My daughter has been possessed.

Chapter 8 Event Completed

The time traveler who possessed his daughter told Li Jiuhe that he should gradually master his abilities during the missions he was carrying out.

Now it seems he understands how to use this task definition capability.

Before the mission was reset, he roughly knew that Jiang Kun and his girlfriend Chen Yin were plotting to stage an accident to kill Yao Yujie. He also realized that as long as they showed fear, Yao Yujie would appear and slowly become terrifying.

For example, when he entered the living room last time, he didn't see anything, but when Jiang Kui thought that the ghost outside was Yao Yujie, he immediately noticed a shadow appearing in the darkness.

The same applies after this mission reset.

To prove his theory, Li Jiuhe even searched the entire house beforehand to confirm that Yao Yujie's ghost was not there.

But he had just deliberately mentioned that he had seen Yao Yujie outside, which frightened the two people in the room, and they immediately knocked on the bedroom door.

This shows that Yao Yujie will appear whenever they are afraid.

But if this fear temporarily disappears or subsides slightly, Yao Yujie will also disappear.

Li Jiuhe didn't understand what caused this situation, only feeling that Yao Yujie's appearance was like a product of pure consciousness.

It appears with the emergence of fear consciousness, and disappears with the disappearance of that consciousness.

However, Li Jiuhe's experience before resetting the mission taught him that this product of pure consciousness could kill people, and in a very terrifying way!

If he hadn't known beforehand that there were no ghosts in this world, he wouldn't have thought of this.

"This is a mysterious, pure consciousness that may generate what the target fears most by understanding their innermost fears. As for why it would do this, that remains unknown."

This is the result that Li Jiuhe has currently speculated and summarized.

Jiang Kun and Chen Yin had no idea what he was thinking. They picked up their phones to check and found that, as expected, the signal that had been full bars just moments before had been replaced by an "X" symbol.

"There's really no signal! What... what's going on?" Jiang Kun held his phone in both hands, looking at Li Jiuhe in astonishment.

Li Jiuhe wouldn't tell them the truth, but he knew he could make good use of it.

"Good deeds are rewarded and evil deeds are punished. People who do bad things should be punished. Even children understand this principle, so I don't need to say more."

Li Jiuhe looked at the two people in front of him: "So, what do you think your retribution will be?"

Bang! Crack!

The bedroom door was smashed open at that moment, revealing a large gap through which Yao Yujie's bloodied figure could be seen standing outside.

Jiang Kun and Chen Yin were so frightened by this scene that their bodies went limp and they almost knelt on the ground.

"Master, sir, I don't want to die... Please... save me!"

Jiang Kun's voice trembled as he quickly knelt in front of Li Jiuhe, grabbing his feet and pleading.

In his view, Li Jiuhe's arrival here was indeed not without reason. The other party clearly knew why Yao Yujie had appeared, and his words also revealed that he knew many of their secrets.

Although Jiang Kun and his companion hadn't admitted to doing anything earlier, they could no longer hide it.

Although Chen Yin was still somewhat hesitant and did not show Jiang Kun's demeanor, she was so frightened by the terrifying scene at the door that she shrank into the corner.

Li Jiuhe didn't look at the doorway, but instead asked Jiang Kun, "Tell me, how can you reduce your guilt, unease, and fear when facing Yao Yujie?"

Jiang Kun was in a state of utter confusion, unable to think clearly, and could only shake his head repeatedly: "I don't know, I don't know! Please, someone knowledgeable... enlighten me, please enlighten me!"

With a whoosh, Yao Yujie ripped the middle of the door panel off with her bare hands, revealing a large hole.

She stuck her shattered head into the bedroom, blood dripping down, as she struggled to get it inside.

Jiang Kun was terrified and clung tightly to Li Jiuhe's trouser leg.

Li Jiuhe pointed to the phone in his hand and reminded him, "Call the police station immediately and turn yourself in."

Jiang Kun was taken aback: "But my...phone...has no signal..."

Li Jiuhe ignored his question and instead asked, "Wouldn't you feel better if you called and turned yourself in?"

Jiang Kun looked somewhat confused, but still nodded.

