Survival Paradox [Infinite]

Wei Chi had a high fever in the middle of the night, and it was hot to the touch. Ji Jingzhe was so anxious that he observed several times and wanted to sneak out, but was stopped by Wei Chi.

Wei Chi outside was still sleeping, and his face was always facing the closet, and the desk lamp was still on. They couldn't confirm whether Wei Chi was awake.

Wei Chi was in a daze of fever, but he was circling the "grandfather paradox" in his mind-you went back in time and killed your young grandfather, and if the grandfather died, there would be no father, and if there was no father, there would be no you, so who killed it? What about grandfather?The paradox comes from: your existence means that your grandfather did not die because of you, so why did you kill your grandfather?

"Time" is the knight of "the law of cause and effect". If you break the time, you must not be able to see yourself in that time and space...

No...the "grandfather paradox" is a theory about time travel...does it have anything to do with the current situation?

Is this Wei Chi outside, Wei Chi from another world, or Wei Chi from another time?

Parallel time and space?

Did he go to the wrong world, or did Wei Chi outside go to the wrong world?

Judging from the strangeness I found in the bedroom... Is it because I went wrong?What about Ji Jingzhe?Did you go wrong with yourself?Or is Ji Jingzhe the Ji Jingzhe of this world?

No, if it was Ji Jingzhe of this world, he would be the same age as Wei Chi outside, right?

...Or, is it possible that this one outside is his brother who is a few years older than him?

Zhou Yingchun and Wei Renjie lied to him?In fact, they had a son long before they had him?

But brothers who are a few years apart, will they look exactly the same?

But this is the most likely, right?

No—no—that was himself.

He was sure.

He had looked at that self in the cat's eyes, and it must be himself.

……

In short, we cannot meet each other.

Even when he was delirious from the fever, he still had such a strong thought: he couldn't meet that Wei Chi.

Whether it is "time travel" or "parallel world", it is not allowed.

Otherwise, something terrible -- something terrible is bound to happen.

That Wei Chi left in the early morning, and the Wei Chi in the cabinet was almost burnt. Ji Jingzhe rushed him to the hospital, and the water temperature dropped after hanging for a long time.

Wei Chi just woke up, before he could say a word, he glanced at his phone, and was about to run outside, Ji Jingzhe was going to be bald, and had no choice but to follow him.

They met Fu Pingan at a coffee shop in the old town.

Fu Ping'an arrived first, still in the same downcast manner, sitting in a dark corner of the coffee shop, without any sense of presence, and Wei Chi looked around twice but didn't see anyone.

It was Ji Jingzhe who saw it first: "It's there."

Wei Chi walked over to Fu Ping'an and sat down, straight to the point, and asked, "What do you mean by 'the school has ghosts'?"

Fu Pingan raised his eyelids and glanced at him, then said slowly, "It means literally."

Just as Ji Jingzhe ordered two glasses of water, he walked over, and when he heard the end of the conversation, he suddenly looked at the two of them with a sharp expression, but neither of them looked at him now.

"Actually, there are basically ghosts in schools." Fu Pingan said, "Many schools are built on cemeteries. This is not an urban legend, it is true. Firstly, the price of cemetery land is cheap, and secondly, the yang energy of students can indeed be restrained. Ghosts, so although there are ghosts in the school, they basically don’t make trouble. Our school happened to be built on the former Lu’er Mountain.”

Ji Jingzhe: "Lu'er Mountain?"

Fu Ping'an: "The mass graves before the founding of the People's Republic of China are very famous in... certain circles."

Ji Jingzhe lowered her voice: "...so your family really catches ghosts?"

Fu Ping'an: "There is this business."

What else did Ji Jingzhe want to ask, Wei Chi held him down and said, "Get to the point."

Fu Pingan: "Generally speaking, a 'ghost' is a remnant of some kind of spirit body. In fact, spirit bodies are everywhere around us, but they won't affect living people until they reach a certain level..."

At this time, the waiter came over with the prepared drink, two glasses of iced lemonade.Wei Chi still had a low-grade fever and his throat was very dry. He reached out to grab the cup, but Ji Jingzhe patted him and handed him a glass of plain water: "You drink this."

Wei Chi took the water and drank it without any other reaction, and said to Fu Pingan with strange eyes, "Go on."

"Oh, oh...thank you." Fu Ping'an took the lemonade that Ji Jingzhe pushed him, and said, "But our school is a big killer."

"And, it just appeared."

As he said that, Fu Ping'an suddenly took out a handful of copper coins with round square holes and dark yellow color, which looked quite old. He threw them on the table, and then spread out the heavy ones one by one. People are dazzled, which is quite different from his usual slow-moving appearance.He moved while explaining: "This is the third hexagram I have divination in the past two days, and the result is the same as the first two hexagrams - I encountered a ghost the day before yesterday, and this ghost belongs to water. Although there is no life, it is a big murderer. I stayed at school the day before yesterday , you suddenly became abnormal again, probably the "ghost bumping" happened at that time."

Ji Jingzhe asked: "What's abnormal?"

At the same time, Wei Chi asked, "Did I hit a ghost?"

Fu Pingan looked at Wei Chi and said, "What did you see and what did you remember, while everyone else forgot."

Wei Chi remembered how he hesitated when he asked him if he remembered Jiang Shurao, and narrowed his eyes: "So do you remember Jiang Shurao and the others?"

Unexpectedly, Fu Pingan shook his head: "I don't remember."

