A ghost storyteller can lose his life but cannot lose his job

Chapter 32 Achievement Entry [Crime Trafficking]

late at night.

The village chief lay down in the stone house with air leaking on three sides. He looked at the stone house which had been demolished by the villagers and only one wall was left, and he was filled with sorrow.

Needless to say, these bricks and stones were naturally used to repair the Rat Immortal Temple on the mountain.

The village chief sighed and said, "The ancients said that a gentleman should not stand under a dangerous wall. I never thought that I could only sleep against this dangerous wall."

And suddenly, words began to quietly appear on the wall in front of him:
"Kill the Rat Immortal and slay the demons!"

The village chief was stunned at first, then he quickly looked around, and when he realized that there was no one else in his house, he looked closely at the words.

Thanks to Yu Shu Daxian's compulsory education, the eighty-year-old village chief knows all the words on the wall.

He looked at the wall in silence for a long time, then ran to the yard, got a hoe, and knocked off all the words on it.

These six words are extremely treasonous!
If the Rat Immortal knew about this, his old bones would be ruined.

These words seemed to have seen the fear in the village chief's heart, and they appeared on the wall at a faster speed:

"You are immortal and endless, so you must be able to kill the Rat Immortal. As long as you kill him once, this farce will end. Don't you want to go back to your past life?"

Go back to the old days when everyone respected me?
How dare those so-called great scholars laugh at my ignorance? Don’t they think about who led them to obey the Queen and keep them safe in the past?

They belong only on my dining table!
I remember it now, I remember it all!

A light bulb suddenly appeared in the village chief's mind. All the muddled days since the arrival of the Rat Immortal were torn to pieces, and the clouds and mist were cleared to reveal the blue sky. He could not be so decadent anymore, he had to get the village back on track!

The final hint given by the handwriting was extremely simple, just two words.

"revolution",
Yes, he wants to kill the Rat Immortal!

The village chief's brain was working quickly, and the benefits of his quicker thinking than before were apparent. He quickly conceived the most basic revolutionary program and revolutionary slogans, as well as various activities to secretly develop the foundation of the revolution.

He has received instructions from the Queen Mother. His life is endless and the Rat Immortal cannot do anything to him!
After countless reincarnations, he will succeed sooner or later and restore the village to its original peaceful and harmonious state.

Thinking of this, the old village chief burst into tears. Eighty years old is the right age for adventure.

At the same time, the Rat Immortal, who was standing on the mountain and looking out, received an urgent call from Kuster.

"It appeared. A head suddenly appeared in Field A3. I'm sure it's an extra target. It's the th one!"

During this period, Kuster and Zhong Xie kept watch at this location almost every day. This hillside was not close to the village and was the place where the influence of local ghost stories was the weakest that Kuster could detect. At the same time, he could also have a clear view of the fields of human heads in the village.

The two of them divided the work into two parts. Zhong Xie was responsible for staring blankly with his eyes open, while Kuster was responsible for using his eyes to check the situation in the fields.

After a long time, Kuster was able to know basically everything that was happening in the fields.

He had the [Wife's Loss] entry, and a regular potential target suddenly appeared in his field of vision. His perception was naturally sharp, and a new head suddenly grew out of a still field, so now Kuster noticed the abnormality almost instantly, just like opening a lock.

Zhong Xie was yawning at that moment, and Kuster's reminder made him no longer sleepy. He stretched himself and scratched his ears and cheeks.

"Finally... I was fooled!"

The world of Fa Tian Xiang Di suddenly opened up, and Zhong Xie rushed down the mountain, running and jumping. Each step he took was deeply embedded in the soil, leaving huge footprints.

While running, Zhong Xie lost his balance and fell, so he rolled down the mountain faster and went straight into the village.

Looking at the whole incident of the strange talk, there is actually only one core issue:
How to kill conceptual ghost stories?

How to kill such a conceptual weirdness that completes the logical chain?

The answer is actually not difficult, just give it flesh and blood.

Normally, giving flesh and blood to a strange story is a difficult task, because Zhong Xie does not have the relevant strange story abilities.

If someone in the team that was trying to solve this strange story had the corresponding ability, it would have been easy to deal with the Empress.

However, perhaps because there must be an antidote around the poisonous weeds, local ghost stories have this ability themselves.

It is not a coincidence, it is just the only possibility, otherwise this strange capsule would not have been born. Zhong Xie still has a certain advantage because he knows that this difficult problem has been solved by someone.

There is a solution, and it is almost the only solution, so there are very few ideas for solving the problem.

"crime".

The emperor breaks the law and is guilty of the same crime as the common people.

This statement may not be true in reality, but it is true within the scope of influence of rule-based weird stories.

Zhong Xie didn't know many rules of the ghost story, but there was one rule that was very easy to break:

"Extraterrestrial Rules".

