Weird Regulator

Act 14, unknown timeline.

Clyde stood under the patio on the first floor. The blinding light shone through the dark clouds like a bullet piercing his skull.

The bright dot was located between his eyebrows, and a look of mechanical shock was still on his face, as if he were a dead person, frozen in place for a long time.

Until he woke up in shock. This time he did not pat Ji Li's shoulder immediately. Instead, he was hit on his injured left shoulder by the other party, which made him break out in a cold sweat instantly.

He turned around in surprise, shifting his gaze from the distant eighteenth floor, suppressing the thoughts in his heart, and whispered:

"I saw him."

There were fourteen reasons for the shock fourteen times, and this time the reason was that he finally met Gu Xingjian.

This person, who should have died long ago regardless of the rules or the ending, is actually still alive, and is unharmed, and still as charming as ever...

The feeling of terror that was almost forgotten was awakened again at this moment. The inexplicable guilt and panic when facing that person almost became a deep-rooted disease.

I thought the disease was cured by the sixth store manager mission, but I didn't expect it to be so deep-rooted, coming back again and again, and difficult to eradicate.

Clyde felt a pang of pain in his heart. He didn't know what his position as the manager of the ninth branch was.

Gu Xingjian must be dead.

At least he died in the sixth store manager mission, and was dead for a period of time, but he was reborn after Clyde became the store manager.

This sensitive time difference made him repeatedly deepen his fear of Gu Xingjian.

He even had to consider the issue of time difference, whether it was also part of Gu Xingjian's plan.

He was going to step down as store manager at a critical moment!

In other words, this moment...

At this moment, there are some things that can only be done by the "store manager of the ninth branch", and there are some things that he can complete as a "non-store manager"?

Clyde's body began to tremble uncontrollably. The psychological pressure brought by this fearful association far exceeded that of any ghost.

"Let's go."

Unlike Clyde's complicated thoughts, Ji Li's voice was cold, his face was also cold, there was only one emotion, that was suppressed indifference.

Gu Xingjian came back to life from the dead, this is a fact.

For Ji Li, he was too lazy to analyze or guess about this only person who made him feel difficult and even fearful.

Now he only had to focus on the progress of the mission and regarded Gu Xingjian as a necessary step to complete the mission.

As for this person, and even the future in the previous psychic dream... everything must be put on hold for the time being.

The plan must be carried out.

Act 14 is an unknown timeline, but based on the current information, the mission should be about to begin.

It was indeed a step too late.

The psychic dream gave Ji Li and Clyde a third perspective on the past, but psychic dreams are not foresight or retrospection. It is a kind of "speculative deduction" of all things based on the results, clues, and details of all parties.

What you see, hear and hear may not be the truth of the past, but it may also be true.

Ji Li took a breath and heard footsteps behind him. He didn't look back, but he seemed to see another self walking slowly towards him.

He didn't want to meet me, so he got on the elevator first.

This was the first time for Ji Li and Clyde to take the elevator in Yu Lao Street. They used to avoid it like a ghost, but now they both chose it without any prior agreement.

Because the dream time for each scene is only about two minutes.

Time is too limited. If you want to complete the backtracking operation, you cannot waste time climbing the stairs.

In fact, the elevator had already stopped on the first floor, waiting for the two to come up.

Ji Li pressed the number "14". The flashing signal light illuminated his pale face, reflecting his expressionless face, but the changing colored lights seemed to point out his inner conflicts.

Clyde's face turned even paler. He lost his sense of security and held the steel plate of the car with both hands. His body swayed as the elevator rose, his scattered hair swung back and forth, and he remained silent, looking worried.

The blurry scene outside the stairs flashed by quickly, and time slipped away quietly.

The fourteenth floor was reached in the blink of an eye even with the shabby elevator.

With his crutch tapping the concrete floor, Ji Li was the first to step out of the elevator, but he immediately turned back and looked at Clyde's position, but actually he was looking at the elevator.

Because his mood suddenly began to ripple, and a strange thought came to his mind.

Perhaps, having stayed in the dream for too long, he had begun to lose the distinction between dreams and reality.

Suddenly, Clyde disappeared from sight. When he stepped out of the elevator, his face became extremely gloomy, his eyes narrowed slightly, hiding his suppressed emotions, and his voice was hoarse.

