"Then just knock open the statue, the person is inside," Su Qiqi said with a dead look.
Li Lin fell silent. After a long while, he smiled awkwardly and scratched his face. "You, you think too much. How can a person build himself into a stone statue and carve a stone statue at the same time? On the day Hua Tiantian disappeared, she was the only one in the art classroom, so..."
Li Lin hesitated for a moment, then suddenly jumped back, raised his finger and pointed at Su Qiqi, with cold sweat on his forehead.
"The only possibility is that Hua Tiantian built other people into this stone statue!"
Although it is logically correct that a person cannot build himself into a stone statue and then carve the statue, but...
"Aren't you the person who doesn't believe in "uniqueness" and "logic" the most in this world?" Su Qiqi looked at Li Lin dimly, "You should be the one who knows best. There is no so-called "secret room" in this world, and there is no such thing as only one person being present. Even if Hua Tiantian was the only one present that night, you can be sure that there were other guys there at the time."
Li Lin's heart skipped a beat and he subconsciously turned his gaze away.
The dim art classroom was wrapped in strange paintings that concealed the ordinary. The woman grinned and stood in the mold under their gaze. She was submerged by those things little by little. After her breathing stopped, she was directly carved by those things.
What Su Qiqi said was absolutely correct, but in his eyes, there was no such thing as a "secret room" in this world where there were no other "people". Even if Hua Tiantian was the only one there that night... there must have been other guys there.
Just like now, there were only him and Su Qiqi present, but there was a third person, Lu Qin, floating behind him.
"Hey - we, we must believe in science!" Li Lin smiled happily, his eyes shining.
"What are you avoiding? You've already guessed what it is, but you don't want to face it, right?" Su Qiqi narrowed her eyes.
Of course people have to believe in science, but there are too many unscientific things in this world. The more you see, the less you can believe in science. Li Lin is always looking at those unscientific things, but he just pretends not to see or hear them and says nothing. Such a guy is shouting that we must believe in science...
It's like saying that this is a very troublesome problem that cannot be solved by science, so let's pretend to solve it with science!
As a young person who was a little beaten by the society and was quite brave, Su Qiqi not only failed to cooperate with Li Lin with high emotional intelligence to avoid this matter, but directly exposed Li Lin's idea, forcing Li Lin to continue to disassemble the matter.
"Sometimes, ignorance is a kind of bliss." After a long silence, Li Lin lowered his hands and exhaled softly, "Not digging out the truth can make you live happier. That's not heartless."
"The premise of ignorance is that I really didn't notice any signs at all," Su Qiqi spread her hands, "Now I know there is a problem, but I pretend I don't know. Do you think I will feel good?"
"Learning to accept such hardships is also a necessary process to become a reliable adult," Li Lin complained, and at the same time began to mutter secretly in his heart.
It seems that Su Qiqi has no other guesses about Su Yu's death, but simply thinks that it was a very unfortunate and painful accident.
"So, my classmate Su Qiqi, what do you think I should do now?" Li Lin raised his hands above his head, a little helpless, "The fastest way to find out if I'm lying to myself is to knock on this statue. Are you sure you want me to knock here?"
Su Qiqi's expression froze.
Although there was no evidence at all, she just felt that the statue contained Hua Tiantian's body. Knocking it open here would mean that a corpse would fall to her house with a bang. Putting aside issues such as mysophobia, follow-up handling would also be a big problem. If she called the police...how would they explain it?
It was difficult to explain and troublesome in every sense, and she felt itchy if she didn't knock on the door.
After thinking for a while, Su Qiqi made up her mind.
"Open the stone!"
"Hey! Aren't you worried about something going wrong?" Li Lin's face was full of resistance. As long as the truth was not revealed, that fact would always just be a guess, but once it was revealed, he would have to accept it!
"This is the 30th floor, and I'm the only one living here. The resident on the 29th floor was on a business trip recently, so no one's here! Even if something happens, no one will notice!" Su Qiqi gritted her teeth.
She is so curious!
Chapter 219: Quantum Physics in Despair
Li Lin, holding the hammer, was a little hesitant, not knowing where to start.
"Hurry up! Are you a man? You've been waiting with the hammer for ten minutes!"
Su Qiqi, who was hiding behind the sofa with a frying pan, couldn't help but urge them.
"You can you go, no can no BB."
Even though I said that, it is still very troublesome.
Li Lin took a deep breath, exhaled heavily, and slowly raised the hammer.
