Chapter 63
"Uh..." Lu Yueling looked at Xu Ming's actions in a daze, still a little unresponsive, "Sorry, I may not have heard you clearly just now. What you mean is..." "
It means that from now on, I want to be Guo Shuyi." Xu Ming said seriously, folding his hands on his chest, closing his eyes and leaning down steadily. He paused for a few seconds, but sat up again, took out the rule book again, and began to trace it on the book with great effort.
Soon, another rough blank work card was produced. She simply wrote her initials on it and handed the work card to Lu Yueling.
"Help me observe the situation later. If I look strange, change your ID card to this one."
Xu Ming instructed seriously. Seeing Lu Yueling nod, he immediately lay back down and began to mutter to himself:
"In the Ghost Talk Demolition Office, the ID card is a proof of identity. The identity of a person should be consistent with the name on the ID card...
" "In other words, I am Guo Shuyi, Guo Shuyi is me. I am Guo Shuyi..."
Similar sentences were repeated several times, and then Xu Ming suddenly frowned. After a moment, there was no sound.
Lu Yueling next to him was amazed and even her eyes widened slightly.
"Oh my god!" She whispered, leaning over and carefully observing Xu Ming's expression, "I knew this guy would do this!"
"...No, thank you. "
Xu Ming murmured with his eyes closed.
Lu Yueling was so frightened that she stood up instantly. After a pause, she said, "So you are awake!"
She thought Xu Ming had fallen asleep again.
"No." Xu Ming replied softly, but his eyes were still closed, "I'm just looking at the memories."
Lu Yueling: "?"
"Extra memories." Xu Ming added an explanation, and his voice gradually lowered, "Xiao Guo is right. After immersing myself in this identity, I can indeed see more things..."
But... it's not enough.
What she has now is still too fragmented. There are only unfamiliar pictures and the accompanying emotions, but it is difficult to get more information.
Can I see more?
What if I immerse myself a little more?
Put myself in more. Immerse myself a little more - I will continue to emphasize again, I am Guo Shuyi.
I am Guo Shuyi.
I am Guo Shuyi.
I am Guo Shuyi.
I...
my name is Guo Shuyi. Guo of the city, Shu of the stretch, Yi of the grass radical.
I opened my eyes and found myself in a I was in a small, closed room. The door was locked and the windows were nailed shut. I sat on the bed made of cardboard boxes and finally remembered why I was here.
Yes, I was kidnapped.
I had to remember this. I had been trapped here for three... or four days? Anyway, I was very hungry and dizzy. But I knew I couldn't sleep.
I had to find a way to escape.
I bent down and took out a schoolbag from under the cardboard box bed. That was my schoolbag, which the girl next door brought back for me - I don't know how she did it, the first time I spoke to her, she only said... I would cry against the wall. I wanted to think of a solution with her, but she ignored me.
I had no choice but to think on my own. But I was helpless at the time. I had nothing on me except the clothes on my body. Not only my schoolbag, but even the keys in my pocket were taken away by the kidnapper. I had no choice.
It was probably yesterday when the girl next door finally stopped crying. I curiously pressed against the wall to listen to her situation, but I heard her ask me if I had thought of a way out. I thought about it and told her that I might have, provided that I could get my schoolbag.
I didn't lie to her. There is in my bag Water, plastic rope for stringing beads, and sodium that I stole from my dad's laboratory. I think these things must be useful.
The girl said "Oh" and didn't speak to me again. I knew I was daydreaming, so I didn't say anything else.
But this morning - judging from the light coming through the window, I thought it should be morning, she suddenly knocked on the wall and asked me to look at the corner.
There, I saw my schoolbag.
To be honest, I was stunned at the time. I had no idea how she did it. I asked her, but she didn't answer, she just said that this was all she could do.
"You... hold on tight. "
These were the last words she said to me.
After that, no matter how much I knocked on the wall, I couldn't hear her voice anymore.
It was a bit weird. To be precise, it was extremely weird. But at this moment, I couldn't care less.
Just like the girl next door said, I have to hurry up - the kidnapper opens a door every day, and then you can hear a girl's scream. According to the distance calculation, it will be my turn today.
