"Maybe I can save you, but only if we share information openly and honestly. Can you please tell me what Qiao Yu did when he returned to China some time ago? I asked.

"What do you know?" Zhang Youhan didn't answer, but asked.

"I know you guys played with some messy stuff that day, related to shoes and beds." I was confident that I would say something in general terms. In fact, what I know is just speculation.

Zhang Youhan hesitated for a moment, and suddenly raised his head: "Can you really save me?" ”

"Yes." I nodded affirmatively, but smiled wryly in my heart. I'm still confused about this matter, where can I really save her.

"Okay, I'll tell you." Zhang Youhan was about to speak, when suddenly, her eyes widened. I shuddered and followed her gaze. I saw that the red shoes covered by the duvet had stepped on the quilt at some point, and they were walking towards her step by step.

The red shoes took strange steps, as if someone were wearing them. It was as if I had been immobilized, my heart was beating fast, my whole body was stiff, my head was sluggish, and I couldn't move. I could only watch my shoes walk towards Zhang Youhan.

Zhang Youhan screamed and turned around and fled, but the red shoes were still chasing after her unhurriedly. One after the other, the girl and the shoes disappeared from my sight. It didn't take long for the girl's cry to cease like a around the neck, and I regained my mobility and desperately followed the last place where the sound came from.

But it was too late, and all I found was a corpse. Zhang Youhan's face was distorted and he died in the kitchen, holding the pair of leather shoes that were as red as blood in his arms, and the whole person curled up like a boneless insect.

I sighed secretly, took out my phone and took a few photos, and then quickly drove away.

Things are getting more and more complicated, but until now I don't have a clue. It seems that there are no other clues except to find the girls in the photo one by one and ask them what they have played with Qiao Yu. I didn't have a lot of options, I used to think that the 'shoe-to-bed' curse was a one-threaded curse, and one curse would be done before the next curse was over. But after coming to Dongmu County, I realized that I guessed completely wrong.

Curses are multi-threaded, with parallel curses killing both relevant and unrelated. Andrew, who has taken refuge in the United States, has never called me, and I don't know if he is alive or dead. Here in Dongmu County, the list given to me by the old man Yang Junfei and the people in the photo I found seem to be suffering from the curse, welcoming the coming of death one after another. And I, in this closed and backward town, am also very limited in my movements.

The Qiao family had a misunderstanding about me, and my deeds were unfortunately exposed. The police chief's daughter, Zhang Youhan, is dead, and if I want to investigate, I will definitely be able to find evidence that I was there before she died. Now everything is going in my favor, what a headache.

Back at the hotel in the afternoon, I sorted out the materials again, and then stood at the window in a daze. Dongmu County is old, and even the air is filled with stale smells. In the dust, the smell and smoke of burning garbage came from far away from the suburbs, which made my already bad mood even worse.

This old-fashioned hotel doesn't offer internet at all, so I turned on my computer and used my built-in Wi-Fi card to board the Internet and look up a few things about shoes and beds. It's just that there is very little information to refer to, and there is no relevant news and legend.

I sat on the couch and tilted my head back to relieve the pressure on my aching neck. Looking at the yellowed ceiling, I suddenly remembered the "Feet to the Door" incident that I had experienced many years ago. At first glance, 'shoes to bed' and 'feet to the door' may seem similar, but there is a difference in substance. I had investigated it at the time, so all of the people involved in that incident who slept with their feet facing the door died. And the reason is that the black box, the black box containing someone's ashes. Its curse triggers death for all eligible people.

(For details, see: "Night Silent Mystery File 104 - Feet to the Door")

Could it be that the source of this incident also has a strange object? Qiao Yu and the others got it by accident and triggered the mysterious power by accident. That invisible force is replicating and contagious like a virus, spreading from the shoes or bed of the first person to the second contact, and finally to me?

This speculation is highly likely. It's just that I don't know what the real body of the mysterious object is, is it a bed or a shoe?

Rubbing my temples, I was about to click on the local news to take a look. Suddenly, a new email popped up in the mailbox, and the writer was an old man. He forwarded me a news item and I looked at the headline: 'European labs may discover tachyon, 'Theory of Relativity may be overturned'

The full text probably means that the website of the British journal Nature published an article saying that European researchers have discovered the inexplicable neutrino superluminal phenomenon, which violates Einstein's theory of relativity, and researchers are currently cautious about this, hoping that scientists around the world will work together to find out why.

It is said that an experimental device called OPERA under the Gran Sasso National Laboratory in Italy received neutrinos from the famous European Center for Nuclear Research, which are 730 kilometers apart, and the neutrinos travel this distance 60 nanoseconds faster than the speed of light.

(Note: 1 nanosecond equals billionth of a second)

Antonio Iratitato of the University of Bern in Switzerland, who participated in the experiment, said he and his colleagues were so shocked by the results that they observed it repeatedly.1 60,000 times, and after careful consideration of the influence of various other factors in the experiment, it was decided that this observation was valid, and it was decided to make it public.

The speed of light is about 300,000 kilometers per second, and Einstein's theory of relativity states that no object can move faster than the speed of light, which became an important basis for modern physics. If this superluminal phenomenon is really confirmed, it will be of great significance, and the entire system of physical theory may be reconstructed as a result.

Because of the stakes, some experts are wary of this observed faster-than-light phenomenon. In response, Iratitato said that he welcomed the skepticism from the outside world, and that it was precisely because he and his colleagues could not find any explanation that they published the results and wanted to seek help from their peers in the global scientific community.

If the phenomenon of faster-than-light does exist, it will inevitably require new theoretical explanations. Some researchers speculate that there may be other unknown dimensions in space, as predicted by string theory, and that these neutrinos are "shortcuts" in other dimensions and "run" faster than light.
