Chapter 279: Death of Destiny
January 2, the seventh day after the dream began.
APEC's Safe House for Two is a two-bedroom apartment located on the 20th floor, facing north-south. There are windows on the north side, but there is no tall building more than 15 floors in view; To the south, in the direction of the city center, there are many high-rise buildings, but the apartments only face this side with thick concrete walls.
According to the "circuit breaker", the apartment basically eliminates the possibility of being sniped.
"But wouldn't this floor be too high? In case of an attack, there is nowhere for everyone to run. Winter Day suddenly asked.
Xia Ye glanced at her sister in some surprise, Dong Tian didn't seem to be a person who would care about such things, but she was not sure if Dong Tian had asked this question at that time, so many years had passed, and she couldn't remember every detail.
The "circuit breaker" showed a "good question" expression: "In the event of an attack, you can retreat from your bedroom to the apartment on the 19th floor." β
As she spoke, she opened the wardrobe in front of the summer and winter nights, clasped the gap left at the edge of the floor, and lifted it upwards with all her might, revealing a hole that was only large enough for one person to pass through, and the staircase at the edge of the hole.
"Our people are in the apartment downstairs, and when you go down, they will cover your retreat. Also, the apartment on the 21st floor is also ours. She pointed to the top of her head, "There are also sensors on the outer wall to the north, so if the other party wants to raid by rappelling, we can receive early warning."
"All in all, all security measures have been taken as well as possible under the existing conditions. It is true that there are safer means for the company, but those are prepared for higher-level events, and we are not authorized to use ......"
Probably to reassure the two, the "circuit breaker" was introduced in detail, but Summer Night's attention was not here, and she finally remembered - in the past, she asked how to evacuate, but now, the person who asked this question has become Winter Day.
Can this be seen as a change?
She wasn't sure, judging from the experiment a few days ago, some details in the dream could indeed change, such as the sentences of the dialogue, but as long as the slightly more critical nodes, such as choosing A or choosing B, it was like being nailed, and it couldn't be changed at all.
So, is it a key change from "asking your own questions to cause the other party to answer" to "asking questions in the winter day to cause the other party to answer"?
She suddenly sensed something, just above, faintly, as if separated by countless layers of diaphragms. Walking to the balcony on a summer night, I looked up and saw that the winter sky was clear and clear, with only a few clouds in the clear blue sky.
There is no huge head that I thought I had, and there is no thread that connects it.
Of course it can't be, this is the year 2085, it's the earth, there are no witches, no witch contracts, and no witch kings.
But the summer night was still a little unwilling, and chanted in a low voice:
βMβR-H-ts-z-Vβ
This is the witch text of "Thunder Feather", the voice dissipates in the air, but the crimson feathers made of lightning do not appear beside her.
A voice suddenly came from behind him: "That contract is not needed here, sister." β
Summer Night jerked back to find Winter Day standing a few paces away.
"City Lord?" She blurted out.
But my sister was just stunned: "Huh? β
The natural expression of surprise was definitely not pretended, the two had been together since childhood, and it was easy to tell the difference on a summer night.
But she confirmed again: "Were you talking to me just now?" β
Dongday's expression became more and more puzzled: "No, brother, what's wrong?" β
"Nothing... Maybe I haven't slept well for the past few days, and I'm having auditory hallucinations. Summer Night said half-jokingly.
It wasn't an auditory hallucination, she was pretty sure.
It seems that something is finally wrong in this dream, which is a good thing, if everything is normal, then I will only end up witnessing the death of my sister again.
What would happen if the outcome of death could really be changed by itself? When you return to Debussota, the lord of the city will automatically become winter day? Never died, and both the character and the memory are exactly the same as the past?
- Obviously this is just a guess without any basis, but Summer Night's heartbeat involuntarily accelerated.
Maybe that's what it means to enter this memory?
The power of the brain is so amazing, maybe it can really change the past?
Take 10,000 steps back and say, whether the guess is correct or not, you should at least give it a try, what if it succeeds?
She pulled out her phone and glanced at the screen, it was 11:05, and she remembered that the attack happened at noon, but unfortunately the exact time was not clear......
But fortunately, I still remember the process of the attack, and as long as I analyze the situation at the time, I can do something to deal with it......
ββ¦β¦ Hey?! β
"What's wrong, brother?"
Xia Ye didn't reply, she was suddenly shocked to find that she couldn't remember the whole process of the attack, she clearly remembered that she remembered, unforgettable, and would never forget, but now that she thought about it carefully, she found that ...... The only thing I remember clearly is the scene where I hugged my dead sister.
I don't know what went wrong, but there is no time to investigate, and now, she can only use this little remaining clue to do something, and the background of that scene-
It is this apartment, as for the specific location...... Summer Night glanced around quickly, and immediately saw that it was a place between the living room and the doorway.
