Chapter 13 Chapter 12 Crack

Surrounded by water, I got some strength and started to swing my arms. After a few swings, there was a clatter in my ears, and I felt myself getting out of the water again, and a beam of flashlight was shining from the side. .I didn't understand how the sudden flashlight appeared, but I heard a familiar and anxious voice asking: "A-Ning! What's the matter? Where's Xin Jie?" Ling Zhijie grabbed one of my arms , asking eagerly while dragging me out of the pothole.For a moment, I didn't know what to say, but lay on the cold ground, feeling like I was jumping from one death to another.

There are countless huge question marks circling in my mind at the same time: How could this happen?Ling Zhijie was beating me just now, and seemed to have killed me, why did I come back to life?And why is he so different?This is simply unbelievable, just like when I saw several Xin Jies that night, I hammered my head hard, trying to confirm whether I was dead or had a very serious hallucination. "Ah Ning, where are your clothes?" Ling Zhijie's words brought me back to reality in an instant, and I realized that I was naked and cold all over. "What's the matter with you? There are injuries all over your body?" Ling Zhijie continued to ask.I looked down by the light of the flashlight, and the eye-catching redness and blood stains were still there, and the increasingly severe pain reminded me that what happened just now was definitely not my hallucination.However, if it is not his own hallucination, how can the scene in front of him be explained?Two Ling Zhijie?Two different Ling Zhijie?Is it true that you hit me earlier, or is this true?I raised my eyes to take a closer look at "Ling Zhijie" in front of me, but I couldn't see his expression because the flashlight was in his hand.He shone the flashlight back and forth on my body and face repeatedly, and then kept asking about my scars and the situation under the water. His tone seemed more surprised than me, and he wanted to know what was going on.After I was relieved, I opened my mouth and wanted to make a sound, but there was still a severe pain in my throat, and I still couldn't speak, so I pointed to Ling Zhijie's neck and made a speechless gesture.

This time, Ling Zhijie's movements seemed even more surprised. He looked down and almost touched my face, stretched out two fingers, looked at my eyelids for a while, then looked at his throat, and said : "You were beaten underwater? Someone strangled your neck?" I nod. "It's impossible for you to dive for a long time. How could someone beat you like this? And this pothole is only so big. I don't think you dive deep. It's a problem if you can accommodate two people. Where did the injury come from? You can't even tell the truth?" I noticed what he said about the time of diving, so I raised my hand and grabbed his wrist, pointed to his watch, made another gesture, and asked him how long I had been diving. "How long to dive, you don't know? Up to forty seconds!" Hearing the time reported by Ling Zhijie, my head buzzed, and I felt more and more incomprehensible, because if this time is correct, then I The time when I was beaten by that "Ling Zhijie" disappeared out of thin air, as if it never happened, but the problem is that the result of the beating incident still affects me!what's the problem?This has to make me think of the most unlikely possibility: space-time distortion.In Einstein's theory of relativity, time can expand and contract, and space can also be distorted, forming a warped space. (Readers are strongly advised to look up relevant information on "Theory of Relativity" and "Warped Space" before reading the following content for a better understanding.) Then these weird potholes that Wang Fei brought us in to find are not simple Potholes, but some kind of device capable of causing space-time distortion?I jumped into the pothole, and after 40 seconds of diving, I surfaced and entered another time and space?This can explain why when I surfaced, there was darkness around me, no matter how much I shouted, no one responded. In the original time and space, Ling Zhijie saw that I had been submerged for too long, and thought something had happened to me. Then I turned around and wanted to ask Wang Fei what was going on, only to find that Wang Fei had run away.He finally understood that all of this was Wang Fei's trap. It was Wang Fei who led us here and killed me through this hole, so he also sneaked into that hole to save me, but after he dived, he didn't see anything at all. Found me, and didn't find any other discoveries. After holding his breath to the limit, he surfaced (traveled into the same time and space as me at that time, but he didn't know that he had traveled through time and space), unexpectedly grabbed a foot .

Ling Zhijie absolutely could not have imagined that this foot would be mine (because the pothole was so big, he never saw me emerge from the pothole), so he concluded that it belonged to Wang Fei (thinking that Wang Fei was in this period of time) It is likely that all the handcuffs and shackles have been removed, and he will continue to hurt him later), so Ling Zhijie was furious, got up and grabbed "Wang Fei" (that is, me) and started beating him violently, asking "He Ning" while beating However, "Wang Fei" never said a word, Ling Zhijie gradually felt desperate, and he wanted to kill "Wang Fei". Besides, I was killed by Ling Zhijie as Wang Fei in that time and space, so I felt the feeling of dying , memory flashbacks, etc.Just when I was about to die (or already dead), I was pushed into the pit again, just passed through the space-time gap in the pit again, appeared in the current time and space, and was resurrected.

