Gao Ping, Dean of the Creative College of Tiannan Academy of Drama, Ph.D., professor...

Bei Jing, professor, master's degree supervisor, currently deputy director of the Department of Stage Art...

Gu Zhengqing, deputy dean of the Film School of Tiannan Academy of Drama, professor, graduate tutor, doctor of arts...

Under the orange desk lamp, stacks of files were piled into a hill on the table, casting shadows on the bookcase behind them.

A figure immersed in reading was about to be completely swallowed up by them.

The smell of cigarettes rose slowly, bounced off the cold and hard glass windows, and finally escaped from the vents on the roof.

Ji Li closed the last file, leaned on the comfortable office chair, and looked up at the ceiling.

Yu Guo actually became a teaching assistant at the film school, and so did Moran.

They are the only two teachers, so they will probably meet other people during the day...

During the long night, among the twenty store clerks, four were dead and one was missing. It had only been three hours since they entered the mission, but a quarter of them had already been damaged.

This mortality rate is expected.

Ji Li turned his seat and faced the large floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the white sky and earth outside, and took a deep breath of cigarette.

Boom, boom, boom.

Before I could get away from the busyness for too long, there was a knock on the office door.

Ji Li put out the cigarette, tied his loose long hair into a knot with a string, and said calmly:

Come in.

The woman with her hair in a bun took a file bag and walked into the room with a respectful smile on her face.

The woman's appearance and dress exuded an intellectual temperament, especially when she placed the files on the table, her voice, appearance, and behavior were polite.

Dean Ji, the last file you want is here. Do you need anything else?

Ji Li raised his head and met the woman's bright eyes, deliberately paused for a few seconds and then thanked:

No need, Director Wang, you can get off work.

The woman called Director Wang nodded slightly and said yes, then stepped on her high heels and walked out the door.

At this time, Ji Li leaned on his chair and suddenly asked a mysterious topic:

How do you get home, Director Wang?

The woman stopped when she heard the words and turned around slowly. The smile on her face looked a little stiff under the dim light, but her tone was still respectful.

Go to the garage on the first floor and do not leave the college on foot. This is a school rule set by you.

Except for the Chief Dean above you, your word is the rule.

The orange desk lamp flashed a few times at this time, then suddenly went out, plunging the entire office into darkness.

Director Wang, however, quietly left without knowing when, without the sound of high heels.

Ji Li took out his lighter and lit another cigarette. He slowly picked up the cane beside the table and stood up from the chair.

When passing by the desk, he picked up the last portfolio and walked towards the door.

The door was locked, and there was a square plastic sign taped to the door, which vaguely read: Vice Dean's Office.

…

Tiannan Theater Academy was deserted late at night.

Director Wang, who had just gotten off work, said he was leaving, but there was no vehicle driving out in the snow.

Only Ji Li, who was wearing a black coat and holding a cane, was walking slowly in the snowy night, carrying a file bag.

Tiannan Theater Academy is big, very big.

There are more than ten buildings alone. If you are not familiar with the environment here, you may get lost if you walk at night.

But for Ji Li, the location he wanted to go to this time was very easy to find.

After walking out of the staff office building area, there was only one brightly lit building left on the entire campus, and that was his destination - the library.

Ji Li exhaled a puff of smoke mixed with white mist, stepped on the crunching snow, and began to integrate the information in his heart.

“The twenty clerks can be divided into several special groups.

Student part: There are 5 female students (one died), and the rest are in the female dormitory; there are 8 male students (4 died or are missing).

Teacher identity: Yu Guo, Mo Lan;

Staff: Men's Dormitory No. 1, Administrator Xue Tinghai, Men's Dormitory No. 3, Administrator Chang Lai, and Janitor Zhu Xiaoning;

The last two, their identities are the most special, and they are also the most crucial if you think about it.

Librarian: Song Yitong;

And I……

Ji Li, vice president of Tiannan Academy of Drama.

Judging from the current situation, the student section has the highest proportion of store clerks and the highest casualty rate, and most operations are limited to nighttime.

There are four campus employees and staff, each in charge of special areas.

For example, Xue Tinghai and Chang Lai were in charge of the dormitories; Song Yitong was in charge of the library;

As a guard, Zhu Xiaoning is very special. His activities seem to be unrestricted and he can roam the campus day and night.

Zhu Xiaoning is also the only one who is in a similar situation to Ji Li and can implement unlimited connections.

Because Ji Li's identity is too powerful.

He is the vice-president of the Tiannan Academy of Drama, and his status as one person puts him above all store employees and even all ghosts.

Originally, this status did not bring many practical benefits, except that no one could control him and he could give orders.

But the most important thing is that the entire academy's rules were actually written by him.

Of course, even with this status, Ji Li must abide by all the rules.

Because this code was already formed before he entered the mission.

Identity Rationalization is the second item in the mission notes.

Ji Li originally thought that this comment meant that the clerks were suddenly inserted into the academy.

But as soon as the identity of the deputy dean emerged, he realized that this idea was wrong.

To be more precise, identity rationalization is to apply the existing identity in the academy to the clerk.

Take the deputy dean as an example.

This position, or this person, existed before the mission began, and the campus rules were formulated by him.

But during the mission execution stage, this person disappeared, and his identity was taken over by Ji Li.

Therefore, Ji Li, a person who had probably never gone to college and did not understand art, became the deputy dean at such a young status.

He became the nominal campus code maker, but the specific code still needs to be further explored.

However, his status as deputy dean made this easy.

The file bag currently held in his left hand contains all the rules of the Tiannan Academy of Drama - the rules of the bright side.

As for other potential codes, further research is still needed.

Ji Li thinks this is an opportunity but also a hidden danger.

The status of under one person allowed him to obtain most of the codes that many people dream of, allowing him to move freely regardless of any place or time.

But again, why did such a powerful identity happen to be on his head.

It is unknown what kind of situation they will face in the subsequent missions.

Because of the inconvenience of his right leg and the lack of time, Ji Li was unhappy walking on this road.

The time for a cigarette was over, and he still had a long way to go, which also gave him time to continue thinking.

Dark night is the most dangerous time.

Because of their identities as students, teachers, and administrators, most of the store clerks are trapped in their respective areas.

During the day, there is the most action and the time when intelligence is gathered.

After dawn, all identities need to gather in the teaching building. This is the time when the mission really begins.

As for why Ji Li abandoned everyone and went to Song Yitong in the library first.

That’s because in certain areas of the campus, such as dormitories, office buildings, cafeterias, teaching buildings, etc., the last rule on the books is “no ghosts.”

Only the library is out of place. Its first rule is:

There is a ghost in the library.
