Weird Regulator

"What's Act Four?"

There was a long silence, and finally Ji Li suppressed the matter for the time being and asked about the more pressing fourth act.

Not long after, Li Guanqi's tired voice came from the headphones.

"Ji Li, you broke your promise to kill my deputy store manager. Do you still expect me to reveal it to you further?"

"Just tell me the conditions."

Ji Li found a corner and sat down, rubbing his painful temples and replied in a deep voice.

Some words don’t need to be stated clearly.

Ji Li always had a reason for killing people, and he would not break a promise without any reason. This only meant that if Tengshan didn't die at that time, Ji Li wouldn't be able to survive.

He knew Li Guanqi, and if the other party didn't want to reveal it, he wouldn't come forward to talk.

"The second branch is Tian Xiaoou, the third branch is Hou Guisheng, the fifth branch is Tengshan, and the eighth branch is Bao An.

Four people were trapped on the eighth floor. The information I got stopped five minutes ago, and all outside communications seemed to be cut off there.

If Manager Ji will go to Act 4, you will definitely meet each other.

Promise me, try your best to save Tengshan..."

Four unfamiliar names represent four branches.

Judging from the current situation, six of the ten players have appeared.

Only Gu Qingyun of the first branch, Xue Tingtao of the fourth branch, Bai Huaiguang of the sixth branch, and the unknown deputy store manager of the tenth branch are still missing.

But judging from the progress, the four people mentioned by Li Guanqi have reached the pioneer position in the game plot.

Tengshan is the second most advanced deputy store manager after Ji Li. After he spent the resurrection coins, he thought he had figured out how to quickly clear the level.

But, what is the correct way to complete the second act?

Even Ji Li hadn't figured this out, so how did Tengshan think of it?

"Aren't you going down?" Ji Li suddenly asked.

Li Guanqi's tone was full of exhaustion and frustration. After a moment of silence, he said softly:

"I can't walk anymore. If Tengshan can survive, please advise him not to continue.

The road ahead is no longer something we at this level can interfere with. "

After saying this, Li Guanqi hesitated for a moment and then added:

"Be careful of two people, Gu Qingyun and Hou Guisheng.

Gu Qingyun is said to have found a loophole in the game world. There is no need to clear the level, you only need to wait for someone to complete the plot, and you can win.

He was willing to share the secret, and the story spread among the store managers, and I suspect he did it intentionally.

Purpose unknown. "

Ji Li frowned. He had been paying attention to Gu Qingyun, but had no way of finding out the news.

This person's thoughts are different from those of normal people, and there is no guarantee that there is some hidden conspiracy.

As for Hou Guisheng...

This was a name that was unfamiliar to Ji Li. He didn't know whether it was a boy or a girl, and he didn't know anything about it.

Li Guanqi coughed twice and said hoarsely:

"Hou Guisheng comes from Uncle Chen's third branch, but I have never heard of him. Maybe he is too inconspicuous.

But it is said that everyone can open the fourth act, and the leader is this person.

Such a strange figure who has never been named, but has such an extraordinary mind, is worthy of attention. "

Ji Li stopped talking, and Li Guanqi finally told everything he knew.

This was part of the deal between the two of them, exchanging information for kindness.

"Ji Li... Manager Ji, regarding the evil spirits, I play a big role.

If it's convenient for you to see An An... Do you understand what I mean? "

It was quite embarrassing for Huangfu Jiajia to get close to something like this.

Although she and Ji Li had dealt with each other before, it seemed that both parties had a bad impression.

But for Bao An, she still said this shamelessly.

But there was obviously no response from Ji Li, which made her even more embarrassed.

…

"Ji Li, what do you think about games and reality?"

Fang Shenyan's voice sounded, his volume was very low, as if he was deliberately avoiding the others.

In fact, from Clyde getting the game representative object in reality to the lack of the third act of the game, certain problems have been explained.

The simplest and most intuitive possibility:

The interaction between games and reality has crossed the line, and the two worlds have begun to invade and merge.

This was the first thought, and it was Clyde's.

There is a second kind, which is Ji Li’s judgment:

"The real relationship between games and reality is that games are adapted from reality, that is, games are a sub-world of reality."

The reason why Ji Li understands this way is because the two worlds have countless similarities.

Things in the game can always find references in reality.

Various images of hospital gowns and facelessness, and even the goddess Hu on the tenth floor has a role.

However, Fang Shenyan avoided everyone and raised a third conjecture.

"I think neither games nor reality are the real world."

As soon as this idea appeared, Ji Li's mind began to beat, and he aroused his interest.

“The reality I live in is not reality at all, it is just a sub-world.

Maybe you are right, the game is a sub-world of reality, but reality is also a branch of another world.

My main line is actually to find the real root world. "

Ji Li's eyes narrowed and he asked word by word:

"What exactly did you see in the vermilion wood carving?"

Fang Shenyan's tone became strange, his words were unclear and cryptic, as if he was afraid of something.

“People who have lost their facial features stand in front of a blank door, at a loss as to what to do and terrified.

That person can be me or anyone.

The source of it all is outside the door, but they don't have the key. "

"But I do!"

Sensitive words appear.

The vermilion wood carving is indeed what Gu Xingjian said, and it is enough to affect this store manager's task.

This hidden plot is really closely related to the entire main line of the mission.

Fang Shenyan saw the door to the root in the real world.

Ji Li was in the game world again and got the metal key.

This will undoubtedly play a great role in promoting this store manager's task.

Fang Shenyan took a deep breath and felt the thunderous sound of war drums in his heart.

The secret represents horror, but for him it has another interest.

"Integrating your thoughts with Clyde's and the matter of the vermilion wood carvings formed my third opinion.

A real root world releases two sub-worlds, namely reality and games.

The two sub-worlds are unrelated but related, disordered but orderly, like two rivers that constantly intersect but separate.

As you said, the player you play in the game is looking for some purpose.

This purpose is the final destination of the game river.

Then, I should also have such a final place in the real world.

The final intersection of the two rivers is the end point, which is also the gate to the root world. "

Ji Li followed his words and gradually recognized this statement, and went on to describe:

"I cleared the game and you lost your facial features.

You act as the faceless one, holding the key and becoming the door opener. This is the real main line! "

The theory is abstract, but easy to understand, and the division of labor is extremely clear.

Perhaps this mission is the reason why the two store managers need to cooperate.

The vermilion wood carvings indeed played a role in accelerating the process, and the emergence of hidden plots pointed out the way forward for Ji Li and Fang Shenyan.

Then, this store manager mission will also come to the second half.
