Unknown World, a business hotel in a small town.
The hotel is right on the edge of the town, and Bai Wu has been to the vast world outside this town.
Therefore, there is little point in looking for boundaries, or in proving whether you are like Truman, living in a huge studio.
He knew that the world was vast, vast enough to be called the world.
In Room 209 of the hotel, Bai Wu was browsing a lot of information using a cell phone he stole from a passerby.
"If this world is a tower, then where did these civilizations come from?"
“Is it true that all of humanity’s exploration of the universe is fabricated?”
The person who asked the question was Jing Liu.
Bai Wu shook his head and said:
"That may not be the case. It's just that all of this does not conflict with humans living in the tower. Maybe it just took a form that we don't know about?"
"As for these civilizations, the tall tower has existed for thousands of years, and maybe this tower has also existed for thousands of years. The two towers may have a corresponding relationship."
"And the human civilization in our history has only existed for a few thousand years."
Jing Liu continued to ask questions, asking the same question that Bai Wu had thought of before:
"Then what is the significance of this tower? If the purpose of the tower is to provide a shelter for mankind and to seal the Lord of Distortion, then what about this tower?"
"What does this tower seal? Or what does it protect?"
Bai Wu shook his head:
"No comment. Even if I look at the sky and the earth with my eyes, I can't get any useful information."
Bai Wu casually turned on the TV.
Jing San, Jing Si, Jing Wu, and Jing Liu are all people of the same era.
Before being converted, they all lived in the same era.
So for Jing Liu, the civilization of this world is neither unfamiliar nor familiar.
Because the names of many things have changed, but overall, there is a sense of similarity.
Bai Wu was not trying to experience his past life or kill time.
He has a lot of things to do now. The programs he watches are legal programs and news.
Bai Wu himself was searching for various crimes on the Internet.
Without Zero's help, Bai Wu had a headache.
He knows some operations more or less, but he is only slightly better than ordinary people.
Wanting to hack into the public security system and look up the criminal record of Ten of Spades is undoubtedly a pipe dream.
Of course, Bai Wu still has a way. If he can't be a computer hacker, he can be a physical hacker.
When the search was fruitless and the information in several news reports seemed irrelevant, Bai Wu decided on the simplest way, which was to sneak (break into) somewhere in the dead of night.
His goal now is to find the Ten of Spades.
Jing Liu is very interested in this world, but because he cannot untie himself from Bai Wu, when Bai Wu leaves the hotel, Jing Liu can only leave the hotel as well.
She can escape from the white fog, but once she is too far away from it, her body will become extremely weak and many parts of her body will become liquid and transparent.
It was as if he was returning to the state he was in when he was exiled.
Rather than being exiled in the endless void, it is better to explore the past with the white fog in my current state.
Bai Wu was not sure whether this was the third level well world.
But as he was covered by the distortion, the upper limit of his strength was much higher than the second level, and it could almost be said that there was no limit at all.
Although he can be seen by humans in this world, because his movements are too fast, to humans, Bai Wu has become some kind of high-dimensional creature.
He could move in and out of the crowd effortlessly, at speeds indistinguishable to the human eye.
From the time Bai Wu decided to collect information to the time he finished collecting the information, it took him less than an hour.
Everything still went unnoticed.
The white fog could more or less feel that the distortion of the world seemed to play a balancing role.
If everyone in a world has no abilities, it would be like now, unable to detect monsters moving at high speeds.
Bai Wu returned to the hotel again and simply sorted out the criminal records of recent years that he had collected from the Public Security Bureau not long ago.
Soon he had an idea, Jing Liu asked curiously:
"Even if these records are found, they are all unsolved murders. His criminal ability is very strong, and no one has caught him yet. Do you plan to solve the case?"
Bai Wu shook his head and smiled:
"Solve the case? Sixth sister, you are confused. I come from this world, I have the memories of this world, and since I was a child, Bai Yuan has given me various unsolved cases to analyze."
"Many of these cases, I guess, come from the Ten of Spades."
Jing Liu understood:
"So you just need to find those eucalyptus trees that are similar to the eucalyptus trees you remember from your childhood, and then you can recall the time and location of the next eucalyptus outbreak from your memory?"
