What Zhou Ziheng said made Xia Xiqing doubt the connection between the two rooms. Before, he simply thought that they were related to the same group, but now it seems that they are not.

"Is your room blue wallpaper, with a bed, a black wardrobe, a small round table with a radio on a square rug, and a walnut desk?"

Zhou Ziheng, who was in another room, gave an affirmative answer, "That's right, there is a laptop in the middle of the desk, a desk lamp with a white lampshade on the left, and three stacked books. Something that is now a picture frame."

Xia Xiqing looked at his desk, and the furnishings on it were exactly the same as what Zhou Ziheng described.

"Try to turn on the computer?" Xia Xiqing started his notebook, and after a short boot time, a line of words appeared on the screen.

"A password is required to enter."

What Zhou Ziheng saw was the same as what he saw.

"What's your username?" Xia Xiqing stared at the screen and asked.

"love1023."

Sure enough, exactly the same.

There were too many doubts, Xia Xiqing sat back on the chair, his eyes shifted from the laptop interface to the photo frame just now, and he who had been concentrating on other places realized that the clothes of the couple in the photo were also blue. color and red.

He looked down at his dark blue shirt, thought of the outfits of the four of them, and immediately understood the program crew's intentions. It's still the old routine of the previous episode, playing the role in any room.

But in this way, both he and Zhou Ziheng played the role of the male lead in the story, what is the purpose of this repetition. Thinking of this, all the unreasonable things that happened before resurfaced again.

After the password is found, the drawer on his side is opened first, and then the drawer on Zhou Ziheng's side can be opened. It was he who put the photo album on the upper right corner of the table first, and Zhou Ziheng's photo album suddenly appeared.

This is to use these props to imply the sequence of the two people in time sequence!

"Zhou Ziheng," Xia Xiqing slid the mouse and looked at the time displayed in the lower left corner of the laptop lock screen, "What time is it on your side?"

"13:10"

The blue light from the screen shone on Xia Xiqing's pupils, and the glowing white numbers in the lower left corner stopped exactly at 13:00.

"I'm ten minutes ahead of you..."

Is this the plot of time travel? Xia Xiqing immediately realized why the first book on the table was "Chaos Science", referring to the contents of the previous hero's diary.

Could it be that he traveled through time and space in order to save the heroine?

Although this idea is big, it is not completely unfounded. Xia Xiqing picked up the diary again. The cover on it was so old that it almost fell off. And the cover has no sense of design at all, there is only a big Arabic number 1, Xia Xiqing flipped through the diary again, and it was still the same content.

He decided to discuss the existing clues with Zhou Ziheng.

"Zhou Ziheng, I guess the plot is like this. Both of us are acting as the male protagonist. The male protagonist felt guilty because his girlfriend died, and then he used some method to travel through time and space, returning to before his girlfriend had a heart attack. So there is a time gap between the two of us."

"Then you mean, you are ten minutes earlier in time, so you are the one before the death of your girlfriend? But if this is the case, why is there a record of the heroine's death in your diary? Since If you travel back, the heroine should be able to be saved, right?"

Yes, this is a bug. The diary should be the hero's memory archive. If it clearly states that the heroine died, it means that the heroine died at 13:00. Both of them are at the time point after the death of the heroine.

Xia Xiqing, who lost his train of thought, frowned and pondered for a while, and walked to the round table with the radio on, "This story can only find a complete plot if the lines of the male and female protagonists are unified. Let's talk in person."

"Well. Let's stop first." Zhou Ziheng suddenly seemed to remember something, "Then...shall we make an appointment for the second connection? What if there are new clues?"

Zhou Ziheng didn't want to hang up with Xia Xiqing, he wanted to chat for a while more privately, but he also knew very well that it is impossible for the plot line to be complete if it circles around the same character.

Xia Xi readily agreed, "Well, then half an hour later." After finishing speaking, he turned the blue **** to the bottom, and there were two knobs next to it. Select the **** marked 0 and turn it on.

As he expected, there was a noisy background sound after unscrewing, he sighed and stood up. It should have been known that the signal communication is not so simple, Xia Xiqing only hopes that the two who play the "girlfriend" can communicate with the "boyfriend" earlier and don't make him wait too long.

