It is said that I convince people with reason

"Meow~"

The black cat gave a soft cry, jumped onto the shoulder of the illusory figure lightly, and then dispersed.

"chestnut!"

Zhang Yue screamed subconsciously and woke up completely. He sat up from the ground and looked around.

The books and test papers stacked high blocked the sunlight outside the window. The dark study room was empty. The chair he had overturned before was still on the ground, but the strange "test paper monster" disappeared. ‌, the illusory figure suspected of being Ji Bai also disappeared. It was as if everything was just an illusion he had 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 Li Zi... they really showed up..."

He sat blankly on the ground, and the despair from not long ago still remained on his pale, blood-lost face. The despair dissipated, and emotions of shock, confusion, fear, surprise, and disbelief appeared again. Changing back and forth.

"Could it be that I actually still have the ability to speak my mind, so that whatever I want comes true?"

The arrogant Zhang Yue patted his forehead, and in a blink of an eye, he forgot the painful experience he had encountered before, and still had the intention to make a little joke with himself.

However, of course he knew this couldn't be true.

After calming down, Zhang Yue recalled the sudden starlight. Afterwards, Zhang Yue noticed more details that he had not noticed before - at that time, he faintly sensed some kind of connection from the depths of the starlight. It was as if I had established a connection with an existence deep within the starlight.

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

He suddenly realized: "...is it Yuan Xia Dada?!"

"——Yuan Xia must have saved me!"

At the same time, there were many people who had similar experiences to Zhang Yue. Some, like him, encountered the protagonist of the novel appearing in reality, and some temporarily obtained a certain ability of the protagonist in the novel and were able to get out of the crisis. These people are basically loyal fans of the book "Investigator Daily".

Because of 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 vaguely realized that this matter might be related to the author "Abyss".

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

Suddenly, they admired and loved "Yuan Xia" more and more, the book "Investigator Daily", and the protagonist Ji Bai who they already loved so much.

——And this deepened love is turned into "prestige value", which keeps flowing towards Yuan Buwei.

On the other side, with the appearance of the Altar of Sloth and Fang Luo, the deep white fog quickly spread towards the entire Tianze City. Everyone enveloped in the fog fell into a deep sleep, and their consciousness was pulled into a dream. in space.

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

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

After a while, he figured out the situation of these monsters and told Yuan Buwei: "It's regret...the source of these monsters comes from the regret thoughts in everyone's heart. It doesn't need too much, just a little bit is enough." ‌.”

I didn’t realize it immediately.

"There should be a certain sealed object or weird thing that can trigger these people's deeply hidden thoughts of regret and turn them into monsters that appear in reality, and these monsters have obviously been distorted and become very extreme. "

It's like Zhang Yue only regretted that he didn't study hard, but the "test paper monster" that appeared has been twisted to the point of "if you don't study seriously, you will die."

Since these monsters come from the regret that is urged deep in everyone's heart, it is easy to understand that they are endlessly killed and resurrected from the dead.

If it were in the real Tianze City, it would not be easy to solve this problem. Probably to find the source of everything.

——If it is a special sealed object, try to contain it; if it is some kind of weird phenomenon, you must break the weird rules. And to do this, it is likely to eliminate the thoughts of regret in everyone's hearts, just like how to get rid of people's inner demons in fairy novels.

But how is this possible?

As long as a human being lives in this world, there will always be more or less regretful things, especially when there is some kind of force deliberately guiding them in the dark. This idea was eliminated, and there was another regretful thing. Then it popped up.

Even saints with a clear conscience and pure innocence, and villains who are not ashamed of any crimes they commit, can hardly guarantee that they will never regret anything. Maybe you can only do it if you go to the extreme of yourself and others.

If you want to use the method of "getting rid of inner demons" to save people, even if you don't think so, you think you can't do it.

——Then there is only a simpler and cruder way.

What happened to Zhang Yue inspired him.

Just as a perfect assassination is one where no one sees it, adhering to this idea. It is impossible to let these people actively dispel the regret in their hearts, so let them lose it passively - just empty all their emotions and turn them into a sluggish state, isn't it?

The more I think about it, the more perfect it seems. Yuan Buwei completely put his mind at ease and had a plan in mind.

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

"Of course it's paint, oh no, I mean emotions and thoughts. Now there are more and more evil ghosts, and there are not enough paints..." Fang Luo spoke subconsciously, complained a few words, and suddenly realized something, "Big brother, you mean..."

"Aren't these kind people who are sent up for you to grab paint? In the dream space, what is the essential difference between these monsters and nightmare beasts?"

Yuan Buwei began to carefully teach the skills of the tool man to grab wool, and by the way, he also taught a wave of skills to squeeze the tool ghosts.

"And you don't have to do it yourself, there are so many evil ghosts."