"Where do you think it would be better for me to start knocking first?"
"Let's start with the arm first. At least there is definitely no corpse inside that arm," Su Qiqi hesitated for a while and then shrank her neck.
"I understand," Li Lin's eyes narrowed, and the fingers of his right hand holding the hammer tightened, "I'm going to do it!"
"let's go!"
"I'm really going to do it!"
"Okay! I'm ready!"
"Thinking about it carefully... this is the first time a girl has given me such a valuable gift. We, we should..."
"Hurry up!!!" Su Qiqi couldn't help but picked up the slippers and threw them at Li Lin's head.
Li Lin was startled when the slipper hit his head, and subconsciously swung the hammer down. Although he tried to control himself to avoid it, the hammer still brushed past the arm that was covering the statue's eyes.
"Gu——" Li Lin swallowed hard, cold sweat breaking out on his forehead.
As we all know, statues are made of stone, and stone is often very hard, at least much harder than the human skull. But for some reason, there are always plots in TV dramas where stone statues will break if they are casually touched or rubbed.
But! He had always known that it was just a plot that happened to advance the plot, either accidentally discovering the secret hidden in the stone statue, or having to be controlled by others because of destroying the stone statue.
In fact, the stone statue is not that easy——
"Click——"
A tiny cracking sound came from the stone statue. Li Lin's expression changed and he subconsciously raised his left hand.
"Wait……"
The arm covering the statue's right eye brushed against the tip of Li Lin's right index finger and fell heavily to the ground, breaking into several pieces.
Li Lin's eyes narrowed.
"Uh... I can't go back..." Su Qiqi shrank her neck. Because Li Lin was standing in front of her, she couldn't see the statue clearly.
"I think," Li Lin's expression was stiff, and he slowly moved away, "It would be better for us to turn back now."
"Huh? You've got—"
Su Qiqi's voice stopped abruptly, her eyes slowly widened, but her pupils shrank to the limit in an instant and she began to tremble slightly.
The statue has a lifelike eye.
This was nothing. She had seen many statues with beautiful eyes, but this statue in front of her shouldn't have eyes...
The statue is carved out of a whole, unlike building blocks where you can replace parts at will, so the hand should be connected to the face of the statue. Even if it is broken, the finger part should remain on the face of the statue, instead of like now, where the arm seems redundant and falls off as a whole.
and so……
Su Qiqi swallowed hard and looked at the other arms.
The other eye, ear, and mouth, actually, they all have them, right?
So, how is that done?
"This, this is modern art? It really exists. It's quite surprising," Su Qiqi turned her face away with a stiff expression.
Now she regretted a little bit about knocking open the statue. Just the current display was something she couldn't understand and was horrifying when she thought about it more carefully.
Those arms looked as if they were extending from the back of the statue after it was completed.
"Well, these arms could be a seal or something. If all the arms are knocked off, some can see, some can hear, and some can speak... then something terrible will happen."
Li Lin's mouth twitched, "We must believe in science."
Damn, that eye was definitely looking at him!
Damn it, I’m going to go all the way. Kill me if you dare!
Li Lin gritted his teeth, raised the hammer and smashed towards the remaining five arms. Just as Su Qiqi was about to reach out to stop him, she heard five cracking sounds, and the five arms fell to the ground and shattered into pieces.
"Goo-"
What now appeared in front of them was a statue of a beautiful girl bound by chains. It was much more normal than the previous "Don't Speak, Don't Look, Don't Hear", but Su Qiqi felt her scalp tingling.
The beautiful eyes, the crystal small mouth and the ears with perfect curvature were lifelike, but all of them were previously covered by the broken arms.
"Uh... do you want to keep knocking?" Li Lin looked hesitant as he held the hammer.
"Ahem..." Su Qiqi's eyes flickered, "Yes, or, let's clean up first."
"Mmm Good."
Li Lin nodded vigorously, put the hammer aside stiffly, caught the broom thrown by Su Qiqi, and began to clean up the debris on the ground. Su Qiqi also stood beside Li Lin with a garbage bag in her hand without saying a word. The statue did not move, but her eyes looked towards the two people with their backs to her little by little.
Su Qiqi felt a slight numbness in her neck and subconsciously turned her head to look over, then her eyes met the statue's.
Su Qiqi felt her legs go limp. She reached out and tugged at Li Lin's clothes, her voice trembling, "Well, Li Lin, normally, the eyes of a stone statue won't move, right?"
Li Lin's hand holding the broom trembled.
