Weird Regulator

"Tick tock, tick tock..."

The clear water droplets hit Ji Li's forehead, moistening the long hair, and touching his sleeping heart and soul.

In the silence where a needle could be heard, he slowly opened his gray-black eyes and looked up at this new environment.

After the familiar feeling of dizziness passed, the survey of the overall environment was completed, because this place is too small and you can see the end at a glance.

This is a long stone chamber with an effective area of ​​less than 5 square meters. Standing here seems extremely suffocating. If you are of Wang Dajui's stature, you may feel a strong sense of suffocation.

There was nothing inside the stone chamber. The top, bottom, left, and right sides were all covered by hard stone walls. Ji Li knocked twice with his stick, and the feedback was very dull, indicating that there was no secret passage.

As for the door of this stone chamber, it is a solid iron bar welded by large steel bars as thick as an adult's arm.

Outside the door was pitch black darkness. The area there didn't seem too big, but there was almost no light source there, so I had no idea what was going on there.

Ji Li stood in front of the door, pressed his hand on the iron railing and shook it vigorously for a few times. When he found that it was not moving, he took out a lighter to light up and looked at the lock outside the iron railing.

The lock was as big as an adult's fist. It was locked tightly and it was absolutely impossible to open it without a key or an outsider opening the door.

At this point, three or two glances were enough to determine the situation - he was trapped.

Ji Li confirmed the situation with three glances - he was trapped.

This 5-square-meter stone room is a prison, and "someone" locked him in it, waiting for the official start of the special project.

If you think about it further, then the other store clerks involved in this project should also be in the same environment, but they have not yet awakened.

Ji Li stared into the darkness across the iron bars without moving or speaking.

But he didn't say anything, but someone couldn't bear the loneliness and depression, and a slightly anxious male voice came from not far away.

"Is there anyone? What is going on? Is there anyone?"

The voice came from the left side, but the distance should be four or five meters. Ji Li could not identify the owner of the voice. He thought it was a strange store clerk with whom he had never interacted.

After he spoke, Ji Li realized something, which might be called a detail worth paying attention to.

That is, when the man speaks, the entire area has a slight echo, which shows that they are in a relatively empty area.

At the same time, because the man was not clear about the situation, he did not dare to speak too loudly, and his voice was weak with fear in the middle of his speech.

But even so, Ji Li was able to hear every word he said very clearly, as if they were right next to his ears. Even the vibrato of the last two words was particularly clear.

"The prison is closed, the environment is empty, and the human voice is enhanced..."

This is the first-hand information currently available.

With the first person speaking first, other people involved in this special project were awakened, and then a situation similar to the last project occurred.

For a moment, a variety of voices came from all directions, and the shop assistants' chatter filled the empty area with noisy echoes.

Ji Li did not participate, but listened quietly to the corresponding positions of each sound.

Currently, there are five different voices, three men and two women. Based on the cell where Ji Li is located, there are three on the left and two on the right.

There was a female voice that was very familiar to him. It was Hu Li from the Tenth Store who came with him.

According to the distribution of sound, this project area should be a ring structure.

Each clerk's cell is roughly spaced about two meters apart, and so on until it forms a complete circle.

The vision was pitch black, but Ji Li had already drawn a general sketch of the situation in his mind.

A circular area, there may be some other unknown objects in the field, but the overall feeling is empty.

At the edge of this circle, cells are blocked one after another, and the clerks are trapped in them.

However, judging by the distance, apart from Ji Li and the five known people, there should be another cell in the area to his right.

Otherwise, this "circle" will appear to be broken and not evenly divided.

In other words, there are seven participants in this special project.

Sure enough.

Just after this idea was implemented, Ji Li heard a male voice with a slightly nasal sound and a middle-aged voice about five meters to the right.

"Everyone, please be quiet. I am Shao Yong'an from the Sixth Branch. Please listen to me first.

You should stop making noises and think about the last words you heard before coming here. "

The sixth branch, Shao Yongan.

The name Ji Li was very impressive, and he was very familiar with this person.

During the Nong Yueke mission, this middle-aged man with an unattractive appearance, partnered with Wen Yongxin, almost beat Ji Li and Li Yi, and was only one step away from completing their escape.

The extremely intelligent Wen Yongxin had died on Trojan Horse No. 12, but the appearance of Shao Yongan this time brought different information.

Others might not be able to tell from this sentence, but Ji Li immediately realized that this Shao Yongan must have carried out special projects!

The special project is different from other projects. Its game goals and rewards are all informed by the clown at the moment of coma.

If you are weak-willed, you may simply faint and die if you cannot hear the rules clearly.

Even Ji Li only recalled the first time after entering the project, but Shao Yongan was silent for a long time, and the first sentence he spoke directly pointed to the "project rules", which shows that he must have had experience in dealing with similar situations.

Just as Ji Li was thinking, Shao Yongan's second sentence also showed his unique insight.

"There are six of us now. Is there another person in the cell five meters to my left?

If you are awake, answer me."

Ji Li in the dark was pointed at by the words. Hearing this, he showed a very obscure smile in his eyes, thinking in his heart:

"This person is extraordinary, what a pity."

He originally hoped to obtain more information in secret, and now that Shao Yongan pointed it out, he naturally didn't need to hide it, so he simply said:

"I am Ji Li."

The woman next to him on the left shouted as soon as she heard these two words:

"Manager, manager, I am Hu Li, what is going on, do you know it well?"

Hu Li is indeed a little smart, but she is also really annoying.

She was quick-witted. When she realized that Ji Li had already woken up but had been observing silently, she realized that he was particularly relaxed.

Only those with relevant experience can relax, and this point was instantly captured by her.

But she should not have made it clear in such a public way. The specific project process has not yet been announced. Her words might make Ji Li the focus of everyone, and even cause suspicion.

"Ji Li? He is the manager of the seventh branch!"

"Not only did they occupy the entire indoor game area, but they also destroyed the project. Now Ji Li himself has been arrested."

"Ji Li, Manager Ji, do you really know the inside story and choose to remain silent? Can you show mercy and tell us?"

"..."

As expected, Hu Li's words completely turned Ji Li into the target of everyone's questioning.

In the dark, Ji Li's face did not change at all, but his eyes had begun to show coldness, and he did not answer any questions.

"Oh no, he is also..."

And when Shao Yongan heard that Ji Li was also there, his heart sank.

Others didn't know how special the special project was, but he knew it very well, because he had cleared the special project twice in a row before, and collected two arc patterns on the admission ticket.

Perhaps because of the multiple clearance times, Shao Yongan caught a hidden rule that Ji Li had not yet understood.

And this rule was enough to drive people to a dead end.
