Weird Regulator

Chenghu Lake is so big that it is divided into east, west, south and north areas, but in fact it is artificially divided. The park itself does not have this name.

Going south, passing many entertainment projects, you can see all kinds of men and women on large entertainment facilities such as bungee jumping machines and pirate ships, making deafening screams.

Going further south, a long arch bridge is sandwiched on the wide lake. Some sightseeing boats are flashing colorful lights, and there is an endless stream of people checking in and taking photos on the bridge.

The roller coaster track that spans most of the park is so low that you can hear the whistling wind as soon as you look up.

The vermilion track paint looks particularly strange in the dark sky. The track shaking in the wind feels the violent vibration of the vehicle leaping.

One by one, the strangely dressed dolls are interspersed in the crowd. The red dots on the clown's nose far cover the pale makeup on the face, which is particularly eye-catching.

Ji Li's group of six people stood out among the tourists because their faces were not relaxed or happy at all, but full of tension and pressure as if they were about to go to the execution ground.

Ji Li's eyes were always observing everywhere, and his multiple mission experiences had tempered his super sixth sense.

On the way to the indoor game area, he saw tourists, projects, and acquaintances from other branches.

In the real world that seems as peaceful as water, there is a group of incompatible supernatural executors like them, which is an extremely weird atmosphere.

And those puppets are mostly divided into three categories: clowns, animation and role-playing.

The ticket sales area is located in the north, and the indoor game area is located in the south. Crossing Chenghu Lake can get a lot of more detailed information.

It took about ten minutes to walk along the way. The three types of puppets he saw all showed an abnormal state hidden under the normal.

Anime puppets are mostly cartoon characters. They look cute and friendly. They like to interact with people and often suddenly pull tourists over to play with them.

But Ji Li observed that before the anime puppets interacted with tourists, they had to take photos with them.

Whether this photo-taking is a rule or not, it still needs further observation.

Strictly speaking, they are not puppets, but some Cosers organized by the park to liven up the atmosphere and attract fans of the same IP.

As for this type of puppets, they behave very freely and casually, and will not be restricted to a specific area. They will appear in random locations and passively greet tourists.

They are the most normal, as if there is no rule to be found, but the lack of rules seems to be a rule.

The last type, the clown puppets, are the most mysterious.

Although Ji Li does not know much about the role of the clown, he is very proficient in horror movies, and there are many horror images of clowns in film history.

Although the clown puppets in Chenghu are also heavily made up, their makeup is more of a softer version, even with a little cartoon style of low age.

But Ji Li noticed that the clown puppets never interacted with people, and even behaved very indifferently and very focused.

The most important thing is that the clown's focus is only on the clerk!

Starting from the ticketing area, Ji Li and others did not see a single clown in the first ten minutes.

But since he saw the first one, the further south he went, the more clowns he saw. Now there have been five clowns, and it is impossible to tell whether they are the same clown.

Ji Li always felt that these clowns were following him and paying attention to him, but he avoided looking at them.

The clown puppets were permeated with a mysterious and dangerous signal, and the degree of danger was inexplicably high.

He couldn't help but think of a content mentioned by the man in the suit - "There are special projects in the park."

Are the three puppets also a special project?

Or is all this actually due to Ji Li's sensitivity and suspicion in a state of interweaving reality and the supernatural?

The biggest difficulty of the commission task has actually appeared - the clerk cannot judge the source of danger between reality and the supernatural...

True and false, real and fake, intertwined with each other, difficult to distinguish.

"We're here."

Cheng Ming's words brought Ji Li's thoughts back to the most urgent matter now.

Ji Li looked up and saw that he was on a steep downhill slope, with an underground building at the bottom.

The roof of the building was flush with the ground, and the decorations on it were two oversized figures of the classic games Mario and Luigi.

At the edge, a giant pixel sword was inserted into the ground, and five words were written on the cartoon sword: "Indoor Game Area".

But the word "play" seemed to be different, and the whole was gray, which created a strong contrast with the flashing of the other four words.

Hong Fu was doing warm-up exercises, panting, as if he was ready to show his skills.

Cheng Ming looked at the sign with a serious face, feeling uneasy, and whispered:

"Manager, the word 'play' is gone, is it a way to survive?"

"Indoor game area? Is this reasonable? The word 'play' alone can't explain anything, right?"

Hu Li seemed to have a bit of a rebuttal personality, and she would confront anyone she met.

But this time, what she said was not without reason. Taking away the word "play", it would not form a sentence or meaning, and it might not really explain anything.

Ji Li pointed to the icon of the indoor game area on the map, and compared it with the building in front of him, confirming that it was correct.

He simply did not think more and walked towards the entrance, but was surpassed by Hong Fu after a while.

The underground game area was even bigger than everyone imagined.

Although there is only a small entrance to the hotel, once you enter the main entrance, you will find a completely different place inside. There are all kinds of entertainment facilities, and the neon lights even reach the level of light pollution.

The noise from the game came so densely that there was no place to hide. The teasing of men and women, the crying of children, and the angry smashing came from all kinds of things.

Real, to the extreme.

When the six people from Ji Li entered through the main entrance, the first thing they saw was a blocking wall and two entrances, one on the left and one on the right.

The barrier wall is painted bright red, and the cartoon character Avanti points to a board on the wall with several lines of gold letters on it:

"In the indoor game area, you put in a coin and get one gold coin per person. No regrets."

"What does this mean?"

The entry instructions were simple and easy to understand, but Zhang Xiaoping asked about the last four words.

What is no regrets?

Ji Li understood that this area had its own rules. These four words meant that after entering, if certain conditions were not met, one could not come out again.

He turned to look at Hong Fu, who looked confident. After confirming, he grabbed a handful of gold coins from the bag, handed them to Cheng Ming, and said:

"You take the Tenth Store to other areas and leave this place to me. You can make your own decisions before we meet next time."

Hu Li's eyes lit up when she saw this handful of gold coins. There were definitely more than twenty gold coins in this handful, at least thirty.

Obviously, this has exceeded her expectations.

Cheng Ming took out his backpack and put away the gold coins, nodded to Ji Li, and left with Hu and Zhang.

Ji Li, Hong Fu, and Gao Mingjie handed over three gold coins and entered the indoor game area.

Ji Li's goal at the beginning was very clear. They passed through the video game area, claw machines, dance music area, etc., and went straight to the innermost area.

Opening a curtain, there are rows of dark rooms here, like small cells in a prison, each one relatively closed.

From here, Ji Li heard sporadic shouts, various complex sounds accompanied by rage and wry smiles.

Gao Mingjie passed by a small cubicle, secretly opened a corner of the curtain and looked inside.

Inside was a table, and a man with his back turned to him was holding a toy gun and pointing it at the screen in front of him.

And inside the screen, there was a skeletal face with a scary smile.

After the gunshot, the skeletal grimace swallowed the steel bullet in its mouth, rapidly expanded on the screen, opened its fangs and sharp mouth to the maximum, and suddenly swallowed it forward.

The man outside the screen slammed the toy gun on the table, grabbed the gold bag and walked away angrily. When he opened the curtain, he glared at the peeping Gao Mingjie fiercely.

Gao Mingjie's hair stood on end as he looked at the faces of the skeletons feasting on the screen.

In a daze, he seemed to see the eyes on the ghost's face, staring at him like he was looking at prey.

The screen slowly turned off and turned into pitch black. The ghostly face of the bones turned into particles, and finally condensed into four pale game names - "Kill the Demon".
