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

You are too polite!" Yang Ge giggled, naturally a girl next door who knew how to cheer up her elders, "We have a rule, we cannot touch the people's property. You don't need to worry about us, we definitely won't starve to death!"

Originally still secretly worried about their safety, Ms. Trang was so surprised by these words that she wanted to laugh. With complicated feelings, she looked at Duong Ca, waved her hand, and walked towards the elevator: "Then I won't bother you guys. If you have anything, call me."

"Alright, you go slowly!" Duong Ca maintained a kind of happy state of watching, waiting for Ms. Trang to bend over so much that she couldn't see, she turned around, her expression immediately becoming serious.

Tieu Lanh paused, raised his hand and touched the password lock control panel.

0000.

Every time you press it, the password lock will make a "click" sound, after four tones, press the # number again, the number on the control panel will be one bright and one dark at the same time, the password lock will open.

Xiao Leng Ning shook hands, Diep Tich couldn't help but hold his breath, staring intently at the door.

What entered the eyes was the living room of the guest house, which was decorated in a modern style of pink countryside. The furniture was mainly ivory white. Not far from the door, the dining table was covered with a white and pink tablecloth. The tablecloth and dust cover on the TV were also the same set. On the wall hung several ordinary European-style decorative paintings. In the corner of the TV counter, there was a 40-centimeter tall peach-shaped vase with fake flowers that were more than half a person tall.

From the TV counter by the small walkway leading inside is the bedroom. This dormitory bedroom has only one room, fitted with a 1 meter 8 x 2 meter standard double bed.

Tieu Lanh started moving around naturally from the moment he entered the house, even knocking on the walls once, as if he understood the structure of the building.

Diep Tich couldn't help but feel nervous: "When does the Rule Realm start?"

"I don't know." Yang Ge slumped his shoulders, looked at the time on his phone, 11:47, then set a series of alarm clocks.

According to the scientific research team's request, starting from 12:00, they must send out a status confirmation message to the outside world every half hour. If they don't receive the message on time, it means they have entered the Rule Realm, and all kinds of monitoring data will immediately become even more stringent.

12:00, Duong Ca sent his first message to the outside: "Everything is normal for now."

12:30, exactly the same six words, sent the second time.

13:00, 2nd time.

13:12, leisurely to school Mao Diep Tich went to the balcony, looked out from the floor-to-ceiling window, ate and sat around watching the scenery.

Looking at her suddenly tired, the feeling of fatigue roared and came, within half a minute it developed until she could not lift her eyelids. Her mind was also suddenly swept by the feeling of faintness, she wanted to speak, but her throat was so dry that she could not make a sound.

13:30, the foreign affairs officer in charge and the team liaison staff urgently stared at their mobile phones, seeing that the time had jumped from 30 to 31, still no new news had been sent, they immediately pressed the walkie-talkie to report to their colleagues present: "We have not received any timely news. Repeat, we have not received any timely news."

1806 outside the door, a bespectacled elegant man pushed his glasses rack: "Copy all the data that took an hour and a half, return to the lab for comparison."

.

"Bang ——" the key ring made a loud noise, Xiao Leng's vision stopped on that key ring, seeing that it was a very large key ring, a hand that clearly belonged to a young woman pinched it, and inserted it into the lock of the door in front of her.

The "ca" lock was twisted around and then made a small sound. The door was opened by the woman. Xiao Leng felt himself following her in. He heard her enthusiastically introduce, "There are seven in total. There is currently one spare bedroom left. The master bedroom and another spare bedroom are both rented. The tenants are about the same age as you, so they get along very well."

A simple search of the wording suggests that he seems to be renting a house, and a co-rent.

Covered by a layer of white mist, the image was like a vague memory, a memory forcefully poured into him from the Rule Realm.

"The front room is a house, because the child is going to school and living in the city, so I rented this place out. The house you live in is relatively well decorated, compared to that kind of room that is specially prepared for rent, this price is really good." The woman simply pushed the sales a few sentences and turned away, wearing a standard small western-style uniform and a business sign showing her identity as a broker.

