Rules-based ghost talk game

After saying goodbye to Brother Scar, Chen An spent an hour walking around the inner city of Soft City.

He first went to the northernmost subway station. There were almost no people there. He saw a few well-dressed inner-city people here and there, holding suitcases or handbags, looking at their watches and waiting for the subway.

Most likely they were going to the main capital.

As for the people leaving the station, Chen An did not see them.

When returning, Chen An passed through the cemetery to the west. It was the entire inner city of Soft City, occupying about one-fifth of the area. It was surrounded by black iron fences. In the cemetery, gray and white, Stone tablets of various shapes occupy about two-thirds of the base of Mo.

Chen An stood at the door of the cemetery, quietly crossed himself on his chest, and did not go in. He felt that it was too heavy.

There must be tens of thousands of people? At least seven or eight thousand... Chen An's breathing was a little heavy. After a while, he bowed deeply and left the cemetery.

I passed by the exchange, which was an orange building that looked like a bullpen.

These official buildings in Soft City...are all weird... Chen An commented.

After walking in, there is only a simple counter with an electronic screen displaying text information.

[Weird Level - Sinner] Weird Source - Price: 6500 points

[Weird Level-Killer] Medium-Price: 5,000 points

[Suspected to be grotesque - Foolish Believer's Source - Clues, 50% credibility] Price: 1200 points

[Five horror-level path names] Price: 2,300 points

...

After looking around, Chen An was a little speechless.

It's too expensive, it's really too expensive... However, there are actually "thriller-level" path names for sale. Is this very precious? At least it seems so from the price point of view.

Chen An pondered for a moment, then asked the staff member wearing a brown uniform and a complete iron mask: "How often are these sales items or messages refreshed?"

The mask the man wore was thick, his hair was brown and curly, and his face could not be seen. He spoke in a very clean voice: "Hello, sir, this is irregular. It may be refreshed soon, or it may not be refreshed in a week. Depends on who buys it or who sells it."

Chen An was thoughtful... It turns out that secret knowledge can be sold here.

Regarding the news that there are angels and gods above the bishop, if it is sold, it can be sold for a lot of money, right?

However, this involved Chen Sheng, and why he couldn't sell it like this despite knowing that it would easily attract the attention of people in the City Lord's Mansion.

"How to price the sale of secret knowledge or clues?" Chen An couldn't help but ask.

"For these related contents, the great bar owner has left regulations, such as the horror-level path above. If you can provide it, you can get about 5 points of story point sales fee. Of course, no matter who buys it, you can only get it once. It’s 5 o’clock.” The staff member said.

So black-hearted! I would like to call you the Bear of Wall Street! Chen An complained in his heart.

But... this makes sense. After all, the bar owner looks like a god. Well, he naturally knows these things, and in order to avoid price confusion... maybe the mechanism of selling knowledge is just to control the player's progress. ?

After leaving the exchange, Chen An went to the clothing store.

Walking into a clothing store that looked like a hotel in his previous life, Chen An was still a little lucky after he once again complained that "you can't tell the function of a store in Soft City just by looking at its appearance."

There are all kinds of clothes here. After shopping for twenty minutes, he found a clown costume.

It was a funny, furry outfit composed of red, white, and blue stripes, and a pair of brown boots with pointed hooks.

Of course, a clown mask composed of red, yellow and white and a plastic red nose are indispensable.

After shopping around for a few times, Chen An chose a brand new long black coat with gray lining, wool material and a hood.

My old one... has two holes in the back, making it leaky when walking.

Taking the clothes he purchased, Chen An came to the checkout counter. The store was small and there were only three checkout counters.

On the road, you can see a few players here and there. They are dressed in different styles, some have blond curly hair, and some have long black hair.

However, their expressions were slightly indifferent, and Chen An did not take the initiative to talk to them.

"It cost 23 story coins, which is 230 points..." Chen An looked at the receipt with some pain, and then threw it into the dark green recycling bin at the door.

Fortunately, I had withdrawn 50 coins from the bank before, but now, including the balance in the bank, I only have 1170 points left.

Chen An gritted his teeth and felt poor.

Although knowing that there are secret organizations carrying out activities is not a good thing for Soft City, Chen An has begun to look forward to the tasks being refreshed on the app.

I can't end up relying on the three people at home to support me.

Chen An walked out of the "hotel" and looked at the slightly dazzling sunlight above his head, then covered his face.

...

Back home, Chen An was hanging his coat on the antler-shaped hanger, and then he caught a glimpse of a figure wearing a beige robe, a hood and a veil.

"Hey, Sister Luoying, are you back?"

