I Only Like Your Character Settings - Chapter 40

Hearing Zhou Ziheng’s tone, Xia Xiqing was overjoyed. Those who didn’t know thought he was having an affair with Shang Sirui. When it was broadcast, the two CP fans…

He really couldn’t tell which of these two CP fans was happier.

Anyway, the CP fans of [Xia Shangzhou] must be happy.

“Don’t, I’ll come back to you in a while.” Xia Xiqing felt that he was like a flirtatious young man who hangs around the brothels, saying nice things here, and then running to the other side to make fun of him.

“Do you think I’ll still be waiting for you?” Zhou Ziheng’s tone still didn’t soften much. Xia Xiqing smiled softly, walked to the side of the radio and squatted down, gently tapped the radio twice, “I don’t care, I’ll wait until you come.”

After finishing speaking, Xia Xiqing turned off the blue **** and turned on the red **** that had never been turned on. He was not sure whether Shang Sirui’s current signal was still connected to Ruan Xiao, nor was he sure about Shang Sirui’s identity, but regardless of his Whether it’s the killer or not, everyone should need to understand the plot of the male protagonist at this time.

Xia Xiqing stood up, walked back to the table, picked up the puzzle piece he found earlier, and placed it in the blank area behind the door. The raised part of the new puzzle piece fit perfectly with the depression of the original puzzle piece. As Zhou Ziheng said before, there will be a magnetic attraction when placed in the right position, and this puzzle piece is also firmly attracted to the door.

In this way, half of the blank area has been filled, and there should be only two pieces of the puzzle.

At this moment, Xia Xiqing suddenly heard a voice. Looking back, the door of the closet opened by itself, and a red laser appeared inside, which was placed straight on the opposite wall.

“Scared me…” Xia Xiqing walked to the cabinet talking to himself, “The props group of this episode really spent a lot of money…”

Seeing a laser and thinking of a reflection is almost subconscious among regular escape room escapers. He reached out and grabbed the wardrobe door, adjusted the angle of the wardrobe door, and found that the laser could automatically adjust the incident angle according to the angle change.

But there is no mirror in this room. At this time, only tentative methods can be used. Xia Xiqing grasped the closet door, slowly adjusted the opening and closing angle of the closet in small increments, and observed the changes in the direction of the laser light. At first, no matter how he adjusted, the light shot out straightly, until at a certain moment, the beam of red light suddenly turned , hit the wall on the right side of the bed.

On the dark blue wallpaper, the beam of red light gathered into a point, but there was no further change. Xia Xiqing waited for a while, but no other agencies appeared.

It seems that the red dot is a location hint.

He walked to the side of the bed, half-knelt on the single bed, touched the red spot with his hand, and found a bulge, which seemed to be hidden under the wallpaper.

It turned out to be a reminder message.

Xia Xiqing tore a hole in the wallpaper, and the third puzzle piece fell out, along with strange characters. He put away the puzzle and looked at the words on the wall.

In fact, if you look carefully, you can tell that the word has been mirrored, but if it’s just this difficult, it’s okay, you can barely recognize it one by one, but the program team didn’t plan to set up such a simple level at all. This line of strange characters , is actually the effect of overlapping two lines of mirror characters.

Mirror surface processing plus separation, this kind of task is really a bit difficult for the human eye, but there is no mirror in the room now.

“I can only use a stupid way…” Xia Xiqing took the diary that had been placed on the table before, tore off a page, and prepared to rub the words on the wall.

He still doesn’t fully understand what’s going on in the plot, and the killer’s standard is even more impossible to talk about. Xia Xiqing even suspected that the program crew gave himself the most difficult part.

At this time, the radio, which had been emitting noisy electrical sounds, finally heard human voices.

“Xi Qing?”

Xia Xiqing put his hand on the wall and replied while rubbing his words, “Yeah. You’re finally here.”

The last program was played by Shang Sirui. Xia Xiqing knew better than anyone how smart the person on the other end of the phone was. “How are you doing? Do you have any idea?”

“You must know that our current identity is actually the identity of the owner of the room.”

The trick of pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger in the last episode is valid only once, this time Shang Sirui didn’t hide it at all, and got to the point, “I just had a call with Ruan Xiao, and I found that there are very few clues in my room. “

These words sounded like Shang Sirui’s usual style of [showing weakness in advance].

“How to say?”

