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

Through Tieu Lang's words, Truong Lap Binh understood that although he said "person" on the surface, in his heart he did not think the other party was an individual.

He calmed down and asked: "Is it the woman… with long hair?"

Tieu Lanh's eyes immediately turned to him: "You saw it too?"

"I... I didn't see." Zhang Liping really wanted to explain what he had just experienced, but the shock in his heart made him unable to control himself and ask in shock, "When you saw the female ghost, your first reaction was to rush forward and capture her?!"

Tieu Lang frowned, confusedly asking: "Then where is the other party? What if there is a clue?"

"...???" Zhang Liping choked, "What if you get contaminated???"

"No." Xiao Leng said in a very gentle manner, "I spent 50 points to buy [Refining Mist Spray] at the Mirror Maze props store, a one-time life-saving small prop that doesn't affect the main prop choice. As long as it's not used up, you can start using it at any time."

"... Oh." Zhang Liping nodded blankly, this seemed to be an explanation.

—— what a bullshit explanation!!!

When a normal person sees a ghost, their first reaction would be to run up and grab it???

Tieu Lanh also did not know the ups and downs of his teammates' emotions, only felt deep regret for not being able to catch the female ghost.

He therefore waited for a while in front of the shop, but without waiting for any movement, he had to sigh and step on the metal ladder to return to the shop.

He breathed a sigh of relief and closed his eyes, preparing to sleep, but Zhang Liping was already completely sleepy. He stared at the bed in high spirits and asked, "Captain Xiao, how do you do this? What do you think?"

Tieu Lang: "No."

Zhang Liping: "I feel that the old-fashioned well problem cannot be careless… If it is not done well, the female ghost will jump into the well and die, right? But that abandoned Hong Hu Tower might have important clues, why don't I take the courage to take a look?"

Tieu Lang did not respond.

Zhang Liping: "Also, the 188 girls took a photo and sent back this note saying 'It's dangerous to have only one teacher in the office at night', why is that? Could it be that all the teachers in this school are ghosts, and will show their true colors when they're alone?"

Tieu Lang still did not say anything.

Zhang Liping: "Also, rule 4 emphasizes that one cannot run after dinner. This rule itself is nothing, but if it appears in a strange chat, isn't it..."

"Sleep." Tieu Lanh finally spat out two words.

Zhang Liping: "?"

"We are in our third year of high school, sleep is precious. Let's go to sleep first, we can talk about it tomorrow." Xiao Leng's tone was calm.

Zhang Liping's feelings were complicated.

In the third level of the strange rules book, our team leader read it very enthusiastically.

Hanh, he saw that Captain Tieu was completely fearless...

.

The next day was Saturday. Because the college entrance exams were approaching, the third-year student of Duc Luong High School had been studying at school all weekend. He had to ask his parents to come forward and ask for leave because of a disagreement.

But compared to Monday to Friday, Saturday is still a little lighter.

First of all, there is no early reading, normally students have to get up at 5:30 and can sleep until 7:00 to have breakfast. Next, high school students usually have ten classes a day, not counting evening self-study, but only six on Saturdays. If any faculty teacher requests it, they will come to class, leaving the rest of the time for self-study.

So much so that the original evening "evening self-study" was directly canceled, everyone could go to the dormitory to sleep early.

So Saturday and Sunday are a day of relaxation for "NPC students", but for the participants, it is a day with plenty of time to analyze clues.

The four of them gathered in the dining hall at 7:30. Although everyone was startled the night before, they didn't make any movements afterwards. Yang Ge and Ye Xi's presence together effectively reduced their fear. Although they both had nightmares more or less after going to sleep, they were still able to sleep.

Zhang Liping's always good sleep quality at this time started to have the most important effect, after seeing ghosts for half an hour his eyes were wide open like bronze bells, then he put on his glasses and fell asleep again.

To the point that Tieu Lang...

No need to say more.

