Chapter 22: 25,26The author's strange rules (5),6 if she continues like this, she will always...
Diep Tich replied: "Like that."
Then put down the phone, looked at the ceiling and began to wonder.
What Zhou Wen said sounded like there was no problem. Based on Ye Xi's previous experience, the strange rules would indeed bring her to the place not far from where she came from after finishing the discussion.
The first time she was in the library area when she inexplicably entered the Rule Realm, after coming out, she was taken to a remote alley behind the library area with few human footprints.
The second time was at the shopping mall, after the strange conversation ended she also returned to the original shopping mall vicinity, also a long time ago deserted place.
So if Zhou Wen was already at Xishan Road before entering this Rule Realm, and then used the hidden egg to leave and returned to Xishan Road after, there seemed to be no problem.
Well, that's not to say it's completely out of the question.
The two times she entered the strange chat before were directly related to the places she originally went to. When she went to the library, it was the library's rules strange chat. When she went to the mall, it was the mall's rules strange chat.
But this time the strange chat location is in an apartment, the strange chat topic is the life of an author, Zhou Wen is waiting for someone in a coffee shop before entering the strange chat, this has no connection.
Thinking back to herself again —— before entering this strange pond, she had just arrived at Changxing Street 17, and following the guard's instructions to go to the registration area next to it, when she suddenly fainted.
This has nothing to do with the topic of this strange conversation, and has nothing in common with Zhou Wen's "Waiting for someone at the coffee shop".
This time the rules of the strange talk, from the very beginning, appeared strange.
Ye Xi picked up the phone again and sent two sentences in a surprised tone: "Huh? You came from the coffee shop? I usually slept at home the night before, and I was here when I opened my eyes!"
"The place I entered the Rule Realm before was related to the place I went to before, this is the same. How did you get from the coffee shop to the apartment building?"
The two sentences did not reveal any personal information, nor did they mention the semi-secret unit of Changxing Street 17, and at the same time, effectively caused everyone to discuss.
Song Yingying said: "The place I waited for before entering this Rule Realm has nothing to do with the apartment. I had just started school and was in the instructor's office waiting for her to come and talk about something when I fainted."
Wu He said: "I fainted on the way to school… Now that I think about it, I'm a bit worried about delaying the kids from school."
In addition, Xie Wei recounted that he was dragged away while walking in the park. Wang Xiaowu originally wanted to go to a large theme park in the south of B city to meet up with friends, but he fell into a coma shortly after getting in the car.
Wang Xiaowu said in response to this: "Before I was unconscious, I thought I was going to meet a perverted driver to take revenge on society, but it turns out it was just a strange rule! Too bad! That's fine!"
Ngo Hac: "Poof..."
Wang Xiaowu became serious: "Don't laugh, for girls, this kind of malicious intent coming from the common environment is really more frightening than strange talk about the rules."
Diep Tich deeply accepted, couldn't help but reply "Indeed", then stared at the screen of the big boss's autobiography, slightly moving the corner of his mouth.
If the boss is not lying, then the meaning of this strange talk has absolutely nothing to do with what everyone did before, regardless of the location or topic.
The confusion in her heart was brought closer to confirmation, but at the same time, a detail of her speculation became vague.
She is not too sure.
But she can think of a way to make it clear.
The topic of the group was briefly diverted by Ye Xi, and quickly returned to Zhou Wen's "concealment and escape method" issue. Xie Wei was very careful, and did not have any hesitation when looking at the two photos. Instead, he said, "How do I know if this photo is real or not? 'He' can even make this kind of Rule Realm, so making two photos should not be even more difficult, right?"
Chu Wen was shocked by this sentence, and his voice was clearly angry: "Who isn't, you fucking Jiang Xie? Believe it or not, in any case, whether I run or not, it has no effect on me at all!"
Diep Tich used his external camera to listen to the voice, his eyebrows jumped, and he typed: "Why are you still able to contact us after leaving the Rule Realm?"
"Based on..." Song Yingying stared at this problem, her scalp suddenly numb like the electric current that passed through it.
This was a blind spot. After everyone saw what Zhou Wen said, their attention was entirely on his "concealment and escape method" and "is the escape method real or fake?" They completely didn't feel that there was anything strange about Zhou Wen still talking in the group at this time.
But although the mobile phones in their hands were exactly the same size as their own mobile phones in front, no matter whether it was through the size or the newness or oldness, one could judge that they were not the same set. In other words, "he" did not stop at using supernatural powers to change the mobile app, but directly arranged a set of "props" for them in the Rule Realm.
But from the previous rules of the strange talk, all the things in the strange talk scene cannot be taken away.
In other words, even if Zhou Wen didn't have the special retreat when he left, he probably didn't have the mobile phone in the Rule Realm in his hand, so why would he still speak up in the group?
Zhou Wen seemed to be stunned by these words. After a few minutes, he responded: "I don't know either… It's a bit strange, but I really did figure it out."
"This group ran to my original mobile WeChat group, and it was still fixed on the top..."
Then he started to think: "Could it be a colored egg reward? Because I broke the rules and left the Rule Realm, so 'he' gave me a chance, to let me bring out everyone?"
