Chapter 159

Due to the perspective, Lu Yueling did not see clearly what Xu Ming handed to Gu Yunshu.

But she could clearly feel that the moment Gu Yunshu got the thing, the whole person seemed different.

She couldn't explain what kind of change it was... It was like a set of mortise and tenon joints snapping together, and it was also like a puzzle that had been placed for a long time and finally had the last piece added, which inexplicably gave people a sense of neatness and comfort.

Gu Yunshu didn't say anything, but just stared at the thing in her hand. After a while, she closed her eyes and bowed deeply to Xu Ming. When she raised her head again, her back was straighter than before.

…The atmosphere seemed to be a bit serious. Lu Yueling had originally planned to join in the fun, but was too scared to go. Xu Ming

was casual. He just went forward to hug Gu Yunshu, then turned around and began to stir up the wall of flesh and blood in front of him.

With a successful precedent, the next actions were much smoother. Xu Ming went to Guo Shuyi's ghost story on purpose, took out a pickaxe, and smashed one at a time. Soon, he smashed out a pair of mini red shoes and the noisy newspaper barrel from before. Because the roots he took out were covered with pus, Xu Ming was also very careful when he took them. Landor on the side was quite conscious and quickly took it, and picked up the shadow dog and wiped it carefully.

After wiping, the cat came up curiously again, sniffing around the two roots, trying to determine the purpose of these two things. Gu Yunshu sensibly found a pen and paper and wrote down the numbers one by one, so that Xu Ming would not be confused later... After

repeating this several times, everyone's movements became more and more smooth. Digging, wiping, identification, registration, a set of processes, there is no stagnation, smooth, even between the movements, there is even a bit of professionalism.

Lu Yueling watched silently on the side, marveling at the wonder, and took on the job of taking care of Kuai Le and monitoring the mirror teacher.

—— Strangely enough, although this mirror teacher had been in a coma before, he also showed some signs of waking up from time to time. But they were all very alert about this. Once they found that the other party seemed to be waking up, they would quickly slap him and then knock him unconscious. Since Xu Ming came out from behind the door, the parasitic teacher Jing really didn't move at all.

With his eyes closed and motionless, he didn't know whether he fell asleep or what.

Lu Yueling was muttering in her heart, but out of caution, she still tied him up tightly with her hair and refused to let go for a moment. Just as she was thinking about whether to try to wake him up, she suddenly heard Xu Ming's voice from behind. She turned her head and saw that the other party was pointing at a pile of roots on the ground that looked like a small hill and waving at her.

"Can you help move these farther away?" She said to Lu Yueling, "There are too many, it's a bit crowded. The ground is full of dirty water, I'm afraid it will be dirty again."

Lu Yueling curled her lips and responded slowly. After taking a closer look, she was dazed for a moment.

... Were there so many roots piled here just now?

If I remember correctly, I was just distracted for a while. Isn't your speed of moving things too amazing...

Secretly shocked, Lu Yueling hurriedly picked up a few from the ground and hurried to a more empty corner of the room. After putting it down, she turned around to look at Teacher Jing who was still unconscious, and couldn't help but feel a little worried.

"Hey." She couldn't help but say, "Is this lamp man on the teacher's body still there? I put these roots so far away, what if it wakes up and suddenly rushes over to grab them?"

"It can't take it away." Xu Ming was very sure about this, and he continued to dig firmly while saying, "I have written evidence." It

was all written in black and white, and there was also the blessing of the "Ghost Story Demolition Office" as the basis for the rules. Even if it wanted to grab it, it had to find a way to change the rules first - but there were so many people here with Xu Ming, and they were still in the safe zone. It was still a question whether it could survive until the modification was completed.

And Xu Ming was very suspicious that the lamp man's modification ability was limited. Otherwise, she made such a big change in the elevator, and if they could change it, they would have changed it long ago. It wouldn't have taken so long.

"...Don't mention it, it seems so." After hearing her guess, Kuai Le showed some thought on his face, "I don't know what the rules are in the elevator. But when I set the rules to prohibit them from snooping into our chat records, they really didn't react."

"But when they parasitized Teacher Mirror, they changed my rules for the safe zone." Xu Ming lowered his eyelids, "Either they have to pay a price for changing the rules. Or there are other restrictions..."

Thinking of this, she seemed to realize something, her eyes moved slightly, but she didn't continue.

