Weird Regulator

The narrow staircase of the south building is a path used by ghosts, and is close to the wall connecting the north and the south.

When Ji Li walked through the east, west, and north corridors and slowly approached there, he could clearly detect an increasingly strange feeling.

This strange feeling comes from the bottom of my heart, but it has no direction.

Yu Lao Street is no different. The building body submerged in red patterns seems to have imposed some mysterious seal on it, shining with breathing.

But Ji Li really noticed that something was changing, and the closer he got to the south tower, the more so.

He picked up Pang Guijuan's head and looked at it carefully for a while.

This human head still has its eyes closed, its breathing is even and long, and there is a strange smile on its mouth, showing a relaxed sleep state.

Ji Li hesitated in front of the stairs for a moment, looking at the red patterns all over the floor, and finally stepped onto the steps with his sword in hand.

On the narrow ladder, every wooden step was covered with dust, as if no one had walked on it for many years.

As soon as one foot stepped on it, the wooden board groaned immediately, and the tremor was very obvious, as if it was about to break at any time.

And when Ji Li actually walked up the narrow staircase of the south building, the world in front of him changed drastically.

Over the cage surrounded by buildings on all sides, the faint starlight in the night was extinguished in an instant. While all natural light disappeared, it was all illuminated by the red pattern.

As he walked up the narrow staircase of the south building, Ji Li could clearly feel that the red patterns were getting brighter and brighter, and even his own body was actually adhered to them.

Before that, red patterns were all over Yu Lao Street, but there was no red pattern on his body.

But when he stepped onto the narrow staircase of the south building, red patterns began to fall on his body.

And when the red pattern fell, the indescribable strange feeling that Ji Li had noticed before disappeared without warning.

It's as if when you step on the narrow staircase of the south building, you should be hit with red patterns on your body.

Now Ji Li didn't feel any discomfort when he stepped on the stairs that seemed to collapse at any time.

On the contrary, after walking on it, when he looked at the entire Yu Lao Street, it became clearer than before, and even the perception of the red pattern was brighter.

“It’s not Yu Laojie who has changed, it’s myself who has changed.”

Ghosts cannot walk up the east staircase, and living people cannot walk up the south staircase...

If we follow this rule, is Ji Li considered a human or a ghost now?

He looked down at the red tattoo-like pattern on his body, entangled in his pale skin. There was no discomfort, and he even had the illusion that it should be like this.

"Huh...huh...huh..."

Ji Li, who stopped on the thirteenth floor, looked at Yu Laojie from a higher perspective while adjusting to himself.

Since all external light sources were extinguished, he noticed that the red patterns of these breaths did not seem to be as messy as before, and were all densely covered.

Looking down from this higher perspective, you can see that the patio floor is covered with patterns, with no blind spots.

But in the rows of shops on the first floor, almost no red patterns remain.

Moreover, the coverage rate of this red pattern is the least on the first layer, and becomes denser as it goes up, showing an upward spiral pattern.

Through the location and perspective of a ghost, Ji Li discovered a Yu Lao Street that would never be seen normally, a Yu Lao Street under the influence of red patterns.

Ji Li didn't know what these foreshadowed, but his heartbeat naturally began to accelerate. With his extremely rich mission experience, he certainly knew that this meant that he was coming into contact with the core of this mission!

He was lame on one leg and couldn't run fast, but he was still running as hard as he could toward a higher floor. When his sword and feet pressed against the fragile wooden board, the sound it made was heart-wrenching.

The entire narrow staircase in the south building began to sway, as if it would collapse at any time.

Ji Li didn't care about this. He just kept accelerating and ran towards the height with the limit of his current physical strength.

As his movements accelerated, his heart beat faster and his breathing became faster, and the red patterns on Yu Old Street became brighter and shimmering, as if bound to his breathing.

The entire Yulao Street looks like an inverted cone when you look down from the narrow staircase in the south building.

It's like an iron cone has been inserted from the sky into the fourth floor of Yulao Street. The red pattern at the bottom is the sparsest, and it is covered layer by layer upwards until the 18th floor.

Ji Li stood at the edge of the narrow staircase in the south building. The wind was the strongest here, and the wind and rain were swaying close to the sky. The entire Yulao Street seemed to be shaken by some powerful force.

Looking down the stairs, the feeling of weightlessness is extremely obvious. The heads hanging on the railings of the corridor on the right are shaking, and the sound of wind seems to be coming from their mouths, blowing on the fourth floor of Yulao Street.

Scarlet and enchanting red patterns are embedded in every aspect of the eighteenth floor, tightly wrapping it and making it the most airtight part of this iron cone.

As for Ji Li, who was holding Menggui, if he looked from the ground to the sky, he seemed to be held in the center by a hollow iron cone.

"Interspersed, detained, suppressed, imprisoned, caged, hung upside down..."

For a moment, Ji Li was in a serious trance and got several keywords.

The supernatural incident of a dream ghost led to the information of the red pattern, which allowed him to step onto the narrow staircase of the south building of the ghost as a living person, and thus obtained important clues from the perspective of the ghost that no living person should know!

"This red pattern is no small matter!"

Until now, there was no need to test the second purpose of the dream-breaking operation, as he had already obtained the correct answer.

The special feature of 6002 was not the dream ghost, but the red pattern.

His powerful reasoning ability helped him get a vague truth without knowing the cause and consequence...

"The red pattern I saw might be fake."

Ji Li knew very well that the red pattern was the biggest secret of Yu Lao Street and the most core element.

Then it was impossible for it to be triggered and manipulated by a dream ghost. Then, combined with the contradiction of the red pattern swallowing the dream ghost's attack, the most likely scenario would be...

As a ghost, the dream ghost must have seen the core of Yu Lao Street. If the red pattern was part of this core, then it must have pulled the red pattern into the dream by dreaming.

The red pattern that Ji Li saw now was so realistic, but it was not aggressive and had no root cause.

This was the best verification.

Because the red pattern he saw now was simply a fake made by the dream ghost.

But even if it was a fake, it was enough to force the big-eyed doll back and destroy the dream ghost, becoming the biggest uncontrollable element of this ghost.

This is the special of 6002, because the ghost here has imprinted the core elements of this mission in its dream, giving Ji Li the opportunity to get this important information that he should not have gotten in advance.

Standing in the corridor on the 18th floor, Ji Li's long hair flew backwards, his face was pale, the shouts of the heads beside him, the broken limbs and arms on the doors behind him were waving their claws...

The sixth sense he had trained through countless life and death experiences made him aware of a strong sense of crisis, and his hand holding the head trembled unnaturally in the wind.

Getting the important information that he should not have gotten at this moment means that Ji Li will inevitably encounter the most terrible pursuit!
