In the world of strange rules, abstract and complex, [infinite]

In the WeChat group, the big guys went through a heated chat and finally decided to accept Ye Xi's suggestion.

The seven people were thus divided into two groups, one group of four boys, and one group of four girls. Considering that the girls were more familiar with romance novels, everyone decided to start writing from the girls' group first. In addition, Xie Wei also tactfully asked them to slightly revise their ideas after they finished writing, to avoid their eyes going dark for romance novels.

From the front of the communication, Xie Wei is a straightforward, honest, and impolite person, and his attitude of asking for help makes people feel very comfortable. Therefore, Ye Xi, Wang Xiaowu, and Song Yingying have no opinion on this, and they all show that they have read countless novels and have learned many basic principles.

As planned, everyone began to seriously look at the draft. Ye Xi had just roughly glanced over the opinions, so he was not in a hurry. He first took out an A4 paper from the bag on the bookshelf, and then began to revise the key points one by one.

Not the key manuscript, but the key Rule Realm.

Like the lowest-quality manuscript, the content of this simple, direct mission communication manuscript she did not copy, but about the two rules of the lunch box, she used her own method after refining the essence to rewrite it. Besides this, there was also the rule "Living room has full-length mirrors, no paintings; study room has paintings, no full-length mirrors", she also copied it onto paper.

Writing it down once has always been her way of enhancing her memory.

After that, she recorded some things, from the best to the worst, such as what was in the computer folders, and the piece of paper stuck on the desk.

Unconsciously, a whole A4 paper was written all over. In the process of writing, Ye Xi's mentality gradually stabilized.

After finishing this page, Diep Tich opened the manuscript again, read it carefully, and then began to "compose" himself.

The computer already had a draft that started with the university freshman registration, and now the plot has just progressed to the male and female leads starting to date. The two people's date location was set at a campus cafe, after thinking carefully, Ye Xi decided to write a thousand-character dating experience.

The humble person is only a thousand words, the environment is described in 500, the food is described in 500, then the introduction is a thousand words, the psychological reenactment is a thousand, and then it's over.

This kind of writing method, in the teacher's mouth called "Sinh tu nganh translucent", in the internet circle is called "Sprinkling water".

But, who cares!

Possessing supernatural abilities, "He", to the point of explaining and writing novels, not everyone can do it?!

But in reality, even though it was "watering", Ye Xi still poured it until it was full. When she finally finished 3000 words, it was almost 11 o'clock. Ye Xi opened the lunch box software and ordered a lunch box. She chose a spicy hot pot restaurant, ordered a spicy hot pot single person meal, a bowl of rice, and a glass of sugar-free Coca-Cola.

Then continue to concentrate on typing, because in the afternoon I will help my friends to organize their thoughts.

.

Changxing Street 17th Grand Courtyard, Xiao Leng was resting at noon when he didn't go eat, he was sitting on the office chair with his eyes closed to rest. He had his hands behind his head, a pair of long legs were dancing haphazardly on the desk, a black windbreaker hung down on both sides, outside the window the bright sunlight shone in, all around him was plated with a hazy golden glow, his fair skin seemed to be shining through, his slender eyelashes were like strands of beautiful light golden threads.

He is thinking about the situation.

Anyone familiar with Xiao Leng knows that when he is thinking about something, he doesn't like to be disturbed.

But Yang Ge was carrying documents in his hand as he entered the office, and didn't look closely at what he was doing. As soon as he caught sight of the windbreaker, he opened his mouth: "Team Leader Xiao, this is the new strategy team's secretary..."

Speaking halfway, Duong Ca raised her head and saw his appearance clearly, raising her hand to cover her mouth.

Xiao Leng's eyebrows jumped slightly, showing obvious displeasure, then he opened his eyes wide, revealing a face that seemed to stink as he got on the bed: "Can you please not delay me from bringing the new bed?"

"..." Yang Ge looked down on the ceiling, moved closer, and placed the documents on his table, "They tried the props transaction, and for the time being, there were no unexpected events. You can take a look."

"Also related to the shopping mall rules discussion a few days ago..."

