Chapter 118: Trapped in an Endless Loop
The conversation between Zhao Shi and Zhou Wenhu didn't last long, and a person appeared at the door, and after this person walked into the house, Zhao Shi and Zhou Wenhu immediately got up and said, "Squad leader." ”
When the man sat down and faced the door, Wei Chiran and the others realized that it was Xiang Jingtian.
It stands to reason that Xiang Jingtian has disappeared during this time period? In other words, Xiang Jingtian is not missing at all, he has been living in Diming Tower?
After Xiang Jingtian sat down, he asked, "Have you arranged your affairs?" ”
Zhao Shidao: "According to your previous deployment, everything has been arranged, but I don't know if we can bring these back?" ”
Zhao Shi said, looking at the two boxes next to him.
Xiang Jingtian also glanced at the box and said, "It should be possible to take it back." ”
Zhou Wenhu seemed to be worried about something, and asked, "Squad leader, can you really bring the gold back?" ”
Xiang Jingtian nodded and said, "Yes." ”
Zhao Shi asked again: "Can you really go back through Diming Tower?" ”
Xiang Jingtian still nodded: "Yes, although you can rest assured, but you have to remember a few key points, I have already written them, you two will read them first and keep them in your minds." ”
Xiang Jingtian took out a booklet and put it on the table, Zhou Wenhu and Zhao Shi immediately sat down together, opened the booklet and looked at it. At this time, Xiang Jingtian stood up, pulled out a pistol from his waist, and pulled the trigger on the two without hesitation.
After the gunshot, the two men were shot in the back of the head and fell to the ground.
This scene shocked the three people outside the door again, but the next scene was the rewind of the picture, as if there was a TV in front of them, and someone took the remote control and started to play it backwards, until it was reversed before Xiang Jingtian walked into the house, when Zhao Shi said, "I don't know if I can really go back".
Immediately after, the scene inside the house played out again, exactly like the previous one.
"Surprised, huh?" Suddenly, a voice came from behind.
Wei Chiran, Feng Rui, and Zhong Fang turned around sharply and saw Xiang Hua standing at the entrance of the corridor with a Thomson submachine gun on his waist.
Xiang Hua sighed slightly: "I know, sooner or later, someone will reveal the secrets inside the Diming Tower." ”
Zhong Fang was about to step forward, but Xiang Hua directly pulled the trigger, and three bullets were shot on the wall on Zhong Fang's side, and at the same time as the cement splashed, Zhong Fang was also forced back to his original position.
Xiang Hua said: "What I have in my hand is a real guy, you should know the fire control range of a Thomson submachine gun in this narrow corridor." ”
Wei Chiran looked at the submachine gun in Xiang Hua's hand, raised his eyes to look at Xiang Hua's face, and finally said: "You are not the son of Xiang Jingtian, you are Xiang Jingtian, right?" That is, the squad leader of the nine-man reconnaissance squad of the expeditionary force in 1943. ”
Xiang Hua nodded and said, "That's right, you are very smart, you are the first person to find out my identity in so many years." ”
Wei Chiran knew that he still had a chance, because Xiang Hua chose to talk to them instead of quietly shooting them directly from behind, which meant that Xiang Hua had other purposes, or needed their help.
Xiang Hua turned around and picked up the rope placed next to him and threw it to Wei Chiran: "You tie each other's hands and tie them in a dead knot." ”
Wei Chiran and the three of them had to do it, originally wanting to do it quietly, but Xiang Hua watched intently, Wei Chiran had to tie Zhong Fang and Feng Rui first, and then turned his back to Xiang Hua, and asked Xiang Hua to tie his hands behind his back.
After everything was in order, Xiang Hua retreated, still holding a gun at them: "I know where you came from, I also know what you do, and I know your purpose." ”
Wei Chi said: "In this room, you have installed eavesdropping equipment, right?" ”
Xiang Hua said: "That's right, do you know why you have to have those things in your equipment?" It's just to paralyze you, to make you think that you are unmonitored, but in fact, the equipment given to you will not be able to detect the things I have hidden in the building, which are very expensive, and they are all high-tech products that I bought at a great price from the black market. ”
Wei was puzzled: "Why did you do this?" What happened to you? ”
At this time, Zhong Fang was staring at Xiang Hua's chest, and she was judging whether Xiang Hua was wearing secret armor.
Xiang Hua sat down cross-legged and looked directly at Wei Chiran: "We are trapped." ”
Wei shook his head slowly, indicating that he did not understand.
Xiang Hua said: "Things have to start from that night in 1943, you all know the previous things, let's start with us separating from the Japanese......
That night, after Xiang Jingtian and the other nine people separated from the Japanese, they had been circling in the forest, walking and walking, but they could not get out, and I don't know how long it took, the sleepy and tired nine people fell asleep in the forest, and when they woke up, it was already dawn.
The nine were ecstatic, thinking that they would definitely be able to leave the strange forest this time, but who knew that when they walked out, they found that everything had changed, and the biggest change was that the Japanese had surrendered and the Second World War was over.