Compared to below, Hu Yijuan's six people's luck was not that good. Last night, four of the six of them had seen ghosts, but because they did not enter the ghost village from the same place, everyone was in different classes, and of course they did not sleep in the same room.

Moreover, this scenario assumes that none of their roommates are in school, and each of them is facing their fear alone.

Just like that, fear sense leveled up across the board!

So when it was time to eat breakfast, there were only two "ordinary people" on the dining table, the other four looked like panda spirits. Hu Yijuan herself was also one of them, just by peeling an egg she yawned four times in a row.

After eating a slice of food, the sixth person's deepest level Chen Donghe recovered some of his strength and forcefully lifted his spirits: "I feel that the three most important issues right now are: one is whether the mobile phone has any hidden features, two is whether there are other players in the dungeon, and three is what is hidden in the abandoned Hong Hu Tower."

The three teammates all nodded in agreement, but Hu Yiquan added, "The old-fashioned well is also very important."

"Important, but not that important." Chen Donghe slowly explained, "Because a well is not a very likely place to hide clues, so it is most likely just the tool of that female ghost's death, regardless of whether it was suicide or his murder. But if we want to clear it, we need to rule out the cause of the female ghost's death."

"That's right." Ho Y Quyen thought and nodded.

Tran Dong Hac said: "First class isn't open yet, right? Let's first find a place with no one around to check what's on their phones, then go around Hong Ho Tower and take a look."

——The rules say you can't enter Hong Hu Tower, but looking around outside doesn't matter, right?

.

8:30, Saturday first period bell for class, first two classes of third grade (1) are all math, math teacher carefully calculated and took advantage of this morning to let people wake up time period to get the best grades class lecture.

As a useless natural science student, Ye Xi felt enjoyment in a mathematics class for the first time in her life. She couldn't help but thank "him" for giving her a brain of a school bully in this dungeon.

10:10, second period math class ends, there is a big class in between, from Monday to Friday you have to do it, but Saturday has no such rule.

Later on, the two classes on the curriculum were all "Self-study", but in fact, because it was Saturday, it didn't matter if the students went around and relaxed a bit, they were just not allowed to leave the school gate.

The four people in the group therefore left the classroom after math class ended and went straight to a place where there was no one on the side of the teaching area. Xiao Leng said directly: "If you are scared, you can come to our dormitory to sleep tonight, room 416."

Diep Tich and Duong Ca were both a bit surprised.

Diep Tich: "... Shall we go to the south to sleep?"

Tieu Lanh shrugged: "Anyway, no one interrogated him, why not?"

Diep Tich realized a lot and fell into silence.

Hoa Sinh, you found a blind spot.

Duong Ca accepted it calmly: "Then why don't we go to the south bed now, let's check the phone contents together first?"

One person's mobile phone is probably just Xiao Leng's character "Human iron", all four people have it, so it can't be "He" kindly letting them have something to send away.

"I'll check it out." Zhang Liping nodded happily. Ye Xi thought for a moment, took out his own cell phone and gave it to Yang Ge: "Screen lock password 545426, you guys help me check it together, I want to go to the fighting room file."

The three teammates' expressions changed slightly. Xiao Leng paused: "Go to the records room?"

"Yes." Ye Xi guessed and nodded, "There must be many secrets in this school, but right now, a tangled spool of thread cannot be found, I feel that the general archives office will be useful."

Yang Ge did not quite agree: "Hong Hu Tower was abandoned in 1994, so the meaning of the construction time was at least before 1994. From our mobile perspective, the current time line and the real world are not much different, that is, after 2023 years ago —— 30 years of time, the archives must have a lot of things, it is very difficult to do useful work without a clue."

"Exactly." Ye Xi did not deny this point of view, but said, "But I feel that we can at least first look at what happened in 1994, and what the Hong Hu Tower was used for. If it doesn't take much time to look up these things, and if there's nothing useful, I'll immediately come back to find you guys."

