"Oh? Then guess what I'm thinking about now?"
Chen Lan looked at Qianye with a joking expression.
Face this question.
Qianye just remained expressionless, and then used his right hand holding the knife a little harder.
Chen Lan’s temple position.
Immediately, a trace of bright red blood emerged.
It was stained on the blade of the knife.
"You don't know if I can read minds right now, but you have to keep looking down on me and laugh at me, and then ask me this question to test whether I can."
"If you can, you will tell the truth obediently."
"If not, then you can lie to me with confidence."
"That's what you think."
Qianye finished.
Chen Lan's expression suddenly changed.
She didn't expect that the other party could actually read her thoughts. She bit her lips tightly with her teeth, and a trace of blood flowed from her lips.
"You have three seconds."
Qianye urged.
"three two……"
"There is a problem with time and space in this world. Everyone in this world has two selves, divided into the world before and after."
"I am Chen Lan from before, approaching you as NPC Xie Aishan."
"The Chen Lan you see is me in the future."
Chen Lan didn't dare to bet on whether Qianye, a weirdo, would kill her.
When Qianye guessed her thoughts.
The thread in her heart had been defeated.
No matter what the plan was before, I can only tell Qianye the secrets of this world truthfully now.
"Two selves?"
Qianye was a little confused, then glanced sideways at the butcher who was still standing behind him and asked: "According to your opinion, he is me in the future? He came to this place before me?"
Chen Lan nodded.
"Okay, so what is the connection between this so-called past self and my future self?"
"If you want to leave this place, you must let your past self replace your future self to ensure that the factory can operate normally before you can get out of this place."
Chen Lan replied.
When she said this, she paused for a moment, hesitated for two seconds and then added: "That is to say, if I want to go out now, I have to find the me you know to take my place."
"On the contrary, if you want to go out, you have to find the old you."
The voice-activated lights above the corridor reflected Qianye's narrowed eyes.
He turned to look at the butcher and then at Chen Lan.
I already had the meaning of what Chen Lan said in my heart.
I have a general understanding.
"What you mean is that I am the former butcher. If I want to go out, I have to replace him first and become your puppet to let him out."
"Then I can find my future self and let him take over my identity before I can leave?"
Chen Lan had no expression, but still answered: "The theory is correct."
"How long did you stay in this place before you met another Chen Lan?"
"Two years... It's exactly two years since I sent away my future self."
"Two years?"
"Um."
Qianye didn't know what expression to make at this time.
Chen Lan's meaning is very simple.
That is to say, after he replaces the butcher, he has to wait two years for his future self to enter this world and let Qianye replace him before he can leave.
And the future self replaces the future.
We have to wait for the next future again...
In general.
It's like a circular space.
You always need another self to replace yourself.
Only then can we leave safely from this place...
It's an endless loop.
Now Chen Lan's thoughts have been figured out by Qianye.
Coupled with the description from the panel, he knew that Chen Lan would not deceive him at this time.
Unless she doesn't want to live anymore...
But.
If you really want to do this, stay in this place for two years and let the next person take your place, creating an endless cycle.
Then Qianye estimated that he would collapse.
Even though the time flow rate in the horror world is different from that in the outside world.
But after only a few days of extremely boring day-to-day life, he was already feeling miserable.
Not to mention staying in this place for two years!
"I know you will be in pain now. After all, you have to live like death in such a place for two years. Very few people can bear such a blow."
Unexpected.
Chen Lan actually took the initiative to speak to Qianye.
Listen to the meaning.
It seems that there is still a bit of a feeling of confiding...
"But there's nothing we can do about it."
"Everyone chosen here will either be killed by the grotesque or experience such pain."
"I'm miserable here too."
"No one knew that there would be a girl named Chen Lan trapped in this dark, meaningless life."
“Every day we face accidents that may happen at any time.”
"Even if I go back."
"In their eyes, maybe I will only disappear for a month or two at most..."
"Or, they think I went somewhere and got carried away."
"Forgot home."
She spoke.
His tone began to grow deeper.
Qianye did not stop or interrupt.
Because he felt that now might be the best time to come up with ideas for this script.
The more Chen Lan talked, the deeper she became emotionally involved.
Then the success rate of his intention will be greater...
Chino feels very sorry for this.
Put the pain of others on the basis of your own interests.
It is indeed an unethical behavior.
But there is no way.
Who knows that people can't empathize with each other, and Chen Lan used so many tricks to deal with him before.
Doing this can barely be considered revenge...
"It's okay. You're overthinking it. I think two years is very simple. Anyway, there is hope of getting out. It's because you have a glass heart, right?"
Qianye opened his mouth and fired back.
He deliberately used words to stimulate Chen Lan's emotions.
"Two years?"
"Very simple?"
"Do you know how I have spent these two years?!"
"That's right. After all, I did this to you before, and you said I should do the same."
"But you don't understand at all."
“In a factory where there is only work and sleep that never ends.”
"Everything you do every day must ensure that you do not violate the factory's rules. Even when you take a break, you must listen to the bell ringing in the factory."
"Like a robot."
"I am dominated by the ringtone, telling me whether I should eat, work, or sleep now..."
"No one here cares if you're tired."
"No one cares what you want to do."
"As a low-level employee, you just have to be obedient and follow their instructions."
