Chapter 46: The way of life

Lian Zixin's hand holding the parchment was always a little trembling. He seemed to have seen his other self from years ago. Suddenly, a thought arose in him: the first time he entered the apartment, he received this bloodletter quest. Is all …… this a coincidence? Or was it some kind of teasing and taunting that the apartment was doing to him? Perhaps he was overthinking it. But what was certain was that right now, his heart did feel a pungent irony. It was just that, reading the roll of parchment, at least he realized one thing from it. "The one who is killed by demon can't be killed again." The English was easy to understand, even Hanley, who had average English grades, could read it. However, the meaning was really quite puzzling. Humans killed by demons can't be killed a second time. Wasn't that a load of crap? Any resident has only one life! This wasn't a game, with a read file to start over? "There must be some significance to this sentence." Lian Zixin stared at the words dead on and said, "Take it outside and let Dong Xie take a look at it, after he reads it, he might be able to discover something too." "Why don't we give Mu Aishan and Sun Jiamin another call?" Han Lei suggested from the side, "Maybe they know something?" "Then, I'll try." Lian Zixin took out his cell phone, but he thought for a moment that dialing to a phone booth definitely wouldn't be answered. So he called the He Lian number written on the mysterious paper earlier. But dialing out, no one answered. He called the hospital and the phone booth again, and again, no one answered the phone. "Lian Zixin." After pondering for a while, Han Lei said, "If it's really a call across time and space according to Dong Xie, then what exactly can we do to connect with them?" "My deduction is that we may be in a different parallel space-time." "Parallel?" Lian Zixin nodded and said, "Parallel space-time is the only quantum physics hypothesis that can explain the grandmother paradox. In fact, many graphic novels have adopted similar settings." "Hmm …… something like Avengers 4?" After thinking about it, Han Lei said, "For example, The Revenant 3 and The Revenant 4 don't fight the same Exterminator because Iron Man, Captain America, and the others collected the Infinity Gems and changed history resulting in the creation of a parallel space-time, so the Exterminator from the other space-time traveled over …… " "Yeah, that's what I meant. It's a movie I didn't bother to see, it was something I watched in passing to pass the time when it aired online later." "Which means that just as the two movies aren't the same Exterminator, we're not facing the same Blacktooth Evil Spirit as Sun Jiamin and Mu Aisan?" "It's possible. In other words, originally, the Exterminator was beheaded by Thor, but if the Exterminator who traveled over in The Reunion 4 wasn't exterminated by Iron Man snapping his fingers, but instead killed the Reunion instead, the future where he was originally beheaded by Thor wouldn't have happened. At least, it wouldn't have happened to the Exterminator in parallel time." "Hmm …… so?" At that very moment, even Zixin and Hanley's eyes lit up. Could it be that …… "Let's hypothesize, it's as if we were also beheaded by Thor in the future just like the Exterminator, and we're The Revenant 4 previewing the future where we're decapitated. Then ……" At this time, looking once again at the sentence on the parchment scroll, Lian Zixin's heart suddenly became clear! So it was like this! Those who had been killed once by a demon could not be killed a second time. "So that's how it is!" Lian Zixin finally understood why those messages appeared on that mysterious paper. "But who actually wrote that piece of paper?" Han Lei was still a bit perplexed, "Could it be a clue hint left for us by the apartment?" "Perhaps …… but I don't think it's that simple." Thinking of this, Lian Zixin grabbed the cell phone in front of him and dialed the number once again, but this time there was still no answer. Lian Zixin then took his cell phone, turned on the flash, and took a few pictures of the parchment scroll. After taking the pictures, he placed the parchment scroll on the most conspicuous desk in the room. He wasn't sure if it was a parallel dimension or not, but if it wasn't, in the future, Sun Jiamin and Mu Aishan might come here as well, so leaving this to them might give them a way out. After walking out of the room, next, walking along the corridor again warily. He reached for his cell phone and took another close look at the pictures he had just taken, and suddenly noticed something else. "Corpses are not the same as ghosts, they won't move.When the ghosts become corpses, their teeth revert white, and fall on the place where they dead." At first he hadn't paid much attention to this sentence, but now he was a little puzzled. What did Corpse and revert mean? The two words didn't even ring a bell with Zixin. All that could be determined was that one was a noun and the other a verb. The meaning of the sentence was that the Corpse thing (still in plural form) was different from evil spirits in that they didn't move. The latter sentence, in context, infers that it should be the case that when evil spirits turn into corpses, their teeth turn white and fall down where they died. Could it be some sort of moniker for demons? "This cell phone would be great if it could access the internet." Lian Zixin was a bit reluctant and said, "Let's go find out if there's an English-Chinese dictionary here, since you're a doctor, knowledge of English is also important, many important medical papers have to be written in English." "Makes sense!" Then they came to the stairs leading to the third floor. After hesitating for a while, the duo headed upwards. At this moment, Lian Zixin had a premonition that the word corpse might have a great connection with the path to life. At the same time, he resolved to go back and learn English well. "Han Lei, is the path of life beyond the scope of the average person's knowledge? Not everyone knows English nowadays." "This well …… haven't encountered this kind of thing before." The duo went up the stairs, and as a result, just as they reached the upper floors, their hearts trembled. A door in front of them was wide open, and the room inside was exactly the same as the room where …… Xie Xie's body was published in the newspaper! Taking the light from the cell phone and the lighter and shining it through, there was indeed a bookshelf in there as well. The two looked at me, I looked at you, and finally Han Lei said, "I'll go, you help me guard the door." Even Zixin couldn't help but admire Han Lei for being a true man, frankly speaking, at this time, he definitely didn't have the guts. The bloodletter mission, in fact, spelled in addition to IQ, more is the guts! No guts, often life clues in front of the eyes also can not get. Han Lei took the lighter and walked inside the door of the room. He did not look at the bed on one side, that is where Xie Xun died. After approaching the bookshelf, he began to look. "English-Chinese Dictionary …… English-Chinese Dictionary …… English-Chinese Dictionary ……" As long as he found the dictionary, he could recognize more vocabulary on there, and perhaps get more clues to the way of life. The vast majority of the books on here were medical books, mostly related to surgery. Finally, as he shone his lighter on the other side of the shelf, he finally realized that there sat an English-Chinese dictionary! He quickly reached out his hand and pulled the dictionary out, and a large pile of dust followed, Han Lei hastily covered his mouth and nose with his hand. The cover of the book had accumulated a had a thick layer of dust, Han Lei immediately wiped it all off. Immediately afterward, he slowly flipped the dictionary open. "C…… look for C…… first." Han Lei remembered when he used to study English as a student, now in this era, as long as the phone downloads a translation software APP, looking up an English word is a breeze, where is the need for such trouble. He brought the lighter closer to the catalog and swept it down a little. "C …… on this page ……" The words were arranged one by one in alphabetical order, but flipping like this took more or less time. "C……co……" At this time, both Han Lei and Lian Zixin were ten thousand percent nervous! Because they were too nervous, the two of them had even forgotten that …… could take the dictionary out and look at it again ah! Because Han Lei was too nervous, even with Lian Zixin behind him, he would still look back at the bed from time to time. "Found it!" Han Lei finally flipped to the meaning of the word. The noun explanation for this word was …… dead body, especially referring to a human corpse! He looked closer at the explanation on the dictionary and was stunned. Dead body? It means: a dead body is different from an evil spirit, an evil spirit can move, but a dead body can't. When an evil spirit turns back into a necrophile, its teeth turn back to white and it collapses on the …… the place where they died! Just then, under the bed behind him, a hand, reached out from underneath!
