Chapter 23 21. Terrible conclusion
September 27, 200X at 6:44 AM
"Did you understand? Did you -- did you understand what I meant?" He said and gestured at me, "You don't have to speak, just nod or shake your head."
I stared blankly at the middle-aged male doctor wearing glasses in front of me.He came up to me alone, and told me a lot of obscure words, what kind of inductive psychopaths, people in the supermarket were all affected, causing mass hysteria... What he said was the same as what I said before What I understood is completely different from what I guessed. I really can't be sure if I understand everything.
Just when I was puzzled, I suddenly heard a policeman wearing a leather jacket reporting to someone on his mobile phone not far ahead: "A boy came out of the supermarket."
boy!I was startled—almost forgot about him!I turned around abruptly and searched around, but I didn't see the "boy" he said.But I saw another scene - a male policeman carried the old woman out of the supermarket, and shouted: "This old lady is the only one left alive in the supermarket, and everyone else is dead!"
The male policeman was with a young female policeman. They walked to an ambulance and said to several nurses: "This old lady is probably the only one in this supermarket who is not affected. She is deaf. I can speak a little dumb, just now I communicated with her, and she told me with gestures that everyone in this supermarket is crazy and is killing each other constantly!"
I stared blankly at them, confused in my mind—deaf-mute?The old lady turned out to be a deaf-mute!No wonder she never said a word to any of us, why didn't I think of that before?What did the policewoman mean when she said she was the only person in the supermarket who was not affected?My mind is getting more and more confused, and I can't understand everything at all.At this time, I thought of the murderer again, he has not been caught yet!I yelled to the male doctor in front of me: "Where is that boy? Quickly tell the police to catch that boy! He is a murderer!"
The male doctor frowned and asked suspiciously, "What did you say... a boy? Why, besides you, are there other boys in there?"
I'm completely stunned - what is he talking about?
Seeing that I was stunned again, the male doctor probably felt that it was very difficult to communicate with me, so he said, "Why don't we go to the hospital first, okay? Or, tell me who your parents are, who are they?" Where do you work?"
I stared at him like I was watching an alien from space, but he continued to ask: "Why don't you tell me which middle school you study in, okay?"
It was a strange and horrifying feeling—I was sinking slowly in an ice cave full of ice and snow.First, my feet were frozen into ice cubes, and then gradually upwards, the cold air spread to my whole limbs, freezing my blood, limbs, and thinking.I was completely turned into an ice sculpture that couldn't think.After a while, it seemed as if something in my brain was torn apart by a sudden thought.Driven by this thought, I suddenly felt like going crazy, and staggered towards the police car closest to me. In the rearview mirror on the left side of the police car, I saw the person in the mirror——
It was the face of a boy in his teens, exactly like the boy I saw in the supermarket!
In an instant, I understood everything.While the world was spinning, some clips that happened in the supermarket reappeared in my mind like a fast-playing black and white movie——
"You know? I have a daughter who looks about the same age as you. So seeing you gives me a sense of intimacy." (middle-aged uncle)
"The most important thing right now is that the ten of us must unite as one..." (middle-aged uncle)
"Actually, I had some doubts a long time ago, but I just held back and didn't say anything, but now it seems that the murderer must be that boy..." (female shop assistant)
Along with these memories came to light, the answers to all my previous questions.At this moment, my mind suddenly became very clear, and I understood everything—on the night of the accident, I went to study by myself at night, and after I came out of school, I read a magazine and went home.When passing by this supermarket, I walked in, and even while waiting in line to pay, my whole body and mind were still immersed in that wonderful story.The story was so beautifully written, it was called "A Single Woman's Life in a Different Place", and I was completely drawn into it by the author's writing style.It wasn't until the man with the gun broke in and threatened us not to move that the book in my hand fell to the ground.But I didn't realize it at all. After being extremely frightened, my mind was in a mess, and then I became a "single woman living in a different place".
And what happened in the supermarket in the next few days, I also understood-the arrogant and unreasonable bearded man desperately wanted to smash the door out the next day, and I was against doing this; Find out who the murderer is, and say she has found clues, which is obviously a threat to me; and the fashion girl is a time bomb, even revealing that she will use extreme methods to protect herself. How can she be reassured if she solves it?Obviously, the subconscious "boy" in my head would not allow these threats to exist. "He" got up quietly and killed them with a fruit knife while I was asleep!
