Weird Regulator

Lu Chen, how did he die?

It was not until nearly a day and night that Xue Tinghai finally gave the real answer.

As the administrator of the boys' dormitory, he had no choice but to kill the supervisor and open up a white fog path, but was delayed for a whole hour in a crisis caused by Shan Xin.

This is the mission, a small and inconspicuous problem can quietly destroy the entire team.

Originally, the boys' and girls' dormitories were the easiest of the two lines. They were supposed to start walking straight to the main entrance as soon as they entered at 8pm.

But due to Shan Xin's miracle and Chang Lai's recklessness, the operation was not only delayed for an hour, but also cost a clerk.

The left side of Xue Tinghai's face was angry, and the right side was ferocious. When he looked up at the sky, the white mist covering his eyes was no longer as thick as before.

Chang Lai's photos caused part of the NPC ghost's power to invade and kill people. Even if Chang Lai sacrificed his life, it still had a considerable impact on the special path.

This path is now exposed in the ghost academy, and is getting thinner at a speed visible to the naked eye. Even the figure of Li Cheng, the guide, has begun to fade.

Qiu Taoyu? Qiu Taoyu, where are you?

Xue Tinghai had no choice but to turn to Qiu Taoyu, who was also on the White Mist Path, hoping that the two barriers would merge and coexist.

Door...tree...three...

There was an intermittent sound coming from the communicator, and the sound sounded very weird.

It was dull and blurry, like a person whose mouth was blocked by something and could only make a whimpering sound.

When Xue Tinghai heard this, he immediately raised his brows. He suddenly turned around and looked at the girls' dormitory, which was only separated by a flower bed. The main entrance there was tight and dark.

The girls' dormitory was extremely quiet, not a single light was on inside, but there were several dark figures lingering in the window, as if snooping.

problem occurs?

Shan Xin was wrapped in cotton clothes and walked through the white mist to get closer. He also heard Qiu Taoyu's response, but it was not so clear.

Xue Tinghai's left eye flashed with doubt and contemplation. He stood there and asked again after a moment:

You repeat that?

...

There was no human voice response in the communicator, but there were some subtle sounds when the electric current was transmitted, which meant that Qiu Taoyu was speaking, but it could not be heard.

Xue Tinghai immediately understood that there was an accident in the girls' dormitory, and Qiu Taoyu was trapped.

He began to think about the meaning of those three words that were spoken earlier.

Door, tree, three...

The first thing Shan Xin looked at was the door of the girls' dormitory, and he immediately moved his gaze to the three dead old men next to the main door, pointed with his finger and said:

Do these three words mean that she is trapped at the door of the women's dormitory, near the third tree?

Xue Tinghai raised his hand, looked at the black shadows flashing on the windows of the girls' dormitory, and whispered:

Qiu Taoyu will not be trapped outside the dormitory, otherwise with the protection of white mist, she will not be attacked by supernatural beings.

...

Another burst of electric sound came, and Qiu Taoyu responded to this sentence, but it was impossible for anyone to hear clearly.

However, judging from the responses of Shan Xin and Xue Tinghai's two analyzes, Qiu Taoyu is obviously on Xue Tinghai's side.

Xue Tinghai narrowed his eyes slightly and realized that his thinking was correct, so he analyzed it downwards:

But she couldn't be trapped in the women's dormitory, otherwise she wouldn't have asked us to save her, let alone send out the request for help.

So she should be near the main entrance now, and the boundary of this location is very blurry, it can be counted as inside the bed or outside the bed.

...

When Qiu Taoyu responded this time, the electric sound fluctuated violently, which was obviously a change in mood.

This also deepened Xue Tinghai's confidence, and he began to lead Bai Wu toward the main entrance of the girls' dormitory.

As he walked, he noticed that in the windows of the girls' dormitory, there were vague figures moving inside, as if they were searching for something.

This also confirmed his idea that Qiu Taoyu was trapped, but the purpose was to avoid pursuit and be safe for the time being.

But there was not much time left for Xue Tinghai. His white mist had thinned to only one third, and he had to join it as soon as possible.

Shan Xin lingered on each window, looked at the outside of the stairs and muttered:

Door, tree, three, these three keywords, if combined with blurred boundaries, what kind of place will it be...

