Chapter 138

how is this possible?

An Wu Jiu turned his head, frowned and made a mouth to Shen Ti.

[Is it Erci? ]

Shen Ti broke the communicator with one shot, then slowly raised the gun and aimed at the pollutants in front of him.

"Don't shoot yet."

An Wu Jiu grabbed his arm.

He always felt something was wrong.

An Wu Jiu took a step closer, followed the bloody aura to check the back of the pollutants, only to find that there was a lot of gnawed raw meat behind her, the bones were piled up together, all of them had been gnawed.

This is clearly the contaminant being kept in captivity, and the captive person is likely to be the person on the other end of the communicator just now.

"Let's find Yirou first."

The more An Wu Jiu thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong, he grabbed Shen Ti and ran upstairs.

Although unbelievable, once it really is what he thinks...

That's way too complicated.

After entering the altar, Zhong Yirou can be considered to have experienced countless bizarre incidents, no matter how absurd and paradoxical, but she never imagined that the scene in front of her would happen like this.

It turns out that the dead can be resurrected.

The man she couldn't save no matter what, pointed the gun at her now.

Zhong Yirou resisted the turmoil in her heart and tried her best to persuade herself to calm down. No matter what conspiracy was behind it, whether it was being manipulated or really resurrected, she couldn't collapse now.

"Erci, it's me... you're Erci, right?"

Zhong Yirou raised her hands in a gesture of non-resistance, "If you know me, I'm Zhong Yirou..."

"Enough." Yang Erci was extremely cold, frowning, and even showed a hint of disgust.

Zhong Yirou was stinged by her eyes, she didn't understand what happened, but she couldn't question it now.

She quickly wiped the tears from her face with the back of her hand, and glanced at Wu You, who was still struggling on the shelf.

The injection in the needle should be something like a tranquilizer, which seems to be effective against pollutants.

"Do you want to kill me?" Zhong Yirou stared at Yang Erci in the broken glass, "If that's the case, why don't you do it?"

Yang Erci frowned again.

Zhong Yirou noticed that her finger moved slightly on the trigger, but she still didn't press it in the end.

Suddenly, Yang Erci's hand moved a bit, and the target of the gun was replaced by Wu You who was upside down.

"don't want!"

Zhong Yirou immediately pounced on Wu You. The skin of her arm was corroded by the mucus on Wu You's body, but she could hardly feel the pain now, "Don't shoot."

Wu You smelled Zhong Yirou's scent, and immediately took back the defensive mucus on his skin.

"You kill me. Don't you want to kill me?" Zhong Yirou leaned on Wu You and looked up at Yang Erci, his eyes full of panic and confusion, "He's Wu You, don't you recognize him? He won't hurt him. human."

Zhong Yirou was only left with despair at the moment. The two were people she knew very well, but one didn't know her and wanted to kill her, and the other was polluted and couldn't hear her.

Yang Erci stood where she was, staring at Zhong Yirou's tearful eyes, her hand holding the gun tightened.

Zhong Yirou also stared at her, and at this time she gradually came out of shock and panic. Without looking through the glass, Zhong Yirou suddenly realized that the Yang Erci in front of her was not the same as she was yesterday.

Yesterday she was clearly wearing a white shirt and black trousers, but now she is wearing a grey-black hoodie she has never seen before.

There is no such dress in Yang Erci's wardrobe.

Taking a closer look, Zhong Yirou found out that the hair under her hat was medium to short to the shoulders, and it was dyed blue-black.

Not long black hair.

The sight fell on her arm, blood oozing from her sleeve, probably injured, the cuff half covered her gun holding hand, and the back of her hand seemed to have scars from the burns that had healed.

Except for the looks, nothing else is right.

Zhong Yirou thought in a trance, could this not be Yang Erci...

Or rather, not the Yang Erci she knew.

Realizing this, Zhong Yirou felt a chill in her heart.

There is no situation that Yang Erci is being controlled, there is no stab wound on her chest, and the state and complexion of her whole person does not look like someone who has died once, not to mention that many of her characteristics are different from Yang Erci. two bodies.

