Weird Regulator

A flickering candlelight lit up, illuminating a small patch of darkness.

The camera on the TV moved and played from an angle that overlooked the whole situation.

Ji Li played with the lighter in his hand and took a few steps closer to the TV.

A shriveled and skinny hand occupied the lower right corner of the screen, using its slender nails to poke at the flames to make the light shine a little brighter.

Mrs. Hu appeared.

She was wearing a red cotton-padded jacket, her gray-white hair was tied into two braids and hung down on her shoulders. She was sitting cross-legged on the ground, occupying only a small area of ​​shadow.

Ji Li seemed to take a closer look at her appearance, but the angle of view only illuminated her chest.

The slim woman who was the medical counselor has not moved since she said those words.

Instead, the three men helped the thin man in the middle to the center of the living room.

"sit down."

Mrs. Hu's position was a shadow, her voice could only be heard but her form could not be seen.

The thin man was helped to a chair opposite Mrs. Hu, and his rickety figure stretched a little.

Ji Li looked intently, but could only see his back shaking slightly, but could not see any more information.

After the other three people helped him sit down, they stood outside the candlelight and formed a row as if to escape the situation.

Judging from the current situation, the six people in the picture have been identified.

Mrs. Hu, the goddess who treats patients.

A graceful woman, a medical counselor.

Thin people are sick.

Three men were the patient's companions.

Ji Li lit up a cigarette with interest and glanced at the living room involuntarily.

So, what will happen next in the video?

Naturally, it’s to see a doctor.

Although Ji Li didn't know much about these things, he had heard about them because he was exposed to them every day.

Professionals such as goddesses, yin masters, and Feng Shui masters will also treat people's "diseases."

However, this type of "disease" does not only refer to diseases in the traditional sense, but also refers to "evil diseases", also known as "external diseases".

Evil diseases usually refer to being affected by ghosts and being disturbed by spirits that interfere with normal life.

Apparently, the emaciated person was depressed and sluggish, and he came for treatment because he had this disease.

Ji Li nodded secretly. He probably guessed the content of the following video.

It should be the process of seeing a doctor by Mrs. Hu.

Since the video forced Ji Li to watch it, this part should be the most important.

What's more, according to Gu Xingjian's description, Mrs. Hu is a goddess with "some tricks".

“Drinking, eating, housing, and traveling are the old woman’s four steps to ward off evil spirits.

One drink will determine the origin of evil spirits;

The second food is to lock the traces of evil spirits;

The third residence eliminates the existence of evil spirits;

The four elements return you to your true self.

Now that you've found me, there are some things you need to explain in advance.

During the treatment, you must not resist, speak or act rashly, and put your life in my hands.

Let me ask you again, are you sure you want me to see a doctor? "

"Drink, food, shelter, and transportation?"

Ji Li shook his head. His first reaction was these four words, but judging from the following words, it should be:

"Introduce, recognize, punish, and wake up!"

Mrs. Hu stopped talking and left the power of speech in the hands of the thin man, but he didn't seem to think for too long.

A few seconds later, Ji Li heard a "creak", like a chair moving.

In the picture, the thin man is leaning on the back of the chair, his head tilted to one side, as if he has fallen into a coma.

And Ji Li vaguely saw a thin layer of smoke gradually appearing around Old Mrs. Hu.

The exorcism ceremony has begun.

The first step is to lead.

The smoke spread slowly from all around Old Mrs. Hu and pointed directly at the thin person with purpose.

The smoke, like flexible thin snakes, began to burrow through the thin man's body.

Thin white smoke flowed out from his two nostrils and finally disappeared.

"Failed?"

Ji Li was fascinated. He carefully observed Mrs. Hu's hands and saw them trembling slightly.

"Mother-in-law, isn't this cigarette wrong..."

"shut up!"

One of the three accompanying people watching the show also noticed something was wrong and asked a question, but he didn't finish his sentence.

The graceful woman standing at the door interrupted him sharply.

Ji Li saw that Mrs. Hu's thin body was wrapped under a red cotton jacket, and there was even a hint of tilt.

"The evil spirit is not on him..."

thump……

A sound that sounded like someone falling down sounded, and the TV screen froze.

The video has finished playing.

What is left is endless questions...

Ji Li frowned and stared at the last scene on the screen.

On the screen, faint flames illuminated Mrs. Hu's fallen body, freezing on her right hand.

The fingers of the hand that seemed to be dried were bent inward and pressed against his chest.

Mrs. Hu is dead?

Ji Li didn't know, he only knew that the exorcism ceremony failed at the beginning.

The so-called four steps of "leading, recognizing, punishing, and awakening" are not fully understood in the first step.

In the frozen scene, there is the fallen old lady Hu, the fainting and emaciated man, three companions side by side, and the slim medical counselor.

But Mrs. Hu's last words were that "the devil does not exist in the weak."

The video has no beginning and no end, and is full of fragmentary information. What exactly is this supernatural incident?

"Zizzizi..."

Just then, the frozen TV began to flash with snowflakes again.

Ji Li involuntarily took two steps back and came to the wall to look at it warily.

This time the snowflakes only existed for a moment, and were immediately replaced by a string of small blood-red characters.

…

"Tip: You have broken into an unknown location and triggered a hidden plot."

Based on the existing clues, continue to complete the exorcism ritual.

If completed successfully, you will be able to pass the level and gain permission to use the player.

Please submit your choice:

A: Accept the challenge;

B: Reject and withdraw:

…

In the game room, Ji Li looked at the two options displayed on the game console in astonishment.

Everything was completely different from what he had imagined.

The tenth floor is not the third act!

Doubts and puzzlements filled his mind, because judging from the clues he had previously grasped.

There is a player on the tenth floor with room number 1001, and Fang Shenyan is also here.

This all corresponds to the videotape he obtained.

But it is just a hidden plot!

In other words, Ji Li shouldn't have come here, and the props for playing the video tape should be in another location.

But 1001, what do these four numbers represent?

How did Fang Shenyan arrive at the tenth floor by chance?

"Continue to challenge, or refuse and withdraw..."

Ji Li began to ponder this fatal question. The tenth level is not the third act, so where is the correct third act?

With the clues he currently has, he can only confirm that there is what he wants on the tenth floor, and the clues will be broken if he leaves here.

Ji Li always believed that the route he took was the most correct and perfect.

But looking at it now, it's definitely not.

He must have missed some important clue in acts one and two.

Or maybe there was a flaw in a certain link, resulting in a lack of clues and the inability to start the correct third act.

Taken together, Ji Li seems to have the power to accept or reject, but the reality is that he has no choice.

After a cigarette, Ji Li finalized his options.

A: Accept the challenge.

…

"If you choose to accept the challenge, you will be rewarded as a brave man. I wish you good luck!

(You can avoid death once during the exorcism ceremony)"
