes after receiving the house deed. If the time is exceeded, the house will be forfeited.

The administration has recycled it and the countdown is now starting.

He Xiaoman looked at the timer with the word 9′59″ floating in front of his eyes and started counting down, and his heart suddenly felt like shit.

Just like when he was tricked into hanging himself yesterday, He Xiaoman reminded himself not to panic. The opportunities and inexplicable dangers in front of him were twin brothers. If he chose the right person, he would go to her house to eat and drink, and if he chose the wrong person, he would go to her house to eat and drink.

If you poke this finger, life and death are between.

The great singer Rene Liu has already warned everyone as expected: Some people will not be there once you poke them...

He Xiaoman started to replay yesterday's events from the beginning as if he were watching a movie.

I arrived at Zhongtai County by train in the middle of the night and took a carpool to Wayao Town. I went to town with my family members who had already gathered to transfer the house directly to my name. I had a very uncomfortable lunch at noon and was allowed to go to the hospital in the afternoon.

Visit grandma.

Well, she was sure that everything was normal until she came out of the hospital. It was completely developing in the direction that she had guessed when she came out of the company but was completely against her own wishes.

He Xiaoman guessed that my mother would definitely agree to take care of her grandma, because everyone else was busy with more important things. Only my mother, the "concubine", not only had no shelter, but also happened to be divorced and did not need to take care of her husband and children. Xiaoman himself

She can take care of herself, but she can't get married yet. The third sister is as idle as the five-spine and six-six beasts on the roof of the Zhenshan Temple." These were the exact words of her fourth aunt.

This sentence was not very offensive but extremely insulting. Although my mother was trembling with anger, everyone had to admit that what they said made sense.

Although He Xiaoman was not very happy, he had to face reality.

Then the fourth aunt, who had successfully gotten rid of the burden of grandma, went home to pack her things and prepare to return to the county town. He Xiaoman accompanied his mother to the hospital to take over all the matters of taking care of grandma.

Everything unusual started when He Xiaoman got lost.
