Weird Regulator

The time is 23 o'clock in the middle of the night on November 30th.

Even at this time, the high-speed rail station in Shanming City is still bustling with people and brightly lit.

Travelers in the waiting room were either resting with their heads turned or playing with their mobile phones.

In this environment full of chaos and noise, most people are resisting late-night sleepiness in their own way.

Since smoking was not allowed in the waiting room, Ji Li chewed two pieces of gum and waited quietly for the arrival of the train.

Directly in front of him was a long queue, with dozens of people crowded together checking tickets.

Although everyone knew that there was no difference between getting on the bus first and last, most people still crowded forward.

The original formation had long since become chaotic, with shouting and stamping, curses and counterattacks.

Ji Li tilted his head to observe, always focusing on a young man with a crew cut.

This guy with a flat head didn't carry any luggage, put his hands in the pockets of his jacket, and squeezed into a small crowded group at every opportunity.

Crowds of people inevitably touch each other, and everyone looks up at the ticket gate in front.

And this flat-headed brother took this opportunity to commit a crime.

I saw him using his body to block an elder sister's luggage, and using his left arm to prop up a distance to ensure enough space to start.

Without taking his right hand out, he passed it directly through the pocket of his jacket.

Obviously, this piece of clothing has been specially improved so that the palms can be poked out from the inside for better stealing.

The flat-headed brother did not look directly at the luggage, but looked at the ticket gate like everyone else, but his right hand had already pulled out the elder sister's wallet.

Seeing that he had succeeded, he pulled his neck and shouted:

It's so damn tight, so go ahead and squeeze in. I'll go to the back and wait in line.

Ji Li put his hands in his pockets, chewed gum, and watched everything happening with interest.

And the flat-headed brother, just when he was about to successfully evacuate, suddenly disappeared out of thin air.

But before he could put it in his arms, the wallet fell to the ground.

A short, pale boy appeared in the flat-headed brother's place, staring straight at Ji Li.

Such a terrifying existence did not cause panic among the people around him.

There was even a rusher who passed through the ghost boy's body without even noticing.

Only Ji Li watched this scene quietly. After a while, he took out a tissue and spit out the gum, stood up and went to the ticket gate.

…

Ji Li sat by the window, resting his head on the glass and looking out the window quietly.

The train headed towards Shanghai City at an extremely fast speed. The scene outside the window was actually dark and there was nothing visible at all.

This trip to Shanghai has two purposes, or it can be said to be one.

He wanted a place called Zhenjing Taoist Temple to meet Clyde.

After the mission was over, Clay had to make a call to Ji Li.

After repeatedly comparing the video tape clues left by the ring organization, Clyde found out a piece of information about the Butterfly Woman's traces.

The location that appears in the first part is suspected to be Zhenjing Taoist Temple.

The importance of Butterfly Woman to Ji Li is self-evident, and she may be the only insider who knows Ji Li's situation.

Finding the butterfly woman is Ji Li's first goal.

Meeting with Clyde was the second purpose of this visit.

Clyde seemed to have something he couldn't say on the phone, so he made an appointment with Ji Li to go to Zhenjing Taoist Temple.

This just satisfies Ji Li's route, and can also tell some unknown things while playing.

Ji Li could roughly guess what the other party was going to say.

Clyde, you have plans to betray him.

Of course, it was not the Ninth Branch that he wanted to rebel against, but Gu Xingjian.

In short, no matter what the purpose was, Ji Li had every reason to take this trip.

Shanming City is very close to Shanghai City, and the high-speed train is only 20 minutes away.

The announcement that the station was about to arrive had already sounded on the radio. Ji Li chewed tasteless gum and relaxed his muscles.

On the platform outside the window, railway staff were standing straight by the roadside.

In Ji Li's eyes, the ghost boy flashed past his eyes again and lay on the shoulders of the staff.

In the last mission, Ren Yunfeng took away Ghost Boy No. 3 and Ghost Boy No. 4.

After the mission was over, when he returned to the hotel, the ghost boy No. 5 in Ji Li's mind was also cleared.

But this ghost boy No. 2 never attacked Ji Li on Tianming Mountain, and when Ren Yunfeng appeared, he didn't know where he went.

Now that I think about it, this ghost boy seems to be targeting Ji Li.

The strange thing is that it just follows and never makes a move.

He always acted as an observer, occasionally flashing by where Ji Li could see him.

