Lian Zixin's hand holding the parchment was always trembling.
He seemed to have seen another version of himself from many years ago.
Suddenly, he had an idea: when he entered the apartment for the first time, he received this task with letters written in scarlet. Is all this... a coincidence? Or was it some kind of teasing and ridicule from the apartment?
Maybe he was overthinking it. But what was certain was that he did feel a bitter irony in his heart now.
However, after reading this parchment, he discovered at least one thing from it.
"The one who is killed by de't be killed again."
This sentence is easy to understand in English, and even Han Lei, who has average English scores, can understand it. However, the meaning is really confusing.
Humans killed by demons will not be killed a second time.
Isn’t this nonsense?
Every resident has only one life! Isn’t this a game where you have to load the game all over again?
"This sentence must have some important meaning." Lian Zixin stared at this sentence and said, "Take it out and let Dong Xie take a look. After he looks at it, he may be able to discover something.
"
"How about calling Mu Aishan and Sun Jiamin again?" Han Lei suggested from the side: "Maybe they know something?"
"Then, let me give it a try."
Lian Zixin took out his cell phone, but after thinking about it, no one would answer the call if he dialed the number at the phone booth. So, he called He Lian's number that was written on the mysterious paper before.
But when I dialed out, no one answered.
He called the hospital and the phone box again, but still no one answered the phone.
"Lian Zixin." After thinking for a while, Han Lei said: "If according to Dong Xie's statement, it is really a call across time and space, then what can our connection with them achieve?"
"My inference is that we may be in different parallel time and space."
"parallel?"
Lian Zixin nodded and said: "Parallel time and space is the only quantum physics hypothesis that can explain the grandmother's paradox. In fact, many graphic novels have adopted similar settings."
"Hmm... similar to "Avengers 4"?" Han Lei thought for a while and said: "For example, "Avengers 3" and "Avengers 4" are not fighting the same Thanos, because Iron Man, the United States
The captain and others collected the infinite stones and changed history, resulting in the creation of parallel time and space, so Thanos from another time and space traveled through..."
"Yes, that's what I meant. I didn't watch this movie. I watched it later to pass the time when it was broadcast online."
"In other words, just as the two movies are not about the same Thanos, we, Sun Jiamin and Mu Aishan are not facing the same black-toothed evil spirit?"
"It's possible. In other words, Thanos was originally beheaded by Thor, but if Thanos who traveled through time in "Avengers 4" was not killed by Iron Man by snapping his fingers, but instead killed the Avengers, then
The original future of being beheaded by Thor will not happen. At least, it will not happen to Thanos in parallel time and space."
"Um...so?"
At this moment, even Zi Xin and Han Lei's eyes lit up.
Could it be...
"Let's assume that we, like Thanos, will be beheaded by Thor in the future, and we are the ones who saw the future of being beheaded in advance in "Avengers 4." Then..."
At this time, when he looked at the sentence on the parchment again, Lian Zixin's heart suddenly became clear!
I see!
A person who has been killed once by a demon cannot be killed a second time.
"So that's it!"
Lian Zixin finally understood why the information appeared on that mysterious piece of paper.
"But who wrote that piece of paper?" Han Lei was still a little confused: "Could it be a clue left by the apartment for us?"
"Maybe...but I don't think it's that simple."
Thinking of this, Lian Zixin grabbed the mobile phone in front of him and dialed the number again, but this time no one answered.
Lian Zixin took his cell phone, turned on the flash, and took a few photos of the parchment. After taking the pictures, he placed the parchment on the most conspicuous desk in the room. He was not sure whether it was parallel time and space.
, but if not, Sun Jiamin and Mu Aishan may come here in the future, so leaving this thing to them may give them a way out.
After walking out of the room, I walked cautiously along the corridor again.
He took his mobile phone and looked carefully at the photos he just took, and suddenly noticed something else.
"Corpses are not the same as ghosts,they won't move.When the ghosts e corpses,their teeth revert white,and fall on the place where They are dead.”
At first he didn't pay much attention to this sentence, but now he is a little confused.
What do Corpse and Revert mean? Zixin has no impression of these two words. He can only confirm that one is a noun and the other is a verb.
The meaning of this sentence is that Corpse (still in the plural form) is different from evil spirits in that they cannot move. The following sentence, combined with the context, infers that after the evil spirits turn into corpses, their teeth turn white and fall on them
place of death.
Could it be some kind of proper noun for the devil?
"It would be great if this mobile phone could access the Internet." Lian Zixin was a little reluctant and said, "Let's go and find out if there is an English-Chinese dictionary here. Since you are a doctor, English knowledge is also very important. There are many important medical papers.
All must be written in English.”
"That makes sense!"
Then, they came to the stairs leading to the third floor.
After hesitating for a while, the two of them walked up.
At this time, Lian Zixin had a hunch that the word corpse might be closely related to the fate of his life. At the same time, he made up his mind to learn English well when he went back.
"Han Lei, is the way to survive beyond the scope of ordinary people's knowledge? Not everyone can speak English now."
"Well... I have never encountered this kind of thing before."
The two of them walked up the stairs, but as soon as they arrived upstairs, their hearts trembled.
A door in front was wide open, and the room inside was exactly the same as the room where Xie Xun's body was found in the newspaper!
Holding a cell phone and a lighter to illuminate it, there is indeed a bookshelf inside.
The two of you looked at me, and I looked at you. Finally, Han Lei said: "I'll go, you help me guard the door."
Even Zi Xin couldn't help but admire Han Lei for being a real man. Frankly speaking, at this time, he definitely didn't have the courage.
In the Scarlet Mission, in fact, in addition to IQ, the battle is more about courage! If you don’t have courage, you will often not be able to get the clues to life even if they are placed in front of you.
Han Lei took a lighter and walked into the door.
He didn't look at the bed on one side, where Xie Xun died.
After getting closer to the bookshelf, he started to look.
As long as you find a dictionary and recognize more words there, you may be able to get more clues to life.
Most of them are medical books, mostly surgery-related content.
Finally, when he shined the lighter on the other side of the bookshelf, he finally discovered that there was an English-Chinese dictionary!
He quickly reached out and pulled out the dictionary, and a lot of dust sprayed out. Han Lei quickly covered his mouth and nose with his hands.
There was a thick layer of dust on the cover of the book, and Han Lei immediately wiped it off.
Then, he slowly opened the dictionary.
"C...find C first..."
Han Lei thought of the time when he was learning English as a student. In this era, as long as you download a translation software APP on your mobile phone, it is easy to look up English words. Why is it so troublesome?
He brought the lighter closer to the catalog and scanned it down bit by bit.
"C...on this page..."
The words are arranged one by one in alphabetical order, but it will take some time to translate them like this.
"C...co..."
At this time, both Han Lei and Lian Zixin were extremely nervous!
Because they were so nervous, they even forgot... You can take out the dictionary and read it again!
Because Han Lei was so nervous, even with Lian Zixin behind him, he would still look back at the bed from time to time.
"found it!"
Han Lei finally found the meaning of this word.
The noun explanation of this word is...dead corpse, especially human corpse!
He looked closely at the explanation in the dictionary and was startled.
dead body?
This means: Dead corpses are different from evil spirits. Evil spirits can move, but dead corpses cannot. When the evil spirits turn back into corpses, their teeth will turn back to white, and then they will fall down...
Where they died!
At this moment, a hand stretched out from under the bed behind him!
