Chapter 41 Game Termination

Ruan Xiao's signal was never connected, and Xia Xiqing looked at the notebook with only three minutes left until the first round of voting.

This one-on-one setting is really torturous. If the other party does not choose him, he will not be able to connect to the signal anyway.

In the last two minutes, Xia Xiqing turned off the red knob and chose the only blue knob.

What he never expected was that the moment the blue knob was turned, the noise of the radio disappeared.

"...Ziheng?"

"I am here."

His voice instantly calmed Xia Xiqing's restlessness when he couldn't wait for Ruan Xiao. Xia Xiqing took a deep breath and said, "Vote right away."

"Yeah." Zhou Ziheng's voice was calm, "I hope no one will be voted out in the first round. Now no one has figured out the situation, and it is too dangerous to vote hastily."

Zhou Ziheng's statement is safe and friendly, which is what Xia Xiqing thought. He originally wanted to abstain in this game, but to be honest, abstention is also risky. If someone votes for him, he will not even have a chance to resist.

"Don't abstain." Zhou Ziheng said suddenly, as if he had the ability to read minds, and immediately read his mind.

Xia Xiqing frowned, gave up the question of [How do you know I would abstain], and directly chose the next step to ask, "Why can't you abstain?"

"I spoke with Ruan Xiao just now. I know that you really want to get in touch with Ruan Xiao now and use her to complete the information of the third space, but she should not be able to connect with you for the time being."

"Why?" Even though he asked, Xia Xiqing actually found out that Ruan Xiao and him only passed the signal once, and after being forcibly cut off by her, they couldn't get in touch again. Strategy, it is impossible for him to be unable to contact Ruan Xiao once.

"She thinks you are the killer." Zhou Ziheng's tone was still calm, "We have all figured out our identity now, but the standard of the killer is very unclear. This time there was no murder, no literal murderer, but in Ruan Xiao's In the concept, there is the initiator."

Xia Xiqing suddenly understood what Zhou Ziheng meant, "She thinks it was me in the first time and space that caused all this? Oh I understand, if I hadn't turned off the phone, hadn't committed suicide, and hadn't chosen to travel through time and space, nothing that followed would have happened. ." Having said this, Xia Xiqing smiled sarcastically, "This kind of thinking can be logical and self-consistent, and there is nothing wrong with it."

The next moment, he changed his tone again, "But why should I trust you?"

Zhou Ziheng did not speak.

Xia Xiqing continued to ask, "What if you are playing a game of alienation? I voted for Ruan Xiao, and with your vote, I can vote her out."

Zhou Ziheng's tone still did not fluctuate, "Do you think I would use such a stupid trick? If I was just alienating, Ruan Xiao didn't really want to vote for you, and you didn't vote for Ruan Xiao in the end, neither of you left, I don't Did it reveal itself?"

Xia Xiqing did not speak, although he doubted Zhou Ziheng's motives for doing so, but it is true that this method of alienation is too direct and stupid, and the probability of failure is so high that it does not seem like a method that a wise person would choose.

"Don't worry, I will abstain, Shang Sirui will definitely abstain, if you also abstain, you will go."

"What if you are the killer?" Xia Xiqing still doubted Zhou Ziheng's intentions, "Then I can't believe everything you said."

Who knew that Zhou Ziheng would directly retort, "Even if I am a killer, I won't lie to you."

He paused, somewhat giving up lobbying, "Anyway, it's just a matter of risk. If you're willing to bet your life on my sincerity, I don't care."

The last sentence is really ambiguous.

Even though Xia Xiqing was so smart, the apex of his heart trembled when he heard these words. He took a silent breath and pretended that he didn't have any waves.

The two-minute countdown ended, and the program group's announcement sounded again.

"Players, the first round of voting starts now! Please enter your favorite killer."

Zhou Ziheng didn't say anything to interfere with Xia Xiqing's choice. Xia Xiqing took out the mobile phone of the show team and clicked on the input box.

If Zhou Ziheng really didn't lie, his decision now is likely to send himself out.

But if he lied, he might cast Ruan Xiao out.

