A mob of clones

Chapter 261 Zhou Mingrui fell from the sky

Klein was distressed, really distressed.

He was worried about where he should go, how to return to his own world, what to do with Benson and Melissa if he left, and how sad his parents would be if he didn't go back.

Is he Klein or Zhou Mingrui...

Standing in the room, Zhou Mingrui looked at the black bread that he had inserted in four directions and the mutton used for sacrifice on the ground. He still felt a little hesitant...

It had been seven days since he traveled back in time. In the previous seven days, he had been stymied by various things. Finally having time in front of him, Zhou Mingrui wanted to try to see if he could return to his own world.

But when he actually started to do it, he still hesitated a little. Thinking back to the memories of Klein that were like personal experiences in his mind, and thinking about Klein's brother Ben and sister Melissa, he still hesitated. In place.

"What on earth am I supposed to do?"

As for the specific circumstances of this incident, it dates back to about a week ago...

……

The cold wind in December blows across the sky and across the earth like a slippery snake, gently blowing on the surface of the human body, slowly taking away the black hair, brown eyes, linen shirt, and thin body in the pool of blood on the ground. The young people only have a little body temperature left.

cold!

It’s so cold!

My body is so cold!

pain!

it hurts!

My chest hurts!

The bizarre dream, full of inaudible whispers, was quickly fragmented like a mirror. Zhou Mingrui, who was sleeping soundly, first felt the biting cold.

At this moment, Zhou Mingrui felt as if he had been forcibly stuffed into the freezer by someone, and the quilt on his body had been forcibly pulled away by someone, and it seemed that the person had put a basin of cold water on it before leaving. The feeling of losing body temperature rapidly made it difficult for him to breathe.

Secondly, it hurts.

Zhou Mingrui felt as if he suddenly fell off the bed. The extremely terrifying pain spread from his spine to his back, and then extended directly to his entire body.

Oh no! The pain was no longer just the feeling of falling on the bed. Zhou Mingrui's current feeling was more like being thrown directly from the roof of the building, landing on his back, and suffering a comminuted fracture... …

Under the stimulation of coldness and pain, Zhou Mingrui's brain, which was already a little groggy because he had just woken up, became even more chaotic.

The pain stimulated his nerves, causing his entire brain to become somewhat paralyzed.

Fortunately, there is a limit to a person's perception of pain. As long as it passes that threshold but does not fall into coma, the body's protective mechanism will block the body's perception of pain to a certain extent.

Therefore, after his brain was confused for about tens of seconds on the ground, Zhou Mingrui slowly broke away from the pain. To be precise, long-term pain stimulates your brain to a certain extent and becomes slightly paralyzed and numb to pain. Resistance...

"Sigh~"

"It hurts~, what's wrong with me?!"

Today is dark and blood-red. What I want most is to reach out and touch the quilt next to me. I want to stretch my body and use warmth to dispel the cold and pain.

In his mind, he should have returned to his small apartment before falling asleep, then lay on the bed and covered himself with a quilt to sleep.

Zhou Mingrui lives alone. He doesn’t have a girlfriend or roommate. He doesn’t live with his parents after work. He also locks the door before going to bed. It’s unlikely that someone living with him will pull a prank on him. Because of the condition of the quilt, he believed that he should be able to find his quilt as long as he groped around.

However, the idea was very beautiful, but the reality was very skinny. Everything seemed to be fine in Zhou Mingrui's imagination, but when it was actually implemented, he was horrified to find that he could not even control a finger of his body.

He wanted to open his eyes, reach out, touch his body, and turn over, but he couldn't do it at all. His body seemed to have completely lost control...

"This is--"

"Ghost on the bed?!"

Sleep paralysis is medically known as sleep paralysis. It is a form of sleep disorder that is common in young people and is more common in frail women, especially those who use drugs, drink too much alcohol, suffer from anxiety, depression, and mood swings. , people with insomnia or lack of sleep are prone to it.

In the past month, Zhou Mingrui's work was not going well, and there were a lot of troubles in his life. It can be said that he was under a lot of pressure, and emotional anxiety was very common. When he woke up from a dream, he often had ghosts on his bed. class situation.

Therefore, facing the current situation, I just try my best to concentrate my will to completely get rid of the shackles of darkness and psychedelics.

