Chapter 4 The Hypothesis of Multiple Pathways

This time, except for Li Yin and Midnight, the other four residents were all implementing the blood character instructions for the first time. And what Li Yin wants to carry out is the seventh blood word instruction, and midnight is the fifth blood word instruction, and the other four people naturally know that the difficulty is definitely not the difficulty of the first blood word.

However, Shangguan Mian and Murong Mirage naturally didn't say anything, and even Feng Yuxian didn't react. Feng Yuxian was also one of the five new resident representatives who came to the meeting last time, and he was a 32-year-old uncle-level man. Of course, although he is said to be an uncle, he is also a beautiful uncle, and after shaving his beard, he looks very handsome, but compared with Huangfu Gully, it is far from it.

The first thing to do, of course, is to investigate. The ghost of the blood word this time is likely to be the two young men and women who were martyred at the beginning, Ren Leon and Zeng Weixing. In this case, it is particularly important to investigate the situation of these two people before their deaths.

However, it was almost impossible to find out where the people who lived in the Moon Shadow Pavilion and the Crown Pavilion at that time were now. Although the incident was quite sensational at the time, it had been so long since the two families moved out of there, and they didn't know where they were now. And because of the long time gap, many news stories are difficult to find out in detail. The content of some reporters adding fuel and vinegar is not to be believed.

On April 14, at Li Yin's house, all the households who needed to implement the blood character were present to analyze the details of the situation.

"This time, the blood letter ......" Li Yin sent a copy of the news materials he found to everyone, saying, "I can roughly determine the identity of the ghost." According to the regulations, the residents of the odd-numbered rooms in the apartment go to the Moon Shadow Pavilion, and those with even numbers go to the Lunar Shadow Pavilion. ”

This time, the ones who went to the Moon Shadow Pavilion were Midnight (Room 403), Shangguan Mian (Room 709), and Bai Yu (1501), and the ones who went to the Yuemian Pavilion were Murong Mirage (1804), Feng Yuxian (402), and Li Yin (404).

Feng Yuxian and Li Yin are neighbors, but this man's surname is also more introverted, although he usually meets a few times, but he only has a few pleasantries. I don't know what he's thinking.

And this time, for the blood character, the most excited person is naturally Murong Mirage. Shangguan Mian was still the same as before, looking very cold and expressionless.

As for the new tenant Bai Yu, he is also a resident with strong psychological quality. Bai Yu was a somewhat delicate young man, and he looked like he was seventeen or eighteen years old, and he also calmly listened to Li Yin's analysis.

"The current investigation can't find out the reason why the two families are against each other. This is likely to be an important breakthrough, and I'm doing my best to investigate. And this time the blood word itself ......"

To be honest, Bai Yu, who is a newcomer, was relieved to see the content of the blood letter. It's just a matter of sending a letter, and as long as the letter is delivered, isn't that all right?

"It can't be that simple." Midnight suddenly spoke: "In the blood letter, it is mentioned that residents are allowed to open it privately, and even tamper with the letters, which shows that it ...... At that time, there will definitely be a situation where we need to open and tamper with the letters. Moreover, it seems that tampering with the letter will be fine as long as it can hide from the ghost. However, the point is that the letter written by the ghost must be sent and replied...... You know what that means, right? ”

"It means ......" Feng Yuxian suddenly spoke: "As long as the ghost starts to write letters, there will be a chain that cannot be stopped, and there must be a reply...... In other words, every letter must be replied to, even the reply itself, again within three hours. Therefore, send the letter endlessly until the blood is over. ”

"Yes." Li Yin said: "The point is that the communication must not be interrupted within three hours. That is, as long as one party starts writing, the chain will continue and will not terminate until the time for the execution of the blood letter is over. And at this time there was a problem...... What if the ghost doesn't write a reply, or if it doesn't write a reply on time? ”

This is one of the most serious problems. There is no mention of the blood letter, and the ghost will definitely write a reply on time.

At that point, it will be time to forge a reply.

"The reply must be forged, which means that the letter sent must be opened and examined. It is also necessary to be able to imitate the handwriting inside, although I don't think it will be difficult to imitate the handwriting, otherwise the apartment will not allow this. And once the reply is forged, the reply written by the ghost will also be false. Thereupon...... This time, the reply needs to be forged again. ”

Speaking of which, the atmosphere suddenly became solemn.

"In other words......" Bai Yu said with a pale face, "You want to keep writing fake replies to the two ghosts?" But, but ......"

"Yes. What should I do if I make a mistake in the letter? Or what if the ghost wants us to say something that only the couple knows? Once a letter is found to be a forgery, the consequences are dire. In other words, the point is how to forge a letter that will not be found to be false. ”

When you think about it, that's pretty much the case. If there is a need to forge a reply, then the ghost who received the fake reply continues to write a reply, and the content may contain false content, which can be easily recognized. It takes people from both sides to keep writing fake replies to the ghosts. But if this continues to develop, sooner or later there will be a possibility of goofs. When the time comes, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Unless, the two ghosts keep writing replies to each other on time until the end of the blood. But is it possible that it will go so well?

