Rules-based ghost talk game

“What is the meaning of Tieba’s existence?”

Chen An's eyes suddenly shrank. At this moment, he thought of the extremely weird "bar rules", thought of the Yin Qiao Fairy on the side, thought of those terrifying "upside-down people", and also thought of going crazy in the end.

of Prunus.

I also thought of Chen Sheng.

I have been wandering on the edge of life and death, never stopping. It is only after the second game that I feel some peace in my heart and my life gradually becomes calmer.

At this moment, Chen An was a little distracted. He suddenly understood something and understood why those people in the outer city gave up entering the third game and only wanted to live in the "slums" with difficulty.

"Yes." Brother Scar nodded. He stood up, poured the red wine in the decanter into a goblet, and placed it in front of Chen An.

"Why does the post bar exist? Why do you become a player? What is the meaning of the story world? What are ordinary posts and elite posts? Where do the weird paths come from..."

There was a faint smile on Brother Scar's face, but that smile seemed a bit forced in Chen An's eyes.

"Brother Scar, please clarify my doubts." Chen An cupped his hand.

Brother Scar sat down, raised his glass to Chen An, and said: "The red wine from Altepusius Manor is thirty years old. If you can understand it...although it is not as good as the wine in the real world."

Romanee-Conti is almost as good as the red wine of Valandro Winery.”

Chen An blinked his eyes.

To be honest, Romanee-Conti himself had heard that it was a bottle of red wine costing millions in the real world, but Valandro really didn’t know about it, but it sounded very powerful.

Brother Scar smiled and said: "Cheers."

Click.

The crisp sound of clinking glasses sounded, and Chen An's glass was slightly lower than Brother Scar's.

Then, with the slightly astringent taste in his mouth and the strong aroma of grapes, Chen An smacked his mouth.

Well, it is a red wine that is worthy of being called "Alte" and is comparable to the existence of "Valentreux".

I don’t know what the difference is with grape juice, maybe it is more expensive than grape juice.

A little more sour.

After a sip of red wine, Brother Scar’s voice came one after another.

"What is Alte? First of all, you need to know what this so-called essence post world is like."

Chen An put down his wine glass and looked at Brother Scar with bright eyes.

"Whether it is an elite post or an ordinary post, it is also a story world. In fact, they are all in the same world.

That is the world we are in now, and the existence of this world is like the shadow of the real world, or... the dark side of the real world."

Chen An was slightly startled.

The shadow of the real world? The dark side of the real world? The dark side?

He remembered the weird and violent behavior of Sister Yijia and Xiao Hutou, the old man playing chess downstairs, and the weird and violent behavior of those people when they were in front of him during his "normal post".

At that time, I once complained: "This is just like the territory of Internet trolls. No, there are good people on the Internet. This world seems to have expanded the dark side of people's hearts."

Brother Scar dug out a piece of mashed potatoes with a spoon, put it on his plate, and continued:

"So, let's call this world the Dark World. Airt, Funong, and Wenwan are the three largest cities in the Dark World. They are also called the capitals. Each city has a history of hundreds of years.

, and its scale is huge, with the population of any major capital exceeding 300,000.

In addition, there are seventy-two small cities like Ruandu where we are located, also known as the seventy-two times.

However, Soft City has declined greatly. Over the years, there have been fewer and fewer players in Soft City, and the core old players have also gone to the main city. I remember that more than ten years ago, there were tens of thousands of people in Soft City. Now, It’s probably only five or six thousand.”

Listening to Brother Scar's words, Chen An felt his head buzzing. He felt like a toddler, ignorantly listening to adults talk about what the outside world was like.

"More than 300,000 people...there are millions of players in the entire Dark World?"

Chen An said in disbelief.

Brother Scar shook his head:

"No, it really all belongs to the player. There are only seventy-two capitals. After passing the second game, you have the permission to enter the third game without being forced. Players can actually go to the main capital.

But after entering the main capital, the game structure will enter a new stage. Players will obtain the status of residents of the main capital. At the same time, if certain requirements are met, residents of the main capital can get married and have children just like in the real world. If After completing a new game in the capital city, depending on the degree of contribution, future generations can even be freed from the identity of the player.

Seven or eight hundred years, how long is it?”

Brother Scar sighed.

“The dark world, also known as Tieba, is pulling people into this world from the real world all the time. People are dying every day, and people are entering it every day.

