Odd Containment Specialist

[Master Sizhu, I have been waiting for your return. That must be your plan. I will wait patiently. I don't know if my actions will disrupt your plan, so I will stay put for now and wait for your orders at any time. ]

"Sizhu..."

Xia Shou felt that this title was very familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere before.

"Sizhu..."

Xia Shou repeated these two words on the tip of his tongue, and his eyes slowly widened.

He remembered that on the day he just entered the Heavenly Choir, the missionary who was responsible for welcoming them greeted him for the first time, using the title of Sizhu, but the other party quickly said that he had made a mistake.

At that time, his mind was all on the strange phenomenon of the choir. He didn't even think that the title of Sizhu was a job title, because it could also be a homophonic name.

And the series of abilities that the missionary showed to Su Weiyu Tongziqie later completely attracted his attention. He never thought about the inner meaning of the title of Sizhu again. After all, these two words had nothing to do with him.

But now it's different. Someone in the Sea of ​​Origin has sent a letter to him!

No matter how stupid Xia Shou is, he will realize that the person called by the department head is not him, but one of his predecessors. It may be the one with the same name as him, or it may be someone else. In short, it can't be him.

Could it be that the person who came to the door mentioned in the Death Recording Notes is this person?

In addition, how does the Death Recording Notes know that someone will come to the door? How does it know that someone has noticed it? Can he learn about the outside world in other ways in the notes?

Or... this is a prediction based on experience, and he has deduced this conclusion in some way.

Xia Shou felt very uneasy. He immediately left the Sea of ​​Origin and wanted to wake up.

But he didn't wake up, because the Sea of ​​Origin itself is in a sleeping state. Normal people can't wake up in dreams at will. When he opened his eyes again, he was woken up by the alarm clock at the bedside.

Xia Shou sat up straight, and Alice combed his messy hair with her bare hands and said good morning gently.

Xia Shou sat on the bed for a moment, then immediately stepped down the escalator, came to the table and opened the dead record notebook.

"I saw a letter in the sea yesterday, and the person who delivered the letter called me Sizhu..."

Xia Shou quickly repeated everything he saw in his dream last night to the notebook.

But this time, the notebook did not immediately show handwriting.

"Can't you hear it?" Xia Shou picked up the pen and wanted to write on the paper.

At this time, the text appeared, but there were only two words: [Wait...]

Wait?

Why wait?

Originally, Xia Shou was not particularly anxious, but when he saw the notebook saying this, he began to be anxious.

Xia Shou patiently stared at the blank paper, and when his eyes were sore and swollen, the light black ink seeped out of the paper, and the strokes formed a line of words: [Just pretend you didn't see it. ]

Xia Shou laughed angrily.

"You've been holding it in for a long time and you're just saying this? I ask you who Sizhu is!"

[I]

"You?"

[That's right. 】

"Then why..."

Xia Shou almost said why someone in the Heaven Choir mistook him for him.

He subconsciously believed the answer of the note, thinking that since the people in the Heaven Choir knew the note who was once the head of the Heaven Choir, it meant that the note also knew about the Heaven Choir.

But at the moment when the question was about to come out, another possibility in his heart began to clamor for Xia Shou not to ignore it.

So, Xia Shou closed the words he was about to ask and asked instead: "Then why did this person mistake me for you?"

[Only ordinary people use appearance, behavior, and speech habits to judge whether a person is that person. The more extraordinary, the more special the way of judgment. You inherited the shadow and the house of Merlin, and Alice followed you. It is not surprising that she was mistaken for me. 】

Are the shadow and the house of Merlin so easy to see through?

Alice certainly cannot be used as a feature for identification, because he cannot bring Alice with him when he enters the Heaven Choir, so the missionary mistook him for the head of the Heaven Choir, and it is absolutely impossible because of Alice.

But if the shadow and the House of Merlin are identification marks, then the missionary was aware of his ability?

Then why did the other party say that he had made a mistake later?

Strange, really strange, is the note lying?

But it seems that there is indeed no better explanation.

Xia Shou did not think that he would look very similar to the predecessor with the same name, because Shangguan Yan was very likely to know the predecessor with the same name. If he looked very similar to the predecessor with the same name, then when he met her at the door of the museum on the first day, she would not have shown the expression of looking at a stranger, at least she would be a little surprised.

"Are you kidding me?" Xia Shou narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at the words in the note with questioning.

[I can't make you believe me, but I have to tell you the solution. It is not known whether the person who wrote to you now is an enemy or a friend. Although the letter says Li Tianhe, he is not necessarily Li Tianhe, and there is no such person as Li Tianhe.

But you have to act like me and not like me, understand? 】

"Like you and not like you? What does that mean?"

[Leave the other party with the impression that I did not enter the notebook, I am you, and now you are playing an ordinary person who knows nothing, is weak, has no power and memory in my identity. 】

Xia Shou read this paragraph over and over again, but he became more and more confused.

"You mean... I just need to be myself now, so that person will regard my current image as a fictional character you played, right?" Xia Shou tapped his chest, trying to understand the intention of the note.

[That's right!!! As long as you suppress your strong curiosity, your acting will be perfect enough, because you are not me, so there can be no flaws, but if you continue to maintain that kind of extremely strong curiosity about me and the previous puzzles, then your acting will be too perfect, which will backfire.

Too perfect acting is imperfect, and actors must never be the original. No matter how realistic the acting is, people have to think it is acting. 】

Xia Shou weighed it in his mind for a moment and nodded: "Okay, I know."

Although Xia Shou felt that this might be an excuse that the note wanted to stop him from investigating his predecessor with the same name, he also felt that the note was seriously warning him.

Before this, except for warning him not to open the doors of Merlin's House, it used such emotional language. At other times, the notes were in an attitude of "I say my words, you listen to yours, believe it or not".

But this time, the notes were very serious, which forced Xia Shou to be serious.

[Remember, don't show your curiosity. There is nothing worth being curious about. You will know it sooner or later. ]

"..."

[If you really don't believe me, then I have a way that may make you believe, but with your personality, it is actually futile. Doing so will bring you huge unknown risks, but you will only gain very suspicious credible evidence. ]

"Very suspicious credible evidence?"

[That evidence will make you think I am credible, but the evidence itself is too suspicious to be accepted...]

The handwriting suddenly became blurred. This time, the reading reached its limit, and the dead record notes didn't even say that method at the end.

Xia Shou frowned and closed the notes. The matte leather cover made people feel uneasy.

He hated this feeling of being like a chess piece on a chessboard.