“I have sorted out almost all the plot lines that can be sorted out in my room, but there is only one. When we talked to Ruan Xiao for the first time, we both found that each other’s plot lines were completely different. At that time, I guessed, could it be a real girlfriend or a fake girlfriend? Afterwards we talked again, Ruan Xiao told me that she has a new plot line, but I still only have one. And the most cheating thing is that her new clues don’t match mine.”

Xia Xiqing recalled the first time he spoke with Ruan Xiao, Ruan Xiao hesitated to speak, probably because their plot lines were different, and Xia Xiqing himself had “multiple plot lines” in Shang Sirui’s mouth, just thinking about it now Only two were found.

He remembered the number symbols on the clues he found, so he tried to ask Shang Sirui, “Are there any marks on your clues? Such as letters and numbers.”

“You have it too.” Shang Sirui pointed it out directly, which was completely different from his previous show’s style of painting, but he immediately had a showdown in the next second, “My clues are indeed marked, and every plot I found There’s a number on every clue, whether it’s a memo or an email.”

He deliberately avoided the question of what the number is. Xia Xiqing didn’t want to ask directly, but Shang Sirui obviously didn’t dispel his doubts about him. Asking directly like this would make him more wary of himself. will lie.

It is better to have no clues than to have false clues, so as not to disturb the train of thought.

“I also have numbers, but to be honest, I am the same as Ruan Xiao. I have two plot lines so far, but the difference is not too big.”

“What’s the difference?” Shang Sirui asked again.

Xia Xiqing hesitated for a moment, feeling that the information he had was not that critical, so he said frankly, “The timelines of the two sets of clues are different, the later one is written at 13:00, at that time the boyfriend already knew that his girlfriend had a heart attack. There was a sudden death message. The other set was earlier, in which the male lead just turned off the phone, and the female lead didn’t say whether she was dead or not.”

He explained again, “It means that in the second plot, the hero doesn’t know the ending of the heroine.”

Shang Sirui was silent for a while, “So, the beginning and the end of your two plots are the same?”

“Yes, the male lead and the female lead quarreled, the female lead took the train back to her parents’ city, the male lead turned off the phone in anger, and it’s the same until here.” Xia Xiqing took the last part, got off the bed, and walked to the small round table sit down.

Shang Sirui’s tone changed, and he sighed, “Then ours is completely different. Your plot is consistent with the one in Ruan Xiao’s hands.”

really. Ruan Xiao really had clues that matched his own plot, which made Xia Xiqing heave a sigh of relief, which at least meant that a certain set of plots in his hands could be completely restored.

But immediately, Xia Xiqing discovered a problem, “Wait a minute, why are you completely different from Ruan Xiao? If you are playing the same role, at least there will be a chronological connection. Zhou Ziheng and I’s room is In this way, in many cases, I have to move the things in the house first before the props on his end can work. It means that the two rooms of the same character are related.”

“What if you are not in the same time and space at this moment?”

Xia Xiqing was enlightened by Shang Sirui’s sudden question. That’s right, if he and Zhou Ziheng are in the same time and space, there must be a chronological connection, otherwise they are parallel.

He continued, “To be honest, when I first entered the room, the first signal I wanted to connect to was Ziheng, but the signal from Ziheng couldn’t be connected. When I went to find Ruan Xiao later, we both had There are numbered clues.

Xia Xiqing understood what Shang Sirui meant. If no one found any numbered clues after entering the room, it meant that he had not entered the time and space, or was in the default time and space.

“So what you mean is that you and Ruan Xiao haven’t been able to get involved in the agency because she hasn’t found a clue with the same number as yours.”

Obtaining new clues means switching a time and space.

“That’s right, we missed the opportunity to communicate during the initialization, because I was waiting for Ziheng, but he kept chatting with you for almost half an hour!”

These two people are really more childish than the other.

Xia Xiqing suddenly thought of the changing time on the notebook. In fact, the time is not important at all. The important thing is that it represents that he has now entered a new time and space.

From Time and Space 1 of the diary to Time and Space 2 of the notebook.

So, the time and space that Ruan Xiao didn’t find is the time and space where Shang Sirui is?

Xia Xiqing cleared his mind and said again, “So, what kind of plot line did you get? Did the heroine die of a heart attack in the end?”

“Our plots are probably the same only in this ending.” Shang Sirui laughed at himself, “But there is no similarity other than that. In my plot line, I am the one who wants to save people. People. It is the heroine who saves the hero who shut himself up at home and turned on the gas to commit suicide, do you understand?”

“What?”

suicide?

