Quick Wear: The Demon Lord blew up the tomb at the beginning
Chapter 245: Strange Talk about Rules: Light and Dark Cities (1)
[This volume is a new attempt, the style is different from the past, it is about national destiny, and it is more of a group portrait; the protagonist is cold-blooded, neutral, and will watch from the sidelines. If you don't like it, please don't read it. In addition, this volume is a rule-based strange story, mainly based on reasoning, but the author is not good at writing this kind of thing, so there will be many logical loopholes, please forgive me. ]
It was drizzling on the street, and the rain was everywhere. The surrounding buildings seemed to be covered with a veil, mysterious and hazy, and could not be seen clearly.
Xie Lang was wearing a long green dress and holding an oil-paper umbrella, walking alone on the street. There were few pedestrians on the road.
A smell of blood wafted in from not far ahead. Xie Lang looked in the direction and saw that in the hazy rain, a man accidentally broke the rules and was killed and dismembered by a "person" on the road, who then started to eat his body on the spot.
Passersby on the road were not surprised by such a bloody scene. They just took a look and then looked away.
The drizzle continued to wash away the bloodstains on the ground, and soon the bloodstains disappeared, and everything returned to normal. The 'man' burped, and then walked to the end of the street, as if the scene just now was just an illusion.
Xie Lang watched this scene without any emotion in her eyes. She came to this city ten years ago. She could see four or five incidents like the one just now every day. It became normal after seeing it so many times.
Following the street, Xie Lang came to the door of a store. The sign in front of the door read "Sorrow-Relieving Supermarket". He closed his umbrella, placed it at the door, and walked in.
The space inside the store is very large, and the decoration is quite ancient. There are two or three rows of shelves inside, on which are placed all kinds of strange goods, but the strange thing is that such a large store is empty.
Xie Lang walked to the counter and sat down. This supermarket was opened by her. Due to the special nature of the supermarket, there were basically no customers visiting.
This is the world of ghost stories. There are not only ordinary humans but also ghost stories here. However, in this world, ordinary people are just walking food stored by ghost stories. As long as ordinary people break the rules, the only thing waiting for you is death.
But fortunately, as long as ordinary people do not violate the rules, the rules can protect you from being violated by strange stories, because strange stories are also subject to the restrictions of the rules and must not violate ordinary people who do not violate the rules.
But, how difficult this is!
Different ghost stories have different rules. When multiple ghost stories are put together, the rules can be superimposed. You can dodge countless rules with your wisdom and luck, but everyone makes mistakes. If you are not careful, all that awaits you is... endless darkness.
Ghost stories can make countless mistakes, but you cannot make even one mistake.
Fortunately, Xie Lang is not an ordinary person, but a ghost story.
The original owner was named Lu Xiyan, the owner of this supermarket. He killed ordinary humans according to the rules of the supermarket. Because he was angered by a human, he attacked him when the human did not violate the rules. He was killed by the backlash of the rules and his body was taken over by Xie Lang.
This supermarket also became Xie Lang's.
Xie Lang transformed the supermarket, changing its name to 'Solving Problems Supermarket', and replacing the merchandise with various extraordinary things, such as umbrellas that resist rules, elixirs that can regenerate broken limbs, and rules that can be used for a limited time...
No matter whether it is a person or a strange story, everything can be purchased, but money is not used as currency. What is traded is your vitality or - life.
…………
Real world, Blue Planet.
A blue curtain of light suddenly appeared in the clear sky, and on the curtain of light there appeared a line of words written in blood, and along with the blood words there was an emotionless voice.
"This strange talk will start in seven days. The name of this strange talk is: Light and Dark City. In three minutes, 2000 strange talk challengers will be randomly selected from each country."
Under the light curtain, everyone looked at the line of blood words, their faces changed drastically, some were panicking, some were praying to God, and some had a calm expression, but their eyes staring at the sky curtain announced their unrest.
Five years ago, the Rule Weird Stories came to Blue Star, and Blue Star selected Weird Stories Challengers to participate in the Rule Weird Stories. If the challengers won, they would get rewards, and if they lost, the Weird Stories would invade the world.
The types, sizes and difficulties of copies are different, and the number of challengers will also be different. However, basically, the higher the difficulty of the copy, the more challengers there will be, but this is not necessarily the case.
Different copies have different conditions for challengers to win. Some copies require that the number of challengers who pass the level must be a certain proportion of all challengers, and some copies require that a certain number of people be reached. If the number reaches or exceeds this number, the challenger of that country wins, and the challenger who passes the level and the country they belong to will receive rewards. The more the number exceeds, the richer the reward. If the number of challengers who pass the level is lower than the specified number, the country fails, the challengers who pass the level will receive rewards, and ghost stories will invade the country in proportion.
To ensure fairness, regardless of the size of the country, the number of participants from each country is the same. If the country does not have enough challengers, all eligible citizens of that country will be pulled into the rule talk. If it loses, the rule talk will invade and the country will be destroyed. If it wins, it will hardly last until the next talk, and its destruction is only a matter of time.
