Replace the evil way

At 02:30 in the morning, a group of college students carrying backpacks came to explore the silent Fulong Mountain.

"Captain, it's only 02:30, aren't we a little early?"

Lu Zhihua waved his hand: "The expedition order states that after three o'clock, we can record video after three o'clock. I was born and raised in Shengzhou City, and I heard that this house used to be lived by a big entrepreneur, but after it was haunted, I didn't continue to live in it." Go down, let's go in and check first to see what's inside."

"Yes, if it's an ordinary old house, then let's make some ourselves...hehe." The crew-haired man beside him smiled smirk.

Horror video falsification is not new, and the final price of the expedition order can be modified according to the satisfaction of the employer.This time the employer offered a rather high price, what if he was dissatisfied and the price was lowered if he couldn't get anything?Therefore, Lu Zhihua and others have already discussed that if there is no abnormality, they will create some "ghost energy".

As everyone knows, a pair of eyes behind the bushes are staring at them.Watching them enter the mansion, screams sounded after a while, and the crowd squeezed out the door like birds out of a cage. The girl turned pale with fright, and screamed: "Dead, dead! Hurry up and call the police!"

He Wei stood up, left the small road, and went down the mountain. He walked into a public phone booth, opened the address book, and only found the phone number of a reporter who had done an interview.

"Reporter Gu?"

"Oh yes, I'm Gu Meng."

"A murder occurred in the abandoned mansion on Fulong Mountain." He Wei suppressed his voice, trying to change his voice, "The deceased is Cheng Zesheng."

"...Cheng Zesheng? That famous pianist?! If true, it would be an explosive headline! Who are you? Hello?..."

He Wei has hung up the phone.

As long as Gu Meng moves out, those small studios who are watching them and grabbing headlines at any time will wait for the opportunity to act, and the sleeping Fulong Mountain is about to be awakened, and it will be completely lively.

And he will also come to this scene and continue to meet Cheng Zesheng.

He Wei returned to Lian Jingyuan's house. He hadn't closed his eyes since Cheng Ze's death. After doing all this, he fell into the bedroom Lian Jingyuan had prepared for him with a deep sense of exhaustion. Sleep until the sun hangs over the top of the west hill.

There were gentle and shrill meows, one after another, and a group of furry objects leaned against his shoulders. He Wei opened his eyes and collided with Stephen's blue eyes.

"What's wrong?" He Wei rubbed its head, Stephen meowed twice, jumped off the bed, and wagged his tail at He Wei.

He Wei sat up and found that it was already 04:30 in the afternoon.He got up and walked to the living room, the water bowl on the floor was overturned, Stephen rubbed past his legs, squatted in front of the water bowl and looked at He Wei.

What a smart cat.He Wei smiled, added water for him, and took out a cat strip from the snack box, like he used to tease Stephen, unwrapped the cat strip, and patted the position of the bay window.

Stephen jumped up, and licked the snacks with his little pink tongue. He was still not satisfied after eating a cat strip, and barked at He Wei more and more softly.

He Wei hugged it to his lap, stroked it one after another, and finally felt a ray of healing sunshine in his heart that had been shrouded in death.

Lian Jingyuan left a note, lunch is in the refrigerator, let him type it in the microwave after waking up.He has a dinner party organized by the school in the evening, and I'm afraid he will be back later, so he can contact you anytime if you have anything to do.

He Wei opened the refrigerator, inside were three stir-fried dishes that Lian Jingyuan had prepared before going to work, and there was also good chicken soup in the casserole.Lian Jingyuan is quite talented in cooking. In other words, there is nothing bad about a man like him. He also cooks according to the recipe. What others cook may be a buyer's show, but what he cooks may be better than a seller's show. tempting.

After the dish was hot, He Wei tasted it. The taste was light and refreshing, which was his favorite taste.Stephen rubbed against his feet, obviously attracted by the aroma of food in the air, his nose wrinkled and sniffed, He Wei helplessly stroked its head to appease it: "Be obedient, it's too salty for you, you can't eat it .”

Stephen was like a clingy goblin, rubbing against He Wei's palm, screaming more and more charmingly.

Its voice is soft and delicate, and anyone's heart of stone will turn into softness around the fingers.In an instant, He Wei suddenly understood why Lian Jingyuan wanted to keep a pet. After being alone for a long time, he really needed such a family to accompany him.

After eating, He Wei wanted to clean the bloody clothes he had changed, but went to the balcony to see that the coat and clothes had been hung up to dry, and the blood stains on them had been washed off, but edge marks were still left in some places. Cleaning is estimated to take it to the dry cleaners.

He Wei put away the clothes that were drying on the balcony. Suddenly, there was the sound of things being smashed in the kitchen. He hurried over, and saw Stephen was licking the vegetables on the floor, and He Wei looked at He Wei innocently with his round blue eyes. , licking his lips while staring at him.

