"What's possible?"
"It may understand our every move..."
Xiao Mo savored Zhang Tianyi's words, and subconsciously glanced at the absolutely still pointer on his watch. At this moment, he suddenly realized the reason for all of this.
Why does reality seem to overlap with dreams, and why is everyone's time standing still, and what is the behind-the-scenes demon of this event.
Just as Xiao Mo was hesitating about whether or not to speak out his conjecture, Fu Xuefei suddenly woke up.
Fu Xuefei, who had just woken up, let out a piercing scream. Her pale face stared at the unfamiliar crowd beside her, and she curled up in fear, trembling with fear. From her appearance, it was clear that she regarded everyone as murderers, the culprits who killed Yi Ge.
Zhang Tian thought of this and took out his police ID again, standing up and walking to the front of Fu Xuefei.
"Stop, don't come over... Don't kill me..."
Fu Xuefei burst into tears of fear, Zhang Tianyi forced a faint smile on his face and handed the documents in his hand to Fu Xuefei:
"Don't be afraid, this is my ID, I'm a police officer in charge of this criminal case."
Having said that, Zhang Tian pointed to Xiao Mo who was not far away:
"This is Officer Xiao who called you last night. In order not to cause panic among you, we have been protecting you secretly all along."
"Are you really police?"
Fu Xuefei stared blankly at the document in her hand, and it seemed that the other party had not lied to her. She nodded and handed the document back to Zhang Tianyi with a trembling hand.
"Yi, the imperial concubine is dead!"
That ferocious head seemed to be floating in front of her eyes, causing her emotions to lose control.
"I'm very sorry, we failed to protect him, as well as Zhang Xiaoxi and Liu Sisi."
Upon hearing Zhang Xiaoxi and Liu Sisi's names, Fu Xuefei looked at Zhang Tianyi in disbelief, crying out:
"They also died?"
"Yes, also being killed."
"Impossible!" Fu Xuefei exclaimed sharply, shaking her head.
"Zhang Xiaoxi just went down the mountain because of something at home, while Liu Sisi was just out for a walk..."
"Think carefully, did anyone see Liu Sisi leave the tent at that time? Moreover, even if Zhang Xiaoxi had a huge emergency at home, would he remember to forget his phone and even his wallet? Is this logical?"
"But... but he still called us at that time..."
"Are you sure it was really Zhang Xiaoxi who called? And not something else?"
“……”
After a considerable amount of consolation and comfort, Fu Xuefei's emotions finally stabilized, and it was clear that her mental quality was much stronger than Yigong's.
"Can you be certain that you dreamed of Yigou and killed him in the dream, then put him into a travel bag?"
"I was certain that this nightmare had tormented me for the entire day, and I was restless all day, so I went to Yigou's tent to see if he had returned. To be honest, at that time, I had a feeling that Yigou was already dead and would not come back."
"Alright, don't think about that matter for now. Tell me, how many times have you dreamed of Yilan? What were the scenes like in your dreams?"
"It happened twice, the first time I was peeking at him from outside the tent while he was lying inside. Then he seemed to have found me and in a panic, I ran away and woke up. Looking back, it was this dream that made me pay attention to Yige because I felt extremely fearful and uneasy, always thinking something would happen to Yige."
"As for the second time, it was just like I described to you earlier. I killed him and dismembered his body."
At that time when they were asking Yigé, Yigé didn't mention that someone had been peeping at him, so it wasn't until Fuxuefei finished speaking that they understood.
Fu Xuefei looked at Zhang Tianyi with tears in her eyes and asked weakly:
"Are they really killed by ghosts?"
"You can think of it that way, but there may be something else, anyway, that's what we need to solve. Just answer our questions and cooperate with us on the case, because that thing is also after you!"
"Am I being targeted too?"
"Yes, originally the person who was supposed to die should have been you, but for some reason, it suddenly changed and killed Liu Sisi instead. What's your relationship with these people usually like?"
Fu Xuefei composed herself and replied with difficulty:
"One set on the surface and another behind, but there's no deep-seated hatred."
"Are you sure there isn't enough hatred to kill?"
"There shouldn't be, I think they won't be ugly to this extent."
"Who organized this camping trip?"
