Weird Regulator

The chill on Ji Li's body was burned away by the fire of ignorance. The heat wave on the shop seemed to really burn his pupils. The rolling flames really revealed the helpless breath of hell.

The burning smell of death kept drilling into the nose, making people feel as if they were in a vast hell, suffering and unable to get rid of it.

The pain and wailing happened beside his ears. The stubborn roar mixed with unexpected panic made him completely empathize with it, and even goose bumps appeared on his skin unnaturally.

He turned his head suddenly, and a raging fire had already started on the right side. A "fire man" who kept wailing was constantly hitting the wall with his head, causing the wall of books to be shaky.

In the sky-high fire, the books were burned and the store manager was burned.

Wei Guang's death did not cause any waves, but this second person who was burned by the fire struggled to roar out a one-word last words at the last moment.

After her last words, she died and turned into ashes, and the book wall on the south side collapsed.

After one wall fell, the new venue was unlocked.

Under the gaze of two piles of ashes, the remaining five store managers looked at the new area behind the wall with a very strange look.

Behind the wall, there is an incomplete bedroom.

Incomplete means literally, this is a half space facing the fireplace, with a half bed on the side, and the carpet was cut off.

It's like, in order to cater to the layout of the study space, a part of a complete bedroom was forcibly cut out and filled behind the wall.

As for the clues of this half bedroom, it is also very simple. There is a complete fireplace outside of half a carpet and half a bed.

The fire in this fireplace has been extinguished, but behind the black bricks, there is a pair of bare feet hanging straight down, slowly rippling with the heat wave brought by the burning books on the south wall of the study.

No one acted rashly, let alone went to explore the feet in the fireplace, because the two dead people were more important now.

The first person to die was Wei Guang, who had no last words.

The second person to die was Li Mochou, who had a last word of one word.

Then, everyone's eyes were focused on Huangfu Jiajia, who was staring at the pile of ashes in silence.

That was because the word Li Mochou said before she died was "shop".

This word was too easy to interpret in this situation. She was calling the store manager.

In theory, Li Mochou was the one with the lowest status among the eight people in Chenghu Fort. Her deputy store manager was temporarily selected last time and had very little experience.

Therefore, in the previous experience, no one paid too much attention to this little girl.

But at this moment, as the only deceased who left a last word, she was too important.

Hou Guisheng once again took the lead and attacked first, pointing the spearhead at Huangfu Jiajia, and asked sternly:

"Huangfu, she called out your name before she died, do you have an explanation?"

Huangfu Jiajia was still silent. She didn't even turn her head, but stared straight at the pile of ashes, as if she had lost her mind.

But at the same time, Clyde looked at Hou Guisheng with a doubtful look and said in a deep voice:

"Manager Hou, is your direction too extreme?

Both deaths occurred after you read the short article.

Why didn't you start from this aspect first, but directly fired at Manager Huangfu?"

Ji Li stood behind the desk, staring at the people in front of him who were tit-for-tat, and quietly retreated with a cane.

Abnormalities are being exposed on a large scale.

Hou Guisheng no longer hides. He madly and eagerly hopes that the store managers will have internal conflicts and always firmly believe in opposing ideas.

Li Mochou made an inexplicable accusation before her death for no reason, and shouted the word "store". How could she not know what kind of bad consequences this word would bring to Huangfu Jiajia?

Huangfu Jiajia, why is she silent, why is she staring at the ashes in a daze, did she realize something?

And...Luo Xian...

Ji Li almost forgot this person. He always habitually forgets this most important woman.

After Bai Lang, Hou Guisheng, Wei Guang, Li Mochou, and Huangfu Jiajia, Ji Li once again discovered Luo Xian's abnormality.

But Luo Xian's abnormality is more special than the previous five.

She is not abnormal in person, but her state is extremely strange.

Ji Li knew that Luo Xian had completed all the special projects, so he always paid attention to her before Orange Lake Castle, but since he arrived, he has forgotten it from time to time.

Even when the two fires were burning before, he couldn't remember what Luo Xian did at that time...

Among the eight people, six of them were found to have abnormalities by Ji Li, leaving only Clyde.

What is Clyde's abnormality?

Ji Li's eyes began to focus on the new store manager who had had many interactions with him, and he saw that he was trying his best to link death with the short article.

Clyde tried to change Hou Guisheng's mind through this idea, or point out the extreme of his consideration.

"Too correct..."

Ji Li couldn't help but recall Clyde's scenes since he came to Orange Lake Castle.

The visit to the art gallery was judged by his own experience;

The death of the White Wolf in the auditorium, his performance as a store manager who lost a team member;

After the fire burned two people to death, he faced Hou Guisheng's radical behavior and pointed out what is the most correct direction of thinking...

Clyde, from beginning to end, performed very "perfectly", without a single flaw.

The debate between Hou Guisheng and Clyde is still going on.

What Hou Guisheng argued is the content about the four "ta" in the first short article, and in connection with the concept of the Heart Devouring Demon, he firmly believed that there was a "demon" hidden in the eight-man store manager team.

Clyde strongly refuted this, believing that the content of the short article was unreliable and that the short article was created to make people suspicious of each other and confuse people.

To be fair, Clyde's idea was the most reliable and most likely to succeed among the two.

However, Hou Guisheng's idea might be another more convenient way, where a few people died until he was found and directly confronted.

On the way, Ji Li suddenly saw Huangfu Jiajia had reached the fireplace and had already grabbed her bare feet in the fireplace.

"Hiss!"

It sounded like a piece of leather being torn apart, interrupting everyone's thoughts and focusing everyone's attention on Huangfu Jiajia.

She was holding a pair of broken feet in her hands at the moment, with cracked rotten skin and flesh at the ankles.

Suddenly falling into silence, Huangfu Jiajia held the broken legs, raised a pair of bright eyes, and began to speak with a little rapid breathing:

"Mochou is dead. She called my name before she died because I was the one who killed her.

I was devoured by the Heart Devourer and turned into a demon.

I looked down not to look at Mochou's ashes, but to look at myself.

The person in this furnace is the real me, the one who has long been dead and rotten."

Huangfu Jiajia's tone was very strange, and her words were inexplicable and illogical.

According to her words, she seemed to have died a long time ago, and her body was hanging in the furnace, but she didn't know it before.

It was Li Mochou's call before her death that made her realize the changes in herself, so after self-examination, she found the body in the fireplace with a sense of the dark.

If this is the explanation, then the person devoured by the Heart Devourer, the "devil" that has been lurking inside the eight store managers, has exploded.

But things are definitely not that simple.

Then Huangfu Jiajia raised her finger and pointed at Hou Guisheng and others one by one.

"It's not just me. You are all substitutes for the Heart Eater. We are all dead and we all deserve to die."

After that.

After the south book wall collapsed, the east, west and north walls also collapsed at the same time. Since then, the study room has completely disappeared.

A larger space was exposed to everyone, and it merged into a complete bedroom from four directions.

At the same time, in addition to Huangfu Jiajia's body in the south fireplace, there were three bodies hanging in the other three directions, two of which were facing outwards, and they were Hou Guisheng and Clyde.

Only the last body had its back to everyone, and used its rotten back to hide its identity.

When the body corresponded to the store manager, Huangfu Jiajia, Hou Guisheng, and Clyde began to rot one after another.

When death was imminent, Luo Xian began to chant the third passage while wearing a mask:

"Heart-eating is the suffix of death, and transformation into a demon is the evidence of lies.

He, she, it, and it died with sins on their shoulders.

The living will eventually lose his favor, because even someone as clear-headed as you have already been heart-eating."

At this moment, Ji Li's expression changed drastically.
