Weird Regulator

Jie Zheng is a person with the word "zheng" in his name, but he never behaves righteously.

From the moment Mu Nianmei's mission came into everyone's sight, everything this person did showed an "evil spirit".

He is bold in doing things, ruthless in his methods, and has an extremely outstanding mind, especially his ability to react quickly in extreme circumstances.

In the haunted house of the female Leatherface ghost, he survived alone for several hours, and even almost killed Ji Li.

This kind of personality and person are simply too consistent with Ji Li and Fang Shenyan's group.

But it is a strange thing that such a person was absorbed by Tongguan and entered his team.

Nowadays, hand-painted death portraits transfer one's own crisis to Mei Sheng, which is a vicious plan that kills two birds with one stone.

First of all, he was originally the primary target of the attack. This move could prevent his own destruction and achieve the purpose of death.

Secondly, the object he chose is also the most special.

Mei Sheng is the person with the strongest comprehensive ability here, and only she can delay the next attack frequency of Painter Ghost as much as possible.

Finally, and most importantly.

He wants to use the sound of plum blossoms to complete his life.

This mission is actually not complicated, but there is one biggest blind spot.

What is the role of the portrait of death, paper, pen and ink?

According to the normal development of events, the complete steps for the painter ghost to kill people are as follows:

The first step is to summarize the characteristics of objects observed outside the villa;

In the second step, the three objects "paper, pen and ink" appear, which means that the dead end is about to be reached and it is ready to start killing people;

In the third step, the victim formally meets the painter ghost and takes half a minute to draw a portrait of the death.

The moment the portrait is completed, the clerk dies.

But no one could have imagined that it would fail when the ghost of the painter killed Jie Zheng.

This is the expression of Jie Zheng’s personal abilities.

During the execution of the dead end, he found a way to crack it and forcibly changed his ending.

At the same time, it also allowed him to master the most complete dead end conditions for this mission.

Once the conditions for a dead end are met, one can naturally use this to reason about a way out.

If there is a dead end, the painter ghost observes the characteristics of the clerk and then draws a portrait of death.

So what will be the way out?

Hiding is impossible.

Because this mission lasts until 8 o'clock in the evening, there will be a two to three hour period of darkness.

In other words, the painter's ghost killing is divided into two time periods, day and night.

The dead end rule that Jie Zheng has mastered should only apply during the day.

Then I imagine that at night, the killing methods of the painter ghost will change again.

Therefore, Xie Zheng was determined at this moment that this mission must be completed before sunset.

Can't hide, can't be dragged, what kind of possible way out is there...

A surprising thought came to Xie Zheng's mind:

"Kill the ghost!"

Of course, this "killing ghosts" is just a literal meaning. When implemented, it means that the rules of death are reversely applied to the painter's ghost.

If the rule of death is divided into three steps, then can a clerk with paper, pen, and ink also become a portrait painter?

This kind of reverse thinking setting makes Xie Zheng feel excited.

Way to survive: The clerk adopts the rules of death and draws the death portrait of the ghost. Wouldn't it be possible to use the rules to "counter-kill"!

Being able to think of such an astonishing way out in a short period of time, Jie Zheng's reasoning ability is no less than anyone in the Seventh Branch.

The most important thing is that this way of survival was completely achieved through his personal ability.

However, even if there is a way to survive, there is still one biggest problem before this.

Because the painter ghost left a threat at the end, Jie Zheng had no time to complete his escape, and he would be the next attacker.

As a result, a plan to divert the troubled waters eastward to solve one's own troubles was born.

Xie Zheng first concealed the truth about the escape and led the escape route to the hiding room in order to delay time.

But before meeting everyone, he had already drawn a portrait of Mei Sheng's death.

Once a new round of attacks comes, he can just throw this painting to make the ghosts change their targets.

At the same time, he will complete the last condition for survival:

When the painter ghost appears and kills people, Jie Zheng can observe the characteristics of the ghost and use it to paint.

Apparently, he succeeded.

Qiu Zheyan opened the darkroom door and personally let the painter ghost enter the place to kill Mei Sheng.

Everyone present had already followed the previous instructions and covered up their facial features.

This half-finished product of Jie Zheng will definitely not satisfy the painter's desire to kill, but Mei Sheng's complete death portrait has already been prepared for it.

"Miss Mei?"

Dai Yingqi already understood what was going on when she saw the death portrait floating on the ground.

He first glanced angrily at Jie Zheng at the door, then looked pitifully at Mei Sheng, who had no expression, and finally rushed out.

He tried to destroy this fatal portrait of death, but it was too late.

Before he had a chance to press the piece of paper under his body, a vague figure grabbed it in the palm of his hand.

Dai Yingqi fell exactly at the figure's feet and raised her head in horror.

This figure was still vague at first, but gradually it changed substantially.

Starting from the feet, it is visible little by little, then the legs, abdomen, chest...

Time passed second by second, and when the tenth second arrived, a ghost wearing a loose coat and a black gauze hat appeared in front of the four people.

The true face of the painter ghost is finally revealed.

It pinched the death portrait with its slender fingers, then raised its head and looked at the plum sound in front of it, and smiled solemnly.

The moment this smile appeared, it represented its choice to kill.

"quick!"

Jie Zheng's heart was beating fast and he was shaking faintly. This was the result of the surge of adrenaline.

His goal was achieved without any surprises, without any setbacks.

He has a way out and plenty of time. Just give him a little time, and a little bit is enough.

This is the first mission after the three-star level, and Xie Zheng will complete it single-handedly.

"Qiu Zheyan, take me to the first floor, and I'll finish this mission!"

However, at this moment, Mei Sheng finally made his first move after the incident.

Her dull gaze passed over the painter ghost in front of her and fell on Jie Zheng. She raised her right hand expressionlessly.

In her right hand, she was holding a mobile phone with a bright screen. On it was a somewhat blurry photo, as if it had been taken secretly.

In this photo, there are four people.

From left to right, they are Mei Sheng, Dai Yingqi, Qiu Zheyan, and Jie Zheng.

The most rare thing is that the shooting angle is very tricky, and the faces of all four people are actually included in the shot.

Although the cold screen photos are a bit blurry, they are enough to identify each person’s facial features.

Xie Zheng lay on Qiu Zheyan's back and saw this horrifying scene before leaving.

When he saw that photo, his blood ran cold and he suddenly felt something was not good.

What frightened him even more was that the painter ghost turned his head faintly and aimed his gaze at him.

The cold white skin under the black gauze hat squeezed together, revealing a scary smile.

Xie Zheng's face instantly darkened, and he knew what kind of mistake he had made.

He underestimated Mei Sheng.
