Ronin: Start with the cotton

Chapter 149 Chapter 149 Science VS Metaphysics!

Five people nestled in Ludi's tiny apartment,
Qiao Shan told his guess, which surprised everyone present.

Among them, Lu Di reacted the most, looking at the two little cats excitedly for a while, flipping through the strange manuscript for a while, muttering something in his mouth: "No, it's not even August yet, why did it appear? What about multi-organism cycles?" and so on.

"August?"

Several people heard Lu Di's words and looked at him one after another.

Qiao Shan also looked at Lu Di unexpectedly, thinking in his heart, could this patient with the second illness be a hidden boss?

"What's wrong with August?" Li Shiqing asked in confusion.

Lu Di put the manuscript in his hand on the table, pointed to the number 8 on it, and explained: "August is the peak period of the cycle, but it's only May now. Moreover, not only did you enter the cycle in May, It’s not a single-person cycle, and even cats have entered the cycle, which is too strange!”

"Cycle in August???"

Li Shiqing looked at Qiao Shan, trying to seek verification, but did not get an answer.

Qiao Shan looked at the number 8 on the hand-painted book, and frowned.

Is there any special relationship between the time loop and August?

Have other cyclical events happened in this world before?
Xiao Heyun on the side sighed, poking at the tricky Lu Di, and explained: "Cycles happen in anime, usually in summer, like "Summer Wars", "The Girl Who Leapt Through Time", and "You The name of " and so on... Because the number 8 is infinite when viewed backwards, anime nerds generally believe that traveling through time and space and time loops often occurs in August."

Li Shiqing's eyes lit up: "That's right!"

Qin Rourou nodded thoughtfully: "It seems to make sense!"

……

Qiao Shan: "..."

Dry!
I'm really brain teasing,
To believe that this guy really understands time loops.

Qiao Shan rolled his eyes, sat down on the sofa in the corner, took out the paper and pen, recalled the situation in the car, and drew everyone's seats at the end.

He always felt that the key to unlocking the time loop must be on the bus!
It's just that he hasn't discovered the key point yet.

One cat was outside the car, one cat was in the car, two cats died at the same time...

except this,

What else have you overlooked?

He looked up at the few people who were discussing enthusiastically, thought for a while, and first wrote Li Shiqing's name under "Double Cat Quantum Entanglement", hesitated for a moment, and then wrote Xiao Heyun's name.

……

The three of Lu Di and Xiao Heyun moved from cycle to animation, and then from animation to games.

"You make games?" Lu Di happily looked at Xiao Heyun, and said enthusiastically, "I've always wanted to make games!"

"From now on, we will be teammates in circles, thank you for your trust in me, come on, let's drink!"

"Okay! Cheers!" Li Shiqing raised her soda to welcome Lu Di.

Xiao Heyun looked at Qiao Shan from the side, saw that he had been drawing with his head down, without any reaction, then looked at Li Shiqing who was smiling happily, snorted softly, and poured cold water on:

"Cut, you may not be able to enter the cycle!"

Lu Di said confidently: "I will definitely be able to enter the cycle!"

"The opportunity to save the world is reserved for those who are prepared! Obviously, I am ready, and Master and his elders also agree with me!"

"No, when did he agree..." Xiao Heyun looked at Qiao Shan, saw that he still didn't respond, and changed his words: "We're not saving the world, we're saving the bus, okay?"

Li Shiqing: "What's wrong with the bus? Are there many people on the bus?"

Lu Di has acquiesced that he will definitely be able to enter the cycle, and he doesn't care about Xiao Heyun's doubts, and continues to talk about his thoughts:
"Wait until the next cycle, I will get in the car to meet you. It's a pity... If the map is bigger, our degree of freedom will be higher. In this way, we will have more weapons and skills. During the day, I and Master learns kung fu, you can continue to study and work, and everyone has free time to fall in love! We will fight at night, just like P5!"

"Uh, what... what is P5?" Li Shiqing raised her hand in doubt and asked.

Xiao Heyun felt left out by the side, so he interjected lightly:

"game."

Lu Di disagreed: "Speak carefully, P5 is the number one game in the world!"

Xiao Heyun: "Zelda is the sky."

Lu Di was in a hurry: "No, have you ever played games..."

……

"Enough, you guys!"

Qiao Shan raised his head helplessly, "It's getting dark today, and if you have the time to bicker, can you check the customers in the car on the surveillance camera first, and see who brought the bomb into the car?"

"I can tell you that when we fall asleep at night, we have to start all over again."

He looked at Qin Rourou who was sitting next to him silently watching the play, and said, "Don't be idle even if you are a great writer, and help them check, none of these guys are reliable!"

Qin Rourou smiled and said, "Okay."

"By the way." Qiao Shan stopped Qin Rourou who was about to get up again: "You looked very anxious on the phone before, is there something wrong?"

"Oh! I forgot!"

Qin Rourou's complexion suddenly changed, she looked at Qiao Shan nervously, and hurriedly said: "The sender seems to have had an accident with the delivery you asked me to return at noon, and it was a little girl who answered the phone, saying that the courier owner can't answer the phone right now. , let me call back later."

"what?!"

"what?!"

Xiao Heyun looked at Qiao Shan, and said angrily: "I said why you didn't bring me a courier this time, but you sent it back to me when you co-authored it! You are too... so easy, you can't continue to bring it to me ?"

