The various areas of this city should be named after the effects triggered by Weird Rules.

"Blood Mist" refers to people exploding into blood mist.

"Evil Spirit" probably means people turning into evil spirits.

This is more difficult to handle than instant death.

If someone explodes in the Blood Mist Zone, it's as if they never existed, and it won't affect others.

In the Spirit Realm, not only will people die, but they will also turn into ghosts.

If one person makes a mistake, everyone else will suffer.

The Strange Objects bred by Weird Rules must be much more fierce than the shadowy objects like the Bridal Dress. Gu Chi can't say for sure if the Speech Spirit Technique can kill them.

There is another situation - players can control the evil spirits and continue playing after they turn into evil spirits.

But Gu Chi doesn't want to try it until the last moment.

"How do you plan to confirm the Weird Rules?" Dr. Chen asked.

NPCs cannot mention the Weird Rules, and they cannot ask other players.

Not to mention whether other players know the specific information about the Weird Rules, even if they do, they may not dare to believe it if they are told.

Dr. Chen has seen a lot of players digging pits for each other. At first, he would feel angry and sometimes couldn't stand it, so he would post on the forum to vent his anger. But as the game progressed, Dr. Chen got used to it.

They were a group of old coins, and it was normal to attack their teammates.

"Have you forgotten what I'm best at?" Gu Chi asked.

Dr. Chen: "Isn't it binding?"

Gu Chi: "......"

Ling Mao: "......"

To be honest, Gu Chi was indeed very skilled when he bound her!

Thinking about what happened last night, Ling Mao couldn't help but blush.

There are two reasons for her blush.

First, she misunderstood Gu Chi. Gu Chi didn't have any intentions towards her; she was just being delusional.

Second, the nightmare last night was extremely torturous. God knows how many times she dissected in her dream. When she woke up this morning, her mind was filled with those bloody scenes. It would be better to let Gu Chi do something to her...

Uh...

Anyway!

This man is really amazing. He can actually specify the content of her dreams.

Theft is never good, try looking at bit.ly/3iBfjkV.

Coupled with hypnosis, Ling Mao had a guess about what Chu Tiankuo experienced in the dungeon last time.

Oh, wait!

So, Gu Chi's best skill is dream-building?

Ling Mao suddenly realized, "Are you trying to bring NPCs into the dream and induce them to reveal information about the Weird Rules?"

Gu Chi nodded, "That's right."

This girl isn't that stupid. At least she can be flexible.

Gu Chi had previously said that he wouldn't casually pry into other people's dreams, so he rarely used it. But for this situation, it was necessary.

Observing NPCs could easily lead to accidents. Gu Chi had thought about it for a long time yesterday and finally decided that when the bottom line needed to be flexible, he would be flexible.

Randomly select a lucky guest.

But it's not completely random.

Priority is given to someone who doesn't have companions, is physically strong, and has a tough appearance.

It's best if it's a man.

Gu Chi and the other three strolled around the street and quickly identified a candidate.

They saw a burly man wearing a hat and a full beard following a woman into an alley. He occasionally looked around, his gaze sharp, and his hand in his pocket, probably carrying a weapon.

Andrew said the public security in the city is good. Isn't this a coincidence?

So they also followed the burly man into the alley.

The burly man's attention was all on the woman and he didn't notice the people coming at the alley entrance. A tiger pounced on him, drew out a knife, and pressed it against the woman's neck, causing her to scream.

"What are you doing?!"

Before the burly man could speak, Dr. Chen had already appeared behind him like a ghost, grabbing his wrist and twisting it lightly.

Crack.

"Ah!"

The burly man screamed in pain, and the knife fell to the ground.

Dr. Chen turned around, grabbed the burly man's right hand, and suddenly exerted force, throwing the burly man into the air with a shoulder throw that didn't touch his shoulder.

The burly man was thrown into a mess, both shocked and frightened.

Now it was his turn to ask, "What are you doing?!"

Dr. Chen gestured for the frightened woman to leave before saying to the burly man, "Go to sleep."

Naturally, sleeping should be done in a hotel.

It's not easy to operate in the alley where someone could come at any time.

The burly man behaved obediently all the way.

After all, there was a surgical knife quietly pointing at his waist.

Still a luxurious suite.

Ling Mao closed the door.

Dr. Chen pushed the burly man onto the bed.

Gu Chi asked, "What's your name?"

The muscular burly man hugged his arms and kept backing away, fearfully saying, "Le... Le Ge."

Gu Chi said, "Okay, go to sleep."