He returned to the desk with the most clues. Xia Xiqing, who had been immersed in the plot setting before, suddenly found that there seemed to be a strangely shaped shadow on the automatically lit lampshade.

It looks like a projection of a puzzle. He tried to take off the lampshade, but found it was not so easy, so he had to reach out to touch the incandescent light bulb hidden inside, only to find that there was indeed a puzzle piece stuck on it. Xia Xiqing turned his head, and his eyes fell on the blank area behind the door, as if it could be spliced ​​into the previous one. He turned the puzzle over and unexpectedly found that there was a sentence written on the back.

The characters were too small, Xia Xiqing stared at the puzzle and tried hard to identify them.

[Didn't you keep clamoring to see the password of my computer? I wrote the password on the greeting card. ]

The password for the computer is on the greeting card?

Xia Xiqing turned to the greeting card and read the words in the card again.

[The moment I met you was the beginning of the big bang, every particle left me and flew towards you, and after that tiniest moment, the universe was truly born. ]

Apart from this text, the only number on the card is the birthday, October 23rd. Intuition told him that the password could not be so simple, not to mention the birthday had already appeared on the account, but Xia Xiqing tried it anyway, and it was wrong.

At this time, the background noise of the radio was suddenly interrupted, and a girl's voice came.

"Hello? Are you Ziheng or Xiqing?"

It was Ruan Xiao's voice, and the signal was finally connected. Xia Xiqing responded immediately, "I am Xia Xiqing, Ruan Xiao. To make a long story short, you should already know that you are playing the role of girlfriend by now."

"Well, but besides me, Si Rui should be too."

"So you have been in contact with Si Rui just now?" Xia Xiqing found a pen, opened the blank part of the diary, and wanted to write down the effective information from Ruan Xiao's mouth, "Did you find anything, such as time difference, or identity? difference?"

"How should I tell you?" Ruan Xiao seemed to be in a bit of a dilemma, "Although I found a schedule book in the room that recorded events, some events were written on it, but there were many doubts, and I couldn't believe what was written on it. The incident is not real."

Xia Xiqing could hear that Ruan Xiao was a little flustered. To be honest, he was a little surprised. Ruan Xiao was always calm and smart, with clear thinking. Even she felt flustered, which meant that the plot this time was really difficult. Can't believe it?"

"Because of the clues found by Si Rui, the events recorded in it are completely different from mine. This is very strange. If we are both 'girlfriends', shouldn't it be the same chain of events?"

So that's the case, Xia Xiqing asked, "What if you are the 'heroines' of different time and space?"

Ruan Xiao was silent.

"I saw a book about "Chaos" in the room, which talked about the butterfly effect. When you make a choice and change at a certain point in time, it may affect the subsequent series of events. If this The script includes the assumption of parallel time and space, and it actually makes sense that you have different chains of events."

Speaking of this, Xia Xiqing suddenly thought that if Ruan Xiao and himself were in the same time and space, the chain of events should overlap, especially the ending. This was a way for him to verify the degree of time-space matching.

"Ruan Xiao, what event did you record in your schedule?" Xia Xiqing thought about the existence of a killer in this game, so in order to dispel Ruan Xiao's defense against him, he first said it himself, "My side is in the form of a diary." It’s recorded, I won’t talk about the previous love story, let’s talk about what happened on May 20, 2019. The boyfriend and his girlfriend quarreled, and the girlfriend went to the train station in anger to go back to her parents’ house. He died of a heart attack at the station."

"Heart attack..."

"Well, this is what I wrote in my diary, what about you? What is your chain of events?"

Ruan Xiao was silent for a while, and then said, "It's similar to you, the heroine died in the end."

Xia Xiqing felt that there was something wrong with Ruan Xiao's tone, but he couldn't describe what was wrong, just when he felt strange, Ruan Xiao asked again, "Xi Qing, based on the clues you found now, did the hero go out? "

This question was asked endlessly, and Xia Xiqing didn't understand Ruan Xiao's implication, "I don't know, because I don't have enough clues right now, maybe the male protagonist also went out after turning off the phone."

