After eating the pancakes in an exaggerated manner, Cheng Ye left the subway entrance in three steps and two steps to escape.
He was afraid that the thing on him would inexplicably want to eat something else.
He looked down the street and took a visual look at it.
Although there are no other stalls in sight for the time being...
But in order to avoid accidents, he directly waved down a taxi.
Only 500 meters walking distance…
About two minutes later, Cheng Ye arrived at the gate of the community.
The community looks extremely peaceful today, as if nothing happened yesterday.
It looks no different from the neighborhood next to it.
After getting closer.
The security guard at the door is no longer there.
Empty.
There are no people moving around in the community.
Very spacious and very quiet.
Cheng Ye sighed. It seemed that the entire community was under control.
He hurried all the way to the laboratory.
The system has updated the laboratory map.
It's on the second floor of the underground garage of unit 1 in the third building of the community.
Go down via a staff elevator.
Cheng Ye took his employee card and quickly walked towards the laboratory.
When pushing away from the laboratory.
It also looked desolate.
There were various documents scattered on the table, and there was no one on the desk.
Cheng Ye walked through the lobby and walked inside.
I went into every laboratory and there was no one there.
He suddenly remembered that in their entire experimental group, he, Professor Guo, and Xiao Wang were the only ones left.
The rest are dead.
While passing a laboratory, Cheng Ye finally saw Professor Guo.
His thin body stood in front of the instrument, as if he was observing something carefully.
Cheng Ye knocked lightly on the door.
Professor Guo turned his head when he heard the sound and saw Cheng Ye. He walked forward and opened the door of the laboratory.
He looked at him thoughtfully: "You are late again today."
Cheng Ye suddenly thought that when he first arrived at this dungeon, it was the first time that the original owner was late.
Moreover, there is a huge paradox hidden here.
At that time, the community was locked down at 6 o'clock.
How did the original owner get out, where did he go, and why was he able to come back safely after 10 o'clock?
Why didn't anyone stop him during this period?
Cheng Ye didn't think too much. He maintained the character of the original owner and said calmly: "I came up with a few conclusions, which wasted a little time..."
All Professor Guo's original guesses disappeared instantly. He stood up suddenly and looked at Cheng Ye seriously: "What have you guessed?"
Although the person in front of me is unsophisticated, he treats experimental data very rigorously.
His speculation should be of some help.
Cheng Ye didn't speak. His mind was spinning very fast. After thinking for a while, he said, "I think I'll take a look at the stone first."
His speculation was that he wanted to see the stone before making any conclusions.
Professor Guo inquired about Cheng Ye suspiciously.
He moved his lips, but finally came out with one word: "Okay."
Professor Guo took Cheng Ye deeper.
After crossing an all-metal gate, Professor Guo put Cheng Ye in a special experimental coat: "Although it feels ineffective, it is better than nothing."
Cheng Ye understood that Professor Guo was talking about the contagiousness of stones.
They got dressed, finally pushed open the last glass door, and came to the laboratory where the stone was placed.
The sight in front of him shocked Cheng Ye.
Before coming, he imagined countless times what the stone would look like.
According to the information, he knew that this stone was very magical and had many states that could not be explained by natural science.
It is also known to be translucent, somewhat like crystal.
But after seeing it with his own eyes, he was still amazed.
Professor Guo had been paying attention to Cheng Ye's expression. He noticed that there seemed to be a hint of surprise on Cheng Ye's expression, so he frowned and asked, "Isn't this the first time you've seen this stone?"
Cheng Ye told the truth: "Every time I see it, it feels different."
This is what he wrote in his notebook.
Sure enough, Professor Guo became solemn after hearing what he said.
Perhaps Professor Guo and Cheng Ye have the same confusion.
Cheng Ye stared at the stone and was addicted to it for a while.
It floats in mid-air and seems to be lighter than air.
However, according to experimental data, it has a heavier texture.
It appears translucent under the light, with colorful lights inside, and even many colors that do not seem to belong to the spectrum.
These faint intertwined lights make people feel like they are in a strange and bizarre world.
It looks so unreal, like a spectrum that cannot exist in anime.
Cheng Ye doesn't have any evidence, but you will understand once you see this stone.
Some colors may appear in this world for the first time.
Cheng Ye was stunned for a while.
His eyes were fixed on the stone.
His face was dull and motionless.
It seemed like only him and this stone were left in the whole world.
Professor Guo stood aside and looked at Cheng Ye.
