Weird Regulator

Fang Shenyan took out a folding umbrella from his backpack, held the handle and pressed the umbrella tip against a door on the left.

Without using much force, this inconspicuous secret door was easily pushed open.

And this door does not open by pushing and pulling in the conventional sense, but rotates on the wall and closes again.

He carefully kept his distance and did not rush in immediately, but just observed from outside.

In the brief moment when the door rotated, he saw the scene inside the house.

The room also has a dark green style, which is very similar to the layout in the corridor, but it looks more narrow and cramped.

Due to the restriction of the viewing angle outside the door, Fang Shenyan was not able to fully observe everything inside the room.

But he did see half of a person in his field of vision. As for that person, he was facing the wall and must have been sitting in front of the game console.

One person, one game console, nothing else...

Fang Shenyan thought like this, so she opened the door again with the tip of her umbrella.

The door began to rotate slowly again, making some dull mechanical sounds.

This time he stepped in vigorously and finally saw everyone in the room awake, as well as the appearance of the man.

In this small room of only about ten square meters, a thin middle-aged man was sitting on a low-quality plastic stool.

His upper body was leaning forward, lying on an old-fashioned joystick game console, his head tilted to the side, motionless.

Fang Shenyan quietly approached from behind, staring at the picture on the game screen.

The picture was frozen, with a dark floor in the blurred background, and a pool of thick plasma on the ground.

The most eye-catching thing is undoubtedly the line of red words that constantly flashes in the center of the screen:

game over.

Fang Shenyan frowned, raised his head and looked around.

The depressing colors and low ceiling made him feel at a loss when he was in it.

It was as if there was some unsettling power flowing in this room that could be seen with the naked eye but could not be seen.

The first room is the dead Quan Liang.

Fang Shenyan turned Quan Liang's body over and performed a simple autopsy while describing it to Ji Li.

He died of the evil spirit in your eyes, showing the game failed and the screen frozen at the same moment.

The corpse did not melt due to the game's method of death, there was no obvious trauma, and there was no rigor mortis.

He pressed Quan Liang's neck, frowned, and continued:

The body was soft, not like a dead person, but he was definitely dead.

Don't worry about him, go find Gu Qingyun.

An autopsy was necessary, but Ji Li was afraid that something might change if it was too late, so he could only put it aside for the time being.

Fang Shenyan did not express his opinion, but put down the body and prepared to leave.

But just as he turned around, he suddenly turned back and stared at the corpse, a trace of suspicion flashing in his eyes.

Quan Liang remained the same, lying on the game console, like a dead person sleeping.

It's probably not an illusion. I seem to think there's something different about him.

What's the difference?

I can't explain it clearly, and I can't find it, but it's just a feeling.

Fang Shenyan knew that this was not a place where he could stay for a long time. His current mission was Gu Qingyun, so he no longer lingered and turned around to leave.

Returning to the corridor on the 18th floor, the first door has been completely closed, and it is difficult to find its existence from the surface.

Next, he opened the doors one by one and saw the store managers he had never met before.

Such as the dead Tengshan, Tian Xiaoou, Bao An and others.

There are also Ji Li, Hou Guisheng and Bai Huaiguang who are still alive.

It is worth mentioning that the game console of the deceased store manager was frozen at the moment of death, showing that the game had failed.

As for the store manager who is not dead, the screen in front of them is blank, as if it is in a standby stage.

Until Fang Shenyan opened the second to last door, and this time he saw an old friend.

Gu Xingjian.

Seeing Gu Xingjian here, Fang Shenyan had many assumptions.

For example, is his game ending different? It is different from the dead store manager and the undead store manager.

However, the fact is that Gu Xingjian's body is just like Quan Liang and the others, lying quietly on the desk.

All features were unmistakable of a corpse, except that the skin was soft.

And the four bloody words Game Failed flashed on his game screen.

Gu Xingjian is really dead.

After Fang Shenyan took a brief look, he went to the last room without making too many observations.

Here is Gu Qingyun.

Judging from this order, the ten rooms are not arranged in order, but are arranged randomly and randomly.

Gu Qingyun, a participant in the first branch, was assigned to the last room.

Opening the door, you can see the scene inside the room at a glance.

Gu Qingyun's fat face was lying on the table, and there was nothing special about the surrounding situation.

It's just that the words Game Failed are not written in front of his screen.

But when Fang Shenyan got closer, he saw that the joystick on the game console was standing naked there.

The red ball cap above the rocker has disappeared.

Come to think of it, what Gu Qingyun said he found a game loophole was that he discovered that the game console can destroy itself independently.

He probably asked that question before the game started, and then came up with a guess about how to survive.

I'm already in Gu Qingyun's room. The situation is pretty much what you expected. Can we start taking action?

There were whispers coming from the earphones, as if the three people on the other side were discussing.

After a while, Ji Li said decisively:

Do it.

Without saying a word, Fang Shenyan grabbed Gu Qingyun by the back of his neck and threw him aside. He picked up the umbrella in his hand and threw it at the game console.

The steel ribs are not too hard, but they are enough to damage this old game console.

For a moment, the four buttons, blue, yellow and black, were destroyed by brute force and flew far away.

Fang Shenyan raised his foot and aimed it at the plastic shell of the game console, kicked a big hole in it, and pierced the screen with the sharp umbrella tip.

In just half a minute, an intact game console was already riddled with holes.

The gray-stained wires, as well as the internal circuit boards, were exposed and further damaged.

The game tool from the last room was completely destroyed.

After Fang Shenyan finished everything, he cautiously retreated to the door, holding the door with one hand, ready to evacuate at any time.

At this moment, he suddenly noticed Gu Qingyun discarded on the ground, and his hand trembled slightly.

A white light suddenly appeared out of thin air and enveloped him.

This scene is very much like the teleportation light at the end of the mission.

Fang Shenyan frowned, watching Gu Qingyun's body become invisible little by little, as if he was about to teleport away.

But his heart was full of doubts and confusion.

I'm already on my way out, why don't the root ghosts stop me?

Just like that, Gu Qingyun disappeared completely in front of his eyes, and the broken game console became silent.

Is it that simple?

But the next second, Gu Qingyun's figure reappeared, and the damaged game console was restored again.

This time, he no longer lay on the table, but stood up from the stool in a flash.

His face was full of lingering fear, and he looked in a trance, as if he was still awake.

Gu Qingyun and Bai Huaiguang disappeared from the music box. Was it successful?

Fang Shenyan looked at the person in front of him and said in a deep voice:

The way to survive is wrong. If you are out of the game, you will die. He has now repelled the progress and started from scratch.

A resurrection coin each brought Gu Qingyun and Bai Huaiguang, who were linked by fate, back to life.

But this also means that neither Gu Qingyun's game loophole nor Ji Li's elimination theory is a way out.