"Please confirm your choice, the countdown begins."

"three"

"two"

"one"

Xia Xiqing finally clicked send.

"The voting results are submitted, players please wait for the liquidation."

The world suddenly became quiet, and the silence for only a minute made Xia Xiqing feel extremely long and difficult. Until the announcement sound of the program group reappeared.

"In this round of voting, the one who was executed was—"

He involuntarily took a deep breath.

"No one. There is a tie in this round of voting. Players, please continue the game. The next round of executions will start in half an hour. Please hurry up and find the killer!"

Xia Xiqing lowered his head and stared at the word Ruan Xiao sent on the phone. So Zhou Ziheng really didn't lie to him, Ruan Xiao did believe that he was the killer.

"Let's talk about the plot of time and space now." Zhou Ziheng didn't mention the vote just now, and went straight to the next topic, "To tell you frankly, I have only found two plot lines so far, one of them and Ruan Xiao's just fits, so if you want to know Ruan Xiao's plot, I can tell you too."

Xia Xiqing smiled meaningfully, "It's saving my life, and it's giving me clues." His tone rose slightly, with a sense of sly joke, "Don't you think you're too partial?"

If it were the former Zhou Ziheng, he would have been so annoyed by his teasing that he would not answer, but what Xia Xiqing did not expect was that Zhou Zi would recognize it directly.

"I was biased."

Xia Xiqing was caught off guard by this straight ball, and he was almost knocked down if he didn't catch it.

"I think we should be considered allies." Zhou Ziheng added another sentence to make the former seem less ambiguous.

"Allies..." Xia Xiqing smiled, "Then I want to ask you, what is your first plot line? If you dare to lie to me, every episode of "Escape from the Sky" after this episode will I am absolutely not allied with you."

Hearing this kind of anger-like coercion, Zhou Ziheng couldn't help laughing, "I won't lie to you. My first plot line, to be honest, starts from the time-travel after you committed suicide in the first time-space, to put it bluntly. That's the plot line of the second time and space. By the way, Sirui should have said about your suicide."

"Yeah." Xia Xiqing deliberately corrected again, "It wasn't me who committed suicide, it was the male protagonist who committed suicide. Professional actors, please don't let anyone play."

"It will be clearer to express it with you." Zhou Ziheng's voice contained a smile, "The purpose of my travel in the second time and space is to save the heroine who committed suicide at the train station, that is, Ruan Xiao, so I traveled to Ruan Xiao. At the time before going to the train station, Ruan Xiao was on the 420 bus at this time."

"I drove to catch up, and the car drove so fast that I almost hit a truck full of oranges on the corner. The oranges were unpacked and fell all over the floor. I had to help them pick them up and wait until I got to the train station. At the time, I couldn’t find Ruan Xiao. Later, I heard the news on the radio that the truck that almost collided with me before collided with the 420 bus bound for the railway station at another intersection. The truck rolled over and the bus Ten people were injured and two died."

Zhou Ziheng took a breath and said the ending with a certain sigh, "The heroine played by Ruan Xiao is one of them."

Sure enough... it's really the butterfly effect.

"Which number of Ruan Xiao's clue is this plot line?" Xia Xiqing asked.

"number 2."

No. 2... In clue No. 2, Xia Xiqing has been at home, turned off the phone, and did not go out. He is the boyfriend who originally existed in time-space No. 2, but he did nothing.

The traveler Zhou Ziheng entered the No. 2 time and space and tried to save the ending but was unsuccessful. Shang Sirui has no clue No. 2, that is to say, Shang Sirui has not traveled to No. 2 time and space.

What about Zhou Ziheng after his failure?

"Then what? Where have you been?" Xia Xiqing hurriedly asked.

"I killed myself and I want to try again, this time to stop that truck, not to make it on the road where the 420 bus would be."

"So...you entered Dimension 3?" Xia Xiqing always wanted the clue of Dimension 3. He was a little excited, "What is the ending of Dimension 3?"

"I didn't die, and Ruan Xiao didn't die either." Zhou Ziheng added a definition for such an ending in a flat tone, "In a sense, a happy ending."