"That's right..." Duong Ca did not stop him.

Diep Tich's memory told her that the records room was in the library, so she started walking towards the library, but was called back by Tieu Lanh.

Tieu Lanh told her: "You can also check if 545426 appears in the file."

Diep Tich looked over in confusion, Tieu Lanh said: "My lock screen password is also 545426, but it's not my assumption, it directly appeared in my memory."

Diep Tich could not help but take a deep breath.

She looked at Duong Ca and Truong Lap Binh with fear and doubt. Their faces also turned a little pale. They nodded and said to her: "I am also..."

"Me too."

Everyone immediately entered the password to unlock the screen as soon as they got their mobile phones, but because this copy had taught them too many memories, no one thought much about the password issue. If Ye Xi hadn't just directly said his password, causing everyone to accidentally discover this similarity, this point might have been overlooked.

But this is obviously something that should not exist. For such a personal mobile device, the probability of four people entering the password together is extremely low.

This password is not six zeros or 123456.

The four of them temporarily separated, Yang Ge, Xiao Leng, and Zhang Liping went to the boys' dormitory to check their phones. It was no surprise that this would be a huge amount of work. Not to mention, each person's mobile phone WeChat, this "little beauty software" occupied nearly 30 G's of internal storage, which meant they had a large amount of chat history to check.

After Ye Xi separated from them, she didn't go straight to the library, but went to the office to find the homeroom teacher. She was very emotional and told the homeroom teacher that she was about to graduate. She wanted to make a commemorative video about her old school. She went to the records room to check the information and asked the homeroom teacher to help her ask for some.

The homeroom teacher felt deeply grateful for this kind of student. He immediately called the records department. After hanging up, he told Ye Xi, "Let's go. The records department teacher knows."

Ye Xi thanked the homeroom teacher and headed to the library. The records room was on the third floor of the library. Ye Xi knocked on the door and told the records room teacher her class name. The records room teacher generously told her, "The student records on the shelves behind three rows cannot be moved and are personal property. The shelves in front are all school documents that can be viewed. Remember to put them back intact after viewing them. The page numbers, order, and positions cannot be messed up."

"Okay, no problem, thank you teacher." Ye Xi said as he looked around, not seeing anything he expected, he calmly asked, "May I ask if there are any specific rules for the records room here? I want to take a closer look, to avoid causing you more trouble."

The records room teacher looked at her in confusion: "Didn't you just say that?"

There are no independent discussion rules.

Ye Xi once again thanked the teacher, then walked in. The file room used this kind of high-quality rack, each floor was filled with file bags, each with the first letter of the alphabet. Ye Xi first found the "H" shelf, then spent a lot of time finding the bag that said "Hong Hu Lou".

The bag was lying horizontally in a cube, a lot of dust fell from one side. Ye Xi took it out, carefully untied the seal at the top, took out all the files inside, and placed the front bag aside, carefully flipping through the documents.

There weren't many relevant documents in Hong Hu Tower. The first few pages were construction design plans, as well as various documents requesting approval from the office. Ye Xi flipped through them hastily, his eyes stopping on a form.

This form is also a part of the approval document, the top part is written with the name of the building unit, which is Yu Liang First High School. The future building will be filled in with "Student classroom and teacher office", and later on, there will be many architectural data that Ye Xi does not understand, it will take up about two pages.

Up to the last two rows of this document, there is a line that says "Estimated arrival time".

——1992 year.

If she and Yang Ge found out that this was true in the dormitory, then it meant that this building had been abandoned in 1992 and 1994, and even if that piece of paper wasn't mentioned, it would be completely abnormal for the 1992 Luocheng teaching area to be abandoned in 2023.

This is clearly a combination of realism and fantasy, the entire school except for this crazy point, the style is very similar to a normal high school in C country.

