Chapter 13: Distorted Logic

The letter was sent at 8:50 a.m. In other words, the letter should be returned by 11:50.

Shangguan Mian was still in the basement to see if there would be a letter to be delivered, Midnight and Bai Yu came to the second floor, she opened the letter and looked at it, however, when she saw the last few lines of the letter, her hand couldn't help but tremble slightly.

The letter reads like this.

"Lyon:

I'm sorry, I forgot that girl's name. She did, though, seem to be scared of her father.

It feels like a dream when I think about it now.

At that time, after we finally let her open our hearts to us, we took her to play all over Kongming Mountain. The mountain is very close to the sea, so we also went to the beach several times. The kid finally let out a hearty laugh.

However, when it comes to her father, she is still silent, refusing to say anything, and her eyes still show a hint of fear.

However, if she didn't mention it, she still seemed lively, and she was no longer just a person reading fairy tale books.

That kid doesn't know how he's doing now? It's always hard for me to forget the look in her eyes.

I remember the day when the three of us were playing on the beach, and she built the castle out of sand. The kid's hands-on ability is very strong, and soon a sandcastle will be ready. Then she said to us, 'In the future, the prince and princess will marry and live in this beautiful castle.' Just like your brothers and sisters. ’

Then I said, 'You lovely little girl will be able to live in such a castle in the future.' ’

But her answer at the time was very surprising.

'I can't be as lucky as a princess.' Even if the princess is captured by the demon, there can still be a prince to save her, but I am different, no one saves me from the demon's side. ’

At that time, we all sensed the abnormality. Then you asked her, 'Who is the devil?' Who is the demon that has caught you? ’

I was just asking, 'Is it your father?' The demon you are talking about, isn't he? ’

Then, she seemed to hesitate for a moment and nodded slightly.

He's a demon, I hate him so much, but there's no way to escape him. ’

In retrospect, that man, indeed, was a demon, as she had claimed.

And that was the beginning of our tragedy.

I remember that when I got home that day, my father suddenly said to me, "I can't marry you."

At that time, everything seemed like a bolt from the blue to me.

Everything was caused by that demon.

If I had eloped with you then, I probably wouldn't be locked up in this basement now.

I really want to see you, really, I really want to see you.

Leon, you want to see me too, don't you?

Can I come to you? Good no good?

Please write back to me.

Love you for your unfortunate deeds."

After reading the letter, Midnight squeezed his temples a few times, while Bai Yu was dumbfounded.

"W-what does this mean?" Bai Yu pointed to the last few paragraphs and said nervously, "What do you mean by 'let me come to see you'?" Could it be, could it be, that she was going to come out? ”

This is something that no one expected.

Originally, I thought that I needed to forge a reply, because the ghost didn't write a reply in time, or there was an accident when the reply was delivered to the other side, but now there is such a situation!

What happens if you send this letter over there, and then the reply is "Okay, come here"?

"The apartment really doesn't play cards according to common sense." Midnight clenched the letter tightly, raised his head, and said, "No way, this letter can't be delivered." ”

"I don't understand," Bai Yu kept scratching his scalp and asked, "Since you can leave the basement and go to the Crown Pavilion, why do you keep entrenching in it to write letters?" It's like you're locked in a basement. Initially I thought it was the limitation of the apartment, but at the moment it seems that this is not the case. ”

"The apartment was deliberate." Midnight said, "It's forcing us to forge a reply." The restriction imposed by the apartment should be that they should only be able to communicate with each other and only leave the basement after they have established communication and reacted to the content of the letter. On the contrary, if there is no correspondence, you will only stay in the basement. ”

"It's really strange," Bai Yu also felt that the logic was too far-fetched: "You can leave the basement obviously, but you don't gather together, why is that?" It's okay if the apartment imposes restrictions, but if there are no restrictions, that's weird. ”

However, Midnight said calmly: "It's not strange at all. Being able to leave the basement, I had expected it a long time ago. ”

Midnight's answer was beyond Bai Yu's expectations.