Ruan Xiao in the 3rd dimension is not dead.

This important information allowed Xia Xiqing to get the answer to the question of turning on the fax machine. He walked over to the notebook without saying a word and entered the answer.

twice.

Ruan Xiao, as the starter's girlfriend, has experienced two deaths in total.

Soon, an email reply appeared on the fax machine's screen.

[Congratulations, you answered correctly. ]

Soon, the fax machine delivered a piece of paper. Zhou Ziheng seemed to have heard the fax machine's voice and asked, "Are there any new clues?"

"Yeah." Xia Xiqing waited for the piece of paper, "Are you going to go out soon? You only have two plot lines, and you should be able to fully restore the puzzle by now."

"……almost."

Xia Xiqing took out the piece of paper, frowned, and the paper in his hand was blank. It seemed that the program team did not intend to let him know the truth so easily. Xia Xiqing, who was immersed in a sense of loss, did not hear Zhou Ziheng's voice, "What did you just say?"

"I said soon."

Xia Xiqing thought of what Shang Sirui said at the beginning, that he only got half of the ultimate clues, so Zhou Ziheng should be the same, relying on his own strength, there is no way to get out, is he showing favor now because he knows his own Will the room have clues to the other half?

But this is illogical. If the program team follows the principle of butterfly effect and plot matching, it should be the ultimate clue of a male protagonist and a female protagonist to get the final key.

He should try to find Shang Sirui to see if their clues are consistent, and to eliminate Shang Sirui's defense against him.

In addition, Zhou Ziheng only mentioned the ending of the third time and space, and did not go through it. In Shang Sirui's mouth, what happened in the third time and space is far more than a simple happy ending. As a traveler, he, Died in the third dimension.

All this seems to be calm, but in fact, the dark tide is turbulent.

"Then I have to catch up with the progress." Xia Xiqing laughed at himself holding the blank piece of paper, "I won't tell you, I'm going to cut off the signal now."

"Are you looking for Shang Sirui again?"

"It's really smart." Xia Xiqing laughed, and the hearty laughter sounded particularly nice in the transmission of electricity.

Just before he turned off the signal, Zhou Ziheng suddenly spoke again, "Wait a minute."

"What's wrong?"

"After you get clue No. 3, switch the time and space."

Xia Xiqing was a little puzzled, "Why?"

Before waiting for an answer, Zhou Ziheng cut off the signal by himself. Only Xia Xiqing was left squatting on the radio alone in a daze.

What does he mean by this sentence, and what will the third dimension do to him?

He didn't have time to worry about Zhou Ziheng's convoluted words, Xia Xiqing immediately turned on Shang Sirui's knob and walked to the fax machine. He found that he had just ignored a clue. a reminder.

[Without lights, how can I see the words? ]

It seems like a nonsense, but Xia Xiqing thinks it must mean something.

"Xi Qing?"

"Why so fast?" Xia Xiqing responded, "Are you still in your room?"

"Yes, I got a reminder that if I leave the room, the door of the room will close and I won't be able to go in anymore."

"There's no regret medicine. The show crew is too perverted." Xia Xiqing touched the white paper with his fingers and felt that something was wrong, "Then what do you do now?"

"I don't know. I don't want to go out alone. This is equivalent to going out as a target, especially since I still have half of the ultimate clues in my hands."

Hearing Shang Sirui's tone, he couldn't tell who he suspected, Xia Xiqing asked tentatively, "Is there no hint to the other half in the clue?"

Shang Sirui was silent for a while, "Your question is too direct, it makes me wonder if you know something?"

Xia Xiqing didn't expect that he would stab Shang Sirui's sensitive topic by just guessing, "If I knew anything, I wouldn't be trapped in the clues of the third time and space now."

"You haven't collected the plot line of Dimension 3 yet?"

Shang Sirui's rhetorical question made Xia Xiqing vomit blood, but you should try playing the most difficult dungeon. You have to collect all three time and space, and you are not disturbed by the butterfly effect. It is full of invalid information.

