Chapter 200: Rules
Chapter 200: Rules
When the bus left the school, the students who had been hiding until the end finally showed their fangs. It was how scapegoats like Cai Meimei and Ma Tao could escape in the chaos. No one was useless in Class 13. Ten years ago, the students used their own methods to survive the bus crash. Instead, it was the staff who had perished.
The video is going everywhere. However, itll soon be taken down as jokes and pranks. The citizens will only know who is telling the truth after theyve experienced the anomaly themselves. Ma Tao put on the wireless headphones and tuned up the volume. The rain pattered on the window, and he moved his body according to the groove.
The horror game is starting. However, I still have to go to work like normal and cant do anything that will get me exposed.
When Gao Ming found Zhang Ding, Boss Zhang was leading the neighbours in dealing with the flood. They had been following the flood and ensuring that the nearby villages were not affected. They used a lot of time and aid from Yan Xizhi to send the flood back into the death portrait.
One-third of the water ghosts had been controlled by Zhang Ding and became part of his power. One-third was willing to listen to him. Only the last one-third was still resisting him.
Gao Ming, youve helped tremendously this time! I dont need to worry about the flood suddenly overflowing my supermarket anymore. Zhang Ding had suppressed the flood for a decade. He had never felt so at ease. It all started when he met Gao Ming. Holding the death portrait of the flood, Gao Ming could sense the change in Zhang Ding. Standing before the boss was like facing the giant flood alone.
Boss Zhang was different from Yan Xizhi. He was a good person, but he could be very aggressive. Once he became a big ghost, Gao Ming had the confidence to fight the investigation centre.
Brother Zhang, the fact that you can resummon the flood and have the rain from ten years ago fall on us means that youre already an anomaly at a haunted house level. You should have seen Headmistress Yans power earlier. If you are forced to fight her Gao Ming didnt finish, but Zhang Ding knew what he was aiming at.
I temporarily wont be Headmistress Yans match. It feels like everything in the world is helping her. Her words are the rules. Zhang Ding thought about it. If I want to reach her level, I need the survival desires of humans or ghosts and strong emotional energy. These two things can wear down the resentment of the victims of the flood and help them find themselves again. The other path is to have the flood consume more resentment rooms and haunted houses until it breaks through a certain limit.
Humans and ghosts desire for survival? Strong emotional energy? Do you need these things to be a big ghost that controls the rules? Gao Ming remembered what Zhang Ding said. He would focus on these in the future.
Yan Xizhi sacrificed herself to hold up all the students at the school so that the children in the shadow world would not disappear. It was how she became the faith at Han De Private School.
I think I get it. But we can do both things you mentioned. We can consume resentment rooms to increase the power of the flood and help cleanse the water ghosts simultaneously. Gao Mings words caused Zhang Dings eyes to twitch.
What if the flood goes out of control again?
I refuse to believe there is no evil that deserves to drown in Han Hai. Gao Ming put away the death portrait. No one wished for tragedy to happen. But if it were inevitable, it would have been better for the tragedy to fall on the bad guys.
You make sense, I guess. Once Gao Ming took out his phone in the middle of the conversation, Zhang Ding leaned over with the desire for gossip. Is this your girlfriend calling you? You have been out for a week already. Its normal for her to worry.
Shes scarier than a girlfriend. Gao Ming clicked the video message sent over by Wen Xuan. Someone had released the official game rules before they did.
Did someone from your class create this video? Zhang Dings first reaction was that this was something done by the students of Class 13 to save themselves.
Who could it be? Gao Ming thought back to his classmates. Who had the guts to challenge the investigation centre so openly and knew computers so well
It could be a group of people. Your class is filled with geniuses. Zhang Ding waved and sent Zhang Fendou and his pig back into the portrait. Our target is too big. Ill go back into the portrait. Youll have to decide how to proceed.
Since the rules had been released, Gao Ming decided to go along with it. He had Wen Xuan release more info on Dead Water Forum.
The situation is still unclear. Even though the investigation centre has lost a lot of people, the local centres can still deal with the local anomalies. The headquarters has more trump cards too.
The anomaly at the school has spread. The most immediate thing I need to do is to get the citizens to join my side as players.
At Han De Private Academy, Gao Ming learned many things. There were many ways to deal with ghosts. One could use cursed objects to kill them, interact with them using sincerity or make a deal with them. There was no fixed answer or best answer on how to deal with ghosts.
If I were you, I would join the investigation centre. When youre the chief, what cant you handle at Han Hai? Those who dare to come after you will be sent in here before they can do anything.
No. I believe a full-on anarchy is more artistic. You can hide in the back to control the citizens and have them take the risk for you. You will trade information for death portraits. When you have enough citizens on your side, do you still need to worry about the investigation centre?
The voices in his heart were noisy. Xia Yang shared what he heard with Situ An. The two scariest villains were planning horrible things in Gao Mings heart.
Both of you have a point.
Gao Ming talked to himself like a crazy person.
The citizens of Han Hai will not believe in anomaly just yet. The investigation centre is hiding it for some reason. Those ghosts from the shadow world will be even more low-profile after they have taken over people in the real world.
However, what theyre doing will only buy me more time so that I can do all the preparation before the horror story spreads all over Han Hai. Gao Ming counted the death portraits he had in his possession. Ive grasped the levels of the ghosts in the city and the difference within the various difficulties. However, a good game cannot just have death and horror. It has to possess a good reward mechanic as well. To gain the support of the citizens, I need to give them hope so that they can unleash their full potential in despair.
The map of Han Hais 19 districts appeared in his mind. Gao Ming memorised the location of all the investigation centres. When the centres started a new base, they would usually pick the spot where the anomaly was the most prominent.
Ill start with Queens at the east city. Ill create controllable anomalies with suitable danger levels to gain the faith, hope and emotions of all the players. Then, Ill send these things to Boss Zhang for him to become a big ghost who can control the rules!
As the only horror game designer at Han Hai, Gao Ming touched the death portraits in his pocket as he moved forward through the rain.
