Survival Paradox [Infinite]

Wei Chi looked at that hand, it was old and dry, almost only a piece of skin wrapped the bones, and the flesh and blood had gone away.

He was stunned for a moment, turned his head suddenly, and saw a sharp, shriveled figure.

He rolled to the side, knocked his elbow against a stone, and the flashlight came out of his hand. The light flickered violently, illuminating the man's face, and then, passing by, illuminated another face.

There are two!

One is an old ghost whose skin is wrinkled like an orange peel, and the other is a female ghost with a pale face!

The old-fashioned flashlight rolled away, and the faces of the two things returned to darkness, leaving only outlines with no light at all.

Wei Chi's mind turned rapidly.

what's the situation?Is the ghost who collects "road money" materialized?It's not impossible in this kind of world, but he hasn't lit the fire yet?And why are there two ghosts in this grave?One man and one woman, one old and one young?

"Xiaofang." The old ghost suddenly called out.

Xiaofang?Is it the name of that female ghost?

Why is he calling her now?

Hmm...not right.

This old ghost's voice...why does it sound familiar?

The old ghost said again: "This thing can't be burned."

Wei Chi reached out to pick up the flashlight that was still rolling slowly, and took a photo at the "old ghost", his face paled in shock, and he blurted out: "Old Fang?"

This old ghost is actually Fang Qingdi!

The old man blocked the light of the flashlight with one hand: "Hey Xiaofang, Xiaofang, don't take the light, it's too bright."

"Old Fang, I'm Xiao Wei." Wei Chi turned the light of the flashlight to the darkest, and went to illuminate the "female ghost" again, a little confused, "Then who is this?"

The "female ghost" looks very young, with fair skin, an oval face, pale eyebrows and eyes, and a slick ponytail. From a glance, she looks quite malnourished.Wei Chi felt that she looked familiar too, but for a while she couldn't remember where she had seen her before.

Fang Qingdi said: "This is Xiao Li."

Wei Chi suddenly remembered: "Li Xiaofei?"

The girl nodded flinchingly.

Li Xiaofei—that’s Xing Meow—I met her once in "Subway World" Wei Chi, but that time she was a full set of "Lolita" with full makeup, she looked delicate and gorgeous, I didn't expect her to be like this... well-behaved ?

Wei Chi asked, "Why are you here?"

Fang Qingdi smiled, without any sense of crisis: "Xiao Li hired me."

"Employment?" Wei Chi turned to Li Xiaofei, who was pleasing to the eye, and said, "Clarify the matter."

Li Xiaofei shook, and said weakly: "Ah Kui... Ah Kui said that she is a murderer... I don't believe it. How could Ah Kui be a murderer?"

After "Subway World", she woke up in the hospital. When she opened her eyes, she saw the faces of her parents, grandparents, and grandparents. They anxiously and happily asked her how she was feeling, whether she was hungry, thirsty, and what she wanted to eat and drink. She actually lost her mind, thinking in a daze: I wonder if there is anyone beside the bed watching her wake up?

But Aoi couldn't get through the phone no matter what, and all the news disappeared.

After being discharged from the hospital, she was locked up at home for another two days. She found a chance to sneak out and went directly to Ah Kui's house.

The door was opened by a strange, smelly, thin man.

He said Aoi was at the police station.

She went to the police station again.

But Aoi was not found, and everyone said they didn't know.

More than ten days later, Ah Kui sent her a full stop.

She went to Ah Kui's house again.

It was the same man who came to open the door, reeking of alcohol and cursing.

She walked into the small room she had longed for, and found that everything had changed.What used to be a warm, tidy, small, but beautiful little room with lots of interesting decorations has turned into a miniature dump, with men's clothes, wine bottles, takeaway boxes and cigarette butts all over the place, and the soot burned out the cat-print carpet A lot of holes.

It's autumn, and even the beautiful sycamore tree outside the window has turned a dull withered yellow, no longer as bright as it was then.

She found Aoi in the corner of the room.

Ah Kui curled up in the corner, like a pile of silent soot.

Li Xiaofei was shocked on the spot, she had never seen Ah Kui like this.

The man was still pattering around the room, cursing that there was no more wine, kicking over a bunch of wine bottles, opened the door and left.

Li Xiaofei stood still for a while, then walked in front of Ah Kui, squatted down, and called out: "... Ah Kui."

Ah Kui has lost a lot of weight, like a doll whose soul has gone out of its body, and has no reaction to her arrival.

She yelled again and touched Aoi's knee.

After a while, Ah Kui's eyes finally moved and slowly turned to her. She felt that those eyes were like two dry wells.

Aoi asked, "Who are you?"

Li Xiaofei was stunned again.

Ah Kui continued: "No matter who you are, don't come here again, let's go."

Li Xiaofei: "What are you talking about, Ah Kui?"

She took out her mobile phone and turned to the dialog box between the two. Before the full stop that Ah Kui sent, there were [-] greeting messages from her, and before that, there were their normal chat records.They chat about anime, novels, peers, life, and ideals, and they can't get it right no matter how hard they look.

Li Xiaofei was about to cry, and raised the phone in front of Ah Kui: "Look, look, this is our chat record! How come you don't know me?"

