Survivorship Bias - Chapter 138

    How is that possible?

    An Wujiu turned his head, frowned and made a mouth to Shen Ti.

    [Is it Erci? ]

    Shen Ti broke the communicator with one shot, then slowly raised the gun, aiming at the pollutants in front of him.

    “Don’t shoot yet.”

    An Wujiu grabbed his arm.

    He always felt something was wrong.

      passed.

    This is clearly raising this pollutant in captivity, and the captive person is likely to be the person on the other end of the communicator just now.

    “Let’s find Yirou first.”

    The more An Wu Jiu thought about it, the more she felt that there was something wrong, so she grabbed Shen Ti and ran upstairs.

    Although it is incredible, once it is really what he thinks…

    It’s too complicated.

    After entering the altar, Zhong Yirou can be considered to have experienced countless bizarre incidents, both absurd and paradoxical, but she never imagined that the scene in front of her would happen like this.

    It turns out that the dead can be resurrected.

    The man she couldn’t save, now point the gun at her.

    Zhong Yirou resisted the turmoil in her heart and tried her best to convince herself to calm down. No matter what conspiracy was behind it, whether it was being manipulated or really resurrected, she couldn’t collapse now.

    “Erci, it’s me… You’re Erci, right?”

    Zhong Yirou raised her hands in a non-resistance gesture, “You know me, I’m Zhong Yirou…”

    “Enough.” Yang Erci was extremely cold, frowned, and even showed a hint of disgust.

    Zhong Yirou was stinged by her eyes, she didn’t understand what happened, but she couldn’t question now.

    She quickly wiped the tears from her face with the back of her hand, and glanced at Wu You who was still struggling on the shelf.

    The injection in the needle should be something like a tranquilizer, which seems to be effective against pollutants.

    “Do you want to kill me?” Zhong Yirou stared at Yang Erci in the broken glass, “If that’s the case, why don’t you do it?”

    Yang Erci frowned again.

    Zhong Yirou noticed that her finger moved slightly on the trigger, but she still did not press it.

    Suddenly, Yang Erci’s hand moved, and the target of the gun was replaced by Wu You who was upside down.

    “Don’t!”

    Zhong Yirou immediately pounced on Wu You, her arm skin was corroded by the mucus on Wu You’s body, but she could barely feel the pain now, “Don’t shoot.”

     Wu You smelled Zhong Yirou’s scent, and immediately retracted the mucus on the skin for defense.

    “You kill me. Don’t you want to kill me?” Zhong Yirou leaned on Wu You and looked up at Yang Erci, his eyes full of panic and confusion, “He is Wu You, do you recognize him? Can’t you come out? He won’t hurt anyone.”

    Zhong Yirou was left with despair at the moment. Both were people she knew very well, but one didn’t know her and wanted to kill her, and the other was polluted and couldn’t hear her.

    Yang Erci stood where she was, staring at Zhong Yirou’s tearful eyes, her hand holding the gun tightened.

    Zhong Yirou also stared at her, at this time she gradually came out of shock and panic. Without looking through the glass, Zhong Yirou suddenly realized that the Yang Erci in front of her was not the same as she was yesterday.

    Yesterday she was wearing a white shirt and black trousers, but now she is wearing a gray-black hoodie that she has never seen before.

    This dress is not in Yang Erci’s wardrobe.

    On a closer look, Zhong Yirou found out that the hair under her hat was short and medium hair that only reached her shoulders, and it was dyed blue-black.

    Not long black hair.

    The line of sight fell on her arm, blood oozing from the sleeve, probably injured, the sleeve half covered her gun holding hand, and the back of the hand seemed to have scars left after the burns healed.

    Except for the looks, nothing else is right.

    Zhong Yirou wondered a little, could this not be Yang Erci…

    Or rather, not the Yang Erci she knew.

     Realizing this, Zhong Yirou felt a chill in her heart.

    There is no situation that Yang Erci is being controlled, there is no stab wound on her chest, and the state and complexion of the whole person do not look like someone who has died once, not to mention that many of her characteristics and Yang Erci’s They are different, they are two different bodies.

