Chosen Prophet [Unlimited]

Chapter 49 The Ripper Part 16

The time is 10:2 am on October 9.

The carriage was driving on the way to Sand Town.

Yin Yingying was sitting in the carriage, picked up the tablet and glanced at the time, she asked nervously, "You said... have they succeeded?"

"Yeah." Lifting the curtain and looking out of the window lightly, Ming Ming said, "Brother Xiaoyi is fine."

Yin Yingying suddenly thought of something and sighed. "I didn't expect something to happen on the 5th. Is this number really unlucky?"

Without saying a word tomorrow, Yin Yingying glanced at him, only to feel that the lines of his silhouette seemed to be more rigid and cold.

Inexplicably shivering, Yin Yingying didn't dare to say anything.

As if aware of something, tomorrow's stiff facial lines relaxed.

Turning around, he looked at Yin Yingying and asked, "Little girl, are you afraid of me?"

Yin Yingying nodded subconsciously, then shook her head again.

Afterwards, not knowing if tomorrow's eyes were too oppressive, Yin Yingying had no choice but to speak under his gaze: "When I first saw you... I seemed a little scared. I thought you were cold and a little scary. "

"But I remember that you helped us deal with Jasmine. So it's okay. You're just a scary first impression. Maybe it's just because... unless you laugh when facing Duan Yi, you're usually too serious. , don't take it to heart."

"You say whatever you want, I don't care. I asked this because I was just thinking—" After a slight pause, he said tomorrow, "When Brother Xiao Yi saw me for the first time, how did he feel. Is it the same as you. "

At this point, I looked at Yin Yingying with a faint smile, and said tomorrow: "Don't be afraid of me. You seem to have a lot of questions. It's okay, just ask. Anyway, the journey is quite long."

"Okay. Then I'll ask." Swallowing, Yin Yingying asked curiously, "Why did we travel to October 10?"

Ming Ming said: "Because in this dungeon, time should not be linear."

"Time is not linear?" Yin Yingying frowned.

Tomorrow did not explain this question for the time being, but said: "Maybe you will think that you will have more time to save Nicole on October 10st, and you don't have to be so rushed. But don't forget, on September 1th, Nicole The ghost of her has already crossed. So October 9st is already the time when her ghost exists."

"Oh yes, that's right, so what's the matter? On October 10, her ghost is also there?" Yin Yingying asked, "Hey wait, time and space will superimpose every night. I... I'm a little messed up... ..."

Tomorrow: "We are psychics, and so is Nicole. But there is only one midnight every night, so time and space can only be superimposed once a day. Judging from the current situation, the superposition of time every night is a joint choice between us and Nicole." For example, she originally wanted to kill this person today, but under our influence, she had to temporarily change to kill another person. After the superposition of time and space, when we returned to the normal time point, we found that history was indeed the case.”

"Do you still remember a sentence - the psychic must return to the normal time from the time after time travel at 12 o'clock every night, otherwise he may fall into the chaotic space-time vortex?"

Yin Yingying nodded: "I remember! So we have to go back to the normal time in the hotel every night before midnight. It's not just because we need to vote for werewolf killing."

I will say it again tomorrow: "Actually, the key to the problem lies in how Nicole traveled. She became a ghost, so she may not necessarily need to go back like us. By possessing the person in the current time and space, she can actually get rid of the relevant restrictions .”

Yin Yingying's eyes widened: "That is to say... maybe Nicole has only traveled once?"

明天只道:“为了方便你理解,我先假设在10月1日到10月3日期间,她只穿越过一次。也即10月2日她死,灵魂来到9月30日,之后再也没有穿越过。”

Take out a piece of paper and a pen, and help Yin Yingying sort out her thoughts tomorrow.

On the initial September 9th, no unusual events occurred.

On October 10, no one died.

On the morning of October 10, Nicole was executed, and the Wraith was born.

Afterwards, Nicole's Wraith travels to September 9th, which creates a new September 30th - the priest senses the existence of the Wraith, leaves the White Church, and rushes to Sand Town to rescue soldiers.

