Chapter 256 Fortunately, I Am More Skilled
The desperate writer has two choices before Xun Xi, to believe in prediction, or not to believe it.
If he believed in precognition, then Xun Xi should think of ways to break the situation based on the premise that "he needs to die once." If you don’t believe it, you have to find another way.
But here's the thing.
Chen Mo's prediction novel is consistent with the ending of Future Diary to some extent. In Future Diary, he was chased to the mass grave outside the inn, then killed, and finally ended. In Chen Mo's prophetic novel, he was also chased to a mass grave and then killed.
".Um?"
(etc!)
Xun Xi looked shocked, and then quickly recalled the content of the prediction novel he had just read, and then compared it with his future diary.
Granted, he dies in the end of both.
But the way to die is different!
"In the future diary, I should have been killed by the True Monarch who chased me to death, and there was no mention of the endings of Wu Mao and Chen Mo. But in the precognition novel, in order to send everyone else out of the Ghost Gate Inn, I , and ended up dying by suicide rather than being killed!”
Xun Xi discovered the blind spot.
What is the difference between committing suicide and being killed? If you really need to die once to escape, what rules can you circumvent by committing suicide?
Or is there no difference.
Are they all traps?
The more Xun Xi thought about it, the more he felt numb. The desperate writer was really talented at doing things, and the things he did were clearly disgusting.
"Fortunately, I was prepared."
"Open Gaika!"
I saw Xun Xi reaching out and summoning a piece of yellowed human skin from the supernatural poker, and then making a gesture to Wu Maang. Wu Maang understood immediately, and then pulled out a keyboard from his backpack. The keyboard was placed on the ground, and Xun Xi slowly placed the human skin on the keyboard.
Key fairy! (See Chapter 74 for details)
Xun Xi has the only tool that can predict the future. Although he has a more powerful future diary, Xun Xi still brought it with him when he went out this time.
Don't ask, asking means being steady.
After summoning the Key Immortal, the keyboard covered by the Key Immortal trembled slightly. Obviously, it didn't seem to like the environment of the Ghost Gate Inn very much.
But Xun Xi didn't care.
[Key Immortal, answer my question. 】
Xun Xi put his hands on the keyboard and typed out these words. Under normal circumstances, after being awakened, the Key Immortal will control Xun Xi's hands and erode Xun Xi's body at the same time. However, this time, after Xun Xi finished typing, Jianxian showed no sign of response.
Not going to answer?
Xun Xi took out the dog-headed guillotine, made several gestures at Jianxian, then pressed the knife next to Jianxian, and then put his hand on the keyboard again.
[Key Immortal, answer my question. 】
This time Keysen finally responded.
【.What do you want to ask? 】
That's pretty much it. Xun Xi nodded with satisfaction and continued typing: [I want to know what the time cycle rules of this inn are. 】
Xun Xi didn't ask about the future.
After all, precognition is the domain of desperate writers. Last time Keysen only touched the future diary and then went on strike, which shows that its ability is still limited. Therefore, Xun Xi did not force it to predict the future, but took a different approach and chose to ask about the rules of the time cycle of the Ghost Gate Inn.
This is the advantage of Keysen.
Although the future diary can predict the future, the information provided may not be accurate because he may make wrong judgments in the future.
But Keysen is different.
It may have limited ability to predict the future, but the information it provides is absolutely accurate.
What Xun Xi has to do now is to seize Jianxian's location advantage, form a tipping point by switching tracks, and finally form a dimensionality reduction blow to the sinking market.
"Kacha!"
As soon as Xun Xi finished asking, the skin of the Jianxian quickly began to change. The original Jianxian was soft, but now it began to gradually become hard, and cracks began to appear. Seeing that Jianxian couldn't hold on any longer, Xun Xi quickly picked up the dog-headed guillotine and swung it hard a few times.
Key Immortal: "."
In this way, until the cracks covered half of Jianxian's area, Jianxian finally moved, and lines of blood words appeared on the ground.
【Time here is a circle. 】
[No matter who it is, the method of leaving has been determined the moment after entering the inn. Because people who enter the inn will be sent to the past inn. Every move you make in the past will determine whether you successfully leave the inn in the future or whether you will stay in the inn forever. 】
He doesn't talk much, but every word is full of tears.
Seeing this, Xun Xi couldn't help but wipe away her tears, feeling a little distressed. Then she quickly picked up the key immortal and comforted her, "Thank you for your hard work."
Keysen: "!!!"
I saw that the key fairy's skin was windless and automatic, and it seemed that he wanted to type some curse words, but because there was no keyboard, he had to give up in the end.
On the other side, Xun Xi has gradually understood everything.
"I'm in [the past] now."
Xun Xi remembered the description in Chen Mo's prophetic novel. After they escaped to the mass grave, they did not see the traces left behind when they came, but saw the coffins of Renwang and his companions. From Yuan Xiao's description, Xun Xi learned that the time when King Ren came to the inn was a year ago.
And every move in the past will determine the future outcome.
The reason why he couldn't be resurrected outside after dying in the inn was because his death would make him trapped in the inn forever a year later!
This is a logical chain.
At first, he and Wu Mao Chen Mo appeared in the mass grave at a normal time, but after entering the inn, he came to the inn a year ago. After coming out, we went to the mass graves from a year ago, so we encountered the coffins from when Nioh and others came.
Then here comes the problem.
When he first came to the inn, how did he stay in the inn? Is it because he has paper ingots, and where did he get the paper ingots?
That coffin! (See Chapter 236 for details)
Xun Xi suddenly recalled that when he first came to the inn, when he rushed out of the overlapping coffins, he found that there was an extra coffin.
There were only three people, but there were four coffins. In the fourth coffin at the top, he found the paper ingot. It was precisely because of the paper ingot that he was not killed when the lights went out in the inn. It can be said that the paper ingot is the key to his ability to stay in the inn.
So what if there is no paper ingot?
If he had not found the paper ingot in the fourth coffin, or even had no fourth coffin at all, what would have been his ending?
The lights go out in the inn, and he may be left in the inn forever.
So someone needs to bring the paper ingot to the original self.
who's that person?
".It's me!"
Xun Xi finally figured it out. Why did he predict that he would commit suicide in the novel? Because if he was killed by the True Monarch of Wong Death, the True Monarch of Wong Death would not be kind enough to put him in the coffin. Only suicide! And by committing suicide using a murder game, he could calmly arrange his death!
For example - dying in a coffin with a paper ingot.
In this way, a year later he can get the paper ingot and stay in the inn. This completes the cycle of time and the closed loop of the logical chain.
If you don't do this, the logic chain will become: "Because he died in the coffin a year ago without taking the paper ingot, so a year later he was trapped in the inn forever, so he cannot be resurrected."
But if you do this, the logic chain will become: "Because he died in the coffin with the paper ingot a year ago, and he successfully entered the inn a year later, and he was resurrected after his death!"
Of course this is just speculation.
Xun Xi still needs evidence.
"."
Closing her eyes, Xun Xi immediately began to concentrate and returned her attention to the clone on the Tianzihao floor. Then she used her clairvoyance ability and looked at the True Monarch who died in vain in front of her without any evil thoughts.
as expected.
On the inner side of the clothes of Renwang who was attached to the True Monarch who was killed in vain, Xun Xi saw a gold ingot folded from white paper.
".Fortunately, I'm more skilled!"
