Lu Ning gave the Poker Circus so many detailed descriptions precisely to create a ghost group that could rival Bai Li. In articles, the amount of ink can always reflect some value. Since Da Nong described Bai Li like that, she also used the same method to create another batch of monsters and then gave them special permissions.
However, once this occurs in reality, it is not particularly beautiful.
"I will tell you some of my settings for the circus." Lu Ning thought for a moment and then said, "First of all, you must remain rational when the circus starts. This is a cognitive issue. As long as you are prepared for it If you have the heart, you will not enter a stage of fanaticism. The circus will definitely succeed in attracting people. After you enter, you have to leave the seat when the first performance opens and walk along the road between the two tents. In the back, that is, on the other side of the stage, there are cages for the circus monsters. In one of the troughs is the ring of the circus ringmaster."
"Is this the thing you mentioned in that paragraph?"
"Well, it's called Human Relics. That doesn't matter. The point is that when you pick up the ring, you will become the leader of the circus and have the qualifications to command the ghosts in the circus. In contrast, You must feed those ghosts, otherwise, they will eat you as the leader and continue the show."
"Feed...how to feed me?" Zhang Xinqing frowned, "Do I still want to kill people? Just because I am a mastermind in the story does not mean that I am really the villain!"
"Unfortunately, if you want to live, you have to do this. Because if the ghost conditions are not harsh enough, you cannot set up such a plot, horror story - the cost outweighs the benefit, this is what we must abide by. But then I haven’t written down the specifics yet, but if you have the chance, you can add detailed settings.”
"Wait a minute! The show is about to start! Is there any other solution?"
"It is set that the show will last until dawn, all spectators will be eaten by the circus, and those who try to escape from the tent will be chopped up by the playing card soldiers in the outer circle - only someone who gets the position of leader can decide the circus The life and death of the troupe audience." Lu Ning sighed, "But the good thing is that as long as you can feed the circus, you have a very strong ghost subordinates who will serve you loyally."
"Can't I let them die?" Zhang Xinqing's voice changed. "They are all dead, won't I be safe?"
"This is a paradox. If the leader dies, they can be resurrected again in the circus. If the leader dies, no one can order them to die."
"What the hell did you design this thing!"
"If it weren't for such an almost incomprehensible ghost, how could it be possible for people to have a chance to control it? I failed the review twice before I found this bottom line. This is the minimum." Lu Ning said helplessly, "What can be said I told you... you will die or kill many people, Zhang Xinqing, you decide for yourself."
Zhang Xinqing was silent for a moment.
"I don't want to die. Are you Taoist priests there too? I've made it clear that I don't want to die. If I can't escape, I will kill someone."
Lu Ning put her phone down slightly.
She doesn't feel too guilty about designing such a ghost, otherwise she would be underestimating the risk of the ghost scene in the distribution center. This was an upgrade, and it was an upgrade scene in which the exit method was told in advance, and even survival became a part of the mission... She could not yet imagine where the real killer move behind this scene was.
Even if you become a ghost, you can return to the distribution center? Or is there any way to resurrect the dead? These tempting and generous conditions all prove that she has not yet come into contact with the secrets of this scene, and what is the core of wanting to come into contact with the secrets? Take the initiative and raise the level of power here.
When this opportunity was handed to her hands, she had already made up her mind.
Dark clouds slowly gathered in the sky. The group chat had ended. Everyone walked back to the car that had been filled with gas. Lu Ning started the car and started to return to Qian Yipeng's house.
"Miss Li, many people will really die because of your story." Lu Ping said.
Lu Ning was not surprised that this Taoist with a strong sense of justice said this. She had expected it.
"Yes, so Master Lu thinks the responsibility lies with me? If I had just written an ordinary ghost story, none of this would have happened, would it?"
"Isn't it?" Lu Ping raised his eyebrows.
"Each of us is weaving a story, and we have even opened up several branches." Lu Ning focused on the road in front of her and turned on the car lights. The gloomy sky made the evening look like night.
