Strange rules: starting with a white-haired beauty

"This crystal came from a fishing boat that disappeared many years ago. I don't know when it was."

"Impossible, it's only been eleven years. The ship sank in 1983." Lan Zhirou answered briefly. She was actually testing An Jinrou's reaction, and An Jinrou did as expected. He glanced at her in surprise, but made no explanation.

An Jinrou's reaction allowed Lan Zhirou to conclude that this crystal was indeed related to the crystal from 1982.

"There is something very important on that ship... I mean it is very useful to you. Of course, I don't intend to sell it to you. This is not just to help you, I also need something... important."

"Those things are hidden in the depths of darkness... It's unrealistic to rely on my power to find those relics, so I want to borrow your power." An Jinrou finished what she wanted to say slowly.

"If those things are in the depths of darkness...I guess they are all under the sea, then how can I retrieve these things? It can't be that everything on that boat is fish. I will show you a wisher to take the bait. .”

"You don't have to go to the sea to find these things yourself. They will always find the right person. I will tell you a spell about finding these things... It is very simple. You only need to determine their location and directly above them. Just recite this mantra..."

After answering Lan Zhirou's question, An Jinrou placed the half crystal pendant on the ground and recited the spell in front of Lan Zhirou, without even asking whether Lan Zhirou would accept her request.

“Listen to the prayers that come from beneath the stars.”

"Please allow the Star Gate to open again."

"In order to prevent this world from being blocked by the deep sea."

"To free the living forever from its bondage."

"To make Ituso sleep forever at the bottom of the sea."

"In order to return the dazzling black eyes to silence."

"Bright stars, please listen to my words here and make this complicated world peaceful again."

As if it could really understand An Jinrou's words, the half crystal pendant lit up with a faint red light, rose from the ground and returned to An Jinrou's hand.

An Jinrou opened her hand towards Lan Zhirou and handed back the half of the crystal pendant to her.

"You see, it's very simple... the things you are looking for are a harmonica in a thuja wood box, a hairpin inlaid with aquamarine, the other half of the crystal pendant you are holding, a pair of pink Plain glasses, a sterling silver brooch, and a pair of hollow and carved bracelets.”

"The other half of the crystal is currently placed in the lighthouse on Risheng Island. Apart from that, the rest..." After An Jinrou was silent for a moment, she took out a sea chart that was far bigger than that one. A detailed map was handed over to Lan Zhirou, "I can only tell you the approximate location. You can only find out where it is by yourself. You can try to see if there are any strange scenery on the sea at night. Maybe those things are... Hide there."

This was not a promise. From beginning to end, An Jinrou never asked her whether she wanted to accept this task.

She just gave Lan Zhirou a choice.

Naturally, Lan Zhirou and Charlotte hurried back to Risheng Island as An Jinrou wished. Of course they knew where the lighthouse was. After all, that thing had emitted a scarlet glow the day they first landed on the island. Leading light.

The half of the crystal was indeed suspended on the top floor of the lighthouse as An Jinrou said. It was very simple to get the crystal and no accident occurred.

But just as they left the lighthouse and walked to the bottom of the cliff, a young woman in ragged clothes who seemed to be picking up shells turned back, her eyes seemed extremely confused.

"You...why are you here?"

"What do you mean?" Lan Zhirou discovered something was wrong as soon as she heard this, because this sentence clearly explained one thing. This woman knew her just before on Yueluo Island, and it seemed that those people also knew her... ...To be precise, it’s the same as recognizing this identity.

"You should leave, leave now." The woman's state seemed a little crazy and unstable, "Here, there, and there, don't you see, they are all empty... You look for The things are gone long ago..."

"Let's go before darkness falls."

After the woman finished speaking, she picked up her basket with shells and limped to the other side of the beach without looking back.

……

……

On the other side, Tower Country player Lindsay Chu.

Lindsay judged that the rule about assisting others was correct, so she chose to deliver the items from the pawn house to the librarian, but the librarian looked a little... unusual, as the island For a clerical staff member, the librarian's clothes were surprisingly shabby, as if they were damaged in the Gulf War.

And if viewers of the live broadcast look carefully, this librarian seems a bit... familiar, with his cloudy eyes and crazy look, he looks familiar.

"Damn it, isn't that the crazy woman on the beach that Mr. Zhirou met? She is the librarian? Speaking of which, it seems that Mr. Zhirou has no intention of helping the owner of the pawn shop deliver goods?"

"Nonsense, didn't you watch the live broadcast? The rule about helping each other is wrong. How could Boss Zhirou go crazy and run to help the boss do such a thing? Isn't this a direct violation of the rules?"

"So Lindsay, doesn't this break the rules? Why does it feel like there is no punishment?"

"Hey...what's in that box? How could anyone entrust me with such a thing? Isn't it too disgusting?"

Under the confused gaze of the barrage, the "librarian" in Lindsay's world took the wooden box, slowly opened the upper lid, and took out the strip that had been scanned by Platinum before. It was unknown how long it had been corrupted. fish.

After hesitating for a moment, the librarian raised the fish and swallowed it alive, followed by a violent cough.

"..." The librarian who swallowed the fish shook her head, and her somewhat cloudy eyes became clear. She turned around and walked into the room without saying a word, removing a book from the room. He took it off the bookshelf and handed it to Lindsay who had been standing outside the door.

"You... need..." The librarian's voice seemed unusually stiff, and her eyesight was clearly clearer, but her behavior seemed even weirder than before.

After Lindsay took the book, the librarian slammed the door.
