Survival Paradox [Infinite]

Yuan Qi: "Who is this person? Shall I call the police for you?"

He said this to Shuo Shu, and the person he pointed at was Wei Chi.

Wei Chi was stunned.

"what's going on?"

"elder brother?"

Wei Yuan and Gao Qiusuo saw this scene as soon as they regained consciousness. Before Wei Yuan had any reaction, Gao Qiusuo was choked by the illusory bread crumbs, turned around, covered his mouth and retched, and Wei Yuan hurriedly patted him on the back.

Ji Jingzhe just stared at Wei Chi with a gloomy expression.

Yuan Qi turned to Shuoshu and called again: "Brother..."

Wei Yuan jumped over at once and grabbed Yuan Qi's shoulder: "Hey Yuan Qi, what kind of plane are you flying? Where is your brother Chi?"

Like a frightened little hamster, Yuan Qi turned his head to hide behind Shuo Shu, and at the same time hugged Shuo Shu's arm, showing half of his face to look at Wei Yuan tremblingly: "Brother Qiang, save me!"

Wei Yuan: "Huh? What the hell is Brother Qiang?"

Shuoshu hesitated and said, "Maybe...it's me?"

Wei Chi's face froze for a moment, but he quickly covered it up, slowed down his tone, and continued to ask: "Besides him, do you know anyone here?"

Yuan Qi looked aside hesitantly, then shook his head slowly but firmly.

"What's wrong with him? Hit his head?" Wei Yuan wanted to rush up again, but was held back by Gao Qiusuo.

Wei Chi: "City Hospital, Avalon, Airport, Science and Technology Museum, do you have special memories of these?"

Yuan Qi looked at him strangely, then shook his head again.

"It's okay," Wei Chi forced a smile, "I want to have a few words alone with you...Brother, can I?"

Yuan Qi panicked: "Ah? But——"

Wei Chi looked at Shuo Shu, who also looked at him.

After a while, Shuo Shu pulled Yuan Qi who was holding his arm away, pointed to Wei Yuan and said, "This is my cousin, he just came from the countryside, he will stay with you for a while."

Wei Yuan: "Who is from your country—"

Wei Chi: "Wei Yuan, take care of Yuan Qi."

Wei Yuan could only reluctantly say: "Oh..."

Wei Chi and Shuoshu turned and walked towards the hall, Gao Qiusuo and Ji Jingzhe tried to follow, but he stopped them with gestures.

Wei Chi opened the door of the stairwell, let Shuoshu in, and then closed it behind his back: "Say anything, before I hit you."

"You didn't want to hit me." Shuo Shu said expressionlessly.

Wei Chi turned around and punched him on the bridge of the nose.

"Tell me something else."

"I know what you're thinking," Shuo Shu wiped the blood from his nose, "You hit me because you wanted me to hit you, but I won't hit ordinary people."

Sure enough, after hearing this sentence, Wei Chi lowered his fist.

"But you can shoot Yuan Qi, huh? Because his nationality is not Chinese?"

"An innocent college student who got involved by accident - he even gave up his chance to save you."

"I didn't shoot him, we all know that." Shuo Shu said in a stiff tone.

"That's right, you knew he was going to die, and you chose 'no shot', what a noble act." Wei Chi sneered, "Don't tell me you just gave him a pistol/gun on a whim, without any reason. Just like you Suddenly fell in love with him and decided to give him the most unique token of love in the world?"

"I gave him a choice."

"You gave him a choice?" Wei Chi shook his head mockingly, "We didn't give him any choice."

"You're digging into a dead end."

"Don't fucking do Tai Chi with me!" Wei Chi stared into Shuo Shu's eyes, "Why Yuan Qi?"

Shuoshu: "He didn't roll a seven."

"Watch me talk."

Shuo Shu was silent for a long time, during which Wei Chi never let go of his gaze.

"I can't wait to meet the 'architect,'" he concluded. "That's your exact word."

