Wu Fei, an orphan, inexplicably inherited an adventure haunted house within a dilapidated amusement park. The catch? It couldn't be transferred or sold; she had to operate it herself, or face a...
Ma Xiaoling looked at her like she was stupid: "Don't you know the laws of our country? You killed thirteen people in a row. If you're not insane, you must be sentenced to death!"
"But I didn't kill those people!" Wu Fei said calmly, "The murderer looks exactly like me!"
Ma Xiaoling smiled: "We have checked the surveillance cameras outside the haunted house. Among the tourists who entered the haunted house today, there is no one who looks like you!"
"My employees can vouch for me!"
"They're your employees; they don't make ideal witnesses!" Ma Xiaoling said coldly. "After investigation, none of your employees have ID cards. The police are thoroughly investigating the true identities of each of them!"
"They come from a parallel world!" Wu Fei said calmly, "That's why they don't have ID cards."
Wu Fei stared at her: "Have you heard of parallel worlds? That woman is from a parallel world, so she looks exactly like me!"
Ma Xiaoling chuckled: "It seems that you are not mentally normal!"
"In this case, you may not be sentenced to death, but you will stay in a mental hospital for the rest of your life!"
Wu Fei seemed not to hear her words and continued, "The players I asked you to pay attention to today are also from parallel worlds!"
"But they are much more dangerous than my employees!"
Wu Fei stared at her with an unfathomable sneer on her face: "If you don't believe me, just look at how many murders there will be in this city tonight!"
Ma Xiaoling looked at her with sympathy: "It seems that you will spend the rest of your life in a mental hospital."
Wu Fei watched her leave and added, "If there are more murders in the next few days, you'd better come to me!"
Ma Xiaoling walked out of the room and said to the police officer next to her, "Close the door!"
The thick iron door was slammed shut, and Ma Xiaoling's footsteps gradually faded away, becoming heavy.
We arrived at an office, which was filled with various high-ranking police officers.
"Officer Ma, what do you think of what Wu Fei just said?"
Ma Xiaoling looked up at the big screen opposite the room. Wu Fei on the screen was sitting on the floor, not knowing what she was thinking.
"Did you all hear what she said just now?" Ma Xiaoling looked around at the police officers in the room.
"Parallel worlds have appeared in many movies, TV series, and novels..." one of the young male police officers said, "They're probably imaginary."
Ma Xiaoling sneered: "In the 5th century BC, Democritus proposed the concept of "countless worlds", believing that "countless worlds" were formed by the movement of atoms.
In the 4th century BC, Epicurus expressed the idea of the multiplicity of worlds: there are an infinite number of worlds, some like ours, some unlike ours; in all of them there are animals, plants, and other things that we see in our world.
In the first century BC, Lucretius noted that beyond our 'visible world' there existed 'other worlds' inhabited by 'other races of men and beasts.'
In the 1950s, physicist Hugh Everett III proposed his own ideas about the problem of quantum measurement. He pointed out that in quantum mechanics, there are multiple parallel worlds, and in each world, the results of each quantum mechanical measurement are different, so different histories occur in different parallel universes.
She looked around again and said, "So, I have reservations about what Wu Fei said."
"Officer Ma, do you think she is the murderer?"
"You heard it too, she thought it was someone from a parallel world who looked exactly like her!"
"That's a possibility, but we can't rule out the possibility that what she said just now was deceptive."
Ma Xiaoling sarcastically said, "An expert just examined her. How did the polygraph determine her?"
Several police officers looked at each other with awkward expressions.
"The results of the lie detector test...she didn't lie!"
But someone else said: "This is not completely accurate. People have cheated lie detectors before."
Ma Xiaoling looked at Wu Fei on the screen again and frowned deeply.
Wu Fei suddenly waved her hand in the direction of the big screen, lay down, closed her eyes, and began to think about her next strategy.
Obviously, she was designed by Eve to come to a parallel world.
What exactly does Eve want to do besides making her a death row inmate and sending those players along with her?
In fact, she was not very clear about the goals of those players, but she still reminded Ma Xiaoling.
I hope the police in this world will be more vigilant.
At the same time, before the meeting of Ma Xiaoling and others was over, a police officer hurriedly brought in a stack of documents.
"What are these?"
"The employees of the haunted house, that is, all the teachers and faculty members in the campus scene, actually exist in real life!" said the police officer, and immediately projected the information onto the large screen in the conference room.
"The campus scene in the haunted house was inspired by a private middle school in our city called Shengming. However, it was destroyed by a fire twenty years ago, killing thirty-four students and fifty-three teachers and staff."
"And the names of the fifty-three people we just brought back from the haunted house are the same as those of the teachers and staff who were burned to death that year!"
Looking at a table at the top of the big screen, the name, age, gender, and position in school on the information were all the same.
"This is impossible!" a female police officer exclaimed. "How could a dead person still be alive? This must be a deliberate plot they created to create a haunted house effect!"
Ma Xiaoling said in a deep voice: "It may not be a script!"
"Were they all separated during the interrogation?"
"Of course!"
Everyone in the conference room fell silent.
"Could it be..." someone asked hoarsely, "Those people have already died?"
The police officer who delivered the information said, "These people say they can't see the sun. Without the protection of their boss, they will be burned by the sun."
Ma Xiaoling suddenly remembered the bloody holes on Wu Fei's face and hands, and suddenly asked, "How did Wu Fei get those injuries?"
Someone flipped through the information on Wu Fei's physical examination: "Burn!"
"Can't see the sun?" a young police officer asked, "Wouldn't that mean you've become a vampire?"
Seeing everyone looking at him sideways, he hurriedly said, "I'm sorry..."
Ma Xiaoling frowned deeply and changed the big screen to Wu Fei's cell again.
On the rubber floor, Wu Fei lay on her side, motionless.
It was like the picture was half frozen, and she didn't even breathe.
Ma Xiaoling suddenly stood up: "Not good!"
She hurriedly rushed to the room where Wu Fei was being held with several police officers.
After she asked someone to open the door, she rushed in and twisted Wu Fei's shoulder over.
Wu Fei looked puzzled: "Officer Ma, although I am a suspect, I also have the right to rest!"
Ma Xiaoling glared at her: "Why didn't you breathe just now?"
