0045 Chapter 2 Part 1: The Shadow of Death (Section 1)
"Three... chances?"
Zhen Cheng sat up in bed and murmured softly, as if he had had a strange dream.
Searching for memories, Zhen Cheng remembered the bizarre encounter in the secret space at the beginning, and then participated in the detective game organized by the Scarry family in order to obtain the extraordinary power to survive in the secret space...
She lost the game under unfair rules, but gained strength. Then she returned to campus to experiment with her newfound strength. This seemed to have led to quite troublesome consequences, making her feel like she was being targeted by death every day.
experienced at least one fatal disaster.
And all of this, nine times out of ten, is the mask that he snatched away, and gave it to him under the pretext of finding a tailor-made spiritual path, hiding his head and tail, the white-haired son and daughter [who have been in the same class for a year] but are rarely seen.
A trap set by oneself.
After figuring this out, Zhen Cheng began to deliberately trace Qu Yun's traces, trying to figure out what was going on with this deceptive extraordinary path in him.
Finally, when he finally caught up with this guy in class, what followed were mutated classmates, a murdered teacher, and then... he was shot dead by her?
Zhen Cheng couldn't figure out whether her speech spirit failed in the end, or whether Qu Yun didn't aim at her head at all.
Just by looking at the other party's calm and slightly mocking eyes, Zhen Cheng could be sure that she really wanted to kill him. But the result after the influence of the spirit...
She came up with a very embarrassing and only reasonable explanation. Qu Yun really wanted to kill her, but due to unknown reasons, the shot would have missed. In the end, due to the interference of her voice spirit, it deviated from the original trajectory and killed her.
Got myself...
Damn luck...
But these are no longer important at this time. The most important question now is what does it mean that I woke up from my dormitory fine after being shot to death? Could it be that what just happened... was a dream?
Ordinary people would probably be confused by this question for a long time, but this one on the bed can be regarded as a famous student detective after all.
Zhen Cheng jumped up from the bed, first rushed to the living room and turned on the TV in his single-family villa dormitory.
The TV is currently broadcasting a gunfight in the bar in front of Thetis Pharmaceuticals, a well-known company in North America. The police are looking for the top killer of Heart of Songhai [High-profile Love Logan Silk]. As for the time... it was Monday a week ago.
Well, I just got a forehead tattoo from Qu Yun, and the day after returning to Academy City, everything strange was about to happen.
It matches the time on the mobile phone, and there are regular news programs showing the time of the day. This can rule out the possibility that someone changed the time on their mobile phone and desk clock to deliberately create an illusion.
But if you can easily conclude that you have traveled to a week ago and make such a surreal assumption, then you are not a detective girl but a middle school girl.
Maybe someone used high-tech means to control the TV in their room, or maybe someone captured all the TV stations in Academy City at the same time in order to complete the trick and demanded that the program from last Monday be broadcast again intact...
Okay, this sounds very unreliable, but at least it is more reliable than going back in time, isn't it? She has never seen with her own eyes how high the ceiling of human extraordinary people is, but if someone can go back in time,
With this kind of thing, it is obvious that the three major families no longer rule the world.
Zhen Cheng still needs more clues to make a judgment on the current situation. Unfortunately, she was not watching TV last Monday morning, so it is naturally impossible for her to have any impression of the previous program.
Unlike those famous detectives who rely on their amazing memory to solve cases, Zhen Cheng is the type who is good at allocating energy and relaxation.
She will not inexplicably remember the license plate that passed by the door a week ago or the posture of her classmates from the neighboring hospital exercising in the yard in the morning; on the contrary, she will forget most of the details on weekdays, so as to cultivate and support herself to start working.
The brain is running at high speed.
This is like a computer with the same configuration. If you make the desktop tidy and the background clean, you will always be able to work more efficiently.
In other words, she could hardly find any evidence in her memory to prove whether this "Monday" had ever happened, and everything was actively forgotten by her good thinking habits.
But there are always some things in life that we can’t forget even if we want to. There happened to be two of them on the Monday we last experienced in our memory.
The former was the "suspected Milky Way falling into the sky" incident that made this guy so embarrassed that he didn't want to think about it anymore. The latter was when he was almost pushed off the platform later in the evening.
But before that, there was one more thing she could try to verify...
Putting his hands on the window sill, Zhen Cheng looked out the window and saw two big crows on the treetop opposite her making eye contact with him. Then he opened the window and looked at the sky. Well, the rising sun was in the sky, and the moon was so close to the distant horizon that it was almost invisible to the naked eye.
The sturdy roof of the villa dormitory cannot be damaged by any falling objects...
Looking at the crow on the tree with a ghostly smile, she opened her mouth and read:
"The moon is setting, the crows are crying, and the sky is filled with frost..."
Boom!
The rose flowerpot on the window sill seemed to have been touched when the window was opened, and after reading the sentence, it happened to fall on the top of Zhen Cheng's big toe.
"Uh...oooooooooo!!!"
Zhen Cheng is rolling around on the floor with his feet in his arms... Is this still possible? It's obviously not designed like this!
In the constant self-defeating, Miss Zhen refused to give up her handsome way of using her abilities.
"Quack, quack..." The crow's joyful mocking sound came from outside the window.
A few minutes later, Zhen Cheng stood up shivering, glared at the crow on the treetop, and said, "The crow flies up the coptis tree - asking for trouble!"
The branches broke at the sound, and the crow fell down while laughing.
Well, at least it proves that the earlier thing about gaining abilities from being drawn into the hidden space to participating in the detective game was not a dream...
She had no classes that day, and Zhen Cheng never got up early without an alarm. She usually had breakfast and took a walk, and walked to the city police station as scheduled at around 12:30.
If we set out now, we can drive a battery car that is freely available to students in school, save time for meals, and arrange the decorations in advance before arriving at the ivory tower on Monday in my memory.
Of course, there are many ways to determine whether time goes back. It can be as simple as calling and asking the guys you hired when you interviewed Qu Yun, or as sophisticated as recalling every unlucky person on the death list around you for a week in your memory.
Compare all the information...
But Zhen Cheng doesn't intend to take those measures, because what he is doing now can not only solve the clues of the time paradox in his memory, but also achieve some more important purposes.
Suppose someone (Qu) has laid a big chess game against her, and she needs to find out the opponent's flaws based on the discrepancy between her own memory and reality; and supposing that time really goes back, she must find out what the guy said.
What is the meaning of "the world will perish because of you"?
No matter what, she had to get there before the gears started turning and prepare her own hands and feet in advance.
