2 minutes
Is it a curse or a reminder?
The illusionist stared at the two words, took one last look back at the laboratory, and stepped into the corridor in front of him.
There was a long mirror on one side of the corridor and a cold wall on the other. There was no light overhead. She walked forward about 10 meters with the light from the laboratory behind her, and then the light in the laboratory went out.
The illusionist did not stop. She continued to walk forward at the same pace, while extending a hand to explore the way.
Her hand quickly touched the cold door, and she silently calculated in her mind that the corridor was 80 meters long and it would take 1 minute.
The door locked automatically as soon as the Memory Master entered.
It was still the same laboratory. The clock on the wall showed 12:21, and the two bodies had changed their appearance.
The corpse changed from a girl with white hair and white dress to a middle-aged man in a plaid shirt and brown glasses. The amnesiac quickly deduced that the man was a teacher or a researcher, and their death was even more bizarre than that of the girl.
Two identical bodies were found dead in a dental chair and another strange machine, with the capsule chamber covered with red cloth.
The illusionist lifted the red cloth, revealing only blue liquid and nothing else.
To make it easier to distinguish, the illusionist named the corpse on the dental chair Deceased A.
A was half lying quietly, with his hands folded on his chest, his eyes closed peacefully, and a faint smile on the corners of his mouth.
The fatal wound was on the throat, pierced by a sharp dagger. The dagger was of a strange shape, with a groove in the middle for bleeding.
There was a large area of splattered blood on his clothes, but there were no other external injuries on his body.
AThe image and expression of the corpse...it was as if it had agreed with the murderer and was lying quietly in the chair waiting to die.
The other body was named Deceased B.
B was in a very tragic condition. He was lying on the strange machine with his head stuck in the groove of the machine.
It was impossible to identify the fatal wound on B's body. He had been stabbed multiple times from behind. A large amount of blood gathered at his feet. It was suspected that he died from excessive blood loss.
The illusionist turned B's body over.
He died with his eyes open, and his face showed an expression of extreme fear, as if he had encountered a vicious ghost.
I don't know where she touched, but there was a "beep" sound coming from the groove, and the three green words "Collected" appeared on the display screen next to it.
The illusionist pulled B's body out of the groove and laid it face down on the ground. She pulled the dagger out of A's throat and compared the wounds of the two bodies.
They were injured by the same weapon.
Both bodies were warm, and the blood on the ground had not coagulated, so it was obvious that they had died not long ago, but they must have died in a certain order.
The amnesiac held the dagger and imagined and deduced the circumstances of the crime.
B was debugging a machine in the laboratory when A suddenly rushed in with a dagger. B looked at A as if he had seen a ghost and immediately turned around and ran away in panic. A caught up with him and stabbed him several times from the back. B's blood splattered on A's clothes...
Why is B so frightened after seeing A?
Anyone who sees a knife-wielding villain with a face exactly like his own would be scared out of his wits.
A dragged the seriously injured B and pressed B into the groove of the strange machine.
The dagger had penetrated very deeply, rupturing B's internal organs and causing a large amount of blood to gush out. B cried out for help weakly a few times but soon died.
A successfully kills B, then what?
Then he committed suicide
It's impossible. The illusionist denies himself.
It takes a lot of strength and speed to insert the dagger into the throat. This kind of death by one blow will not leave A time to adjust his posture and expression.
It was as if a third person suddenly appeared in the laboratory and quickly discussed with A - they didn't even have time to discuss because the time of death of A and B was too close.
They seemed to have reached a consensus without saying a word or were carrying out a pre-arranged task. A was killed by a third person, and A even assumed an inexplicable posture before his death.
How did the third person get in? The Memory Master looked up and saw the clock on the wall showing 12:31.
"Knock knock knock"
There was another soft knock on the door, and the Memory Master ran over.
Her heart was filled with excitement, and she knew how the third person came in, he knocked on the door like this and visited calmly.
The illusionist pushed the door open, unable to hide the disappointment on his face - there was no one outside.
There was another small piece of paper on the ground:
【Commit suicide soon】
She glanced back at the laboratory and stepped into the corridor in front of her.
At 12:32, the illusionist returned to the laboratory where the two bodies of the white-haired girls were. There was a piece of paper in front of the capsule where the bodies were soaked, with the rules written on it.
1. The instrument in the laboratory is called Kaleidoscope, which is used to solve superpower murder cases. It can collect superpower residues from the victims and enter the strange story constructed by memory.
2. The corpse in the capsule is the battery of the kaleidoscope. Put the corpse directly into the groove, lie on the chair and observe the kaleidoscope to start the instrument.
3. You are in a weird story, try to get out of it.
The illusionist held up the rules, emptied his mind as usual, and waited for a while.
Nothing happened.
What was I waiting for? The Memory Master pressed hard on the solar plexus, trying hard to recall.
But she just couldn't think of anything, so she forced herself to focus on the rules.
These three points are more like instructions for using the kaleidoscope than rules.
In this way, the purpose of A in the other laboratory is easy to understand.
A's superpower is appearance copying. He copied B's appearance, killed B, and wanted to enter the strange story of killing B himself.
But A obviously failed. There was no corpse in the capsule and it could not be used as a battery. The machine could not start without a battery, and A was killed.
The illusionist raised his head and saw a white-haired girl soaking in blue liquid in front of him.
There is no corpse in the laboratory over there, but there is a corpse in this laboratory. She can drag A over here and try to enter A's ghost story. She will definitely see the third person who killed A.