Zhong Yirou thought of her reaction to the name when she called her Yang Erci just now...

She said "enough" and made no rebuttal.

Is she also called Yang Erci?

The thoughts in mind became more and more complicated, and the more thought about it, the more terrifying these might emerge.

But how is this possible? How can there be two of her? Zhong Yirou kept denying her thoughts in her heart, but the fact that happened before her forced her to face it all.

They are indeed in the altar now, otherwise how could such a thing happen?

Zhong Yirou eagerly wanted to know why another Yang Erci appeared, but she was afraid of angering the one in front of her.

If he really shoots, Wu You will be much less fortunate.

She decided to delay, at least until Wu You recovered a little and An Wu Jiu and Shen Ti appeared.

Yang Erci in front of her looked down at her like this, her eyes were very complicated, as if she wanted to kill her, but she couldn't move.

This is not normal. She is obviously the one who pointed a gun at herself as soon as she appeared. It could only be that she wanted to kill her, or to force something out of her mouth, but she did neither.

Zhong Yirou suddenly thought that this Yang Erci knew her too, and she could see at a glance that she was not the Zhong Yirou she knew.

There is only one possibility for this situation, that Zhong Yirou is already dead, just like what happened to her.

Wu You, who was under her, wrapped Zhong Yirou's hand with her tentacles, and she suddenly thought that there was more than one possibility.

There is another kind, that Zhong Yirou has been contaminated...

"You..." Zhong Yirou tried to speak, "You know my face, right?"

She said, and immediately added, "It's just that I'm not the person you're looking for."

The shadow of the hood enveloped Yang Erci's brows and eyes, and Zhong Yirou's face was reflected in her pupils.

exactly the same...

Yang Erci thought about shooting, it was something she expected, so she made mental preparations very early.

When she found a guy who looked exactly like her friend appeared in front of them and killed him, she was ready.

There must be another Zhong Yirou, she may appear at any time.

Can't be fooled, must kill her.

"I'm just guessing that's the case." Zhong Yirou lowered her eyes and looked up at her again, "I have a... friend." She pursed her lips, "She looks very similar to you, so when I saw you just now , I also misunderstood."

Zhong Yirou looked up at her and said something very foul.

"I won't hurt you, you are too similar to her."

Yang Erci's tense nerves inevitably loosened at this moment, she knew that the real Zhong Yirou was not in front of her.

The real her has long since become a pollutant, and was locked in the refrigerator by herself.

But they are exactly the same, even the ending of the speech and the expression are exactly the same.

Yang Erci was still in a trance for a moment.

But it was this second of shaking that made her no longer invulnerable. Several tentacles sprang out quickly and attacked this Yang Erci like a snake. One hit her wrist, forcing her to let go, and the gun fell to the ground. Death strangling.

Zhong Yirou didn't expect Wu You to recover so quickly, she hurriedly picked up the gun on the ground and put it in a bag.

Wu You's tentacles wrapped around Yang Erci's neck, squeezing her throat hard. Seeing that she couldn't breathe at all, Zhong Yirou rushed up and slapped Wu You's tentacles a little excitedly.

"Wu You! Wu You, don't pester her, let go!" Zhong Yirou was very anxious, not realizing that Wu You was in an offensive state at the moment, her skin was covered with mucus, and even her palms were corroded.

But it was useless, Wu You couldn't hear her voice at all.

Zhong Yirou was about to cry, but she couldn't do anything to Wu You. Seeing that Yang Erci was about to be strangled to death, Wu You even stretched out another tentacle. heart.

"don't want!"

But the next moment, his tentacles stopped in the air.

"Wu You, let go of her."

An Wujiu's voice appeared, calm and in stark contrast to hers.

Zhong Yirou glanced at the other side, saw him and Shen Ti, and let out a sigh of relief.

Wu You listened to his words and let go of the hanged tentacles.

Zhong Yirou felt paralyzed all over for a moment, so she could only lean on the shelf behind her and sit on the ground a little bit.

The tentacles were released and recovered, An Wu Jiu looked at the target Wu You attacked. Even if it was exactly the same as what he guessed, but seeing her face, An Wu Jiu couldn't help but stunned.