"If you sign the contract today and pay for a set, you can move in tomorrow. All the basic furniture is included, very convenient."

Tieu Lang also did not plan to make a response, but he still heard himself say: "Okay."

After the moving pictures of the stage faded away, Xiao Leng was once again surrounded by a mixed feeling of fatigue. After a long time, that feeling dissipated, and the fatigue that had been dragging on and peeling off the cocoon was gradually pulled out, returning a bit of his sanity.

Xiao Leng opened his eyes, and saw a white ceiling above him. He seemed to have just woken up from bed. He moved his arm slightly, but realized that the space he was in was too narrow. He had only moved slightly when his arm was blocked by something.

Because he was not completely awake yet, Tieu Lanh pushed him away without any hesitation.

"Winter".

"Ah!"

Yang Ge, who was still unconscious, was lying face down on the ground, but he instantly woke up.

Tieu Lanh heard the loud shout and sat up at the same time, Duong Ca also got up, the two looked at each other for a second, Tieu Lanh said: "Sorry."

"...Team leader?" Duong Ca got up, dusted off his clothes, and confirmed his identity.

Tieu Lang pointed below: "Yes, Duong Ca?"

Duong Ca also nodded: "That's right."

Just like they couldn't remember what their Rule Realm companions looked like outside, after entering the Rule Realm, their memories of what their acquaintances looked like in reality would also be blurry. If it wasn't for the fact that this time the Rule Realm was all family, both sides would have to press the arranged code to confirm their identities beforehand, for example, when the rules were first divided into groups at the mall, Yang Ge had said, "Six people are really good, six-six is ​​great!" Among them, "six-six is ​​great" was the code, she needed to find a suitable opportunity to say it.

Confirming their identities, the two people were surrounded by a neat and tidy environment. This was a small bedroom. The only furniture in the room was a bed, a computer desk, a wardrobe, and a shelf that could be used to place some books and miscellaneous items.

The other bed was still a single bed, only 1.2 meters wide, not enough for two adults to lie flat.

So just now, when Xiao Leng was lying straight, Yang Ge must have been lying on her side, no wonder Xiao Leng moved and she rolled down.

This kind of living environment made Yang Ge curl her lips. She had just seen the process of renting a house from the animation stage she passed by, but she had never thought that two people would rent a room with only a single bed.

... Maybe there are more than two people.

Duong Ca thought of Diep Tich, squatted down and looked under the bed, but couldn't find anyone, so he opened the wardrobe and looked, then frowned: "Diep Tich isn't here."

"There are other rooms." Tieu Lanh stood up from the edge of the bed, "Let's go meet up with the others first."

"Okay." Duong Ca nodded, turned around and walked towards the door, when he noticed an A4 paper bottle placed on the computer desk.

Is the page rule.

At the same time, both of them looked at the tool selection interface. Yang Ge quickly decided to use the tool and then went to the desktop, picked up the rules page. Xiao Leng also went over to take a look.

The top page of paper used eye-catching and bold writing almost abruptly to write: You are the mother.

Below are each detailed rule:

"1. You are the mother, the female owner of this house;

2. Mother must protect her precious son well, her precious son's room cannot have a thousand paper cranes;

3.█████ is very important item, protect well █████;

4. The midwife must do the housework well, the schedule is as follows:

6:00-6:30 make breakfast for the whole family, remember to fry at least two eggs for your precious son to ensure nutrition intake.

7:00-7:30 have dinner

8:30-11:00① wash clothes, amount of clothes, baby boy clothes remember to add soft and comfortable

② sweep the trash, spread the soil

11:00-12:00 make lunch

14:00-14:30 drink

14:30-15:30 room collection

16:30-17:30 make dinner

18:30-19:00 drink

5. Every night before going to bed, I respectfully burn incense and worship Buddha;

6. On the balcony are two small bowls, the red one is for putting food, the blue one is for putting water. The precious son's unfinished fried egg can be put in the red bowl, all the unfinished food can be put in the red bowl, but when putting food and water, you must avoid the turtle;

7. If you find the washing machine starts automatically, the water faucet opens automatically, please turn it off quietly and continue to do your own thing;

8. If you see clothes that do not belong to your mother, father, or precious son, please immediately throw them into the trash can, and use gold paper to draw as carefully as possible on these clothes, and burn them in front of the Buddhist altar;

9. The nearest turtle is not normal, beware of turtles, beware of turtles worshiping Buddha when offering objects;

10. At night, please do not go to the living room or balcony.

Duong Ca read each line and couldn't help but shiver.