Huh, wait. Then the door next door should have been opened yesterday...but the girl next to me...eh? Huh?
No, no, don't think about it, retract your thoughts, retract your thoughts. What I need to think about most now is how to escape.
Fortunately, I got my schoolbag back. I have simulated the usable mechanisms in my mind countless times, and all I have to do next is to arrange and wait -
waiting for that door to open. Waiting for its arrival.
…The door opened. It came.
Everything that followed went smoothly, so smoothly that it seemed like a dream. The sound of the mechanism being triggered, the sound of sodium burning, and the sound of the metal door being slammed shut by me. My brain could hardly react, and I just instinctively kept backing away, and then at a certain moment, I turned around and ran out.
When I turned around, I saw the room next to me. The door was open, and it was empty inside, with dried blood on the ground.
My heart, which was already beating wildly, skipped a beat, but I didn't dare to think about it, nor did I have time to think about it. I just seized the time and ran out as fast as I could.
When I ran out of the workshop door, I finally knew where I was. This looked like a factory that no one wanted. It was raining heavily outside, and the raindrops hit the rusty metal placed in the open air, making a ping-pong sound.
I didn't dare to stop, I didn't dare to stop at all, even if I fell, I was still running forward desperately. I ran out of the factory area and ran to the cement road outside. I don't know how long I ran, and finally I saw people other than me -
There is a bus stop about a hundred meters away. A bus just stopped, and people waiting for the bus were collecting their umbrellas and getting on the bus.
In a rural area like this, it often takes a long time for a bus to come. I didn't dare to delay, so I quickly shouted and ran towards it while shouting -
but after running a short distance, I couldn't go any further.
It seemed like there was a wall in front of me. A transparent wall. It stood there straight, thick and hard, with no boundaries.
I had no choice but to continue shouting at the top of my lungs while hammering. But no one heard me. No one heard me.
They were getting on the bus. It was the last two people in line. My hands felt like they were knocking on stones, the edges of my palms were red, and a piece of skin was scraped off my knuckles.
Look at me. Look here. I'm right here. I'm right here.
The last person got on the bus. The door closed with a loud noise.
And behind me, footsteps were heard.
...Why.
I could have been saved. I was almost there.
Why didn't you look at me?
Why didn't you look at me? Look at me, look at me, look at me, save me, save me, anyone can save me, I want to live, I want to live, I want to be seen, I...
My name is Guo Shuyi.
Guo of city walls, Shu of stretch, Yi with the grass radical.
I opened my eyes and found myself in a small, closed room. I...Yes, I remember, I was kidnapped.
What should I do next?
I, um, am Guo Shuyi. Guo of city walls, Shu of stretch...Huh?
In the secluded space, the girl who was rummaging through her schoolbag paused and turned her head slightly.
She thought she heard a sound, but it was not clear, and she could only make out some vague pronunciation.
...Ming.
...Xu Ming.
...Who is Xu Ming?
She looked up blankly at the void where the sound continued to emanate.
She didn't know who Xu Ming was. But it seemed that something in her consciousness began to tremble with the repeated calls, like a seedling awakening in spring, trying its best to break through the soil.
She couldn't help but frown and hugged her head. Instinctively, she wanted to open her mouth to speak, but the voice that came out was that of an adult woman. She looked up in shock, only to see that the room, which had been impregnable, was now shaking wildly, cracking and collapsing piece by piece.
"Xu Ming? Xu Ming!" The voice became more urgent, "Hey, are you okay? Don't scare me... If you do this again, I'll slap you?!"
...Don't call me that. No, I'm Guo Shuyi. Guo of the city! Shu of stretching! Ming of the dark! I, I...
Who am I?
The more she thought about it, the more confused her thoughts became, and the world collapsed faster and faster. Before she could come up with an answer, the ground under her feet suddenly shattered completely, and she fell down uncontrollably -
she fell into an artificial lake. A feeling of suffocation followed, and the security lights flashed not far away, but no one saw her in the lake.
