Weird Regulator

After the fourth act ends, the game's plot falls into its own time.

From this moment on, how subsequent events develop will depend on the decisions of the two store managers present.

Room 1001 without lights.

Darkness has long become their most familiar color.

Hou Guisheng leaned against the corner of the wall, looking at the bright moon outside the window with his dark eyes.

The silver wine flask was held in his hand, shining with crescent-colored brilliance, and streaked across his cheek like a knife carving.

Ji Li sat on the sofa, a spark sparkling between his fingers, and plumes of smoke rising from there.

In his eyes as calm as water, the dim night is also intoxicated, lingering gracefully.

Now, there are only two of them left in the game world.

To be precise, they are the only ones who have the intention and strength to continue this game.

Ji Li and Hou Guisheng represent the top intelligence, courage, determination and courage among the ten players.

Then, what we are looking for in the game world is most likely related to the supernatural world.

Hou Guisheng took a sip of wine, let it wet his clothes casually, and spoke softly.

Three identities, four worlds.

Zeng Jili believed that the protagonist of the game was searching for something while collecting evidence in the world.

But judging from what he has now, he is not looking, but checking.

Check, check again and again.

Verifying the authenticity of this world.

Act 1, the father comes back from the dead;

Act 2, notes lost in memory;

The third act, the plot of the inexplicable disappearance;

The fourth act, the hunting of human hearts and ghost hearts;

Act One—False Wishes;

Act 2 - The fear of loss;

Act 3 - Chapters of confusion;

Act 4 - The reversal of human and ghost;

The world is upside down, the reality of humans and ghosts.

At this point, the current fifth act is introduced, a plot independently outlined by the player (i.e. the protagonist):

Escape from falsehood and return to reality.

This game is like a dream in which humans and ghosts are indistinguishable. After the verification in the first four scenes, you wake up.

In the hidden plot, the last step that was interrupted: waking up.

Give you back your true self.

So, be shameless.

Being faceless means losing the boundaries of identity in this dream where humans and ghosts are indistinguishable.

Only without identity can one get out of the original dream and return to the real world.

A living person who has had his face torn off is a person without a face.

It is a mutilated experiment and represents the product of failure.

Ghosts that tear off their faces are called faceless ghosts.

This is the lost person trapped in a dream of nothingness, representing the terrifying reality.

So, become a faceless person.

A new character who has completely lost his face and completely shed his identity as a human and a ghost.

Go and open the door.

Fang Shenyan had already seen the answer through the vermilion wood carvings.

At the same time, this answer is also established in the game world.

For the time being, there is no need to worry about why the door is opened. First, consider how to open the door.

1. Lose face;

2. Hold the key;

3. Find the door;

The ultimate goal: to go to the root world, perhaps also called the real world.

The three elements are the same as expected before.

Ji Li has the key;

The door seems to have an answer.

The supernatural world is vaguely a passage connecting the dual worlds of reality and games.

And this passage is always presented in a incomplete way, and each time it is opened, it corresponds to a single floor.

When Tian Xiaoou became a faceless ghost, he went to the place where Ripples came from.

Come to think of it, become a faceless man, open up the supernatural world, follow the faceless ghost, and you can find where the ripples come from.

And there, there is a high probability that the gate is located.

At present, the only question is how to become a faceless person.

Zeng Ji Li and Fang Shenyan believed that the conditions for achieving this factor lie in the real world.

But judging from what happened before, it still requires interaction between reality and games.

and……

Sucheng River is the key.

Because becoming a faceless man requires Su Chenghe to bring him into the supernatural world.

A faceless person is not something we gamers can be. Who is your candidate?

Hou Guisheng does not seem to focus on becoming a faceless person, he is more concerned about who will act.

Ji Li blew out a smoke ring and responded as expected:

Fang Shenyan.

He holds one of the elements to open the door, so he naturally has to assign his own people to do it.

Hou Guisheng's expression did not fluctuate, he just let the moonlight flow on his face and said:

When Chen Hansheng reached the final floor, he made the fastest progress and was already ahead of Fang Shenyan.

It has been determined that the conditions for achieving the elements must be realistic and consistent with the game.

In reality, there are many candidates: Li Yi, Luo Xian, Chen Hansheng, Fang Shenyan... and even Clyde and others are still there.

But the only remaining characters in the game are Ji Li and Hou Guisheng.

It can be said that the closest people to clearing the store manager task this time are the third branch and the seventh branch.

Of course Hou Guisheng hopes Chen Hansheng; Ji Li naturally hopes Fang Shenyan.

Ji Li frowned slightly, put out the cigarette in his hand, turned around and said:

“Second element: The key is in my hand.

I am qualified to identify the person who opened the door.

Hou Guisheng turned around and said without any hesitation:

“The first element: losing face, I know the way to become a faceless person.

I also have this qualification.

Tit for tat, equal advantage.

The selection issue can be put aside for now, because we have to wait and see whether Chen Hansheng and Fang Shenyan can come out alive from the third floor.

During this time, they still have to face a big problem.

Ji Li slowly got up from the sofa, stood in the hall, looked at him for a long time and then said:

“The third element is that the prerequisite for opening the door is to open the supernatural world on a large scale.

Eighteen floors of the Black and White Building. The worst result requires eighteen head alarm clocks.

I have five now.

Hou Guisheng's eyes grew colder, he reached into his bag and took out a human head, placing it on the window sill.

“Including me, we have a total of six, and we are still short of twelve.

We have to take it step by step.

Ji Li looked sideways at him and remained silent.

Hou Guisheng squinted his eyes, hesitated for a moment and then briefly explained:

I don't have any resurrection coins on me either, don't ask.

When the matter is over, I will tell you the reason for the loss and the secret of the second act.

No one knows which level of the supernatural world the gate is on.

The only way to find the location of the gate is to go with the Faceless Ghost, which requires a lot of head alarms.

The worst possible outcome is that eighteen heads are needed to cover the eighteen floors.

But no matter what, the current number of six is ​​definitely not enough.

Ji Li raised his hand and took out three resurrection coins from his pocket, spreading them out in his palm.

I can take out at most three more heads, and we have to take action on the remaining number.

Hunt, remaining players.

Gu Qingyun, Xue Tingtao, Bai Huaiguang...

Gu Qingyun and Xue Tingtao are on the sixteenth floor, planning the so-called game loophole plan.

Bai Huaiguang is missing and is likely to be outside the main plot.

The deputy manager of the Tenth Store, named Quan Liang, is a troublemaker.

Because this person doesn't seem to appear in the game.

Hou Guisheng obviously knows more about the ten major branches than Ji Li, and he is deeply involved in the first and second scenes.

The situation is not optimistic.

Even if they could kill all four of them and grab two alarm clocks each, they still wouldn't be able to reach eighteen.

What's more, with Bai Huaiguang and Quan Liang missing, this number will be halved again.

You can grab as much as you can. Starting from Gu Qingyun and Xue Tingtao, take four heads first to make up to ten round numbers.

besides……

Ji Li took out a resurrection coin and threw it into the air. The silver light shone in the night, and Hou Guisheng held it firmly in his palm.

One life for another, I want you to help me kill someone.
