Chapter 154 Shh! Just follow the "rules" (30)
Unable to find Yi Yi's whereabouts, Ji turned his attention to Qi Xia.
After watching her finish her takeout, casually play on her phone for a while, and then get ready for work, I was momentarily at a loss for what to be surprised about.
Ji watched as she adjusted her daily schedule to follow the established work routine and strictly adhered to the rules written on the document.
It felt like returning to its original state, as if he were just an ordinary employee of a haunted house.
But she wasn't like this at first.
Qi Xia came to the amusement park with a specific purpose in mind.
At the time, she was constantly probing the core of the amusement park, and like any intelligent person, she keenly realized that the entry point was those seemingly ordinary rules.
But what about Qi Xia now?
It felt like they were really there to work; even the rules and strange phenomena in the haunted house were much more obvious than those in the amusement park.
She treated it all as normal.
This is so normal it's almost abnormal!
Aside from a brief moment of hesitation when she received her second month's salary, which made her think about why she hadn't started school yet, she remained unmoved.
For some reason, her mind immediately shifted to the idea that she had already graduated and that this was her nighttime part-time job.
She didn't even worry too much about whether she had time to sleep.
It seemed as if, in her daytime dream, she was interning at a law firm she had longed to work at.
Ji watched her live a peaceful and uneventful life for half a year.
He would occasionally come to see him during this time, but...
She didn't.
If I hadn't received a reassuring response from her six months ago, I probably would have lost my temper long ago.
I suspect that she was eventually devoured by Him.
but……
It's almost at its limit...
Half a year...
She knew that Qi Xia's current state was entirely her own doing.
I didn't want to ruin her plans, but not hearing from her for six months was just too agonizing.
He thought: I should take action, at least to find out where she is or something.
Entry point...
Isn't Qi Xia the only one she pays special attention to?
He didn't intend to do anything drastic, after all, he could still control himself.
Therefore, Ji had not figured out what she should do.
But the opportunity came soon.
One night, Principal Ji appeared at the entrance of the haunted house!
As he entered the haunted house, Ji was also thinking: Ji Lanqing, as the director of the amusement park, might be able to shake Qi Xia's current brainwashing effect, but it was unknown who would prevail.
The facts quickly became clear.
Qi Xia was momentarily dazed when she saw Ji Lanqing.
But he quickly put on a smile, ignored the presence of this person who was supposed to be a guest, and prepared to continue his inspection work.
Until Ji Lanqing spoke to her—
"Hello, I am Ji... Lanqing, you look very familiar."
Qi Xia turned around with a smile. She didn't expect that her first question would be this. Most people would ask about haunted houses.
Strike up a conversation?
This was Qi Xia's first reaction.
So she replied in a very formal and formulaic way: "I guess I just have a generic face."
Seeing Qi Xia's reaction, Ji Lanqing quickly realized that his behavior was an incredibly old-fashioned way of striking up a conversation.
Ji Lanqing, who vaguely felt that her existence was indeed very important, explained again seriously: "No, you do look very familiar, but I feel like I've never seen you before."
Perhaps it was because Ji Lanqing's expression was too serious, Qi Xia frowned and stopped her inspection work to start recalling.
After a long pause, she shook her head and said definitively, "I don't think I've ever seen you before."
Unexpectedly, Ji Lanqing's eyes widened in surprise, and she said, "Impossible, after all, I am the owner of the haunted house. Although I don't remember, the employees should have seen me more or less."
Qi Xia stiffly tilted her head, her little face scrunched up.
I tried hard to recall information about the owner of the haunted house.
Indeed, no such person can be found!
Something's not right, something's definitely not right. The boss should have seen him by now, right?
What about during the interview?
Soon, she "remembered" something.
Suddenly realizing, he said, "Oh! The haunted house must have its own staff! I'm sorry, I've never seen you before. You think I look familiar, maybe because you've seen my resume or something."
Qi Xia's matter-of-fact attitude left Ji Lanqing bewildered.
But perhaps she's right?
After all, I don't know when it started, but I can only retain memories for one or two days.
Ji Lanqing smiled slightly and said, "Perhaps."
The two nodded to each other, ending the conversation.
For some reason, Ji Lanqing suddenly turned around and called out to Qi Xia, "I'm sorry to stop you again, but have you ever seen anyone who looks exactly like me?"
Qi Xia turned around with a puzzled look, her eyes inevitably revealing a hint of "compassion for the mentally challenged".
If you've seen someone who looks just like him, you wouldn't have said you didn't recognize him in the first place!
As soon as she asked the question, Ji Lanqing seemed to suddenly wake up. She laughed and said that she had bothered her and told Qi Xia not to pay any more attention to her and to go about her work.
After Qi Xia left, Ji Lanqing stood there blankly, muttering to herself, "Was it really just my imagination? My twin brother, Ji Lanyuan?"
Upon hearing this, Ji, who had intended to follow Qi Xia, stopped abruptly, his steps too heavy to take another step.
Ji Lanqing kept muttering, "How did I end up in a haunted house in the middle of the night? I guess I'll just have to sleep in the guest room and leave after six o'clock tomorrow morning."
That led them to the guest rooms near the mass grave.
Ji Cai sighed and said, "Of course not...it's my younger brother."
Ji, to be precise, is Ji Lanyuan.
A year ago, he became a follower of an evil god. He was the former owner of a haunted house and a terrifying clown NPC.
He was originally going to announce that the haunted house would be closing down that night because the amusement park was poorly managed.
As a result, when they were closing the door in the middle of the night, they encountered a god who had awakened from his slumber and had been lying dormant for a long time.
The deity expressed His desire for friends and to be able to play with everyone.
And naturally, he can only help Him achieve it.
He took over a nearly bankrupt amusement park as a paradise for the gods.
This almost bankrupted him.
Fortunately, for him now, money is no longer a thing.
I thought that although gods sometimes have indescribable appearances, they were just children who wanted to make friends.
But the more you spend time with them, the more you can feel the capriciousness of the gods.
Perhaps "playing" would be a more accurate description of what He meant by "playing around."
Even with the soul of a young girl restraining Him, His arrogant and cruel nature could not be concealed.
"Innocent mischievous child" is perhaps the most specific and accurate way to describe him.
No matter what, Ji Lanyuan, who is now a false god, is still human at heart.
He did not want his fellow countrymen to be harmed because of this guy who was called a god but was actually a demon.
Thus, the dangerous amusement park, which was transformed under the influence of the gods, received his plan.
The girl named Yi Yi seemed to be cooperating with him, restricting his actions within a certain range.
Such constraints create a blind spot where humans can exploit loopholes to protect themselves under the manipulation of the gods.
Various rules subsequently emerged.
Unable to control Him, one can only try to conform to His habits and live a life of compromise.
Human beings are brave, loyal, and united!
As long as the flame of humanity does not die out, perhaps one day we will find a way to completely eliminate demons.
After all, compared to others, his power was far too insignificant.
This can be seen in Ji Lanqing and Qi Xia, who both had their memories sealed.
