The mysterious woman's words were so conclusive that Tao Yaping couldn't find a reason to argue with her. She frowned, as if she had to accept the phrase "from parallel dimension" for the time being.

But there were still countless mysteries in her heart, so she asked: "Since you and I are the same person, what kind of grudge can there be between us? Why do you have to kill me? What do you mean that I am dead so that you can live?"

The mysterious woman hesitated, no longer answering all questions as before, but repeatedly confirmed: "I'll tell you the answer, do you really promise not to call the police?"

For some reason, when the police are mentioned, this cold-blooded killer suddenly becomes like a child who has made a mistake, panicked and helpless. Tao Yaping saw a sincere begging in her eyes again - that was another self!

She relented and promised, "If I could be sure I'm safe, I might choose not to call the police." ”

The woman nodded slightly, understanding that it was not easy to get such a promise. After all, the other party is facing a threat to life.

"I ......," she thought for a moment, and organized her words: "I am not from this world, and if I want to live here, I must have a reasonable identity." ”

She raised her head, looked at Tao Yaping indifferently with her eyes, and spit out softly: "I have no choice, I can only replace you." ”

Instead of you. It was just three words, but it was like thunder on the ground, which shocked Tao Yaping and almost fainted. - She wants to occupy the magpie's nest, she wants Li Dai Taozhuang!

What does this mean? This means that if you are really unfortunate enough to be killed by a "clone" from a parallel dimension, no one will know! Let alone solve the case, let alone avenge the wrongs, everything will be impossible - because no one will find out at all.

There will be an identical "Tao Yaping" in everyone's field of vision. And this substitute, who has exactly the same biological information and the same personal experience as himself, can still firmly and permanently keep this secret, and will never be debunked by the outside world.

And herself, like a diffuse mist, will disappear completely, without a trace. It's as clean as if it never really existed in this world.

Thinking of this, Tao Yaping couldn't help but be afraid for a while, and subconsciously took a small step back and glanced away.

"So...... You went to the research institute to steal reagents, and that's what it was for?"

"Yes. The woman's answer was crisp, "I was going to get a bottle of potassium cyanide out." ”

Potassium cyanide, Tao Yaping smiled bitterly. Needless to say, the two of them have tacitly agreed that the other party's original plan was to poison themselves. It is said that people with potassium cyanide poisoning will have flushed faces and will look very good. Thinking of this, she inexplicably felt a faint comfort.

"But I was discovered before I could get my hands on it, and I lost my access card, so I couldn't enter the institute anymore and couldn't steal reagents. I had to ...... last resort."

He was forced to hide in his home and carry out a thrilling assassination - which was really guessed by the young policeman - but he could never have guessed that the assailant would be a more ridiculous being than a "clone".

When the woman said this, she didn't go any further. Her taciturn nature is still the same. If you don't ask, she will definitely not take the initiative to answer one more word.

Tao Yaping could only ask again: "You didn't do it to make money, why did you steal the 20,000 yuan?"

The woman was stunned for a moment, as if she didn't expect that she would be found out about withdrawing money, so she had to explain embarrassedly: "I ...... I came with only a little cash with me, and it ran out quickly. If you pay with your mobile phone, you are afraid that the same consumption record will appear on your mobile phone, and you will see the clues. So...... I had to go and get a bank card to withdraw cash. ”

"Did you go home to get it? and deliberately chose this CCB card?"

"Yes. Get it while you're at work. I thought this card was ...... You won't notice it for a while. ”

"What about clothes and shoes? for the same reason?"

"Yes. There was no extra change of clothes, so I went out of my way to pick out a few items that you don't often wear. Thinking as little as possible not to draw your attention. ”

Tao Yaping smiled helplessly again, and whispered to herself: "Heh, we are really the same person." "Only the same person can understand each other to this extent.

It's a pity that the woman's mind was all in vain. The bank card and the clothes taken away were all discovered by Tao Yaping. And it was precisely because those shoes made the killer reveal a flaw, she was suspicious and guarded, and the assassination was unsuccessful. Otherwise, everything that happens after that will be rewritten.

"Why don't you buy new ones when you have taken the money?" and risk your home to get your clothes?"

"I don't think it's a risky thing to do. I can come and go in this house freely, and it's hard for you to find that something is missing. And ......" The woman hesitated slightly: "I thought that in a few days, I would be able to replace you and move in as the hostess." Everything in the house will be mine, so I don't think there's any need to waste money on buying new ones. It's going to be a while. ”

This reason really made Tao Yaping speechless. It seems that in the other party's heart, killing himself seems to be a winning matter, and it is impossible to miss it.

