A ghost storyteller can lose his life but cannot lose his job

Chapter 50 Time Entry: [Triple]!
“These bodies…who put them here?”

Seeing these three bodies neatly laid out on the bed, it seemed that they must be the same person judging by their body shapes.

The team doctor made a judgment and looked at Zhong Xie: "Are these the vice-captains?"

"It seems so." Zhong Xie nodded, "Someone has placed these bodies here in advance for us."

He thought for a moment and said, “It should be me.”

Zhong Xie looked at this small room, memorized the general situation of the room, and at the same time had a deeper understanding of the rules of the entire time ghost story.

He had begun to feel strange from the beginning, wondering why the "multiverse" gathering he most anticipated had never appeared.

It was obvious that Zhong Xie was expecting a scene where "Seven Bells were in the same frame" and they consulted each other on profound subjects such as "the proportion of weird talk entries", "Kust tune teaching" and "black goat body art", but it did not happen.

So far, no two identical people have ever met each other; only dead objects such as corpses can encounter each other at the same time.

Zhong Xie was very sure that there must be Zhong Xie from other timelines existing in this strange story, and this was not his hallucination.

Some of them are indeed coincidences, while others are intentional.

He also confirmed that the Zhong Xie in these other timelines were also looking forward to "seven Zhongs in the same frame", but never succeeded.

Now these three headless time machines undoubtedly show that they do exist and can indeed help him in this way, but they cannot actually appear in front of him.

They exist, but I cannot see them.

At the same time, I can only interact with characters in one timeline. For example, if Jiuyaodi is by my side now, then there will not be another Jiuyaodi traveling through time and space to come to me.

Even if it really appears in front of me, I can't see it or interact with it.

That's why, when they arrived at Tuesday's villa in the headless time machine, they did not see their former selves.

If they could see it, the team doctor and Jiu Yaodi would probably stop their past selves from entering the villa, because this could save the deputy captain's life.

Unfortunately, this is not possible. Both parties are on the same timeline but cannot interact.

They can only take the guns from the car and return to the Hexagonal Nest to deal with the ghost story man instead of stopping their past selves.

"Is it you? That's right. The time rules of this place cannot tolerate the same people appearing in the same timeline, so we can't see it." Jiu Yaodi then smiled, "Simply put, it's because it's not strong enough to handle more complex time puzzles."

Zhong Xie was puzzled: "What are the time rules of this place? From what you said, there are many kinds of time rules? If that fat guy upgrades, I might meet myself in another timeline?"

The ninth brother nodded and said yes:
"Of course, different ghost stories have different rules of time and follow different principles."

"Some ghost stories follow the 'Grandmother Paradox'. You can never go back to the past and kill your grandmother because its timeline is a single process and cause and effect are connected. Some ghost stories follow the 'multiverse' theory of time and space. You can go back to the past and kill your grandmother, but you will not disappear, because it is you in that time and space who disappears, which has nothing to do with you."

Zhong Xie was shocked: "Is this possible? Can time, the most basic operating rule, have so many different rules? And they contradict each other."

This is equivalent to different views of time and space in different works, which is acceptable because different authors have different stories and different understandings, but the view of time and space in the same work changes from one moment to another...

Can you still justify yourself?
"Why not? It's just a ghost story. They have different understandings of 'time'. Therefore, when they use their own rules to explain 'time', the actual effects displayed are also different." Jiu Yaodi didn't think there was anything wrong with this.

Explanation.

Explanation.

Suddenly, Zhong Xie felt that his understanding of ghost stories was refreshed by the word "explanation".

When they were rescued by the army, the guide said that the strange story was a strange story that needed to be "explained".

Now Jiuyaodi said again that when the same type of ghost stories "explain" a certain concept, they have different understandings of the concept, which will lead to different actual effects.

No, are you ghost stories really so idealistic?
You want to distort the rules of the world according to your own understanding, right?
Zhong Xie didn't know what to say. He just felt that the world seemed even crazier than when he was mentally ill.

But it is not pure insanity. It is the kind of insanity that hides chaotic logic under a normal appearance.

"How do you know so much?" The team doctor looked at Jiuyaodi. He trusted Jiuyaodi quite a bit, but sometimes he still felt that this guy hid too many secrets and had too many secrets.

Jiu Yaodi shrugged: "I heard it from others. Don't ask about it. Don't get entangled by those people. It will be troublesome if you get entangled."

