Quick Wear: The Demon Lord blew up the tomb at the beginning
Chapter 258: Strange Talk about Rules: Light and Dark Cities (14)
"I think it's okay. Those inferior people are just wasting air. It's better to sacrifice them all. Then we don't have to deal with the weird rules anymore. It's a win-win situation."
"What is inferior? What is noble?"
"Yellow people are inferior, white people are noble; poor people are inferior, rich people are noble..."
"You think you're noble, don't you? Can you sacrifice yourself first?"
“There are still many births in the world!”
"..."
The conversation between Meng Qi and Xie Lang was spread to the Internet in just one minute, and tens of millions of people flocked into Meng Qi's live broadcast room.
Those who support the deal and those who oppose the deal are arguing equally.
Some chaebol groups in Korea even declared that if they could choose the trading partner, trading with Xie Lang would be the best option so far.
Sacrifice some people and save some people, so that human beings can be passed on.
There were also quite a few people who refuted this.
They are afraid that the people who will be sacrificed include themselves.
In the world of ghost stories, Meng Qi continued to ask: "How can we survive until two months later?"
After surviving for two months, he would automatically pass the level, and all he wanted was to pass the level.
“It’s become a weird story.”
Meng Qi's face changed. The moment a challenger becomes a ghost story, the challenge will automatically be considered a failure.
He wanted to live, but not as a ghost story.
"How can I survive as a 'human' for two months?"
Xie Lang looked at Meng Qi and a jade pendant appeared in his hand, which emitted a soft halo if you looked closely.
The moment the jade pendant appeared, Meng Qi felt refreshed. Looking at the jade pendant, he couldn't help but show a look of surprise.
"Wear this jade on your body, stay at home and don't go out, and it's best not to have any contact with anyone. In two months, you will be able to get through this strange talk safely."
As soon as Xie Lang said this, the audience in the live broadcast room went wild again.
“Staying at home is really the key to solving the weird story?”
"Ahahaha, it's Kim Jun-eun from my country of Kimchi who has foresight. He has already bought instant noodles for more than two months. As soon as the two months are up, he will become the first challenger to clear the level."
"It's too early for the people upstairs to be happy. Didn't they hear that the jade pendant is the key?"
"..."
Ever since Xie Lang took out the jade pendant, Meng Qi has been staring at it.
"How can I trust you?" Meng Qi did not let down her guard because of Xie Lang's words. "The city rules state that everyone has their own identity. If I stay at home and don't go to work, wouldn't that be against the rules?"
"I'm not doubting you, but I can't gamble with my life."
In previous copies, challengers had to compete with ghosts in wits and courage to pass the level. Now, as long as he is told to stay at home with the jade pendant, he will automatically pass the level in two months.
His first reaction was disbelief.
But since it was Xie Lang who said this, his intuition told him that Xie Lang would not lie to him.
Hence this question.
"First, my rules override other rules."
Xie Lang's expression was very calm, and he continued, "Secondly, whether you believe it or not is up to you, not me!"
Xie Lang didn't need to explain to anyone. Whether the other party believed it or not had nothing to do with her.
Either make a deal with her or don't make a deal with her, there are only these two options.
"I believe it!" Meng Qi said decisively. His previous doubt was out of cautious instinct.
He was just a small human being, and he didn't think he was anything worthy of Xie Lang's calculation.
Meng Qi looked at the jade pendant in Xie Lang's hand: "There is no free lunch in the world. You took out such a precious jade pendant just to make more money from me, so the price is..."
Every transaction has a price.
If he was told it was given for free, he would be wary.
"In two months, I will take your soul."
The scene fell into silence again.
Meng Qi hesitated.
If he takes the jade pendant and does as Xie Lang says, he can survive to pass the customs, and China will not be invaded by this strange story.
But the price is that he will die in two months.
Take it or not, he didn't know what to choose.
Xie Lang didn't say anything, just waited quietly for his decision.
After a long time.
Meng Qi raised her head, her eyes reddened: "I'll make this deal with you."
He thought it through.
He didn't want to die, and he wasn't someone who volunteered to die, but for some reason, at this moment, he chose to be a hero.
He took the jade pendant from Xie Lang and smiled with relief.
"You must not take off the jade pendant. As long as you don't go out and don't let strangers in, you don't have to read the rules. You can open the window at any time. The moonlight at night is actually very beautiful."