    Zhong Yirou thought of her reaction to the name when she called her Yang Erci just now…

    She said “enough” and didn’t argue.

    Is she also called Yang Erci?

    The thoughts in my mind are more and more complicated, and the more I think about it, the more terrifying these may emerge.

    How is this possible? How can there be two of her? Zhong Yirou kept denying her thoughts in her heart, but the fact that happened before her forced her to face it all.

    They are indeed in the altar now, otherwise how could such a thing happen?

    Zhong Yirou eagerly wanted to know why another Yang Erci appeared, but she was afraid of angering her in front of her.

    If he really shoots, Wu You will be more fortunate.

    She decides to delay, at least until Wu You recovers a bit, and waits for An Wujiu and Shen Ti to appear.

    Yang Erci looked down at her like this, her eyes were very complicated, as if she wanted to kill her, but she couldn’t do it.

    This is not normal, she is the one who pointed a gun at her as soon as she appeared, she could only want to kill her, or ask something from her mouth, but she was both did not do.

    Zhong Yirou suddenly thought that this Yang Erci also knew her, and she could see at a glance that she was not the Zhong Yirou she knew.

    There is only one possibility in this situation, that Zhong Yirou is dead, just like what she encountered.

    Wu You under her body wrapped Zhong Yirou’s hand with her tentacles, and she suddenly thought that there was more than one possibility.

    There is another one, that Zhong Yirou has been contaminated…

    “You…” Zhong Yirou tried to speak, “You know my face, right?”

    She said, and immediately added, “It’s just that I’m not the person you’re looking for.”

    The shadow of the hood shrouded Yang Erci’s eyebrows and eyes, and Zhong Yirou’s face was reflected in her pupils.

    Exactly the same…

    Yang Erci thought about shooting, it was something she expected, so she made psychological preparations very early.

    When she found a guy who looked exactly like her friend, appeared in front of them and killed him, she was ready.

    There must be another Zhong Yirou, she may appear at any time.

    Don’t be fooled, be sure to kill her.

    “I’m just guessing so.” Zhong Yirou lowered her eyes and looked up at her again, “I have a… friend.” She pursed her lips, “She looks very similar to you, So when I saw you just now, I also misunderstood.”

    Zhong Yirou looked up at her and said something very foul.

    “I won’t hurt you, you look too much like her.”

    Yang Erci’s tense nerves were inevitably loosened at this moment, she knew that the real Zhong Yirou was not in front of her.

    The real her has long since become a pollutant and was locked in the refrigerator by herself.

    But they are exactly the same, even the ending sounds and expressions are the same.

    Yang Erci was still in a trance for a moment.

    But it was this second of shaking that made her no longer invulnerable. Several tentacles sprang out quickly and attacked this Yang Erci like a snake. One hit her wrist, forcing her to let go, and the gun fell to the ground. Death strangling.

    Zhong Yirou didn’t expect Wu You to recover so quickly, she hurriedly picked up the gun on the ground and put it in a bag.

    Wu You’s tentacles wrapped around Yang Erci’s neck, squeezing her throat hard. Seeing that she couldn’t breathe at all, Zhong Yirou rushed up and slapped Wu You’s tentacles a little excitedly.

    “Wu You! Wu You, don’t pester her, let go!” Zhong Yirou was very anxious, not realizing that Wu You was in an offensive state at the moment, her skin was covered with mucus, even her palms are corroded.

    It was useless, Wu You couldn’t hear her voice at all.

    Zhong Yirou was about to cry, but she couldn’t do anything to Wu You. Seeing that Yang Erci was about to be strangled to death, Wu You even stretched out another tentacle, the tip was open, and blood was coming out of her mouth Full of fangs, aiming at Yang Erci’s heart.

    “Don’t!”

    But the next moment, his tentacles stopped in the air.

    “Wu You, let go of her.”

    An Wujiu’s voice appeared, which was in stark contrast to hers.

    Zhong Yirou glanced over and saw him and Shen Ti, and let out a sigh of relief.

    Wu You listened to his words and let go of the hanged tentacles.

    Zhong Yirou felt paralyzed for a moment, and could only lean on the shelf behind her and sit on the ground a little bit.

