These people have pale faces and closed eyes.
One by one, they filled the car windows.
They crowded together and opened their eyes suddenly.
The dark and empty eyes looked at Cheng Ye.
Under the contrast of black and white, it looks more eye-catching.
As time went by, Cheng Ye felt that their pure white color seemed to be slightly bluish.
Like a corpse that had been dead for many days.
Faces crowded around the car, covering the entire car airtightly.
Cheng Ye remained alert, his body tensed and motionless.
The lights above seemed to be flickering, and Cheng Ye's sight was always bright and dim.
He couldn't see anywhere else in the car.
But inexplicably, he came to think of it. At this moment, his upper, lower, left and right sides, the roof of the car and the bottom of the car were all crowded with faces.
Are they...what?
Is it a ghost?
...or something else?
Cheng Ye held his breath and kept himself stiff.
For a moment, he didn't know what to do.
The alarm bells in my heart kept ringing.
very dangerous.
He is very dangerous now.
In a knee-jerk reaction, he felt that blending in with them was the right thing to do.
And this judgment comes from what the security uncle said just now:
"I received a complaint that you were playing music too loud."
sound.
He disturbed them.
There was no one in this garage, and something felt noisy.
The security guard only came to warn him and did not attack him.
It is reasonable to speculate that he did something illegal.
They thought he was disturbing them.
So come and warn.
The security guard probably gave me a warning before danger approached, giving me a chance of survival.
Although this is an upgrade task.
But it’s also a game.
As long as it is a game, it has its rules and its program settings.
A copy that can be written is a game that has answers and can be solved.
You won't kill someone for no reason.
Otherwise, how can there be a good experience?
Cheng Ye's dark eyes flashed slightly.
There seemed to be a sarcastic smile.
They have long judged that this game has its own intelligence, so a player as good as him should not give him unsolvable upgrade tasks.
He believes in himself and can do it.
really.
About three minutes later.
The lights went out again.
The world plunged into darkness again.
But this time.
In the far distance, there is a faint green light.
That's the safety exit sign.
When he saw this light, Cheng Ye felt relieved.
He's back in the real world.
Because the darkness in the previous times was so dark that I could not see my fingers.
It means that he may be in another world at that time.
Not in one dimension.
But now, he could see the safety exit sign.
It means he is back again.
Three seconds later, the parking lot lit up again.
This time it wasn't the dim warm orange light, but the dazzling incandescent light at first.
He is back.
Cheng Ye suddenly relaxed.
He put his hands on the steering wheel and breathed heavily.
Too dangerous.
However, this time the accident allowed him to discover two clues.
First, the appearance of stones may be things accidentally left in the outer world when the inner world and the outer world are switched.
Therefore, the talents in this community were unscathed in the past few decades.
So the spread of bad luck started from picking up this stone.
Second, Li Yuyun was able to fall from the manhole cover because at that moment, the inner world and the outer world overlapped.
Therefore, in the other world, that manhole cover does not exist.
She fell.
However, this is just Cheng Ye's speculation based on "whether he can see the safety exit sign."
It is not certain whether there is overlap between the two worlds.
But all the doubts that have arisen so far can be explained by this.
For example: that stone made of elements that do not exist in the human world.
...
Cheng Ye only spent three minutes to stabilize his emotions, and then started the car.
Now that he had an idea, he just wanted to go home and check the information.
He believed that with the workaholic character of the original owner, he should have piles of research results at home so that he could get up and consult them when he suddenly felt inspired in the middle of the night.
The car was going very fast.
As the car drove towards the city, the flow of traffic and people increased.
The environment in suburban communities is completely different from that in the city.
There is a serious state of control over there.
But the city is still full of people and traffic.
People wandering on the road don't know that a devastating disaster may be coming...
...
Half an hour later, Cheng Ye finally returned home.
He opened the door to his home with his fingerprint.
open the door......
In fact, there is not much difference between a real home and a rented home.
It’s just that the disinfection equipment installed at home is fully automatic.
