Chapter 113: Novel [Thanks to the leader of Maciwell]
"Ninety-two..."
Although the phone's keyboard was blurry, Gu Mian was quite comfortable using the nine-key keyboard. He quickly pressed the buttons at the "9", "0" and "2" positions.
But the phone didn't respond.
"Isn't that how it's used?" Gu Mian fell into deep thought.
Just then, the fat man's slightly louder voice came from behind: "Hey, doctor, look at this."
Gu Mian looked back and saw that the fat man was holding a CD in his hand. The CD was reflecting light, which made Gu Mian's eyes hurt.
The fat man looked a little happy: "I found this next to the pen holder. I remember that the computer host in my house can hold CDs."
The fat man’s house corresponds to Zhao Lei’s middle school days. His house had a very broken desktop computer.
The computer didn't even have a keyboard, just a small display screen and a bulky host that could hold a CD.
Gu Mian once walked around the broken computer several times, but couldn't find the power plug. However, since this was a supernatural copy, it was normal operation for the computer to start without power.
The fat man held the CD in his hand: "This should be plugged into the computer in my room. Doctor, let's go upstairs and plug in the CD?"
Gu Mian paused: "I remember that Brother Mobile's erasing pen also came out of this room, right?"
The fat man was stunned for a moment, then nodded as if he understood something: "It seems that the clues in our house are all encrypted, and the passwords of all clues can be found in Zhao Lei's house?"
There is a piece of stained paper in Brother Mobile's house. The stains can be eliminated with the erasing pen in Zhao Lei's house.
The computer in Fatty's room cannot be turned on, but it may be able to play the disc in Zhao Lei's room.
Thinking of this, Gu Mian fell into deep thought. By analogy, the black mobile phone found in his room should also be able to be opened. As long as clues about the black mobile phone in this room are found.
The alarm clock that stopped beside the bed seemed to hint at something.
Gu Mian glanced at the stopped alarm clock again. It stopped at nine:02.
Gu Mian tried the number 902, but it didn't work.
Then the password to open the phone may be related to the three numbers 902.
"Doctor" the fat man called again: "Shall we go up first?"
It was okay to stand here in a dark voice. Gu Mian nodded and walked towards the door.
The fat man followed closely with a flashlight: "Doctor, there must be a ghost in this house, otherwise Mingliang wouldn't have been so scared just now."
Although they didn't see Mingliang's reaction before he disappeared, they heard the scream clearly.
The fat man is nothing more than a handyman. He has worked in many trades over the years.
Delivery, repairman, salesman, and worked in a slaughterhouse in the early years.
The screams that Mingliang made before disappearing were no different from those of the pigs being slaughtered in the slaughterhouse. If we had to find any difference, it would be that Mingliang's screams were slightly unpleasant.
That was exactly the cry he made before death.
Thinking of this, the fat man was silent for a few seconds: "But doctor, who do you think the ghost in this house could be?"
It is highly likely that the ghost is Zhao Lei.
But Zhao Lei was with them all the time when Mingliang died and could not kill anyone.
And there is a missing father in this house.
Until now, Gu Mian didn't know what Zhao Lei's father looked like. She only knew that he was a fierce little old man.
He is alcoholic, stingy, hates his son, and has no idea what he is doing all day long and cannot be contacted.
At this time, Xiao Zhang, who was following the two of them, suddenly said: "If there is a ghost in this house, I think it might be Zhao Lei's father."
The fat man nodded in agreement when he heard this. It seemed that he thought so too.
At this time, the three of them were already on the stairs. When they came out, they saw Zhao Lei still squatting at the door of the toilet, and they didn't know what they were thinking of.
Xiao Zhang looked behind him with a guilty conscience, and then whispered: "Zhao Lei came back this time to tell his father about his girlfriend."
"But his father obviously doesn't like his girlfriend. I guess there may have been a dispute between the two of them. Zhao Lei has been forced to breathe by his father for so many years. It would be particularly scary for such a person to break out..."
Zhao Lei's father beat and scolded him frequently and never cared about his son's life and death. He often drank and could not afford to get drunk on the street.
