"Hmm...... What is this? ”

Xiao Yi picked up the rule paper and glanced at it.

The dense content on it made his brow furrow, and he immediately threw it back.

"What the hell is written......"

Such an important rule document is eager for everyone else to provide it immediately. And Xiao Yi didn't even look at it, he didn't care at all.

Everyone in the live broadcast room watched this scene, they were all used to it, and they didn't have much reaction in their hearts.

Anyway, Xiao Yi basically hasn't read the rules and documents at any time, can he still clear the customs if he doesn't do it? And why bother?

Today, there is no one who screams as much as before.

However, the content of the rule document is still very important, so they have been preparing for it and learned about the content of the rule document through the live broadcast room in other countries.

It reads as follows:

[Strange Tale Dungeon: The Return]

You are one of the survivors of a huge accident, and the huge psychological trauma has caused you to suffer from mental illness, and the specific situation is that you can often see some hallucinations that ordinary people cannot understand, and your life is in shambles. Your friend Carl has written to you inviting you to his clinic in a small seaside town to catch up on the old days. But it's strange that Carl always insists in his letters that you must keep a secret. Please note that you will encounter various hallucinations on the rest of the journey, and only the bottle of medicine you are carrying will be able to suppress them...... But perhaps, it will be happier to let illusions erode you. 】

[Rule 1: The physical abilities of the Chosen One will be limited to the level of ordinary people, and then solving the problem by violent means will become an act of self-infliction. 】

[Rule 2: The residents of that town are more irritable because they can't catch fish for a long time, which is one of the main sources of income for the town. In addition, for various reasons, outsiders are also very unwelcome, so it is best not to cause trouble. 】

[Rule 3: Every word and deed, thoughts, beliefs, and essence of all residents in the town are absolute, and they are completely unaffected by the abilities of the Chosen One. Therefore, if you want to extract information from them, you need to obtain it through words and actions. 】

[Rule 4: Your hallucinations will torment you from time to time, but please distinguish between reality and hallucinations, and it is best not to let more people know that you have seen hallucinations.] 】

[Rule 5: Illusion will definitely accompany you, and will not be interfered with by any ability or other means, and your reason will inevitably be tortured again and again. 】

[Rule 6: Before the treatment is officially started, the only way to suppress hallucinations is the bottle of medicine you carry with you.] 】

[Rule 7: The drugs that can suppress hallucinations are limited, and they are necessarily not enough to persist until the time of treatment, so ...... It is necessary to judge when drugs must be used, and when you can only rely on your own will to survive the torment of hallucinations. 】

[Rule 8: When you can be treated, and how effective the treatment is, depends on your own actions. The longer it drags on, the more unpredictable the outcome becomes. 】

[Rule 9: Remember, it's reality that's more terrifying than hallucination.] So there's more to it than just illusions to fight. 】

[Clearance conditions: After receiving treatment, cure yourself of hallucinations...... Or, a complete step into madness. 】

Looking at the content of these rules and documents, everyone couldn't help but be stunned.

More precisely, looking at the conditions for clearing the customs, I fell into deep thought.

【…… Into complete madness? What does that mean? Could it be that you have to go insane to clear the customs? 】

[Then this is too cub to breed! ] Even if you clear the customs, you'll become a madman, and you won't have to do it at all for the next time you have a copy of the rules! 】

[Don't worry, the clearance conditions say that you can also clear the level by curing your hallucinations, and the eighth rule also indicates that the effect of the treatment depends on your own actions. In other words, the specifics depend on Xiao Yige's operation. 】

[But then again, it's a set of hallucinations, it seems that the main focus of this copy is a spiritual pollution, no wonder the opening lightning strikes, it seems that the weird thing is also an illusion? ] 】

[But fortunately, Xiao Yige is the most innocent thing about those gods and ghosts, just an illusion, what is there to be afraid of? ] It's still easy this time~]

At the same time, Xiao Yi also went outside the cabin again, looked at the looming things in the ocean above, and nodded slightly.