Wei Chi's eyes slowly widened.

"We all know who this 'architect' is, don't we?" Shuo Shu continued, "This guy who designed the city hospital, the university, the library without elevators, the airport with sixteen sides... drew all of these by himself people."

"You—" Wei Chi looked at him in shock, and then suddenly realized, "You heard... that locator! It's not just a locator, is it?"

When he came out of Bajiao Airport, Shuo Shu installed a tracking device on him, Wei Chi guessed this, but...

"That's right." Shuo Shu admitted.

"What else did you hear?"

"It's nothing, the function of the micro-device is unstable," Shuoshu said. "I was just lucky to hear the most important thing."

Wei Chi's expression changed several times, and finally he said painfully: "He——Yuan Qi doesn't know anything."

"I'm skeptical."

"So you specifically pulled him in just to let him die?" A ferocious smile slowly formed. If Wei Yuan Gao Qiusuo outside saw his current expression, he would definitely not believe that this was the Wei Chi they knew. , "Gao Qiusuo, Wei Yuan, Ji Jingzhe... they are all a cover, in order to let me relax my vigilance, Yuan Qi is your target, if he survives this time, what will you do? Take out the same money you gave him. Take the gun and kill him again?"

Shuo Shu remained expressionless: "There is no such possibility."

"What do you mean?"

Shuo Shu sighed, and said slowly: "The gun on the seventh floor only has 7 bullets, even if Yuan Qi throws 6 o'clock, he can't open the exit. So I gave him a gun with 99/[-] bullets. Possibility, he can open the door with this gun too... [-] left, he can at least not starve to death in despair... Or maybe he didn't roll a seven at all... We will never be able Know."

"But you gave him the gun before going up to the seventh floor—"

Shuo Shu interrupted him forcefully: "I knew about guns before I knew about bees, Wei Chi, needless to say you, even if what I describe to us is Wei Yuan's idiot, I can still recognize what kind of gun it is."

Shuo Shu looked at him, and on the skin that suited him well, he pulled a malicious smile: "Wei Chi, the gun that can open the 'door' has six bullets, and there are six of us, so he Why didn't you come out?"

Wei Chi shook slightly.

Shuo Shu: "We have no way to save him, there will always be someone left, unless you can tear a door out of thin air and take him out... Can you?"

"What are you implying?" Wei Chi asked hoarsely.

"Nothing," Shuoshu said.

He turned around and opened the door of the stairwell: "You can blame me for Yuan Qi's death as much as you want, if it makes you feel better. Anyway, I did have a plan to use him, but I didn't expect it so soon."

"I will tell you a special piece of information for free. After Yutu died there, we did ask some interesting things."

Shuoshu went out.

The stairwell was shut and opened again.

Ji Jingzhe walked in.

"It's too late..."

Wei Chi sat on the stairs with his head down.

He said, "I killed Yuan Qi."

"You didn't." Ji Jingzhe walked to his side, rubbed his head, and hugged him into his arms again.

Wei Chi hooked his sleeve with his fingers: "Tell me what happened."

While they were taking the elevator to the seventh floor, Wei Chi secretly wrote on Ji Jingzhe's palm:

—Bring Yuan Qi back.

The moment they left from the seventh floor and their consciousness returned, Ji Jingzhe tore apart the space and returned to the abnormal world.

He hurried to the hall, where they piled supplies for Yuan Qi, but he didn't see anyone.

At the same time, there was a gunshot upstairs——

"He committed suicide."

Ji Jingzhe felt Weichi trembling in his arms.

"He didn't continue to roll the dice, he didn't eat those things, and as soon as we left, he..."

"Why..." Wei Chi choked up.

"I found this where he fell." Ji Jingzhe briefly let go of Wei Chi, and took out a folded piece of paper from his arms.

Wei Chi took the paper and unfolded it.

A chubby two-headed figure stood in the middle, clumsily posing as a hero, and a speech bubble popped out next to his smiling face.

