Chosen Prophet [Unlimited]

It was still dark outside the windows on either side of the corridor.

There are no stars or moon outside the window, and there seems to be no wind between the exchanges.

This train seems to be traveling in the vacuum of space.

In the No. 2 carriage, the bright lights almost turned everyone's face into a cold white.

There was a high-frequency "rustling" sound in the air, it was the sound of Bai Sinian taking notes.

He has figured out the key points and is sorting out his thoughts with the help of pen and paper.

On the opposite side of him, after Duan Yi expressed that he wanted to understand, Yun Hao beside him also quickly reacted: "So that's the case, I also understand."

On the side, Kang Hanyin glanced at Bai Sinian's notes, and immediately took over: "I understand. So that's how it is."

"No, what..." Wu Junlan was taken aback, as if she hadn't reacted yet, but soon she also smiled, "Well, I understand."

After a while, Zha Congfei and Yin Yingying nodded back and forth: "Yes, I see."

The only one who didn't make a sound was Peng Cheng.

He patted himself on the head, glanced at everyone one by one with very surprised eyes, and said in surprise after a while: "No, what do you understand?"

Glancing at Peng Cheng, Duan Yi explained: "Do you still remember the small copy of 3-1? What happened to that space, you understand now?"

"Remember, understand! That room is probably some kind of consciousness space formed by a middle-aged woman before she died. So there are some unreasonable and unrealistic things in it, such as notebooks and ID cards filled with '10'. "

Speaking of this, Peng Cheng's eyes suddenly widened, "Oh, I see, the photos brought by Bai Sinian disappeared out of thin air, so that space is not real, but some kind of consciousness space?"

"Yes." At this time, it was Ming who was sitting next to Duan Yi who spoke.

As soon as he heard tomorrow's talk, Peng Cheng shrank his shoulders.

When he raised his head and touched tomorrow's eyes, Peng Cheng's whole body trembled, as if all the hairs on his body stood up alertly.Alertness, panic, and suspicion were written all over him.

From Duan Yi's point of view, Peng Cheng's behavior is really strange - Xiaotian is so gentle and cute, why is Peng Cheng afraid when he sees him?

Tomorrow, he raised his eyelids, took a light look at Peng Cheng, and said, "Actually, we can use the concept of dreams to explain this space. Have you ever dreamed?"

Peng Cheng said in a very low voice: "Cough, I did, I did..."

I will say it again tomorrow: "There will be very strange scenes or phenomena in the dream. Everything that happened in the 3-1 room can actually be explained by the dream. For example, the blood that suddenly appeared, the blood only wet the scarf, but did not touch it. Go to the diary under the scarf. These phenomena seem illogical at first glance, but if we connect them to the real situation, we can make the underlying connection.

"As Brother Xiaoyi analyzed last time, the reason there is no blood in the diary is because the diary was not carried by the mother. This matter is illogical in the dream alone, but it exists objectively in reality Phenomenon.

"Objective facts, projected into dreams, will definitely react. Therefore, reasoning from reality to dreams requires testing our ability to associate and observe, but this is relatively easy. Conversely, analyzing reality backwards from dreams, There is a certain degree of difficulty.

"Actually, we want to analyze the small copy of 3-2, which is to push back from the dream to the reality. There are some phenomena that seem illogical at first glance. If we think about it from another angle, we can find a way to discover the underlying logic behind them, and make them If you look back at reality, you will find the truth.”

After being dazed for a long while, Peng Cheng said, "I understand the truth. But...how do I push it backwards?"

This time it was Duan Yi who answered the call.

He said: "This is exactly what we are going to discuss together. First of all, I need to confirm one thing with everyone. Assuming that Bai Sinian has found most of the key clues, and there are no clues pointing to ghosts, then this dungeon really has nothing to do with ghosts." Do you still have doubts about this?"

After everyone shook their heads, Duan Yi said: "Okay, then our subsequent reasoning will be based on this. Since ghosts do not exist, the murderer must be a human being. This is a man-made murder case. Then who is the murderer must be One of the key points we're going to find.

"There are only so many people in room 3-2. Assuming there is no external intervention and the murderer is in that space, then there are two possibilities. The first possibility is that the murderer is a student, and he is among the few people playing the four-corner game."

