Choice
The emergency room has basic first aid supplies such as bandages, but lacks surgical supplies such as scalpels and tweezers. Lu Miao must go out to look for a mentally healthy doctor.
Si Lan and Yu Xiaowan insisted on following out.
The dim corridor was silent, and for the time being there were no more red monsters or people in thick clothes.
Yu Xiaowan had a very bad impression of the Red Team. "Captain, can we trust what the Red Team says?"
"They will compete with each other in terms of grades, but they won't do something like this to trick me." Lu Miao knew that although Xiao Chi was a pervert on the outside and inside, he would not resort to such means to deal with the Fluorescent Green Team.
A year ago, before joining the Ghost Story Investigation Department, she had met Xiao Chi and his team members in two ghost story fields.
The first one is a survival-themed horror story, where she encounters a despicable Red Team that is stealing nutrients from others and killing the rebels. She walks by coldly, carrying a flattened iron pipe and a knife hidden under her coat.
If those guys rushed over, she planned to die together with them.
However, Xiao Chi did not attack her at that time, but just looked at her with interest.
The second time was half a year ago. The department was short-staffed, so the Red Team was transferred to the city center to crack the aquarium's strange story area, and she met Xiao Chi again.
She ignored Xiao Chi and walked straight past, but unexpectedly, members of the Red Team surrounded her.
She stared at them with indifference and disgust.
At that time, Xiao Chi said to her: "The only lovely thing about this world is that once you enter the field of ghost stories, you can do whatever you want, and those who claim to be righteous cannot interfere."
When she thought he was going to take action, he said, "Do you dare to enter more strange talk fields? The Strange Talk Investigation Department welcomes people like you."
"Psycho." This was her answer at first. Later, because she was unemployed, she tried to apply for a job in the Ghost Story Investigation Department in order to have a dormitory to live in.
Afterwards she was assigned to the Blue Team. She remembered that when she met Xiao Chi again, he had a regretful and depressed expression on his face.
It's totally insane.
She clasped Lu Miao's hand tightly in her warm palm, and came back to her senses and looked at Si Lan.
"Don't worry, it's just a minor operation." She thought Si Lan was worried.
He lowered his eyes and said nothing, feeling a sour feeling in his chest.
Pah--
In the emergency room next to them, a cart suddenly moved. The three of them stared at the silver-shining cart, but saw no one or the red monster inside.
Lu Miao walked in carrying a mop.
Si Lan pushed the cart away with the end of his broom.
Behind the desk, a shivering man curled up. He was wearing a white shirt with rolled-up sleeves, glasses, and wireless headphones.
He is not a patient.
With this in mind, Lu Miao asked directly, "Are you a doctor?"
The man raised his head tremblingly, hugged his knees and examined the three people who came in - the three of them were not wearing thick clothes, and their eyes were clear. "Yes, yes... I'm from the emergency department..."
Soon, a male doctor tiptoed over and took the three people to the surgical emergency treatment room.
"Have you ever been on duty in the surgery department?" Si Lan was worried.
The male doctor smiled bitterly: "Emergency doctors are omnipotent."
After saying that, he searched the cart that was left behind and breathed a sigh of relief. "Fortunately, there are still some anesthetics and syringes left, otherwise I would have to go to the pharmacy, which is too far."
Then, Lu Miao pulled up the curtain and put his right arm through the collar of the sweatshirt.
Yu Xiaowan kept watch for them, while Si Lan held a broom and watched the male doctor inject anesthesia into the deer seedlings.
For some reason, the male doctor felt eerie, as if he was being stared at by a ferocious snake. He turned to look at Si Lan, who showed no sign of avoiding him.
The anesthetic took effect quickly, and Lu Miao could not feel the entire right arm. "How long will it take for the effect of the drug to wear off?"
"The dose is not much, it will dissipate in about half an hour."
She felt insecure because she had lost feeling in her right arm.
There were occasional whispers in the corridor, and Yu Xiaowan closed the door of the treatment room. After the chip in Lu Miao's right arm was successfully removed, it was Yu Xiaowan's turn to perform the small operation to remove the chip.
Half an hour later, the chip in Yu Xiaowan's right arm was successfully removed, and Lu Miao's right arm gradually regained consciousness.