12:42, "Tap, tap, tap"
The illusionist opened the door, and there was still no one outside. She picked up the piece of paper on the ground.
Kill her quickly
Who is "she"? It's unclear.
The Memory Master came to another laboratory, dragged the corpse and pushed open the door.
As soon as she entered the corridor, the light behind her went out, faster than every time before, which always went out after she walked 10 meters.
The Memory Master frowned and thought about the whole thing. She always felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't tell why.
The only sounds in the darkness were the rustling of bodies being dragged and her own panting.
From the moment you enter the ghost story, strange things happen one after another.
The "strange" here does not refer to the strangeness of seeing two sets of identical corpses, but the strange reaction of the illusionist himself.
She woke up in a strange and dangerous environment and lost all her memories, but she did not feel any fear or confusion. Instead, she began to reason as if it was normal, which meant that this was not the first time she had encountered such a situation.
After seeing the paper with the word "rules" written on it, she habitually emptied her mind, as if she was ready to receive some information. Rules are the "key" to unlock the information.
If the white-haired girl who wrote the rules was the "key" and the "key" was killed by someone, then there must be a second player in this strange story.
Moreover, the player has not lost his memory. He knows that this is a ghost story and who the illusionist is. He must have entered the ghost story with a special purpose.
The Memory Master paused.
Time, of the essence.
At 12:12, she entered the ghost story, and at 12:20, the second player knocked on the door and left a note telling her to die soon, with an interval of 8 minutes.
At 12:21, she walked to another laboratory, and at 12:31 there was a knock on the door, with an interval of 10 minutes.
At 12:32, she returned to the lab where she woke up, and at 12:42 there was a knock on the door, with an interval of 10 minutes.
The second player's plan must be to knock on the door every 10 minutes, but he doesn't know that the illusionist inside the door wakes up 2 minutes later.
The illusionist didn't know why she woke up 2 minutes later. She only needed to know that there was a second player in the ghost story, and that the player wanted her to commit suicide.
Coincidentally, the white-haired girl who provided the rules also committed suicide, so "suicide" should be part of the rules.
Remembering the lights in the lab suddenly going out, the Memory Master knew where the other player was.
She held the dagger in her mouth, inserted her hands under the armpits of the corpse, dragged the heavy corpse for 80 meters, pushed open the door of the laboratory in the dark, and pulled the corpse in.
The light is on.
The illusionist suddenly stretched out a foot, locked the laboratory door, and rushed into the corridor with the light from the laboratory.
She stared at the mirror on the side of the corridor. The image in the mirror was not symmetrical with her in reality.
In other words, it was not a mirror at all, but a piece of transparent glass, and on the other side was a superpower who had the ability to copy one's appearance.
The illusionist raised the dagger and smashed the transparent glass.
"As expected of you, you discovered it so quickly." The swordsman stared at the memory master with a fiery gaze.
"Who are you and what do you want to do?"
The swordsman made a surprised expression: "I forgot it completely."
He moved a few steps to the left, revealing the body behind him, and smiled oddly: "Let Chen Tu help you recall it."
The moment he saw Chen Tu’s body, memories flooded into his brain and Chen Yingsheng understood everything instantly.
The Qiao Feixiang she saw at Danjiang University was not Qiao Feixiang, but Jianxia.
In reality, Jianxia killed Qiao Feixiang and collected the superpower residue. He then transformed into Qiao Feixiang's appearance and deceived Chen Yingsheng into Qiao Feixiang's kaleidoscope.
There was no such thing as "Chen Tu has been dead for 9 years, and the remaining superpowers need 10 minutes to activate." What the swordsman gave her was the kaleidoscope that Qiao Fei had thought of.
The reason for leaving a 10-minute interval is because the swordsman needs to enter the kaleidoscope in advance and make all preparations.
The swordsman entered the kaleidoscope and met himself who was killing Qiao Feixiang. The moment the two saw each other, the swordsman in the strange story immediately realized that he was fake and the scam he had set up had succeeded.
The Ghost Swordsman was killed by himself as planned. He was the corpse A in another laboratory, and the real Qiao Fei was probably the corpse B.
The swordsman killed himself in the ghost story, quickly found the white-haired girl, and killed her before she finished writing the rules. He snatched the rule paper, tore it into small pieces, and wrote words such as "die soon" and "commit suicide soon" on it to mislead Chen Yingsheng.
Then he dragged Chen Tu's body from another laboratory and hid it to prevent Chen Yingsheng from having his memory awakened after seeing Chen Tu.
Finally, he turned into Chen Yingsheng's appearance and pretended to be Chen Yingsheng's shadow in the mirror.
At this point, the swordsman's control over the entire strange story exceeds that of the original owner of the strange story, Qiao Feixiang, and also exceeds that of the white-haired girl who provided the rules.
The white-haired girl could only remind Chen Yingsheng by committing suicide.
Fortunately, Chen Yingsheng entered the Kaleidoscope 2 minutes later, and the time gap allowed her to discover that there was a second player present, otherwise she would have been completely led by the swordsman.
The rules were written by Jianxia, and he had two purposes. One was to make Chen Yingsheng commit suicide in the kaleidoscope; the other was to make Chen Yingsheng enter Qiao Fei's kaleidoscope again, and enter the kaleidoscope inside the kaleidoscope. No one knew what would happen.
The swordsman who had the same face as Chen Yingsheng gave a malicious smile: "Have you completed your deduction, great detective?"
