The moment this voice sounded.
The global population began to plummet at an extremely fast rate.
Normally, if there are no hints, people seldom think about ghosts.
These hints include——
suggestions from related movies and TV programs, folk tales, self-psychological suggestions born from walking alone on a night road due to fear, enforced suggestions from relevant keywords, and unintentional dreaming at night.
Put bluntly.
You can't have ghosts appear in your mind; as soon as they do, death is your fate.
Simple and brutal.
And the instant this game announcement was heard, virtually everyone involuntarily conjured up images of ghouls and other horrifying supernatural entities in their minds.
Human imagination has always been a point of pride for mankind.
But at that moment, no one was proud.
Most people exerted all their strength to redirect their attention, forcibly emptying their minds.
Having gone through the incident last month, no one doubted the authenticity of this game announcement anymore.
But... there were still many people who couldn't control their minds, and the more they feared, the images in their minds exploded like a rapidly playing slideshow!
"Bang, bang, bang!"
When ghosts persisted in these peoples' minds for three seconds, death became an inevitability.
"Ghosts cannot appear in your mind."
It sounds somewhat vague.
But in reality, it's not about the word 'ghost' not appearing in the mind, but rather the images of ghosts.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
"Player Equipment": None.
"Player Skill": D-grade Skill "Calm and Composed".
"Player Title": None.
"Points Balance": 1038.
"Monthly Rule":
1: "Active Talent" task progress: 782/1000.
2: "Calm and Cool" task progress: 0/0.
He had already spoken 782 sentences today and still needed to speak 218 more to complete today's daily task.
As for the points.
Starting from May 1st, for each day the "Active Talent" daily rule task was completed, a reward of 1 point was given, amounting to a total of 18 points to date.
The remaining 1020 points were obtained from the Yancheng Law Enforcement Bureau.
And at that moment—
A young man came racing toward him on a motorcycle, screeching to a stop in front of Chen Yi, whistled long, grinned and said, "Yi, I'm not late, am I?"
"Right, Yi, do you remember that counter boy we met last time we went to buy medical gloves?"
"That guy's dead. I went to get supplies today and he wasn't there, so I asked around."
"Hey, guess what."
"That guy's wife, to keep herself and the men from thinking about that thing, wore a red sexy nightgown, hung red lanterns all over the bedroom, and lit lots of candles all while her husband was off from work and not home."
"She planned to give her man a little romantic surprise."
"As a result, when the guy opened the door and saw this thing in the bedroom, his mind uncontrollably brought up that thing and he died on the spot."
"Sigh, what a pity, huh? What was that woman thinking?"
"She's really doing more harm than good to her man."
"If you ask me..."
"..."
Chen Yi, who had just raised his hand to greet him, could not help but twitch the corners of his mouth slightly as he saw that with the mere lift of his hand, the man before him started babbling endlessly like a babbling brook, making him feel a throbbing pain in his temples.
If the daily rule task "Active Talent", which tortures everyone by forcing all players to speak a thousand words with people every day, were to favor anyone.
It would be this person right in front of him.
A severe chatterbox.
Someone who was despised wherever he went, but now, the whole world was forced to become chatterboxes just like him.
"Hold on a second..."
Stopping him with a somewhat tired voice, Chen Yi said, "If I'm not mistaken, you must have completed your daily task shortly after you got up and opened your eyes, right? You really don't need to talk so much now."
