Apocalypse降临 + Live Broadcast + National Destiny + Rule Tales怪谈 + Parallel Worlds
Eerie creatures descend upon Earth, rules become humanity's final showdown against the unspeakabl...
To be fair, Yin Zhu's side of the dungeon has been completely messed up, and the unique star system within the dungeon has been completely altered.
The chosen ones are not in the same place, which means they are fighting their own battles.
After a brief discussion, the think tank unanimously approved Yin Zhu's request and began to investigate the subsequent impact of Hirano Shan's talent as the chosen one of the Sakura Kingdom.
Soon, Yin Zhu received the message before going to sleep.
Hirano San's talent for influencing people's minds was acquired upon completing the third dungeon, "Wolf Pack," and began to be used in the fourth dungeon, "Green House," suggesting it was a reward for leveling up her talent.
[As you progress through the game and level up, this skill will have a lasting effect on people's minds after use. If the person using it doesn't notice anything unusual, this effect will last even longer.]
Just as I expected.
While eating her late-night snack, Yin Zhu browsed the news about the think tank.
If Yin Zhu wasn't mistaken, the current Naza is probably a manifestation of Hirano San's lingering pink talent. Perhaps Hirano San amplified Naza's hostility towards high-ranking citizens, leading to her gradually becoming extreme.
It might be difficult for others to gain the favor of strangers, but for Hirano San, it was incredibly easy.
Hirano Sane's mind-reading ability is an area-of-effect skill; she can hear other people's thoughts without physical contact. Therefore, she certainly couldn't hide the fact that Nazar had awakened his Dharma form.
With just a slight hint from her, the pursued Nazar could easily escape in the direction of her and the prince.
However, it was clear that Nazar alone was not enough to make things unfold exactly as expected, so there was another "person" who had behaved unusually in this matter.
It is Eve, the city's will.
Given Eve's analytical abilities, it's impossible that she couldn't see how much the prince valued them. Yet, she still contacted those "gods" infected with the cybervirus, intending to wipe them out in one fell swoop. This ultimately led to Hirano San being captured and Nazar's remorseful and extreme reaction.
Eve has a personality, so it's highly likely that she could also be influenced by Hirano San's abilities.
For a long time, everyone has only seen the natives become Hirano San's friends because of her friendliness, so a certain mindset has been formed that Hirano San's pink talent is just a skill that makes others feel good by being cute and pink.
But from another perspective, if it's so easy to make others like her, then it's not so difficult to make others dislike her either.
Hirano deliberately influenced the prince's judgment in front of Eve, providing Eve with a trigger to get angry, and then used her talent to intensify Eve's anger towards the lower-class citizens. In this way, even a rational artificial intelligence would feel that its behavior was not too problematic.
Creating something from nothing is difficult, but stirring up trouble is not.
In addition, the think tank provided information on the current situation of Chosen Ones in other countries, but it was not very relevant.
After all, everyone's world situation is different.
Blindly applying these methods would be too metaphysical; ignoring the ever-changing reality of things would only lead to the opposite result.
Yin Zhu is quite grateful to the think tank for this.
During the dungeon runs, they won't interfere from behind the screen; they'll only provide her with the necessary information and leave the judgment entirely to her. This is perfect for Yin Zhu, who also wants to find clues about the think tank.
Experiencing the eerie world firsthand provides an amount of information that the audience in a live stream can only obtain from sight and sound, far exceeding what viewers in a live stream can gain.
Smelling the aroma of the food in front of him, Yin Zhushen agreed.
With the final doubts resolved by the think tank, Yin Zhu could finally go to sleep peacefully.
As she stretched and walked towards her room, she was surprised to find that two people were still awake.
"Now those monsters are all banding together at the Altar of the Gods. If only we could find a way to wipe them all out in one fell swoop."
The worm has no liking for the advanced citizens.
There is no such thing for those who are infected.
Nazar nodded. Compared to the prince, who was more conservative and conflicted about "dynastic change," the worm, who also harbored a strong hatred for "gods," was undoubtedly more like-minded: "That's right. Are the people you contacted ready to take action?"
"No problem. Although we need to avoid areas where infected people congregate on the way here, which will take some time, we should be in place by tomorrow afternoon at the latest," the worm replied.
Yin Zhu had already realized that she wasn't part of the two people's plan.
Despite her young age, Nazar already possesses a commanding presence that makes her capable and independent; no wonder the Unspeakable One gave her that name.
Although they are of different genders, they still share some similarities in spirit.
"You're still not asleep?" The worm couldn't help but ask, noticing that Yin Zhu seemed preoccupied.
"Yes, tomorrow is the decisive battle, so I'm worried and can't sleep. Also, I'm feeling a bit sentimental, like I'm no longer needed." Yin Zhu said meaningfully.
To be honest, this was the first time Yin Zhu had encountered a situation where the Chosen One was completely AFK in the dungeon progression, relying entirely on the native teammates to relentlessly advance the story. In the previous two dungeons, even with some help from the native teammates, Yin Zhu was still the main character.
This time it seems like it's completely switched sides.
"It's alright, you've already helped us a lot. Now you just need to keep an eye on things."
Unexpectedly, Nazar winked at Yin Zhu, her lively expression reminding one that she is actually still a young girl.
Although it is a limited edition.
The next second, Nazar regained his decisive and calm demeanor and began discussing other details with the worm.
"You two should go to bed early too, so you won't be tired tomorrow. Especially Nazar, you're the key player. After all, only gods can fight gods, and everyone is relying on you."
Yin Zhu gave her instructions with concern.
Although the think tank mentioned another instance world where a black talent holder single-handedly killed countless gods with a mortal body.
However, that's a black talent that's enhanced with skills, which Yin Zhu can't do.
She's in an intermediate stage where she can hold her own against random people, but is completely outmatched by professionals. None of the other chosen ones in her group are particularly strong either.
Jennifer, the only one with a red talent... throwing stones? This time, she probably won't be able to take down the boss directly.
Hope still rests on Nazar.
Perhaps swayed by Yin Zhu's words, or perhaps he was genuinely tired, Nazar nodded: "Actually, we're almost done preparing. Let's leave it at that for now and end this farce tomorrow."
Since Yin Zhu and Nazha's rooms were next to each other, the two chatted as they walked.
"Oh, right."
Naza suddenly asked, "Speaking of which, what happened to him after he was reborn, the story you told me last time? Was he really reborn from lotus roots? It sounds a lot like the human modification stuff in the inner city..."
Yin Zhu: "..."
If there really is a God in your world, don't ask such scientific questions!