Although the Rule Realm itself is a very strange place, this rule still reveals a strange feeling that they have never seen before.

Again, it was "Lighting incense and worshiping Buddha", again it was "Offering offerings", again it was eating from an incomprehensible small bowl, and on the other hand, there was also news of being wiped clean... This servant wouldn't be raising a little devil, right?!

Xiao Leng pondered for a moment, reached out and pulled out the desktop drawer, and pulled out the keyboard. Seeing that there was nothing there, he turned around and opened the wardrobe, checked every single box, and finally looked at all the shelves.

No other rules found.

Xiao Leng made his initial judgment: "We are 'mothers', so the two of us are equivalent to one person."

Duong Ca nodded thoughtfully: "If this room only has 'mother' sleeping, then it's not strange to have only a single bed."

"Where are the others? Are they all here?" Someone shouted from outside. Xiao Leng heard the sound and walked towards the door. He pushed the door open and walked out just as the other party was four steps away from leaving the door.

The two looked at each other and made a judgment based on each other's temperament: "Team Leader?"

"Captain Truong."

As a team leader, Truong Chieu, standing next to him was a very handsome male student, at first glance still looked like a student.

Truong Chieu introduced: "This is Tran Dang Vu, our new outsider. Medical science teaches people to be lucky."

Again said to Tran Dang Vu: "This is team captain Tieu Lanh, this is vice team captain Duong Ca... Who you can't remember their faces right now, go outside and you can recognize them again."

"Hello." Tieu Lanh and Duong Ca shook hands with each other in a friendly manner. Following a sound, another door not far behind Tran Dang Vu also opened.

A man and a woman walked out of that bedroom. Yang Ge's eyes stopped on the girl and he said in disbelief, "Ye Xi?"

The other party raised his eyebrows: "Cao Di."

The two people were the captain of the sixth team, Cao Di, and team member Cui Zhe. The former was dispatched from the city's major crime squad. They had run through two murder scenes in the sandstorm, and it was no surprise that both of them had become unlucky.

At this moment, Duong Ca was really stupid: "Damn, where is our Diep Tich?!"

On the other hand, the two teams were also a bit stunned. Zhang Zhao and Cao Di looked at each other and, without prior agreement, led their team members to turn around and search together.

The seven auditoriums were no more than 120 square meters, and the layout was simple. Apart from the living room and bedroom, there was only a bathroom, a kitchen, and a balcony. It didn't take long to search downstairs, but the problem was that there was absolutely no sign of the seventh person.

Once again gathered in the living room, several individuals were gasping for breath.

Cao Di asked Duong Ca and Tieu Lanh with a shocked expression: "When will you wake up?"

Duong Ca: "... Just now."

"We are also..." Cao Di said.

Zhang Zhao frowned: "Then, why don't we start killing first? Can you kill me first and bring our 188 soldiers back?"

Tieu Lang was still very calm, calm to the point of looking a bit indifferent, shaking his head and saying: "It doesn't make sense to kill one person first, maybe we need to go through a certain round before she can enter."

Although it is just a baseless speculation, it is still very reassuring at this time.

Duong Ca gathered his breath and held the rule in his hand: "This is what we just did..."

Tieu Lanh blocked her hand.

"Do you all understand the rules?" Xiao Leng looked at the other four people, "We are the 'mothers'."

Truong Chieu teased: "Hey, we are 'daddy'."

Cao Di said: "We are 'sons'."

"Different statuses, the rules of the big guys should be different." Xiao Leng said while combing his thoughts, "Up until now, we have never experienced this kind of strange talk. Moreover, judging from the information leaked from our rules, there are many trivial matters of strange talk, and the time should be relatively long. From the outside, it only seems to have passed a day, but in reality, the time we have experienced it could very well have been more than a day."

