Weird Regulator

With one sentence, the atmosphere fell into silence.

Chang Nian stood at the door, frowning and looking at Nong Yueke's back, without moving.

Ji Li held on to the wall and slowly came to sit at the head of the bed. Only then did he see the girl's profile.

Nong Yue is a very ordinary girl.

Her facial features are not outstanding, but she is very white and has a little flesh on her cheeks. She looks quite cute.

Although the cold look on his face at this time gave people a sense of distance, it was still very different from Ruru's gloomy look.

Overall, if she hadn't said something very weird, this girl would have been ordinary.

After Ji Li sat down next to her, he finally saw the thing on the table.

This is a brand new flip calendar.

The card with black text on a white background is fixed on December 18th.

This time point made Ji Li a little moved, because this was the end date of the mission.

What also caught his attention was the calendar itself.

Because the main body of the flip-card calendar is "digital cards".

Ji Li took out the cigarette case from his pocket and thought about it while looking at the calendar.

If Chang Nian's so-called "starting point and end point" theory is true, then the calendar mastered by Nong Yueke will probably be a very important item.

Perhaps, it is the core crime of this mission.

Thinking of this, there was a slight change in his eyes when he looked at Nong Yueke.

Nong Yueke is the starting point of this mission.

The calendar date in her hand is the end point of this mission.

So, the "rules" he was looking for...

"you remember me."

Ji Li lit the cigarette without any scruples, which could help him improve his condition as quickly as possible.

Nong Yueke held half of his face with his hands, leaned lazily on the table, and looked at him intently, but did not answer.

"What do you think is a human being or a ghost?"

Seeing no answer, Ji Li asked again.

But Nong Yueke still looked at him like this and didn't speak for a long time.

But Ji Li saw outside the window opposite the table that there seemed to be signs of snowing outside.

But after careful observation, there was nothing, but the sky became gloomy.

On the other side, Chang Nian lifted up his sleeves and made a wound on his arm with a short knife.

Dense blood drops poured out along the slender wounds and dripped on the gray-white floor tiles, which was extremely dazzling.

She frowned, then took out the gauze in her backpack, and said while bandaging:

"I'm not a ghost."

Nong Yueke said just that during this period, but it did cause some trouble for the two of them.

For example, Chang Nian is not sure whether he has any signs of becoming a ghost.

She was worried that she would be in the same situation as Chen Jie and unknowingly side with the ghosts.

Of course, Chen Jie's situation is still unclear.

After Chang Nian bandaged the wound, he walked towards the table with a short knife and stood behind Nong Yueke.

The seven-year-old girl was wearing loose pajamas and looked like a large stuffed toy in front of her.

If she wanted, she could dismember it with just a flick of the knife.

Perhaps this is also a way to verify whether Nong Yueke's family of three are human beings.

But there is obviously no need to do this now, and Chang Nian's eyes are also on the calendar.

"The dead Deng Yiwen was holding a number card with '1' in her hand, which corresponds to part of this calendar.

Is this one of the rules? "

The correspondence between digital cards and card flop calendars is too obvious.

But what needs to be confirmed now is the logic between the dead, digital cards, flop calendar, and rules.

Ji Li ignored Nong Yueke's gaze and flipped the calendar up and down a few times.

He discovered that the two parts of the numbers, the month and the day, were actually composed of upper and lower parts.

In other words, there are a total of 8 cards for the date "12.18".

And the font of each number is not the traditional Arabic numeral, but is presented in a stiff and straight manner similar to strokes.

For example, "1" is two vertical lines; "2" is a centrally symmetrical figure...

Ji Li frowned, and after contacting Deng Yiwen's situation at that time, he seemed to have grasped the key point and said:

"What Deng Yiwen is holding is not '1', but half of '1'.

Another dead person needs to appear to form a complete '1'.

If you can collect the date '12.18', you need to kill eight people or get eight complete cards. "

This logical chain is established, but problems arise.

Ji Li has mastered the calendar itself with Nong Yueke, but the eight number cards have to be obtained by Li Yi.

So, even if Li Yi gathers together, what will it bring?

After thinking deeply, Ji Li suddenly turned his attention to Nong Yueke.

Nong Yueke is obviously the controller of the calendar.

She is a clue character, why can she master the "rules", and what can she get through this...

Nong Yueke still maintained his original posture, with his back to Chang Nian, but looking directly at Ji Li.

She had spoken the first words since they had arrived in the room.

He seemed to turn a blind eye to Chang Nian, and just stared at Ji Li closely, as if he was afraid that he would run away.

The situation fell into a stalemate for a while.

Facing Nong Yueke, it is impossible to kill him and it is not easy to kill him.

The calendar on the desk cannot be flipped, but it cannot be moved.

Chang Nian frowned, paced around the room, thinking carefully about the relationship between the digital cards and the card flip calendar, and finally said:

“Based on what I’ve seen and heard now, if I connect the cards with the calendar, the most likely outcome is:

When we collect eight digital cards, we can jump the calendar to December 18th, the end of the mission, and survive successfully.

This seems to be the way to survive. "

But there is a fatal flaw in this logic.

That is, if the life path is established, it means that only eight out of ten people need to die, and the remaining two can win completely.

This is equivalent to this mission, which has no operability at all.

So Ji Li shook his head slightly and came up with another idea.

He flipped the calendar with his hand and found that the cards above and below were all "12.18".

"Your thoughts, your calendar are the way to go.

But I think calendars are a dead end.

We thought Qingyuan Community was just the starting point, but now it also symbolizes the end.

This is where everything begins and everything ends.

There are no concrete ghosts in this mission, and those who kill are the rules.

So this rule is this calendar.

It limited us to the period from December 15th to December 18th, sandwiched in No. 444 Diaoying Road, Qingyuan Community.

So, after collecting the cards, the clerk can take control of the calendar.

If it is destroyed, it is equivalent to erasing the rules of the mission, thereby avoiding death and achieving a way out. "

According to Ji Li's idea, the way to collect all the cards is not just death.

Instead, you need to take the initiative to search in the ashes world, so that it is in line with the mission.

After Chang Nian heard this, she thought for a while, then looked down at Nong Yueke, who was extremely calm, and said:

"If we follow this line of thinking, what role does she play in this mission?"

Calendar, represents rules.

Then Nong Yueke may not be the controller of the calendar, because such an identity is completely redundant.

And judging from her current performance, there is no sign of the underlying ghost at all.

Ji Li began to look at Nong Yueke equally, the cigarette in his hand was burning, emitting wisps of light gray smoke.

At the same time, a piece of ashes like snowflakes fell silently into the room.

Chang Nian suddenly raised her head, only to see the piece of ashes falling on her shoulder by "coincidence".

Then came the ashes that suddenly appeared, and were very purposeful, all covering him.

The ashes fell, as if there was a heavy snowfall that was unique to Chang Nian.

Then, Chang Nian's figure disappeared into the room and was pulled into the world of ashes.

But Ji Li, who was also a participant, was clean and had no ashes.

At this time, Nong Yueke finally put down the arm holding his cheek, looked at Ji Li, and said the second sentence:

"Now, you are the only one left."