This conjecture is destined to not find a definite answer, even Diep Tich cannot judge the truth, but obviously someone is moved.
Ngo Hac: "If not, can you think of a way to prove it yourself?"
Chu Van: "How to prove it yourself?"
Ngo Hac: "You go ahead and wait for that person at the coffee shop, order a cup of American iced coffee, then find a table to sit down, take out a piece of paper and write your name?"
Chu Van: "... Why don't I just directly post a video for everyone?"
Ngo Hac: "That's right."
After about fifteen minutes, Zhou Wen arrived at the coffee shop and opened a video chat directly in the group.
He did not reveal his face, but everyone in the coffee shop saw it. Xi Thien Street in City B is the top place, Ye Xi has also been to this coffee shop, she looked carefully at the layout in the video, it was the appearance in her impression.
Order, get food, sit down, Chu Van operated smoothly, after buying coffee he also looked at the limited edition products displayed in the store.
Then, he and the store clerk asked for paper and pen, sat on a chair in the corner, held his cell phone in his left hand, aimed the cell phone camera at the desk, and wrote down "Chu Van" with his right hand.
Such flexible video verification undoubtedly made Zhou Wen's words increase the credibility, Wu He excitedly expressed: "It looks like we can really go first, friends, are you going or not!"
Ta Duy: "... You believe?"
Ngo Hac asked again: "It's all like that, why don't you believe it?"
Xie Wei: "Everything on the internet can be faked, including live broadcasts. You believe it so easily, I feel like you are basically a high-risk group of people deceiving people with telegrams."
This statement is too blunt, Wu He and Zhou Wen did not do it at all.
Wu He: "No… Not to that extent? You still don't believe how you made him prove it? There's no way he can return to the Rule Realm, right?"
Zhou Wen: "You fucking idiot! Fuck, think about it, could this kind of video be fake? If it was fake, then that means 'he' can create streets and cafes that are exactly the same as the real world, then why isn't 'he' doing it in the Rule Realm?"
This round of arguing suddenly increased in intensity.
Indeed, no matter what scene the Rule Realm is in, it can immediately make people feel that this is not the real world.
For example, the library, although most of the areas are normal, but the black background and red letters on the cover are more than the major religious areas, at a glance it looks strange; for example, the shopping mall, from the decoration to the product labels to the store names, all are invisible in the real world.
There seems to be an invisible barrier between him and the real world, making it so that even though he has some understanding of the real world, he cannot completely depict it.
Wu He was in conflict on the sofa in the living room. In the end, he desperately wanted to get rid of his upper hand. He bit his lips and made up his mind: "Friends, I'll try to calculate how Zhou Wen will operate. Everyone, wish me luck!"
Song Yingying couldn't help but say: "Are you sure? We can leave tomorrow, I don't think there's any need to be desperate..."
Wu He: "Ha ha ha ha ha this kind of weird place of Rules Realm, maybe even a minute is fine, let alone a day and a half? It's okay, I'm especially good at Xi Shan Street, I feel that Zhou Wen's video is fine, you guys wait for my good news!"
Xie Wei, who had always opposed this idea, did not say anything. Wang Xiaowu felt that her analytical ability was not as good as that of the master, so she remained silent. Ye Xi felt that it was useless to say more, so she did not say anything more.
Only Chu Van said gently: "Do you want to come to Xi Thien for a meal? I'll treat you!"
Wu He spoke at this time, his voice containing a clear smile because he was about to escape danger: "No, no, the entire world is unsafe right now, everyone protect yourselves, after we go out, let's pretend we don't know each other! We'll meet again by chance!"
After this voice, Wu He went into the study and started to get busy. He followed Zhou Wen's instructions to find a rope, tied up the laptop, then went into the bedroom himself and took the computer away.
To avoid any accidents, he carefully closed the door before bringing the folding table up and solemnly placing the computer on the square frame that Zhou Wen said.
The computer and the square frame are exactly the same size, that is, nothing happened.
Ngo Hac frowned, thinking that he had not placed it tightly enough. He carefully adjusted the paste on the table, but still did not hear any reminders.
"That's not right, I'm in the bedroom right now, I've already done it your way, no one said I could go." Wu He sent this voice to the audience, conveniently @ Zhou Wen a bit.
Chu Wen: "? No, I immediately heard the prompt after I launched the computer, can you take a picture for me to see?"
Ngo Hac put the computer display screen on the stage, the laptop was neatly arranged in a square frame, and there were already two screens, one was ready for use, the other was open.
Chu Van had a series of question marks jumping above his head, seemingly in a state of confusion.
Wu He was not impatient, and patiently guided him: "If not, think about it, what are you doing in front of the computer station? Maybe there is this kind of seemingly unrelated step, but in fact the most important?"
Seeing them take a step closer to the analysis, Ye Xi, who was sitting at the computer table and wanted to help Xie Wei fix a new piece of steel, also became curious. His eyes moved to the mobile screen, waiting for Zhou Wen below.
Chu Van thought for a moment before saying: "Ah, I ordered a lunch box!"
Ta Duy immediately caught the suspicious point: "Wait, the computer is in the bedroom, you still went out of the bedroom to get the lunch box?"
