Infinite weird games

Chapter 21 Rose Manor (Twenty) Time Paradox

The moment Qisi thrust the blade into Chang Xu's neck, Zou Yan's eyes widened.

And her expression was fixed at this moment.

In other words, the behavior, development, and mood of everyone, things, and things in the entire space are all fixed at this moment.

The blood splattered on the shirt separated from the fibers and turned into blood beads flying back to the wound on the corpse's neck.

The pool of blood dripping on the steps flowed upwards, shrank into a small pool, and then poured back into the blood vessels.

The kneeling corpse stood in a strange posture, retreating step by step along the path it had taken before, just like a movie played in reverse.

Qisi looked at Chang Xu's pale face after losing blood, and his face was filled with the color of a living person. His tall and thin figure stepped on the steps like a zombie and disappeared around the corner of the stairs.

The vines that spread their claws in the corridors twisted and contracted towards the walls on both sides, winding back like insects and snakes into the shadows of the cracks in the stone walls.

The sound of rain stopped at a certain point, and the air was filled with the smell of water and flowers.

Zeiss found that he could not move, and only his thoughts could float freely in his mind.

He saw that Zou Yan in front of him was also unable to move. Only his right hand, which was wrapped in vines, was still twisting unwillingly.

"Because it's not completely transformed into a ghost, can only the weird right hand be used?"

Zeiss took this discovery to heart.

After deciding that the standard answer was hidden in the seventh rule [Only ghosts can kill humans, please believe that you are human], he began to think about what would happen if humans killed humans.

It is known that after Zou Yan obtained clues to Chang Xu's four-line poem, she immediately conducted an experiment to verify it, triggering a time travel.

In other words, the triggering conditions for turning back time are not stringent and can even be easily obtained.

At the same time, it can be seen from the background story of the dungeon that Anne killed the man who loved Anna deeply and made a deal with the gods, starting a three-day time loop.

Based on analogical reasoning, the switch that triggers the reversal of time is likely to be related to "murder".

If a human kills a human, time will go back an hour and the dead will be resurrected; only if the player dies in a strange way will the time-rewind mechanism not be triggered.

Therefore, "Only ghosts can kill humans."

Regardless of whether this is the case or not, Qisi intends to try killing someone. After all, he is a man with strong hands-on ability and a practical spirit.

As early as when he entered the old woman's room and learned the clue that "ghosts are not affected by turning back time", in Qisi's eyes, Chang Xu was a dead man.

Because of this, he almost self-destructed and told Chang Xu part of the truth, decrypting it before his death.

"At present, it seems that the person who was killed and the unrelated passers-by will not have the memory of going back in time. Otherwise, it cannot explain my lack of memory about the first round of the game."

"In addition to ghosts, the ones who can keep their memories intact during the time travel are also the triggerers of the time travel, that is, the murderers."

“We need to use the characteristics of ghosts that can kill humans to break the situation, but we also need to stick to our human identity, so we need to use the time reversal mechanism... What an interesting design!”

A complete set of plans gradually became clear at the bottom of his mind. Qisi looked at the slowly flying and rising dust in the darkness. After all, it was difficult to make too big a move. He could only slightly curl his lips and wait for this time. The end of the time travel started by him.

The light around him dimmed inch by inch, and his consciousness began to sink as the light disappeared. In the darkness where he couldn't even see his fingers, the sound of rain rang in his ears again.

It's a heavy rain.

Through the thick stone wall, there was only a thin "squeaking" sound in my ears.

In an instant, there was light in the world.

Zeiss found himself leaning against the wall, in front of a double bed with a pile of bone fragments scattered on it.

It looked familiar. He remembered that the pile of bone fragments originally belonged to two skeletons.

Chang Xu on the side was trying to crush the bone pieces into more pieces.

The victim who had just died straightened up, looked at Qiss and said, "You were possessed just now. I guessed that the key was the skeletons, so I smashed them."

Qisi was in a daze for only a moment before he remembered the cause and effect.

He remembered that this was the first room on the third floor. After he got the piece of paper with writing on it under the pillow, he was fascinated and saw Annie's past.

As expected, time has flown back, and Chang Xu cannot remember anything...

Chiss smiled, an extremely bright smile.

He asked in a natural tone: "Brother Chang, what time is it now?"

Chang Xu didn't know why, but he still looked down at the pocket watch in his hand and answered with some confusion: "Two o'clock...one o'clock and eight minutes?"

At this point in time, Zou Yan probably hadn't had time to wait in front of the stairs.

It doesn't matter if she arrives, just let Chang Xu die again.

Qisi made a decision, said "Yeah" softly, turned around and walked out of the room: "I already know how to clear the level, I won't go to the next two rooms."

He paused for two seconds and looked back at Chang Xu: "Of course, Brother Chang, if you are interested in solving puzzles, you can go sightseeing by yourself; if you are interested in Miss Anna, you can go directly to Room 3."

Chang Xu: ...I'm not even interested, thank you.

Even so, after Qisi walked down the stairs in a pretentious manner, he still hesitated.

After all, the two of them had only known each other for a short time. It was impossible for Qisi to believe whatever he said in vain.

There are obviously important clues on the third floor.

Qisi had a clear understanding of Chang Xu's psychology, and said in a calm tone: "Considering the possibility of cooperation, I suggest you go downstairs early. You should also know that our clues have been spied by Zou Yan, and she has mastered this copy. Most of the secrets may be ambush at the stairway to kill one of us at any time, triggering the 'guaranteed death toll' mechanism."

Chang Xu caught the flaw in Qisi's words.

From the known information, it can only be inferred that the holder of the [Eye of Hermes] is one of Zou Yan and Ye Zi.

Qisi was so sure that it was Zou Yan who spied on them...

Chang Xu thought of the weirdness on the destiny pocket watch and raised his eyebrows and asked: "Did you trigger the time reversal mechanism?"

Then he saw that the young man in front of him was obviously stunned, and he smiled helplessly: "You guessed it, I will be back in an hour. So, I suggest you follow the advice of people who have been there and withdraw as soon as possible."

People tend to believe the "facts" they infer. Ziss knows this well, so he deliberately leaves gaps in his words.

Chang Xu took the bait without realizing it, and subconsciously asked: "How did you trigger the time reversal?"

"Ah, it's actually quite simple..." Qisi put his hands in his trouser pockets and looked up at the ceiling, "It's a pity that I don't plan to tell you."

Chang Xu: The fist is hard.

Whether it was an illusion or not, he always felt that there was a hint of malice in Qisi's smile, which made him feel a chill on the back of his neck for no reason.

The danger warning he had developed since childhood made him give up questioning.

In a few seconds, Qisi had already walked quickly down to the corner of the stairs, stopped and looked back: "Brother Chang, your room is probably not safe anymore. Go to my room after going downstairs. Help keep an eye on Lin Chen. Don’t let him be tricked and killed by Zou Yan.”

"I want to ask you to borrow the Destiny Pocket Watch - of course it doesn't matter if you don't agree, the worst case scenario is that no one will be able to pass the level."

He lowered his eyes and said coolly: "I'm going to verify my idea first. If I fail, you can think of another way."

Chang Xu didn't understand and asked, "What's the idea?"

Qisi raised his eyes to look at him, slowly put a finger to his lips, smiled and said two words: "Guess."
