I'm being held captive by a monster

Chapter 119: Huh? A reversal?
"Sister Orange, have you ever suspected that there's something wrong with Taoyuan Meng?"

"This dream itself...don't you think it's weird?"

"Why do everyone have the same dream? Why do only those who have awakened and have darkness within them have this dream?"

"What if this Utopia dream was a hoax from the beginning?"

"What if it's a trap for the awakened?"

Lin Xing'an asked a little excitedly.

"Little brat, we can't discuss this issue."

But Teacher Orange looked at Lin Xing'an, was silent for a moment, and then shook his head and said.

"Because I really can't prove that the Utopia dream we all have is real."

"If we can't prove that the Peach Blossom Dream is real, then we can't prove that there is Peach Blossom Village behind that door."

"And you also haven't been able to provide any evidence to support the view that the Utopia Dream is false."

“So there’s no point in discussing this issue.”

Her words also calmed Lin Xing'an down.

really……

Neither he nor Teacher Orange had any evidence to support their views...

Even if Lin Xing'an knew that everyone would "disappear" in a few hours...

Talking like this is just a waste of time!
Lin Xing'an took a sip of milk tea and sat back down.

"Sister Orange, since the Tao Ghost's ritual at Puguang Mountain is for reproduction, how exactly do they reproduce?"

"What is the 'mother' they're talking about? What do they mean by 'all gluttons come from 'mother'?"

"And that door, how did the gluttonous ghost open it?"

"What's the difference between the door to Puguang Mountain, the door to Villa No. 6, and the door to Taoyuan Village that we opened this morning?"

Lin Xing'an calmed himself down again.

Let’s not worry about the fact that someone “returned to Taoyuan Village” in the morning.

Instead, he asked all the questions about the Taogui ritual at Puguang Mountain!

"Little brat, you've become one of those people with a hundred thousand whys again?"

Teacher Orange smiled.

He was not angry because of Lin Xing'an's excitement just now, and was still very patient.

"I'll get some cookies, An An, would you like another cup?"

Yu Shi stood up and patted Lin Xing'an on the head.

"it is good……"

Lin Xing'an handed the empty cup in his hand to Yu Yu.

"An An, it was just a nightmare. Now everything is over."

"If you want to go back to Taoyuan Village, go with Orange."

"If you want to live here with my aunt, that's fine too. With my aunt's abilities, we can keep a low profile and no one will notice."

"There's still a lot of time to come!"

Yu Shi rubbed Lin Xing'an's face, blinked, hummed a song, stretched, and walked into the kitchen.

"..."

But the more hope and imagination she had for the future, the more heartbroken Lin Xing'an felt at this moment!

He knew clearly that his aunt, Teacher Orange, and almost everyone else would disappear in four hours.

But now I don’t even understand why everyone “disappeared”…

"Little brat, where was I just now?"

Teacher Orange also paused and started from the beginning.

"On the 23rd, the first day the Tao ghosts closed the mountain, almost all the pairs of Tao ghosts gathered at Puguang Mountain."

"Notice I said pairs of gluttons, not all gluttons."

“But of course, there are some single foodies out there,” she added.

Lin Xing'an also nodded.

When he checked out the villa that afternoon, he saw that the gluttons who came to participate in the ceremony were all in pairs, except Yunxia.

"Among these gluttonous ghosts, there is a Mirror Ghost with A-level abilities, and its boyfriend, or husband."

"We had watched it at the train station, so we knew its capabilities."

"It is the leader of the entire ceremony. After all the gluttonous ghosts have gathered, it is she who organizes them to release the common ghost domain."

"The shared ghost domain of dozens of gluttonous ghosts took almost two hours to fully spread out, covering half of Puguang Mountain."

Teacher Juzi’s words gave Lin Xing’an a chill.

He thought about the afternoon he went to the villa to scout the area. He had seen five or six gluttonous ghosts in the same ghost domain. They had almost killed him just by releasing them without doing anything else...

"Although we made contingency plans in advance, the intensity of the ghost domain is still beyond our tolerance."

"So in the end, we decided to withdraw all personnel from the ghost zone and only leave behind some hidden cameras."

Yu Shi came over with a plate of bear biscuits.

Teacher Orange also picked up one, but instead of eating it, she started fiddling with it.

"The camera... I guess it can't capture anything in the ghost zone..."

In order to speed up his recovery, Lin Xing'an ate the biscuits without hesitation.

"Well, the ghost's true form can't be imaged, so we barely captured anything."

"However, not everyone has retreated outside the ghost zone."

"Song Chi has been staying inside."

A rare look of complexity appeared on Teacher Orange's face.

Yu Shi also took over the conversation at the right time, "Song Chi is Ju Zi's younger brother and the current leader of the organization."

"Ah."

Teacher Orange nodded.

"His strength is at C-upper level, and his ability is C-level [Purification]. He can eliminate his negative states at a high frequency, which means he is not affected by the ghost realm."

"So after the ghost realm opened, he stayed alone in it to observe and watched almost the entire ritual of the gluttonous ghost."

Teacher Orange paused.

Lin Xing'an stopped eating and listened attentively with his ears perked up.

"According to his description, at the beginning of the ceremony, the stream and waterfall on Puguang Mountain, as well as the well in Puguang Temple, all turned into blood."

"This wasn't an illusion caused by the ghost realm or anything like that. It truly turned into blood."

"The blood flowed along those strange patterns and merged into the coffin in Puguang Temple."

"Then the coffin slowly rose up and turned into a gate of light."

"Inside that gate of light is Taoyuan Village."

Teacher Juzi’s words made Lin Xing’an frown.

This method of opening the light gate he saw in Villa No. 6 seemed to be no different...

But if behind that light gate is really Taoyuan Village...

Why did that angel come out of Taoyuan Village?
Didn't they say that there were only humans in Taoyuan Village...

"After the light gate lit up, all the Buddha statues in Puguang Temple turned into the kind of statues we see being transported by gluttonous ghosts at the train station."

"Those statues seemed to come alive. I don't know what happened to cause the light gate to reverse."

Teacher Orange turned the bear biscuit in her hand over.

"Huh? Reversed?"

Lin Xing'an was stunned.

"Yes, the 'mother' that the glutton mentioned came out of that reversed door."