This new plot came too suddenly, Xia Xiqing was a little confused for a while, but he immediately thought of the last sentence in the previous diary, after the male protagonist knew that the female protagonist died, he did have thoughts of dying. But he didn’t think about that at all.

“Wait a minute, the gap between this plot and mine is too big, then what? Is the heroine going to save the hero?”

“In this plot line, the heroine was already at the bus station near the train station when she was initialized. He knew that the heroine would commit suicide in an hour, so he went to the opposite side and took the No. 420 bus in the opposite direction.”

“But there was a traffic accident on the way to the male lead’s house, and the bus was stuck on the road, so she finally got out of the bus, and couldn’t stop the bus halfway, so she had to run out of the blocked road and take a taxi at the next intersection. But because of the intense exercise, the heart was overloaded, and the disease occurred before stopping the car.”

This set of plots completely overturned all Xia Xiqing’s previous plots.

He seemed to understand something, “Is the number of all your clues the number 3?”

“That’s right.”

Therefore, there are three parallel time and space in this story. Xia Xiqing looked at the knobs on the radio, only Ruan Xiao had 0 written on them, Zhou Ziheng and Shang Sirui didn’t.

What exactly does this 0 mean? If it is just for distinction, there are so many ways, why use 0? And the other one has nothing and no numbers other than 0.

“Do you have any clues to the number 3?” Shang Sirui asked.

“No, not so far.”

“Really?” Shang Sirui’s tone was skeptical, “I also think it’s suspicious, why are your two clues so similar? Even Ruan Xiao has changed, but you are almost the same.”

Xia Xiqing laughed twice, “To be honest, I am also very surprised. It is also the effect of the butterfly effect, why Ruan Xiao is affected so much.”

Whether Shang Sirui can accept such rhetoric, Xia Xiqing couldn’t figure it out, but he took the initiative to give Shang Sirui an idea, “Your plot line is too few, let’s talk about it, if you are not a killer, you are now There are two ways. Either, escape from your room first, let the plot go and forget about it.”

“Either you connect to Zhou Ziheng’s signal and get more plot lines from him that Ruan Xiao and I don’t have. Neither you nor him have a number on the radio, which means that there will always be one of your plot lines that matches. “

Shang Sirui was silent for a while, then gave a headache to the radio, and told the truth as if giving up on himself, “Let me tell you the truth, I have already unlocked the door of my room.”

“But this program group is too perverted. The clues given to me after I escaped from the room were actually incomplete. They also told me that the final decryption of the door requires splicing the clues from the two rooms to get the final password. So how can I I have to cooperate with people in everything, and the key point is that I don’t know who is my partner.”

Hearing what Shang Sirui said, Xia Xiqing was dubious. Shang Sirui’s tactics are too similar. This seemingly thorough method is the fastest way to gain trust. Even if the other party doesn’t believe it, it will confuse the audience.

“So you’re hiding in your room now?”

“Yeah.” Shang Sirui breathed a sigh of relief, he seemed to feel that he had talked too much, “I won’t tell you anymore, I’m going to try the second way you said now, and I’ll let myself know after a while.”

Xia Xiqing laughed, “Look at what you said, as if he is a killer.”

But Shang Sirui used his usual cute tone to stop Xia Xiqing’s words, “Why do I feel that your vigilance towards him is very low this time?”

what.

After hearing this, Xia Xiqing’s first reaction was to feel a little guilty. He concealed his emotions and asked, “What do you mean? So you think I should suspect him?”

Shang Sirui laughed, “You are so smart, shouldn’t you doubt everyone?”

His ending sound was full of hints. Xia Xiqing guessed that Shang Sirui had discovered the ambiguous relationship between him and Zhou Ziheng, so he made such a joke by taking advantage of the killer.

“Okay, you, hurry up and find him. If you find out that he is a killer, remember to come back and tell me.”

“No, no, no, I’ve changed~ I seriously suspect you are now, I’m going to tell him.” Shang Sirui bluffed with a friendly attitude, Xia Xiqing had a sharp mouth, but a gentle smile on his face, “Believe it or not, I’ll kill you right now?”

“Tch. I really don’t believe it.”

After saying this, Shang Sirui disconnected the signal. Xia Xiqing knew that Shang Sirui did not feel his suspicion of Zhou Ziheng in his words, but to be honest, the person Xia Xiqing suspected most was Zhou Ziheng, but he did not have any evidence.

