Cheng Lin looked at me and didn't answer, as if to gauge my reliability. His eyes flickered, and after he lowered his eyes slightly, he looked at me again, and his eyes became different.

"You weren't caught by that thing, were you?" Cheng Lin asked me.

I didn't answer, but I acquiesced.

According to Cheng Lin, if it was the person who caught the thing, someone should come to pick it up.

Cheng Lin's question also answered my question in disguise.

It quickly occurred to me that there should be a ghost from the future here. There should also be an entrance to the future here.

Yangshan District will be completely isolated, and the people here will fall into a time loop, which should be related to this. It's God who does it. It wants to kill the ghost, and it probably wants to kill the entrance and exit of another dimension.

We were both silent. I'm sorting out my thoughts, and Cheng Lin should be sorting out his thoughts as well.

After a while, he opened his mouth first.

"I have an approximate calculation time. From October 2, 2017, when the problem occurred in the entire Yangshan District, to today, a total of five years have passed. "At the beginning, everyone didn't know what was going on. The government informed that there was a problem with the water and power plants, and that the water and electricity would be cut off for a period of time, so that everyone could stay indoors and not go out. At night, the water and electricity are really cut off. Not only that, but both the network and communication were disrupted. People who have a place to live in Yangshan District are fine, but if they only go to work and school in Yangshan District, those who live in the place will be homeless. Municipal traffic was completely paralyzed. Taxis and private cars are also available. Still, most people can't leave. Some were sent to shelters, some to schools, where they were placed. There are also people who got the news late, so they should have found the police station and the police station to rest temporarily. Most guesthouses and hotels are closed directly because of power outages, unable to check in. There are also people who have received people...... However, not long after the incident, someone did something to smash and rob, causing chaos in law and order. ”

Cheng Lin narrated in an orderly manner and described to me the five years in Yangshan District.

"Communication was interrupted and no alarm could be called. The police presence in Yangshan District is very limited. Everyone thought it was temporary. Even if the entire Minqing is cut off from water and electricity, and communications are cut off, it should be restored soon. Minqing's backup facilities are very complete, there are no mountains and seas around, there are many highways, and the roads are smooth, and the country will not care. But after night, it was gradually discovered that there was no rescue at all. By the next day, the city was dead. By the next night, someone appeared on the street, shouting.

They said they drove out of Yangshan District, and when they got out of the confines of Yangshan District, they fell into a coma. After sobering up, they appeared on the streets. No one can explain what exactly happened.

"Then it got even more confusing.

"Hospitals have lost power, seriously ill patients have not been treated, and some sudden patients cannot be taken to the hospital for emergency treatment. The dead numbered more and more. Food and water have also become an issue.

"The government has the intention to manage the materials in a unified manner, count the number of people affected by the disaster in Yangshan District, and organize self-help. They went to doctors, university professors, and people who could farm, but the situation did not improve. The biggest problem, as I said to you, is that living objects will enter a cycle of death and come back to life after death, while inanimate objects will enter a fixed cycle and recover every twenty-five hours or so. As a result, many things simply cannot be done. In addition to this, once the resource is consumed, it cannot be restored. Food, water, batteries, gasoline, ...... These will not be restored after they are used up. And the dead, in the hours of death, some of them will become ghosts, and they will attack people. When he was resurrected, he changed from a ghost to a human again. The situation is very confusing. ”

Cheng Lin sighed, "These are the rules I discovered. I'm not sure if I'm correct. There may be some problems here. Probably, all the time and space are chaotic. ”

I asked, "What about the ghost?" ”

"I don't know." Cheng Lin shook his head, "I didn't participate in the whole thing, I was always a bystander." The brain surgery I was in charge of was also of little use at this point. At the end of the first year, the hospital was notified. At that time, the hospital was actually useless. In a year, people have died several times. No one wants to be treated. Some people commit suicide directly after being resurrected, and they can't stand this feeling of waiting for death slowly. The people who remain in the hospital are no longer just patients, family members and doctors. Some are strangers who are resurrected from the dead and appear directly here. At that time, it was not only the hospital that received the notification. It should be said that the last group to receive the notification was our hospital. You can also see that we are an old hospital, next to the shantytown, the subway is being built in front, and the hospital is also under construction, the road is messed up, and it is very troublesome to get in and out. The one who came to inform us was a young man wearing a police uniform, but he wasn't necessarily a police officer. He gathered us all together, followed him, and went to the University of Finance and Economics. Everybody is going to go there and concentrate. They have found a way to save themselves. ”

