I Upended Yet Another Campus Urban Legend

Not a while after the sound of the match rubbing against the phosphor surface, Lin Yi smelled a burnt smell, and immediately after that, black smoke from underburning came in from under the crack of the door.

Looking at the black smoke under his feet, Lin Yi reacted immediately.

He glanced out of the window, and sure enough, he saw Ren Li who was a little far downstairs through the window.

When Ren Li recounted this period of retrospect, he said that he saw two shadows outside Cen Qian's house, one in the bedroom and the other in the living room, because the figure in the living room was sitting, so this person was Cen Qian. Doubtful, another figure in the bedroom was naturally recognized by Ren Li as Moment.

But in fact, this figure is him.

At that time, Ren Li didn't understand why Shun Ji didn't jump out of the window when the fire started.

Lin Yi now found the answer, because he didn't dare and couldn't.

The second floor is actually not high. If he jumps out of the window, he may not necessarily fall to his death, but there is a high possibility that he will be seen by Cen Qian.Now Cen Qian is just a blink of an eye, and seeing the face of a blink of an eye triggers the death rule, not to mention the current situation is not only this one death rule, but also a new death rule that they have no clue about for the time being.

But Lin Yi wasn't worried anymore. According to Ren Li's story, Ren Li would contact the fire department, and he could leave when the fire department arrived.

After making sure that his dog's life could still be saved, Lin Yi didn't hold the door any longer. He simply continued to dig through the things in this bedroom. Since Cen Qian could put the cloak in the bedroom, there might be something else.

Lin Yi opened the closet, covered his mouth and nose with one hand and rummaged in the closet with the other.

He picked apart other clothes, and after a while, he found something, a box that wasn't too big or too small.

Opening it up, the things inside are not surprising. There are rings, earrings, diaries, buttons and badges, etc...

It seemed strange that these things were placed in a box at this time. Lin Yi stared at these things. The size of the ring obviously belonged to a girl, and the style of the buttons was more like a suit button. There was a brand logo printed on the buttons, indeed. It is a clothing brand that only makes men's clothing.

In other words, the items in the box do not belong to a single person, let alone Cen Qian.

Lin Yi saw the diamond necklace that belonged to Cen Qian's mother, and the diamond necklace was also placed in it.

Suddenly Lin Yi understood.

If Cen Qian is just a moment, it is very likely that Cen Qian's mother died in Cen Qian's hands, and why Cen Qian took away Cen Qian's mother's things, the answer is self-evident at this time.

Instantly removes an item from the person it kills.

Such as this ring, such as this button and this diamond necklace.

There is another thing at the bottom of the box, which is a piece of paper that has been stored for a long time.

Lin Yi took it out, and was shocked when he saw the contents of the page.

A press release written by Zhou Qi!

More and more smoke rushed into the house, and Lin Yi became more and more difficult to breathe, but fortunately, he heard the siren of a fire truck in the distance.

He's almost out of here.

Lin Yi lay down on the bed exhausted, intending to save the last bit of physical strength, so that if something unexpected happened before leaving here and Cen Qian rushed in suddenly, he could still struggle.

While lying on the bed, the horror in Lin Yi's heart became more and more intense. Ren Li used the word 'shaky' when describing the figure in the room at that time, and now his situation fully fits Ren Li's description.

Everything they experienced in the 4-4 rule world seemed to follow the script as written.

When Lin Yi was beginning to feel suffocated, the white light finally appeared.

Before leaving here, Lin Yi heard the sound of firemen breaking into the door...

Lin Yi opened his eyes.

It was already dawn, and Qin Zhou called him up.

With the existence of two death rules, it is not a good thing to stay in the time regression for a long time.

Lin Yi turned over and found that when Cen Qian was looking at him by the door, he was nervous for a moment, and then hid the matchbox behind his back.

Cen Qian took Lin Yi's actions into his eyes, and asked bluntly, "Have you had breakfast?"

Since it was Qin Zhou who woke him up, Lin Yi reckoned that it was almost time to go to work, so he shook his head: "It's probably too late to go to work."

Cen Qian said 'oh', turned the wheelchair and left.

After Cen Qian left, Lin Yi's eyes moved past Qin Zhou to the right. There should be a wardrobe at the place he looked at, but in the 'now time', the wardrobe that stores the fleeting cloak and the box does not exist.

Lin Yi got up from the bed: "Senior, I'll go wash up first."

Without waiting for Qin Zhou to respond, Lin Yi went from the bedroom to the toilet. Next to the toilet was the room where Cen Qian lived. The door of the room was ajar. Lin Yi saw the wardrobe appear in Cen Qian's room.

Newspapers were pasted up in areas blackened by the smoke.

After seeing what he wanted to see, Lin Yi withdrew his gaze and turned on the faucet, splashing water on his face to wake himself up.

After a simple wash, Lin Yi and his party left Cen Qian's house.

"What's going on?" Ren Li didn't participate in the time rewinding last night. It was agreed that Qin Zhou went to the cat to rewind the time. However, when Ren Li woke up, he found that Qin Zhou woke up earlier than himself, but Lin Yi was still there. sleep.

At Cen Qian's house, it was inconvenient for Ren Li to ask Qin Zhou and it was inconvenient for him to answer. Ren Li only asked after he left.

Qin Zhou said, "Someone interrupted me."