Yang Ge flipped through the stack of papers, pulled out one of them, and placed it on top. His bright red fingernails scratched a line of words on it: "Look at this."

Tieu Lang indifferently looked over it, it was a passage from the ancient text "Shan Hai Jing".

"Inside the ocean, there is a mountain with a slope, above there is a large peach tree, this is a thousand miles away, this is the northeast of the gate of ghosts, where all ghosts come and go. Above there are two gods, one is called Shen Tu, the other is called Yu Lui, the masters and commanders of all ghosts. The good and harmful ghosts, take great pride in their deeds and take the tiger's food."

Among them, Shen Tu and Yu Luy are two words that he is familiar with. In the shopping mall's strange rules, these are the names of two stores. In one of them, it is the Dai He Zhong brand that has "men's and women's jewelry" that comes and goes.

Xiao Leng murmured: "'Northeast, there is a ghost gate... Above, there is a god, one is Shen Tu, one is Yu Lui'..." His eyes paused for a moment, then he looked up, "So that family of 'men and women cross-dressing' symbolizes the 'ghost gate'?"

"That should be the case." Yang Ge nodded, "Not only that, the two buildings are decorated in blue, and the walls have water ripples. The remaining three buildings are made of peach wood, and can all be placed against each other."

"As for Liet Nhu Thanh Lien and Kiem Diep Lam, I will personally check them out." As she spoke, she flipped her fingers and took out another piece of paper.

"'Lie Ru Qing Lian Hell' is a Buddhist term for hell, belonging to the 'eight cold hells'; 'Sword Leaf Forest' is similar, but belongs to the 'near-border hells'."

Duong Ca sorted out Liet Nhu Thanh Lien and Kiem Diep Lam's general information and stamped it out. At the bottom of Kiem Diep Lam's directory, there was also a patriarchal chart. On the drawing was the appearance of the Buddhist temple of Kiem Diep Lam.

The first drawing, from afar, is the appearance of Sword Leaf Forest, which seems to be a lush, dreamy forest, lush and green, full of vitality.

The first visual map is pulled closer, it turns out that the beauty of the Sword Leaf Forest is fake, the trees in the forest are all cycads, shaking the branches and leaves is a sharp sword, swaying with the wind when it can take away the lives of the passersby.

The disciple who died there was a tragic figure. This figure was drawn with exceptional care. His pierced body, painful expression, and blood flowing all over the ground were all depicted in detail.

Tieu Lanh couldn't help but remember the dead man at Kiem Diep Lam's shop, Ton Ky Nhien, his death was extremely similar to the person on the drawing.

Yang Ge hesitantly asked: "I wonder, is it possible to find someone to post this information online? From the available information, when different people enter the same Rule Realm, the rules will change, but this is a hypothetical situation, so it won't necessarily change."

Duong Ca feels that this kind of simple information can be sent out to help everyone search for information and learn first.

So even if "He" even changed his store name, such as changing "Lie Ru Hong Lien" "Hei Thang" and other names to his store name, netizens only need to look at the relevant information from Hell to make a basic judgment.

Xiao Leng pondered for a moment, but did not object: "I think it is possible. If it is not effective in the Rule Realm, then we can consider learning traditional culture——then can we still raise some funding with the Ministry of Education?"

"... Okay, I'll find someone to arrange it." Yang Ge didn't have the heart to argue with him. After agreeing, he glanced at him again, his expression becoming a little more cautious, "There's also this matter."

Tieu Lanh said casually: "What?"

"That Miss Gu… is the one I met at the mall a few days ago." She paused, "She goes to Building 17."

"Then please come here." Tieu Lanh naturally spoke, his attention still on the information in front of him.

Duong Ca was stunned and added: "Actually... She arrived yesterday."

"?" The confusion in Tieu Lanh's mind stopped for a moment, he suddenly reacted to what had happened, suddenly raised his head and looked straight at Duong Ca.

.

In the study, Ye Xi finished combing the outline and then posted the part she had written on the piano. Song Yingying and Wang Xiaowu wrote faster than her. There were already two files on the piano records.

Only Chu Di did not move.

Wang Xiaowu just happened to say: "That...@Zhu Di are you okay? I see you haven't spoken for a long time."

