Replace the evil way

Wade through an undercurrent as thick as ink. I don’t know what kind of material is under my feet. I can’t feel the existence of the real thing when I step on it, but I don’t feel weightless or fall. It’s more magical than flying through the clouds.

Finally, a little light appeared ahead, as if it was the exit of this "dark tunnel". Although the light was very weak, it looked as bright as stars in the darkness where you couldn't see your fingers.He Wei approached step by step, staring at the light, and found that it was—a street lamp?

In the blink of an eye, He Wei was in a strange street with a bright moon hanging high above his head. He raised his wrist to look at his watch, but found that the time hadn't moved since he approached the black hole.

Where is this place?

He Wei walked aimlessly along the street and passed the station sign. The place names on it were all familiar local areas. At least he could be sure that he was still in Seungju City.This stop is called "Lianhuafang". Coincidentally, this is the road that He Wei must pass every day to go to work, but this street is unfamiliar, with flower shops, cafes, barbecue stalls, etc., all the shops and the ones in his impression Furnishings are different.

The oven of a barbecue stall ahead was emitting thick smoke from burning charcoal, mixed with the aroma of meat, He Wei walked over and asked, "Master, what time is it?"

"At 11:[-], how many skewers will the young man make?"

"What's the date today?" He Wei asked again.

"What? What date? Oh, I really can't remember, I only know the day of the week." The boss wiped his hands on the apron, picked up his phone and checked, "No. 13."

4 month 13 day.

He Wei was silent, without too much emotion, accepting the fact that he had returned to this day.All this can only show that the Mobius loop has always existed, and what he experienced before was just the calm before the storm, giving him an illusion that he thought he had untied the loop.

He rummaged through his pockets. He didn't bring his mobile phone, and he only had dozens of dollars in cash, so he ordered grilled corn skewers to take care of the boss's business.The boss specially picked a bunch of big corn, and chatted with He Wei while grilling it. He Wei asked him how long he had been doing business here, and the boss said not long ago, about ten years.

"That's really a veteran of this street." He Wei smiled, looked at this street again, and had a wonderful thought in his heart: Could this be the world where Cheng Zesheng lived?

He chatted with the boss fairly well, and asked him to borrow his cell phone by the way.The boss was very forthright and handed over the phone directly. He Wei took it and opened the browser.

When he entered "pianist Cheng Zesheng", all kinds of news popped up, none of which matched the search results, and only one article commended by the police contained the words "Cheng Zesheng".

The result was clear at a glance. He really came to Cheng Zesheng's world. Now he is standing on the same land and breathing the same air as him. I wonder what Cheng Zesheng will think when he finds out?

But now Cheng Zesheng probably doesn't have much impression of him, because there is no murder case, and there will be no intersection between them.

He Wei returned the phone to the boss, and left the barbecue booth with the delicious grilled corn.He looked at the street signs while walking, and turned three streets. The corn had already been eaten. When he threw the corn into the trash can, he looked up and saw the gate of an old community diagonally opposite.

The name of this old community is "Xiangxieli", which has the same effect as the name of Hutaoli. It was at that time that foreign place names were used everywhere in order to make it look western.He Wei remembered the case record that Cheng Zesheng had shown him. The employee, He Wei, lived in the Champs Elysees. He left at 13:9 pm on the 12th and came back at [-]:[-], his clothes slightly changed.He looked down at the shoes and shirt he was wearing, and then at the surveillance camera installed at the gate of the community, and suddenly realized that the surveillance camera at that time should have captured him from another world.

That's because he didn't know how many cycles he was in, because he couldn't find Cheng Zesheng, so he would drink away his sorrows, and he would never appear here soberly like him, approaching the truth of this complicated cycle step by step.

From the end of the first cycle, He Wei had already changed enough details, causing the butterfly effect to affect his whole body. At this point, he didn't mind making some more changes, so he turned and left, as if he had never been there. Never been here.

The 12 o'clock surveillance here will no longer capture him. If the cycle repeats, what will Cheng Zesheng think of this case?

The building is unfamiliar, but fortunately the streets have not changed. He Wei took the subway to Xu'an Road, and after getting off the bus, he found Avenoir, a bar opened by a friend from this world.

It's late at night, and the bar is still full of lights and feasting. This is a gay bar, a paradise for men to hunt for sex. He Wei pushed the door in and received all kinds of gazes. He couldn't help but sigh: Lian Jingyuan here really exposed his sexuality. Simply put, Lian Jingyuan, who is a university teacher, might be surprised when he learns about this.

"Mr. He, why are you here so late tonight?" The bartender made a "please" gesture, "The boss is seeing a guest, please sit down for a while. What do you want to drink? Still the same?"

Sitting at the bar, He Wei didn't understand what the old look was, so he nodded and asked the bartender to make a drink first to quench his thirst.After a while, a cup of blood-red drink was pushed in front of him, with a slice of lemon stuck in the side of the cup, He Wei raised his eyebrows: "Bloody Mary?"

The bartender laughed: "Mr. He really knows how to joke, isn't this the pomegranate juice you usually order?"

"..." He Wei took a sip, it was sweet and sour, not bad, but it didn't suit his taste either.So he asked the bartender to change the glass, and the whiskey had less ice.

The bartender was surprised, as if he had never seen Mr. He take the initiative to order alcoholic drinks, but whiskey.He Wei sat at the bar, sipping wine slowly and waiting for Lian Jingyuan to come out. He could drink well, but he couldn't say how good he was. After drinking a glass of wine, although he was conscious, his cheeks were already flushed.