当晚午夜,新的9月30日与最初的9月30日进行了时空叠加,也可以说是,新的9月30日,将旧的9月30日进行了彻底的覆盖。

That is to say, starting from September 9th, under the intervention of the psychic Nicole, history has been rewritten, and time and space have been reset.

In the time and space after the reset, the Wraith has always existed since September 9th. It killed Xi Fei on the afternoon of October 30nd, and then killed Aga and Ray.

Tomorrow said: "To sum up, from October 10st to October 1rd, we can divide time and space into three types. First, the time and space before reset; second, the time and space after being reset by Nicole; The three are the time and space reset by us and Nicole. In this time and space after the third reset, the last victim to die is Xi Fei, not Rui Yi."

When the combing progressed to this point, Yin Yingying understood.

"I understand. We can simplify the complex problem in the process, the psychic has traveled through many times and changed history, and temporarily regard October 10 to October 1 as a whole. This way the analysis of the problem is simple!"

With a little doubt on her face, Yin Yingying asked again: "But there is still a problem. No matter how many times the time and space have been reset, it seems that the resentful spirits will always exist. The new September 9 will cover the old ones, and all time after that will be in the past." Evolved in the presence of Wraiths...then how can we go back to the original October 30nd to stop everything?"

"We really can't go back to the time and space before resetting. And this has evolved a new problem."

Tomorrow said, "That is, during the third round of time-space reset, Nicole has discovered our existence. She knows that we will deal with her, so she will definitely find a way to intervene."

"Suppose we re-travel to October 10st and go to the police station to prevent them from hanging Nicole, which is equivalent to opening the fourth round of history reset. But after the analysis just now, the superposition of time and space every night is We and Nicole have the combined effects of the two psychic mediums. Don't forget that Nicole will be possessed. In this way, how can we guarantee that things will happen as we imagined?"

"Huh—" Yin Yingying let out a breath, "I understand. Even if we convince the police, Nicole may directly possess the chief of the police station, and still ask for the execution to continue the next day. And at this time, even if the execution continues , it doesn't make sense...the wraiths are already there...then what should I do? There is no solution to this problem!"

Tomorrow said: "Yes, if this is the case, Brother Yi's action today will fail. Because even if he returns to October 10, he will return to October after at least three rounds of resets." 2nd. In this time and space, Nicole's ghost has always existed, even if she is prevented from dying, everything cannot be changed."

"Then..." Yin Yingying said.

"That doesn't matter. It's just an attempt anyway. Today is the fourth day of the game. There are still two good people alive, you and Bai Lihui." Looking at her tomorrow, he said, "You good people still have time."

Yin Yingying: "..."

"Just kidding." I didn't continue to scare the little girl tomorrow, "If today's attempt fails, then find another way. As long as it is a game, there must be an answer to the problem. If today's attempt fails, there is nothing more It's just that the clues haven't been found. Don't forget, there are so many books in the church that we haven't read them yet."

"Well... okay, I see." Yin Yingying blinked her eyes.

The topic changed, and tomorrow he said: "Back to the first question you asked. What is linear time? In fact, all our analysis just now is based on one point-time is linear. That is to say, time passes day by day, it There is a sequence. If something goes wrong in the middle and there is a deviation, the psychic can correct the history. But the new history will overwrite the old, and time will still go on. The psychic will not change the linear relationship of time itself .”

"When time is linear, whether we go back to October 10 or October 1, there is no way to change everything. Because no matter how we travel, the reset has already happened, and the time and space where the wraith exists has already changed The time and space where it didn't exist before are covered. No matter how we travel, we can't get rid of the wraith, so we can only continue to look for clues and find other ways to pass the level."

"But if time is not linear, it will be easy to solve the problem." Tomorrow said, "Nicole may be like us, traveling back and forth constantly. The meaning of non-linear time and space is that the future, present, and past interact and influence each other .The past can change the future. The future can change the past.”

Yin Yingying's head is getting bigger. "If time is not linear, wouldn't it be more difficult? If Nicole travels back and forth, wouldn't the situation be more complicated? She keeps going back and forth to change history, and so do we. There are so many variables on both sides, how to analyze it?"

