Infinite Metaverse

Under the stunned gazes of the three people in the hotel lobby, a crudely made plastic doll crawled from under the table to the table.

He has a big head and a small body, brown hair, big light blue eyes, a small red and gray long-sleeved T-shirt and denim blue overalls, and his flesh-colored skin has the unique inferior texture of synthetic resin.

The plastic doll's big eyes flashed, its small mouth opened, and it raised its small hand and said to Fu Qinghai:

"Relax, relax, brother, I am also a reincarnation, not some evil monster."

Fu Qinghai inserted a third of the Heart-Breaking Sword back in.

Zhang Yuning frowned and asked:

""The Return of the Ghost Baby"?"

"Bingo!" The plastic doll pointed its little hand at Zhang Yuning and said:

"Miss, you are very knowledgeable. I have been listening to your conversation under the table for a long time. I agree with you. For the horror movie universe, the most important thing is knowledge."

As soon as Zhang Yuning said this, Fu Qinghai immediately remembered it.

"Ghost Baby Returns", a classic old movie from 1988, the story of a murderer's soul possessed by a doll and continuing to do evil.

Fu Qihai put down the Wagang sword in his hand. Although this plastic doll has a rough doll face, its voice is clearly that of an adult male.

The plastic doll continued:

"Guess how I did it. When I entered the universe of Ghost Doll Returning to the Soul, it happened to be the timeline at the beginning of the first movie. I was at the doll shelf of the supermarket where the villain murderer was before his death. I quietly played a tape recorder, and after I recorded the spells he chanted, I found a doll of the same style and recited his spells. A flash of lightning struck the sky, and my soul entered the doll, haha. You say I'm awesome, am I smart or not?"

Fu Qinghai handed the plastic doll a glass of beer. He raised his head and drank the beer. The foamy beer spilled out of his small plastic mouth, soaking the long-sleeved T-shirt on his chest.

Just this scene made Fu Qinghai look at him with a little sympathy.

The plastic doll put down the beer glass that was half the size of his head, with a sad expression on his face. Before the three of them could answer, he said to himself:

"I have a weak wit and I'm a fucking idiot."

The doll's plastic eyes reveal anthropomorphic melancholy:

"I spent assimilation points for this body, I can't change back now, I'm trapped in this plastic doll forever, this body has indeed helped me through countless reincarnation worlds, but now I can't drink wine , and can’t go to bed with a woman.”

The plastic doll stretched out its small hand to Fu Qinghai and said seriously:

"Let me introduce myself, my name is Upton Dupont, from the Ghost Baby Returning Soul Universe."

"Jack Fu."

Fu Qihai also stretched out his hand and shook the little hand of the plastic doll.

"Uh..." Ron Bentham on the side wanted to interject, saying why don't you try to glue a stretchable and vibrating Chengren toy to yourself, so that maybe you can experience mouth-to-mouth It was fun to shoot... But thinking that there was another lady here, Ron swallowed this sentence abruptly.

Ron quickly stretched out his hands to hold Upton Dupont's small plastic hand, and said:

"I'm Ron Bentham, and I haven't acquired my special ability yet."

"Zhang Yuning." The young lady with a world-weary face raised her chin indifferently, not intending to shake hands.

After thinking about it for a second, Upton Dupont complained that he could not do this or that after possessing a plastic doll, but in fact, if he was given another chance, he would still make the same choice.

Because, compared with these personal enjoyments, being able to survive in the reincarnation world is the greatest guarantee.

A plastic doll with no heartbeat, no breathing, no body temperature, no eating, drinking or peeing, as long as he doesn't move around casually, find a corner and lie inside, it is simply a background object that no one will care about.

The night was dark, and when he was lying quietly under the table, even Fu Chenghai, who was a space soldier, didn't realize his existence.

If you can do things, you can use your small and hidden body as a doll to do things, and when people are not paying attention, you will be stabbed, throw a socket into the bathtub or something.

If you find that the intensity of this reincarnation world is too high and you can't do things, just find a suitable corner and lie down directly, and lie down until the end of the plot line, and a reincarnation world will pass.

Fu Qihai was amazed, the world of reincarnation is full of wonders, and some people have thought of this kind of brain-opening idea.

"Well, Mr. Upton Dupont, it seems that you have been lying in this village for a long time, so let me tell you about your discovery."

The appearance of the plastic doll obviously wanted to join the gang, so Fu Qihai followed the trend and asked.

Upton said:

"I've listened to your chat for a long time just now. I know the Rusfan group you mentioned. I noticed them in the small town, but I didn't choose to join the group because I'm used to walking alone, and I didn't follow them either. You go to the monastery, because my appearance in the wild is too abrupt."

