The unlucky life of a medical student

Zhong Wuchuan nodded approvingly.

Qi Ling gave him a popular science story about the Yellow Emperor killing Chi You.

In that story, the Yellow Emperor used Kui Niu as a drum to block the space, leaving Chi You, who can fly and walk rocks, nowhere to go, so he had no choice but to capture him without a fight and was beheaded by the Yellow Emperor.

What's more, he has only personally experienced Kui Niu's ability to affect space in the past few days.

"If a person is flayed, he can survive without dying, but if a Kui ox is flayed, it will naturally last longer."

Xu Guangcheng said cruel things with a calm to indifferent taste.

"From being skinned to death, there are only a few days in linear time, but Kui Niu does not want to die. It uses its talent to affect space and time to allow itself to exist in the past and the future at the same time. It came to this time and space because it was You and I are attracted by the breath of mountains and seas, and the sanatorium is built just above its yin house. The overlap of space and the fixation of time coordinates..."

"That is to say, in terms of linear time, it died as early as 2000 years ago, and its body was buried in the vat. But it didn't want to die. During the few days when it lost its skin and was waiting to die, it kept Traveling through time and space, allowing oneself to exist simultaneously with the past and back..."

Zhong Wuchuan felt that he had finally scratched the surface of the whole matter.

Xu Guangcheng nodded and said, "It can be understood in this way."

"Then what? Then what happened? Why can Zhong Jiahe also travel through the timeline?"

"this problem--"

Xu Guangcheng didn't answer Zhong Wuchuan immediately.

He walked up to the one-legged man with bandages all over his body and said, "Don't you still want to go back to your own time and face reality?"

The one-legged man said: "Ants can steal their lives, let alone a kui ox?"

After finishing speaking, there was another series of space distortions. When the ripples calmed down, the one-legged man had disappeared.

Zhong Wuchuan was stunned.

He has known for a long time that there is a certain inequality between the creatures in the mountain and sea world and his cognition. He also knows that the strange things that happened in the nursing home these two days are related to space distortion, but he saw with his own eyes...

"Let me show you something more."

Xu Guangcheng led Zhong Wuchuan into a white room.

Zhong Wuchuan was too lazy to ask Xu Guangcheng how he was still in the place where Zhong Jiahe lived before his death one second, and then appeared in a room suspected to be an archive room the next second.

He followed Xu Guangcheng closely, and followed him to a cabinet with Zhong Jiahe's name written on it.

Xu Guangcheng stretched out his hand, and the cabinet opened automatically. Inside was a stack of thick A4 papers, which were full of strange symbols and patterns.

Next to the A4 paper is a mobile phone.

Xu Guangcheng picked up the phone, and after a little manipulation, he handed the phone to Zhong Wuchuan: "Take a look!"

"what is this?"

Zhong Wuchuan glanced at the screen, and saw an ordinary text message asking for leave.

"It is true that Zhong Jiahe did not come to the nursing home to work the night shift yesterday," Zhong Wuchuan said, "Is there something wrong?"

"Pay attention to the time when the text message is sent."

Hearing this, Zhong Wuchuan looked down at the text message and found that the text message was sent not yesterday but the day before yesterday!

"This... how is this possible?! If it is true as you said, Zhong Jiahe sent a text message to Miss Lin the day before yesterday asking for leave, then who was Zhong Jiahe who was on the night shift with us the night before yesterday?"

Having said that, Zhong Wuchuan started talking to himself again.

"No, no! There was indeed a problem with Zhong Jiahe the day before yesterday... The whole nursing home knew that he had quit smoking for a year, why did he suddenly smoke... Sister Shanmi called him, and the call came from the wind blowing the leaves The voice...but when we ran into him in the office later, he said he didn't get the call and that he'd been smoking in the smoking room on the third floor...'

"Because not only was there a spatial disorder that night, but the Zhong Jiahe who appeared in front of you was not the Zhong Jiahe from this timeline. Zhong Jiahe, who was on the same timeline as you who were on the night shift, did not go to the nursing home for the night shift that day. He I have been in the rented house. I opened the door late at night and saw my future self who just killed Wei Shanshan. They had a brief conversation. After the conversation, Zhong Jiahe, who is in the same timeline as you, sat back on the sofa and smoked fidgetily. The future Zhong Jiahe went downstairs and was killed by Kui Niu, which became the end of the frog case!"

Xu Guangcheng patiently explained that although Zhong Wuchuan was incredulous, he couldn't refute it.

After a few minutes of thinking, he said to Xu Guangcheng: "Give me a piece of paper and a pen, I need to sort out my thoughts."

"it is good."

Xu Guangcheng gave Zhong Wuchuan paper and pen.

According to Xu Guangcheng's explanation, Zhong Wuchuan followed the known time axis.

"The afternoon before yesterday, Zhong Jiahe sent Miss Lin a text message asking for leave, saying that he would not be on the night shift;

When the night before yesterday was close to midnight, Zhong Jiahe heard a knock on the door in the rental house, opened the door, and saw himself in the future timeline, after a brief conversation, Zhong Jiahe closed the door and sat on the sofa to smoke;

In the early hours of yesterday, the Zhong family left the rental house in a windbreaker after smoking;

At [-] o'clock last night, Zhong Jiahe's body was found by the landlord next to the trash can. His death looked exactly like the first four victims of the frog case. "

"It's okay to write like this?"

Zhong Wuchuan handed the paper to Xu Guangcheng.

Xu Guangcheng filled in several pieces of information in the blank space of the paper.

"...After the leave request message was sent out the afternoon of the day before yesterday, because Lao Zhong from another timeline appeared in the nursing home before [-] pm, Ms. Lin interpreted Zhong Jiahe's leave request message as the next day, that is, yesterday's night shift Ask for leave!"

