0487 Chapter Ten: The Eternal Holy Fire (Section 29)
As for why it was determined that the original shadow was different from the current one, it was not because Zhen Cheng had never seen a conscious and "ownership state" of the shadow other than being influenced by himself.
But because of the existence of Hanging Temple.
Regardless of how supernatural the Hanging Temple today has become due to the influence of ghosts and dreams, just looking at the original weird architectural form and the expression of the Buddha statue, you can conclude that this place is not normal.
The bus had a problem just when it passed the Xuankong Temple and was trapped here. It obviously cannot be a coincidence.
Next is the problem of the middle school class itself besides the even more ancient and weird Hanging Temple.
Girl A was bullied, so she set up a trap in the wilderness and tortured the entire class?
How is that possible! If she had this ability, would she still need to be bullied?
This was just the direction "someone" wanted her to think.
The photos on the walls of the temple confirm this. No matter what fate she suffered, Girl A's expression was always as vivid as before. She did not become numb, she did not bear the humiliation and bear the burden, and she did not reveal a trace of unwilling resentment.
The classmates at the time, the photographer who had absolutely extraordinary feelings for girl A, and the "someone" behind it might not be able to see this.
But Zhen Cheng is the world's top detective. The subtle expressions frozen in the photos, not to mention the large number, are enough for her to cross-analyze many incredible details.
On the contrary, it was the death of Girl A's family that made Zhen Cheng realize that this graduation trip might indeed be an unusually deliberate conspiracy.
It's not that the girl who was bullied endured the humiliation and fought back, but it was basically a conspiracy against girl A. From the beginning, when the two hooked up.
That’s right. Apart from Zhou Shishi, who is the only one who is still alive today, who else planned all of this?
Then there is Shi Shilaoni, who has boundless power in front of us. He can hide evil intentions and plan to get close to girl A without being noticed; he can command the whole class to bully a classmate at will; he can curse the parents of girl A; he can abduct the entire class.
Come to the mysterious temple in the mountains to sacrifice blood to the clean Zhou Shishi...
What is the picture?
From the very beginning, he approached Girl A with a purpose in mind. Naturally, it could not be about the grudges and hatreds between little girls in an ordinary school.
This question is actually easy to deduce the answer when combined with the current weird situation of the Hanging Temple:
Zhou Shishi is planning to control the power of the shadow.
She got close to Girl A and then betrayed her, and then used her magic power to force her into a desperate situation. She must have taken a fancy to certain qualities in Girl A.
Perhaps Girl A is also a descendant of the Zhen family like her, and has a natural connection with Ziying. This coincidentally explains why Qu Yun is involved.
Or maybe it's not that complicated, it's just that girl A met certain conditions that Zhou Shishi needed to cast the spell at the time. For example... a pure soul?
In short, Zhou Shishi succeeded.
The whole class was able to perform a blood sacrifice, involving some locals who happened to be passing by, the teacher on the bus, and maybe even the candidates for the Lamarck game who were later involved.
They were all wandering in front of the temple gate at this time.
As for how she did it, the answer hangs on the wall.
Gu's photo contains the scene of each student's death. Obviously, if the photographer is not the murderer, he must have stayed with the murderer all the time.
Taking into account the photographer's strong and unbounded affection for Girl A reflected in his works, Zhen Cheng is inclined to think the former.
In other words, to put the whole story in order, Zhou Shishi wanted to control the power of the paradox. Then she chose girl A as a sacrifice, and then used strategies and magic power to push her into a desperate situation step by step.
But Girl A's character seems to be beyond Zhou Shishi's expectations. Even if it reaches this level, she may still be unwilling to hurt others...
Of course, this assumption is not groundless. Zhen Cheng inferred it from what he saw in the main hall of Xuankong Temple.
If the prediction is correct, the owner who gave her the Hand of White Candle Bento is girl A. She refuses to show her face because her soul has been distorted by the shadow for many years. I am afraid that her appearance is quite abnormal and I am afraid of scaring her.
The questions on the white candle and the wooden fish seem to have the same Zen meaning, but they are completely different from Lao Nishishi's stance and tone.
Only a woman who is gentle and kind at heart can come up with such objective and sad poems. On the other hand, Shi Laoni's wit is always based on her own standpoint.
And all the resentful spirits who suffered blood sacrifices were trapped outside the temple by Zhou Shishi's magic circle. The only one who could come in and out freely and left blood poems in front of her was probably the girl A who was deeply integrated with the shadow.
What Qu Yun couldn't do, Zhou Shishi naturally couldn't do. Her "control" over the shadows only resulted in cultivating the one who lurked under the bus. She herself was so scared that she didn't even dare to step out of the Xuankong Temple.
monster.
The Xuankong Temple is a prison, allowing Zhou Shishi to reap the consequences of being trapped there for unknown reasons. But this has nothing to do with the cause and effect of good and evil. It is simply her unprepared attempt to challenge a field that she cannot possibly reach.
This point is quite contradictory to the deliberate efforts in Girl A's class to mobilize the whole class to join in the same deeds.
This kind of deviation has its own mystery.
Besides, Zhen Cheng had wondered how a corpse could be released into the wild when they were climbing. Now it seems that this was clearly caused by the resentful spirit of the tragic death directing its grievances at Zhou Shishi who was hiding in the Xuankong Temple.
She might have been able to control these zombies originally, or she might not even have cared about them at all. But as time passed, those guys gradually went beyond Zhou Shishi's control under the influence of the shadows.
Zhen Cheng's reasoning to this extent is not without roots. The clues are still in Zhou Shishi's own mouth. The sharp edge of the second old man's food dog comes from here.
Zhou Shishi raised a dog to eat, and the dog was the girl A or the students who wanted to die. As the fusion of the shadows increased, she realized that she could not control it at all, so she could only lock herself like a prisoner in the Hanging Temple to avoid
Make threats.
The dog that was raised by himself turned into a hungry wolf, and the owner was helpless.
Qu Yun just talked about the three laws of life, but if the ghost is weird, even if it is impossible to bring the dead back to life, it may not be difficult to let the soul of the dead live forever.
But problems also arise. Even Qu Yun in the life-like world has no illusions about controlling the paradox phenomenon that is not restricted by any basic rules of logical principles.
No matter how you look at it, she, Zhou Shishi, is just a mortal who dabbles in the extraordinary, not even a god. Why can she covet the power of the shadow and achieve something?
Is Zhou Shishi more talented than his mentor Qu Yun?
Based on his understanding of Qu Yun, Zhen Cheng believed that this was impossible to happen. The only way to challenge something that even that white-haired monster couldn't do was to use huge amounts of manpower, massive resources, and unimaginable things.
Time to polish the experiment.
This is obviously not the strength that a little guy who needs to personally take action to set up a game in middle school can possess.
