Weird Regulator

Ji Li lowered his head slightly, his long hair covering his face, and a wisp of blood slowly seeped out from his nose.

The bright red contrasts sharply with the paleness of the face.

He took a few deep breaths, then took out a handkerchief from his arms and wiped the blood.

"Li Yi still failed, or the direction of his life is not correct."

On the way to No. 444 Diaoying Road, digital cards arrived one after another.

Until the arrival of the seventh and eighth cards just now, he had already collected the representative dates of "12.13" in his hand.

After conducting as many as eight channelings, Ji Li had already memorized the entire mission in his mind.

There were ten store clerks, but now only two are left.

With the results of Li Yi's channeling before his death, the direction of things has become quite obvious.

As part of the rules, Ji Li uses the "12.13" in hand to send Chang Nian to two days ago.

And Chang Nian needs to carry a correct way of survival, and use these two days to prepare for the second time...

No, it should be a preparation for the third mission.

Chang Nian becomes the planner of survival paths, implanting a series of prompts into the task process to guide the clerks to implement the correct path to survival.

Ji Li looked at the eight cards in his palm, and a drop of blood spilled on them, smearing the writing.

He gently waved his hand and wiped it, but after pausing for a few seconds, he picked up the handkerchief and blocked his nose.

After eight channelings and serious injuries, his body was at the end of its strength.

Not only has his thinking ability been greatly reduced, but even such simple hands-on ability is very difficult.

The original gray brilliance of the words on the back of the eight cards in hand has been completely extinguished at this time, which means that the channeling has failed.

But only in Xu Nan's picture, the gray disappeared, but the black part belonging to Xu Cha was still shimmering.

This is why Ji Li said that Li Yi's life path was in the wrong direction.

The premise for the establishment of Li Yisheng Road is that the rules need to treat Xu Nan + Xu Cha as "one person".

In this way, submitting after Xu Nan's death is equivalent to integrating the ghost Xu Cha into the rules, thereby hedging.

But judging from the current situation, the rules obviously do not view it this way.

Xu Nan is a complete person, and Xu Cha is a separate ghost. The two are inextricably linked, but they are independent of each other.

Therefore, Li Yi only submitted Xu Cha side by side, but did not occupy one of the "eight cards" seats.

Xu Cha has become an extra card.

Of course, it is extremely difficult for Li Yi to do this.

Before knowing the outcome, who can ensure that the path to survival is foolproof and everything develops as they want.

"Brother, we'll be here soon. Can I park it at the corner of the street for you?"

Ji Li raised his head in a daze, glanced at the tall building obscured by the mist, and nodded silently.

…

This is Ji Li's first time coming to No. 444 Diaoying Road.

The whole day has passed, and it is already 21:02 in the middle of the night.

Different from the ashes world that the other nine people saw, from Ji Li's perspective, this was a renovated building that was inaccessible.

There were a few cars coming in and out here and there, but there were very few pedestrians, making it look rather desolate.

Ji Li wrapped his clothes tightly around his body and walked into No. 444 Diaoying Road, facing the direction of the wind.

This is a real-world place and it's one of the rules, so there's nothing to worry about.

Just walked straight into the building, got on the elevator, and climbed all the way to 0910 on the ninth floor.

0910 is Nong Yueke’s new home.

But neither Nong Guohao nor Wen He fulfilled their wish to move to a new home.

When Ji Li came to the door, he saw a key inserted in the keyhole, as if it had been waiting for him for a long time.

Without thinking much, the door was quietly opened.

In the house covered with dustproof sheets, many furnitures were covered with white cloths, and a smell of chaos filled the air.

The most eye-catching thing is not the furniture or the empty room.

On the ground covered with white cloth, there were ten corpses lying on it.

It seems that everyone who died in the Ash World has been moved here with unknown intentions.

Ji Li frowned and gasped hard, his lungs seemed to be on fire, causing him to cough heavily that he couldn't control.

This time it was more intense and painful than usual, causing his veins to bulge and his face to turn dark red.

