As the communication signal between Jiang Zhe and Wang Ye was cut off.
In the expert conference room, the atmosphere was inevitably tense.
Old Zhao looked at the audience and comforted: "Don't look like this. Although this ghost talk is not live broadcast and we can't see the progress, I believe Jiang Zhe. After all, Wang Ye's strength is specialized in restraining the magic faction."
After hearing this, the experts from various professions nodded slightly.
"That's all."
"I'm the only one confused - why is the 6-star ghost story more bizarre than the 10-star ghost story?"
"The 6-star ghost story, no matter how it ends, if the hint given last time is correct, the number of survivors this time should not be small."
"That's right, the rules in the past were either confusing or reversed for players to guess. Now the 6-star will actually give the correct rules no matter what!"
"..."
Although they said different things.
The star difficulty is indeed related to whether the rules are confusing and whether the players are deceived.
.......
Magic town.
This is a modern town.
Looking around, it looks like what the beautiful country looked like in the 1970s.
After Jiang Zhe and Wang Ye stepped into the fog, they drove forward for nearly 1 kilometer and arrived here.
The two of them looked up at the town's sign in the car. Although they didn't understand the language, they could see the translated text: [Welcome to the Magic Town]
The green warning sign on the right is posted——
[No one over 35 years old is welcome here]
[If you are over 35, please turn around and leave! 】
"Is it okay?" Wang Ye asked after reading it.
"It's time." Jiang Zhe nodded lightly, stepped on the accelerator and slowly moved the car to the town line.
Just then, the cell phones in their pockets rang.
The two of them took out fully charged mobile phones from their pockets.
Open the phone, and the information inside starts from——
[The rules will be opened after entering the 'Lost Town']
[Don’t mention it to anyone before this, and don’t reveal it to anyone, otherwise you will die on the spot]
It has become the following rules——
[Copy of Rules: A Good Show]
[Regular Scenario: Magic Town]
[Difficulty: 6 stars]
[Player role: Passenger]
[Rule 1: Don’t believe in magic]
[Rule 2: You cannot eat the food in the town, prepare your own in advance]
[Rule 3: There is no living person in the town except you and the summons]
[Rule 4: The longer you stay, the more you will do things against your will]
[Rule 5: There are no young people in this town. All the middle-aged/elderly people are mute, except for the church priest, priest, mother and twins]
[Rule 6: Don’t trust middle-aged/old people who can laugh]
[Rule 7: You can trust middle-aged/elderly people who can cry]
[Rule 8: Don’t believe in the existence of ghosts]
[Rule 9: Don’t believe that magic props can drive away ghosts]
[Rule 10: Live towards death, the polarity is reversed, sometimes you need to die first]
After reading the rules, Jiang Zhe put his phone back in his pocket and turned it to silent as a habit.
He knew this 6-star ghost story very well because he had fewer deaths in his previous life.
Although it is 6 stars, it is difficult for reckless people to pass the level on the first try.
The final outcome is...
Die once!
What's more, this 6-star dungeon is a duel between religion and science!
"Tell me what you think, Wang Ye." Jiang Zhe opened the car window, stretched out his hand, and let the warm afternoon breeze flow through his fingers.
"Rules..." Wang Ye looked at the message on his phone and smiled: "[1]: Don't believe in magic. If you don't know who issued the rules, just treat him as the way of heaven."
"Don't believe in magic. It's ambiguous whether you don't believe in the existence of magic in the world, or you don't believe that there are people in this town who know magic."
Jiang Zhe nodded lightly: "That's right."
Wang Ye also said: "[2]: Don't eat food. There is nothing special about it. We tourists cannot eat the food and water in the town."
"[3] Apart from you and the summoned object in this town, the summoned object also refers to me... Why does it sound weird? Do you think I look like a spiritual pet?"
Hearing this, Jiang Zhe almost laughed out loud, but still pretended to be calm.
"[Four]: Don't stay longer, because tourists will do things against their will. This should be a danger to tourists. I don't know if the danger comes from others or from this small town."
"[Five]: There are no young people in the town, only middle-aged/elderly people. This rule feels very dangerous to me, as if someone in this town is doing something that has caused the young people to cease to exist."
"[Six]: Don't trust the old man who can laugh. This doesn't explain anything. You need to refer to the next article."
"[Seven]: You can trust the old people who can cry. If you combine them together, and make a compromise, the old people in the town should be expressionless. The old people who can laugh are deceitful, and the old people who can cry are sincere."
"Next is the Eighty-nine Rules, ghosts and magic props. In Western legends, for example, salt can drive away ghosts. But in the magic town we encountered... salt is also a magic prop and cannot drive away ghosts. But the rules also say Let us not believe in ghosts.”