Ren Li was taken aback, and immediately looked at Lin Yi suspiciously.

From Ren Li's point of view, if he didn't do this, then it could only be Lin Yi.

Lin Yi didn't have the heart to explain his innocence at this time, he directly said the most important information he gained last night: "Cen Qian is just a moment."

Qin Zhou frowned, Ren Li looked at him suspiciously.

Lin Yi recounted what happened last night, "The instant that Brother Ren Li saw was actually me, oh no, it was me who saw the figure, and the real instant was Cen Qian. I saw the cloak in the closet. Now this The closet is in Cen Qian's room, and if nothing else happens, the cloak should still be in the closet."

Perhaps Qin Zhou was interrupted to go back in time and made Ren Li suspicious of Lin Yi. Ren Li didn't believe Lin Yi: "The cloak does not prove that Cen Qian is an instant."

"I know." Lin Yi continued, "There is another box in the closet."

After telling the two people what was in the box, Lin Yi: "There is a mark circled with a gel pen on the press release, and the circled keywords are: instant, serial killer, and taking something from the dead."

All three of Zhou Qi's press releases had read it, and there was no evidence at the time that "taking something from the deceased" was just fabricated by Zhou Qi for the sake of a gimmick.

But now it has become a fact.

"Senior, Zhou Qi was not killed by 170cm in an instant, but by Cen Qian. There is a high probability that Zhou Qi's press release fell in front of Cen Qian's eyes, so Cen Qian imitated the press release and became "" in the press release. Instant'." Lin Yi continued to demonstrate with examples: "Every trigger mechanism is related to time regression. It can be said that these items are the subject of a certain period of time regression, but the time regression triggered by the wire hairpin has nothing to do with Cen Qian's arrest. , I think the connection should be that Cen Qian used wire hairpins to escape from prison. Brother Ren Li, if you don’t believe me, as long as you can find wire hairpins in the closet box, it will prove that Cen Qian is indeed ephemeral .”

Listening to Lin Yi's narration, Qin Zhou recalled the time. The day they entered the 4-4 rule world was September 9st, and Instantaneous was arrested on the night of September 21th. After being arrested on the evening of the 9th, he escaped, so that Cen Qianneng would appear at his home on September 19st, and the timing would match.

Ren Li thought for a while, "If Cen Qian is fleeting, why didn't you violate the rules of death?"

Lin Yi rescued Cen Qian in the first night of time regression. At that time, Lin Yi saw Cen Qian's face.

This time, without waiting for Lin Yi to explain, Qin Zhou said, "At that time, Cen Qian wasn't just a blink of an eye."

Because of going back in time from the first night, Lin Yi met Cen Qian who was seven or eight years old. At that time, Cen Qian hadn't received Zhou Qi's press release, nor had he become a blink of an eye.

Ren Li said: "How did Zhou Qi explain that?"

Zhou Qi died in the hands of Cen Qian, and the day of Zhou Qi's death was also the day Cen Qian got the press release, but it is impossible for Cen Qian to turn into an instant as soon as he got the press release, and then kill Zhou Qi who triggered the death rule.

Lin Yi said: "Because the rule of death is not to be seen instantly."

"It was instantly determined that he discovered his secret."

Ren Li glanced at Qin Zhou, and found that Qin Zhou already had a clear face, but he didn't understand. After thinking for a while, he couldn't figure it out, so he asked, "What do you mean?"

Qin Zhou's saying is right, Cen Qian should have the gene of tyranny, otherwise how could seven or eight-year-old children start abusing cats for pleasure? This is Cen Qian's secret.

Because there are cruel genes in his body, before he became a blink of an eye, Cen Qian abused cats for fun. This was an early secret.

Because of the brutal genes in his body, Cen Qian killed people for fun after becoming an instant. This is a secret in the later stage.

Why did Zhou Qi die? Because when he was forced into the alley by 170cm in an instant, he saw Cen Qian who was abusing the cat, and the death rule was triggered.

And Jiang Wang's death was indeed because he saw Ji Ji's face, and Ji Ji was a serial murderer. Such a person must have cruel genes, so Jiang Wang saw Ji Ji's face, which was equivalent to discovering Cen Qian's true identity. Secret, thus triggering the death rule.

Lin Yi explained this to Ren Li.

Ren Li was fine now, he agreed with Lin Yi's words.

"So the main line is..." Ren Li paused to prepare for the long sentence he was about to say: "Cen Qian has anti-social and cruel genes in his body. He once abused a cat and lost a leg, but his will never change. One day When I continued to commit crimes at night, I met Zhou Qi who was carrying a press release. He was fascinated by the 'instant' in the press release, and became an instant, and later brutally killed his mother..."

The more he talked, the more Ren Li felt something was wrong.

Lin Yi shook his head: "Brother Ren Li, this main line is just a script."

Ren Li frowned like Qin Zhou.

"If this main line can't go on without us, what will the previous participants say?" Qin Zhou snorted: "It's impossible for them to see the same main line as us."

This is what Ren Li discovered was wrong.

Lin Yi nodded aside and said, "The 4-4 rule is that time will not go back."

"The main line must not be found from time travel, we have been led astray." Lin Yi said.

"Where do you find it?" Ren Li asked.

After all what they are experiencing right now is 'now time' and is part of the closed loop of time.