"No." Zhou Wen denied it with a vow, "I was very careful. I first pushed the computer back to the study through the door, then went to get the lunch box. When the lunch box arrived, I pulled the computer back again."
Ta Duy: "..."
Because the bedroom door and the study door are close together, this kind of operation seems to be no problem.
But this is really really "Bug"!
Xie Wei deeply suspected that if "he" could monitor the progress of the Rule Realm in real time, seeing someone playing with the rules like this would make his mood really bad.
While Wu He asked Zhou Wen if there was anything else, he pressed the order he had ordered for a lunch box.
After ordering the lunch box, Wu He had absolutely no need to wait for the lunch box boy to arrive outside the door to deal with the computer, so he directly squatted at the bedroom door and threw the computer onto the floor.
He felt uneasy in his heart, clearly only two steps away, but he was still scared and worried that there would be problems with the operation.
Ngo Hac just squatted there and struggled for half a day, sometimes gesticulating towards the study door, sometimes pondering how much force to use.
Consciously preparing everything, he took a deep breath, pressed down on the computer on the ground with his right hand, and suddenly pushed it towards the study!
"Crack ——" the laptop was magically pushed down, revealing a beautiful curve, just in time to move towards the door.
The next second, the living room door to the right of the room "clacked" and made a noise. The sound clearly touched Wu He's heart, causing his nerves that had just relaxed to suddenly tighten again.
He fearfully looked towards the main door, just in time to see the door latch being moved, down below a pressure...
He thought of going forward to fight back, but it was too late.
.
Wu He appeared in the group again four hours later, he said to everyone in a few words but with much meaning: "I'm out too, currently on the subway."
Having said that, he also posted pictures and videos as proof.
The video was taken at the time the subway was passing through Xiwanmen station. This is a subway station in city B. However, the subway line intersects here, and there are usually crowds of people jostling each other.
But Diep Tich looked at the scene through the video and still felt that there were too many people outside.
The vast crowd was trying their best to get inside, most of their faces looked tired and angry.
Ye Xi asked casually: "What time is it over there now? Is it the afternoon rush hour?"
Ngo Hac complained: "But it's okay, it's just before 6 o'clock, it's the afternoon rush hour, I'm so tired, I feel like I'm going to lose weight!"
Diep Tich raised his eyes slightly, looking at the time in the lower right corner of the computer screen.
5:46, also the afternoon rush hour time.
Although in reality it is nine months, and in Rule Realm it is one month, but the specific time is extremely consistent.
.
The Rules of the Realm up to this point, there are still only Ye Xi, Wang Xiaowu, Song Yingying, a female student, and only Xie Wei is left as a male. Therefore, after Xie Wei finished writing, each person took a part, planning to write everything according to his previous essay tomorrow.
Ta Duy suggested: "Why don't we split into groups again? Just four people, two people per group?"
"That's right." Song Yingying first agreed, Ye Xi and Wang Xiaowu also had no objections, very casually divided into groups again, Ye Xi and Song Yingying were in one group, the next morning they wrote first, Wang Xiaowu and Xie Wei wrote later, then Ye Xi and Song Yingying.
Later that night, a very calm evening, the living room no longer had any strange sounds.
8:00 just arrived, Diep Tich first checked the painting and the full body mirror, there were no changes.
The whole body mirror in the living room, the painting in the study, the number is still two, has not been reduced again, but the disappeared painting has not returned.
Wang Xiaowu sent out a message, and at first glance, he said in a light tone: "The countdown begins! In 9 hours, we will successfully leave this Rule Realm!"
Just like that?
Diep Tich sat in front of the computer, feeling that even if his suspicions were true, this time the Rule of Law Realm seemed too simple.
She always felt that there were other holes, and the hole she saw, was just that at that time her thoughts were not connected, she did not accurately capture the thoughts, and did not immediately conduct research, so now only a vague suspicion remained.
What the hell is this...
Diep Tich kept thinking about this problem while writing the manuscript, but did not have a single idea.
After finishing the new draft, she sent the file to the group. Song Yingying and she finished it at the same time. The two files appeared in the group's dialog box one after the other.
The next second, Diep Tich noticed something in the corner of his eyes, and the long-stuck thought was solved!
"@ Xie Wei @ Wang Xiaowu." She first tagged the two people in the group, then compared the notes posted on the corner of the table, and sent them to the next inbox.
Before he finished typing, Xie Wei's message popped up: "@Wang Xiaowu, I have a mailbox for handing over the manuscript on the corner of my desk. You should have one there too. I think I'll hand over the manuscript before I leave. You should send it to me after you finish writing."
Wang Xiaowu: "Ah ah good! Thanks for the reminder! I didn't pay attention at all!"
"Ta Duy" patted "Co Trieu".
"@ Co Trieu what happened?"
Diep Tich looked at the screen and smiled: "Nothing, I just wanted to remind you to remember to hand in the manuscript, you said it first."
This time in the Rules of the Realm, Xie Wei obviously belonged to a high-quality teammate. Not only was he always very careful, but his intelligence was also always on the line, so communication was smooth and worry-free.