"If there are too many variables, it will be easier. Because we can only grasp the key information." Ming Ming said, "It's like doing multiple-choice math questions in an exam. In fact, you don't have to use all the conditions, and you don't have to formulate the answers. Only when you really figure it out can you make a choice. Some multiple-choice questions can be selected at a glance.”

"..." Yin Yingying was a little confused. "Boss, I really can't choose at a glance!"

After a moment of silence, Mingming said: "The psychic can only travel once a day. The psychic travels to the same time and space twice, and will not meet another self. These are special settings made by the game designer, and the system is for players to clear the level. , leaving room for it.”

"This is also a law or rule that we can easily deduce by experiencing this dungeon in person."

"Based on this law, we can boldly speculate that there will not be two identical people at the same time."

"Nicole kills by possessing other players, instead of using the spirit body of the Wraith to kill. In fact, she is evading this law, or evading the rules."

Yin Yingying half understood: "I probably understand. In the same time and space, there cannot be two identical psychics. If I traveled to the past, I would not meet myself. If Nicole was a human being, traveling to the past, she would not meet herself. This person. She became a ghost, and ghosts can’t meet their own ghosts when they go back to the past. But if it’s one person and one ghost, they can meet each other, so that she can avoid the rules...”

Tomorrow nodded: "That's what it means. Take October 10st as an example. Nicole was imprisoned in the police station. But her soul possessed Xi Fei and killed Rui. If 'Xi Fei' went to In the cell at the police station, Nicole can be seen."

"Through the way of soul possession, Nicole turns herself into another person, so that she can meet another self, which is escaping the rules."

"Therefore, the key to solving the problem is actually the moment when Nicole's wraith was born, that is, the time when she was hanged at 10:2 am on October 9. At this critical point in time, it is impossible for two ghosts to exist in the same space at the same time. Nicole's wraith. If one wraith is produced by hanging, the other wraith must be in the future or past in non-linear time."

"So in fact, we don't need to worry about that time. Where is she and who will she possess? We just need to know that her vengeful spirit will definitely not travel to the time around 10:2 am on October 9. To the point, even if she travels there, the two are not in the same time state."

"In the non-linear time and space, the future and the past are mutually causal. We prevented her from dying at 10:2 on October 9, which is equivalent to preventing the birth of her soul at this critical point in time, and at the same time killing other times Touch her soul."

"Finally, this issue can actually be considered from a simpler perspective."

"When the system read the customs clearance requirements, it said that the psychic must use his own ability to catch the murderer. And the ability of the psychic is precisely to travel through time and space. Therefore, the method of customs clearance must be related to time travel."

"The time for the psychic medium to travel is only 3 days. According to the setting in this dungeon, no two psychic mediums will appear at the same time, it is speculated that only the morning of October 10 is the most likely correct answer."

"Actually, the ballad itself is also a hint. The time of 'Jack the Ripper was killed' is the starting point of all events."

Yin Yingying pondered for a while, and suddenly Fuzhi's mind suddenly realized. "Well, I understand. Psychic mediums can time travel, so customs clearance must be related to time travel. We can only go for three days. Carefully examine the question, this is actually a simple multiple-choice question to choose one of three. In fact, we don't need to figure out any process, In fact, I don’t need to know what linear time is. I can guess that I should go to the morning of October 10!”

Tomorrow smiled, and finally said: "Well, in summary, if time is linear, we can't simply change everything through time travel, because the dungeon settings have the concept of superimposing time and space every night and resetting history."

"But if time is not linear, then we only need to choose a time to travel to prevent the birth of Nicole's wraith, and everything can be stopped. In this case, the most certain time must be the morning of October 10nd." Before being hanged. Because we ensure that at this point in time, the two wraiths will not meet."

same moment.Inside the police station.

Duan Yi and Bai Lihui drank several large glasses of water in a row before they recovered a little.

