Replace the evil way

At this moment, the fog has cleared, the moon is bright and the stars are sparse and quiet, the mansion is shrouded in the silvery moonlight, and the gorgeous baroque buildings standing in the mountains, the exquisite coats have been eaten away by the years, like a gray-haired old woman The beautiful face is gone, the dry cheeks are left with gullies eroded by wind and frost, and the two floor-to-ceiling windows are like hollow eyes sunken, staring at the uninvited guest in front.

He Wei is standing in front of the mansion. This mansion is a monster that can distort time and space and cause Cheng Zesheng's death. He goes back again and again. Tragedy happened.

If nothing else happened, Cheng Zesheng and that He Wei were at the five o'clock position behind, watching him and guessing his identity.He had been lucky at first, thinking that the man in black might be someone else, but with the facts in front of him, he was powerless to struggle, and he had to admit that maybe in the previous cycle, it was he who accidentally killed Cheng Zesheng.

And Cheng Zhenqing's disappearance is not known whether it was accidental or inevitable. Perhaps as he said, people outside the protagonist of the cycle cannot get in touch with the scene of the crime. Even if they find the mansion, they are in a different time and space, which cannot prevent the murder from happening.

He Wei made up his mind, it was his fate after all, he should face it, and escaping would not change the ending.Stretching out his hand to press the brim of his hat, He Wei walked steadily to the courtyard gate of the mansion, put his hand on the railing soaked in copper green, and gently pushed it open.

He walked to the main entrance of the mansion along the path paved with bluestone slabs, and took off the rusty lock. He didn't wear gloves or a mask. He actually had some preparations in his pocket, but he didn't think it was necessary.He Wei in the past knew his existence. With his shrewdness, he should have guessed the true identity of the man in black from the moment he saw himself appear.

The mansion was dark and quiet, only the moonlight passing through the floor-to-ceiling windows spread a layer of frost on the floor.He Wei looked around, and his eyes fell on the floor cabinet. Cheng Zhenqing had taken him to hide here, and he was hesitating whether he should follow the cycle of last time, hide in the cabinet and wait for the two to come in.

But the biggest variable this time is, he doesn't have a murder weapon, who else can kill Cheng Zesheng?

If you don't follow the script and have a showdown with Cheng He, what will happen in the future?

At this moment, a gunshot exploded beside him, and then the glass of the French window on the balcony shattered.

He Wei was surprised and turned his head immediately, but he didn't see anyone.The door of the mansion was pushed open, and there were footsteps, as if someone had walked into the mansion, but at the same time, he couldn't see who was coming, he could only feel a tense breath, and even his own heart thumped. Boom, boom, jump up.

what happened?

Another shot was fired, and Cheng Zesheng's voice sounded:

"He Wei! Come here! It's a trap!"

He Wei subconsciously walked over quickly and walked to the center of the living room, when the third gunshot rang out.

Bright red blood gradually appeared on the shirt on his chest, and He Wei touched his chest, panicked: This is not his blood, he was not injured, was it Cheng Zesheng who was shot?But where is he? !Why can't I see it!

The sweet smell floating in the air became more and more intense, and a pool of blood appeared on the floor, spreading continuously.He Wei's hands were stained with blood and trembled slightly, as if he had seen Cheng Zesheng's body in front of him, his face was pale and lifeless, his eyes were slightly squinted, and he would never wake up again.

He Wei's knees softened and he knelt on the floor.Although he couldn't see what happened, his sense of smell had a profound memory. He remembered that what happened just now was the tragic death of Cheng Zesheng in the last cycle.

The fog that had just dissipated began to thicken again.

For some reason, even though he was in the mansion, the fog was so thick that he couldn't see his fingers.He Wei bit his lip, closed his eyes and shook his head, forcing himself to calm down.No, this is what happened in the last cycle, and he has retraced it again!Cheng Zesheng is not dead yet, he will not die!

Even though his hands were trembling, He Wei managed to check the time. Sure enough, at 2:50, a long time had passed since he saw the mansion until he came in, but no time had passed.

Something was wrong here, not the real world, or the world he was in.He Wei stood up on his knees and began to walk and feel around. The fog was so thick that it covered the moonlight, he couldn't see anything, he stepped on the wet pool of blood, every step he took, Cheng Zesheng told him to come here cry.

In the quiet and frightening dense fog, He Wei heard a sound of footsteps approaching from far to near.The footsteps stopped, and a hazy figure appeared in front of him. He Wei couldn't see who it was. He lowered his head and saw only a pair of feet, wearing blue sneakers with snakeskin patterns on the surface. He remembered that he also had a pair.

A pair of cool hands held his hand, and stuffed a cold metal object into the palm of his hand.

"Your gun, here it is."

"Who are you?" He Wei touched the cold barrel, this is a real gun, completely different from the foolish toy gun in his pocket.He didn't bring a gun back because he didn't want the murder to happen, so why force it on him now?

There was a push on the back, and the voice said again, "Go, you know what to do."

He Wei staggered, and there was a crisp sound of trees under his feet. He was stunned for a while, and looked down, and found that the place where he was standing was not a mansion, but a grass covered with dead branches.

He trembled, as if waking up from a dream, and looked up again. There was no fog, no blood, and the mansion was still opposite, but he stood where he was, without moving a step.

But there was an extra real gun in his hand. By the moonlight, He Wei found that it was a Type 92/, and he had a vague feeling that it might be the one that killed Cheng Zesheng.

