Survival Paradox [Infinite]

Wei Chi's heart was also covered by it.

He leaned against the head of the bed, covered his heart and thought for a while, thinking of some bad situations, and felt some despair in his heart, but he soon regained consciousness.

Can't give up, never give up.

He sat up, shook his head, and began to rethink—

From the hanging ghost in the toilet last night, until the "placenta soup" this morning, basically he was thinking about something, and something would appear.This aggravated his fear at the time, but recalling it now, it undoubtedly revealed a signal: the opponent was himself.

Never before had he confirmed it so clearly for a moment.

From childhood to adulthood, he has almost always shown people with a face of "expressionless" and "lack of emotion". He rarely shows a vulnerable side in front of anyone, let alone fear.Maybe someone has guessed his preferences, but it must be impossible to guess, because he looks so complete and unassailable.

But in fact, what he is afraid of is very common, that is, ghosts.And because he doesn't watch ghost movies and his imagination is limited, what he fears are the ghosts in the most common and vulgar folk tales.

This is so out of proportion to his image, but it is true.

He didn't tell anyone about this matter, including Ji Jingzhe.

But the "designer" hit every point of his fear so accurately, and even the images of the ghosts he created were exactly the same as in his barren imagination.

This feeling of being completely controlled by others is so special that people who have not experienced it will never understand.

Therefore, he confirmed this matter - what Bai Yueguang said, the existence of another "Wei Chi".

Then, there is the world of "placenta soup".

The weird point is people's expressions and placenta soup.

After Ji Jingzhe destroyed dozens of worlds, they skipped the "placenta soup" world, and came to the world of "fake burial" and "ghost marriage" - this is actually inappropriate, because these three worlds are also possible is a continuous world.

Eat the placenta in the morning, send to the hospital in the afternoon, fake burial in the evening, and ghost marriage in the middle of the night.

If I remember correctly, Uncle Sanbiao said something to testify about this timeline.

Then on this long-term line, the weirdest points are: expressions, placenta soup, four pieces of paper money, gender-displaced ghost marriage, and drinking together.

Assuming that the little paper figurine is part of Ji Jingzhe's consciousness, and assuming that it knows part of this world, then judging from its performance...

Wei Chi recalled all its actions again.

It agreed with them to burn the scarecrow, did not respond to the woman in Tsing Yi, and induced him to pick up the "marriage post" and marry "15-year-old Ji Jingzhe" in the dark, and, like the real Ji Jingzhe, forbid him to eat.

Among these behaviors, only the "ghost marriage" made him doubt its position for a short time, but now that he thinks about it again, what if the "marriage post" at that time had to be picked up?Didn't the third cousin go straight to Li Xiaofei when he came out?

If that thing had to be picked up... there was no one in the village, so the three of them could be picked up?

No matter how you look at it, it seems that it is better for him to pick it up.

Then, after confirming its position, if we analyze it from all its actions and the clues it has now...

Wei Chi summed up the main points again in his mind:

Expressions, folklore, food.

The "rules of ancestors" in folklore are irresistible, such as "you must drink the 'placenta soup' to get rid of bad luck", "a boy who dies early must marry before he can be buried", "the person who picks up the 'marriage post' must be with the deceased. Get married (regardless of gender)", "'Joint wine' must also be drunk".

If you disobey this kind of folk custom, you will probably die without a burial just like disobeying the staff in the "library".

But on top of this rule, there is another one, which is not to eat the food here.

pass.

Then, as long as he abides by folk customs and does not eat food, he should be safe.

Now, what needs to be solved is the puzzle of "expression".

During this time, he has been in a bad state, and his mind was in a trance and muddled like it was rusted. Now after thinking about it, he suddenly felt a sense of enlightenment, as if all the ailments in his body had been washed away. up.

He let out a long breath and felt himself sweating all over. At this moment, he suddenly heard a "snoring".

He felt a chill on his back, and glanced at "Ji Jingzhe" who was lying beside him, but found nothing unusual. After a while, he heard another sound, and he was sure that it was from the little paper man lying on his chest. .

