Chapter 578 Above the Posa (114) [VIP]
Apparently Xu Ke wasn't the only one with confused thoughts.
[Ah? Why did Aoshen want to self-destruct? ]
[Because they are about to leave this world, why not kindly tell Xu Ke how to rescue them? ]
[…Do you think Aoshen is such a kind person? ]
[And what Aoshen said is not true, right? Didn't they initially speculate that people related to the underworld killed people in the living world, which would awaken the memories of those living people? Why is he now saying that the living people will regain their memories after the people who are living in the living world die? ]
[To deceive Xu Ke? ]
[But they are leaving soon, why should we lie to Xu Ke? ]
[In order to trick the paper figurine from Xu Ke's hands? But even if they tricked it, there is no one who can deliver the paper figurine to the living world now. All the members of the Abnormal Investigation Bureau were wiped out.]
[Hiss, my brain is running out.]
It wasn't just the investors who were running out of ideas. In the unknown space, Xu Ke frowned and pondered for a few seconds, but couldn't help asking a second time: "How did you do it?"
"Wen Qi." Bai Jinshu did not respond to his question, but nodded behind him.
"Wen Qi?" Xu Ke turned his head and found that while he was deep in thought, Wen Qi and Jiang Jie, who were far away from him just now, had walked behind him.
"Brother Xu Ke," Wen Qi waved his hand slightly, with a familiar look of timidity and confusion on his face, "Why are you here?"
"I've brought the person to you," Zhao Yinglai shrugged beside him, "Why don't you two check what's going on? See which Wen Qi is the real one."
After saying this, Xu Ke actually looked Wen Qi up and down: "Three days ago... weren't you the one being chased with me?"
"No," Wen Qi shook his head, "Brother Jiang Jie told me that after you returned to the other world, Brother Xu Ke saw a Wen Qi... But I was here the whole time. I didn't go out that night."
"You didn't go out?" Xu Ke murmured in a low voice, "Then what I saw..."
So who was the Wen Qi in the world of the living that he met?
"Are you sure you didn't remember it wrongly?" Zhao Yinglai interrupted, "None of us called Wen Qi that night, and she didn't go out. Could it be that you recognized the wrong person when you ran away?"
"No..." Before Xu Ke could finish his words, Zhao Yinglai suddenly interrupted him.
"But it's hard to say. After all, this is..." She paused meaningfully, "If something strange happens, it's understandable."
"I..." Xu Ke started to ask, but didn't know how to continue.
He felt as if he was caught in a huge mystery.
Whether it was Wen Qi who appeared in both worlds, or this "other world" that he only knew a few hours ago was the underworld, there were also the team members trapped here, the death row prisoners who traveled back and forth between the two worlds to escape legal punishment, and the suspicious people who knew the truth before them and deliberately set fire to send the team members away...
They mentioned the people who had taken over other people's lives, the plan they provided to kill these people to save their teammates, and the means they used to kill people across two worlds...
This huge mystery seemed to be enveloping him at a lightning speed, and he was completely confused and didn't even know what role he played in it.
Zhao Yinglai watched Xu Ke's expression change several times, and tiptoed to Bai Jinshu's side, nudged him with his elbow, and when he looked at her, he lowered his voice and asked, "What did you say to Xu Ke?"
After she went to find Wen Qi, the only people left here were Skao and Xu Ke. From Xu Ke's current expression, it seemed that he was not just thinking about the question of whether Wen Qi was real or fake.
The long-haired young man blinked cleverly and did not answer her question, "How long until we leave?"
"About one or two hours," Zhao Ying looked at Xu Ke, who was lost in thought and didn't notice them. He opened his watch to check the time and whispered, "We have a rough plan on how to avoid risks. When the countdown is about one minute, everyone opens the panel to fill in the rules, leaving out dangerous words that may be caught by the rules, and then fills them in when the countdown is a few seconds. This is the safest way. Do you think it will work?"
"Okay," Bai Jinshu nodded, "Just distribute it among yourselves."
"Hey, what did you say to Xu Ke?" Zhao Yinglai looked at Xu Ke strangely, "It's the last two hours, just fool him and let him worry about whether Wen Qi is real or fake."
Just now on the way, she had told Wen Qi about the current situation. The two of them discussed it and decided to play dumb in front of Xu Ke and insist that they were not taken away by the underworld. They also didn't know who the "Wen Qi" in the world was.
It would be best if Xu Ke believed it, but if he doesn't, you could reveal a little flaw to make him think that this thing in the underworld is fake.