But he has never killed himself, which is very suspicious. Normally, if Zhou Ziheng is really the killer, he will definitely kill himself before the first vote, otherwise there will be endless troubles.

too messy. Xia Xiqing didn’t bother to think about it. He first took the jigsaw puzzle he found from the wallpaper to the door, and the magnetic attraction sucked the jigsaw up, but there was no reaction. Unlike just now, it directly affected the mechanism of the wardrobe in the room.

Is there no mechanism to trigger this puzzle?

Xia Xiqing stared at the butterfly pattern on the jigsaw puzzle that was about to recover, and thought of the butterfly effect in that book. If this is the theme of this episode, why are my two plot lines so similar, with almost no changes?

Just when he was puzzled, the laptop on the desk suddenly beeped, and he received an email.

[Excuse me, what does the “0” on the red and blue knobs mean? Please reply to the email for the answer. ]

“If only I knew…” Xia Xiqing, who hadn’t straightened out his thoughts, licked the corner of his mouth a little irritably, ignored the reminder, but walked back to the round table, turned over the opened small note, and raised Get up and aim at the overhead light on the ceiling.

Under the light, the paper turned into a translucent form, and the traces left by the black signature pen on it were mapped to the correct handwriting. There were only two overlapping lines, but it was barely recognizable.

“When you… shut down all the news from the outside world…” Xia Xiqing recognized each word and read it softly, “Another you appeared, trying to save everything.”

another me?

After the first line was finished, his gaze returned to the very beginning again.

“You are…the initiator of your time and space…not the savior…whether it is 1, 2 or 3.”

Xia Xiqing slowly put down the hand holding the note, lost in thought.

I am a starter, not a savior. No matter in which of the three space-times.

He suddenly thought of the sentence that Ruan Xiao hesitated to ask him at the beginning.

[Have you ever gone out? ]

Xia Xiqing finally understood that he was the male lead who initialized in every parallel time and space. He has been doing the same thing all the time. Time travel never happened to him. He always turned off the Cell phone, staying at home alone, so the butterfly effect in many processes did not affect him.

Then Ruan Xiao, who matched him, should be the original heroine in the three time and space. She didn’t time travel, but she was affected by the butterfly effect of the time traveler, so she has a different plot copy.

His thoughts suddenly became clear, and Xia Xiqing finally understood why there was a 0 marked on the knobs of himself and Ruan Xiao. This number does not represent a distinction in a simple sense, but tells them that the number of times he and Ruan Xiao have traveled is 0, and they are the hero and heroine that originally existed in every time and space!

He stood up quickly, walked to the desk and clicked to reply to the email.

[The number of crossings is 0]

Soon, Xia Xiqing received a reply.

[Congratulations, the answer is correct, I will give you a small reward. ]

The next moment, Xia Xiqing checked the bed countless times without finding any clues, and suddenly a hidden drawer was automatically pushed out from the side.

Xia Xiqing walked over and took out the things in the drawer. It was a fax machine with a number on it – 3

The plot line in Shang Sirui’s hands!

There are many cameras on the desk. In order to facilitate the recording of the program group, Xia Xiqing put the fax machine on the desk. This fax machine is different from the old antiques I have seen before. There is no numeric keypad for dialing on it. A small led screen. Xia Xiqing touched it and found that the screen was a touch screen.

How can I get the fax machine to work?

At this moment, a sentence appeared on the screen.

[Excuse me, how many times has your girlfriend, who is also a beginner, experienced death? You only get one chance, so be sure to confirm your answer. ]

“This question may only be answered by Ruan Xiao who has collected all the copies of the plot…”

Xia Xiqing walked to the radio and turned on the red **** that belonged to Ruan Xiao.

At this time, the familiar voice from the program group appeared again.

“Attention all players, the first voting will start in five minutes.”

The author has something to say: Zhou Ziheng: Chapter 40, I hope everyone can write my name correctly.

Xia Xiqing: What was your experience of naming your name with a rare word? [hold back laugh

There are two more chapters (at most) of the reality show, and there will be no more reality shows in the future, and we will start a drama within a drama. I read the comments every day to see my score.

It doesn’t matter if you don’t understand the reality show. When you watch Conan, you should also (at least I am) immersed in the atmosphere of cocooning but also ignorant. It’s impossible to come up and know everything from the perspective of God. It means that the script is a failure. right? It’s a good feeling to realize that when you are about to untie it.

I will write an analysis after the reality show is over. This is actually a very complete plot that can even be used to write short stories.