Lu Yueling looked around blankly, trying to follow the train of thought but failed. She wanted to ask something else but was afraid of appearing stupid, so she could only pout on the spot. Fortunately, Gu Yunshu was obviously thinking about the same thing, and he spoke up as Lu Yueling's questioner:

"So what is the current status of the 'Lighthouse Man'? Is it still parasitic on this lady?"

Xu Ming and Kuai Le looked at each other, but shook their heads at the same time.

It's not "absent", but simply "I don't know".

The Lighthouse Man on Kuai Le has been recovered by the lighthouse, and it is no longer possible to sense it in this regard. Xu Ming had squatted in front of Teacher Jing to observe before, but unfortunately he didn't observe anything.

Landor and Mao both have outstanding five senses, but it is also difficult for them to make judgments when facing an unconscious host.

...So it's not just me, but everyone is actually struggling with this matter? ?

Lu Yueling felt relieved suddenly. She had to admit that it was a great feeling to think that she was the only one who didn't know the answer, only to find out that no one else had figured it out.

"What if it has already left?" As her mood improved, Lu Yueling started to talk more. "Maybe it ran away when we weren't paying attention..."

"Impossible." The cat said without hesitation. "I've been staring at it. It definitely didn't show up."

No one can escape its tiger eyes. No one.

"And there's no point in it escaping." Kuai Le yawned. "Unless you find a suitable parasite, the Lantern Man won't be able to leave the 100th floor for a long time. After all, the source of the strange story is here."

If you can parasitize, you can move around freely, or even leave the strange story. But that's even more meaningless. Not to mention that the purpose of these people called Lanterns is to find the key to open the door; the reason why they seemed difficult before was largely because this was a strange story created by the existence behind the door, and it was their home ground. Once this strange story is removed, it is hard to say who will chase who.

"......?" Xu Ming was stunned when he heard this, and even the action of prying the corner of the wall stopped for a moment. Some thought appeared on his face. After a few seconds of pause, he suddenly realized that something was wrong, "Wait, the Lanterns were called before to catch me..."

"I know that. You have been behind the door, have you made a deal? The lighthouse remembers you." Happy said without hesitation, "They felt your breath as soon as you came in."

But it was only for that moment. Humans have a natural protection of reason, not to mention that Xu Ming is a relatively stable type. The Dengren's perception of her is not as sensitive as the Alien Root, and after a long time, they will not be able to perceive her again.

That's why they tried to leave a mark on Xu Ming. Once the mark is fully formed, no matter where Xu Ming is, they can find him again, or even grab him directly.

It's a pity that the first mark was not completely successful - Kuai Le's memory of this is not very clear, but he has a vague impression that it seems that the Peeping Mirror saw their action, so it joined forces with Landor to interrupt it.

Thinking of this, looking at Teacher Jing who is still in a coma, one can't help but sigh.

Xu Ming also thought of this, and sighed imperceptibly, handing a small sack that he had just pried out to Landor. After a brief pause, he seemed to think of something, and his tone suddenly became a little subtle:

"Wait a minute. That means they really want to catch me... but didn't you say that they didn't intend to let me be the key at first?"

"Yes, it's a competition for the job." He said happily, "Casting a wide net and focusing on catching are not contradictory. You are so qualified, and there is a rule book..."

Even if you can't be the key, it would be great to have it as a follower after being controlled. If it really doesn't work, it can still be used as nourishment. After all

, in her remaining memories, the lighthouse was indeed very interested in Xu Ming.

... Of course, it is not certain whether it is still interested now.

Happy thought silently, and glanced at the wall of flesh and blood in front of him. The pus bags that were originally all over the wall had been punctured by at least half, and it looked even more disgusting with its bumps and pits.

"What a scumbag." Xu Ming couldn't help shaking his head and speaking out, while continuing to hit the wall of flesh and blood in front of him, "You obviously just treat me as a backup, but when you asked me to open the door, you acted as if I had to do it, and even brought up my parents to pressure me... What a scumbag."

Happy: "..."

No, can't you look at what you are doing before you scold others for being a scumbag?

Xu Ming was quite righteous and even pried the corner of the wall more forcefully.

But she seemed to be still thinking about something, and from time to time she looked back at the still unconscious teacher Jing, with a thoughtful look on her face. After a while, she seemed to have finally made up her mind, put down the pickaxe and squatted aside, took out the rule book and fiddled with it for a while, then quickly wrote a note and handed it to Gu Yunshu, and then put her into the rule book.

As if she was on guard against something, she hardly spoke to anyone else during this series of operations. Even with Gu Yunshu, the communication was mainly in writing, and only a few words were simply explained verbally.

