Chapter 143 The Key to the Door
The school infirmary is full of people coming and going, obviously not a good place to talk about things.
Shen Yongle sent a text message to Jiang Chi, asking him to take a leave of absence, using an excuse to go home to recuperate, and followed Yan Ye and Lu Fanqi back to Yan Ye's hospital.
When everyone passed by the center of the town, they saw a statue.
Lu Fanqi has not recovered from the psychological shadow just left, and now he keeps a respectful distance from all statues and other things, Yan also took a look, and soon came back to share the information with his friends.
"Andrey Kolmogorov."
Lu Fanqi looked confused: "Who?"
Shen Yongle frowned slightly, obviously he knew this person long ago.
"The discoverer of zero uniformity," he explained.
It was inconvenient for him to talk too much, but fortunately, Yan also knew the relevant information, so he finished it for him.
"Kolmogorov's uniform zero is a law in probability theory."
Yan also directly recited the original text of the law, "The probability of some events happening is either almost one or almost zero. Such events are called 'tail events'."
Lu Fanqi: "???"
Why do you know every word, but you can't read it together? !
Shen Yongle was a little dumbfounded, so he had to type an example on his mobile phone.
There is a more famous example of zero uniformity, the "infinite monkey theorem", from a book on probability published by Emil Borel in 1909.
This theorem says: If an infinite number of monkeys randomly type together for an infinite period of time, they must be able to type an entire Shakespeare essay.
Lu Fanqi finally understood this time, and nodded: "Oh, I know this! There is a similar concept in the theory of infinite universes. It probably means that assuming there are infinite parallel universes, then all incredible coincidences may be in one of them. happened simultaneously."
Shen Yongle and Yan Ye were originally just recalling issues related to probability theory, but when they heard this, they seemed to think of something, and both were taken aback.
After a while, Shen Yongle couldn't help shaking his head with a smile, and rubbed the head of the beautiful boy.
Yan Ye raised the corners of her lips, glanced casually at the sky, nodded and said, "Yes...this should be the chosen universe you mentioned, and the statue of Andre and the name of the town are hints to us. "
Probably affected by several accidents when they first entered the dungeon, several people felt that these "coincidences" must not be the pleasant kind, and they all speeded up their pace.
The trio quickly arrived at the hospital.
Yan Ye rushed to the church to rescue Lu Fanqi when he saw the photo before, and before he had time to search the hospital, the three of them didn't waste time, and started searching the hospital while discussing.
This is a small two-story building, not so much a hospital as a small town clinic.
The first floor is the doctor's consultation room and two wards, and the second floor is the room where Yan Ye lives.
In addition to Yan Ye, there is a doctor and a nurse in the whole clinic. They are a couple who live near the clinic.
Several people quickly discovered the problem from the messy materials on the desk in the consulting room.
"The cemetery..." Shen Yongle pointed to the handwriting on the paper and showed it to Yan Ye and Lu Fanqi. His tongue hurt so badly that it was not easy to say such a word.
Yan Ye took a look at the documents, and immediately frowned: "The cemetery was turned upside down...the corpse was stolen?"
Lu Fanqi heard the words and came over: "Did you also receive this news? I also found relevant clues in the church before."
The three of them looked at each other and understood that this was probably one of the key clues.
Shen Yongle thought for a while, and typed four more words in the memo - resurrection experiment.
"It should be," Yan Ye nodded, "In the context of Cthulhu, I can only think of the resurrection experiment."
Lu Fanqi is quite familiar with this point, and quickly agreed with this view: "In the "Charles Dexter Ward Incident" where Yog Sothoth first appeared, Curwen used a mysterious magic to make the dead The resurrection of human beings, in Lovecraft's early work "Herbert West - The Resurrection of the Corpse", it is directly digging out the newly buried corpse from the grave for experimentation, but the process leads to So many surprises…”
Lu Fanqi originally just gave some supporting evidence, but stopped talking here, but Yan Ye took a look and said, "What accident? Tell me more specifically?"
Shen Yongle understood that he was worried that all these "accidents" would happen again in the near future because he considered the particularity of this dungeon world.
Lu Fanqi asked what to say, and quickly told what he knew: "I don't really remember, it was written by Lovecraft in his early years. In my impression, they will fight against the old man who died in the plague. The professor was used in the resurrection experiment, which turned him into a man-eating monster, causing several deaths, and the people who were 'resurrected' several times after that also caused riots or casualties."
He thought for a while, and then added: "I remember that the first resurrection experiments caused explosions or fires, and the corpses disappeared..."
When he said normal things, Shen Yongle suddenly stood up abruptly.
Lu Fanqi paused, and immediately stood up vigilantly, following his gaze and looking out: "What's wrong?"
Shen Yongle didn't even bother typing on the phone, so he turned to look at Yan Ye: "Is there anyone upstairs?"
Yan Ye was startled: "Probably not, I live alone, and I don't raise any small animals."
Shen Yongle has already stepped up and walked towards the stairs, explaining briefly while walking: "I heard a voice."
The three of them quickly climbed up the stairs and searched the second floor.
Sure enough, it is exactly as Yan Ye said, not only there are no people, but there are also no small animals.
