"If the number of ghost stories in the four landfills is similar, the total number of ghost stories participating in this challenge should be close to three thousand..."
Feng Xue silently counted the number of ghost stories in his mind, frowning slightly. Such a large number of ghost stories gave him a strange feeling. After all, three thousand ghost stories combined, couldn't he resist the Hundred Monogatari?
But then, he remembered the concept of "awakening" that Lao Li had mentioned before when he introduced Kaitan. When someone plays the role of an existing Kaitan, it is possible to reawaken the disappeared and dead prototype of Kaidan.
The reason for the awakening here is probably not because of being played by others, but when playing the role, part of people's "knowledge" of Kaidan was transferred to the prototype of Kaidan, and finally it was resurrected.
Just like your own Oath Keeper ghost story, if anyone else tries to play the role of Oath Keeper or Executioner, part of the [Knowledge] they gain will be diverted to themselves.
So, is the reason why these weird stories in Mugen City don't unite to break the monopoly of Hyakumonogatari related to this mechanism?
Can this organization that occupies the East Kingdom be resurrected more easily than other ghost stories that run single orders?
Of course, it might just be that Feng Xue is overthinking, or maybe it's just that these weird stories can't be trusted by each other. After all, not everyone has the consciousness of dying on the eve of success.
If Hyakumonogatari didn't give it any opening, then everyone would naturally rise up, but at this time Hyakumonogatari has given a way to rise. Although it is not so spacious, it also dispelled many ideas of ghost talk and desperate efforts.
"This technique looks a bit familiar." Feng Xue let out a sigh, scanning the strange fires of different colors with his peripheral vision, trying to find some patterns in them, but he soon gave up because these flames There are so many different colors and shapes.
There are those that are densely packed with sparks like fireworks; there are also those that have a few flames gathered together, but explode from time to time; there are also those that are completely with the word "big"...
The most outrageous thing is that Feng Xue even saw a thing that only looked like a flame, but if you look closely, you will find that it is actually a grass that looks like a flame.
Feng Xue originally thought that this might represent the attributes of the owner of the strange talk, but when he looked up at the strange talk, he was sure that he had guessed wrong, because it looked like a water monkey.
"But speaking of it, the Water Monkey is a widely circulated strange story!" Feng Xue muttered, no longer observing, because when he saw strange flames several times, he couldn't help but turn on the golden finger. The urge to find out the truth is often met with a warning glance, which confirms to him that being able to sense other people's probing is probably an inherent characteristic of all ghost stories.
"Speaking of which, I haven't seen flames on Lao Li. Is it because only ghost stories can see flames? Or does that guy have any means of hiding flames?"
While Feng Xue was thinking wildly, the sliding door at the entrance to the residential area slowly opened. The two strange figures who looked like they were not human at first glance but were not affected by the filter for some reason moved towards both sides (Note ①) , one of them with a club head opened his frog-like mouth and said loudly:
"There are still five minutes until twelve o'clock. Please enter the venue in an orderly manner. Challengers who are not Kaitan please queue up and wait for the trial. In addition, although we have opened the Tower of Babylon, the facilities in the residential area are not shared. Please don’t do anything irrational, otherwise we will terminate this challenge month..."
Judging from the emotions perceived by [Heart of the Mirror], what Bang Chuitou said seemed to be a routine speech that must be said once a year. Many of the strange talk even impatiently took steps forward, with a look of "I understand, I understand" The expression went through the door.
Feng Xue patiently listened to the precautions, and as the large troops poured into the residential area, what he saw made him a little disappointed.
He originally expected to see a more twisted, bizarre or sci-fi area, but what he saw in front of him could only be described as an ordinary modern city.
From time to time, one or two cars parked on the roadside can be seen on the spacious street. Residential buildings of about 20 stories are lined up in rows. Occasionally, you can see some functional facilities, guarded by strange stories that are probably from Hyakumonogatari. …
Suddenly, Feng Xue's eyes froze as he glanced at a school signboard, because at that moment, he got some information from the signboard.
The feeling was the same as the knowledge that came into his mind along with the [Gatekeeper] label when he saw the "door", but this time, he received relevant information about this school.
The content is a bit confusing, but to put it simply, this school provides teachers who can teach basic knowledge. Going to school here can improve the efficiency of knowledge acquisition. It is just like a building that adds experience gain in some farming games.
Upon seeing this, Feng Xue immediately began to consciously look for the signs of other functional buildings. Sure enough, all of them had special effects:
The hospital can increase the speed of recovery from injuries and illnesses and accelerate the performance of medical professions; the library not only contains a large number of books and periodicals, but also improves memory; the supermarket can purchase various scarce materials in Infinite City, including paper...
The most outrageous thing is the bank.
This thing can exchange Tower Coins and [Consciousness] at a 1:1 ratio. There is no handling fee, and the [Consciousness] exchanged is still "pure".
Don’t underestimate this purity, because theoretically, all [consciousnesses] are impure, and the difference is only in the type and amount of impurities. For example, the [consciousnesses] on Wu’s body are full of what are called “personal imprints.” Impurities, and the [consciousness] obtained from the real thing has relatively few impurities and will have almost no impact on nothingness.
But no matter how little impurities there are, they can only be regarded as consumables in life. Only the targeted knowledge obtained through [labels] can be called relatively pure.
The [Knowledge] exchanged by the bank is pure, which means that the [Knowledge] exchanged from here can be used to strengthen any label.
"No wonder they want to create a monopoly. With the help of these resources, the efficiency of cultivating monsters in Hyakumonogatari is much higher than those of wild monsters!"
Feng Xue murmured in his heart, but did not slow down, because at this time, he had already seen the huge building towering into the clouds.
The huge tower in front of him and the view from a distance were completely different. If from a distance, the tower looked like a bamboo pole connected to the sky and the earth, but at this time, he only felt that he was standing at the foot of a high mountain. .
There are no windows or other structures on the surface of the entire tower, and the whole tower shows a gray-white color after the baptism of time. On the wall, copper-colored lines are like circuits on a circuit board, extending horizontally and vertically. , it seems to add a bit of mechanical texture to the ancient tower.
One by one, Guitan stepped up and stepped into the tower, and Feng Xue followed immediately.
However, the moment he stepped into the ten-meter-high door, the scenery in front of him changed...
Note ①: The characteristic of the filter is "beautiful girlization", which can be generally understood as "giving the target three labels: [human], [female], and [beautiful]".
However, Kaidan entries are an aggregation of tags, so if there is a setting that can "override" [Beautiful Girl] in the entry settings, the filter may become ineffective.
For example, Neon Kaitan has many settings of "ugly monsters transformed by humans". When this setting is exposed to a girly filter, it will become "ugly monster transformed by a beautiful girl", and it will still appear as a monster. However, such a monster will still turn into a "female", so the Virgin of Disintegration is still effective, but it is not so eye-catching.
Of course, if there is a strange setting such as "abandoning the original gender and becoming a male monster", then the female special attack of the Virgin of Disintegration will not be effective.
ps: I fell down again, my condition may be unstable recently.