But in the current time and space, Ling Zhijie has not started looking for me, and has not begun to realize that something happened to me. He only knows that I surfaced after diving for forty seconds. As for what happened to me in the middle The thing happened in another time and space. He couldn't imagine it at all, and he didn't know what happened. Looking at the strange scars on my body, he could only feel puzzled and puzzled. I thought of the strange situation when Xin Jie disappeared that day, If it was caused by the distortion of time and space, then it could also explain the situation where she appeared outside the door so many times and then disappeared from the bay window suddenly. From this point of view, if it is based on the possibility of time and space distortion, everything can be explained logically.However, everything now is really caused by the distortion of time and space here?Are these weird potholes in the air-raid shelter really the kind of device that can cause space-time distortion?And Wang Fei is really using these devices he discovered to kill and escape?

The time and space I am in now is that I rushed from the gate to the pothole with Ling Zhijie, then dived down and surfaced, and forty seconds later.That is to say, in the near future, Ling Zhijie will find that I have disappeared, and then he will look for me, and may contact Wang Fei and Xiao Song, and when something happens, he will jump into the pit and travel to another time and space, killing me , I went back to this time and space again to think about the problem of time and space distortion, and then looked at Ling Zhijie and began to wonder about the scars on my body. It seems like an endless loop if it keeps repeating?The concept of space-time warping is an endless loop?

Thinking of this, my thinking is a little confused, because once it comes to the concept of space-time distortion, many things are hard to make sense, very contradictory, so contradictory that I cannot use normal logic to reason. Moreover, although the concept of space-time distortion is theoretically possible, it is still too sci-fi, at least it is still too far away in the era in which we humans are living.I don't believe that just relying on these weird potholes can generate huge energy, so that time and space are torn apart, forming a situation like space-time transformation. Moreover, as far as Wang Fei's purpose is concerned, if he really found such a place capable of causing time-space distortion, why would he bring us here?He killed someone, and then jumped into another time and space from here, wouldn't that be enough?No one can catch him, no one knows his secret, wouldn't it be more perfect?

Therefore, space-time distortion is the most unlikely possibility. After all other possibilities are ruled out, it has to be attributed to this possibility. So, am I overlooking some possibility among the "other possibilities"? I lay on the cold ground, countless thoughts filtered through my mind over and over again.Ling Zhijie next to me continued to check my wound again. After the check, he was silent, as if he couldn't believe the strange changes that appeared on my body. But after only being silent for a while, he turned around and shouted "Wang Fei", but got no response.At this moment, he seemed to realize something in an instant, and then he yelled at Xiao Song who was guarding the door -- Xiao Song didn't respond either! (Because we are not far from the gate, at most twenty meters away, Ling Zhijie's shout can definitely be heard by Xiao Song outside the gate.) Ling Zhijie scolded a son of a bitch, and He stood up abruptly and ran towards the gate.

And at this time, I suddenly realized a problem: Assuming that the whole thing is caused by "time distortion", then the concept of "only forty seconds has passed" is true for Ling Zhijie, then he will not be able to do it in these four days. Staying by the side of the pothole I dived into for ten seconds?How about not caring about Wang Fei at all?You know, Wang Fei is an extremely dangerous person. Ling Zhijie and I rushed from the gate to the pothole recklessly because we were afraid that Xin Jie would be drowned in the water.I didn't even think about the behavior of jumping into a pothole is very consistent and normal, but what about Ling Zhijie?Could it be that when he saw me jumping into the pothole, he just stood by the side of the pothole indifferently?Shouldn't he control Wang Fei, at least take him to the edge of the pothole, ask about the details of the pothole, and then make the next move?

However, what I see now is that Ling Zhijie doesn't seem to care about Wang Fei at all, but has been guarding the side of the pothole. He didn't go to Wang Fei until "forty seconds later" when I surfaced. Thinking with Xiao Song here, a possibility even more bizarre than "time-space distortion" appeared in my mind: Ling Zhijie lied to me.I never thought about this question.After going through so many years and going through so many things with him, he has become the person I trust the most, and as he said, I am also the person he trusts the most.However, at this moment, I suddenly had doubts about him, just like starting to wonder why "1+1=2".Of course, we can subjectively recognize "1+1=3" or "1+1=1", but objectively it is always "1+1=2", and "Ling Zhijie = not to be suspected" is not objective Yes, this is just my own subjective opinion.So, after all these bizarre events, I suspected that he had nothing to blame, but I had to confront him and clarify the questions that popped into my head.Zhijie, I really don't want to believe that you will lie to me, but after countless flashes of memories, I have no choice but to have such doubts. I sat up with difficulty and looked at the beam of flashlight not far away. , cleared his throat again, and found that he could barely make a sound, but it was still quite hoarse and weak.I shouted a few times with all my strength, but it seemed that it was still too light, and the light of the flashlight didn't shine here.I had no choice but to stand up and plan to walk over by myself.But at this moment, I found something was wrong, because during this period of time, the beam of the flashlight had not moved at all. I looked at the height of the flashlight again, and I immediately understood that it was The one placed on the ground - Ling Zhijie disappeared again.

