"Arrest arrest arrest..."
Listening to the sirens coming from the street, Feng Xue sat on a park bench holding a copy of the Tasoke newspaper. The corners of Feng Xue's mouth turned up slightly, and he had to sigh that Wusi in Nanshan District was different from other places. He came to Victoria It has been almost two months, and none of the four colleagues have been caught, and they are even deliberately developing a unique pattern of committing crimes.
The first one was keen on destroying religious sites. In less than two months, he bombed all the churches in Backlund. Now that there were no churches left to bomb, he began to bomb buildings with crosses, so that the surrounding areas Many hospitals in China have quietly covered up their red crosses to avoid accidental injuries from this "antichrist".
The second one likes to attack street girls and ticket takers by the river at night. I wonder if the world before the other person traveled has some overlap with this world. Many of his methods of committing crimes are similar to the legend of Jack the Ripper. For this reason, he was called the Jack the Ripper of the 21st century by the meddlesome media. However, I don’t know if it was because he was illiterate and was not as famous as in history. Like writing a sarcastic letter. At least not the part that appeared in the newspaper.
The third one seems to have deliberately created a style of sacrifice by cultists, always using the blood of the deceased to draw large and small magic circles and meaningless symbols around the corpse. As a person with the blessing of the translation konjac, Feng Xue was certain that the runes in the photos in the newspaper were meaningless.
Compared with the first three, the fourth one is much less topical. This guy did not deliberately create a symbol. He would only follow the victim home and then kill her in front of her family. However, Ignoring other witnesses, although this can indeed obtain the most accurate understanding of the victim's family, he is just an "ordinary" serial perverted murderer. To talk about the probability of the four people converging on the ghost story, this person It must be the lowest.
As for Feng Xue...
"Sure enough, it's better to be literate!" Feng Xue stuffed the newspaper with articles mocking Silveras Field's inaction into the trash can and walked towards the nearby supermarket.
Compared to the four colleagues who were still relying on murder to rob [knowledge], Feng Xue had already gone a step further. The strange stories he was currently creating were not only spreading at a speed visible to the naked eye, but were even harvesting the "residual value" of the four colleagues. ".
After all, in a city where Jack the Ripper, a perverted murderer, a bloody cultist, and a church bomber all appear at the same time, there is a demon who is "working hard" every day. Then people will naturally think that these things are all "Devil's work".
However, Feng Xue was not worried about offending those colleagues because they would not be able to get this bonus.
Just like when a capitalist sees a street stall making money, he imitates the other party's creativity and registers a trademark brand, and attracts customers for financing. Finally, it becomes a nationwide chain. For the street stall owner, this does not harm his income, and even improves his income. It may have helped him publicize it, but as long as no one specifically tells him (or the plagiarist in turn falsely accuses him of infringement), he may never realize that the value he created has been plagiarized and exploited.
But in the final analysis, the value of these exploitations is only small. For Feng Xue, the urban legend that gradually spreads among the housewives circle, that the devil will break into other people's homes in the afternoon and borrow ingredients to prepare delicious dinners. It's a real big head.
After trying several times and almost being regarded as a pervert, Feng Xue suddenly realized a problem, which was something he had known for a long time but had been ignored -
Lao Li actually told him how to become a ghost story.
Feng Xue has always been thinking about how to condense a new label, but she has forgotten that Lao Li once said when explaining the meaning of labels that labels are essentially to anchor people in the world to nothing.
Multiple tags anchored to each other can accurately point to an object, and this kind of anchoring, in Feng Xue's view, is undoubtedly a ghost story entry!
Therefore, no different from those who have only been playing within the framework of Infinite City to obtain tags, Feng Xue, who already has multiple tags from the real world, actually does not need to consider how to add tags at all, but how to add the existing tags The tags are connected together to build a "weird story" that can recognize all tags at the same time.
So, after a brief thought, he found that the most suitable label for him to unfold was not the [Instructor] that Yan Guo had just provided, nor the [Money Printing Machine] that could attract cash machines, nor the one with a strong fantasy color. [Devil], but the one from the beginning, the least favored by him, and has been left in the corner to eat dust, with only one person providing a small amount of [Knowledge] tags——
【chef】.
Compared with other labels, the [Chef] label is very simple, so simple that it will be subconsciously ignored, but it is precisely because of this simplicity that it has great room for expansion.
It is very difficult for a person to be recognized as a "demon". Even if you do many bad things, you may be recognized as a bad person or a criminal in the end.
It is equally difficult for a person to be recognized as a "money printer" because this requires you to provide a large amount of benefits.
It is not easy for a person to be recognized as an "instructor", because you must at least be able to teach the other person what they are willing to learn, otherwise it is just indoctrination rather than teaching.
However, it is very simple for a person to be recognized as a "chef", as long as he can make delicious things!
Not to mention, even if you are an ordinary person, as long as you can make delicious food, strangers will have associations and perceptions such as "You must be a professional chef."
Based on the chef, in a country with a strong religious atmosphere, it is natural to create the element of "demon" through language and the way of showing extraordinary power. And through the teaching of cooking, the instructor's label can also be produced. gain.
In fact, if Feng Xue wanted to, he could add the label "Money Printing Machine". For example, if he left a large amount of money in the name of "food expenses" before leaving, it would be easy to create the corresponding association.
But after Feng Xue thought about it, he still didn't do it, because what he needed was an urban legend, a ghost story, and ghost stories should involve as little "physical objects" as possible.
In this way, even if he stops taking action, some people will still lie and claim that they have met the "Devil Chef", because there is no cost in lying. After all, the ingredients used by the "Devil Chef" are bought by the housewife herself, as long as A beautiful enough dinner photo can be used as plausible "evidence".
The reason why a ghost story is a ghost story is because it cannot be verified or falsified. As long as you cook a table of good dishes, everyone can claim to have seen the "Devil Chef" and no one can refute your lies.
But if money or other "kind" rewards are left, it will add a shackle to the spread of this legend and increase the threshold for those "cloud experiencers" to lie about having seen the "Devil Chef".
After all, the psychological burden of lying is completely different between a lie that cannot be exposed and a lie that can be easily exposed.
And this is also the first principle that Feng Xue has figured out to create ghost stories——
Try to leave as little physical evidence as possible to prove your existence.
The label [Rich Man] is the same as [Assassin]. It was given by Infinite City and is no longer valid in reality. Of course, the long-held label of Assassin, the foundation of acting and the knowledge given by the label are all there, but [there is Feng Xue went out as soon as she got the label "Money Man", so she basically has no influence.
The only labels that now belong to Feng Xue are [Devil], [Chef], [Money Printing Machine] and [Instructor].