"No, but it should be soon. Just now Zhou Ziheng said that his ending in the third world was a happy one. He didn't die, and he saved Ruan Xiao, but you did. You said you were cannon fodder." He was joking. , Xia Xiqing, who was sitting in front of the desk, propped his elbows on the table and held both ends of the white paper with his fingers. He originally wanted to get close to the light to take a look, but he smelled a sour smell inadvertently.

The taste is so familiar.

"My cannon fodder? Who do you think I'm going to save? If you hadn't committed suicide in time and space 1, would it have caused me to travel through?" Although Shang Sirui complained, his tone was still childish, "But I'm here. It's too bad to die in the 3rd time, if it's a car accident, it's fine, it's actually a traffic jam and I ran to death by myself."

Xia Xiqing was amused by him. What, is it possible that you are still looking forward to a car accident.

car accident?

"Wait a minute, you were on the 420 bus and got stuck in an accident?"

"Didn't I tell you?"

No, Zhou Ziheng traveled to the No. 3 time-space just to change the collision between the 420 bus and the truck in the No. 2 time-space, and successfully changed the ending, why Shang Sirui...

"I see... the 420 you are sitting on is the opposite direction, you are going back to my house to save me..." The amount of information was too great, and Xia Xiqing couldn't help muttering to himself, "So he changed the route of the truck in some ways, The truck didn't hit the bus, but had an accident with another vehicle, blocking the 420 in the opposite direction..."

"Did you contact Ziheng just now?" Shang Sirui heard Xia Xiqing muttering to himself, and felt more and more that something was wrong with him, "What are you talking about?"

Xia Xiqing hadn't completely figured out his thoughts, so he could only answer him perfunctorily, "Well, I just cut off the signal with him."

"The tie in the last round of voting should be between you and Ruan Xiao."

The topic suddenly turned to voting and execution, and Xia Xiqing, who felt suspicious by Shang Sirui, asked soberly, "Do you still ask me when you know?"

"I guess, Ziheng mentioned that he would abstain from voting in the next round of voting if it is not safe."

Really good old man. Xia Xiqing laughed, "You said he persuaded this to persuade that, what exactly is he trying to do?"

However, Shang Sirui smiled and asked, "You really don't know what he wants? If he hadn't adjusted in the middle, who would have died in the last round?"

Xia Xiqing was speechless by Shang Sirui, and could only laugh, "What do you know, this is for the game experience, and I can't let an innocent ordinary player like me play a round like last time."

"Are you really an ordinary player?"

As soon as Shang Sirui asked this sentence, Xia Xiqing understood that he also believed Ruan Xiao's statement a little bit. After all, on the premise that no one knows the killer standard, that statement can indeed be rounded up.

"Is it a bit too cruel and inhumane to question a person who just escaped death." Xia Xiqing snorted, "If you keep pushing me like this, I'll be a mad dog biting people in the second round of voting."

Shang Sirui kept laughing over there, Xia Xiqing stared at the words on the screen, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong.

[Without lights, how can I see the words? ]

Lamp, invisible words, sour smell on paper. These fragmented pieces of information are constantly circling in my mind, and there is no way to get out, there is only one breakthrough.

He sniffed the paper again.

It is the sour taste of lemon.

It turned out to be written with lemon juice, and nothing could be seen after drying.

Xia Xiqing finally reacted, and took the piece of paper into the lampshade of the lamp and pasted the hot bulb.

Citric acid will cause the paper to carbonize more easily, resulting in scorch marks.

After staying for half a minute, Xia Xiqing took out the paper.

"I've decided to go out." Shang Sirui suddenly said this out of nowhere, and Xia Xiqing's hand holding the paper couldn't help shaking.

"Why all of a sudden..." Xia Xiqing was about to complain about him, but after he saw the traces on the paper, he forgot to say the rest.

A few lines of charred handwriting appeared on the original snow-white paper. It was not the plot line he expected, nor the ending of No. 3 time and space written directly in his imagination.

[Do you believe in the so-called fate?

The bounded world line, the inescapable fatalism, the cycle of cause and effect, make you a savior or an executioner.