"But, but ......" Bai Yu suddenly became anxious: "Twenty years ago, how to check the matter of lovers?" And if it's something that only those two people know......"

"Yes." Li Yin said with a gloomy face: "It will evolve into the worst situation." The most important thing is how to successfully forge a letter that will not be discovered. This is the 'way of life'. ”

As soon as there is a problem with the content of the forged reply, it will be deadlocked.

"That'...... Keep the fake content as short as possible. Bai Yu said, "There are still ......"

"There's one more point." Li Yin said: "Those two died twenty years ago, and their souls have been entrenched there. I've checked, and for twenty years those two houses have been ownerless, and it's true...... There are rumors of haunting. In this case, it is important to be careful that the content of the reply should not be too new. If there is a word that is clearly used by people twenty years later, it is tantamount to suicide. It's important to remember this. ”

"Just because it's short doesn't mean there's no problem." Midnight added: "It's easy to goof if the content is too short. ”

"Huh." Suddenly, Murong Mirage spoke: "It is worth noting that there is no mention in the blood letter instructions, the ghost is just writing a letter, and will definitely not leave the basement, right?" What if it is written and written? That's the problem. ”

"That's nature, too." Li Yin did not ignore this: "So we must pay attention to this issue. ”

The most terrifying thing is that in case you need to reply to the letter, the ghost asks a question that only the two of you know, such as do you remember what happened when we first met? Lovers are always very fond of asking these kinds of questions, and if this is the case, who will be able to find out? But if you give the reply to another ghost to write, if the letter mentions the contents of the fake letter sent before, it will also be over.

So to speak. This time, the difficulty is extremely high.

Moreover, the separation of the two pavilions is obviously to disperse the danger. It is very likely that when one of the ghosts is wreaking havoc, it will not affect the residents of the other building.

"Anyway, it's just a matter of investigating the situation of those two as much as possible......

Zeng Weixing, Ren Leon, all the things of these two people, even the eighteenth generation of the ancestors, must be carefully investigated.

Murong Mirage looked at Li Yin's expression at this moment and thought: Shenyu, what will you do? This time, he will definitely attack Li Yin and Yingziye, right? What would you do?

Murong Mir and Shen Yu had an agreement that he would help Shen Yu monitor Li Yin's actions in the apartment, and at the same time, Shen Yu would give him a foreseen painting. But for Murong Mirage, it was also interesting to experience the feeling of fighting ghosts between life and death.

And this time, she will definitely find a way to put Li Yin in a desperate situation. Utilization, a certain household.

Which tenant will she use? Feng Yuxian? Or White Feather?

As for the "sleeping beauty" Shangguan Mian, I am afraid that Shenyu will not be easily provoked. After all, she was the terrifying killer who even killed the "Golden-Eyed Demon".

The meeting was discussed for more than three hours, and everyone was talking dryly, and then the meeting was dismissed.

When Shangguan Mian walked out of the room, Li Yin looked at her back and felt a palpitation. The girl who looked cute on the outside gave him an inexplicable pressure. It was as if she could kill herself in an instant.

And Feng Yuxian walked to room 402 next to Li Yin, and when he took out the key to open the door, Li Yin walked over and said, "Mr. Feng, if you feel scared or frightened, you can come to me at any time." The saddest thing for the residents is the fear of this hurdle. I know very well ......"

"Nope. Don't get me wrong, Mr. Li Yin. ”

"What?"

"I'm very happy to be able to enter this apartment." Feng Yuxian suddenly looked directly at Li Yin and said, "I mean it. Because of the existence of this apartment, it gives me new hope. ”

Li Yin suddenly felt that his brain was not enough.

Murong Mirage, Huangfu Yan, and now it's this Feng Yuxian again! Could it be that psychopathic occupants were deliberately chosen to enter the apartment? How can a normal person feel happy when he enters this apartment?

"This apartment makes me feel that there is still hope." When Feng Yuxian said this, he had already opened the door, and then said, "Then, see you then." ”

After he closed the door, Li Yin, who was one of the first two large, returned to the room, where he stayed at midnight.

Li Yin was stunned for a moment and said, "You...... Still here? ”

"Hmm." Midnight nodded and said, "This is my fifth blood letter instruction, and after it is completed, I will be able to return directly to the apartment in the future." ”

"yes. That's true. ”

"But, Li Yin. There's a catch. She suddenly said, "Since Silver Feather once took advantage of this and brought the ghost into the apartment, can the residents themselves be brought back together?" In other words, when the time indicated by the blood letter is up, can you take me back to the apartment with you? ”

Since ghosts can be brought back, I'm afraid the residents themselves can. At present, it seems that as long as you come into contact with each other, you will be able to bring them back to the apartment. In the past, because it was too rare to carry out the blood word instructions to the fifth time or more, and Xia Yuan's time was killed before the blood word began, and Li Yin entered the mirror world that time, so no resident had a chance to try it......

Can residents who perform the 6th to 10th blood letters bring the other residents back to the apartment with them?