Now, I have finally come to a terrible conclusion - the crazy murderer who killed three people in the supermarket is myself!
Now, my whole body is limp on the ground.What the doctors and policemen were saying to me was like the north wind howling, fleeting.I didn't catch a word of what they were saying.There is only one question on my mind right now - what should I do?Do you want to tell them all the truth, let them know what happened in the crazy five days and six nights in the supermarket, and then bow your head and confess.Of course, I believe that even if I don't say anything, they will draw conclusions from the on-site investigation and analysis, not to mention there is an old lady who has not been infected with the virus, and she will also describe everything she has witnessed in the past few days" Saying "come out - when the time comes, what will be my result?
However, at least one thing is worth consoling—the world is still there, the flowers, trees, and creatures are still alive, and I saw the sun rise again—maybe for me, this is enough.
The story of Yu Chicheng was finished. This story conceived in the afternoon was told from 7:00 pm to 10:00 pm.The excitement of the story exceeded everyone's expectations, and they secretly admired it in their hearts.So much so that after the story ended, everyone in the hall was still immersed in it, and no one spoke for a while. Nan Tian now understands that the mysterious host said that he "invited" 14 of the best suspense novel writers in China, which is indeed true.Just the first story made him feel a strong challenge.At this moment, he almost forgot the situation he was in, his blood boiled all over, and he even thanked this incident in his heart for giving him the opportunity to compete with these suspense masters. As the first storyteller, Yu Chicheng is very smart——Nan Tian sighed secretly——the story he told called "Invasion of Strange Disease" used the most classic "Blizzard Mountain Villa Mode" in suspense mystery novels.This kind of story mode in which strange events occur in a closed state is the most attractive and the easiest to shine in suspense novels.The important thing is that after he used this mode, the people behind him could no longer tell this type of story. This is a game of "fighting wits" to the extreme, and Nan Tian's heart is full of turmoil. "The story is very good." Araki Zhou broke the silence. "Well, let's start scoring now." "How?" Lake asked. Ryoma said: "The host has prepared it for us a long time ago—there is a stack of white paper and more than a dozen pens in the cabinet where the food is stored. The meaning could not be more obvious." Beidou said: "I'll get it." He stood up and walked towards the cabinet, and came back after a while holding a pen and blank paper.He handed out paper and pens to everyone next to each other. Except for Yu Chicheng, the other 13 people wrote a number on the white paper.Yu Chicheng swallowed his saliva, looking a little nervous. Nan Tian scored 9 points for Yu Chicheng. After everyone finished writing, Beidou put away the 13 sheets of paper again and asked, "Who will help me count together." Nan Tian and Long Ma said together: "Let me come." They both walked towards Beidou together.Under everyone's gaze, Nan Tian added up the numbers on each piece of paper. Because it was a secret ballot, Nan Tian didn't know who scored which score.But he can feel that everyone is fair, and the scores are basically 8 or more, and only one person scores 6-it seems that most people think this is an excellent story. After adding everything up, Nan Tian divided the number by 13 to get the total score of the first story.He announced: "The average final score for this story is (rounded to the second decimal point) points." Yu Chicheng nodded to Nan Tian, it seems that he is quite satisfied with this score. "The score of the first story is so high, the people behind us are under pressure." Beidou stuck out his tongue. At this time, Xu Wen suddenly expressed a little anxiety, and said: "Tomorrow is my turn..." He stood up from the chair, looked down, as if talking to the floor, "I want to Go back to your room and get ready." Xu Wenwu walked up the stairs, entered his room, and closed the door tightly.Xia Houshen said, "Let's go back to our room and rest." The people in the hall dispersed one after another. Sajia and Nan Tian walked together and whispered: "I think that person named Xu Wen is a bit weird. He seems to be more anxious than all of us. In fact, even if his story If you don’t get a high score, don’t worry about it.” Nan Tian stopped in his tracks: "Could it be...he has any reason to win this 'competition'?" Sajia showed a puzzled