After the Strange Talk Prevails

　　 "Ding Dong!"

　　 The doorbell rang, and no one opened the door.

　　 Is nobody home?

　　The woman ringing the bell stood at the door, hesitating whether to ring the bell again.

　　...

　　 "Ding Dong!"

　　 She pressed the doorbell for the second time.

　　 "Bang Dang!"

　　 There was the sound of furniture colliding inside the room, and it was obvious that there was someone in the room.

　　 But after the sound, the room returned to silence. She hesitated for a second before reaching out to ring the doorbell again.

　　 This time, before the finger touched the button, the door lock suddenly rang, and the green leather security door suddenly opened a five-centimeter wide slit, and a tired face appeared behind the door, looking at her sneakily.

　　 "Um...what's the matter?" Zhou Ming asked.

　　 The woman looked at each other, and the beautiful young man with faint dark circles under her eyes was her neighbor who had just moved in not long ago, named Zhou Ming.

　　 At this moment, the other party is passing through the crack of the door, looking at her nervously.

　　 I don’t know if it’s her own illusion. She thinks Zhou Ming today looks a little different from the past. It seems...a bit uneasy?

"What's up?"

　　 Zhou Ming asked again.

The woman recovered her senses and quickly said, "Oh, that's it. The gas stove in my rental house is broken. Someone has to repair it, but I can't contact the landlord, so I want to ask... Can you contact him? "She asked timidly, while secretly looking at each other.

　　 After listening to Zhou Ming, he lowered his head slightly and was silent.

　　 In this silent gap, the woman has been waiting for the other person to speak, but he was silent for a full five seconds.

　　 For a simple question, this time is a bit too long.

　　 So, she frowned and asked softly: "Are you busy?"

"Ah? I'm a bit busy, cleaning up!" Zhou Ming recovered, touched his nose, showing an apologetic smile, "What did you just say? Contact the landlord? I'm sorry, I can't contact you. To him."

　　 "Oh." The woman nodded lightly and glanced at Zhou Ming, a little disappointed and a little confused.

　　 In the past, as long as she defaulted on the rent, she would be urged frequently by the landlord. If she owed her rent longer, she would be harassed by the other party.

　　 This time, she intends to take the initiative to pay the rent owed before, but she can't contact the other party. This kind of contact has been going on for a while... This is very strange.

　　 "If I contact him, I will tell you immediately." Zhou Ming added,

　　 The woman raised her head when she heard the sound, and found that the other person was looking at herself with a smile.

　　 The other party didn't say a word, as if waiting for her to leave.

　　 At this time, she realized that she was interrupting for a long time, so she cast aside her happy doubts, and then said: "Wait a minute, I have something to trouble you!"

　　 Then, the woman took out the ceramic box she had brought, held it in front of her chest and looked at Zhou Ming: "Can I warm up dinner with you? There is no microwave in my house."

　　 This is the second purpose of her trip.

　　 Zhou Ming glanced at her, hesitated for a moment, and stretched out his hand: "I'll help you heat it up. I just sprayed the detergent in the room, so it's not easy to move around temporarily."

　　 "Oh, good, good."

　　 The woman handed the ceramic box in her hand to Zhou Ming and turned her head slightly to look into the room, but she didn't know whether the other party was intentional or unintentional. She tilted her body slightly, which happened to block her peeping into the house.

　　 Zhou Ming took the bento box, closed the door casually, and breathed heavily.

　　 He calmed his mind and walked to the kitchen, leaving a **** footprint every step of the way.

　　He came to the kitchen, heated the meal with his microwave oven, tapped his fingers on the countertop lightly, his expression was slightly solemn.

　　 The landlord died, "he" killed it.

　　 The reason why he couldn't let the woman in was because his bedroom was full of blood.

　　 When the other party knocked on the door just now, he was clearing the scene. If he didn't accidentally hit the cabinet, he would never come out to open the door.

　　 To make matters worse, when he came out, he forgot that the soles were all blood, and now the white tiles in the hallway are covered with shocking blood stains.

　　 Of course, the blood is not the landlord's, he died earlier.

"Ding!"

　　 The microwave oven made a warning sound that the heating was completed. Zhou Ming took out the hot bento, returned to the entrance, opened the door with a wide slit, and handed the bento to the other party: "It's heated."

　　 "Oh, thank you." The woman nodded slightly and stood in place, still having no intention of leaving.

