Strange rules: starting with a white-haired beauty

[You can keep the lights on in the room until the sun completely sets, when the staff room is not so... chaotic. 】

[Once the sun goes down, be sure to turn off all light sources. After the light sources in the room are completely extinguished, you will feel a sense of unreasonable panic. This fear will even intensify in a few seconds. You will feel that there are countless people in any dark place. Only eyes are watching you. Don't worry, it's just "Tsubaki" wondering why the light source disappeared. No matter what you see, tell yourself that it is an illusion (even if you are 100% sure it is real), ignore it, and be sure to overcome your inner fear. Once Chun finds out you're scared...trust me, you won't want to know what will happen next. 】

[If there is anything that requires a light source to complete, you can use the candle on the silver candlestick in the cupboard. There is a matching ignition device in the cupboard, but be sure not to let even a little light shine out of the window in any way. Candles It must also be blown out within ten minutes, because you don't know if there is something staring at you outside the window at this time. 】

[Remind you again, don’t be curious about the current time, and don’t carry any device that can accurately tell you the time, especially when you are at night. Even if this night feels longer than any you've ever experienced, don't open the curtains to see where the moon is in the sky. 】

[Listen, there are already twenty-seven (crossed out) thirty-five (crossed out) one hundred and thirty-two (crossed out) two hundred and five victims in front of you. I want to say this to you. You can better understand how dangerous a situation you are getting into. 】

[Seeing this, you should be mentally prepared. The place you are now is the "employee lounge" of Abyss. No matter which campus it is in, the employee lounge is the employee lounge. It can be said that it is the safest place at night. A resting place... in a sense, especially when multiple people come in and another person can keep watch. In the past, food was only available "occasionally" in the break room, but since the discovery of..., you can now access food from the refrigerator in the employee break room at any time. You just need to pay attention to whether the appearance of the food conforms to common sense. 】

[Here are some employee break room considerations. 】

[Skylights, windows, doors: these three features should be present in any employee break room. If you find that they are not present, be sure to leave as soon as possible. Whether these structures are mechanical locks or electronic locks (although you are not supposed to see my message in the employee break room of electronic locks, if you do see it, it is more practical to go back and find the exit...) you You should choose two of them to be fully locked, and open the one you did not choose (at least it should be hidden) to ensure the air flow in the room. Please note that fully locked employee rooms are in most cases. It's safe, but if you don't want people to find you suffocating, you'd better not do it. The staff break room is oddly constructed, and otherwise you can't guarantee air is getting into the room. 】

[Gun: Very occasionally, you will find firearms in the employee lounge. They may have been brought in by a policeman, a hunter, or someone from another profession. The models are not fixed. There are civilian firearms. There are also police firearms. Among the... individuals who died here, only five were so lucky to find guns in the employee lounge, and they often died worse than others. As for why, because they are all brainless idiots, I hope you are not such a person. 】

[If you have such good luck, then I hope you are different from those people and can listen to what I say. Firearms can indeed deal with the products of the abyss to a certain extent, but it also means that you have to bear certain risks. To use a firearm, you must first ensure that your situation is "suitable" to use a firearm. Once you decide to shoot at night, it means that you are in a situation where you have no choice and have to choose to shoot - if you feel If you can solve the current dilemma in any other way, even if there is only a 30% chance of solving it, don't choose to shoot. 】

[Secondly, you need to know enough about firearms. Maybe you have seen some news about shootings that caused hand fractures... and you need enough bullets to ensure your retreat. When gunshots ring out in the night sky of the abyss, things that don't belong in the employee lounge will also be attracted to you, and you need to make sure you have enough bullets... to repel them one by one. Otherwise you will fall into a situation where you are attacked from both sides. This is the simplest mathematical question. Is 1 bigger or 1+1+1+1-1 bigger? 】

Lan Zhirou looked at the revolver in her hand, and then at the message she didn't know who left it. She silently took out six bullets and installed them all on the revolver.

By the way, Lan Zhirou also opened the refrigerator and took a look. She originally planned to check the food in the refrigerator, but she got an unexpected surprise. All the trays inside had been removed, and the empty fresh-keeping layer was lying quietly. She used Black A highland ax with an oxide blade surface. This highland ax is not as capable of breaking apart a huge piece of wood as a large logging ax, but it is still very easy to break a brick. Use it to break apart someone's The skull is definitely a good idea.

Next to it is a belt that can be used to hang a gun, and a medium-sized lightweight backpack, which contains a lot of edible canned food, and a note is attached to it.

"We are limited in how much we can help, but any one of us can make a sacrifice if you need it."

Lan Zhirou felt warm in her heart. It was precisely because of these unknown heroes that the Dragon Kingdom could persist for so long.

You can sacrifice yourself to help people in danger, and you can forget yourself when you help the world. Although it sounds too holy, these people may be policemen or soldiers, but it is precisely because of these people with brilliance beyond human nature that the world will not change. A world overrun by the maggots of refined egoism.

I looked out the window and it probably doesn’t mean “the sun has completely set.”

