"We can't watch their live broadcasts, and we can't buy gifts for them in any way. Xia Li's life and death can only depend on his fate."
Dong Xie actually wanted to watch the live broadcast of Xia Li and others, but the blood letter clearly stipulated that they could not watch the live broadcast, and they could not contact Xia Li and others. If they violated this, even if they did not perform the blood letter, they would still be killed by the shadow curse.
die.
"I do not quite understand you."
Dong Xie looked out the car window and said: "Now it's time to think about how to fight against the parallel world apartment. Why do you come here? And why did I recently tell you that you should eat and live outside the apartment as much as possible?"
Sitting next to him, she was peeling an orange and said, "Can't you guess it?"
"Are you testing me again? I really can't guess it. Can you tell me?"
"Let me ask you a question. If there is another you in the parallel world apartment, and he can come here now and deal with you, what is the best way?"
"The words written in blood prohibit him from harming me."
"What if he takes a knife, stabs a pedestrian on the street, and then escapes back to a parallel world?"
Upon hearing this, Dong Xie immediately opened his mouth.
"There is very little surveillance in the community where the apartment is located and even around Heituchuan Road. When we are sleeping in the apartment, people in the parallel world just need to kill someone and set a fire, and we will be wanted by the police the next day. Although the residents' criminal behavior
They will not be prosecuted by actual judicial institutions, but if they are active criminals, they will still be arrested by the police unless it is during the execution of the blood letter."
Active crime is the only situation in which residents can be arrested or even prosecuted. If Dong Xie in the parallel world goes to a place where people come and go and is monitored everywhere to kill people, as long as he is not arrested on the spot by the police, the real Dong Xie
He will immediately become a wanted criminal. In this day and age, facial recognition systems are so advanced that if you drive through a red light, you may receive a ticket immediately.
"Now that we are out of town, the alibi can be more perfect." Mu Ziyi put a piece of orange into her mouth, chewed it, picked up the ticket, and said, "All the recent purchases must be kept.
Invoice. The current era of mobile payment has really helped us a lot. Whether it is the ticket or daily expenses, it is paid directly through the account. Even if the police come to us, there is enough evidence to exonerate us."
"You actually thought of this step..." Dong Xie had to admire his mother Ziyi's rigorous thinking, "But going to Z city is not that simple, right? Did you even hide it from Li Yin and the others this time?"
"We don't have enough information, so don't go looking for them yet." Mu Ziyi took another orange and stuffed it into her mouth, and said, "For Li Yin and the others, as the current residents, we will bring some danger to them.
"We cannot bring them valuable information by fighting against each other. Going to them repeatedly will only make them feel that we are desperately trying to hug them. In interpersonal relationships, it is most taboo for any party to make unilateral contributions."
Dong Xie saw that the orange in his mother Ziyi's hand was almost eaten, and he quickly picked up another one and helped her peel it.
Now, they are sitting on the train, and the destination of the train is Z city.
"This time I go to Z city, I have another new idea."
When Dong Xie heard what his mother Ziyi said, he quickly asked: "Tell me, what's your idea?"
Mother Ziyi glanced at Dong Xie again.
"Did you not notice at all? Xia Li's true identity."
She wiped her hands with a tissue and took out a comic from her bag.
On the cover of the comic, the words "Kingdom of Evil Spirits" were written, and Dong Xie's eyes widened when he saw the characters on the cover.
"Isn't this...Xia Li?"
"Yeah." Mu Ziyi pointed to Xia Li on the cover and said, "That's him."
Dong Xie immediately took the comic and started flipping through it.
After a while, he raised his head and looked at his mother Ziyi.
"When did you find out?"
"Don't you know there is something called Baidu in this world?"
"Did you search Xia Li?"
"Xia Li stated that he entered the apartment because his relatives were killed, but never disclosed the details. If it involves a criminal case, there may be records online, and when I searched for this name, I found this comic
.”
When Mu Ziyi said this, she added something in her heart: Ever since that incident, I never trust anyone easily again.
"That……"
"Based on the mission of the black ghost with blood characters that you performed, it is not difficult for me to draw a conclusion." Mu Ziyi pointed at the comic and said: "Xia Li may have been a person here."
Dong Xie took a breath of air.
"Then he...no, he can enter the apartment, then he is a human being. But...can he also be considered a human being?"
"He should be considered a human being."
Dong Xie recalled his favorite novel "Infinite Horror" when he was in college. The protagonist was thrown into the world of horror movies by the Lord God, and could even bring people from the movie world into reality. Later, the author did this
It is explained that the reason why horror movies become reality is due to the influence of a curse. An originally normal parallel world is affected by a curse called "meme", causing the historical trend to become exactly the same as the plot of the movie.
"We already know that parallel worlds exist, so no one can guarantee whether the worlds of novels, movies, and comics are also parallel worlds." Mu Ziyi then analyzed: "So of course Xia Li is a living human being, and he can only
He is just a human being living in a parallel world. On the contrary, after knowing this, his existence becomes more important to us. He may be an important key."
Dong Xie looked at the name of the comic's author - Qiao Chuyi, and the introduction to the comic's author's life on the first page of the comic.
"Qiao Chuyi's hometown is...Z city!"
"That's right. This is why you and I came to Z City."
"Maybe it's a coincidence..."
"I'm leaning towards it not being a coincidence."
Mu Ziyi obviously conducted a very detailed investigation on Qiao Chuyi: "Qiao Chuyi is not a professional art student. The paintings she submitted when she was in college are completely different from what she is now. But now, her painting skills are enough to compete with the best in Japan."
Compared with first-class cartoonists."
"Indeed..." Dong Xie flipped through the comics: "Compared to Obata Takeru and Murata Yusuke, this painter is no less generous."
"So I'm thinking, is this really a painting by Qiao Chuyi? Is there a knife-catcher behind her? If there is a knife-catcher, is the other person a human being, or..."
Although Mu Ziyi did not continue speaking, Dong Xie had already guessed what she wanted to say.
"Perhaps, it's worth investigating Qiao Chuyi. If you get anything from this matter, you might also be able to get a bargaining chip against the residents of the apartment in the parallel world!"
Dong Xie thought, what if everything is really related to Z city?