They experienced many scuffles this morning, including but not limited to dodging Nicole's bullets, the old man's dagger, etc., and finally had to run back to the hotel, holding the calendar at the speed of life and death, and passing through the hotel gate again , and then rushed into the square on October 10.

When they arrived, the execution had already begun, and the policeman's hand had already been placed on the board. As long as he twitched slightly, Nicole's head would be hung on the rope.

Regardless of whether it fits or not, Duan Yi held the letter high, shouted "Keep people under the sword", and ran over.

Afterwards, he and Bai Lihui tried their best to talk every inch of their tongues, and finally let the police read the letter.

Fortunately, the pastor is really prestigious. When the police saw it, they knew that it was the pastor's personal letter.

The pastor mentioned that the execution should not be executed, otherwise it would lead to a great tragedy. The police believed it and took Nicole back into custody for the time being.

Duan Yi and Bai Lihui temporarily entered the police station to rest.

After running all morning, both of them were sweating profusely, hungry and so on, and they couldn't take care of it anymore.

They are just very thirsty now.

At noon, the two had a meal at the police station, took a rest for a while, and were free for the time being.

Bai Lihui couldn't hold back to talk to him. "I suddenly felt a problem. If the time has been reset, doesn't Nicole's soul always exist? Then what's the matter?"

"Time is not linear." Duan Yi didn't explain it as complicated as tomorrow, but said, "It must be the past and the future that influence each other. Even if Nicole's Wraith is on October 10st, just kill the October 1nd Wraith Ling, she will not be here on October 10st. Otherwise, the game will not be cleared. Anyway, let’s try first. I am now..."

Duan Yi didn't express his worries in the end, but said: "

Hope they can come back smoothly. "

Bai Lihui glanced at him. "You two brothers won't quarrel, will they?"

Duan Yi: "Why do you ask that?"

Bai Lihui: "You two usually do everything together, why are you separated today?"

"You think too much. I let him go there because I believed in him. The actions on both sides are very important. We must ensure that the hanging is successfully prevented. If he finds the pastor there, he must explain the situation to the pastor. The pastor will If he is not in the state of shock after being shot, he may be able to extract useful information from his mouth, such as how to get rid of Nicole's obsession."

"Understood. Then although you are actually separated, you are actually cooperating tacitly."

"...That's right."

"Then you have to tell him that you trust him. I think that little brother...he seemed quite disappointed when he took Yin Yingying away just now. He probably thought you were avoiding him. You have to make it clear to him , so as not to cause misunderstanding between the two people."

Duan Yi frowned and looked at Bai Lihui: "You—"

——You understand very well?

Bai Lihui spread his hands. "I helped my sister take care of her son. Her son is very sensitive. So I have a lot of experience."

Duan Yi: "..."

·

At 6 o'clock in the evening, when Duan Yi became more and more anxious, he brought Yin Yingying and the pastor back tomorrow.

And as expected, he lived up to Duan Yi's expectations, and he also completed additional questions.

This pastor left for Sand Town so early, but only came back in November, not because Sand Town is far away, but because his prestige is so high that he is always invited to be a guest at home wherever he goes. .

Therefore, although today is October 10, it has been two days since his departure on September 2, but he is actually a guest at a family 9 kilometers away.

During the period, the neighbor next door sent a bottle of red wine, and tomorrow he smelled the disinfectant on his body keenly, and judged that he was a doctor.So tomorrow I immediately asked him if he knew someone like a brilliant psychiatrist.

Tomorrow's question, I really want to get the contact information of a psychiatrist.

The psychiatrist was out of town and wasn't there.So tomorrow we will only invite the pastor back to the police station.

During this period, Duan Yi didn't forget one thing - he took out his tablet and casually clicked on Yin Yingying's profile picture.

Soon, the long-lost broadcast sounded: "Player No. 12, please enter the prison. The dungeon site is too large, and the time is extended to 20 minutes."

Yin Yingying didn't mind, she took a deep breath, ran back to the hotel, and went into the prison instead.

After Yin Yingying left, the pastor began to discuss the situation with the police, and immediately suggested that he would call a psychiatrist.