Ye Xi continued to speak slowly, clarifying his thoughts: "Also, I've just come to a conclusion. You two should write these chapters to a grand finale. No matter how strong the ending is, it must have a grand finale."
At this moment, Ta Duy couldn't keep up with his thoughts and said one word: "Ah?"
Diep Tich briefly replied: "You look at the rules."
"The first thing in front says 'the deadline for finishing the manuscript is approaching'. If it is the deadline for finishing the manuscript, then of course the delivery must be the entire manuscript, not an unfinished work."
"If just writing a normal manuscript would be enough to get through, there would be no need for this background assumption at all. As long as we forcefully establish the author's identity, regardless of whether or not the manuscript's due date is near, the request for us to write the manuscript would be logically formed."
"So this 'dead draft day', I feel it is useful..."
Ta Duy recovered and said: "Hey, that makes sense!"
In the Rules of the Realm, many times one originally wanted to survive by "Grabbing Words", but the parts that required "Grabbing Words" were often the easiest to overlook, often at first glance they looked so ordinary that if one didn't think carefully one would completely fail to realize that there was also a hidden pit there.
Therefore, although Xie Wei's intelligence was always on the line, although he made a mistake in this round, he did not feel any loss of face at all, and did not put up a strong front for his own sake. He calmly accepted Ye Xi's body.
Wang Xiaowu became nervous: "But if that's the case... Can't it be ended forcefully? Could it be that because of poor quality it was killed?"
"If you don't hand in the manuscript on time, I will kill you. If the manuscript is ugly, I will also kill you." —— Wang Xiaowu felt that this was indeed a threat that would make the general readers go crazy with joy.
The devil knows whether that invisible, intangible "he" has also been tortured by the author of the pit product.
Ye Xi shook his head, calmly typing, losing Wang Xiaowu's worries: "I don't think so. The news industry and the publishing industry have a small overlap, so I know a little about publishing matters. 'Draft date' is usually just the time the author hands over the first draft, and it's normal to revise it later. There are some relatively sensitive topics, and there may be a large amount of content that requires rewriting, these are two different things from the draft draft handover date. If because of the request to revise the draft, even if the other party doesn't hand over the draft at all, it's considered a hooligan's behavior, and should be thrown on the wall!"
"Like this." Wang Xiaowu seriously read her explanation, and felt a little more at ease, "Then listen to you... Anyway, the quality can't be forced out hahahaha, if I really want quality, I'll accept my fate and seek a quick death!"
Under the stimulus of "Can leave immediately", Wang Xiaowu and Xie Wei both wrote the manuscript exceptionally fast. In order to prevent their understanding of the rules from being insufficiently strict, Ye Xi and Song Yingying sent a copy of the manuscript after they finished writing, and each sent it to the mailbox where they delivered the manuscript.
So that means today, each of them completed 3000 words a day, reached a consensus, and each of them submitted a draft.
The next moment was a long wait. They had only two hours left until 5:00 p.m. to hand in the manuscript, and these two hours seemed longer than the past two days.
Wang Xiaowu couldn't sit still. At first, he could barely stay in front of the computer, clicking away at the screen without eating. Later, he couldn't even sit still, so he started scrolling in the living room.
At first glance it looks like a not so good zoo where the authorities have issued a decree to engrave animal behavior.
Song Doanh Doanh knows how to kill time. Seeing that waiting is difficult, she opens another file and plans her new semester's study plan.
Ta Duy's mood stabilized, he simply returned to the bedroom and lay down to sleep, setting the alarm clock at 16:45.
Lazily wearing pajamas, Diep Tich also returned to the bedroom, took a shower, put on his clothes, dried his hair and then looked at the time on the bedside table: 16:58.
If you want to leave at 17:00, this time seems really limited, even calculating when it arrives will make people nervous.
But she did not plan to leave.
Seeing that time was about to end, Song Yingying, Xie Wei, and Wang Xiaowu all walked towards the main gate at the same time. At a place only half a step away from the main gate, they waited for more than a minute to pass.
Diep Tich still sat there, quietly looking at the clock, the numbers jumped from 58 to 59, then jumped to 17:00.
17:01.
Another minute passed, the room did not have any change, quiet enough to hear a needle. Outside the window, the wind and sand were still there, earth yellow, gray, it was the same color after that day's sandstorm, the whole world was very familiar.
No matter, she can continue to wait, see who waits longer than who.
If she continues to sit like this, there must be someone more confused and anxious than her.:,,.
❀❀❀
903, Wang Xiaowu opened the door of the room and was on guard. He went out and looked around for a while, confirming that there were no unknown creatures in the hallway before he dared to go out. With each step he took, his heart beat faster.
...Where is the white light? Why hasn't it appeared yet?
After leaving the Rule Realm smoothly, shouldn't he have been immediately teleported out by the white light? How did it turn out now? Is "he" absent-minded?
Worried, guarded, and suspicious, he walked with her to the elevator door.
There were a total of six elevators in the elevator hall, one of which was coming down from the 5th floor, looking like it had just received Xie Wei.
Maybe it's been a long time since leaving the apartment, then thinking about leaving the dungeon?
Wang Xiaowu forcefully maintained his composure and pressed the down button.