"Therefore, I suggest that we do not share information at first, and follow each person's rule one day in advance."

Truong Chieu frowned: "Why?"

Xiao Leng calmly explained: "Because if according to the normal situation, the people who enter this Rule Realm group should not know each other, without enough trust they will not directly share information, they can only feel each other. There are some detailed rules that will probably be shown in it, and if too much 'know yourself', everyone's sensitivity and vigilance will relax, they will probably overlook some things, and it is very possible that they will suffer from the problem's perspective."

"... That makes sense." Zhang Zhao scratched his head and nodded, "That's good, we can't just keep doing things one by one, set a time, when will we get the news?"

"24 hours later." Xiao Leng raised his hand to look at his watch, "It's 5:57 now. So tomorrow morning at 6:00, we'll have a meeting."

"Okay." Zhang Zhao happily agreed, and several other team members also nodded. Everyone temporarily returned to their rooms, and Yang Ge held the rules and said, "Let's go make breakfast for the whole family… What do you think?"

Finally, the guilty expression explained everything. Xiao Leng frowned, turned around, and walked out the door again, heading towards the kitchen.

The refrigerator was placed in the kitchen, right at the entrance, opposite the door, 1 meter away. Xiao Leng opened the refrigerator and looked around. There were plenty of cooking ingredients inside, including bread, various sauces, several types of vegetables, meat, and of course, there were also specialized rules for eggs.

Tieu Lanh picked out some cooking ingredients, went to the gas stove, and skillfully lit the fire.

After about twenty minutes, the aroma of the food had filled the living room. The chef, who was sitting at the side of the table, Yang Ge saw that Xiao Leng had already started to place the dishes on the dining table. He immediately started to act like a real character: "The food is done! Husband! Daughter! Let's eat!"

"..." The others silently stiffened a bit. Zhang Zhao casually sat down at the table first, his eyes roughly and simply swept across the table. Although it was simple, the breakfast was full of color and flavor. He rubbed his hands together in surprise: "Oh my, Captain Xiao is truly a worthy male mother."

Xiao Leng, who was carrying a tray of omelette wrappers, was walking towards the dining table with his veins throbbing. The tray of food was placed in front of Zhang Zhao, but Zhang Zhao didn't notice and smiled foolishly: "Hehe, I pushed!"

"Wait a minute."

Zhang Zhao stretched out his chopsticks towards the omelette wrapper but was indifferently stopped by Xiao Leng. He picked up a pair of clean wooden chopsticks and picked up two omelette wrappers towards Cao Di and Cui Zhe's tray.

At first glance, the originally bustling omelette tray was immediately half empty, leaving only four eggs. Xiao Leng put down his chopsticks: "One for each person."

Truong Chieu: "?"

"Based on what?" He looked at Cao Di and Cui Zhe each had two eggs, looked at the remaining ones, and finally stared at Xiao Leng, "Why are you still treating them differently?"

"The rule requires." Mentioning a specific rule, Xiao Leng did not hide it, "'Mother's' rule says, every day must give the precious son at least two eggs to fry, not sure if it is only two in total, or if the 'son' character plays two each. But if it is 'at least', a total of four must be insurance."

After saying the last words, he paused for a moment, then said: "'He' also doesn't seem to want to use this rule to make things difficult for us."

"Where are we?!" Cao Di and Cui Zhe became nervous, looked at each other, and held their breath, "Our rules absolutely do not mention fried eggs... Is it better to finish eating or not finish eating?"

"You are a mother" rule number six: "On the balcony there are two small bowls, the red one is for putting food, the blue one is for putting water. The precious son's unfinished fried egg can be put in the red bowl, all the unfinished food can be put in the red bowl, but when putting food and water, you must avoid the father."

Tieu Lanh based on his own rules speculated a bit: "All are possible."

Said very briefly, without mentioning any detailed rules.

If they didn't know that everyone was from the 17th, Cao Di and Cui Zhe would have doubted Xiao Leng's intentions. But the trust of their comrades made them unconditionally believe Xiao Leng's explanation. For a moment, they couldn't imagine that there were any other problems, so they finished their breakfast with peace of mind.