The ghost boy kills people, starting from the obsession in people's hearts.

This is a theory from the last mission summary, and it should work.

Ji Li thought about it for such a long time and finally came up with two possibilities.

First, this ghost boy marked Ji Li, but he could never find the obsession in his heart.

Second, the prophecy of Little Qianduye.

Ji Li, if you touch the blue and white porcelain jar, no matter what your status is, you will definitely die.

Of course, there is another possibility, which is to combine the first two possibilities.

The train has arrived. Passengers who get off at Huhai West Station, please bring your belongings and prepare to get off.

…

Manager Ji, long time no see. The wine here is good. Would you like a drink?

The first stop when arriving in Shanghai late at night is a music bar.

Clyde enthusiastically led Ji Li to his seat and poured him a glass of wine, which was quite free and easy.

Ji Li didn't like the people in the Ninth Branch, but he was still very interested in Clyde.

In the last mission, it seemed that Clay had failed to speculate on a way out and relied on Yu Guo to win.

But in fact it is not as simple as it seems.

Ji Li sat on the chair, leaned back comfortably, picked up the wine glass, took a sip, and said softly:

Didn't we just meet yesterday?

Clay smiled dumbly, crossed his legs, and looked at the female singer in front of him with admiration in his eyes.

My sinful object will give me a second personality. It is him you see during the mission, not me.

Ji Li nodded thoughtfully. He could see that there was a big difference between Clyde during the mission and him now.

It seems that your other personality is very strong.

Without him, perhaps we would all be dead.

The second personality created by Fang Jingxinwu has ceiling-level wisdom. Clay can survive to this day mostly because of him.

But equally, he was deeply affected by the sin.

The truth of the matter goes back to one day ago.

Clyde, Yu Guo and Zhan Xun were outside the villa and formulated a strategy for survival.

The second personality at that time quickly finalized the plan with a resolute attitude, and showed an extremely eager attitude, crazily advancing the plan.

It was precisely because of this that Yu Guo no longer trusted Clyde's way of survival, and thus deduced his own way of survival.

But in fact, how could Clyde, who had three times the brain power at that time, design things so crudely.

There are actually two versions of Clyde's complete life path.

The first version is naturally the way to survive that he clearly stated.

Hei Qingshan and Ghost Boy No. 0 are not a whole.

In this way, he can certainly complete the task successfully.

In the second version, the layout will be more profound and the risks will be higher.

But judging from the results, it is clear that the facts are according to the second version.

When Clay entered the barrier, he realized that the ghost boy was stalling for time, and the first version of his way out was immediately overturned.

Forced to have no choice, he started the second version.

In the second way of survival version, Yu Guo and Zhan Xun will be more suspicious of him and move towards another way of life.

But he still continued to follow the established path of life.

But Clay's side will no longer bear the responsibility of finding a way out.

The only purpose of going to the third floor was to delay time for Yu Guo and Zhan Xun to find a way out.

In the second version, the initiator of everything is Ghost Boy No. 0.

When Yu Guo and Zhan Xun go to deal with the black gum, one person must stand up to Ghost Boy No. 0.

In fact, the reason why Yu Guo was able to have enough time to find a way out was that he was not attacked by the ghost boy from the beginning to the end.

It was because Clay had to fight the ghost boy head-on and buy him time.

Holding down the ghost boy is not an easy task, as a slight mistake can lead to death.

Clay was extremely impatient from the moment he entered the villa, and even gave up the stairs and headed straight for the elevator at great expense.

There are two reasons:

First, he had been in the second personality for too long. Based on experience, he was already on the verge of decline.

He must use the time he has left to quickly advance his plan.

Force Yu Guo and Zhan Xun to the correct route for survival.

Second, it is precisely because he is about to complete the transformation of his two personalities.

Therefore, he must arrive in front of the ghost boy No. 0 as soon as possible, and let the ghost boy mark the second personality first for killing.

Then he declined and reappeared as Clyde's main personality, delaying his death as much as possible.

This is the whole truth about Ghost Boy's mission.

What if Yu Guo couldn't see through the nature of the way out, if Ghost Boy No. 0 still had a backup plan, if there was a mistake in switching between the two personalities.

Then what awaits the two branches is the annihilation of all members.

But he still succeeded.

It can be said that Clay, the manipulator behind the scenes, calculates everything with extremely precision.
