Weird Regulator

In the game world, on the thirteenth floor, the room with the door open is 1307.

In this room, a very special ghost once walked out. It was so calculating that it almost killed Ji Li.

Now it's gone, and no one knows where it went.

But he is inextricably linked to Hou Guisheng.

At this time, there are two players occupying room 1307.

Their names are Quan Liang and Gu Xingjian.

Quan Liang sat against the wall, his hands behind his back, and his wrists were tightly tied with ropes.

A black strip of cloth was wrapped around his eyes, depriving him of his ability to see.

It could be seen from his increasingly pale face and chapped lips that he had been trapped for a long time.

In the black field of vision that he couldn't open his eyes, Quan Liang could hear the man in front of him pacing repeatedly, as if deep in thought.

Manager Gu, if you have any requests, just put them forward.

I will do my best to cooperate, and I am definitely willing to do it.

At worst, I'll give you the only resurrection coin. Can you let me go first?

Although the Tenth Store is generally not very strong, it is still a branch that has been around for a long time.

As the veteran of the branch, Quan Liang is incomparable to the top clerks in all aspects, but he still has some advantages.

For example, tenacity.

Not long after entering the game, he was captured by Gu Xingjian and has been trapped for a day and two nights.

At this stage, he knew that the gap was too big, so he did not resist or beg for mercy, but was tolerant.

Facing the unfathomable Gu Xingjian, what he said was neither humble nor arrogant.

But after one day and two nights, even Quan Liang couldn't bear it anymore.

What's more, for such a long time, Gu Xingjian never gave any instructions or asked him to do anything.

Just a few hours ago, he was transferred and walked up eleven floors.

However, from Quan Liang's perspective, he was still unsure of where he was now.

On the other side, Gu Xingjian, who was rubbing his chin with one hand, sometimes frowned and sometimes relaxed, as if he was thinking about something.

He kept scanning the room, then looked up at the ceiling, and it took him a while to think of a response.

Store Manager Quan, just be patient for a little longer, and you'll be free soon.

But before they take action, I have to figure out what happened on the thirteenth floor, otherwise the winning rate will not be high.

Gu Xingjian didn't hide anything, not only named the location, but also mentioned the other party.

Quan Liang was confused and asked subconsciously:

Who wants to take action?

Gu Xingjian put his hand on the east wall of 1307, with wisdom and concentration in his eyes, and said lightly:

Ji Li, Hou Guisheng, and Gu Qingyun.

The three of them are divided into two parties, and they are about to start killing people, which is a bit tricky...

Quan Liang was shocked when he heard this. He didn't know many of these names.

Due to the geographical location of the No. 10 store, their relationship with other branches is naturally close.

But he understands very well that the store managers who are still insisting on breaking through are already rare, and those who can survive until now are extraordinary people.

What on earth are they going to do? Even store manager Gu finds it difficult for you?

Gu Xingjian tilted his head slightly, took out a photo from his arms, and compared it to a certain position on the east wall.

He did not answer Quan Liang's question, but said to himself:

“It turns out that the solution to the thirteenth floor is like this.

Hou Guisheng...

I didn't expect that there is a person of this level hidden in the third branch. I don't know anything about you.

It's a pity that Han Sheng died. It seems that the manager of the third branch in the future will be you.

Quan Liang was horrified when he heard this. What on earth did Hou Guisheng do to be evaluated like this by Gu Xingjian?

But what's urgent right now is not people, but things.

He asked again:

Manager Gu, please tell me clearly, what are we going to experience soon?

Gu Xingjian put away the photo, picked up the backpack on the ground and slowly came to Quan Liang's side, cut the rope, and said softly:

Gu Qingyun is about to become the knife in the hands of Ji and Hou, and that butcher knife will fall on the heads of all participants.

He winked at Quan Liang, who looked dazed, showed a kind smile, and added:

You have to work hard to survive. If you dare to die in front of me, I will kill your whole family.

…

Game world, sixteen floors.

The powerful mental operation has been a bit overwhelming for the two of them, and designing the plot is even more laborious than executing it.

In just five minutes of the plot, there were already seven or eight more cigarette butts in the corridor.