"How can you be so capable?" He Wei picked up Stephen with his front paws. Stephen was eating happily, but he felt dissatisfied after being picked up. He kicked his hind legs back and forth, leaving a hole on his trousers. A paw print stained with stew.

"..." He Wei took Stephen to the bathroom, washed all four paws first, and put them in the cage.

Half an hour after opening the cage again, He Wei went to Lian Jingyuan's closet to find a pair of khaki slacks. The kitchen cleaned up and folded the clothes before letting Stephen out for activities.

He left a note for Lian Jingyuan to go out, Stephen stood at the door tilting his head, He Wei patted it on the head after putting on his shoes: "Take a good look at the house."

It was getting late, He Wei went to Fusheng Jinlong Garden after leaving Huyuexingchen.

When he and Cheng Zesheng were looking for Cheng Zhenqing everywhere, they came here to see it once. The door outside is a coded fingerprint lock, and Cheng Zesheng's fingerprint can directly enter.But the door to the basement is a dial combination lock. He tried to open it according to the combination he remembered at the time, but he couldn't open it no matter what. It is probably not time to change the combination.

Coming back this time, He Wei found that the outside door was not locked, it was just ajar.He opened the door and went in. It was still this uninhabited rough room, but in the basement, there was a great possibility that Cheng Zhenqing would be there.

He came to the storage room to find the hidden door, and unlocked it according to the code he remembered. He tried three times, but the door didn't open.

The password is wrong?Why is it wrong?

He Wei frowned, got up and left after a while, found a public phone booth outside Fushengjinlongyuan, and dialed a series of numbers.

"Ghost Craftsman Yang, come to Fusheng Jinlong Garden and have a big order."

---

He Wei took a wad of cash and put it in his pocket, waiting slowly for Guijiang Yang to unlock it.Encountering this kind of complicated dial lock, Yang Guijiang sweated, and He Wei leaned against the window with his arms folded, telling him to open it slowly, not in a hurry.

Guijiang Yang stared at He Wei, and then looked at the house, a rough house, no one lived in it, but there was a basement with a good lock, it was not easy at first glance.This man was wearing a mask. He couldn't see his face clearly, but he could tell from his voice that he was a young man. He must be doing something shady. Otherwise, who would cover up like this at night at a normal people's congress?

Finally, after Yang Guijiang's back was soaked, the lock finally opened.He breathed a sigh of relief, and He Wei handed him a wad of cash and added five hundred more to express his gratitude.

The hole in the basement is dark, and only a concrete staircase leads underground.He Wei walked down, and at a glance, he could see that there was no one in the basement at the end, there were not many daily necessities, and the safe was still there, but it was empty after opening, and the envelope was not inside.

Could it be that Cheng Zhenqing hasn't come here to hide at this time?

"I've got the timing right, and I'll see you as soon as I get back."

A familiar voice sounded from behind, He Wei turned his head, and Cheng Zhenqing, wearing a peaked cap, walked in, holding a supermarket bag in his hand, which contained a lot of instant noodles, beer, ham sausage, and some braised vegetables, as if he had just purchased it.

"I know you will come today, I bought beer and appetizers specially, sit down and chat?"

As soon as Cheng Zhenqing put the things down, he felt a gust of wind blowing, and then he was pressed against the wall.He Wei held up his collar, his eyes full of hostility: "Did you kill Cheng Zesheng?!"

Cheng Zhenqing was innocent: "Officer He, when you interrogated me, I said that I have been here from the 13th to today, and I have never left except when I went shopping."

He Wei stared into his eyes. Cheng Zhenqing was a man of excellent mental quality and was good at disguising. If he opened his eyes and told lies, he might not be able to tell.But he still didn't let go of Cheng Zhenqing, and asked, "Where have you been all these days? You know everything but you don't want to tell me. If you could show up earlier, Cheng Zesheng wouldn't have died!"

Instead of feeling guilty, Cheng Zhenqing showed a strange smile: "Who told you that if I show up, he won't die?"

"Not only will he die, but you will too."

He Wei froze, and gradually lost his strength.Cheng Zhenqing pushed his hand away, took out a can of beer from the bag, opened it, and handed it to him: "You should sit down, let's chat for a while?"

---

In the shabby basement, the only low table in the room was used to place stewed vegetables. He Wei and Cheng Zhenqing sat on the concrete floor with two old newspapers under their buttocks.

"I haven't been anywhere recently, I just wandered around places you didn't find. I came here on the 13th, which is only two days earlier than you." Cheng Zhenqing pointed upstairs, "And I know the password and the key , I will take the blame for you during the interrogation."

"..." He Wei sneered, "Then I still have to thank you?"

"Hey, you're welcome, you're welcome, it's easy."