According to national C architectural standards, the standard of public facilities is higher than that of public buildings, and public buildings are higher than that of residential buildings. Among them, "facilities" refers to airports, terminals, national stadiums, and national libraries, which are a type of property rights directly owned by the state and open to the public.

"Public buildings" refers to office buildings, shopping malls and other common public facilities; "Residential buildings" refer to townhouses and apartments that are commonly sold as apartments.

The lowest standard for "Residence" here is 70 years of property rights, and the building's lifespan must be at least 70 years.

In school, the standard construction of dormitories is "Residential buildings", while the Hong Hu Tower teaching area belongs to "Public buildings", and the life span of buildings should be much higher than the 70-year property rights of residential buildings.

Under such circumstances, a pile of 92 years old buildings, 94 years were thrown away, 23 years became "critical"?

For what?

The clues on the top were not enough to remove this suspicious point. Ye Xi remembered this suspicion and without any carelessness, collected the file and put it back on the spot. He shook it around on each shelf again and patiently turned the file after 1994 years ago between "AZ", but for the time being, there was nothing else to gain. The number "545426" also did not appear at all. Although it was strange, it could only maintain an unclear meaning for the time being.

In addition, she also professionally transcribed some language teacher's files.

"Yu Liang First High School Third Grade Student Procedures" article 2 says: The college entrance exam is coming soon, please submit your majors to the respective departments on time, especially the language majors.

There were a total of four language teachers in the entire third-year senior class, two male and two female. Ye Xi held a kind of almost scrutinizing mentality as he seriously flipped through each person's resume, but the resumes of all four people were so ordinary that they couldn't be more ordinary. They were all ordinary students, they were normally admitted to the teacher training college, then went to Yuliang First High to teach, and they couldn't even find a single point of punishment on their records.

.

Boys dormitory room 416, three people mobile phone check course, Yang Ge chose to check WeChat chat history first, very quickly was given a headache by the large but ineffective information. She therefore sat on the ground, lying on the edge of the bed for five minutes, wordlessly looking for words to tease Xiao Leng: "Captain Xiao, I'm not talking about you, you this chasing sister's ability is not good."

Tieu Lanh's mind was focused on the phone, hearing that he tried to think for a moment: "What?"

Duong Ca: "Tich Tich said to go to the records room, I thought you would go with her, but you didn't even mention it? Aren't you afraid she'll be in danger?"

"No." Xiao Leng was indifferent, "The records office is a place that student procedures do not mention at all. Even if there were independent rules, it should be safer than a messy dormitory."

"..." Duong Ca and Truong Lap Binh faced each other speechlessly.

—— this is the point?

—— you are really capable of being single!

Xiao Leng was completely clueless about the two team members' emotions. He raised his hand to activate the screen, opening the website above his head.

Not long after, Diep Tich returned. She knocked twice on the door: "It's me, Lam Tuyet."

Yang Ge walked over in his sneakers and opened the door. Ye Xi walked in and went straight to the point, saying, "Hong Hu Tower was built in 1992 and was abandoned in 1994. There must be a reason behind it."

She paused, sitting on an empty bed: "The most direct guess I can think of is that this building is a construction site. The death of that female ghost might have something to do with the quality of the building, and it might also have something to do with the construction process."

"But this is just the simplest logical deduction based on the wasted time. If all of this has nothing to do with the tofu project, then that's a completely different story."

After giving up all the clues and his own guesses, Diep Tich looked at his teammates: "Did you find anything on the phone?"

Sitting on the edge of Diep Tich's bed, Tieu Lanh straightened his waist, flipped through the photo just now, and showed it to Diep Tich.

The photo is the school's first official website news, it says the school is happy to welcome the new principal Liao Jun, the speech time is September 22, 1st day, which is also the time when the first semester just started.

The news report revealed a kind of joyful and bustling atmosphere. Diep Tich read through it quickly, quickly catching the key news.

——The news said, Liao Jun taught at Yuliang First High School from 1990 to 1994, as a language teacher.