The next second, the lake water also collapsed piece by piece. She continued to fall. She fell into the seat of the cinema. She held the medicine bottle in her shaking hands, but she didn't even have the strength to open it. The light from the screen illuminated the profiles of other people, but they were so far away from her.
With a clang. The entire cinema sank. She fell again, and when she reacted, she was already standing in the room of the B&B, trying to unlock the door chain, with terrifying footsteps behind her; followed by another fall and transformation, she appeared in a closed suitcase, outside was the music of an amusement park and loud laughter, no matter how hard she tried to make the suitcase make a sound, it seemed that no one heard it...
Over and over again. She kept falling. The scene kept changing.
She experienced different scenes, but similar emotions piled up one after another.
Until finally, she opened her eyes. She found herself standing in that factory.
Unlike before, she was standing outside the room this time.
She was wearing a baggy coat, her too-long trousers dragged on the ground, her long nails poked forward, and in front of her nails, there was a strange girl.
She was unconscious and had no consciousness at all. She stood there blankly, her mind was still blank, but she almost instinctively knew what to do next -
she watched herself move mechanically and put the girl into the small room with stacked cardboard boxes. She went to another room, found a familiar schoolbag, and put it next to the girl. Then she closed the door and waited outside numbly, despite the various subtle sounds of fiddling with the mechanisms inside. Only when the sounds ended did she stand up and push the door open again...
The mechanism was triggered. She was trapped. The girl ran out.
She was not in a hurry, so she just stood there and waited quietly. When it was almost time, she dragged her feet and chased after her, all the way to the cement road near the bus stop -
just in time to see the girl passing the bus stop and gradually running away.
She didn't chase after her, but just stood there and watched quietly. The heart that had been immersed in pain was finally a little happier.
It was like a person who had been taking medicine and finally got a little bit of sugar.
But this happiness was too short-lived - almost at the moment when the girl's back disappeared, the sweet feeling also instantly receded.
...Not enough.
This thought came to her mind almost naturally.
Not enough, not enough yet. I want more...I have to grab more...
"Xu Ming?! Xu Ming!"
The anxious cry rang out again, but this time, there was obviously something else mixed in the voice -
"Ring, ring, ring!"
The rapid ringing sound passed through her mind like lightning, and Xu Ming was startled and suddenly opened his eyes.
"Thank God, you are finally awake!" Lu Yueling, who was guarding nearby, immediately showed a relieved expression, "Wait, I'm dead, should I thank Prince Yan?"
Xu Ming: "..."
The chaotic memories were still swirling in her mind, making her not even in the mood to complain. She supported herself on the bed with both hands and sat up carefully. It took her a long time to finally come out of those painful and chaotic scenes.
"So, what was that ringing sound just now?" She rubbed her forehead and looked down in front of her. Sure enough, the work badge with "Guo Shuyi" written on it had been replaced.
"Oh, that's it!" Lu Yueling immediately picked up something to show her - a long hair with a small bell tied on it.
The hair was given by Lu Yueling. The bell was funded by Landor. As for this method, Lu Yueling simplified it based on the mechanism Xu Ming used to catch monsters.
"Didn't you use this to wake yourself up at that time? I thought that maybe this bell itself has some special function, so I shook it to try it out." Lu Yueling said, "Fortunately, it actually worked. I'm so smart."
God knows, when she saw Xu Ming's state as if she was possessed by a ghost, she was dumbfounded. She quickly changed her work badge as instructed, but it was useless. She tried to slap her twice, but she couldn't wake her up.
If the bell hadn't worked, she would have considered splashing water on someone the next second.
Xu Ming: "..."
"Thank you anyway." Xu Ming was silent for a moment, and finally spoke again, his voice still a little hoarse, "I was too careless this time. I'm so sorry for you. Otherwise, I really don't know what would have happened..."
Lu Yueling: "..."
"You're welcome." She stared at Xu Ming's face, said hesitantly, and pointed at her eyes, "But you don't have to be moved to tears, right?" "
?" Xu Ming was startled, and quickly touched his face. Sure enough, he touched a little water.
"Are you still scared?" Lu Yueling guessed and sat down on the bed again, "You were just looking at Guo Shuyi's memory, right? What did you see?"
