Chapter 937 Dean Ji
According to previous speculation, the White Fog Operation was carried out in four steps.
The first step was to follow Li Cheng, the clue character, and spread the white fog to cover the No. 1 male dormitory building;
The second step was to wait for Li Cheng to execute the escape route after achieving his goal;
The third step was to find the reason for Li Cheng's failure in this escape route, so as to get the last unknown dormitory rule;
The fourth step was to master all the male dormitory rules and then find out the correct way to leave.
This was the framework of the White Fog Operation that Luo Ge had planned in his mind early on.
From the current situation, although there were some twists and turns and episodes in the middle, the operation was generally progressing steadily.
Now Chen Xu and Ping Wenbin have withdrawn from the operation, Ai Chan died, and Shan Xin disappeared.
The only executor of the White Fog Operation was Luo Ge.
The thirteenth floor, the highest floor of the No. 1 male dormitory building, was nothing special.
The structure here was no different from the lower floors, and there were still 20 dormitories embedded at both ends of the corridor.
But what made Luo Ge alert was that all the dormitories on the thirteenth floor were empty.
Even on the seventh floor, which currently has the least number of people, there are still two students left, but this place is completely empty.
Not only that, Luo Ge also discovered a tiny detail that is extremely difficult to detect.
It seems that the area of the thirteenth floor is a little larger than that of other floors...
Just a little bit.
Such a small error cannot be felt by human eyes and personal measurement, but Luo Ge found another way.
He discovered this little difference through the speed of the white fog spreading and even Li Cheng's footsteps.
Except for the third floor at the beginning, the speed of the white fog spreading on the other floors is about 13 minutes and 30 seconds, with an error of no more than five seconds.
This is an extremely strict diffusion time, and it also symbolizes the unique "subjective purpose" of Li Cheng, the clue character.
But on this thirteenth floor, the time when the white fog was completely covered reached 14 minutes and 01 seconds, which is 31 seconds longer.
The five-second error can be explained, but why is there an extra half a minute of extra time?
Luo Ge's observation ability is second to none in the fourth branch. He can guarantee that it is not the slowdown of the diffusion of the white fog, but the increase in the total time.
Then there is only one explanation.
The actual area of the thirteenth floor is larger than all the other floors, but it is invisible to the naked eye.
Luo Ge could not see the corridor clearly through the increasingly thick white fog, so he had to go to the edge of the fog and observe the wall closely.
He used his palm to measure the length of the wall and the distance between each dormitory door.
This process was slow and long, but Li Cheng had always stopped in front of the white fog, as if waiting for his search.
"No, no, no abnormality..."
Luo Ge was confident that such basic reasoning and calculation work would not go wrong with his ability, but it was obvious that after he walked around the thirteenth floor, he still could not find any extra space.
When he finally turned around, he strangely found that Li Cheng had stopped there waiting for him for a long time.
The thin face was wrapped in white fog, and there was no emotion flowing in the dark eyes, only numbness and emptiness.
Since the contact, Li Cheng has always been like a dull puppet, only focusing on hurrying on the road, and never showing anthropomorphic behavior.
Although the act of dispersing the white mist was subjective, it was more like a programmed behavior.
This sudden gaze made Luo Ge feel a little creepy for a moment.
He didn't know where this change came from, but Li Cheng still stared at him, motionless.
Luo Ge slowly put his hand on the belt around his waist, and confronted Li Cheng in the white mist.
Time passed little by little, but nothing happened.
"Is it waiting for me to start the second step?"
In order to verify this conjecture, Luo Ge moved half a step to the left, and was surprised to find that Li Cheng's eyes also shifted, making sure to stay on him.
Sure enough.
The second step of the white mist action needs to be started by the clerk.
Realizing this, Luo Ge's uneasiness disappeared, and he completely concluded that Li Cheng's appearance was an inherent program.
Just like an NPC in the game that opens a copy, it seems to lead the way, but in fact it still requires the player to promote the plot.
Thinking of this, Luo Ge no longer entangled in this point, and began to give up the unpredictable thirteenth floor and walked downstairs.
