Chapter 22: Literary and Artistic Youth Save You

Discussions are ongoing. In the empty stone room, a circle of candles was lit by An Yi, and the candles were shining, and all the beautiful symbols related to light were crackling and burning in a warm yellow halo. However, it did not change the oppressive atmosphere at all.

Luo Sheng sat on the ground on his knees, watching An Yi keep circling around the stone room, like a fly around his eyes, Luo Sheng looked annoyed, he knew that this person was addicted to smoking, especially when he was thinking about it so highly. So he looked at the timeβ€”5 o'clock sharpβ€”and the monk who was peeling the orange did not appear, and said, "Let's go up and say, it's stuffy." ”

This sentence worked very well, like an electric toy suddenly running out of power, An Yi immediately stopped walking, stood still and looked at the two empty futons, and said, "What about the six-handed monk?" ”

"It's estimated at 7 o'clock, and we'll come down and see it then."

An Yi nodded, turned on the flashlight, prepared the gun, and went up with Luo Sheng.

Back on the ground, An Yi immediately lit a cigarette, took a deep breath, nicotine rejuvenated his brain cells, he tilted the back of his neck, did a chest expansion exercise, and listened to a "click", and his bones loosened.

"-Cool! And then say, as you just said, on the night of July 10th, yes, the two of us were in the research institute and had a shootout with that Wang Ba calf. But there's a question I want to ask you. An Yi's voice sank, "If, according to your inference, you are Rasheng 1 now, and that black shadow is Rasheng 2, and the series of whereabouts of Rasheng 2 and our coincidental encounter completely match all the behaviors of Rasheng 1 in the past few days, then the current situation shows that Rasheng 2 exists and is alive." In that case, who is the one who shot and killed Luo Sheng 1 on the roof on July 9th? ”

"That's the crux of the problem, and it's the loophole I'm looking for," Rason explained. Therefore, first of all, we must figure out how Rasheng 2 came about, otherwise, it is possible to loop indefinitely if it goes on like this. ”

"You mean, there will be more Rasheng popping up?" An Yi grabbed the back of his head, and finally understood a little where Luo Sheng's pain in the first place came from.

Luo Sheng took another deep breath and nodded, "I think so." ”

An Yi scratched the back of his head and said, "There is another thing that I think is strange, why is it July 1st corresponding to July 9th?" Why not a different date? Is there something wrong with these two days? ”

As soon as An Yi reminded him, Luo Sheng suddenly remembered that on July 1, when he walked through Cheng Yin's office, he really felt that something was wrong. He searched his mind quickly for the details of that day, but he just couldn't remember what was wrong.

"Is there something wrong, I'm sure ......" Luo Sheng repeated the sentence, and the images of the past in his mind were searched at a rate of one frame per second.

For a long time, he still didn't expect it. But apparently, he did have a weird feeling when he walked into that room with a mess of paper that day. Unspeakable. It was also difficult to explain, so at that time it was impossible to pinpoint the anomaly of a particular thing.

What exactly?

"Leave it alone, it's useless to think about it now. Let me ask you, when did you first meet the monks when you first came here? An Yi said solemnly.

Luo Sheng thought for a moment and said, "11 o'clock in the morning." ”

"And what time did you get here?"

"It's past 3 a.m."

At this time, Luo Sheng seemed to understand the meaning of An Yi's question, and then asked, "Do you still want to ask me, from more than 3 o'clock to more than 11 o'clock, where have I been?" ”

An Yi nodded solemnly: "That's right, I think, since you are being chased and run, it is better to go directly to him, didn't you say that Luo Sheng2's whereabouts are the same as you were before, then he was shot just now, and it just happened to match the injury on your arm, we just need to know where you went after you were shot that day." ”

Luo Sheng's eyes widened: "What? You mean, let's go to Rasheng 2? ”

An Yi snorted, then grabbed Luo Sheng's backpack and was about to walk outside the temple, Luo Sheng grabbed him and said, "Wait a minute, wait a minute...... An Yi, calm down, for you, this matter is at best to find someone, but for me, it's not trivial, do you understand? Find yourself yourself, what the is the concept-"

"What's so extraordinary, aren't you also looking for someone?" As he spoke, An Yi was going out again.

Luo Sheng grabbed An Yi's arm again and pulled it violently, An Yi was almost stumbled and fell, and he immediately said angrily: "What are you afraid of, even if he is another you, he is also a fake." When I saw him and asked him which of his mother's wombs had popped out, he couldn't tell him and killed him. ”

"What if you make it clear?" Luo Sheng stared at An Yi, and before An Yi could take a breath and answer, he continued: "What if you make it clear? What if I'm a fake? Who do you kill? ”

"! You're so annoying! An Yi shook off Luo Sheng's hand, spitted a mouthful of spit to the ground, and took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it.

After thinking about it, he pointed at Luo Sheng and said, "What are you afraid of?" It's all happening, you have to accept whatever he answers, you made a bet with me on the existence of God, I didn't believe it at first, but then, I was a atheist and all twisted by you.

Good! It doesn't matter if there is a god or not, but I know that now there is a grandson who has nothing to do and shoots us, and I have to find that grandson to settle accounts. Also, along the way, watching you look for this and that, if you don't think about it carefully, aren't you repeating the mistakes of the past? In the face of abnormal events, you look in such a direction that you will never find the reason.

Just like the police handling a case, some clues left by a killer at the scene are sometimes likely to be false, in order to induce the police to follow his train of thought to investigate the case, and at this time, you can only think backwards. Do you remember when I told you that there was a beautiful painting that made people die, do you know why?

When the painting first appeared on the Internet, there was a story attached to it, saying that the woman in the painting was the love of a certain painter, because the painter was a changer, once after painting a portrait of a woman, the painter killed the woman, and that portrait was not the last of this woman, the painter went crazy after killing the woman, he was in a state of madness, through imagination and memory, he painted a portrait of a woman sitting in front of a door out of thin air, and then he looked at this portrait, he burned all the other paintings, Only that one was left, staring at it every day, and the madness became more and more serious, and finally hanged himself.

After the painter's death, the painting and the body of the woman killed by the painter were found in the painter's room, but the body was unrecognizable, but the clothes were the same as on the portrait. Therefore, people speculate that the dead woman is the woman in the portrait. Legend began to rise that the painter felt guilty for killing someone, so he looked at the portrait all day long, causing him to finally not be able to forgive himself.

Another theory is that the portrait was overturned by the ghost of the woman, so the painter went mad and died when he saw the ghost. With the current folk customs, the more terrifying and bizarre things are, the more people believe them, lest there be no ghosts. So the second theory became more and more true, so much so that when the painting was put on the Internet, there was a saying that if you just stared at it, you would commit suicide.

However, we turn the question back to square one, who can prove that the woman who was killed is the same person as the woman in the portrait? That's the severity of psychological suggestion. ”

After speaking, An Yi's third cigarette was also finished, he took a long breath and patted Luo Sheng, who had been silent, "Brother, no matter whether this world is true or not, no matter what the reason, when we meet each other, it is fate, and friendship is true, I don't doubt it." I am willing to accompany you to face this impermanent world, what else do you dare not dare? ”

Luo Sheng's nose was sour, and he scolded: "! You are a policeman, don't learn from literary youth. ”

After speaking, he grabbed his backpack and walked outside the temple with An Yi.
