Weird Regulator

"Dong dong...dong dong...dong dong dong..."

Ji Li frowned and stared at the locked door, listening to the knocking of the visitors.

It's still a long time and the mission has just begun.

After simply listening, he didn't hear any mystery.

The knock on the door didn't sound like a melody, and the tone was simple, so it didn't seem to mean anything.

After hesitating for a moment, he still followed the previous prompt in item B and took out a pen and paper.

Sections of twisted lines appeared on the lined paper, and the rhythm of each tap was dropped one by one on the paper.

Since Ji Li couldn't tell whether what he was recording was a complete knock, he took a long time to do this.

After the first repetition of lines on the paper, he finally stopped writing.

At this time, seven wavy curves appeared on the lined paper.

Ji Li clutched the note paper and stared at it for a long time but still couldn't figure out what information it represented.

However, the knocking outside the door continued, just repeated.

He had been observing for a long time but could not get the prompt he deserved.

Judging from the description of the third choice, the character in the game should be someone who knows the Ruru family very well.

Combined with the prophetic nightmare, this character is most likely Ruru herself.

So based on this starting point, "Ruru" in item B should have an impression of what is on this piece of paper.

Then he thought of something and rushed back to the bedroom.

Ji Li looked at this piece of paper repeatedly. He couldn't figure out the clue from these seven curves, so maybe he had to go back to the bedroom.

He turned around slowly, troubled by this.

The bedroom is not big, but not small either.

Without a clue, did he really want to dig through this small room?

At this time, Fang Shenyan, who had been "hanging out" for a long time, gave feedback through the headphones.

"I was automatically taken to the sixteenth floor by the elevator. Can I give you some tips?"

The background on Fang Shenyan's side was very quiet, with only the sound of low footsteps.

Because the real world is equivalent to no rules and no restrictions, it is a task line without goals.

There wasn't much that Fang Shenyan could do proactively. He could only search step by step.

However, judging from this sentence, it seems that the seventeenth floor was deliberately skipped by the rules.

Something, I hope he goes directly to the sixteenth floor.

Ji Li hesitated, but still took steps towards the bedroom and said softly:

"I am not sure."

Even if Fang Shenyan is taken to the sixteenth floor, it does not mean that Ji Li's next target is on the sixteenth floor.

It is true that reality and games interact, but they are also relatively independent.

Not necessarily, all actions have to be coordinated with each other.

"I saw a ranking list in the elevator, why wasn't you on it?"

Fang Shenyan had already taken the elevator, so he naturally saw the list and asked casually.

"Neither Li Yi nor I made the list."

Ji Li couldn't answer this question, so he just said this.

"I saw Gu Xingjian on it. It seems that he is indeed very good and ranked above me."

There was a hint of ridicule in Fang Shen's tone. Because of Ji Li, he also became very interested in Gu Xingjian.

This sentence made Ji Li frown, and he realized an important message.

"What's your rank?"

"Gu Xingjian is first, and I am second."

The simple conversation made Ji Li's expression serious.

The list of store managers has changed.

Strictly speaking, it was Fang Shenyan's position that changed, but he caught up and climbed all the way to second place.

Second only to Gu Xingjian’s terrifying sequence!

This is so unexpected.

Ji Li stopped in his tracks. He never took this list to heart, thinking it was just a list of store managers.

But now he suddenly realized a problem.

Why is it necessary to set up such a list in the store manager task?

In fact, there are many doubts about the store manager's mission that cannot be reasonably explained. It is full of contradictions and mystery.

For example, this list is one of them.

Regardless of other Ji Li, just looking at this change is enough to explain the problem.

From his point of view, Fang Shenyan was very strong, especially after devouring "Stephanie's Smile", his strength reached unprecedented heights.

However, he should not overpower Chen Hansheng and Luo Xian, only Gu Xingjian.

Because these two people have the right to use the power of the sky and sea.

From this moment on, Ji Li began to doubt another meaning of this list.

Perhaps, the so-called list does not mean strength ranking.

But some other unexplainable, unknown sequence...

Fang Shenyan unilaterally cut off the communication. It seemed that he had encountered some problems.

The blue light in Ji Li's headphones disappeared, and he dismissed these thoughts.

At this time, he had also returned to Ruru's bedroom.

Ruru's bedroom is actually a small room of a few square meters, which can be seen at a glance.

The place is very clean, but there are too many clutter and the ceiling is too low, so there is always a feeling of discomfort in it.

Ji Li looked at the note paper in his hand again and put it on the desk.

Through the prompts in item B, he was able to obtain some information in a subtle way.

Assume that the character of the game is Ruru.

Then what this piece of paper reflects should not be something Ruru has experienced recently, but something deeply buried in her memory.

Therefore, what Ji Li was looking for should be an old object.

Thinking of this, he had already ignored the things on the desk, bed, and things that were on display.

In this way, those things wherever you look can be basically ignored.

After eliminating these options, he thought of something else.

"fear"

When Ruru realized what the thing on the paper was, he felt sincere fear.

So from his point of view, what is it that makes him feel scary, but that he must keep in his bedroom?

Ji Li opened the wardrobe, drawers, etc. and conducted a simple search.

“When something scares him, his first reaction is to throw it away and avoid it, but he keeps it.

Unless...he couldn't throw it away at all. "

In his mind, he thought of ghosts.

Could it be that this was something parasitized by a ghost that Ruru discovered when she was a child but could never throw it away?

Ji Li turned over everything he could touch, and then he started to lift the sheets.

Take out everything under the bed.

There are a lot of debris under Ruru's bed. Just the items pulled out include three suitcases and two packages.

After Ji Li opened them one by one, he did see some old objects.

Especially those three suitcases.

In the first suitcase were some small toys, mostly dolls and the like.

This is also in line with the characteristics of Ruru, who is a boy but is raised as a daughter by her mother.

The second suitcase is a little heavy.

But as soon as it was opened, there were only some scraps of fabric. After cleaning the fabric, what was really hidden inside was revealed.

There were some books with music scores, and in the most secret compartment of the box, there was also a bamboo flute.

To be precise, it should be half a root.

Because this flute seemed to have been broken by brute force, and there were some rugged barbs at the break.

Ji Li looked through it briefly and found nothing.

But when he opened the third suitcase, his pupils shrank.

This last suitcase was light and contained only one piece of clothing.

A hospital gown!

I don’t know if it’s because the female ghost is also dressed like this, or if it’s not supposed to be here in the first place.

When Ji Li saw it, he felt very uncomfortable.

When I opened the next few packages, there were just some old clothes inside.

Ji Li straightened up. He looked at the messy bedroom, but still had no clue.

The overt and covert things are all laid out here. What is it that makes Ruru feel scared, but she can't throw it away...

At this moment, he accidentally glanced at the piece of paper that had been placed on the bed.

From this perspective, the seven lines that once stood vertically became horizontal.

It was this glance that suddenly solved the mystery that Ji Li had never been able to figure out.

He realized that he had gone astray in his thinking, and naturally connected objects with the supernatural.

This is a store clerk's thinking, but not Ruru's.

Because from Ruru's perspective, what he fears most is not ghosts, but his mother!