This made Lu Yueling curious. But seeing that everyone else seemed to understand and didn't ask any more questions, she was too embarrassed to ask, so she had to suppress her curiosity and continued to pick up the roots piled on the ground.

Anyway, Xu Ming would not harm anyone, and she always had her reasons for doing things - Lu Yueling was still very confident about this.

When Xu Ming had pried almost two-thirds of the way, this series of mysteries seemed to have finally been answered -

in the blink of an eye, a sanitary napkin mutual aid box appeared in the room they were in.

It looked very inconspicuous. If the shadow dog that Landor was holding as a wiping cloth had not suddenly raised its head and howled twice, Lu Yueling would not have noticed it.

Everyone's eyes were instantly focused on it. Lu Yueling curiously stepped forward and opened it to take a look, and found a note from Guo Shuyi inside:

[TO100: Setup completed - 26]

"Hey, what does this mean?" This time she really couldn't help herself, and turned to look at Xu Ming curiously, "Is this mutual aid box related to her..."

"Yeah." Xu Ming interrupted her, "It can be regarded as... it can be regarded as her free expression."

Lu Yueling: "...Huh?"

"I just asked Gu Yunshu to tell her to make good use of the rule book I shared with her and try to establish an additional communication tool between the floors." Xu Ming shrugged, "As for this mutual aid box, it should be her personal design. After all, you know about her hometown."

"Oh..." Lu Yueling nodded with sudden realization. Indeed, as someone who has explored Guo Shuyi's ghost stories, she was deeply impressed by this - in Guo Shuyi's ghost stories, the bathroom mutual aid boxes do serve the function of information exchange.

"So this 26, is it the floor where she is now?" She nodded in understanding, "She went back again."

"Yeah. After all, there is a former key candidate there, I think it's better to have more people watching it." Xu Ming nodded, "Po Haitang is also on that floor. You know, it's an alien root, scared to death, with Xiao Xiao Guo around, it feels more at ease."

"I see." Lu Yueling understood again, and looked at the note in her hand again, "Should we write her a reply now?"

"Not for now." Xu Ming said, turning his attention back to the wall in front of him again, "No hurry, wait until the situation is more stable."

...What do you mean? Is it not stable enough now? What's unstable?

Lu Yueling didn't quite understand, but seeing that Xu Ming had no intention of explaining further, she didn't ask any more questions. Xindadi tilted his head and ran to sort out the roots on the ground again.

It was strange, it was just a message, but for some reason, Gu Yunshu didn't come back after leaving. Lu Yueling took over her previous job and was responsible for entering and registering the roots that Xu Ming had pried out one by one. However, in this way, she would not be able to take care of the teacher under the surveillance camera. Fortunately,

this problem was quickly solved through personnel transfers - Kuai Le seemed to have rested enough, and also came over to see the roots that Xu Ming had pried out, and took over the identification and classification of the roots. The lion cat was just tired of doing this job, so he turned around and jumped onto the mirror teacher's body, stomped his four legs and turned around a few times, then found a comfortable position and squatted down. He

also deliberately chose a position where he could see Xu Ming. Sometimes when he saw a root that interested him, he would crane his neck to take a closer look and talk to Kuai Le.

The sanitary napkin mutual aid box has been hanging there quietly. From time to time, a piece of paper would be brushed out of it. Some of them were from Dali Weeding and Anxin Gardening, mainly to inquire about the exploration of the 100th floor and ask if they needed help; more of them were from other members of the demolition office, who wrote to inquire about Xu Ming's situation.

Xu Ming was willing to reply this time, and he replied one by one to report that he was safe; as for the reply to Dali Chucao, Kuai Le happily took it over - and then Lu Yueling watched her write quickly, accusing Dali Chucao of poor security and welfare in hundreds of words, and righteously demanded compensation and salary increase on the grounds of work-related injuries.

Lu Yueling was amazed.

Xu Ming came over to take a look out of curiosity, and was also a little surprised: "I thought you would ask for resignation."

"I want to too." Kuai Le said bluntly, "But they will buy me a PS5."

Xu Ming: "..."

Xu Ming silently covered Lu Yueling's ears and pulled her aside.

——While these letters were going back and forth, Xu Ming had already chiseled away three quarters of the pus on the wall.

Because some of the pus was located higher, the further back he went, the slower he pushed forward. Like now, what was left was basically the top part.