Qiao Shan rolled his eyes: "The time loop is not over yet, why should I bring it here for you!"

Too lazy to talk to Xiao Heyun, Qiao Shan looked at Qin Rourou, frowned and said, "Something happened, what happened?"

Qin Rourou shook her head: "I don't know."

"Xiao Heyun, who is your courier sender, do you know him?" Qiao Shan looked at Xiao Heyun and said seriously, "This is very important!"

Seeing Qiao Shan's serious expression, Xiao Heyun didn't dare to make jokes, and said honestly, "I don't know, I bought a second-hand camera, and I only communicated with him a few times through the forum."

"Oh, that's right!" Xiao Heyun remembered something, and said, "I've read the other party's information, and that person seems to be a doctor from the No. 1 civilian hospital in the county below. His surname is Jiang, and he is a middle-aged man."

Qiao Shan's face immediately changed: "The No.1 civilian hospital in the county! Male! Doctor Jiang! Are you sure?"

Xiao Heyun nodded: "Yes, it's Dr. Jiang."

……

"This...does the time loop have something to do with this person?" Li Shiqing whispered.

Qiao Shan shook his head, looked around at the few people, and suddenly smiled wryly: "I only told you to call me Qiao Shan. But what I didn't say is...my current name on the ID card is: Song Budao."

"Song Budao's courier...the undeliverable courier..."

That's it!

Qiao Shan stated slowly: "I have seen the news about Dr. Jiang before, and you should be able to find it on the local news website now. He is a pediatric orthopedic surgeon. Because he rescued a child before, there was no time to send it to the city. , can only amputate the child’s limb to save his life.”

"The child's father is a butcher. He thought that Dr. Jiang was a quack doctor, which caused his child to lose a leg. So he broke into the hospital with a machete at one o'clock this afternoon and killed Dr. Jiang..."

"Hiss!" Everyone gasped.

This is too scary!
……

No wonder I get stuck in a time loop.

The sender and the recipient died at the same time. As the courier who delivered the courier, his name was "Song Budao". It would be strange if this did not enter the loop!

Xiao Heyun - Doctor Jiang!

Pippi - the little cat!

Qiao Shan looked at the bus seat map on the notebook, and drew an upside-down number 8 in the blank space next to it. His thoughts were racing, his brows were furrowed, and he silently wrote a few words next to him with a black oil-based pen.

Several people at the scene looked at Qiao Shan's serious look, and they didn't dare to show their breath. The scene was silent, only the sound of two little tabby cats fighting.

"wrong!"

Qiao Shan shook his head, crossed out the words he wrote just now, looked at Xiao Heyun, hesitated for a moment, and ordered: "Xiao Heyun, don't start investigating suspects from the departure station, the murderer should still be in the car at the end, go directly Review from behind to see if we can find the murderer!"

Xiao Heyun was startled: "You mean... the murderer didn't get out of the car, but was killed with us?"

Qiao Shan nodded, "Yes! The murderer must have been killed!"

Xiao Heyun was confused: "But why... how did you know?"

Qiao Shan: "Intuition!"

Everyone: "..."

In fact, of course it is not just intuition, Qiao Shan just thinks it is too complicated to explain, and there is no time to explain it now.

"In short, let's start the final investigation directly before the explosion. Although the explosion was too fast to locate the source of the explosion, the murderer must be someone in the car!"

Xiao Heyun: "Okay, let's try..."

……

Time passed little by little.

Seven o'clock...eight o'clock...nine o'clock...ten o'clock...eleven o'clock...

The people present had already fallen asleep unknowingly. Xiao Heyun, with two panda eyes on his head, knocked his head on the coffee table, and finally fell on the table powerlessly.

They still haven't pinpointed the killer.

At this time, Qiao Shan had dozens of pieces of paper scattered around the sofa. Hearing the movement, he raised his head, looked at the few people with red eyes, and couldn't help sighing.

He has been consuming brain cells like this, and even he can't hold it anymore.

"It's coming soon..."

Qiao Shan tore off the A4 paper on the clipboard, pursed his lips, and drew the bus location map again.

Because he has drawn many times, Qiao Shan's painting style has gradually become abstract, the bus looks like a big pumpkin, and the images of everyone have gradually become stick figures.

Except for himself, I am afraid that Van Gogh would not be able to see what he painted when he was alive.

suddenly!Qiao Shan's eyes froze!
"This...this is..."

Qiao Shan looked at the picture in his hands, and his hands trembled a little!
He hadn't had time to draw the stick figures of Xiao Heyun and Li Shiqing, nor had he drawn himself, but at this moment, looking at the abstract painting, he seemed to suddenly understand something!
"Excluding Li Shiqing and Xiao Heyun, there are still eight people in the car!"

"Open, Rest, Health, Injury, Du, Scenery, Surprise, and Death! The positions of these eight people are exactly the same as the eight doors of the human body!"

"Eight people are one person, and everyone in the world!"

"Hahaha! I know how to break this time loop!"

That's it!

It turns out that this is the mystery of the time loop!

……

boom!
The door was slammed open with a heavy blow!

Lao Zhang led the charge with a pistol in hand, followed by several police officers, including his apprentice Jiang Feng.

"Don't move! Raise your hands!"

Qiao Shan glanced at Lao Zhang, showed a relieved smile, tilted his head, and fell into a deep sleep...
