She survived.

To be precise, she had already felt a little regretful from the moment she saw the silhouette on the wall, and wondered if she was too risky. In this way, while solving a crisis, it pushes itself into a deeper nightmare.

But in fact, at that point, it's hard for them to think of anything better.

Someone else had broken the main power supply in her room—but she suspected it was "her" herself. They have no lights and can't enter other people's rooms, so setting a fire to something in a small area is the best way to get "them" to notice.

Although the cost of attracting "them" may be unbearable for everyone.

But anyway, she survived.

At the same time, there was a dying young man named Ed who was lying in the hall downstairs. The young man's situation is a little worse, because his hamstring was broken by the woman long ago, and it is already the limit to be able to barely support and stumble on the ground, not to mention the continuous high-intensity escape and evasion behavior in the fine water pressure.

They jumped directly from the outer rooftop of the 55th floor to the 50th floor, and after rushing down, they didn't even dare to alarm the voice-activated sensor lights in the corridor, and ran and jumped down in the dark on tiptoe all the way like thieves. I finally escaped to the waiting room on the second floor, and I was afraid to confirm that those things had not been chased down for a while, so that I could breathe for a while.

She half-squatted to calm down the violent beating of her heart that was about to jump out of her chest, and heard the young man next to her turn over on the ground, and asked in a dumb voice, "What are those things just now?" ”

"I'm not sure, looking at the shadows is a bit like some kind of bird." She said, "I don't want to talk about that, but I'm surprised by one thing...... What the hell are you? ”

The young man lay on the ground and stared at her for a moment, as if struggling to discern whether he was joking or scolding him. He seemed to really have a brain that couldn't turn around, and froze for a moment. "What do you mean, I'm Ed, didn't you say it?"

"What were you doing yesterday?"

She spoke almost the moment the young man's words landed, without giving the other party time to react at all. Ed rolled down his throat with a nervous look and hesitated, "I ...... yesterday At home. ”

"At home all day?"

"Well, almost. Anyway, with my identity, I feel ...... Something wasn't quite right anyway, so I basically stayed at that house all day yesterday to investigate things. Then in the evening, the police suddenly came to me, saying that they had found some clues and wanted me to confirm it. ”

She quietly looked at the young man's face for a while, and the other party swallowed a mouthful of saliva uncontrollably, looking nervous, but she didn't feel that the other party looked like he was lying.

So now suppose that the youth did not lie. Last night, in "her" own memory, the murder at the birthday party had just happened, and according to all the insiders present, the little master of the Fu family had been playing outside for a day, and he was only able to rush back when he cut the cake at night.

If the memory of "last night" is not wrong, and the information given by the youth is not wrong, then only one thing can be proved - the timeline is misplaced.

…… Is it possible that the "yesterday" in her cognition is in fact not the "yesterday" in the normal timeline at all?

Or is she and the others all forgotten in the "time" after "yesterday", and only the young man in front of her who claims to be Ed and is the only one whose name has ever appeared is the key point?

That means that the cognition experienced by "Fu Huai'an" is completely correct, and other people who don't have a name, including herself, are all blinded by their memories. They are looking at the world through a layer of fog, and naturally they are not as good as the people who stand at the top of the maze and look down.

She stared into the young man's eyes until the other scratched his head a little uncomfortably and looked away. And just after half an hour, the young man's gaze suddenly froze, and the whole person paused in a certain direction.

"Afu, look over there."

The stiff atmosphere lasted for a while, and Ed sat down and touched his nose, raising his hand to point at something.

She was stunned in a slight way, but she didn't lose her temper for long, and turned her eyes to that position, and found that what the young man was looking at was actually the corner of the grandstand inside the hall on the second floor, hidden in the shadows.

"Look, is there something there?"

Ed frowned, thanks to the fact that the silhouette of the thing that can't see the form for the time being will not be a human corpse or something, otherwise the young man will run directly on the stairs at this moment, and he will not stay at all and still say "Look" here.

She hesitated for a moment, pursed her lower lip and said, "Do you want to go and see?" ”

As soon as these words came out, he didn't get any response, frowning and turning his head to look at the young man's position, only to find that the other party looked at him like a ghost.

Ed opened his mouth, as if he hadn't reacted yet. "You...... Asking me? ”

"What if it weren't?"

"Oh oh yes, yes, go over and have ......a look," Ed nodded as if he had just woken up from a dream, and the glance that glanced over from time to time was still an uncomfortable look of wonder and scrutiny. She suppressed the discomfort in her heart and didn't speak, but just walked towards the outline of the inner stand in her trance memory, getting closer and closer, and the subtle sense of déjà vu in her heart became more and more intense.

Closer, she heard the young man beside her seem to be cursing softly.

Actually, it wasn't anything special, just a bunch of thick ropes coiled up. Probably because of the angle, and because the lights are not turned on much in the stands, the silhouette illuminated by the only night light is rather weird.

She looked at the exposed knot, and suddenly her mind felt as if someone had shoehorned in a few images, all of which showed several upside-down visual memories.

She remembered a little, including the previous conversation with the strong man when he was not dead.

It was as if she had been hung upside down by someone on the second floor of the inner stands, and it was not clear who that person was or why she did it.

Just as she was one-sidedly lost in thought, a young man named Ed suddenly patted his head and suddenly realized.