He never had anything to do with Zhao Lei's affairs in school. He attached great importance to money and was not willing to give anyone an extra cent. He was not even willing to pay for tuition fees, which made Zhao Lei look down upon since he was a child.
Even if his son was bullied at school, he would not pay attention and would even beat and scold Zhao Lei in return.
Later, Zhao Lei finally got rid of his father and got a girlfriend, but his father thought he had to pay for having a girlfriend, so he jumped up and down and made the two of them break up.
This is all described by Zhao Lei himself.
Normal people would go crazy if they met such a father, but Zhao Lei seemed to be quite normal.
Fatty obviously thought of Xiao Zhang together. He murmured to himself: "Zhao Lei looks so normal, maybe because he has already exploded..."
It is possible that they had a dispute and Zhao Lei suddenly broke out and killed his father.
But he regretted it afterwards and did not dare to face it, and then forced himself to lose his memory.
It is really possible to force amnesia. The scientific name is selective amnesia.
You can search it on Baidu. If a person encounters a powerful stimulus that is unacceptable to the person, then subconsciously he will choose to forget the matter, forming "selective amnesia."
However, although it seems to be forgotten on the surface, its shadow still exists.
When you do things, you will be affected by that matter unconsciously. You may not even understand it, and it will gradually become a knot in your mind.
And Zhao Lei's various behaviors are very consistent with the above conditions.
His memory is a little biased. Sometimes he will think of something and be affected by the memory, but he will not acknowledge that part of the memory.
Fatty had asked him before if anyone had died in this house, and Zhao Lei's answer was very uncertain, indicating that he subconsciously remembered that someone had died in this house.
Thinking of this, the fat man looked at Gu Mian: "Doctor, do you think it is possible? In fact, Zhao Lei's father is dead and was killed by Zhao Lei, but Zhao Lei did not want to admit this, so he selectively
Forgot about it"
"But Zhao Lei's father still has grievances. You think he was such a bad person before, and he would turn into a ghost to take revenge after he died. So I think the ghost in this house should be Zhao Lei's father."
Gu Mian touched his chin: "Zhao Lei's father is probably dead, but what I'm curious about is if the guess is true, where is his body?"
It can't just disappear into thin air.
Of course, since the mountain is so big, it might be possible to just dig a hole and bury it.
But mobile and Chu Changge also disappeared out of thin air. Where did they go?
It can't be swallowed up by this house, right?
The fat man was also obviously confused about this matter: "Yes, there is no body of his father here. Brother Chu and the others also disappeared out of thin air. Neither the body nor the missing people can be found..."
When he said this, he suddenly reacted and opened his eyes wide: "I'm talking to the doctor, are you, Brother Chu, and the others now together with the body of Zhao Lei's father?"
In a place we can't find.
Gu Mian nodded slightly: "It's possible, and this missing place is probably the key to escaping from here."
Simply entering and exiting here does not count as escaping from Horror Mountain Villa.
Even if they were chased and escaped, they might not have escaped from the Horror Villa, because they all heard the bright screams when they ran out, which was definitely not the scream of joy after completing the mission.
"Based on the current situation, I think there are two possibilities." Gu Mian stretched out two fingers:
"The first possibility is that the mission is for us to escape from the Horror Villa, but the place we are now is not the villa mentioned in the mission at all, so no matter how we enter or exit, the mission is not completed. The place where the body of Zhao Lei's father is most likely to be found is
The real horror house”
"The second possibility is that the world we are in now is contained by the 'Hill of Horror', so whether you escape from the gate or climb out of the mountain, it does not count as escaping, because the entire world is inside the 'Hill of Horror'..."
So you may not quite understand, let me give you an example."
"If we are in a novel now, and this novel is now on the bookshelf of "Horror Hill", then no matter how we escape in the novel, we cannot escape from the real "Horror Hill"
"Because we will always be in this novel, and this novel will always be on the shelf of 'Horror Hill'."
Fatty suddenly realized: "So if we want to escape, we must first get out of this novel?"
