Replace the evil way

In the evening, the sky became gloomy, and soon after, it began to rain lightly.Cheng Zesheng trekked on the mountain road in the rain, asking the villagers along the way, and finally found the abandoned mansion along the muddy road.

It stands in the midst of misty rain in the mountains, the walls are gray, the yard is paved with bluestone paths, and the door locks are stained with rust. After pushing it open, the scene in the mansion is the same as in the dream.

Cheng Zesheng's black hair was already drenched, and he looked like a soaked rat. He searched the mansion, but unfortunately, he didn't find any useful clues. No one visited the place for a long time, and only his muddy footprints were on the floor.

"What danger!"

"What danger!"

He called in the mansion, and even went to the glass of the balcony, hoping to see that familiar figure.Similarly, there is no miracle, he can't see He Wei, and he can't find where he is.

Is there really no way to contact He Wei?

Back at the apartment, Cheng Zesheng stood in the corridor, staring at the large white wall next to him.Although the apartment in the dream had the same layout as his apartment, the location of the balcony was different. The balcony of 403 is on the east side, while the balcony of the apartment in Mengli is facing south, and you can directly see the gate of the community downstairs. This is a design only available for side apartment types.

Looking at the house numbers of the entire corridor, Cheng Zesheng suddenly realized: there used to be an apartment here, it was 404.

4 on the 404th floor does not sound like an auspicious number, but it existed before, so now it really becomes NotFound404.

How can he find He Wei?

Stephen's smart and beautiful appearance flashed in his mind, and Cheng Zesheng stroked his chin, and came up with a bold idea.

That night, Cheng Zesheng bought a batch of handmade beads on the Internet, studied for a long time after arriving, and helped Stephen make a necklace to wear.Stephen obediently fiddled with his father. The necklace was the right size, but it was covered by the long scarf on his chest. Only when his body was moving, the flowers and small colored beads could be revealed.

"Stephen, it's all up to you." Cheng Zesheng patted its head, "If you can find him, you will have another father in the future."

Stephen tilted his head, a pair of blue almond eyes blinked and blinked, his eyes were extremely innocent.Cheng Zesheng led it to the door, opened the door, and walked out by himself. Stephen followed at his feet and stepped out of the house together.

Cheng Zesheng knew that Stephen was following him. When he stepped into the safety stairs and turned his head, Stephen had disappeared.

Cheng Zesheng yelled twice to make sure that Stephen was not in the corridor, and he felt a little uneasy, but he couldn't think of any good ideas other than this risky way.

In the dead of night, there was only one dim light in the corridor, and Stephen found that his father had disappeared, and he was the only cat in the corridor.It looked around and found the door of 403. Its two front paws began to pick up, and at the same time it made a call that was a little harder than usual, echoing in the corridor one after another.

After barking for a few minutes, Stephen's big fluffy tail hung down, and he began to pick on the door of 405 opposite.The docile puppet cat naturally likes to stick with people. The corridor was empty and dark and silent. Stephen shook his ears and his cry became deeper and more mournful.

He Wei woke up from his dream, he heard not only cat meowing but also the rustling of the door, as if Stephen was calling him to open the door.

"Meow meow--"

The meowing sound was weakened by the double door panels, but it was real. It was not clear if it was Stephen downstairs, but there was indeed a cat.

He Wei got up from the bed in a jiffy, before he could put on his shoes, he went downstairs to open the door.

As soon as the door opened, Stephen sat on the ground, his tail flicked and his head tilted to stare at him.He Wei was pleasantly surprised, picked it up, and looked outside the door: "Why are you here?"

After seeing the acquaintance, Stephen's cry immediately returned to gentle and lingering, and his claws climbed towards He Wei's shoulder.He Wei patted its head, walked around with the cat in his arms, and confirmed that the neighbors were all sleeping soundly at this moment. The cat reappeared out of thin air after disappearing out of thin air last time.

He Wei carried it home, already completely sleepy, and turned on the light to help Stephen get canned food and cat food.Stephen circled around his feet, and stood up with his front paws leaning against the cabinet. He Wei put the bowl on the ground: "Eat."

Stephen really buried his face in the bowl and ate a big piece. He Wei squatted down to watch it eat with gusto, and he was not sure whether it really came from another world or just an ordinary lost cat.The crack in the wall has always made him unable to let go, plus the appearance of this cat, does it imply that Cheng Zesheng's world will open to him again?

