Chapter 425 The mastermind behind the emergence of the spiral of contradictions
"If we've seen enough, let's go."
Shi glanced at the miserable situation on the ground, turned around and walked out.
"Go? Where?"
Yan Tiaoba resisted the feeling of nausea and raised his head to look at Shi Shi.
"I'm going to die here! Wait a minute..."
Suddenly he realized something. He had been stabbed so many times on the bed, and there were so many holes in the thin quilt, but not a drop of blood came out. Even his mother who fell to the ground and committed suicide was the same.
So he walked forward cautiously, lifted the quilt, and carefully looked at himself on the bed who had been stabbed more than a dozen times.
Through the "wound", he could see the internal structure of the body, which was not flesh and blood and internal organs, but a semi-mechanical structure. The broken muscles were also milky white and looked like some kind of fiber.
"This is not the real me!"
Aware of the nature of his other self, Yan Tiaoba then checked his parents who fell on the ground and found that they were not real humans. He was not only relieved, but then anger welled up in his heart.

"Who on earth did such a thing? This joke is not funny at all. If I know who did it, I will definitely beat him up!"
"Maybe some boring magician."
Shi said casually,
"Let's go, this place has no value anymore, let's go to the next place quickly."
"Next place? Where are we going?"
Perhaps because half of the knot in his heart was untied, Yan Tiaoba seemed much more active, not at all as frightened as before.
"Go to your real residence."
………
………
After leaving room 405, Shiki returned to the central hall. Instead of taking the elevator, he chose to take a detour to the back of the elevator, where there was a passage leading to the west building.
The buildings in the west building cannot be said to be exactly the same as those in the east building. They can only be said to be exactly the same. Just like the scenery outside, they are so similar that it makes people wonder if they have circled back to the east building.
"Is this the West Building?"
Yan Tiaoba asked doubtfully. He has lived here for half a year and this is the first time he has come to the West Building. It is strange that no one who lives in the East Building has come to the West Building. He has not come to the West Building until now. aware of this problem.
"Well, the east and west buildings of this building are rotationally symmetrical."
"Huh? What did you say?"
Yan Tiaoba looked confused again.
Shiki recalled the design drawings of Ogawa's apartment she saw in the office, and the list of residents. At first she didn't understand why Mikael wanted her to see these, but now she completely understood.
"There are five rooms in each building. Counterclockwise from six o'clock, there are rooms 1 and 2 to distinguish them. The east building has rooms 1 to 5, and the west building has rooms 6 to 10."
"The residents on the fourth floor are empty house, helmet house, chain symbol, Wangyue, Xingu, empty house, empty house, Qianzhiguan, Shangshan, and Yantiao."
"In other words, Yan Tiao, the room you live in is not 405, but should be 410."
"What?!"
Yan Tiaoba was stunned as he listened to Liang Si's words and tried hard to understand the meaning of her words.
"But how could I misremember the location of my home? I have lived here for half a year."
"The memory is certainly not wrong, but the layout here can confuse you."
"The layout of this entire building is designed to prevent you from discovering the mechanisms set up alternately on the north and south sides. Whether it is the loud noise of the elevator or the similar patterns, it is enough to create a sense of confusion."
"The ban on the second floor is also for this purpose. If people don't notice that the half circle is missing, at least the height of one floor must be used."
"It's normal to walk straight out of the elevator, but the elevator turns around without paying attention, and the exit naturally changes from the south to the north, because the structures on the south and north sides of the hall are almost exactly the same. Leading to each building The passage always turns 90 degrees to the left at a right angle on either side, so even if you go the wrong way, it’s hard to spot.”
Shiki said so many words in one breath for the first time in a long time.
"So Yan Tiao, your memory is not wrong, it's just confused."
"So you are saying that I have actually always misremembered the location of my home."
Yan Tiaoba vaguely understood these words and finally summarized them.
"Yes, then do you want to come in and take a look? This is the home you haven't returned to in half a year."
Shi walked to room 410, opened the door with the key, and held his hand on the door handle.
Yan Tiaoba swallowed. He had a hunch that all the answers were hidden behind this door, but did he really want to know the truth?
You must know that lies will not hurt people, and the truth is the sharpest weapon. Sometimes, it is better not to know some truths, but in the end he nodded in agreement.
Because there is no point in deceiving oneself and others, he also wants to know what really happened.
Kacha——
The lock was retracted, and the door that had been sealed for half a year was opened. The room was dark, and only the vague outline of it could be seen with the help of the moonlight outside.
Shi reached out and pressed the light switch, and the dazzling incandescent light came on, dispelling the heavy darkness in the room.
"That's true."
She looked at the scene in the house and seemed to have known all this for a long time.
There were two withered skeletons lying in the living room, with some carrion still remaining on them. The stench of the air could almost make people faint, but he didn't care about it now. Yan Tiaoba stared at the two skeletons in stunned silence. Their clothing identified them.
"My...father and mother?"
"Yes, it should be them. It looks like they have been dead for half a year."
"Why? Obviously they..."
Yan Tiaoba was speechless and didn't know what to say. He obviously hated them so much that he couldn't bear it anymore and killed them anyway, but the facts before him told him that his parents had actually been dead for half a year.
It was really a joke. So what did he kill? Were they those dolls? It was really funny.
The fragments from the nightmare reappeared in his mind. He seemed to have thought of something, his face suddenly turned pale, and he subconsciously looked towards his room.
The light in the living room stopped at the paper door, and the obvious dividing line divided the light and darkness into two. There seemed to be something terrible hidden in the deep darkness.
Yan Tiaoba's mind went blank, and he staggered towards his room. He looked at his back, his eyebrows slightly raised, and had no intention of stopping him.
She already knew some things, but she just never revealed them. Of course, this didn't matter.
Suddenly, the sound of messy footsteps came from the door, interrupting Shi's thoughts.
"Oh, it seems that boring magician is full of murderous intent."
She smiled, took out the short knife, held it in her hand, and walked towards the door.
