Chapter 1115 White-Haired Old Ghost
There are only nine copies of the map, all in the hands of the store manager, which means that two (three) people in the same store basically have to act in unison.
Now the content of the mission is basically clear - the mission goal, the screen world, and the use of ghost cards.
But there is still one most lacking information, and no explanation has been given.
The figure of the white-haired old ghost was almost completely hidden in the peach forest. He had not spoken since the last time he spoke, but he did not disappear either.
Until, Hou Guisheng once again raised a question, which is also the question that everyone has always been concerned about:
"Where is Ruru's mother's detailed hiding place?"
Since it is the main line, it must have a direction.
Most people here have never been to the fourth floor, but they also know that once they enter the screen world, it is a huge space.
Even if you can't give the detailed location of Ruru's mother at the beginning, you can at least point out an area or direction, otherwise it will be like finding a needle in a haystack.
If this mission requires breaking into a supernatural forbidden area and exploring Ruru's mother's hiding place, this is simply impossible.
Even those who are performing tasks now are all masters among masters.
Asked again, the white-haired old ghost did not avoid answering Hou Guisheng's questions this time as before.
“There are ten branches, and I will only answer one question for each one.
Store manager Hou Guisheng, are you sure you are asking about Ruru's mother or about my identity? "
Q&A time.
The white-haired old ghost was really like a guide for this mission, giving each of the ten branches an answer link.
As the first person to step forward, Hou Guisheng had to choose one of the two most critical issues.
But he didn't think for long and decisively chose the issue of Ruru's mother.
After hearing this reply, the tone of the white-haired old ghost changed significantly, and he simply said:
"As I said before, she is inside the screen. End of answer. Next one."
Although you can't see its appearance clearly, you can feel a hint of ridicule just by listening to its tone and words.
And this answer caused an uproar on the fourth floor.
Things turned out to be hellish from the beginning.
What store managers have to face is to find a needle in a haystack, and the sea water will drown people.
It is already very difficult to find someone in the screen world without a destination or a sense of direction.
What's more, in a place with 32 supernatural forbidden places, you have to try and make mistakes through life and death again and again?
How can this be done...
Hou Guisheng's face was as gloomy as water. The number of questions asked by the third branch was exhausted, so he could only return to his original position.
The next person to stand up was Xue Tingtao from the fourth branch, but he did not speak because his face was extremely pale.
The person who really asked the question on behalf of the fourth branch was Wei Guang, who had just entered the hotel.
In the mission of becoming an immortal that just ended, the ability shown by this former criminal police captain has already attracted people's attention.
Although he is not able to amaze everyone, his judgment, decision-making and execution ability in the middle of the mission have long been enough to illustrate his personal strength.
Wei Guang's originally messy hair has been shaved off, leaving only a layer of green stubble, making him look much drier.
"The former fifth branch manager Li Congrong once left a mark at a certain location on the map——
‘The red circle is a forbidden area, you can move freely, there is no solution for ghosts, and you will die if you go there. ’
This is his personal experience, but you just said that all supernatural events have a way out.
How to explain this? "
Wei Guang's question was very clever. He not only asked about the special nature of the red circle forbidden area, but also asked about the nature of existing supernatural events.
Are the supernatural events in this mission consistent with the supernatural events that Li Yi and others experienced before?
If they are consistent, then store managers can know the situation of the 11 forbidden areas in advance, so as to better plan the route.
The answer given by the white-haired old ghost this time will make everyone breathe a sigh of relief:
"All supernatural events have a way out, and what I say shall prevail."
The implication is that Li Congrong's words were wrong. The red forbidden area he marked really has a way to survive, but he just doesn't have the ability to do it.
At the fifth branch closest to the fourth branch, Li Guanqi stepped forward. For a moment, his eyes met with the retreating Wei Guang, and at the same time he asked the third question:
"After entering the screen, is there any chance we can return to the fourth floor corridor?"