Hey, hey, hey! This is the death flag of a horror movie!
At this time, if he answered that the eyes of the stone statue would not move, Su Qiqi would most likely see the statue moving around blindly.
"Do you know that there is a kind of carving technique in this world called quantum carving?" Li Lin raised his right index finger and said seriously.
"Hey! Not everything can be explained by quantum theory!"
Li Lin's statement, which seemed like an escape from reality, made Su Qiqi feel dizzy.
"It's OK as long as it works!" Li Lin's face was stiff. He stretched out his hand and pulled Su Qiqi into his arms. He leaned close to Su Qiqi's ear and lowered his voice, "You are stupid. At this time, we just need to pretend that we didn't see anything, didn't hear anything, and didn't realize anything. We can just fool around with this matter."
Su Qiqi's body stiffened for a moment and then relaxed, with a slight blush on her face.
Indeed, the supporting characters who die first in horror movies are all scared to death. They just use a trick and the ghosts cooperate with them, and they are killed immediately.
So just pretend nothing happened.
"Click——"
The fine cracking sounds made Su Qiqi and Li Lin subconsciously straighten their backs and look in the direction of the statue with stiff movements.
A crack appeared at the position of the statue's right eye, and the crack was getting bigger and bigger.
Chapter 220: Okay, this isn't very quantum
The gray stone fell heavily to the ground and broke into several pieces.
What's inside the statue? Of course it should be a statue! But what appeared in front of Su Qiqi and Li Lin was an eyelid as white as snow, with long eyelashes slightly curled up, and something seemed to be moving under the eyelid.
That's... your eyeballs are rolling, right?
"Goo-"
Li Lin swallowed hard, raised his hand quietly, touched the palm of Su Qiqi's hand, and wrote the word "glue".
Su Qiqi nodded stiffly, turned around, took her feet out of her slippers, stepped lightly on the floor, covered her mouth, and walked carefully towards the TV cabinet, fearing that she would accidentally make any noise and wake up that eye.
Li Lin turned his gaze away, bent down and picked up the fragments on the ground.
At this point, he would not shout that something was unscientific. There were so many unscientific things in the world anyway. Even if he shouted that it was unscientific, the statues would not be rebuilt. So there was only one thing to do now!
Su Qiqi carefully handed the 502 super glue to Li Lin, and at the same time subconsciously looked at the exposed right eye of the statue. As if it had noticed Su Qiqi's gaze, its eyelashes trembled slightly, as if they might open at any time, which startled Su Qiqi and she immediately turned her gaze away.
Li Lin narrowed his eyes and put his hand on Su Qiqi's head: "It's okay, just don't look at it."
"Hey--" Su Qiqi opened her eyes slightly and spoke subconsciously, but immediately covered her mouth again, and couldn't help but glanced towards the statue again.
But before she saw the statue, a big hand had already pressed on her face. Su Qiqi's vision went dark and she subconsciously reached out and grabbed Li Lin's clothes nervously.
"It's okay, just don't look at it," Li Lin took Su Qiqi into his arms from behind and gently patted Su Qiqi's back with his right hand, "It should be enough not to look at the exposed eye."
"Are you sure?" Su Qiqi buried her face in Li Lin's clothes, her shoulders trembling slightly. After all, everything that happened was beyond her endurance. She regretted from the bottom of her heart why she was curious about those trivial things. Unfortunately, there is no regret medicine in the world.
"So what if I'm not sure?"
Unfortunately, Li Lin is not a warm-hearted man with high emotional intelligence. He pulled Su Qiqi into his arms only because Su Qiqi was fragrant and soft, and it was very comfortable to hug her.
Li Lin subconsciously slid his hands down and pinched Su Qiqi's buttocks.
Su Qiqi's mouth twitched.
Now she was no longer panicking. She just wanted to raise her knee and hit Li Lin's crotch hard, but she couldn't do it. If Li Lin fell, she would have to face this strange statue alone.
"Then what are you going to do?" Su Qiqi pushed Li Lin away forcefully, covered her buttocks and took several steps back. The numbness on her buttocks overwhelmed her strong and taboo curiosity about the statue, which she wanted to see but couldn't.
"Use science," Li Lin gestured with the super glue in his hand, "Student Su Qiqi, could you please buy me some more 502 glue? Ah, any glue will do. The stronger the better."
"What do you want to do?" Su Qiqi frowned, "Are you planning to glue the broken pieces back together?"
Li Lin did not hide it and simply nodded, "Yes."
