Chapter 398 I Am Very Disappointed in You
The wind blew from Li Yi's direction, and Ji Li's hair was tangled.
He couldn't see his face clearly from more than ten steps away, but he heard every word clearly.
Ji Li was no longer able to refuse this time. He once thought that he had the bronze coffin in his hand, and anyone or any ghost was qualified to fight.
The appearance of Li Yi and the appearance of Gu Xingjian made him realize that he was far from being able to mediate between the two.
Killing anyone would be like killing a pig or a dog.
This feeling made Ji Li very painful. He felt powerless from the bottom of his heart, and after a moment, he glowed with an unprecedented resistance.
Just like the Kyoto mission, when he first met Haruyama Mirai, he guessed his fate by palm reading.
Fang Shenyan believed in fate, so he had nothing, was alone, and ended up like this today.
He no longer coveted anything.
Ji Li was different. He believed in fate, but he also believed that fate was only in his own hands.
So he had to find, fight, and go on painfully, to find back everything he had lost, to find back the truth hidden in the long river of time.
"Today, you have the ability to change my fate, I can endure it.
At that time and that day, when our identities were reversed, I would not even give you the qualification to endure it.
Li Yi, you are not without flaws, your flaw is me..."
Ji Li's body was blowing in the wind, brushing past Ru Ru, with nothing in his hand, looking up and taking a closer look at the corpses of men and women.
Eighteen floors, a ghost, eleven store managers.
All the details are here, and the way to understand life is also here.
Eleven store managers, eleven steps, eleven nooses, eleven pairs of male and female corpses...
The pattern is not difficult to find. Ji Li saw along the way, except for the last eleventh pair of corpses, the rules of the first ten pairs were all one man and one woman.
So, what is the purpose of the lack of a pair at the eleventh noose position?
Is it difficult? Not difficult.
Zhu Xiaoning, who was possessed by a ghost, had the ghost's goal, so he held Huangfu Jiajia and climbed the eleventh noose.
If he succeeded, the number of eleven would be completed.
For the store managers, this result could be divided into two possibilities:
The first one is that if the ghost achieves its goal, it will sacrifice two store managers, one man and one woman, to open the way to the next level;
This is a good thing.
The second one is that after the ghost achieves its goal, it is not reconciled, so it will start to attack all store managers.
After satisfying the number of eleven, its ability will be further expanded.
At that time, the overall situation will be out of control, and there will be no way to crack it except to resist it.
Therefore, the way to crack the way out can only be now.
Should Zhu Xiaoning hold Huangfu Jiajia and successfully complete the act of hanging on the ceiling?
Ji Li's idea is to let it do it!
Of the two possibilities, he prefers the former, because according to the ghost's killing method, it is impossible to kill everyone present.
Because at this moment, there are eleven store managers, nine men and two women.
Its killing method does not meet the conditions for killing all of them.
Therefore, letting Zhu Xiaoning hold Huangfu Jiajia to die together seemed to be a way out.
Because this was the decision with the least sacrifice.
But Ji Li fell silent again, for no other reason, this way out was too simple.
It took him less than half a minute to guess this way out.
The details... were still wrong.
Ji Li turned around the eleventh noose, and he was carefully observing the changes in Zhu Xiaoning.
Zhu Xiaoning was possessed by a ghost, and he became a person with female characteristics.
And Huangfu Jiajia also became a man under his influence, but Li Guanqi did not...
The ghost only wanted a man and a woman, and did not need another person.
There was only this possibility, otherwise he should have sent the three people to the gallows together.
Ji Li seemed to feel that the way out just now was not completely wrong, maybe half right, so where was the other half?
He looked at the first ten pairs of corpses, and finally looked at Ru Ru.
A word emerged in his mind: "Male-female transformation."
Killing is killing, why do we have to turn men into women and women into men to make up the yin and yang?
"Male-female unity!"
Ji Li instantly grasped the core of the problem. Ru Ru is a girl on the surface, but he is actually a boy.
The first ten pairs of male and female corpses seem to be separated, but they blend with each other to form a whole.
Zhu Xiaoning, seemingly a woman, but he is still a man in his mind.
Ji Li raised his head suddenly. A noose can only be tied to a pair of men and women. On the surface, it is reasonable for the ghost to put Zhu Xiaoning and Huangfu Jiajia together to commit suicide.