"Since Bai Li, your story is not just about one person and one thing. Even we don't have the confidence to eliminate these powerful ghosts."
"That's not necessary, Taoist priest. There will be more and more ghosts here as we write - what do you think the ghosts we wrote in the story are doing when they are not in the story?"
"..."
"They are also causing trouble and killing people." Lu Ning answered herself, "The circus will kill many people at one time, but other ghosts will also kill people slowly. The stories we create will reflect everything in reality. The source of the problem lies in the solitaire we must carry out. We dare not interrupt because we dare not test the cost."
"You can write some ghosts according to our description, ghosts that are within our ability." Lu Ping said.
Lu Ning couldn't help but laugh.
"Taoist Priest, do you know the storytellers of the past?"
"Of course I know."
"In the past, there were many fairy tales in storytelling, and these stories themselves were often not long. But because they are popular, storytellers can make money, so even if the story is finished, they still have to make up random stories to keep the story going."
Lu Ping frowned upon hearing this, as if he knew what Lu Ning was going to say.
"So what will be the next story? A new character comes out, the strongest person in the old story is crushed by this new character, and then the next new character comes out and crushes this new character again, and the cycle repeats. Reflecting different parts That is to say, describe the surroundings. Now a tree is broken, and a boulder is smashed next, and then the ground is lifted three feet away...until it can no longer be compiled."
"Ah, I've heard of this!" Qi Mei patted his thigh, "I've met some old men and women who said this!"
"Director Lu, we are now in such a situation."
The sleet began to fall and hit the car window. Lu Ning turned on the wipers. In the silence, there were only subtle sounds outside the car and her voice inside the car.
"Because we need to have a way to deal with ghosts, we need to introduce Taoist priests, and because we need to write horror stories, the new ghosts are stronger than the Taoist priests that appear. I accelerated the appearance of ghosts at the circus level and gave them a A barely adequate lock. If Zhang Xinqing can control the key, at least the death toll will be controllable."
She couldn't believe it when she said this.
Lu Ning is not a person who often evaluates human life from a superior perspective.

The sky was gloomy, with rain and snow falling, so Lu Ning slowed down the car. After leaving Dadong Road, the number of vehicles on the road decreased significantly. The surrounding wilderness even gave people the feeling that the world was vast and only this small car was driving on the road.
It was quiet for a long time, and Lu Ping was also deep in thought. The Taoist Priest had a very straightforward temperament, so his thoughts usually took less turns. Lu Ning let him think. Qi Mei was listening to music with headphones with a relaxed expression. He would not worry about these things. It would be better to say that he understood Lu Ning's thoughts. He had seen a lot of similar things.
After the silence lasted for a while, a bunch of car lights from behind made Lu Ning raise his eyebrows slightly. It was still the same vehicle driving on the road at night with high beams on. Fortunately, this time it was from behind and it was not so dazzling. The man was probably afraid that driving too fast in such weather would cause a car accident, so he didn't overtake quickly. He just kept a certain speed and slowly caught up, trying to go around Lu Ning's car.
Lu Ning frowned slightly.
When driving on the highway, you have to overtake as quickly as possible. It would be unsafe for both parties if you delay. However, the driver obviously did not have such common sense. The car slowly turned to the side of Lu Ning's car, but still did not accelerate.
She glanced at the dashboard with her peripheral vision. The current speed was only fifty, and she could exceed this speed with just a kick of the accelerator. However, the car was still dragging.
If that's the case, then she slows down.
Slightly applying the brakes, Lu Ning lowered her speed and quickly passed the car. The other car seemed to be satisfied with this "sensible" behavior and immediately began to merge. However, at this moment, something was illuminated in front of the person's high beam headlights.