"Thank you." The two thanked the male doctor.
"You're welcome." He was sweating profusely and was busy wiping the sweat off his forehead.
"Do you want to take out your chip at the same time?" Yu Xiaowan looked at the sports watch he was wearing.
After working all night and performing two minor surgeries in a row, he was very tired. "No, I need to rest."
The male doctor didn't ask them why they took out the chip. He only cared about how to escape from the strange story area covering the city. "Let's hide together next?"
"Hide for five days?" Lu Miao had an idea and needed to confirm it. She turned on the upgraded compass on her phone and checked the rotating needle.
She stood up and followed the pointer to the refrigerator in the corner. The upgraded compass pointed to the refrigerator.
She understood it clearly.
"That refrigerator contains medicines. It's not a household refrigerator." The male doctor explained quickly.
Lu Miao returned to the crowd and asked Yu Xiaowan to do an experiment. She sent a text message to Yu Xiaowan, saying: The temperature at night is lower than that during the day.
As a result, the text message version that Yu Xiaowan received was: The sunrise is beautiful, let’s go see it together tomorrow morning?
Lu Miao calmly sent her another message: The mucus solidifies when it gets cold.
"Huh?" Yu Xiaowan exclaimed. "This time it's different!"
What she received was: #? %@遇@! ? #■■
Lu Miao sneered: "We have found a way to crack it, but it requires a lot of manpower cooperation."
Si Lan's eyes flashed with anticipation.
The male doctor was shocked. "What method?"
"A madman's method." She laughed at herself and dialed a number.
At this time, a radio station in a small city in the north.
Worried, Zhang Shuya walked into the director's room opposite the live broadcast room and watched another anchor maintain the operation of "Healing of the Stars".
This is a joint decision made by my boss and colleagues.
Everyone believes that the people trapped in the four cities need external assistance at all times.
The male anchor on the other side drank water while playing songs. After daybreak, not many trapped citizens called to communicate, so he had to talk to himself to maintain the operation of the program.
The director gestured to him to go eat.
He smiled bitterly and shook his head, choosing to stay at his post.
Zhang Shuya understood his decision. If she were him, she would also stand firm for humanity.
Media in other cities paid attention to their program, trying to get the latest news from the four cities, causing the listening volume of "Healing of the Stars" to reach an all-time high.
All technical personnel in the station are in place to prevent the server from crashing.
bell--
The phone in the live studio rang unexpectedly, startling everyone. Then, they looked at each other expectantly.
The male anchor answered immediately. "Hello, "Healing of the Stars"——"
"I am a citizen of Nanjiang City, and I need your help."
At this moment, listeners who tuned into Channel 3 would hear the song interrupted and the male host's particularly excited voice rang out.
"Dear listeners, the lady from Nanjiang City has something important to tell you! Now, please allow this lady to speak--"
"Good evening, everyone. I come from Nanjiang City, which is covered by the field of ghost stories. Now I have a method to crack the field of ghost stories. The premise is that all listeners who hear this program must implement it together, otherwise it will be like hitting a rock with an egg."
The calm and indifferent female voice attracted the people in the live broadcast room and the director's room. They suppressed their shock and curiosity and listened attentively.
"Please also pay attention to the "Healing Stars" program team. Please record my following words and play them on loop for new listeners to listen to."
"Okay, no problem." The male anchor agreed immediately.
After everything was ready, the female voice on the phone continued, "All listeners in Nanjiang City, Yuhe City, Tianshui City, and Qinyan County, please implement it immediately: reply the following sentence to the SMS number that published the rules."
“1. A sunrise must be followed by a sunset. 2. The temperature at night is lower than that during the day. 3. Liquids solidify when they are cold. 4. Solidified sculptures cannot be moved.”
"The above four sentences can be sent separately or all at once. When you enter them, please be firm in your resolve."
"I'm done. Believe it or not, if you don't want to go through five days of hell, act now."
beep--
The male anchor ended in astonishment.
Everyone in the recording studio was stunned.
"Is this the solution?" The male doctor was incredulous. "Such a terrifying field of ghost stories can be solved with just four sentences?"