That's how the village chief died, and then he grew out of the field.

There should be other rules in this village that can induce local ghost stories to be violated. Zhong Xie guessed that the team that handled this ghost story at that time should have a more sophisticated and stable method.

He just doesn't.

Because it wasn't fun at all, and he didn't want to waste any more time.

Anyway, the local ghost stories are unlikely to be able to handle the information bombs he has accumulated, so they can only take the initiative to break the deadlock.

The current situation in the village is a delicate balance under the blessing of rules. If the local ghost story wants to break the balance and drive away Zhong Xie, the simplest and most direct way is to incite these undead villagers to resist the Rat Immortal.

In this process, the "external rules" will inevitably be involved, otherwise the villagers will not be able to overcome their fear of the Rat Immortal.

If "understanding" is used instead of "external legend", local ghost stories will need to spend more time to induce one by one, and this process will be easily discovered by the village scoundrel Rat Immortal. By then, how can the invisible induction compare to the deterrence of the Rat Immortal's iron hoe?

If you don't want to be bombarded with information, there aren't many options for local ghost stories, and the one with the highest success rate is gambling.

Du Zhongxie was caught off guard and failed to seize this fleeting flaw.

So the local ghost story took the initiative to violate its own rules, so it grew out of the ground in the form of flesh and blood.

So how should we deal with local ghost stories with flesh and blood?

In just a dozen seconds, Xie rushed into the field and quickly found the extra head.

It looks neither like an animal nor like a human. It has a short nose like a bulldog, sharp teeth protruding from its big mouth, seven eyes surrounding its head, and a pair of long ears attached to the sides of its head.

Both her eyes and ears were tightly closed, she didn't hear, didn't think, and didn't know. She looked like a female devil who had come to her house. She could only bury her head in the quilt, not thinking that her butt was exposed.

However, Zhong Xie was not carried away by the victory in front of him. He kept in mind the rule of "no attack" and slowly squatted in front of the head, revealing two rows of white teeth.

All his aggressive behaviors will be in vain, and he will be in a situation of violating the rules. At that time, he may very likely become the neighbor of the female ghost. One person and one ghost growing on the branch, just like the big boy and the second boy on the gourd vine.

However, "eating" is allowed.

Because that's what the villagers did.

Zhong Xie looked at the head of the female ghost on the branch, selected the most fragile part, the ear, and slowly opened his mouth, revealing a row of neat and white teeth.

I've tried the giant-based monster stories, now let's try the rule-based monster stories.

+1 for the novel experience mentioned by the dean
"Ahm (chewing)——"

Rule 2: You become the last kind of meat you ate.

What will become of him if he eats the local weird stories?
"Kester, no matter what happens later, just try to help me."

Zhong Xie chewed the female ghost sashimi in his mouth and released Kuster from the tip of his tail.

After eating the ear, his body began to show strangeness. The rat head disappeared from his neck and was replaced by the appearance of a seven-eyed female ghost. No, if it was Zhong Xie, it should be a super male ghost now.

The next moment, Zhong Xie felt that his consciousness had entered an extremely special space, which was vast and yet empty.

He could sense that there was a being right opposite him, an "other half" who was almost identical to him.

This is the local ghost story, which constitutes the rules of the village and continues to operate. It has the complete consciousness and half of the power of the ghost story.

As for the other half of the power, it naturally went to Zhong Xie. By eating flesh and blood, the rules fairly gave half of the power to the current Zhong Xie, making him the "half" of the ghost story.

After a brief hesitation, the super male ghost and the female ghost started fighting passionately without hesitation. Both sides aimed to expel the other from this space of consciousness and began the most primitive and instinctive battle.

This is a very abstract concept, because the battle between them has no concrete representation, nor should it have any concrete representation.

When two rules come into conflict, what do you think?
Local courts suing the Supreme Court?
It is not appropriate either. To describe it in words is "two non-existent things competing for a place in existence."

Just this kind of battle alone would actually make Zhong Xie very dangerous, because he had no experience of being a "rule-based weirdo", let alone fighting in a consciousness space.

Of course, don't expect the female ghost to have much experience.

However, it is certain that Zhong Xie has helpers——

Custer.

After being involved in three ghost story incidents, Kuster finally played a role. In addition to providing mouse ear sashimi, he attacked for the first time.

Possessing the power of dissolving strange stories, this will be the last golden bear to tip the scales.

-

Zhong Xie was sitting on the bed in a daze.

After coming out of the consciousness space of rule-based weird stories, he fell into this state of emptying his mind, which was very comfortable and he couldn't bear to stop.

After a long time, he blinked and regained his spirit at Kuster's call.

"OK, solved."

He said with a smile, got out of bed and stretched a few times.