If you leave here now, will you be able to change history?
"Circuit breaker, I want to go out with my sister." She said suddenly.
"Out of the house?" Circuit Breaker looked at her in surprise, "For the sake of your safety, I don't recommend this, if you have something that needs to be dealt with by the company, you might as well tell me, and I will find a way to solve it online or by other means." β
Summer Night wasn't going to go to the company, she just wanted to get out of here, but she wasn't going to waste time making up reasons either:
"We don't go to the company." "It's just a simple desire to get out, and if we insist, will you stop us?" she said. β
The circuit breaker was not angry, and said businessmanlikely: "Of course not, I am here to protect you, not to put you under house arrest." While I strongly discourage you from doing this, if you insist, I will now inform someone to arrange a vehicle. β
"Does it take a long time to arrange a vehicle?"
"Within three minutes."
"Then as soon as possible, as soon as we are ready, we will go out immediately." Summer Night said.
The circuit breaker gave her a strange look, but in the end he didn't ask anything, took out his phone and started talking.
Things went smoothly unexpectedly, Xia Ye originally thought that the other party would use various reasons to prevent him and Dong Tian from leaving the safe house, but he didn't expect it to be so simple and agreed.
Just as she breathed a sigh of relief, Dongday's voice suddenly came from behind her again:
"It's useless, sister......"
Summer Night jerked back.
The other party was looking at her with calm eyes, and for a while, she couldn't tell whether it was her sister or the city lord.
Almost at the same time, there was a rhythmic knock at the door, which was the password that the circuit breaker had agreed with the other colleagues. The breaker walked over and did not rush to open the door:
"Who?"
"Distribution box."
The circuit breaker glanced at his mobile phone, and the footage from the surveillance camera showed that it was indeed the distribution box standing at the door, but according to the arrangement, he should be in the apartment on the 19th floor at this time.
"What's the matter?" The circuit breaker continued to ask.
Instead of answering, the distribution box placed a piece of paper in front of the camera, on which it was written that the current task of immediately suspending the "air switch" would be taken over by the "distribution box". Underneath the command, there is a familiar autograph.
Circuit breakers have encountered similar situations in the past, and there are many reasons why companies urgently transfer field operators from the middle of the mission, it may be that the operators are suspected and need to be reviewed; There may also be an urgent assignment that requires the temporary redeployment of operators.
It doesn't matter what the reason is, what matters is the signatureβthe details implicit in the strokes indicate that it is not a forgery, and that the one who really likes to give instructions by hand.
Since the top management is going to be replaced, of course she has no reason to refuse to cooperate.
"What's wrong?"
Noticing movement behind her, Summer Night's attention was temporarily taken away from Winter Day, and when she turned around, she saw that the circuit breaker was about to open the door.
"Normal personnel rotation, don't worry." The other party said.
"Oh......"
Summer Night was stunned for a second, and suddenly, an almost intuitive speculation appeared in her brain, like a cold needle, piercing her spine.
"Don't open the door!!" She shouted.
It was too late, and the door that was strong enough to withstand the fire of the anti-materiel rifle was opened by a small crack by the circuit breaker, and the next moment, the gunshots roared, and the woman's body flew upside down into the living room from the doorway like a broken sack.
The door was kicked open, and the "distribution box" armed with a large-caliber capacitive pistol strode in, followed by a heavily armed soldier.
Their guns were being pointed at the two men.
Summer Night turned sharply and pounced on Winter Day, less than two meters from the glass door between the balcony and the living room, and that glass was also bulletproof!
Gunshots rang out almost simultaneously, passing through the living room and past the summer night. Suddenly, she felt that her right shoulder was pushed by a huge force, and with this force, she rolled to the balcony with Dongtian in her arms, and before she had time to get up, she stretched out her leg and hooked quickly on the door frame, and the glass door slid and blocked in front of her. Gunshots rang out, leaving snowflake-like cracks in the bulletproof glass.
It was only at this moment that Summer Night felt a sharp pain coming from his right shoulder, and a bullet had just passed through it.
But she didn't care about her injuries, and turned her head to look at Dongyang first, her sister's eyes were glazed, as if she had been scared stupid - but in the next second, she denied her idea.
She saw her sister's lips open and close slightly, and a long string of syllables flowed from it:
βS-r-b-D-lc-R-r-M-tβββ -S-m-D-s-f-m-L-r-f-s-D-r-β
The last time I heard the same witch text on a summer night was in Victoria's mouth, and Victoria only had a witch contract:
"Prayer"
Winter Day suddenly disappeared from her eyes, and when she reappeared, she was in the middle of the living room, and the girl was running so fast that it seemed to be teleporting.
Immediately after, a jumble of gunfire and screams rang out in the living room.