　　 "If... I contact the landlord, I will tell him about you immediately." Zhou Ming said.

　　 The woman nodded "Yes", and Zhou Ming also nodded.

　　 "That's it, goodbye."

　　 With a bang, the door closed, Zhou Ming exhaled in relief, and the fierce beating heart in his chest slowly calmed down.

　　 Although the woman knew him, he didn't know each other, but fortunately, he didn't show her.

　　 Zhou Ming took a few deep breaths, turned and walked into the toilet.

In the mirror, a pair of heavy dark circles hung on a tired face. Although his appearance was beautiful, his brows and eyes were a little cold. This face was exactly the same as he remembered himself, but the complexion was whiter. .

　　 Zhou Ming took a second look at himself in the mirror, supported the sink with one hand, reached out and lifted the hem of his shirt, and observed his body.

　　 This body has very obvious signs of exercise, and he has neglected to exercise since he was a child.

　　 Finally, Zhou Ming's gaze fell on the corner of the mirror, where there was a line of text painted with red paint—[I am you, you in another world, go and turn on the computer]

　　 There is nothing wrong, this body is really not his, it belongs to himself in another world.

　　 There should be no technology in the world that can make a person who lacks exercise sleep and become a muscular man. Even with this high-tech technology, there is no reason to use it on him, a worthless ordinary student.

　　 So the only explanation is that he crossed...to himself in another world.

　　 Moreover, his crossing is not a coincidence, the original owner of this body knew he would come.

　　 There are blood characters left by the other party on the ceiling of the bedroom outside, and the other party also writes in the corner of the mirror in the toilet. This is evidence.

　　 "I didn't expect... such a thing happened." Zhou Ming was immersed in shock, unable to recover for a long time.

　　 After an unknown period of time, he walked out of the toilet and returned to the bedroom.

　　 The blood in the air made him feel slightly uncomfortable, Zhou Ming frowned, and carefully observed the bedroom for the second time.

　　 The wall on the left side of the room is a bed, and next to the bed is a huge bookcase full of books. The wall facing the bookcase is densely nailed with various materials and photos.

　　 Those papers were nailed to the wall by thumbtacks, and the nail caps were tied with red threads. The red threads criss-crossed the wall, forming a weird red spider web.

A large number of folders are piled up on the computer desk next to 　　, and each folder has its own number. These numbers correspond to the photo numbers on the wall, and seem to be detailed information about the photo clues.

　　 If it hadn’t been known that this was the original owner’s bedroom, Zhou Ming might have used it as a secret police base.

　　 "It seems that I am doing something unusual in this world. This is the same as me." Zhou Ming murmured.

　　 Zhou Ming, who loves horror movies and explores rumors, is interested in reading about murders that the police failed to solve many years ago, and then using his own understanding to post ideas on forums and discuss with netizens.

　　 But in this world, obviously he is not just discussing the curious event.

　　 He looked up at the ceiling with peeling paint. A banner hung in the center of the yellowed ceiling, which read-[Don't be afraid, go to the toilet first. 】

　　 This is the first line of words Zhou Ming saw when he woke up in this room, and the words on the mirror in the toilet were the second.

　　 Now, under his feet, is a circular circle painted with red liquid. The painting style of the whole circle is wild and weird. The sticky red lines are shocking, like a sacrifice ritual used by a certain cultist.

　　 The liquid used to paint the magic circle is probably real human blood. He was lying on it when he woke up a few hours ago.

He was glad he woke up lying on it instead of lying on it, otherwise when he went to the door to welcome guests, the other party would see him wearing a blood-stained white shirt standing in the hallway saying hello to her... that way he It must be over.

　　...

　　 Now, Zhou Ming has some understanding of his situation.

　　 The self in this world seems to be neurotic. The other party seems to have summoned him with some kind of cult ritual, left him a series of instructions, and then told him that he had killed three people in this world.

　　 And now, as the second master of this body, Zhou Ming succeeded the other party and inherited the identity of the murderer.

　　 "Calm down, you must be calm, the more adversity you have, the more you have to see your own situation." Zhou Ming muttered to himself.

　　 This sentence was told by his sister next door who grew up with him.

　　 My sister next door is called Ping Xingyue, she is an admirable and outstanding woman and his idol.

　　 In Zhou Ming's memory, Ping Xingyue is a smart person who can handle everything properly... But in this world, she seems to be missing.

