“You little brat, we’re brothers who’ve gone through thick and thin together! How about I give you a discount and only take two years of your life? Not too much, right?”

Shen Wei’s eerie right hand trembled like it had Parkinson's, shaking with glee.

“Damn it! I treat you like a brother, and you try to screw me over? The last few times it was only a year, but now you’re giving me a reverse discount, taking an extra year? And you're asking if it's too much? Forget it, I'll chop you off and lock you in the display case in a minute…”

After experiencing the eerie right hand's reverse discount, Shen Wei lost it on the spot, drawing a short knife from his waist, ready to cut off his own right hand.

“What are you saying? We're brothers, how can you do this to me?”

Shen Wei’s eerie right hand said, sounding a little guilty.

“Slowly corroding my body, is that what brothers do? I bet if I overuse you, I’ll end up with you taking over my body!”

Shen Wei rolled up his sleeve, the blackness on his eerie right hand had already spread past his wrist.

Shen Wei’s eerie right hand was silent for a moment after hearing this, then said faintly, “One year of life, can't go any lower.”

“Deal!”

Shen Wei smiled slightly, agreeing readily.

“Simulation start!”

My name is Shen Wei. By the time you hear my name, I might already be dead.

Because I was inadvertently chosen to enter a Rule Anomaly horror world. This is a museum full of bizarre exhibits, and I'm currently in the third exhibition hall.

Everywhere is filled with eerie dead people's belongings. It sends chills down your spine just looking at them.

I observed the situation and decided to start viewing the exhibits on the far right, against the wall.

Looking around, this row of exhibits is very strange; they're all human-shaped dolls. There are clay sculptures, ceramic handicrafts, plastic children's toys, and some cloth dolls for girls...

Although they don't move and their eyes are dull, I always feel like they're staring at me with malicious intent.

But according to Rule Two of the Dead Object Modern Exhibition Hall, I have to view four exhibits before I can go to the next exhibition hall.

I focused my gaze on one of the exhibits, a doll wearing a suit with large, somewhat strange eyes, holding a sharp knife in its hand. I looked at the description above, which read:

Exhibit: Killer Doll Billy!

Description: The doll contains the most terrifying modern killer, Billy, sealed within by witchcraft. He's brutal, bloodthirsty, ruthless, and loves playing hide-and-seek with people.

Source of Exhibit: Donation from an enthusiastic visitor.

Before I could finish reading the exhibit's description, I was sucked into a gloomy, eerie house. Here, the doors and windows were all sealed shut; there was no way for me to escape, and the terrifying killer doll Billy was relentlessly pursuing me.

I have to say, I'm quite clever. I noticed the hidden information in the description. The killer Billy was sealed in the doll by someone or some power. So, after using the monkey doll's life-saving opportunity, I successfully found a hidden basement. There, I found the spell to release the killer Billy. He was released from the doll, and he also lost his qualification as a dead object exhibit, and was dealt with by the rules.

I perfectly completed the task of viewing the first exhibit.

Then I continued forward and saw a doll called Annabelle.

The moment I saw her, I was sucked into an illusion. This thing's power is strong, setting up multiple illusions for me, and in the end, I couldn't get out.

When I regained consciousness, I had been made into a strange doll, and around me were densely packed, tattered dolls just like me, all staring at me in horror with resentful eyes.

And Annabelle sat at the highest point, like a monarch, enjoying our worship.

Just like that, I also became an exhibit in the third exhibition hall, and in the same display case as her.

“Simulation complete, collecting lifespan!”

Shen Wei withdrew from the illusion, his face very pale. This simulation cost him another year of life, now he has 17 years left.

"Simulations are good, but you can't be greedy. First, it will weaken my thinking and make me lazy. Second, this eerie right hand has been eroding my body with simulations. If I use it too much, it may gradually take control of my body, even replace me. Third, I feel like every simulation, it's affecting my decisions, preventing me from judging more things. Simulations are completely like drinking poison to quench your thirst, but I have to use it in the current crisis..."

Shen Wei thought about these things, his heart in turmoil. And the eerie right hand seemed to see through his thoughts:

"Heh heh heh, are you thinking about how to get rid of me?"

Shen Wei glanced at his eerie right hand and said coldly:

"The next time I simulate, I don't want to use your perspective to enter, I always feel like you're influencing me. I want to use my own perspective to enter the simulation, otherwise, I won't give you another day of life..."

"You're quite interesting, you really remind me of a friend of mine, although I can't remember who he is..."

Shen Wei's eerie right hand neither agreed nor refused, instead saying something inexplicable.

Shen Wei ignored it, he decided to follow the simulation and go to the far right exhibition area to complete a harmless viewing.

Shen Wei arrived at the far right exhibit corridor, the Killer Doll Billy's display case was in the first spot.

Unsurprisingly, Shen Wei was sucked into an illusion and came to a gloomy, eerie house.

This house is a typical old European-style building, and the furniture inside looks a bit old, somewhat like something from the eighties or nineties. Fortunately, Shen Wei had gained a certain understanding of this old building in the death simulation. He knew the basement was under the carpet in the living room. As long as he went to the basement and found the spell to release him before the Killer Doll Billy arrived, then Shen Wei would be invincible.

But unlike Shen Wei's simulation, he was now hiding in a cabinet, and the outside of the cabinet had been locked by someone.

"Damn it! Are you trying to harm me? The simulation has a big deviation!"

Shen Wei drew a short knife from behind with his left hand, then held the knife and questioned his black and eerie right hand.

"It's not that the simulation went wrong, it's that there's someone else here, another Chosen One. He's setting you up. Sometimes, I really don't understand you humans, always scheming against each other, killing each other..."

Shen Wei's black and eerie right hand opened its palm and scanned the gloomy and eerie apartment.

"Damn it! Looks like he also has some kind of weird object that can predict the future, or a strange limb..."
