    Zhang Fanyu couldn't grasp the envelope that just arrived at his fingertips.

    The thick envelope hit the ground with a dull sound.

    His brown eyes trembled slightly, his eyes were a little flustered, but he seemed reluctant to miss Xiang Ya's expression, and his eyes would involuntarily brush her face.

    In the end, Zhang Fanyu calmed down and set his eyes on her.

    Although Xiang Ya used the word "like" in what he said, he could see the seriousness in her eyes.

    The girl who was only a half palm away from him had a pair of clear eyes that he had never seen in his short life.

    Xiang Ya is waiting patiently and expectantly for his own reply.

    "Well, I see," he replied.

    Xiang Ya's eyes widened slightly, as if it was hard to imagine that he would get such an ordinary answer.

    But in the next second, Zhang Fanyu picked up the fallen envelope, bowed his head and carefully patted off the scattered dust on it, and put it back in Xiangya's hands.

    The envelope was heavily pressed in Xiang Ya's hand, and Zhang Fanyu's cold voice seemed to bring some warmth.

    "I have a good relationship with you, and it just so happens that I also seem to like you very much."

    From Xiang Ya's perspective, his eyelids are slightly closed, making it impossible to see the emotion in his eyes.

    But Xiang Ya saw the extent to which the corners of Zhang Fanyu's mouth twitched, and she also subconsciously laughed.

    Zhang Fanyu raised his head at the right time, raised another hand that hadn't patted the dust, and gently rubbed the hair on the top of Xiang Ya's head.

    His eyes flickered with broken light, and his expression was soft and joyful.

    "My Xiangya, I really like it."

    The corners of Xiangya's mouth lifted up uncontrollably, and the loneliness that had trapped her all afternoon was now far away from her.

    Xiang Ya finally squinted his eyes with a smile, and his head took the initiative to rub the big hand on his head.

    "Me too!"

    ...

    The two who have established a relationship are not as shy as the young couples who did not know how to get along at the beginning.

    On the contrary, Xiang Ya has moved his body freely, his shoulders resting on his shoulders, leaning closely with Zhang Fanyu.

    She and Zhang Fanyu looked at each other, gathered up courage, and opened the envelope.

    As she expected, what was hidden in the envelope was an old wooden yellow notebook.

    This is a report log.

    The name on the cover of the book reads "Xiang Ya".

    Xiang Ya subconsciously touched the red earrings on her ears, her record book was still inside.

    The current book is probably the first time she entered An Cheng when she was young, and she left behind a record book of sleep trial reports.

    This is the information that Xiang Zhonghe left his daughter with the most information in the most limited time.

    Xiang Ya slowly opened the first page.

    Although these contents were all recorded by Xiang Ya when he was 8 years old, the handwriting on the paper is already clear and distinct.

    When she was young at that time, the things she recorded were very concise, with so many blanks on the paper, she only directly wrote the cause of the ghost's death, and didn't say anything else.

    "Li Ghost King Welfare, cause of death: Wife Zhao Zhen stabbed to death with a knife. Rating: S grade."

    In the first copy, Xiao Xiangya stepped into the world of S Level.

    Xiang Ya's expression became more serious, and she turned to the second page.

    "Ghost Chen Geer, cause of death: Poisoned to death by classmate Wang Zhu. Rating: SS."

    In the second copy, she has skipped to the SS level which is more difficult.

    Xiang Ya's hand paused there, and both she and Zhang Fanyu understood how difficult it was to pass the SS-level dream dungeon, even though it was written by her when she was a child, Xiang Ya still couldn't believe it.

    She was even a little afraid to read the next content.

    Zhang Fanyu took the notebook and said, "I'll do it."

    He turned to the third page, and the difficulty of the dungeon was changed to S-level. After flipping through several pages, the rating results inside were sometimes S-level and sometimes SS-level. The dungeon difficulty was often crossed, unlike Xiang Ya's gradual increase .

    In the first ten pages, no special clues appeared for the time being, until Zhang Fanyu turned to the eleventh page.

    For the first time, other content appears in Bud's terse report of the truth about his death.

    Zhang Fanyu stared intently at the extra line, and read out gently: "Wang Fuli, died on April 30, 2007."

    He immediately said to Xiang Ya: "If we read correctly just now, the first dungeon of Li Gui Wang Fuli, he was the one who figured out the cause of death when Xiang Ya cleared the level on March 5..."

    He said quickly while turning back to the first page in front.

    As soon as the words were finished, the book had turned to the first page, and the bottom of the page was written March 5, 2007.

    The silent silence reappeared until Xiang Ya regained her voice, and she continued: "On the second page, the SS Level where Li Gui Chen Geer is, I passed on March 12."

    "Let's look at the content on page 11 and onwards to see if there are any words like this?"

    Zhang Fanyu quickly turned to the content on page 11 and later, and finally found similar words on page 15.