Remember, there cannot be two "Is" in the same time and space, and the ending must be your life or death. ]

These seemingly obscure words evoked all of Xia Xiqing's previous doubts and confusions in an instant.

What is the ending of the self in each time and space? Why does it look like a marginal person excluded by the butterfly effect?

Why is Zhou Ziheng so obsessed with letting him switch time and space?

"Hello? Xi Qing? What's wrong with you?"

Following Shang Sirui's question, with a beep, a new question appeared on the screen of the fax machine.

"Wait for me for a minute."

A sentence is written on the screen.

[What is the final outcome of the male protagonist who originally existed in time and space No. 3? ]

Xia Xiqing did not hesitate to enter the answer in his heart.

[Congratulations, you answered correctly, please take your reward. ]

A square cover in the upper right corner of the fax machine was opened, and inside was a small box with a four-digit combination lock on it. Don't think about it, there must be the last piece of the puzzle. If it was someone else, they might be cheering, because they are only one last step away from assembling the puzzle and getting out of the room.

But Xia Xiqing knew very well that this game was going to be lost.

He felt that it was a pity that the copy given to him this time was too difficult to capture, and the other party took advantage of the right time and place, and even spared no effort to protect himself.

In the eyes of Xia Xiqing, who is proud and full of desire to win, this kind of action is simply charity, shameful and pitiful, and he has to praise him for doing a good job.

Zhou Ziheng is truly amazing.

The sound of the machine appeared in the silent room. What Xia Xiqing did not expect was that new paper appeared in the fax machine that had ended the mission. a sentence.

[You who are defeated in the same time and space will sleep in the endless darkness. ]

Seeing this sentence, Xia Xiqing suddenly raised the corner of his mouth and chuckled lightly.

It's really a no-brainer.

The tactic of drawing wages from the bottom of the pot is a big move no matter how many times you use it.

"Actually, I can go out right away." Xia Xiqing said calmly to Shang Sirui on the other side.

"Really? Then you want to..."

"I'm not going out." Xia Xiqing cut off Shang Sirui's words, "Sirui, if you want to win this round, there is only one way to go. In the next sentence, vote Zhou Ziheng out, he is the killer."

"How do you know?" Shang Sirui was very suspicious of his sudden change of words, "Do you have any evidence? No, even if you say you have evidence now, I can't see it with my own eyes. Come out first and give the evidence to you. Let's see."

"It's too late." Xia Xiqing squeezed the puzzle in his hand and put him back into the fax machine, "I have only one way to verify that he is the killer, and this is also the only way to win. For the situation I mentioned below, wait a moment. If it happens, win."

He told Shang Sirui what he had expected. Although Shang Sirui didn't understand why Xia Xiqing was so determined, he agreed, "This method of yours is really strange. By the way, your last time was also a suicide attack. Self-destruction player Xia Xiqing."

"I'm also taking a gamble, if I lose..."

If I lose, I can only say that I take myself too seriously. What he blocked was whether Zhou Ziheng cared about the outcome of the contest with himself, or his moral heart.

Or, does he care...

"If you lose, you will vote me out." Xia Xiqing smiled, "Ticket as soon as possible, don't let me stay up too long."

After he finished speaking, he turned off Shang Sirui's signal and left Zhou Ziheng the last chance to talk.

Strangely, the signal between them was connected in seconds again.

"Ziheng, you have gathered all the puzzles." Xia Xiqing talked to him in the most relaxed tone as if he was gossiping.

"Well, I'm ready to go out."

"Then you can't call me when you go out." He laughed, "Then hang up now."

"Wait a minute." Zhou Ziheng hesitated, hesitating, and finally asked, "What time and space are you in now?"

Xia Xiqing looked back at the numbers on the fax machine, and then at the notebook whose screen was black.

"number 2."

The announcement sound from the program team suddenly came in at an inopportune moment, reminding everyone in the secret room, "Players please pay attention, there are fifteen minutes left until the second vote and execution, players please hurry up and find the killer. ."

What he wanted to say was interrupted by the program crew, and Zhou Ziheng simply stopped talking. Xia Xiqing thought that such silence was doubting the truth of his answer.