That part was too high for Xu Ming, but now she was the only one who could break it. The shadow dog was very active, and it quickly adjusted itself into the appearance of a big brown bear, walking towards Xu Ming with its two legs upright. Its rough front paws were spread out wide, and it was almost like hanging a sign "Come and hold me up high" above its head.

Landor was embarrassed by it and didn't dare to raise his eyes. Xu Ming also held his forehead and decisively chose to go to Guo Shuyi's ghost story again and took out a stepladder from it.

It's not that she felt embarrassed, but she just couldn't get over it psychologically. After all, it was too much like animal abuse.

The brown bear, who didn't get a hug, roared and turned back into a skinny dog, lying on the ground, wagging its tail in boredom. The lion cat taunted it unceremoniously, while Xu Ming, with the help of Landor, had climbed up the stepladder, aimed at a pus bag, and carefully smashed it down -

bang!

The wall seemed to scream, and the whole room shook violently!

Xu Ming was so scared that he hugged the ladder violently. After a long pause, and only after making sure that the shaking had passed, she stood up cautiously and looked around with lingering fear.

"What happened?" she whispered.

No one could answer her question. Everyone was a little confused.

No matter what, it's always a good thing to have a response. It also shows that there is no problem with their direction -

Xu Ming thought silently, and forced himself to stand up on the ladder again, and dug hard against the wall -

another auscultation burst. The roots hidden inside suddenly fell out, and the whole room shook again.

Xu Ming pursed his lips, adjusted the position of the stepladder, held his breath and did it again - it fell again, and shook again.

The third, fourth... the root of the last part seemed to be related to something more critical. Every time one was chiseled open, there was a shaking, and the shaking became more and more intense. After the fourth one was chiseled, new letters from other floors appeared in the sanitary napkin mutual aid box, indicating that there was a shaking on their floor, and they wanted to ask Xu Ming if he had any ideas about it.

But Xu Ming was afraid that he would be shaken off the ladder, so he asked Lu Yueling to fix him with hair. Since he couldn't come down at this time, he asked Lu Yueling to reply to the letter on his behalf and explain it briefly; he held the ladder and slowed down for a while until his violently beating heart calmed down a little, and then he stood up again with a heavy breath.

At this moment, there were still three pus bags of various sizes on the wall.

Xu Ming took a deep breath with a pale face, and finally made up his mind. He raised his hand again towards the third from the last.

With a snap, the abscess did not break, but the room shook again!

This time the shaking was even more severe, and even the lion cat lying on the mirror teacher was unstable and rolled down. It stood up in panic and subconsciously looked in the direction of Xu Ming. Seeing her whole body hanging diagonally in the air, it was even more frightened and meowed.

Xu Ming was helpless. Who could have thought that the earthquake would be so severe that even the ladder that Landor was holding was overturned. She was on the ladder, so she naturally overturned with it. The problem was that her upper body fell down, but her feet, which were tied by hair, were still in place...

Fortunately, with Landor and Lu Yueling there, nothing serious happened. The shaking ground gradually calmed down, and she was helped back to the ladder little by little. The lion cat watched from a distance and finally breathed a sigh of relief. She turned around and was about to jump on Teacher Jing, but she heard a voice suddenly rang out -

"Don't look into my eyes!"

...? !

The lion cat was yelled at and instinctively closed its eyes. Almost at the moment when it closed its eyes, a strong light shone directly at it. Even through the eyelids, it could feel a strong white light.

The next moment, it felt that the strong light was like lightning, passing directly in front of its eyes, and then it heard Xu Ming and others behind it making a commotion!

The lion cat was startled and hurriedly turned around. It saw a white light, like an eel, quickly climbing up along the wall of flesh and blood, and disappeared into the ceiling in the blink of an eye!

"..."

...Meow?

The lion cat blinked in surprise, turned around again, and met the apologetic eyes of the mirror teacher.

"Sorry." She coughed twice, as if she felt uncomfortable because of the restraints on her hands and feet. "I'm sorry for causing you trouble before."

Lion cat: "..."

Is this the point? !

With eyes wide open in disbelief, and recalling what he had just seen, even if he was unwilling, he had to admit the terrible fact -

he messed up!

He didn't keep an eye on the lantern man! He let it run away!

It's a bad cat!

A strong sense of frustration surged up in an instant, almost drowning it, and even its ears drooped unconsciously - the next second, he felt his body lighten, and was picked up by someone.

