Weird Apocalypse: Rebirth Starts with Trillions of Ghost Money

Chapter 1368: Hidden Way to Survive (Thanks to Sakiya for the great recognition!)

Faced with these two difficult problems, Dean Qi pondered for a long time.

In the end, he still focused on the rules.

He used all his wisdom to tailor new rules for the players based on the previous rules.

In the new [Shanqing Nursing Home Rules], the first welcome rule and the seventh chef rule are retained as they are.

The second rule, “No leaving the room at night,” has not changed.

However, this rule was previously used against the elderly, to murder them at night and dispose of their bodies. Now it has been used against players.

The fourth "mirror" rule, the fifth "blood stains in the room" rule, the sixth "old man in bloody clothes" rule, and the eighth "photos in the corridor" rule directly point to the ways in which the female ghost contacts the players.

These four rules 4, 5, 6, and 8 completely cut off the connection between the player and the female ghost.

All the ways the female ghost tries to contact the players are induced by the rules to make the players think that the female ghost wants to harm them.

As for the third rule, "knocking on the door at midnight", the female ghost will not actually use this method to contact players.

However, the dean and his team can knock on the door and kill the players inside, causing other players to misjudge the female ghost's camp and think that she is bad.

Every rule targets the players' weak spots.

Eight rules, true and false, intertwined, form a dense network that firmly controls the players.

Chen Mu admitted that among the villains in Guimen, Dean Qi was considered to have a "high IQ".

Dean Qi is a master who is proficient in rules. He knows how to design rules to lead to strange things and achieve his own unspeakable secrets.

As expected, when the players first arrived, no one could see through the problem with the rules.

Chen Mu thought of the evening when the players first arrived and Dean Qi was particularly enthusiastic.

He took the players to introduce the nursing home and chatted with them enthusiastically.

Now that I think about it, Dean Qi’s thoughts are so deep, it’s simply terrifying!

Beneath his kind face, he hides two unspeakable secrets:

1. Let players let down their guard and classify themselves as "good guys";

2. Select your target for the first night by observing and talking to the players.

Perhaps at that time, Dean Qi had already determined the person who would die on the first night -

Cui Ning!

Why did Dean Qi choose Cui Ning?

Looking back now, Chen Mu realizes the reason is actually very simple.

First of all, Cui Ning is relatively weak and alone without any teammates, making her the most vulnerable among the six.

The second and most crucial reason is that Cuining was wearing a watch on her hand!

That high-end watch that symbolizes identity and status has become Cui Ning's death warrant!

When Chen Mu said this, Zhang Shanyi beside him couldn't help but say: "It seems that being too rich is not a good thing. Wealth should not be exposed. Cui Ning showed her wealth and she was targeted by the greedy dean."

Chen Mu glanced at Zhang Shanyi, smiled and shook his head, "No, you are wrong. The dean didn't kill her for money.

We all came here empty-handed, without any valuables. The dean didn't even take the watch after he killed her.

The dean didn't earn a penny from killing Cui Ning."

"Ah? Then the dean..." Zhang Shanyi was a little slow in thinking and didn't understand this.

Chen Mu said: "It's still for his two purposes - to drive us away and prevent the female ghost from contacting us.

If six of us young people died in a nursing home overnight, it would definitely cause a big commotion and inevitably attract detectives.

So, at the beginning, Dean Qi didn't intend to wipe us out. He just wanted to drive us away with the least impact.

Killing Cui Ning is the way to scare us away.

This is why Cui Ning's death was so terrifying. It was a death threat!

The watch on Cui Ning's wrist is a kind of 'mirror'. Dean Qi must have noticed this as well.

He is indeed a smart man.

He wanted to link Cui Ning's death to the fourth 'mirror' rule, making us think that the female ghost was the murderer.

At the same time, it can intimidate us, making us afraid to break the rules and even more cautious in following them. This will make it even more difficult for us to establish a connection with the female ghost."

Zhang Shan opened his mouth slightly. "The dean killed Cui Ning. Did he have three purposes behind this? Killing three birds with one stone."

"Yes, the dean has a high IQ and his plan is almost perfect," said Chen Mu.

Xue Xuexue said: "If that's the case, isn't it very unfair to Cui Ning?

She had no chance to struggle at all. Just because she was wearing a watch, she was passively chosen as the dead person by the dean.

This strange door is a dead end for Cui Ning. She is doomed to die!"

Chen Mu shook his head again, "No, you overlooked one point. Cui Ning has a watch! The watch is a mirror!

After the dean set his sights on Cui Ning on the first night, the female ghost, as a friendly camp, would definitely remind Cui Ning.

The watch on her hand is the medium through which the female ghost contacts her.

If Cui Ning could realize that the watch is also a mirror, and if the ghost girl appears in the watch, Cui Ning could notice it and understand the ghost girl's hint -

This was not difficult, in fact, it was very simple for Cui Ning. As long as she realized that "a watch is a mirror", she actually found a way out.

Because she could realize that the female ghost had appeared in the watch mirror for so long and had not killed her, which meant that the female ghost's "hostile" camp was questionable and the rules were also questionable.

This is actually the moment when Cui Ning and all of us are most likely to break through.

It’s a pity that none of us noticed it, not even Cui Ning.

Cui Ning's own "way out" was just ignored.

With Cui Ning's death, the female ghost will no longer appear in the watch, because the owner of the watch is dead and she is going to remind other players.

This 'way out' went unnoticed."

Xue Xuexue was also surprised to hear Chen Mu say this.

She didn't expect that there was such a way out that no one noticed.

If Chen Mu had not brought it up, perhaps after leaving Guimen, she would never have realized in her life that there was such a way out in front of her.

What surprised Xue Xuexue even more was that Chen Mu, who had also ignored the way out, actually found this way out just by reconstructing and guessing.

Deep down, Xue Xuexue was secretly glad that she had handed over the props.

Fortunately, I didn't go against Chen Mu, otherwise I probably wouldn't even know how I died.

Zhang Shanyi asked, "If that's the case, how did Cui Ning die on the first night? Do Dean Qi and the others have the key?

But I didn't hear any door opening in the corridor at night.

If Dean Qi and the others want to kill Cui Ning, they must first go into her room."

Xiao Shi also looked at Chen Mu, but he actually didn't understand it either.

Chen Mu said, "In fact, Cui Ning's death has already told us how Dean Qi killed her."
