I Upended Yet Another Campus Urban Legend

The three came to the ninth floor of the news agency building.

The door of the conference room was unlocked, and Lin Yi saw the editor-in-chief sitting on a chair with a grumpy expression from a distance.

Hearing the late footsteps of the three of them, the editor-in-chief almost put the watch on his wrist into the eyes of the three of them: "What time is it? What time is it?"

Qin Zhou pulled Lin Yi behind him, then looked at the editor-in-chief's watch, "10 o'clock."

Editor-in-Chief: "What time do you go to work?"

Qin Zhou: "Nine o'clock."

Editor-in-Chief: "Is it overshadowed so lightly? Are you proud of being late?"

"No, I'm not proud." Qin Zhou patted Lin Yi on the back, motioned Lin Yi to sit on the seat, and said, "Salary will be deducted if you are late."

The editor choked.

Then Qin Zhou took the empty seat in front of him and sat down, followed by Ren Li.

Looking at these three old fritters, the editor-in-chief wished to slaughter the three of them.

"How did you find the people you were looking for?" the editor-in-chief asked them.

Qin Zhou said: "It's a bit eye-catching."

Editor-in-Chief: "It's been a day, did you get a clue?"

Ren Li was next to the editor-in-chief recently, and he was annoyed by the editor-in-chief, so he glanced at the editor-in-chief coldly: "What else do you want?"

The editor-in-chief choked again, and then said angrily, "Okay, I can't control you, but the finances can."

After speaking, the editor-in-chief walked out angrily.

Only then did the three of them turn their attention to the other people involved. Another person died last night, the owner of the wire hairpin.

Feng Wan was still talking about the situation, but there were not many useful clues. They all listened to Qin Zhou's words yesterday and did not leave the news agency.

At night, they finally felt hungry, and they didn't dare to leave the news agency without money, so the owner of the hairpin proposed to look inside the company to see if there was any food.

Qin Zhou said before that they are not allowed to touch the things here, but the food should be an exception?

The eyes of those involved were so hungry that they felt that they would pass out in the next second if they didn't eat any more, so they hesitated to follow the owner of the hairpin to find food in the company.

Really let them find some, there are some snacks in the drawers of several workstations.The four of them shared the snacks, and after stuffing their stomachs, everyone came to the conference room just like the night before, and slept on the table.

After waking up, someone died.

Everyone panicked at once. Zhou Qi's death and Jiang Wang's death made them feel scared, but it was just scared. Tonight was different.

They did the same thing as the dead, so could they be the next to die?

Even when Feng Wan told Qin Zhou today, her mental state was not very good.

If everyone encounters the same thing that triggers time regression, then everyone will enter 'past time' that night, but only one person died last night, and the others still somehow don't know what happened.

In other words, it wasn't the biscuits they found that triggered the time regression. The deceased must have touched something that no one else had.

However, they spent an hour analyzing the clues under the flower bed. During this hour, it was hard to say whether the body of the deceased had been disposed of. Ren Li suddenly got up to go to the trash can to find the body of the deceased again.

Qin Zhou said, "Wait a minute."

He wants to attract the attention of 4-4 monsters, so at this time it is necessary to ensure that all surviving participants are present.

Ren Li stopped and stood by the door.

Only then did Qin Zhou speak, and Lin Yi beside him nervously paid attention to everyone's expressions.

Qin Zhou said: "The death rule has been found, and the correct rate is about [-]% to [-]%."

The complexions of the participants recovered immediately, and they looked at Qin Zhou with great anticipation, and some of them were so excited that they kept swallowing their saliva.

"Let's briefly talk about the current situation first." Qin Zhou said: "The reason why you are not allowed to touch the things here is that the things here will trigger time regression. This should be easy to understand? It doesn't matter if you don't understand. Just remember that when When you see a white light, it means that you have passed from 'now time' to 'past time'. If you want to survive at this time, remember one thing, don't run around, don't look around, cover your face, don't let anyone see you look."

"Back in time?" someone repeated, and then a great sense of dread overwhelmed them.

Sure enough, this is an absurd and terrifying world of rules, even the concept of time regression exists.

Qin Zhou pursed his lips after speaking, and he gave these people time to react.

Lin Yi also looked at everyone's expressions and reactions one by one during the silence in the conference room.

But before Lin Yi could come up with any results, the editor-in-chief went back and forth, and brought the company's finances with him.

The editor-in-chief said viciously: "I can't control you, it depends on whether you dare to come in late and leave early next month with this little salary, and go to work to catch fish!"

Unexpectedly, the benefits of salary payment were triggered.

Qin Zhou: "..."

Lin Yi: "..."

Ren Li: "..."

The others had learned about the death rule and were glad to hear that they were paid.The little food they ate last night couldn't satisfy their hunger at all. If they had wages, then they could have a meal, and they didn't have to worry too much about triggering time regression. After all, Qin Zhou just told them the rules of death.

And the way to hide is not difficult. If they unfortunately trigger the time regression, they should immediately find a place where no one is hiding. As long as their faces are not seen, they will not die.

Finance issued salary slips to everyone.