He felt something was wrong.
But he remembered what Cheng Ye had just said to him: "I have drawn a few conclusions."
I think maybe Cheng Ye was just observing more carefully.
So I didn't bother him for a while.
Cheng Ye's eyes became more and more blurred. He seemed to be completely attracted by this stone, and even wanted to...
Dedicate yourself.
Yes, dedication.
Cheng Ye's eyes suddenly widened.
Nonsence! Dedicate your x body!
Cheng Ye directly averted his eyes.
There is indeed something wrong with this stone.
He seemed to have almost become a loyal believer just now, willing to sacrifice everything for this stone.
Including life.
go to hell!
Cheng Ye was cursing in his heart, but his face was calm.
It's hard to tell that he just went through so many layers of emotional fluctuations in his heart.
He turned around and blocked the stone behind him.
"Professor Guo, do you have any other guesses about the stone?"
Cheng Ye's voice was very soft and calm.
It's like telling a trivial matter.
Professor Guo's eyes dodge slightly.
Ha, as expected, he is still hiding something.
Cheng Ye stepped out of the laboratory, passed Professor Guo's voice, and said calmly: "I think we can have a chat."
He walked towards the office at the front.
This road looks very long, but the temporary laboratory built in the parking lot on the third floor of the negative three also looks extremely rough.
Cheng Ye sat on the office chair.
He was leisurely watching Professor Guo's figure walking slowly over.
Professor Guo will definitely bring him another surprise.
Professor Guo looked at Cheng Ye from a distance. He didn't understand why Cheng Ye suddenly asked that question.
However, he did have something to tell Cheng Ye.
Professor Guo walked a short distance of about ten meters for one minute.
When he opened the office door.
The two people looked at each other.
Cheng Ye had a faint smile.
Professor Guo's old face stiffened for a moment, then he also smiled.
He spoke first: "I do have something I want to tell you."
Cheng Ye gestured for Professor Guo to sit down.
Well, as the wise and dignified professor of the experimental group, what kind of quirk is it that he always likes to hide his secrets!
Professor Guo sat down and thought about it: "I didn't want to tell you now because I was afraid you would be frightened, but since you asked..."
Cheng Ye smiled broadly: "It's okay, just tell me."
Professor Guo said cautiously: "Xiao Wang is dead."
"...!" Cheng Ye was stunned.
Is Xiao Wang actually dead?
No, wasn't what he just asked about speculation about stones?
Professor Guo continued: "He died within three kilometers of leaving Linshui City."
"He drove away by himself. After getting on the highway, he died suddenly just about three kilometers away from Linshui City..."
Cheng Ye's expression also became solemn.
So, what Professor Guo wants to say is...
Professor Guo nodded and concluded directly: "Xiao Wang is also infected. Not only will the infected people have bad luck, but they will also not be able to leave the city."
Cheng Ye was stunned for a moment.
Therefore, Xiao Wang's voice suddenly stopped and the sound of electric current he heard were all because of...
...Xiao Wang was being killed by them?
Cheng Ye stared into Professor Guo's eyes.
Make sure he didn't lie.
If you die on the highway and the car suddenly stops, someone will definitely arrive at the scene within a few minutes.
Therefore, Professor Guo knew the news yesterday.
But he didn't tell him.
Cheng Ye lowered his head, seeming to be thinking about something.
The stone prevents already infected people from leaving the city.
In addition, he had a strange feeling of surrender when he looked at the stone just now.
Are stones taming their own believers?
It infected Xiao Wang with its bad luck, but Xiao Wang wanted to escape from it, so it killed him?
Cheng Ye's dark eyes narrowed.
Not quite right.
"I have a few speculations." Cheng Ye raised his head and said calmly to Professor Guo.
He felt that he needed someone to discuss it with, and he was not going to hide his secrets.
Regarding this mysterious stone, the more you speculate, the easier it is to catch the truth.
He thought Professor Guo must have something else that he didn't say.
So I decided to surrender myself first.
Professor Guo looked at Cheng Ye and said after a while: "You say it."
"First, misfortune is an active choice." Cheng Ye closed his eyes.
Recalling the second sentence he wrote in his notebook yesterday.
From the moment he started encountering strange events, he managed to avoid them every time.
All follow this rule.
The first time was in the parking lot.
The 'security guard' came over to warn them that he had disturbed them.
He obediently turned off the music, so they were just observations, no harm to him.
The second time, the elevator did not fall.
