I Upended Yet Another Campus Urban Legend

Ren Li took out the matchbox and handed it back to Qin Zhou.

Qin Zhou took it and squeezed it in his hand. The corners of the matchbox were not sharp. After all, it was a matchbox four years ago. The box was damp and the corners had already become soft and muddy.

There are also doubts about Ren Li's retrospective time, but the three of them have not mentioned it for the time being, and it is Lin Yi's turn to tell what happened last night.

Several times in the world of rules, Lin Yi has been trained. After being stared at by Qin Zhou and Ren Li and waiting for him to talk about it, he didn't feel any nervousness anymore, and he said smoothly: "The time last night should be shorter than that of Ren Li. Brother earlier..."

Lin Yi, who went to sleep with the group photo in his arms, forced himself to sleep as soon as he lay on the bed, but falling asleep was not as easy as listening to MP4 in reality, especially Lin Yi knew clearly that there would be tasks waiting for him after he fell asleep, This makes his sleep purposeful, making it harder to fall asleep.

I don't know how long it took, how many times he recalled the audio in his mind, before he felt a little or even negligible sleepiness.

After this sleepiness was fully brewed and fermented, I don't know how much time has passed.

After falling asleep, white light appeared under the crack of the door again. Lin Yi turned over and got out of bed skillfully, and then opened the door.

After the door was opened, Lin Yi found that he was still in this bedroom, but the difference was that there was no wallpaper on the wall of the bedroom, but a white painted wall.

In other words, he went back in time to a certain point in the past before the house burned down.

There was no newspaper pasted on the window, Lin Yi could see the sky outside, it was a rainy night.

The sound of the rain curtain brushing away partly came from the living room.

Hearing the noise in the living room, Lin Yi didn't dare to open the door rashly to go out to check. He couldn't guarantee whether there was a "moment" outside the living room, let alone whether he would bump into the "moment" outside the moment he opened the door.

He thought for a while and turned his gaze to the window.

The rain was heavy, and even though the windows were a bit old, the noise made by pushing the windows was completely suppressed by the sound of the rain.

Lin Yi first stuck his head out in the rain, and when he found a place to stay, he didn't hesitate, and stretched out half of his body.

With his feet on the air conditioner rack, he didn't dare to put his whole body weight on it, so he just let himself fall on a narrow window sill with the help of the outer rack of the air conditioner, and then carefully passed the window of the living room while pulling the window. look in.

Raindrops kept rolling down the window glass, and the heavy rain instantly drenched him, making it difficult to open his eyes.But even so, Lin Yi could clearly see what was going on in the living room.

A person, a corpse.

The man was Cen Qian, sitting in a wheelchair, trembling all over, staring at the corpse on the ground.

Lin Yi also recognized the corpse, it was Cen Qian's mother who was pictured with Cen Qian in the photo.

Lin Yi watched secretly from the window, the corpse was still bleeding, the horizontal width of the wound was the same as that of Zhou Qi and Jiang Wang, and they died with the same dagger, or in other words, they all died in the hands of 'Jian Ji'.

While looking at the wound of the corpse, Lin Yi also found that Cen Qian was holding something tightly in his hand, which flickered from time to time under the light of the living room.

It was a diamond necklace, which unsurprisingly belonged to Cen Qian's mother. In the group photo, Lin Yi saw that Cen Qian's mother was wearing this necklace around her neck.

The death of his mother seemed to have dealt a heavy blow to Cen Qian. Cen Qian trembled involuntarily, but his expression seemed to be petrified.

Lin Yi looked at it for a while, then withdrew to the bedroom.

Lin Yi didn't dare to sit on the bed because he was afraid that he would wet the bed in the bedroom, so he could only stand in a corner of the bedroom.

He was waiting for Cen Qian's next move, or to look back at the next development during this time.

But he did not wait, but waited for the white light.

"Senior, Brother Ren Li." Lin Yi said, "That's it."

Apart from seeing this scene, there didn't seem to be many other useful clues, and he didn't meet 'The Moment' either.

While talking, they had already arrived under the building of the news agency, and it was still by the flower bed downstairs.

The three of them were not in a hurry to go in, Qin Zhou said, "Let's make a conclusion."

Lin Yi nodded: "Yeah."

Qin Zhou put the wire hairpin and matchbox beside the flower bed, and Lin Yi returned the group photo when he got up in the morning, so Qin Zhou found a clean stone in the flower bed and put it next to these two things.

Lin Yi saw Qin Zhou's slender fingers first touch the wire hairpin.

Then Qin Zhou said, "Cen Qian didn't show up."

This is the biggest doubt in the time regression triggered by the wire hairpin.

Because Cen Qian did not appear, some parts of their previous inferences were about to be overturned. For example, time regression could also be irrelevant to Cen Qian.

Lin Yi thought for a while and said, "Maybe the senior was late."

This is possible because the time went back the next night, he and Qin Zhou went to find the cause of Zhou Qi's death together, because Qin Zhou went to bed earlier than Lin Yi, so Qin Zhou arrived first and Lin Yi took a long time to arrive. .

Qin Zhou couldn't deny this, but Lin Yi immediately raised a bigger point of doubt: "The triggering mechanism does not belong to Cen Qian."

The wire hairpin belongs to the participant, but it also triggers time travel.

Ren Li was thinking about Qin Zhou's question, and after hearing Lin Yi give a possible answer very quickly, he continued to think about this point raised by Lin Yi.

