Tang Anshu rearranged the timeline of events after they entered the mansion, first of all, Wei Chiran met the flower cat girl for the first time, and according to the clues obtained, it was speculated that it should be Ye Xiaowan at the age of 22. In this incident, in addition to Ye Xiaowan, there was also a strange flower cat, and the flower cat was thrown downstairs by Ye Xiaowan, as for why she did this, it is unknown. It was also because Wei Chiran didn't think too much about it at that time, and didn't pay attention to the security guards he met in the underground parking lot when he went downstairs afterwards, and didn't ask for their numbers and names, but only remembered their general appearance.

Then Tang Anshu met Ye Xiaowan when he was 17 years old, in addition to giving him a box of cakes, Ye Xiaowan also entrusted him to investigate the murder of the female ghost, but the situation that was said was limited to this sentence to explain it clearly, and the rest of Ye Xiaowan did not say much, it should be that the female ghost did not inform Ye Xiaowan in detail.

Immediately afterwards, Wei Chiran went upstairs because of the crying, and met the cat girl again, and also met the security guard Zhang Yuan who witnessed Ye Xiaowan jumping off the building and committing suicide.

The fourth time was when Tang Anshu went to room 1404 and saw the posthumous photo of 25-year-old Ye Xiaowan.

The fifth time was that Tang Anshu and Wei Chiran went to room 1404 together and saw 17-year-old Ye Xiaowan again.

Wei Chi pondered: "From this point of view, there are only three parallel worlds of Ye Xiaowan. ”

Tang Anshu thought for a moment, and then said: "Maybe it's four, and it's four different time periods. ”

Wei was puzzled: "What do you say?" ”

Tang Anshu said: "Will Ye Xiaowan, who jumped off the building, belong to the same world as the Ye Xiaowan who I saw later?" I'm speculating in reverse, since the time periods are all different, then the space must be different either, so, strictly speaking, it should be four. ”

Wei Chiran pondered: "The 22-year-old Ye Xiaowan I met was the first, the 17-year-old Ye Xiaowan you met was the second, and then the 22-year-old Ye Xiaowan who jumped off the building and committed suicide was the third, and the only one left after death was the fourth?" ”

Tang Anshu nodded and said, "Yes, what we are looking for now is people and things that can connect the whole thing." ”

Wei Chiran closed his eyes and recalled: "The only person who can connect Ye Xiaowan is her mother Li Lan, as for the matter, there is really nothing." ”

"I met Li Lan twice," Tang Anshu recalled, "The first time I saw Li Lan who had just lost her daughter, she was in a very bad spirit, very sad, but very vigilant, and it made people feel very weird, the second time was when the two of us went to 1404 together, this time Li Lan seemed to be a different person, no, it should be said that a soul was changed, thinking of Ye Xiaowan's changes, I thought, what happened to Ye Xiaowan between the ages of 17 and 22? ”

Wei Chiran asked, "Has there been any change in Ye Xiaowan's family?" ”

Tang Anshu took out his mobile phone and opened the video: "Look at it, I have specially filmed, but it is just the situation in her home after Ye Xiaowan's death." ”

After watching the video, Wei Chiran made a comparison with what he had seen before in his mind, and then said: "It's strange, almost nothing has changed, what is this?" ”

Tang Anshu said: "There are two places that make me care a lot, first, when Ye Xiaowan drank Coke, she said that the packaging was different, indeed, the packaging of Coke in 2009 was definitely different from that in 2019, and second, in 2009, smartphones were not completely popular, and her mother and she were not curious about my mobile phone, which is very strange, it is understandable that her mother doesn't care, but how can a 17-year-old girl not care about this?" Because of this, I didn't find out that 17-year-old Ye Xiaowan was from 10 years ago. ”

Wei Chi suddenly thought of something: "There is one more thing, female ghost." ”

Tang Anshu nodded and said, "Yes, female ghost, what did you think of?" ”

Wei Chiran smiled: "I have a rather ridiculous idea, and this idea is also because there was a haunted incident in the building before. ”

Tang Anshu understood: "Because of the confusion of space and time, do you think that female ghost is Ye Xiaowan after death?" ”

Wei Chiran pointed at Tang Anshu and said, "That's right, that's what I meant, isn't it ridiculous?" ”

Tang Anshu said: "It's not ridiculous, maybe it's true, now, we have to figure out one thing, what law is the law of transformation of several parallel worlds, and how to correspond to parallel worlds according to this law." ”

This question is by far the hardest, and it is what the two have been trying to figure out.

Wei Chi got up to make coffee, and when he was about to fight at night, there was a knock on the door, he subconsciously looked at the door, and then looked at Tang Anshu, after Tang Anshu nodded, he asked, "Who?" ”

No one answered outside the door, but Tang Anshu subconsciously pulled out his gun and nodded at Wei Chiran, who stepped forward to open the door, and at the same time flashed to the side, but was surprised to find that Ye Xiaowan with a pale face was standing outside the door, and it was Ye Xiaowan who was 22 years old.

Ye Xiaowan's eyes were very dull, exactly the same as when Wei Chiran first found her, and Wei Chiran asked, "Is there something wrong?" ”

Ye Xiaowan didn't answer, just walked straight to the room, ignoring Tang Anshu, walked directly to the bed, and then got under the bed.

