Weird Regulator

A spreading white fog made this seemingly peaceful dormitory building even more weird.

The leader walking at the forefront of the white mist is not only leading the three clerks who are moving forward, but also is like a compass guiding the direction of the spread of the white mist.

The pace of the leader was not so hasty, and even a little cautious, which caused time to pass quickly, but the spread of the white mist was extremely slow.

Half a meter away from the leader, the three clerks in the middle of the white mist also quietly experienced ups and downs in their moods.

Chen Xu himself talked a lot. He suppressed it as much as possible during this period, but now he couldn't help but comfort him:

Mr. Luo, we have reached the ninth floor, and there is no sign of stopping from now on.

Our outing this time is challenging the first rule of the dormitory rules. Once discovered by the dormitory personnel, we have no dormitory door protection and will be immediately determined to be in violation.

The reason why they chose to follow Baiwu was because they hoped to learn some ways to leave the dormitory and get the remaining unknown code on the way.

But there is no clue at all about the actions that have taken place over such a long period of time.

The white mist spread all the way up, and the leader looked like a human being and a ghost. He just walked up silently, obviously not rushing to leave the dormitory.

Luo Ge could naturally see this, but he was hesitant and hesitant.

On the one hand, since you have entered the white mist, you have no regrets after making a choice, you can only follow it;

On the other hand, he still doesn't understand Li Cheng's course of action.

In short, in the half hour since entering the white mist, Li Cheng, as the leader, has followed a very strange and disorderly trajectory.

On the way up from the third floor to the ninth floor, during the six floors, except for infecting the space on each floor with white mist, it had no actual movement.

According to the notes, this Li Cheng should have taken the original escape route again.

Could it be that this disorderly, chaotic, and confusing journey forward is its escape route?

It's unlikely no matter how you look at it.

Under the premise of not being able to figure this out for a long time, Locke did not dare to make any decisions or judgments and could only follow suit.

He could understand the impatience between Chen Xu and Ping Wenbin.

After all, they are on the verge of breaking the rules, but they never get a clear goal, which is difficult to support their determination to move forward.

Luo Ge took a deep breath, observed several dormitory doors on both sides of the ninth floor through the white mist, and whispered:

One of the people who checked the bed was Manager Xue. He gave us a deadline of three o'clock, and we still have one hour left.

After all, nothing happened after walking for half an hour, so we followed it for another half hour.

At half past two, regardless of whether there was any information in the account, we all returned to our respective dormitories and quietly waited for dawn.

This answer is obviously not satisfactory.

Ping Wenbin came to him from the end of the team, clenched his fists and whispered:

“Just because nothing happened in the past half hour doesn’t mean nothing will happen in the future.

Ai Chan has failed. If he doesn't reply, he will most likely be dead, and there is no news from Shan Xin.

If we wander around level by level without any purpose, something unexpected will happen sooner or later.

Chen Xu said nothing, but his gloomy expression clearly explained his attitude.

Luo Ge patted his arm very patiently, raised his finger and pointed at Li Cheng who was walking slowly in front, and explained:

Have you carefully watched its every move?

The two looked in the direction of the finger, with doubts in their eyes. They had indeed not observed Li Cheng carefully.

After all, Li Cheng seems to be a very special existence in this building.

It doesn't look like a ghost, but it's definitely not a human being. Instead, it's more like a living clue from the past, a clue that can be acted upon.

This is the first time that clues are personified.

Locke did not give them a chance to answer, and then said:

“I have seen its course of action, which appears to be chaotic but is actually extremely sophisticated.

As the leader, it not only leads us, but also spreads the white mist.

I have carefully studied its movement trajectory and found that every step is making the white mist cover every corner as much as possible.

Only when the white fog completely covers the current area will it set foot in this area.

This shows that the white mist is the road under its feet, and it is trying to make its road cover the entire building.

The clue question that Chen and Xu have been struggling with has since been answered.

Li Cheng was not walking around in confusion, on the contrary, he was doing his best to expand the white mist.

Ping Wenbin glanced at Qiang with some taboo, then looked around the surrounding corridors, and whispered:

You mean, after it covers the entire building with white fog, the next step will be taken.

And this action is the source of our intelligence.

Luo Ge nodded heavily. This was indeed the reason he believed to persist.

However, Chen Xu frowned. He vaguely felt an ominous omen from this goal.

Li Cheng is a personal name, but it is just a clue, appearing in the form of a person.

A clue with such subjective and active power, even with its own purpose.

This was incredible and completely different from what he had imagined before.

It was originally thought that Li Cheng's actions only played a map-like role.

Apart from guiding the way, it does not interfere with the affairs of the dormitory building, nor will it change the overall situation.

But looking at it now, it is by no means just a clue. On the contrary, it is likely to change something.

Chen Xu couldn't help but recall the original decision again.

Will these two completely opposite choices of staying in the dormitory and walking into the white mist completely change the situation of this mission?

Seeing that both of them were silent, Luo Ge changed the subject and said:

“And Ai Chan’s side is not considered a failure.

Although he is dead, he has provided us with important information.

Ping Wenbin smiled bitterly and nodded, agreeing with this:

That's right, he gave us his life in exchange for Rule 6 of the dormitory rules: you can't board the midnight elevator.

More than that, you can't just look at the surface when thinking about problems.

Luo Ge raised his hand to interrupt it, turned his head and said solemnly:

Think about it, why Ai Chan died? The root cause is that he was blinded by the routine task format.

When the supernatural elevator came to the door, he and Shan Xin subconsciously thought that they had violated the rules.

So I came to an incorrect conclusion: The elevator is coming and you have to get on it.

But the final outcome is that whoever rides in these two elevators will die, which inversely infers Article 6 of the Code.

Judging from this experience, the dormitory, and even the entire Tiannan Drama Academy, will have a third type besides the explicit code and the hidden code - the 'confusing code'.

A confusing code is one that appears to have similar characteristics to a potential code, especially in the sense of weirdness and crisis.

But the biggest difference between it and the first two codes is that all confusing codes are dead ends, and you will die if you execute them.

They will force the store clerk to perform, test, and kill people.

For example, Ai Chan's front and rear elevators, no matter which way you choose, you will die.

Ai Chan's death is indeed of great significance. He introduced the third concept of Tiannan Drama Academy.

At the same time, this is also a strong crisis signal.

Because the deceptive code and the potential code are so similar that they can't even be distinguished, and once you are fooled, you will definitely die.
