You mean real ghosts are even more unsolvable than Sadako?" Jiang Jiuguo's eyes flickered.
Number 47's words seemed humorous.
But he also sensed the danger within.
"The Ring"'s Sadako can be called one of the top ten ghost movies globally, not just because of special effects.
Mainly because of the horror and strong sense of despair Sadako presents to the audience.
The tone of horror movies is nothing more than two types.
Simple jump-scares; this method is often the most cliché and won't scare those who love ghosts and horror movies.
But Sadako is different.
It's another tone of horror movie... working hard on the plot and the ghost.
Watching this kind of horror movie often makes one's skin crawl when reminiscing, making them unconsciously afraid to walk at night or go to the Restroom at midnight.
Because.
It presents people with true despair.
Sadako's killing methods are unsolvable.
There is almost no way to break it; the only thing that can be done is to pass on the videotape.
Once the passing is slow.
There is only one end: death, nothing else.
Deepest fear emotions in humans only appear in two situations: facing death, or facing unknown fear.
And Sadako perfectly demonstrates both before humans.
Encountering Sadako means certain death.
Regarding Sadako, there's no way to explore; she is an unknown life form.
But Number 47 told Jiang Jiuguo that compared to real ghosts, Sadako is no longer on the same level, pale in comparison.
Jiang Jiuguo frowned in silence.
He couldn't imagine what kind of ghost would be more horrific and unsolvable than Sadako.
With this suspicion.
He asked: "You mean every real ghost is more powerful than Sadako? Every single one?"
"Yes," Number 47 said without hesitation.
The projection screen was frozen on the image of Sadako crawling out of the TV.
He stared at it for a few seconds.
Then he looked back at Jiang Jiuguo and scanned everyone present.
"I said it once when I was teaching you before, now that Jiang Jiuguo is here, I'll say it again."
"Every real ghost is more terrifying than Sadako, no exceptions, don't leave things to chance."
The words were categorical, serious, and beyond doubt.
Jiang Jiuguo faintly understood why Number 35 said they needed to destroy the Ghost Gate Pass.
According to Number 35... currently there are no ghosts in the world; all ghosts come from the Ghost Gate Pass.
So if the Ghost Gate Pass isn't destroyed, it means ghosts will continuously come out from it.
Imagine.
One Sadako after another, who cannot be killed and can only be passed on via videotape, appearing in the world—what a horrifying sight that would be.
But this horrifying sight is just child's play.
Because real ghosts are even more terrifying than Sadako.
"Then how do we deal with ghosts?" Jiang Jiuguo raised his hand and asked.
He thought of the ghost sequence formula.
The ghost sequence formula can turn people into ghosts.
Ordinary people have no way to face ghosts, so what about people who have turned into ghosts? Use ghosts to deal with ghosts.
Jiang Jiuguo added:
"You guys can turn into ghosts, right? How do you deal with ghosts?"
Number 47 gave a bitter smile upon hearing this.
"Deal with? Your thoughts were the same as mine back then, that taking the ghost sequence formula to transform into a ghost would allow one to contend with ghosts."
"What? You can't contend with them?"
"Of course not," Number 47's tone was categorical again.
"Don't even try to deal with ghosts. The difference between us and ordinary people is that when facing ghosts, we have a few more means to survive and a few more means to look at them for a few more seconds."
"When you encounter a ghost, there are only two things you can do: run or find the Ghost Gate Pass and destroy it. As for dealing with ghosts, don't even think about it."
As he spoke, he looked at Jiang Jiuguo, his eyes flickering as he fell into memory.
"In the past, many people thought like you about whether ghosts could be killed, but even Sadako can't be killed, so how could one kill an even more terrifying ghost."
Jiang Jiuguo's face darkened.
He gradually understood the meaning of Number 35's previous words.
"Then how do we find the Ghost Gate Pass?"
He was like a curious baby now, not giving Number 47 a chance to lecture, throwing out questions one after another.
"What does the Ghost Gate Pass look like? A door? A passage?"
"And once found, how do you destroy the Ghost Gate Pass?"
This time.
Unlike Number 35's response, Number 47 gave an answer.
"The Ghost Gate Pass is not a door; it's just a medium, an Entrance connecting to the world of ghosts."
After saying this, Number 47 took off The Ring on his hand and then took off his clothes.
Then.
He picked up a book, a chair, and a table.
He lined these items up one by one in front of Jiang Jiuguo and the others.
"Any of these things could potentially become a Ghost Gate Pass, regardless of size or material—even a floor tile or a strand of hair could be one."
"So once you encounter a ghost and want to find the Ghost Gate Pass, please carefully observe the place where the ghost appeared."
Number 46's face at this moment was like the pitch-black midnight, a beam of light shining from his chin upwards.
Smiling with a hint of grimness.
"Don't overlook anything in the place where the ghost appeared, including yourself, because a person can also become a medium, because..."
"People are also a type of thing in this world."
Click.
Number 47 took out a lighter, pulled out a cigarette, lit it, and took a puff.
Talking about ghosts, even without facing them, still left him with lingering fear, making it hard to stay calm.
As the curling smoke drifted.
It dispersed the gloom in his heart.
He spoke: "If clothes are the 'Ghost Gate Pass', burn them."
"If a chair is the 'Ghost Gate Pass', smash it."
"If a person is the 'Ghost Gate Pass', then... kill them."
The last sentence echoed in everyone's ears.
It wasn't the first time they heard this, but hearing it again still felt chilling.
Asking themselves.
If the 'Ghost Gate Pass' appeared on someone else, they would probably choose to act.
But.
What if the 'Ghost Gate Pass' appeared on themselves? What would they do? The only thing they could do would be suicide.
Killing certainly requires courage.
Suicide requires even greater courage.
For any person with normal thinking, no one wants to die.
Jiang Jiuguo thought of this too.
However, he didn't think about suicide; his gaze moved to Number 47, and then he raised his hand again.
"The appearance of the Ghost Gate Pass shouldn't be random, right?"
With today's large population, people are everywhere, and almost all land that can be developed has been developed. If the Ghost Gate Pass were random, it should have been exposed long ago.
The result is that it hasn't.
Regarding the knowledge of ghosts, people still remain at the stage of hearsay, never confirmed.
Obviously, the appearance of the Ghost Gate Pass is not random; it won't suddenly appear in public without reason.
"You asked a very good question; here's a little red flowers for you."
Number 47 was also a humorous person.
As he spoke, he took a paper little red flowers from his pocket and handed it to Jiang Jiuguo.
Then he said: "The Ghost Gate Pass is indeed not random."
"I said before that the 'Ghost Gate Pass' is a medium, an Entrance. To trigger the medium, a fuse is naturally needed."
"As for what this fuse is."
He pointed at the projection screen.
The screen was no longer playing "The Ring" but showing a PPT titled "folk legends".
"The fuse is folk legends, specifically some taboos and ghost-sighting methods within folk legends."
As he spoke, the PPT image switched.
It showed a photo of a family eating dinner.
It was a family of five.
There were a grandfather, grandmother, father, mother, and a Little Boy.
They were sitting around a table eating.
The scene should have been harmonious.
But the Little Boy's action of sticking his chopsticks vertically into the rice bowl caused the grandfather's dissatisfied lecturing, breaking the harmony..."}],
