Weird Regulator

Mr. Ji, the wind is strong on the shore, please go back.

After watching the figures of Yu Guo and others disappear completely, the female voice said respectfully.

Ji Li pushed his messy hair back, turned around and walked towards the seventh branch.

He didn't look at the female voice beside him, he just stepped on the grass and said lightly:

Do you think I can win?

In your opinion, is winning really that important?

The female voice was aroused and did not answer the question. She just asked this question.

Far away on the river, the ghost boy was still waiting there, as if he had turned into a statue, watching Ji Li leave.

It hasn't taken action yet, which means that Ji Li still hasn't found what he wants in his heart.

Ji Li has also been reflecting on it. He knows his mission, which is to continue the gamble from fifty years ago.

But why is this goal not adopted by the ghost boy?

Is it because of the gambling with Tianhai that this ghost doesn’t dare to approach?

Or is it because this goal itself is not what Ji Li really desires...

Mr. Ji, let it take its course. Maybe you don't need to do anything, and the end will come to you naturally.

Ji Li still ignored her and just muttered in a low voice:

The situation is starting to get turbulent, and I have another clue...

The female voice stopped and looked at Ji Li walking forward alone, with an inexplicable pity and distress in her eyes.

…

Inside the seventh branch.

As soon as he entered the door, Ji Li saw Jin Xi, Xiao Qianduye and others standing guard at the door of the conference room, talking solemnly.

These people saw Ji Li's return, but they looked at each other and did not say hello.

A female voice explained in a low voice from the side:

“A new task was released an hour ago, and the executive clerk entered the task half an hour ago.

There are six people in total: Mei Sheng, Jie Zheng, Dai Yingqi, Yuan Ren, Qiu Zheyan, Fan Rong.

This is a short ten-hour mission related to a haunted house.

For this task, survivors can get 10 commission rewards.

Strictly speaking, this is actually the first exclusive task after the seventh branch was promoted to a three-star hotel.

The return mission was specially invited by Ji Li;

Store manager tasks are naturally not included in the total number of branches;

Nong Yueke’s mission is also a four-star promotion for the first branch;

It can be said that the Seventh Branch has not performed a mission for a long time.

The ten-hour short mission is not easy, but there are Mei Sheng and Jie Zheng in it, so at least one person can survive.

For Xiaoqian and others, the first mission after three stars is of course regarded as an important event, so they are ready to wait.

But Ji Li was not interested in these things at all at this time.

After the introduction by the female voice, I just dealt with it briefly and walked up the stairs silently.

When he was at the door of 201, Ji Li remembered something, turned around, and shouted to the people downstairs:

Xiao Qian, come here.

Little Qianduye was wearing a mid-length woolen coat and a brown knitted hat on her head today, as if she had just returned from outside.

Her eyes were still wrapped with a white gauze scarf, and her long hair was tied back, making her look particularly beautiful.

After hearing Ji Li's call, she quietly put her hands into her coat pockets, lowered her head and walked upstairs.

Stopping at the door of 201, this is the first resident on the second floor, where the most powerful ghost in the seventh branch - Mu Nianmei - is imprisoned.

Xiao Qianduye faced the door and already knew why Ji Li wanted to call him.

Before entering the door, Ji Li lit a cigarette for himself and said softly:

Before the winter solstice, you and I have a mission to find traces of white-robed worshiping ghosts. Are you willing to come?

Xiao Qian moved his eyes from the door to Ji Li. When he said these words, the black air between his eyebrows showed signs of dissipating.

Misfortune comes with these words, and there are signs of spreading. The ending may not be as you wish.

Ji Li didn't answer. He had already made his decision.

Xiao Qian didn't say anything else, just knocked on the door gently and finally pushed it open.

…

Time: 11:02 on December 19th.

Location: Villa No. 644, Songshan Street, Dongcheng District.

Yuan Ren held a dagger in his hand. After taking a few deep breaths, he placed his hand on a door and pressed lightly.

The wooden door was slowly pushed open, and there was a crunching sound in the quiet environment.

The scene in the room is introduced to the eye as the field of view expands.

Yuan Ren's nervousness finally eased after seeing the scene in the house, and he gently put down the dagger in his hand.

He tiptoed into the small house of about 20 square meters.

Judging from the furnishings in the house, this should be a study room. Traces of living people were still preserved, but there was no book.

He slowly approached the desk and found an unclosed pen sitting on it.

On a piece of white paper pressed under the pen, the dark blue ink has dried on it, drawing a spreading circle.

Yuan Ren opened the drawer and found that there were only a few blank notebooks and straw paper inside, and there was nothing worth paying attention to.

After wandering around the house for a few times, he finally felt relieved and walked outside the house, shouting as he walked:

Study on the second floor, no problem...

But before he finished speaking, his steps suddenly stopped and his body tensed up.

The nerves that had just relaxed became tense again, because before he was about to leave, he heard a rustling sound coming from behind.

It was as if a person suddenly appeared in front of the desk, picked up the pen, and was writing something.

Yuan Ren rolled his stiff neck and slowly turned his eyes to the desk behind him.

But when he saw what was on the chair in front of the desk, his eyes suddenly widened and his mouth opened as wide as possible, but he could no longer make any sound.

Mei Sheng, who was searching the third floor, heard Yuan Ren's call from the second floor, but initially didn't take it seriously.

But the abrupt end of the report gave her an ominous premonition, so she quickly put down the pillow in her hand and ran downstairs.

At the stairs on the second floor, Dai Yingqi, Fan Rong, and Qiu Zheyan had also arrived.

After the four people looked at each other for a second, everything was already clear before they saw Yuan Ren.

Mei Sheng's expression did not change, and he still had the dull and stiff expression. He walked to the front first and approached the study on the second floor.

When the four of them arrived at the door of the study, they saw a scene that shocked them greatly.

Fan Rong, a newcomer who was performing a mission for the first time, even screamed in fear.

Yuan Ren is sitting on the leather chair behind the desk in the study.

However, his eyes had been gouged out, leaving a large amount of blood under his open mouth, which turned the white collar red.

And half of the tongue was stuck on the open ink bottle on the table, still dripping blood on the ground.

The weirdest thing is that his hands are placed in front of the table.

Hold a pen in your left hand and a blank piece of paper in your right hand.

But the white paper on it is no longer empty.

On the white paper is a portrait of a man.

The appearance of the person in the painting is almost the same as that of Yuan Ren, and he also has a similar look and temperament, which shows that the artist's level of painting is extremely high.

The painting of Yuan Ren is also a scene of death, which completely corresponds to reality - his eyes are gouged out and his tongue is broken.

The painting was made with red ink, but it had dried and was obviously not a recent creation.

The horrifying way of death and the strange methods made Mei Sheng's pupils shrink slightly.

The first deceased appears.

But Mei Sheng immediately turned her head, looked at the three people behind her, and asked in a deep voice:

Where's the solution?
