Weird Regulator

At 7pm, the wide staircase of the east building.

Lan Yu held a notebook with his left hand wearing a black leather glove, and a fountain pen in his right hand, taking notes as he climbed the stairs.

A strand of hair hit his frameless glasses, his eyes were clear and calm, and he walked calmly.

In that notebook, he wrote countless words, until he finally circled one of the lines and wrote down the comments of the previous hour:

"Tongue extraction."

The notebook was pinched and closed by his left prosthesis. Lan Yu raised his head and looked at a quiet staircase, and glanced at the corridor on the right with a sense of something.

That was the northwest of the 6th floor, and the elevator was gradually moving upwards from there.

This small detail meant that someone had arrived at the meeting point on the 9th floor, but it also meant that before 7pm, the elevator stopped on the 6th floor.

"Could it be that someone left early and stayed on the 6th floor?"

Maybe Lan Yu was not the smartest deputy store manager of the first branch, but his ability to process information was definitely second to none among the ten branches.

This ability can be called a talent, but what really made him reach the pinnacle was that in a certain mission in the past, a ghost that specifically targeted "thinking logic" influenced him.

It's better to say that it's a transformation than an influence.

A method that should have been able to influence the breadth, depth and depth of human thinking has doubled the improvement of Lan Yu, who is already good at processing information.

As a result, Lan Yu has become a top figure in processing information and real-time calculations.

Many details can be processed, analyzed, and disintegrated in his mind with just one glance, and finally he can even deduce various possible developments in the future.

"Two possibilities.

Either there is a less cautious clerk living on the 6th floor, who misjudged the situation and went out;

Or there are ghosts who explored the 6th floor, indicating that the 6th floor has some special properties for this mission."

It must be said that Lan Yu's ability is really terrifying.

Because each of his two analyses is extremely correct, and when combined together, it is the truth.

Maybe this is why Tianhai said that Lan Yu's joining can reduce the difficulty of the mission.

But now there are more important things, and the human brain has its limits, so he will not explore every piece of information completely.

As a resident of the 101 store, Lan Yu's experience in the previous hour can be said to be more weird and less thrilling, which is why his clothes and demeanor are quite relaxed.

In the identity given by Tianhai, the 101 store was bought by him and will be transformed into a warehouse to store seafood.

The reason for coming tonight was not clearly stated, but it is probably for inspection.

But those are nothing more than an excuse, just giving the clerks a reasonable reason to enter Yu Lao Street, and the follow-up depends on personal performance.

As for Lan Yu, why did he choose to stay? It was because he found a body when he was investigating whether 101 could be transformed into a warehouse.

Strictly speaking, this is a decomposed body embedded in the inner wall of the 101 store.

Yu Lao Street has been in disrepair for a long time, and the store has been abandoned for a long time. The wall skin has fallen off and the wall has cracked, and a dry hand poured with solidified cement has leaked out.

Since then, supernatural events have appeared.

The situation that Lan Yu had to face in 101 was a "request" from an old ghost who had been dead for many years - begging for a complete body.

Therefore, for this deputy store manager with special abilities, there were few crises, but more decryption.

He had to fulfill the request of an old ghost and help him find a complete body.

In the 101 store, he got a right arm and the lower half of a human skull.

The key words "pulling tongue" were obtained from this half of the human skull.

This old ghost was definitely poured with cement when he was alive, and it was the horrible "cement filling mouth" cruel method.

This resulted in the oral cavity in the lower half of the human skull of the old ghost's body, all parts were preserved intact, solidified gums, flat teeth, but it was missing one thing - the tongue.

With Lan Yu's eyesight, he could recognize at a glance that the ghost's tongue was forcibly pulled out.

"Cement filling mouth" means to silence people.

He thought this might be a hint, and the next body parts might be in various locations in Yu Lao Street.

Therefore, the party at 7pm was also the process of his search for the whole body.

When Lan Yu came to the ninth floor from the bottom floor, before turning right to the elevator entrance, two people came down from above.

He was very familiar with one of the two. She was standing beside him when he met Ji Li a month ago.

"The seventh branch, Chang Nian, an extraordinary woman."

Although the couple Chang Nian and Tongguan did not participate much in the multi-store joint mission, they were actually very famous among the ten branches.

The grand scene of the four major branches cooperating to rescue one person was because of Tongguan.

Although it ended in failure, with Chang Nian's stunning appearance in the Nongyueke mission, the matter also ushered in a perfect ending.

But after meeting Chang Nian this time, Lan Yu got some inside information.

Chang Nian and Tongguan were originally a couple, so the identity given by Tianhai should also match it, but now she went downstairs alone.

In addition, the other party's slightly gloomy face and drooping eyes almost made it clear that the couple's experience in the previous hour was not smooth.

"Chang Nian came downstairs to ask for something..."

At the same time, Lan Yu also turned his gaze to another person who came downstairs. This was a woman he was not familiar with.

The woman was wearing a neat mid-length windbreaker with a waist button tied in the middle. Not a strand of her hair was loose, indicating that she was a very rational woman.

Similarly, she should not have experienced much danger in the previous hour.

The fact that the three people were able to walk out of their rooms alive meant that they all got some clues to a certain extent.

For example, Lan Yu found that after they met, none of them spoke, especially Chang Nian, who was already anxious.

The rule that was originally uncertain, "no talking", now made him more certain.

"Tongue pulling is a universal rule in Yu Lao Street."

When the three gathered at the elevator entrance of the northwest building on the ninth floor, they saw a blond man with one leg missing, with his back to them, crouching and his head down.

The new manager of the ninth branch, Clyde.

Naturally, everyone knew this person, but Lan Yu frowned when he saw him first, looked at his watch, and his face became even darker.

At this moment, it was already 19:08, which was actually longer than the agreed time.

He was late, Chang Nian, and the woman with the bun were late, but after such a long time, there were only four people, including Clyde.

It was not to say that everyone had to be present at the agreed meeting at 7 pm. After all, everyone had different abilities and faced different situations, so it was difficult for everyone to be present.

But at this time, there was definitely one person who should have come but didn't, and Lan Yu thought that with his ability, there was no reason not to come.

This person was Ji Li who proposed the meeting at 7 pm.

Just as Lan Yu was thinking, Clyde, who was guarding the elevator entrance with his back to them, finally turned around slowly after hearing the footsteps.

And when he turned around, his current appearance really shocked everyone into a cold sweat.

Clyde's white face was now red on the left and black on the right, as if it was painted with thick oil paint.

The most terrifying thing was that he didn't know what he had experienced, but his entire chin was cracked and blood was still dripping down. The severe pain made his left face redder and his right face darker.

He placed his hands on his upper lips, pointed his index finger into his mouth, and sobbed.

Looking through the dim light, only half of his tongue was left in his half-open mouth, with some broken meat stirring in his mouth, pushing out sticky blood.

Lan Yu's scalp tingled, and he couldn't help but think of the key word "tongue removal" that he had written down earlier.

Clyde now was even more "half yin, half yang, half mouth, half tongue".