When Zhang Tianyi mentioned camping, Fu Xuefei suddenly thought of something and said in a hurry:
Camping was brought up by Lin Dangdang because Sophie in the class passed away, she and Lin Dangdang were best friends. So Lin Dangdang is very sad, I think this camping trip is to ease her mood.
But the thing is, normally we wouldn't be able to take this many days off. Yet somehow, none of our parents were at home. At first I didn't think it was a big deal, but when I called my parents yesterday to tell them about it, not only did they not scold me, they even told me to stay in the mountains and play for a few more days.
They were usually very strict and didn't seem like their style at all."
Fu Xuefei said up to here, Xiao Mo suddenly interrupted and asked:
"Your watch has stopped too, right?"
"Yeah, it's really spooky."
"What time does it stop at?"
"Twelve ten. It seems like it stopped a few days before camping, and I don't know why it's still carrying."
Xiao Muo's heart became even more certain of his conjecture, and he continued to ask:
"When did that person named Sophie pass away?"
Fu Xuefei thought for a moment before responding:
"It was probably the day I stopped wearing it. I remember Dangdang told me that Sophie had an accident, and then I looked at my watch and found it had stopped."
"Are you sure Sophie is dead? Rather than being in a coma, hospitalized? Have any of you gone to see her or met her parents?"
"No, after all we rarely have dealings with each other, I think Lin Dangdang should have gone."
"Has anyone spoken ill of Sophie during your camping trip? And when Liu SiSi disappeared, was Lin DangDang in your line of sight?"
"It seems like someone really said that, but it's not a bad thing, right? I remember yesterday when we played Truth or Dare, Liu Sisi said the person she dislikes the most is Su Fei. At that time, Lin Dangdang was resting in the tent and wasn't playing with us."
Even the rotten monk understood what was going on by this point, originally it should have been Fu Xuefei who got killed, but Liu Sisi ended up becoming a substitute corpse ahead of time, and it happened right after she finished saying how much she hated Sophie.
And this incident has ruled out the possibility of a vengeful spirit murder, so all suspicions are now focused on Lin Dangdang.
Suddenly enlightened, Monk Mianran also hastily asked a question:
"Are you sure Lin Dangdang is your classmate? Are you sure she's still alive?"
"Why ask this?" Fu Xuefei looked at Zou Rong in puzzlement, then she replied positively:
"She is certainly alive and also my classmate."
"Isn't she a ghost......"
The Taoist priest fell into a puzzle again. Looking at his puzzled expression, Xiao Mo couldn't help but laugh and say:
"Although Lin Dangdang is suspicious, she should be a living person, and this incident shouldn't be a curse but a ghost. A nightmare that kills through dreams!"
In other words, we are all in one person's dream! This is also why the clock stops while time still passes here.
In a dream, as long as the person who is dreaming wants it, even if we appear in outer space, anything is possible! And our time will stop at 1:10, while their time will stop at 12:10. This is exactly the moment when we enter this dream.
"This can be said to be a very real dream. I think the person who had this dream was Sophie, she must have been in an accident, but it seems that she didn't die, instead she fell into a deep coma."
Xiao Mu finished speaking, and except for Zhang Tian's furrowed brow as he gazed at Xiao Mu for a moment, the others' faces all showed enlightened expressions. If they were just in one person's dream, then all the mysteries could be solved. Why would Zhang Xiaoqi's experience in reality be the same as the dream world of Yi Ge, and why would Fu Xuefei's dream world be the same as Yi Ge's experience in reality? The combination of reality and dreams now had a reasonable explanation.
It's because this isn't the real world, but a virtual dreamland. As long as the dreamer imagines it, even if these people are just dreaming, it can still definitely happen.
So the previous cycles of two by two were broken, and Zhang Tianyi would say that thing understood everything they were doing, and they could all communicate. The existence of the two-by-two cycle was dispensable, and it seemed that the thing was torturing them, but as they slowly approached the truth, the thing began to kill people impatiently.
Because it fears that people will find a way to leave the dream, and wake up the dreamer, so it can't survive. This is also the rule it has created, which is also the only way to kill it.
But think about it, this is almost an impossible problem to solve. They are in someone else's dream, and is there really a way to make the dreamer wake up quickly?
(This is not the rhythm of the ending of this volume. But think about it, how can you wake up someone who is dreaming?)