The first batch of players who came to the dark world founded the three main cities. After seven or eight hundred years of evolution, groups of people came to the main cities. Some of them got married and had children, freeing their descendants from the players. Some of them became high-level people, and some died in more terrifying story worlds.

Those descendants who have got rid of the identity of players will also grow up, get married and have children, and reproduce. Some of these descendants are not willing to live an ordinary life and become players, and some live in the dark world, living a life that is not much different from the real world. lifetime.

But the mortality rate of players is much higher than that of ordinary people.

Therefore, only a small portion of the residents of the three major cities are truly players."

Brother Scar took a bite of the mashed potatoes and said, "I put too much water in the mashed potatoes today, Zi Yan, please be careful next time."

Wang Ziyan, who was still feeding Ding Ping, raised her eyebrows and said, "I know."

Chen An was already a little shocked.

He had never thought that outside of the ordinary real world, there was a world like the "Dark World".

And now I have become a member of this world.

"What's the meaning of the story world?" Chen An couldn't help but ask.

Brother Scar took a deep breath and said:

"This is also the meaning of the existence of this world.

As you can imagine, the dark world is chaotic and twisted compared to the real world. Except for the seventy-two capitals and the three main capitals, only the through-type subway can travel through it, and beyond, there is a crazy, unstable, and twisted desert. .

Only places where there is pollution will be mapped to the dark world and become... the story world.

The so-called entering the story world is just that [the system] transports you to a certain place in the dark world."

"Pollution?" Chen An keenly captured this word.

In Jingshan Hospital, in Dalin Mountain, whether it is the erosion of the mountain god and the smiling rabbit, or the "infection" of Jingshan Hospital, it is actually a kind of "pollution", a kind of "spiritual pollution".

“Why does pollution exist?”

Chen An's voice trembled slightly, and he seemed to have an intuition in his mind. This "pollution" seemed to be the reason for the existence of the entire dark world.

Brother Scar tapped the table twice with his index finger and uttered two words.

"The human heart."

Then, he said:

"There is darkness and a dark side in everyone's heart. No matter what the reason is, no matter what the experience is that causes it, it is an undeniable fact that there is darkness in the human heart.

A long time ago, when the Dark World did not exist, the real world at that time was just the real world.

Later, some things happened. Those things were a long time ago, and the high-level mutants never talked about those things, so we have no way of knowing.

All I know is that a lot of things happened at that time, which were chaotic and terrifying.

Later, the dark world appeared,

At the same time, the dark side of the human heart also has a certain ability to materialize under the influence of unknown factors.

Weird, absurd, bizarre, twisted, and crazy.

When the human heart's malice, darkness, violence, distortion, madness, or any kind of negative emotion reaches a certain level, people will be targeted by unknown beings.

The darkness that seems to come from the source of his own soul will envelope him.

As a result, some weird things happen, and absurd and bizarre stories happen. Those are things in the real world. After being distorted and amplified by unknown forces, they become ghost-like existences and are materialized in the dark world.

And in the unstable dark world, corresponding to a certain place in the real world, [the existence of the real world] with chaotic characteristics will appear, and it will become,

Story world."

Chen An's eyes were a little dull.

If he were allowed to think about it on his own, he would not be able to guess that the reason for the existence of the story world is actually the darkness of human hearts in reality.

And the "unknown power"? What is that? It seems to be related to what happened before the dark world appeared.

Chen An took a deep breath and said, "I think I understand a little bit."

This can also explain why there is Xue Yue'er in Dalin Mountain, and at that time I met Xue Yue'er, who was the protagonist of the story, but was also the player's Yin Qiao Xian.

Brother Scar said softly:

"It's not over yet.

If the story world in the dark world that corresponds to reality is not cleared up in time, the weirdness will become more powerful, and eventually...

It will infect the real world, the world you are familiar with.

At that time, the real world will truly become the story world you have experienced."

Chen An's pupils suddenly shrank.

His body was also trembling slightly at this moment.

On my back, a chill seemed to run from my tailbone to the back of my head.

Emotions of coldness and panic slowly floated in my heart.

He had doubted and doubted why Tieba existed, and why players were allowed to experience that weird and terrifying story world, which made players despair and make players crazy!

Brother Scar looked at Chen An who said nothing. He could understand Chen An's mood at the moment.

After a while, Chen An's voice became slightly hoarse and he said slowly:

"So, every one of our players, actually...

All,

Guardian of the real world?”

Brother Scar nodded, took a sip of Alter's red wine, and said;

"They are also a group of weird and crazy wretches who are constantly fighting against each other."