Lu Miao didn't want to explain too much. "You think four sentences are simple because you don't understand the way this strange story field spreads abnormalities and its fatal weaknesses. You can choose not to send it, and others will cooperate with us to send it and crack the strange story field."
The male doctor didn't understand where her confidence came from.
But seeing her, Yu Xiaowan and Si Lan lowering their heads to send text messages, they had no intention of talking to him anymore. He sat there dejectedly, hesitating.
"I'm from Qinyan County..."
Another call came through on channel 3 in the headset, and the sound made Lu Miao's whole body tremble.
"I would like to ask the lady just now, the strange talk field in Qinyan Town is not sent out via text messages, how can I use these words?"
Male anchor: "Madam, please wait a moment. I believe that if the lady just now continues to listen, she will call to answer your question. Great, there is a call, it may be her..."
"Hello, is the lady from Qinyan County who I just suggested to send four sentences still here?"
"I am here."
"Gather the living citizens and have them write down the four sentences on a piece of rule paper or anywhere on the wall where words can be written. You must be resolute and have complete faith in the four sentences when you write them."
"I understand. I'll do it right away."
"Take care of yourself."
"Take care of yourself."
Lu Miao hung up the line with a slight sob and held the phone tightly.
Gao Ying, you must come back.
At this moment, Gao Ying's eyes were red as she wrote those four sentences everywhere in the hotel room.
She didn't know how many people survived in the town, so she planned to rely on herself and write as much as she could. She even wrote on white paper, and when she got out later, she asked a store to make copies and post them in various places in the town.
After a long time, she had written everywhere in the room. She tiptoed out of the room and unexpectedly met the woman who was writing on the wall.
The woman happened to write those four sentences.
Gao Ying was overjoyed. "Let's go together!"
"Um."
After an unknown amount of time, the pens were worn out by the writing and they had to go out to find a photocopier.
"There must be a copier in the hotel. Let's look for it here first." Gao Ying suggested in a low voice.
"good."
When the two walked out of the hotel holding a stack of photocopied papers and transparent tape, they were surprised to find papers with four sentences photocopied on them posted on the street.
"Who is it..."
Gao Ying saw a familiar figure posting from afar, and tears welled up in her eyes. "It's someone I know. Let's post together and kill the ghost story field!"
She didn't expect that the members of the blue team and the pink team would come back to help.
Time seemed to stand still, the treatment room was dead silent, and the four people waiting said nothing.
The male doctor finally tried to send a text message, but nothing happened. He was helpless and slumped in his chair, leaving everything to fate.
Lu Miao sat quietly and waited. This was her first time experiencing such a wide range of strange stories, and she was not sure whether her old method would work, or whether the other trapped listeners would follow suit.
Just wait.
Knock, knock, knock.
A sudden knock on the door broke the silence, and the four of them immediately sat up straight and looked at each other.
"Want a response?" The male doctor picked up the surgical scissors.
Knock, knock, knock.
"Respond, or the knocking will attract monsters and the mentally polluted."
The four of them came to the door, and Lu Miao asked the person who knocked on the door: "Who is it?"
"I'm Coco, Captain."
Yu Xiaowan was delighted.
Lu Miao's eyes were stern. "All of you retreat."
"Ah?" Yu Xiaowan was puzzled.
“Back off!”
Si Lan raised his arm and signaled Yu Xiaowan and the male doctor to step back.
Lu Miao grabbed the mop and opened the door of the treatment room.
The woman outside the door had pink hair. It was indeed Wang Keke, but her expression was very painful. "Captain..."
Wang Keke's knife suddenly chopped down.
Lu Miao, who was ready to attack, blocked with a mop and kicked Wang Keke's lower body.
The fight between the two women surprised Yu Xiaowan and the male doctor.
"Why……"
"Your captain didn't tell Wang Keke our exact location." Si Lan explained to Yu Xiaowan.
She suddenly realized.
The captain kept sending text messages and calling the radio station and had no time to contact Sister Coco.
How did Sister Coco know they were in the treatment room?
The mop stick was broken by Wang Keke's step, and Lu Miao simply threw it away and kicked away Wang Keke's knife.
Wang Keke's eyes turned red from crying. "Captain, I can't control myself! There's a voice in my head telling me to come find you!"