As soon as he opened the door, a bunch of potions were sprayed on his body.
I don’t know what they are, but I can smell the strong smell of disinfectant.
On his right side, there are two baskets, one for pants and one for clothes.
Cheng Ye raised his eyebrows.
Obediently, he took off his clothes and put them into the dirty clothes basket.
Then, the door in front opened.
The next room turned out to be a shower room.
Cheng Ye shook his head helplessly.
When the original owner built this house, how did the property owner allow him to install the shower room in this location?
Aren’t you afraid of complaints from the neighbors downstairs or water leaks in your house?
However, after walking all the way, Cheng Ye did feel a little tired.
He rinsed briefly and went to the next room.
Here are clean sets of clothes.
On the left are clothes for going out, on the right are pajamas.
All arranged neatly.
Cheng Ye randomly took out a pair of pajamas and put them on.
After completing this entire set of disinfection procedures, he successfully entered his living room.
It was still the familiar pure white.
This man really likes white.
Probably because white is the least resistant to stains.
Once there is any stain, you can always see it and clean it up at a glance.
Cheng Ye felt a little tired.
He glanced back.
The three rooms just passed are the corridor to the entrance door.
However, he transformed the three-meter-long corridor into three small rooms of one square meter.
This guy is really awesome...
Thinking of the rudimentary disinfection equipment in the rental house, I couldn't help but smile and lower my head.
Perhaps for the original owner, this was already a sacrifice he had made for research.
Cheng Ye only rested for about ten minutes, then stood up and started looking for information.
For someone with such a mysophobia and obsessive-compulsive disorder.
His information will not be placed randomly, but will be placed in the most reasonable location.
Cheng Ye stood in the middle of the living room, trying to put himself into the original owner's mind.
If I were such a mysophobic and obsessive person, where would I put the information?
bedroom?
No way, that's where the rest is.
Cheng Ye turned sideways following his gaze.
Kitchen, bathroom...
Eh?
What about the study room?
Cheng Ye raised his eyebrows in confusion.
Is this house so small?
Cheng Ye stared at the wall in front of him, thinking.
Suddenly, he lifted his legs and walked forward.
No, why is this a wall?
Cheng Ye recalled the order in which he got started.
On the right side of the first room, there are two dirty clothes buckets.
The dirty clothes bucket is connected to a zip line and track, so there is obviously space next door to dispose of those clothes.
Cheng Ye turned sideways and glanced at the bathroom.
Sure enough, there is a balcony behind the bathroom.
The wall he was facing at this moment should be a room.
He stretched out his knuckled hand and pushed gently.
"Click."
The rebounder made a slight sound.
A small gap opened on the right side of the originally empty wall.
Ha ha.
found it.
Cheng Ye opened the false wall door and strode in.
The sensor light turns on.
It's like a library bookshelf, with a whole row of shelves on the left side filled with folders.
And on the right is a table built along the wall.
There is a lamp.
The desktop is very clean, with pens and notebooks neatly stacked on the upper left side.
And on the right.
A bottle of disinfectant water is placed as a matter of course.
Cheng Ye smiled, pulled out the chair, and sat in the seat where the original owner usually sat.
He opened his notebook first.
It is densely packed with daily experiences.
It can be seen that the original owner is really dedicated to scientific research.
"June 25th, sunny.
Today, the properties of the stone have not yet been studied. It is so strange that no matter what method is used, it is impossible to explore what it is.
And its nature always feels like it’s changing.
Sometimes I feel it is harder, sometimes I feel it is softer.
However, the monitored data remains unchanged...
.......
I can definitely detect its atomic weight! "
"June 26th, sunny.
Today, Professor Guo suddenly came to the laboratory with a gloomy look and said that he would move the laboratory to a location dozens of kilometers away.
I know it's a suburb over there.
I can understand moving to the suburbs out of concern for radioactive materials.
But I don’t understand why he wanted to move the laboratory during such a busy experimental period.
We have already reached the third stage..."
"June 27th, sunny.
