Weird Regulator

The current time is 11:12, and the source ghost said that the first person to die is Yu Guo.

There were still one hour and ten minutes left before Yu Guo's death as it said. The primary purpose of Ji Li's trip was to take Yu Guo away.

Therefore, he cannot calculate the time of the last deceased, but the time of the first deceased.

Fortunately, there is still one hour.

Ji Li believed that he could reach another world within an hour, and as long as he did, he thought it would not be difficult to find Yu Guo and others.

However, Ji Li, who had a human face in his pocket, was still thinking about it.

If Chang Nian couldn't see the hanged female body on the first floor, then how did Yu Guo find it?

Ji Li was puzzled by this point, and in the end he could only attribute the reason to the fact that the ghost of Tiannan College had a special meaning for Yu Guo.

This meaning is also mutual.

So, here, Yu Guo is special.

Ji Li's specialness comes from his mysterious identity and the gray soul in his body.

The specialness of Yu Guo should come from the love that has a thousand ties with him and cannot be dissipated in reincarnation.

Yu Guo's ability is not the most outstanding among the Seventh Branch, but Ji Li still values ​​him very much. For this reason, he was just taking advantage of him at first.

But since the mission in Kyoto, he saw that old photo and saw the future of Haruyama, and he had another kind of emotional sustenance.

In this world, things are changing quietly every minute and every second.

Ji Li has changed a lot in the fifty years before and after. He has changed from the kind and gentle man in the photo to an unscrupulous cold demon with blood on his hands.

He no longer calls himself human, but there is still a lingering bond in his heart.

And these fifty years of vicissitudes and changes in human nature are what bind him.

Therefore, when he saw Yu Guo's persistence in not being afraid of hardships, he was already moved in another way.

He snatched the script from Mei Sheng's hands and gave it to Yu Guo. He sincerely wanted this miserable but optimistic man to realize his long-cherished wish.

When passing by the eighth floor, Ji Li heard a burst of piano playing from a room at the other end of the corridor.

At the same time, there were also whispers from Chang Nian. Apparently she had found another open room, and the clues were exposed, maybe it was related to the piano.

Chang Nian was calling for foreign help, but Ji Li ignored him. He did his own thing first.

On the first floor, the hanging female corpse was swaying in the wind. It looked like a necrotic clock, with the hands swinging feebly at the bottom.

Ji Li took out the human face from his pocket, placed it front on the ground and turned it upside down.

So he looked at the female corpse and the wound on its neck.

The role of the female corpse was exposed after Yu Guo, Ji Li just needed to follow the steps.

Ji Li's marksmanship is average and he can only hit the target at close range, but he has one talent, which is that he can throw flying knives extremely accurately.

He discovered this after the Ghost Bride mission. At that time, he was unconscious and could throw a knife at the magical tanuki at will. Later, he didn't rely much on firearms, but used throwing knives when he was unsure.

At this moment, he couldn't reach the female corpse's neck at this height, so he took out a dagger, bumped it in his hand, and slashed it with his hand.

A cold light flashed, and the dagger's edge grazed the white neck of the female corpse, and a brand new wound appeared on the artery that had been sealed for a long time.

The corpse should not have had such a large amount of bleeding, but now it was bleeding profusely. The female corpse was like a jar storing blood, and as long as there was a gap, it would spurt out instantly.

Ji Li also didn't expect that the female corpse would be like a living person, with severed arteries causing massive bleeding. If she hadn't dodged quickly, she would have been splashed all over her body.

He didn't waste any time and quickly took the face and used the reverse side to catch the blood.

His face was like a basin with a leaky bottom. Blood seeped down from the three large holes in his eye sockets, nose and mouth, dripping on the floor.

At the same time, blood began to flow densely in the tiny holes between the nose and mouth, forming two complete figures on the ground.

"25"

Ji Li threw his face out the door, took out a wet wipe from his bag, wiped the blood on his palm, and rushed upstairs quickly.

He always feels that his numbers are not complete enough. "25" obviously does not correspond to the room number, because there is no 25th floor here, and the rooms on the second floor are all used as "20" or "21".

Therefore, he felt that he should have only got part of the clue, but the other part might fall on Chang Nian's side.

As soon as he arrived in the corridor on the eighth floor, he saw Chang Nian rushing out in room "812". Judging from his expression, he must have gotten something.

Ji Li hurriedly asked what happened, and Chang Nian took a breath and recounted her experience during this period in detail.

It turned out that she searched from the first floor all the way up to the eighth floor, and the door of room 812 happened to be open, and there was only a piano in the huge room inside.

The piano is relatively old, but it can still be played normally, but Chang Nian found that the piano was missing a white key.

On the piano stand, there was a piece of music score. Chang Nian didn't know much about piano and music theory, so he called a clerk in the seventh branch who was familiar with music for help.

With the help of the clerk, Chang Nian began to play the piano music that Ji Li had heard when he passed by.

Gradually, Chang Nian realized through the clerk's prompts that the missing white key corresponded to a certain note on the piano score. Without it, the music would not be complete.

At the same time, after comparison, Chang Nian concluded that the number represented by that note was "7".

Ji Li also informed Chang Nian of the "25" he got.

"The two strings of numbers should be spliced ​​together. Let's first see if there are any other open rooms that can give clues." Chang Nian nodded, silently writing down the two strings of numbers and then said.

Ji Li nodded. This time they no longer separated and searched the remaining rooms together.

…

At 11:33, there were only 49 minutes left before Yu Guo's death.

The two finally checked all the rooms and found no other open rooms, so these two strings of numbers became the final clue.

"Who should go first and who comes last?" Chang Nian took a few breaths and sat on the stairs.

Ji Li leaned against the wall, his eyes twitching. He was already a little anxious in his heart, and he repeatedly arranged and combined the two numbers.

Since "25" comes from one place, it should not be separated. The key now is whether the "7" that Chang Nian got should be at the front or at the back.

"257" and "725", is there anything in this building that perfectly corresponds to the two arrays?

"Rooms are impossible. Room numbers are all corresponding. There is no reason to replace them with a new array. So what else could use so many numbers?"

Chang Nian stood up from the steps anxiously and began to circle and mutter to himself in front of Ji Li.

Ji Li had no clue at first, but the moment he saw Chang Nian getting up, an idea flashed in his mind and he suddenly became enlightened!

"Number of steps! Apart from the number of rooms, there are only so many steps in the entire building!"

Ji Li quickly started to check the number of steps between floors and found that not counting the central platform between floors, there were 24 steps between each floor.

So the fourteenth floor should be 13 times 24, and the whole building has 312 steps!

In this way, the arrangement of "725" is incorrect, and it can only be "257".

The 257th step was located between the 8th and 9th floors. Ji Li suddenly raised his head. They were currently on the eighth floor!

"254, 255, 256..."

When the two came to the 256th step side by side, Chang Nian took a deep breath and was about to take the last step when Ji Li suddenly pulled her arm.

"Wait a minute, if we can enter, we must also be able to exit, so now we need to leave a backup."