After thinking for a moment, Duan Yi said again: "The person who died the first time was Xiao Shuang, and the person who died the second time was Xiao Ping, then the murderer is probably Xiao Short who invited us to play games and has always been very lively. Unless the second time When she played the four-corner game three times, she was the one who died, so we can directly rule out this possibility.

"The second possibility, as my intuition told me at the beginning, is that the murderer is among the four sleeping people on the left. Regarding this point, we have already speculated about the murderer's line of action."

Peng Cheng said: "Maybe the murderer is Xiao Short? After all, we have analyzed the second possibility before, and there are many doubts. Didn't you say that, you didn't hear a sound, and those people couldn't commit crimes in the dark night." .Is it possible that this can be ruled out directly?"

"No." Duan Yi dismissed Peng Cheng's analysis briefly and forcefully, looked at him and said, "You forgot one thing. Xiaotian explained to you just now that room 3-2 is the consciousness space. Before we were in It is this key point that is overlooked when conducting various analyses.”

Peng Cheng looked at Duan Yi uncertainly: "So..."

"So the homicides that happened in the consciousness space cannot be analyzed with common sense." Duan Yidao, "This is the consciousness space, or a dream, a projection of reality. Think about it, playing this game in reality should not be easy to use. Cardboard to create a small space, right? That’s too much of a joke. Also, when you actually play this game, there must be no one sleeping next to you? Even if someone does sleep, can they keep sleeping so dead?”

Peng Cheng thought for a while: "Well... a group of top students are playing this game, the purpose is to know in advance how much they scored in the high school entrance examination. They are very serious about recruiting ghosts. Then, they will also do a lot for this game. Prepare. They should choose an empty classroom or other place to play this game. In order to successfully recruit ghosts, there must be no one around them...so..."

On the side, Bai Sinian interjected: "The murderer is one of the students playing the game, I think the possibility of this is very small. If the murderer is Xiao Short, this game is too simple, not to mention, if this is the case , How do we break the game? It seems that we can’t break the game just by finding the murderer. At least I didn’t think of a way to clear the level.

"I still tend to our initial assumption that the murderer is killing the students who played the four-corner game one by one. Corresponding to our risk of death, that is, after three students have been killed after three rounds of the game, the next round will be the next round. Here we are. This way, from a game standpoint, everything just works out.

"I am therefore inclined to believe that the murderer was among the four sleeping persons."

"Well... indeed—" Duan Yi thought for a while, "Actually, this is the most reasonable guess."

Frowning and thinking for a while, Duan Yi said again: "In room 3-1, there is only a middle-aged woman, so we can easily imagine that it is her consciousness space. But it is different now, we have so many characters, Whose conscious space do you think that is?

"I tend to think that this space of consciousness is one of the three students playing the game. After all, their faces, movements, words, and expressions are very clear. But the four sleeping people, from head to toe Tail only showed a back. This means that the master of the consciousness space does not understand them. The only impression they left on him was that they slept with their backs to themselves, and there was nothing else."

When he said this, Duan Yi turned his head and looked at tomorrow, as if he wanted to hear his opinion.

After receiving his gaze, he said tomorrow, "The space of consciousness must not be the four sleeping people. I agree with that. However, the owner of the space of consciousness is not necessarily the three students playing games."

Hearing this, Duan Yi looked at him and smiled. "I see."

Peng Cheng blinked and looked at Duan Yi, then looked at the people around him, and immediately made a gesture of restraint: "Here we go again! You are going to play 'you all understand but I don't understand'! No way! ! Can you save me some face!"

Looking at Peng Cheng, Duan Yi explained: "Don't forget the photo Bai Sinian found. There are four people in it. There is one person we haven't seen before, and that is the girl with the flower on her head."

"Yes. We call her Xiaohua." Peng Cheng said, "You mean... this consciousness space belongs to Xiaohua? But how can you be sure?"

"Consciousness, or the main content of the dream, must be related to the appeal of the dream owner. In room 3-1, what is the appeal of the middle-aged woman? She is not regretting giving her daughter a skirt, but regretting that she should not buy that cup Coffee. So not only does she exist in the dream herself, but she’s re-enacting a scene where she stains her dress with coffee, and she can’t wash the stain off her dress.”