After all, Xu Ke's entry into the underworld was only temporary. He was not like Wen Qi who could act in two worlds at the same time. No matter how you look at it, Wen Qi was just a minor whose parents had both passed away in the world of the living. There were many things that would be much easier to handle if Xu Ke were there.
That was how they had originally arranged it… But now, Scario seemed to be talking to Xu Ke about something else when they were alone.
Thinking of Guan Hongyan's pitying look and her description of Scarao before she left, Zhao Yinglai suddenly felt that something was wrong.
"Xu Ke and I..." She saw Skao smile meaningfully and raised his chin towards Xu Ke, "I told him how to rescue his teammates."
Zhaoyinglai: "Ah?"
"What did you say?" She subconsciously raised her voice a little, then lowered it suddenly after realizing that her voice was too loud. "You just told him directly? Straight away?"
"That's not the case..." The long-haired young man blinked, his eyes full of interest, "I said, if you want to get people who shouldn't be here out, you have to let in those who should have been here a long time ago."
"Don't you think it's interesting?"
"What's interesting?" Zhao Yinglai took a breath, "It's interesting to let Xu Ke know that we kill people?"
Xu Ke is now a powerful weapon that can explode at any moment. As long as he wants, he can shout that sentence and take everyone away at any time. At such a critical moment, Scaro actually finds it interesting?
"No, no, no, what I mean is that it's interesting to let Xu Ke make the choice," Bai Jinshu shook his finger, motioning her to look in Xu Ke's direction, "Your worry is unnecessary. Xu Ke won't shout out that sentence. Once he shouts it out, everyone present except him will die. Even if he suspects that we are not good people, he can't punish everyone in this way."
A person who abides by the rules, believes in and practices procedural justice, would never allow himself to do such a thing.
——"He will start to verify first."
Following Bai Jin's words, Xu Ke was silent for a while and looked at Wen Qi.
"Have you been staying with Skao and the others these days?"
"Yes," Wen Qi nodded, "What's wrong, Brother Xu Ke?"
——"Then we will start to verify how many people are involved."
"Then do you know..." Xu Ke frowned, "Do you know how they rescued their team... their friends?"
Xu Ke had already seen Wen Qi setting the fire with them, and also ran into Tang Ling placing the paper figures. Even if Wen Qi wanted to deny it, he couldn't.
——"At times like this, Wen Qi will try to distance himself from the matter, downplay his own behavior, and emphasize the issue of the deceased."
"I know a little bit," Wen Qi said softly, with a hint of caution in her voice, "but...but those people are all bad guys."
——"But Wen Qi doesn't know what I said," Bai Jinshu raised his eyebrows slightly, "What she knows is that if you want to restore the memory of the people detained in this world, you must kill people in another world."
So at this time, Wen Qi and Xu Ke's understanding began to deviate.
Wen Qi would think that Xu Ke knew that Scarao killed people through him, and that all those who died before were killed by his hands. At the very least, he would think that the deaths of those people were related to himself. But in fact, Xu Ke is still at the stage where he doesn't know how Scarao and others kill people across the world.
"And then..." Zhao Yinglai twitched his lips, "Your pleasure is to watch these two people talking at cross purposes before leaving?"
This doesn't make any sense, does it?
"No... I said it at the beginning, my fun is to see what choice Xu Ke makes," Bai Jinshu looked at Xu Ke, "How do you think Xu Ke will answer Wen Qi?"
"It's nothing more than disagreement... and then there's ideological education," Zhao Yinglai thought for a moment, "but no matter what, he can't not save his teammates, right...?"
She paused: "Hiss, wait..."
Xu Ke now seems to be in a very delicate dilemma.
After learning that this was the underworld, the other members of the Abnormal Investigation Bureau had their memories erased and were trapped in this world. If Xu Ke wanted to awaken their memories, the only feasible method that has been tested is to let someone die in the world of the living.
If Xu Ke wants to rescue his teammates, he must kill people, but for him, he will only choose the way of procedural justice, that is, bringing the bad guys to justice.
"But not every criminal will be sentenced to death." Skao's voice sounded slowly at this time.
Since procedural justice must be followed, according to the law, there are not many crimes that are sufficient to be sentenced to death. What's more, those wandering souls that have replaced other people's lives have all chosen powerful figures. It is undoubtedly a fantasy for Xu Ke to bring those big figures to justice.
Obviously, Skao and his men now have a way to kill people across the world and deal with these big shots.
He entered the first selection.
The author has something to say:
I have been fighting against rhinitis and asthma this whole week. Fortunately, it is finally National Day. I can finally escape from the pollen and go to Liuchu’s house in the south to take refuge. I will work hard for seven days to finish writing this book during the National Day. . .
