The final gentleman

[The Fourth Disaster-Fatal Videotape]

[Origin]: The [evil] was precipitated from the filthiest, most stinking, and darkest evil, and transformed through the joint pseudo-documentary "The Fatal Tape". When it was discovered, it was already at the level of a disaster.

After a joint assessment by Beacon Mental Hospital, it was classified as the [Fourth Disaster].

[Ontology]: Unknown.

The body of the fatal videotape does not exist in the City of Evil, and has never participated in any disaster gatherings. It occasionally appears as the projection of a photographer, and each time its form is different, and the photography equipment it holds is also different.

It is suspected that the ontology exists in a specific videotape, rather than in reality.

[Hobby]:

1. The Fourth Disaster prefers to target similar people rather than killing humans and gods. More than half of his works target evil.

2. Although the main body is not in the Evil City, every video store in the city has its own counter. If the store owner dares to move or destroy it, he will die completely in a short period of time.

3. Targets targeted by the fourth disaster are often unable to escape, and sooner or later they will be made into a 'fatal videotape'.

[Ability (partly guessed or speculated results)]:

1. Mandatory shooting:

Individuals who have been filmed for a long time and whose attention is drawn to the past will be sucked into the "story field" of the fourth disaster and join a pseudo-documentary story that ends with death. This will continue an infinite loop until the individual is in an endless state. Between cycles, consciousness collapses and turns into nothingness.

There has never been a mockumentary escapee so far.

2. Substitute viewing:

If an individual watches the pseudo-documentary filmed by the Fourth Disaster on his own, he will fully enter the story as a supporting character, and will exit on his own after experiencing a complete fatal story. The individual's spirit will be greatly affected in this process, and will be marked by the fourth disaster.

In addition, when the individual's consciousness is substituted into the pseudo-documentary, the body left outside will emit a special atmosphere, attracting unknown dangers.

3. Fatal body:

It is speculated that the ontology of the fourth disaster can move between the story worlds of different video tapes, or is hidden in a special video tape and can intervene in other video tapes through the form of ontology projection to prevent the participants from having a greater impact on the story process and ensure that The death cycle proceeds normally.

…

"Such vague information? You don't even know the identity?" Yi Chen's expression was not good-looking. With such vague information, he even suspected that William deliberately revealed only this.

"Yes, in terms of mystery, the fourth disaster, which I have never appeared before, is the most mysterious."

"Then how was he defined as a [disaster] in the first place, and he was given the title of the fourth disaster without even seeing his true form? What about the so-called mental hospital testing?"

"Of course not, the identity of the fourth disaster seems to be very special, or needs to be hidden for some other reason.

When the group organized by First Disaster discovered him in a certain world, a lot of conflict broke out, and many people in companies and mental hospitals under First Disaster died.

Of course, in the end we must have seen the true form of the fourth plague. Due to unknown reasons, it has not been made public, and it has the privilege of not having to attend the meeting.

In other words, only the current boss knows what the fourth disaster is. This kind of basic information will not be written down, and we don't know it either. "

"Tell me more about your plans, William."

William rubbed his hands quickly, with a stern look on his face, "Hehe, I took action a few months ago.

I dropped a number of students with good brain structures into a world where the Fourth Disaster had been and started a search. Currently, seventeen students have lost contact.

Then I arranged for people to go to these seventeen points many times, and finally screened out an old house suspected to be the origin of the fourth disaster, which was filled with video tapes.

I am 90% sure that the video tape containing the main body is hidden inside. "

"What if not?"

"If not, just burn it all down and go to the second alternative location. As long as we can massively reduce the number of tapes, that guy won't be able to sit still.

And if you just arrange ordinary photographers to target us, it is impossible to involve us. At least you have to arrange something related to the body.

No matter what, he will inevitably expose himself gradually, and as we continue to come into contact with the video tape, we will inevitably touch the ultimate essence. "

Yi Chen actually laughed as he listened: "It's really that easy, why did you come to me? Tell me something that really needs attention and is a threat."

"The real body... I can't be sure whether his real body is strong or weak. Once I find out, I need to use Mr. Yi's method to quickly behead him.

In addition, it cannot be ruled out that he has other abilities that can draw us directly into his story. "

"William, can your crazy brain calculate what the winning rate is for our joint actions and all the intelligence you have collected? Tell the truth."

"Between 8 and 61%, there are too many unknowns, and the existing equations cannot solve the exact value. I can only give a range, and this is a range obtained by assuming many fixed parameters. "

“Where did the 8% minimum come from?”

"Assumption 1. All the filming of the Fourth Disaster is just his personal hobby, and the real dangerous things have not been expressed yet.

Assumption 2. He deliberately concealed his identity and did not need to attend the meeting because once the identity is seen, it will bring greater disasters and may even affect other disasters.

Assumption 3. The ability currently displayed by the fourth disaster is only superficial. It just has the unknown ability to restrain you and me, or some ability that cannot be completely eradicated and killed.

If the above three assumptions are met at the same time, the minimum winning rate will be 8%. "

"When to act?"

"Anything is fine, even now, as long as you are ready, Mr. Yi."

"It's better to wait until the movie is released."

William nodded, "Yeah~ That's fine, anyway, now we have a little more time, Yi Chen, you also need to get used to the identity of the murderer and the cooperation with Huang Pi.

Recently, Mr. Yi, please don’t take the initiative to provoke others! Stay as far away from video stores as possible. "

"Don't you need to worry about the eighth plague?"

"It doesn't matter, that guy is very careful but he is very disciplined.

Now that you have the support of the crew and are part of the Tenth Plague, she won't do anything to you. Just don't go to the underground area, that guy is not free, she can almost be regarded as a [foundation].

As long as we're on the ground there's not much of a threat. "

"Can you give me information about other disasters?"

"sure."

Just as William was about to reach into his brain and extract documents from his memory, his hand stopped again.

"That's right! Since the addition of lesions has made the war situation a little out of control, a disaster council will be organized soon.

At that time, all the disasters that can come to participate will be present. Mr. Yi, with your prestige in the crew, you will definitely be able to participate as a representative. Seeing it with your own eyes is much more interesting than reading documents.

Maybe the notice of the meeting will come out tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. You should go back to your room and let Leni help you with treatment to make sure that your body is in normal condition. Seeing your injuries makes me want to drop my pearls. "

"Where's Lorien?"

"Hi~ The situation is probably not good. We may be able to get a general idea of ​​the situation when we go to the meeting site, but don't have high expectations.

This final stage cannot be a happy ending.

Let’s talk so much. I still need to do a lot of basic work recently to consolidate my position, otherwise I will be looked down upon by others. "

After William got up, he put on one of Catherine's tentacles as a scarf and walked out of the hall flirting with her. At the same time, he also picked on Catherine's acting skills and planned to go back and train her.

Yi Chen also felt a faint pain because the wound had not been treated for a long time.

Just as he was walking towards the hotel's elevator, the manager, who had remained silent the whole time, suddenly spoke on his own initiative: "Mr. Yi, you must be careful."

"The fourth disaster?"

"Be careful William."
