I Persuade People With Reason

In the study room, where the light was blocked by books and could not shine through, Zhang Yue, who was sitting at the desk, looked at the high-numerical questions in front of him.

As an ordinary person, it is very difficult to maintain a high degree of concentration for a long time. Anyone can have occasional distractions, drinking water or convenience. However, under the supervision of that weird "examination monster", he couldn't do any of these. All he could do was study for a moment.

Perhaps, in the eyes of this test paper monster, I am a learning robot that does not use rest. Parents and teachers must like it very much... I muttered silently in my heart, Zhang Yue feels that he is now himself? People became related and entered the small dark room, and there was no way to ask for help.

The illusory eye on the ceiling was staring at him. When Zhang Yue paused for more than half a minute, the illusory tentacles distributed in the surrounding space suddenly wrapped around him.

He screamed suddenly, rolled down from the chair, curled up into a ball, rolled on the ground, twitched in pain, and screamed.

I saw? Countless fine tentacles twisted upward from his limbs, deeply rooted in his body. The bright red blood rushed up wildly along the transparent tentacles, making that illusory eye look even more eerie and deep.

Zhang Yue's face turned pale as the blood flowed away. He struggled painfully on the ground, feeling tears and snot pouring out together, and his head didn't even feel violently dizzy.

He had no doubt that he would die in the next moment.

At this moment, he suddenly "see?" A dazzling brilliance appeared out of nowhere above his head, like a starlight suddenly descending, shrouding him all at once.

An indescribable sense of comfort suddenly enveloped him.

Zhang Yue even instinctively noticed that this "starlight" contained a powerful force, which could help him get rid of the current desperate power, but he didn't know how to do it—

As soon as such an idea came out, the illusory starlight gradually appeared in the depths of dense texts, intertwined with each other, and a starry sky unfolded in front of Zhang Yue's eyes.

He meditated almost subconsciously.

"...This, this is "Investigator's Daily"! What is the content of that book?!" Zhang Yue was shocked by the familiar content, and he almost stopped thinking.

The next moment, he watched the words dissipate, and illusory pictures evolved in the depths of the starlight, as if there was a real world? The world was born little by little in the depths of the starlight, as a true love fan of him. Even recognized the content of the screen at a glance.

"This is the protagonist Ji Bai, and his black cat Lizi. This is the plot of their first encounter..."

Along with this familiar picture, a lot of doubts flooded Zhang Yue's mind instantly.

…what the **** is going on? Is this a hallucination I had just before I died? Could it be because I want to see the plot of that book so much... that's quite possible. Yi Yuan's big urination, don't you know when it will end, maybe? It will still be smeared... No? I'm going to die now.

Okay? Be willing...

Zhang Yue was thinking in a mess.

If only I could have special powers like Ji Bai, the power to restrain test paper monsters... If only Ji Bai, the perfect "investigator" could really appear and protect me in reality...

Just thinking of this, Zhang Yue suddenly saw all the pictures in front of him dissipate, condensed into a strong brilliance, washed towards him, and he narrowed his eyes subconsciously.

In the blurred line of sight, Zhang Yue saw a blurred illusory figure congealing in front of him, thin and not strong, a casual hooded sweater and trousers, a ghostly black cat squatting on his shoulder.

This illusory figure stretched out a hand and pulled towards the dense illusory tentacles—

"...Ji Bai?!"

Zhang Yue's heart suddenly set off a storm.

The tentacles shattered in mid-air, and the one eye on the ceiling was torn to pieces by the sharp claws of the black cat. Then, the black cat meowed and jumped onto Zhang Yue from midair, with a pair of dark blue cat eyes staring at him quietly.

One second, two seconds, three seconds... Zhang Yue gradually became sluggish.

Inexplicably, he only felt that all the emotions in his heart dissipated in an instant. Including what should have been fierce and turbulent remorse. It was like a piece of jelly had been scooped up by a spoon, and his mind was completely empty.

At the last moment, the only thought that flashed in his mind was: this seems to be an ability of chestnuts in the book - "salted fish staring", anyone who looks at it for more than ten seconds will be hit by a button Empty all thoughts and emotions, fall into the salted fish moment, too lazy to think, too lazy to move, too lazy to do anything.

Then, he gave up the struggle, and the whole person fell into the salted fish posture Orz who wanted to do nothing.

For a long time, Zhang Yue finally broke free from the salty fish emotion of not wanting to do anything, and then saw the brilliance in front of him dissipate, and the last illusory figure quietly dissipated.

"Meow~"

The black cat let out a soft cry, jumped on the shoulders of the illusory figure, and dispersed together.

"Chestnut!"

Zhang Yue let out a subconscious cry, woke up completely, sat up from the ground and looked around.

Books and test papers stacked high and high blocked the sunlight outside the window. The dim study room was empty. The chair he had overturned before was still on the ground, but the strange "test paper monster" disappeared. Now, the illusory figure that looks like Ji Bai has also disappeared. See you. As if everything was just an illusion he created out of thin air.

But Zhang Yue knew that was not the case.

"It's true... Ji Bai really came to reality from the novel? And the chestnut... They really showed up..."

He sat blankly on the ground, his pale face that had lost blood still had the despair of not long ago, the despair dissipated, and there was again stunned, confused, fearful, surprised, and unbelievable emotions. Changing back and forth.