"What the hell is that? After all, it is impossible that the sea is in the sky, and ...... It's impossible for a boat to float in such a place where there is nothing. ”

The bizarre and uncommon sense phenomenon made Xiao also puzzled.

As the saying goes, if you learn mathematics, physics and chemistry well, you are not afraid to travel all over the world, and if you don't learn mathematics, physics and chemistry well, life is full of magic.

Xiao also believes that this wonderful and mysterious phenomenon in front of him can be explained by scientific theories.

But...... With his current level of knowledge, it is difficult to figure out this phenomenon.

Xiao Yi still has a relatively clear understanding of his knowledge level, after all, there is no end to learning, knowledge is inexhaustible, and Xiao Yi himself knows that he has not actually studied the so-called physical chemistry, because there is only one mathematics in the primary school curriculum, and Xiao can only multiply the table of ninety-nine.

Besides, the knowledge of so many extremely smart scientists is not profound enough, and Xiao Yi doesn't care much about this, and indifferently accepts that he can't understand this phenomenon.

However, not being able to understand does not mean that you cannot understand it.

Suddenly, Xiao Yi seemed to think of something, and he couldn't help but take a deep breath:

"Shhh...... Could it be that what I am seeing now is the scene from the story? ”

[Still in the story!] Why are you still thinking about the last dungeon! 】

Xiao Yi himself quickly denied this, "No, the scene in the story or something, that's even more unlikely, that's too unscientific......"

To be honest, what happened to the incident he encountered before, Xiao Yi still hasn't been able to figure it out.

However, Xiao also knows that the current work is still the priority.

Xiao Yi looked at the ocean in the sky again, and then he thought of another possibility.

"Shhh...... Could it be that this is actually my dream? Is it a real dream this time? That ......"

Xiao Yi seemed to think of something, and he immediately took action.

Xiao also stood on the railing of the ship and looked down at the bottomless abyss below, where there was nothing.

At the same time, Xiao is also in the rocking boat, and it is not strange when he falls.

Everyone in the live broadcast room was so frightened that their heartbeats missed a beat when they saw Xiao Yi's action, they were all nervous, and at the same time they were very confused.

[Brother Xiao Yi, what does he want to do!? 】

Then, I heard Xiao say the same:

"It's probably a dream here, yes, I read a movie that says that in a dream, as long as you feel a strong sense of falling, you can wake up, so let's try it here!"

【………… Yes? 】

When they heard this, everyone was even more shocked!

[Brother! Don't jump! That's the setting in the movie, and it's not necessarily the same as this brother's copy! 】

[And it doesn't have to be a dream!] It's more likely to be a hallucination! If Brother Xiao Yige is really standing somewhere and jumping down in real circumstances at this moment, it will really be more than lucky! 】

However, Xiao could not hear the voices of the others, and he jumped straight towards the abyss, which was nothing, maybe not even the bottom, without a trace of confusion.

This frightened many viewers so much that they covered their eyes directly.

Soon, Xiao Yi felt a strong sense of falling, and then, he felt that his back had been impacted! The feeling of falling quickly dissipated.

Feeling the down-to-earth feeling on his back, Xiao Yi immediately came back to his senses and looked around.

Then he found himself lying on the little bed in the cabin room, and everything in the room was the same as before, not even the position of the furnishings had changed.

"Sure enough......," Xiao Yi nodded slightly, "I said that it must have been a dream just now." ”

Watching this scene, many viewers also breathed a sigh of relief, as long as nothing happened.

Xiao Yi fumbled around himself again, and soon found his mobile phone.

"Oh! Sure enough, it's on my body! I said how could I put my phone somewhere else, this is the crystallization of modern human civilization! It's a must-have for life! ”

However, while Xiao was also looking for his mobile phone, he also felt a foreign body feeling coming from his body.

There's something in my pocket.

"What is this?" Xiao Yi picked it up and saw that it was a medicine bottle, "This is ...... Medicine? I wondered if I wasn't sick, but whose medicine was it? ”

Needless to say, it is the only drug that can suppress hallucinations before the official treatment is carried out.

However, Xiao Yi himself must not understand.