Lin Yi held his salary slip curiously. Although there were many deduction items, the money he got was actually not bad. It was much more than what Lin Yi earned from doing odd jobs before.

The editor-in-chief originally wanted to humiliate them with their salary, but unexpectedly most of them showed pleasant expressions.

Editor-in-Chief: "..."

The editor-in-chief said angrily: "If you still can't handle this news, you won't even get a penny next month!" He was like a puffer fish that exploded in anger: "What are you doing here? Go follow the news , what else should I say?"

Everyone was kicked out of the news agency by the editor-in-chief, and the other participants planned to use the salary to eat at a nearby restaurant after getting Qin Zhou's consent.

Ren Li went to look for the body of the deceased. Qin Zhou and Lin Yi decided to check around Cen Qian's house. After all, the IP address was locked near Cen Qian's house.

Today was a sunny day, and the two of them walked around here a few times, but found no clues.Qin Zhou saw that Lin Yi was dripping with sweat, so he stopped and said, "Take a break?"

Lin Yi nodded in agreement. In fact, he didn't hope to find the anonymous contribution. For a moment, he even suspected that the anonymous contribution was Cen Qian.

"Are you thirsty?" Qin Zhou asked him.

"It's okay." Lin Yi was thinking about something. Although the editor-in-chief kept mentioning the name 'Blink', they had never seen 'Blink' in the 'now time'.

He still can't let go of the possibility that 'Blink' is a 4-4 monster. Once this is the case, the main line they launched will basically collapse.

In order to make the current main line stand firm, we must find the "instant moment" and see what the "instant moment" looks like.

In their main line of speculation, 'Jian Ji' is a cat and Cen Qian is a mouse. If the main line is correct, 'Jian Ji' has already escaped from prison, so it is impossible for him not to come to Cen Qian.

And as long as they stay by Cen Qian's side, once the 'instantaneous moment' appears in the 'now time', then it can be proved that their main line direction is correct.

"Senior."

Lin Yi wanted to discuss the squatting plan with Qin Zhou, and when he looked up, he realized that he had followed Qin Zhou into a cake shop.

Qin Zhou ordered milk tea at the cash register.

Qin Zhou heard him calling himself, and turned his head to look at him: "Why?"

Lin Yi shook his head: "No, let's talk about it later."

Qin Zhou: "OK."

He pointed to a place in the store: "Go there and take a seat."

Lin Yi: "Oh good."

Lin Yi went to sit down, a place near the floor-to-ceiling windows of the shop.

He watched Qin Zhou's back for a while, and suddenly felt something was wrong with him.

Monsters have the ability to identify the strength of those involved, so it is very likely that the three of them are 4-4 monsters. Lin Yi can guarantee that he is not a 4-4 monster. He has no memory of being spied on.

But it has been several days since he came into the 4-4 rule world, Lin Yi touched his chest, he didn't seem to suspect that Qin Zhou was a 4-4 monster in his heart.

He even planned to discuss this most important squatting plan with Qin Zhou.

Lin Yi: "..."

There seems to be something wrong with him.

When he lowered his head and thought about why something was wrong with him, he missed a figure in a cloak passing by the French window, and when the figure passed him through the French window, there was a very slight pause.

The figure turned his head slightly to look at Lin Yi, then turned his gaze away, and then looked at Qin Zhou who was leaning against the cash register and waiting for the clerk to make drinks.

When Qin Zhou was about to turn around and take his seat with his drink, the figure turned his head and continued to walk forward.

"Little genius."

Qin Zhou yelled several times before Lin Yi came back to his senses: "Ah, senior? Did you call me?"

"What are you thinking about?" Qin Zhou pulled out the chair, sat down opposite him, and put the milk tea and mango cake on the tray in front of Lin Yi.

Although up to now, Qin Zhou has not acted like a 4-4 monster, and even actively asked to attract the attention of a 4-4 monster, but it is Qin Zhou after all, isn't Lin Yi not fighting wits with Qin Zhou who is possessed by the monster Bravely, this does not prove that Qin Zhou is not a 4-4 monster.

Lin Yi temporarily suppressed the squatting plan, stared at the mango cake in front of him and said, "I was just thinking about what a coincidence."

Qin Zhou asked curiously, "What a coincidence?"

Lin Yi: "I'm allergic to mangoes, the senior just bought me a mango cake by coincidence."

Qin Zhou's smile froze: "..."

Qin Zhou quickly put away his embarrassment and said, "I'll go buy you another copy."

Lin Yi hurriedly said, "Ah, no need, senior."

Qin Zhou: "Are you only allergic to mangoes? What about the others? Chocolate?"

Lin Yi: "No allergies."

Qin Zhou went to buy him a chocolate cake again, and after a while Qin Zhou came over with a chocolate cake.Lin Yi actually likes sweets quite a bit. Although he won't be rewarded for his merits, Qin Zhou touched his hands before, so he should pay off his debts.

Lin Yi ate with peace of mind.

After eating, Lin Yi said politely, "Thank you senior for hosting the reception."

Qin Zhou handed him a tissue: "On the nose."

Lin Yi: "Oh."

