Strange rules: starting with a white-haired beauty

After closing the curator's diary, Lan Zhirou looked at the sky outside the sky window in ecstasy.

In any moral dilemma, Lan Zhirou always prefers the conservative side, but at this time, Lan Zhirou realized how powerless she would be if faced with such a situation in reality.

If the curator were replaced by her, the situation would only get worse.

It is precisely because of the "self-righteous justice" of the curator that the Reptile House has become the only safe haven in this abyss. Lan Zhirou never agrees with this approach of asking others to make "necessary sacrifices", but It was precisely because of what the curator had done that she was able to spend the long night here.

Maybe the curator had her own selfish motives, but she was dead. From the moment she was willing to sacrifice directly for the sake of justice, many reasons to criticize her from the highest moral point no longer existed.

The day she turned into a dragon, she would kill herself with her own hands, and she did what she said.

People with "self-righteous justice" are willing to sacrifice their lives for the sake of the world.

"Please... rest in peace." Lan Zhirou bowed gently to the curator's body that had turned into a Wendigo, and then touched the tattoo on the other arm with her hand, "I will follow the instructions Your last wish is to turn the abyss into ashes. If I cannot do this, I will wait until someone who can complete this thing appears and inherit this first fire to her."

"May the fire of humanity never be extinguished, and may your soul be finally redeemed."

The soft whisper was the response to the words in the underground passage.

The reptile house trembled slowly, then returned to calm, as if it recognized Lan Zhirou's taking over.

Lan Zhirou is not that pedantic person. She knows that she can only move forward now, otherwise these souls will really be sacrificed in vain.

……

……

After resting for a night in the reptile house, Lan Zhirou walked through the underground passage and returned to the central park again.

The entire central park is composed of a forest of peculiar deciduous trees. There is only one path from the central park to the giant tree at the center of the Zoological and Botanical Gardens, and no matter what, it has to pass through the most dangerous "deciduous landscape area."

But Lan Zhirou only saw a tree-lined path made of cement.

[Rule 2: There is only one dirt road made of gravel in the fallen leaf landscape area of ​​this park. There is only one dirt road. There are no cement roads, brick roads, or asphalt roads leading to the fallen leaf landscape area. 】

"Are you red and warm already? The curator noticed me, and so did you, right." Lan Zhirou muttered to herself as she stared at the cement path in front of her.

During this period, Lan Zhirou analyzed all the rules and deduced based on the clues during this period that this situation of branching roads would most likely only occur when the sanity value is too low. Now when she plans to go to the central park , and found the concrete road directly, which can only mean one thing - Abyss is already in a hurry and has no patience to continue playing with her.

"Should I use my talent to force my way through..." Lan Zhirou asked herself in her mind. After a moment, she shook her head and gave up the idea.

Even the Iron Tower Kingdom decided to give up the last opportunity to remind Albon to form an alliance with him. Combined with the fact that he has not seen many players during this period, it can only mean one thing. There should be not many people left alive... If Janet is still alive, the risk of using her powers again is too great...

Moreover, the place where the cement road leads may not be where she wants to go.

No matter how you calculate this deal, it doesn't look right.

[Rule 2: Please do not go to the extra road, tell yourself that it is an illusion, and report the matter to the staff in green clothes immediately. 】

"It seems that this is the only way." After reading Rule 2 again, Lan Zhirou sighed again, turned around and prepared to leave the central park to find a staff member in green clothes.

"Lan Zhirou~" A clear voice came from behind, and there was no doubt that it was Janet's voice.

But not only did Lan Zhirou not feel happy that her friend was still alive, but instead, goosebumps appeared uncontrollably on her back.

Janet would only call her "Zhirou" or "Teacher Zhirou". She had never called her by her first name. At that moment, Lan Zhirou was 10000% sure that the voice calling her behind her was not Janet at all. Special, not even a human being.

"Master, what's wrong? Lily detected the master's adrenaline surge, and the master seemed to be in a state of extreme nervousness."

"Lily, what's behind me?" Lan Zhirou communicated to Lily, while her hand had already touched the holster of the pistol.

"Behind the master... huh? Isn't it a forest? Is there nothing?" Lily's tone was a little more humane and doubtful. In Lily's field of vision, there was really nothing behind Lan Zhirou— —In fact, the same is true, except for those trees that are not quite normal.

"Lan Zhirou~ What's wrong? Why are you ignoring me? Have you forgotten that we met in the Owl Park?" Seemingly seeing Lan Zhirou's lack of reaction, the tone of her voice became a little more dissatisfied and she said coquettishly. .

Although the audience outside the screen could not see anything behind Lan Zhirou, they could clearly hear the voice.

Everyone was standing on their heads, and the voice sounded exactly like the source of the voice behind them.

"I...Idiot, what is that? There is obviously no one behind her, but that voice is exactly the same as the person she met in the Owl Park. What is that person's name, Janet? Is it her fault? ?”

"Don't be ridiculous. The player from Zealandia is still sleeping in the souvenir shop. He hasn't woken up yet. It's only Lan Zhirou who didn't sleep all night that allowed him to set off so early."

"It's the sound made by trees...Rule 5 once said that plants will not call your name with a human-like sound, let alone the sound of a person you are familiar with. I don't remember the specifics, but it's probably That’s what it means. In short, this rule actually says that the tree will make this sound, but you have to treat it as an illusion and never look back.”

"Then it will happen if you look back?"

"How do I know? I've never gone in before. Why don't you try?"

"If it was really those trees that made the sound, why didn't those trees do the same thing when Lan Zhirou passed by here at night?"

"Bullshit, didn't you watch the previous live broadcast carefully? The curator's diary said that she suppressed some of the things hidden behind the rules. Now that the curator is dead, all the ghosts and ghosts have naturally come out. Although the curator It is true that she killed many innocent people, but I think...she was actually helpless, otherwise she would not have chosen to commit suicide to complete the torch."

"Speaking of which, I guess turning back may not be possible, but it will greatly weaken the players' mental strength. The same should be true for those so-called separated friends and relatives. I wonder if your family told you a ghost story when you were young. ?”

"What ghost story?"

"The story of three fires in a person's body."

There are three fires in a person's body, and when they are all lit, all evil will not invade. There is no such thing as looking back when walking at night. If you hear someone calling your name while walking at night, don't look back suddenly.

While the barrage was being discussed, Lan Zhirou also remembered this legend.