Wei Chiran frowned and said, "You mean, you spent the night in the forest, and it's been more than two years outside?" ”
Xiang Hua said: "To be exact, it's three years. The day we walked out of the woods was 1946. ”
Wei Chi said: "Didn't you go and tell others who you are? ”
Xiang Hua smiled bitterly: "Of course, we also returned to Yunnan, informed everything, and were on the news at the time, and then, we stayed in the army in Yunnan until 1949, but we were very unlucky, nine people were assigned to the 26th Army, I don't need to tell these historical stories, right?" In short, we retreated to Southeast Asia, and became a lone army called the heavens and the earth. ”
Speaking of the word lonely, Wei Chiran felt a little indescribable in his heart, and if he had to describe it, he could only say that it was disgusting.
The experience of Xiang Hua and others was very tragic, they were not recognized, they had no nationality, they hid in the deep mountains and old forests, and died one after another, and finally only Xiang Hua was left, that is, Xiang Jingtian alone, at that time, his name was still Wu Ping.
Wu Ping is also his real name.
Xiang Hua said this and took a deep breath: "I finally died in despair, when I died, I remember it was about 1985, right?" Yes, the first time was in 1985. ”
The first time was in 1985? What does that mean? Wei Chiran looked at Xiang Hua.
Xiang Hua continued: "After I died, it was only about five seconds later, and I opened my eyes, guess what happened?" ”
The lieutenant shook his head hesitantly.
Xiang Hua looked at him and said mysteriously: "I went back to the forest in 1943, and the other 8 brothers around me were also asleep beside me, and it was already dawn, I didn't believe that this was a long dream I had, so I woke them up and asked them one by one, and found that we were not dreaming, everything that happened before was our personal experience, but why did we come back again?" ”
Xiang Hua and the remaining eight brothers were in a panic, they didn't know what was going on, they didn't know how to deal with it, they could only stay where they were, looking at the sun that had risen in the sky, as if the previous decades had been just a nightmare.
Finally, Xiang Hua led everyone out of the jungle again, towards Yunnan, and they found that the same time as last time, the time still jumped to 1946.
Everyone was desperate again, they didn't know what was going on, and continued to move towards Yunnan with doubts and fears, but Xiang Hua suddenly proposed not to go to Yunnan again, they went to the Chinese town instead, right?
Because they are going back to Yunnan now, it is very likely that they will repeat the experience in the previous "dream", and Chinatown is also the place they dreamed of in the past.
Among the nine people, because Xiang Hua was the squad leader and took good care of others, everyone else was willing to obey Xiang Hua's arrangement and turned around and went to the direction of China Town.
After coming to Chinatown, 9 people chose a stable life, each of them found a way to settle down, became T people, in the process, they also tried to find help from the outside world, hoping that everyone believed in their experience, but because it was a special period, their affairs only became a folklore, and were not taken seriously.
But they never gave up the desire to go home, and finally returned to China in 1999 to find their roots, but at that time, five of the nine people had died of illness, and the other four also died in China soon after due to physical reasons.
Xiang Hua said this, closed his eyes and said: "In the second stage, I lived to be more than eighty years old, but I didn't expect that when I died in the hospital, my eyes would be closed and I ......would open again."
Wei Chi interjected: "You are back in the forest in 1943? ”
Xiang Hua nodded helplessly: "That's right, I'm going back again, to be precise, all nine of us went back." ”
This time, the nine men, though frightened, finally figured out what it was all about, and they knew that no matter what choice they made, they would die and return to that night in 1943, and it all seemed like a curse.
Instead of rushing to choose where to go, they sat down and discussed what to do next. How can I escape this curse? However, they were never able to come up with an effective solution.
At this time, some people have a nervous breakdown and choose to commit suicide.
"The person who committed suicide was named Lu Dingwei, the youngest in my class, he was only 17 years old." Xiang Hua looked at Wei Chiran and said, "It is also the one with the worst psychological quality, after he died, there were only me, Zhao Shi, Zhou Wenhu, Zhang Laoer, Gao Jin, Lin Chu, and Tang Renjie." ”
After Lu Dingwei's death, although others felt sad, but they did not have the courage of Lu Dingwei to commit suicide, and finally under Xiang Hua's proposal, the remaining 8 people still decided to go to Chinatown, the reason is very simple, if all this is repeated, then their lives will be simple.
Because of the reason that they have experienced it once, it means that they have the information of the future, and they also grasp the business opportunities, and they know what to do to make a fortune and make themselves invincible. Therefore, this time, the 8 people joined forces to become a small group, which is also equivalent to a gang, from a gang to a company, and finally became the most powerful force in Chinatown.
However, even if the 8 people have experienced two lives, people are human beings after all, and in the end, due to the imbalance in power and money, an internal conflict broke out, and the result of the conflict was that the forces co-founded by the 8 people killed each other and eventually died together.
In the third stage, Xiang Hua died at the age of 50.
Later, the nine returned to the forest in 1943.
