Chapter 12 Chapter 9: Beyond Death

"Xiao Yu, obviously we killed you yesterday, but why did you come back today?" A famous professor in China said that when an individual is alone, his thoughts are completely different from those when he is in a group. When you are alone, you think the fluorescent lamp is white, but when you are in a group, you can think it is black. Many of the radicals during the French Revolution were honest tailors and bakers. He could bake bread on the 13th of July and attack the Bastille on the 14th; Get up to show the public; on the fifteenth, go back to bake bread. In the same way, looking back, perhaps the enduring theme of time travel in garbage novels is really just a human fantasy.All things have two sides, even multi-faceted. Otherwise, when you realize that life after time travel is not only joy, you may have suffered an unfathomable development.

Back on the first day of crossing, Dongfang was sent to the door by the West. Dongfang's real name is Wang Yu, 22 years old, and a senior.Her family is in the Dongcheng District of Wucheng, and she and Xixi are high school classmates. The two started dating in the third year of high school, and it has been more than four years now. Of course, the two sides still hide their parents. After opening the door and returning home, Wang Yu immediately noticed some changes in the house.Parents are not at home, and the decoration is different from yesterday. She didn't pay much attention to it. She was sleepy all night and walked more than 20 kilometers of mountain roads. The exhausted Wang Yu washed up casually, and then prepared to go to her bedroom to sleep.She could push the door open, but she was surprised to find that the original bedroom was full of sundries.

But Wang Yu clearly still remembered that when she went out yesterday morning, she had cleaned the room. what the hell is it? The clutter in the bedroom seems to have been piled up for a day or two, and my personal items are all pressed in the corner of the room.The ground is also covered with dust, as if no one has been in for a long time, and there are even a few webbing supports crawling on the ceiling, trying to expand the distribution space of the cobwebs outward. Wang Yu blinked, feeling dizzy. It's strange, if you go to the wrong house, how can your own key open the door?Besides, the furnishings of the living room obviously haven't changed too much, it's just a little less popular.

She was so sleepy that she didn't think much about it. She simply ran to her parents' bed and had a comfortable sleep. When she woke up in the afternoon, it was already past three o'clock.The girl slowly ran to the toilet to wash, but she couldn't find her toothbrush and quilt anyway, so she had no choice but to take a new one from the storage box to make do with it. After supplementing with sleep, Wang Yu's brain became much clearer. She was very puzzled, why did her bedroom disappear in one day, and even the traces of her life at home disappeared?Not only toothbrushes, but also facial cleanser and makeup remover cotton were missing in front of the sink.She suddenly realized that all her belongings had been taken from home into the utility room, which was her original bedroom.

Thinking of this, the girl became a little absent-minded. She put her mobile phone on the shelf next to her. When she looked up after washing her face, she found that the mobile phone was covered with foam, so she unconsciously took it under the tap and rinsed it for dozens of seconds. It was very clean and very satisfied. . He then wiped the surface of the phone with a towel. Looking at the brand new phone, Wang Yu suddenly felt that the whole day today was not as bad as he thought. Maybe it was because her parents got nervous, or they bought a new house without notifying her, or they were planning to surprise her, so they deliberately punished her.

"Oops, my phone!" A few minutes later, Wang Yu came back to his senses and was dumbfounded.She looked at the phone that had been washed, wanted to cry, turned it off, opened the back cover, removed the battery, and watched the water dripping from the inside of the phone. She really had the urge to beat her head hard. Damn, the phone numbers of my boyfriend and many classmates and friends are still in the mobile phone address book, it seems that I have to ask again, I hope no one will contact me during the period!Her eyes suddenly shifted to the bathtub separated by the curtain. The bathtub at home was dirty, as if it was stained with a layer of red paint and hadn't been completely washed.

She scratched her head, always feeling weird in the house, but she just left for a day, how could it change so much? Wang Yu put the towel on his shoulders, and finally found the duty of changing from the box buried deep in the utility room.Looking at the clothes, she couldn't help frowning. There was a strong musty smell on the fabric, as if it had been left unwashed for several years, and she couldn't find any new clothes she bought in the past year. Depressedly, he passed on the slightly moldy clothes, and the anger in Wang Yu's heart gradually surged.She used the home phone in the living room to call her boyfriend, but there was a hollow voice in her ears, repeating that the number was empty.She frowned, looked down at the number she pressed, and it was not a mistake!

