One of humanity's greatest flaws was always relying on what the eyes could see.
Few realized that human eyes could be extremely deceptive.
Especially in Supernatural Incidents, ghosts often exploited this flaw to set traps.
Take the Hanging Ghost in the first stage, for example. It used sensory stimuli such as bloating, water stains, and dampness to mislead the employees.
In the end, it appeared with a ghostly face swollen from soaking in water, practically confirming its supposed "drowned ghost" attribute.
But if it had truly drowned, why had the hands that gripped Ji Li's throat been a pair rather than a single hand?
A palm bloated from prolonged soaking could cover more than half a face by itself, enough to suffocate someone. Yet it had used both hands, launching a probing attack in a far more awkward manner.
At the moment it withdrew after probing, Ji Li had distinctly felt something extremely rough scrape across his face.
That rough object had been very close to the ghost's hands. Combined with its use of both hands, there was only one explanation—it was a rope binding its hands together.
Only that explanation could account for why it had not used a single hand, but both, because it could not.
A ghost with its hands bound could also have drowned, but afterward, it had revealed only its face on the screen.
That meant it did not dare reveal its full appearance, or it would expose crucial information. This further reinforced Ji Li's conclusion.
Of course, the most important clue had come from Cheng Ming's initial misjudgment.
That directly gave Ji Li a clear answer—its weakness was definitely not something opposed to water.
