Weird Regulator

Ji Li looked up from the album thoughtfully, only to see a blurry face standing behind him in the mirror, looking at him.

He frowned and turned back, but saw no one, so he returned his gaze to the mirror.

The person is still there, wearing a fluttering white dress and still looking very thin and thin in the orange room.

Different from the last time we met, its body was no longer shining with a strange white light, and everything was as usual.

But its face was still unclear, as if it was obscured by a mist.

Of course Ji Li knew who it was and why it came here, but when he saw it, he couldn't help but think of Yu Guo.

After a moment of silence, he returned his attention to the album and casually said, "Sit down."

…

On the eleventh page of the picture album, this page is cut into two parts, indicating that the two parts are going on at the same time.

The first half shows Yu Guo standing in front of a large floor-to-ceiling mirror, with his face reflected in it, and his eyes full of confusion.

The second half shows Ah Lian running wildly in a blizzard. The sky is half dark and half bright, indicating that she is about to break into an unknown territory.

On the twelfth page of the album, Yu Guo and Director Wang stood on both sides, looking at the room in front of them in a tense manner, communicating something. The house number above was "1715".

On page 13 of the picture album, the protagonist is replaced by the store manager. The strange woman is holding a hammer high in her hand. The thing she wants to smash is a locked drawer.

…

Although the information in these three pages of story is not obvious, Ji Li can fully understand it with his familiarity with Tiannan College.

As guessed in the mission, the 2014 batch of store clerks took the same path as them.

Follow five special paths to the Ghost Academy, where you will get the ultimate survival tips from the dean’s file.

At this stage, Yu Guo should have obtained the mirror artifact, and at the same time became the owner of the special path on the E-2 floor by chance.

However, the purpose of this sinful object was not reflected, but judging from Yu Guo's expression, its effect should be beyond his expectation, and its effect even confused him.

At the same time, the failure of the 2014 mission also emerged. As the leader of the store staff, a strange woman made an extremely wrong decision.

What she wanted to smash with the hammer was the drawer in the vice-dean's office, and it was the vice-dean's office in the ghost college.

In this drawer, all the rules of Tiannan College are hidden.

Ji Li guessed that the strange woman's goal was to destroy Tiannan's code, thinking that this was the way to survive.

But he had been the deputy dean for a period of time, especially after Tian Nan's secrets were revealed to him, this way of life was obviously a big mistake.

Not to mention whether her life path can be established, even if it succeeds, it will be equivalent to unlocking all the restrictions of the entire university and endless ghosts.

The strange woman's move couldn't be more stupid. She didn't realize that with the strength of these people, it was completely impossible to escape from a group of unrestricted ghosts to the main entrance.

Ji Li no longer wanted to watch this woman's role. He hoped that all subsequent stories would feature Yu Guo as the protagonist.

Because from the current point of view, Yu Guo should be the only one closest to survival, and he is focusing on the archives.

…

On the fourteenth page of the album, Ah Lian appeared in a dark corridor. Something seemed to be chasing her behind her, causing her face to appear horrifyingly distorted.

On page 15 of the album, Yu Guo and Director Wang are standing in front of a safe, entering the password.

On page 16 of the album, the safe was opened. There was something inside, a red seal. However, Yu Guo's eyes did not fall on the cabinet. Instead, he turned his head and stared at the camera.

On the seventeenth page of the album, one corpse after another was found dead in every corner of the Ghost Academy, and a large amount of darkness pressed towards the E-3 floor.

…

It's the E-3 floor again.

Ji Li finally understood why in 2014, Yu Guo ended up defeated even though his path to life was extremely accurate.

First, it was the strange woman's decision-making failure that caused the ghost academy to fall into an unsolvable dead end.

Second, it was Yu Guo who took away the mirror in advance, causing the key survival prompt E-2 floor to disappear. He found the wrong prompt location and went to E-3 floor.

Judging from the scene on page 16 where Yu Guo looked back, he must have guessed his mistake.

He intended to use the mirror to return to the E-2 floor to search again, but the scene on page 17 completely cost him the chance to make amends.