The rain outside the window has stopped, and the sun is shining brightly.

Zhong Xie looked at the bed. A small black ball was floating above the opened strange capsule on the sheets, with a special cyclone spinning around it.

It's not a [Death Redemption Ticket]. After completing the ghost story incident, the [Death Redemption Ticket] has been assigned to Kuster.

[Black Trafficking (Rule System)]: Choose a target and make it satisfy one of the seven deadly sins (only once per target).

Note: This is an achievement in commemorating the Phantom Incident [Crime and Punishment] - "Joining the game yourself and tempting the Phantom to break its own rules and commit crimes."

Ok?
Additional entries?
Is it triggered by a special achievement?

Zhong Xie stroked his chin and examined the entry. He would be confused just by looking at the literal explanation, but he could understand the specific effect by receiving information through touch.

It's very simple. Make a target randomly enter a state of sin. The specific states are the very classic "greed", "rage", "lust", "jealousy", "pride", "gluttony" and "laziness".

The manifestation is similar to "control skills", which can make the target affected by original sin for a period of time and do some inexplicable abnormal things.

However, correspondingly, people who are mentally strong will basically not be affected by the effects of this entry.

Some weird stories that are emotionally indifferent or brainless are basically ignored, and they are also ineffective if the level difference between the two parties is too great.

"This entry... doesn't quite match 'widower'. And it's still black rank. It will be very troublesome to ascend the ladder when the time comes, right?"

Kuster still can't change his habit of commenting on every entry he sees, but unfortunately, his opinions are always...

No, it seems I’m right this time.

Zhong Xie looked at the entry and put it into the ghost story capsule.

He really didn't think highly of this entry. Except for the fact that getting "涩欲" might be used in conjunction with Kuster's [妻丧], it would not be very useful under normal circumstances.

The entries in the ghost story configuration must be reasonable. As the "second ghost story", Kuster has a high tolerance for unreasonable entries.

Generally speaking, gray entries will not cause too many problems, but black entries have entered the mid-to-high-end level and the impact is still great.

When the level reaches a certain level, the ghost story will face the test of "climbing the stairs" and can only enter the next stage after completing the test.

At that time, the entries configured in the ghost story will be baptized, some entries will evolve, and there is a probability of awakening "characteristics", but if there are too many unreasonable entries in the ghost story configuration, the rewards for climbing the level will be greatly reduced, and it may even backfire and cause death.

Like the "quilt" that Zhong Xie had a deep impression of, this was the result of perfect advancement through climbing the stairs, and even the name of its origin was changed to "being demoned".

The compatibility between [Crime Dealer] and [Widower] is very low, and the more compatible one should be "Professor Moriarty" or something like that.

If it is simply a "crime", then "widower" might still be compatible, after all, who knows how your wife died?

It is not appropriate to waste the quota for configuring unreasonable entries for the sake of the effect of the [Selling Crimes] entry. Zhong Xie feels that the cost-effectiveness is too low and it is boring.

Kuster's "Obsession" quota should be reserved for entries that he finds more interesting. Even if the bet goes wrong and Kuster is sent, it would be a worthy death.

Now that this [trafficking crime] has been committed, even Zhong Xie feels that Kuster’s death was unjust.

If you look at the ghost story capsule again at this time, the information in it has changed.

【Ghost Story: Crime and Punishment】

【Article: Crime of trafficking】

[Attribute: Rule system]

[Quality: Black]

[Current remaining number of participations: 1 time]

Emmm...

This ghost story capsule has one chance to be used left, which means that the [Crime Sales] entry can be put up for sale on the forum, right?

Moreover, he can provide a more detailed strategy process, and [Sin Selling] is more applicable than [Death Redemption Certificate]...

It seems like a high price can be set?
Wow, making money by playing games, is there such a good thing?

Zhong Xie was delighted in his heart and casually posted this strange capsule on the forum. He had seen the prices of many capsules in the forum and had an idea of the market price, so he set the price at "999" points.

The normal black entry is priced at 1000 points in the official entry library. [Sin of Trafficking] is a "self-developed entry" with a rather special effect, and there will still be quite a few strange stories that will interest you.

If he was willing to wait, there would be no problem selling the Ghost Story Capsule for more than a thousand points, but Zhong Xie didn't care about that. The right thing to do was to sell it early, get the points back, and buy new Ghost Story Capsules.

Do you understand how to recover funds?

If you can speed up the capital turnover cycle, it doesn't matter if you make less money. After all, this is a business with almost no capital.

The most crucial reason is also simple, Zhong Xie wants to play a new game.

Not long after, Zhong Xie received a message that the price was bargained for "900 points", and the reason for the bargaining was simple:
"Aren't these the capsules I sold you? Are you buying from me?!"

Zhong Xie pondered and replied:

"You want to? Make friends?"