If so, can it be as long as it is in contact with the residents?

"Indeed, that's a problem." Li Yin nodded and said, "However, other residents will also consider this issue." Is it possible to reach me back to the apartment together. Is there a limit to taking the tenant back to the apartment? Or, does the apartment itself allow this? ”

At this point, there was suddenly silence again.

"Li Yin." Midnight spoke again.

"Don't you think the apartment was intentional?"

"Deliberately? You're talking about ......"

"After Silver Feather, it was determined that bringing the ghost into the apartment would allow the ghost to be sucked into that black hole. That is, it is not that the ghost cannot enter the apartment, but that it cannot exist in the apartment. Occupants can use this to destroy ghosts. And after knowing this, this time there were two ghosts in the blood word, and they ...... Li Yin: You're still confined to one of the pavilions. Isn't the apartment deliberately doing so because the occupants are aware of this? ”

"You...... What do you want to say? ”

"Did the apartment deliberately let us find out about this, or was it ...... We accidentally found out, so we adjusted the difficulty of the blood letter? ”

No one knows this. Because no one can question the apartment.

"Midnight, the question is...... The last time Silver Feather brought a ghost into the apartment, it was the life of the blood word. Since such a way of life is arranged, the apartment is deliberately let the residents know......"

"It's okay to think that way. However, Li Yin, I always feel that from the perspective of the apartment, I don't want the residents to find out about this. So, can you think of it that way? ”

"What? What do you want to say? Midnight? ”

"The way of life indicated by the blood letter ......"

"Is there really only one answer?"

This is a question that few residents have been thinking about for a long time. Many people think that blood letters, like geometric proof questions, have only one way to solve them.

But is that really the case? Will the apartment arrange multiple ways to survive in order to balance some extremely difficult blood characters? If this is the case, then if we only think about a single way out, will we fall into a dead end of thinking?

"Midnight...... You say, a possible surname with multiple ways of life? ”

"It's just my guess." Midnight took out a piece of paper and said, "Actually, I carefully analyzed the previous blood word instructions, and gradually found ...... There are some blood characters, and there are several other possible ways to survive. It's just that I can't verify it. In fact, many of the blood words we found were extremely obscure, and they could not be found without extremely superb wisdom. And because I began to wonder if there was actually a more obvious hint that there would be a way out of life that could be discovered. And we, will we think too much about the problem? ”

"What do you say...... It also makes sense. But after all, it's just a hypothesis. In reality, we don't have so many opportunities to try them one by one, whether these ways of life are true or not. In fact, these vague blood words suggest that we can't conclude whether they are right or not when we draw conclusions. ”

"That's right. Here's the problem, Li Yin. We can't tell if the blood word is correct or not, so we can only verify it first. But failure to verify is often a recipe for disaster. We don't have anyone who can predict the future. So, isn't it very likely that the apartment has arranged several blood-lettered ways to survive with less risk and easier to try? ”

Other words......

In fact, there is a way out that even if you verify it, it doesn't require too much risk. And that kind of "way of life" is the real way of life!

This assumption was uttered through the mouth of midnight, but Li Yin was deeply shocked.

In fact, even if you want to figure out the way out, there are some situations where the verification process requires a lot of risk. In the process, there is a possibility of sacrifice for the occupants. But if there is a way out of life with very little risk, it is completely different.

That minimizes the number of households sacrificed!

"Is it possible to be so ideal? To this apartment, we are just ants struggling to survive, 'things', not people! Li Yin didn't know why, but always had a strong sense of frustration.

If Midnight's words are true, doesn't it mean that although he has lived to the present, he is still completely toyed with by the apartment? And in the future, it is also possible that he will continue to be played with like this.

If only the mysterious man could be found......

Although Silver Night and Silver Feather may have formed an alliance with that mysterious person, Li Yin also took care of some residents to monitor Silver Night's movements, but no changes have been found so far.

That mystery man and the fragment of the Hell Pact are great hopes. But this hope turned into a stone in the sea, leaving Li Yin at a loss.

And Silver Night and Silver Feather have more information than Li Yin.

The two of them already knew the form of the mysterious man's prophecy, that is, the "Prophetic Painting". The "Prophetic Painting" can predict future phenomena that will occur at the location indicated by the blood letter, and can be used to determine the path of birth.

And the oil painting further reminds the silver night of deep rain.

However, it is still uncertain. Because of the deep rain, not a single painting was left. Nothing can be determined by oil painting alone. And to what extent can the other party's prophecy go? Will anyone be tempted by prophecy to kill them in the future?

What worries Silver Night the most is ...... Li Yin's hand held the spare keys to all the residents' rooms.

If Li Yin and that mysterious person reached an agreement to kill himself and Yinyu, the consequences would be unimaginable. However, there is no way to change the door lock of the apartment.

For this reason, Silver Night decided to move out of the apartment with Silver Feather and return to her own home. Anyway, it's okay to go back to the apartment every forty-eight hours. And doing so aroused Li Yin's suspicions even more.

The mutual suspicion between Li Yin and Silver Night has become deeper and deeper......