The strange atmosphere caused this rich man to eat breakfast in unusual silence. During the entire meal, no one spoke, only the occasional sound of the tableware colliding rang out.

After about half an hour, everyone put down their chopsticks one by one. Only then did people gradually come back to their senses, and they realized that the silence just now was almost oppressive.

Zhang Zhao coughed: "Mother Xiao's cooking is not bad, the food is really delicious... But tomorrow can you also fry me an extra egg?"

Tieu Lanh's face darkened a bit: "Okay."

"Thank you, thank you!" Truong Chieu finished speaking and stood up, his finger tapped Tran Dang Vu's shoulder, signaling him to go back to the room together.

Tran Dang Vu was a boy who was educated by his parents since he was young to have life in his eyes and to take the initiative to help with housework. Right now, looking at the kitchen utensils all over the table, he felt very guilty and wanted to explain: "Sorry, we..."

"Leave." Truong Chieu deliberately interrupted him. Tran Dang Vu was stunned, but quickly reacted. He didn't say much and hurriedly followed Truong Chieu back to the master bedroom.

.

Because Xiao Leng was fully responsible for cooking, Yang Ge consciously took over the task of washing the dishes. She turned on the faucet, and clean water flowed out. Xiao Leng leaned against the island with his arms crossed, pondering over what Chen Dengwu had just said when he was interrupted by Zhang Zhao.

Although it was not his intention to directly share the entire news, he could not help but analyze when he saw others wanting to say something but stopping.

But this doesn't matter, because assuming the people in the chat don't know each other, there will also be the same process.

The two of them returned to the master bedroom, and Zhang Zhao immediately closed the door. Chen Dengyu, the outside agent, was participating in a mission for the first time. Being interrupted just now made him a little nervous, and he asked uneasily, "Should I not mention it?"

Truong Chieu calmly shook his head: "It's better not to say, but it's nothing."

According to his usual thinking, the participants in a strange conversation are all strangers, and there will often be situations where someone, out of politeness, wants to explain but is interrupted by a teammate.

Xiao Leng didn't want to be a big shot from the start, he just followed the usual method to push the strange talk a bit, as long as the behavior is not out of the ordinary then there is no problem.

The main bedroom of the "Ba Ba" is a very large house, the size of the bed in the room looks to be 2 meters plus 2 meters 2. Not counting the special institutional situation, this is almost the largest size that can be bought in the furniture city.

Moreover, this is obviously a double bed.

Zhang Zhao sat on the edge of the bed, pinching the A4 paper in his hand, and said thoughtfully: "There is a situation that is clearly not in accordance with the usual practice, which is that this family's 'father and mother' have separate beds, but the reason is still unclear."

They have 10 rules, the top one is written in big black letters "You are a father".

The back side contains the following content:

"1. You are a turtle, you are a family head, you have the power to speak, you should also have the power to speak;

2. Turtles do not do housework;

3. Dad doesn't like night, at least past 11pm, Dad will definitely go to bed;

4. Dad likes his precious son the most;

5. Dad must protect his precious son well, his precious son's room cannot have a thousand paper cranes;

6. Every morning, I want to worship Buddha and burn incense. When I am still alive, I will offer a talisman in front of Buddha and burn it together.

7. If something strange happens in the house, the father will immediately go to the Buddhist altar and burn a talisman;

8. The father hates the two small bowls on the balcony. If he sees food or drink appear in the two small bowls, the father wants to promptly throw them away;

9. The recent old lady is not normal, even touching the turtle's hands, beware of the old lady, beware of the old lady worshiping Buddha when offering things;

10. At night, please do not go to the living room or balcony.

Tran Dang Vu sat beside Truong Chieu, his finger lightly pointed at the ninth point: "Isn't it because of domestic violence?" Then he noticed the word "abnormal", and continued to analyze, "Could it also be because of depression, constipation, schizophrenia? In short, it's because the 'mother' is not fit, and also touched her hands."

Zhang Zhao was silent for a long while, then he came up with an idea: "Then what if the 'mother's' rules have the same content?":,,.