"You go out first." Xia Xiqing stretched and went to the bed to lie down.

"Um."

After a few seconds, the signal was interrupted.

Xia Xiqing looked at the ceiling and counted the time quietly. One second, two seconds, three seconds.

Suddenly, everything in the field of vision turned into endless darkness, with no beginning and no end. The boundless darkness was like a mountain that collapsed in an instant, pressing down heavily on him, making him breathless.

The program group's announcement sounded.

"Players Shang Sirui, Zhou Ziheng, and Ruan Xiao successfully escaped from the room. Player Xia Xiqing was trapped in the 3rd time and space, and lost his eligibility to escape. The room was locked, waiting for other players to finally clear the level."

The discomfort comes too quickly, and the brain begins to feel dizzy.

Those desperate memories are waiting in the dark. When I was young when I was locked in the dark, my soft and timid heart was swallowed by fear little by little.

No one cared whether he was afraid or not.

When they knew the weakness of their fear of the dark, they used it as a weapon to force him to tame him.

Every second in the dark was extremely difficult, and the infrared camera was still filming. Xia Xiqing could only do his best to hold back his fear.

I knew it was going to happen, but still wanted to take a gamble.

In the room where the power is cut off, there is no means of timekeeping. Since he met Zhou Ziheng, every time he was in the dark, he would lend a helping hand to himself. Although Xia Xiqing knew that he shouldn't pin his hopes on others, he still couldn't help but be tempted.

Xia Xiqing didn't realize that at this moment, he had undergone subtle changes from when he had fallen into darkness in the past. In addition to the fear that could not be concealed, there was a little more expectation. The black that engulfed everything is more like a bait at this moment, enticing him and the person outside the door.

But no matter what, this ruthless bait still covered his mouth and nose, gradually taking his breath away.

The expectation value has been lowered again and again, and it has been eroded by darkness again and again.

In the illusion of no light, Xia Xiqing was just one step away from falling into the abyss.

"Player Xia Xiqing, died."

"Player Xia Xiqing, died."

The long-awaited death announcement finally appeared. In the cold sweat, Xia Xiqing breathed a long sigh of relief, and couldn't help showing a weak and smug smile in the dark.

The door opened with a click, and the light split the dark chrysalis like a sharp blade.

"Player Xia Xiqing, please leave the room and enter the exit seat to wait for the exit."

Xia Xiqing restrained his violently heaving chest and walked slowly to the door step by step. Unsurprisingly, he saw Zhou Ziheng standing outside the door, with his tightly frowning brows.

He actually wanted to speak, but he had already lost his right to speak. Sweat dripped from the corner of his forehead to the jawline, and he looked haggard as if he was seriously ill. With a pale face, he hooked the corner of his mouth towards Zhou Ziheng, showed a smile, then walked around him and looked at Shang Sirui and Ruan Xiao behind Zhou Ziheng.

"It's exactly the same as what you said..." Shang Sirui couldn't figure it out.

Seeing the doubts on their faces, Xia Xiqing couldn't explain more, so he tilted his head with a smile, motioned them not to forget what they had said, and then walked to the circular area with "Exit" written on it.

It was the three countdown of the program group again, the floor of the circular area opened, and Xia Xiqing fell.

Zhou Ziheng, who was still facing the dark room, finally turned around. He licked the corner of his mouth, leaning against the wall with his arms around his chest and back, looking at Ruan Xiao and Shang Sirui.

The ending couldn't have been clearer.

"When I vote out, you can get the half of the evidence in my hand." His sharp eyes made his already sharp face even more aggressive.

"Are you really a killer?" Ruan Xiao couldn't help asking.

"That's right, the male protagonist I represent did save the female protagonist, Ruan Xiao, in the 3rd time and space. In addition, I also indirectly killed Shang Sirui. But these are not enough to prove that I am Evidence of the killer." He raised the corner of his mouth and smiled like a real murderer, "After I got what I thought was a happy ending, I killed the male protagonist who originally existed in time and space No. 3, that is, Xia Xiqing."

"Because there can't be two mes in the same time and space."