"I've seen it." Aoi said, "but I don't know you."

Li Xiaofei cried out: "Why, how could it be? At that time... I was chasing Ah Qiang, and you pushed me away, blocking me in front of Platinum Star, you, you saved me..."

"I don't remember." Ah Kui looked at her, her eyes were dark and dull, but the corners of her mouth suddenly curved strangely, "I'm a murderer, you really don't want to come here again."

"Murderer?" Li Xiaofei shook and asked, "Who did you kill?"

Ah Kui pointed behind her: "He."

When Li Xiaofei heard the door closing behind him, a creepy feeling rose in her heart.

She turned her head stiffly, and saw the man who had gone and returned.

She heard her own voice: "... But, but he is not dead."

"Yeah." Ah Kui said, "This is also something I can't figure out."

The man glanced at them, spit on the ground, and asked rudely: "Where did you get this little girl? How did you know her?"

"I don't know." Ah Kui answered him, then turned to Li Xiaofei, "Let's go."

Li Xiaofei didn't know where her courage came from. Facing that man, she was obviously trembling with fear, but her voice was very clear: "I'm her friend!"

"Friend?" The man looked at her with protruding, yellow eyes, reminiscent of a starved and skinny wolf.

"You are just a useless underage, we are not friends." Aoi said behind her, "You go, don't come again."

She was kicked out of Ah Kui's house.

She doesn't understand.

Before today, her last memory was the scene of the subway doors closing slowly, Ah Kui's face slowly disappearing in the cracks, so panicked, so painful, and she shed so many tears because of her death.She thought that she had finally become an important cannon fodder who saved the protagonist in an adventure story, and ushered in the highlight moment in her ordinary life...

But why, after waking up, everything is different?

That Aoi, that Aoi who is brave, powerful and invincible like a sunflower, suddenly turned into...a mass of ashes?

There must be something wrong.

She thought of Wei Chi, the man who was strategizing in the subway.

He must know what happened.

But Ah Kui is right, she is indeed just a useless underage, in front of a huge unknown, she doesn't know what to do.

She turned to the Internet for help.

The group of relatives and friends gave her a lot of ideas. A friend in the Cthulhu circle sent her a link in a private message. When she clicked on a website called "Tianya Shendao", it was said that it was an underground dark net composed of strange people and strangers. It was published on it. The reward order can invite some high-level people to come out of the mountain.

She browsed that website for a few days and made an important decision beyond "climbing Huashan".

She wants Aoi back.

She quickly sold all the cosplay clothes, figures and lo skirts, collected a sum of money, and issued a reward order on "Tianya Shendao".

Li Xiaofei spread his hands towards Fang Qingdi: "The one who unveiled the list is this Daoist Fang."

Wei Chi admired the young man's ability to act, and turned to Fang Qingdi: "...Then how did you find this place, Mr. Fang?"

Fang Qingdi: "I came with you."

Wei Chi: "You've been following us all these days?"

Fang Qingdi was very calm: "Yes."

Wei Chi: "Then where do you sleep?"

"You are next door." Fang Qingdi said, "Didn't Xiao Ji tell you?"

Wei Chi: "Say what?"

Fang Qingdi: "I lied to him that I had no place to live, so he asked me to stay at his house temporarily. Anyway, he lives with you."

Wei Chi had been in a daze for the past few days, so he didn't remember that Ji Jingzhe didn't say anything, he could only nod his head and said, "Then how did you 'come in'?"

Fang Qingdi: "Actually, we haven't followed you all the time. The main reason is that I put a tracking symbol on Xiao Ji and followed that island *$ Xi.|Du-(one came here, but yesterday the driver's car went out again. It broke down, we just arrived, and we were walking on the mountain road, when suddenly it got dark, and then I saw you squatting here burning paper."

Wei Chi: "When did it happen?"

Fang Qingdi: "About seven o'clock this morning."

In other words, last night really passed, but this morning has not yet passed.

Wei Chi thought for a while, but he didn't think clearly, and asked, "Why didn't you let me burn the paper just now?"

Fang Qingdi asked: "Why did you burn it?"

"According to our relatives..." Wei Chi pointed at the tomb, "It can be regarded as road money."

"Three, three, endless, six, six, infinite, ninety-nine, return to the truth." Fang Qing said, "Paper money can only be burned in multiples of three, so the devils can't count it. No matter how bad it is, it's still burnt bills and not double burns." He dusted off from Wei Chi The four pieces of paper money snatched in his hand, "In any case, 'four' must not be burned, and death is a serious disaster. If you burned it just now, it is equivalent to asking for a ticket to Fengdu. If there are real residents here, you No matter what, you can't get rid of it."

Wei Chi didn't believe this at first, but after listening to it in this environment, his heart feels heavy like a cold wind has blown through him.He swallowed, and said, "Maybe...the customs are different in different places?"

"Impossible." Fang Qingdi resolutely asked, "What are you going to do?"

Wei Chi briefly told him about the "fake burial".

Fang Qingdi looked at him fixedly after listening, and said, "Are you going to bury that thing on your back?"

Wei Chi nodded.

Fang Qingdi: "But he is alive."
