Global recovery: A century of being stuck in the game

After all, her so-called compensation was no different from not asking for it.

A prop, just any prop.

It's okay if you meet someone with a conscience, but if you meet someone without a conscience, let alone an E-level item, even if it's just an ordinary, useless, and worthless item, it's still a prop.

What's the difference between this and free gift?

Tao Yao casually threw something over: "This is for you too."

Yu An subconsciously reached out to catch it. After seeing the name of the thing, he was stunned for a moment, but before he could look up and speak, the person in front of him had disappeared.

He couldn't help but touch the thing in his hand and smacked his lips.

Finger-wielding compass!

A completely different use from the Guinan Pointer.

Able to avoid the direction where the weirdness is.

This is a life-saving thing.

Boss, don’t you have too many weird props?

Every item in the mall is very expensive. Most of them are defensive and life-saving items. There are very few offensive types, and the prices are so high that it makes people's hearts beat fast.

It's enviable.

Yu An had more and more respect for this big boss in his heart.

After staying there for a while, there were a few more people in the station.

Including Yu An, there are five in total.

The few people looked at each other and nodded to each other. Then Yu An put his thumb on the ticket, released it and handed it to the others.

After everyone had pressed their invisible fingerprints, five seat numbers appeared on it.

These five people came from different cities in Li Country, and this could be considered as a formal cooperation among the official branches.

On the other side, Tao Yao had already arrived at her destination by train.

As soon as she got off the train, a white mist rose in front of her eyes, blurring her eyes.

[You have entered the copy - the shared dormitory

You have lived in the dormitory for half a month, but soon you received a letter saying, "I will keep an eye on you until you die." You were very scared.

Is this a murderer? Please find him first and kill him! 】

When the white mist dissipated, she appeared in a single room.

There is a pink bed, a white wardrobe, a desk, and a door on the windowsill, behind which is a balcony.

This is a cozy room.

Tao Yao sat down at the table and picked up the notebook to look at it.

2023 7 Month 10 Day.

When I came back from the training class today, I found a piece of paper at the door. On the paper, he would stare at me until I died.

But I have always been a generous and kind person, and my students like me very much, so I shouldn’t offend their parents.

Could it be a neighbor?

……

I took a day off today. The feeling of being spied on is getting worse and worse. Are there really ghosts in this world?

……

It's so strange. I didn't buy any fruit, so why is there fruit in the room? Who has my key? Is it the landlord?

……

Today, I still didn't go out and stayed in the room for a whole day. I tried to ask my roommate indirectly if she found anything unusual, but she didn't know anything. Was I having an illusion? Maybe I should go to the hospital...

Rather than being a diary, it is more like this person's record of self-help and some analysis.

But there is not much useful information left.

Known content: This body belongs to a teacher in a training class, who shares a house with others. He believes himself to be kind and tolerant, and his current suspected target is the landlord.

Afterwards, she searched the room again and found quite a few clothes in the closet, mostly long and short skirts, and only a few tops and pants in total.

There are work ID and business cards in the desk drawer.

Xingsheng Education, Li Hongyan.

I teach music.

Just after the inspection, someone knocked on the door: "Yan Yan! Are you up? You're going to be late for the report."

Tao Yao hung her work ID around her neck, picked up her cell phone from the bed and checked the time.

seven thirty.

It just so happened that she didn't know where the company was.

"coming."

After agreeing, she quickly tore off the written paper in the notebook, put it in her pocket, and opened the door.

In front of the door stood a young girl with a ponytail and a floral dress, who looked to be in her twenties, with a bright smile on her face. When she saw Tao Yao, she was a little surprised: "Hey? Why isn't Yanyan wearing a skirt today?"

Taoyao said: "I got two mosquito bites on my legs yesterday. It doesn't look good in a skirt."

From the clothes in the closet, we can conclude that the original owner was a girl who loved beauty.

"It's getting hotter and hotter, and there are more mosquitoes." The young girl nodded in agreement.

Tao Yao: "Wait for me for a moment. I'm going to the bathroom."

"We are going different ways. I was just watching your door and worried that you would be late, so I called out and I won't wait for you anymore."

"Ok, thanks."

"Oh, you're welcome. Bye~"

The young girl waved her hand and turned away.

Tao Yao did not hesitate. She went to the bathroom, tore up the papers, threw them into the toilet, flushed them away, and left quickly.

She moved quickly enough and was only less than a minute later than the young girl.

I live on the second floor. When I go downstairs and turn the corner, I can see the man's back as he walks away.

on the left.

The two of them took different paths, so she took the right path.

Judging from the exchange just now, the relationship between the two seems to be pretty good.

I was walking and looking at my phone. There were not many people on the roadside as they were all rushing to work. Therefore, the street was quiet and no one was talking.

There are quite a few contacts on the phone, all with notes of someone’s father or mother, a total of twenty-eight.

These are all her contacts, only one of them has the note "landlord".

The chat history is blank.

As for students' parents, generally there is no problem and they don't have any contact with them throughout the year.

Putting the phone into her pocket, she saw a company not far away. The four big words "Xingsheng Education" were very conspicuous outside.

We've arrived.

Tao Yao walked in. The receptionist saw her and waved at her: "Hongyan, didn't you take a day off today? Why are you here?"

Tao Yao said, "Is the boss here? I'm not feeling well and would like to take two more days off."

The receptionist couldn't help but roll her eyes: "He's not here, you've already asked for several days off this month, I'm afraid the boss won't agree to another one..."

Tao Yao sighed softly: "I have cancer, in the late stage, and I have to be hospitalized for chemotherapy tomorrow."

Nonsense comes out of my mouth without any effort.