They discovered the source of the "sound" that Shen Yongle said, it should be a vase placed by the window was blown to the ground by the wind.
"But," Lu Fanqi squatted on the ground, observing the glass vase, and the flowers that were originally inserted in it were now scattered all over the ground, "There is still water in this vase, it should not be so easy to be blown, how could it be?" Suddenly fell from the window sill? There is no passage for small animals to come by here..."
Yan is also observing the curtains: "It should be pushed down by the wind blowing the curtains, and there is water here."
He pointed to a water stain on the curtain for the remaining two to see, and it was still scratched a little by flower branches.
Logically speaking, there is nothing worthy of repeated study. Most likely, the curtains were hooked by the flowers in the vase, forming a temporary sail, which was then filled by the wind that intended to break through into the house. The vase was finally overwhelmed, and the Fell off the window sill.
But—the other windows in the house are closed at this time, only this one window is opened, there is no convective air, it should be difficult for too much wind to blow into the house from here.
The sky outside the house was already overcast at this time, and the fog started from nowhere, and the fog spread and engulfed the distant world little by little, and the branches and leaves of the trees were motionless...
There was no wind.
But maybe it happened that a gust of wind passed by just now?
"so……"
Lu Fanqi looked at his friends uncertainly, "Is this really a coincidence?"
"No." Shen Yongle shook his head without thinking.
He couldn't say why, he just instinctively felt that something was wrong.
It's like the cry you hear when you swallow glass shards on the playground...
Like the photo saved in Yan Ye and Lu Fanqi's phone album...
Like——every time the subconscious mind finds something is wrong, it tries to call the police to remind him to avoid the danger quickly.
The pain in his mouth made him unable to communicate smoothly with his teammates, making Shen Yongle even more anxious.
He turned his head to look into the house frequently, searching for potential safety hazards over and over again, not knowing how to convince the other two people to trust his intuition.
Yan also obviously agrees with him: "There is no problem with the window sill, but it doesn't mean that there is no problem in this room... This should be a reminder for us."
Lu Fanqi is not as sharp as the two of them in some aspects, but he has always been a good comrade who obeys orders. Hearing this, he immediately became vigilant: "Then should we quickly search the house?"
He turned around and was about to walk into the house, but before he could take a step, someone grabbed his wrist.
Shen Yongle's complexion was not good, and she dragged him to go downstairs: "It's too late..."
"Hey?!" Lu Fanqi was a little astonished, "Are you leaving? But the house hasn't been searched yet?"
Shen Yongle didn't talk to him much, just tightly clutching his wrist, pulling him downstairs, his pace getting more and more urgent.
He turned his head to confirm that Yan Ye was also following him, so he was completely relieved, and he stepped up his steps and started running directly.
"hurry up!"
Lu Fanqi didn't expect him to run suddenly. When he walked through the corridor, his center of gravity was unsteady, and he almost tripped his left foot with his right foot. Yan Ye, who followed closely behind, helped him to escape the tragic fate of falling on the ground.
Before Lu Fanqi recovered, his instincts had already begun to run.
The three of them ran from the second floor to the outside of the house with their butts on fire, then ran directly across a road, and ran until the next intersection before stopping panting heavily.
"What, what's going on?" Lu Fanqi looked confused, "What's in that room..."
Before he finished speaking, he only heard a "boom" after the sound.
The deafening explosion sounded behind him, and Lu Fanqi's screams were completely covered by the sound.
However, this was not over yet. The second explosion soon followed. It seemed that it was under the street in front of the hospital. It was so fierce that it directly lifted the sewer manhole cover and smashed it hard on the outer wall of the neighboring house.
Then came a series of third and fourth sounds along the road...
Lu Fanqi didn't have time to react, he was already pushed to the ground by Shen Yongle and Yan Ye.
Shen Yongle even jumped on him directly.
The surrounding earth trembled.
But fortunately, Lu Fanqi's luck probably played a role. The series of natural gas pipeline explosions passed them by, and none of them directly hit the area where they were located.
After a while, the explosion was completely over, leaving only a buzzing sound in Lu Fanqi's ears.
With a face full of astonishment, he got up disheveled, first checked that Shen Yongle and Yan Ye were not injured, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
Even though he couldn't hear anything, Lu Fanqi couldn't help asking.
"What was that just now?!"
Like him, Yan also couldn't hear anything, and understood his question completely through the shape of his mouth and expression.
"Natural gas leaked." He said simply, guessing that the stove was ignited and the gas was not turned off, and the house was not well ventilated, and it exploded when it accumulated to a certain concentration.
Shen Yongle also patted the ashes off his body and stood up.
Seeing that his complexion was different, in addition, both of them cast caring eyes.
Shen Yongle directly held up the thing that made him look bad and showed it to the two of them.
It was an item card of [Aksha], but it had already turned gray and became invalid.
At the very moment, he wasn't sure whether the three of them could escape the explosion. He originally wanted to use the item card to increase safety, but he didn't want to take out the card and found that [Aksha] was no longer available.
The three of them looked at each other, their faces slightly gloomy.
This is obviously not good news.
Either the item card has usage restrictions in this dungeon, or it can only mean...
This card has been used in the previous week.
And in this dungeon, even though they may have experienced several resets, there is still only one chance to use the item card.