Xu Ming: "..."
"I saw it, their nightmares." After a few seconds of pause, Xu Ming said softly, "You're right, the feeling of being so close to being rescued is really torturous." What
's even more torturous is that because of being trapped in a nightmare constructed by rules, this painful feeling cannot be relieved and can only continue.
"? What do you mean?" Lu Yueling sat up straight, "Do you know why Guo Shuyi turned evil?"
"... She didn't turn evil." Xu Ming pursed his lips, but said, "At least not now."
Lu Yueling frowned in confusion: "But she has been chasing and killing other people in the bathroom..."
"There was a chase, but she didn't kill anyone." Xu Ming exhaled, "I saw it all."
The last part of that memory clearly belonged to the monster Guo Shuyi - she didn't actually "erase" anyone as Tian Yiliang said. She just took them away.
Let them play Guo Shuyi, and she played the kidnapper. Re-enact her original escape, watching others play herself "escape", in order to gain a brief happiness. Then turn around, catch other people, and repeat the process again.
And those girls who run away will actually return to the ghost story, clear their memories, and start fleeing in various worlds again, avoiding monsters, looking for transmission points, relying on small mutual aid boxes, and helping each other "survive" as much as possible.
Until they are "killed" by monsters, they start all over again, or are taken away by Guo Shuyi to play a role-playing game that they are not aware of.
Circle after circle, it eventually forms an unsolvable cycle.
"... So confusing." Lu Yueling opened her mouth slightly, and even her hair couldn't help but hang in the shape of a question mark, "But Guo Shuyi... why did she do this?"
"I don't know either." Xu Ming shook his head, "But I guess, maybe it's similar to what you did before."
Because of the pain and discomfort of the cognition of "almost being saved". This pain resonated strongly with the nightmares of others. Similar emotions overlapped and eventually intertwined into a strong chain, all pressing on Guo Shuyi until she could no longer bear it.
She could not change the rules left by the previous domain master because she herself was trapped in a similar nightmare.
"..." Lu Yueling actually still didn't understand, but still asked responsibly, "So?"
"So... maybe we can change our thinking to solve this weird problem?"
Lu Yueling just asked casually, but Xu Ming continued to think about it, wiped his eyes hard, and murmured again:
"This matter can actually be understood this way. Guo Shuyi lost control because she was still in the nightmare created by the murderer. If we can free them all from the nightmare, Guo Shuyi might regain consciousness."
Guo Shuyi is the current domain master. If she is awake, all problems will naturally be solved.
Of course, this is under the most ideal circumstances.
"Then what should we do?" Lu Yueling immediately raised the most critical question, and then pursed her lips, "Didn't you say that the most painful thing for her was that she didn't run away at that time? What if we can go to that factory, pretend to be Guo Shuyi, and run away again?"
"...It may not work." Xu Ming pondered for a while, but shook his head, "If it works, she won't rehearse the same script over and over again."
This is just a short-term and illusory comfort for Guo Shuyi.
"Then what should we do?" Lu Yueling tilted her head, "I can't just shake her and tell her to wake up quickly."
"...Actually, I have thought of a way." Xu Ming thought for a while, but said.
For some reason, his tone was a little hesitant: "It's just... it might be a little risky."
Lu Yueling: "?"
"First, I have to confirm whether Da Guo and Xiao Guo still have their work badges..."
On the other side, Xu Ming seemed to have made up his mind and exhaled deeply: "Also, if it's convenient, please write a note for me and put it in the mutual aid box."
"Huh? Sure." Lu Yueling was confused, but still stood up cooperatively, "What clues do you want to write?"
"It's not a clue, it's a demand." Xu Ming said, "I hope that the person who sees this note can help me."
"No matter where they are now, I hope that they can copy the rules of their world and share them with me."
*
Xu Ming is serious.
As for what will happen next, she actually only has a vague idea, and it is a very risky idea. But no matter what, if you want to realize this idea, you must collect as many rules as possible.
