Mystery: Higher-Dimensional Overlookers

Chapter 505 Confused
Cheshire Cat...what's up?

Zhou Mingrui's pupils suddenly dilated. He remembered clearly that the name he saw before was "Alice".

Zhou Mingrui subconsciously clenched his fists, but when he clenched his fists, he found that his right hand was holding a hardcover book. Zhou Mingrui's eyes moved to his right hand hanging beside him, and the seven big words "Alice in Wonderland" that were exactly the same as in his illusion suddenly came into Zhou Mingrui's eyes, making his pupils tremble.

Under the reflection of the sun, there seemed to be some crimson moonlight floating on these seven characters. The grating-like flashing crimson lines made Zhou Mingrui feel as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.

I actually brought the things in the hallucination into the real world? Zhou Mingrui felt a little panic in his heart, and his face turned a little pale.

Zhou Mingsen, who was standing opposite Zhou Mingrui, looked at Zhou Mingrui and couldn't help but frowned: "Are you sick?"

"I know you just graduated and you're under a lot of pressure to find a job. But don't put yourself in a difficult position out there. Otherwise, you'll be putting the cart before the horse and end up looking worse than a curly-haired baboon."

The elder brother's jokes were still as bad as ever... But what was a curly-haired baboon? The latest joke? Although Zhou Mingrui was confused and frightened, he didn't want to make his relatives worry about him, so he just nodded and explained to his brother:

"I think we should help this kitten find its owner?"

He subconsciously began to change the subject.

Zhou Mingsen heard the hidden meaning in his brother's words: his brother did not want to continue discussing this matter with him. Zhou Mingsen nodded:

"Let's post a message on the Internet to find its owner. I'll also go to other places to ask if there are any cats missing. Of course, Zhou Mingrui, you have to do a good job of checking while I'm helping him find his owner."

Zhou Mingsen had obviously thought it through in detail: "If we can't find its owner in the end, just keep it in our home."

"Ok."

Zhou Mingrui nodded his head like an ostrich banging on the ground.

……

"Brother, is this the cat you found outside?"

Zhou Mingli reached out her hand and gently touched the kitten's forehead. The Cheshire cat cooperated and tilted its body, falling to the ground and pretending to be dead. But after Zhou Mingli took out the cat strips that Zhou Mingrui had bought outside and tore them apart, the kitten couldn't help but cry again.

Zhou Mingrui sat on his brother Zhou Mingsen's recliner, watching his sister playing with the kitten, and gently pressed his brow. Zhou Mingli said "eh" softly and looked up at his brother:
"Brother, why do I feel like there's something on your mind that you haven't said? Are you having a conflict with your brother again?"

Is it so obvious? Zhou Mingrui was stunned for a moment, and he subconsciously said:
"I'm thinking about finding a job recently - why do you think I'm having a conflict with Benson, no, with my brother?"

Luckily, I almost let it slip just now, and almost told my sister that I could see hallucinations recently. This matter involves extraordinary power, and I can't tell them before I figure it out, otherwise it will easily put them in danger.

But who is Benson?
Even though Zhou Mingrui had just graduated from school, he knew very well how dangerous it was for ordinary people to have an extraordinary ability that could change their physical qualities. Although this extraordinary ability could allow Zhou Mingrui to possess power beyond that of ordinary people, it was also something that outsiders coveted all the time.

This extraordinary ability is like a double-edged sword, which can easily hurt oneself. Once a mistake occurs, it will drag oneself and the people around him into a bottomless abyss.

Zhou Mingrui took out a deck of cards from the side with his other hand. Just a shake of his fingers left multiple afterimages in the air. The cards flipped quickly and became the suit and order he wanted.

Zhou Mingrui knew that this was something he would never have been able to do before, and that this was all a gift from his extraordinary abilities. But when Zhou Mingrui was playing cards, Zhou Mingli, who was playing with a cat next to him, noticed the movements of her brother's hands and said to him with some confusion:

"Zhou Mingrui, when did you learn this? I remember you were always clumsy before, and your finger movements were not so coordinated..."

You're asking me about this? You're really my sister... Zhou Mingrui twitched his lips and said to Zhou Mingli in front of him, "When I was in college, I had more free time. I practiced more and I got it right."

Zhou Mingli, who had a pair of dark eyes, suddenly realized something and said to Zhou Mingrui as if on purpose: "No wonder you are worried about finding a job now."

Looking at Zhou Mingli, whose eyes seemed to show her care for her mentally retarded brother, Zhou Mingrui's mouth twitched slightly and he sighed softly. It was no wonder he thought so. After all, Zhou Mingli's academic performance was very good, and she was far ahead in mathematics, physics and chemistry. This made it impossible for Zhou Mingrui to refute Zhou Mingli on academic performance. After all, after studying in college for a few years, he was "somewhat" clueless about high school issues.

He sighed, closed his eyes helplessly, lay down on his brother Zhou Mingsen's armchair, and began to arrange in his mind the things he had encountered recently and the hallucinations he had seen.

First of all, I need to figure out where my power comes from; and what kind of intersection exists between that "illusion" world and the real world.

The warm sunshine was on Zhou Mingrui, but even the mild sunshine could not bring him enough warmth. Zhou Mingrui closed his eyes, and his thoughts continued to extend in his mind:

"Alice, now the Cheshire Cat, seemed to have lost her mind again after she told me the name 'Amani'."

"The strange thing is that I never knew anything about Amanesis before, so it's unlikely that this is my hallucination. And it was only after investigation that I found out that 'Amanis' is a foreign clothing brand, and the brand is named after the designer of this brand's clothing, 'Amanis'."