These words made the atmosphere in the group a little tense, everyone immediately fell silent, Diep Tich felt that everyone was probably staring at the screen, waiting for Chu Di to respond.

That is,

One minute, two minutes, five minutes...

About ten minutes passed without a sound.

[502- Xie Wei]: "Did something happen to her? When was the last time she spoke?"

Wang Xiaowu immediately scrolled up the chat history, found Zhou Di's last sentence, pressed "Quote", and sent it to the group: "It's this."

Her last piece of news was when Ye Xi suggested a relay team, she said, "I agree with Gu Chao."

It was more than two hours ahead of time.

Where to go next?

Everyone almost recalled the events that had happened earlier at the same time. Xie Wei immediately spoke up, his voice clearly trembling: "She, she said earlier that she wanted to order the lunch box over? Did something happen to the lunch box?"

[603- Ngo Hac ]: "Fuck, you lost a teammate so quickly?"

At this moment, Ye Xi's doorbell rang. "Du——" a sound, it sounded like the old-fashioned type of electric bell, sharp and a bit hoarse.

Diep Tich strangely felt that this bell sound was like a soul summoning.

She took out her cell phone and opened the lunch box software to take a look. The lunch box order she just placed had jumped from "Delivered" to "Delivered".

Lunch boxes are right outside the door.

She took a deep breath, stood up, and walked lightly towards the main door.

The pair of eyes glued to the cat's eyes, sticky with thick blood, twisted fangs as the other raised his head and collided with Ye Xi's mucous membrane.

"!!!" Diep Tich tightly covered his mouth, falling down two steps in a row.

Outside, a very normal voice rang out: "Hello, lunch box!"

"Hello..." The two words had just reached the throat when a flash of inspiration suddenly appeared in Diep Tich's mind, and his voice immediately stopped.

She held her breath tightly, unfolded the rule in her hand and glanced at it, her realization suddenly causing her to be shocked.

She did not dare to make a sound, tightly covering her mouth, step by step retreating back to the study.

The lunch box seemed to be waiting for her to open the door. The silence remained for a moment, then the voice rang out again: "Open the door!" At the same time, there was also the sound of knocking on the door.

light light light, light light light...

The knocking on the door became more and more intense. At first, the door was just shaking, then it even shook with dust. Ye Xi's heart tensed up, and after a brief moment of brain fog, she once again ran out of the study and towards the bedroom.

Rule 8: The bedroom is absolutely quiet!

But the moment she ran into the bedroom, the cell phone suddenly rang, the sound was very loud, with an extremely pleasant rhythm and melody, at this moment it sounded like a dead person's footsteps.

Diep Tich hurriedly wanted to hang up the phone, but his thumb just pressed down to cut the call and then stopped.

Extreme urgency is a very subtle thing, sometimes it will make people's brains go crazy, sometimes it will stimulate people's quick wits.

Diep Tich stared at the button and took a deep breath, not daring to let go at all. His thumb slowly moved towards the area where his beard was, but he waited another second before daring to let go.

The cut off operation was not triggered, the spirit sound continued to vibrate, and Ye Xi suddenly let out a sigh of relief.

The person outside shouted again, his voice becoming louder: "Open the door quickly! I heard your cell phone ringing! I have another order to deliver!"

Diep Tich immediately threw the cell phone on the floor, then lightly walked and sat on the edge of the bed.

Not long after, the mobile phone rang and stopped, then rang again.

Outside the knocking became more intense, the hurried urging sound also became strange.

"Hehe... Ha ha ha..." The distorted, ear-piercing laughter was clearly not human, like an indescribable monster making a sound in hell.

Along with the general, there was also the sound of hardened armor scraping against the metal door panels.

"Sigh —— sigh ——" each sound has a very long ending, making one's heart tremble.

"Private --"

The strange laughter and scratching lasted for about ten minutes before stopping, then the cell phone rang again.

Diep Tich still didn't care, letting the sound of the phone ringing and shaking at the same time as it was opened, causing the phone to shake several centimeters away from the ground.

Waiting until this loud noise ended, outside finally recovered human voices, it was a not so clear voice mumbling: "Are you home?"