    The tentacles were released and recovered, An Wu Jiu looked at the target Wu You attacked. Even if it was exactly the same as what he guessed, but seeing her face, An Wu Jiu couldn’t help but stunned.

    Yang Erci was almost strangled to death, her face was pale, she held her throat with both hands, panting, and looked at An Wujiu with hostile eyes.

    Shen Ti held her directly with a gun, “What’s your father’s name?”

    Hearing this question, even Wu You was stunned, and shoved Shen Ti with his tentacles.

    [Did you check your account? ]

    Shen Ti almost rolled his eyes and glanced at Zhong Yirou, “Don’t even think about it, she must have called Yang Erci to her, then I’ll ask her what her name means.”

    Yang Erci, who was sitting on the ground, looked at him coldly, as if she did not intend to speak, and refused to cooperate.

    Looking at her features, An Wujiu judged that this Yang Erci was probably another person.

    It is not necessarily an enemy or a friend.

    An Wujiu slightly lowered his head, looked down at Yang Erci in front of him, and showed a very light smile.

    “What you hear in the refrigerator is our voice.”

    Sure enough, as soon as this sentence came out, her expression changed.

    An Wujiu squatted down, stared into her eyes, and continued: “Don’t worry, we didn’t kill her, she is still alive.”

    Yang Erci only felt that the person in front of her was terrifying.

    Seeing that she didn’t speak, An Wujiu tilted his head, “But we left a small thing in the refrigerator, if you cooperate with us, there will be no problem with that thing.”

    “Otherwise,” An Wujiu stretched out his hand expressionlessly, made a virtual fist between him and her, and suddenly opened it, accompanied by his soft onomatopoeia, “Bang.”

     Zhong Yirou was frightened by his appearance, it has been a long time since his split state, she rarely sees An Wujiu threatening others.

    It’s even different from the previous madness, now An Wujiao has gone mad, it’s quite calm and much scarier.

    Sure enough, in the face of such psychological oppression, Yang Erci couldn’t keep silent.

    “Yang Ce.” She looked up at Shen Ti, “My dad’s name.”

    Shen Ti raised his eyebrows, “It’s really the same.” He put down the gun, took out a lollipop he just found from his pocket, tore the bag and stuffed it into his mouth.

    Shen Ti pointed at Zhong Yirou and asked vaguely, “Do you know her?”

    Yang Erci didn’t look at the direction he was pointing, and was unmoved.

    Shen Ti took out the lollipop and paused.

    “She’s your wife.”

    Zhong Yirou was terribly nervous, but when she heard his words suddenly, she was so angry that she grabbed the thing at hand and smashed it at Shen Ti, “Can you be serious? When is it…”

    An Wujiu also sat on the floor, facing the short-haired Yang Erci, “The person in the refrigerator room looks just like her.”

    “Yes.” Yang Erci admitted, “Exactly the same, there is someone who looks like me beside you.”

    An Wujiu nodded, “You can describe more about you, such as how many games you have participated in at the altar, what games, your occupation, your residence…etc. , the more the better.”

    Yang Erci didn’t want to say it at first, but she thought of the person in front of her just now and felt threatened, so she said it anyway.

    According to her words, they knew that this person and Yang Erci had exactly the same life, from birth to the death of their father.

    The difference is the part after she entered the altar. She has experienced the games in the shelter, but she has never met Shen Ti and An Wujiao, but other people, including Zhong Yirou , and even Nanshan, because there is a Taoist priest in her description.

    In addition, what she encountered in returning to reality from the altar was different. After returning to reality from the shelter center, she woke up in the middle of the night and the apartment caught fire, so her There were burns on her hands, and she cut her hair after that day.

    In her description, she has established a relationship with Zhong Yirou, she took the initiative, and her father is not dead, before Shuangyue appeared, she had even positioned her father’s position, Just had to go there to find him.

    So she was on her way to her father’s hideout, into this runaway copy of reality. Unlike them, she and a friend were together when they were initialized, but during the process of their escape, they found another person who was exactly the same as the friend.

    The person first asked them for help, and then when she finally accepted to walk together, she killed her friend, the other self of that person, while she was looking for a new weapon. her aircraft.