The rules of the B&B are the most convenient to obtain, and you can copy them; as for the school, Xu Ming has photos saved in his phone. Lu Yueling only has a rough memory of the theater's rules, and her mind is full of magical promotional videos. Fortunately, Da Guo was in the theater at the time, and he quickly communicated through his work badge and provided an accurate version of the rules.
At this time, Xiao Guo was sneaking around in an empty bar. After receiving Xu Ming's message, she bravely walked through most of the dark bar, found the corresponding rules, and copied them to Xu Ming through her work badge.
She also asked Lando, and it was said that the rules had not been found yet, so Xu Ming had to wait. But no matter what, it was always good news to know that Tian Yiliang was still in the abandoned park - Xu Ming even asked Lando to bring a message to Tian Yiliang, saying that they now have new ideas and asked him to be patient.
As for the rules of other worlds, they can only be collected through the mutual aid box.
Xu Ming wrote down his needs on paper, and in order to avoid the information being changed, he specially added the signature of "Strange Talk Demolition Office" and carefully put it in the mutual aid box. After waiting for about three hours, there was indeed a small piece of paper with the rules of the strange world written on it in the box; after another two hours, there were two more.
When Xu Ming finally counted them, he had collected five pieces of rule paper through the mutual aid box. However, three of them were duplicates - one was also the rules of the amusement park, and the other two had exactly the same content, but the handwriting on the paper was different. Xu Ming guessed that most of the time, a kind-hearted person saw his needs and the rules provided by others, and was afraid that the note with the rules written on it would not float over, so he specially copied a copy by hand to help increase the probability.
In this way, the rules collected by Xu Ming reached schools, homestays, cinemas, playgrounds, bars, small parks, and commercial streets.
However, new problems soon followed - first, there were still some rules to be done on Lando's side; second, she couldn't confirm whether there were still a few worlds missing from her own rules.
Like the "abandoned factory" that Tian Yiliang had mentioned, she hadn't collected any information at all... This made Xu Ming feel a little worried.
So, after sorting out the rules at hand, she quickly took out the rule book again and tried to contact Lando again.
When Lando received the message on his work badge, he was taking the little Pomeranian to search through the bushes in the park, trying to find any sign with the rules written on it. Seeing Xu Ming asking again, a rare trace of guilt flashed across his face. After a slight hesitation, he still honestly took the umbrella as a token in his hand.
"Landuo?" Xu Ming's voice quickly rang in her mind, "Have you made any progress on the rules over there?"
"...Not yet." Landuo lowered his head slightly, "Sorry, I'm still looking."
"Oh...It's okay, don't apologize." Xu Ming paused, and said quickly, "There should be still time."
The homestay where she is now is relatively safe, and the rules are easy to deal with. She doesn't want to be in such a hurry when she is in school; what's more, she only has some ideas now, and is not absolutely sure. There are still many things that need to be arranged and thought about, so this set of rules is indeed not that urgent.
However, Xu Ming thought about it carefully and still found it a little strange: "But the rules of other worlds are quite conspicuous. Why do they seem to be so hard to find in your world?"
"I don't know." Lando said truthfully, and continued to search in the bushes while speaking, "Mr. Tian said that it might be because this is an abandoned park, and the rules cannot be embedded logically... eh?"
Before he finished speaking, his eyes suddenly swept across a piece of paper nailed to the tree, and he hurried over.
The paper was very thick, but yellowed and old, with a few lines of printed bold words on it. A closer look revealed that it was the relevant rules of this park.
"...No, the wording is more like the street rules of the surrounding area." Xu Ming used Landor's eyes to carefully study the contents of the paper, memorizing every word on it, and soon noticed something was wrong, "There are traces of tearing on this paper. Why does it feel like it was torn from somewhere and placed here?"
Landor took a look, and it was true. Turning the paper over and taking a closer look, the two soon made a new discovery - they saw that on the back of the paper, a line of words was written lightly with a ballpoint pen.
[Sorry, I still plan to act according to the original plan.
[Different concepts, no need to go together. I wish you all the best.
[Tian. ]
Xu Ming: "..."
So, what does this mean?
Xu Ming's brain turned quickly, but at least one thing was certain - this paper was put here by Tian Yiliang.