It was a little painful to be together. I don't know how long it took, but Zhou Mingrui finally opened his eyes.

But what appeared in front of him was not the familiar ceiling, but a patchwork of scarlet and black.

His whole body seemed to be soaked in a pool of blood, and the next centimeter was a solid road surface...

"What?!"

Looking at the ground in front of him, groups of grass and mud horses flashed past Zhou Mingrui's mind.

Zhou Mingrui, who had not yet fully woken up, saw the situation in front of him. His first reaction was to fall off the bed and hit his nose, causing nosebleeds all over the floor.

If he fell from the bed to the floor, then the coldness and physical pain in his body can be explained...

"What the hell!"

"Who's a good person and his nosebleed can spread directly to the side of the person's face?!"

"You can't lose this much even if you drain ten of my blood, right!?!"

Under the violent fluctuation of emotions, Zhou Mingrui also burst out with more powerful strength than he had gathered before. He forcefully propped up his still slightly numb arms and lifted his body from the ground.

Only then did Zhou Mingrui really see his surroundings clearly...

This is a seemingly remote alley. The surrounding walls are not high, only about two or three meters. There is only one passage leading to the end of the road.

There, Zhou Mingrui could faintly hear some noisy sounds, which should lead to a fairly prosperous commercial street.

The surrounding walls exuded a dirty, moldy smell. Even when Zhou Mingrui just stood up, he saw several gray shadows flashing past. Judging from their size, they were probably mice or cockroaches.

Looking at the environment in front of him, Zhou Mingrui's brain shut down instantly, and the three biggest philosophical questions in his life were constantly replayed in his mind.

"who am I?"

"Where do I come from?"

"What am I going to do?!"

"I'm Klein Moretti."

"Born in Tingen City, Ahowa County, Loen Kingdom, Northern Continent, a student who is about to graduate from the History Department of Hoy University..."

"My father was a sergeant in the Royal Army and died in the colonial conflict in the Southern Continent..."

"My mother was a believer in the goddess of the night and passed away three and a half years ago..."

"There is also a brother and a sister who live together in a two-bedroom apartment..."

"My brother's name is Benson Moretti, my sister's name is Melissa Moretti..."

"It's the winter vacation now, and Melissa wants to go out with her friends, so she asked me to go to the commercial street to buy some meat products and rye bread..." Listening to the voice in his ear that seemed illusory yet seemed real, Zhou Mingrui was instantly startled. Regardless of the pain and discomfort on his body, he jumped up from the ground and then looked around with vigilant eyes.

Although a long time has passed since he woke up, Zhou Mingrui's brain is still in chaos, and he has no clear thoughts at all. He doesn't understand what is happening now, let alone what the sound is about. .

But soon, as the whole person became more and more awake, the panic caused by the unfamiliar surroundings and the lack of clarity in the newly awakened brain slowly subsided, and Zhou Mingrui's IQ gradually gained ground.

At this moment, he immediately realized that the sound just now seemed not to come from the surroundings, but directly from his mind.

And these words seem to be entirely designed to answer the three questions he asked before - who am I? Where do I come from? Where am I going...

Under this situation, Zhou Mingrui soon had a different idea in his mind. A slightly absurd guess emerged in his mind, and it got out of hand.

"Me?! Could it be that I traveled through time?"

Zhou Mingrui is naturally not unfamiliar with the word time travel. As a young man in the 21st century, even if he doesn't like reading novels, watching anime, or playing games, he basically has a certain understanding of the word time travel.

Not to mention that Zhou Mingrui is not the kind of old man who doesn't engage in any entertainment projects. He has read some cartoons, novels and games in his spare time.

What about traveling to another world, traveling to ancient times, traveling to anime characters, novel characters, or even traveling into various small animals, weapons such as swords, guns, swords and halberds, vending machines, etc., you can only imagine it. There is nothing that is not available on the Internet.

With such a large number of "predecessors" in front of him, Zhou Mingrui's move is just like soul piercing a corpse, which doesn't seem to be an unacceptable thing...

"What the hell!"

"Aren't those time travelers on the Internet all alone?! I still have parents! I still have a home?!"

"It's not easy for my parents to raise me. If I, the only son, don't go back?! What will they do?!"

