Chapter 50: Interference and Parallel

Dong Xie's clenched right hand gradually loosened, he felt that he couldn't be too tense. And what's the point of clenching his fists? He couldn't even beat someone his own age who wasn't even as tall as himself, let alone an evil spirit. Facing them, he couldn't even fight himself. At this time, relying on the light coming in from the open door behind him, Dong Xie could see a tiny, but still clear scar on his palm. This was precisely what the siege that day had left on his body. That siege had been in an abandoned classroom, and the glass of the classroom windows had shattered during the fight, resulting in the other party picking up the glass as a weapon, which was what had left the scars on his palms and arms. There was also an even more striking scar on his right hand, which was still clearly visible until now. He still remembers that when Dong Ning brought Dong Xie home that day, he said, "Brother, if you are bullied like this next time, you must tell me. I'll be 14 next year, only." Back then, Dong Xie never understood why Ning emphasized on being less than 14 years old. It wasn't until later, when information on the internet became more advanced, that he came to understand, and his back broke out in a cold sweat. He must live, and must never let Ah Ning stay inside the apartment alone like this. Never again could he even let Ah Ning protect himself like he did back then! Looking at the scars in front of him, Dong Xie no longer pondered anything more as he took a step towards the front …… Yun Nai just watched Dong Qi walk towards the depths of the darkness, and now, she was the only one left to stay at the door. This way …… how long can she support herself here? The night wind was gradually becoming cooler, and as Dong Qi walked upstairs and gradually disappeared from her sight, all she could do was to guard the door properly. She pulled out her wallet from within her pocket …… Thank goodness, although she was without her cell phone, her wallet was still there. And for so many years, she had always tucked the photo inside her wallet at all times, the only time she took it out was that time when she intentionally tried to lure out the trafficker. The photo, a photo of Lian Zixin's son and her daughter. Although there was also a photo of her daughter alone, she kept this photo in so that she could look at their lost child with Lian Zixin at all times. The only way she could rekindle her courage was to see her daughter. Even if she had to travel to the Nine Hells, she would never give up! Just like this …… time passed …… Although there was no more cell phone, but there was a watch. Time passed minute by minute …… Five minutes passed …… Ten minutes passed …… Twenty minutes passed …… There was no movement at all inside. Yun Nai's heart kept sinking. Could Dong Xie have died inside as well? If he was dead, then she would be the only remaining occupant! Just at this moment, she suddenly heard a very strange sound coming from the interior! This sound immediately made her heart sink, and then she vaguely saw that under a table in the indoor living room, a …… black shadow crawled out! Under the reflection of the moonlight, that black shadow, is clearly a skeleton! …… At this time, on the third floor of this house. Dong Xie slightly pushed open the door, and just as he walked in, he felt resistance behind the door! There was someone behind it! "Who!" "It's me! Dong Xie!" It was Lian Zixin's voice! Hearing that voice, Dong Xie was relieved. Then, he saw that behind the door, Han Lei and Lian Zixin walked out. "You've come in ……," Lian Zixin breathed a huge sigh of relief, "Where's Yun Nai?" "I had her guard the door outside." "Huh?" Lian Zixin was shocked to hear that, "You let her guard the door outside alone?" To Lian Zixin, Yun Nai and Yun Nai had sympathized with each other over the years as they searched for their missing sons and daughters together. "Alright, let's not talk about this." Han Lei said eagerly, "Let me tell you about our experience. We found a parchment scroll that recorded that the head of Blackwater Hospital had used an evil technique originating from ancient demons in order to bring his dead son back to life, and that the plague on the island was the evil consequence of using this evil technique." After hearing Han Lei's words, Dong Xie was also surprised. "The demon that brought about the plague? Could it be Beelzebub (Beelzebub)?" "What is that?" Lian Zixin was puzzled. In order to write horror novels, Dong Xie had surveyed and collected various legends of ghosts and gods from the East and the West, and Beelzebub was a demon in Jewish lore, regarded as a demon that brought the plague. "The name of the demon is not noted on the parchment." Han Lei, on the contrary, seemed to have heard of this name, as if it was the name of a demon that had been recorded in the Bible, "Could it be that there is some corresponding means of resolution?" Dong Xie shook his head, "There isn't. What does the parchment scroll say?" After Lian Zixin told Dong Xie a series of circumstances, he talked about his previous experience of even more danger in the room where he found the English-Chinese dictionary. The duo had almost died