The receptionist immediately felt guilty and said quickly: "Then go back quickly and have a good rest. I will ask for leave from the boss for you!"

Damn her! She rolled her eyes at a seriously ill person.

Tao Yao forced a smile: "Thank you then."

"You're welcome, you're welcome."

After leaving Xingsheng Education, Tao Yao frowned slightly.

The reason why she came to the company early in the morning was to avoid being suspected, but now she could just take a few days off, which would save her time.

She lives in an apartment near the road, which has four floors in total. Each floor has four rooms, two bedrooms, a living room, a kitchen and a bathroom.

If the apartment was full, the number of people she would have to exclude from the investigation would reach thirty-one.

The focus is still on the people nearby.

The two items she brought this time were the Scarlet Flame Sword Card and the Finger-Trick Compass.

When she got home, she took out the compass and placed it on the table. There was no movement from the compass, the needle didn't move at all, or it didn't even start.

In other words, there is nothing weird about this copy, at least this apartment is not weird.

The Finger-Trick Compass in her hand was only D-level.

"Isn't it weird..." Tao Yao muttered softly, raising her hand and pressing her eyebrows.

This is a copy similar to Decryption, but also a place without ghosts, where human nature is tested.

The two of them don't like being together.

Is it weird? If it doesn’t work, just kill him. It’s not a big deal.

Here it was a human being, and she didn't have the habit of killing indiscriminately unless she had to.

Putting away the compass, she walked out of the room again. The door of the room next to hers was right next to hers, just one step away.

She stroked her chin, took off the gold wire ring on her wrist and straightened it, then began to unlock it.

This thing is jewelry and is not considered a prop, just like the clothes people wear.

The same goes for things like paper, pens, and watches.

Opening the door, she walked in.

The layout of the room was not much different from hers.

I said I would keep an eye on her, and her roommate had every opportunity to do so. Then I checked the living room and found no surveillance anywhere.

In fact, surveillance is basically useless in the weird world, because any ghost can destroy it at will. If it cannot be destroyed, then it must be a prop.

Therefore, it is difficult for such things to exist in the copy.

You can start by crossing your roommate off the list of suspects.

How do I contact the landlord?

Returning to the room, she sat there in a daze. After a while, a feeling of being watched came over her.

That feeling of having a thorn in the back is right behind you, following you like a shadow.

Taoyao picked up the phone and looked back through the screen, but there was nothing.

And the feeling of being watched hasn't gone away.

Suddenly, the phone lit up and a message popped up on the screen.

"Why don't you eat? Go eat something, or you'll be hungry."

The text message was sent from an unfamiliar number and there was no note.

Let her eat.

This shows that Li Hongyan's daily routine and diet have been very regular these days. She had just arrived and was reminded for not having eaten breakfast. It can be seen that the other party has been keeping an eye on her.

So did that person notice that something was wrong with her?

Although I have been tortured for so many days, it is normal to have a sudden emotional breakdown.

She didn't reply to the message, just threw her phone aside, lay down on the bed and went to sleep.

The phone rang again soon after, but she didn't check it.

If we exclude the people in the apartment and look out from the window of her room, we will see an office building, and the windows on the other side correspond to this side.

If we have props like a telescope, we can actually see what's going on here.

But the distance should not be too far, and people should not feel like they are being spied on.

The phone rang twice and then fell silent.

I slept until noon.

Since her roommate didn’t come back, she simply cooked a bowl of nutritious porridge.

After eating, I cleaned up the kitchen and as soon as I returned to the room, that feeling came back.

Tao Yao simply searched under the bed, but found no one hiding there.

Her irritation was genuine, for she was not suited to this kind of game.

There are minimal clues, and you have to accumulate them bit by bit and then deduce. The key is that there are people everywhere, so it's impossible to just find someone weird to coerce or bribe someone.

Being restricted in doing things.

But this also has its advantages. At least it won't be so easy to die. Even people who are slightly weaker will have a chance to fight hard instead of dying in vain.

She actually hoped that she could displease the guy in the dark and have him take action against her in advance, so that she could complete the mission and return earlier.

In the evening, someone knocked on the door.

Tao Yao sat up from the bed, walked to the door, and looked out through the peephole.

It was the roommate who knocked on the door.

"Yan Yan, are you back? I just got off work and realized I forgot to bring my keys. Can you help me open the door?"

Tao Yao said nothing and silently opened the door.

When the roommate came in, he smiled brightly and said, "Luckily you're here, otherwise I'd have to stay outside alone. My memory is getting worse and worse."

Tao Yao smiled faintly: "Remember to bring your key next time. If I'm not here, no one will open the door for you."

"Oh, don't worry, I'll definitely bring it next time."

The two of them had dinner together, which was prepared by the roommate.

"Hey, the rent is almost due. Yanyan, can you help me pay the rent first? Otherwise, that blind old man will definitely not let me live here." After finishing her meal, she finally stated her purpose.

Tao Yao shook her head gently and couldn't help sighing: "Oh, I don't know what's going on. The landlord hasn't contacted me yet..."

"Doesn't he want the rent?"

Tao Yao did not answer but asked: "Do you think it is possible?"

The roommate was a little frustrated: "It's really unlikely, but we still have to pay the rent on time, otherwise we will breach the contract and can't live here..."

Tao Yao: "I thought so too, but I still have to find the landlord first."

"Have you visited the third floor?" asked my roommate.

Third floor?

The landlord lives on the third floor.

Tao Yao understood and shook her head calmly: "It's too late to go yet. Can you come with me later?"

"no problem!"

The two reached a consensus and went up to the third floor after dinner.

My roommate is a lively person. In just a short time on the road, he has said several nice things.
