Weird Regulator

"Jia Jia, forget it."

Li Guanqi also reached the end of his strength. He tiredly held down Huangfu Jiajia who was still arguing, and persuaded him in a low voice.

He had seen everything clearly.

The commission task was over, but the Devouring Ghost who made the rules did not intend to end it. The final punishment was a precious opportunity for it to kill people.

After Ta left, the Devouring Ghost was the master who could completely control their lives.

Not to mention the dispensable rules, since it had the ability to keep the two of them, it could completely wipe them out.

Now giving a small game of "Guess the Gold Coin" is actually a gift.

The torn right sleeve fluttered in the wind, like the willow branches hanging down from the old willow tree.

Li Guanqi watched quietly, and the scenes of the past emerged in front of his eyes. His uncle used to play chess and drink tea under the willow branches. When Uncle Wang failed and was upset, he would rub Li Guanqi's head while smiling.

Maybe he was really wrong, but he didn't regret it.

Li Guanqi calmly accepted his fate, stretched out his pale palm, and pointed at the right fist of the man in the suit with coagulated blood on his fingertips.

For the major topic of life and death, he casually gave an answer and left everything to God.

Huangfu Jiajia was still afraid. She could not fully accept the current situation, even though she had been mentally prepared.

Chen Jie's face floated in her mind. She said that the eighth branch would be finished after her death.

Li Mochou's cry before death sounded. She begged God and herself.

Bao An's last meeting before the store manager's task was already blurred. She only remembered that the boy, who was only a few years older than her, asked her to eat less sugar.

Overnight growth often only happens in movies.

Painful experiences do make people stronger and more confident, but people with only one point of ability will never become two points because of this.

A tear fell from the corner of Huangfu Jiajia's eyes. She didn't know whether it was because of fear or grief. She could only raise her right hand under the urging of the Devouring Ghost.

In the cold wind, she trembled and made a difficult choice - left fist.

After making their choices, Li Guanqi and Huangfu Jiajia looked at each other with different emotions, and the left and right were their tacit understanding.

Maybe if it were the other two, they would definitely think about how to harm each other or how to calculate at this time.

But they didn't.

Maybe it was because Huangfu Jiajia was the weakest store manager besides Zhu Xiaoning, maybe it was because Li Guanqi had long known that he had reached the end of his rope, or maybe it was because the two of them were always kind by nature.

In short, under the important proposition of life and death, they did not fight or compete, and tacitly chose different options.

In this way, the two of them could at least ensure that one person could leave alive.

...

January 3, 2016, was destined to be a sad day that witnessed too many life and death separations.

39 store employees, the actual death toll reached two-thirds, and two store managers were facing the most important game in their lives.

But in fact, 40 people came to the commission task at the beginning.

The 40th, extra clerk was from the fifth branch, named Lu Caiwei.

She was always crazy and noisy, but she wore a thin coat and quietly guarded outside the Orange Lake Garden for more than four hours.

The cold winter night made this girl, who was half a year younger than Huangfu Jiajia, look lonely and pitiful.

She stared at the exit of Orange Lake with a trance.

Under the garden gate supported by four stone pillars, a handsome and cheerful young man rushed out of the garden gate, showed her a very bright smile, and waved his hand to run towards her.

"Huh..."

Another unexpected cold wind blew her up, and at the same time wiped out the fantasy in front of her.

The empty garden gate was cold and clear, without sunshine, smiles, and Li Guanqi.

Lu Caiwei, who waited until the last minute, watched the pointer on the compass watch point to the scale of 22:06, and suddenly burst into tears.

The girl's crying was not hidden, and her sobbing sound melted into the sobbing wind and drifted far away.

She cried and untied the compass watch on her wrist. There was a red rope tied to the strap, and her memories were pulled back to a long time ago.

…

Li Guanqi pulled the disobedient Lu Caiwei and forcibly wrapped a red rope around her wrist, tying it so tightly that the girl grimaced.

"Caiwei, you are too impulsive. Before making a decision in the future, remember to take a look at this rope and remind yourself not to act on impulse in everything."

… The fragments of memories disappeared, and the girl stopped crying. When she untied the compass watch, she also untied the red rope and held it tightly in her palm.

"I will never let you die. I will make sure you survive!"

After that, she took out her mobile phone with the hand holding the red rope.

…

Huangfu Jiajia stared at the Devouring Ghost's left hand, and even her body trembled unnaturally. She seemed to see the empty space inside, and the face of the god of death.

The five fingers that were enough to decide the life and death of two people opened very slowly, stirring the emotions of the living, like a devil's playful trick before killing.

The left hand was completely spread out after five seconds.

Huangfu Jiajia lost all her strength and sat down on the cold ground, her heart almost jumping out of her throat.

She only felt scared, but then she was relieved, but when she finally looked up at the person next to her, she became complicated.

In Devouring Ghost's left hand, a round gold coin was lying in the palm.

This means that one more person will die tonight, named Li Guanqi.

When Li Guanqi saw this scene, even though he had made preparations early, he still inevitably felt panicked for a moment.

But when he lowered his head to look at Huangfu Jiajia, he felt relieved again.

His frozen expression melted away with a wry smile, he picked up Huangfu Jiajia on the ground with his hands, and whispered:

"I'm at the end of my strength, life and death don't matter anymore."

At this point, he paused, and then his tone became firm.

"But I took the path I wanted to take. Even if I die, I think my uncle will recognize me..."

Buzz!

The speed at which Devouring Ghost opens the five fingers of his right hand is still very slow. This process of deciding the outcome is giving him the final time.

A phone call came at this most critical moment.

Li Guanqi looked at the familiar number on it, his expression turned from peaceful to complicated, and finally chose to answer the call.

"Caiwei..."

"I will never let you die, I will definitely let you live!"

There was nothing said on the other end, as if the purpose of this call was very single, just to confirm that Li Guanqi was not dead.

This sudden sentence stunned Li Guanqi, but then his expression changed drastically, and his already watery mood was instantly shattered.

"Caiwei! You must not..."

But there was no chance to finish the sentence.

He only felt a strange but familiar supernatural power wrap around his body, and a huge brown compass appeared in the sky, with its slender pointer spinning like crazy.

The powerful supernatural power did not give Li Guanqi a chance to react, nor did it give Huangfu Jiajia and Devouring Ghost a chance to react.

A beam of light fell on the compass, hitting Li Guanqi instantly, and then he disappeared into the Orange Lake!

22:08.

Lu Caiwei turned into a ghost three times, sacrificing her compass watch and forcibly teleporting Li Guanqi out of Orange Lake.

Also at this same time.

There is only one store manager left in Orange Lake.

Huangfu Jiajia, the store manager who had been on the verge of death several times and reincarnated from the dead several times, did not turn around at the last moment.

Li Guanqi can walk, but she cannot.

The Devouring Ghost had already said that it would kill at least one person today, so she would have to be the dead one, even if she guessed the location of the gold coin.

Twists and turns, destiny, the damned will die.

Perhaps it is worth comforting that Huangfu Jiajia did not have the suffering of waiting or the torture of puppets when she died. She died ignorantly, caught off guard, and had no pain.

The commission mission ended completely with the death of Huangfu Jiajia.

A small white butterfly broke away from the clump of leaves and plunged into the cold and turbulent wind, as if it wanted to earn the freedom of the sky with its young and fragile wings.

But in the end, just as it was about to take off, the wind broke both wings.

However, the falling wings are like two plum blossoms blooming in winter, soft and strong.

No one will laugh at its insignificance, people will only appreciate it for working hard for its dreams.