Chen An said hello, and his eyes were immediately attracted to Miao Luoying.

At this moment, Miao Luoying was taking off the white translucent veil that symbolized "mystery", slowly put her hands behind her head, and untied the white gauze covering her eyes.

"Ding Ping and I went to the bank and went shopping." Miao Luoying chuckled and said, "Look at the new gauze scarf I bought. After putting it on, I feel more like a mystical scholar.

"

"It suits you very well. It's very...um...cool." Chen An gave a thumbs up: "Where are Ding Ping and Yin Qiaoxian? I didn't see them."

Miao Luoying picked up the veil and gauze scarf on the table and said: "Ding Ping went to the outer city. She said she wanted to refund the rent of the previous house. I don't know about Yin Qiaoxian. I didn't see her after she came back.

"

"Like this..." Chen An blinked: "Have you eaten?"

Miao Luoying was obviously startled: "I've eaten outside."

"Then... is it convenient, let me ask you something? Beautiful mysterious lady?" A bright smile appeared on Chen An's face.

Well, although Miao Luoying couldn't see it, she could probably feel it.

"I think we can meet in my room in half an hour." A slight smile appeared on Miao Luoying's lips. She raised her brows slightly and spread her hands: "I can't tolerate the smell on my body. The afternoon in Rudu is too

hot."

"As you wish, beautiful lady."

...

After putting the things back in his bedroom, Chen An went to the backyard. This was a courtyard provided by the villa. It occupied a small area, only half the size of a basketball court, but there was a large tree planted with a crown that could not be seen at a glance.

Looks like a good target... Chen An thought.

Taking a breath, he took out a brown leather bag about half the size of a palm from his pocket.

Sealed Artifact 4-131 "Emotional Pocket"... Chen An stared at it. As the thoughts in his mind flowed, a feeling that could be "triggered" seemed to surge into his heart.

He carefully opened the mouth of the bag, and as the buckle made a faint "click" sound, Chen An looked curiously into the dark bag.

Well... nothing.

Then, he pointed the hole in his pocket at the tree trunk in the yard.

As his thoughts flowed, Chen An suddenly felt a palpitation in his heart, as if something invisible and intangible in his mind was suddenly taken away by the "Sealed Artifact 4-131" in his hand.

At the same time, the "Sealed Artifact 4-131" in his hand shook slightly.

Whoosh!

In an instant, a slightly nihilistic small dagger with a wooden handle, a silver blade, and a length of about six centimeters was stuck on the tree trunk!

So fast!

He walked closer to the tree trunk and observed it. Within three seconds, the dagger became blurry and transparent before his eyes, and then disappeared.

Only a dark wound was left on the tree trunk. Chen An observed that almost half of the wound was inserted, which was two centimeters.

I stroked it with my hand and tapped the trunk. Well, the material is very hard.

"The aggression is not as strong as expected, but it is not weak either." Chen An thought to himself.

At the same time, Chen An suddenly felt a little restless. The tree trunk in front of him seemed to have turned into a bitter enemy. Chen An had the urge to tear the trunk into pieces and beat it angrily.

It's a random emotional disturbance... There seems to be a certain delay... But it's still within a bearable range... On Chen An's face, yellow, white, red, and three-color ink-like colors emerged from the skin.

.

These three colors smudged in the overlapping and interweaving, and finally white became the majority, and red turned into a semi-arc shape along the corners of the mouth.

It was a face that was half-crying with a straight face.

Feeling a little sadness and indifference brought to me by the "clown mask", this emotion and anger were neutralized, and both became close to "nothing".

It was effective... but Chen An directly removed the clown mask.

He sat on a bench in the backyard with his hands on his knees and waited.

One minute...the side effects will last for one minute.

Chen An looked at his phone and saw that it had been exactly half an hour.

He took a breath, adjusted himself, and straightened the collar of his shirt, then put "Sealed Artifact 4-131" into his trouser pocket and walked toward the second floor.

Pushing open the door of Miao Luoying's room, Chen An's eyes were slightly startled.

This place has begun to look like a "mysterious lady"! He couldn't help but praise it in his heart.

On the table, there is a crystal ball, surrounded by some colorful stones, strange hairs and scales.

Although the lights were not turned on and the curtains were closed on the balcony, the orange table lamp on the bedside gave off a warm yellow light.

Moreover, as soon as Chen An entered the door, he smelled a faint aroma, like burning agarwood. No, this smell was more complex.

It seems that the emotional fluctuations in my mind caused by "Sealed Artifact 4-131" just now are gradually calming down, and the whole person's mind is somewhat peaceful.

"Here." Miao Luoying heard the footsteps and waved.