Having experienced too many things, He Wei is cautious about everything.It can't be ruled out that someone secretly hid in the dark, created all this and then observed it secretly, maybe it would be someone of his own.

After eating a small half of the can, Stephen was already full and sat aside to lick his paws.He Wei carried it to sleep, and while stroking the soft long hair, he suddenly felt something round and hard, with one piece at a time. When he pulled it apart, he found that Stephen was wearing a beaded necklace.

This necklace is made of beads, small rectangular cubes, and small plastic flowers, all of which are made of colorful transparent acrylic.He Wei smiled: "I didn't expect your master to be quite ingenious, but the aesthetics are a bit strange."

No wonder He Wei thought so, because the arrangement of these beads, cuboids, and small plastic flowers was irregular. Xun, it seems that that person did it casually.

He Wei didn't pay attention at first, Stephen was lying beside him sleeping, propped up his forehead boredly, counting how many beads, how many small flowers, how many cuboids there were in the necklace. Take it off the neck.

He was reading "White Night Journey" that day, and when he felt tired, he put the book on his chest and closed his eyes for a nap. It was also that day that Cheng Zesheng kissed him for the first time.

He Wei has watched all of "White Night Journey", whether it is the original work, the movie version, the TV series version, or the flop versions of various countries, and he has not missed a single one.In the adapted version of the film and television drama, Tang Zeyusui and Kirihara Ryoji do not meet each other. Their communication is to use beads to form Morse code in the childhood library, conveying Xuesui's greedy and dark desires.

He Wei took out a pen and paper, held a necklace in his hand, and recorded the arrangement of colored beads and cuboids. The small flowers should be used as intervals, and there is no need to record them in the column.

IFINDU, CZS

"Crack" The pen in He Wei's hand fell to the floor, his hands trembling slightly while holding the necklace.It was really Cheng Zesheng, and he also raised this cat. Like He Wei, he had no way to find him, so he could only tell He Wei in this way——I was looking for you, and I have always been there.

He Wei's heart was full of turmoil. He still had the chance to meet Cheng Zesheng. The parallel world has not been erased. What about the cycle?Does the cycle still exist?

Stephen let out a soft cry, stretched his limbs, and He Weiding looked at it, got up and changed clothes, and went out with the cat in his arms.

There is a breezy night in early summer, and it is not yet midsummer, so He Wei will not feel stuffy when he goes out in a jacket and trousers.Stephen was placed in the co-pilot, and He Wei stroked its head with a gentle smile: "Thank you, I'm glad I haven't given up yet."

In the middle of the night, Lian Jingyuan was awakened by the ringing of the doorbell, put on some clothes and went to open the door with sleepy eyes.After opening the door, he saw He Wei standing at the door with a cat in his arms.

"Ah Wei, why are you here?"

He Wei lifted Stephen up and handed it to Lian Jingyuan: "Does this cat have familiar eyes?"

Lian Jingyuan looked puzzled, squinted at Stephen, and shook his head: "I don't know."

"It's called Stephen."

Lian Jingyuan recalled what He Wei said last time, with a helpless expression: "Ah Wei, I really have never raised a cat..."

"I know it wasn't raised by you, but by the person I'm looking for." He Wei took out the beaded necklace from his pocket, "This is the signal he left for me."

As a scientific researcher, Lian Jingyuan couldn't understand the connection between this string of necklaces and the code.He felt a headache and pinched his brows: "Ah Wei, what is the purpose of you coming to me in the middle of the night?"

He Wei put the cat down, and Stephen saw the petite snow-white teacup dog, and leaned over curiously. The teacup dog had never seen a creature like a cat before, and immediately grinned, showing a fierce expression, and gave Stephen a paw to move in the nest no.

Seeing that they got along well, He Wei looked at Lian Jingyuan: "Last time you asked me how to prove that I have experienced a cycle, I thought of one thing, if it exists, it proves that this cycle may not be completely cut off, I'm still stuck in it."

"That's why you came to my place?" Lian Jingyuan spread his hands, "I really don't know what things in the house can prove your whimsy, come in and look for it, I also want to open my eyes."

Without further ado, He Wei went directly to the guest room, with Lian Jingyuan following behind: "Here? No one usually lives in this room, and it's full of sundries."

