Regardless of what happened on Blue Star, Yin Zhu was living a very comfortable life.
No wonder the comments were full of envy; the nursing home was indeed the most comfortable place Yin Zhu had ever lived in. There were no strange parents or siblings, and no inexplicably haunted mirrors. Everything was so comforting.
Perhaps because it felt so safe, after finishing the book, Yin Zhu even felt like she had forgotten something.
Fortunately, since becoming a chosen one, she had developed a special habit—when she didn't know what to do, she would look at the rules. Yin Zhu immediately took out her phone and read the rules again.
"I need to report to the office tomorrow and then start taking care of the elderly."
Yin Zhu wrote down everything she needed to do on a piece of paper to avoid forgetting. After finishing, Yin Zhu looked at her memo and wrote at the end, "I am Yin Zhu, the chosen one of the Blue Star Dragon Kingdom." Then she crossed it out.
Having spent too much time in the world of ghost stories, Yin Zhu's memories of Blue Star are starting to become somewhat hazy.
This is not a good sign.
The retirement home has no television or computer, so Yin Zhu can only pass the time with these books.
She specifically set an alarm on her phone for 8 PM, five minutes before the appointed time, to avoid getting too engrossed in her reading and inadvertently breaking the rules and becoming corrupted. Although Sin City is currently immune to the Unspeakable Gaze, being corrupted by the City Lord is probably not a good thing.
For humanity, danger has always been the force that is difficult to resist, not the unspeakable force behind it.
4. A curfew is in effect from 8:00 PM to 6:00 AM the following day. Please refrain from loud noises, draw the curtains, and turn off the lights to avoid disturbing the elderly residents of the nursing home.
At 7:55 p.m., the cell phone rang precisely on time.
Yin Zhu put down the book in her hand and saw that the night outside the window was as dark as fine ink. However, considering that the sky above Sin City was shrouded in the clouds of sin that were hard to dispel, it seemed quite reasonable that it was so dark.
From Yaoguang Tower, where Yin Zhu lives, you can see the other six buildings. About half of the windows are black, and it's unclear whether it's because no one lives there, the owner is asleep, or the owner has passed away.
Right in front of Yin Zhu, the light in one of the windows went out and then suddenly came back on.
Before Yin Zhu could react, the light repeated the operation.
[13. If you notice a light flashing three times in a room in another building, it indicates that the resident of that room is nearing the end of their life. Please be prepared.]
Is this... going to result in someone dying?
Yin Zhu stared at the last window that had been turned off, and was just about to turn and leave when she saw that the window light up again.
This time, the window remained lit for about 10 seconds before going dark.
This caught Yin Zhu's attention, so she simply stood by the window and continued watching.
Next, the lights went out, then came on for 10 seconds, then went out again, then came on for 10 seconds, followed by three more rapid flashes of light. Finally, Yin Zhu waited another 20 seconds, but the lights still didn't come on. Yin Zhu then drew the curtains, turned off the lights, and went to sleep.
The inexplicable flashing lights almost caused Yin Zhu to exceed the time limit.
Climbing into bed in the dark, Yin Zhu made sure to put her phone where she could reach it, set her alarm for six in the morning, pulled the covers over herself, and began to end her activities for the day.
Yin Zhu is asleep, but the comments section is not.
"Isn't that SOS Morse code?" A knowledgeable commenter immediately recognized the internationally recognized distress signal of three short, three long, and then three short again. It was unexpected that Dawn Star also used this.
"So that person was asking Yin Zhu for help?"
"Did Yin Zhu encounter any elderly people who needed help? I tend to think this is some kind of entrapment scheme."
"I remember the rules said that waiting for someone who flashes that much light would kill you, right?"
"Yes, I remember too. Could it be that three short, three long, three short isn't Morse code for SOS on Dawn Star, but something else, like Dawn Star's unique death warning?"
"Actually, there's no point in analyzing this here... Yin Basui doesn't know anything about this! She just went to sleep!"
A comment suddenly appeared and made a sarcastic remark.
However, the sender of this comment clearly underestimated the audience's level of trust in Yin Zhu. Just as a bunch of followers will emerge after a big shot in other fields makes an outstanding contribution, Yin Zhu also has a considerable number of such viewers who can make her seem like the only one worthy of praise, simply by imagining things.
"You're not Sister Sun, how do you know she doesn't recognize you?"
"That's right. Maybe Sister Sun just doesn't tell the viewers, but she actually knows all about this. Don't forget, she's the chosen one. If she weren't as capable as you, why wouldn't she have chosen you for the ghost story world?"
"Sister Sun has a very broad knowledge base, so she must know about this kind of thing. She didn't react on the surface, but she must have known about it for a long time."
If Yin Zhu knew what the comments were saying, she would probably burst out laughing.
Before she transmigrated, she was just an ordinary writer, not a Baidu Encyclopedia. Although her job required her to be versatile in terms of knowledge, she actually had a wide range of skills, but none of them were mastered.
Indeed, Yin Zhu knew this basic knowledge, but that didn't mean she thought the light was being shown to her.
Strictly speaking, Yin Zhu had not fully started working.
She encountered very few people that day, making it highly unlikely that she would happen to meet someone who needed help.
To put it another way, the only elderly person Yin Zhu actually interacted with that day was just a preachy old man. If he had actually died that very night, it wouldn't have been such a bad thing for Yin Zhu in a way.