"This is somewhat related to rule [1] - don't believe in magic, don't believe in the existence of ghosts, don't believe that salt can drive away ghosts. In theory, the rules have told us all the conditions for survival, proving that in the end we need to abide by these rules .”
This is also low star rule compliance.
The essence of low-star rules and high-star rule copies lies in whether the rules are true, whether they are confusing, etc.
Jiang Zhe turned around and asked, "What about the last rule? Live toward death and reverse the polarity."
The king also shook his head: "To live towards death, does it mean that we die once and then be reborn? How to die, how to live, there is no clue, and there is no clue about how to reverse it."
But after looking at Jiang Zhe's fearless expression, he tentatively asked, "Do you know what these mean?"
"Of course, then we should go straight to the point and go to the church of the priests and mothers."
"The secret to clearing customs is in the church."
"But before I go there, I need to gain some prestige in the town."
"Build prestige?"
"Well, just trigger the rules one by one."
As he finished speaking, Jiang Zhe raised his foot and prepared to step on the accelerator.
Suddenly, he saw six young people in black running in the rearview mirror: three men and three women, all wet.
"You entered by mistake?" Wang also opened the car window and looked back.
"Kill them." Jiang Zhe said casually, "They are going to die."
"They are living well, why are they dying?" He felt a little incredible about Jiang Zhe's decision.
"[Rule 3] There is no living person except you and me. [Rule 5]: There are no young people in this town!" Jiang Zhe reminded with a serious expression:
"Our car is about to enter the town line, and the rules have come into effect - proving that these six people were declared dead when they followed us into the fog."
"Remember, you are pronounced dead, not dead."
"Rule 3 says again, there is no one alive except you and me. Are you sure you still want to save 6 of them, even though they are still human?"
Hearing this, the king also showed hesitation.
Jiang Zhe added:
"When they get into the town, they will turn against us."
"Either you kill them, or I kill them. When the town copy is about to end, you will see the truth."
Seeing Jiang Zhe's rare serious expression, Wang Ye thought deeply and made his Taoist heart struggle. The Taoist student told him that he could not ignore death.
But something went against it.
This is a world of rules, and everything cannot be measured by common sense.
"These six people have greatly increased our mortality rate, right?" Wang Ye asked solemnly.
"Yes, it has seriously increased our survival. If the two of us go in, we can conquer it in one or two days. With six of them, the supplies will not be enough, the time will be delayed, and the mortality rate will increase. You have to know - six companies The life and death of millions of people in a city in Xia State..."
"Which one is important?"
Now Jiang Zhe is no longer the Jiang Zhe he used to be.
Every move he makes affects the direction and future of the entire Xia Kingdom.
Any decision he makes will first be for the country and will no longer be guided by more personal emotions.
After all, Wang Ye will not live in this world for a long time, and Wang Ye will leave sooner or later, so the other party will definitely be driven by "conscience" to do things.
Faced with a difficult choice, Wang Ye seemed to hear the hidden message contained in Jiang Zhe's words.
Because rule three - there is no one alive except yourself.
Rule Five – There are no young people in a small town.
Then there is only one possibility - those 6 people are about to die. I don’t know when.
After thinking about this, Wang Ye smiled relievedly and did not embarrass Jiang Zhe.
He did not make a difficult choice as he imagined, but made the third choice besides life and death alone.
"I choose to temporarily leave the team with you and bear the risk alone!"
"But don't worry, I will help you when your life is in crisis."
"The rest of the time, I believe in you. After all, you are not weak at all. I wish you good luck!"
As he finished speaking, Wang also put on his backpack and got out of the car. It was filled with various tactical foods prepared for him by special instructor Wang Guangming, enough to survive for 10 days.
The king is also a Taoist, so it is impossible for him to ignore death.
He understood that Jiang Zhe was carrying the lives of an entire city, and even admired him. However, their current positions... seemed a little different.
Looking at Wang Ye leaving in the rearview mirror, Jiang Zhe honked the horn, opened the car window and looked back to remind him again: "Don't go out after entering the town, you will be aged quickly, and neither can the fish, shrimp and water in the river." You are not allowed to eat, drink, or eat fruit. The last rule is—when you enter the town, you must show that you believe in magic, remember!"
Hearing this, the king on the roadside turned around and waved to express his understanding.
At this moment, the ding-dong sound kept coming from the phone.
He was driving to the center of the town. Taking advantage of his free time, he took out his mobile phone and took a look. Only then did he suddenly realize that he had just been pulled into a group chat with a million people.