    She was alone, in endless remorse and danger, and by the time she managed to waste a lot of time and found Zhong Yirou in the chaos, she had already been bitten by pollutants neck.

    Too late.

    She watched Zhong Yirou gradually lose her appearance, but she couldn’t move, struggling to the end, she could only tie her up, stole a car that could hold pollutants, and took Zhong Yirou to a place where no one is present.

    This night, she didn’t close her eyes and kept changing places. If the pollutants didn’t eat, she would go crazy. She cut her arm and fed her blood, but it didn’t last long.

    She didn’t feel relieved until she found this supermarket.

    But she never imagined that the pollutants that had completely lost their humanity were beyond her control. So when she came back after taking the medicine, she saw with her own eyes that the former lover, the current monster, killed the people who came to the supermarket to take refuge.

      around.

    She was trying to get in touch with her father when they came. In the monitoring room on the second floor, she discovered the existence of several of them, especially the pollutants around them, which seemed to be able to be controlled.

    Yang Erci didn’t understand and felt incredible, so she left the monitoring room and quietly went to find the huge pollutant.

    She never expected to see Zhong Yirou’s normal appearance again.

    But she just saw it, and saw her joking with the pollutants and touching his tentacles with her hands. Yang Erci couldn’t help but think that the person who killed her friend had the exact same face.

    At that time, she told herself that if she met someone like Zhong Yirou, she must be killed.

    Otherwise she will be confused, after all, it is the same face.

    Unexpectedly, it still failed.

    After listening to what this short-haired Yang Erci said, Shen Ti held a lollipop in his mouth, gave a long hum, as if thinking, and then suddenly came to a conclusion.

    “Could it be a parallel time?”

    There are completely different parts, and there are overlapping parts, and it is indeed very similar to people who exist in parallel time and space, although this theory has not been really proved.

    But An Wujiu doesn’t think it’s surprising, at this time, what science is not scientific, as long as it happens in the altar, there are possibilities.

    But this parallel time and space seems to be different from what he knew, not completely parallel. Judging from Yang Erci’s life experience, for a long time before, the two of her were the same, like overlapping worlds.

    After entering the altar, a bifurcation began to appear, and it became two wrong paths.

    He suddenly thought of two moons in the sky.

    Does this mean that

    The whole world is now two overlapping spaces.

    The land they are stepping on at this moment is probably not their own time and space territory.

    “I have already said everything I can say.” Yang Erci looked at his eyes coldly, “Is it enough?”

    An Wujiu stood up and reached out to pull her, but the other party did not appreciate it.

    “Give this back to you.” Zhong Yirou took out the pistol and handed it to her, but when she handed it out, she accidentally took out a pain-relieving bandage from the package, and she hurriedly pulled it out again , stuffed it back into his pocket, smiled a little embarrassedly, “I just found this myself, it’s quite expensive…”

    Yang Erci stared at the pistol, was silent for a while, then raised her eyes and stared at Zhong Yirou’s face.

    Zhong Yirou was a little overwhelmed by her stare and wanted to say something, but the other party was one step ahead of her.

    “It really does.”

    The same greed for petty gain and money, the same soft-hearted.

    The short-haired Yang Erci took the gun from her hand and said blankly, “You hand the gun to the person who wants to kill you, are you not afraid that I will do it now?”

    Zhong Yirou smiled and shook her head, “If it were the Yang Erci I liked, I wouldn’t kill the Zhong Yirou you like.”

    “You are the same,” she said.

    After hearing this story told by Yang Erci, about the story of the two of them, Zhong Yirou suddenly felt relieved.

    Even if Yang Erci, who belonged to her, left, she would not regret that much.

    It turns out that she loves herself in another time and space, how lucky it is.

    Yang Erci’s hat fell back, revealing her short blue-black hair. The faces are the same, but they don’t seem to be the same.

    She didn’t speak, turned and left.

    An Wujiu stared at her back and suddenly spoke.

    “I didn’t set a time bomb.”

    The other party froze.

    “One more thing.”

    In essence, she is also Yang Erci, his friend.

    An Wujiu asked, “Would you like to come with us?”