An idle elevator immediately reacted, moving, through the elevator door, Wang Xiaowu heard the sound of machinery operating inside.
About a minute later, the elevator door opened. Wang Xiaowu, anxiously guarding against the situation, entered the elevator. She unconsciously held her breath until she couldn't hold it anymore and immediately exhaled.
"Clink ——"
1 long time coming
The elevator door opened, Wang Xiaowu looked around again, then walked out. The single door was several meters away, there were no signs of wind or sand outside the door, just a patch of cloudless sky.
Such a scene, on the contrary, made Wang Xiaowu not dare to go out.
... Will she finally leave the dungeon?
If not leaving, the sky should not be like this; if leaving, where is the agreement that becomes white light?
At the same time, waiting at the entrance of the hall, a person turned around to look at her. Because of the backlight, Wang Xiaowu couldn't see the other person's face clearly, only seeing that the other person was a girl about as tall as her.
Without waiting for her to ask, the other party spoke first: "Wang Siqi, you live at 903, right?"
"Ah... Ah right!" After using a fake name for three days, Wang Siqi suddenly heard his real name. He almost couldn't react.
The other party took a few steps forward to intercept, and made a "Please" gesture towards the direction outside the unit. Wang Siqi hesitated, not knowing whether he should follow or not. The other party directly introduced himself non-stop: "Don't be nervous, I am a staff member of number 17, you should have heard of us."
"You have met our people in the Rule Realm before. Because of their good performance, the other party told you that we can provide you with a high-paying job. They asked if you were interested in participating in an interview. Did you have any impression?"
"Ah, there is such a thing!" Wang Siqi nodded in acknowledgement, despite the current situation still being a bit confusing.
Of course she had an impression of that invitation. That time, there were two people in the Rule Realm, one was her, the other was from the 17th rank. In fact, in her opinion, her performance that time wasn't that good. She was only able to survive because she was good at wearing jewelry on her feet and didn't like to come up with wild ideas.
So when the other party invited her, she clearly felt that this was a kind of "dwarf general withdrawal" result.
As for why she would accept the invitation, the reason was very simple —— the other party's words of "high-paying job" were very alluring to her. Surviving in City B was not an easy task, no one would be unable to survive without money.
So she immediately showed acceptance and also left the other party a contact method.
At that time, she told herself that even if she felt that she had not performed well, it was because the other party valued her, she was not lying to them. Moreover, if there was still an "interview", if she was not suitable, she would naturally be eliminated, so it would not be a loss to come back.
Now it seems...
"You just passed the Rule Realm, that's what we're interviewing you for." The staff member leading the way spoke briefly but meaningfully as he confirmed her initial guess.
"To be honest, you might not be very suitable for this job. We are a 100-point system, and you only scored 61 points… If we let you take office, it might be quite dangerous." The other party found a way to express himself in a decisive and quick manner, and the sound of footsteps coming out revealed an equally agile temperament. "Please come this way, our leader will discuss the details with you."
At the same time, Xie Wei, who left a few minutes earlier than Wang Xiaowu, followed the staff out of the apartment building's courtyard and into the ancient courtyard with red walls and blue tiles.
Before entering a small conference room, he heard a discontented argument coming from next door. The voice was not unfamiliar to him, it was Zhou Wen's voice.
He couldn't help but prick up his ears to listen carefully. The staff saw his curiosity and didn't hide it: "That's Mr. Zhou over there, the one who discovered the 'concealment escape method' yesterday. Actually, he was supposed to be eliminated yesterday, but he wasn't convinced and refused to leave. Later, he came out to Mr. Wu Island and was very decisive and went home early."
Xie Wei became more curious and asked, "The computer really can't be taken out of the study, right? Was he eliminated because of this?"
"Let's just say it." The staff smiled, "Our original rule was that if the computer was taken out of the study, we would eliminate it, but he had just started operating beyond our expectations, so we urgently discussed it and came to the conclusion that if he could really make perfect use of this rule, then there was no need to eliminate him, and we could even add points."
Ta Duy was surprised: "Then why is it still being eliminated? What is the problem?"
The staff said: "It was when he received the lunch box, he thought of pushing the computer back to the study room first - this was also a prudent thought, but in reality, when he operated it, his hand couldn't help but leave the master bedroom. It was equivalent to that moment when he entered the study room, there was no computer, and part of his body had left the safe zone."
"This kind of method, if in the true Rule Realm, would be enough to make him instantly lose his life."
"Our scoring standard is, as soon as a fatal operation occurs, the score will immediately return to 0 and the elimination will be eliminated."
Ta Duy was stunned: "Then why is he in the group? Is it him who caused trouble, or are you the ones who arranged it?"
The staff member sneered: "After he came out, the mobile phone was in our hands. What a pity, Mr. Wu stepped on our next trap."
There was no difference in the operation, there was no difference in the moment the door order arm left the master bedroom's range. Xie Wei immediately felt that being eliminated was a bit of a pity, but thinking back, it made sense.
Not having enough brain power in the Rule Realm is very dangerous, being easily carried away by the rhythm is also dangerous.
.
Song Yingying's score is 79, which is slightly worse than Xie Wei's score, but it is still a real enough score.