He continued, "Originally my plan went well, to deceive your trust, escape from my room, get the other half of the clue, and kill the other half of the rope holder before opening the door. Almost a sure win. ." Having said this, he smiled self-deprecatingly and lowered his head.

Almost a sure win. But not counting, Xia Xiqing, who was under so many restrictions, still saw everything in an instant. Not to mention that his desire to win is so strong that he would rather use himself as a quid pro quo to prevent him from becoming a winner.

Shang Sirui, who didn't know that Xia Xiqing suffered from darkness phobia, couldn't figure it out at all. Zhou Ziheng had already guessed Xia Xiqing's plan, so why did he jump into the fire pit?

The second round of voting began. There were no surprises. Ruan Xiao and Shang Sirui, who knew the identity of the killer, voted Zhou Ziheng, who was only one step away from winning, and took away the last clue in his hand.

"I lost this game, it has nothing to do with ability." Zhou Ziheng willingly walked to the exit table.

The winner of the previous Escape Room became the killer of this issue. He thought he could continue to win the title, but he was still defeated by Xia Xiqing. Shang Sirui has not yet figured out why Xia Xiqing's words were so firm at that time.

"After Zhou Ziheng comes out, within ten minutes, I will be killed. If everything is as I said, you will cast Zhou Ziheng in the second round, and you will win without losing."

Why did Zhou Ziheng have to kill Xia Xiqing? If he didn't kill him, Xia Xiqing would also be locked in the room and would not pose any threat to him at all. Why would he risk his identity to attack a person who has no chance of escape?

These two are so weird.

Zhou Ziheng, who fell into the basement, did not expect that the first person he saw was Xia Xiqing again. Whether it was him who won in the last issue or he who lost in this one, the first person saw after coming out was always Xia Xiqing.

It's just that this person in the last issue chose to self-destruct in order to let him escape, but in this issue, he used self-harm to force him to appear.

Xia Xiqing's complexion has not recovered, especially the pale lips. This time, he didn't rush up to hug Zhou Ziheng, but just stood less than a meter away and looked at him and smiled, like a child who succeeded in mischief.

Zhou Ziheng took off the wheat from his body with a gloomy face, "What are you laughing at?"

Xia Xiqing, who was murdered by him, stepped in front of him and tilted his head, "Laugh at you and I died together."

"If you do this again in the future, I won't care about you." Zhou Ziheng lowered his eyes, not looking at the smile on Xia Xiqing's face. Xia Xiqing couldn't imagine how worried he was, so he asked him to switch time and space again and again, but he didn't expect it to be a lever that Xia Xiqing used to blackmail him.

Zhou Ziheng didn't like this way of killing one thousand enemies and eight hundred by himself. He didn't like it very much.

Seeing that Zhou Ziheng was not very happy, Xia Xiqing, with both hands in his trouser pockets, gently kicked Zhou Ziheng's calf with his feet, "How old are you, why are you so unhappy after losing a game?"

Passing by a few staff who were carrying props underground, Zhou Ziheng nodded to greet them, and then bypassed Xia Xiqing to leave the underground passage, "It doesn't matter if you lose or not, it's because you used me."

It's because you don't care about yourself.

Xia Xiqing turned around, looked at Zhou Ziheng's back, and followed two steps, "Is this a use, I just..."

"Don't deny it."

Xia Xiqing stopped, "Okay, let me use it." A rather indifferent smile appeared on his face, "You don't have to jump into the fire pit."

After saying this, he felt a little regretful. In fact, he was more of a temptation than to use it, but even Xia Xiqing was unwilling to admit it.

Zhou Ziheng stopped, turned around, and walked towards him quickly. don't know if it was because he had been in the dark for too long and had hallucinations in his brain, Xia Xiqing felt that Zhou Ziheng's body was burning like a fire.

He grabbed himself by the collar, his voice low and anger suppressed.

"I'm willing to be threatened by you, but that doesn't mean you can hurt yourself casually."

The heart seemed to be hit by firelight, burning hot and violently beating.

