Qi Jiu froze in place for a moment. It wasn't until the green light at the intersection turned red again that he gradually regained his thinking ability.

What's going on? Is it just a coincidence?

Or have you just experienced a dream regression from a witch, so now you are particularly sensitive to things related to the murderer? After all, black trench coats actually look similar...

When the light turned green again, Qi Jiu quickened his pace and crossed the zebra crossing, heading towards the clothing store.

The young lady NPC who runs the clothing store was counting the shelves and preparing to close the store. Suddenly she saw a young man who had closed his umbrella and pushed the door into the store. She looked at him with some surprise.

"Sorry, are you ready to get off work?" The young man who pushed in the door was very polite. He wiped the water stains on his glasses. Behind the lenses was a pair of unique gray-green eyes.

The young lady immediately smiled: "Yes, you are probably my last guest tonight."

The implication is that she will wait for Qi Jiu to choose the clothes he needs before leaving get off work. After all, no one can refuse such a polite and good-looking young man.

"I'm really sorry," Qi Qiu carefully put the umbrella outside the door and wiped the soles of his shoes on the carpet before entering the store. He walked towards the black windbreaker on the window with a clear purpose, "I want to try this windbreaker.

?"

He looked at the price tag and saw that this black trench coat cost 279 coins, which was not cheap.

"Of course it's no problem. When buying clothes, of course you need to try them on more times to know whether they suit you or not." The young lady's attitude was very good. She immediately put down what she was doing and personally took off the windbreaker for Qi Qiu.

"Thank you." Qi Qiu took the windbreaker and walked to the fitting room.

Half a minute later, Qi Qiu stood in front of the mirror wearing a black windbreaker. The length of both the cuffs and the hem were just right. The cut of the windbreaker fit Qi Qiu's figure perfectly, as if it was tailor-made for him.

Although Qi Jiu was not wearing a hat, the place where he was standing was backlit, and he could not see his face clearly in the mirror.

Just like that night, at the intersection with flashing temporary traffic lights, the murderer who passed him by was also carrying the snow light on his back.

Qi Jiu stared at himself in the mirror for a moment. Although he had already guessed in his heart, he still asked silently -

Who are you? And why?

"Hey, it fits just right." The young lady behind her, who couldn't see Qi Qiu's expression clearly, said with a smile.

"We only have this style of windbreaker. It's an exclusive design. It looks great on you." The lady enthusiastically introduced her products, "And both the workmanship and the fabric are of the highest quality."

Qi Jiu asked again: "Have any customers bought this windbreaker in the store?"

He needs to rule out all possibilities.

The young lady hurriedly shook her head: "It doesn't exist. Because this is the only one, there will definitely be no problem of matching clothes."

Qi Jiu was stunned for a moment: "Okay, I understand."

After he came out of the fitting room again, he handed the black trench coat he changed into into the hands of the young lady: "Please help me wrap it up, thank you."

"No problem, it really suits you." The lady folded the windbreaker and put it in the bag, and sighed, "I can even give you a discount if you buy it tonight. You only need to pay 220 coins.

."

"thank you."

“Welcome to visit again.”

After paying, Qi Jiu carried his windbreaker and cake and walked towards the rain again.

The two items in his hand were not heavy, but they felt heavy when Qi Chu was holding them in his hand.

The truth about the murderer seems to be developing in an unexpected direction.

Whether the witch only read Qi Qiu's own energy from his dream regression, or the photo in Miss Rossetti's bedroom with Little 079 during the orphanage, including the gray stain on the murderer's black windbreaker that he noticed before he was killed.

Cat hair...

Everything is too coincidental and seems to point to a certain possibility, but Qi Jiu is not yet sure of his guess.

Rather than saying that I can't, it's better to say that I dare not, after all, it is too absurd.

But he is already certain that the real world and the "Rule Manual" interpenetrate to some extent.

*

The bonding "appearance" ceremony agreed with the witch will take place in a week.

The witch made a formation with spirit stones and gave Qi Jiu a bowl of special potion to drink. During the whole process, Qi Jiu felt nothing but a slight ant-like sensation on his body, like a thin electric current crawling through his skin.

Too much discomfort, but I feel warm and relaxed.

"If you don't feel pain, it's because your energy field is positively connected to the world. To put it simply, the "Rule Guide" does not exclude you, so you feel warm and relaxed." The witch explained.

"After that, you have to always pay attention to the changes in the surrounding energy field. Once there are clues, it means that the right opportunity has appeared, which is the best time for you to enter the dungeon." The witch explained.