"Okay." There was a voice of rummaging through Ruan Xiao's other end, and then she spoke again, "There are two blue knobs and one red **** on the radio on my side. Are you the opposite of me?"

"That's right, your red **** has a zero under it."

"You too." Ruan Xiao replied, "This should show that we are compatible."

"The bottom of our **** is 0, and the bottom of Zhou Ziheng and Shang Sirui's knobs is not marked. The program group's distinction should be for the purpose of pair matching." But Xia Xiqing felt the uncertainty in Ruan Xiao's words, otherwise she would not use it. “…that’s right” expressions.

"What time is it displayed in your room?" As soon as I asked this sentence, there was a noise from the radio. Ruan Xiao unilaterally cut off the signal.

Why is she doing this?

Could it be that what she said made her suspicious? A real killer will not easily disclose his information to the other party, because they can't tell which information will reveal their identity, Ruan Xiao still doesn't understand this.

Xia Xiqing felt strange. He walked to the radio and seemed to turn on the button of Shang Sirui, but there was still a lot of noise, and he turned the button of Zhou Ziheng again.

"Are you here..." He murmured almost in a low voice, but he didn't expect to receive a response.

"Yes." Zhou Ziheng's voice was decisive and steady.

Xia Xiqing was a little surprised, "Have you been waiting for me?"

"Half an hour has already passed." Zhou Ziheng paused, then brought the subject back, "Did you get any news just now?"

"There is no useful news." Xia Xiqing did not intend to share Ruan Xiao's anomaly with Zhou Ziheng. This time the killer could be anyone but himself, including Zhou Ziheng. Now I am at a loss, if my own rhetoric causes others to misjudge, the consequences of voting will be unimaginable.

"Is your laptop open?"

When Zhou Ziheng mentioned this, Xia Xiqing remembered the half-solved password, "No, it said the password was on the greeting card."

"You enter 1043."

As soon as he sat back in front of the computer, Xia Xiqing heard Zhou Ziheng say the laptop password directly. If it was said by someone else, Xia Xiqing would still be skeptical, but what Zhou Ziheng said must have been verified to be very accurate.

Type these four numbers on the keyboard and hit enter. Sure enough, the password of the notebook was unlocked.

"You deduced it from the sentence on the greeting card?"

"Yeah." Zhou Ziheng explained to him, "From the first time I saw this sentence, I felt that there should be a hidden clue. First, I compared the encounter to a big bang, and then said that the universe was born, and then contacted the previous desk. No matter how you look at it, the second book on the Internet is related to the origin of the universe."

Xia Xiqing picked up the second book at hand and turned to page 610, "That's it... Zhou Xueba, please explain to me."

Hearing Xia Xiqing's light and light voice, it seemed to be coquettish, more like teasing, Zhou Ziheng cleared his throat, and tried to explain the origin of the universe to him, "In fact, there are many different schools of thought in the physics world about the origin of the universe. Explosion theory is one of the more accepted ones. Scientists have divided the big bang into several stages, and I will not elaborate on it. There is a special stage, which is 10 minus 43 seconds after the start of the big bang. In this stage, the universe emerges from the background of quantum fluctuations and begins to exist independently, so this time also becomes the time point of the birth of the universe.”

It turned out to be like this.

In fact, while Zhou Ziheng was explaining, Xia Xiqing had already turned to that page of the Big Bang Theory and found the line with data.

However, Xia Xiqing, who had listened carefully to the science popularization, still couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips. Whenever Zhou Ziheng talks about these scientific theories with extremely high thresholds, he seems to be a different person. He is no longer a popular star, nor is he that innocent and upright boy. The whole person becomes rational and gentle, which makes people feel a sense of admiration. This feeling may be derived from the grafting of human beings' natural awe of science, which transfers emotions from science to people who explain and explore science.

If it wasn't because he was recording a program, Xia Xiqing really wanted to say something to Zhou Ziheng inappropriately.

[I have already fantasized about the scene where you explain physics knowledge to me while sleeping with me. ]

The cold hypothesis far away from the light years, close enough to the hot body temperature of the skin. The two kinds of "explosions" in extreme opposition create an incomparably fragrant nebula.