"And you have to keep a vigilant attitude every day. You can't relax even a little bit. Otherwise, if you violate the code, you will die..."
"I can't get out."
"I miss home."
"I'm obviously just an ordinary girl. After studying, I would work normally, buy a small house in a small county, and live a life that is not rich but enough for food and clothing."
"But now I have to experience one world after another, and even be locked up in a place like this, as a robot without any emotions for two years!"
Chino's stimulation seemed to have some effect.
No matter how strong a person is inside.
As long as the nerve that has been tense in the brain is touched, the emotions will flow out uncontrollably.
Chen Lan is currently in such a state.
she complained.
Complain about why the world is so unfair...
Complaining that she was an ordinary girl, why did she have to enter this kind of world and live a life of fear every day.
In a sequence where the emotions are pouring out.
Chen Lan seemed to have forgotten the grudge between Qianye and himself.
It seems that now that she has someone who can listen to her, she just wants to vent those things buried deep in her heart...
"Qianye, it's normal for you to say sarcastic things about me now."
"Because as a person who has never experienced these pains and only listened to my superficial account, it is not surprising that I think I have a glassy heart."
"But it doesn't matter."
"You'll go through this too."
"No matter whether you stop me from finding that Chen Lan, you will still have to go through the same thing as me."
"When the time comes, you will understand."
"How difficult it would be to persist for two years while doing meaningless and boring tasks day after day in a state of daily mental stress..."
Chen Lan lowered his head.
The black hair on her head rolled down her shoulders and gently rested on both sides of her face, making her look lonely and humble.
She was right.
Leave aside other things.
Just judge from a single perspective.
Chen Lan is indeed a girl who is not too old.
It seems.
I'm afraid I'm still in the study stage...
She is in the most stress-free time of her life, where she can be most unscrupulous.
That is precious youth.
Make the girl look dazzling...
But the emergence of a world of horror.
But these were broken.
Even though she was given a talent for divination that was different from ordinary people, it still couldn't hide the fact that she was pulled into this world.
She has to live.
As a young girl.
Her goal is to stay alive...
She cannot, like other girls, chat and gossip every day, eat roadside snacks, compare newly bought clothes and skirts, or take a romantic trip when she is upset.
Or just lie comfortably on the big soft bed at home and watch TV shows.
She faced the most.
It's those corners where a woman with half a head may pop out at any time, it's the sudden appearance of an extra pair of eyes in the closet, it's the sudden knock on the door by a ghost in the middle of the night.
And in this world that makes no sense.
Staying in fear for two years...
someone said.
A meaningful life is never about enjoying the comfort in front of you through laziness, but about using the sweat of hard work to win the applause of others.
A life like this without seeking advancement.
It is a corrupt life...
People who think about a comfortable life every day will eventually rot.
The words are very inspiring.
Very positive energy too.
You can also use these words to criticize Chen Lan, saying that all she thinks about is these messy things.
But can it be the same?
This is different.
Some people have always had the right to choose.
Some people can only have the right to wait to be chosen.
Chen Lan, who entered the world of horror, is one of these people...
She had no choice.
No matter what she tried, she couldn't do it.
She can only try to live.
Trying to face those ghosts and ghosts that are actually scary to death just by looking at them...
She thought about hiding under the covers when she was scared.
But she had no quilt to hide under.
"Probably, I don't quite understand your emotions. What you said is fair or unfair, I don't think you are the only one." Qianye sighed softly, and then replied seriously.
From Chen Lan's perspective.
He can understand the reason for the other person's emotional breakdown.
But look at it from his perspective.
The more the other party collapses, the more effective it will be for his purpose...
"There are always many miserable people. For example, as you said, I am one of them."
"But I won't complain to you about whether it's fair. I'll just try to enjoy the moment. Even though you said that the two years here have made you numb, I still feel..."
"Such a surge of emotions is just too glassy."
"If you guessed correctly."
"You should still be studying, right?"
"Maybe he's going to college..."
"I'm going to tell you what you don't know."
"In thousands of corners, there are people who are worse off than you."
"Even if they're not victims of a world of terror, even if they're just in the real world."
"But the desperation they have to face is unimaginable."
"Have you ever experienced deception? Have you ever experienced the kind of situation where after decades, you finally used all your wealth as a gift to marry a wife, only to find that your wife was a liar and ran away with all the money?"
"Have you ever experienced separation? My old mother is seriously ill and needs a large sum of money for surgery. But after rummaging through her wallet, she doesn't even have enough money for burial, so she has to reluctantly pull out the oxygen tube?"
"Have you ever experienced loneliness? When you were a child, you were abducted to a small mountain village to be a wife, tied up like a dog, and were beaten and scolded if you disobeyed?"
"Have you ever experienced a war? One second your family is still with you, and the next second they are blown to pieces by artillery shells, and you can only hold a severed hand in your arms and cry bitterly?"
"You haven't experienced it."
"Because you only care about yourself."
"Just like those people who died when you used them as bait, they are also victims who were involved in the world of terror. Maybe their old mothers are still waiting for them to go back to eat, but they can only do so in a place where no one knows sleep……"
"you are selfish."
"It's also emotionally fragile."
"A little wind and wave can lift you up. People like you are not worthy of pity."
Qianye said these words almost in an emotional way.
He knew his example was poor.
