Strange rules: starting with a white-haired beauty

"Is that the memory of "her"? It seems that this is the 'melody from the past'... They played this piece of music at a very important moment, so this piece of music can also remind "her" of that time. thing." Lan Zhirou looked at the piano in front of her and analyzed to herself, "In this way, is the black-haired female ghost on the stairs the same person playing the piano in the memory?"

Holding back the feeling of nausea, Lan Zhirou recalled the maggot-covered face again, and found that it really seemed to be somewhat similar.

"If it is really the person in the memories, it seems that if you want to achieve a good ending, the first thing to do is to find out what happened, and why this mansion became like this... um... over there Why is there an extra plush doll on the table? Was there this stuff before?"

Just when Lan Zhirou was thinking about how to find out these things and investigate the stuffed toy that suddenly appeared, the landline phone in the corridor rang suddenly.

Just like the scenes depicted in those horror games, there was only the sound of ringing phones in the empty corridors, and the corridors filled with shadows seemed particularly intrusive.

"Isn't the phone broken...?" Listening to the phone ringing outside the door, Lan Zhirou couldn't help but frown. She had previously investigated the landline phone hanging at the stairwell, and Bai Jin had also scanned the landline phone. It's definitely broken.

Although everything that happens in the strange world can be rectified, this incident is a bit too outrageous.

After confirming that there was nothing abnormal outside, Lan Zhirou tiptoed to the side of the phone. What made her a little surprised was that the phone was ringing so loudly that it didn't attract "that thing"?

"Hello?" Lan Zhirou originally wanted to do a Moses to liven up the atmosphere, but after thinking about it carefully, it was better not to seek death like this.

"Hello... hello...?" The signal on the other end of the phone seemed to be poor and intermittent, but Lan Zhirou could barely make out that it was a woman's voice.

"I'm calling you. What's the matter?" In order to ensure that the call that might be a key clue would not be hung up, Lan Zhirou asked in a more polite tone.

"..." But after hearing Lan Zhirou's question, the other end of the phone fell silent, leaving only the sound of heavy breathing.

After two or three minutes, the woman spoke again: "...What happened to you?"

"What?" Lan Zhirou asked doubtfully. The woman on the other end of the phone obviously confused her with her unclear question.

"As usual, shouldn't you tell me that you are trapped here and hope that I can rescue you... There is a strange woman at home, and all the houses seem to be locked... Whether it is to call the police for help , or come to your residence, I hope I can save you... Shouldn't you be saying this? Isn't this what you want to see and what you want to happen? "

"I see...that's it. Did you finally choose a different path this time?"

"Do you know what happened to me?" Lan Zhirou is now speaking more like "she" in order to maintain the story itself and obtain more information, rather than speaking from Lan Zhirou's perspective. The boss is talking.

"My name is An Jinrou, but even if I introduce myself to you, you should have forgotten me long ago... To be precise, this is not the first time I have tried to save you. Before that, the same This has happened nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine times...I told you not to open that book, but you still didn't listen to me..."

"What book are you opening? I wasn't here from the beginning and don't remember anything?"

"... There is no point in telling you the truth. It will make things more troublesome. Since the future this time is different from the previous one, maybe this is the best opportunity to change the ending. You have to remember one thing, Even if you know some things, it won't help. It's better not to know from the beginning." The female voice on the other end of the phone was silent for a moment before continuing, "After you woke up, did you see a letter stapled to it? Letter with white poppy petals, have you read the contents?"

Lan Zhirou thought about it and realized that there were no envelopes or white poppy petals in those white papers, so she gave a negative answer on the phone.

"I see... It was wrong from the beginning... No wonder it turned out like this..." The woman's intermittent voice seemed to be full of regret and emotion. Finally, she sighed and said slowly: "Forget it... Since now You are different from the past. You must remember one thing well. Your experience comes from a book. The book has a black cover and is tied with a silver ribbon. The things written in it are not anyone's. Understandable. To solve all this, you have to find it, and as for your memory, that's not the most important thing right now."

"Book?" Lan Zhirou was stunned for a moment, and then took out a shabby ancient book from her backpack. The book did have a black cover, but it was not tied with a silver ribbon.

And the black cover + silver ribbon, this combination feels so familiar, where have you seen it before?

"What, have you seen it before?" A surprised voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Is it this book...?" On the phone, Lan Zhirou told the person on the other end of the phone about her discovery of the book and the appearance of the book, but a negative answer came from the other end of the phone.

"No...no, that book will not be damaged. It must still be somewhere in your home. You must find it. There is a dark red inverted pentagram painted on the back of the book, which is very... It may be placed at the scene of some kind of ceremony. After you find it, don't understand any of the contents. After erasing the five-pointed star on the book, burn the book..."

"You have woken up. It seems that you have made up your mind. As long as you drop... that book... you... will... escape... successfully... remember... understand...? Must... ...That book...dropped..."

The voice on the other end of the phone suddenly became intermittent, and there was a lot of noise. Lan Zhirou couldn't even hear what the last words she said meant.

"No matter what...give up, I must...live...before..."

After saying the last sentence, the phone suddenly returned to dead silence, without even the beeping sound of hanging up, just like when Lan Zhirou first encountered this landline phone.

"...Can Bai Jin scan the book she mentioned?" Lan Zhirou asked Bai Jin softly in her mind.

"No, at least there is nothing similar in the rooms that Zhirou has been to. Maybe the book is hidden in the "non-existent space" that Zhirou has been to before."