"Before you went to explore the monastery, I came to Biertan village at the foot of the mountain ahead of time. I can assure you that there is another group of reincarnations that you have guessed, and returned to Biertan village after blowing up the monastery. The thing that happened never happened! I have been staying in Biertan Village, and I have not seen any reincarnation enter Biertan Village, and only local villagers come in and out of the village!"

Fu Qihai looked surprised and asked, "Are you sure? Could it be that the reincarnated person dressed up as a villager and you didn't recognize it?"

Doll Doll shook her head and said: "I'm sure, those villagers who returned to the village, I followed them quietly. They have their own houses, families, and local relatives. They can't be reincarnations. .”

"This..." Both Fu Qihai and Ron were stunned. This result was completely inconsistent with their logic.

The logical chain is like this:

The monastery was blown up, and Fu Qihai was sure that it was blown up with C4 plastic explosives. This is not something that local villagers can have, and it must have come from reincarnation.

Rusfan led the team all the way to the monastery. His people, his trustees, were also in the team, and they had alibi.

Someone came to the monastery in advance, and the footprints and traces left point to the village of Biertan.

The four people present stopped talking, leaving only Fu Qihai thinking crazily.

His brain was running at full speed, connecting the various fragments along the way.

Rusfan took the initiative to come to form a team...

Rusfan arranged for a trustee in the team...

The monastery was blown up in advance by the reincarnators...

Rusfan intends to murder Ron Bentham...

Ancient books buried in coffins in cemetery disappeared...

After entering Biertan Village, Rusfan and others disappeared...

Along the way, all the reincarnations were led by Lu Sifan and others, but they stayed with the reincarnations almost the whole time.

If Lu Sifan arranged all of this, there would be a dislocation in space and time.

The large team of reincarnators set off from the small town in the morning and went to the monastery on the mountain. They arrived in the afternoon, and the distance was not close.

How do they make up the time difference?

The special ability of reincarnation?

Fu Qihai closed his eyes, carefully recalling all the details after meeting Lu Sifan.

He was pale, and liked being called Sir, as if a noble title really meant something...

He has dark vision, but is afraid of sunlight...

He could quietly sneak into Fu Qinghai's room on the second floor of the hotel, but the aunt at the front desk on the first floor didn't notice...

Early the next morning, it was agreed to leave early in the morning, but Lu Sifan, who was the initiator, arrived late...

It's obvious, isn't it?

Fu Qinghai opened his eyes and said slowly:

"Currently, someone is setting up a trick, and the biggest suspects are Lu Sifan and his gang."

Fu Qihai said in a deep voice:

"The reason for doubting them is simple. Ruthfan has been guiding all the reincarnated people to act according to his plan throughout the whole process. They even tried to bury Ron alive and kill another person in the team who had watched the movie "The Nun."

"Then we might as well make a bold guess...the monastery was actually blown up by Rusfan himself!"

Ron asked: "He had a detailed discussion with us in the cellar last night, and set off together the next morning. No one was left behind on the way, and no one joined our team. How did they blow up the monastery?"

Fu Qihai said: "There are many ways for reincarnators to play out the time difference, the teleportation of mutants, the dimension gate of Marvel mages, all are fine, but we can't make wild guesses without margins. Think about it carefully, Romania is Whose hometown?"

"Count Dracula... the ancestor of vampires!" Upton DuPont immediately replied.

"That's right." Fu Qinghai nodded, "Look at Lu Sifan's behavior and demeanor, don't you think he is very similar. We are too accustomed to the sci-fi genres in modern society that are deconstructed and reset in movies. The concept of vampires, let’s recall carefully, what abilities do vampires have in those early classical gothic vampire movies?”

"Bat!" This time it was Ron's turn to answer, and he said excitedly: "Yes, "Four Hundred Years", "Van Helsing", "Dracula First Year" and many other classic vampire movies from the black and white silent film era , Dracula inside will turn into a bat!"

Fu Qihai nodded in satisfaction: "That's right, in those magical vampire settings, vampires can transform into bats! By flying, you can beat the time difference and blow up the monastery in advance!"

"But..." Ron Bentham looked puzzled again and said: "How big can the bat he turned into be? It can actually carry C4 explosives that are enough to blow up the monastery. The two reincarnations under Rusfan are not the same." Not vampires, they stayed in the town until they left."

"And the most important thing is that Valak left the monastery. The devil needs to possess a living person to leave the monastery. It is true. I have seen the movie and the setting is like this. Could it be that Rusfan let Valak possess himself? Is it? But Rusfan doesn't look like he is possessed by a demon, he even has the leisure to explain the plot of the movie to other reincarnations."

Fu Qinghai smiled and said: "It doesn't take a big C4 bomb to blow up an ancient monastery with a masonry and wooden beam structure. Besides, we don't know how big the vampire bat Rusfan transformed into is. Let's start with this question. No discussion."