"That's right. If you were a time traveler and you happened to know the lottery numbers, would you still earn money honestly?" Bai Wu has found the case.
Just three days later, a murder will occur in the downtown area of Changping City.
Bai Wu remembered that Bai Yuan had told him a lot of details at the time. The bones of the deceased were arranged like a puzzle pattern, and the clues to solving the case had to be pieced together.
It can be said to be extremely cruel.
Jing Liu said:
"Do you remember the details of the stories you heard as a child?"
"It's just the standard equipment of the Survey Corps."
When he was a child, Bai Yuan liked to torture Bai Wu. He would tell Bai Wu all kinds of details of the case while torturing her.
These cases are all real cases.
A small part of it is also related to the Ten of Spades.
There is a special feature in the cases committed by Spade Ten. Like many people killed by Bai Yuan, the criminals are all sinners who cannot be punished by the law for the time being.
At the same time, the criminals will be dissected.
The difference is that Bai Yuan does things cleanly and efficiently without leaving any traces.
The Ten of Spades always leaves clues behind, allowing people to deliberately piece together these clues to find information about the time and place of the next murder.
Bai Wu didn't need to look for it, because he had all the information about the cases committed by Spade Ten over the years in his memory.
The reason for snooping into the police files was just a "verification" because I didn't want to waste time.
He didn't know it back then, but Spade Ten and Bai Yuan had fought each other many times in this world.
Now, I finally understand how boring these two people, one black and one white, are.
…
…
Three days later, at dusk, in the center of Changping City.
A bloody scene was unfolding in the living room of a large flat on the 29th floor of Building 3 in Jiangcheng Yipin Community.
"Hush"
"Don't scream. Your daughter is still sleeping. Let's do an experiment. If you can survive the torture that follows without waking your daughter up, how about that?"
The middle-aged fat man was tied up tightly, with sweat all over his forehead.
The abuser on the other side, the Ten of Spades, was dressed like a chemical engineer.
"Please spare me, please spare me! I can give you anything you want! I have money, I have a lot of money!"
"She'll wake up." Spade Ten actually brought a miniature decibel calculator.
It was placed on the coffee table in the hall together with a miniature hourglass.
The smiley face mask of Spade Ten is different from Bai Yuan's. The smiley face looks more evil.
Bai Wu had seen this mask before. Cain had worn it.
However, at this time, Bai Wu could only hear some sounds from upstairs relying on his extraordinary hearing.
The hunting scene of Ten of Spades is exactly the same as Bai Yuan’s file room.
Long before this prey was hunted, this place was already under Spade Ten's surveillance.
"You're not going to save that man? After all, he's killing innocent people indiscriminately."
"This case is complete in my memory. If I interfere, I will change history."
This is the reason why White Mist does not interfere with the Ten of Spades immediately.
Although the Eye of Prell can mark those who have little influence on cause and effect, these people are not static.
What is certain is that the crucial person is indeed the Ten of Spades.
Another reason is that Jing Liu was wrong. The man downstairs really deserved to die.
The voice of the Ten of Spades came:
"Hold on, for the sake of your beloved daughter, don't wake her up."
"After all, you are both her father and her husband. Can this dual identity be understood as double the love?"
“I just want to witness whether I can really see the miracle of human nature when two identities overlap in one person.”
On the first floor, Jing Liu frowned:
"Humans are really dirty."
Bai Wu said:
"There are good people among humans, so don't generalize. But this guy is indeed the same as the fat guy I defeated before."
"His ex-wife hooked up with someone else in the company, and after the divorce, he took revenge on her daughter."
"In my part of the world, this case caused a sensation at the time. People thought that this kind of person deserved to die and the killer served justice."
Jing Liu was somewhat puzzled:
"Hasn't the Ten of Spades ever killed a good person?"
"Of course I have killed him."
"who?"
"I."
Bai Wu smiled and pointed at himself:
"Am I a good person overall?"
"But don't you think it's strange that he killed you?"
"It's strange, but the year we returned to was not the year I died. If it was that year..."
Bai Wu died at the age of nineteen.