The team doctor didn't say anything after hearing this. He removed the lock on his gun, loaded the bullet and quickly calibrated it: "Are we going to kill that ghost storyteller directly now? If we kill him, can we go back to the time when the deputy captain was still alive?"

"It should be possible." Zhong Xie himself was not sure, but he would try his best to do it.

After all, the time machine was used for quite some time, and the deputy captain made a great contribution.

Zhong Xie continued, "Let's go find teammates at other times first. Jiuyao, you and the team doctor will be in a group. We will each bring our guns. When we feel it's ready, we'll gather on Wednesday."

"Okay." Jiuyaodi worked with Zhong Xie and understood the principles of Zhong Xie's action plan, so he got on the bed and sat on the time machine, calling the team doctor over, "Let's go find someone."

The team doctor took one look at the headless body and felt like he was half crazy too.

A headless time machine, a corpse traveling through time and space, and this time machine belongs to the deputy captain he is familiar with...

From the very beginning, he had a feeling that "the world has gone crazy after all". Since he became a ghost story, he has seen many strange things, but this time is definitely the most abstract one.

I sincerely hope there won’t be a next time.

Both the guide and Jiuyao looked as if they were already used to it. They looked at the three time machines on the bed and didn't even think of complaining. They just got in and drove.

This was the most absurd scene he felt, as if he was the only normal person in the world.

Zhong Xie didn't care what others thought. He just went straight to look for his teammates. Those people might also be trapped in different cycles, and Thursday and Friday might be high-incidence areas.

Wednesday, Lin Youlan.

She was trapped in a two-day cycle of Wednesday and Thursday. There were many footprints and papers in the room, but she probably judged the surrounding situation, so when Zhong Xie found her, she was practicing hammer techniques in the room.

But she did not do nothing. She marked many rooms, and Zhong Xie found her based on the marks.

"The captain and the man with a knife were on Tuesday. They were trapped on Tuesday and Wednesday. Two other team members seemed to be trapped on Thursday and Friday. I roughly know their range of activities." Lin Youlan was in the middle date and basically acted as a transit station. She alone connected the movements of four people.

Zhong Xie nodded and made room for Lin Youlan on his back: "Baby Face and the team doctor went to find them." The internal design of this hexagonal nest was difficult to escape from. It was either a seven-day cycle or a two-day cycle. The fat man also deliberately scattered papers with his footprints on them, just to lure the people trapped inside to study the time rules here.

It’s okay if you don’t study it, but if you do, there is a high probability that you will be infected.

Few people can think of the abstract time concept of "yesterday's yesterday is today" in advance, so Lin Youlan and others were all caught in the trap without exception.

According to Lin Youlan, they tried to find the real body of the ghost in the hexagonal nest, and they encountered the fat man several times.

However, the fat man didn't give them any chance to get close to him. He basically just left a piece of footprint paper and ran away, just like the substitute technique in ninjutsu.

Faced with such an opponent, they were naturally helpless.

"So there are still two unknown people? Are the deputy captain and the one with the camera missing?" Lin Youlan calculated the current number of missing people.

Zhong Xie patted the deputy captain's stiff chest: "The deputy captain is here."

Lin Youlan suddenly realized something. She looked at Zhong Xie's back, then at the hammer in her hand. She then used the wire on the hammer to weave several positions, and then put them around the deputy captain's limbs. She was even considerate enough to make a throttle lever for Zhong Xie who was in the main driver's seat.

Just push the throttle lever and the footprint paper will be printed at the foot of the time machine by a simple mechanical structure.

"Okay, you still understand me." Zhong Xie's face showed joy, but the last time he traveled through time, he used a headless corpse. This time it was his turn to use the time machine, so he carried the entire time machine device on his back and took Lin Youlan, the exploded corpse and the headless corpse with him to travel through time.

Next, they circled the hexagonal nest for two weeks, finding the captain and Shen Junyi in turn. On Tuesday, Zhong Xie walked back to Monday by himself, solemnly handed the gun to the mentally confused deputy captain, and highly praised his contribution to this strange story.

This time they didn’t bring the headless time machine, so Zhong Xie was able to find the deputy captain alive on this day.

However, the deputy captain did not appreciate it. He just left with his gun, and no one knew who he was going to settle the score with.

Zhong Xie could guess what would happen next. The deputy captain would not be able to find too many enemies in the Hexagonal Nest because it was Monday and the enemies were likely hiding in the cycle of Saturday and Sunday.