That sentence emphasized "Language and Literature" and finally had some connection with other clues.

Yang Ge originally didn't know what Xiao Leng found on the official website. After Ye Xi finished reading, he also took a look at his phone. As soon as he saw the two words "Liao Jun", his eyes stopped. He opened his own mobile WeChat again and searched for the keyword in the chat log.

Then she held up the phone for the tycoon to see: "Look at this."

The three teammates stepped forward together. On the screen was the news sent by Hu Yijuan from class 6. The time displayed was 22 years, 9 months, 5 days.

Hu Yi Juan and "Lu Di" said: "Eating melon? Just got back to Principal Liao."

Lu Di said: "Eat, what melon?"

Ho Y Quyen: "I heard he was originally the principal at Thi Nhat Trung."

The four people all had the same information in their memories: Thi Nhat High School is a key high school in this province, every year there are top 1 university students, the top students in the province's university entrance exam for literature and physics are basically all from Thi Nhat High School.

The level of Duc Luong First High School and Thi Nhat High School is about eight blocks apart.

So the news that the "Lu Di" scribe received was also very unexpected: "Ah? Why did the principal of the First High School transfer us? This is being demoted!"

Ho Y Quyen said: "That's right, I heard that in the first semester of Thi Nhat High School, two high school girls jumped off the building. It seems like the pressure was too great..."

"The head of the family couldn't accept it and kept making a fuss at the Education Bureau. The idea was that if there was no reconciliation and no compensation, the principal would go to jail."

"But the principal seems to have a very tough background, and in the end he was punished and transferred to us."

Lu Di: "... Based on, I don't know how to evaluate."

Ho Y Quyen: "Me too."

Hu Yi Juan: "Because the pressure of college entrance exams and jumping off buildings seems to be very high, every year. But this also shows that this principal's management is very strict QAQ... I feel like my psychological ability is the same, I'm so scared!!!"

Lu Dich: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, no need to scare yourself!!!"

After that, there was no important news. Ye Xi used the fake name "Lu Di" Yang Ca and asked: "What is your relationship with Hu Yi Juan?"

Yang Ge smiled and said: "We were classmates in middle school, so we can still have a relationship in high school... However, I don't know if her current identity is really an NPC or another player."

Ye Xi nodded and said thoughtfully, "If the clues Hu Yijuan provided are true, then it is possible that this principal has always been very strict with the students—perhaps to the point of being abnormally strict. Perhaps that 'female ghost' was also a student who couldn't bear the pressure and committed suicide?"

"That's an idea." Yang Ge nodded, then suggested, "I think we can go see this Hu Yijuan first, check her mouth, and see if she has any other information she can provide?"

"...Fuck!" Zhang Liping suddenly spoke.

Diep Tich looked over without knowing the situation. He was standing against the wall, his whole body was straight, his eyes were wide open, as if he had just remembered something, or had been shocked by something.

"What's wrong?" Duong Ca asked carefully.

Truong Lap Binh did not react.

... Because he just heard a woman sniffling.

A sob appeared, followed by each sob, very soft and small, that echoed in his ear.

Zhang Liping's scalp went numb, and he suddenly took a breath of cold air.

Without waiting for him to exhale, the sobbing sound beside his ear had already disappeared.

Zhang Liping inexplicably thought that a ghost had just flown beside him. Now that the ghost felt that he had discovered it, it disappeared like a wisp of smoke.

This kind of brain tonic makes Truong Lap Binh's hair stand on end.

He was shaking so much that his teeth were chattering. Under the watchful eyes of his teammates, he paused for a moment before saying, "I just heard… a female ghost's voice again."

"It was a sniffling sound, she was crying, it sounded very miserable... There was also a feeling of pressure." Zhang Liping recalled the feeling in that very small voice, "The sound was very close to me, I definitely didn't hear wrong, but in the blink of an eye, she disappeared without a trace...":,,.