Wei Chi was puzzled: "But what you said just now meant what I saw and remembered, not what I imagined? Do you think it's not me who has the problem, but someone else?"

Fu Pingan: "That's how I feel now."

Wei Chi: "Why?"

"Because it's not you that's the problem, it's someone else. And weird things do exist—none of us can tell where 'Liang Bai Kai' is blaming recently but still think he's weird, and my deskmate, the pile of things left behind Unclaimed stuff... there must be something wrong with one of us, and I'm currently inclined to think-you're the only one sober."

"Then..." Wei Chi's heart moved, and he said, "Then is it possible for me... to see things that don't belong to this world after bumping into this ghost?"

Fu Pingan: "After hitting a ghost, everything is possible."

Wei Chi: "Then..."

Ji Jingzhe asked: "Then what should I do?"

Fu Pingan said: "The culprit must be expelled, and its interference will disappear. Moreover, if the spirit interferes with the human world, it cannot stay no matter what."

Wei Chi: "Who will drive away?"

Fu Pingan: "Me."

"?" Ji Jingzhe opened his eyes wide, "You? Did I hear you right? Are you still your father, grandpa or grandma?"

"There is no one in my family." Fu Pingan sighed for no reason, "I am the head of this generation of the Fu family."

Ji Jingzhe: "Are you reliable?"

Fu Ping'an: "It's more reliable than all the strangers you can find."

Ji Jingzhe was full of disbelief, but Wei Chi said, "Then when?"

"The stronger the yang energy, the weaker the ghost." Fu Ping'an said, "We have to wait for the weekdays, after the students have all arrived at school."

Before this, Wei Chi was a [-]% materialist, and science and logic were the truths he firmly believed in, but now, he suddenly felt that if ghosts and gods could solve this matter, they would save him from that huge despair and fear. If you come out, then...it's not too late.

A few people stayed in the coffee shop until dinner time. When it was time to say goodbye, Wei Chi suddenly remembered that he ran away from home in a hurry and didn't bring his ID card or student card.

He asked Fu Pingan: "Can you take us in for a night?"

"Yes." Fu Pingan didn't even ask the reason, "Anyway, there is no one in my house."

Wei Chi and Ji Jingzhe followed Fu Pingan to his house.

It is a residential building in the old city, a small seven-story building without an elevator, and Fu Ping'an's home is on the third floor.It looks like an ordinary house from the outside, but when you walk in, you find that this house of metaphysics is really different from ordinary people.

It's completely... completely empty.

"Wow..." Ji Jingzhe looked at the empty living room with only two small benches, and blurted out, "I thought it was very profitable to show people Feng Shui."

"I can't help it. It was fine when my father was around. After he left, I couldn't get a job." Fu Pingan was very calm, walked into the kitchen slowly, took a rag to wipe the small bench, and said, "sit down."

Ji Jingzhe was not polite either, he sat down firmly and asked again: "Why can't you get a job? Aren't you the head?"

Fu Ping'an: "You treat the labor law as a display? Do you know that child labor is breaking the law?"

Ji Jingzhe: "The labor law is so awesome? Can you even manage this?"

Fu Pingan: "Isn't that right? We are all citizens of the Republic, and we must abide by the law!"

Fu Ping'an usually can't make a boring fart in school with eight sticks, but now he talks to Ji Jingzhe and shows a little carefree posture, Wei Chi feels that his heart is gradually falling back to reality.

The next day, that is, Sunday, Fu Ping'an searched for ancient books in the two large wooden boxes in the bedroom, and recited one by one. If it's safe and troublesome, he can only accompany him.

Fu Pingan was reading inside, so he and Wei Chi went outside to search for information. After a whole day of research, they only found a ghost story in the post bar, saying that a school girl on a local mountain (thick code) died 40 years ago, and the murderer He was a math teacher who peeped in the women's bathroom every day. When he intended to molested a female student, the female student yelled loudly. Just as the leader was inspecting, he was too nervous and choked the female student to death. Both of the female student's parents died, and there was only one Grandma passed away not long after.No one denounced it, and the school suppressed the matter and refused to report it. The math teacher was still teaching there, and everyone who knew about it was beaten and covered.Seeing that this incident was about to pass, the teacher's body was found in the downstream drain a few months later, with his waist stuck in the drain, unable to get out or get in. It was as if he had been directly taken from the school sewer rushed over.

"Chi Chi, do you think this looks like it?"

Wei Chi looked at it for a long time and had some reservations. This style of writing looks too much like an urban ghost story.

Soon it will be evening and it’s time to go back to school.

Wei Chi now feels a little guilty when he thinks about his experiences at school, but going home is even more impossible. He can only hope that after expelling the water ghost, life can return to normal.

The people who "disappeared" last week are still missing, and Jiang Shurao's things are gone.Wei Chi looked at the empty desks and chairs in the front seat, and his heartbeat was abnormal throughout the evening study.

After returning to the dormitory, Wei Chi posted a sleeping charm given by Fu Pingan, and slept until dawn.

Then, under the premise of abiding by the school rules and disciplines, he began to "squat on the toilet" every recess.

Fu Ping'an said that he was "the only one sober" and the only one who "had run into a ghost". He must be the key. If the ghost came to him once, it would come to him the second time.

When he was squatting inside, he would keep talking to Ji Jingzhe, and if something went wrong, Ji Jingzhe and Fu Ping'an would rush in.

But this day his legs were numb from squatting, but he got nothing.