Once he has thought it through, he will transform into a headless time machine and wait for the next Zhong Xie.

Afterwards, Zhong Xie was very considerate and completed the words “little expert in selling guns” on the sticky note. He had been looking forward to doing this for a long time and finally he could do it.

But he didn't write more, as he didn't intend to tell all the secrets.

Anyway, the timeline of the past has stabilized and he can find a solution. Is he still afraid that his original self can't think of a solution?

But now Zhong Xie is a little worried that it will affect the past, causing the children's hot glue gun he got to be inexplicably recycled by "time" as a bug. That would be really miserable.

After doing all this, he stepped back into yesterday, and now his yesterday was Tuesday.

Although he was stuck in a new two-day loop, his headless time machine docked on Tuesday, allowing him to easily break the loop and arrive on Wednesday to wait for the main force.

One day later, they completed the assembly of all members and also collected seven headless time machines, which were lined up in a majestic manner.

After explaining the specific situation, five teams went to arrest the fat man from Monday to Friday. With guns, they could naturally get twice the result with half the effort.

Except for the team leader, everyone else worked in groups of two, and successfully forced the ghost story teller into a cycle of Thursday and Friday. Then, like sharks smelling blood, each team gathered in these two days to encircle and suppress the ghost story teller.

Even the Rule Ghost Story itself cannot escape the restrictions of the rules, let alone the Ghost Story Man who has retraced back to yesterday twice in a row.

There are only him and the zombies in the entire hexagonal nest. The zombies formed by him cannot be used as a time machine, and he never considered that he would be forced to this point.

After arresting the fat man, Zhong Xie, who had interrogated him to no avail, thoughtfully tailored a method of execution for him.

First, prepare a closed room, clear out all items in the room, and cover the walls, floor, and ceiling with paper printed with footprints.

Jiuyaodi outside kept the room in a zero-gravity state at all times, and then controlled the fat man to float in the center of the room, making it impossible for him to escape by leaving footprints.

Two days later, Jiuyaodi released gravity, allowing the fat man to touch the footprints and go back to yesterday. However, he also spent yesterday in the cell, and touching the footprints again formed a perfect two-day cycle.

If you release gravity at this time, it will naturally start an infinite loop.

I fell on the footprints, and returned to yesterday; I was in the air yesterday, and fell on the footprints again, and returned to today; today I was in the air, and fell on the footprints again...

It simply took two days for Zhong Xie and Jiu Yaodi to successfully complete an eternal time prison, trapping the fat man forever in these two days.

"Things that play with time will eventually be punished by time."

Zhong Xie felt that what he said at that time was very good, so he had to put a period to this sentence.

But he missed one thing.

The time that the ghost storyteller can control the ghost story is limited, and the ghost story will be revived soon. The revived ghost story will finally break away from the fat man's body and regain its freedom.

And Kuster showed his irreplaceable role. The Time Ghost did not pay too much attention to them who were trapped in the hexagonal nest. He just silently smoothed the traces of time and disappeared here.

Except the fat guy.

His time cage has been reinforced by ghost stories, and he will probably fall into the depths of the Hexagonal Nest until he dies of old age.

"It's finally out."

Zhong Xie dismantled the boundary door of the hexagonal nest, walked out of the underground, and breathed the first fresh air in such a long time.

He touched the small bottle in his pocket, which was something Time Tales had put in there after he had put things right.

According to Kuster, there was a note in the bottle.

This is the incompatible entry that Time Tales ejected when it failed to climb the stairs, and it saved it.

A time-related entry with a simple and powerful effect. It is an entry that Time Tales wants to possess even though it knows it is incompatible.

After failing to climb the stairs, it could not be used, so it was handed over to Zhong Xie who successfully cleared the court.

[Black Triad (Energy)]: After completing three attacks, the player will go back in time, causing a transition to trigger an additional attack (does not occupy any state and the attack does not count).

　I checked it in the afternoon and found two small bugs. Now they should be sorted out. At least my logic is smooth. However, this small copy is not well written, so I will not write the time logic in detail in the main text of this chapter to avoid water writing. It is better to finish it early. Sorry, I was delayed by this matter for a long time and the update is late. I will try not to touch this topic next time. It is really average and slows down the pace. Today's update is almost 8,000, at least the update volume is guaranteed. I have modified it before, so in order to avoid misleading subsequent readers, some comments have been deleted, otherwise it is easy to confuse, after all, people don’t actually read it carefully.