Not allowing him to go out is to prevent him from coming into contact with ghost stories. The more he comes into contact with them, the greater the possibility of violating the rules. It is better to solve the problem from the root.
Not allowing strangers in is to prevent "ghost stories" and people from forcibly dragging him out of the house. Although ghost stories cannot be applied to human homes by rules, they can use violence to drag people out of the house and then kill them.
Of course, this kind of behavior will backfire on the rules, but it is not impossible if one gets angry.
There is no pollution in the moonlight. What is really polluted is the air. As long as you stay in this city, whether you go out or not, the pollution will increase with every breath you exhale.
In other words, the challenger was polluted the moment he arrived in this city.
Unless he doesn't breathe.
The moonlight after 11 o'clock at night is pollution-free but can act as a catalyst.
If the pollution level is 1, after being exposed to moonlight, the pollution will become 10, or even above 100.
The longer it is exposed to the sun, the more serious the pollution.
If the challenger fails to find a solution to air pollution within two months, the outcome will be death, even if he does not violate other rules.
Some of the rules in the city code are designed to deal with air pollution.
Now that Meng Qi has Xie Lang's jade pendant, she is not affected by air pollution and naturally does not have to abide by those rules.
"I see. Thanks for the reminder."
After Meng Qi finished speaking, she walked out of the store with heavy yet relaxed steps.
Looking at his back, the audience in the live broadcast room couldn't help but have tears in their eyes.
"I don't know why, but I burst into tears."
"He chose to sacrifice himself for the sake of China. Comrade Meng Qi is a well-deserved martyr."
"Home, country and the world are engraved in the hearts of every Chinese citizen. If it were you or me, we would probably make the same choice."
"Cheating!! You Chinese are cheating!! This is not fair."
"Yes, how can Meng Qi pass the customs just by waiting at home for two months? Doesn't this mean that China has already passed the customs? Then how can this weird rule be fair?"
"Speak some human language. If you have the ability, ask your challenger to do the same. If you don't have the ability, stop talking nonsense. Do you really think that China is afraid of you?"
"..."
After Meng Qi left, guests came in waves.
They are basically challengers.
Most people chose to put the goods back after seeing the selling price. The few people who had evil intentions were also used as an example by Xie Lang.
After today's incident, the reputation of Xie Lang and the Jieyou Store also spread among the challengers.
…………
The sky darkened and night fell.
The full moon hangs high in the sky, casting a ray of clear light.
Xie Lang looked at the time. It was already eight o'clock in the evening.
At this point in time, there weren't many challengers left hanging around.
When I walked out of the supermarket, the door was still open except for the dimmed lights.
She is not afraid of being stolen.
If anyone takes goods out of the supermarket without her permission, they will be punished according to the city rules.
There is no room for thieves in the city.
When I got home, the light was still on in Dong Mengqi's room next door.
From the time he left the Worry-Solving Store until now, he has prepared enough daily necessities and food to last for two months.
He won't go out for the next two months.
This is not only for himself, but also for the lights of thousands of homes behind him.
As for work, there is no need to go anymore.
The bright moonlight shone through the window. Meng Qi walked to the window and subconsciously wanted to close the curtains, but she thought of what Xie Lang had told her and stopped.
Let the moonlight shine in.
…………
After washing up, Lin Chuxia wiped her body with a towel. When she wiped her arm, she touched something cold.
My fingers suddenly froze. This was not the temperature a human should have.
Looking at the left hand, there is a piece of white skin at the wrist joint. It is very obvious against the surrounding normal skin, and it tends to spread.
When I pressed that piece of skin, it felt icy cold, like touching a dead person's skin.
That piece of skin had no feeling either.
Lin Chuxia was shocked. She was polluted.
What is the source of pollution?
She quickly thought back to what happened today, trying to find anything unusual, but she had done too many things today and couldn't figure out which rule she had violated.
Suddenly I remembered the broadcast at Guangming Supermarket in the afternoon.
Pick up your phone and open the Challenger Forum.
"I have grown hair on my body, what should I do now?! Someone come and save me, I don't want to die!!" The post was made by a netizen named 'Jilako', and a photo was attached.
The entire arm was covered with white hair. The hair was very long. The five fingers were completely covered with white hair, which looked very horrifying. There was even white hair on the shoulders.
There are a lot of comments under this post.