Duan Yi said: "Then it must be the same reason to switch to the 3-2 dungeon. What we have to think about is the appeal of the dream owner, or we have to figure out what the meaning of this space exists... This person set up this Space, what do you want?"

While Duan Yi was asking questions, he was actually thinking.

Frowning and thinking for a while, Duan Yi said: "If the owner of the dream is just one of Xiao Duan, Xiao Ping, and Xiao Shuang, and he designs his companions to die while he himself dies, and everyone dies in different game rounds, what's the point?

"The mother in room 3-1 let herself die over and over again, and she was regretting that cup of coffee, which she thought was the cause of her death. What about the character in room 3-2? He designed Entering the game and experiencing death by yourself, is it regretting that you shouldn’t play this game? I don’t think it’s that simple.”

After confirming a certain guess, Duan Yi's tone became a little more certain.

"So...different from 3-1, the real owner of the dream in 3-2 is more likely to be the person who never appeared—Xiao Hua. The four people on the left who are sleeping with their backs to everyone, from the beginning to the end they I have been sleeping all the time because Xiaohua has only seen them sleeping. As for why they appear in the dream, let's not analyze it for now, let's talk about the three people playing the game...

"Xiao Duan, Xiao Ping, Xiao Shuang, Xiao Hua sees all the actions of these three people. Because Xiao Hua is playing games with them. Xiao Hua remembers what they said and did in the game. So In her dream, these people appeared, recreating some of the things they had done in reality.

"From this point of view, there are answers to some of the anomalies I found in the Four Corners game before."

Duan Yi continued to explain: "Before the game started, it was Xiao Short who went to turn off the headlights. When she came back, in order to open the door made of cardboard and enter the game area, she took the flashlight and put it away after use. In the pocket of her clothes. But when we finished the game and needed to use the light, she asked us if we had a flashlight. I recalled that the pocket of her clothes that used to hold the flashlight was no longer bulging. It was as if the flashlight disappeared out of thin air. .

"This matter is not very logical. Thinking about it now, is it possible that Xiao Hua didn't show up in the dream because Xiao Hua didn't know the details of the process?

"In the real world, Xiaohua once saw Xiao Short picking up the flashlight and walking towards her, and saw her put the flashlight in her pocket. And when she needed to use the flashlight, she heard Xiao Short asking Do you have a flashlight, her pockets were flat and empty by then.

"As for where the flashlight in Xiao Short's pocket went and what happened in between, Xiao Hua doesn't know, so in this consciousness space or dream scene, the matter of where Xiao Short's flashlight went is directly omitted , became a bug-like existence.

"Because of this, at least this consciousness space must not be small and short. Otherwise, for the ins and outs of the flashlight, there will probably be a more detailed display process in the consciousness space."

Peng Cheng digested Duan Yi's words for a while, and then asked: "But if the real owner of the dream is Xiao Hua, then what is her appeal? Or, what is the meaning of this dream?"

"I think the summer camp is a real thing, and the four-corner game must have happened. And they played this game, mostly during the summer camp. After the high school entrance examination, in order to adapt to the study and life of high school in advance, the four students participated in a bridging class. Summer camp. At that time, the scores of the senior high school entrance examination had not yet come out. They were anxious and decided to recruit ghosts through the four-corner game and ask ghosts.

"In terms of time and logic, this matter is completely established. As for Xiaohua's appeal..."

Speaking of this, Duan Yi turned his head to look at tomorrow again, "According to my thinking... this is related to the secret of the train we talked about before."

"Well." Tomorrow, I received Duan Yi's gaze and looked at the rest of the people, "Before we cleared the 3-1 small dungeon, it was actually an end to the middle-aged woman's obsession. So she arrived at the station. The number of the platform is 20011021-33119. We can separate this number into two parts. The first half is very similar to the date, October 2001, 10."

"What about the back?" It was Wu Junlan who asked.

Tomorrow said: "Latitude and longitude."

"Latitude and longitude? But..." Kang Hanyin seemed puzzled.

I will say it again tomorrow: "There is a detail that you may have overlooked. There are two lines drawn on the sign on the platform. One is vertical and the other is horizontal. The two lines are at 90 degrees, which looks like three o'clock. Minute and hour hands."

Hearing this, Bai Sinian was a little excited, and couldn't help but patted the table. "These two lines imply directions! North and East!"