But Bai Wu is still a child now, which means that many years will pass before he will track down the Ten of Spades and then be shot in the head by the Eleven of Spades.
At the same time, on the Bridge of the Dead on Yellow Spring Island, Bai Wu recalled an incident. When the Ten of Spades killed him, he said -
"I wish you a pleasant journey."
This incident has always bothered Bai Wu. His coming to this world was probably not a time travel like in a novel.
Now it seems that the world of the previous life, the tower world, and the well world are closely related.
Bai Wu whispered:
"The time doesn't match, otherwise I might suspect that it wasn't the Ten of Spades who killed me, but myself."
Jing Liu suddenly said:
"Maybe... this is the truth?"
From downstairs came a man's heart-wrenching roar, like a pig being slaughtered.
But Ten of Spades knew very well that at this time, all the neighbors had left.
Bai Wu listened to the roar of the pig being slaughtered, frowned and asked Jing Liu:
"You feel something is wrong?"
"According to what you said, in this world, Bai Yuan and Spade Ten are both ordinary people."
Bai Wu nodded.
Spade Ten and Bai Yuan do have outstanding abilities in this world, but they are all spiritual abilities.
Maybe they have abilities that are different from ordinary people, but they are still within the scope of human beings.
Jing Liu said the key:
"Can an ordinary person allow you to go to another world?"
The white mist shook.
He didn't expect that he had overlooked such a simple logic.
If Ten of Spades and Bai Yuan had their powers taken away in this world, then how did Ten of Spades send himself to the tower world
"The answer is obvious, isn't it?"
Jing Liu smiled and said:
"You said that the greatest feature of this world is that it has no distortion."
"But now, this has changed, and you have also felt it. Now you are like a god in this world."
"Because you are the only twister in the whole world."
"The source of distortion in this world is you."
Bai Wu also reacted:
"So you think... that the Ten of Spades killed me... on my own initiative? I was the mastermind behind the Ten of Spades?"
My future self killed my past self
Jing Liu said:
"Obviously, now that you are familiar with the law of cause and effect, all of this is possible. But how it will happen is up to you."
Time passes by every second.
As the girl's crying sounded, Spade Ten thought that the fat man had failed the challenge.
So the dissection began.
When the girl with a bruised face came out, Ten of Spades made a hushing gesture.
The girl closed the door silently and did not call the police.
That was what happened in the historical case. The girl didn’t call the police until the murderer had walked far away and she even helped clean up the scene.
When it comes to justice and law, the Ten of Spades crosses the line.
But for this girl, the sudden appearance of the Ten of Spades undoubtedly saved her life.
As for whether Spade Ten has never killed any good person other than Bai Wu, Bai Wu doesn't know either.
But what is certain is that the good and evil in the eyes of Bai Yuan and Hei Tao Shi are completely different from the good and evil in the eyes of ordinary people.
When Ten of Spades left, White Mist began to follow Ten of Spades.
Three hundred meters ahead on the highway outside Changping City is a long and secluded cave tunnel.
At the other end of the tunnel is a garbage dump.
Bai Wu appeared directly in front of the garbage truck with Ten of Spades and stopped it with one hand.
At this moment, the Ten of Spades appears as a "?" in Bai Wu's eyes.
At the same time, a note was sent.
He who plays with time must have time to play with. The last person who played with time paid the price.
If you regard time as a living person, he must be a difficult person to get along with. You have opened Pandora's box, but you'd better remember what can be said and what cannot be said.
You can change your future, but you cannot change the future of others. Remember my warning.
Bai Wu understood the last sentence.
The future of Bai Wu is the future after being transformed into the Alpha Shell seven hundred years later.
Therefore, Bai Wu’s future starts from seven hundred years later.
But the future of others is different.
For example, the future of the Ten of Spades seven hundred years ago is calculated from seven hundred years ago, which is now.
He finally met the Ten of Spades.
But what he has to do next is to change his own future, but he cannot change the future of Ten of Spades.
Otherwise, the causal line will experience a huge shock.
After taking a deep breath, Bai Wu smiled:
"Let me introduce myself. My name is Bai Wu."