"Oh my god, this is so scary! Is this still a human arm?"
"I grew some too, but only a small amount. I don't know why, and I didn't break any rules!!"
"Ahhhhh!!! You scared me, what did you do?"
A netizen named Jilako replied: "I basked in the moonlight all night last night."
"The moon is indeed a pollutant! Luckily I didn't get sunburned, but why do I have hair growing on me? The hair falls off when I pluck it, so it doesn't seem to have any effect." said another netizen, attaching a photo of the hair being plucked off. Apart from a little redness where the hair was plucked off, there was nothing unusual.
"Does any great god know the reason? I'm still young and I don't want to die!" Jiraco roared under the post. It can be seen that he is really scared.
"Try plucking my hair. All my hair will fall out."
"It's useless, it's useless. When I woke up in the morning, I had so much hair. I pulled it out, and it grew back. I pulled it out, and it grew more and more. Someone come to save me? I will kowtow to him and call him dad. Please." Jilako was crying and pulling out his hair in front of the screen while sending messages for help. He was really scared. He shouldn't have been basking in the moonlight.
"You can ask the Lightbringer for help. Doesn't the city rules say you can ask the Lightbringer for help?"
"Yes, find the Lightbringer and send out the results separately."
The challenger who gave Jirako advice actually didn't know whether asking the Light Messenger for help would be useful, but didn't Jirako lead the way for them?
Jiraco started the live broadcast and hundreds of challengers poured in.
Lin Chuxia also clicked in.
What came into view was Jirako's panicked face and his arms covered with white hair.
Jiraco shouted towards the camera: "The moonlight has turned red, did you see it?"
From Jirako's perspective, the originally bright moonlight turned slightly red, as if there was a strand of blood mixed in it. The red was not deep, but it made him feel scared. How could the moonlight be this color?
Lin Chuxia looked out the window. The moonlight was still bright, but she could tell from Jirako's expression that he was not lying.
So, he was infected with another kind of pollution?
This kind of pollution can interfere with people's cognition and make people see the bloody moonlight.
"No, the moonlight is still white." A netizen replied.
"Impossible, this is impossible. It is obviously red, just like a drop of red ink smudged in clear water. How could it be white?" Jiraco shook his head vigorously, his whole face became ferocious, he seemed unwilling to accept the reality.
He pointed the camera of his mobile phone at the moonlight outside the window, trying to prove to others that what he said was true, that the moon was really red.
Lin Chuxia stared at the moonlight that Jirako showed them, but did not see the so-called red moonlight.
"Moonlight is not red."
"Moonlight is not red."
The challengers responded one after another, but Jiraco still looked unconvinced.
"Impossible, you guys have teamed up to deceive me, the moonlight is clearly red..." Jirako's face turned pale, and he became crazy and irritable, muttering something like the moonlight is red.
Seeing Jiraco's crazy situation, the challengers felt a chill, and even the audience in the live broadcast room in the real world felt a tingling sensation in their hearts.
"Red moonlight? He's been contaminated, and his cognition has become problematic."
"Hopeless."
"There's something wrong with the moon. Who told him to bask in the moonlight yesterday? He basked in it all night. It's just moonlight, but now he's reaping the consequences."
"Oh my God, why did I choose this kind of challenger?!"
In the world of ghost stories, Fujiwara no Zaino also saw this scene.
He replied to Jirako: "Calm down. God will not favor impulsive fools. Go find the Light Messenger now. There may still be hope."
Fujiwara no Azunori did not believe in God, and he did not say this to save Jirako.
It is to verify whether Article 10 of the City Code is correct.
"Yes, yes, go find the Lightbringer."
Jirako didn't hesitate any longer and ran straight out of the house.
The live broadcast page was not closed, and the phone was held in the hand but not facing the camera, so the challengers could not see Jirako. They could only see the shaking camera and the sound of Jirako running.
And the audience in the live broadcast room in the real world could see Jiraco's actions clearly.
I closed the door, went down the stairs, looked around the neighborhood, and bumped into a few people on the way.
Those who were hit by Jirako wanted to get angry, but when they saw Jirako's arms covered with white hair, they avoided him as if he were the plague.
A few minutes later, at a corner of the community, Jirako saw the Messenger of Light in a white robe.
"Help me, help me quickly!"
Jirako's eyes lit up and he ran over as if he had met a savior.