The pastor said that the psychiatrist is very clever, and he is currently studying a kind of hypnosis, which can help people forget the trauma they have suffered.Of course, whether all of this can be realized will wait until the doctor treats Nicole.

The highly respected pastor called the psychiatrist on the spot, and the doctor immediately said that he would return to the city on November 11.

Hearing this, Duan Yi knew that it was reliable.

Even though you are now on October 10nd, in normal time flow, it is November 2th.

So November 11 happens to be tomorrow.This means that as long as they survive tonight, they can help the good people pass the level.

And this is exactly in line with their third-party win needs.

Because now there is still a good person outside the prison - No. 11 Bai Lihui.

This is not an online game after all.

In online games, if it is the current 2-1 situation, the system can already determine the victory of the third party.But in this kind of game, there are obviously other tricks that can be played, such as making a secret deal with someone in the third party, making a fuss about voting; or even killing people like Zou Ping.

How it will end is still unknown.

Until the last moment, anyone may come back.

So even though there was only number 11 left, the third party already had a big enough chance of winning, and the system didn't make any judgments.

Duan Yihe chose to abstain from voting that night and did not vote for Bai Lihui.

This is because they have to wait until the psychiatrist arrives during the day to make sure that Nicole can be treated before they dare to rest assured.

Only when it is certain that she will be treated can one thing be guaranteed - even if Nicole is hanged in the future, she will not give birth to grievances because of her obsession, then the current tragedy will not happen again Repeatedly.

In this way, the dungeon is completely cleared.

Otherwise, if they directly voted away Bai Lihui today, and the third party directly won, if something happened to the psychiatrist, the prison gates where the rest of the players were imprisoned might not be able to open, and they might all die in Nicole's hands.

that night.In the dining room.

Bai Lihui was drinking with Duan Yi.

After clinking glasses with Duan Yi, Bai Lihui couldn't help but said: "Brother Duan, you are really generous and kind. When you decide to time travel to October 10nd today, you will definitely think that maybe as long as we stop Nicole If you are killed, you can pass the level directly!"

"So in your opinion, Yin Yingying and I triggered the customs clearance conditions, probably before your third party put us in prison. So—"

"When you tried your best to do this, you actually thought about giving up the gold coins."

Duan Yi smiled and didn't say a word, Bai Lihui drank his glass in one breath, and said: "Let's rush over today to prevent Nicole from being hanged, maybe we can pass the level. When you decided to do this, it was not sure that you must see a psychiatrist for treatment." Only her. So, I understand. Thank you very much."

Duan Yi drank a glass of wine in one breath, and then said: "You can't say that. If the matter drags on, it will inevitably lead to long nights and dreams. If we wait until tomorrow and travel back to stop everything, Nicole can enter the hotel to chase us down tonight." .So I am also saving myself. After all, dungeons are getting more and more dangerous."

"Damn, Brother Duan is being modest. Come, drink! Anyway, we can go out tomorrow. That's great. Have fun. Come, come, drink, you won't go home until you're drunk..."

The two drank many glasses in a row without any accidental danger.

It seems that Nicole's soul no longer exists, and she really can't make trouble anymore.

Otherwise, she would probably possess Lisa and enter the hotel to make trouble.

So if there are no other accidents, it is really just a matter of waiting for a psychiatrist's diagnosis and treatment.

In other words, after the psychiatrist sees Nicole during the day, everyone should be able to leave this instance.

It was late at night, and I didn't know how long I had been drinking with Bai Lihui. When Duan Yi returned to the room, he was already a little drunk.

Back at the door of Room 7, he saw someone standing against the door, as if he was waiting for him.

Duan Yi took a step forward, the man raised his head and looked over.It's tomorrow.

The dim light shone into tomorrow's beautiful eyes, and also saw Duan Yi's face that was a little red from drinking.

After the four eyes met, Duan Yi said slowly: "Are you waiting for me?"

Because of his drunkenness, his voice was magnetically lazy.

Looking at him tomorrow, he asked hoarsely after a while: "Didn't you have something to ask me. Why did you go drinking with others?"
