Weird Regulator

At noon on November 6, there was endless snow on the pedestrian street outside Shenmutuan Shopping Mall.

I haven’t seen the sun for a long time since I arrived in Kyoto, and the snow was even heavier than yesterday, covering the sky and the ground.

Everywhere you look is covered in forest white.

Ji Li and Mei Sheng walked side by side. Both of them were dressed in black and had white faces. Their appearance and temperament were extraordinary. They stood together in the wind and snow, attracting the attention of passers-by around them.

"The time is almost up."

This was the first sentence Mei Sheng said during the few hours they arrived outside Shenmuduan Shopping Mall, which was as clear as snowflakes.

Ji Li has been observing the structure of the shopping mall building. This is a twelve-story building. From the outside, it occupies a large area, and it must be even wider inside.

Today is Sunday, and there are people and traffic in front of the shopping mall. The snow has not reduced the desire to consume.

The purpose of choosing the time and location for the fourth branch is obvious.

They didn't want Ji Li and Mei Sheng to die without any suspense. Instead, they set aside a large escape area and a huge passenger flow as substitutes.

With the cover of these people, even if a ghost attacks, Ji Li and others can rely on their numbers to avoid or resist the attack.

Xue Tinghai just wanted to cause trouble, but he didn't want to kill Ji Li now.

This is why Ji Li dared to bring Mei Sheng to the meeting alone. He had already seen through this.

Therefore, there will definitely be crises during this trip, and if we relax even a little bit, the ship may capsize, but Ji Li doesn't have much worry in his heart.

On the contrary, what he was thinking about now was Fang Shenyan's side.

Not long ago, Fang Shenyan, Xiao Qianduye and Cui Yanqing had gathered together and had their injuries taken care of.

In fact, in that situation, it was very lucky to be Chi Rou alone.

Fang Shenyan and Xiao Qianduye relied entirely on luck, and Cui Yanqing also discovered that the corpse had a special function during their escape.

as if……

In this mission, the bodies of the store clerks killed by the string ghost will have some kind of resistance to ghost attacks!

This was a major discovery, even a shocking discovery, because after repeated deliberation, Ji Li suddenly realized that the corpse was likely to be related to the crime!

Judging from the information obtained so far, there are only a few types of criminal objects in this mission: one is a human form, and the other is a white-faced ghost mask.

But through the incident of Chirou's corpse, he realized that it was very likely that the crime was on the corpse.

Cui Yanqing hugged Chi Rou's body and ran out of the room. The string ghost didn't do anything to her.

However, this does not mean that the corpse is a sinful object, otherwise there would be too many sinful objects in this mission.

So, Ji Li hasn't figured out what the purpose of the corpse is yet, but he understands that if ghosts are rampant in Shenmutuan Mall next time.

I'm afraid that the bodies of the two people holding the thread will be their life-saving thing.

"If you were Xue Tinghai, where would you put the thread puller?"

Ji Li looked at the time again. It was now 1:32 on November 6, less than half an hour before the deadline.

After hearing this, Mei Sheng thought carefully, her handsome profile slightly raised, and she stared into the shopping mall through the glass window.

"I'm afraid, it won't be particularly hidden. It won't be some underground warehouse or some corner. I guess it will be a reasonable and clever place."

It is difficult to hide two living people in a bustling shopping mall.

The easiest way is to bundle them in a deserted warehouse or in a corner where few people visit, but this method does not meet Xue Tinghai's purpose.

So, that means that he will definitely arrange it in a very common location, but it will not be easily discovered by unrelated people.

A place that can only be found by shop assistants.

So, where would such a place be in a shopping mall?

"Let's go."

Ji Li couldn't wait any longer. Xue Tinghai was not Tianhai who issued the mission, so there was no need to enter at two o'clock.

But after he said this, Mei Sheng didn't move at all, causing Ji Li to turn his head and look at her.

Mei Sheng's expression didn't change, she just raised her palm slightly in a "please" gesture: "I'll walk behind you."

Ji Li glanced at the woman with a half-smile, and saw that she was very wary, and her distrust of others even exceeded his own.

But there was no need to dwell on this. Ji Li took the lead, wrapped up his windbreaker tightly and walked into the revolving door.

The hot air hit his face, blowing away the snowflakes that had fallen on his shoulders. Although there were many people in the mall, it was not that crowded.

On the contrary, the bright lights and moving Japanese minor music make Shenmutuan Shopping Mall look less noisy but not deserted enough.

Looking at the endless shopping mall, Ji Li had a headache and secretly thought that Xue Tinghai had really given him a big problem.

After rubbing his temples in distress, Ji Li said to Mei Sheng, who was one and a half meters away from him and kept an absolutely safe distance, "Let's split up and look for him."

Mei Sheng did not respond and walked towards the hall on the right, while Ji Li went to the left.

With a dazzling array of products and various shops, Ji Li searched quickly. He skipped some restaurants, furniture, clothing, jewelry and other shops at a glance.

What he is looking for is a location where two living people can be placed reasonably, such as...

Ji Li's footsteps stopped at the entrance of a clothing store, or to be precise, the several upright model sculptures in the glass window.

This mannequin sculpture is very strange. The exposed limbs are flesh-colored, but the faces are covered with masks, either horse heads or unicorns.

Putting on clothes, at first glance he looks like a living person.

This thing is too sensitive. The sleeping living person and the human-like model have aroused Ji Li's suspicion.

Just staring at it, and after careful examination, he saw that the mannequins in the window were just plastic products, not living people.

So Ji Li walked into the clothing store, and the enthusiastic female clerk came forward to receive her. She chatted a lot, but Ji Li couldn't understand a word.

He didn't need to understand, he just took advantage of this time to search the store and observe the appearance of each model.

After looking around, there was no sign of any living person disguised.

Ji Li left the clothing store without staying any longer.

The moment he walked out of the store, the third personality suddenly said in his mind:

“There’s something not right about the model.”

Ji Li's footsteps suddenly stopped, his heart throbbed for a while because of these words, and he looked slightly sideways at the model standing next to him like a living person.

"What's wrong?"

"The male model closest to us at the door...

Its position is slightly different from when we entered the store! "