    "Chen Geer, died on May 8, 2007."

    Zhang Fanyu's brows became tighter and tighter, and he kept turning back. There were not a few words that appeared suddenly like this. Even in the later stage, in the same page of the report, the names of several ghosts that had appeared before appeared.

    These people died later than Xiang Ya cleared the customs.

    A sentence of succinct words is like revealing and waking up the spectators who are flipping through this record book.

    Xiang Ya's voice became heavy: "This information is probably what my dad wants to tell me."

    "Zhang Fanyu, I believe you can see the problem," she pointed to the notebook lying on her lap, "I have entered many dungeons before and met some ghosts, but gradually I found that they did not die in the past, but died in the past." in the future."

    "You say, is this possible?"

    "Possibly." Zhang Fanyu closed the notebook, looked sideways at her, "I still remember that I told you before that you were investigated because you were involved in the murder of Xierwan."

    "In that murder case, the deceased was Yan Li's younger sister. I haven't mentioned this to you..."

    Xiang Ya's breath stagnates, the name Yan Li is too rare, and it is unlikely that the deceased's sister is a coincidence of another person.

    "and……"

    "and……"

    The two spoke in unison, Zhang Fanyu didn't continue, he knew that Xiang Ya had noticed something strange.

    "Moreover, the real death time of the deceased was the third day after I entered the interview copy, and it also happened in the future."

    "But in the subsequent copies, all the ghosts I met were the dead who happened in previous cases."

    Xiang Ya calmly analyzed.

    "Yan Li knows the existence of my parents, and even met Yan Li before my parents disappeared, and they set up all this together."

    "Sister Yan Li died in the dream dungeon, but it happened as a foreshadowing three days later. This incident seems to be the reason why I entered An Cheng."

    "But in fact, as early as 15 years ago, I encountered similar things."

    "What has been done will be done in the future, what is easy to do will be done in the future, there is nothing new under the sun..." (Note 1)

    The further Xiang Ya spoke, the softer his voice became, until he suddenly realized at a certain moment.

    "It was Yan Li and my parents who wanted to use these two incidents to let me know that the ghosts that appeared in the copy are actually not dead yet, and they will die sometime in the future."

    Zhang Fanyu carefully paid attention to every sentence of Xiang Ya's analysis, thought for a while, and asked suddenly.

    "Xiang Ya, if there are ghosts who are determined to die in the future, do you think An Cheng's ability is so great that he can know things that haven't happened yet?"

    "Can it see everyone's fate clearly?"

    Xiang Ya shook his head subconsciously, and denied: "Impossible. I don't deny that An Cheng is capable, but he exaggerated enough to see the fate of ghosts. In other words, shouldn't it be able to see the fate of all mankind?"

    "But is it realistic?"

    "Obviously not possible."

    Zhang Fanyu nodded, "So it's not An Cheng who sees the future destiny."

    "Do you still remember the parallel universe that Shi Lai mentioned before? And my manager Lu Hua once mentioned the reason for the promulgation of the new regulations——"

    "Because in the past, some managers directly exchanged tenant information for clues to clear the level for sleep testers, but once those people reach the difficult dungeon above S level, they will definitely die."

    "At that time, I couldn't figure out the reason, and I didn't understand which restraining force the sleep testers violated to cause such a tragedy."

    As a criminal police officer, Zhang Fanyu can often find abnormalities from clues.

    "However, after the discovery just now, I have a bold guess in my heart."

    "If you connect these two unrelated things, it's like..."

    He raised his hands in parallel, and suddenly, his left hand rushed forward, passing halfway over the right hand.

    Xiang Ya couldn't help looking at his hands.

    "Just like this, two parallel universes, no, it should be parallel time and space, and one speeds up..."

    Xiang Ya understood what he meant, and responded: "You mean that one of the two time-spaces that were originally at the same speed has exceeded one. The slow time-space has not happened yet, but the fast time-space has already happened."

    "The Specter in the dream copy came from a fast time and space, and the data obtained by the sleeper at that time also came from a fast time and space, so that the Specter can die in the 'future' in this slower time and space."

    As soon as these words were said, the two of them breathed out in unison.

    Xiang Ya continued to ask along this line of thought: "If this is the case, why does obtaining the death information of Li Gui's future make the sleepers die as if they were 'cursed'?"

    "Because, parallel time and space are derailing." A male voice sounded from the door.

    Shi Lai brought Lu Hua to Xiang Ya's house.

    Shi Lai folded his arms and looked at Lu Hua like a stress reaction, and blurted out the reason.

    Lu Hua may not have noticed, his own memory is slowly recovering.

    He continued to speak to himself: "Parallel time and space originally seemed to be connected by thin threads. If one of them accelerates out of control, the thin thread connecting them will be stretched until it breaks."

    "An Cheng will absorb the clues of dream fragments from different time and space, and will also come from the future."

    Therefore, it is not An Cheng who "sees" the future destiny, but absorbs fragments from the future.