She must not have expected the current situation.

The two were silent for a while.

Suddenly, Tao Yaping seemed to remember something terrible, and asked nervously: "Since your target is me, why do you still go to school?

The woman's gaze dimmed instantly, and she replied softly, "I'm just...... I want to meet my children. ”

"See the child?" Tao Yaping suddenly became excited, "What are you going to do to Haohao?

This suspicion made the woman's indifferent face appear "emotion" for the second time. She argued, slightly excitedly, "How could I do that? I just want to see him a few more times!" every day...... I can only see him for a short time when I go to and after school. ”

She cast her gaze on the ground again, and her tone softened: "The reason why I came here is all for him, how can I hurt him." ”

"...... for him?" Tao Yaping instinctively felt that there seemed to be a hidden meaning in these words, and things might not be good, so she hurriedly asked: "What's wrong with him?

The woman also seemed to realize that her reaction was too big, so she retracted her "emotion" just now, flashed her eyes, and replied squeakingly: "Not much, it's just ...... It's just that I gave up custody of him. Afterward...... When he grew up, he hated me a little and didn't want to recognize me as a mother. That's ......," she thought as she said, "that's why I'm planescrossing here." I hope that before everything happens, this wrong decision can be corrected and the child can be saved. ”

"Give up custody?" Tao Yaping quickly grasped this keyword, and her eyes changed from initial doubts to hesitation and sadness. Said weakly: "So...... Liu Cong did not come back in the end. I'm ...... after all It's still divorced, isn't it?"

The woman's face was unwavering, as if she had already stopped thinking about the matter of "divorce". Giving up on that man is as easy and casual as throwing away a tissue that has wiped your mouth. She commented coldly: "It's a pity to leave early and get rid early." ”

Tao Yaping spent a while digesting the news that made her heart collapse, and then she hung her head and said helplessly: "Leave, let's leave." Never mind. ”

After a while, she suddenly raised her head again, stared at the ruthless "self" in front of her, and asked: "But even if I don't want anything and leave the house, I will never give up Haohao's custody." But you...... You even abandoned him?!"

The other looked uneasy and began to burst into tears.

"Do you have any problems?"

The woman stopped talking for a while, but finally closed her eyes and replied with only two words: "No." ”

Tao Yaping shook her head and was heartbroken: "I just felt that you and I are really similar, worthy of being the same person." But now I don't think so. You and I are fundamentally different. You're not worthy of being his mother!"

"I ......" is a very serious sentence that pierces people's hearts. No matter how cold and numb the woman was, she was still deeply stung. But she held back her tears and didn't defend herself after all.

The two were at a stalemate for a while before Tao Yaping opened the topic and asked, "During this time, where do you stay at night?"

"Stayed at the hotel for the first few days. On the 5th, I went to the research institute to steal medicine without success, and I am afraid that you will call the police. To be on the safe side, I didn't continue to stay in the hotel. Immediately rented a small single room in a nearby urban village. According to the rules, you have to pay a quarter's rent and deposit in advance, so I took the card and withdrew 20,000 yuan. ”

Tao Yaping was relieved. She has the same ID card as herself, and she must be afraid that the police will find out the opening information, so she will not dare to stay in the hotel again. Renting a house in an urban village is a good choice, as the rent is relatively cheap, and there are blind spots everywhere, which are not easy to track.

"It's late, you can go back first. Come back at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning, and we'll discuss this matter well. ”

The woman showed an incredulous expression: "You are really willing...... Just let me go? Really don't call the police?"

Tao Yaping replied: "Yes." You can go now. But if you don't come on time tomorrow, I'll call the police immediately. ”

The woman was determined and had to be forced to accept this condition. After all, for her, getting out of the game is the top priority right now. So she put on her mask again, left a "see you tomorrow", and turned around and disappeared into the night.

Tao Yaping went to the bodyguard to say a few more perfunctory words, so that he could get off work tonight and then return to his villa.

She still held her chair against the front and back doors, then inserted the anti-theft chains, and felt that everything was safe before going up to the second floor, and collapsed on the bedroom bed with her limbs outstretched.

In the past half a month, the development of events has become more and more beyond her cognition, and the unexpected events that have broken through the limits of imagination have continued to impact her bottom line. She was already exhausted and exhausted. Especially tonight, when she suddenly saw the most shocking and bizarre scene in the world, she could no longer react effectively to what had happened.

She needs long enough to be alone quietly and well to understand and digest this wave of great waves.
