Chapter 239 World Entrance

The current time is 11:12, and the source ghost said that the first person to die is Yu Guo.

There were still one hour and ten minutes left before Yu Guo's death as it said. The primary purpose of Ji Li's trip was to take Yu Guo away.

Therefore, he cannot calculate the time of the last deceased, but the time of the first deceased.

Fortunately, there is still one hour.

Ji Li believed that he could reach another world within an hour, and as long as he did, he thought it would not be difficult to find Yu Guo and others.

However, Ji Li, who had a human face in his pocket, was still thinking about it.

If Chang Nian couldn't see the hanged female body on the first floor, then how did Yu Guo find it?

Ji Li was puzzled by this point, and in the end he could only attribute the reason to the fact that the ghost of Tiannan College had a special meaning for Yu Guo.

This meaning is also mutual.

So, here, Yu Guo is special.

Ji Li's specialness comes from his mysterious identity and the gray soul in his body.

The specialness of Yu Guo should come from the love that has a thousand ties with him and cannot be dissipated through reincarnation.

Yu Guo's ability is not the most outstanding among the Seventh Branch, but Ji Li still values ​​him very much. For this reason, he was just taking advantage of him at first.

But since the mission in Kyoto, he saw that old photo and Haruyama Mirai, and he had another kind of emotional sustenance.

In this world, things are quietly changing every minute and every second.

Ji Li has changed a lot in the fifty years before and after. He has changed from the kind and gentle man in the photo to an unscrupulous cold demon with blood on his hands.

He no longer calls himself human, but there is still a lingering bond in his heart.

And these fifty years of vicissitudes and changes in human nature are what binds him.

Therefore, when he saw Yu Guo's persistence in not being afraid of difficulties, he already had another kind of emotion.

He snatched the script from Mei Sheng's hand and gave it to Yu Guo. He sincerely wanted this miserable but optimistic man to realize his long-cherished wish.

When passing by the eighth floor, Ji Li heard a burst of piano playing from a room at the other end of the corridor.

At the same time, there were also whispers from Chang Nian. Apparently she had found another open room, and the clues were exposed, maybe it was related to the piano.

Chang Nian was calling for foreign help, but Ji Li ignored him. He did his own thing first.

On the first floor, the hanging female corpse was swaying in the wind. It looked like a necrotic clock, with the hands swinging feebly at the bottom.

Ji Li took out the human face from his pocket, placed it front on the ground and turned it upside down.

So he looked at the female corpse and the wound on its neck.

The role of the female corpse was exposed after Yu Guo, Ji Li just needed to follow the steps.

Ji Li's marksmanship is average and he can only hit the target at close range, but he has one talent, which is that he can throw flying knives extremely accurately.

He discovered this after the Ghost Bride mission. At that time, he was unconscious and could throw a knife at the magical tanuki at will. Later, he didn't rely much on firearms, but used throwing knives when he was unsure.

At this moment, he couldn't reach the female corpse's neck at this height, so he took out a dagger, bumped it in his hand, and slashed it with his hand.

A cold light flashed, and the dagger's edge grazed the white neck of the female corpse, and a brand new wound appeared on the artery that had been sealed for a long time.

The corpse should not have had such a large amount of bleeding, but now it was bleeding profusely. The female corpse was like a jar storing blood, and as long as there was a gap, it would spurt out instantly.

Ji Li also didn't expect that the female corpse would be like a living person, with severed arteries causing massive bleeding. If she hadn't gotten out of the way quickly, she would have been splashed all over her body.

He didn't waste any time and quickly took the face and used the reverse side to catch the blood.

His face was like a basin with a leaky bottom. Blood seeped down from the three big holes in his eye sockets, nose and mouth, and dripped on the floor.

At the same time, blood began to flow densely in the tiny holes between the nose and mouth, forming two complete figures on the ground.

"25"

Ji Li threw his face out the door, took out a wet wipe from his bag, wiped the blood on his palm, and rushed upstairs quickly.

He always feels that his numbers are not complete enough. "25" obviously does not correspond to the room number, because there is no 25th floor here, and the rooms on the second floor are all used as "20" or "21".

Therefore, he felt that he should have only got part of the clue, but the other part might fall on Chang Nian's side.

As soon as he arrived in the corridor on the eighth floor, he saw Chang Nian rushing out in room "812". Judging from his expression, he must have gotten something.

Ji Li hurriedly asked what happened, and Chang Nian took a breath and recounted her experience during this period in detail.

It turned out that she searched from the first floor all the way up to the eighth floor, and the door of room 812 happened to be open, and there was only a piano in the huge room.

The piano is relatively old, but it can still be played normally, but Chang Nian found that the piano was missing a white key.

On the piano stand, there was a piece of music score. Chang Nian didn't know much about piano and music theory, so he called a clerk in the seventh branch who was familiar with music for help.

With the help of the clerk, Chang Nian began to play the piano music that Ji Li had heard when he passed by.

Gradually, Chang Nian realized through the clerk's prompt that the missing white key corresponded to a note on the score, and the song would not be complete without it.

At the same time, after comparison, Chang Nian concluded that the number represented by the note was "7".

Ji Li also told Chang Nian the "25" he got.

"The two strings of numbers should be used together. Let's see if there are any other open rooms that can provide clues." Chang Nian nodded, silently wrote down the two strings of numbers and said.

Ji Li nodded, and this time they did not separate and searched the remaining rooms together.

…

At 11:33, there were only 49 minutes left before Yu Guo's death.

The two finally checked all the rooms, and finally did not find another open room, so the two strings of numbers became the final clues.

"Who should go first and who should go last?" Chang Nian took a few breaths and sat on the stairs.

Ji Li leaned against the wall with a confused look in his eyes. He was a little anxious in his heart and repeatedly arranged and combined the two numbers.

Since the "25" comes from the same place, it should not be separated. Now the key is whether the "7" that Chang Nian got should be at the front or the back.

"257" and "725", what in this building can perfectly correspond to the two arrays?

"Rooms are impossible. Room numbers are all corresponding. There is no reason to use a new array to replace them. So what else can use so many numbers?"

Chang Nian stood up from the steps in a hurry and began to turn around and mutter in front of Ji Li.

Ji Li had no idea at first, but the moment he saw Chang Nian stand up, an idea flashed in his mind, which made him suddenly enlightened!

"Number of steps! In addition to the number of rooms in the whole building, only the number of steps will reach this number!"

Ji Li hurriedly began to check the number of steps between floors, and found that if the central platform between floors was not counted, there would be 24 steps between each floor.

Then for the fourteenth floor, it should be 13 times 24, and the whole building has 312 steps!

In this way, the arrangement of "725" is wrong, it can only be "257".

The 257th step is located between the 8th and 9th floors. Ji Li raised his head suddenly. They were in the corridor of the 8th floor!

"254, 255, 256..."

When the two of them came to the 256th step side by side, Chang Nian took a deep breath and was about to take the last step, but Ji Li suddenly grabbed her arm.

"Wait, we can go in and out, so we need to keep a backup plan now."