Inside it says:

"Hey! No matter who you are, tell Brother Chi everything you know, or I'll make you look good!"

======

Ten minutes later, several people sat in the staff office on the first floor, and the room was gloomy.

Wei Yuan said sadly: "You mean, Liu Qiang is a skin you used before?"

Shuo Shu corrected: "One identity."

"All right, all right, whatever you say..." Wei Yuan held his head in his hands for a while, then turned to Wei Chi, "Brother... I can't figure it out."

Because the science and technology museum has been cleared, no one else is there.

The hall seemed empty and scary, so everyone came to the office, sat around and asked about Yuan Qi's situation.

Yuan Qi should not be the original Yuan Qi anymore, but it is different from those people who "died" in the previous world. After those people left "those worlds", what they showed was that they forgot the things in the "world", or like Gao Mingxuan's The wife will make some slight changes, only the closest people can vaguely notice, but Yuan Qi is different.

Not only did he forget about "those worlds", he even...he didn't remember Wei Chi, Wei Yuan, and Ji Jingzhe.

Among these people, he only recognizes "Brother Qiang".

It doesn't make sense at all.

If it is said that Yuan Qi has forgotten all the people related to the "world", then it is unreasonable to remember Shuoshu alone. Shuoshu is a person who Yuan Qi experienced after experiencing many worlds with them.

Wei Chi asked, "How did you know...him?"

Yuan Qi's pathetic look of being hurt has not changed, he glanced at Wei Chi weakly, then turned his head to look at Shuoshu, and finally lowered his head: "I can't say."

Wei Chi: "Why?"

Yuan Qi shook his head.

Changed to Shuoshu and asked, "Why didn't you say that?"

Yuan Qi looked at him a little confused: "No... Brother, didn't you let me tell you?"

Shuoshu: "I won't let you tell?"

Yuan Qi: "Didn't you say that once I tell you...you won't look for me anymore?"

Everyone looked at Shuoshu.

Shuo Shu: "You can speak now."

"Really?" Yuan Qi was quite happy, but then turned back to fear, "Then will you still look for me in the future?"

Shuo Shu asked, "What am I looking for you for?"

Yuan Qi: "Then I won't say it! I won't say it!"

Shushu's forehead twitched: "I'm not threatening you, I'm asking you... Don't be afraid, the situation is a bit complicated now, I'll explain it to you later, now, what to ask you, what you answer, we will not hurt you You, I will do what I promise you, okay?"

Yuan Qi: "Oh..."

According to Yuan Qi, he met "Liu Qiang" for the first time last winter.

Yuan Qi is a student of the Academy of Fine Arts. There is only one sick grandfather in his family. He does not have a Chinese registered permanent residence, and his financial future is worrying, so he often takes some small jobs online.

"Liu Qiang" also contacted him through a design website, wanting to buy his design works, but the request was to meet him face-to-face.

They traded several times, and each time "Liu Qiang" agreed on a place, and after getting his design, he was given a large sum of cash, and then asked him to delete the draft, just like an underground party joint.

It's not that Yuan Qi didn't doubt this kind of battle, but after thinking about it, as a small art student, he designed some immature plans that are wild and unconstrained, and they really have nothing to do with illegal and criminal matters.

And Brother Qiang really gave a lot.

Wei Chi: "What did you trade?"

Yuan Qi looked at Shuoshu again, as if he didn't know what to say or not.

Wei Chi didn't make things difficult for him, and said to himself: "Is there an octagonal star airport, a science and technology museum, a library without traffic flow, and a small jumping game?"

Yuan Qi's eyes widened suddenly, and he resentfully said, "Don't you know everything..."

Wei Yuan still didn't hold back, Baba asked: "You really don't remember us?"

Yuan Qi looked at him and shook his head shyly.

"Hush." ​​Ji Jingzhe said suddenly, "Listen."

The crowd quieted down.

Faintly, the cry of a child came from outside, echoing in the empty building space.