"Could it be that I still have the ability to speak spirit, and I can do whatever I want?"

The big-hearted Zhang Yue patted his forehead, and in a blink of an eye, he forgot the painful experience he had encountered before, and he still had the heart to play a little joke with himself.

But, of course he knew that it might not be true.

After calming down and recalling the sudden starlight, Zhang Yue noticed more details that he hadn't noticed before - at that time, he faintly sensed some kind of connection from the depths of the starlight. As if he had established a connection with a being in the depths of the starlight.

For no reason, Zhang Yue intuitively thought of the comment for help he posted in the "Investigator Daily" book review area when the abnormal event was just born.

He suddenly suddenly said, "...is it the Great Yuan?!"

"—Yuanxia must have saved me greatly!"

At the same time, there were many people who had similar experiences with Zhang Yue. Some meet like him, and the protagonist of the novel appears in reality, and some temporarily acquire a certain ability of the protagonist in the novel and can escape the crisis. These people are basically loyal fans of the book "Investigator Daily".

Due to the invisible connection from the reputation value, as well as the magical experience of the characters and skills in the fantasy novels being realized in reality, they all faintly realized that this matter may have something to do with the author "Under the Abyss".

As ordinary people, under the propaganda of the Special Affairs Bureau, they have all heard of the magic of sealed objects and the power of investigators. And "Yuanxia", as a member of the investigators, has some magical abilities, it is not an exaggeration.

All of a sudden, they admired and loved "Yuanxia", the book "The Investigator Daily", and the protagonist Ji Bai, who had already loved it.

- And this deepened love is turned into "reputation value", which keeps coming together for the original purpose.

On the other side, with the appearance of the Altar of Sloth and Fang Luo's appearance, the deep white mist quickly spread to the whole Tianze City. Everyone shrouded in the mist fell into a deep sleep, and their consciousness was pulled into a dream. in space.

And the monster that was born in their hearts also chased their consciousness and entered the dream.

With the help of Yuan Buwei, Fang Luo, who had gradually gained most of the control over the dream space, immediately mobilized his authority.

After a while, he figured out the situation of these monsters, and told the original reason: "It's remorse... The source of these monsters comes from the remorse in everyone's heart, don't you need too much, as long as a little is enough? ."

The original is not? To understand immediately.

"There should be some kind of Sealed Artifact or weirdness that can trigger these people's deeply hidden regrets, turning them into monsters and appearing in reality, and these monsters have obviously been distorted and become very extreme. "

It's like Zhang Yue just regretted that he didn't study hard back then, but the "examination paper monster" that appeared has been distorted to the level of "don't study hard and die?".

Since these monsters come from the remorse that everyone's heart is evoked, it is easy to understand that they are not killed and come back to life.

If it is in the real Tianze City, it is not easy to solve it. Mostly to find the source of everything.

- If it's a special Sealed Artifact, try to contain it; if it's some kind of weird phenomenon, the weird rules must be broken. And in order to do this, it is very likely to eliminate the thoughts of remorse in everyone's hearts, just like in Xianxia novels to eliminate the inner demons.

But how is this possible?

As long as people live in this world, more or less, there will always be things to regret, especially if there is some kind of power that deliberately guides them in the dark, this idea is eliminated, and it is another thing to regret came out.

Even a saint with a clear conscience and pure whiteness, and a villain who does not feel ashamed for committing any crime, can hardly guarantee that he will never regret anything. Perhaps only the self to the extreme to the human, can do it.

If you want to save people by "removing the demons from your heart", even if you don't do it, you can't do it by yourself.

- Then there is only a simpler and cruder approach.

What happened to Zhang Yue inspired him.

Just as the perfect assassination is when no one sees it, uphold this line of thinking. It is impossible for these people to take the initiative to dispel the thoughts of remorse? Then let them lose it passively? - Just empty out all their emotions and turn them all into a sluggish state of salted fish?

The more you think about it, the more perfect it becomes? Originally, in order to completely relax his mind, he was confident in his heart.

He looked at Fang Luo, who was asking for advice from him, and smiled and said, "Well, it's very simple. I said before, what is the most lacking thing in the dream space?"

"Of course it's paint, oh no, I mean emotional thoughts, now there are more and more evil ghosts, and there's not enough paint..." Fang Luo subconsciously opened his mouth, complained a few words, and suddenly understood, " Boss you? You mean..."

"Isn't this? Is it the kindhearted person who sent you the paint? In the dream space, what is the essential difference between these monsters and nightmare beasts??"

Wasn't it? In order to begin to teach the tool man the skills of scooping wool, he also taught a wave of the skills of squeezing the tool ghost.

"And you don't need to do it yourself, so what about a large number of evil spirits."

"Why didn't I think of that?"

Fang Luo's eyes suddenly lit up, and he quickly thanked Yuan for reminding him, as if he had completely forgotten that he was supposed to be helping Yuan.

Seeing that Fang Luo, who started to enslave and enslaved the tool ghost, seemed to have opened the door to a new world, he silently retreated in order to hide his merits and fame.

System 999, who was silently watching, simply couldn't bear to look directly at it.

...and stupidly thanking the host. Do you think you have gone from slave to overseer? No, you just became a slave boss!