"How come you don't have your cell phone with you when you're not at home?"

After the first sentence, Diep Tich finally heard the sound of footsteps going away.

... Escape?

Diep Tich does not know.

The rules for lunch boxes are the sixth and seventh, respectively:

"6. Take the lunch box first, please first use the cat's eye to identify the lunch box's appearance and make a sound. The lunch box can be of any gender or age, but it must have two eyes, a nose and a mouth;"

"7. If the lunch box you see matches the description, you can open the door directly. If it doesn't match the description, please let him put the lunch box outside the door and re-order the lunch box for you."

The two internal rules seem to be clearly stated, but in fact they contradict each other.

If the participant does not carefully analyze and discovers that there is a monster outside, he will directly follow the rules and make it place the object outside the door, which will violate the rules.

Because the sixth thing says, "Take the lunch box first, please first through the cat's eye to determine the appearance of the lunch box and make a sound."

——combining the above and below text to conduct the detective logic, the key point of these words should not be the sound itself, but the sound that is emitted will let the monsters outside clearly know that there is someone in the house.

If it was obvious that there was a monster outside, and then told it to put the lunch box by the door, would it really leave? If it ordered the lunch box again, would it definitely not be in danger?

Ye Xi felt that this was a pit. If she could start using the [Distinguishing Dogs] tool, she felt that the only lively German Shepherd would definitely tell her that this rule was fake.

So she moved to her mouth to say something but swallowed it back.

To the point of turning a deaf ear to the mobile phone, it is also based on this detective's idea of ​​self-protection.

The mobile phone rang and was pressed again, which was a confirmation that there was indeed someone in the room. If the mobile phone kept ringing but no one paid attention, it could be mistaken for a monster outside, making the other party think that she was not at home, but that the mobile phone was just stopped inside the house.

However, she actually did not know whether this kind of mistake could succeed. If it failed, if the moment the phone rang, the deadlock would be decided, then she could not think of any other solution for the time being.

Unable to think of any other solution, she could only take one step at a time. Ye Xi followed the rules and re-ordered a boxed lunch. In order to avoid being too strict with the "Again" order, she did not dare to change anything from the boxed lunch software to the merchant to the food.

A portion of spicy hot pot stir-fried sauce for one person, worth a bowl of rice, plus a glass of sugar-free Coca-Cola.

After submitting the order, she took advantage of the waiting time to post all her recent experience and analysis to the group and shared it with the other participants. The group immediately started discussing. Some people were shocked, saying, "I rely on you." Some people doubted whether her analysis was reliable or not.

Waited about fifteen minutes, lunch box arrived.

Diep Tich originally thought she had calmed down, but the moment the doorbell rang, her heart still beat fast.

At this moment, she quickly turned her cell phone to silent, then anxiously and cautiously walked towards the door, looking outside through the peephole.

Outside is an ordinary lunch box boy, very ordinary but long eyes, a nose and a mouth.

Diep Tich took a deep breath, listened to his chaotic heartbeat, and reached out to open the door to shake hands.

"Hello, your lunch box." The door just opened a crack, the young man immediately brought the bag in his hand over.

The transparent plastic bag has the words "XX spicy hot pot" printed on it. Through the bag, it is easy to see that inside there are two rectangular plastic boxes, along with a jug of Coca.

"Thank you." Diep Tich extended his hand and continued walking. The young man sadly said, "A five-star praise for your trouble." Before he could finish speaking, the person had already turned around and left.

Diep Tich quickly closed the door, his body pressed against the door panel, and stared at the cat's eyes for a long time.

Like...nothing wrong?

A few minutes later, her breathing slowly calmed down, she lowered her head to look at the lunch box in her hand, wiped her sweat, sat on the living room sofa, and immediately brought the seemingly safe situation into the group.

Xie Wei said: "It seems that Gu Chao's analysis is correct. Those two internal rules really need to be interpreted according to her method."

Wang Xiaowu: "So strong… I saw that those two things were read very smoothly, and didn't think much of it at all. Gu Chao was able to suddenly react in an emergency situation, and it was my turn to be chilled."

Song Doanh Doanh: "So, Chu Di probably died because he couldn't analyze this fake rule?"