Outside the door, there was a sudden sound of opening the door, and then two middle-aged men pushed the door and walked in. Seeing two familiar faces, Wang Yu opened his mouth and shouted: "Mom and Dad, why did you come back? What's going on at home? It's only been a day since I left, and everything is gone. What kind of surprise are you planning to give me?" Is it? I don't care, return the hidden things to me first!" Her words were shot out like cannonballs, and she didn't see her parents' expressions of surprise to the point of disbelief. The mother grabbed her heart and passed out, but the father didn't last long. He pinched his neck and kept panting. Breathing heavily, it seemed to be a precursor to cerebral thrombosis.

"Xiao Yu, Xiao Yu, why are you all right? Why are you at home?" Father felt that he couldn't breathe, and finally his feet trembled and fell to the ground. "Dad, Mom, what's the matter with you?" Wang Yu screamed, quickly helped his parents to the sofa, touched their hearts, and the heartbeat, but it was a little weak.She scrambled and ran to the home phone to call the hospital and call an ambulance. Suddenly, a pair of withered hands grabbed the receiver and interrupted the call. It's her father.The father coughed a few times, and looked at his daughter kindly, "Your mother and I are fine, Xiao Yu, can you remember nothing?"

"Remember what?" Wang Yu was a little puzzled. "It's okay, as long as you don't remember." Father quickly waved his hand, "Are you hungry, may I ask your mother to cook something for you?" "Well, I want to eat boiled pork slices." Wang Yu hadn't eaten all day, so he was really hungry. "Okay, let's make boiled pork slices." The mother looked at her daughter and smiled happily.She quickly put on her apron and went into the kitchen. Wang Yu sat next to his father and asked strangely: "It's weird, why are you so enthusiastic about me today? By the way, Dad, what's wrong with my dormitory, it's full of sundries?"