"Why is the password wrong?"

"Because this detail has nothing to do with you, if you change it, it won't affect you." Cheng Zhenqing smiled, "So I will change the password every time, so that you can find Craftsman Yang to unlock it conveniently."

He Wei heard the word "every time" again, but this time he had no doubts, because it was obvious that Cheng Zhenqing had experienced this complete cycle, and had experienced it more than once.

Cheng Zhenqing dipped his fingers in beer and wrote "13" on the table.

"13 times, I have followed you back and forth 13 times."

He Wei suddenly remembered that when Cheng Zhenqing was first interrogated, the code words he typed and the shaking watch made people think that he was implying that after 12 o'clock, who would have expected that he was implying that time had gone back 12 times?

"When does your time period start?" He Wei asked.

"According to the complete calculation, it is from April 4st to June 1th. There are also people who come back halfway. For example, if you die, the cycle will start again." Cheng Zhenqing shrugged, "It's strange, after I came back , Others seem to have lost their memory. I am the only one who clearly remembers the whole process, time and time again, every time clearly."

"The first time Zesheng died, I thought he was a pianist in this world. Although my relationship with him was not as deep as that of my original brother, I would feel sad when he died. In the end...the one who died was actually my original brother. .”

Cheng Zhenqing smiled and looked at He Wei: "Every time you ask angrily like this whether I killed my brother, but if you think about it carefully, how could the murderer be me? I have hinted at you a lot before. Once, it doesn’t matter if I died once, the only goal is to save my brother.”

He Wei noticed that he called the pianist and Cheng Zesheng differently.He would call the pianist by his first name directly, but he would call Cheng Zesheng "brother".This detail is really too difficult to detect. He Wei had never doubted the identity of the corpse before, so he took it for granted that he wanted to save the pianist. He never thought that he wanted to save Cheng Zesheng from another world.

It turned out that since Cheng Zhenqing was caught, he had been trying his best to give various hints.But only when He Wei stepped into this cycle and realized the essence of this situation, did he suddenly understand the previous conversations with a huge amount of information.

He Wei lowered his head: "I must save him."

Cheng Zhenqing put his hand on his shoulder: "I know, you and him are lovers, and he blocked a bullet for you. But you don't have to feel guilty, just like you asked me why I didn't show up to remind you sooner , Now let me tell you, it’s not that I don’t want to, but that I can’t.”

Cheng Zhenqing has been trying to save Cheng Zesheng since he first discovered this cycle.He tried various methods, among which reminder was the first choice. He took the initiative to find He Wei and Cheng Zesheng who had been brought back because of time travel, but the result was that the two died together in the mansion, and the Mobius ring did not. No snips, because he's back on April 4th.

The second time, he tried to only contact Cheng Zesheng, telling him everything before going back in time, Cheng Zesheng did not die in the mansion, he died in an accident earlier.

The third time, Cheng Zhenqing tried to only contact He Wei, but He Wei didn't tell Cheng Zesheng, and he didn't go to the mansion with him.On April 4th, there was no murder case in the mansion. On April 14th, He Wei was shot and died while performing a mission, and He Wei who came back disappeared.

……

Repeated failures made Cheng Zhenqing gradually grope for some ways in frustration and despair. He found that he could not use his own power to change this cycle. The key point of this cycle was He Wei. Once he interfered and modified his history , that is bound to produce a more chaotic ending.As long as He Wei dies, the cycle will restart from the time when the homicide occurred on April 4; Complete a full cycle process.

"It's like the butterfly effect. Before going back, I have too much influence on you, and neither you nor Zesheng will have good results."

He Wei was silent for a long time before asking: "What happened later? You must have tried not to modify my basic idea, but only gave me vague hints. How many times have you tried this?"

Cheng Zesheng compared a number - 3 times.

Starting from the ninth time, he tried some very subtle hints, which seemed to escape the eyes of death, and made He Wei gradually realize that he was in this situation.This is indeed more effective, because these three times He Wei completed three complete cycles safely and smoothly, and met with him to discuss the solution. Unfortunately, this situation is still not solved, and it is not known when it will be solved.

"The key point is on me?" He Wei muttered to himself, "Then what should I do to save him?"

Cheng Zesheng leaned over and asked in a low voice: "Guess why you are the protagonist, but you can't save all the memories when you look back?"

"……why?"

I saw Cheng Zhen smiled lightly: "Actually, what I said is a complete cycle, which is divided into two parts. The first time is now, and the second time is after June 6. You are different from me, your memory Only two backtracking can be maintained."

He Wei gradually opened his eyes wide, and grabbed his arm: "You mean I can really go back at that point in time?"

"That's right, you still have another chance to save him. But if you don't succeed this time, where will you go now, I don't know, but the whole cycle will start all over again."