"As for your second question, I have two explanations. The first one is that Valak possessed Rusfan, but only stayed in his body instead of taking away Rusfan's will. But this possibility Sex is entirely at the whim of the demon Valak, how can one place one's hopes on the whims of a demon?"

"Then the second possibility, have you forgotten that in many classical settings, the vampire also has another ability-to make ordinary people become his subordinate servants through first embrace."

Ron Bentham was surprised: "You mean..."

Fu Qinghai nodded: "Yes, judging whether Rusfan is possessed by the devil does not depend on his external performance. Even if we assume that even if he is possessed by Valak, he will not lose his will. But as a reincarnation person, If you don’t have complete assurance, you probably won’t dare to let a demon take possession of you. The reincarnator has no immunity from mind control. If he dares to let a demon take possession of him, then there is a great risk that his body will no longer be under his control.”

"Upon Dupont said that no reincarnators have entered the village, but local villagers have. Who knows whether these villagers who returned to the village went to their own grape fields or to the monastery on the mountain? "

"But..." Ron Bentham frowned and thought, and asked a question: "You did conceive of a series of conditions for Rusfan to blow up the monastery and allow the demon Valak to leave the monastery through the possession of villagers, but , he made such a big circle, what is his motive? Shouldn’t the goal of all our reincarnations be the sealed demon Valak? Why would he deliberately go against the reincarnation mission? "

Fu Qinghai looked deeply and said: "Good question. Regarding Rusifan's motives, I think... I'm afraid we have to find the answer from the pile of ancient books that disappeared in the coffin in the cemetery."

Hearing this, Ron Bentham was thoughtful.

Fu Qinghai raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said: "Now all this is just my hypothesis. What exactly is Ru Sifan's plan? Whether he is a classical vampire with magical orientation or not, none of us know, but we can still verify it. , now the only blind spot in the whole village is the old castle that Rusfan personally led the team to search for, I believe that the answer must be in that old castle!"

Hearing this, Ron Bentham asked excitedly and nervously, "So are we going to sneak into that old castle now?"

Fu Qihai shook his head slightly, turned his gaze to the plastic doll sitting on the table, and said:

"It's not us, but someone else, who is more suitable to sneak in than anyone else."

Upton Dupont was stunned and asked:

"You mean me? Let me sneak into that old castle to find out?"

Fu Qinghai nodded: "That's right."

The plastic doll pondered for a while, and said, "It's not impossible, after all, this is indeed a job I'm good at."

At this time, Zhang Yuning, who was quietly listening the whole time and hadn't spoken, suddenly interrupted:

"Everyone, don't you think this killing lasted for a long time?"

Um? What's the meaning?

The three men (male dolls) were all stunned.

Zhang Yuning said calmly:

"In the whole Biertan village, there are only a few local people. Is it enough for the reincarnations to kill? This killing has been going on for several hours. It has continued until now, and the sound of hacking and killing can still be heard one after another. , The killing is still going on, so who is the one who is being killed now?"

Hearing this, Fu Qinghai slowly widened his eyes.

Just when the four of them were sitting in the hotel and were discussing continuously, there were still intermittent sounds of gunfire, shouts of beating and killing, and screams of dying outside.

Fu Qihai didn't pay attention to it at first, but after Zhang Yuning reminded him, he realized...

The reincarnators are already fighting with each other!

And this is very unreasonable. If we really want to follow the so-called "exclusion method" of the lean man, the reincarnators in the team should gather together after killing all the local villagers to discuss whether they have found the demon Valak or the like. Things, and then decide whether to "exclude" from the weaker reincarnation.

But now, the reincarnations have directly started killing each other, and this has completely turned into a chaos, rather than some elimination method to find the demon Valak.

A thought emerged in the minds of the four present at the same time:

It was Valak, the demon Valak came, and he began to possess and kill people in the village...

The real villain of the movie "The Nun" is finally about to appear at this moment.

At this time, outside the hotel door, under the faint moonlight, a shaky figure appeared at the hotel door.

It's the lean man.

He was holding a Browning M1911 in one hand, the bridge of his nose was bent and twisted, his entire eye sockets were pitch black, and in the pitch black sockets were two pale eyeballs that looked like little white dots.

He raised his head slowly, looked at Fu Qihai, his penetrating eyes like small white dots were fixed on Fu Qihai's eyes, and said in a low and hoarse voice:

"I'm here to do the elimination process for you, kid."

In the hotel lobby, the four people facing this thin man didn't notice...

The black wooden cross hanging on the wall of the hall quietly started to rotate counterclockwise, slowly rotated 180 degrees, and turned into a...

Inverted cross.

Thanks, Limulu O Tempest, for the tip from book friends.

I broke my promise... I overestimated myself, I thought I could write 8,000 to 10,000 words in one breath today, and end the dungeon world, but I finally found out that it was not possible...