"It's nothing, hehe, hehe." Father's eyes are a little dodged. Before long, my mother had prepared a table of good dishes, all of which she liked. Wang Yu could not help swallowing when he smelled the aroma of the food and the white meat floating in the red oily water. "I'm gonna start now!" She couldn't wait to eat it, and praised with a smile on her face: "Mom, today's dishes are very delicious. What kind of meat did you buy? It tastes soft and moist, not like pork." "Just eat as much as you like." My mother picked up a few chopsticks of meat for her, and squinted at her wife. Wang Yu suddenly felt that his parents looked a little weird. "What on earth happened?" she asked looking up. "It's okay, eat, eat." Dad avoided her sight. "Why don't you eat?" Wang Yu asked again. The two middle-aged people sitting opposite were obviously her parents, and their voices and appearances were exactly the same as in her memory, but for some reason, she felt that they were both familiar and strange.The two of them had no intention of eating, they just laughed and watched her eat, and the smiles on their faces became weirder and weirder.It should be a kind smile, but it made Wang Yu's hair stand inexplicably terrified. "We're not hungry, Xiao Yu, you should eat more." Mother's smile is like wearing a mask. Wang Yu was a little scared, she muttered, "What's the matter with you two? Why didn't you tell me if something important happened at home? Dad, are you bankrupt?" "hehe." Father kept laughing, lowered his head, and dared not make a sound. "Strange, why is my head dizzy? I just woke up!" Wang Yu suddenly felt a burst of dizziness in his head, but before he could react, his eyes went dark and he passed out on the ground. When she woke up, her hands and feet were aching, and there seemed to be a large soft mass stuffed between the upper and lower jawbones in her mouth, which was ugly and tasted disgusting.Wang Yu struggled to open his eyes, suddenly panicked and at a loss.She was lying in the bathtub, her hands and feet were tightly bound, her mouth was tightly blocked with a rag, and she could only make a muffled sound through her nasal cavity. But her parents held a kitchen knife and looked at her with hatred for iron and steel, with complex emotions of hatred and pain in their eyes. "Xiao Yu, obviously we killed you yesterday, but why did you come back today?" Father stroked her long black hair, "Don't blame us, we were really cornered by you. If you didn't die, we would have been killed by you!" Wang Yu stared wide-eyed, full of incomprehensible fear in his eyes.She couldn't make any sound, and could only force the air through her nasal cavity as if protesting. The mother stroked her head a few times with a kitchen knife, and there was a trace of hysterical excitement in the look of confusion: "Although I don't know how you survived, it doesn't matter. Xiaoyu, today's meat is delicious. ? Is it very fragrant?" "As long as you like to eat." The father smiled and said, "That's the meat that was cut from your thigh when we dismembered the body yesterday." A nauseating feeling suddenly surged from the stomach to the mouth of the throat.Wang Yu's head was completely dazed, she couldn't understand the current situation at all! Why did the parents want to kill her and hate her so much?Although I am not a good girl, but my parents have always listened carefully, why do you treat her like this? Wang Yu finally understood, why did he always feel that the bathtub was not clean and was stained red?That was the remnants of blood left by my parents time-sharing in this bathtub yesterday.Why are the parents not at home?Because they just went out to throw the corpse and came back! Why did they faint when they saw themselves?Because they both thought they had killed themselves. Before dying, Wang Yu screamed in despair. She did not want to die with peace in her eyes. She never understood why her parents killed her and her own daughter so cruelly. She didn't understand, she knew that her parents' knife fell slowly and cut her throat neatly.At the last moment of her life, she faintly heard her mother's cautious voice in her ears. "Old Wang, this time, divide Xiao Yu's body into smaller pieces and chop it into diced meat, so she will definitely not be able to revive..." On the morning of the fifth day of the suspected crossing, Ye Buyu and Li Nuoyi walked out of Wucheng Airport.The wind was blowing a bit fiercely, shaking Li Nuoyi's thin body.She hugged her shoulders and felt a little cold. Suddenly, a heavy windbreaker was put on her body, covering herself, and the warmth spread uncontrollably. "Thanks." Li Nuoyi raised his head and smiled at Ye Buyu. "It's my principle not to let beautiful women be cold. Besides, aren't you my fiancée from another world?" Night Shrugged. Li Nuoyi didn't speak, just laughed non-stop.Ye Buyu rented a car nearby, and drove to the address Meng Shan had mentioned.At that time, it was a high-end villa community on South Street, and Mengshan set the meeting place at Villa No. 73. When they arrived, there were already four people sitting inside.Li Nuoyi knew them all, they were Old Monk, Xixi, Beard and Shui Ye.Mengshan was not there, and neither was Jin Shiyuan. "Who is this?" The old monk looked up and saw Ye Buyu beside Li Nuoyi, he couldn't help asking. "He is my fiancé in the original world." The girl replied softly, she had already settled on her fiancée's seat.In short, no one knows anyone here, and even I can't figure out what happened in her original world. "It's hard to talk about our affairs, so don't let other people know." West frowned in displeasure. "It seems that everyone knows that we are no longer in the original world." Li Nuoyi sat on the sofa on the right side of the living room, "Don't worry, my fiancé already knows the cause and effect, he is very capable and can help us." "Do you believe in time travel?" The old monk asked Ye Ye silently. Ye Buyu smiled, "I believe it, and I believe it even more now." Xixi and the others entangled each other with their eyes for a while, and Mizuha's words were very jealous, "Beauty Yiye, the man you found is very good, handsome, and reasonable. No one in my family believed my words! Even Even I myself am still dubious." "me too." The old monk smiled wryly. Beard sat in the corner of the living room, silent. "Yiyi, are you back?" She ran over and hugged her best friend in surprise, asked warmly for a while, then looked at Ye Buyu, the man's appearance and lazy expression were reflected in her eyes, she couldn't help but her eyes lit up, "This is your man?" "Well, he called Ye Buyu. Anyway, I was tricked into coming here and boarded a pirate ship." Li Nuoyi smiled sweetly, it feels good not to be alone. "He's pretty handsome, but he's a little short." After talking about it, Mengshan stretched out her hand, "Hello, Handsome Ye, my name is Mengshan." "Ting Li Nuoyi mentioned that you are her best friend in Wucheng." Ye Buyu didn't shake hands with her. Mengshan pulled his hand and shook it without any embarrassment, "I am not only Yiyi's best friend in Wucheng, but also the best of all her