Chapter 56: Speculation
The sky is white.
In the living room, no one spoke again.
Qin Manjiang closed his eyes and was not in good spirits.
He barely slept last night, and he didn't have a clue after analyzing it for most of the night.
However, Qin Manjiang is not in a hurry, and the most eager person now is Wang Million.
Wang Million was grabbing his hair at the moment and lying on the sofa.
He had no idea how the damn game was going to go, and if the order of death was really the order in which everyone arrived at the docks, he would be the next person to die.
Although he didn't think there was any truth to this speculation, what if?
As a rich second generation who has had no worries about food and clothing since birth, Wang Million has no major problems, although he does not do good deeds, he can be regarded as law-abiding.
Having a law-abiding son is a jackpot hit for a wealthy family.
Therefore, Wang Million has always had a good life.
Except for the day I was chosen by this broken game.
I also blame myself for being cheap, what connection do you have to point into, what are you doing so curious?
Now it has fallen to the point where he can't even control life and death.
"Damn, I'm still hungry......"
Wang Million clutched his stomach.
Originally, because he was going to come to Butterfly Island, his appetite has not been very good, and last night he saw the chicken soup by the hands of the people, and he lost his appetite even more, and he didn't feel hungry until now, and there was also part of the credit of Chen Yu's corpse.
But he didn't dare to go to the hostel's kitchen to find something to eat, who knows what was in the fridge?
"Hungry, aren't you?"
Suddenly! A woman's voice appeared eerily.
Wang Million was so frightened that he almost bounced off the sofa, turned his head to look, and realized that it was the proprietress .
He was just about to scold, when he heard the proprietress say: "Let you not drink chicken soup, don't eat chicken, and you won't be able to eat other things!" ”
Can't get enough of anything else?
This sentence that obviously tasted wrong caught everyone's attention.
"Boss, why can't you eat enough other things?" Wang Wanwan's attitude towards speaking finally improved.
"Originally!"
The hostess said it as a matter of course.
"Eat something else to taste, and the chicken can be full."
"Isn't it?"
When she looked at Wang Million, her expression was that she felt that there was something wrong with Wang Million.
"Can we go to the kitchen?" Wang Million's words brought everyone with him.
The hostess nodded.
"Yes, come on!"
She led the way towards the kitchen as usual, tying her hair as she went.
But Qin Manjiang suddenly said: "It's dawn, I'll go out for a walk and skip breakfast." ”
After saying that, he didn't wait for a response, turned around and walked towards the gate.
"I'll go too."
You Yu immediately followed Qin Manjiang over.
Liang Yue originally planned to go with her, but when she thought of Qin Manjiang staying upstairs alone for a while just now, she felt a little uneasy in her heart, what if that Qin Manjiang was dropped by a ghost?
After thinking about it for a while, she still followed Wang Million and the proprietress to the kitchen.
————
Out of the hostel, Qin Manjiang glanced back at the swimming fish.
"What do you follow me?"
You Yu also looked at him, and suddenly said, "Just now, I wanted to understand one thing. ”
Qin Manjiang retracted his gaze and walked forward on his own.
There are not many people on the streets in the morning, but everyone seems to be up in bed.
"What's the matter?"
Qin Manjiang asked.
"This painting."
As he spoke, Yu Yu opened his painting book.
Qin Manjiang stopped and looked at the painting again.
In the painting, his expression is hideous, and a butterfly is flying out of his mouth with his head tilted wide open.
"Don't you wonder why you're the only one in the key information?" Yuyu asked.
Qin Manjiang nodded: "So what?" ”
"What you said before made me understand."
Swim Fish said.
The words have already been said about this, where can Qin Manjiang not understand?
If what the fish said is true, and the painting is hinting at a key message, then the reason why he appears on the key information instead of someone else can only be that he is different from other players and just bumps into a key message.
And there is only one sentence in those words that have been said before......
"I don't dream."
Qin Manjiang looked at the swimming fish and repeated.
Yu Yu nodded coldly: "If what you say is true." ”
"That's the only difference between you and us."
So, this key message that is hidden is a dream?
Because Qin Manjiang is different from other players, he can't dream, so he has become the key information?
In other words, the real reason for Chen Yu's death is indeed related to dreams, and it is related to Wang Million, the only one who had a strange dream.
The swimming fish detected it faster than Qin Manjiang.
After all, in Qin Manjiang's subconscious, he didn't feel that there was anything wrong with not being able to dream.
Wait a minute......
Qin Manjiang suddenly thought of something.
Butterfly Island?
Before going to the island, I checked some relevant information, although there are almost no reports, but there are still some about the shape and size of the island, and the shape of this island does not look like a butterfly at all.
And although there are a lot of flowers, there is not a single butterfly.
Butterfly......
Butterfly......
The thing that Zhuang Zhou dreamed of was a butterfly.
Even Zhuang Zhou's dream butterfly itself can be used as a metaphor for a wonderful dream.
"Could it be a ghost's dream here?" Qin Manjiang said suddenly.
His sudden thought stunned Yuyu.
But when she thought carefully about the strangeness of this place and the strangeness of the town, she felt that there was some truth.
Even......
The way they entered the town, and how they entered the island, was also reached by boat, through heavy fog.
The fog is thick to light, and the scenery is full of shadows, like a dream.
"In ...... In a ghost's dream? ”
She whispered.
Qin Manjiang spread out his palms, and a few traces of mist in the early morning slipped through his fingers.
"I've been wondering why there is no time limit for this game," he said, looking at the mist slipping away from his palm, "If we've been in ghost dreams, there's really no time limit." ”
Yuyu nodded, right......
It's even possible that when they woke up, they all fell asleep by the dock, and the time had only passed a minute.
Qin Manjiang is right, it is very strange that the strange game does not set a time limit, even if it is an ultimate game such as Ping An Hospital, there will be a clear time limit.
From this direction, it seems that Qin Manjiang's speculation can be more certain-
Time means nothing to Butterfly Island.
So, there is no time limit.
"However, in this painting, if the symbol of the butterfly is a dream, the dream flies out of your mouth, which is a hint that you can't dream," You Yu said a lot when he was alone with Qin Manjiang, and his thoughts were very clear, "But according to your speculation, this is a ghost dream, and you are already in a dream, which is contrary to the original intention of the painting." ”
"No," Qin Manjiang looked at her, "I don't dream, it doesn't mean that I won't be pulled into other dreams." ”
"Think about the opening remarks carefully." Qin Manjiang prompted.
Swimming fish held the picture book and thought about it......
Like foam, it shatters when touched. Flowers, when they bloom, are lovely. The snow is pitiful before it hits the ground. I'm going to remember what it looks like. Every single one.
"Foam, flowers, snow, three beautiful but fleeting things."
"'I' have to remember these things, each one."
"'I' don't have to remember people, it's 'these', so ......"
Qin Manjiang turned around slightly, facing the entire town wrapped in fog: "Everything in the fog is its dream. ”