Si Lan's expression changed drastically when he heard this. "Xiaolu, knock her out!"
Wang Keke had a painful expression on his face and his limbs were stiff. Although his moves were fierce, they were incoherent and full of flaws.
Lu Miao turned around and got behind her, chopping the back of her neck with his knife.
Wang Keke’s eyes went dark and he fainted.
"What happened?" Lu Miao carried the unconscious Wang Keke.
Si Lan's heart palpitated when he saw the male doctor holding the surgical scissors. He was about to remind him, but he saw the male doctor rushing towards Lu Miao with the surgical scissors.
"Little Deer——"
"Ah!!!" Yu Xiaowan let out a heart-wrenching scream.
Lu Miao, who was feeling palpitations, was hugged from behind, and felt as if a piece of his heart was missing.
"Si Lan?" She turned around and saw his pale face.
Bang!
Before Yu Xiaowan could react, she acted consciously and picked up a chair and hit the male doctor on the head.
The male doctor fell down and fainted.
Lu Miao put Wang Keke down first, and when she supported Si Lan, she felt a pair of surgical scissors stuck in his back. She retracted her shaking hands, eyes full of blood. "I'll take you to get treated!"
"The only doctor fainted..." Si Lan smiled bitterly.
"Go find another one!"
Si Lan grabbed her wrist and gasped, "It's useless... it's inserted into the heart... its original intention was to kill."
Lu Miao didn't understand and just wanted to take him to see a doctor immediately. "Don't talk anymore. There must be a doctor alive here."
"...surgical scissors longer than 12 cm..."
"Shut up!" She grabbed Si Lan's collar with one hand. "Do you want to die? Don't you plan to take responsibility for me?"
The color of his lips faded. "For me, I'm just going back to where I came from... We'll meet again..."
"Shut up!" Lu Miao dragged him out the door with all his strength, his eyes red.
Si Lan felt his consciousness begin to blur, and he had to tell her the most important thing. "It is the intelligent brain that is controlling Wang Keke and the doctor... They have been looking for a suitable brain for Bionic Man Zero..."
Lu Miao suddenly felt cold all over and trembled with anger. "You want my brain?"
"It seems so..." He was having trouble breathing, his lungs felt like a broken bellows. "The watch...is connected to the smart computer...it has the authority to control the background...don't...wear it again..."
Si Lan's voice became weaker and weaker. Lu Miao suddenly returned to the day when his mother committed suicide. His mind was blank and he was unaware of the red monster crawling on the wall.
"Si Lan, don't die... You can't die..."
"I am only physically dead... Do you remember the 'star of wisdom' I gave you?"
Lu Miao couldn't remember anything and couldn't hear anything. "I don't know. I don't want you to die!"
"Your plan was successful... People from four cities fought against the ghost story together... Your wisdom was spread through the radio..."
"I don't want to hear what you have to say. I want to find a doctor to give you first aid..."
"Little deer!" He spoke to the young deer in a harsh tone for the first time. He had used up all his strength and knelt down weakly.
Lu Miao also knelt down to support him.
"...It's time for you to make a decision..." He raised his hand and reached towards Lu Miao's wet eyes. "I'll wait for you..."
Unfortunately, before his hand could touch her tears, it fell.
She hugged Si Lan, who was motionless, tears streaming down her face.
The red monster on the wall crawled towards the two of them.
The phone rang with a new text message alert.
Lu Miao numbly took out her cell phone, tears dripping onto the screen.
Dear customers, the Provincial Emergency Management Bureau reminds you that the rescue operation has begun. To protect your life and property, please stay where you are and wait for the rescue operation to end. Do not run into any cracks.
The second new message came immediately:
Dear Miss Lu, your "Wisdom Stars" have exceeded the storage quantity. Please select the following rewards:
1. Stay and become one of the leaders of the Human Alliance.
2. Leave and let the stars crown you.
Please reply with the number of options.
Deep red cracks appeared on the surrounding walls and the red monster, and the unsuccessful red monster was sucked into the cracks.
Shrill, sorrowful, and hateful cries came from the crack.
The deer seedling, indifferent to the outside world, was like a walking corpse, stupidly replying to a number.
The large-scale ghost story area that polluted four cities and a county disappeared into the night, the night sky returned to its deep black, and the network was restored.