"What's going on? The airplane ears are coming out?" Xu Ming had gotten down the ladder without knowing when. He stroked its head while walking towards the sanitary napkin mutual aid box, "Don't worry, it's okay, it's not a big problem."

Cat: "..." Just comfort me, everyone ran away!

The others obviously didn't take Xu Ming's words seriously, especially Lu Yueling, who almost ran to get paper and pen.

"What should we do next? Send a message to other floors?" She said nervously, "Should I send one to each floor? Is it in time? What should I write? Can it be sent to a group?"

"No hurry." Xu Ming still looked calm, even holding the cat in his arms, "Just write to the 26th floor."

"Just write...you can open the door. Xiao Xiao Guo will understand."

...? ? ?

Lu Yueling paused.

Open the door? What door?

Although she was confused, she quickly wrote the note and put it into the sanitary napkin mutual aid box. The moment she put it down, she heard Lando speak in the same confusion:

"How do you know it will go to the 26th floor?"

"I don't know, I guessed." Xu Ming said, and found a clean place to sit down. He pulled the head of the cat in his arms - the cat was still struggling with his dereliction of duty, curled up into a ball, crying softly, without any resistance.

"What's the use of escaping? Didn't Kuai Le say it before? Unless we find a host to parasitize, the Lantern Man will not be able to leave the 100th floor for too long." Xu Ming said softly, "Besides, let's change our perspective - if I were the Lantern Man, what would I do most now?"

"..." Lando and Lu Yueling looked at each other without saying a word. It was Teacher Jing, who had just woken up, who sighed and said weakly: "Modify the rules."

Facing the gazes of others, she firmly repeated her words: "The characteristics of the Light Caller determine its behavior pattern. The primary purpose of its existence is to open the door, and now in this situation, everything about opening the door needs to be replanned - if it were me, I would try to quickly modify the rules and regain the initiative."

"That's it." Xu Ming nodded affirmatively, "But how can the rules be modified?"

Regarding this point, she could only guess - it is very likely that the Light Caller has the ability to modify the rules only when in a parasitic state.

Parasitism requires an alien root. And there happens to be an alien root on the 26th floor. Not only that, there is also a spare key there. There is even an abnormal being holding a replica rule book.

No matter from which angle you look at it, it is the most suitable place for attack.

"But how did it know...ah!"

Lu Yueling originally wanted to ask it how it knew that there were these things on the 26th floor, but before she finished speaking, she suddenly reacted: "No wonder you said those things at that time...you said them to it!"

She just remembered that Xu Ming had mentioned the situation of the 26th floor in person in this room!

Xu Ming just shrugged again: "Let's take a gamble.

" "After all, there was no reaction for such a long time. Apart from real death, the only possibility is that he is pretending to be dead. "

If he is pretending to be dead, it means that the Light Man is waiting for the right opportunity. In this case, it doesn't hurt to sell him some useful information.

If he is really unlucky and this guy is really unconscious and can't hear any information from the outside world, then it can only be her bad luck. But the 26th floor still has its own advantages—the Blubber Man has also been behind the door. According to Kuai Le, the Light Man can also feel its breath.

"Anyway, let's give it a try." Exhaling lightly, Xu Ming determined his behavior. "I was still worried about what to do with the remaining Light Man. These arrangements are also made just in case... It depends on whether it can be prevented. "

If we are really unlucky and something unexpected happens, we can only maintain communication with the outside world, speed up the demolition of the wall, and take one step at a time.

Lu Yueling frowned again: "But, even if it really enters the 26th floor, what can we do?"

"It's so troublesome to call the lamp man. Even if we call Gu Yunshu and the others, we may not be able to defeat it."

Xu Ming listened and smiled lightly.

"That kind of thing is indeed troublesome, but didn't Kuai Le also say that this kind of trouble is only limited to their home turf."

Lu Yueling: "...Huh?"

Xu Ming put the cat down, patted his clothes and stood up, pointing to the sanitary napkin mutual aid box on the wall:

"Speaking of which, I'm quite sorry. I was afraid that it might hear it, so I didn't tell the truth about this thing.

"I did use the rule book to send Yun Shu to Xiao Xiao Guo, and I did ask her to bring some messages - but the point of that information was not to let Xiao Xiao Guo establish intelligence contacts.

"Ah?" Lu Yueling looked at the mutual aid box next to her in surprise, and felt even more confused, "Then why did she make the same thing as in her own ghost story..."

"No." Xu Ming said, "It's not the same."

"It is."

"..."

