Chapter 7 Changing the Destiny
No matter how unbelievable and ridiculous it is, I have indeed returned to twenty-four hours ago, to the moment when I first saw that corpse.
Regardless of the detailed and realistic surroundings, which are almost impossible to be a dream or misconnected, the development nodes and processes of all subsequent events also strictly conform to and reproduce the previous logic.
Shortly after discovering the body, a man would knock on the door, euphemistically expressing that there was too much noise upstairs.
Last time, before he knocked on the door for the first time, I opened the door in panic, so I scared him into screaming and running away.
This time, he never opened the door. As soon as the time came, the other party naturally knocked on the door. The content of the conversation between the two people across the door was also very consistent with the previous situation.
It's like playing a game with various choices. Events that should happen will happen over time, but depending on the different behaviors and actions you choose, you will get different response results.
Because he stayed behind closed doors this time and sent the man away without any danger, what is about to happen next is...
In Zhang Ke's mind, the girl with the ponytail appeared, as sexy as a walking hormone.
No, in a few minutes, a woman who seems to be his ex-girlfriend will knock on the door hurriedly and yell loudly at the door.
It won't take long for her screams to attract the fat woman downstairs, and then she will expose the traces of murder in her hustle and bustle. Finally, she will be completely subdued by the neighbors and transferred to the police station by the arriving police...
Although he had not paid specific attention to the time before, Zhang Ke's intuition told him that there were only about five minutes left before the girl's arrival!
Once she blocks the door, everything becomes extremely troublesome. Even if she closes the room and doesn't open the door and doesn't make a sound, the quarrel between her and the fat woman is bound to cause a bigger disturbance and make trouble more difficult.
Further fermentation.
Considering the decibel level of these two people's voices, it may not be impossible to wake up the neighbors on several floors nearby.
And this kind of serious disturbing incident is also likely to attract the police from the police station. At that time, it will be difficult for me to hide my face.
Therefore, there is not much time left for yourself.
These five minutes are the final sprint. Whether you can reverse the previous destiny trajectory depends on your next choices.
Zhang Ke didn't hesitate anymore and rushed into the toilet. In front of the broken glass of the sink, he quickly washed away the blood on his hands, covered his feet with a plastic bag from the trash can, and took away the work ID with his name written on it -
—
All these actions were completed almost within a minute, as fast as lightning. The constantly beating heart and the rapid secretion of adrenaline increased Zhang Ke's speed of action to a level never seen before.
Be fast, be faster, if you are hit by that girl the moment you open the door, then all your efforts will be in vain.
Although I still don’t know why I was inexplicably transported to a day ago, I don’t know whether it was a gift from God or a trial from hell.
But Zhang Ke knew that since the opportunity had come before him, he must use all his strength to seize it.
If he had enough time, he would also like to carefully clean up the murder scene, so that after someone notices something unusual and calls the police, the police will still be able to locate him based on fingerprints, hair and other characteristics.
It's a pity that there is no extra time left for cleaning up. Now that we are taking one step at a time, we must first run as far as possible.
The large pool of blood on the chest of the shirt in front of him was still a troublesome thing. This room was the female corpse's personal apartment before she died, so it was really difficult to find clothes that she could change into.
Zhang Ke opened the wardrobe in his bedroom, looked through it briefly, and finally chose a windbreaker in a color that could be worn by both men and women and put it on his body.
Fortunately, it's dark outside now, and under the orange-yellow street lights, it should be difficult for passers-by to notice the difference in the color of your clothes. You can change them as appropriate after running far enough.
After all the most basic preparations were completed, Zhang Ke decisively left the room, closed the door heavily, and took the first step towards his escape journey toward the dim stairs.
But after taking a few steps, he felt something was wrong.
This is the sixth floor, and this apartment has a total of 12 floors. To reach your current floor height, it is possible to use elevators and stairs.
Therefore, it was impossible to tell whether the girl with a single ponytail came up by the elevator or the stairs. If he continued walking down, he would be embarrassed if he accidentally bumped into her face to face.
Although most people will choose the elevator if there is one, but once an exception occurs, all the efforts just now will be in vain.
What's more, if the girl happens to walk into the apartment building when he gets downstairs, the two of them will meet head-on, and this situation cannot be ignored.
After all, now I rely entirely on sensory time to estimate, and there is no precise timing, so it is difficult to grasp the safest time node.
Are there any ways to reduce the risk rate to a lower level?
Countless thoughts raced through Zhang Ke's mind, then he turned around and trotted straight upstairs in the opposite direction.
Although his head was still a little groggy, the strength of his limbs was almost at full strength. After a while, Zhang Ke ran to the tenth floor in a hurry, and then stopped to breathe and take a rest.
As for the reason why he stopped, it was not because he had limited physical strength and needed to rest, but because he saw the electronic elevator sign in the center of the corridor, indicating that someone was coming up from the first floor.
In the middle of the night, there are almost no outsiders running into the apartment in the community. In addition, there is only one elevator in the apartment, so the person taking the elevator up now is most likely the girl with a single ponytail who came to investigate.
!
He sat on the stairs directly opposite the elevator and stared at the rising elevator with bated breath. It wasn't until he saw it stopping on the sixth floor that he let out a long sigh of relief.
Now, the girl is probably already at the door of the room with only one body, kicking the door and cursing; and the fat woman holding the rolling pin on the fifth floor will soon run up cursing.
The time is only now——
Zhang Ke rushed to the elevator and pressed the inverted triangle-shaped button heavily, and the elevator that originally stopped at the sixth floor began to slowly rise again.
Almost no one would take the elevator in the middle of the night, and the girl with the ponytail and the fat woman would probably have a quarrel for a while, and would most likely not take the elevator downstairs immediately.
Therefore, this is the perfect time to escape from this apartment on your own!
"Ding, tenth floor——"