Yang Erci was almost strangled to death, her face was pale, she held her throat with both hands, panting, looking at An Wujiu with hostile eyes.

Shen Ti held her directly with a gun, "What's your father's name?"

Hearing this question, even Wu You was stunned, and shoved Shen Ti with his tentacles.

[Have you checked your account? ]

Shen Ti almost rolled his eyes and glanced at Zhong Yirou, "Don't even think about it, she must have called Yang Erci to her, then I'll ask her what her name means."

Yang Erci, who was sitting on the ground, looked at him coldly, as if he didn't intend to speak, and refused to cooperate.

Taking a general look at her characteristics, An Wu Jiu judged that the Yang Erci in front of him was probably another person.

Enemy or friend, not necessarily.

An Wu Jiu lowered his head slightly, looked down at Yang Erci in front of him, and showed a very light smile.

"What you hear in the cold room is our voice."

Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, her expression changed.

An Wu Jiu squatted down, stared into her eyes, and continued, "Don't worry, we didn't kill her, she is still alive."

Yang Erci only felt that the person in front of him was terrifying.

He was smiling, his expression was very light, but for some reason, it gave her a deep sense of scheming, and there was a coldness in his smile.

Seeing that she didn't speak, An Wujiu tilted his head, "But we left a small thing in the refrigerator, if you cooperate with us, there will be no problem with that thing."

“Otherwise,” An Wu Jiu stretched out his hand expressionlessly, made a virtual fist between him and her, then suddenly opened it, accompanied by his low onomatopoeia, “Bang.”

Zhong Yirou was frightened by his appearance, it has been a long time since his split state, she rarely sees An Wujiu threatening others.

Even different from the previous madness, An Wu Jiu's madness now is quite calm and much scarier.

Sure enough, in the face of such psychological oppression, Yang Erci couldn't continue to remain silent.

"Yang Ce." She looked up at Shen Ti, "My dad's name."

Shen Ti raised his eyebrows, "It's really the same." He put down the gun, took out a lollipop he just found from his pocket, tore the packaging bag and stuffed it into his mouth.

Shen Ti pointed at Zhong Yirou and asked vaguely, "Do you know her?"

Yang Erci didn't look at the direction he was pointing, and was unmoved.

Shen Ti took out the lollipop and paused.

"She's your wife."

Zhong Yirou was terribly nervous at first, but when she heard his words, she suddenly became angry, grabbed the thing at hand and smashed it at Shen Ti, "Can you be serious? When is it..."

An Wu Jiu also sat down on the floor, facing the short-haired Yang Erci, "The person in the refrigerator room looks just like her."

"Yes." Yang Erci admitted, "Exactly the same, there is someone who looks just like me by your side."

An Wujiu nodded, "You can describe more about yourself, such as how many games you participated in at the altar, what games, your occupation, your residence...etc, the more the better."

Yang Erci didn't want to say it at first, but she thought of the person in front of her just now and felt threatened, so she said it anyway.

According to her words, they knew that this person and Yang Erci had exactly the same life, from birth to the death of their father.

The difference is the part after she entered the altar, she has experienced the game in the shelter center, but she has never met Shen Ti and An Wu Jiu, but other people, including Zhong Yirou and even Nan Shan, because There is a Taoist priest in her description.

In addition, what she encountered when she returned to reality from the altar was different. After returning to reality from the shelter center, she woke up in the middle of the night and the apartment caught fire, so she had burns on her hands, and After that day, she cut her hair.

In her description, she had already established a relationship with Zhong Yirou, she took the initiative, and her father was not dead. Before Shuangyue appeared, she had even located her father's position, and only went there to find him.

So she's on her way to her father's hideout, into this escape copy of reality. Unlike them, she and a friend were together when they were initialized, but during the process of their escape, they found another person who was exactly the same as the friend.

The man first asked them for help, and later, when she finally accepted to walk with her, she took advantage of her to find a new weapon, killed her friend, the man's alter ego, and stole her aircraft.

She was alone, trapped in endless regret and danger, and by the time she finally found Zhong Yirou in the chaos, after wasting a lot of time, she had been bitten by pollutants.

