Weird Regulator

Ji Li turned the desk lamp to the brightest and looked at his face in the mirror.

This face is calm and almost numb, and his eyes are indifferent and dull, like a frozen portrait, thin and monotonous.

Only the restless hair on both sides swayed slightly, adding some dynamic changes to this portrait.

It had been a long time since he had taken a good look at his face.

This time, through the orange lamp in the Tiannan guard room, he realized that he seemed to be old.

It's not the appearance that's old, it's just the look.

Ji Li couldn't remember the last time his eyes were sharp. His eyes seemed to be getting weaker and weaker, without much exciting light.

He thoughtfully put the mirror back on the table and lit a cigarette for himself when he raised his head.

The sound of burning tobacco overlaps with the sound of snow falling outside the window, neither strong nor weak, nor high or low.

This mission has ended here, and the work belonging to the store clerks has been completed.

There was a ghost in the Tiannan Drama Academy who was brought back to the seventh branch by Ji Li. The foundation was not shaken and the root ghost was not attracted.

Ji Li blew out a round smoke ring, looked closely at Tiannan College from the circle, and closed his eyes tiredly.

From this moment on, his identity changed dramatically.

Ji Li is the double store manager of the Seventh and Tenth branches, and the sole dean of the Tiannan Academy of Drama.

He not only controls two branches of Tianhai, but also controls the huge supernatural place of Tiannan College in the palm of his hand.

He had powers that others could never imagine.

For example, at this moment, he was sitting in the guard room at the main entrance of Wugui Academy, with the cotton hat Zhu Xiaoning left behind on the table.

But under his command, the seventy-seven men in black in the Ghost Academy are ignoring the rules and forcibly purging all ghosts.

Not just to ghosts, but to people as well.

The first person to die was named Lu Jingting. She came from the Seventh Branch.

After the man in black arrived, she didn't even resist. Knowing that the outcome was decided, she was killed instantly.

The name Lu Jingting will never appear in the past, present, and future of this world again. Everything has been wiped clean.

No one will remember that this obedient girl tried to speak for Yu Guo with a feeble strength while ten people stood by and watched.

But she still died in Ji Li's hands.

She is innocent in this matter, but there are no innocent people in this world.

Chen Xu died miserably.

He was not one to sit still and wait to be killed, so he kept running and Ji Li did not kill him immediately.

But every time he saw Chen Xu, a bloody hole would be poked in Chen Xu's body by the man in black's umbrella.

This death process lasted for two hours, and it was not until three minutes ago that he died in the E-3 building of the Ghost Academy.

Before Chen Xu died, he seemed to have something to say, but Ji Li didn't hear it and wasn't interested.

Ji Li was convinced that he had calmed down, so he returned to the spot where Zhu Xiaoning once sat in Wugui Academy, waiting for a "person".

Between the men in black's extensive search for Moran and Song Yitong, he still had a lot to figure out.

Such as root ghosts, such as Zhuo Lian's ending...

The snow had been falling for a long time, as if it had lasted a lifetime. When it weakened slightly, a black booklet appeared in front of Ji Li's desk.

The lights in the guard room became brighter at this moment, replacing the moon under the dark clouds, releasing a warm light.

Under the light, there is a pair of round wedding rings on the cover of the black leather booklet, shining like silver crescent moons, which seems to represent eternity and reunion.

This is a picture album, not too thick and not many pages.

With a normal expression, Ji Li opened the black book to the first page, which contained the truth he wanted.

…

October 27, 2014.

Yu Guo carried a backpack full of emergency items in his hand and walked from the bedroom to the living room, and then from the living room to the door.

After the new house dried, every breath he took still carried the smell of decoration. For this home where everything was brand new, he looked at every corner before going out.

He took a deep breath and slowly opened the door, but before leaving, he turned back reluctantly.

On the wall of the living room is a group photo that was just hung up last night.

A man with a sunny smile and a woman with happiness written all over her face.

…

Ji Li saw very important prerequisite information on the first page of the album.

October 27, 2014 was the first time Yu Guo performed his mission at Tiannan College.

This truth is very different from the story he once described to Ji Li.

After the mission in Bogu Building, Yu Guo told Ji Li that the person who went out on October 27, 2014 was Zhuo Lian, not him.

…

The second page of the album shows 20 thick-lined figures standing in front of the main entrance of Tiannan Academy of Drama on a snowy night similar to today;

On the third page of the album, six people with different looks gathered together to discuss something. Yu Guo was watching them in the corner;

On the fourth page of the album, Yu Guo is holding a corpse covered in blood, staring at the sky, with the teaching building of the Film School behind him;

On the fifth page of the picture album, four storyboards are spliced ​​together to show that they are going on at the same time, namely the library, canteen, boys' and girls' dormitories.

…

Ji Li took a closer look at the fifth page. He saw some familiar faces on this page.

This page uses a close-up approach, and the details of the characters are extremely exquisite. You can see the different expressions on their faces, as well as the landmarks of the places where they are located.

But the overall atmosphere was depressing and uneasy.

There is no picture of Yu Guo in this part. The familiar faces are the crying ghost, the black figure, Li Cheng and the long-haired senior.

Among them, the crying ghost is a thin and short woman. She is very inconspicuous walking alone among the bookshelves.

…

On the sixth page of the album, after the sky lightened up, six more people squatted together and met.

The black figure from last night has disappeared, and another unfamiliar face has been added, and Yu Guo also joined the group of six.

But he was the only one in the crowd who stood up. His expression was angry, as if he was yelling at something.

On the seventh page of the album, Yu Guo and two strangers were quickly shuttled through the staff office building, as if searching for something.

On the eighth page of the album, Yu Guo and another person are rummaging for something in an office. At the same time, there is another person hiding at the door to look out. On the office door is written "Personnel Department".

On the ninth page of the album, 16 people appeared this time. Everyone was excited. A strange woman spoke impassionedly and seemed to be the leader among these people.

…

On page nine, Ji Li has discovered some abnormalities.

This picture album is basically drawn from Yu Guo's perspective, so his depiction accounts for 90%. Even on the third page, where Yu Guo is hidden in the corner, there is also a detailed facial depiction.

But on page nine, everyone's faces, including Yu Guo's, were a blur, and only this strange woman was the most vivid.

Ji Li guessed that this woman should be the real leader of that mission, and page nine was probably a decision-making meeting before a big operation.

This action was most likely the direct reason why all members of the mission were wiped out, so this woman was regarded as the protagonist of this page.

Ji Li calmly turned to the tenth page of the album, but the content on this page caused a slight change in his expression.

On the tenth page of the album, in Yu Guo's new house, a young woman with a face full of anxiety and panic is wearing a coat while talking on the phone.

She seemed to have something urgent to go out immediately, and this was definitely not a good thing.

…

This page is almost exactly the same as the version that Yu Guo told, except that the characters in the plot have a huge reversal.

The missing person turned out not to be Ah Lian, but Yu Guo.

The truth of the story is that it was not Yu Guo who was looking for a wife, but Ah Lian who was looking for a husband.
