"The villain is in a mountain village outside the city, the family has a house and a field, and life is boundless, my son came to pick up his wife yesterday and took in distant guests to his home, this person killed my son late at night, and chopped my daughter-in-law into eighteen sections, this hatred is as big as the sky!"

After saying this, he heard a startled sound slapping on the table.

"What a daring!"

"At the feet of the Son of Heaven, the city of the first good!"

"It's really lawless that there are such villains, who don't remember staying overnight, and still kill the husband and wife on their wedding night!"

"Do you have any excuse for the accused?"

Fang Xing was still looking left and right with great interest at this time, after all, he had never been to such a place like the county government, and he still felt quite curious when he came here for the first time.

This kind of place doesn't seem to be much different from the appearance of those county offices on the TV series, but it's smaller than I imagined.

[Smack!! ]

"Do you have any excuse for the accused?"

There was another shock, directly drawing Fang Xing's attention back to what was happening now.

Fang Xing could clearly feel that the invisible binding force that he had obviously gotten rid of had now been rewound around him.

Although he was still able to break away easily, Fang Xing was very curious about what this script would do next.

So he directly relaxed his body and let this force take control.

"The villain is really wronged!"

"Last night, the villain used a little wine, and slept directly all night, and he only had a one-sided relationship with the groom official, so why talk about killing him!"

"As soon as I got out of the room in the morning, I saw that the staff instructed the people under the door to tie me up with ropes, and even said that there is no physical evidence until now, and the villain is indeed wronged!"

Although this was not said by Fang Xing himself, there was some truth in what he said.

If two people were killed last night, but no tools were found today, it really has nothing to do with me, a passer-by who only stayed for a few minutes.

The county magistrate above then turned his head to ask the clerk.

"What physical evidence did you find?"

The clerk shook his head.

"Since there is no physical evidence, the words of one family alone are not enough to judge, and we will wait for this official to find out the truth and retry it."

"Take the accused into custody for the time being!"

As the verdict was decided, Fang Xing suddenly felt a sense of relief on his body.

The invisible restraining force just now disappeared again at this moment.

And the surrounding catchers are also ready to come forward at this time, first catch Fang Xingxing and squat in the prison for a few days.

If a normal person has experienced so many things, the first reaction is to run quickly!

The body has been restrained, and the mouth is saying so many words that are completely out of tune, and now he has to be dragged down to prison.

Now that the body is free from the shackles of this strange power, it is natural to run as far as it can.

But Fang Xing didn't plan to run at this time, and he didn't even bother to move.

For he could clearly see that the trappers around him had pressed their hands on the hilt of the knife.

If you want to run at this time, you will be besieged by many fast catchers at the first time.

Coincidentally, when these catchers stepped forward, they seemed to be looking out with their eyes, and their pace was very slow, and they even vacated a road leading directly to the outside of the county office.

It feels like if if you run out as hard as you can now, you're going to be able to get out of this place.

A few catches seemed to be getting slower and slower, but it was just a process of capturing Fang Xing, walking from the wall to Fang Xing's body, and walking for more than a minute.

But the distance is actually only a dozen meters.

Not to mention more than a minute, it doesn't even take ten seconds to go a little faster.

When he pressed his hand on Fang Xing's body, his face was suddenly full of hatred, and his eyes were also full of anger when he looked at Fang Xing.

seem

It was Fang Xing's move just now, and I don't know how it angered them.

"Was it a surprise that I didn't run?"

"Do you feel like you're making a mistake?"

Fang Xing smiled and said to these headhunters:

"It seems like this hasn't been missed in a long time, right?"

At this time, the expressions of several fast catchers suddenly became very normal.

It's just that Fang Xing could clearly feel that their hands on his body suddenly became harder than before.

This time, there's no more that sudden jump cutscene. c

Fang Xing was sent into the cell by them step by step, and was directly pushed into the prison.

At this time.

The expressions of these people suddenly became richer.

The moment Fang Xing was sent to prison, several catchers sighed at the same time.

After glancing at each other, several catchers didn't speak, but just looked at Fang Xing in unison.

"After I came here, the rest of the story should have nothing to do with me, right?"

"And what role are you going to play next?"

"I'm curious now if it's just an ordinary crime-solving story or a somewhat fantastical story."

Hearing Fang Xing say this, the faces of several fast catchers also became very strange.

They looked at each other for a long time with their frowns.

Finally, one of the catchers spoke:

"Who are you?"

"What the hell do you know?"

Fang Xing directly turned his gaze to the catcher who was speaking, and instead asked him directly.

"Do you have a name?"

The speaker was silent for a moment and shook his head.

Fang Xing thought for a moment and said to this catcher:

"So, let's ask three questions each."

"You've already asked me two questions just now, and I'll answer you these two questions."

"I'm an outsider, I know what's going on here, and I've met someone who has left you, how about that answer?"

Catcher nodded quickly, as if he understood what Fang Xing was trying to express.

Fang Xing went on to say:

"Then you're going to die when you go out later?"

"Yes."

"Are there ghosts in this world?"

"Yes."

"Then I probably know everything I want to know, and now I owe you one last question, what do you want to ask?"

The catcher was silent for a long time again, and several other catchers also looked at him.

After a half silence, the catcher finally spoke:

"Can you make us die completely?"

Hearing this question, Fang Xing's expression was also a little silent.

"Yes!"

"But I can also keep you free."

Hearing Fang Xing's two words, the other catchers couldn't help but show a strange smile.

This smile looks like it, but there is no malice in it.