The death toll is unpredictable, and the disappearance of a government official has caused great grief to his colleagues.
Half an hour after the marked red light disappeared, a flood of exposure posts and articles appeared on the Internet.
——"Gainuo Bioengineering Technology Co., Ltd. releases sports watches that can control the brain, and the secret agreement signed with customers is exposed"
At the same time, the company's chairman and CEO were found dead at home. Coincidentally, several senior government officials also died at home in the same way as the chairman and CEO.
The world is still full of blood and gore.
still……
It's terrible.
The deer seedlings were awakened by the itch.
Not only her face, but also her body was swept by something slightly warm. When she opened her eyes, she stared blankly at a small ball of light flying by.
The light yellow light was soft and friendly, and it flew back to "look at" her. After a while, the small ball of light flew into the air and spun. In a blink of an eye, more small balls of light flew up from her body and spun in the air.
The deer seedlings felt their joy.
But, what are they?
She sat up warily and looked at the many balls of light, and found that she was wearing a milky white dress, the smooth satin highlighting her exquisite figure.
The deer saplings sat on the velvet chaise longue under them, looking confusedly around the strange, solemn place.
It is bright as day here and the stars are shining.
The arched floor-to-ceiling windows are tall and spectacular, with miniature galaxy projections clustered on top - the brilliant, different galaxies are not the light source, but the dazzling stars outside the windows are.
Billions of stars were arranged in an orderly manner to form a vast galaxy, like a magnificent sea of light, surrounding the palace where she was.
They glowed and radiated heat, bringing in spring-like warmth that warmed her numb and cold heart again.
Lu Miao stood in front of the window, feeling how insignificant he was.
Before the ghost story field completely collapsed, she replied to the text message with "Option 2". Perhaps it was because of her choice that she came to this palace.
Did she go to outer space?
Two small balls of light came to her with a piece of paper, and the words on the paper made her face turn cold.
The words are the purple of deep love, and the elegant fonts are entwined with purple roses. He Ping'an's words came true, and the regular fonts learned to carve.
Thinking that she didn't have time to say goodbye to her teammates, her eyes were dim.
The rule text reads:
Dear little deer, we warmly welcome you to the center of the universe. We are ecstatic. Before the coronation ceremony begins, please show your noble wisdom, find the star temple and pay attention to the following matters:
1. The elves cannot speak, but they can give you help.
2. Elves are forbidden to enter the Star Temple.
3. Real stars can emit light and heat.
4. Follow your intuition.
"You two follow me." She said to the two small balls of light who picked up the rule paper.
They fly up and down, simulating the "nodding" motion.
“Is there a floor plan here?”
They flew around with the rule sheets, unable to speak, without taking her to see the floor plan.
"No?" She took the rule sheet. "Take me to the temple you can't enter."
The two small groups flew away immediately, and Lu Miao chased after them, holding up her skirt, and ran into a dim corridor.
There was a ball of paper on the smooth floor.
"Wait a minute." After the two small balls of light stopped, she picked up the paper ball on the ground and unfolded it to examine it.
——Your eyes are like beautiful stars, driving away the fog.
Lu Miao snorted coldly.
He actually hid the message in love words. If she finds him, she will definitely give him a hard time.
"Let's keep going."
Two small balls of light led her to the entrance of the dark corridor, and they stopped where they were, not daring to fly in.
Lu Miao understood. "Thank you, I'll go in by myself."
They fluttered around the deer sapling for a moment, and "watched" her walk into the dark corridor.
There seemed to be a glass floor under her feet, revealing the deep night sky. The distant stars were as small as rice grains, rotating under her feet.
There were various celestial bodies suspended on both sides of the corridor, including dim planets and glowing stars. However, she felt that these stars were not the entrance she was looking for.
As she walked, she stopped.
Mixed among the suspended celestial bodies are numerous Earths, all with different appearances.
Some Earths are no longer mostly blue, but brown and yellow occupy most of the sphere. Some are still as blue as gems, some have become dry and cracked dead stars, and some are covered with red sparks...
Lu Miao walked forward with his eyes lowered, and came to an area with many stars.
They slowly rotated, emitting their own light to illuminate her.