"Will your fear of Yao Yujie turning into a ghost and coming to find you lessen? Because you're about to receive the punishment you deserve," Li Jiuhe continued to ask.

Jiang Kun nodded again, this time his reaction was noticeably faster than before.

"Let's check if the phone has a signal again," Li Jiuhe reminded him.

Jiang Kun immediately looked down and was overjoyed: "I've got it! I have a signal! I'll call the police and turn myself in right away..."

He quickly dialed the number, and the moment the call connected, he immediately blurted out, "I want to turn myself in! I want to turn myself in! My name is Jiang Kun, and I killed my wife, Yao Yujie..."

Li Jiuhe looked up at the door and found that the bedroom door was almost completely broken, with a wooden plank hanging in the middle of the doorway, swaying back and forth.

However, Yao Yujie, who was just crawling into the house, has disappeared.

The moment Jiang Kun made the phone call to turn himself in, his fear was released, he was willing to accept legal punishment, and his fear of Yao Yujie quickly lessened.

Seeing that Jiang Kun had already called to turn himself in, Chen Yin, who was huddled in the corner, collapsed, her face pale, like a dead person.

She knew it was all over.

"Yes, I'm at home now, and my accomplice Chen Yin is here too. Okay... okay, we'll wait, we're not going anywhere..."

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Kun, his face ashen, turned to look at the door and realized that Yao Yujie had disappeared.

The expert in front of him was right after all. As long as he called the police, his fear instantly decreased significantly, and the danger he had just felt disappeared.

Li Jiuhe pressed his shoulder and said softly, "Now think carefully and tell me, when did Yao Yujie first appear?"

Jiang Kun snapped out of his daze, glanced at the doorway again, and then replied, "It was three weeks ago, after her funeral and the handling of her estate."

"How did it appear?" Li Jiuhe asked again.

Jiang Kun glanced back at Chen Yin in the corner: "That day, I brought Chen Yin home for the first time..."

"Did you feel guilty at the time, or more accurately, were you a little scared?"

How did you know?

"And then Yao Yujie appeared?" Li Jiuhe didn't answer, but asked in return.

Jiang Kun nodded: "I'm not sure if it was her either. Chen Yin and I were in the bedroom when we heard her walking in high heels outside, and we also heard her clothes that she hadn't had time to deal with scattered all over the living room floor."

"Before Yao Yujie first appeared, did you encounter any special people or events?"

Jiang Kun thought about it carefully, then shook his head: "It seems not."

How many more times did Yao Yujie appear after that?

Jiang Kun counted on his fingers as he recalled, "There were probably seven or eight times, but none of them were as terrifying as today."

"It's a vicious cycle; the fear only increases daily," Li Jiuhe nodded.

He then stood up and glanced at the two men: "Remember, if your evil deeds are not punished, Yao Yujie will reappear."

"We understand, we understand!" Jiang Kun nodded quickly. "We're not going anywhere, we'll just wait here for the police to arrive."

Li Jiuhe quickly left the fifth floor.

At this moment, the task text appeared before my eyes.

The "Yao Yujie Ghost Incident" has been completed. The current reset point cap has been increased to 6 points, and 1 reset time anchor point has been awarded as a reward.

[Reset Time Anchor: This anchor point is dropped during the task's progress. The next time the task is reset, you can choose to start directly from this anchor point.]

[You have uncovered some clues behind this unusual event: 1. Yao Yujie is not a ghost, but a product of pure consciousness; 2. There seems to be another secret behind her appearance.]

After carefully considering the text message, Li Jiuhe returned home, only to find that his house was completely empty!

Li Yi is gone!

Li Jiuhe's heart immediately started pounding. He wasn't worried about the transmigrator's safety, but since the guy was using his daughter's body, he was worried that his daughter's body might be damaged.

Without thinking much, I changed my shoes and went outside.

He just came downstairs, so I guess Li Yi probably won't come upstairs.

After waiting outside the door for a moment, Li Jiuhe went straight downstairs.

Not far from the apartment building, a police car drove into the community and parked directly in front of the building.

Two police officers got out of the car and entered the apartment building; they were clearly heading towards Jiang Kun and Chen Yin.
