Chapter 1286 Two people save one
Commission tasks, from the very beginning, are definitely not tasks where you can survive by earning gold coins from one project after another.
Since it surfaced, the real core of this mission still revolves around the "ghost".
It's just that the ghost's shadow shrouded the entire Orange Lake, making its surface look extremely large and trivial.
Fang Shenyan had already smelled his scent before the mission started, and made it clear that he was avoiding her.
This also gave it its attributes from the beginning - macroscopic and mysterious.
If you regard the entire mission as a ghost, then there will be a collision between the road of death and the road of life. From then on, you will unearth the clue of the starting point of the man in the suit.
He claims to represent "official rules", but in fact he makes "selfish" actions all the time.
It is the breakthrough in everything and the only way to survive for the clerks.
From the perspective of Orange Lake Castle, Ji Li could not really see through its identity, but his perfect control of the rules was enough for him to realize the direction of implementation.
From the perspective of the horror house, Fang Shenyan has successfully brought the man in the suit into the outside of Orange Lake.
This mission broke all previous conventions. Tianhai actually designed a "hidden ghost" to serve as a way out for the clerks, which was really amazing.
There are two types of rules.
Li Yi once asked Ji Li, how can we get rid of the ending of dying together?
The reason why he asked this was actually due to his poor and negative attitude towards the task.
If he could go as deep into the mission as Ji Li did, it would not be difficult to realize a deeply hidden blind spot - "Settling punishment is the rule of the man in the suit, not the Tianhai mission."
Tianhai sent four emails during the commission task, related to three things:
"First, the commission task is started;
Second, a special project on the living dead case was launched.
Third, the Orange Lake Castle project was launched. ”
The first thing is to start the overall task and kick off the joint task of the most branches;
The second and third emails opened the core chapter of "Orange Lake Castle" with the Living Dead Project.
The fourth email brings out his existence.
After all, the implementation of Tianhai's rules in this mission is almost zero.
All the remaining known rules are just the rules of the man in the suit.
But this ghost is actually fighting against the store clerk on the surface, but actually fighting against the underlying ghost.
And its two parts, the pupils and the whites of the eyes, will never be complete again.
With the help of Huangfu Jiajia's bracelet of circulation, he killed all the clerks under the premise that they were destined to fail. This idea was about to come to nothing.
Because he simply can't get past Ji Li.
Punishment according to the rules can only be regarded as a half-way to survive, ensuring that Ji Li does not die and getting rid of the first eye.
The appearance of the second eye only meets the conditions in the second half of the journey of survival - the devourer ghost and the man in the suit merge together.
When it cannot be guaranteed to be intact, this hidden swallowing ghost is undoubtedly the strongest ghost in Orange Lake, and it has the unique attribute of attacking it first.
Ji Li made the right bet.
It's not so much a gamble as it is a tacit understanding built up through countless hours and tasks.
He firmly believed that Fang Shenyan's personality, ability, and methods were enough to solve the problem of the other half's pupils, and at the same time, it also provided unwavering support for his actions on his side.
The sky had been gloomy all night, the lightning and thunder were many times faster than before, and the night seemed to be torn to pieces.
The sky in Orange Lake was crumbling, and the eyeballs that had fallen long ago could no longer emit any light.
In the Milk Tea Cup Lounge, Ji Li saw with his own eyes that the man in a suit turned into a burst of black smoke in front of him, drifting into the distance outside the window.
Finally, at the end of the sky, a lanky ghost holding a prayer wheel and wearing a gray bamboo hat appeared, accompanied by the crisp sound of copper bells, which shocked the crowd.
"Woooooooooooo..."
The wind is mixed with Sanskrit sounds, and the chants are all the wails of lonely ghosts. The gray particles in the sky are blowing up wind dust and slowly pushing forward.
This process is slow but firm, with a trembling sense of oppression wherever it goes.
Even though Ji Li was far away, his hands and feet felt cold and his blood was flowing backwards, but his ghostly heart was beating as usual.