Today we all have a day off because we are moving the laboratory.
At present, we only know that the density of this magical stone is 3.0g/cm3 (20℃), its melting point is 1800℃, and its boiling point is about 1740℃. Transparent and shiny. It is extremely stable in the air and hardly reacts with anything, but can affect other substances.
This is unreasonable. This stone is indeed full of secrets.
When I go out to look for a house today, I want to be with the stone! "
...
Cheng Ye browsed through it briefly and found the day when Professor Guo said he was going to move the laboratory.
Everything in the front of this notebook is: I will definitely be able to explore more secrets of stones today!
The following content is almost the same.
Only on June 26th and 27th, other content appeared.
The reason why the content is changed is because it affects the original owner's research.
He is indeed an emotionless robot.
Colleagues died one after another, and they didn't care.
Anyway, as long as it doesn't affect his research, it doesn't matter if the world is destroyed.
Cheng Ye shook his head, stood up, and opened the information on the shelf behind him.
A bunch of data is densely recorded above.
The long numbers gave Cheng Ye a headache.
It's all about stones, but it's too rigorous scientific data and no speculation of its own.
It made Cheng Ye feel worthless.
The data that they can monitor should not be that important.
How could it be possible to place the answer to an upgrade task in such an obvious place so that you can see it at a glance?
You definitely need to find the answer yourself.
Cheng Ye chuckled softly.
A stone, although scientific researchers have worked so hard, have not yet figured out its atomic number.
It can be seen that it may not really be a product of the earth.
It may be a product of civilization higher than Earth.
Cheng Ye thought for a while.
He sat down again.
suddenly.
He narrowed his eyes.
Why didn't the original owner go to the laboratory today?
You know, this project took seven months.
He comes through rain or shine every day.
But today, he didn't go to the laboratory.
He didn't oversleep.
Cheng Ye thought about it for a moment.
At that time, his body was standing at the door.
And it faces the living room.
The clothes on my body are not home clothes, but formal clothes that can be worn out.
So at that time, the original owner had just returned from outside.
He didn't go to the lab, where did he go?
Cheng Ye suddenly sat up straight. He opened the notebook on the table and quickly turned to the last page.
He roughly skimmed over all the content just now.
I only looked carefully when something different appeared.
So, he made a mistake.
Human inertia.
Out of inertia, he subjectively felt that the original owner's subsequent content was also related to cheering him up and working hard to study stones, so he didn't read it seriously.
The notebook was turned to the last page.
This note was written yesterday.
"July 8, sunny.
This stone is a bit strange.
Something has been wrong with the rocks since we moved the lab.
how to say......
I feel like it's changing all the time...
No, that's not right.
I don’t know how to say it. In short, it should be more than just a stone...
Or maybe I'm overthinking it. "
...
Snapped.
The notebook in his hand suddenly fell to the table with a crisp sound.
Cheng Ye was stunned.
Four special notes all revolve around a point of view.
That's what's wrong with this stone.
Cheng Ye picked up the notebook and quickly opened it again.
At first, Cheng Ye didn't care when the original owner said something was wrong.
Because this stone is very strange. An element that has never been discovered will certainly make people feel strange.
But now, Cheng Ye felt that this was not what the original owner wanted to express.
He repeated that something was wrong with the stone.
It does not refer to its nature, but to something else.
doom?
Stones spread bad luck…
Could it be that the original owner later observed the special characteristics of the stone?
During his day and night interactions with the stone, he truly saw how the stone spread misfortune.
Cheng Ye stood there, and suddenly goosebumps spread from his hands and feet.
Stones radiate.
Can be contagious.
It spreads bad luck to the surrounding scientific researchers all the time.
Seven people have died.
Why are the remaining people: the original owner, Professor Guo and Xiao Wang?
What is so special about them that they are not infected?
And Xiao Wang, why did he escape from the city just a few hours before the community was blocked.
It is clear that Professor Guo is talking about controlling only this community.
Why in Xiao Wang’s mouth...
...This city will be abandoned...
.......
