Chapter 259: Acting Again
This is strange. Looking at the aunt yesterday, she didn’t look like she was scheming. It’s absolutely impossible to say that she could hide it so well today. Her behavior didn’t seem like she was hiding what happened.
Instead, it was as if she had started from scratch without this memory.
In any case, what Zhang Ke decided to do has not changed - he must first find Ritsuko, and then escape together. If his memory is completely correct, then he must avoid the two traps he encountered yesterday.
What happened next, except that there was no spoon at noon and had to use cloth to tie the rope, was almost the same as yesterday. Although he was also worried that all this was a plot by the enemy, who pretended not to remember everything that had happened.
Observe whether you still don't trust them, but everything that happens after that goes smoothly and unexpectedly:
The people who were entangled in the rope yesterday were still entangled in this simple rope.
The aunt who was knocked unconscious by the stick yesterday simply had her face smeared with spicy and hot curry today, and even snatched away the strange stick, and then she was still knocked unconscious.
——Even if you are pretending to be stupid, there is no need to let yourself act so recklessly, right?
However, there is no time to think so much now. What Zhang Ke is most concerned about at this time is, if the memory is true, is Ritsuko safe now?
Learning from yesterday's lesson, he first grabbed a handful of white rice, chewed it and swallowed it, trying to regain some strength.
Then he almost used all his strength to finally move the fat aunt to the dining car, and then he pushed the dining cart and set off towards the iron door where Ritsuko was closed in his memory.
Although the spider chased him all the way yesterday, he couldn't run very far due to his limited physical strength, so he recognized that the iron gate was not far from the fork in the road.
Based on his memory, he parked the dining car on the sensor floor of the penultimate iron gate. The weight of the dining car and the weight of the fat aunt successfully triggered the iron door's sensor and opened the iron door.
As expected, Ritsuko was still sitting on the bedside, still holding a book in her hand, but the title was no longer the arthropod from yesterday, but about autonomous robots.
But her expression was not as indifferent as yesterday, but instead carried some indelible sadness. The moment she saw Zhang Ke, most of the sadness in her brows disappeared in an instant, and she stood up excitedly and shouted:
"Are you okay! - No, I was stupid. Since you can come here again and still rely on different methods to open the door, it means you still remember!"
"It seems that you have come to the conclusion." Zhang Ke sighed: "I thought they were teaming up to deceive me, but today they were still unprepared, allowing me to easily escape from the ward and come to you.
——My conclusion may make you laugh, because I even begin to think that, except for the two of us, the memories of other humans are like computer systems that have been reset."
"Really? Then my guess may be crazier than yours." Ritsuko sighed and put the book on the bed: "Everything that happened today makes me have to think that we have really returned to yesterday."
"Back to yesterday?"
"Yes, firstly, because they don't have to keep only our memories, but reset their own memories. Secondly, because I looked carefully, even the physical state of everything is the same as yesterday, down to the position of the napkin.
It’s as big as the sheet I used to lure spiders yesterday.” Ritsuko pointed to the sheet underneath her and said:
"On that sheet, there were traces of orange juice that I accidentally spilled on it, but when I woke up today, I found that the mark was still there without any difference."
"Actually, I am too. The injuries I suffered in my memory were completely recovered when I woke up. Even if I knew they could create a big iron spider and brainwash both of us at the same time to make us see the same scenery, this level of medical treatment
It's too outstanding." Zhang Ke looked at his healthy hands and said:
"To be honest, after coming to this nursing home, no matter how bizarre things happen around me, I can't accept it."
"Then when they collect patients like us, they have actually known for a long time that this kind of thing will happen, and our common characteristic is probably that we still remember what happened." Ritsuko hesitated.
"And they have arranged so many agencies, and they have even calculated that someone will escape? Or, in fact, our escape is also included in their calculations?" Zhang Ke couldn't help but feel a little angry:
"No wonder no one came to chase me for so long after I escaped from the room. They must have been sitting comfortably in the monitoring room at that time, watching my every move like a monkey show!"
"If this is also an experiment arranged by them, maybe even the exit you imagined does not exist. Now do you still insist on taking me to escape with you?" Ritsuko was silent for a while and asked.
"If you ask me if I still have the same confidence as yesterday, I can't lie to myself and say that I do. But if you ask me if I don't regret it, I don't regret it either." Zhang Ke gritted his teeth and said:
"Why do they think that we should dance in their hands? Why do they think that their building is an iron wall that no one can break through? I have to break out to show them. Even if it fails, the big deal is like
Let’s look back in time like this today. Anyway, we still have countless time, it just depends on who can spend more time than whom!”
"As long as you make up your mind, I will still follow you 100%." Ritsuko smiled: "Besides, this adventure may be as interesting as reading a book."
Having made up their minds, the two of them walked out of the iron gate and walked to the fork in the road. As expected, the triangular sign made by Zhang Ke yesterday could no longer be found, and there were no signs of repainting on the wall, which further proved that their
guess.
Yesterday, they stepped on two traps, the Big Spider and the House of Illusion, and learned that there was a group of people lurking in the House of Illusion. Although I didn’t know if they would leave the room voluntarily, but safety was the top priority, they decided to leave today.
Another fork in the road.
Stepping into the vertical fork in the road, after just a few steps, the lights went out in the same manner. Zhang Ke originally planned to use the skills he learned yesterday and just walk over without paying attention, but Ritsuko held his hand: "Wait a minute!"
Sure enough, this time he stopped in place for almost five seconds, but no mechanism was triggered. Instead, the light was turned on again. Ritsuko breathed a sigh of relief: "That's true. If you consider that the other party knows about reincarnation, then
It’s impossible to set up the same kind of switch on the two forks. I guess if we rush over directly, they will release another spider."
"You are really treating people like guinea pigs." Zhang Ke was frightened, but the anger in his heart burned even brighter. The two continued to move forward until they reached the fork in the road ahead, but there was no new mechanism.
"If you go to the right, you will be back to where you were last time. Let's go to the left." Zhang Ke gestured at the position in his mind and said to Ritsuko.
"I'll listen to you. In this kind of environment where there is no information, maybe you can rely on your good luck to get out of the world." Ritsuko didn't object. So, they walked into the fork that was perpendicular to this road.
.
Just after walking a few steps, another vision occurred. He could only hear the rumbling sound of a machine somewhere nearby. Zhang Ke was startled and asked Lüzi: "Then should I leave now or should I stay?