He had already found the relevant rules of this world, but chose to keep it secret. Until now, he let it appear in front of Landor with his message.
The question is, what was the original plan?
Xu Ming's heart moved, and he suddenly had some bad premonitions. Just as he was about to ask Tian Yiliang about his current situation, he suddenly heard some laughter coming from not far away.
Landor froze, and instinctively covered his face and stood behind the tree beside him. Xu Ming shared his five senses, but he immediately felt something was wrong:
"Wait a minute, what was that sound just now? A girl?"
"...Hmm." Lando peeked out from behind the tree, then quickly retracted his gaze and nervously touched the bell on his neck, "It should be someone from a nearby school. They just got out of school."
"School?" Xu Ming's tone suddenly became more subtle, "What school? Adjust your perspective so I can see."
Lando followed his instructions and walked out from behind the tree, raising his head in one direction. With his eyes, Xu Ming finally saw that not far from the current small park, behind the layers of overlapping treetops, there was indeed a school building. A
completely unfamiliar building. The name burned on the building was very familiar to Xu Ming.
South City No. 1 High School. The best high school in South City, and also the only key high school in the city.
——And Guo Shuyi herself is said to be studying in a key high school in South City.
"...Landuo, where is Tian Yiliang?"
After a brief silence, Xu Ming finally spoke again, but this time his voice was obviously a bit flustered: "Where is Tian Yiliang?"
"...He went to that school." Landuo was infected by her tone, and although he didn't understand why, he still speeded up his speech, "He said that the passers-by who are going to die this round are likely to be among those students, and he wants to go over and check the situation first..."
"..."
The brain buzzed instantly. If it weren't because he was sharing the five senses with Landuo at this moment, Xu Ming would have punched himself in the head.
"What the hell!" She swears for the first time, "He's screwed us!"
What purpose is to destroy the root of this weird story, what about going to the factory but missing some information... all fake!
"This is Guo Shuyi's world!" Xu Ming said quickly, "He knew it a long time ago, but he has been hiding it from us, and now he is acting on his own! He must want to do something behind your back, he..."
Before he finished speaking, Xu Ming stopped again.
Differences in concepts. This is what Tian Yiliang said. In their previous communication, there seemed to be only one point of clear disagreement - Xu Ming clearly said that he did not want to deal with the ghost story by harming the domain master, and Tian Yiliang seemed to have reservations about this.
... And this world is most likely Guo Shuyi's own world.
It is known that Guo Shuyi once wove beautiful dreams for other girls, separated their identities, and put the part of them that still belonged to humans into it; it is also known that because of Guo Shuyi's loss of control, no one can enter the world where they died, and the monsters corresponding to the dead have also remained in that world. As long as the rules are violated, they will definitely appear.
Guo Shuyi himself usually appears in the form of a bathroom monster, shuttling between bathrooms, constantly dragging people into his nightmares... Therefore, Xu Ming overlooked one thing from the beginning, a thing that Tian Yiliang deliberately concealed. Guo Shuyi himself was
probably also divided into two parts.
One half was the monster that was wandering in the bathroom, with the strength and pressure of a domain master, and it was impossible to beat it; the other half was in an unknown state. At present, it is likely to be a monster of the same level as the small bosses in other worlds -
in Landor's words, it cannot break the defense, but if it can be broken, it is not difficult to deal with it.
"To death." The more Xu Ming thought about it, the more his forehead swelled. "Could he be trying to kill this part of Guo Shuyi first, and then use that to deal with the other half of Guo Shuyi?"
"Hmm..." Landor tried his best to respond, but in fact, he didn't understand much after "Guo Shuyi himself might also have two halves."
But there was one thing he figured out, Xu Ming was in a hurry now.
So he didn't care about anything else, picked up the little Pomeranian that was sniffing on the ground, turned around and rushed towards the school.
After running about a hundred steps, he finally came to his senses, pondered for a while, and felt a little strange again.
"But if it is a monster triggered by rules, outsiders cannot launch an effective attack on it." Landor continued to hurry on, and said to Xu Ming, "Mr. Tian should know this."