"I think I've been to this place before." His eyes were fixed on the rope in front of him, and then he shifted down to the edge of the stands. "I seem to have really been to this place, it wasn't just me, we were ...... I don't remember, but I have an impression of this place! ”

She turned her head silently, and the question of "Is it your turtle grandson who hangs me up" was stuck in her throat, and after thinking about it, she swallowed it and didn't say anything, but squatted down and carefully checked the hemp rope on the ground.

In fact, such thick hemp rope is rare, because normal residents generally do not prepare this if they do not have any special needs. The rough rope was covered with a thin layer of ash, which looked like it had just been taken out of the warehouse.

"I think it's weird for this thing to be here, don't you think?" Ed also squatted down and looked at it, "This kind of stand looks like the kind of VIP rest seat for the upper class, why is there such a sailor cable piled up here?" ”

She paused. "How do you know it's a sailor's cable?"

"Look at the weaving style." Ed's answer was quick, and at the same time he looked taken for granted. "This is the most basic three-strand ship cable, made of synthetic chemical fiber, with a diameter of between 4 and 50 millimeters. It's very hard-wearing, you see here, it's been a long time coming, and the normal ropes are almost rotten in this case, but this one is still quite strong. ”

Saying this, the young man shrugged at her as if he had just remembered something. "Don't think about it, I'm really as confused as you are right now. I'll only know this because I've been on a transport ship for a little while, you know, life isn't easy. ”

She only glanced at the young man, but did not ask any more questions, and her gaze rested on the rope again.

In such a super high-rise building, who would have such a ship cable?

Employers in the shipping business, workers with access rights, security guards?

"I'm grass, why did he come too......"

As she thought so, she heard Ed whispering a curse from the side. Walking down the line of sight, I saw the light of several flashlights projecting, the footsteps of leather hard-soled boots on the ground were unusually clear in the silent night, and the sound of breathing among the shadows could be faintly heard.

Looks like it's supposed to be the security guard in charge of patrolling.

One of the most striking is probably the person at the end of the line, who is actually humble, and it should be said that the security guard is very prominent in both the professional team and other groups.

A burly figure, narrow eyes, tangled and swollen muscles, and an oversized cotton mask that was large enough to cover half of his face.

Even wearing a mask to block most of the terrifying face is still shocking.

"I thought this guy was either dead or going alone, but I didn't expect to become a security guard......" Ed muttered something next to him. She quickly grabbed the other party so that he would not be so exposed to the patrol range of the flashlight, but she didn't expect that as soon as she raised her hand to make a move, she saw the terrifying-looking giant walking at the bottom of the first floor, and actually lifted his eyelids and looked up.

The speed is so fast and natural that it is too late to react. She frowned, and subconsciously turned sideways to retreat into the darkness, but the man looked away first and followed the patrol forward.

Ed let out a long breath, glad that the lights were dim enough not to spot them. But only she knew that at that moment, her eyes with the giant were directly opposed, and it was not even an unintentional visual contact, but it gave people the feeling that he had already known that there were people in the second-floor stands.

Ruling out the possibility that the man was blind, he could not have failed to discover them.

She glanced at Ed, didn't speak, and turned to herself to go downstairs.

I don't know why the giant saw it but didn't reveal it, but the place was clearly unsafe.

However, as soon as she could take a step, she heard a murmur behind her, followed by the exclamations and screams of the young man, so loud that they could reach the ears of the patrol team who had not gone far at any moment.

She turned her head to see what else the other party could provoke, and the next second she saw Ed standing upside down in the air, struggling with his legs constantly kicking his legs. Seeing her coming, she hurriedly shouted as if she was grasping for some life-saving straw and came to help me.

She wanted to take a piece of tape to gag the young man's mouth at the moment, but she had to stop. Because she kind of found out, it turned out that this so-called three-strand sailor cable was not unconsciously thrown here, it was a trap from the beginning.

The lasso is hidden at the bottom of the whirling rope, and the near-black second-floor grandstand environment makes it easy for people to step into it without paying attention. This trap is similar to the lasso used by hunters to catch small and medium-sized prey, as soon as something steps into the trap, the rope will immediately tighten and tie the prey to hang from a tree.

That's what Ed is going on right now.

"Help me!"

At this moment, the angle of the young man's hanging can be described as extremely unlucky. If it was a normal situation to hang headfirst upside down and tie the ankles, a person with better skills would be able to bend up and cut the hanging rope.

But I don't know if it's because Ed has a problem with the angle of stepping into the air or if it's deliberately designed, his entire upper body is now stuck in two of the railings in the middle of the grandstand fence, unless he breaks or breaks the railing first, there is no way to get down from the rope.

"Afu, look at that railing, just open it."

The young man struggled for a moment, as if he saw that the place had been quiet for a long time, and his movements were a little smaller, and his tone changed from the first commanding to a pleading.

"Didn't Fan Zhuo Water City give you the remaining half of the reward yet, they didn't know that we had two games in a row, but they still used me to go back alive as the payment standard." Ed said, "If you save me, it's just after-sales service, okay?" Please, Afu, you can't die without help! ”

She didn't understand why the young man's words could be taken for granted, and that aside—there was always a voice in her head urging her to kill, and that was aside. And when facing the curly-haired woman before, Ed pretended to be weak, but in fact, she could see clearly what she was holding in her hand.

Just because she doesn't care doesn't mean it hasn't happened.

Whether it was a leak in the house that happened to rain overnight, or some kind of luck in the opposite sense, the movement of the young man's struggle really attracted the security guards who came and went, and the giant with an unknown surname was also among them.

What is really interesting is that in the constant dazzling flashlight and questioning sounds, she once again saw the silhouette of the birds from the reflection on the wall.
