Building 4, Room 404 (2)
The next day, Ji Yunding yawned, put the corpse sister (or corpse brother, the face was severely damaged and the gender could not be seen) on the dining table, and arranged it together with the little white flower.
"Excuse me, it's also over one meter high here, do you mind?"
Corpses don't speak.
Seeing that it didn't turn over by itself, Ji Yunding assumed that it didn't mind and simply started to eat breakfast.
If the corpse could speak, it would probably ask Ji Yunding why he put it on the dining table and why he was eating canned food next to it.
But for Ji Yunding, this place is just more convenient and there is still space, so he is just too lazy to move.
After dinner, Ji Yunding changed the bed sheets that were soiled by the corpse yesterday, yawned and prepared to take a nap, but the doorbell suddenly rang.
Ji Yunding shook his head, which was a little fuzzy from staying up all night, and opened the door, only to find a girl standing at the door who seemed to be a little older than her, about twenty-three years old, wearing a white skirt and a knitted jacket.
"Hello...Um, I want to ask, do you have any extra white flowers?"
She didn't seem to be used to asking people for things, and her tone was a little embarrassed.
"White flowers?"
Ji Yunding was stunned. Theoretically speaking, the only people who had seen white flowers in this building were Ji Yunding, the corpse, and the monster from last night.
The body was lying quietly on the table, Ji Yunding was standing inside the door, and the person opposite was...
"… Yesterday, I'm sorry."
Before Ji Yunding asked the question, she admitted it first.
"It's okay. I'm not injured anyway. So, will you become like that after 10 o'clock at night?"
Seeing that Ji Yunding had no intention of pursuing the matter, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Yes, please be careful at night. I...can't control myself."
Ji Yunding nodded, turned around, went into the house, rummaged through the bag, and handed her three flowers.
You can't believe everything this person says. The rules "You can't go out after 10 o'clock in the evening" and "Go to a high place when you hear the banging sound" are two different rules. Ji Yunding mixed the two up, but she agreed to it without hesitation.
The current situation is unclear, and we cannot rule out the possibility that she is telling lies to mislead Ji Yunding. But it doesn't matter what her purpose is, or who she is. Ji Yunding is just following the rules and giving it to them while they are still alive. That's all.
"Thank you. If you don't mind, please come to my room and sit for a while." She smiled, with a shallow dimple at the corner of her mouth.
Just go if you want to. The rules don’t say you can’t go.
Ji Yunding followed and walked two steps, then suddenly remembered something and asked, "Excuse me, what is your name?"
"Name?" She hesitated for a moment, then shook her head. "Sorry, I... just became like this not long ago, and I'm not used to it yet, so I'm a little confused. My name is Bai Yuxuan."
This person is weird, but there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with being weird. In general, except for the abnormalities, the current situation is generally normal.
The room on the sunny side is much brighter than Ji Yunding's room. I don't know how the apartment here is designed. Ji Yunding's room is on the shady side and has no windows.
Ji Yunding glanced around and found familiar advanced mathematics and college English textbooks on the bookshelf, as well as some unfamiliar postgraduate entrance examination reference books, and frowned.
It’s not that I noticed anything wrong, I just felt a little unlucky when I saw Advanced Mathematics and English, and I couldn’t help frowning.
Ji Yunding's academic performance was not bad, but the training in the research group and the university courses were a bit stressful, and he also had to do homework in the general education courses.
Before Ji Yunding asked anything, Bai Yuxuan spoke first: "Why did you come here?"
“It’s required for work.”
"I see. You are an investigator just like the previous ones."
Bai Yuxuan's wording didn't sound like a conversation, but rather like he was talking to himself to remind himself of something, which made Ji Yunding feel a little unnatural.
However, Ji Yunding also came to ask questions, so he changed the topic to the other party: "Have you always lived here?"
"Yes, because it's closer to my internship... but it's useless to say that now."
As he spoke, Bai Yuxuan shook his head and did not look at Ji Yunding while speaking.
The newborn's weird psychology is actually not very different from that of humans, so this somewhat timid and trance-like behavior cannot be said to be very strange.
"Please hurry up and leave today." Bai Yuxuan raised his head and looked at Ji Yunding worriedly, "You are a very good person, and this place is very dangerous."
"Objectively speaking, this place shouldn't be more dangerous than me. But thanks for the reminder."
Ji Yunding thanked him, but he felt a little confused.
Yesterday the old man advised her not to leave, but now Bai Yuxuan advised her to leave as soon as possible.
In order to figure out who is more trustworthy, we must first start with whether there are any problems between the two people. The old man didn't say much, and looked like he didn't care whether to believe it or not; while Bai Yuxuan in front of him...
Would a new monster who was killed by a monster not long ago think that the person who brought flowers to the monster was a good person?
"Which class were you in college?" Ji Yunding suddenly asked, trying to change the subject.
If we talk more about her, maybe we can find other flaws.
Bai Yuxuan was stunned for a moment, then replied with a hint of uncertainty: "Well... Class 3, my grades are not very good."
Okay, no need to chat anymore. Ji Yunding didn’t expect that the other party would explode with her in the first sentence.
This weirdo is most likely not a college student, and probably has never been to college. College is not high school, so how can there be such a division of classes? At least as far as Ji Yunding knows, several universities in this area usually divide classes by major.
In this case, we can tentatively conclude that she is not a resident of this house. However, Ji Yunding did not intend to point this out now.
"It's too soon to go back like this. I have to stay for two more days, otherwise it will be difficult to write the report."
Ji Yunding yawned again and stood up unsteadily.