At the right time, the bloody words on the sky disappeared, and everyone hurriedly picked up their mobile phones, computers and other electronic devices and opened the Rule Ghost Talk app. This app appeared out of thin air in various electronic devices on the day the Rule Ghost Talk appeared. It is divided into multiple sections such as the Ghost Talk Forum, Ghost Talk Live Room, Challenger Selection, Casualty Statistics, etc.
In the ghost story forum, people were talking about it.
"It's over, it's over. This time, we're really screwed. In previous ghost stories, each country had a few to a dozen challengers. The most was only 100 people. That time, the whole army was almost wiped out. This time, there are 2000 people. The difficulty is definitely nightmare-level. If we fail this time and the ghost story of this copy comes to the world, is there still hope for mankind?"
"Is this a crazy thing? There were originally 197 countries on Blue Star, but now 43 have been destroyed, leaving 154. There are 2000 challengers in each country, which means there are challengers this time. Oh my god!!"
"Fortunately, China has a large population, and 2000 people are evenly distributed among everyone. The probability of winning is not high. This is the advantage of having a large population!"
"The probability of winning is not high, but have you forgotten that if the challenge fails, the ghost story will descend upon China in a percentage ratio? The more people there are, the more casualties there will be."
“The Jade Emperor, Guanyin Bodhisattva, Zhenwu Emperor, Monkey King, Mazu, God of Wealth… All the gods, please bless me and don’t let me be picked.”
"Blessing +1"
"When will these ghost stories disappear? I've had enough of this precarious life."
"The rule weirdo says that if you crack the core rules, the weirdo will disappear."
"It's just a luxury to survive in there. It's almost impossible to crack the core rules."
“No matter how impossible it is, it has to be possible. This concerns the future of mankind. Even if there is only a slim hope, as long as it is not the last moment, don’t give up.”
"Yes!!"
Three minutes later, at the same time but in different places, an invitation letter appeared out of thin air in front of some people. The invitation letter was golden red in color, with ancient and mysterious patterns printed on it. There was a force of rules flowing on it, which was very beautiful.
The faces of those who received the invitation changed instantly, and some even collapsed to the ground.
In the university dormitory, Lin Chuxia opened the invitation letter and a line of golden-red text came into view.
[Lin Chuxia, congratulations on becoming one of the challengers of this rule weird talk. Please be prepared. You have seven days to reunite with your family and friends and leave your last words.
Rule Strange Talk wishes you a happy life! 】
"I received the invitation." After reading the invitation letter, Lin Chuxia said to her roommate. There was no sadness or sorrow in her eyes, just calmness, as calm as dead water.
The atmosphere in the dormitory became solemn, and the roommates stopped everything they were doing.
"Chuxia," a roommate hesitated, "Do you... have any unfulfilled wishes?"
As we all know, only a few people can walk out of the rule weirdness alive, accounting for less than 1% of all challengers. It is more like a death notice than an invitation letter.
The Rule Tales can notify challengers in the form of an invitation letter and give them seven days to reunite with their family and friends. This may be its only mercy.
"It's three o'clock in the afternoon now. I'm going to say goodbye to the teacher first. At 6 o'clock in the evening, I want to have one last meal with you at the spicy hot pot restaurant near the school." Lin Chuxia checked the time on her phone and said, "After dinner, I plan to go home."
In China, challengers who receive invitations can express their final wishes to the Rules and Weird Talk Response Bureau. Some people will choose to experience the life of the rich, some will choose to see the beautiful rivers and mountains of the motherland, and some will also make strange requests. As long as they are not too outrageous, the Weird Talk Response Bureau will try its best to meet your requirements.
The Rule Weird Talk Response Bureau is an official department established by the Chinese government after the emergence of the Rule Weird Talk. It is specifically responsible for responding to the weird talks. After the Rule Weird Talk selects the challengers, the Response Bureau will conduct centralized training for these challengers, and the challengers have the right to decide whether to participate.
The first is that the rules of each copy are different, and the training effect is not good. The second is that this is the challenger's last time, so it is better to let the challenger choose for himself.
Lin Chuxia chose to go home, take a good look at the scenery at home, and spend time with her parents. After seven days, there would be no chance anymore.
"Okay." Several roommates choked up. They used to laugh and joke, and would argue over trivial matters until their mouths were dry and they would talk a lot, but this time, they spoke less.
At the same time, scenes like this also appeared in every corner. The challengers this time included both men and women of different ages. The only thing in common was that they were all healthy people with intact bodies.
When it was evening, Lin Chuxia only brought a cloth bag and hugged her roommates again: "Goodbye, friends!"
"No, you will definitely come back alive." The roommate's tears fell drop by drop on Lin Chuxia's shoulder: "Then we will eat all the snacks in the school street together."
"There will come a day."
Lin Chuxia got into the car with a smile, and the door closed slowly. Several roommates stared at the car in a daze as it sped away into the distance until it disappeared from their sight.