"Nothing strange." Midnight analyzed: "If we can't leave the basement, then as long as we don't enter the basement, this blood word can easily pass?" Anyway, as long as the letter is delivered on time, it's fine. It is clear that the letter is necessary to trigger the two ghosts to leave the basement. Due to the constraints of the apartment, I still have to write to the other party all the time, and then I will leave the basement because of the content of the letter. This twisted logic itself is imposed on it by the apartment. Even if it seems unreasonable to the average person, as long as the difficulty of the blood character is balanced, it is no problem. ”

Distorted, chaotic logic, a very ordinary, natural thing for an apartment. Just like when the blood character was first executed in the middle of the night, Xia Yuan was regarded as a "thing", but the ghost disguised as an umbrella on the midnight bus was regarded as a "passenger". Chaotic logic, which is originally an obvious feature of the apartment's blood letters.

Midnight has long been strange.

That is, this letter must be withheld and then forged a reply.

Walking to the window and looking at Li Yin in the opposite window, she took out her mobile phone and dialed the phone. After all, at a distance of seven meters, it is still not convenient to talk, and it is too loud for fear of being heard by the ghost in the basement.

She took the letter and said to Li Yin, "Li Yin, listen to me. I'll read the letter with you. I have to tell you...... This letter cannot be sent and must be withheld. ”

"What?" When Li Yin heard this, countless speculations arose in his mind for a while, and before he could speak, he told him the reason in the middle of the night.

"The female ghost in the basement wrote in the letter that she wanted to leave the basement and come to the Crown Pavilion."

"You...... Are you serious? ”

"Yes. We can all predict what will happen after we leave the basement, and this is clearly the situation in which the apartment forced us to forge a reply. ”

Li Yin did have some surprises. He didn't think he could believe it, these ghosts wouldn't leave the basement.

The next midnight read the letter. Some of the content mentioned in it made Li Yin understand a little. It turned out that the title "demon" was first mentioned by the girl.

However, the priority now is to forge a reply.

"Midnight," Li Yin thought for a moment and said, "You're right. It is true that your letter must not be delivered under any circumstances, otherwise the female ghost would not have entered the basement of the Imperial Palace, and the male ghost here might have come up. ”

"Li Yin, besides, now you also need to forge another reply. That's the reply that needs to be sent to the male ghost in the basement of the Crown Pavilion. Since I can't send this true letter, then you need to forge a reply letter and give it to the ghost in the basement of the Crown Pavilion. Li Yin, since this is the case, let's do it according to the results of our previous discussion. ”

"That's what I mean. In the middle of the night, when forging a reply, you must be cautious...... Definitely, to survive! ”

"I know. I'm going to survive. In any case, it is crucial to forge a reply. You have to be cautious, Li Yin. ”

Although judging from the letters, the two of them seem to be very normal human lovers, but how can the apartment make a kind ghost in the blood letters! It's a glaring trap. Once you leave the basement, you are afraid that you will immediately kill the occupants!

Li Yin raised his wrist and looked at his watch, and asked, "Tell me first, when is the specific time when this letter was sent?" ”

"8:50 a.m."

"Okay. It's 9:05. There's plenty of time. ”

However, time was very tight for Li Yin, because he had to send the reply into the basement before 9:35!

"I won't tell you, I'll hang up first." Li Yin hung up the phone.

Next, the residents of the two museums began to think about how to forge a reply.

This is the first time that a reply has to be faked, and the residents are in a very nervous mood at the moment.

As a result, both sides began to discuss forged replies.

At the Moon Shadow Pavilion, Midnight read the letter again.

The reply must be "You can't come to see me." However, in this way, new troubles will arise.

That is, will the female ghost write back and say, "Why didn't you let me come?" Don't you love me anymore? ”

If this causes the resentment of the female ghost to rise, it will also lead to an increase in unstable factors.