expression: "Why does he have to win?" Nan Tian waved his hands and said, "Not necessarily, I'm just guessing. The specific reason, I plan to find a chance to ask him tomorrow." The next morning, everyone gathered in the hall, took out food and water from the cabinet, and ate a simple breakfast. Nan Tian gnawed on dry bread while watching Xu Wen who was sitting opposite him. He looked more anxious than yesterday, his brows were furrowed all the time, his eyes were darkened, and his face was haggard. It seemed that he didn't sleep well last night.He only took two bites of the bread in his hand, and seemed unable to eat it anymore.Those two protruding eyes stared blankly at a certain place, with a preoccupied look. Nan Tian saw Xu Wen wrap the unfinished bread in plastic paper and put it aside.He got up from his chair and went to his room again. Nan Tian knew that once Xu Wen returned to the room, he would lock the door tightly again, and it would not be so easy for him to open it.He hurried up. At the corner of the stairs, Nan Tian walked quickly around to Xu Wen, and said with a smile: "Mr. Xu Wen, I want to talk to you, can I?" Xu Wen looked at him alertly: "What are you talking about?" Nan Tian pretended to be casual and said: "It's nothing, isn't it your turn to tell a story tonight? I want to ask if you have a good idea." Unexpectedly, Xu Wen didn't seem to care about this issue at all: "One day is enough for me to conceive a story. There is nothing to worry about." After finishing speaking, he was about to walk towards the room . Nan Tian hurried to catch up: "Since this is the case, please forgive me for being blunt - why have you been anxious and preoccupied since last night? It seems that you are worried or afraid of something." These words seemed to hit Xu Wen's mind, he raised his head, stared into Nan Tian's eyes, and suddenly shivered. Nan Tian was stunned, he didn't know why Xu Wen had such a reaction. Xu Wen looked around nervously, and found that there were only the two of them at the corner of the stairs. He grabbed Nan Tian's hand and said, "Why do you ask me this question? Do you have the same premonition as me? thing?" Nan Tian looked at him in astonishment: "...What happened? What happened?" "I don't know exactly what will happen." Xu Wen's bloodshot eyes widened, as if they were about to pop out of their sockets. "But I just have this feeling... That madman gathered us here, and mixed with us, not as simple as letting us tell stories every day. He must have done something else, and today... Trust me, my instincts have always been better than anyone else's." Nan Tian stared at Xu Wen and saw the fear in those eyes.This made him inexplicably believe that Xu Wen's intuition was not without reason.Just when he was about to ask more questions, Xu Wen suddenly found someone walking towards the stairs.He shook off Nan Tian's hand, walked quickly into his room, and then closed the door with a bang. Looking at the closed wooden door, Nan Tian stood at the corner of the stairs in a daze. He didn't realize that in the hall downstairs, someone had been watching them since just now. At noon, everyone went to the cabinet in the hall to get something to eat.Nan Tian noticed that Xu Wen didn't come down. He didn't eat much in the morning, isn't he hungry now?Nan Tian thought.Or, the sense of fear has made him lose his appetite? When Nan Tian was in a daze, An Huo next to him bit a piece of sausage and cursed, "Damn it, we're just like prisoners now!" "What's like', it is." Lake said with a wry smile, "However, you should be thankful that we are not sentenced to life imprisonment." "After 14 days, can we really go out?" Darkfire said. With a puzzled expression on his face, Lake chewed the biscuit and said, "We'll know when the time comes." At this time, a cold voice came from the side: "Anyway, I can go out." Several people were startled and looked over there at the same time. The speaker was Araki Boat. Lake stopped eating and opened his mouth blankly. Araki Shuu walked up to him and said close to Lake's nose, "Don't treat this as a boring prison, and don't waste every minute. Use your eyes and heart to observe carefully, and you will definitely find something." Lake whispered in astonishment: "You mean... the identity of 'that person'?" "Yes. I don't believe that for so many days, 'that person' will have no flaws at all. As long as you are a human being, you will make mistakes, and it is impossible to be perfect. Remember this." Araki Zhou put the back of his hand on Lake's chest Take two shots. "Why...why are you telling me this?" "Because according to my observation, you are not 'that person'." Arakaki snorted, and