    "The clues obtained by the sleepers at that time were all from the future."

    He was afraid to look at people's faces, full of pain and trance.

    "That's why we shouldn't respond!" he suddenly growled in disgust.

    "The accelerated time and space should let it go, and the thin line connecting will naturally break, but if the fragment clue is used-"

    "That space-time has quite heard the response, and the forces of the universe will make it strive to return to a parallel state."

    "How can we run parallel again?" Lu Hua said to himself.

    Shiley heard this rhetorical question.

    He replied silently: "Of course, reinforce the connecting wires and pull them back."

    Lu Hua looked at Xiang Ya, and seemed to be looking at the distant past.

    He then asked: "How can we strengthen it..."

    Shi Lei didn't speak, he also looked at Xiang Ya.

    Xiang Ya looked at the two high-ranking people at the door not far or near, and when he heard these words, his heart sank violently into his body.

    If everything is connected...

    Why did the sleepers who used fragments of future dream clues die?

    Because they responded.

    If you respond, you will sacrifice the soul, let the souls climb one by one, overlap and stick on the thin line, and pull back the distant time and space.

    Xiang Ya was completely shocked, she did not expect that the reason for the accident that year was like this.

    If thinking from this reason continues, the truth will become more and more terrifying, and An Cheng's position in it will become more and more unclear.

    She recalled the second conversation she had with Yanli, when Yan Li said that the dream was constructed by An Cheng.

    However, Xiang Ya combined the people and things he had been in contact with, and determined that the dream should not be constructed by An Cheng, but should be said to be the generation of Specter, which was processed and separated by An Cheng.

    And if these events are laid out one by one, it will be found that An Cheng has received the entrustment of Specter, but it is unable to identify which time and space the other party is from.

    An Cheng even subconsciously accepted these various commissions. What was the reason for passively accepting them?

    I couldn't figure out this question for the time being, and Xiang Ya put it down in my heart.

    Her train of thought returned to analyzing the source of dream clues.

    In this way, it is also possible that the separated dreams come from the future. They are accepted by An Cheng and then assigned to the sleep testers to solve.

    Entering the dream provided by the future time and space, the testers excitedly obtained clues about the dream before entering the dream, and almost all of them cleared the level with full life.

    It's just that these seniors don't know what is behind the customs clearance.

    At this moment, Xiang Ya sighed and said in his heart: 'Clearing the level means that your soul has been adjusted to the best fit, and can become a line that fixes two misaligned time and space. ’

    ——When you enter the high-difficulty dungeon, this silent sacrifice will appear. Due to the cosmic force, you will die.

    When she was a child, Xiang Ya found that some of her dreams were from the future. She wrote down these strange points, and her father, Xiang Zhonghe, learned about it through the record book.

    In addition, Sister Cheng Li said that she met a couple who looked exactly like her parents in Finland.

    All sorts of things were connected, and Xiang Ya suddenly understood that in addition to revealing the super-space-time thing about the record book and sister Yan Li, there was a bigger mystery behind it.

    The disappearance of the parents may be related to the super-space-time. Why does the super-space-time exist?

    Moreover, it is impossible for Yan Li not to know about the tragic death of her sister in the future, why can't she stop it? Why does she have to cover up the truth, and how big is the crisis behind it?

    And fundamentally, why is An Cheng able to absorb the entrustment of Specter from the future? Who was the first to instigate the use of dream clues?

    Does Gui Chi, who has been trying to absorb the power of resentment, know these things? But in that accident, he was the only one alive to be king in the difficult dungeon...

    If he knew, what role would he play in it?

    There are more and more problems, like threads that are scrambled into balls, making people unable to solve them.

    But Xiang Ya knows that her current ability is not enough. She used to be able to handle SS Level with ease, but now she is very struggling.

    Her eyes grew firmer.

    'Not enough, everything is still not enough. ’

    Xiang Ya looked at Shi Lai steadily, "You guys came here not only to tell the truth of the past, but also to bring the information about the next instance?"

    Schley nodded, "That's right, the council and the Security Service are completely torn apart now, and I managed to find a copy that might contain Gui Chi's aura."

    "The next dungeon is SS Level, the multiplayer dungeon "Blood Fog Town"."

    "Are you ready to deal with all the difficulties that come next?"

    Xiang Ya and Zhang Fanyu nodded without hesitation.

    The author says:

    Note 1: "What has been will be in the future, what is easy will be in the future, and there is nothing new under the sun." This sentence comes from the "Bible".

    This chapter is full of real value, please take your time~

    Mainly to solve the pit left by the reality chapter after the second dungeon, the sleeper would die in the difficult dungeon before, because the soul must be sacrificed into a thin wire reinforcement; other problems thrown out are left. Let's solve it next, everyone is looking at a lot of chaos, because the protagonist group is also in such a stage, don't worry, we will fill it back one by one~
