Weird Regulator

Chapter 3 The Substitute

The strange feeling in Ji Li's heart became stronger and stronger. He always felt that something was not right about this funeral procession, but he couldn't put his finger on it.

And then, he heard a heart-rending scream, coming from none other than those drunkards!

Without hesitation, he ran immediately. On the way, he saw that there were only two drunkards left. The fat man who drank the most was nowhere to be seen!

Ji Li's eyelids twitched, and he immediately realized that the first deceased had appeared!

The tall and thin man and Huang Mao were at a loss for words at the moment. They could only look at Ji Li and then at the blurry funeral procession, unable to say a word.

Ji Li grabbed the tall, thin man with a confused expression and asked in a low voice, "What just happened!"

The tall and thin man pointed at the stone wall where Liu Zi was in confusion and fear, trembling: "Liu Zi... Liu Zi..."

Ji Li pushed him away impatiently and turned to look at Huang Mao.

Huang Mao was the most sober among the three people present. He breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at the funeral procession that was gradually disappearing, and said softly: "We are hiding here, and when those people leave, we just turn our heads." , Liuzi disappeared directly on the spot, and until now we don’t know what happened..."

disappear suddenly…

Ji Li's heart trembled, and he quickly asked: "Is that all?"

Huang Mao was still frightened, but he couldn't figure it out. He hesitated and said, "I only heard three words before he disappeared."

"how do I……"

"that's it?"

"that's it!"

Ji Li's face was livid, he looked at the funeral procession that was gradually going away and speculated in his mind.

Liuzi's murder must have triggered a dead end.

Perhaps what he saw before his death and his last words that were not his last words would reveal some clues.

But everything is too blurry to recall.

"Things won't be that simple. Those people will definitely come back and kill us all!"

As soon as these words came to my mind, the funeral procession that had disappeared into the alley showed its head again and was rapidly approaching in the direction of Ji Li and others!

The tall and thin man looked like he had seen a ghost and was about to run away, but Ji Li grabbed his wrist and forced him to stay here.

"Those who can't escape may still have a chance of survival if they stay and find out the rules for its killing!" Ji Li said word by word as he looked at the approaching team.

"what is it?"

"ghost."

The tall and thin man and Huang Mao looked at each other and took a step back. They looked at Ji Li as if they were looking at a psychopath.

But they didn't escape. Maybe they subconsciously realized that there was something supernatural among those people in white!

"When the funeral procession first approached, I kept an eye on everyone's movements.

Until Liuzi died, I can be sure that the man in white had no chance to take action.

Well, maybe the real exception is the coffin! "

This is the second time a living person collides with a funeral procession.

Now Ji Li's attention was entirely on the coffin.

As the distance shortened, he still found nothing unusual.

At least that's what it looked like from the outside. The coffin was heavy and obviously contained a body.

"Huh? Do you think the weight of the coffin has changed?" Just when Ji Li was confused, a cold and slightly doubtful voice from the third personality in his mind appeared.

"hiss…"

"The ropes on the shoulders of the coffin bearers have fallen a little lower than before!"

Ji Li's eyes lit up and he followed the third personality's words.

Sure enough, as he said, this time he passed by.

The shoulders of the four coffin bearers were cut into the flesh by the ropes, and their steps were much heavier than before.

"Where did Liuzi's body go?" This question suddenly appeared in Ji Li's mind, and his thinking began to expand boldly.

Generally speaking, ghosts don’t do things randomly, every detail is a matter of life and death!

Liu Zi died, so why did his body disappear?

But if you think about the increased weight of the coffin, is it possible that the coffin now contains the corpses of the ghost and the six sons? !

Ji Li looked at the coffin that was getting closer and closer, and he clearly felt a chilling aura that shook his mind.

Liuzi's death was obviously due to seeing something, judging from the position he was at at that time.

He should be very close to the coffin!

