Escape through a door,

The path to another death.

June 7, 2050 at 3:12 a.m

Yin Ji and I hurried to the door of the cabin, but the door was open, and at first glance there was no one to see.

We glanced at each other, and I ran to the front, and quickly rushed into the house, but there was no one in the house. We anxiously searched around, and then stopped at the open basement passageway. The passage stretches infinitely, but the darkness seems to guide us forward.

I swallowed a mouthful of saliva, paused for a second, and ran straight down. Yin Ji followed closely behind me and ran down with me without leaving an inch.

The light, bright, faintly faint, seemed to be blown out with a slight blow.

By the faint candlelight, I stood in the basement doorway, looking around: the cells side by side, the various torture instruments, the keys of different shapes, and the strange mirror......

Wait a minute? Spooky mirrors?

I looked closely at the mirror—between the mirror and the wall, I could faintly see the light.

Could it be that the door behind it is open?

I walked to the mirror step by step, stopped in front of the mirror, slowly moved it away, reached over my hand, and cautiously pushed towards the door......

However, at this moment, I heard the door "bang" and popped out from the inside out, and it instantly touched my nose and knocked out my nosebleed.

"Char, great, you're still alive!"

Arthur rushed out and grabbed me by the neck, tears still shining in his eyes.

"Char, what's wrong with your nose?" Arthur tilted his head, looked at my bleeding nostrils, and suddenly laughed out loud.

I rubbed my nose, put my hand in front of it, and said in a thick nasal voice, "I accidentally bumped into it." ”

Xiaoyu poked her head out and stepped out from behind Arthur, grabbed the corner of my coat with her hand, and stared at me with round eyes.

She suddenly narrowed her eyes into a slit with joy, hugged my waist, and screamed "woo~woo~" vigorously.

"Who is she?" Arthur's gaze rested on the Yin Ji hiding behind me, and she looked her up and down before asking me.

I patted Yin Ji's hand and motioned her to relax, Yin Ji poked her head out, looked at the few people in front of her, slowly walked out, came to Arthur, and introduced herself to her: "Hello, my name is Yin Ji, I am different from you, and I do not belong to this planet. ”

"Yin Ji? The name...... It's weird, it sounds like an ancient person. You don't belong on this planet? Could it be that you are still an alien? Arthur asked.

Yin Ji smiled, perhaps she had never expected anyone to ask such an inquiry, and she replied, "Indeed, I am from an alien, and from your point of view, maybe I am like an alien." But I am fundamentally different from humans, my whole body is mostly made up of quanta, and my mind comes from the universe, receiving the information transmitted by the universe, and at the same time returning the information to the universe.

I didn't know my birth, and I didn't know my name. When I opened my eyes for the first time, I didn't have a name, it was the name you humans gave me without permission. The person who took the name once told me that the name came from a book, and the name of that book was called "Why the Red Dust Resentment", and the name Yin Ji originally belonged to the ghost official in that book.

Yin Ji and Blood Red Butterfly, they have traveled through countless eras, countless worlds, seen all the worlds, and finally took different paths.

She felt like they were like me and "The X", and we also crossed planes, planes, and dimensions. That's why she gave me the name of Yin Ji and the name of "The X" Scarlet Butterfly.

Actually, I have the same code name as the Blood Red Butterfly, my code name is "The Y", and the code name of the Blood Red Butterfly is "The X", but I gladly accepted the name, and the Blood Red Butterfly was very resistant to the name.

They ended up calling her "The X", and I stuck with the name Yin Ji. Maybe I want to be human, not a codename. ”

Yin Ji said this, and a trace of sadness suddenly flashed in her eyes. I saw her take a long breath, and then slowly spit it out, and a person said to herself: "Even so, I am actually just a 'particle crystal'......"

"'Particle crystals'?"

Arthur had never heard of this title, but she had seen her eyes wide open and staring at the face of the cathode suspiciously, as if to see her thoroughly.

Yin Ji smiled awkwardly, and then added, "To be exact, it's the 'humanoid quantum crystal manifestation'. ”

"'Humanoid quantum crystal embodiment'?" Arthur was even more puzzled.

"Yes." Yin Ji nodded.

Arthur's eyes widened, but her mind seemed to be overloaded and completely stopped in place, she frowned, tilted her neck, and began to wander alone.

I looked at Arthur, and then at Yinhime.

Yin Ji's words, not to mention Arthur, even those I already know a little bit about are in the clouds at this time, and it is really difficult to understand.

I looked around and suddenly noticed that there were a few people missing, so I immediately interrupted: "By the way, what about the others?" Where did they go? ”

Arthur shook his head and said, "When Xiaoyu and I escaped from the Giant Snake Cave, we were separated from Yu Bo and them, and when we came back, the door of the cabin was open, and I didn't see Zhou Qiuxian, nor did I see them who escaped from the Giant Snake Cave. ”

"What about this basement? Why is the basement door also open? I asked.