The little guy started belching.

Well, it was useless to worry about it before.

The last trace of haze in his heart also dissipated.

He looked around, looked at the environment he was in, and recognized that this was the master bedroom of Grandpa Ji's house. Under the festive decorations, there were graffiti that they had painted peach charms on the wall when they were young.

After thinking about it, he dug out a box of toilet paper from under the bedside table, pulled out dozens of sheets, put the little paper figurines inside, carefully placed them in the lapel of the women's wedding dress, and then pushed aside the red tassels on the wall, Seeing the old-fashioned wall clock hanging on the wall, it shows two forty.

He tied up his sleeves and trousers, and turned out the window.

He first went around to the front yard to have a look, but found that there was no one there.He identified the direction and walked towards grandma's house.

After walking for more than 20 minutes, he saw the lights of his grandma's house.

Not the incandescent lamps I remembered from the night before, but bright red lanterns, ghostly shadows under the mysterious moonlight.

He saw a few people sitting under the jujube tree drinking, it seemed that there were uncles and third uncles, so he squatted down a little bit, walked around to the back of the house, and knocked on the window of grandma's room.

There was no response, and after a while, he knocked again.

After knocking three times, the window opened, showing grandma's smiling and kind face.

"Hey, little pig Wei..."

Wei Chi gave a "shh" and said, "Grandma, I want to eat candy."

Grandma smiled a little bigger and nodded all the time: "Come, come, come in."

When Zhou Yingchun got divorced, her grandmother lived with them for a while to take care of Wei Chi.Zhou Yingchun is a doctor who has accepted advanced parenting concepts and forbade Wei Chi to eat sweets as a child, saying that it was unhealthy for teeth.Grandma disapproves of her so-called "science education", and often buys Weichi's favorite fruit candies and hides them in her room. Every night, Weichi will sneak into grandma's room to play for a while, eat a piece of candy, and then act nonchalantly. Go back to the room to sleep, this is a little secret between the two of them.

Wei Chi turned into the house, and as soon as he landed, his grandma came over with a small bag in his hands, and stuffed the bag into his hand: "Eat, eat quickly."

Wei Chi saw that it was the kind of fruit candy he liked most when he was a child. It was a small piece of colorful fluorescent paper, and it had long disappeared in the city where he lived. He once suspected that this kind of candy had been discontinued.

His vision blurred for an instant.

He peeled off a candy, it was his favorite green apple flavor, exactly the same as he remembered, but he dared not eat it.He threw sugar into his clothes when grandma was not paying attention, and then he peeled another grape flavor, another lemon flavor, orange flavor, peach flavor, watermelon flavor... even his least favorite strawberry The taste is peeled off.

He stacked candy wrappers of all colors together and held them in his palm, pretending that he had eaten them.

Grandma was taken aback: "Yo, eating so much, it's just a pig..."

"Grandma..." He raised his head and saw grandma's old, flat face, countless wrinkles and glaring age spots on her face. The past ten years flew by in his mind. He bowed and hugged grandma's waist, "I miss you."

Grandma froze for a moment, then began to pat him on the shoulder: "Don't cry, don't cry, our little pigs don't cry..."

Wei Chi buried his face deeply in his grandma's stomach and did not cry out.

He precisely let himself indulge for 5 minutes. After 5 minutes, he sat upright and suppressed all his emotions forcefully.

Grandma held the bag of candy and handed it to him again: "Do you still want to eat?"

"Don't eat." Wei Chi said, "I just want to chat with you."

"Let's talk, let's talk." Grandma knocked on the head, "Hey...do you have something else tonight? What is it?"

"No." Wei Chi took her hands together, "I'll chat with you today."

Grandma was very happy: "Okay, okay."

He chatted with his grandma for a while, and suddenly interjected: "By the way, I see that the third cousin is back? Hasn't he been away from home for many years?"

After hearing Huatou, the old man began to chatter.

The third cousin was born Zhou Feng. He was a well-known gangster from all over the world since he was a child. Although he was ignorant, he was still loyal and strong. He often helped the villagers when they asked him to. In general, Is a "good boy".