The strange smell in the air intensified the heat in the chest, until a large mouthful of blood spattered out and spread on the white cloth on the ground, blooming into a strange flower.

Ji Li's mental state is getting worse and worse, and it has already affected his body. It won't be long before he may even be unable to stand.

He trudged to the ten corpses and simply scanned them one by one.

The one on the far left is Nong Guohao, followed by Deng Yiwen, followed by the order of death, and the last two are Li Yi and Wen He.

These corpses had no external injuries, but their faces were ashen, yet they were calm and composed.

This placement also gave Ji Li some hints in his eyes.

He once believed that the calendar was the core prop of this mission. It sealed the clerk and provided a way out.

But looking at it now, it seems that Nong Guohao, Wen He, and Nong Yueke have similar representative meanings.

A phone call from them led all the shop assistants to No. 444 Diaoying Road, Qingyuan Community.

Their final deaths left the beginning of life in Ji Li's hands, opening up a new direction.

Ji Li could no longer think deeply because the more he used his brain, the more he felt faint.

His condition was extremely bad, so he had to fumble for Nong Guohao's body.

Fortunately, the corpse of the clue character appears here, and it has another purpose.

Ji Li took Nong Guohao's mobile phone, compared it with the address book in his mobile phone, and dialed Chang Nian's number.

"I am Chang Nian, who are you?"

"I'm Ji Li."

The voices of both people showed varying degrees of weakness, which made people feel heartbroken.

After being silent for a few seconds, Chang Nian smiled helplessly and said:

"It seems they are almost dead, otherwise it wouldn't be your turn to contact me."

"Everyone is dead, only you and me are left. Let me explain the current situation to you..."

Everything that happens in the mission, and even the specific rules, is an extremely complicated matter.

Even though he had come up with a precise answer, it still took Ji Li a long time to convey it completely.

By the time he finished saying this, Ji Li was exhausted. He sat on the sofa and smoked a cigarette. He lit the lighter several times but failed to light it.

"If I were to go back to December 13th, maybe that would explain something."

Chang Nian thought of a series of strange situations he had encountered before, and there seemed to be some signs of enlightenment.

"What are your thoughts on how to survive?"

Listening to Chang Nian's question, Ji Li didn't have much ability to answer, so he just whispered:

"Follow Li Yi's ideas and continue to push forward, and stick to your route with Nong Yueke as the core."

Chang Nian was silent on the other side for a long time, and the call fell into a long pause.

Ji Li has already placed the cards one by one on the calendar, except for the last "3".

Seeing that Chang Nian didn't speak for a long time, Ji Li, despite the severe pain, reminded him:

"The origin of the mission lies in Qingyuan Community. The ghost in the guest room should have a purpose."

He no longer has much thinking ability and can only give brief hints, leaving Chang Nian to think further.

After Chang Nian thought about it again and again, he nodded solemnly and replied:

"I know what to do to survive, leave it to me."

Ji Li sighed and put the last "3" on the calendar. At this time, the date changed to December 13th.

At the same time, he looked out the window.

In the misty night, there seemed to be a flash of dim and dazzling ashes.

They soared up from the ground and floated in the air, like countless fireflies or stars in the night.

Weird and strange power enveloped Ji Li's body, and a beautiful figure standing in the ashes of the world appeared in front of him.

The woman stared at the sky with a lonesome courage and a desperate determination.

They were in two different worlds but seemed to be looking at the same sky.

The hands of the clock began to move back from this second, round and round.

Chang Nian's figure gradually became invisible, as if he had become a transparent ghost, sneaking through time and returning to the past.

As a result, the calendar in Ji Li's hand turned into a cloud of ashes and drifted away.

He watched all this with empty hands, closed his tired eyes, and said silently:

"Li Yi, I haven't figured out what your plan B is yet.

But everything has been overturned and started again. After the memory is cleared, can our paths be unified..."

[Mission first time, end]

The only difference between my state and Ji Li's is probably that I haven't vomited blood yet... It's too difficult
