Weird Live Broadcast: I Can Deduce Endlessly

Chapter 204: Creating Rules (2)

"Rule generation in progress..."

"You must choose one of the following three restrictions as your limiting condition."

"1. Prohibited from having both feet off the ground simultaneously."

"2. Prohibited from physical contact with the opposite sex."

"3. Prohibited from using modern technological products."

"What the hell?"

Hearing these three options, Gu Yi's face turned pale.

Each restriction was more perverse than the last.

Option one meant he couldn't run or jump, and even when sleeping, he would have to sit in a chair with his feet always touching the ground.

Option two meant he couldn't help Xiao Xue or interact with Kanon, and he would have to avoid any encounters with women.

Option three was even more extreme; phones, breathing helmets, and even houses here were all modern technological products. To avoid breaking the rule, would he have to live in a thatched hut and hunt birds with a slingshot?

After some thought, Gu Yi decided that option one had the least severe side effects.

The power of psychological suggestion in this dungeon was incredibly strong, as there were almost no individuals with strong mental resilience in this world.

If he could publish the novel as planned and use psychological suggestion to gradually brainwash those around him, planting the seeds of resistance in their minds, then when the time came, with a single call, "His" rule would collapse without a fight.

"I choose one."

"Rule generation complete."

Gu Yi felt a shiver run through his body and looked at Er Gou.

To test his ability, he secretly used psychological suggestion on Er Gou, telling him to open the window in a moment.

"How do you feel?"

"Not bad."

"What is the limiting rule?"

"Can't have both feet off the ground simultaneously."

"Huh? So you can't run or jump?"

"And I have to figure out a way to keep my feet on the ground even when I sleep."

"Ugh... that's tough."

Er Gou shook his head and turned to open the window.

Gu Yi grinned and leisurely asked, "Why are you opening the window?"

"I feel hot." Er Gou paused, turning to look at Gu Yi, "Did you just do something to me?"

"Sorry, I just wanted to test if my ability worked well." Gu Yi shrugged. "Turns out, you can't always stay alert. Once you let your guard down, I can easily use psychological suggestion on you."

"Alright, just don't do it again. No more psychological suggestions on me in the future."

"It's late, let's go rest."

The two bid each other goodnight.

Gu Yi returned to his room, tied his feet to prevent them from leaving the ground, and then sat at his desk to write. Until midnight, when he was too tired to continue, he slumped over the desk to sleep.

Before closing his eyes, he didn't forget to use a psychological suggestion on himself to keep his feet still.

...

In the real world.

As Xi Wang had predicted, the strategy team didn't wait a full week before they all retreated to work in the ai raid shelters.

Domestically, they not only had to deal with the invading weird creatures but also had to guard against the surrounding armies eyeing them covetously.

The war had already reached the borders of the Dragon Country. The residents there could see tanks parading just beyond the national border every day. On this side of the border, large numbers of troops were gathering, making it seem like a battle could break out at any moment.

A civil war had already broken out in the Lighthouse Country, and due to the ongoing conflict, the Dragon Country's strategy team that had gone to support them was unable to return.

For now, both warring sides were maintaining basic restraint and had not harmed the members of the strategy team, but no one knew what terrible things might happen if the war continued to escalate.

"Haaa..."

Xi Wang sighed deeply, her brows furrowed. Having grown up in a peaceful country, her understanding of war was limited to what she had read in books.

Now that war was closing in, she realized that the most terrifying thing in the world was not weird powers, but the evil and greed inherent in human nature.

"What are you daydreaming about?"

"Uh, Team Leader, I was just lost in thought."

Qu Kangping walked over and gently patted Xi Wang on the shoulder. "Are you scared?"

"Scared? Not exactly. I just really hate that feeling of things being out of control. It's only been three or four days, and the whole world has turned into a massive battlefield.

More people have died from the war in these three or four days than from being killed by weird creatures.

Sometimes, I even think that these people didn’t start the war because of the influence of weird powers, but because their hearts were already full of violence, and the weird power was just the spark that landed on a powder keg.

You see, I gambled right on everything this time.

I said that this weird world reflects the whole of human society, and we can't make any changes in the real world."

Qu Kangping said nothing.

Since Ah Jian's death, he had paid particular attention to the mental states of his subordinates.

Clearly, Xi Wang, this tomboy, was already showing some psychological issues.

“Xi Wang, you really like gambling, don’t you?”

"Uh... Team Leader, I really haven't been gambling."

"Heh, I'm not blaming you. I just want to ask you a question. Why do you think Gu Yi has been able to clear the dungeons three times in a row?"

"Because he has a powerful talent?"

"Wrong. It's because he always believes in the bright side of human nature.

Faith is the strongest weapon against the weird power.

In the weird world, darkness prevails, but Gu Yi can still find that bit of light in the midst of it. He hasn't given up, so why are you wallowing in self-pity?"

Xi Wang smiled noncommittally, "Alright, Team Leader. I was just venting. Let's get to work."

...

The next morning.

Gu Yi got up from his desk, rubbing his shoulders. Sleeping hunched over all night left him feeling sore all over.

He stretched a bit and immediately went to work in the mine.

To have time to slack off, Gu Yi used his skill on the supervisor, making him order Gu Yi to work in the office.

This way, he could legitimately use the supervisor's office to write his novel.

At his current pace, he would be able to publish his novel by tomorrow morning.

The workday ended.

Gu Yi checked the time. According to the information Kanon provided, Xiao Xue went to bathe every evening at 6 p.m. This was the perfect opportunity to catch her.

He left his workstation early and waited at the entrance of the women's bathhouse.

Right on schedule, Xiao Xue arrived. Gu Yi quickly stepped forward and grabbed her.

"What are you doing?"

"Come with me."

Gu Yi blinked and used psychological suggestion on Xiao Xue.

Xiao Xue showed a strange expression but still inexplicably followed Gu Yi to the casino.

After sitting down, Xiao Xue suddenly snapped out of it and started making a fuss, refusing to stay.

"You kidnapper! Let me go, or I'll call the police."

"I'm doing this for your own good," Gu Yi said coldly. "Constantine is coming to your nightclub tonight. If you go, there's a high chance you'll die."

"Even if I die, it's none of your business!"

Gu Yi used psychological suggestion on Xiao Xue again, finally calming her down. But less than ten minutes later, she started acting up again.

"Let me out, ah——"

"Ah, enough of your screaming!"

Gu Yi struck the back of Xiao Xue's neck with his palm.

Xiao Xue rolled her eyes and passed out.

Er Gou stood silently behind the door. Even though he knew Gu Yi was doing all this for his sake, he still felt heartbroken.

"She'll be alright, won't she?"

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing," Gu Yi said, rubbing his palm. "She'll sleep until at least tomorrow morning."
