Weird Regulator

I thought that after last night's clear wind and bright moon, the next morning would be a rare good weather.

At least that's what Ji Li thought when he looked at the weather after escaping death last night.

But unfortunately, God was not kind to us. The first day after entering the mission was a very bad weather with clouds covering the sky and the sun.

The earthen house with holes on all sides was not enough to give Ji Li, who was seriously injured, some recuperation.

The biting cold wind kept drilling into the seams of his bones, and then emerged from the broken left shoulder wound.

It was in this situation that Ji Li woke up from the cold.

The first feeling when I woke up was just the endless coldness.

He lowered his head faintly, looking at his empty left arm with only the sleeve remaining, and remained silent.

There weren't even any thoughts in my brain, I just felt tired.

He was already shivering a little in the wind, but looking at the gloomy weather outside, he had to get up.

After pulling away a corner of his windbreaker, he saw that his injuries were indeed relieved.

The special medicine in the hotel was very effective. After a good night's sleep, there was only a small amount of blood oozing on the gauze, and there was no further deterioration.

He stretched out his remaining right hand, dug out a pack of cigarettes from his bag, pulled one out shakily, and held it in his pale lips.

With great difficulty, he took out the lighter that Fang Shenyan left for him.

After trying several times, the smoke was blown away by the wind, and I finally managed to take my first puff of the day.

Ji Li narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at the half-broken glass window, and coughed weakly twice.

Then he moved his eyes to the kang next to him. It turned out that there was a civet cat here.

But it had already disappeared. Ji Li reached out and touched it, but there was no warmth.

It means that the cat has been away for a long time...

"Is this the most serious injury you have ever suffered?"

The second personality didn't speak for a long time, even when he was suffering from the pain of a broken arm.

Ji Li nodded silently, but he still didn't like to talk, even if it was not easy for the second personality to say a word now.

"We might consider looking for friends..."

Ji Li accurately heard that the second personality seemed to be referring to something, because he said "friend" instead of "helper".

"I do not need…"

"You can't last long alone. Last time you lost your hand, this time you lost your arm, and maybe next time your head will be used as a ball."

"At least...it's not needed yet..."

Ji Li's voice was a little hoarse, and his head had been hurting since he woke up. It was probably the aftereffects of the cold wind all night.

His mouth is as hard as his heart.

The second personality sighed silently in his heart, and when he was about to say something, the third personality spoke.

"There are live people talking in the yard next door!"

Ji Li regained his energy at this time and jumped off the kang, but his body was so stiff that he almost fell down when he landed.

His face was covered with blood and dirt, and he looked like he had lost his former energy.

But he got up immediately, with a cigarette in his mouth, taking three steps and two steps, quickly adapted to the current situation, and ran outside the house.

As he walked, he lowered his body until he came to the earth wall.

He sat on the ground, pressed his head against the wall, and eavesdropped on the conversation next door.

Judging from the voice, it was a confident middle-aged man. He seemed to be blaming and complaining: "What on earth did you do? Why do you still do this kind of thing wrong?"

"The matter has come to this, and there is nothing I can do. Anyway, they bumped into each other by themselves. Isn't it good for you?"

Ji Li was very familiar with the owner of this voice.

Upon hearing this tone and tone, it was none other than Chen Fu!

Before Ji Li had time to understand why Chen Fu was talking to strange forces outside the Li Mansion, he heard the middle-aged man reply:

"My original intention is to get rid of my five apprentices with evil intentions and to help you achieve your goal.

But now a group of scapegoats suddenly came. Where should I place my disciples? "

It seems that after hearing this, Ji Li roughly understood many unsolved problems.

This middle-aged man may be the person who spied on him yesterday, as previously speculated:

The third-party mysterious person in this mission.

They had never figured out why Chen Fu and the old woman went to Minguo Street to carry the coffin just before the mission time came.

Picked up all the store clerks.

At first, they thought that there was some connection between the Li Mansion and the hotel, but they could never explain it.

But now that I heard this, I had all the explanations I needed.

All this is just a mistake.

Originally, Chen Fu led the fake funeral procession to greet the five apprentices of a middle-aged man.

They had planned in advance to use the five apprentices who were about to rebel to sacrifice the portrait.

But those apprentices seemed to have arrived late, and as time went by, it was the clerks who were at the scene of the incident.

Just like this, the store clerks became victims.

But what makes Ji Li uneasy is whether this seemingly coincidental coincidence could be a deliberate arrangement by the hotel...

This mission is an inherently supernatural event.

If the clerks want to participate in the task, they must have a reasonable reason.

Then, the so-called coincidence is no longer a coincidence.

"After all..."

Ji Li couldn't help but feel a little curious about the hotel named Tianhai.

Perhaps for the hotel, the intrigues and intrigues of these people are not considered clever.

Hotels are the masterminds of everything.

"I used the presence of the portrait to make an appointment with those little bastards to meet in Nanshan this afternoon. It will be time to clean up the house."

The middle-aged male's voice was generous and powerful, but it seemed to have some kind of accent and sounded a bit weird.

"Why did you bring them to Nanshan? We are going to have a funeral this afternoon. If we bump into each other, how can I explain it to my aunt?"

Chen Fu was anxious when he heard the voice. He seemed to be more afraid of failure than anyone else.

"Don't worry, Mr. Fu. Now we have ten lives that can be sacrificed. Of course, the best way is to be prepared with both hands.

You used a fake funeral to sacrifice those five unlucky ghosts, and I used the temptation of the portrait to arrange a meeting with the disciples in Nanshan to take the opportunity to kill the thieves.

Isn't this safer? "

Chen Fu fell silent after hearing this, as if he was judging the pros and cons.

The middle-aged man added more fuel to the fire and gently added: "The portrait is indeed yours now, but the more people know about it, the more dangerous you will be.

Do you want to settle down once and for all and achieve great success from now on, or do you want to look forward and backward, leading to long nights and many dreams?

You have to choose between these two paths..."

Ji Li on the other side also faced two choices, but he had many more things to consider than Chen Fu.

The situation is now very clear. The clerk and the apprentices, ten people, will be the two parties who will be sacrificed to the portrait at the same time.

Although only five places are enough, does the Ghost Bride really only want to kill five people?

Put another way, it might be clearer.

Then it is:

The first possibility: the sacrifice is successful, Chen Fu achieves his goal, the clerks die, and the ghost bride is assumed to stop killing.

Use the lives of Tongguan and others in exchange for Ji Li's survival;

The second possibility: the sacrifice is successful, Chen Fu achieves his goal, and the clerks die, but the ghost bride will become more powerful, and it will kill all living people endlessly.

The whole town must die.

The two possibilities represent two completely different directions of survival: one is to facilitate the sacrifice and achieve the route of survival; the other is to prevent the sacrifice and achieve the route of survival.

On the surface, the first situation seems impossible, and the second possibility is the highest in the task.

But the real problem that weighed on Ji Li's mind was the first seemingly impossible solution.

Because the sacrifice has not been completed at all, their store clerk was still attacked.

Then, if the sacrifice is stopped, the result will be the same as now.

But if the sacrifice is promoted, the risk is too great.

The current situation is that no matter which of the two options is chosen, it seems that their clerk will die...