His left eye was flowing with hot blood, flowing down his snow-white neck to the ground, and he turned his head stiffly.
Ghosts and ghosts are destined to die.
Perhaps, this is the reason why Devouring Ghost finally chose the ghost form. "Huh..."
The golden sound of the prayer tube and the chanting Sanskrit sounds spread for hundreds of miles.
A clear wave emerged from the horizon, shattering the dark clouds that had covered the night, revealing the traceless starry sky that should have been there.
At 21:50:59 seconds, it was all over.
This unprecedented large-scale mission, which gathered 39 people from ten major branches, has come to an end.
22.00, has arrived.
He disappeared, and so did the ghost, but the man in the suit returned to his lazy look and sat back on the chair, looking at Ji Li with interest.
All the lightning and thunder have stopped, the sky has returned to its original color, and the Orange Lake is deserted because it is now closed.
A detail worth recalling is that in Tianhai’s fourth email, there is a sentence:
"For those who come out of Orange Lake Castle alive, regardless of the number of gold coins, the branch where they are located will not be affected by the final settlement."
Ji Li was obviously the one who walked out of the fort alive. Logically speaking, he should not be affected by the settlement punishment.
But at 21:59:59:59, he became the subject of punishment.
But at ten o'clock in the evening, Ji Li did not leave immediately. He stood in front of the man in the suit, and the rule in Tianhai's email came into effect.
Perhaps, this is a small thing that should make people think deeply after this mission is over.
Ji Li's eyes were looking outside the door at this moment. The girl who should have died in his impression was slowly getting up on the ground at this moment.
Huangfu Jiajia had a confused look on her face as she examined the surrounding environment. After raising her wrist to look at the time, she showed fear.
Ji Li seemed to understand something and nodded thoughtfully, then disappeared into Orange Lake and left the mission.
……
Some people and some things came to an end. The four-hour commission mission ended completely at ten o'clock in the evening.
But some people and some things are still not over.
Just when Ji Li, Fang Shenyan, Huang Banxian, Hou Guisheng and others had left the mission on time and returned to the store.
Two people were left in Orange Lake, their right to return temporarily frozen.
The first person is called Li Guanqi, and the second person is called Huangfu Jiajia.
Huangfu Jiajia, who was confused and confused, stood at the door of the Milk Tea Cup Lounge. All memories of her in her mind had been lost.
The scene before she lost her memory was when Li Mochou was burned to ashes in front of her eyes, crying for help.
Beside her, Li Guanqi, who had lost an arm and suffered multiple fractures on his body, stood at the door of the lounge with a pale face, looked up at the stars, and let out a long sigh.
Through the glass, they could see the man in a suit standing up on the chair, walking to the door step by step, looking at the two of them with a joking expression.
Huangfu Jiajia of the eighth branch and Li Guanqi of the fifth branch, this pair of store managers, all the clerks except themselves are dead.
Time 22:01.
The man in the suit showed his clenched hands with the backs of his hands facing up, looked at the two of them, and said with a smile:
"Li Guanqi, Huangfu Jiajia.
The two store managers currently have 13 gold coins, and they are tied for last place.
Although the mission time has passed, I am true to my word, and the punishment after settlement cannot be avoided.
Now, there is a gold coin hidden in one of my two hands. Whoever can guess which hand it is in can avoid punishment.
Of course, if you both guess wrong, then I will kill two of you. I will kill at least one of you two. ”
Li Guanqi was silent when he heard this. He had expected this result and knew his fate from the beginning.
However, in the end, it was a small gold coin that determined life and death.
But when Huangfu Jiajia heard the result, she was panicked and shouted:
"I came out of Orange Lake Castle alive. I already have the right not to be affected by the settlement. Why..."
The man in the suit suddenly interrupted with a sneer, looked at her with meaningful eyes, and said disdainfully:
"Manager Huangfu, do you dare to say that you walked out of Orange Lake Castle alive?
You only used Li Mochou's life to get out of the third reincarnation.
The reason why you can stand in front of me now is because he treated you as a walking zombie and brought you out in advance. ”