　　 Zhou Ming lowered his head, looked at the messy bedroom, and recalled what Ping Xingyue had said to him.

　　 In this unfamiliar environment, he must first obtain enough information to confirm his situation and find the immediate problems that need to be solved.

　　 looked around, walked quickly to the window, and gently opened the tight curtain.

　　 The streets outside are busy and dusty, and the vendors on both sides of the street chat and yell. Judging from the appearance of the street shops, it should be somewhere close to a rural township.

　　 Zhou Ming drew the curtains and began to continue the work that he hadn't done before.

He first mopped the blood on the floor with a mop, then cleaned the floor meticulously again with a rag, sprayed another special potion he had prepared for him, and finally took off the banner hanging on the ceiling and cleaned the entire bedroom thoroughly. clean.

　　After a set of procedures have dried up, Zhou Ming is already sweating profusely, and his body aches.

After 　　 did all the necessary things, he temporarily felt relieved and took a hot shower comfortably.

　　 In the mist, the tight nerves finally relaxed, and the strange video that I had watched naturally appeared in my mind.

　　 The video was specially reserved for him by Zhou Ming, and it contains important information.

　　 He plans to go see it again after he takes a shower.

　　...

　　 After taking a shower, he wiped his body and returned to the bedroom. Zhou Ming sat down at the computer desk and opened the video.

　　 Frankly speaking, he really doesn't want to watch this video a second time, because this video... is a bit underworld.

　　 Click the mouse, the video begins to play, and Zhou Ming himself appears in the camera.

　　 The video was shot in this bedroom. From the point of view of shooting, the other party was using the computer in front of him at the time, and the other person was sitting in front of this computer and took this video.

　　"Hello, if you can see this video, it proves that I have succeeded.

　　 I'm sorry to bring you in, but now that something has happened, you have to do what I told you to live.

　　 I'm sorry...I want to apologize to you again, but I have no other way...I can only do this. "

　　 Zhou Ming saw another man in the video reading a manuscript. The other party was the original owner of this body, the original Zhou Ming of this world.

"I don't know what your world is like, but if your world is normal, it shouldn't be weird. It's like this world fifty years ago... I... Damn... Sorry, I have to calm down a bit. ."

　　 In the video, the original owner has a strange expression. Although he speaks very sincerely, his expression is a little strange. The reading of the manuscript is intermittent, as if reading this manuscript is not his own will, but someone is forcing him to read it.

　　 After a minute or so, the original owner in the video began to gasp, his fists clenched, as if trying to suppress something.

　　 Then, the video jittered slightly, and then the background and light changed slightly. After a few seconds, the original owner re-entered the shooting range from the lens, still holding a copy of the manuscript in his hand.

　　 "I seem to be in a good state of mind today, I will now continue to talk about the last time."

　　 Sure enough, the video of UU reading www.uukanshu.com was edited later, and Zhou Ming affirmed his thoughts in his heart.

　　 "I don't know what the world you were in before, but the world I live in is abnormal. This world is full of weirdness. Anyone can go crazy at any time... I hope your world is not like this.

　　 I will not explain the specific content here. There are corresponding learning materials on the next shelf. At the end of the video, I will also list the book list for you.

　　 Everything you want to know is in these books, and those are the knowledge you must know to survive.

　　 I am now...now to say more important things, you must...must know how to pretend to be me! "

　　 When the original owner said the last sentence, his tone suddenly increased, and Zhou Ming also found that the other party's mood seemed to have undergone some subtle changes.

　　 Zhou Ming leaned back slightly, leaned his back on the chair, and stared at the screen earnestly.

　　 A few seconds later, in the video, the other person's eyes suddenly became cold, and his expression slowly became ferocious.

　　 The next second, the original owner suddenly uttered a terrible roar at the camera: "Damn! Why should I say this! Alienation is the evolution of life, it is not crazy at all!

　　 This world is like this! Anyone who doesn't adapt to the environment should die! Why should I save them? Why should I do things in that stupid diary! why! "

　　 in a hoarse roar, the original owner's expression was distorted because of his excitement. He roared and tore up the speech in his hand, suddenly stretched out his hand, firmly grasping the computer camera.

　　 Immediately after the camera shakes, a big face occupies the entire screen. He stares at the camera side as if glaring at the person watching the video in front of the screen.

　　 "What are you? Why should I give you my body!"