"Yes." Nodding tomorrow, "the middle-aged woman's ID card has her address written on it, and she lives in Huaicheng. The latitude is 33 degrees north and longitude 119 degrees east, corresponding to the reality, which is almost within the range of Huai'an, Jiangsu. That's right too."

Yun Hao couldn't help frowning and asked: "Place, time... Can these constitute some kind of coordinates?"

"Well." Ming Ming said, "It is likely that the underworld records the coordinates of the time and place of someone's death. Therefore, the passengers on this train may all be souls. The middle-aged women in 3-1 are like this, and 3-2 is also like this. It would make sense. So—”

This time Peng Cheng finally understood.

He exclaimed: "So, if the owner of the dream space 3-2 is Xiao Hua, Xiao Hua is already dead! Ah... this means... God, is that what I think?!"

On the side, Bai Sinian said: "Four students participated in the summer camp. In order to know the results of the high school entrance examination, they played the four-corner game. Then...Xiaohua died in this game. Her appeal is...she wants to find the The murderer! So she, she tried her best to restore everything that happened at the murder scene in her consciousness space!

"In this way, some of our previous conclusions will be overturned. Because the murderer may still be one of Xiao Duan, Xiao Ping, and Xiao Shuang. However, in Xiao Hua's consciousness, she ruled out the possibility that the three of them are the murderer .So when the dream is opened repeatedly, they will die one by one, and all point to the four people on the left.

"We can only say that in Xiaohua's consciousness, the murderer is one of the four sleeping people!"

"Yes. I agree." Duan Yi said, "Because of this, all the doubts I raised at the beginning have to be completely overturned. At that time, I mentioned that there was no light in the game place. How did the murderer see everything so that he could commit the murder? Then For a moment I overlooked one thing - I was in consciousness space.

"I can't see the light because Xiaohua, the owner of the consciousness space, can't see the light. So is it possible that they were blindfolded when they really played this game? It's just that Xiaohua forgot to restore this detail in the dream? "

Exhaling a breath, Duan Yi said: "Secondly, I can't hear any sound, and I don't think the murderer can come and kill without a sound. Besides, the game space surrounded by the cardboard is so small, how could someone kill in front of me, and I just Didn't even notice? Again, when I was analyzing this, I forgot that I was in the conscious space.

"Everything I felt in 3-2 was actually just a projection of what Xiaohua felt in the real world.

"The game space in 3-2 is very small, but the reality is not necessarily the case. In the real world, they are likely to play this game in a large classroom. In that case, the range of motion of the murderer is much larger. I did not Hearing the sound but not feeling the movement can only mean that Xiao Hua failed to notice the abnormality at that time.

"In the space of consciousness, Xiao Shuang in front of me is only a few steps away from me. The murderer can't kill in front of me, and I have nothing to investigate. But in the real world, Xiao Shuang may be more than half a classroom away from Xiao Hua In that case, the murderer appeared, but Xiao Hua didn't notice any abnormal movement, but it was too normal."

"I understand. Xiaohua constructs the consciousness space and asks us to participate in the four-corner game in order to show us everything she sees from her perspective, let us find the murderer, right! If we can't find the murderer for a long time, she will be in the Hurt us in the conscious space?"

Peng Cheng stood up suddenly, "But who is the murderer? If we find the murderer, how should we tell Xiaohua?"

"I agree with most of your points. But I have to raise a possibility."

This time it was Dongfang Yu who spoke.

I just heard her say: "This is Xiaohua's consciousness space. Before she died, her obsession was to find the murderer, so she built the consciousness space and restored everything she saw before she died. This is the first time the player enters the perspective of this game. It's Xiao Hua's perspective. I completely agree with this analysis. In this case, Xiao Duan, Xiao Ping, Xiao Shuang, and the four sleeping people may all be the real culprits. But there is actually another possibility."

"This possibility is that, in fact, these four students were all killed. It's just that only Xiaohua's consciousness has formed a 3-2 consciousness space. The reason is that as Duan Yi said, Xiaohua did not appear in this space. In addition, Little Hua didn't know the details of that little flashlight.

"Of course, the possibility I raised does not affect the final reasoning very much. Because the most suspected one is still one of those four people. I just add this possibility. It is estimated that the third four-corner game will be coming soon. Believe me If so, I want to go in and try to find clues."
