Chapter 736: Hidden plot
A little swaying candlelight illuminates a small piece of darkness.
The lenses in the TV move, playing at an angle that overlooks the global view.
Ji Li played with the lighter in his hand and took a few steps closer to the position of the TV.
A shriveled and thin hand occupied the lower right corner of the screen, and used the slender nails to pluck the flames to make the light more prosperous.
Old Mrs. Hu, appeared.
She was wearing a red cotton jacket, with her gray-white hair tied with two pigtails hanging on her shoulders, and sat cross-legged on the ground to occupy only a small shadow.
Ji Li seemed to take a step closer to see her appearance, but her perspective only touched her chest.
The slim woman in the clinic guide has not moved since she finished saying that.
Instead, the three men helped the thin man in the middle to the center of the living room.
"Sit down."
Old Mrs. Hu's position is a shadow, and she can only hear her sound but cannot see her shape.
The thin man was helped to a chair opposite Mrs. Hu, and his hunched figure stretched a little.
Ji Li looked at him, but could only see his back trembling slightly, but he could not see more information.
After the other three helped him and sat down, they stood outside the candlelight and formed a row as if they were separated from the situation.
Judging from the current situation, the six people in the picture have already identified their identities.
Old Mrs. Hu, a witch who treats medical treatment.
A slim woman, clinic guide.
The thin one is a patient.
Three men are the patients' companions.
Ji Li lit a cigarette with great interest and couldn't help but glance at the living room where he was.
So, what drama will be played in the next video?
Of course it's a medical treatment.
Although Ji Li didn't know much about these, he also heard about them because he was exposed to them every day.
For professions such as witches, people with Yin, Feng Shui masters, etc., they will also treat people with "illness".
However, this type of "disease" does not only refer to diseases in the traditional sense, but "evil disease" or "external disease".
Evil diseases usually refer to being affected by ghosts and being interfered with by sperm and being disturbed by normal life.
Obviously, thin people are mentally depressed and slow to move. This is why they come to treat them.
Ji Li nodded secretly, and he probably guessed the content of the video behind.
It should be the process of Mrs. Hu treating her.
Since Ji Li is forcibly watching the video, this is the important part.
What's more, according to Gu Xingjian's description, Mrs. Hu is a witch with "some means".
"Drinking, food, housing, and transportation are four steps for exorcising evil spirits.
One drink can determine the origin of the evil spirit; two food can lock in the traces of the evil spirit; three dwellings can erase the existence of the evil spirit; four actions can return your original body.
Since you have come to me, some things need to be explained in advance.
During the medical treatment, you cannot resist, speak, or move rashly, and hand your life in my hands.
I'll ask you again, are you sure you want me to see a doctor?"
"Drinking, eating, living, travel?"
Ji Li shook his head. His first reaction was these four words, but from the following words, it should be:
"Induce, recognize, punish, wake up!"
Old Mrs. Hu stopped talking and handed over the right to speak to the thin one, but he didn't seem to think for too long.
A few seconds later, Ji Li heard a "crunch" sound, like a chair moving.
In the picture, the thin person leaned on the back of the chair, his head tilted to one side, as if he was in a fainting state.
Ji Li vaguely saw a thin layer of smoke gradually appearing beside Old Mrs. Hu.
The ceremony of exorcism has begun.
The first step is to lead.
The smoke slowly spread around Mrs. Hu, and pointed directly at the thin ones with a target.
The smoke, like flexible thin snakes, began to drill around the thin person.
The thin white smoke flowed out through his two nostrils and eventually disappeared.
“Failed?”
Ji Li was so impressed that he carefully observed Old Mrs. Hu's hands and saw that he trembled slightly.
"Mother-in-law, this cigarette is wrong..."
"shut up!"
One of the three accompanying people who watched the show later also saw something wrong, but he spoke and asked but had not finished speaking.
The graceful woman standing at the door interrupted her sternly.
Ji Li saw that Old Mrs. Hu's thin body was wrapped in a red cotton jacket, and there was a sign of tilting.
"The evil spirit is not on him..."
thump……
The sound of a living person falling down sounded, and the picture on the TV was frozen.
The video is finished playing.
What remains is infinite doubt...
Ji Li frowned and stared at the last scene on the screen.
On the screen, a faint flame illuminated the fallen body of Mrs. Hu and was frozen in her right hand.
The palm that was like air-dried, bent inward and pressed against his chest.
Old Mrs. Hu is dead?
Ji Li didn't know, he only knew that the evil-exorcist ceremony failed at the beginning.
The four steps of "leading, conscious, punishing, and awakening" were not read in all the first ones.
In the freeze-framed picture, the old lady Hu fell on the ground, the fainting thin man, three side by side companions, and the graceful clinician.
But the last sentence of Mrs. Hu said, "The evil demon is not on the thin one."
The video has a beginning and no end, and it is full of fragmentary information. What is this supernatural incident?
"Sizi..."
At this moment, the freezing TV began to flash with snowflakes again.
Ji Li couldn't help but take two steps back and came to the wall to look at it vigilantly.
This time, the snowflakes only existed for a moment, and immediately changed into a string of blood-red small characters.
...
"Tip: You have broken into an unknown location and triggered the hidden plot."
Based on existing clues, continue to complete the exorcism ritual.
If you complete successfully, you can pass the level and you can obtain 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 surprise.
Everything is completely different from what he imagined.
The tenth floor is not the third act!
Confusion and incomprehension filled his mind, because judging from the clues I had learned before.
There is a player on the tenth floor, with room number 1001, and Fang Shenyan is also here.
All of this corresponds to the videotape he got.
But it is just a hidden plot!
That is to say, Ji Li shouldn't have come here, the props for playing videotapes should be in another location.
But 1001, what do these four numbers represent?
How did Fang Shenyan come to 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 has at present, he can only be sure that there is what he wants on the tenth floor, and the clues he leaves here will be cut off.
Ji Li always believed that the route he took was the most correct and perfect.
But now, it is definitely not.
He must have missed some important clue in the first and second acts.
Or if there is a mistake in a certain link, the clues are missing and the correct third act cannot be opened.
Overall, 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 the option.
A: Accept the challenge.
...
“You choose to accept the challenge and will be rewarded by the brave, and good luck!
Chapter completed!