"Is there any evidence?" Zhong Wuchuan asked.

Xu Guangcheng took out a mobile phone with a pink mobile phone case from the filing cabinet: "This is the evidence!"

Zhong Wuchuan turned on Ms. Lin's mobile phone: Zhong Jiahe's text message asking for leave was actually sent the day before yesterday!

"Then this can only show that Zhong Jiahe has crossed the timeline, and it cannot prove that he is the murderer of the frog case!"

Zhong Wuchuan looked at Xu Guangcheng suspiciously, hoping that he would give him a more detailed explanation.

"The explanation is right in front of you," Xu Guangcheng said, "take a good look at these written materials!"

Zhong Wuchuan flipped through the files, becoming more and more nervous.

Colleagues in the nursing home said that Zhong Jiahe has been obsessed with the occult and secretly investigating the frog case for the past year, but he did not expect Zhong Jiahe to be taken away by the police for investigation because of the frog case!More than once!

In addition, he also started to study Kui very early!

The relationship between Kui Niu and the Yellow Emperor and Qin Shi Huang... the secret of Qin Shi Huang's mausoleum... the relationship between Kui Niu and occultism... Rubbings of Kui patterns on almost all bronze sacrificial vessels that can be found on the market...

"Zhong Jiahe knew for a long time that there was a yin house under the nursing home, and that the yin house lived in Kui Niu? He even knew that the frog case was related to Kui Niu?"

"Yes, he knows that there is Kui living in the yin house, and he has probably obtained part of Kui's power."

Perhaps because he felt that Zhong Jiahe's ambition was too absurd and arrogant, Xu Guangcheng's tone was once again tinged with disdain.

"Get Kui's power?"

"Let me sort out the chronological order for you.

Zhong Jiahe became obsessed with occultism in the middle of quitting smoking. It happened that a frog case happened at work, and because of some clues at the scene, he was interviewed many times.

Whether these interviews had a negative impact on him has not been verified.But since then, he began to study the frog case and found that the case was related to Kui Niu. He knew that Kui Niu had the ability to affect space and time.

The day before yesterday, you came to the nursing home for the first time to work the night shift. He asked for leave and stayed at home, and opened the door late at night to meet his future self.

In the early hours of yesterday morning, he left home in a windbreaker. Under the influence of Kui Niu's power, he crossed the timeline five times, four of which traveled to a year ago, and killed the first four victims of the frog case. From the results of the research, he believed that the frog The ritual is an occult ritual.Moreover, when he killed, he may not have realized that he traveled back to the past, and he felt that he was an imitator of the frog case.

Traveling through the timeline for the fifth time, Zhong Jiahe came to the future and killed Wei Shanshan at the back door of Yulan restaurant for some reason that needs to be investigated.

When killing Wei Shanshan, he learned from Wei Shanshan that in the linear timeline, he was already dead when killing Wei Shanshan happened!

Knowing that he was dead, Zhong Jiahe lost his composure and left in a hurry without handling Wei Shanshan's body according to the procedure of the frog case.

Then, he traveled through the timeline again, returning to 45 hours before Wei Shanshan was killed, and saw himself at home who was on leave at that time.

After telling his past self about his death, Zhong Jiahe was taken out of the rental house by the power of Kui Niu and became the fifth deceased in the timeline.

Of course, in Zhong Jiahe's own timeline, he was the sixth deceased! "

"It's so complicated, but I can't refute it. The frog case a year ago was done by him a year later. Because he spent a year studying the frog case in detail, he finally became a perverted murderer a year later. ...'cause' and 'effect' are reversed..."

"Ever heard of Beethoven's paradox?"

"What is this?"

"A man who admired Beethoven got a chance to travel through time, so he took all Beethoven's works and took a time machine to visit Beethoven. But when he arrived, he found that the past he came to had no Beethoven the man.

No, I want Beethoven to appear in the world.Thinking this way, this person published all Beethoven's works in the name of Beethoven, so he became the Beethoven of this time and space.

So, here comes the question...

Who wrote the Beethoven pieces he took with him to the past? "

"I don't know." Zhong Jiahe answered honestly.

"You see, this is the so-called circular paradox. A cycle has no beginning and no end. The end is its beginning, and the beginning is its end. Since it is a cycle, don't ask where is the beginning and where is the end!"

"I'm confused by you." Zhong Wuchuan said, "However, there are as many things in the world that cannot be explained by modern science, and this one is not bad! As long as there will be no new frog deaths in the future!"

"That's right..."

"There is another question," Zhong Wuchuan raised his hand, "According to what you said, Zhong Jiahe left home after meeting his future self, and traveled through the timeline to kill... Then, who suggested him to do this? The future Myself, or..."

"Who else? Of course it's me!"

A night owl-like voice sounded, Zhong Wuchuan raised his head and saw an unexpected guy!

The author has something to say:

Movies about the infinite loop of time, as well as "Horror Cruise", "The Former Destination (that is, the live-action version of "You Resurrected Corpses")", "The Night the Comet Came", and the most recent one I watched was "Di The Yatloff Incident", pseudo-documentary style, relatively unpopular time loop movie.

Then, "Source Code", "Edge of Tomorrow", and "Groundhog Day" are the movies that finally broke the endless loop. Those who are interested in time loop movies but don't want to watch the depressed ones can watch them.

The murderer is set to be a person who has traveled through time. One very important reason is modern criminal investigation technology.

Modern criminal investigation technology is better than most of the reasoning and suspense authors. The author thinks that the perfect murder plot is actually full of flaws in the eyes of the criminal investigators. I can only add supernatural elements to explain why. Such a vicious serial murder case in a modern big city has not been able to delineate the suspect for a long time.
