Chapter 23 No way, you don't really think that neighborhood is safe, do you?
From the day it was summoned, the dungeon designer Youxing designed several rules for the Free Ghost.
As long as it complies, it can receive rewards just like a contestant.
In horror instances, scaring ghosts and killing people to gain negative energy are instinctive behaviors.
They are born this way!
Now someone comes and tells the Free Ghost that the contestants cannot kill or scare the participants, and they must help humans.
The Free Spirit was stunned.
But in order to obtain the negative energy rewards from the terrifying dungeon, it reluctantly agreed.
Not long ago, after being infused with negative energy and forcibly upgraded by the guerrillas, Free Ghost's brain capacity was expanded, and he began to understand the guerrillas' series of plans.
"Anyway, as long as I suppress my urge to kill and properly help the participants, that's fine. As for increasing the difficulty of the dungeon, hehehe..."
"That's all the fault of evil designers! I'm a kind-hearted ghost."
It plays the good ghost, and the wandering executioner plays the bad guy; all of this is part of the master's plan.
And now.
The dungeon is almost in its third month, and almost all players have already entered their third playthrough.
They've experienced a variety of things, from colds and fevers requiring hospitalization to street incidents and car accidents.
Having personally experienced the devastating effects of a healthcare system that closely resembles the US healthcare system, my negative energy skyrocketed.
A portion of it was injected into the body of the Free Ghost.
Along with the injection of hundreds of thousands of negative energies, the participants also absorb the negative emotions they encounter from various events.
Many of these were curses directed at free spirits and designers.
Ding--
After Yang Lan's soul was completely exhausted and she returned to the terrifying space, the Free Ghost advanced again, becoming a novice demon, almost surpassing the dungeon administrator.
Infused with various negative emotions, coupled with the previous learning from Youxing, its understanding of the horror dungeon deepened once again.
No wonder they don't want it to harm humans.
No wonder it's needed to help humans.
It turns out that what truly killed the contestants and destroyed their beliefs was the city of Liberty itself!
Liberty City is a simulated city created by seamlessly replicating and piecing together countless Merica cities. In this world that strives for the most realistic experience, you can become a Merica resident.
This in itself is a battle against an unseen monster.
The slightest mistake could result in death!
The paths to death are varied and numerous, but they all lead to the same destination.
"Although I also wanted to indulge in some verbal sparring and try it out in the dungeon, I still had to play the kind ghost in order to plunge the contestants into a deeper level of despair."
Just as it made up its mind, the voice of its master, You Xing, came from its mind, clearly indicating that the Free Ghost's thoughts had been known to the other party.
"Li Si, didn't you just advance in rank? Your brain should be sharper by now."
"If you can't kill it yourself, can't you have the dungeon NPCs do it?"
"The only difference between this dungeon and the one in Beautiful Card is that I changed the NPCs' faith to yours."
"You are a god who controls this world, have confidence."
It is God.
Then there are believers and faith. Yang Lan being served boiled chicken is also because believers need to hold a ceremony. The essence of the ritual is to offer sacrifices to God.
Thousands of years ago, there were merchants from the Han Chinese and the Qiang people. Merchants practiced sacrificial rituals frequently, often arbitrarily cutting down Qiang people for sacrifices, as if it were a game.
At this moment, just as at that moment.
The free spirit understood immediately.
"Thank you, Master! I'll go right now!"
The free spirit looked ashamed.
Yes, it should have thought of that earlier.
The Free Spirit arranged for it to be the god of this world, the faith of the NPC followers in the instance, but when Yang Lan was sacrificed, the Free Spirit didn't even notice that there was a portrait of itself hanging in the room.
Oh, I see!
The inability to kill oneself does not conflict with the instinctive killing impulse of the ghosts in the instance.
Hehehe!
I won't kill them; I can have the believers take the initiative and offer sacrifices!
With this in mind, the Free Spirit's mind raced.
The next second, an instruction flashed in the minds of each participant.
……
"Activate the flexible off-body locking mode. If you die after activation, your soul will remain in the mortal world for a period of time."
What the heck? Does it matter whether the soul leaves or not?
Next sentence.
"Agreed to proceed. The target completion reward will be reset to 10 Gold. As compensation, for each playthrough where you survive for more than a month, you will receive rewards of 10, 20, and 30 Gold respectively..."
Upon hearing this, the vast majority of contestants immediately chose to "agree to enable".
An extra 10 every month! Wouldn't that guarantee passing the test?
How could I possibly disagree?
The remaining thoughtful individuals clicked "agree" on the pop-up notifications for the second and third days.
Only two participants who had already agreed to participate, Yang Lan and Wang Heng, couldn't help but shudder.
They really wanted to use the system to tell others not to agree to the Free Spirit's condition.
These seemingly favorable conditions conceal a terrifying reality that is too horrible to behold!
The others aren't fools either.
Everyone understands the principle that there's no such thing as a free lunch.
However, they are currently burdened with hundreds of thousands of yuan in student loans and medical loans.
Every time my salary is paid, the bank company immediately and precisely deducts it.
The rest was used to pay rent, eat and drink...
*Snap*, it's all gone.
Two choices are presented to us:
100,000 per month, clearance is possible;
Their salaries are deducted as soon as they receive them, and the exorbitant taxes and levies make them question their existence, leaving them with no chance of getting through customs.
Do we still need to choose?
Of course, choose to activate it.
However, their attention was drawn to the reward, and they forgot to read the last sentence of the announcement.
Once activated, it cannot be closed until settlement.
Chen Lan was among the first to start.
He was quite happy while delivering food, and his teammate in the same car asked him why he was so cheerful.
"Oh, I've earned some extra money. Life's finally a little easier."
"So, what about the remaining two orders?"
My colleague originally planned to finish one order each and go home early.
Seeing that Chen Lan had something happy to do, he decided to choose the safest option.
"Take the more expensive one. I'm not short of money anytime soon, so I'll deliver the cheaper one."
"I can't accept this. Brother Lan always takes such good care of me. I'll take care of this order myself."
His companion gave an awkward smile, squatted down, picked up the large box of packages, and left only the small box.
Chen Lan shook her head helplessly, "Thank you very much then."
"No, no!"
His companion responded with a forced smile, while silently praying in his heart.
I hope you can pull through.
How dare he deliver packages in the Martin Luther King neighborhood!
Only this simpleton in front of me doesn't understand.
There have been many problems in our daily cooperation. Whenever there is a delivery to a dangerous area, this idiot insists on going there against his will.
The delivery team had to resort to various methods, such as a flat tire or pretending to need to urinate, to delay delivery or simply deliver the goods outside the residential area.
Unexpectedly, the other party has not made any progress in the past month.
This time, I'm not going to go along with his crazy antics.
Martin Luther neighborhood, like Woodrow neighborhood and Area O, is a high-crime area where gangs congregate.
Violent incidents are frequent; you might be scared to death even if you're not beaten to death, and what's even more terrifying is the feeling of being worse than dead.
Fools sometimes have good luck.
Hopefully he'll come out alive.