The person who led her to talk was the second team captain Zeng Dapeng. Along the way, his eyes seemed to be looking at gold, while in his heart he was calculating how to fight with the four teams to capture Xie Wei.
It's not that he's greedy, it's just that their two teams are too miserable. After a week of consecutive losses due to three Rule Realm forces, and not recruiting new people, he had to become a mixed-up light stick commander!
Zeng Dapeng had already thought of a path in his mind. After entering the 17th courtyard, he found an empty office space and brought Song Yingying in to talk. Just as he was about to use rich treatment as an enticement, a team member pushed the door open and walked in.
Zeng Dapeng frowned in dissatisfaction, wanting to let the person go out, saying that he would talk about it later, but the team member still walked to his side, bent down and whispered a few words.
"Ah?" Zeng Dapeng heard and didn't understand, "What do you mean... The person was found by the three teams, did you tell Xiao Leng?"
"Yes, you don't know how Captain Xiao was so mean to Captain Han yesterday. His temper is not good at all when he comes up… I want to invite someone, you go invite them, but I won't do it!" The team member finished speaking and turned around to leave, indifferent, cold, completely indifferent to the feelings of battle.
Zeng Dapeng looked at Song Yingying, feeling a bit embarrassed, he scratched his head in embarrassment: "You wait a moment, I have some urgent matters to take care of..."
Song Yingying didn't mind: "It doesn't matter, you guys hurry first, no need to interfere with me!"
Zeng Dapeng strode out, pushed the door open, crossed half the courtyard, knocked loudly on the door of another office, and without waiting for a response from inside, directly pushed the door open and entered the room.
Xiao Leng was touching fish in front of his desk, still with that long-legged figure casually slapping the table, holding a cell phone in his hand. Zeng Dapeng walked in front of him and heard the voice coming from the cell phone: "Pay attention, this man is called little marshal, he..."
"Cough." Zeng Dapeng said in a clear voice, "The strange talk is over, why don't you go entertain them?"
"Ah." Xiao Leng continued to watch his movie explanation with great concentration, not even lifting his eyelids a bit, "Fuck. You said before that I would be the team member and I would do the job myself, now you're carrying me to do the assessment, you still want to give me more work?"
"... I'm not giving you more work." Zeng Dapeng didn't dare to argue with him, there was a hint of flattery in his voice, he walked forward two steps, saw a bag of butter cream puffs on his table, and wanted to reach out and touch one.
The hand had just touched the paper bag beside it when it was slapped away.
"Go away from my snack!" Tieu Lanh glared at him fiercely, then took out an ice cream puff and ate it himself.
"..." Zeng Da Peng was speechless, "You are a big shot, you still protect food!"
Tieu Lanh did not say a word, just looked at him indifferently, while continuing to eat himself.
He ate the ice cream with very elegant movements, not only did he not spread the cream evenly, but he also did not let the skin fall down.
But it is, really infuriating.
Zeng Dapeng took two deep breaths to suppress his anger, and patiently continued to talk about important matters: "The other side's imitation talk has ended, but the Miss Gu you invited is not coming out."
"Ah?" Tieu Lanh was so surprised that his eyes widened, "Dead?"
"... You motherfucker!" Zeng Dapeng pushed him on the shoulder, angrily saying, "Not dead! But I... I also don't know what the situation is, she just won't come out."
"I heard that at 5 o'clock she sat in the bedroom without moving, then seemed to feel bored and turned around in the room twice."
"Then just now... She ordered another lunch box." Zeng Da Peng simply recounted the past, slowly revealing a look of confusion, "You say, what did she do?"
"Shhh." Xiao Leng chuckled and faced Zeng Dapeng. Zeng Dapeng looked at him with disdain, thinking that he was about to say an answer that would make people suddenly realize, his thin lips opened slightly, and he spat out five words, "How would I know."
Zeng Da Peng: "..." You can live until now thanks to your colleagues' tolerance.
Then he advised: "Then you actually go see! At least you brought the interviewer, you take care of it!"
"You wait." Tieu Lanh raised his hand to interrupt Zeng Da Bang.
Zeng Dapeng closed his mouth and stared at him. He slightly moved the corner of his mouth and softly made a sound. He lowered his eyes and put away the explanation that he had not seen in the movie. He raised his head and continued, "I have made it clear that she is not an interviewer. I did not mention the interview with her. It was Han Yuan and I who could not get through it and caused me trouble."
"..." Zeng Dapeng felt like his entire throat was not listening and it took him three seconds to say again, "Han Yuan couldn't get past his younger brother's bottom line, I know you have feelings, but..."
"No, I'm not emotional." Xiao Leng stood up, put the phone in his windbreaker pocket, and walked out, "I'm just telling the truth."
Zeng Dapeng choked: "... Then where are you going?"
"I'll go and take a look at the strange talk." Xiao Leng stopped at his feet and turned to look at him, "Are you a goldfish?"
—— Zeng Dapeng heard that he was willing to go and breathed a sigh of relief. Although he didn't understand what "Are you a goldfish" meant, he didn't ask any further.
It was not until Song Yingying finished speaking that he reacted. Xiao Leng seemed to be mocking him for only having 7 seconds of memory.
