"If you guessed correctly, why isn't Chen Yan in the phone booth?"

The third uncle pointed to the phone booth and then quickly pointed to the bus stop sign.

"The Rabbit Zone, look at it, the damn Rabbit Zone."

On the top of the bus stop sign, on the bright yellow base, is the "Rabbit" logo printed in black paint.

"It was true before and it is true now, which means that we have been spinning in circles ever since we entered the bus stop!"

The silent missionary suddenly spoke:

"Perhaps it was simply because we took the wrong road, so we made a circle and returned to this bus station again."

The missionary covered his uncovered belly.

He was obviously frozen. Although the little girl's previous scratch did not hurt his body, it left his entire chest and abdomen exposed to the blizzard.

Now, his belly was black and blue from the blizzard.

But he is obviously very resistant and has a lot of patience.

He explained:

"Zoos are all like this. In order to facilitate travel, each area will be equipped with a circulation road so that tourists can fully explore the entire park."

The third uncle reminded: "You may have forgotten that we can only go straight or turn right now."

"When we left the bus stop for the first time just now, there was only a one-way street going straight ahead, and no more roads appeared."

"There's only one way we can go... back to this platform!"

William asked in a low voice: "Can we go back?"

The third uncle said with a gloomy face: "Go back. Even if you can walk back to the zoo gate, you must turn left to leave the zoo. That will violate the rules... You have seen the consequences."

William swallowed.

"What's more, in this situation."

The third uncle looked where he was coming from.

"Are you going to make it out without going back to this damn bus stop again?"

"If the little girl keeps chasing us and we go back, we will bump into the little girl head-on - what will you do then?"

The three of them reached an impasse.

At this moment, in the phone booth, Chen Yan heard a chuckle mixed with the sound of electricity coming from the phone.

"Look how painful they are!"

Chen Yan thought: "What's a good solution? They are indeed in a desperate situation."

A man's playful voice came from the microphone: "Mr. Chen, what do you think?"

Chen Yan carefully considered his words.

"There are two situations."

The man on the phone was obviously interested and said "Oh~" in a rising tone.

"The first situation:

After the little girl uses the power of [Tainted Blood], [the original rules are still in effect]."

"If the original rules are still in effect, Third Uncle and the others are equivalent to being trapped in [the original rules] + [the new rules made by the little girl].

The two rules are superimposed, and they are even more disadvantaged than before."

"Under such circumstances, Uncle San and the others have no way to escape - they can only move forward along this road and finally return to this bus stop."

"After repeating the cycle infinitely, their physical strength will eventually be exhausted."

"When they lose their strength and the little girl catches up, they will die."

The man on the other side of the phone was about to praise, but heard Chen Yan continue:

"if it was me……"

Chen Yan touched his chin.

"In the case where the two rules are superimposed, if it were me, I would try to induce the girl to turn left - which is not difficult to do - but if a violent conflict occurs, it will be difficult to avoid [turning left]."

"If a girl [turns left] again, she will break the rules."

"And those who violate the rules will be punished."

There was a sound of a Christmas salute going off over the phone, followed by a low cheer from a man.

"It seems that Mr. Chen, you don't just go to work with your brains!"

Chen Yan didn't seem to hear this cheap compliment and continued to talk according to his own thoughts.

"When the girl was at the entrance of the zoo, she violated the rule [no left turns]. The punishment was that the soles of her feet were twisted to 90 degrees."

"According to what you said, she used the power of [dirty blood] in her body, um... the power of [dirty blood] that caused [corruption], to resist the punishment of the rules and return her feet to normal."

"But I think it comes at a cost."

Chen Yan's tone was filled with determination.

"What's the price?"

There was no sound on the other side of the phone, only the continuous sound of electricity coming from the phone.

Chen Yan asked and answered his own questions.

"[Use the power of dirty blood to resist the punishment of the rules] - The price for doing this is the intensification of [corruption] - I think this is the fundamental reason why the little girl turned into a monster."

A moment of silence.

"Pah, pah, pah -"

Loud applause came from the microphone.

"You are great! Mr. Chen... Since you are so great, I even want to tell you the rules for solving this matter directly!"

really.

Chen Yan was not surprised by the news revealed by the man on the phone.

From the very beginning when he came into contact with the rule [no left turns], he guessed that there must be more rules in the zoo——

How could such a large zoo only have two or three simple rules?

The man's words also made Chen Yan certain of one thing:

The intensification of [corruption] in the girl is really caused by the punishment of resisting the rules...

Before, he was really just guessing.

With the confirmation from the man on the phone, Chen Yan could confirm his guess.

The man on the phone must also know about Chen Yan's temptation, but he did not expose Chen Yan's little thoughts, but directly confirmed it——

This shows that the man does not care about telling Chen Yan the truth.

Even, the "truth" may be what the man wanted to tell him all along - Chen Yan obviously found out about this.

Chen Yan curled his lips and thought that maybe the man on the phone was so half-disguised and half-talking, half-reserved, just to satisfy his own bad taste.

This is a guy who likes to make people guess riddles.

Now, the guy's voice was a little urgent.

"You only talked about the first situation, Mr. Chen, what about the second situation?"

Chen Yan still carefully considered his words.

"In the second case, after the little girl used the power of [Tainted Blood], [the original rules were replaced]."

"The original rules are invalid,

New rules for little girls in effect.”

"The little girl created this circular path, created this... circular space."

"In this space, everything is cyclical."

"Blizzards can return to the sky, and roads can be connected back and forth."

"It starts from when Third Uncle and the others enter this road, and ends when Third Uncle and the others leave this road -

The space in this...may even include time, which has become a cycle."

An affirmative reply came from the other side of the phone.

"Bingo! Mr. Chen guessed right again! What next?"

Chen Yan looked at the heavy snow outside the phone booth, estimated the time in his mind, and looked in the direction of the zoo gate.

It was also the direction the four of them came from.

A dark shadow appeared at the end of that direction, appearing in the snowstorm.