"Then when I was investigating this matter, I met Gao Wei again. He seemed to be a person who had the same illusion and extraordinary power as me. However, I found out in my dream that he was a false and untouchable phantom. After I realized this, Gao Wei's figure disappeared again in reality."

"I originally thought that reality is reality and illusion is illusion. Although I can get inexplicable extraordinary power from illusion, the things in illusion cannot affect reality. But after touching the higher dimension, I fell into a coma. Although I don't know how long it lasted, it will definitely not be too long.

"After I came out of the coma, I came across the book Alice in Wonderland. It was then that Alice in the outside world became the Cheshire Cat."

Zhou Mingrui rubbed his brows again: "So, the origin of all things can be attributed to the time when I discovered that the 'high dimension' is virtual..."

After sorting out the timeline, Zhou Mingrui discovered that the abnormality in himself was caused by the time he met "Alice" in his dream, after "Alice" destroyed the beast formed by her inner fear; and the abnormality in the outside world, that is, Alice changed from "Alice" to "Cheshire Cat", and then he was able to bring out "Alice in Wonderland" in his dream.

One thing that cannot be avoided is what happened during the short period of time when I was in a coma? Or, was I not in a coma, but encountered some other things that caused me to lose my memory during this short period of time?
So how can I bring what I have discovered in the "illusion" out of the "illusion"?
Why did Alice's name become the Cheshire Cat?
Is “Alice” really Alice? Is “Hallucination” really an illusion?
If Zhou Mingrui remembered correctly, "Alice in Wonderland" was a very classic fairy tale for him, but why was the copy of "Alice in Wonderland" in his hand filled with "Be careful Alice"?

Could it be that the person who left me this book was reminding me to be careful about Alice? Be careful about the kitten?
However, not to mention that Alice's name has changed now, Zhou Mingrui remembers clearly that the "Alice" written on her name tag is Alice in double quotation marks.

Zhou Mingrui recalled the plot of "Alice in Wonderland", which describes a story about a little girl named Alice falling into a rabbit hole.

There have always been many interpretations of this fairy tale. Some say that it is just a pure story of wandering in dreams, while others say that it is a growth story describing the dream owner "Alice" from childhood to adulthood.

The rabbit hole, the Cheshire Cat, the Mad Hatter... Zhou Mingrui thought about it, but he didn't think about what the person who left this book to him wanted to tell him.

He sighed deeply and took out the copy of "Alice in Wonderland" that he had brought out from the hallucination. He held the book in his hands and was about to open it, but he saw that his sister had stopped playing with the cat and turned to look at him, looking at the book he had opened.

Wait, the long string of bloody words written here will scare children! Zhou Mingrui subconsciously raised his hand to stop it, because he knew that anything related to his hallucinations would not be normal and could easily lead to some terrible disasters.

However, his hand was still a step too slow. Zhou Mingli took the fairy tale book from his hand, or rather, this book was actually more like a picture book for children.

"Brother, what is this?"

After a while, Zhou Mingli's hesitant voice sounded in Zhou Mingrui's ears. Hearing the question in his sister's tone, Zhou Mingrui was stunned for a moment:
what?
He didn't understand why his sister asked such a question. Wasn't this just an ordinary book?
No, no, no, even the pages of the book filled with blood-red fonts shouldn't have this kind of expression, right?
Zhou Mingli pursed her lips and turned the pages of the "fairy tale book" one by one, without any intention of saying anything else. Seeing his sister like this, Zhou Mingrui leaned over and said to Zhou Mingli: "Is there any problem? I saw it outside and thought it was very interesting, so I brought it back."

"Well... I just didn't expect that you would be so childish now and buy fairy tales for children."

Zhou Mingli sighed, and Zhou Mingrui felt that his sister seemed to look at him with a little pity and sighed deeply. Zhou Mingrui suddenly felt a fierce sense of separation in his heart, as if... his "sister" would not talk to him like this, nor would she act like this.

He heard his sister continue: "And brother, this story, um, Alice in Wonderland is very interesting. Is it a new book that was published recently?"

New book? New book!
Zhou Mingrui's pupils trembled:
"You do not know?"

This story is so classic that even I, a college student who is now an adult, know how famous this story is.

But how could my sister, a middle school student who didn't have a cell phone or a computer and whose main source of entertainment was television, movies, books, and stories, not know this story?
Even though he hadn't read the original text - after all, Zhou Mingrui believed that most people hadn't read the original text. However, Zhou Mingrui also remembered that he had seen news about the release of a movie adaptation of "Alice in Wonderland" before, and at this time his sister actually told him this story. She had never heard of it before?

"What's wrong with you, Zhou Mingrui?" He looked up at Zhou Mingli and found that his sister was looking at him with a rather strange look:

"Look, isn't there a date and time written right here?"

Zhou Mingli said this to her brother, reaching out to turn the book to the last page, pointing at the letters and data written on it:
"Have you forgotten such simple common sense?"

Common sense, how can this be common sense? Although there are authors who write down the time of their writing in books, in any book I have ever seen, there is no common sense that is marked out in such a funny way in such detail!
The end time of a story is never marked on the "CIP" page of any book published in this country!

Zhou Mingrui roared in his heart. Twisted and bizarre illusions reappeared before his eyes. The crimson moonlight sprinkled on his face. In his hands, the words on the book "Alice in Wonderland" floated slowly.

Zhou Mingrui stared at the pages of the book, which were once again stained with blood.
