Weird Regulator

What's the point of this meeting?

Ji Li finally stood up slowly after half an hour of silence. As he stood up, everyone's eyes were focused and the chaos stopped.

After such a long time, the store manager stood up, which meant that he had made a decision.

The nervous swallowing sound was heard secretly, and pairs of eyes looked quietly. Everyone listened to their own fast heartbeats and waited for the final result.

Ji Li's eyes did not change too much. His goal was clear and casual. He pointed at the two people and said lightly:

"The two who quarreled, follow me to the task."

Gao Mingjie and Wu Qingtong looked at each other for a moment, and then they were unconcealed fear and panic. They had long forgotten their previous gaffes and begged and cried in a more gaffe.

But these were no longer useful. Ji Li turned a deaf ear to them and walked out of the meeting room.

At six o'clock tonight, the four participants of the seventh branch of Orange Lake Happy World were confirmed:

Ji Li, Fang Shenyan, Gao Mingjie, and Wu Qingtong.

The last two have extremely poor personal qualities. Such characters will probably die if they go.

Of course, Ji Li chose them just to be cannon fodder.

After the selection, there seemed to be nothing to worry about in the following time, just waiting for the task to start.

According to common sense, there will be an analysis meeting after a task is released.

Although the content of this commission task is unknown, there are too many annotations, and there are some clues that can be guessed.

But there is no need.

It is nothing more than some difficulties, settings and meanings that are put on the surface. You can analyze or not analyze. Anyway, there will be staff to explain in detail when you go to the ticket office.

Ji Li walked out slowly with a cane. In his heart, he did not feel that the participants of this task were perfect.

It was time to partner with Fang Shenyan again, but he could not use the mask this time. In fact, it didn't matter much whether he was there or not.

The reason why Tongguan was chosen was because Ji Li believed that this commission task was most likely based on the total commission of the branch.

Tongguan's style of doing things is more inclined to teamwork, which is more advantageous in this mission.

But he can't come back, Fang Shenyan takes his place.

Fang Shenyan is not inferior to Ji Li in all aspects, and even stronger in some aspects, but he is cold by nature and does his own thing.

Fighting alone is a perfect match, and teamwork may have overlapping attributes.

However, everything depends on how it is used. Fang Shenyan's strong personal strength may be able to tear a big hole in the mission one-on-one, and it is not impossible to win in this way.

But in short, Ji Li has foreseen that there will be competition in this mission, and it will be more intense than the puzzle pieces.

...

Huang Banxian stood alone on the top of Tianming Mountain, the cold wind blowing his wide Taoist robe, blowing his hair and beard.

There were more wrinkles on this face, and the eyes that were originally shrewd and energetic became a little cloudy. In just one day, he seemed to have changed from a little old man in his early fifties to a vicissitudes of life in his seventies.

He shook his sleeves slightly, and his right hand hidden in his robe picked up a cracked tortoise shell.

The tortoise shell was covered with hieroglyphs of unknown meaning. When these cracks spread, there was a strange echo with these words, as if the lines and words formed an abstract picture.

Huang Banxian's eyes were blank, staring at the tortoise shell for a long time, until his tone was full of sadness, and he whispered in a volume that only he could hear:

"No wonder...

When you gave me this sin object, you said that the previous two owners of this object were killed by it, and asked me to use it carefully.

I don't know whether this is true or false, but I think this may also be part of your plan.

Maybe you have long been certain that I am the third sacrifice to feed this thing.

I am not its master, it is my life..."

The tortoise shell is a functional sin object, the effect is divination, and the price is to ruin people's luck.

Luck is a very abstract concept, which may or may not exist, but with the blessing of the supernatural, it really exists.

There are almost no products related to luck.

Such confusing things are too abstract and difficult to present in detail.

It is said that only someone in the first branch has ever obtained a sin item related to "luck", but this person eventually left the public's sight. It must be that good luck ended and bad luck came, which led to the final destruction.

As for the second sin item related to luck, it may be this tortoise shell.

Huang Banxian, who has been practicing Taoism for half his life and deceiving for half his life, has no affinity with Taoism, but seeks it.

All his sin items are more or less related to "Taoism", such as divination, pinching fingers, talismans...

When Gu Xingjian gave him this sin item, Huang Banxian hesitated, but he could not resist the temptation of "peek into the future".

As of the sixth store manager mission, Huang Banxian has used this item three times, and it was not used repeatedly in the same mission.

But its price has begun to show.

After Gu Xingjian died, Huang Banxian clearly noticed that the tortoise shell sin object had an extremely strong abnormal movement, and the pictographic characters on it began to increase.

Before that, there were only three characters on the tortoise shell, but when the mission was completed and a new day came, it became six, doubling.

It is foreseeable that the number of characters will reach nine at this time tomorrow.

"Nine" is the largest number in Taoism and represents the limit.

At the same time, the changes in the tortoise shell also produced a similar correlation in Huang Banxian.

As the number of characters increased, he clearly realized that he was aging rapidly, and the most direct change was his appearance.

But the core was that his life was ruined.

The price of the tortoise shell, in an unreasonable and inexplicable way, kept biting back at his "master".

It can be predicted that the number of characters on the tortoise shell will be "nine" tomorrow, which means that Huang Banxian's fate limit has been reached.

If it continues to increase above "nine" one day later, then his fate will exceed and he will die.

This is what Huang Banxian said, the countdown of fate.

The tortoise shell and fate are tied together. This is the conspiracy that Gu Xingjian sent at the beginning.

But from this step, Gu Xingjian's purpose is definitely not to kill Huang Banxian, but to use him to feed the tortoise shell sin.

Perhaps, this is also the reason why Huang Banxian knows so many secrets but can still survive to this day.

But Gu Xingjian may not have thought that he did not wait until the day when the "tortoise shell was formed" and died tragically on the screen.

Because of his death, the tortoise shell began to reap the fate of Huang Banxian.

The scene that Clyde and others saw at that time was actually Huang Banxian trying to use the incense sin object to forcibly peel off the binding relationship between himself and the tortoise shell.

But he didn't expect that the blood spit out at the cost of the sin object directly extinguished the incense, and at the same time extinguished all his hopes.

The taste of waiting for death is not pleasant, especially since Huang Banxian hasn't lived enough.

He is only fifty-three years old this year. He was poor in the first half of his life and wandered in the second half of his life. He is obviously a shrewd man, but God gave him a life of ups and downs.

"Let it go is not to wait for death. You only care about self-pity, but you are not worthy of this Taoist robe."

When the wind was strong, Clyde came from behind at some point, talking as he walked.

Huang Banxian frowned, turned his head to look at the blond and blue-eyed man, and asked:

"What do you want to say?"

Clyde put his arm on Huang Banxian's shoulder, but felt his bones hurting his hand, so he pulled his arm back and said seriously:

"I want to say that if you really don't accept your fate, you might as well use these last three days to take on commission tasks, maybe it will work wonders."