Tang Anshu and Wei Chiran both found that Ye Xiaowan was barefoot, and her feet were full of dirt, and she stepped on a long list of footprints on the floor.

The lieutenant walked to the door and looked outside, and saw that there was no one else outside the door. Tang Anshu was lying on the ground, looking at Ye Xiaowan under the bed, not knowing what she was doing.

After Ye Xiaowan climbed under the bed, she was not lying down, but lying on her stomach, facing the ground, lying on her stomach in a regular manner, and the most terrifying thing was that her eyes were still wide, and she looked at the ground closely.

Wei Chi squatted down, turned on the flashlight of his mobile phone and looked, he found that Ye Xiaowan's whole body was dirty, full of mud, as if she had fallen somewhere.

"Xiaowan?" Tang Anshu asked, "Are you Ye Xiaowan?" ”

Ye Xiaowan under the bed didn't answer, she didn't seem to hear at all, she just lay there motionless.

Wei Chiran and Tang Anshu looked at each other, completely unable to understand what the hell was going on? Just when the two of them were wondering and didn't know what to do next, there was a cat meow at the door, after Wei Chiran opened the door, he found that there was a flower cat sitting outside the door, and the flower cat saw that the door was open and trotted all the way to the position of the bed, and also went directly into it, lying on Ye Xiaowan's back, turning his head to look at Wei Chiran and Tang Anshu outside the bed, and making an attack sound.

Tang Anshu asked, "What's the matter with this cat?" ”

"I don't know," said Wei Chi, "but this cat seems to hate us, and if he doesn't hate us, he won't make this sound, but if he hates us, the cat won't come in, and when it comes in, it walks calmly and not anxiously, which is very strange in the cat's habits." ”

Just as the two of them were staring at the flower cat lying on Ye Xiaowan's body, a voice sounded from the door: "I'm sorry, is my daughter here with you?" ”

Wei Chiran and Tang Anshu turned their heads and got up, but they saw Li Lan standing at the door, Li Lan seemed to be in a good mental state, smiling all over her face, but it was completely different from the previous image of a housewife, but it was not as weird as Ye Xiaowan after her death, in short, she felt that her current politeness was all disguised.

Tang Anshu noticed the necklace around Li Lan's neck at this time, he paid attention to the necklace pendant, at this time, Li Lan reached out and put the pendant into his clothes, and asked again: "Excuse me, is my daughter here with you?" ”

Wei Chiran pointed to the bottom of the bed and said, "Is that your daughter under the bed?" ”

Li Lan squatted down and just glanced at it: "Xiaowan, why did you run to someone's house?" Let's go back with Mom. ”

Li Lan said, smiled apologetically at Wei Chiran and Tang Anshu, and then got under the bed to catch Ye Xiaowan, but the moment she got in, her expression became hideous, like a beast caught her prey, she grabbed Ye Xiaowan's hand and dragged it out desperately, but because the upper body of the person was too heavy and the center of gravity was not easy to grasp, she simply grabbed Ye Xiaowan's ankle directly and dragged it out from under the bed.

When Li Lan grabbed Ye Xiaowan's ankle and dragged it out, dragging it for several meters, then stepped forward to help Ye Xiaowan get up, her posture and movements made Wei Chiran and Tang Anshu feel cold, if it weren't for them here, Li Lan seemed to be dragging Ye Xiaowan's feet away.

Ye Xiaowan still didn't say a word, her eyes were dull, and she moved away amid Li Lan's apology.

"Excuse me," Tang Anshu directly stopped Li Lan, "Is your daughter sick?" ”

"Don't meddle around," Li Lan lowered his voice from between his teeth and squeezed out such a sentence after hearing this, although it was very low and very quiet, but it was still heard by the nearest lieutenant.

Hearing this, Wei Chi trembled, and actually felt a little scared, but when Li Lan turned around, his face was the same hypocritical smile as before: "Yes, she has schizophrenia, and she has caused you trouble, I'm really sorry, I will come to apologize to the two of you when I have time." ”

After speaking, Li Lan dragged Ye Xiaowan and left, but when she turned around, her face returned to that hideous expression.

When Li Lan walked out, Wei Chiran and Tang Anshu made eye contact for a second, and immediately chased out, waited outside the elevator room, and then listened to the elevator door open and close, then slowly walked out and looked at the numbers on the elevator display.

The numbers didn't stop when they jumped to the 14th floor, but they kept changing until they reached the roof.

"The rooftop?" Wei Chiran wondered, "Why did she go to the roof if she didn't take Ye Xiaowan home?" ”

Tang Anshu pressed the elevator: "Let's go up and take a look, don't forget, our identity is a policeman." ”

After the two took the elevator all the way to the top of the building, they didn't find Li Lan and Ye Xiaowan. The two searched the roof of the building, but they couldn't find either. Originally, they suspected that the two of them took the elevator and went down again, but when they reached the top of the building, both elevators stopped on this floor, and if they took another elevator down, the elevator could not stop here.

Tang Anshu suddenly realized something: "The space has changed again. ”

Wei Chiran also nodded slightly, looked at Tang Anshu, and then turned his head to look at the elevator: "I understand, it's not that the space is changing randomly, but the reason for the elevator, every time we enter a different parallel world, before a different time and space, we have all taken the elevator." ”