[Sleeping Pills: In the first closet from left to right, there is a bottle of special sleeping pills. No matter what ingredients you find, just treat it as a sleeping pill. If you find that you can't overcome your fear and get through the night safely, take it and have a good sleep. If you are lucky enough, you should be able to see the sun tomorrow. If you are not lucky enough, it can at least ensure that you are still a human being in the end... No matter what you discover or understand, it is best not to delve into the reason for the appearance of this bottle of sleeping pills. 】

[Candle: As mentioned before, a candle with a silver candlestick base is placed somewhere in this room. It can continue to burn for "infinite time". The light will alleviate your panic to a certain extent, but don't let the candle Always on. This candle must be blown out within ten minutes from the time it is lit (if not... it is okay to burn it for a longer time, but I will definitely not recommend anyone to try this), and cannot be blown out within an hour. reuse. The light of candles can drive away certain things. Candles are precious and should not be used casually. 】

When I saw this, many barrages started to discuss again.

"Huh? This rule seems to be contradictory. How should we judge this?"

"What rule is contradictory? Why didn't I see it?"

"As mentioned before, those who come need to destroy everything that allows people to understand time. At the same time, the term used at the beginning is "when the sun completely sets", not an accurate time."

"Then how can people who come here know the exact time after destroying things like watches and small alarm clocks? Ten minutes and an hour can only be approximated by feeling, right? Moreover, when people are extremely frightened, the flow of time will slow down physically. It may be that half an hour has passed, but you may only feel that twenty minutes have passed."

"So this candle is a trap?"

"Then how do I know-_-b"

In fact, Lan Zhirou, who is reading this strange book, does not have a headache about this problem. She does not need to understand time, as long as Lily understands time, what's the matter, can weirdness pollute artificial intelligence? As for the issue of sleeping, Lan Zhirou had no intention of sleeping, because judging from the previous diary of the mysterious woman, she would be refreshed even if she did not sleep in the employee lounge, but the opposite was true in the toilet. Although she could spend the night , but even if you sleep, your energy will become worse.

This is also a particularly important reason why she chose the employee lounge.

And Lan Zhirou also clearly felt that since entering the employee lounge, the headache disappeared instantly, and her mental state instantly improved a lot.

[Broadcaster: You read that right, move the wardrobe, and there is a secret door behind the wardrobe. The employee lounge was originally a radio station (don’t ask which employee lounge it is, the employee lounge is the employee lounge). I don’t know why it was transformed into what it is now. With the radio station, you can use the radio to play noises all over the Abyss to attract something to investigate, which will help you survive the night a lot - also be careful, due to aging, whether it's the wardrobe or The secret door itself will make a lot of noise, so you have to make sure nothing is noticed before doing so. 】

(A piece of writing that is obviously different) [Backup generator: After dark, the Zoo and Botanical Garden will completely turn off all lights - by cutting off the power. But hidden somewhere outside the employee break room is a backup electrical box for emergencies. Once you pull the switch next to the electrical box, the backup power supply is fully activated, causing power to be restored throughout the Zoo and Botanic Gardens, and all the light sources to be turned back on. They are not all aligned, so this will buy you some time on your special occasion. 】

[The above are the special precautions I want to tell you. There are still some messy things in the employee lounge, which I will mention later. But there is another thing, you can choose to spend the night sleeping, or you can tense your nerves all night long. If you choose to sleep, you must have some kind of device that can wake you up at a specific moment (if you are a plural group with a vigil, that would be great.) Although each time at this specific time There will be a slight vibration in the staff room, but I'm not sure you will wake up from it. I suggest you keep an eye on the situation throughout the night. 】

[As for why...because things that are not consistent with common sense can happen at any time near the employee lounge, I will teach you how to judge these things. I will tell you how to deal with most situations, but I can't tell you what exactly you are encountering now. This can only be judged by yourself based on the situation at the time. 】

[Having said all this, I haven’t introduced myself yet. My name is "Viper", to be precise, that is what I am called now. As for why I got this name, if you are as unlucky as me, you will understand if you have been to the Exotic Botanical Garden... But don't let it be because of these two I will believe any message I write. Putting aside the issue of disguise between people, I am not the only one who can be called by this name. The creations of "Chun" will also use my name to deceive people - —Even using my image, so it doesn’t matter what I look like or who I am. In the abyss, this is just a skin that anyone can use. 】

[Perhaps when you see me, I will already be a cold corpse. I have been trapped here for who knows how long, just like the other people who left precious notes here. If you are not so lucky, I hope you can, like me, record everything you see and leave it to the next person in need. There will always be someone, one day someone will escape from this damn ghost place. . Write down your treasures on a blank page, and then put it under the sofa so that it won’t be discovered by those things...]

[I don’t know why, while writing this content, I always feel a noise like electronic interference in my ears. It seems that I am really too tired recently. This should be a symptom of auditory hallucinations...]

"Wow...it's so weird, the employee lounge is so complicated." It took a while, but Lan Zhirou finished reading the "Preface" part of the book, and some of the following page numbers were posted with post-it notes. , the exposed parts were written with things like "owl", "wendigo", "exotic wood", etc. Apparently someone used these things as bookmarks.

After seeing Viper's message, Lan Zhirou's first reaction was that she was "induced" just like the mysterious woman who left the diary before. Obviously the employee lounge is by no means a good place, but the employee who left the diary before The woman in the diary was lured to the employee lounge by "Viper", and Mo Jinnian waited for her behavior in the evening, as if she had no choice.

But she didn't think that much at the time. She just preconceived the idea that "Mo Jinnian is a human being, at least safer than being weird."