"I want to kill him."

Ji Li pretended not to hear the inexplicable words. He just glanced at him and walked towards room 1414 in silence.

Entering 1414, exiting 1414, climbing to the eighteenth floor... until he was getting closer and closer to Gu Xingjian at the railing...

During this time, Clyde didn't say a word, as if he had made some kind of decision.

The clock stopped at 17:34, which is the timeline of the fourteenth act.

It can be seen that the dream ghost can affect the watches of living people, but it cannot cause much interference to Yu Laojie, a special object, and can only pause the clock.

Ji Li was one of the few people who could actively use this kind of criminal object. He looked at Gu Xingjian who was watching not far ahead and moved the minute hand.

He wanted to recreate the scene in the psychic dream by modifying the time, but he could not foresee what the consequences would be when the clock rules interacted with the dream ghost's ability.

But what he was sure of was that no matter what the cost, he could at least see what Gu Xingjian had done before the mission began.

"Wait a minute, before you do anything, I have something to say."

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

However, just as Ji Li was about to turn the clock, Gu Xingjian, who was in a dream and in the past, uttered these words at such a critical moment.

It was precisely this action that caused Ji Li's eyelids to twitch unnaturally, and the hand holding the pointer trembled secretly.

With his eyes tightly closed, the black lines outlined had a hint of scarlet, causing the world he saw to be composed of red lines.

This was because the evil spirit sensed Ji Li's emotional fluctuations and began to interfere with his mind uncontrollably, forcing him to do some irrational things.

"You don't have to use the clock. When you come to me, the time in the dream should be enough.

I will just tell you what arrangements I have made.

What I have done was not intended to harm you. On the contrary, you should be grateful to me for being able to live until now.

Of course, you don't have to believe me, but you can't afford the price of this clock.

Give me 30 seconds, I will give Ji Li two choices, and I will also give Clyde two choices..."

Clyde's hand holding the boning knife was shaking more and more violently. He stood to the side and was able to see Gu Xingjian's right face and right eye.

For some reason, when he saw this eyeball, especially the black color in the pupil, he always felt a sense of fear.

This does not come from fear, but from some natural fear.

"If Gu Xingjian is still alive, what about the charlatan?

I became the store manager and came to Yu Lao Street. He took the pupil to get rid of the entrapment...but Gu Xingjian didn't die!!!"

Clyde is now even crazier than Ji Li, and his spirit is about to collapse.

Because he was already living in deep fear, he now felt that every step he had taken, and every step taken by his only close friend Huang Banxian, were all part of Gu Xingjian's conspiracy.

Even though some things seemed too unbelievable to think about, but now that Gu Xingjian was alive, he couldn't avoid speculating about conspiracies.

"Impossible... Impossible..."

Clyde had a glimmer of hope before. He was unwilling to believe that everything about him was under Gu Xingjian's control, and was gradually approaching the abyss.

The only thing he was thankful for was that this was a psychic dream, a dream made up of many elements including Ji Li, dream ghosts, etc.

Here, even if Gu Xingjian appears, he will only be a "shadow", a shadow of the past, which cannot have any influence on them.

However, this "shadow of the past" actually predicted the future, predicted this psychic dream, and even the decisions made by Ji Li and Clyde in the dream!

Unbelievable and unbelievable.

No one can do this, it's absolutely impossible!

But...it's happening.

The moment Clyde heard Gu Xingjian speak, he was driven completely crazy and rushed forward with a knife without caring about the consequences.

He didn't care about Gu Xingjian in front of him at all. In fact, he was just a shadow of the past, and he was still in a dream.

Now, all he could think about was how he had been living under Gu Xingjian's control, and Huang Banxian who thought that everything was fine.

And at this moment, the scene suddenly distorted.

Gu Xingjian's voice changed strangely, like a string of tampered codes, becoming unusually sharp and strange.

At the same time, the back figure is also distorted, turning into lines, until it is completely distorted and finally disappears.

The scene outside on the eighteenth floor was like a videotape with someone pressing the rewind button, and everything happened in reverse time!

Ji Li didn't give Gu Xingjian a chance to speak in the end. He didn't want to listen to this man's instigation anymore. Without any hesitation, he took the lead over Clyde and pressed the clock.

Operation Retrospective, proceed as usual!