"How can you order wine?"

With one hand on his shoulder, He Wei turned his head and saw Lian Jingyuan's warm smiling face.Lian Jingyuan sat down beside him: "It's getting late, why didn't you call me before you came?"

"Improvement." He Wei looked at the bartender and pointed at Lian Jingyuan, "I'll make a tequila for your boss."

Lian Jingyuan frowned slightly, and pressed He Wei's hand: "There is something wrong with you, are you drunk?"

He Wei shook his head, it's not so easy to get drunk.Lian Jingyuan stared at him through the lens with gentle eyes, and said, "I always feel that there is something wrong with you, can you tell me?"

In fact, it was not in his plan to come to Lian Jingyuan, but he just wanted to see what his best friend in this world would look like on a whim.The result did not disappoint him. From seeing Lian Jingyuan's eyes, He Wei knew that no matter which parallel universe he was in, Lian Jingyuan was still the same Lian Jingyuan, gentle, handsome and kind, so perfect that he couldn't find a single flaw.

"You, it really is the same no matter where you are." He Wei whispered.

Lian Jingyuan smiled, but his eyes were puzzled.Assuming he had drunk too much, he took the wine glass from his hand and replaced it with soda water.

"What's the matter?" Lian Jingyuan pushed his glasses, "Senior, if you encounter something you can't solve, just tell me, I will never stand by and watch."

He Wei supported his forehead with one hand, slender index finger twirled along the mouth of the cup, and said after a while: "I'm broken in love."

"...Lovebroken?" Lian Jingyuan was stunned, never expecting such a reason.He Wei smiled and said: "Looking at your expression, I must have never been in a relationship before, right? In fact, this breakup is very special, and it is completely irresistible. It is because this world does not give me a chance."

Lian Jingyuan didn't answer, He Wei was drinking soda water, feeling bored, he still wanted to drink.He is very sober now and knows what he is going to do. This is not to use alcohol to drown his sorrows, but with the impetus of alcohol, he may do some bolder things to try to change the cycle.

"Senior, although I don't know exactly what happened, but since there is no fate, it's better not to force it."

"Don't force it? I can't do it." He Wei smiled, and said the words frankly, "Have you ever been in love so far? No, I guess you even have a handful of people you like."

"You won't understand. You know he exists, but you can't see him, you can't touch him, and you only have a double by your side. This feeling can drive people crazy." He Wei raised the cup in his hand, "Just Like this soda, it looks like mint julep, but it lacks the soul of absinthe, and it can't be mint jug anyway."

Lian Jingyuan was speechless for a while, looking at He Wei, his eyes were puzzled and bewildered, as if he didn't understand why the senior suddenly became so talkative and sharp, the gentleness was replaced by force, the conversation between the two was the first The second time is led by him.

"I admit that I don't quite understand, maybe your persistence is right." Lian Jingyuan put his shoulders on his shoulders, sighing in his tone, "Today I always feel that you are different from usual, but such a change is a good sign. "

He Wei smiled, feeling curious for a moment: "What do I usually look like in your eyes?"

Lian Jingyuan picked up a few nice words - shy, simple, cautious, which fell to He Wei's ears as "introverted, self-closing and stupid".He shrugged his shoulders, there is no way, He Wei here has been like that since he was a child, even if the two identities were switched, their personality has been rooted since childhood, and they can't be changed.

In fact, he can be considered a part of this world, but due to some special reasons, he did not continue to live here.Thinking of this, He Wei's thoughts wandered into the sky: If there was no exchange at that time, and he has been living here all the time, would he have developed such a relationship with Cheng Zesheng?

No matter what, this time he will try to find a perfect ending, at least he won't have to struggle alone and fearlessly with Cheng Zesheng.

He Wei looked at the clock on the wall, it was time to leave, Lian Jingyuan sent him out, seeing his blushing cheeks, suggested: "Can you help me get a taxi?"

"Then you might as well give me a ride." He Wei smiled and said, "Do you know how to get to Fulong Mountain?"

Even though Lian Jingyuan didn't understand why the senior was going to the mountains in the middle of the night, he still did his duty as a junior and drove him there.Along the way, He Wei looked at the scenery outside the window, and seemed to be muttering to himself. Even Jing Yuan heard a few words, which were all related to the shops opened on the street.

Four or ten minutes later, Lian Jingyuan's car was stable at the foot of the desolate and uninhabited mountain. He Wei got out of the car, and Lian Jingyuan lowered the car window: "Senior, don't you want me to accompany you?"

He Wei bent over, put his arm on the car window, and said with a smile, "I promise you, your senior will come back safely."

Lian Jingyuan always felt something was wrong, and when he raised his head to meet He Wei's firm eyes, he swallowed the words again.In the middle of the night, the mountain was full of darkness and danger, and he couldn't find anything to defend He Wei for a while. After searching for a long time, he found a piece of unopened hemp rope wrapped in a transparent plastic bag from the car.

"I bought this to decorate clay pottery. You should bring self-defense." Lian Jingyuan paused, "You can use a rope to climb up any pit you fall into."

He Wei stared at the hemp rope, and the image of He Wei, a staff member who died in a murder case in this world, appeared in his mind.

"Okay, I understand." He Wei took the rope and said in a low voice, "If something happens to me, you must remember to get rid of it, I don't want to hurt you."

The uneasiness in Lian Jingyuan's heart became more and more intense: "What are you going to do?"

He Wei looked up into the distance and smiled calmly: "Since there is no encounter, there will be no beginning, so I can only find a way to create an encounter."
