Volume Five, Return, Chapter 46, Parallelism
In front of me, the house stood in a thick darkness. There were no stars, nor the moon.
This house, which was covered with countless cracks and seemed to be shaking, made Yu Shuo sense the whimper and pain of countless dead souls.
During the long years, how many people have been killed in the Ghost Prison Hall? How many souls are unable to close their eyes and wandering inside?
At this time, time finally arrived at the seventh act, which was the beginning of the final act!
The truth is finally revealed from the script of the final scene.
"Ghost Prison Hall." The line is written by Yushuo, who is the heroine Xu Yusu: "Finally, I'm here."
She and Ye Xiang walked out of the tunnel like this. Everything around them was an endless dark area, where Yu Shuo's sensation would be disturbed. Looking carefully, there were three other authentic doors extending out of the darkness.
Needless to ask, those three tunnels all lead to the ghost prison hall in front of you.
This is the truth.
"This is the first time I have seen this haunted house that has tortured our family for so many years." Ye Xiang said this line and said the three words "first time", he had already begun to think quickly about what was going on.
Didn’t it mean that the Ghost Prison Hall was once a place where the elders of the Wei family lived? Didn’t it mean that it was the most important hall of the Five Ghosts Hall? Didn’t the funerals be held here before?
But why...
It was actually the "first time" to see it?
"This day has finally come. I should have known that this day will come. After hearing the sound of the tape, I finally knew why Wei Ming was leaving seven years ago because he had to leave. Otherwise, he would die at the hands of the Ghost Prison Hall."
Ye Xiang was still silent, and there was no line from him at the moment.
"After my mother passed away, I knew what she had been doing before her death. It was originally something I shouldn't have done, but I still did it. It was not because of all the tempting conditions that the Wei family promised me, but just because I fell in love with Wei Ming. If it weren't for him, I would never do such a thing. I would never..."
Ye Xiang said silently.
"Let's go." Although Yu Shuo was still full of doubts, it was not the time to consider these things at this moment.
At the same time, Fang Leng, he, Wen Yufan, and Yue Liqing were on his way to the Ghost Heart Hall.
He hoped that he could go there early and help Li Weisi and Cheng Xuesong. To save Li Weisi, with his bloody palm, Ye Xiang and Yushuo might be saved.
And after the final scene began, it was his turn to speak.
"Yanyu. At this point, some things cannot be hidden from you." Fang Leng sighed and said, "I will tell you all."
Wen Yufan also raised his ears nervously and listened to Fang Leng's words... No, it should be said to be lines.
"After you marry, you should know that the so-called 'Ghost Prison Hall' is actually a space sealed in another space parallel to this world. Because you grew up in Baihe Town, you probably didn't have the chance to hear the so-called parallel world. However, parallel worlds do exist, a world that overlaps with our world, and cannot interfere with each other due to different dimensions. That is the parallel world."
"The Ghost Prison Hall is located in a parallel world that we cannot reach. Everything comes from the madness of the ancestors of the Wei family. There was a Feng Shui master from the ancestors of the Wei family. He had long been hoping to combine Feng Shui and metaphysics to try to find a parallel world. He traveled through countless rivers and finally found what he was looking for on this mountain in Baihe Town. He found that combining Feng Shui here can create a channel to a different space."
"He built four houses after countless years of planning, and he named them Ghost Head, Ghost Eye, Ghost Heart and Ghost Gate Pavilion. Through the construction of these Four Ghost Halls, he finally found that a certain location of this house would be connected to another world. Because it is a parallel world, there is also the Four Ghost Hall in that world, but the area is larger and it is full of weirdness. The center of these Four Ghost Halls has a brand new museum in the same location as this world."
"A brand new museum..." Wen Yufan naturally understood completely: "That's the ghost prison museum?"
"Yes. That was named by the ancestors of the Wei family. The Four Ghosts Hall connected a parallel world. The ancestors did this in the end just to achieve his most peak Feng Shui achievement, but the Wei family was subjected to an inescapable curse because of the existence of the Five Ghosts Hall. There is an unknown existence that he cannot understand, which we call it "that thing". Since then, the children of the Wei family must be born in the Four Ghosts Hall and will be cursed by the haunted house in another world named the Ghosts Hall by him. Even if they leave here for a while, the curse will sooner or later call you back. Later, the ancestors discovered that the mirror is the biggest weakness of this curse. Once there is a mirror, the 'that thing' will be lost to the way to this world. Therefore, he cut off the connection between the Four Ghosts Hall and the ghosts hall in the depths of the darkness by setting up a large number of mirrors."