Too late.

She watched Zhong Yirou gradually lose her appearance, but she couldn't move her hands. She struggled to the end, she could only tie her up, stole a car that could hold pollutants, and carried Zhong Yirou to a place where there was no one.

That night, she didn't close her eyes and kept changing places. If she didn't eat the pollutants, she would go crazy. She cut her arms open and fed her blood, but it didn't last long.

She didn't feel relieved until she found this supermarket.

But she never imagined that the pollutants that had completely lost their humanity were beyond her control. So when she came back after taking the medicine, she saw with her own eyes that the former lover, the current monster, killed the people who came to the supermarket to take refuge.

Yang Erci was exhausted. She used the anesthesia method Zhong Yirou once taught her, stabilized her with the maximum dose of anesthesia and sedatives, locked her up, gave her raw meat, and kept her by her side like a beast.

She was trying to get in touch with her father when they came. In the monitoring room on the second floor, she discovered the existence of several of them, especially the pollutants around them, which seemed to be able to be controlled.

Yang Erci didn't understand and felt incredible, so he left the monitoring room and quietly went to find the huge pollutant.

She never expected to see Zhong Yirou's normal appearance again.

But she just saw it, and saw her joking with the pollutant, touching his tentacles with her hands. Yang Erci couldn't help but think that the person who killed her friend had the exact same face.

At that time, she told herself that if she met someone like Zhong Yirou, she must be killed.

Otherwise, she will definitely be confused, it is the same face after all.

Unexpectedly, it still failed.

After hearing what this short-haired Yang Erci said, Shen Ti held a lollipop in his mouth, gave a long hum, as if thinking, and then suddenly came to a conclusion.

"Could it be a parallel time and space?"

There are completely different parts and there are overlapping parts, and it is indeed very similar to people who exist in parallel time and space, although this theory has not been really proved.

But An Wu Jiu doesn't think it's surprising, at such a time, what is unscientific or unscientific, as long as it happens in the altar, it is possible to be more mysterious.

But this parallel time and space seems to be different from what he knew, not completely parallel. Judging from Yang Erci's life experience, for a long time before, the two of her were the same, like overlapping worlds.

After entering the altar, bifurcations began to appear, turning into two wrong paths.

He suddenly thought of two moons in the sky.

Does this mean that,

Now this whole world is two overlapping spaces.

The land they are stepping on at this moment is probably not their own time-space territory.

"I've already said everything I can say." Yang Erci looked into his eyes coldly, "Is that enough?"

An Wu Jiu stood up and stretched out his hand to pull her, but the other party did not appreciate it.

"I'll give this back to you." Zhong Yirou took out the pistol and handed it to her, but when she handed it out, she accidentally took out a pain-relieving bandage from the package. She quickly took it out and stuffed it back into her pocket. Embarrassedly smiled, "I just found this myself, it's quite expensive..."

Yang Erci stared at the pistol for a while, then raised his eyes and stared at Zhong Yirou's face.

Zhong Yirou was a little overwhelmed by her stare, and wanted to say something, but the other party was one step ahead of her.

"It's really like."

The same covetousness and greed for money, the same soft-hearted.

The short-haired Yang Erci took the gun from her hand and said with a blank expression, "You hand the gun to the person who wants to kill you, are you not afraid that I will do it now?"

Zhong Yirou smiled and shook her head, "If it was the Yang Erci I like, I wouldn't kill the Zhong Yirou you like."

"You are the same about this," she said.

After hearing this story told by Yang Erci, about the two of them, Zhong Yirou suddenly felt relieved.

Even if the Yang Erci who belonged to her left, she would not be so sorry.

It turned out that she also loved herself in another time and space, how lucky it was.

Yang Erci's hat fell back, revealing her short blue-black hair. The faces are the same, but they don't seem to be the same.

She didn't speak, turned and left.

An Wu Jiu stared at her back and suddenly opened his mouth.

"I didn't set a time bomb."

The opponent's footsteps stagnated.

"there's one more thing."

In essence, she is also Yang Erci, his friend.

An Wujiu asked, "Would you like to go with us?"