"That's why I panicked because he knew it." Xu Ming said, "I can't be sure if he is going to kill Guo Shuyi, but if so, it means that he must have mastered a way to kill him." Otherwise,
with the experience in the amusement park, he would not have to challenge the impossible again. Judging from Tian Yiliang's performance, he doesn't seem like the kind of person who would repeat the same mistakes.
"..." Landor paused after hearing this.
He suddenly remembered the conversation with Tian Yiliang not long ago - at that time, the other party said that his short sword was a derivative obtained from the mutant root, and once it was successfully used, a price must be paid.
...But what if we understand this in reverse?
If you pay a price, you can use it successfully. The "heavier" the existence that falls under the sword, the greater the price he has to pay.
His eyebrows jumped, and he quickly told Xu Ming about it. Xu Ming also "hissed" when he heard it, and it was obvious that he felt even worse.
"Don't tell me he's going to risk his life..." Xu Ming had the urge to bang his head against the table, "What kind of thing is this."
No matter what, Tian Yiliang must not succeed.
Xu Ming made up his mind in almost a flash.
No matter how Tian Yiliang figured out this method, no matter whether this method is useful or not, she didn't want to go that far.
Guo Shuyi has been sinking in the pain of being unable to be saved for too long. It would be too cruel if the last thing she saw was a knife from someone else.
"Anyway, go stop him first!" Xu Ming tried to calm his mind and spoke as quickly as possible, "After you stop him, tell him that his method doesn't work. Killing Guo Shuyi's clone will only lead to the original's rage, and everything will only get worse! That's it!"
"Really?" Lando was surprised, "How did you know? So amazing."
"I don't know!" Xu Ming roared in his head, "But you have to think of a reason to stop him!"
As they spoke, the two had already arrived at the road outside the abandoned park. On the sidewalks on both sides, students who were leaving school could be seen walking together in groups of three or two, their figures swaying gently like small trees. When they saw Lando, they would wave at him and call him "Guo Shuyi."
Landuo responded hastily, holding up the hem of her skirt and trying to hurry towards the school, while worrying: "But what if he doesn't believe what I said..."
"If he doesn't believe it, just use any method to hold him back. Whether it's to attract hatred or coercion or inducement, just make him focus on you!"
Xu Ming finished speaking, and his voice suddenly disappeared. Landuo was stunned for a moment, and tried to call out twice in his mind, but got no response.
- On the other side.
Xu Ming, who had cut off the connection with consciousness, took a deep breath and suddenly opened his eyes. His sight fell on the pile of rules neatly arranged on the table, and he couldn't help rubbing his eyebrows.
I don't know if Landuo will be able to stop him in time. It seems that he has to rush.
Fortunately, the communication with Landor just now did not last too long. Although I was a little tired, my brain could still be used... Xu Ming thought silently, reached out to find a piece of white paper, called Lu Yueling next to him, and asked her to help write down the rules she had just seen from Landor, and put them into the pile of paper in front of her.
Then she closed her eyes and took a deep breath.
"?" Lu Yueling looked at her nervously, "What's wrong with you? You look like you are going to the execution ground."
"Almost." Xu Ming said, and completely removed the gauze on his right hand. After thinking for a while, he took out the work card with Guo Shuyi's name on it and hung it around his neck again.
"!" Seeing her like this, Lu Yueling became more nervous: "What are you going to do again?"
"Pretend that I am Guo Shuyi." Xu Ming pursed his lips, "Maybe I can cheat these rules."
Lu Yueling: "...So why do you cheat them?"
Xu Ming did not answer, but silently recited "I am the domain master, the domain master is me", while raising the pen, pulling out a piece of paper from the pile next to him, lowering his head and carefully pressing the tip of the pen down.
The wound on his right hand has not yet healed. There is pain from adhesion during the movement.
Xu Ming was afraid of triggering the monster in the current homestay again, so he deliberately chose the rules of another world, and wrote them carefully with every stroke.

[If you see a girl slipping and falling into the lake, please save her.
[If you see a girl calling for help in the water -
[Please save her. ]
