Chapter 219: Let’s Play Like This

Lin Xi actually didn't understand what his Ghost King buff was. In the previous copy of the library, Xia Cui chose to stay away from him the moment she learned about the new rules. This was consistent with the book of rules that said to stay away as soon as possible.

But the other ghosts didn't seem that scared of him. The driver ghost looked at him differently, but he didn't run away from him either. When he met Sun Ke and Lin Lin earlier, it was no different.

When he was doing the live broadcast, the ghosts did not show any fear or desire to escape when looking at him through the camera. Instead, the special effects makeup artist ghost showed an abnormal desire to escape after coming into contact with him.

This buff was sometimes good and sometimes bad, which made Lin Xi feel a little confused.

But then she realized the reason, which was related to the word "contact".

Xia Cui did not have direct physical contact with him, but she was already clearly aware of the fact that she was "Lin Xi" and the "Ghost King", and she also knew that she was no match for him at that time, so when the main rule was triggered, she ran faster than a rabbit.

Sun Kege and Lin Lin had had long-term contact and physical contact with me, so they should have fully understood the Ghost King's rule. But the main rule's restriction was not particularly strong, just like everyone knew they had to pretend to be someone but they didn't really take it seriously, so even if the main rule was triggered, nothing would happen.

The problem is, people still cheat in everyday situations, which is what's weird about the main rule: it's not very important, but it's generally done seriously.

The same conditions must apply to the main rule that Lin Xi is the ghost king. When the strange ghosts first come into contact with Lin Xi, they will definitely want to escape as soon as they determine that Lin Xi is unusual and is the ghost king. This is set by the main rule for them.

With this, Lin Xi can directly use control skills on the lizard ghost in front of him, forcing the opponent to leave the field early.

The tongue is probably the easiest and most difficult part of the body to touch. It is easy to touch because the opponent will definitely use the tongue to attack you, and it is difficult to touch because it is very likely to leave you half dead when it hits you.

Now Lin Xi took the initiative to create the conditions for touching the tongue, but Lin Xi didn't want to touch it. Let's not talk about whether it was disgusting or not. What if its tongue was poisonous enough to kill people if touched? Wouldn't Lin Xi be doomed? Lin Xi didn't dare to bet whether it was poisonous or not. This guy looked so much like a lizard, and some lizards were really poisonous. That's why Lin Xi spent more effort and chose to pull the lizard ghost down first.

Now that the lizard ghost had fallen, Lin Xi rushed over and grabbed its... uh, relatively clean ankle. She initially tried to touch its hair, but that was sticky and sticky too. If that was also poisonous, then all her previous efforts would be in vain. After much deliberation, she decided the ankle was cleaner and less sticky, so she decided to grab it there!

The moment Lin Xi took action, the lizard ghost suddenly became enlightened. It seemed to have fully understood the meaning of "The individual named Lin Xi is the Ghost King" and "Please move away quickly". It was like a cat with its fur standing on end, and even the sticky hair on its body seemed to have exploded.

In the next second, the lizard ghost disappeared, so far away that not even its shadow could be seen.

But... it left its feet behind.

Lin Xi looked at the severed leg in his hand and fell silent. While scaring off the lizard ghost was a good thing, there was no need for that creature to leave any leg behind, right? That would make him seem particularly cruel!

After looking at the severed leg in his hand for a while, Lin Xi discovered that the severed leg really looked like a prop in a haunted house. It was grayish blue in color and felt icy cold in his hand. It didn't look like something that had just fallen off. Instead, it looked like something made of plastic smeared with cement.

The lizard ghosts were gone, but that didn't mean Lin Xi was safe. The rustling sounds were still in the distance, but it reminded him that as long as there were sounds in the machine room, there would be a steady stream of lizard ghosts coming. And if the one that had just escaped woke up from the main rules, it would be furious and come looking for him, trying to kill him.

The most important thing is that if someone leaves the computer room, a computer must be turned off, otherwise she will trigger the rules.

Lin Xi took a deep breath and walked over to the nearest computer case she had opened. During the time she had been dealing with the lizard ghost, the computer had already been turned on, and the display had immediately lit up. Lin Xi now had to grab the mouse and press the shutdown button.

But when her hand was about to touch the mouse, Lin Xi thought: I'd better not touch the mouse.

Because the computer screen was clean and had no text, no rules written on it, but how could the computer not have a code of conduct? If it wasn't displayed on the computer screen, there was only one possibility: the relevant text sent to the students in advance must have already stated it.

Lin Xi is not a student, so naturally he has never seen the corresponding file.