The corners of Cheng Lin's mouth hooked up a mocking arc, "The self-help method they said was to fill in the courier form and send it to the people outside." According to the household registration file, as well as the memories of everyone, send express delivery to people who originally belonged to Yangshan District. As long as the other party signs for the receipt and opens the express package, it will be pulled here. Some blindly obey, some feel that they are finished, and it is not bad to drag the whole world to play together, and some people believe it. ”

"Why?" I asked.

"They've brought some people here that year. They asked those people to testify about what they were doing outside. The people outside had forgotten about us, and they only remembered after they were pulled here. They also produced some specious evidence that the situation changed after these people were brought in. The time of the cycle has changed from 24 hours a day to a 25-hour cycle. ”

Cheng Lin shook his head, "I've died several times myself. I didn't become a ghost, and the timing is uncertain. Some people don't come back to life after they die, and it's hard to calculate cycle times. The cycle of items is easy to calculate. I managed to find a living specimen. It was about the third month after the incident. The cycle was twenty-five hours. I don't believe them. ”

I think Cheng Lin's words are hidden. The reasons he insisted on were not very tenable. I didn't ask.

"After that, a lot of people started writing courier orders. There have been quite a few people who have done this before. No one knows how the courier is sent, but very few are signed. Many people outside live in Yangshan District, working and studying outside. If they lose their memories, a lot of problems will happen in their lives, and they will leave where they came. Of course, there are also people who deliberately fill in the wrong address. They don't want their relatives and friends to be tortured like this. There are very few people who can persist in this way, and by now, many people have given up. Give up continuing to send couriers, or, give up protecting your relatives and friends. Cheng Lin sighed, "In the first and second years, there are many people who can be pulled back, and in the third and fourth years, it will be difficult to find people." The longer it drags on, the more difficult it becomes. ”

"You haven't seen that ghost?"

"Nope. I heard that only those who have successfully sent the courier can be led into the interior of the University of Finance and see the ghost. Their explanation at the beginning was that for unknown reasons, the express delivery had become a loophole that could be communicated with the outside world. They also explored for a long time, and found that it was not enough to simply ask for help, and they could only use the current method to pull people in to improve the situation here. Inside the financial university, they were very tightly guarded, and they couldn't get in without permission. Another point is that there should be food and water inside the university. Those people don't have to die. Cheng Lin's eyes were gloomy, "They hide the most important thing." They are also very united. Before you know it, you're brainwashing. In five years, no one would rebel against them. ”

I heard the meaning of Cheng Lin's words.

"Have you tried to resist?"

Cheng Lin nodded, "I resisted, and then I died and was killed." "They have guns, and bullets that are refreshed every day." I also found that they deliberately sabotaged power facilities and communication equipment. He lifted his chin at the hand-cranked generator, "This is the only power generation I've found." A year ago, I wouldn't have dared to take this thing out. Now it doesn't matter. They seem to have given up, too. ”

A modern person who has lost water, electricity, and communication has lost his or her communications, and then faces the fear of the unknown, it is difficult to survive mentally.

The bottom line is that they are not really dead and do not die permanently. When they know that death is just an endless cycle, it is difficult for them to have the courage to resist.

I am well aware of this mentality.

That's why I'm so bold and adventurous in my dreams than in reality.

Therefore, after listening to Cheng Lin's words, I hesitated, not knowing what to do next.

That ghost must be hiding inside the University of Finance and Economics. To enter, but it is too difficult.

Cheng Lin can be resurrected after he dies. I'm a complete outsider, can I be resurrected after I die?

Good night everyone~