Moreover, if a fake reply is sent, the situation will be more troublesome. Because the next communication will be unsmooth due to the addition of fake replies, if it doesn't go well, both sides may need to write fake replies all the time.

However, when he was in the apartment, Midnight had already discussed countermeasures with Li Yin.

For now, it's better to think about forging a letter that won't cause much contradiction in the correspondence. First of all, have a sound, persuasive reason for "why didn't you come", and at the same time keep the topic away from this and write a letter that doesn't need to contain too much intelligence. If the content mentioned in the fake reply appears in the following letter, the reply will have to be falsified.

In short, once you need to forge a reply, the problems will become endless.

Next, we started to discuss how to forge a reply.

"First of all, I want to think about how to make up a reason that can be justified if I didn't get lucky."

Of the three residents, Shangguan slept in the basement to see if any letters were delivered, while on the second floor, Midnight and Bai Yu discussed how to forge the reply.

Sitting on the floor on the second floor in the middle of the night, she began to think about how to make up a perfect reason. This is a matter of life and death for everyone, so both of them are very cautious. It can be seen from the letter that these two people complained to each other, looking like you and me, not marrying, not marrying, but refusing each other's visits, no matter how you think about it, it is difficult to say.

If the reason is not used properly, it may only provoke the female ghost to want to come over. So, what kind of reasons are more suitable?

"I want to sort out my mood and don't want to see you for a while"?

"I want my parents to agree to our marriage and see you again after that"?

"Fortunately, bear with me for a while, we can meet sooner or later. If the two love for a long time, how can they be in the morning and twilight? ”

None of the midnight feelings can be justified. This is not a third-rate romance drama at eight o'clock, and this inexplicable reason is no different from nonsense. The vast majority of lovers in this world are impossible to accept the statement "If the two love is long, how can it be in the morning and twilight"!

Midnight was also thinking about it at the same time. She was thinking, with the mentality of a female surname, to think of a more appropriate reason.

Suppose that her love with Li Yin was opposed by her parents, and when she wanted to meet Li Yin, what reason did Li Yin give, she would definitely not go to see him?

What is the reason?

What is the most appropriate, the most appropriate, the most natural?

This was the first problem that the apartment gave them.

Midnight bit the pen, looked at the letter in front of him, and couldn't put pen to paper for a long time. And Bai Yu beside him was also meditating.

"Damn, I, I can't think of it," Bai Yu asked Midnight eagerly: "Miss Ying, have you figured it out?" I don't know what to do. ”

Frankly speaking, some reasons like "let's not meet until our parents agree" are not out of the question, but no one dares to write easily if they are not absolutely sure that the female ghost will not let her come up. You can't leave the annex, in this state, once the ghost comes out, it's definitely dead!

And time waits for no one! If the time comes, if the reply is not sent, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Is there no way?

"Or ......" Bai Yu said: "Just write first, let's not meet at the moment, wait patiently, if we meet but only for a short time, I will lose my courage......"

This kind of common lines from romance novels, is it useful for this female ghost?

"No," Midnight shook his head, "there must be a better way." ”

And in the Crown Pavilion, Li Yin was also a little worried about the midnight side.

Feng Yuxian was in the basement at the moment to see if there was a letter to be delivered, while he and Murong Mirage were discussing on the second floor.

It was not difficult for Li Yin to forge a reply. First of all, to answer, I don't remember the girl's name anymore. Then, you can use this reply letter and no longer touch on the topic of that demon.

But Li Yin had some hesitation at the moment.

The father and daughter were likely to be given a hint of the apartment's livelihood, and if the topic of "demons" continues in the forged letter, they may be able to get further hints from the apartment. However, if we continue to communicate on this topic, there is no guarantee that the other party will not find out that the reply is a forgery due to a lack of information.

And Li Yin must think about it next, should the forged letter divert this topic, or continue to correspond on the point of 'demon'?

It's a hard choice to make!

And the time is 9:35 minutes, and it is getting closer and closer......
