"PS: In the preview of the next update, the project team has decided to add the rules of the month about the "life" element, so stay tuned."
-
The moment the voice rang out.
The world's population began to plummet at a breakneck rate.
Normal people rarely think of ghosts if they don't see some hints.
Such hints include –
Hints of related film and television works, hints of folk stories, self-psychological hints caused by fear when walking at night, forced hints of related keywords, and unintentional behaviors of dreaming at night.
To put it bluntly.
You can't have a ghost in your head, as long as it does, you have to die.
Simple and crude.
And the moment this game announcement sounded, almost everyone subconsciously appeared in their minds about ghosts and other supernatural horror images.
Human imagination has always been a point of pride for human beings.
But at this moment, no one is proud.
Most people, with all their might, divert their attention and forcibly empty their brains.
After what happened last month, no one doubts the authenticity of this game announcement.
But... There are still many people who can't control their brains, and the more they fear, the more the pictures in their brains explode like a doubled slideshow!
"Bang, bang, bang!"
When a ghost appears in these people's minds, and it lasts for three seconds, death is a predestined thing.
"You can't have ghosts in your mind."
Sounds a bit paniary.
But in fact, it's not that the word ghost can't appear in my mind, but that I can't have a ghost in my mind.
If you only have the word ghost in your mind, it doesn't hurt, but if you start to unconsciously construct the image and picture of a ghost in your mind.
That... It's not so good.
In fact, many people don't have the ability to build pictures in their minds, except for those who are imaginative, such as online writers, the first batch of G will be obtained.
And today, it's May 18th.
It has been 18 days since this update was announced.
During this time, in addition to the slightly higher mortality rate on the first day, humanity has also quickly found a solution.
Method 1: Do more.
For example, the one that does not allow garbage to be thrown into the trash can is designed to make the cleaner work more and do more, so that the brain can be less cranky.
Method 2: Remove all videos, movies and other video materials from the shelves as soon as possible.
Originally, it was just to remove supernatural videos and movies, but it soon became clear that even if it was just a melody with a weird tune, in this tense situation of everyone, it was easy to arouse the most straightforward fear in people's hearts.
As a result, they simply and rudely removed the music, videos, and most of the forums used for communication to enforce control.
The relevant audit keywords are as high as hundreds of thousands.
The third way is to eliminate some things from the roots, which may remind people of ghosts.
Dolls, dolls, models, etc. are all destroyed.
Everything that causes the uncanny valley effect, all destroyed.
Morgues, crematoriums, etc. are all closed.
All the lighting throughout the city, including homes and street lights, is lit day and night, so that no darkness can cover any part of the city.
Fourth, divert attention.
Shift your attention to the affairs of men and women, and try to fill your mind with garbage like pornography, so that you can't think of those fearful things.
This is why Chen Yi would stand on the street and whistle at the women on the sidewalk just now, and those women would respond with unusually enthusiasm.
It's like a big movie city.
Everyone is on the verge of a nervous breakdown, forcibly suppressing their inner fears, allowing their inner desires to overflow, so as to suppress something that should not be there, and play their role.
As for those strange conversations spoken by pedestrians on the road.
It's all about completing the daily quest of 1000 words a day to talk to people.
Talking to yourself doesn't count, you have to talk to people.
That's why the cleaner stared at him so expectantly, because only if he replied, what the cleaner said earlier would be counted towards the Dailies, otherwise it would really be just nonsense.
Determine which phrases can be counted in daily rule tasks.
This is based on the daily rule task progress bar on the panel.
...
Chen Yi casually flicked the burned cigarette in his hand in front of a man in a suit not far away, and glanced at his personal panel in the upper left corner.
"Player Name": Chen Yi.
"Player Equipment": None.
"Player Skill" level :D skill "Calm".
"Player Title": None.
"Bond Balance": 1038.
"Rules of the Month":
1: "Active Talent" mission progress: 782/1000.
2: "Calm and Cool Naturally" quest progress: 0/0.
He's already spoken 782 words to people today, and he needs to say 218 more sentences to complete today's Dailies.
As for bonds.
Starting from May 1st, completing the "Active Talent" rule task every day will reward 1 coupon, and until today, a total of 18 coupons have been awarded.
The remaining 1,020 bonds were obtained from the Yancheng Law Enforcement Bureau.
And at this moment-
Not far away, a young man rode a motorcycle towards him quickly, stopped in front of Chen Yi with a brake, whistled and grinned, "Brother Yi, I'm not late." ”
"By the way, Brother Yi, do you remember the guy at the counter we met last time when we went to buy medical gloves?"
"That little brother died, and when I went to buy today, I found that the little brother was not there, so I inquired."
"Hey, guess what."
"That little brother's mother-in-law, in order to make herself and the man think of that thing, when the little brother didn't come home from work, the woman deliberately wore red erotic pajamas, hung red lanterns in the bedroom, and lit a lot of candles."
"Prepare to give your man a little romantic surprise."
"As a result, the little brother pushed open the door and saw this thing in the bedroom, and he couldn't help but think of that thing in his mind on the spot, and he died violently."
"Alas, what a pity, what do you say that woman thinks."
"Isn't that harming your own man?"
"If you want me to say..."
“...”
Chen Yi, who was just about to say hello, saw that he was just raising his hand, and the man in front of him said a long list of words like babbling, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly uncontrollably, only to feel that his temples were aching faintly.
If the Daily Rule mission "Active Master" makes it mandatory for all players to talk to people 1,000 words a day, this rule tortures everyone.
There must be one person who is blessed.
It's the person in front of you.
A serious chatterbox.
Originally, people were disgusted wherever they went, but now it's okay, and people all over the world are forced to become chatterbox.
"You wait..."
Chen Yi stopped a little weakly: "If I'm not mistaken, you should have completed your daily rule task shortly after you got up and opened your eyes, right?" You don't really need to say that much right now. ”
