Weird Regulator

Ji Li held the portrait upside down in one hand and ran away.

He saw the tragic death of the middle-aged man and also saw the ghost!

It's useless!

Whether the middle-aged man died holding the portrait or not, this shows that Ji Li's previous abandonment was valuable.

The moment that vulnerability flashed in his mind, it really made him hesitate.

But then, he thought that the middle-aged man would definitely use a portrait if he wanted to make a sacrifice.

Then why not observe for a moment, and sure enough, the middle-aged man was still dead even though he was holding the portrait.

Ji Li once again realized that the hotel was impeccable.

But then the complexity of the situation made him stunned. At first, he already knew what was wrong, but when he saw the ghost, he became confused again.

He had already guessed why the middle-aged man had already sacrificed four men and one woman, but still had not completed the sacrifice.

That's because they've been miscalculating the numbers all along.

The original plan was to sacrifice ten men and eight women, which meant eighteen funerals.

In the past half month, they had performed thirteen funerals. In the impression of Chen Fu and the middle-aged man, they were only the last four men and one woman.

But among the thirteen sacrifices, something went wrong again.

There must have been an error in the sacrifice, and the person's soul was not absorbed by the portrait.

This is also the reason why Ji Li only saw twelve black shadows in the portrait.

The middle-aged man said one less thing before he died, and it was precisely for this reason.

Originally, they should have roughly known it, but due to their ignorance of the characteristics of the ghosts and their partial understanding of the mystery of the portrait itself, they were lucky enough to think that the number was correct.

Perhaps, it was precisely for this reason that the ghost had not attacked the middle-aged man.

Now, the middle-aged man dies, Ji Li takes over, and he will complete the last sacrifice.

So far, he finally thought of a way out for this mission.

The way to survive is to complete the sacrifice!

Use the Ghost Bride to suppress another murderous ghost. It is this ghost they will face in this mission.

Of course, such speculation is extremely risky, but there are several experiences that can be regarded as tips on how to survive.

First, he was approached by the Ghost Bride but was not harmed.

It was clear that this was a ghost, and he had already expressed his covetous intentions, but he never made a move.

In the portrait space, although Ji Li has lost an arm, the contradiction of the ghost bride can be clearly felt.

If it wanted to kill Ji Li, there was no need to leave an escape door;

Obviously, it did have the intention to attack Ji Li and took action, but stopped at the last moment.

Here's a hint: The Ghost Bride doesn't kill store clerks.

Then, there was a broken arm. On the surface, this was an attack on Ji Li by a ghost, but it could also be regarded as a hidden reminder.

The purpose is to tell Ji Li that the black shadows that were sacrificed are also ghosts and will also attack the store clerks!

And this reminder corroborates the information that "one is missing".

This is in line with the truth of the matter.

Ji Li ran all the way with the portrait, and he could roughly guess the whole story of this mission.

Half a month ago, Chen Fu and the middle-aged man got a strange portrait, accompanied by a fragment of a scroll.

From it, methods for rejuvenation and poisoning were obtained, as well as methods for sacrifice.

They wanted to achieve their own goals through supernatural power, so they started a sacrificial ceremony in the Li Mansion.

For half a month, they held a funeral to cover up and murdered thirteen maids and servants.

It had always been going smoothly, but once, something went wrong with one of the sacrificers.

Ji Li couldn't guess what exactly happened, but what he could understand was that the soul that was sacrificed turned into a shadowy ghost and escaped from the portrait!

Moreover, he strongly interfered with Li's funeral.

This has resulted in slow progress recently and forced Chen Fu and others to sacrifice the last five people together today.

When Ji Li thought about this, he could roughly guess that the reason why the dark ghost escaped was because of the hotel's help.

The hotel is helping it escape and creating a task for the clerks to capture.

This way of handling it made Ji Li think again of the guess he had made at Tiannan College.

Hotels have two attitudes towards ghosts.

One is to capture powerfully, and the other is to start trading.

Judging from the current situation, this mission obviously belongs to the latter, and the difficulty of this mission is by no means comparable to the former.

This shows that there is an extremely powerful ghost in this mission, which is enough to cause transactions with the hotel.

Ji Li thought of this and looked at the portrait in his hand, the quiet, beautiful and eerie bride.

Obviously, it is the most powerful ghost, but due to hotel transactions or rules, it has become a way to survive.

Ji Li ran all the way, turning his head from time to time to see if the ghost was chasing him, but his left little finger still didn't move.

This shows that there are no ghosts near him.

But Ji Li still didn't slack off. He now urgently needed to return to the Li Mansion within a limited time to complete the last sacrifice.

This is the way to survive.

After completing the sacrifice of the ghost bride, the last missing one should be a woman.

As long as Ji Li finds a woman and sacrifices her to the portrait, the ghost bride can be revived and the murderous ghost can be suppressed.

This is considered as completing the promotion task.

However, what surprised Ji Li was why the murderous ghost looked exactly like the ghost bride...

He was puzzled by this.

In a hurry, he suddenly heard the third personality say something in his mind.

"Huh? Why do you think the old woman is so dispensable in this mission?"

He does not mean that.

Ji Li immediately realized that he must have missed something.

Indeed, even though the entire mission has been restored and the way out has been revealed, there is still no correspondence for the old woman's line.

She looks exactly like the Ghost Bride.

She is also an important person in the Li family. It can be said that Chen Fu is her subordinate...

"Subordinate!"

The moment this special word came to mind, Ji Li was shocked, as if a train of thought was integrated based on this.

All Chen Fu's actions had the shadow of the old woman behind them.

What role does she play in this mission?

He couldn't help but think back to the moment when he burst out of the portrait space.

At that time, there was so much movement, and Ji Li did not try to hide why the old woman slept so deeply without waking up at all.

Ji Li suddenly turned his head when he thought of this.

There was nothing behind him, except for a strong gust of wind, which disrupted his vision for a moment.

The ghost seemed to be blown away with the gust of wind.

An even more incredible idea emerged in Ji Li's mind.

"If this is the case, then it seems that the way to survive does not require me to kill people and sacrifice..."

Whether it was luck or a coincidence, the tall horse abandoned by Chen Fu and others was not killed by Lingyu, nor did it escape.

Just step on the mud quietly, as if waiting for something.

When Ji Li looked at it, his expression showed a hint of joy. He took off his backpack, pulled out the rope from it, and tied the portrait to his back.

Then he jumped on his horse and flicked the reins, causing mud to splash and his long hair to fly.

It was nearly half dusk, and Ji Li jumped on his horse. He was going to complete this long-awaited promotion task tonight!