He clearly felt danger and depression, but when he entered the elevator, he felt so sure because he understood this rule.
Misfortune must be an active choice.
There will be no accidents if you take the elevator because you are bound to take the elevator.
This is an inevitable move. Who lives on the 32nd floor and chooses to take the stairs?
So if he takes the elevator, he will definitely not have an accident.
It's the same thing in the study.
As long as he chooses not to move, he can still survive after experiencing their tests.
But when he chose to move, he chose to follow the death route they had set.
At night, he did the same thing when choosing a seat at the barbecue stall.
Choosing your seat is like choosing your own way of death.
Whether you are killed by a gas tank or hit by a car that suddenly loses control is your choice.
Misfortune is that there will be different results depending on each choice you make.
Professor Guo raised his eyebrows and his expression became solemn.
Actively choose the outcome of your own death.
It’s the beauty of doom.
Cheng Ye opened his eyes and just went through his speculation again in his mind.
The discovery became clearer.
Moreover, he made a new discovery.
Judging from today's events.
The rules for this copy are very similar to the rules for Missing That Curse.
It's all step by step.
Wei Sheng'an once said that the content of the upgrade copy is generated based on psychological fears.
So he is more confident that the current bad luck is similar to the curse at that time.
At that time, he was truly afraid in the copy of [Missing].
I also worried that I would die.
It won't be able to save people all over the world.
Then, why didn't he grasp this in his upgrade mission?
A touch of joy flashed in Cheng Ye's dark pupils.
Now, he also wants to save all mankind.
Misfortune also comes in steps.
"Article 2: Misfortune is not death."
Cheng Ye said according to the order recorded in the notebook.
This point is also easy to understand. With the first point as a foreshadowing, it is very clear.
As long as you make the right choice, you won't die.
As long as you are calm enough, there is a glimmer of hope.
Professor Guo nodded and motioned for Cheng Ye to continue.
Cheng Ye looked at Professor Guo.
He summarized four points yesterday and one point today.
The fourth point summarized yesterday is: misfortune is not randomly generated.
It is there prepared in advance, waiting to be done by yourself.
If you don't go, the current status quo will not be regenerated.
And this has not been confirmed yet.
Therefore, he did not plan to talk to Professor Guo about this.
What he wanted to say was the new information that had just been discovered today.
"Third, misfortune comes in steps."
Professor Guo looked at Cheng Ye in disbelief. He didn't quite understand this.
Cheng Ye smiled: "This is my guess, it may not be correct. I think the bad luck emitted by the stone is bad luck showing different directions."
"They are crowded together, and they actively choose their hosts and choose us who want to be parasitized."
"In the beginning, we were surrounded by a bunch of bad luck that we couldn't see. They were crowded together. Each one liked us and wanted to invade us."
"You see, our dead team members all suffered from a single type of bad luck, which shows that there are different types of bad luck, and humans who have been invaded by the mark should not be able to be infected with the second type of bad luck."
"And when they invade our bodies, misfortune begins to surround us all the time."
"For example, Li Yuyun has someone following her; Zuo Junming has someone staring at him; Zhou Yuhua always feels like someone is touching him."
After saying this, Cheng Ye narrowed his eyes.
He has been parasitized by the invasion of bad luck, which means that he may become particularly dangerous next.
Professor Guo was thoughtful.
So now, here are a few points about bad luck:
First, stones can bring bad luck, and the way of transmission is radiation. People who have been radiated by it will be contaminated with the seeds of bad luck to a greater or lesser extent.
Second, misfortunes are classified into different types and can be followed at any time. Whether there will be misfortune is the result of your own active choice. If you do not follow their script, you will be safe.
Third, misfortune does not necessarily lead to death. Misfortune has several steps. The first step is to try to invade. The second step is possession. The rest is unclear at the moment.
Fourth, after being possessed by bad luck, people's consciousness will easily become trance-like. Just like when a virus first invades the human body, the body's white blood cells begin to fight hard, and the spirit will decline for a period of time.
5. After possession, misfortune will begin to surround the host all the time until death.
The bad luck merges with the body and becomes a part of it.
These are all of Cheng Ye's conclusions so far.
He wasn't sure if it was all correct, but this was the part that he felt was closest to the truth after all these two days.
Professor Guo opposite him suddenly laughed for some reason.
He looked at Cheng Ye with an expression of admiration: "I never thought that you would grow up so fast."
Cheng Ye raised his eyebrows, why did this sentence sound so strange...