The neckline was loosened, and Xia Xiqing stood there in a daze, as if his strength was swallowed up by Zhou Ziheng's powerful deterrent force. He was always eloquent and could not resist.

Seeing Xia Xiqing so stunned, Zhou Ziheng, who was still furious just now, sighed, glanced at the surrounding area where there were not many people, and used his superb acting skills to look like he was playing with his friends.

He hugged Xia Xiqing, and the two hearts were beating wildly in the chest.

In his ears was his deliberately soft voice, wrapped in a helpless sigh that was lighter than the night wind.

"It's not an example, I'm serious."

The author has something to say:

I've made an update, because I don't think it's necessary to write this part separately. It's better for everyone to watch the ending of the game directly in one chapter. (And you all said that you don't understand, you just want to see love, don't rush it)

Heng Heng is the most gentle killer in history. All the clues he told Xi Qing are true (although he has concealed them), you have found out, he can be connected to the signal by Xi Qing at any time, because he Basically, the knob of Xi Qing is turned on. He didn't want to kill Xi Qing at all, and he had been protecting him all the time. Although in the end, if Heng Heng won Xi Qing, he would have lost, but at least he didn't want him to be voted out or killed. In the end, I was also afraid that Xi Qing's room would lose power, so let him switch time and space, and don't stay in the third time and space.

The dungeon that Xi Qing got this time is really difficult on the level of hell, let's sort it out.

First of all, this script is divided into three space-times, we will call them space-time No. 1, No. 2 and No. 3 respectively.

Time and Space No. 1: It's the original time and space, as you all know, because of contradictions, the male protagonist shut down the female protagonist and became ill, and the male protagonist committed suicide.

The most important thing to understand this script is to always remember that Zhou Ziheng is the hero of the time-travel, and Xia Xiqing is the hero of the original existence. Also, death is the trigger point for crossing.

No. 2 time and space: The male protagonist (Zhou Ziheng) came to No. 2 time and space before the tragedy happened, in an attempt to save the original tragic ending, so he drove to find the heroine (Ruan Xiao). Don't forget at this time, there is also one in No. 2 time and space. The original male protagonist (Xia Xiqing), who was in the room, had already turned off the phone. The male protagonist (Zhou Ziheng) encountered a truck on the road and changed the track of the truck, causing the truck to collide with the bus that the female protagonist (Ruan Xiao) was sitting on, and the female protagonist (Ruan Xiao) died.

Shang Sirui did not travel to the 2nd time and space, he went directly to the 3rd time and space.

No. 3 time and space: At the same time, the male protagonist (Zhou Ziheng) also came to No. 3 time and space to complete the second time crossing. This time, he learned his lesson and stopped the car at the corner of the truck, and the truck left unimpeded. The orange did not fall, and he also went to the station smoothly, received the heroine (Ruan Xiao), and completed a happy ending.

But he affected the track of the truck, and the truck had an accident at another intersection, blocking the car in the opposite direction of the heroine (Shang Sirui). Shang Sirui, who was passing through, tried to save the male protagonist who committed suicide, but fell ill and died on the way.

Time and space No. 3 seems to be complete, but she died of a time-travelling heroine who did not belong to that time and space. So what's the scariest thing about it?

There is one more male protagonist in this time and space.

In order not to violate the paradox of time and space, only one person can survive in the same time and space, so the time-travel hero who knew everything (Zhou Ziheng) killed the original hero (Xia Xiqing) who was shutting down at home without knowing it. In order to stay in this time and space without any worries, get a Happy ending.

The male protagonist of No. 3 time and space also died, the male protagonist of No. 1 time and space, Gas, committed suicide, and the male protagonist of No. 2 (Zhou Ziheng) also committed suicide. This is actually the [World Line Banding Theory], you can take a look if you are interested.

Therefore, the endings of time-space No. 1, No. 2 and No. 3 are actually similar.

So, will the killed No. 3 male protagonist trigger a new time-travel because of his death?

(I don’t know if you understand this script. I simplified it a lot. You can refer to the clues in the text, or we can discuss it in the comment area. It’s really hard to let everyone watch such a complicated and winding story! Thank you.)