"I don't know either, let's find out first."

Pushing open the door of the guest room, as Lian Jingyuan said, there are sundries piled inside, and no one has lived there for a long time.He Wei searched in the cabinet and desk, and pulled out the cardboard box under the bed. Later, he asked Lian Jingyuan to help and move the bed away.

"Do you suspect that it fell behind the bed? No way, the seam of the bed is so narrow."

He Wei paused and looked up at him: "What did you say?"

Lian Jingyuan was dragging out on the bed, and he was dumbfounded by his question: "I didn't say anything... It means that the bed gap is narrow, so I shouldn't fall behind."

He Wei stood up, folded his arms, with a scrutinizing look in his eyes: "How do you know that what I'm looking for is so big that it won't fall through the crack of this bed? What if it's a letter?"

A trace of remorse flashed in Lian Jingyuan's eyes, and then he covered it up with a smile: "It's just a random guess."

He Wei grabbed his arm suddenly, with a serious and sharp look in his eyes: "Lian Jingyuan, do you know something? Or - you also have the memory of the previous cycle?"

Lian Jingyuan was about to refute, but He Wei said in a low voice: "I almost risked my life to save him, Lian Jingyuan, you must not hinder me in this matter."

Lian Jingyuan pursed his lips, and then he seemed to be defeated by him, and sighed: "I just guessed that you would bet your life, so I don't want you to break the current peaceful life."

As soon as these words came out, He Wei understood that the window paper on both sides had been pierced, and nothing could be hidden anymore.

"Actually, I don't remember what happened before. When you came to me, I thought you were too stressed. Maybe you were sick, but I didn't take it to heart." Lian Jingyuan smiled wryly, "But last week I cleaned up at home. , I found that thing, and suddenly realized that maybe what you said was true, but I also became afraid, afraid that you would be involved again."

He lifted his arm, broke away from He Wei's hand, left the guest room and returned to his own room.He Wei followed behind, watching him open the drawer, took out an object wrapped in cloth, and handed it to He Wei: "Is this what you want?"

He Wei took it, and opened the thin cloth, revealing the black gun, which was a 92/style.

Seeing this gun, He Wei's pupils shrank suddenly, and he was completely sure that the loop hadn't been cut off at all, and the Mobius loop was still in constant motion.This is the gun that Lian Jingyuan didn't let him take back in the last cycle. Now Cheng Zhenqing, the armory, 404...everything has been erased, but this gun is the only one left.

"I heard you said that you cut the loop, I am very happy and fortunate, but after finding this thing, I think the matter may not be over yet." Lian Jingyuan sighed again and patted He Wei on the shoulder, "Sorry, I seem to have done it. Wrong thing, I don’t know if it happened before. In short, this is your fate, and I shouldn’t stop it arbitrarily.”

He Wei looked at the gun, and a picture flashed in his mind, and he suddenly understood what he should do.Rather than saying that Lian Jingyuan has been in the way, it is better to say that some of his "blocking" have played a decisive role in the cycle, such as now.

He Wei put his arms around his shoulders, then put the gun away: "Cat, take care of me first."

"Well, good." Lian Jingyuan agreed, with vague anxiety in his tone, "After the matter is resolved, you must come to pick it up."

He Wei smiled and made a gesture, yes, it will definitely be resolved.

Back in the future domain, He Wei found a spatula in the toolbox at home and stood in front of the white wall.The cracks in the white wall were deeper than the previous few days, and they were already visible to the naked eye. He Wei picked up a shovel and inserted them into the cracks, chiseling them one by one.

Soon, a round hole was dug out, and He Wei took out a flashlight to take a picture. The opposite side of the hole looked like a dark bottomless pit, and there was no brick wall in it.

He Wei's conjecture was verified, and he chiseled even harder. Soon, pieces of wall skin fell off, and the sound of shovel digging the wall echoed in the silent corridor. It was so piercing and strange that no neighbor came out to check.

The cracks are getting bigger and bigger, like spider webs, spreading to the entire wall.He Wei raised the shovel and stabbed it hard again, only to hear a "click", the wall was like a chipped egg shell, completely cracked in front of him.

On the opposite side is the dark world, with strands of dark aura emanating from it, like an endless abyss with its mouth wide open.

He Wei, however, was fearless, threw away the shovel, and stepped in calmly and generously.