in there. After Dong Xie finished listening to all of their accounts, he began to integrate all of the clues into his thoughts. After thinking for a long time, his eyes suddenly lit up! "I've got it ……" At this moment, Lian Zixin felt that Dong Xie's eyes were familiar, just absolutely the same as Detective Conan's look when he sensed the truth of the case and found out the real culprit of the murder! "We need to know the location of the bodies of the future us after we are killed!" Dong Xie pointed at the cell phone in front of him and said, "That's why we need to tell Sun Jiamin and Mu Aisan in the future time and space what we're wearing. After death, we will turn into skeletons, but our clothes will still show who we are. As the parchment says, after death we don't really move, it's only the evil spirits that move, while the bodies are always in the place where they died, so as long as we know where our corpses are, we just need to avoid there!" "Wait, Dong Qi, I'm still a bit messed up ……" Lian Zixin said hurriedly, "You speak slower ……" "There's no time, you call the cell phone number on that mysterious piece of paper first, and next you talk to the other party as I say." "Why am I the one to call?" "You're the one who called the phone booth before, so continue to let you do the talking, and I'll think about whether there's a second way to live." So, Lian Zixin began to dial the phone. And this time, finally the other person answered. "Hey ……," it was Mu Aisan's voice. "It's me." Lian Zixin answered. "Who the hell are you!" "Take this cell phone and keep in touch with me at all times. Also, don't call me, it's useless to call me." This was Dong Xie's speculation, and so far no one had called back at all, except for the fact that the person on the other end of the line was clearly not human. "I just asked you, who the hell are you?" Lian Zixin glanced at Dong Xie in front of him and said, "Listen, next, check your cell phone's address book, then call someone named He Lian. Afterward, you need to tell that person a few things …… First, tell him about an infectious disease death list ……" This was supposed to be He Lian's cell phone number, but Dong Xie wanted him to say that they should call He Lian's cell phone! "…… Lastly, tell him to put the paper with this information on it outside his door, behind that poster on the wall opposite the stairway. No problem, right?" "It's no problem, but ……" "It's about time you saw what this reality show is all about. A bad one is really going to cost you your life." "I, I know …… but why don't you inform me of your identity?" "I'm someone in the same situation as you. That's all." After hanging up the phone and looking at Lian Zixin and Han Lei's all but puzzled expressions, Dong Xie replied, "In fact, those explanations of parallel time and space that you guys were talking about before aren't entirely correct. If we still use the example of Fusion 4, before the Fusion traveled to the past to change history, there was only one Exterminator, and history only ended with the Exterminator destroying half of the universe with the Infinity Glove and being decapitated by the God of Thunder. But it was only at the moment the Reunion intervened in history that parallel time was created. So …… there is no parallel time and space born now. We, are dying only once, sometime in the future ……." Lian Zixin listened with a blank stare. That is to say, in the original future, they were all going to die? "But history changed, we were able to escape being killed originally because of the information passed back from the future, and the demons wouldn't be able to kill us a second time. And the original future where we died became another parallel world. What we have to do is to change this time and space into the possibility of another timeline parallel to the future." "I have a big head …… "Lian Zixin thought about it, and always felt that it was not right: "Our current time and space has already created a connection with the future, isn't it still a parallel time and space?" "Perhaps the creation of a parallel dimension requires a large enough impact on history. The so-called Grandmother Paradox is based on the premise of a causal contradiction to space-time, and as long as this contradiction does not arise, it can still exist." Hanley thought for a moment and said, "It's just like what your novel Mansion 444 says about the temporal curse in one of its volumes? A certain person receives a delivery of frozen meat every month, and he doesn't know who sent it, and still just cooks it and eats it. It goes on and on until a year later, when he's killed and dismembered by an evil spirit, who goes back in time and sends the meat in twelve separate portions to this person ……" "I go ……" Lian Zixin listened to the creepy, "Dong Xie, this is a novel you conceived?" "So …… "Han Lei stretched out a finger and said, "The crux of the matter lies in the fact that even if history is interfered with, no paradoxes have arisen in this story, so there is no parallel time and space. " "Right …… because the interference wasn't big enough to create a parallel space-time. Opening up a parallel timeline where we survive is the way to survive this Bloodletter mission!"