It seemed to be a burly figure with a height of more than two meters, but he was wearing tattered clothes and black muscles. His specific appearance was not clear because the car in front obviously also noticed the thing. The front of the car tilted and rushed straight towards it. Towards the roadside. There is a certain height difference between this road and the surrounding fields. The brake light on the rear of the car suddenly came on, and the car stopped dangerously on the side of the road.
Lu Ning happened to have slowed down and didn't panic at all. He pressed the clutch and stopped the car on the road. Then he turned on the high beam and looked ahead - there was nothing.
She would never think that she saw it wrong, it was not an illusion.
"Teng Xuan, have you seen that thing?"
"He's quite tall and strong. I can't see anything else clearly. But it's still coming out in this kind of weather..."
"What? What did you see?" Qi Mei also looked at the front of the car. The view from the back seat was not as good as the front, so he didn't see it at all.
"Master Lu Ping, are there any evil spirits or ghosts?" Lu Ning asked again.
Lu Ping looked forward intently for ten seconds, then shook his head slightly: "I didn't feel any special Yin energy, and I couldn't see any trace of ghosts."
At this time, the driver of the car in front had already come out, holding an umbrella in his hand and walking quickly towards the car.
Soon the man came to the car window. He was about forty years old, tall and thin, with stern eyes, clean shaven, and wearing black winter clothing. When he saw Lu Ning sitting in the car, he raised his hand and knocked on the window.
"What's the matter?" Lu Ning rolled down the window a little.
"You guys, did you see something on the road just now?"
"What?" Lu Ning pretended to be confused, "Is this why your car suddenly veered off course? Look at what's in front of you?"
The man turned around. Under the light, the road was still empty.
"But, there must have been something just now. I...I wouldn't suddenly turn the steering wheel like that, would I? By the way, you are taking this road to go to Xiaheshao, but you are unfamiliar faces..." The man was mumbling rapidly.
"Hey, your car can be reversed. If nothing happens, we still have to hurry. Driving in this weather is very dangerous."
"Yes, yes... that... okay." He said something to Xiang, but hesitated a few words, and finally said nothing, and returned to his car in a dejected manner.
"Why don't you communicate with him?" Lu Ping asked.
"Because he is a little suspicious." Lu Ning replied, "You also heard what Teng Xuan answered me just now. She first thought it was a person, and then she suspected that it might be something else. This is still after what we have experienced. After those things. This person came over and said there was a 'thing' on the road, which at least shows that he had some idea about it, and he was pretending not to know when he asked us. But because he was nervous, he didn't pay attention to the modification of his sentences. "
"Even then, he could have been a victim."
"That's right, don't worry, Taoist Master, we will have one more follower for the time being."
As Lu Ning expected, soon after she started, the cars behind her also followed her, and this time they finally stopped turning on their high beams. Qi Mei glanced back and sneered: "If something like that happened again in this weather, I'd be scared to death if I were driving alone, right?"
"He has something wrong with him." Lu Ning said, "I just looked at the license plate, it was the car last night, which means it is the man named Ge Lu... at least it is his car. As for whether it is him, we We’ll have to verify it later.”
"Wen Yue, that person always makes me feel like he's hiding something, just like a few deadbeats I've seen before." Teng Xuan frowned and said, "What on earth was that thing just now? "
"I don't know. Since Taoist Master Lu Ping has not seen any trace of its appearance, then..."
"Wait a minute, Miss Li." Lu Ping suddenly interrupted Lu Ning, "I was negligent just now."
"What?"
"I followed what you said and used the magic method to observe the situation on the road. The yin and yang conditions are normal and there are no traces of ghosts... This is my negligence." Lu Ping pursed his lips and whispered, " I just realized when you were discussing the driver that I didn't check the car."
"Car?" Lu Ning was shocked, "Could it be..."
"There was a lot of Yin Qi attached to the front of his car. I think what we saw was the shadow cast by the excessive Yin Qi through the car lights - but the shadow itself does not carry Yin Qi." Lu Ping turned back to look at the car following behind, "This car has definitely injured people in recent days."