It’s not like Zhou Mingrui hasn’t fantasized about traveling to another world in the past. After all, men are still teenagers until they die. Which teenager hasn’t fantasized about seeing the magnificent scenery, forming an unbreakable bond with gold and stone, marrying a beautiful woman who is close to his heart, and establishing a world without borders. of great deeds.

But the premise of fantasy is that reality is worry-free. Zhou Mingrui cannot leave his aging parents behind and wander in the so-called different world peacefully...

"No! We have to find a way to go back?!"

After calming down, Zhou Mingrui reached out and touched his chest, which was the place most stained with blood. Looking at the long crack, he put his palm into the crack and touched himself gently. of chest muscles.

Zhou Mingrui's intuition told him that there seemed to be a very deep knife edge there.

But when his palm actually pressed on it, he didn't find anything.

Although the skin on the chest is not smooth and delicate, it is still perfect, and there are no expected wounds or anything like that.

But just when Zhou Mingrui was wondering about the huge contrast between intuition and reality, a string of memories suddenly entered his mind.

That was the scene where the original body was stabbed straight in the chest by a man in this alley.

The man who stabbed him was an unkempt, unshaven, skinny homeless man.

The guy seemed to be hungry. While stabbing himself with a knife, his other hand was still pulling the bag containing bread and meat...

Recalling that this seemed to be a real event that he had experienced, and it seemed that he was just playing a first-person perspective game, a memory that brought him inexplicable complicated feelings, Zhou Mingrui's face showed some confusion for no reason.

"Is this how you died?"

As if just to recall Zhou Mingrui's muttering, the next moment, another memory appeared in his mind.

In this memory, the homeless man from before seemed to have left. He took away the original bag containing the ingredients he purchased, and also took away the little change he had left on him, and even the warm jacket he was wearing. All the clothes were taken away, leaving only a thin inner lining.

If the only thing the other party didn't take away, it should be the dagger inserted in his chest...

At this time, the original body was not completely dead. Although the heart was punctured and almost took away most of the blood in the original body, and the pain in the chest almost took away most of his ability to move.

But the whole body is still some distance away from death.

Then, Zhou Mingrui fell from the sky...

……

Looking at this series of memories presented in his mind, Zhou Mingrui fell into silence.

The figure falling from the sky must be him, right?

Those clothes, those pants, that figure, even if they were burned to ashes, Zhou Mingrui would not admit they were wrong...

"so……"

Zhou Mingrui looked around and looked at the ground that could almost be said to have formed a small pool of blood. He was in a daze.

"So, all this blood was formed by the explosion of my original body?"

"I'm not wearing a soul?! I'm wearing a body?!"

The memory in my mind is not over yet.

As his body exploded into a pool of blood, Zhou Mingrui discovered that the scene in his memory had actually shifted from the first-person perspective to the third-person perspective.

From God's perspective, Zhou Mingrui saw that the long scar on the original body's chest shrank and healed at a speed visible to the naked eye under the irrigation of blood. Even the blood that exploded seemed to be separated one by one. Like small slimes that were coming, they quickly gathered towards the center and slowly squeezed towards the original body that fell to the ground.

The dagger inserted in the chest was pushed out by the squirming flesh and slid to the side.

At the same time, the third-person perspective falls from the sky and switches back to the first-person perspective.

The memories end here...

Recalling everything that had happened before, Zhou Mingrui didn't feel anything at first. After all, time travel, being special is understandable, it's just a different way.

But after a little taste, he found that something seemed not quite right...

When he first woke up, his body seemed to be lying on the ground, but in the memory, he seemed to have been lying on the same spot.

There is absolutely no possibility of misremembering this. After all, if he was lying there trying to pull the dagger out of his body, it would not be an easy task...

Since the memory is correct, there is only one possibility for this matter...

Suddenly, Zhou Mingrui shuddered all over and glanced around in surprise...

"Here just now! At least! There's one other person?!"

The next moment, a cold feeling suddenly shot up from the soles of his feet to Tianling Gai. Zhou Mingrui felt like a frog being stared at by a poisonous snake, and his whole body was stiff and difficult to move.

Zhou Mingrui suddenly turned his head, and then saw two men in black appearing behind him at some point.

They seemed to have just arrived, and they seemed to have arrived a long time ago. They didn't speak, and just stood there silently until he looked at him...

"I am Senior Inspector Dunn Smith of Tingen City. I need you to cooperate with me in my investigation..."