"I don't know about this, when Xiaoyu and I found this place, its door had already opened."

I was silent, and walked alone to the door next to the "egg", and reached out to carefully touch the door that could not be opened.

The door behind the mirror was open, they should have been here, but they couldn't be found here.

Did they escape behind this door?

I frowned.

I suddenly remembered the first few reincarnations, the first reincarnation, where I collapsed, banged on the door that couldn't be opened, and finally, in desperation, pierced the needle into the heart, and finally died here.

In the second reincarnation, I also died here, but at the moment when I was about to die, I saw a woman in a white coat who couldn't see her face clearly.

………

?

Wait a minute?

A woman in a lab coat?

If this wasn't my delusion, then there shouldn't have been anyone right at that time.

But where did she come from?

If she really exists, then she can only come from behind this door, this door that I have never opened.

Thinking of this, I suddenly clenched my fists and stared at the door—it had no key and could not be opened, it was embedded in it like a wall.

But......

The woman in the white coat came out of it, and since she was able to come out, then Yu Bo and they should also enter from here.

This door is like two worlds apart: one is endless death, and the other is unknown hope.

If you turn it on, will you be able to avoid death? If you close it, will you only be in despair?

I don't know, and though I'd love to know, I still can't know.

Damn it!

I banged on the door with my fist and pinched it with my fingernails.

Obviously the answer is right in front of me, am I still powerless...... Is it?

The fog slowly drifted in from outside the door, and from my angle, I could see it drifting in.

I suddenly remembered the gnomes, and I remembered the yin of the previous worlds.

I remember that in every world, the dwarf died first, then the Yin Ji disappeared, and then the volcano erupted, and the poisonous gas was filled.

If the dwarf is the beginning of everything, and Wu Han is the murderer who kills the dwarf, then the Yin Ji in the Giant Snake Cave in each world is probably more than lucky.

This time it was an explosion, what about the first few times? The first few times without us, maybe the scale was relatively small, and little by little, the poisonous gas leaked out and infected the soil, until the volcano erupted and completely spread to the entire island.

And this time, there was such a big explosion that it detonated all the poisonous gases at once, filled the entire island, and finally drifted here......

I suddenly understood all the processes and realized the time of our death.

I slowly closed my eyes......

"Yes, this day will come, I promise you. ”

"Really? Then I'll trust you. ”】

I suddenly remembered the promise I had made to Arthur under the night sky in my last reincarnation.

Yes, I promised her that I would let her see this day coming, and I swore to myself: if the world decides our life and death, then let me kill the world and recreate an ending where none of us will die.

These are obviously my own words, and these are obviously my own insistent ideas, but in the end I forgot about them, but in the end I chose to give up.

I laughed, laughed maniacally, covered my face with my hands, ran quickly to the door, closed the door with a "bang", and turned my face to look at the "egg" behind me.

I remember that in the research room of the "Ark", the "eighth man" Qiu Xinyu was lying in such a container; And in the research room of the Cave of the Serpent, Yin Ji also lies in such a container.

These two containers are exactly the same, and they seem to pull my fate in the dark.

This container, if I open this container, will I be able to use Qiu Xinyu's ability, will I be able to find a way to open another door? Another door to the truth?

I walked over slowly, staring at the "egg" in front of me, and in front of all of them, I pressed the switch on it.

The "egg" opened, and I looked at the person inside, and his face was clearly the same as mine.

I took a step back, but my leg went limp and I fell to the ground.

The other me, waking up, slowly straightened up and looked down at my face.

I hurriedly looked around, at Arthur and Xiaoyu, but they looked at "Egg" and at me suspiciously, as if they couldn't see him at all.

"Don't look at it, I'm you, it's another you."

"You're me, the other me?"

The other I nodded, pointed to the syringe hanging beside me, and said to me: "You have mastered the ability of 'The X', opened the door of time and space once, now you can control the time freely, pick it up, pierce your heart, you don't need to go to other worlds, go directly back to this world The moment the giant snake cave exploded, follow Yu Bo and them, you will find your own answer." ”

The other I suddenly burst out laughing, pointed my finger at me, and said arrogantly, "The other me, you listen to me!" If this world determines our life and death, then let's kill this world and recreate an ending where none of us will die! No matter how many times you die, no matter how desperate your future is, you are never allowed to give up! I will be at the end of hell, supervising you, and I will be waiting for you in the bright future! ”

I was suppressed by the arrogance of the other self, and I just stared blankly into his eyes and replied, "Yes...... Be. ”

The corners of his mouth lifted and disappeared in front of my eyes, and I picked up the syringe and plunged it into my heart.

"Char! Char!! ”

"Woo!! Woo!! ”

Arthur and Xiaoyu ran towards me, but my vision became blurred, and I collapsed in a pool of blood with a smile......