Le Ge nervously looked into Gu Chi's eyes, wanting to say something, but suddenly felt a buzzing in his head. A wave of intense drowsiness followed, causing him to black out and fall onto the bed.With a mental strength of 9.2 and level 11 Dream Manipulation Technique, Gu Chi no longer needed auxiliary methods like counting or tapping shoulders to hypnotize ordinary people. To put it in an exaggerated way, it was like "whoever he stares at, falls asleep."

When Le Ge opened his eyes again, he found himself in an interrogation room.

He was sitting on a stool, his hands cuffed with silver handcuffs, and his clothes had been changed to a blue vest of the detention center.

In the City of Intrigue, a blue vest meant death penalty.

This made Le Ge subconsciously a little nervous, but then he remembered that he seemed to have already made amends for his crimes, and had a chance to change his death sentence to life imprisonment, so he didn't have to be a test subject for the shadows.

"Answer my questions properly, and you might even get out." The interrogator sitting across from him, Gu Chi, began.

Le Ge nodded, "I will cooperate."

"That's even better." Gu Chi said, "Before the formal interrogation, you need to remember one thing."

He pointed to the ceiling, "This room is the only place in the City of Intrigue that is not affected by the Weird Rules. It will protect your safety, and you can speak freely."

This room is not affected by the Weird Rules - this was a psychological suggestion.

Upon hearing the words "Weird Rules", Le Ge's eyes widened, "How can you..."

How can you say "Weird Rules" - this was to enhance the effect of the suggestion.

Gu Chi continued, "Not only can I say it, I can also write it, and I can tell you explicitly that the Weird Rule of the Blood Mist Zone is not to speak."

The second time to enhance the suggestion - three layers of BUFF stacked to the max.

While Le Ge was shocked, he also somewhat believed Gu Chi's words.

The fact was right in front of him, and his cognition had been somewhat shaken.

Gu Chi eased his tension appropriately and first asked some irrelevant topics: "In which areas have you lived?"

"The Blood Mist Zone, the Withered Zone, and the Spirit Realm." Le Ge answered.

Gu Chi asked again, "Which area did you stay the longest?"

Le Ge: "The Spirit Realm."

Gu Chi: "Why?"

Le Ge: "Because I never make mistakes."

He had spent most of his thirty-plus years in the Spirit Realm, where the Weird Rules couldn't hurt him. His parents had died long ago, he was abused by his relatives as a child, and the girl he had liked when he was young had also died in the Withered Zone...

Le Ge showed a self-mocking smile. For someone like him, who had lost all his emotions, how could he possibly make a mistake?

Sometimes Le Ge thought that perhaps he himself was a lonely and cold Evil Spirit, so he was most suited to stay in the Spirit Realm.

Gu Chi noticed Le Ge's emotional fluctuations and asked, "Then tell me, what is the Weird Rule of the Spirit Realm?"

"It's not to..." Halfway through his sentence, Le Ge suddenly covered his mouth, staring at Gu Chi with a fear in his eyes that he had never shown even when facing the death penalty.

His face even twisted because of this, and his hand covering his mouth was seeping blood from between his fingers - he was biting his lip hard to keep his mouth shut.

The twice-emphasized psychological suggestion was extremely powerful. It had made Le Ge naturally want to blurt out the answer - Le Ge wanted to say it in his heart, but his body was stopping him. This was a survival instinct ingrained in his bones.

As an ordinary person, Le Ge couldn't resist his hypnosis, unless the psychological shadow and fear caused by the Weird Rules had formed the deepest subconsciousness in Le Ge, helping him resist.

Andrew was not wrong, the Weird Rules were their ruler, a tyrant who disregarded life, making them dare not violate the taboo deep in their hearts until death. All the warmth and laughter were illusions, and only they knew the real pain.

Gu Chi had to use some special means.

It was a bit risky to do so. Once Le Ge realized that this was a dream, he could launch a counterattack.

The master of the dream is invincible in the dream.

But he thought Le Ge probably wasn't that smart.

Level 11 Dream Manipulation Technique had allowed Gu Chi to take over, borrowing the power of Le Ge's dream. He spoke again, and his stern voice exploded directly in Le Ge's mind.

"Tell me the Weird Rule of the Spirit Realm!"

"Tell me!"

"No!" At this moment, Le Ge was like a madman. He held his head in pain, the handcuffs on his wrist jingling, blood flowing from his eardrums, veins bulging on the back of his hand, shaking his head desperately, trying to shake off the voice echoing in his mind.

"Tell me!"

"Tell me!!"

Boom!

In the midst of his struggle, Le Ge felt as if his head was about to explode, his eyes filled with bloodshot, and finally unable to withstand the immense mental pressure, influenced by Gu Chi's words, he cried out the Weird Rule with tears streaming down his face -

"It's crying!"

"It's not to cry!"

"Even if the people around me die one by one, even if I watch her wither in front of me, I must not shed a single tear!!"
