Chapter 171: The Day of Reincarnation (17) In the eighty-first day
Wolf Fang stood behind the bookshelf, observing the position of the escalator from the position above the bookshelf, until he saw Mo Li appear.
He then glanced at the time quickly and nodded slightly—good, the error in the morning had been corrected, and Mo Li appeared at the same time as before.
He made a quick calculation in his mind, and after determining the time he could talk to Mo Li, he walked towards the bookshelf where Mo Li would go to find the books.
Wolf Fang leaned lightly on the side of the bookshelf, using the bookshelf to block the view between him and Mo Li, looking at the dial of the watch and calculating the time, preparing to say that sentence when the second came, reminding Mo to leave the corner behind the left.
He looked at the rotating hands on his watch, and it was accurate to the second it coincided with his memory, and then he turned around and revealed his figure from behind the shelf, and when he looked up, he said the words-
"In the corner behind you."
"Why are you here?"
Wolf Fang looked at Mo Li in front of him and was stunned again, the situation changed again, this was the first time, Mo Li found him here. In the past, when he said this to Mo Li, Mo Li's attention was focused on the bookshelf, and by the time she turned her head, she should have returned to the other side of the bookshelf, and under the blockage of the bookshelf, she successfully took a step to find the book in the corner of the left back, and turned the book to the designated page.
"Your name is Lu Haisheng, right? Who are you? Mo Li's voice made Wolf Fang come back to his senses slightly, and looked at the girl in front of him with a puzzled and guarded face, "What do you mean by what you said in the morning?" How did you end up here? Could it be that you're stalking me!? ”
Wolf Fang frowned and looked at Mo Li, thinking back to the speculation he had made about the reason for this change when he was in the taxi. He carefully recalled what he had done today, every point in time that appeared, every action he made, and every word he said, although he had quickly recalled it before, he still chose to recall and investigate all this more carefully, and only after making sure that he did not have the slightest omission before he focused on Mo Li.
There must have been some kind of change in Mo Li's body, and this change further triggered a change in the situation when he met Mo Li. And he's not sure if the change is good or bad.
Since he found Mo Li, he has been observing and recording all the things that happened in Mo Li's day. The sequence of events in the journey, the time when an event occurred and ended, what she did, what she felt, and what she encountered, he observed all the information he observed, and tried to find something noteworthy in this information, or to conclude some special law.
The wolffang calculates every minute and every second of error caused by his appearance, and calculates even the slightest impact it will cause. The caution in his personality and the experience of wandering alone in an endless room made him have extraordinary patience, doing the same thing in samsara day after day, listening to the same words, expecting to find something but never getting anything. And so it goes, to this day.
Today, for the first time, there is a change. And it is his long-term caution and heart that can make him sure that this change is not because of him, but from Mo Li.
"How did you find out I'm here?" Wolf Fang didn't answer Mo Li's question, but looked at Mo Li and asked his doubts, "I'm pretty sure you can't see me from where you were standing just now, and I also know that you came to this bookshelf to find the book you didn't finish reading before." And when I came out of the bookshelf just now, you were obviously looking at what you were looking at? ”
Wolf Fang stared at Mo Li tightly, and a look of confusion flashed in her eyes. Wolf Fang squinted slightly, and asked, "Or should I ask why you're looking?" ”
The wolf's fang could suppress the voice, and he knew very well that the way he lowered his voice would be oppressive. At this time, he was just a strange stranger to Mo Li, and Mo Li didn't have any trust in him. But he needed Mo Li to tell him the truth, and he had to know what had changed in Mo Li.
Mo Li frowned slightly, his eyes full of suspicion for him. She looked around without a trace, but she didn't know that her every move was being watched by the wolf fangs. Wolf Fang waited patiently for her to finish, knowing that she was anticipating the possibility of danger, and he knew that her surroundings would make her relax a little. Seeing that Mo Li's face gradually showed a relaxed expression, Wolf Fang quietly waited for her to answer her question.
Probably because she felt that there were so many people around, Wolf Fang didn't dare to do anything to her here, so Mo Li's voice was a little more confident, "You tell me first what you mean before and why you are here." You have not answered my question, so why should I ask you to answer it? ”
Wolf Fang looked at Mo Li and squinted slightly, glanced down at the time on his watch, and sighed slightly. He had already wasted too much time in the confrontation with Mo Li, and he was about to exceed the maximum error that could exist.