Therefore, out of curiosity, Xiao Yi opened the medicine bottle and looked at it.

Inside was a small half-bottle of white granular pills left, and it really didn't take long.

However, what was unexpected was that Xiao Yi actually picked up one of the drugs out of curiosity, put it in his mouth and chewed it.

【………… Yes? That's how he eats!? That medicine is quite precious! It's just a waste? 】

"Hmm...... Well...... Well? Xiao Yizheng was chewing, and suddenly realized that something was wrong, and immediately spit out the medicine, "Phew! Bah! It tastes so strange, it's not delicious. I'll forget it, so let's not do it. ”

With that, Xiao Yi put the medicine on the table in the cabin room and abandoned it there.

[Ah, this ............]

And the live broadcast room was silent.

"So...... Now that I have my phone and wake up from my dream, let's go out and see what is going on. ”

With that, Xiao Yi walked out of the room.

Outside the door, there was no dim, eerie scene, but a very calm and normal scene.

The sea is just below, and the gentle waves are constantly surging into the distance.

The sound of the waves is also calm, with occasional bird calls.

It's just dawning, and it's ...... Xiao also vaguely saw the shadow of the land.

It didn't take long for the boat to come to shore.

Although he still didn't know what was going on, the captain who drove the boat said that Xiao Yi asked him to come here, and he was very tired and didn't want to move anymore, and asked Xiao Yi to get off the boat quickly.

Xiao Yi got off the ship in a bit of a daze, looking at the small but dirty and messy port, and didn't know where to go for a while.

"Anyway, what about Lao Xu?" Xiao Yi muttered: "Why don't you report to me about your work this time?" I don't know who paid him his salary, so if he is so slack in his work, he should be severely deducted from his salary! ”

At this moment, a middle-aged man who was out of place in the dirty environment, dressed cleanly and well-mannered, walked straight towards Xiao Yi.

It's just that Xiao is also a little puzzled, why is this person wearing a yellow suit? That's ugly, isn't it......

Soon, the man in the yellow suit had already come to Xiao Yi and greeted him.

"Hello, I heard that a good friend of Dr. Carl's is coming to this town today, and it looks like you're here."

As he spoke, he held out his hand in a gesture of friendship.

And Xiao Yi didn't shake hands, but asked directly:

"Who are you? Are we acquainted? ”

"Oh! What a faux pas. He bowed slightly to apologize, and continued: "I haven't introduced myself yet, I have set up a literature lover's club here to take in the poor people who are confused and alive, and who are not willing to be just alive." As for my name, it doesn't matter, after all, people here prefer to call me a gentleman, and you can call me that. ”

"I see, it really doesn't seem familiar."

Xiao also came to a conclusion, and immediately wanted to leave, too lazy to pay attention to this familiar guy.

“…… Yes? The gentleman didn't expect Xiao Yi to say that he would leave, which would make him straight, and immediately stopped Xiao Yi.

"Wait! Are you leaving? You don't know where Dr. Carl lives, right? ”

“…… Who is Carl? Xiao also asked.

The gentleman smiled helplessly, "I have to admit that Your Excellency's ability to pretend to be stupid is indeed a bit superb, if I didn't know the specific situation, I might really be deceived by your simple expression." ”

Xiao Yi: "? ”

Xiao Yi thought to himself, what the hell is this person talking about?

And the gentleman continued: "Let's get down to business, I heard that Dr. Karl's friend was coming here for treatment, but Dr. Karl had an accident and couldn't come to pick you up in person, so he entrusted me to come on his behalf, and I will wait for you again." And I'm interested in you myself, and I really want to see what that Dr. Karl's friend would be...... Looking at it now, it is indeed extraordinary. ”

As he spoke, the gentleman looked Xiao Yi up and down again, as if he was looking at something terrible, and nodded thoughtfully.

Then, he suddenly said:

"With good intentions, though, I personally want to remind you of one thing. You'd better not trust him too much, Dr. Karl. I know you've been friends for years, and you're not going to listen to that. However, keep in mind that people are very susceptible to external influences, and that old friend of yours may be a stranger to you even if he is inside. ”