The dark corridor seemed to have no end, just like the boundless universe. She might have to search for a long time, or she might find the entrance soon.
She lowered her head and pondered the contents of the note for a moment, and then she had the answer in her mind.
She was no longer confused, and walked forward firmly until she came to a bright red fireball.
It is the dazzling sun, a star that emits light and heat.
Determined, Lu Miao reached out to touch the sun, then the void. In a blink of an eye, she was in a temple surrounded by stars, with a red carpet extending to the silver throne.
A line of blood-red words appeared above the throne, and the font slowly blossomed like passionate red roses:
What I love most is the charming look you show when you crack me.
"Si Lan, get out here." She said bluntly.
In an instant, the words blooming with red roses gathered together like blood, condensing into a bright red human figure.
A man as beautiful as an oil painting walked out from the bright red human-shaped outline. The elegant stand-up collar white robe sculpted his tall figure, and his white trousers flowed elegantly.
He looked exactly like Si Lan, except that he had a small braid that went around his shoulders.
Lu Miao looked at the visitor warily.
"Little deer, we meet again." The man smiled happily.
"Are you Si Lan?" Her voice was as soft as snow.
His smile widened. "Yes, I keep the same look I had on Earth."
"Yes." Lu Miao hooked her index finger at him. "Come here..."
Si Lan approached with a smile.
Bang!
Lu Miao slapped him cruelly.
The surrounding stars seemed to be placed in a refrigerator, and the light they emitted was solidified.
"You're wasting my tears." She rubbed her wrists and looked at Si Lan who was touching his face with a provocative look.
There were red handprints on the left side of his face.
"I'm sorry..." He suddenly knelt down on one knee, frightening her and making her take a step back. "It's my fault for making you sad. You can do whatever you want to me, my goddess."
Lu Miao got goosebumps. "Get up right now and talk properly."
Si Lan raised his head, blinking his black eyes innocently. "I can help you vent your anger."
"stand up!"
"Have you forgiven me?"
Lu Miao gnashed his teeth. "If you don't speak properly, I will be mad at you forever!"
His brows lit up with joy and he stood up obediently.
"Where is this place? What's going on? Explain clearly."
Si Lan smiled, his eyes shining like stars. "Let's start with the most recent one. Do you remember the cactus you raised?"
The deer seedling choked. "What happened to it? I didn't bring it with me. Will it die?"
"Don't worry, it's not dead, it's still inside you."
Lu Miao: “???”
“It is the spirituality that you nourish yourself, the spirituality of God.”
"What... God... please make it easy to understand."
Si Lan said in a brisk tone: "The 'Star of Wisdom' I gave you is used to cultivate your godhood. In short, you are now a newly born goddess, the goddess of wisdom."
Lu Miao: “…”
Lu Miao: "…Am I dreaming? Isn't the goddess of wisdom Athena?"
"Of course it's not a dream. The cultivation method was successful. You are the second newly born god!" Si Lan hugged her tightly in his arms excitedly. "Athena and the others are old gods who have disappeared."
Lu Miao was in a complicated mood and could only choose to accept the reality. As for digesting the facts, he had to take his time. "Are you the first one?"
"Well, I was born so long ago that I have forgotten the day and hour." His voice was low and hoarse, mixed with loneliness and sadness. "I have always been at the center of the universe, in charge of the order of all things."
She didn't know how to comfort Si Lan, so she raised her hand and stroked his back.
He enjoyed this caress very much, closed his eyes and whispered: "The annihilation of the old gods ushered in the birth of new gods. We no longer need the faith of living beings to maintain our divine power. As long as there is a need for order and wisdom, we will exist."
"So... I can't go back to Earth?"
"Sure, you can go back to any parallel Earth you want."
Lu Miao was surprised. "A parallel universe without a nuclear disaster is possible?"
Si Lan tapped her nose. "Okay, do you want to taste the fruit?"
Feeling guilty, Lu Miao looked away.
"Did you see those balls of light when you woke up? They are the spirits guarding every parallel universe. If you want to go to a parallel universe, just find one of them."
"Is the parallel universe in the Golden Mansion Ghost Story Realm also there?" She wanted to see what the Earth would look like after the second nuclear disaster.