Fuck it.
.
30 minutes later, Duong Ca hurriedly walked into the 17th courtyard, and met Tieu Lanh coming out, she quickly stopped: "What's the matter?" She looked at Tieu Lanh in confusion.
Tieu Lanh did not stop: "Go, go back to the dormitory."
He said the "dormitory" was located behind the 17th courtyard, in order to facilitate the big guys to handle urgent tasks, the 17th courtyard rented out the entire building and used it as a workers' dormitory.
At the same time, this place is also the "Imitating Strange Talk" location.
Yang Ge, who was on leave today, had just come back from there. Xiao Leng called and said there was an urgent matter, but he didn't say anything else. Yang Ge had thought up twenty thousand types of frightening emergencies in his head, and didn't dare delay for a second before leaving.
As a result, when she ran over, Tieu Lanh said she had to go back to the dorm???
"Then why didn't you come directly to the dorm to find me?!" Duong Ca glared at him.
"I'm jealous of you taking a leave!" Xiao Leng slowly spoke, logically making Yang Ge want to drag him along two or three routes, to a nearby famous scenic spot, and hang him under that crooked tree at the foot of the mountain to die.
But after going through the self-brainwashing of "Want to maintain good colleague relationships", Yang Ge endured it, forced a swallow, and asked again: "What are you going to the dorm for?!"
At this time, Tieu Lanh restrained his smile a bit: "The imitation talk is over, you go see Miss Co."
Duong Ca: "... Why don't you go yourself?"
"She knows nothing about this matter, and no one has discussed an 'interview' with her, and yet she was suddenly locked up inside for three days." Xiao Leng slightly moved the corner of his mouth, looked at Yang Ge, and said word by word, "If I encountered this kind of thing, I would definitely hit someone."
"..." Yang Ge thought about it for a bit, his face darkened, "So you want to push me forward to admit this kind of anger coming from the people?"
Tieu Lanh: "No, I just feel that if the other party sees that you are a girl, they will be a bit embarrassed to attack."
Duong Ca: "..."
Is there a possibility that when the other party sees you, a 190+ tall man, they won't dare to attack?
Eight minutes of walking, Yang Ca was filled with resentment, Xiao Leng's mentality was steady, he didn't understand anything.
When they entered the apartment building, the scoring team tacitly sent Ye Xi's score to Yang Ge's mobile phone via WeChat.
At the same time, he said to Xiao Leng: "704th surveillance room is still empty. If anything unexpected happens, you can ask for help at any time."
Yang Ge's vacation was disrupted, he was too lazy to recover, his thumb moved on the document screen, opening the scoring table.
Because the content of the job is extremely special, the 17 academy interviews are scored extremely meticulously, from logical thinking to improvisation ability, to moral feelings, and personality are all graded. Xiao Leng yesterday saw the earliest eliminated candidate in this round of interviews, Zhou Di, who was directly deducted 30 points from his score, and after encountering a crisis, he completely did not expect to inform his teammates that his improvisation ability was lacking, and also deducted 20 points.
However, these points are not very important to Zhou Di, because if she triggers a death level danger, the points will be directly cleared.
But Co Trieu...
Duong Ca directly pulled the score sheet to the bottom to see the total score.
98 (? ).
Even though she had already passed through four strange rules, seeing this point, she couldn't help but have a frozen gaze, clearly inhaling a breath of cold air.
This point means that she almost didn't make any mistakes in the entire imitation of the strange talk. The only point deducted is that she used the name "Gu Dynasty" before in the Rule Realm, and is still using this name now. Regardless of whether the name is real or fake, there are dangers, so two points are deducted.
But this is a really easy fix to the problem.
As for the "(?)" at the back, it was clearly because she didn't leave after the weird conversation ended, causing the group to be suspicious.
.
When Yang Ge opened the door and entered the house, Ye Xi was eating and had just ordered fried chicken.
The Rules of the Realm provided a mobile lunch box software, and it was also free, which meant she didn't need to spend money herself. She therefore very generously ordered two portions of honey mustard Korean fried chicken, one portion of medium wings, one portion of boneless chicken thigh, also ordered one portion of rice cakes, one portion of fried chicken thigh mushrooms, and two jars of iced sugar-free Coca-Cola. After opening it, more than half of the coffee table was filled with the unhealthy but happy smell of fried food.
Hearing the door open, she turned her head to look at the door, then expressionlessly let go of the half-eaten wing in her hand, dusted it off, hugged her arm and leaned against the back of the sofa, and coldly spat out two words: "Welcome."
"..." Yang Ge brainstormed several projects on the way, but this kind of atmosphere was not within the scope of her brainstorming.
In a short period of time, she had a kind of illusion of communicating with Tieu Lanh.
She could only put on an extremely formalized polite smile, sat on the sofa at the coffee table, and with a kind of flirtatious attitude, picked up a fried chicken skewer that came with the complimentary side dish, wanting to poke a piece of king oyster mushroom.
Diep Tich indifferently pulled out the box of king oyster mushrooms ——what kind of person? Not even close, yet wanting to eat other people's snacks when meeting?
Duong Ca reached out and said: Oh, wow, we are all familiar with this food protection habit!
