Weird Regulator

Sir, as you asked, all the fireworks for our anniversary have been set off in advance.

I took a huge risk. I can’t stay in Shanming City any longer. Do you think your remaining payment is...

It's still the secret alley outside Jiangbei Park Street.

The middle-aged man who had appeared behind Ji Li looked expectantly at the man in front of him who was changing clothes.

Ji Li took off his work clothes and pressed them with a stone slab. With a cane in his hand, he looked expressionlessly at the face that had forgotten fear due to greed.

He didn't say anything but just put his hand into his arms. This move made the middle-aged man even more happy, and the fat on his face trembled a few times.

When Ji Li approached him earlier, he generously gave him a bag of golden beans, and now he finally received the second half of the huge sum.

With this money, he could change to another city and live a life without worries about food and clothing.

He had even thought about it in his mind that not long ago, he went to a high-end place with several fair-skinned and beautiful young women in his arms.

Unfortunately, his thoughts ended there. The next moment, he twitched all over, fell to the ground with foam at the mouth, and passed out.

Ji Li didn't have the other half of the golden beans in his hand, but a dark electric baton.

If a middle-aged man is familiar with Ji Li's personality, he should know one principle: don't make deals with Ji Li.

The sound of electric shock was inconspicuous in the alley. Ji Li bent down and searched the man's body. He did not find the golden beans he had paid in advance, but he took out the car keys.

Ji Li thought for a moment and put the car keys back. He remembered that he couldn't drive.

He cannot kill this person. According to previous speculation, killing may be one of the opportunities to attract ghosts.

So after much hesitation, he chose to throw it into the trash can and do it again when he needed to see a ghost.

After all this work, Ji Li was very tired and his physical condition was still not good.

Although the hotel can treat his physical injuries after each mission, the psychological trauma cannot be repaired.

Ji Li let out a sigh of relief, leaned against the wall, took out the cigarette case from his arms, and smoked a cigarette regardless of the pain on his face.

At the same time, he took out his mobile phone and called Yu Guo, who was in the hotel at the moment.

What's wrong Ji Li?

Yu Guo answered quickly and sounded a little surprised. He obviously didn't expect Ji Li to call him at this time.

“Check two people for me.

One is called 'Wang Ruili', a dead person who once worked at Shanming University of Finance and Economics. I need her detailed identity information, including resume.

The second person is called ‘Gao Yan’. ‘Gao’ should be the ‘Gao’ in the surname, but I don’t know which ‘yan’ ‘yan’ is.

You try to help me find them. These two people are very important to me.

As time permits, help me find the second person first.

Ji Li held a cigarette in one hand and rubbed his temples. The pain was always tormenting him and invading his mind all the time.

This requires him to put in more effort when thinking and makes it easier for him to enter a state of fatigue.

Yu Guo nodded in agreement, promising to give the answer no later than tonight.

After hanging up the phone, Ji Li pressed the back of his head against the wall. The cold feeling made him feel a little more comfortable.

There are no bright stars in the sky tonight, only dark clouds and the snow that is getting heavier bit by bit.

After a while, Ji Li left the alley, took a taxi and drove away.

Today's story is still not over. He still remembers Fang Shenyan saying that Tongguan and the others went to investigate Shanming University of Finance and Economics.

…

November 18, 2015 was the first day and night of the mission.

Tongguan, Yu Xing, and Yang Shouyi were quietly looking at the man in front of them who was seriously injured and unable to walk independently.

This is a small room of more than ten square meters, with four beds, and four men sitting on the beds.

Between them, in the middle of the room, stood a large table made up of two small tables.

There was a brand new card and a plate placed on it.

In the center of the plate stood a burning white candle.

The candlelight was the only light source in the dim room. It illuminated the entire room, resisted the darkness of the outside world, and also illuminated the faces of the four men present, half yin and half yang.

This is the B-2 dormitory building of Shanming University of Finance and Economics, room 1012 of the female dormitory, the end of the tenth floor.

It was also the dormitory where Mu Nianmei was fifteen years ago.

So... you have seen a ghost and are familiar with its killing rules?

Yu Xing is sitting on bed A1, which is next to the main entrance of the dormitory and belongs to the bed on the left.

The bed under him was a clean snow-white color, decorated with pink cherry blossoms, and there was a poster of a certain domestic male star on the bedside.

Directly opposite him was the B1 bed. Jie Zheng, who had narrowly escaped death, was leaning against the foot of the bed with a pale face, his left hand and right leg wrapped in a thick layer of gauze.

His lips trembled, and he looked dimly at the candle that was clearly burning but not dripping with wax.

I have a doubt.

When Ji Li was pulled back to the haunted house, the knife I saw was covered with red rust, as if it was a knife from many years ago.

The furnishings and dust thickness in the room, including the decoration in the corridor, are clearly from the configuration more than ten years ago.

But this haunted house is in the world of 2015...

At this time, Tongguan raised his head in A2, which was next to Yu Xing's bed, and responded:

“But Xiaoqian and Gao Hongqian were pulled to the year 2000 when they were attacked.

What's your guess?

Jie Zheng was a little hesitant. He experienced ghosts killing people with their senses, but later learned that Xiao Qian and the others were pulled back to the year 2000 in another way.

This situation, which obviously represented two different methods, or abilities, inevitably made him think more about it.

Is there a possibility that there are two ghosts in this mission...

Tongguan was silent.

He quietly looked at the candlelight that was not dazzling, and his heart was already in turmoil.

After arriving at Shanming University of Finance and Economics, the group went to the library first. After confirming that the task card was a library card, they went to look for the borrowing list.

But in fact, they did not find the borrowing list from October 5 to November 18, 2015 at all.

This list was taken away in advance...

With Tongguan's character, he would never place all his hopes on Xiao Qianduye's actions.

So he, Yu Xing, and Yang Shouyi were going to Zeng Mu Nianmei's dormitory to take a look.

At this time, Xie Zheng, who was seriously injured, returned, and the foursome gathered together to go to 1012.

However, it was precisely because of this move that the four of them were trapped in the women's dormitory.

Countless methods are not enough to open it, and this room seems to be only accessible but not accessible.

There was no one here, and there was no sound outside the corridor. It seemed that only 1012 and the four of them were left alive in the whole building.

In the empty bedroom, half an hour ago, there was an extra plate with a burning candle standing on it.

What this means, no one can understand.

Due to Tongguan's cautious character, no one took the initiative to contact him, so he could only exchange information first.

Therefore, Jie Zheng's words opened up a new way of thinking in Tongguan.

Two teams, two cards, two tasks, two highly similar murder cases, two ghosts...

At this point, not only Tongguan, but everyone here has realized that everything in this mission seems to have two copies.

Even, time and space.

After a while, Tongguan spoke in a low voice, like he was mumbling to himself but everyone could hear him.

Then, if there really are two ghosts...

Are we dealing with a ghost whose senses are known to kill people, or another ghost that is mysterious and apparently more powerful?