From the thirty-fourth day to the eighty-first day now, the length of time he had met Mo Li before had been precisely limited by him to the margin of error. Because only in this way can he ensure that Mo Li can rely on speeding up the completion of some things, so that the time of the subsequent events can coincide with the previous time, without affecting her next action.
Just like now, he had to leave Mo Li's side within five minutes, so that Mo Li could return to the original trajectory of "reading books". The error caused by his conversation with Mo Li will affect Mo Li's decision to speed up his reading when he reads next. With this kind of self-correction, when Mo Li leaves here, it will coincide with the time when she left in the past. And when Mo Li leaves, if he doesn't intervene again to affect Mo Li's behavior, then Mo Li will follow the previous time trajectory, go to the movies, eat with his parents, go to the night market, and then go home.
In other words, as long as Wolf Fang has a good grasp of the time of error, he can always grasp what is going to happen.
And that's crucial.
Because only in this way can he ensure that his actions will not pose a danger to Mo Li or himself that does not exist. Only in this way can he analyze, peel off, and find out the key to escaping this room little by little.
He didn't answer Mo Li's words, just turned around in silence and walked quickly to the corner. After all, he had already done it dozens of times, and even with his eyes closed, he could accurately get the book Mo Li was looking for from the shelf. He quickly flipped the book to the designated page number, and raised his hand to shove it into Mo Li, who was chasing him.
Without waiting for Mo to leave his mouth to ask, Wolf Fang preemptively said, "After reading it, follow your original plan to do what you were supposed to do." Do that, and you'll get the answers you want. ”
After the wolf tooth finished speaking, he didn't give Mo Li the slightest chance to ask, and strode towards the direction of the exit. With the reflection of the floor tiles, the wolf fang was sure that Mo Li was not chasing, so he was a little relieved.
After making sure that Mo Li couldn't see him anymore, Wolf Fang circled around and approached the place where Mo Li was reading with her friends under the cover of bookshelves and crowds. After making sure that Mo Li listened to his words and began to read the book again, he knew that everything was going according to his plan. Only then did he take a book as a cover, but in fact, he continued to pay attention to Mo Li's situation.
Until Mo Li finished reading the whole book and was about to leave the book city with his friends, the time had coincided with the previous trajectory, and the error had been recovered. At the same time, the wolf fangs, who had been secretly staring at her, also determined one thing.
He was confident in his ability to hide his whereabouts, and knew full well that he had made no mistake when he secretly hid behind a bookshelf today. Normally, it would be impossible for Mo Li to find him hiding behind the bookshelf. And there are only two reasons he can think of other than discovering him.
First, Mo Li suddenly possessed an ability that was aimed at himself and could sense his existence.
Second, Mo Li's sudden induction, or intuition, is aimed at the place of the bookshelf, or—against what has happened in the past.
He hoped it was the latter.
And what happened after that proved that the real reason was as he hoped.
He secretly observed Mo Li for a long time, but Mo Li didn't notice his existence, which shows that what Mo Li noticed was not him, but the same thing that happened every day in the past.
After Mo Li and her friends left for lunch, Wolf Tooth then left, and according to his previous daily schedule, he went directly to the cinema to wait for the rabbit. On the way, he bought a few breads and a few bottles of water, and this was his only meal today.
When buying a ticket at the ticket window, Wolf Fang hesitated slightly, and did not choose the position next to Mo Li as before, but chose the position behind her.
After buying the ticket, Wolf Fang walked to a corner next to the theater and waited patiently for Mo Li's arrival. It's a small corner in the shade with cleaning utensils and some miscellaneous items. Wolf Fang leaned against the wall, quietly staring at the intersection in front of the theater, checking the time from time to time, waiting for Mo Li's arrival. If you don't look closely, it's hard to spot a person standing in the shadows.
As he had planned, the time when Mo Li appeared was exactly the same time as before, and it had not changed. He watched Mo Li buy a ticket and walk into the cinema, then he got up from the wall he was leaning against and walked towards the cinema.
Wolf Fang walked down the long staircase of the theater, and the sound of the soles of his shoes colliding with the stairs rang out and down, very clearly. After getting a little closer, he realized that Mo Li had been looking at the position around him as if he was waiting for something—where he used to be.