Qi Jiu: "Clue means...?"

Witch: "For example, if something unusual happens, to put it crudely, it's when people say supernatural events occur."

"People are afraid of supernatural events, but they don't know that they are actually unexpected overlaps and collisions of energy fields, and sometimes they are even important signals. Rather than being afraid, we should actually grasp the details and the information that can be obtained after unlocking the supernatural phenomena." Witch

explain.

Qi Jiu: "I understand, thank you very much this time."

The witch looked at him: "I wish you good luck."

That night Qi Jiu received a call from Ji Xiaoye.

"Qi Zhu, have you been busy lately? Zhenzhen and I would like to treat you and Qin Rang to a simple dinner, and Qin Rang has already agreed." Ji Xiaoye on the other end of the phone seemed to be in a good mood.

Qi Jiu: "I'm not busy. Has anything good happened recently?"

Ji Xiaoye clicked his tongue: "There are a lot of good things, right? Celebrate that you and Qin Rang have successfully come out of the copy again, celebrate the box office success of our documentary "Canned Rose Fish", celebrate..."

She paused and smiled, "Celebrating that Zhenzhen and I received the certificate."

Qi Jiu was stunned for a moment, then said sincerely: "Congratulations."

Only then did he learn that Miliu City also provides certificate collection services.

Ji Xiaoye on the other end of the phone smiled happily: "Thank you."

"But I made a promise in advance, we eat to eat, and we don't want to give money to the members. Those are the rules of the living. We dead people don't pay attention to this," Ji Xiaoye said half-jokingly, "If we are dead, we still have to pay.

It’s too shameful to give money to dead people, isn’t it?”

Qi Jiu smiled: "No problem, do you want to consider coming to my place for hot pot or barbecue?"

"Okay, okay, but will it be too disturbing?" Ji Xiaoye asked.

Qi Jiu: "No, I have quite a complete set of things here and it's very convenient."

"Then tomorrow night! I'm really looking forward to it." Ji Xiaoye sounded very excited.

The next day, newlyweds Gu Zhenzhen and Ji Xiaoye came to Qi Qiu's house on Liming Street with a lot of fresh ingredients. This was their first time here, and they never stopped marveling after entering.

"The decoration here is so beautiful..."

"Yes, the style is elegant and stylish."

The two ladies were filled with envy. This was exactly what their ideal home looked like.

Qi Jiu smiled: "It's the work of the previous homeowner. She must have carefully selected all the furniture and furnishings here. I'm lucky to have inherited them all."

"This house is also very lucky to have an owner like you who knows how to cherish it." Ji Xiaoye walked through the front yard. When she saw the little gray cat napping under the eaves, her eyes instantly lit up, "Ehehe

Hey, there’s a cat!”

"Meow meow meow~" the little gray cat lazily wagged its tail at them.

"Ah! It's so cute! Damn it! Qi Gui, you are so foul! You have a house and a cat. Who would be so envious of you?" The two ladies' attention has completely shifted from the house to the cat. "In the dying city, cats

It is a very rare creature. It can be said that I have never touched it since I came here. Oh wow, this is so happy."

The little gray cat politely twitched its buttocks to greet the guests, and then went back to playing on its own.

The two ladies were already happily rolling up their sleeves and going to the kitchen to make cat food. The little gray cat smelled the aroma of the food and followed them, wiggling its buttocks and rubbing its paws at their feet in anticipation of the cat food.

At the same time, Qin Rang and Qi Jiu also started to prepare the hot pot ingredients for the evening.

Rain was pouring outside the window, and the boiling heat from the hot pot cast a layer of white mist on the window glass.

Cleanly processed fresh ingredients are continuously put into the pot, and the food makes this cold night warm and charming.

"Congratulations." Qi Jiu opened the red wine he bought last time and everyone clinked glasses.

"Thank you," the two ladies looked at each other and smiled. Ji Xiaoye took a sip of his wine and said, "Anyway, Zhen Zhen and I don't plan to go out. The city is pretty good except for this rain that won't end... that's it.

I miss the sunny days so much.”

As she spoke, she looked out the window at the rain and mist thoughtfully.

Gu Zhenzhen held her hand under the table.

After all, if you return to the real world, everything you experienced in the City of Dying will be erased from your memory.

Including the fact that they know each other.

"By the way, when do you plan to enter the book?" Qin Rang asked suddenly.

Gu Zhenzhen smiled bitterly: "You will have to enter in a few days. After all, you have all entered and exited for the second time."

"Yes, and we are also planning to save money to buy a small wedding room." Ji Xiaoye joked.