Ji Li took a breath of air. Everything abnormal was related to the coffin...

"Then it seems that the coffin holds the deepest secret. If we want to find clues, we must expose this secret!"

Ji Li's eyes were filled with confusion. It wouldn't take a moment for the coffin to pass by his location. This was his rare chance.

But it is still unclear whether opening the coffin will lead to life or death. His repeated deaths made him walk on thin ice every step of the way.

He slowly turned his head and looked at the two silent men beside him. If he wanted to achieve his goal at the lowest cost, the easiest way was of course to use the people around him...

"You two, I can tell you frankly that the six sons were killed by the ghost in the coffin!"

The tall and thin man suddenly shrank his neck and looked at Ji Li with more and more panic.

Huang Mao's psychological quality was much better than his. After a few struggles, he asked: "What do you mean..."

Ji Li breathed a long sigh of relief and said quietly: "Everyone in this alley has been targeted by it. Only by finding out its killing rules, maybe we still have a chance to survive!"

Then he changed the topic, looked at Huang Mao and the lanky man, took out two sharp knives from his bag, and threw them in front of them.

"I'll give you a choice. If you believe me, just pick up the knife and let's lift the lid of the coffin from all directions at the same time!"

quiet……

The scene froze for a brief moment following Ji Li's words, and the air was filled with confusion and fear.

“No…no!

Even if what you said is true, the evil ghost is in the coffin, and if we go to open the coffin, we are asking for death! "The tall and lanky man clung to the wall, growling in retort.

Ji Li narrowed his eyes and said nothing, but Huang Mao picked up the sharp knife first.

"He's right, the six sons died tragically without any reason, all of this was due to supernatural forces!

At the time of death, only Liuzi was closest to the coffin, so all sources must be on top of the coffin. "

Huang Mao's psychological quality and calm mind have caught up with Ji Li, a "professional" to a certain extent.

He was sweating profusely and clutching the knife, and looked at Ji Li: "Are you sure...if we open the coffin, will we be able to discover the rules of killing by ghosts?"

Ji Li nodded solemnly, his hand also climbed to the back of his waist and tightened his grip on the handle of the knife.

His eyes fell on the coffin that was about to arrive. Different from the last time he passed by, he smelled a strange smell after close contact...

The smell of death!

He has experienced this taste more than once, and it all comes from himself!

Then he looked at the coffin, which was shaking up and down and obviously heavy. He was almost 80% sure that Liuzi's body was in the coffin!

In response to Huang Mao's question, his tone was very light, but with indescribable confidence:

“The coffin hides ghosts, but it also hides the rules of killing.

As long as we overcome fear and master this hidden rule, we will definitely win this time! "

Ji Li clutched the handle of the knife. He did not look at where Huang Mao and the lanky man were. Instead, he walked straight to a corner. At this position, he was facing the southeast corner of the coffin.

At the same time, after much hesitation, Huang Mao chose to stand parallel to the left side of Ji Li, facing the northeast corner of the coffin.

The tall and thin man chose to stand next to Huang Mao. He never felt confident, especially after looking at the group of people in white with facial expressions, his legs were shaking.

When Ji Li saw all this from the corner of his eye, a cryptic smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

He didn't speak, but the third personality's slight sigh sounded in his mind.

"What you did will undoubtedly push these two people to a dead end...

The plan is good, and opening the coffin is indeed a good way to take the initiative, but the risks are still high.

If you want to find out the hidden rules of killing, you must first see the killing.

You use the two reasons of "courage" and "survival" to force them to join your action, just to equalize the ghost's killing probability.

I reduced my 100% to you to 30%..."

Having said all the words, it can be seen that the wisdom of the third personality is relatively outstanding, and he almost instantly understood Ji Li's intention.

All sounds disappeared, and living people and ghosts were looking for an opportunity.

At this moment, the coffin arrived quietly.

Ji Li held the knife in his right hand, but he watched the coffin pass by and did not take action immediately.

