An Unusual Life Beginning with Evil Spirits-Chapter 153 : Clue

Volume 4: High School Arc - “I” Come to Find You~
Seeing this scene, I didn’t feel much emotion.
The Evil Spirit Form had almost no emotional fluctuation other than hunger, but… I was a little curious now.
This situation on the ground was undoubtedly the same as what I recorded in the DV camera—almost identical to the scene described in the footage.
Lili’s corpse still lay on the bed.
The quilt had been partially pulled back.
Along the edge of the mattress, droplets of blood—its original color hidden by the darkness—slowly congealed and dripped onto the floor.
Bai Yao’s corpse, swaying without wind, gently rocked.
Blood flowed down from her abdomen, along her legs… and finally condensed at the tips of her toes before falling to the ground.
Judging by this rate, and the blood on the floor, it looked like the body had just been hung up only two or three minutes ago.
I turned to glance at the bed.
In the final scene recorded by the DV camera, ‘I’ had described it in great detail.
At that moment, she clearly saw the already-dead Lili’s head open her eyes, open her mouth, and utter those five words.
The head continued to stretch forward, reaching in front of Lili.
Looking closely at her peaceful expression, there was no sign of pain on her face. It felt just like someone quietly sleeping.
But this wasn’t normal.
Lili’s body was terribly mutilated.
The connection between her neck and head had been torn and bitten.
The flesh on her neck had turned into something like jagged edges.
With such pain, no matter if Lili had been asleep or not, she would’ve woken up from the agony instantly—then died.
However, ‘I’ in the DV footage had described it clearly.
Before Bai Yao got up, Lili showed no movement at all.
Her head had still been resting on the pillow.
I’d experienced something similar before.
In the hospital.
In other words, Lili… was likely devoured in the Interdimensional Space.
Then her corpse returned to the Surface World, resulting in this kind of death that appeared to show no resistance.
But her expression didn’t seem right. It didn’t look like she had gone through anything terrifying.
That part became contradictory.
It was hard to say anything conclusive at the moment.
Feeling somewhat helpless, I realized there weren’t any meaningful clues left at the scene.
With that in mind, I subconsciously used the Evil Spirit Form’s finger to lightly touch Lili’s head.
Suddenly!!
Lili’s head twitched.
Immediately after, the head—with dried blood—snapped open its eyes!!
At that moment, I was less than twenty centimeters away from Lili’s head, and I clearly saw… the reflection that flashed in her eyes.
It was… the twisted, elongated reflection of the Evil Spirit Form.
Those who are about to die can see the figure of a Monster.
She opened her mouth, her eyes full of terror, pupils widened.
However… she had no breath at all.
She stared wide-eyed, mouth gaping open, and on her hideous face, even veins bulged—then… her expression froze in that state and ceased to move.
What was strangest was that it looked like she said something.
Her lips moved slightly in a state of terror.
But… the movement was so faint, it was impossible to tell what she had actually said.
This bizarre state made even me feel a bit confused.
I subconsciously reached out again and touched Lili’s head.
But… without a doubt, there was nothing inside.
It wasn’t that her brain was missing.
Rather… the Soul Form was gone.
But if the Soul Form was gone, how did her head make such an expression?
I turned back and re-examined Bai Yao’s corpse.
After careful observation, I discovered another strange point.
The position of Bai Yao’s body in death was rather unnatural.
It didn’t seem like she walked from the bed to the floor and then hung herself from the ceiling lamp.
Instead, it was more like something directly lifted her from the bed and hung her up there.
She had very likely died while still on the bed.
What did she see before she died?
Even after death, that horrified and distorted expression on her face hadn’t faded at all.
I turned around, lifted the quilt, and looked at the corpse on the bed.
Lili’s body lay there, showing no sign of abnormality.
Only… her whole body looked like it had been gnawed by a wild beast—mangled and incomplete.
Her internal organs were completely gone.
Blood had long soaked through the bedsheets and mattress.
It looked like Lili died before Bai Yao.
This made me frown deeply.
After checking once more and confirming there was nothing strange, I finally withdrew the Evil Spirit Form.
When I slowly opened my eyes while leaning against the wall, what appeared before me was complete darkness.
With a snap of my fingers, the sensor light turned on in response, and then I turned around and walked downstairs.
In the state of the Evil Spirit Form, I didn’t feel any fear.
But after returning to my body, I realized that goosebumps had risen all over me.
There was nothing I could do—fear was an instinct.
Even if the soul didn’t possess the emotion of fear, the body would still react to it.
I took a deep breath.
Only after feeling slightly more composed did I turn and go downstairs.
As I descended the stairs, I began to organize everything that had happened over the past two days.
First, what I could confirm was that I wasn’t watching someone else’s memories.
I had actually experienced it myself.
It was even very likely that it happened through some form of time distortion.
Regardless of the reason, the result was that I had personally undergone both of their terrifying encounters.
From that, one strange point emerged.
Why… was I made to experience these two people’s death experiences?
This unknown situation could only possibly lead to one thing… “find them.”
The APP wouldn’t create a game that led to complete despair.
Otherwise, it couldn’t be called a game.
So, how to find?
What to find?
On that point, the APP gave no clues.
Was it intentional that the APP didn’t give any hints?
From the current situation, there was only one deduction I could make.
Yes, the APP deliberately gave no hints, because all the clues… would be personally experienced during the course of the game.
However, the APP only gave players less than a few minutes to record all the clues, and then required them to summarize everything and find them within seven days.
Zhang Yang and Bai Yao were not game players.
They were very likely randomly chosen passerby players.
The only thing that could be confirmed now was that the phrase “find them” should refer to the owner of the voice on the phone.
Then… where were the clues?
From the DV footage, it could be seen that before the memory was completely erased, the ‘me’ in the footage was certain of one thing—that Bai Yao, like me, had likely also experienced Zhang Yang’s memory.
That meant, at the current stage, I still had five days remaining until my death date.
In the five days ahead, including myself, there would be five people.
No… there were no deaths on the first day, because the first day was the announcement.
That meant, including myself, there would be six victims in total.