I stumbled to the side of the flashlight, picked it up, and took a look around. I didn't see Ling Zhijie within the range of the light, but I found that there was water splashing on the edge of the pothole next to the flashlight. It was clear in an instant that he had already dived from this pothole. So I fixed the flashlight on the pothole and waited for him to dive out of the water. After a while, there was the sound of someone coming out of the water.It's just that the sound was not the pothole I was shining with the flashlight, but a place not far from me.I followed the sound and moved the light over, just in time to see Ling Zhijie crawling out of another pothole, and that pothole was right next to the place where I just lay down. I saw Ling Zhijie climbed up and raised his hand to block the light, and then made a sideways roll very quickly, as if trying to avoid my light.Seeing that he was about to jump into another pothole again, I hurriedly shouted, my voice hoarse. At this moment, Ling Zhijie finally stopped, then looked towards me with a puzzled face, and said two words: "He Ning?" "It's me." I replied with effort.After Ling Zhijie confirmed, he rushed over in a few steps, grabbed my shoulder and asked loudly, "Where did you go?!" I was in pain from being grabbed by him. He sat down, raised his head and said with difficulty: "I still want to ask you, didn't you go to find Wang Fei? What about others?" "I went looking for Wang Fei, but I couldn't find it at first, but when I turned around, I found that you had disappeared, so I looked for you again, but after looking for you for half an hour, I didn't see anyone! Then the son of a bitch squatted by the pit thinking Killed me, I was beaten up, but I didn’t tell you your whereabouts, then I pushed him into the pit, thinking about it later, I didn’t feel right, so I dived into the pit to look for his body, but I didn’t find it. Then I dived Come out and shine your flashlight on me." Ling Zhijie finished speaking in one breath, then looked at me fixedly, and asked: "A-Ning, where have you been all this time?" After listening to what he said earlier, I was secretly surprised, but very He quickly calmed down, remained silent for a while, and said, "Zhijie, how long have we known each other?" "I'm asking you, how long have we known each other?" I tried to raise my voice and said it again. Ling Zhijie squatted down, looked at me in disbelief, and said in a deep voice, "What do you mean?" I smiled, looked into his eyes, and said, "You once said that I am the person you trust most , still now?" Ling Zhijie also stared into my eyes, as if trying to see through what I was thinking at the moment, after a while, he looked away and nodded. "Okay, you used to be the person I trusted the most. Then let me ask you again, are you still worthy of my trust?" Ling Zhijie glanced at me, stood up abruptly, and walked a few steps aside.I knew that my words were heavy enough to make him extremely agitated, and his actions at this moment showed that he was trying hard to suppress his emotions.Although, I can't bear to see him like this, but I can't bear to see an unprecedented crisis of trust between us.I became cruel and said, "You care more about Xinjie than I do, right?" Ling Zhijie looked at me in surprise, opened his mouth, but said nothing.This is not enough, I continue to increase the stakes: "If there is no me in this world, Xin Jie should be with you, right?" After these words, I wanted to add more chips, but it was unnecessary, because I saw flames in Ling Zhijie's eyes.The flame spread over in an instant, and I only felt another tightness in my neck, but after only two seconds, Ling Zhijie let go of his hand. He took two steps back, raised his right hand, and faced me directly.In front of his hand, there is a dark hole.I saw it clearly, it was - muzzle. I saw the muzzle of the gun, but not his expression.It's just that his action has already made me understand everything. A huge stone fell to the ground in my heart, smashing all hopes.I closed my eyes and waited for the bullet to penetrate my skull.But after a long time, before the bullet arrived, a slightly trembling words came: "He Ning, I never thought that we would come to this point today." He paused, and continued: "What do you mean?" That's right, I care about Xinjie more than you! I care more than anyone else in this world! I have never told you this, and I never plan to tell you! Because this is my deepest secret, I don't want anyone to know" I sneered, and then he said: "Do you think I can't see it? From childhood to adulthood, who of us thinks what, the other party can't know? I know that you have tolerated too much of your own feelings for me and Xin Jie. But Many times, things are like this, we can do nothing, we just want to let this seemingly beautiful state continue, but I know that one day this beauty will be broken. Hehe, people are indeed fragile, no matter how strong they are You can't stand the emotional torture for many years. So, after many years, you finally can't hold it anymore. You planned all these bizarre events just to make me mentally collapse and to make me die unknown Bai! Then, you can fly far away with Xin Jie! Isn't that right?" Yes, I am willing to die at the hands of my best friend.I am willing to let my best friend live happily with the woman I love the most. But, I don't understand, Ling Zhijie, why do you go to such lengths to make everything look grand? Ling Zhijie's expression was still hidden in the darkness, but I saw that his raised hand gradually softened.Just when I started to be puzzled by his actions, he roared and raised his arms suddenly, and I saw a flash of fire in front of me, and the gun went off...