When the length of the coffin had reached the sides of the three living people, he suddenly said: "Now!"

The tall and thin man with yellow hair felt as if a thunder exploded in his ears, and he subconsciously stabbed the knife in his hand towards the coffin lid!

But only Ji Li remained unmoved.

He ordered the two men to act, but he remained aloof.

The third personality guessed wrong. Ji Li never thought about participating in this plan!

What he wanted to see was that these two people would open the coffin, and it would be them who would trigger the dead end. Ji Li's chance of being attacked was basically zero!

But Huang Mao and the tall and thin man's knife had not yet reached the coffin lid.

Ji Li suddenly heard a muffled "squeak" sound from his side!

Haven't realized what the sound is yet.

His eyes were suddenly reflected by something with strong light, and he subconsciously closed them together, losing his vision for a moment.

Ji Li's heart twitched suddenly, and he was about to run away when he realized something was wrong.

But he found that his left arm was pinched by a cold and biting palm. His whole body seemed to have been bitten by a poisonous snake, and he completely lost his ability to resist!

A huge force without any reason started from that palm and pulled hard!

Ji Li had no ability to fight back and fell towards the coffin!

The attack on his side was too hasty and he had no time to react, but the lanky man and Huang Mao who were always alert to the surroundings saw what happened immediately.

The tall and thin man was completely frightened. He looked at the coffin helplessly. When he passed by Ji Li, the lid of the coffin was pushed open from the inside!

Then something lit up, and a bloodless arm stretched out from inside, grabbing Ji Li by force.

He took two trembling steps back and hugged the wall, but his eyes uncontrollably looked at the open coffin...

Immediately afterwards, his pupils suddenly shrank, as if he discovered some extremely horrifying scene that should never happen.

Huang Mao on the other side had no idea what was going on with the tall and thin man.

He was closest to Ji Li. When he saw the accident, he subconsciously hugged Ji Li's body to prevent death from coming.

It happened very quickly, in only half a second.

But with the source of Huang Mao's power, Ji Li seemed to finally have a moment to react. He immediately raised the knife he had prepared in advance, pointed it at his left wrist, and stabbed it hard!

In a daze, he saw the open coffin through the streetlight, but could not see the dark scene inside.

Only one hand stretched out from the coffin, grabbing his wrist like a pair of iron pincers!

And just when the knife was about to cut off and Ji Li's hair stood on end, a horrific scream came from the tall and thin man!

And...an unknown warning.

"Don't... look at it!"

Tall and thin, in distress.

When Ji Li was supposed to be pulled into the coffin, he became a substitute inexplicably and "by coincidence".

Ji Li saw the tall and thin man turn into a black shadow and be forcibly pulled into the coffin, and then heard a "plop".

The ghosts no longer attacked him, and the coffin lid closed instantly, but there was a heartbreaking pain in the joints of his left hand, and he gritted his teeth and looked.

The tightly closed coffin lid was pressing down on his left hand.

The pain came like a tide, and the madness in his eyes expanded even more!

No one paid attention to the tall and thin man's death and that reminder at this time.

The coffin was still moving, with so much force that it actually held Ji Li's left hand and dragged him and Huang Mao along!

Blood marks began to appear on Ji Li's skin from his left wrist down, and his skin was rubbed off like crazy.

His eyes were filled with blood, and the knife finally reached its limit and suddenly fell from the air!

It was inserted into the left wrist that had been crushed by the coffin lid, cutting the hard bone again and again!

Survive with a broken hand!

The heartbreaking sound was the only abnormal movement in the entire alley, which brought the tragedy here to another level!

The two remaining living people completely lost all their strength and fell on the roadside, watching the life-devouring coffin follow the man in white farther and farther away.

Ji Li was the second person to be attacked, but he did not die.

The price was that his left hand was locked into the coffin together with the tall and thin man who "died" for unknown reasons!