Qin Zhou just turned his head, and said: "In the 4-4 rule world, the past affects the present, the present affects the future, and the future also affects the past."

Lin Yi: "Time is closed."

Just like Lin Yi didn't know Cen Qian at first, but after going back to the time of the first night, he not only knew Cen Qian, but also knew his relationship with Cen Qian.

That is to say, Lin Yi from the 'future time' went to the 'past time', and the future Lin Yi saved Cen Qian from the 'past time' in the 'past time'.

When the timeline developed to the 'present time', the current Lin Yi also knew the current Cen Qian.

So the three timelines of past, present and future have completed a closure.

Ren Li understood this, but he just didn't understand what Lin Yi and Qin Zhou meant when they proposed a time closed loop.

"Ren Li, it's like this." Lin Yi took the initiative to explain: "The wire hairpin may not belong to Cen Qian in the 'present time', but it is hard to guarantee that it will not belong to Cen Qian in the 'future time'."

Since the three timelines of the past, present, and future are closed, it can barely be explained that the 'present time' that does not belong to Cen Qian's wire hairpin can trigger time regression.

Ren Li said: "But the wire hairpin is in the hands of 'Shining'."

Qin Zhou: "Don't forget the ip address of the anonymous person. After breaking out of prison, will 'Jianji' follow the ip address to find Cen Qian, and will he drop the wire hairpin in Cen Qian's hands again? It's possible."

Ren Li thought for a moment: "Yes."

It is very possible that they were pushing the side before, and Cen Qian had witnessed the true face of 'JianJian', so he attracted 'JianJian' to chase and kill them.

The wire hairpin came to an end for now, and Qin Zhou moved his hand to the matchbox.

Ren Li said: "Why didn't Cen Qian run away?"

Qin Zhou moved his hand to the rock again, so the 'instant' broke into the house, and he had the answer why Cen Qian didn't escape.

Cen Qian's mother died at the hands of 'Jing Ji', so Cen Qian decided to die with 'Jing Ji' after so many years of being suppressed by 'Jing Ji'.

So the remaining doubts about these three objects are how 'Jian Mo' disappeared from Ren Li's nose.

The answer is obvious, 'instantaneous', like them, also has the ability to travel through time.

This makes the whole main line suddenly become confusing.

Is it because the 4-4 monsters gave him the ability to travel through time when setting up the NPC 'Blink', or is it that 'Blink' is hidden among the participants.

The former will only increase the difficulty for them to find the 'moment', while the latter will make the situation instantly difficult to hell, who will hide between them?

Only 4-4 monsters.

Thinking in a bad direction, the 4-4 monster must know all the mechanisms that can trigger time regression. It can continue to go back in time to create a fake main line to confuse them.

Like the 16-8 monster, it started with a pick.

"For the time being, we will not consider the situation that 'Blink' is a 4-4 monster." Qin Zhou said: "Unless the way to the main line is blocked, there is no need to increase the burden from the beginning."

Lin Yi felt that what Qin Zhou said made sense. Without considering that 'Blink' was a 4-4 monster, the main line of the 4-4 rule world was already very clear.

Cen Qian is a poor child.

Because saving a cat caused him to lose a leg, in the process of rescuing stray cats, he unfortunately met the serial murderer "Blink", and was aware of his existence by "Blink".

Perhaps because of Cen Qian's flaw, "Jianji" didn't kill him directly, but like a cat hunting a small mouse, he caught and released the mouse until the mouse was exhausted and then ate the mouse.

Therefore, "Instantaneous" killed Cen Qian's present, and perhaps did more things, but these things still need more objects that trigger time regression to supplement.

After the main line can be basically determined, the next step is to find the 4-4 monsters hidden among them.

Although the three of them have been cooperating, they also know each other well that the probability of a 4-4 monster among the three of them is higher than that of the others being a 4-4 monster.

But also because they are three people, just like Doudizhu, there are always two allies.Qin Zhou used the most simple and rude way to attract the hatred of 4-4 monsters - announcing the death rule.

The original intention of the monster is to maintain the operation of the rule world. Once no one dies, the rule world it created will be meaningless, and it will not be able to enjoy the prey involved in the rule world.

It can hide among them and fight wits and courageously with them, but it must not be able to bear the death of no one in the rule world.

Lin Yi nodded: "I agree."

Ren Li had been working alone before, after considering the pros and cons of attracting 4-4 ​​monsters, he also nodded: "Yes."

Qin Zhou frowned emotionally.

To be honest, the only thing he can be sure of so far is that he is not a 4-4 monster.

Lin Yi is still Ren Li, he has no clue.

After glancing at Lin Yi who was eager to try, Qin Zhou reached out and tapped Lin Yi lightly on the head: "I'll do it this time."

Just as Lin Yi was about to say something, Qin Zhou said, "It's my turn."

Last time in the 7-7 rule world, it was Lin Yi who attracted attention, and now it's his turn.

Lin Yi could only accept his self-recommendation and nodded: "Okay."

Qin Zhou: "It should be a long time late, go up first."

Lin Yi: "Okay."

The three of them walked into the news agency building. At the flower bed, a man wearing a cloak appeared here. He picked up the stone that had just been used as a group photo, and put it in his pocket.

The weather was fine, and his beautiful fingers shone like jade in the sunlight.