Grandma shook her head again and again and sighed: "It's a pity."

When Zhou Feng was 30 or [-] years old, a group of educated youths came to the village. The child seemed to like one of the female educated youths. Unfortunately, the female educated youth was beaten to death by her husband.Zhou Feng was seventeen or eighteen years old that year, and he ran away from home after being stimulated.I have been there for more than [-] years and have not heard from him. I have only returned home in the past two years. My frowns are drooping, probably because I have had enough of the devastation of society.

Wei Chi asked, "Have you seen that female educated youth?"

"I've seen it before, she's pretty." Grandma's ashen eyes lit up, revealing yearning, "Bai Shengsheng is a tall and thin girl who likes to wear green cheongsam... At that time, who wore cheongsam?" ah?"

Wei Chi thought of the bride who was sitting by the bed this morning to make up again, and asked, "Did she get married after coming here?"

"No." Grandma said, "She came here with her man to be an educated youth."

Wei Chi: "Then how did she die?"

Grandma was silent for a while, and then said: "I heard that he was beaten to death, and the body was thrown in the well for three or four days before it was discovered... I didn't dare to look."

Wei Chi asked, "Where is her man?"

"I ran away a long time ago." Grandma curled her lips, rubbed her eyes again, and said, "It's a crime."

Afterwards, Wei Chi asked about the stories of other relatives on the sidelines, focusing on a few with different expressions—not smiling faces.

The few people he remembers clearly are: uncle, second aunt, cousin, and several younger juniors.

The old man hadn't talked so happily for many years, and he told everything he knew, including hearsay.

Time flies by.

It was 03:30 in a blink of an eye.

Wei Chi remembered that Uncle Sanbiao said to him when he just got off the wedding sedan chair: "There is a pig demon coming at four o'clock."

He guessed that four o'clock is also an important node in a certain folk custom, and he must rush back to the "bridal chamber" before that.

Almost time to leave.

He asked grandma: "Grandma, are you sleepy?"

The old man obviously yawned a few times, but immediately shook his head and said he was not sleepy, and just looked at him fixedly.

Wei Chi felt a pain in his heart.

At the last moment, in this kind of world, I met my grandma once, but it was still to use her.

He closed his eyes, gritted his molars hard, calmed down for a moment, and said, "It's too late, go to sleep."

Grandma looked at her watch dully: "It's... three o'clock. Well, it's time to go to bed."

Wei Chi helped her grandma to lie down on the bed, pulled the quilt on her, calculated the time again, sat down on the side of the bed, and said, "Grandma, go to sleep, I will accompany you."

Grandma smiled: "Where do I need your company?"

Wei Chi: "When I was young, you always slept with me, today I will accompany you."

Grandma: "Okay, okay."

Grandma closed her eyes, and after a while, Wei Chi saw that the time was almost up, and said softly, "Thank you, Grandma."

He couldn't hold back, and shed a few more tears: "Grandma, goodbye."

There was a rustling sound in the chest, and the crumpled little paper man poked out half of his head and whispered, "Grandma, goodbye."

"Goodbye." Grandma actually replied, a little tear flashed in her narrowed eyes, and she opened them slightly again.With gentle eyes and a kind smile, she said, "You are all good children, so be good."

Wei Chi covered his eyes, and after a while, he forced a smile and said, "Okay... you can go to sleep, I will accompany you."

Grandma still smiled: "Okay."

Wei Chi paid attention to the time, it was 45:[-], and he had to leave. Seeing that grandma had closed her eyes, as if she had fallen asleep, she finally made up her mind and stood up to leave.

At this moment, the old man suddenly opened his eyes, a pair of eyes with white shades were wide open, sparkling, but out of focus, and asked slowly: "No, aren't you getting married tonight?"

Wei Chi was stared at by these eyes, and his whole body went numb.

She suddenly went berserk and started calling her uncle's name at the top of her voice: "Zhou Bin! Zhou Bin!"

Wei Chi heard the sound of footsteps coming from far and near, so he didn't dare to stay, and fled through the window.