"Let's go back at 7pm the day after tomorrow. We'll just catch the bus. If it's convenient, you can come and see me off."
Ji Yunding had no doubts about the smooth progress of the ordinary tasks - after all, according to the information, the average difficulty of ordinary tasks was much lower than that of a group of practical lessons.
After returning to the room, Ji Yunding locked the door and fell asleep. When he woke up, it was already night.
Write a report.
Ji Yunding took out his mobile phone, connected it to a power bank, and started adding report content.
On the second day, a monster was found that was not a resident. The first contact called himself Bai Yuxuan, claiming that he was the same individual as the monster seen on the first day in the previous record. It is currently speculated that he is the core monster of the strange story. According to the content of the conversation, voluntarily leaving the strange story may lead to unpredictable consequences. (The time in the strange story was recorded at 17:34)
Plan for the third day: Visit other residents of this building with flowers, talk to them, and get more information.
Plan for the fourth day: Undetermined, subject to change depending on the situation on the third day.
Day 5 plan: Enter the house of the suspected core weird individual to investigate, and then leave the weird talk depending on the situation.
…
After adding it, Ji Yunding locked the software used to write reports. After trying to talk to her "roommate" for five minutes, she found that the corpse did not seem to continue looking at her, but was staring at the bookshelf.
Ji Yunding stood up, walked to the bookshelf that the corpse was staring at, and pulled out the books one by one to check. When he pulled out a certain book, something suddenly fell out.
"…Investigators use standard cell phones?"
Ji Yunding was stunned for a moment, then he remembered that according to the preliminary information he had obtained, an investigator had indeed lost his mobile phone during the investigation.
It is not uncommon for investigators to lose their phones in ghost stories, but since he was reminded, Ji Yunding opened his phone and took a look.
Cannot open, password required.
The investigator's mobile phone password only exists in a special database. Apart from the investigator himself, only someone in the research group can decrypt it.
Ji Yunding sighed and was about to put away her phone, but she found that the corpse was looking straight at her, as if he wanted to convey something.
Looking at the lock screen of his phone, Ji Yunding came up with an absurd guess.
"You... know the password?"
Ji Yunding thought about it and realized that the corpse seemed to have only its eyeballs moving, but that was enough to express "yes" and "no".
"I'll read the number, and if it's correct, you'll look at me, okay?"
Afterwards, following the instructions of the corpse, Ji Yunding actually succeeded in unlocking the phone.
Now things are a bit problematic.
"So, you are a senior investigator?"
The corpse stared at Ji Yunding, motionless.
If the person here is the investigator of the lost phone, then who is the person going back?
If what is going back is the weirdness here, then why does this weird story still exist?
"Oh no..." Ji Yunding couldn't help but rub his hair hard, feeling a headache, "I haven't found a way to go back yet."
Originally, I wanted to take my time and investigate her room by deceiving Bai Yuxuan and telling her a false time of leaving, but now it seems that I have to speed up the plan.
"One last question. Is it true that only if I help the derivative monsters here or treat them kindly, can they tell me information?"
People have their own rules, and weird people have their own rules. The rules and constraints from the two perspectives are not the same.
The corpse was still looking at Ji Yunding, without moving his eyes away.
Ji Yunding thought for a moment, propped himself up and sighed: "The plan has changed, I have to work overtime."
This is a big deal, I have to hurry back to report. After dinner, around 7pm, I'll go door to door with flowers.
If possible, go and tell Bai Yu that she has changed her mind and decided to leave the day after tomorrow.
"What's your excuse... Did you forget to lock the door?"
Ji Yunding walked back and forth in the room thinking, temporarily overturned all his previous plans, and began to rearrange his time.
The things to do basically remain the same. First, we have to completely figure out what the monsters are planning. Otherwise, even if we report back, they will definitely be wary of an investigator leaving normally, and may even escape directly back to the other dimension.
Ji Yunding would not consider what the strange thing was for the time being, as it would not be a good thing anyway. Currently, he had to consider things related to the ghost story first.
Why does this weird story still exist even though it has deviated from its core weirdness?
"Multi-core weird talk? That's not right... the scale is too small." Ji Yunding was about to deny this idea, but suddenly remembered what he had heard before.
——The purpose of establishing this school is to mass-produce investigators of a certain level, and many of the things taught in class are not applicable to specific situations.
Speaking of which, Ji Yunding had been tricked by common sense once before in an alien dimension, and was inexplicably led astray by the weirdness.
"My thinking is wrong." Ji Yunding realized that she had been interacting with people more often at school, and it seemed that her thinking had also been infected with a virus called "take it for granted." "I have to start from logic and put aside the scale first."
It is known that the definition of multi-core weirdness is "a weirdness supported by multiple weirdnesses". Due to the conflict of core desires between weirdnesses, the rules of multi-core weirdnesses are often regional, and the rules will change with the changes of weirdnesses.
If we just go by the definition, if a possessed spirit that occupies the body of an investigator leaves strangely, but the strange story still exists, then this is a multi-core strange story that can accommodate multiple strange things.
Therefore, she had to be careful when she visited later, because there might be more than one core weirdo like Bai Yuxuan who would not help her.
After Ji Yunding came to a conclusion, he sat back on the bed and opened his mobile phone to modify the investigation report.
However, at this moment, there was a knock on the door.
Ji Yunding was about to get out of bed to open the door, but suddenly stopped.
If she hadn't figured out that this was a multi-core horror story, she might have instinctively let down her guard because the location where the knocking sound came from was consistent with the height of a normal human.
But now, putting aside other distractions, she listened carefully to the knock on the door.
Dongdong, Dongdong...