The Tiannan mission in 2014 also lasted one day and two nights, and it was almost over.

Ji Li turned to page 18 of the album. What he really wanted to see was why Yu Guo survived in this situation, and why his memory was misaligned with Ah Lian's experience.

…

On page 18 of the picture album, Ah Lian, who was looking for her husband on a snowy night, found her missing husband in a certain death situation. The prospective couple, who were about to enter the marriage hall, embraced each other in the darkness.

On page 19 of the album, two hands are held together, the white skirt and the black clothes are entangled with each other. Behind the ferocious waves of ghosts are men in black holding high black umbrellas.

On page 20 of the picture album, Yu Guo and Ah Lian looked at each other, speaking softly with expressions on their faces. A mirror blocked the ghost tide, shrouding their figures.

In the mirror, the bodies of Yu Guo and Ah Lian briefly overlapped, then misaligned, until they were completely moving in opposite directions.

On the twenty-first page of the album, the snow stopped, the sky was clear, the wind was gentle and the sun was shining brightly. Yu Guo woke up from the sofa in the wedding room, scratched his hair with the hand with the wedding ring, and looked at the wedding photos in the living room.

In that photo, Yu Guo was wearing a suit and smiling happily, with his left hand hanging in the air. He should be hugging a woman in a wedding dress.

However, the wife's original position was now blank.

…

Yu Guo's smiling face in the wedding photos was more relaxed than every time Ji Li had seen him, and he was so satisfied that he had never seen before.

And Ji Li finally understood the truth behind this mystery that had been entangled for nearly two years.

The mirror artifact obtained by Yu Guo on the E-2 floor should have the effect of allowing two people who look in the mirror at the same time to exchange identities.

When the ghost tide was about to devour them, Yu Guo tried to use this mirror to exchange his identity for Ah Lian in order to save Ah Lian's life.

From this point of view, Yu Guo's status in Tiannan College should have some special permissions.

At the critical moment, he hoped to give this only privilege to Ah Lian, so as to give his fiancée a chance to survive in the wave of ghosts.

But the truth of the story was far more absurd than he imagined.

Judging from what happened later, Yu Guo's privileges were indeed effective. Ah Lian did not die in the hands of Gui Chao, but she completely lost herself and became a very special identity in the academy.

And because Ah Lian's original identity was an ordinary person, after Yu Guo exchanged identities with him, he was directly judged by Tianhai as not being a clerk and was expelled from the mission at half time.

As for... why Ah Lian can enter the mission, but Yu Guo is expelled from the mission.

This may be related to the mirror. After all, it is a sinful object from the root ghost of Tiannan College, and its effect is unpredictable.

But in short, at the end of this story, Yu Guo's identity is exchanged with Ah Lian.

He didn't remember that he had ever been a clerk. He only remembered that Ah Lian, a person very important to him, disappeared into Tiannan College. He wanted to find his wife.

Therefore, repeated temptations on the edge of the supernatural brought him back to Tianhai Hotel, giving him the opportunity to return to Tiannan Drama Academy.

And this will definitely be the end of Yu Guo's fate.

…

Ji Li closed the picture album and tried to end the story between Yu Guo and Ah Lian.

Now that he is the principal of Tiannan College, he certainly knows what Ah Lian's identity is - the code enforcer.

This was once Yu Guo's identity, a tragic symbol who could live forever but was neither human nor ghost.

Tricked by fate, he personally sent the one he loved to hell, and then abandoned everything and plunged into the same hell.

Ji Li had the right and ability to save Ah Lian from this never-ending fate, but he did not do so, and she did not want to do so.

Because this reincarnation is far from over yet.

Yu Guo's ghost remains in the broken Tiannan Drama Academy, and Ah Lian wants to continue the story of "him and her" forever.

In the dimly lit guard room, Ah Lian sat silently in the light, his eyes piercing through the wind and snow, watching this hell without giving up.

Because there are traces of his existence in this hell, these long years are not so difficult for her.

The story between him and her will never end. They will "stay together" at Tiannan Drama Academy, even if they never meet each other.