Her eyes froze again, Lu Yueling blinked, as if she thought of something, and suddenly opened her mouth.

Then he looked over in disbelief: "You mean, could it be..."

"I sent Gu Yunshu over, and then I copied the rule book again and shared it with Yunshu." Xu Ming said lightly, "In this way, Xiao Xiao Guo can take my rule book and enter her own ghost story."

"Isn't Xiao Xiao Guo always trying to further control her own ghost story? She has a lot of rules she wants to change, but because of lack of power, many rules cannot be changed.

"I think Rule Book No. 9 may be helpful in this regard, so I specifically asked Gu Yunshu to take a letter and let her take the book in to try... Of course, it is not realistic to complete the modifications in such a short time. The rule book is not omnipotent, and there is still a long way to go...

"But at least, there are two things that can be done now. And she has already done it."

Xu Ming said, looking at the mutual aid box on the wall again, with a more obvious smile.

"First, release the rules in your own story, and use your own way to influence the rules of this story.

"Second, expand the entrance to the story.

"Expand an entrance that allows other beings to enter unknowingly."

- At the same time.

On the other side.

In the living room on the 26th floor of the haunted building.

On the sofa, the whale man wearing a work badge sat upright, next to him was the "cat" who was tied tightly, with a look of resentment in his cloudy eyes; opposite was Panpan's mother, who was seriously sorting out the written materials on the coffee table and humming a song.

Next to Panpan's mother was Gu Yunshu, who sat back, hugged his arms, and pursed his lips. He exuded an inexplicable aura of reliability, and it seemed that "peace of mind" was written all over his body. But

the whale man was not at ease at all.

Because through the closed door, he clearly saw the light coming from under the door.

The white light came from nowhere, and it made people feel creepy just by looking at it. Not to mention that the white light was getting stronger and stronger as time went by, swaying outside the door like an irritable fish.

"Do you want to turn on the light?" - Finally, the fish spoke.

At the moment of speaking, there was a knock on the door. The sound of "dong dong dong" fell on the door panel, and every knock made the whale man's face jump wildly -

"Do you want to turn on the light?"

"Do you want to turn on the light?"

"You you you want to turn on the light?"

"Hurry up and turn on the light, turn on the light quickly, turn on the light quickly, turn on the light quickly, light up, light is a gift, light is growth -"

With the faster and faster speech speed and louder and louder voices, the whale man's heart beat faster and faster, until finally, he couldn't help but jump onto the sofa, covering his face and making a "嘤" sound...

On the other side, as if sensing its collapse, the light finally made a new move.

Like water, it passed through the gap under the door and quickly and quietly entered the door.

Looking down, one can clearly see the blubber man squatting on the sofa, a perfect meal. So the ball of light swam faster, and the moment it completely entered the room, what was seen in front of it suddenly changed -

the sofa was gone, and the coffee table was gone. The entire living room disappeared, replaced by a huge screen. There

was no picture on the screen, only a faint light. It was pitch black all around, and the outlines of several rows of seats could be vaguely seen. It stood up blankly, condensed the light into a pure white hand, and stood on the ground looking left and right, still a little confused about the situation.

Something seemed to be crawling in the darkness. Strange smells surged from all directions, accompanied by the girls' giggles and whispers; faintly, the music of the amusement park's carousel seemed to be heard, as if coming from a faraway place.

Those smells were getting closer, cold and gloomy, carrying the arrogance and ridicule from the strong. The bare hand lying on the ground shrank a little, but the palm with eyes turned faster.

Where, where... Those things were getting closer and closer, almost coming over, where are they...

The fingers curled up silently. It was clearly a hunting organ, but at this moment, it inexplicably gave rise to the feeling of wanting to escape.

"Hello." At this moment, a very soft voice sounded - the tense palm immediately turned to the source of the voice, and then found that it was a girl.

The girl in school uniform sat in the corner farthest from it, staring at the empty screen, and her voice was soft and faint.

"Hello." She didn't look at the strange hand, but just mechanically repeated her words, "My name is Guo Shuyi."

"Guo of the city, Shu of the stretch, Yi of the grass radical..."

The moment the words fell, the surroundings darkened again, and the next moment, the screen in front of her suddenly lit up again, and the face of the strange girl almost filled the entire screen, with a smile on her lips and dark eyes.

The low laughter of the women around him became more and more shrill and wild. The bare hand almost froze in place, staring blankly at the screen in front of him. The corners of the girl's mouth opened and closed mechanically:

"Nice to meet you."