friends, a best friend, a best friend." "Oh." Ye Buyu was not enthusiastic, and quickly withdrew his hand. Mengshan was a little displeased, and complained: "Yiyi, your man is so cold." "Don't pay attention to him, no matter which world he is in, he has this virtue." Li Nuoyi raised her eyebrows and said with a smile: "You said that three people died, what's going on?" As soon as the words fell, the eyes of everyone in the living room shot over like moths to a flame. "I contacted the old monk first, and he was responsible for contacting other people." Mengshan replied, "It's easier to understand if you ask him." Li Nuoyi motioned Ye Buyu to sit beside her, Ye Buyu had a very interested expression on her face, she said little, but her ears kept catching the topics of the people around her.After hearing Mengshan's words, he and Li Nuoyi couldn't help but glance at the old monk. The room suddenly fell into an oppressive silence. Six of the seven people looked at the same person. The old monk smiled wryly, but he didn't mention the dead guys. He just sighed: "There are always some people in this world who wake up in the morning and suddenly want to quit their jobs and go to work that they like and are completely unfamiliar with." , or travel the world. "But for me, these people are too crazy, so I just look for supernatural places to explore and relieve stress after work. But, I haven't passed through the Hawu Half Tunnel yet, how come I crossed to another place? A world? And this world is completely beyond my imagination." "In this world, has your life trajectory changed a lot?" Mizuha couldn't help but ask. "It's pretty big, anyway, it's much better than the precarious life before. My website was acquired by a very good group buying website. They said they wanted to take advantage of the popularity of Wucheng Lingyi.com in the local area to switch to a group buying online store. I There is a lot of money in my bank account, I don’t have to worry about food and drink, and I don’t need to go to work anymore.” The old monk was still sighing. "Isn't it great?" West also asked. "Is it good or not? It can't be measured by money. Forget it, this is my personal value. It has nothing to do with you, so don't waste your saliva! Let's talk about the three people who died." The old monk waved his hand and finally entered the whole, "They are Dongfang, Dropper and Leopard respectively." Li Nuoyi recalled the appearance of the three of them, feeling a little regretful. "The dropper's real name is Zhou Jian. Because every time I hold an event, I have the habit of buying cheap insurance for the participants, so I have everyone's address. So when I realized that something was wrong, Mengshan contacted me again and said We have actually disappeared in the Hawu Half Tunnel, and when we traveled to another world, I believed it immediately." The old monk leaned his back back, expressing his impatience, "Everyone couldn't get through the phone, so I went to visit one by one. Most of the family changes were quite big." "As for Zhou Jian's home, a funeral was being held, and his photo was impressively displayed in the mourning hall. When I asked, I found out that this guy died suddenly on the second day of crossing. The cause of death was a ruptured heart muscle." "What is myocardial rupture? I've never heard of this medical term." Mizuha asked suddenly. Everyone was silent for a while, as if they didn't quite understand.Li Nuoyi habitually glanced at the man beside him, and explained silently at night: "Myocardial rupture is also called heart infarction. It is a common symptom after myocardial infarction. It is very fatal. Usually it is caused by the patient Encountered an event that frightened him beyond his psychological capacity." "You mean the dropper was scared to death?" Mizuha asked again. "Probably." Ye Buyu nodded, looked at Shui Ye: "I heard that you and Zhou Jian were lovers in that world?" "Yes, but in this world, we are obviously passers-by." Mizuha replied very calmly. "Aren't you sad that he died?" "Why are you sad? In short, the relationship between us is not that close. We will break up sooner or later." Shui Ye didn't take it seriously, "Besides, I heard from the old monk that he is already married here and has a beautiful wife!" Li Nuoyi frowned, "Old monk, did Zhou Jian's wife tell you about his death?" "I mentioned some, but I don't quite understand what she said." The old monk pondered for a moment, "She said that Zhou Jian ran away like crazy when he was about to die, as if something terrible was chasing him!" "Then why did Dongfang die?" Li Nuoyi continued to ask. "Dongfang's name is Wang Yu, and Xixi took me to her home. When we went, the place was cordoned off by the police!" There was fear in the old monk's tone. "She died terribly. Her parents cut her neck and was about to dismember her body. The neighbor who called the police claimed that she heard strange noises five nights ago, and saw Wang Yu's parents carrying large and small bags the next day. When we went out, the luggage looked heavy and some were soaked with blood, but when we got home, the two of them were empty-handed. The more the neighbors thought about it, the more frightened they became, so they called the police.” Xixi interjected in a trembling voice: "As soon as the police arrived, they found Xiaoyu's body. Her head was hanging on one side, and a large piece of flesh on the inner thigh had been cut off. When she was arrested, her parents were still talking about it. , Obviously the corpse was already dismembered last night, why did my daughter come back today, fortunately, this time I have to divide it more carefully, such creepy words." "The police went to the place where Wang Yu's parents dumped the body, but only found some dry sacks and suitcases, but did not find the body. There was not even blood from the neighbor's mouth on the container, which is very puzzling." said the old monk. "Actually, it's not difficult to understand. I heard the whole thing from Noy on the way, so I probably have a guess." Ye Buyu opened his mouth, and said clearly: "First of all, the moment you crossed over, the corresponding you in this world disappeared at the same time. Maybe it was purely because the laws of physics were erased, or you passed through time. But it is said that the missing person who entered the Hawu Half Tunnel has never gone back, so I am more inclined to the former. Wang Yu in this world has already been dismembered by her parents, and because of her time travel, her parents saw it again When it came to Wang Yu who had already been killed, aside from this, it turned out that she was unsuspecting and killed it again. Because of her time travel, the flesh and even blood of Wang Yu's corpse in this world disappeared due to the laws of physics, and she also killed her again. Not impossible." "Makes sense." The old monk nodded in admiration. "What about the leopard? How did she fall off?" Mizuha asked. "Speaking of the leopard, Mengshan, why hasn't Qian Duoduo come?" Li Nuoyi suddenly looked at his best friend. Mengshan's face twitched involuntarily, and then she smiled.