Ngo Hac: "Probably right."

Chu Wen: "Actually, I also guessed it would be like this before, but my lunch box hasn't arrived yet hahaha, once it's verified, everyone is safe!"

This final piece of news made Diep Tich's mouth slightly twitch in disdain.

After finishing a very calm afternoon, the male student worked hard to write a manuscript, the female student was idle, simply sitting in the group watching the male student write romance novels that he knew nothing about until his head was bald.

So this atmosphere was rarely light for a few hours. At dinner time, Song Yingying and Wu He also encountered a courier crisis, but according to the solution provided by Ye Xi, everything went smoothly.

After finishing eating, the male student was busy for more than an hour, finally satisfied from scratching his scalp.

In order to ensure that this round of "communication" would not have any problems, they directly sent the newly written article to the group, and received it from each female student separately.

So within a day, each person wrote 3000 words, also sent a draft to the group, and was accepted, reaching a very complete "communication" step.

After eleven o'clock, the rich people gradually returned to the master bedroom, washed their faces and went to bed.

Not at all unexpected, the dangerous rules between the lines of text made the tycoon unable to sleep.

Wang Xiaowu: "What the hell is going to happen between 0:00 and 8:00… Scared! Trembling!"

Song Yingying comforted her, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. Didn't the rules say that the bedroom is absolutely safe? No matter what happens, we stay in the bedroom and don't go out. There shouldn't be any problems."

Wang Xiaowu: "What if that rule is fake?"

Song Doanh Doanh: "..."

Thao, then you are dead for sure!

Ta Duy raised his head and said: "I will tell you my opinion for your reference."

"I feel that these two rules 'cannot leave the main door' and 'the bedroom is absolutely safe' are either completely true or completely false."

Wang Xiaowu: "... Why?"

Speaking of this step, the analysis was still unclear. Before Xie Wei could finish his sentence, Song Yingying became impatient and added two more words in succession: "Because the rules of the game are essentially spoilers. They are not opened to kill everyone, but to be brutal, they also want to give people a way out! If these two internal rules are both real, then it means that the main door really cannot be opened, but as long as you stay in the master bedroom, you are safe; if they are both fake, then it means that although the master bedroom is not safe, but if you encounter danger, you can run out of the main door."

"But if one is true and one is false, for example, we really can't get out of the main door, but the master bedroom is also not safe, then this is a dead end, once the danger falls, we will be like little white rats thrown poison gas in the laboratory, we can only sit and wait to die."

Originally, Xie Wei stopped typing and explained. After listening to Song Yingying's voice once, he expressed his approval: "That's right."

Wang Xiaowu curled up in the blanket and frowned: "What if it's the other way around? For example, it's fake that we can't go out the main door, but the master bedroom is absolutely safe?"

Song Doanh Doanh: "..."

"What does that mean, sister!!!"

"The master bedroom is absolutely safe, and if you encounter danger, you can still run out and ask for help from other participants. There are safe zones everywhere. Let's all keep 'him' to play, right!!!"

"Why do you think there was only one person on a floor? It was to prevent everyone from coming into direct contact, creating the effect of sealing off the secret room!"

Diep Tich did not join this discussion, but that did not affect her silently watching with her phone.

Wang Xiaowu's reflexive bow shape was too silly, making Ye Xi laugh and cry, curious about how she had cleared the previous Rule Realm.

... It can only be said that being able to nimbly hug the other's thigh in a difficult situation is actually a kind of hard strength.

Seeing Wang Xiaowu's continuous "Ah ah ah" from Song Yingying's wild and reckless explanation, Ye Xi couldn't help but laugh.

"Chi ——" the door was suddenly scratched loudly.

This sound seemed to be just outside the door, but it seemed to be a bit far away. It was that kind of sharp and vague sound, just like the people in the high-rise building heard a car accident on the road downstairs. The front brakes of the car hit each other, causing the tires to skid across the asphalt road, making a deafening sound.

Diep Tich suddenly had trouble breathing, his eyes moved away from the phone screen, through the darkness, and landed on the door.

Without any difference the sound rang out again.

The wooden door panels shook a little.:,,.