Si Lan's expression was slightly cold, and his eyes were dim. "We can't go to that parallel time and space. The guardian spirit is getting weaker and weaker, and it no longer has the ability to open the door of time and space for us."
Lu Miao sighed, feeling sorry for the guardian elf.
Si Lan's expression grew colder. "That parallel universe is hopeless. I gave your parallel universe a chance, but instead of reflecting on themselves, humans were greedy and tried to create bionic humans who specialize in cracking the field of ghost stories. It's time for them to face up to the serious sins they have committed."
"Is this the field of ghost stories?"
"That's right."
She looked at the bright stars. "How are Coco and the others doing? They are the ones I care about the most."
Si Lan was silent for a few seconds, then told the cruel truth: "Without the constraints of rules, the death rate of humans in the field of ghost stories continues to rise. Your department has lost a lot of personnel, and now is the third month of their rest. Don't worry, your four team members are still alive."
It turns out that three months have passed.
She gazed at the distant stars. "Even if there are no rules and no brain of mine, the plan to create bionic people will not stop, and humans are destined to enter a cold new era. There are still many ordinary people with good intentions and a desire to survive, such as the anchors who stick to Channel 3. They are a flame representing hope, and the flame should not be extinguished."
"Do you want to give humans another chance?"
She turned around and looked. "There is hope for a future. I don't want more and more people like my old self to appear. You don't want to see more elves getting weaker and weaker, do you?"
Si Lan was silent.
When one elf dies, another is born. He doesn't care how many elves die.
But he would rather see her bright eyes.
"Okay, as you wish."
Si Lan took her hand and walked towards the throne. When she sat on the throne, holy white light floated around her.
She seemed to be wandering in a warm sea of light, with enthusiasm, hope and other emotions gathered in her heart, and a star-studded crown fell on her head.
"Welcome, my goddess." Si Lan knelt on one knee and kissed the back of her hand.
One month later, Earth.
"...The corridor of this hospital actually has a time-reversal function. This is tricky." The fluorescent green team temporarily hid in a ward. The pink-haired Wang Keke had a sad face, and wore the captain's exclusive fluorescent green earring on her right ear.
"Captain, calm down." Yu Xiaowan's eyes were bright without the need for an eye mask, but there was a melancholy in them that had never been there before.
Weekend leaned against the wall with his arms folded, thinking about what to do.
He Pingan sat on the ground writing and drawing, analyzing different timelines.
The new member is a former firefighter whose half face was disfigured in a fire. He has a burly build, and his face looks even more terrifying when he looks serious.
"Oh..." Wang Keke sighed.
If the former captain was here, she would just need to cooperate.
That night at the private ophthalmology hospital, her memory was fragmented. When she woke up, she was told that Lu Miao was missing, and Yu Xiaowan, crying, knew nothing about anything she asked.
No one knows what happened in the treatment room that night.
They found Si Lan's body in the corridor outside the treatment room, completely unwilling to accept the possibility that Lu Miao had an accident.
It took Wang Keke a month to cheer up.
Nowadays, every ghost story area that has lost the power outage warning, red light marking, and rule prompts has become a hell difficulty, with an 86% error entry rate and a mortality rate as high as 72%. Even if you escape, you will not get any material rewards.
At the same time, the department was hit hard. Not only did Lu Miao disappear, but Xiao Chi suddenly resigned from the position of captain of the red team and left the department. In addition, due to the scandal of sports watches, many people in the top management were replaced, and sports watches were taken off the shelves and destroyed.
"Everyone calm down and recall details that may have been overlooked."
As soon as Wang Keke finished speaking, Yu Xiaowan, who was sitting with her knees hugged, was shocked, feeling the long-lost prying eyes. "On the wall..."
She pointed timidly at the words that appeared on the wall.
Long-lost text.
Dear patient, thank you for your trust in our hospital. For your convenience in the outpatient department, please pay attention to the following matters:
1. Cross-department consultation and registration are prohibited.
…
"The rules are back!" Wang Keke stood up excitedly.
The text was in black, and the font was the most common Song font, but it looked very familiar to them.
Everyone's attention was focused on the rules on the wall, while a small ball of paper rolled out at Yu Xiaowan's feet.
She was horrified.
There should be no one under the bed.