"Why didn't I think of it?"

Fang Luo's eyes lit up, and he quickly thanked Yuan Buwei for his reminder, as if he had completely forgotten that he was supposed to help Yuan Buwei.

Looking at Fang Luo who began to enslave the tool ghosts, as if he had opened the door to a new world, Yuan Buwei quietly retreated without showing his merits.

System 999, who was watching silently, couldn't bear to watch.

...Still thanking the host foolishly. Do you think you have changed from a slave to an overseer? No, you just became a slave leader!

Chapter 110 Wen Hao 28

In fact, it's not just the tool ghosts that can be exploited, there are also a large number of tool people.

They are all investigators sent by the Special Affairs Bureau. Some are locals in Tianze City, and some are sent to support from other places.

These investigators are experienced, fearless of life and death, and carry powerful seals. Unfortunately, abnormal events are not like game copies, where you can pass them with strong strength; nor are they like homework questions, where you can become proficient with more practice. They are all strange and bizarre, and each abnormal event is a new test for the investigators.

Obviously, this abnormal event is very special, because several batches of investigators who arrived before and after were trapped here.

——Tianze City has a population of nearly 10 million. Although a considerable number of people died in the hands of the monsters that appeared unexpectedly after the mutation broke out, most of the remaining people still survived in time until the investigators from the Special Affairs Bureau arrived. ∞思∞Rabbit∞网∞

However, these investigators did not expect in advance that the monsters this time were not what they imagined, but were born from the regretful thoughts deep in everyone's heart. Every time one more person arrived, there would be one more monster.

Their arrival was not only useless, but also gave birth to more and more terrifying monsters. This is why everything Yuan Buwei saw was still so chaotic after his arrival. Because the investigators had no time to crack the source of everything, they were entangled by the monsters born from their inner regrets and fell into a bitter battle.

They were not much different from ordinary people who were struggling. At most, they had seals in their hands, which allowed them to kill monsters a few more times and delay for a while longer-until Yuan Buwei arrived.

As soon as the thick fog spread, the investigators distributed in various parts of Tianze City recognized that this was the ability of the Laziness Altar, and knew that this was mostly support from the Special Affairs Bureau.

They cooperated and took the initiative to meet the white fog, allowing their consciousness to enter the dream space.

When Fang Luo summoned the evil spirits in the dream space, he found that there was another group of investigators here.

Compared with those evil ghosts who need to be coerced or bribed to obey, these investigators who actively enter the dream are much more active. After hearing Yuan Buwei's idea, they immediately expressed their opinions: "We can also help!"

"In the outside world, these monsters can't be killed at all. They will only be resurrected continuously, which will consume our physical strength. But now, since we are in the dream, we have enough energy to consume it. The monsters we kill can also be used as energy to replenish the dream space. This is a good thing. Let's fight it to the death and see how long the source of the mutation behind it can last!"

"This is a good idea. I was so angry outside, and now I can finally vent my anger!"

Everyone spoke at once, looking excited.

With this group of proactive tool people and forced proactive tool ghosts, everything will be easy.

Fang Luo perfectly reproduced the real Tianze City in his dream, so that many ordinary people didn't even react. They thought they were still in reality, being chased by monsters behind them.

At this moment, one figure after another appeared out of thin air and easily destroyed the monsters chasing them.

In the explanations of these investigators and evil spirits who appeared out of thin air, ordinary people who didn't know the truth gradually learned the truth. The older people might be a little slow, but the young people who reacted were all excited.

For example, Zhang Yue, an old bookworm who lived in Zero Bookstore.

After accidentally summoning Ji Bai and Li Zi, he was temporarily cleared of all emotions and collapsed on the ground like a salted fish, until the white mist spread and made him fall asleep.

Perhaps because the remorse was temporarily cleared, after waking up from the dream, there were no more test paper monsters around him, but he encountered a few ordinary people who were chased by monsters and fled in panic.

At this time, the investigators appeared.

He quickly accepted the investigators' statement: "I understand, I understand! Since we are in the dream, with the support of the spirit of the dream, then we are just playing a holographic game, and the game system is openly cheating? Just a few monsters, no big deal!"

Others followed and reacted: "Yes, isn't this a holographic game? It's just that the monster's health bar comes from our regret value, and it has a special skill of resurrecting with full health after death!"

Once everything in the dream is regarded as a game, all the panic disappears in an instant, and an inexplicable excitement surges in their hearts, making them eager to try.

There are also students who are addicted to games who excitedly raise their hands and make suggestions to the "game system": "I suggest marking the health bars of these monsters. Humph, I'm not bragging, as long as you dare to show the health bar, the gods will kill you!" He sneered in a tone full of middle school students.

Fang Luo, who was regarded as a "game system":