Li Guanqi's problem is deep.
Because he had a suspicion in his heart that maybe Ruru's mother was in the screen, but not in the screen world.
This sentence sounds a bit awkward, but "screen" and "screen world" are two different concepts. No one knows which one the white-haired old ghost is referring to.
He was worried whether this was a play on words.
Let the store managers fight to the death in the screen world. In fact, Ruru's mother is embedded in the screen wall, making everyone's work in vain.
"You cannot return to the fourth floor during a supernatural event. You can enter and exit at will during the rest of the time."
When it was the turn of the sixth branch, at Luo Xian's signal, Bai Huaiguang asked the fourth question:
"As the ghost who explains the rules, have you explained all the rules clearly?"
Bai Huaiguang didn't want to be exposed in front of others, so he stood in the queue when he asked questions, but the matter he asked was very important.
There is no guarantee that a ghost will not harm people, even if it is an explainer.
The white-haired old ghost didn't hide it this time. His invisible face was obviously full of smiles at the moment. Before he could speak, there was a sneer:
“Every rule is stated, nothing is left out, no trap, nothing is hidden.”
As for Su Chenghe from the second branch, he asked the question that Hou Guisheng had given up before:
"Why are you the one explaining the task rules?"
But the white-haired old ghost's answer to this question was unexpected.
"Because I am the owner of this screen."
…
The next few questions are basically about further pursuit of the rules and some understanding of the forbidden areas.
However, in the first and ninth branches, the most eye-catching ones, Li Yi and Gu Xingjian, did not speak during the question-and-answer session.
The people who came to the first branch were Li Yi and Xu Nan. They gave up immediately and gave up the precious number of questions.
The people who came to the ninth branch were Gu Xingjian and Huang Banxian. Only Huang Banxian asked a very ordinary question. It was obviously his own idea and not Gu Xingjian's instruction.
When the question-and-answer session ended, the peach forest on the screen disappeared instantly, including the white-haired old ghost who gave the lecture.
The screen has returned to the ordinary. It is like a Chinese style painting, showing neither mountains nor water. It puts all the weirdness and suspense into the internal world, waiting for people to explore.
After about ten minutes, most of the nineteen people on the fourth floor had disappeared.
The first, second, third, fourth, fifth, eighth and ninth, a total of fourteen people from these seven branches entered the screen world first.
The fourth floor immediately fell into silence, leaving only the sixth, seventh and tenth, but the number of people became an odd number of "5".
When Luo Xian came towards him with Bai Huaiguang, there was a slight smile on his face, but his words came before the person arrived:
"Manager Ji, as I said last time, I hope that one day you and I can truly cooperate.
I think now is the best time. "
Everyone has a reason to fight for it, but everyone also has a need to cooperate for it. This is the charm of interests.
Even if there is only one piece of the puzzle, there is still a long period of exploration before the final battle.
Cooperation is a very important and common thing.
For example, the second, fifth, and eighth branches have already reached a cooperative relationship.
Ji Li had no reason to refuse. After nodding lightly, he moved his gaze to the screen and asked Luo Xian:
"What do you think?"
Luo Xian unzipped the handbag, took out a grape and put it into his mouth, chewed it slowly and said:
"I think the first step is to find the old ghost with white hair."
From previous experiences, it is not difficult to find that the white-haired old ghost is not only a rule explainer, but also the master of the screen.
And this screen is a sinful object, and the entire screen world is originally a huge supernatural forbidden place.
Someone once mentioned:
"The screen on the fourth floor, a sinful object of this level cannot be used by anyone."
But things are different now. The owner of the screen, the white-haired old ghost, has appeared, and so has the ghost card.
Then it is entirely possible that it will be included in the ghost card.
If Ji Li can do this and control the "giant supernatural forbidden area" of the screen, then finding Ruru's mother will no longer be a cumbersome process.
On this trip, the only thing that needs to be conquered is the white-haired old ghost, this one ghost.