He Wei clenched his gun tightly, recalling everything that happened just now, and suddenly understood why He Wei in the previous cycle wanted to kill himself to break the cycle.

Because he had to do something, if he just walked into the mansion calmly and nothing happened, he might fall into an even more chaotic and terrifying overlapping chaos.

He Wei put on a mask and gloves, pressed down the brim of his hat, and walked towards the mansion again.

---

At ten minutes before three o'clock, Cheng Zesheng and He Wei witnessed the man in black entering outside the mansion, and they were silent to each other.

"I guess it's me in the future." He Wei said in a low voice, "I suspected that he killed the pianist before, because the murder weapon was in his hands, and now he appears at this time, it is definitely not a coincidence."

Cheng Zesheng objected: "No, the murderer must not be him."

"Why are you so sure?"

"Because - he is you, how could you kill someone who has nothing to do with you?"

"..." He Wei stared at him and reiterated solemnly, "I told you, he is him and I am me, don't confuse us. So far, what he has done has puzzled me, and he and We don't know whether there are conflicts behind the scenes among the pianists, so don't draw conclusions so early, I'm afraid your trust will be crushed to pieces."

Cheng Zesheng met his eyes and sighed helplessly. He Wei was too hostile to his future self, which made him a little confused. Why would someone hate him so much?

"Bah!"

Suddenly there was a gunshot in the mansion, and Cheng Zesheng stood up with a "swipe" and stepped out of the bushes: "I'll go in and have a look!"

"Hey!" He Wei hurriedly followed, his heart beating faster.what happened?Why did he shoot when there was no one inside?

After the two entered the mansion, they found that there was no one in the mansion, so they began to check for traces.However, what they didn't know was that He Wei was hiding in a low floor cabinet and had a panoramic view of all this.

He looked at the figure of Cheng Zesheng squatting on the ground to check the footprints, and then at the back of He Wei checking the broken balcony glass, and was racing against time to make a decision.

Putting the gun in his hands meant that he was destined to kill a person.Who should he point his gun at?If he still chooses his past self, maybe the rules of paradox will allow Cheng Zesheng to die instead of him. If Cheng Zesheng is killed... then what is the point of him coming back to save people?

The words "reincarnation, death, and salvation" kept alternating in his mind, and He Wei was almost driven crazy. Why did he make such a choice?If he and Cheng Zesheng had to choose one or the other, he would rather die himself!

He Wei was taken aback, a strange idea suddenly popped up in his mind.

Once this idea appeared, he couldn't stop the car. He gritted his teeth, and he would never know the result if he didn't try.After getting out of the base cabinet, He Wei raised his arms, aiming the gun at Cheng Zesheng.

Cheng Zesheng's expression was surprised, and he met his eyes, but he was not afraid, but asked softly, "...what's the danger?"

He Wei stared at him, trying to suppress the pain in his eyes. Cheng Zesheng felt puzzled, stood up and walked slowly: "What happened? Why did you..."

"do not come!"

He Wei stopped coldly, but Police Officer He who was standing by the balcony was stunned: "Hey! He Wei! Why are you crazy?! He is not a pianist, he is Cheng Zesheng from another world!"

"I know." He Wei said calmly, took a deep breath, "I'm going to kill him."

Cheng Zesheng was puzzled, and kept looking at He Wei with confusion in his eyes.He felt that He Wei pointed the gun at him for some reason, even though he was not allowed to pass by, he would not listen, and he still moved forward facing the gun: "Put the gun down first, and tell me what's the matter, Can't we work it out together?"

He Wei smiled, with a bitter smile hidden under the mask. He wanted to pull the trigger with his fingers several times, but he couldn't.He never thought that he would point a gun at Cheng Zesheng so directly and kill the person he loves the most with his own hands. This is several times more painful than watching him die while blocking the gun for himself.

But—is an opportunity that might unravel the loop.

He Wei gritted his teeth, and finally pulled the trigger slowly, "Boom!", just as the bullet was discharged, he was hugged and knocked aside, and the shot successfully missed.The other He Wei rushed forward and pinned him to the ground. He was still terrified when he saw the bullet holes on the ground smoking gunpowder.

"You actually want to kill Cheng Zesheng?!"

He Wei sneered: "Didn't you see it? Still want to ask?"

The two He Wei rolled into a ball on the ground, Officer He tried his best to snatch the gun from He Wei's hand, and He Wei, not to be outdone, wrestled with him.Cheng Zesheng watched anxiously from the sidelines, trying to separate them but couldn't find a chance to do so.At the very moment, another gunshot rang out, and the two wrestling people fell silent, and pools of blood gradually spread on the floor below them.

He Wei's chest was bleeding continuously, his white shirt was soaked with blood, and his life was constantly passing with the blood flowing out.His consciousness gradually blurred, Cheng and He panicked and surrounded him.

"Hey! How are you doing?!"

"I don't know why I accidentally shot you, I didn't shoot!"

Seeing their flustered appearance, He Wei curled his lips, trying to say something but couldn't make a sound.

It is true that He Wei did not fire the gun. He pressed his hand and pulled the trigger.

He cannot kill his past self, but he can be killed by his past self.

This time - I don't know if I made the right bet.

Consciousness became more and more hazy, He Wei closed his eyes, and fell into the hazy and chaotic darkness.