approached Lake's ear again, "And I should be sure that 'that person' will show his feet sooner or later, there is no need to wait 14 God, I can catch him." After saying these words, Araki Zhou sneered mysteriously, turned and left. Darkfire was always by their side, watching them intently, listening carefully to their conversation. Nantian is the same.He felt surprised——When Araki Zhou said these words, he didn't shy away from the people beside him at all.Could it be that he already has some clues about the identity of "that person"? With guesses and doubts, Nan Tian walked towards his room.The people in the hall basically finished their food and went back to their rooms one after another. Yu Chicheng lay in his bed and took a nap, now he is the most relaxed among the 14 people. A light knock on the door woke him up. Yu Chicheng sat up from the bed and asked, "Who?" The people outside the door did not speak.Yu Chicheng felt strange, walked to the door, opened the door slightly, and saw the person standing at the door. "It's you, why are you looking for me?" He asked wonderingly. "Can I come in and talk?" the man said softly. Yu Chicheng hesitated slightly, and opened the door: "Come in." After the man came in, he turned around and locked the door of the room. "Why do you need to lock the door, can't you just say that?" Yu Chicheng became a little vigilant. "What I'm going to say, I guess you don't want others to hear." "What exactly is it?" Yu Chicheng frowned. The man made a gesture to signal Yu Chicheng to come closer, then put his mouth close to his ear, and whispered a few words. "What! You said...how, how is this possible!" After hearing what the man said, Yu Chicheng suddenly became short of breath, terrified. "Anyway, I told you. As for what you think, that's up to you." The man said flatly. "It's impossible...impossible..." Yu Chicheng shook his head, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.He repeated this sentence over and over, with a look of horror on his face. "Don't lie to yourself, in fact, you are also aware of this problem now." "Okay, I don't want to talk about this issue now. Please go out, I'm a little tired and want to be alone for a while." Yu Chicheng waved his hand in annoyance. "Okay." The man walked to the door, opened it with a slight movement, and walked out. Yu Chicheng stepped forward quickly and closed the door. He turned around and tried to control his emotions, but he still couldn't help trembling all over his body. seven o'clock in the evening. Everyone has already sat in their seats, except for one person. Xia Houshen looked at his watch: "It's already seven o'clock, why hasn't Yu Chicheng come down?" Beidou said, "How about I call him?" "Go." Xia Houshen said. Beidou went up to the second floor, came to the door of Yu Chicheng's room, and knocked on the door. After a while, Beidou came down from upstairs and spread his hands: "Mr. Yuchi said he was not feeling well, so he won't come down." "What, won't come down?" Xia Houshen frowned. "Does he think that after telling the story, it doesn't matter to him? He still has to rate other people's stories." "Forget it, since Mr. Yuchi is not feeling well, let him rest. Anyway, I am recording, and I can show him the story after I finish telling it, and then retell the content with him." Ryoma said. Xia Houshen snorted, as if he was very dissatisfied with Yu Chicheng's loose attitude. Long Ma asked: "Mr. Xu Wen, is this okay?" Xu Wen shrugged his shoulders: "I don't care." Araki Shuko looked at his watch: "Then let's start, it's already 10 past 7 o'clock." Xu Wen nodded, but looked at Long Ma: "Young man, can I make a request to you?" "You say." "When I speak later, I will try to slow down my speech. That's because I hope you can record this story in as much detail as possible." Longma agreed: "Okay. Do you hope that when I show it to Mr. Yuchi, he can understand the story in more detail?" "No, that's not the reason." Xu Wen hesitated for a moment, then said, "I think, after I finish telling this story, something might happen...and this thing...is related to the story I told .” "What do you mean?" Qian Qiu frowned and looked at him, as if he didn't quite understand. "...Forget it, it's nothing." Xu Wen said solemnly.He took a deep breath and collected himself. "I'd better tell the story first." He began to speak.
The story of Yu Chicheng was finished. This story conceived in the afternoon was told from 7:00 pm to 10:00 pm.The excitement of the story exceeded everyone's expectations, and they secretly admired it in their hearts.So much so that after the story ended, everyone in the hall was still immersed in it, and no one spoke for a while.