"But even so, the mysterious haunted house in the other world of the Ghost Prison Hall is still closely related to this parallel world because of the Wei family's bloodline. Not only that, those who live in the Four Ghosts Hall will also be subjected to the same curse accordingly. You, Lily, and you, are not spared. The ancestors began to feel fear. The 'that thing' in the Ghost Prison Hall has always maintained this curse. Even if it is sealed with a mirror, it cannot stop the reality that the Wei family's bloodline is controlled by this fateful curse."
"There is only one way to solve this problem. Finally, the ancestor found a psychic medium and started to communicate with the 'that thing' hidden in the parallel world through that psychic medium. Just like the process of inviting the pen fairy, the psychic medium wrote the answer on paper through the spirit submission ceremony. And the final answer was only one, that is, to send the living person into the sealed passage to the parallel world. To put it bluntly, by feeding the 'that thing', the Wei family will not die because of the curse. Those people are equivalent to dying instead of the Wei family. In the end, the ancestor agreed and passed on the method from generation to the present."
"At that time, the ancestors hired workers to secretly kidnap a group of people on this mountain, and even in Baihe Town, and then regularly sent those living people to the Four Ghost Halls, and at the entrance of the passage sealed behind the mirrors. The media is responsible for performing spiritual surrender rituals in the overlapping location of the "Ghost Jail Hall" in this world, that is, behind the woods, to temporarily open the passage a small part, and then those living people will be sent in. Every year, the Wei family will supply food by a fixed non-staple food supply club. In fact, this is not the case. Many of the sacks are not food at all, but living people who are anesthetized by us. In recent years, we have stopped catching people in Baihe Town, but expanded to some nearby remote counties and towns, and selected poor people who have not many relatives and leave their hometowns. Due to the imperfect management of household registration in these places and the density of migrant population is too high, many people have disappeared and have not attracted much attention."
"Yu Su, because she likes Wei Ming, she is so young, and does not hesitate to do cruel things to assist us in the plan. She is the biggest pillar of the Wei family's survival, so no one complains about how his father pampers her, because everyone knows that if there is no psychic, all of us will die. We are cursed, even if we escape from the Sigui Hall, Baihe Town, and to the ends of the earth, it will be useless. Sooner or later... "
“Everyone will return.”
"You are all crazy!" Wen Yufan hugged Wei Lili and pointed at Fang Leng, "You mean, the place where I live is actually a tomb that ruined countless lives?"
"Yes." Fang Leng's face showed a painful expression: "This is the only choice for our Wei family to survive. Only by constantly sending living people in can we survive. Although the elders are only responsible for this matter, we have always noticed something is wrong, but we have not studied it in depth. However, when the elders leave one by one and when we take charge of the Wei family, we are the ones responsible for this matter. Therefore, my father always asked the funeral to be held in the "Ghost Prison Hall", which is actually in a place where the Ghost Prison Hall overlaps with this world. He believes that dying there should be the fate of the Wei family with the sins."
"Actually, when I was thirteen, I shouldn't have been told all this. Only those who inherited the head of the Wei family in the future would be told about this. However, when I was thirteen, an accident happened. At that time, I had never understood why my father always called the open space behind the woods the "Ghost Prison Hall", and he always set up a tent there for a long time. Yusu, she often went to the open space called the "Ghost Prison Hall" to perform the spirit-storming ceremony. However, when I was thirteen, I knew everything."
"That night, I saw servants piled up more than a dozen sacks in a corridor of Guitou Pavilion. There were also a lot of mirrors. And I knew that at this time, Yusu was also performing a spirit-storming ceremony on the open space. At this time, everyone was about to leave, but out of curiosity, I hid in a wardrobe. And just after all the servants left, out of curiosity, I ran out of curiosity to untie one of the sacks. Then... I saw that there was a coma in it! Then,