But according to the rules, the two of them should be considered two men and two women!
The only way to survive is that one person goes to the gallows, regardless of gender, because one person represents the unity of men and women, which meets the standard.
The current situation does not meet the rules of the way to survive that Ji Li guessed, so it can only be said that this is the opposite rule of the way to die.
If Zhu Xiaoning takes Huangfu Jiajia to the gallows together, it will be completely opposite to the way to survive and form a way to die.
When the dead end completely breaks out and the way out is annihilated, Huangfu Jiajia's rubber band may not be able to save herself, and the others present will also be dragged down!
That ghost guessed that no one would help Zhu Xiaoning and Huangfu Jiajia.
Using a false rule, actively create the outbreak of the dead end.
If it succeeds, even if the store manager members can leave, they will suffer heavy losses.
Because few people can imagine that its actions reveal the way to life, but also hide the way to death.
There is truth in falsehood, life in death, a good move!
But it is a pity that among the eleven people present, there is one person who is far superior to the others in terms of sins and brains.
Ji Li guessed the way out in two minutes, but Li Yi saw through it with just one glance.
And with the help of his powerful sinful object, he forcibly stopped the ghost's attempt, turning this moment into a gambling game.
Ji Li turned his head and looked at Li Yi. The two looked at each other silently. He had never met such a terrifying person.
The scary thing about Li Yi is that standing in front of Ji Li, he seems to be able to see through everything, holding everything firmly in his palms.
Whether it was intelligence or crime, Ji Li at this moment could not be compared with Li Yi.
Li glanced at the hourglass on the ground and saw that there was still one third left.
Ji Li's speed was considered extremely fast, and it only took him a minute and a half.
However, it seems that Li Yi is still not satisfied enough, with a hint of disappointment in his tone:
"It seems that you guessed the way out, and it was much slower than I expected."
Ji Li stared at the face that was just like his own with extremely complicated eyes.
Li Yi would not lie or conceal anything. He believed that if he asked why Li Yi targeted him, he would definitely get a result.
At the very least, Ji Li won't be as passive as he is now.
But in the end, his choice was to keep silent. Asking would only show that he was already oppressed, and any more oppression would lead to fear.
Ji Li doesn't ask, but he can gain a slight psychological advantage in the subsequent confrontation.
Li Yi raised his hand and grabbed the hourglass in his palm, shook it slightly, and the still time resumed its passage.
Chen Hansheng still held a general's shadow puppet in each hand, but he stopped moving and looked at Li Yi.
Luo Xian, Su Chenghe and others also turned their heads.
They were all waiting for an explanation, but they couldn't take the initiative to ask.
Li Yi had never looked at these people, so he naturally didn't speak and proved his attitude with actions.
The gloved right hand exuded an increasingly cold aura, plunging the eighteenth floor into an even colder atmosphere.
He walked slowly to the eleventh noose, raised his hand and grabbed Li Guanqi's calf, pulled it out of the center of the storm without any effort, and discarded it casually.
Then, he grabbed Zhu Xiaoning's arm that was holding Huangfu Jiajia, and gently exerted force.
There was a sound of bones breaking in the corridor, and after a crunch, the joint of Zhu Xiaoning's right arm was bent into an exaggerated arc.
Huangfu Jiajia, like Li Guanqi, was thrown out by Li Yi like trash.
To mount the execution rack, only one person is needed, it doesn't matter whether he is a man or a woman.
The possessed Zhu Xiaoning lowered his head suddenly, the black blood veins on his face bulged, and stared at Li Yi with his eyes, but he had no intention of taking action.
The ghost was forced by the rules of survival and had to go to the gallows.
The unlucky Zhu Xiaoning will be the first store manager to be eliminated in this store manager task because he is the weakest.
But at this moment, Gu Xingjian, who had been watching the situation for a long time without expressing his opinion, suddenly stood up from the shadows and raised his hand to hold Zhu Xiaoning's rising wrist.
On the thumb of that hand, the green ring emitted a trace of fluorescence.
Gu Xingjian looked at Li Yi with his trademark kind smile, his tone sounded like a discussion, but not like:
"Manager Li, I suggest that someone else die, is that okay?"
