-

The moment this voice sounded.

The global population began to plummet at an extremely fast rate.

Normal people rarely think of ghosts unless they see some hints.

Such hints include -

Hints from related film and television works, hints from folk stories, self-psychological hints caused by fear when walking at night, forced hints from related keywords, and unintentional behaviors of dreaming at night.

To put it bluntly.

You can't have ghosts in your mind. If they do, you will die.

Simple and crude.

The moment this game announcement was announced, almost everyone subconsciously had images of ghosts and other supernatural horrors popping up in their minds.

Human imagination has always been a point of pride for mankind.

But at this moment, no one was proud.

Most people try their best to divert their attention and forcefully clear their brains.

After what happened last month, no one doubts the authenticity of this game announcement.

But... there are still many people who can't control their brains. The more frightened they are, the pictures in their brains are like a double-played slideshow, with scenes exploding!

"Bang, bang, bang!"

When a ghost appears in these people's minds and lasts for three seconds, death is a certain thing.

"You can't have ghosts in your mind."

It sounds a bit generic.

But in fact, it’s not that the word ghost cannot appear in the mind, but that the picture of ghost cannot appear in the mind.

If the word "ghost" only appears in your mind, it's not harmful, but if your mind begins to unconsciously construct images and pictures of ghosts.

That... wouldn't be good.

In fact, many people do not have the ability to construct pictures in their minds. Except for those with rich imagination, such as Internet article authors, the first batch will get G.

And today is already May 18th.

It has been 18 days since this update announcement.

During this period, in addition to the higher death rate on the first day, humans have also quickly found a solution.

The first way is to do more.

For example, the ban on throwing garbage into the trash can is designed to make the cleaners work more and do more, so that the brain can reduce their random thoughts.

The second method is to remove all videos, movies and other video materials immediately.

Originally, it was just to remove supernatural videos and movies, but soon I discovered that even just a melody with a weird tune can easily evoke the most straightforward feelings in people's hearts in this tense situation. fear.

Therefore, they simply and rudely removed music and videos from the entire network, and imposed mandatory control on most forums used for communication.

There are hundreds of thousands of related review keywords.

The third method is to eliminate some things from the foundation that may remind people of ghosts.

Dolls, dolls, mannequins, etc. will all be destroyed uniformly.

Destroy everything that will cause the uncanny valley effect.

Morgues and crematoriums are all closed.

All lighting facilities throughout the city, including every household and street lights, are brightly lit day and night, preventing darkness from covering any place as much as possible.

Method four, divert attention.

Shift your attention to things between men and women, and try your best to fill your mind with junk things like pornographic violence, so that you can't think of those things you fear.

This is why Chen Yi stood on the street and whistled at the women on the sidewalk just now, and those women responded with unusual enthusiasm.

It's like a large film and television city.

Everyone is on the verge of a mental breakdown, forcibly suppressing their inner fears and letting their inner desires rise, so that they can suppress some things they shouldn't have and play their own roles.

As for those strange conversations spoken by passers-by on the road.

It’s all about completing the daily task of talking to people 1,000 times a day.

Talking to yourself doesn’t count, you have to talk to others.

This is why the cleaner just stared at him so expectantly, because only if he replies can what the cleaner said before be counted as a daily task, otherwise it will really be just nonsense.

Determine specifically which sentences can be counted in the daily rules tasks.

Take the daily rule task progress bar on the panel as the standard.

...

Chen Yi casually flicked the burned cigarette in his hand in front of a man in a suit not far away, and glanced at his personal panel in the upper left corner.

"Player Name": Chen Yi.

"Player Equipment": None.

"Player Skill": D-level skill "Calm down".

"Player title": None.

"Point balance": 1038.

"Rules of the month":

1: "Active Master" task progress: 782/1000.

2: "The mind is calm and naturally cool" mission progress: 0/0.

He has spoken 782 sentences to others today, and needs to speak another 218 sentences to complete today's daily task.

As for the coupons.

Starting from May 1st, 1 point coupon will be awarded for completing the daily "Active Master" rule task. As of today, a total of 18 point coupons have been awarded.

The remaining 1020 points were obtained from the Yancheng Law Enforcement Bureau.

And at this moment——

Not far away, a young man rode a motorcycle towards him quickly. He braked and stopped in front of Chen Yi. He whistled and said with a grin: "Brother Yi, I'm not too late."

"By the way, Brother Yi, do you remember the counter guy we met last time when we went to buy medical gloves?"

"The little brother is dead. When I went shopping today, I found that the little brother was not there, so I asked about it."

"Hey, guess what."

"That brother's mother-in-law, in order to prevent herself and the man from thinking about that thing, when the brother didn't come home from get off work, the woman deliberately wore red sexy pajamas, hung red lanterns in the bedroom, and lit a lot of candles .”

"Be prepared to give your man a romantic surprise."

"As a result, the little brother opened the door and saw this thing in the bedroom. He couldn't help thinking of that thing on the spot, and he died suddenly."

"Oh, what a pity. What did that woman think?"

"Isn't this harming your own man?"

"If you want me to say..."

"..."

Chen Yi, who was just about to say hello, saw that he had just raised his hand, and the man in front of him started talking in a long way. The corner of his mouth twitched slightly uncontrollably, and he felt that he My temples ached.

If the daily rule task "Active Master" makes all players mandatory to talk to people 1,000 words a day, this rule tortures everyone.

Then there must be someone who is blessed.

It's the person in front of me.

A serious chatterbox.

I used to be disliked by people wherever I went, but now it's better, people all over the world are forced to become talkative.

"wait..."

Chen Yi blocked him feebly: "If I guessed correctly, you should have completed your daily rules task shortly after you woke up and opened your eyes, right? You actually don't need to say so many words now."