"Cough." Yang Ge resentfully put down the bamboo skewer, his body leaning forward, his elbows resting on his knees, his fingers intertwined, "Miss Gu asked first, or should I ask first?"
Diep Tich frowned a bit: "Please."
Yin and Yang strange energy.
Damn it, it's the same effect as Tieu Lanh...
Yang Ge tried hard not to pay attention to this kind of resentment, forced a smile, and handled public affairs according to public law: "The Rules of the Realm ends at 17:00, why hasn't Miss Gu left yet?"
Diep Tich tilted his head slightly, looked at him, and read each word clearly: "Very simple, I just want to know who is playing a prank."
Duong Ca: "Is it impossible to know after going out?"
"In theory, it should be possible." Ye Xi paused, "But if there is an accident——if it really is just a 'prank', then there is a possibility that there is no beginning or end. If I go out and don't see anyone come to explain to me, I can only go home."
Of course, this kind of possibility is extremely low, but her not leaving is obviously more insurance.
She stayed here, occupying the other party's place, no matter what the other party was thinking, he had no choice but to come in and see her.
Duong Ca continued to ask: "What is it that makes Miss Co suspect that this time the Rule of Law Realm is not real?"
"There are many suspicious points." Ye Xi said with a lowered shoulder, "For example, the Rules of the Realm separated our floors, each floor only has one person. Actually, under the rules, we cannot go out before the door, such an arrangement is not necessary. I guess you guys are afraid that if everyone puts themselves on the same floor, in order to avoid danger suddenly appearing, they will cut off their turn to observe the situation on the porch? If that is the case, the actor playing the role of a monster lunch box will definitely be exposed?"
"..." Duong Ca didn't know what expression to make.
Was about to talk, the mobile vibrated a little.
She picked up her cell phone and sent a message to the team leader: "Interviewee Gu Chao, currently has a score of 108 points, Vice Team Leader Yang, you can talk to her about the same treatment."
Duong Ca calmly turned the phone screen to black, his eyes intentionally or unintentionally scanned the place where the TV was hidden with surveillance cameras.
Ye Xi continued to say: "There is also the rule of '0:00-8:00 do not leave the master bedroom', we also did indeed hear terrifying sounds coming from the master bedroom late at night. But this kind of sound is too direct, no matter who hears it, they will be so scared that they will directly hide in the absolutely safe master bedroom and not go out, unable to go out to check, this kind of operation if 'he' did it to kill people, there would be no gain."
When he heard about the monster scratching the door, Diep Tich was also very scared, but the next day when he woke up, the more he thought about it, the more it seemed wrong.
The master bedroom is absolutely safe, as long as they don't leave, the monster can't enter. If they really want to kill someone, the normal operation should be to find a way to attract everyone to come out during this time - for example, say setting a fire, eight or nine times out of ten, someone will run out.
"So I feel, those terrifying effects are actually just a trick to cover the eyes, so the real purpose of the arrangement is to spread the blanket next step - to move the whole body to the study room, make a painting appear in the living room, to observe our reaction."
Yang Ge's mobile phone shook again, she looked down, on the screen the reminder banner was still the team leader's score message: "Give her a score of +10, Vice Team Leader Yang, please keep her!"
Ye Xi: "So I observed the living room wall and the floor along the wall of the study, as well as the place where the painting was missing. Although you guys were very careful, there were still very small traces of glue left on the wall. It must be some kind of new material, right? There were also very light scratches on the floor of the study. The wooden floor was very old. If you move the furniture a little carelessly, it would leave this kind of mark."
"These traces are too vivid, I can't say 'he' definitely wouldn't have made them, but there's absolutely no need. If you can use supernatural powers to make the painting stay in the living room for more than half the night, would you deliberately make it sticky? This is completely illogical..."
The phone vibrated for the third time. Yang Ge saw the new message: "Give her a score of +10. Keep her. The money issue is negotiable. I can help you ask the higher-ups."
Diep Tich: "Also, why is the bedroom absolutely safe, but if you see the full-body mirror in the study, the painting in the living room, and you still have to go into the bathroom and open the water source? There are many of these things."
"However, if you change your mind, thinking about it, if the water source is turned on, there will be a lot of noise. Adding a bathroom door can also increase the soundproofing effect. It can just cover up your people and restore the outside to its original state, then it will be completely clear."
The bullet gave the team leader points: "+10! Save her! If you can't save her, I will immediately send the news to the other teams and let them snatch her away!"
... Dream!
Yang Ge hung up the phone fiercely and quickly stood up decisively: "I have no problem. Please come with me to number 17, we will talk, if you have any questions, you can directly ask our captain, it is the Xiao Leng you met at the shopping mall before."
17 lines
Diep Tich finally heard this place name again.
In fact, when she first suspected that this match was a human-made arrangement, the first thing she thought of was number 17. But because the other participants had completely not mentioned number 17, and what everyone was doing before entering the strange discussion had nothing to do with number 17, she couldn't figure it out.
At present it seems, it is still exactly 17.
That's fine too, as long as the other party really brought her into the "Changxing Street 17" yard, it means that all of this at least isn't some strange organization with unknown purposes doing something.:,,.