But even a guess with your toes would tell you that using a computer must be extremely troublesome, and one could easily trigger the rules. Lin Xi thought for a moment, and instead of fiddling around with things and accidentally triggering the rules, it would be better to do less, so that fewer rules would be triggered.

Lin Xi didn't think she could successfully shut down the computer without triggering any rules, but rather than taking multiple measures, she decided to do it in one fell swoop. After thinking for a moment, she pressed the power button. She knew that if she held the button down, the computer would shut down immediately.

But after pressing the buttons for a long time, the main unit remained on. Confused, she looked up at the display. It would have been fine if she hadn't looked, but once she did, she nearly broke out in a cold sweat. The display had originally displayed a classic backdrop of green grass and blue sky, but the moment she looked up, she saw a black dot appear at the intersection of the grass and sky.

Lin Xi thought she was seeing things, so she blinked. The moment she blinked, the black dot grew a little bigger. A few seconds later, the black dot got closer, and she could vaguely make out the silhouette of a person.

I see. The ghost is about to crawl out of the screen.

Lin Xi's mouth twitched, and she said that there must be something wrong with the computer screen. After thinking for a moment, Lin Xi came up with a solution: In this case, just unplug the power cord.

She did what she thought, bending down and crawling under the table, trying to tilt the main computer case towards her and quickly unplugging the power cord. After doing all this, she carefully crawled out from under the table. Fortunately, the display also showed that the computer was turned off, which made Lin Xi breathe a sigh of relief.

For safety reasons, Lin Xi stayed in the computer room for a while, waiting in a daze. After making sure that nothing had happened, she walked towards the main body of the game. She walked past the computers and came to the podium, where she saw the computer in front of her running.

When viewed from the front, the game Kaidan itself looks more like a book of "Rules". The display and half of the console still look like an ordinary computer, but the other half has become fragmented light spots and characters, which does not look like something that can appear in reality.

Some energy fragments flew out and disappeared in mid-air. Lin Xi guessed that this was the energy connecting those live broadcast rooms of the Rules and Ghost Stories.

Lin Xi glanced and saw that the computer screen was cut into a hundred small screens, with one live broadcast room after another on them. However, many of the live broadcast rooms had black screens, and a rough look showed that only about twenty of them were lit.

She saw He Sitong, Alan Jones, and also saw "herself" and Shen Sangning. However, that "herself" was fake, created by a special effects makeup artist.

Chen Sangning sat next to her, just like she was sitting next to herself, but unlike her who wanted to get close to her from time to time, Chen Sangning sat very honestly. The smile on her face looked nice, but Lin Xi could see that she was being "dignified" from the bottom of her heart.

To put it simply, it is a special smile to deal with the situation.

At the bottom of the screen, in the taskbar, besides the currently displayed surveillance footage, there were several boxes. Lin Xi guessed that these must be the game settings interface. Just as Lin Xi was about to click the mouse, he saw the center of the top of the screen suddenly flicker.

At this moment, the small screens that originally showed the anchors all turned into myself sitting in front of the computer.

Lin Xi almost laughed out loud because he saw the flickering object in the center of the screen suddenly appear. It was his acquaintance—Big Eyeball. Strictly speaking, this thing should be Big Eyeball's real body.

In other words, all viewers can now see that they are not in the live broadcast room, but they don’t know where they have gone.

"Okay, okay, let's play it this way, eh?" Lin Xi decided to go all out and went straight to touch the mouse, but as soon as her fingers touched the cold mouse, she was sucked into the screen.

This feeling was familiar, exactly like the feeling of being sucked into the books in the library. Did these guys secretly agree to use this trick on her?

Lin Xi felt dizzy for a while, and when she recovered, she found herself standing on the green grass under the blue sky and white clouds. Lin Xi was stunned. How could this computer be so good at playing games? She also found that she had thought wrongly. Maybe the computer was not the so-called "Game Ghost Story".

"Entity, but the "Computer Tales" entity.

It is a computer in itself, but reporter Ye used it to make games.

It makes sense if you think about it. Computers weren't invented just for playing games. Just as Lin Xi was about to find a way to move forward, she heard a voice:

“I want to be popular.”

Lin Xi paused because it was He Sitong's voice. He Sitong's tone was down, and it was obvious that she was not in a good mood when she said this: "I want to be popular, I want others to like me, I want others to see me."

Lin Xi wasn't going to be held back by such tricks. She took a step forward, and heard Alan Jones's voice again: "These damned bosses only know how to issue unreasonable tasks all day long. This one, this one, shouldn't exist."

She walked forward again, and it was Du Kang's voice from the previous school copy: "I can go faster. I want to go faster, faster."

Then came the many anchors she had met.

Their voices perfectly match the talents given to them by the rule-based weird game.