People always say that men who engage in art are very sexy. Why does Xia Xiqing think that men who engage in science are truly sexy?

Perhaps, extreme rationality and extreme sensibility are the same thing on a certain level.

"What's wrong? Did you untie it?"

"Oh, it's on." Xia Xiqing responded, and couldn't help laughing at himself when he thought of Xiao Xiang just now. The computer desktop was still the photo taken by the beach.

Suddenly, he saw a folder on the desktop named [2 Memory Archive]

He opened the folder in doubt, and found that it contained an exe executable program. Xia Xiqing clicked Run with the mentality of giving it a try, but the computer screen turned black.

"... My computer screen is black." Just like everyone who encounters a black screen will do, Xia Xiqing first subconsciously pressed the power button, and then slammed the laptop screen shut after no response.

At this time, he suddenly discovered that there was a number - 2 pasted on the case of the notebook.

He quickly thought of the diary just now, with a number 1 on the cover. There must be an implied relationship in these figures.

"Is it all right now? Why is the screen black."

Xia Xiqing turned on the laptop again and found that the computer seemed to have restarted.

"Wait a minute, I will re-enter the password."

Just as he finished typing the four numbers 1043 and was about to hit the enter key with his fingers, he suddenly noticed an abnormality, his fingers stopped in mid-air.

The time on the laptop lock screen has changed, to be precise, it is back to 12:30.

It's all so weird, what does it mean to go backwards in time? Xia Xiqing clicked Enter, and the desktop was the same as it was a few minutes ago, but when he clicked on the folder named [2 Memory Archive], he found a new txt file with a sentence written in it.

[Obviously we've been together for so long, but she still doesn't believe me, the bombardment of phone calls is simply unreasonable. I want to be alone, and no one bothers me. ]

The cursor stays on the last word. Xia Xiqing suddenly discovered that not only was the time advanced, but also her boyfriend had not received the notice of his girlfriend's death at this time!

He stared at the names of the folders, without opening his mouth for a long time. The clue marked No. 2 and the clue marked No. 1 are not the same event, and the events are also different.

Ruan Xiao also revealed a piece of information just now, Shang Sirui and her event chain are not the same, that is to say, the clues in their hands are not the same number!

"Is there a number on the cover of your previous diary?"

Zhou Ziheng hummed, "There are also numbers on the laptop."

Sure enough.

According to this reasoning, if you find the clues with the same number and integrate the memory archives of the hero and heroine, you can get a complete plot line.

But Ruan Xiao's attitude was not clear, Xia Xiqing didn't want to risk his clues, so he thought of Shang Sirui who hadn't contacted him yet. Logically speaking, since Shang Sirui has been a killer once, it is unlikely that he will go undercover again. But there are no absolutes in the world, especially such a perverted program group.

In any case, he had to communicate with Shang Sirui.

"Ziheng."

Every time Xia Xiqing called him that, Zhou Ziheng was not used to it, but he was also a little indescribably happy, as if he was being flattered. He couldn't help but become gentle in his answer, "Well, what's the matter?"

"I may temporarily disconnect our signal now. I want to go to Shang Sirui, that's fine." In fact, Xia Xiqing didn't need to ask Zhou Ziheng's consent, he could just disconnect directly, but this would affect his performance in the program. Angel's character design, secondly... I don't know why, but he really feels that Zhou Ziheng is a bit sorry for doing so.

Zhou Ziheng's voice changed, the previous gentleness was gone, and it became dull and dull.

"There's nothing wrong with it, and it's not the first time."

The author has something to say: Director: Two handsome guys, there is a limit to your flirting. Zhou Ziheng, do you dare to be more obvious about your jealousy?

It's really not easy for Xia Xiqing to win this round. The only way to communicate with each other is by calling, and he can't see the clues in other rooms.

PS: I modified the previous chapter, which is the labels of the two knobs of the same color on the radio. I wrote P and N before. I lost my train of thought (to put it bluntly, it’s not just past and now) 233, so I canceled the letter labels, and now there are two knobs of the same color, one marked with 0 and the other without anything, so as to distinguish them.
