Chapter 46: The Way of Life
Lian Zixin's hand holding the parchment was always a little trembling.
He seemed to see a different version of himself from years ago.
Suddenly, he had a thought: the first time he entered the apartment, he received this bloody task. All this ...... Is it a coincidence? Or is it some kind of banter and ridicule on him from the apartment?
Maybe it's because I'm thinking too much. But what is certain is that now he does feel a spicy irony in his heart.
It's just that, reading this parchment, he found at least one thing out of it.
“The one who is killed by demon can't be killed again .”
This sentence is very easy to understand in English, even Han Lei, who has an average English score, can understand it. However, this is a bit of a puzzle.
Humans who are killed by demons will not be killed a second time.
Isn't this nonsense?
Any resident has only one life! Isn't this a game, but also with a reading file?
"There must be something important to this sentence." Lian Zixin stared at this sentence and said, "Take it out and let Dong Xie take a look, after he sees it, maybe he will be able to find something." ”
"Why don't you call Mu Aishan and Sun Jiamin again?" Han Lei suggested on the side: "Maybe they know something? ”
"Well, I'll give it a try."
Lian Zixin took out his mobile phone, but he thought about it, and if he dialed the phone booth, no one would answer. So, he called the number of He Lian written on the mysterious paper before.
But dialed out, no one answered.
He called the hospital and the phone booth again, but no one answered.
"Lian Zixin." After thinking for a while, Han Lei said: "If according to Dong Xie's statement, it is really a cross-time and space call, then what can we do with them?" ”
"My inference is that we may be in different parallel planes."
"Parallel?"
Lian Zixin nodded and said, "Parallel space-time is the only quantum physics hypothesis that can explain Grandma's paradox. In fact, many manga have used similar settings. ”
"Hmm...... Like Avengers 4? After thinking about it, Han Lei said: "For example, "Avengers 3" and "Avengers 4" are not the same Thanos, because Iron Man, Captain America and others collected the Infinity Stones, which changed history and led to the creation of parallel time and space, so Thanos from another time and space traveled over......"
"Yes, that's what I meant. I didn't watch this movie, but I watched it to pass the time when it was broadcast on the Internet later. ”
"In other words, just like the two movies are not the same Thanos, we are not facing the same black-toothed evil spirit with Sun Jiamin and Mu Aishan?"
"Possibly. In other words, Thanos was originally beheaded by Thor, but if Thanos, who crossed over in "Avengers 4", was not killed by Iron Man's snap of his fingers, but killed the Avengers, then the future of being beheaded by Thor would not have happened. At least, it won't happen to Thanos in a parallel time and space. ”
"Hmm...... So? ”
At this moment, Lian Zixin and Han Lei's eyes lit up.
Don't......
"Let's assume that it's as if we, like Thanos, were beheaded by Thor in the future, and we're the Avengers 4 that foresees the future of our own beheading. So ......"
At this time, looking at the sentence on the parchment roll again, Lian Zixin's heart suddenly became clear!
I see!
A person who has been killed once by a demon cannot be killed a second time.
"I see!"
Lian Zixin finally understood why those messages appeared on that mysterious paper.
"But who wrote that piece of paper?" Han Lei was still a little puzzled: "Could it be the clue hint left for us by the apartment?" ”
"Perhaps...... But I don't think it's that simple. ”
Thinking of this, Lian Zixin grabbed the mobile phone in front of him and dialed the number again, but this time no one answered.
Lian Zixin then took his mobile phone, turned on the flash, and took a few photos of the parchment. When he was done, he placed the parchment roll on the most prominent desk in the room. He wasn't sure if it was a parallel time and space, but if it wasn't, Sun Jiamin and Mu Aishan might also come here in the future, so leaving this thing to them might give them a way out.
After walking out of the room, the next step was to walk tremblingly along the corridor.
He took his mobile phone, looked carefully at the photos he had just taken, and suddenly noticed another thing.
“Corpses are not same as ghosts,they won't the ghosts become corpses,their teeth revert white,and fall on the place where they dead.”
At first he didn't pay much attention to this sentence, but now he was a little confused.
What do Corpse and revert mean? These two words didn't even remember Zixin at all. It can only be determined that one is a noun and the other is a verb.
The implication of this statement is that corpses (or in the plural) are not the same as evil spirits, they do not move. The latter sentence is combined with the context to infer that after the evil spirits turned into corpses, their teeth turned white and fell on the place where they died.
Could it be some kind of proper noun for demons?
"It would be nice if this phone could have Internet access." Lian Zixin was a little unwilling, and said: "Let's go and find out, is there an English-Chinese dictionary here, since you are a doctor, English knowledge is also very important, and many important medical papers have to be written in English." ”
"Makes sense!"
Next, they came to the staircase that led to the third floor.
After some hesitation, the two walked upward.
At this time, Lian Zixin had a hunch that the word corpse might have a lot to do with life. At the same time, he made up his mind that he would study English hard when he went back.
"Han Lei, is the way to survive beyond the scope of ordinary people's knowledge? Not everyone knows English these days. ”
"Well...... I haven't encountered anything like this before. ”
The two of them walked up the stairs, and as soon as they reached the upper floor, their hearts trembled.
A door in front was wide open, and the room inside was the same as the one published in the newspaper...... The room where Xie Xun's body was located was exactly the same!
Holding the light of a mobile phone and a lighter, there is indeed a bookshelf inside.
The two of you look at me, I look at you, and finally Han Lei said: "I'll go, you help me guard the door." ”
Lian Zixin couldn't help admiring Han Lei's true man, and frankly speaking, at this time, he definitely didn't have the guts.
The blood word task, in fact, is not only about IQ, but also about guts! If you don't have the guts, you often can't get the clues in front of you.
Han Lei took the lighter and walked into the door.
He didn't look at the bed on the side, that was where Xie Xun died.
Approaching the bookshelf, he began to look.
English-Chinese Dictionary...... English-Chinese Dictionary...... English-Chinese Dictionary......"
As long as you find a dictionary, you can recognize more words on it, and maybe you can get more clues about how to live.
Most of them are medical books, mostly related to surgery.
Finally, when he shone the lighter to the other side of the bookshelf, he finally found that there was an English-Chinese dictionary there!
He quickly stretched out his hand and pulled out the dictionary, and suddenly a large pile of dust sprayed out, and Han Lei hurriedly covered his mouth and nose with his hand.
There was a thick layer of ash on the cover of the book, and Han Lei immediately wiped it all off.
Immediately afterward, he slowly opened the dictionary.
“C…… Look for C...... first"
Han Lei remembered when he used to learn English when he was a student, and now in this era, as long as you download a translation software app on your mobile phone, it is easy to look up an English word, where is there still such trouble.
He brought the lighter close to the catalogue and swept it down little by little.
“C…… On this page......"
The words are arranged in alphabetical order, but it takes a bit of time to translate them like this.
“C…… co……”
At this time, both Han Lei and Lian Zixin were extremely nervous!
Because they were so nervous, they even forgot about it...... You can take out the dictionary and read it again!
Han Lei was too nervous, even if Lian Zixin was behind him, he would still look back at the bed from time to time.
"Found it!"
Han Lei finally turned to the meaning of this word.
The noun explanation of this word is...... Dead bodies, especially human corpses!
He looked at the dictionary explanation closely, and was stunned.
Corpse?
This means that a dead body is not the same as an evil spirit, which moves, but a dead body does not. When the evil spirit turns back into a dead body, the teeth will turn back to white, and then fall on the ......
Where they died!
At this moment, under the bed behind him, a hand stretched out from below!
