Chapter 84 Big news

Is Wang Ming the first person to become a ghost?

Thinking about Dr. Wang Ming's choices and fate, Yan Ming couldn't help but have this question in his mind.

However, he quickly shook his head, denying this view.

According to this logic, Li Yan is actually ranked ahead of Dr. Wang, because Li Yan was killed by the Blindfold Ghost a month ago and turned into the "Peeping Ghost".

At least that's how it is in front of Yan Ming.

In retrospect, Dr. Wang Ming may have studied Li Yan's experiences and formed some suspicions, which led him to choose to enter the office building and willingly accept death.

Wang Ming may have summarized a special pattern:
If a human appears within the Blindfold Ghost's range of activity, especially within Yan Ming's "field of vision," they will be instantly killed and transformed by the Blindfold Ghost.

They will transform into a ghost that fits their image and experience, but in Yan Ming's vision, they may be human or ghost.

In short, Dr. Wang Ming willingly became a ghost, but at the same time lost his self-awareness and became something akin to a tool.

Is this the path to becoming a ghost that Yan Ming had been hoping for?

of course not.

He wanted to become a ghost with self-awareness and emotions.

By allowing consciousness to supersede the body, at least he can still call himself a "human being".

If you turn into someone like Dr. Wang Ming, you're probably not much different from a ghost.

However, at this moment, Yan Ming also thought of a suspicious point from long ago in Wangcheng. When he transformed into the Doctor Ghost, he had heard Wang Ming ask a question.

"But don't you also want to settle down in Wangcheng?"

This sentence is completely different from the electronic voice of the Doctor Ghost under normal circumstances; it carries a hint of human emotion.

It wasn't particularly obvious; it sounded like something someone with a cool, aloof, and unapproachable persona would say.

But at least it's a human being, which feels completely different from artificial intelligence.

In today's context, Yan Ming would be able to understand the meaning behind those words.

From Dr. Wang Ming's perspective, he naturally did not want Yan Ming to live a muddled and aimless life in Wangcheng.

Putting aside his own sacrifice, the main reason is that the outside world needs a "Doctor Ghost" to peek into the truth and obtain the Ghost Realm theory in order to survive.

Otherwise, the world that the Blindfolded Ghost showed Yan Ming could not be called an illusion, but rather a prophecy of the future.

That's why Dr. Wang Ming, in a moment of sudden enlightenment, spoke up to warn Yan Ming.

Wang Ming wasn't trying to morally blackmail or force Yan Ming by threatening his own death; he simply wanted Yan Ming to think things through carefully.

After all, they may not have much time left.

Unfortunately, this statement did not have as much of a warning effect on Yan Ming as one might have imagined, because he figured it out on his own.

The six months of loneliness and hardship had given Yan Ming enough courage; at least if he had a choice, he would never want to live that kind of life again.

What he wanted was the lively atmosphere of the food street, not the chaotic city where he had to go home and hide before 10 p.m.

"Ghostland..."

The old man in front of him seemed to hold a higher position than he had imagined. He directly opened Yan Ming's envelope and began to read it. The first sentence on the envelope alone made his eyes widen, and he fell into an indescribable astonishment.

"Every ghost has a ghost realm within its body, which can be regarded as another world. It is a mysterious pure land independent of reality, capable of accommodating human life."

Old Jiang was reading the basic definition of the Ghost Domain theory when he suddenly looked up at Yan Ming: "Is this Ghost Domain situation true?" "Yes, I've been inside." Yan Ming nodded, his words full of certainty, "However, I can't be sure that every ghost has it inside them."

He continued, "You should know about the eerie game, right? The so-called ghost realm is actually the game scene that the players once experienced, the game scene after the players left."

"The game's setting...those cities?"

Old Jiang narrowed his eyes, as if deep in thought, and immediately asked Yan Ming, "Are these cities habitable?"

“Of course,” Yan Ming agreed, then pointed to Lu Mingzhe beside him and said, “He’s someone from the Ghost Realm. I lived there briefly for two days…”

As he spoke, he couldn't help but think of his experiences over the past two days, which, while not exactly dramatic, were certainly fraught with danger.

However, after some consideration, Yan Ming still gave a summary: "Overall, life in the Ghost Realm is relatively peaceful, but you need to abide by some specific rules."

"Yes, that's the map rules. Each game scene has unique map rules and a corresponding background story to match them."

Old Man Jiang chimed in: "Generally speaking, the real winner of a bizarre game is the one who gets the chance to replicate the game's rules, but that's not always the case."

Ghost Sparrow said while playing mahjong, "If you don't have map rules, there's basically no problem. But if you already have map rules, they might conflict with each other, or even affect the normal use of your own rules."

Exclusion?

A sense of unease welled up in Yan Ming's heart; he had truly been unaware of such a thing before.

He wasn't worried about any conflict between "voyeurism" and "echo," because he had already used them and it had proven that there was no contradiction.

However, the rules for "peeping at all evil spirits" and "pretending to be a ghost" in Wangcheng are not necessarily the same.

Different ghosts have rules that can kill people, and they all have very powerful abilities in their own territory, but the rules are definitely of varying strengths and levels.

It is unreasonable to say that "there are no useless rules, only useless rule users".

Yan Ming only used the Blindfold Ghost's "Watching the Truth Go" casually, probably only using the lowest level of power, but the pleasure of controlling everything was already addictive.

"Peeping is a sinister act"...

How could it possibly compare?
In reality, the blindfolded ghost can distort reality to a certain extent and has done many things that are incomprehensible to everyone.

Therefore, the map rules of Wangcheng are clearly more powerful than "Peeping at Ten Thousand Evils," making it a special ability that Yan Ming cannot give up. However, he has now inherited "Peeping at Ten Thousand Evils" from Li Yan...

Well, if Li Yan can pass it on to him, then he can pass it on to others too.

If it really causes any conflict, he can just find someone else to carry on Li Yan's legacy.

"What about those two- or three-word rules?" Yan Ming thought of the human skin suit and decided to ask anyway.

"The two-word rule represents 'things'. I have almost never encountered the three-word rule. Some people have summarized it, but I don't think it's accurate enough and there's no need to mislead you."

Ghost Sparrow replied, "Generally speaking, only rules with the same number of characters will conflict."

Yan Ming nodded.

So, does that mean that powerful players will have at least two, three, or four types of rules?

Why isn't the character "五" (five) included?
"Comrade Yan, how credible is your theory of ghost realms? Who exactly has seen it?"

After reading the entire letter, Teacher Jiang became serious and slowly said, "We are currently controlling some ghosts, including a tuberculosis ghost."

He stood up, snatched the phone from Gui Que's hand, casually tapped the auto-play button, and then said to Gui Que:
"Summon as many as you can, survivors at Tier 2 and above. I need to see them before 10 PM."