Li Cheng's position began to exchange, and then followed his footsteps to move down.
Sure enough, after the second step was opened, the initiative of the action was handed over to the clerk.
As soon as Luo Ge returned to the elevator entrance, he heard a roar of machine rotation, and the two elevators in front and behind began to operate automatically.
He frowned and secretly called out "bad luck."
This elevator rule killed Ai Chan and then came back again.
Fortunately, Ai Chan revealed the information before his death, otherwise I don't know how many people these two elevators would kill.
He ignored it and could only continue to go down.
"Li Cheng's goal is to escape from Tiannan Drama Academy, and leaving the boys' dormitory is naturally the first priority."
The first floor is the key to the second step.
With an idea in mind, Luo Ge's speed increased several times, and he didn't care whether he would make a sound on the stairs and went downstairs as soon as possible.
Because it was now 2:28, and the agreed time of 2:30 was approaching.
There was no dormitory on the first floor.
There were basically some utility rooms for dormitory staff and office spaces, but they all left late at night.
At the same time, he saw the dormitory bulletin board next to the dormitory door, with the five explicit rules written on it.
Luo Ge nodded knowingly, put his hand on the thick curtain behind the building door, and opened it.
On a windy and snowy night, the scene outside Building No. 1 of the boys' dormitory brought with it the cold air.
But those who were about to open the door were extremely excited.
Because he saw that as he got closer, the white mist controlled by Li Cheng also began to penetrate outwards.
Although Li Cheng's position has not changed and is still at the end of the mist, traces of substantial white gas are flowing outward along the crack in the door.
The field of vision outdoors was already poor with heavy snowfall, but now that the white mist seeped in, the external scene seemed blurred, like an illusion.
Luo Ge swallowed his saliva. He was making rapid progress. He didn't expect that the second step of Operation White Mist would be achieved so easily.
He opened the curtain a little too hastily and was about to push open the closed door and break into a new area.
In the wind and snow outside, a dark figure wearing a heavy coat slowly appeared.
The black figure came from the snow and stopped in the snow, looking at each other from a distance through the transparent glass door.
At the same time, the communicator in the cochlea rang with electricity, and a familiar voice came together with the sound of the wind:
"Close the door and step back. This is not the right way for you to leave."
Luo Ge was very familiar with this voice, but he could not identify the person due to too much noise. He only knew that he was the person facing him outside.
"Who are you?"
"Zhu Xiaoning, currently working in the guard office of Tiannan Academy of Drama."
Another special identity!
Luo Ge knew that Zhu Xiaoning's appearance was no coincidence, and he must have obtained information in advance that they could not get.
Especially the other party's attire at this moment, it is obvious that the identity can be found at will in the late-night academy.
"How can you be sure?"
Zhu Xiaoning's voice was a little hoarse when she spoke, presumably because she was tired, and she gave a piece of bad news:
"Baiwu, clerk, the same scene has happened twice.
The first time was half an hour ago, when Meng Qian, who was in the women's dormitory on the first floor, died as white mist came out of the front door;
The second time was five minutes ago, in the second building of the men's dormitory next to you, Lu Chi collapsed in front of the door in the same way;
This is not the way to leave the dormitory as a student, and those who violate it will die. "
Luo Ge was shocked. He looked at the door that was so close but kept retreating, only missing a second.
If Zhu Xiaoning hadn't appeared in time, he would have followed in the footsteps of those two men.
"If this is not the right way, then why did Li Cheng come with me..."
Snowflakes hit his face in the howling cold wind, and Zhu Xiaoning's face became red and swollen. He tightened the cotton hat on his head and said in a deep voice:
"Go back and wait for class in the morning. Action will be stopped tonight."
Seeing Luo Ge hesitate in front of the door for a long time, he reluctantly turned around and left, disappearing from sight.
Zhu Xiaoning pressed the communicator through the ear of her hat, switched to the first channel, looked at the increasingly gloomy sky, and whispered:
"Except for Yu Guo and Moran, I have confirmed the positions of all the store clerks.
At this time, Tiannan Theater Academy has been cleared, and you can go to the library to meet Song Yitong.
Dean Ji..."