After inspecting the side of the main entrance, Xue Tinghai found nothing unusual. He stopped under the window sill outside the building and suddenly said:

No, my thinking is wrong.

Qiu Taoyu obviously knew her situation, so the hint she gave could not be a complete sentence.

Door, tree, and three should each represent some kind of information.

Xue Tinghai understood that door must refer to the main entrance, because there is only one door in the girls' dormitory, and the first word obviously limited the direction.

As for the trees, he focused on the three dead trees outside the girls' dormitory.

Although I don't know how Qiu Taoyu calculated three, he had searched in the corresponding rooms on the left and right, and there was nothing that could be called blurred boundaries.

Xue Tinghai started walking along the outside of the building again, constantly integrating clues in his mind, and suddenly he stopped.

He lowered his head and walked back along the outside of the window sill. He stopped around the second window sill next to the main door and squatted down.

He used his hands to clear away the snow on the ground, and soon a hidden drainage outlet was revealed.

Shan Xin's eyes lit up when he saw it, and he quickly squatted down and took out a flashlight to illuminate it.

Xue Tinghai glanced at him, took out a short hammer from his backpack and hit the shell of the drain outlet hard.

The shell of the pipe, which was already cracked by freezing, shattered with the sound, and a pipe blocked by dried mud appeared in front of him.

And traces of white smoke are constantly seeping out from these hardened soil clods.

Could this be what those three words mean? Shan Xin exclaimed.

Xue Tinghai ignored it and started digging directly to clear out the blocked soil.

Then thick white mist began to be released along the inside of the pipe. In less than five seconds, it filled the white mist barrier where Xue Tinghai was, allowing it to continue to solidify.

At the same time, a pale-faced woman wearing black clothes suddenly appeared out of the white mist and kept coughing.

When Xue Tinghai saw her appearance, he breathed a sigh of relief. The corners of his mouth twitched and he said:

It seems that you also had a hard time in the girls' dormitory.

Qiu Taoyu reappeared an hour later, looking like he was seriously ill. He was coughing and vomiting blood, and said hoarsely:

The female hostess chased me so hard that she chased me all the way to the ghost college.

I had no choice but to use the crime object to eliminate the entity, and prepared to blend into the white mist and get out of the drain. But I didn't expect that it would be blocked if it was not used for too long.

I've been stuck here for half an hour...

After hearing this, Shan Xin sighed, secretly saying that this mission was really a bump in the road, and then asked in confusion:

Then what does the 'door, tree, three' you gave me have to do with the drainage outlet?

Qiu Taoyu was a little confused when she saw him, because she found that the man's appearance was very strange, but his figure was particularly familiar, and he seemed to be a member of another branch.

Xue Tinghai waved his hand and explained while turning back:

“Her voice transmission was inaccurate due to the blurring of location boundaries.

It’s true that the gate refers to the main entrance, but ‘tree’ actually means ‘water’, and ‘三’ means ‘scattered’.

I didn't expect this at first, but after searching outside the building to no avail, I began to guess that she might be trapped in a blind spot.

As a dormitory manager, I am very familiar with the structure of the dormitory. There is indeed such a location that connects the inside and outside of the dormitory, with unclear boundaries.

It is this abandoned drainage ditch buried in snow, and it corresponds to the three similar prompts.

…

Vice President Ji, your team members are very powerful, even more powerful than our group back then. What is the identity of this person who is speaking?

Director Wang put one hand on the door lock and held an alarm clock in the other hand, asking Ji Li with interest.

The manager of the fourth branch.

It was Song Yitong who answered her. Ji Li just stood at the window looking down at the campus. From this perspective, Xue Tinghai and others could not be seen.

However, his communicator could clearly hear what happened at this time.

Director Wang nodded and looked at Ji Li's back thoughtfully.

It turned out to be a person of this level...

No wonder you didn't mention that Xue Tinghai and Qiu Taoyu would die at all in your bet, but directly bet on whether they would come looking for you.

But in one minute, the sweeping of the building will begin, a purge of humans and ghosts covering the entire hospital.

I have tried my best to help them, but the survival rate is still not high.

Ji Li didn't respond. He just looked at the campus under the snowy night, lowered his head and lit a cigarette.

The first puff of smoke hit the glass, completely covering his expression reflected in the window.