While wiping off the cake sticking to the tip of his nose, he asked Qin Zhou, "Don't seniors eat it?"

There is an extra mango cake on the table, and the cakes are freshly made and cannot be returned.

Qin Zhou doesn't eat sweets. Although the size of the cake is not big, he can only taste one or two bites before he gets tired of it.

Qin Zhou knew that the cafeteria of the University of Natural Engineering was not easy, so there was a deduction for wasting food in his usual performance points. As the president of the student union, he was even more reluctant to waste a little bit of food.

"I'm not hungry now." He saw Lin Yi's liking for sweets, so he didn't want to say that he was not used to sweets, so he lied casually, and then said, "Pack it up for Ren Lina to eat with ice cubes."

Lin Yi nodded: "OK."

I don't know if Ren Li has caught up with the disposal of the corpse, but Ren Li will definitely go to Cen Qian's house to find them.

After resting, the two went to Cen Qian's house.

Before Ren Li came back, Lin Yi put the packed cake on the table, and when he put it away, he turned around and found Cen Qian looking at him, specifically the cake on the table.

Lin Yi suddenly felt guilty.

Cen Qian is just an NPC in the 4-4 rule world, but Cen Qian has always taken care of them, providing them with shelter and three meals a day, but Lin Yi forgot to bring Cen Qian a cake.

Just when Lin Yi's guilt became so intense that he didn't know how to put his hands down, Cen Qian smiled in front of them for the first time: "Lin Yi, is that a cake?"

Lin Yi felt even more guilty, and Qin Zhou beside him answered for him: "Yes."

Cen Qian didn't care about Qin Zhou talking too much, he turned the wheel of the wheelchair and walked towards the cake, then seemed to remember something, he pressed the wheel, looked up and asked Lin Yi: "Lin Yi, this is for me ?"

Lin Yi could hear the unconcealed joy and expectation in Cen Qian's voice, but the mango cake was not for Cen Qian, let alone bought by him.

Lin Yi could only look up at Qin Zhou, who nodded slightly.

Lin Yi glanced at Qin Zhou gratefully and then turned his attention to Cen Qian, who kept staring at the mango cake he put on the table.

Lin Yi said, "Yes..."

Cen Qian couldn't hide his happiness anymore. He turned his wheelchair and came to the table, looking at the mango cake as if he was looking at a priceless treasure.

"Do you know that today is my birthday?" Cen Qian was very happy. He reached out and stuck his hand on the packaging of the cake, "That's why you specially brought me a cake? Thank you Lin Yi."

The more Cen Qian spoke, the more excited he became, so excited that he didn't realize that Lin Yi didn't answer his question at all.

Looking at Cen Qian's appearance, Lin Yi also guessed something.

Cen Qian, who was being targeted by 'Blink', couldn't even live a stable day, how could he still be like ordinary people, sitting around eating cakes on his birthday like ordinary people.

Cen Qian talked a lot to himself, then turned his head to look at Lin Yi and Qin Zhou, and asked earnestly and impatiently, "Can I eat it now?"

Lin Yi was about to nod, when Qin Zhou beside him said, "Wait."

Lin Yi turned to look at Qin Zhou, wondering why Qin Zhou said 'wait'.

"You tell him to wait a while." Qin Zhou should have seen through Lin Yi's thoughts, then leaned over slightly, and whispered in Lin Yi's ear at a volume that only two people could hear: "I'm going to buy him candles .”

This mango cake is just a small cake, not a birthday cake, so the clerk didn't serve this mango cake with birthday candles.

Lin Yi felt the itching at the tips of his ears, which was the chain reaction of Qin Zhou whispering to him.And not only the tips of the ears were itchy, but for some reason Lin Yi felt his throat was itchy, and even his heart was a little itchy.

"Senior, I... I'll go." Lin Yi said, "I also have a salary."

Qin Zhou didn't fight with Lin Yi, and Cen Qian was close to Lin Yi's lifesaver, so it was normal for Lin Yi to want to pay some money, "Well, you have a salary."

Lin Yi raised his head and said to Cen Qian: "Cen Qian, wait for me for a while, I will go back as soon as I go."

After saying that, Lin Yi walked to the door, and repeated: "Wait for me for a while, I'll be fast."

Cen Qian could only say, "Okay."

After Lin Yi went out, he couldn't help but said, "Then hurry up."

Lin Yi didn't hear it, but Cen Qian didn't care anymore, he continued to look at the mango cake in front of him like a baby.

Qin Zhou stared at Cen Qian, he had nothing to do, he went to get some cat food for the cat.

After leaving the door, Lin Yi ran all the way. The cake shop is not far from Cen Qian's house, only five or six minutes away, so he can run faster.

Also in a hurry to buy birthday candles for Cen Qian, Lin Yi didn't notice that after he rushed into the cake shop, the black shadow in the cloak that had been wandering around him appeared again.

The black shadow stared at Lin Yi nervously. After Lin Yi entered the cake shop, he walked over quickly, and then stood outside the cake shop. As long as Lin Yi came out after buying birthday candles, he would bump into him head-on.