Hou Guisheng opened the window, took a breath of cold air in the cold wind, and said in a deep voice:

We can not kill Xue Tingtao first, let him be completely trapped to death in those four minutes.

But Gu Qingyun must speed up, I'm afraid there will be changes.

Hou Guisheng knew very well that there were too many vacant store managers, and Chen Hansheng had been unable to respond.

He was worried that something would happen if he delayed it any longer.

Ji Li took a deep breath of cigarette, used nicotine to dispel his mental fatigue, and said softly:

I left enough opportunities for Gu Qingyun to escape, and he was about to get lost in the plot repetitions.

Wait another eight minutes, let him go through two cycles, and then I will officially launch the operation.

Hou Guisheng turned his head and glanced at Ji Li's back, and said in a very cryptic voice:

You're worried about it, right?

Ji Li frowned, thought for a moment, shook his head, and responded:

It's not him, I'm most worried about Xue Tingtao.

We can no longer kill him, we can only trap him.

Don't you realize the problem yet?

Hou Guisheng fell into a brief silence, nodded and said:

We designed the plot for Gu Qingyun, and Xue Tingtao will also experience similar things, and vice versa.

Tianhai has a certain binding relationship between the two. They are opposite to each other but unified.

Neither Xue Tingtao nor Gu Qingyun could be killed until the specific connection between them could be found.

Ji Li took one last drag of his cigarette, coughed a few times, threw down the cigarette butt, and returned to his original position to sit down.

Then let's wait and see, Gu Qingyun's side is about to get heated.

…

In room 1605, it was pitch black.

Gu Qingyun held a knife, pressed his left hand on the kitchen stove, and looked at it breathlessly.

On the wrist of his left hand, the original mechanical watch had disappeared, but there was still a disc scale on the back of his hand.

One thick and two thin blood vessels became three pointers, which were rotating at a constant speed along the disc on the back of the hand.

Only ten minutes had passed since he walked out of the master bedroom.

However, within these ten minutes, he encountered three incidents in succession.

For the first time, in the case of the corpse in the master bedroom, he thought of another solution at the last minute:

Turn the hands of the watch on the corpse to 23:43.

After doing this, he really bought himself more time. It seems that in 43 minutes, he was temporarily harmless.

But then, the second incident happened again.

Do you still remember the footsteps going to the study?

That's right.

When Gu Qingyun opened the door from the master bedroom, he came to the study again and faced the same dead body.

But this time, he found that it could not be solved by modifying time.

However, since Xue Tingtao did not block the door on the other side, he completed the disposal of the body.

Then, there was the third incident, which happened in the living room.

As for whether there were footsteps walking through the living room before this incident, he didn't hear it clearly at all.

But the encounter is the same, the body is here, and it will be solved within three minutes.

The previous two handling methods were also found to be ineffective after testing.

Therefore, Gu Qingyun's method of dealing with the third incident was to smash the watch on his wrist.

He succeeded again.

Therefore, Ji Li’s topic is centered around three elements: corpse, time, and place.

But the solution to each incident must be a new approach.

This leads to Gu Qingyun's response methods becoming less and less as time goes by.

During the three-minute torture time and time again, his physical strength and even his spirit were greatly depleted.

At 23:31, he came to the kitchen again.

This time, he almost ignored the body leaning on the rice bag and directly slapped his left hand on the stove.

The watch is gone, but the timer is imprinted on the back of the hand.

The new way to break it is easy, just cut it off.

But what Gu Qingyun wants to think about now can no longer be limited to this fourth incident.

Gu Qingyun began to understand Ji Li's intention, he just wanted to drag himself to death.

If Room 1605 is regarded as a big task, then there are small tasks inside it.

Although the solution to small tasks is simple, it is better because there is no limit on the number, but there is a limit to the solution.

Gu Qingyun is very smart and witty, but he cannot ensure that he can find the answer within three minutes every time.

Therefore, from a micro perspective, Ji Li's question is not difficult, but from a macro perspective, it is an unsolvable question.

Gu Qingyun is just a moth stuck in a spider web.

It is easy to break free from the spider threads, but it is absolutely impossible to fly away completely.

In the end, it is nothing more than exhausting your efforts and being cannibalized step by step.