It's just that it seems like I haven't laughed for a long time, and it's a rare laugh.

"It's good to die, don't let us live anymore, the so-called freedom is just a bigger cage for us."

"You only get one chance."

After saying that, several arresters quickly left the prison directly.

Fang Xing originally wanted to continue to ask more questions, but it was obvious that none of them planned to continue to say anything more.

However, the last sentence they said caught Fang Xing's attention.

There is only one chance.

What does it mean to have only one chance?

Is it a chance to let yourself escape or a chance to save them?

Having said that, I really don't know what the world is like.

And what exactly is the sustenance of this world? I still don't understand it.

It seems that if you want to save the people trapped inside, you can't do it in a while.

"Book World, ......"

"Difficult ......"

In fact, Fang Xing learned about Wang Jie's situation at the beginning, and guessed that Wang Jie may have met a book world that had not been recorded.

The book world is actually the world in which the book is written.

The whole world's people, things, wind and rain changes, the cycle of the four seasons, birth, old age, sickness and death, and chance creation have all been determined.

For example, the newlyweds died last night.

Then in this world of books, every time they open it, both of them have to die once.

And every time they die, it brings them the same pain.

This kind of suffering is inevitable, and it is something they cannot avoid every time they go through this reincarnation.

Even if there are no ashes left even if they are already dead, when the book world opens again, the two of them will start repeating the previous actions, and then wait in their own homes to be killed again.

The scariest thing is that they all make memories.

And everyone in the book world is like that.

If it is a recorded farmer, then the farmer's daily job is to weed and cultivate the land, and this is the case for ten years, a hundred years, and a thousand years.

He would fetch the same amount of water each time, carry the same bucket, walk in the same number of steps, walk up to a weed that would never be removed, and dig the weed out of the ground with an action that he doesn't know how many times he had repeated.

Then use the bucket next to you to add another bucket of water to this piece of land that can never be watered.

This is the life of people in the book world.

Repeat, repeat, repeat.

It will always be the yesterday that has been known and the tomorrow that has been known.

Of course, with the development of the book industry, not everyone in it will repeat this action forever.

Sometimes the farmer has done enough, and he will change the trajectory of his life with the children next to him.

Then he will live as a child for a day.

In the future, he may also be replaced by a Xiucai and read a book in the grass hall for a day. Or, like today's catchers, they are exercising their own responsibilities.

If you really can't do it, you will become a county master, sitting high in the hall and giving orders.

But this repetition of days is always repeated.

Farmers have the repeated life of farmers, children have the repeated life of small children, and there is a repeated life of catching fast and catching fast. Even if you become an immortal in the book world, you have to save a mortal on time and at a fixed time.

There is only one power.

It is possible to break this near-permanent infinite cycle.

Outsiders.

That is, those outsiders who entered the book world because of some accident.

Their existence is like a virus in a system program for the book world.

Every move of these outsiders may completely disrupt the normal operation of the entire book world.

However, it is precisely because of the appearance of outsiders that all the people living in the book world understand that the original world is not just like this.

The first batch of outsiders to enter the book world, the book industry actually didn't have much reaction to them.

After all, there are too many "people" alive in the book world, even if there is a person who disrupts the normal order of life, as long as this person leaves, the book world will reopen again, and everything will return to the same state.

In other words, it is this outsider who turns the whole world upside down, and it does not prevent everything from reviving when it is reopened.

But there is a good saying.

The avenue is forty-nine, and the sky is one of them.

If people in the book world want to completely get rid of the control of the book world, they can also use the power of these outsiders.

The easiest way to do this is to replace it with yourself.

Like what

said Li Hui, that is, the classmate who Wang Jie disappeared.

It was clearly replaced by the original bridegroom's officer.

Now the bridegroom did not know what he was doing, but it was clear that he was not thin now, and he was in the agony of being killed every day.

Now in his place is Li Hui.

And Wang Jie himself is even more special.

The people in the book world did not replace Wang Jie, but possessed him, and with the help of the principle that when the book world is closed, outsiders will be expelled together, and they directly fled from this book world.

But there was no good end for him to flee like this.

He himself is using other people's bodies, and without the power of the book world, he is a special ghost in the book to replenish energy, and it is only a matter of time before he dissolves in this world.

So Fang Xing said at the time that what he did was the only way not to harm human beings.

As for why several of Wang Jie's classmates also came back, it was entirely because the characters who were replaced could not be too many at one time.

If all the hundreds of people who came in at one time were replaced, the book industry itself could not bear it.

I don't know how many of the people in the entire book world have been replaced, and how many are the aborigines here.

And Fang Xing came to this world not only to save these ordinary people who were inexplicably pulled in to replace their lives, but also to find a way to solve the problem of this book world.

The book world doesn't exist in a vacuum.

His essence is not simply a book, or a picture scroll.

Different book circles even have different sustenances, and this sustenance is the ontology of the entire book.

For example, in the book world produced by a fairy tale, the sustenance of the entire book world may be the jade pendant used by the protagonist when he sets foot on the cultivation of immortals.

If it is a book world of martial arts stories, the sustenance of this world may be a knife used in the hands of the protagonist.

Of course, the body of the secretary may also be a book or even a piece of clothing.

The most important thing is that the sustenance must be the point at which you must not jump past in this story.

As long as this point remains, the book world will never disappear.

And once this point is obtained by an outsider, all the control of the book world will naturally fall into the hands of this outsider.

It's just that people inside the book world have gained this point, and it doesn't have any effect.
