Chapter 010 External Situation
The official team in charge of Lin Xi's live broadcast room is a 45-year-old middle-aged woman named Cai Hua. She has a double degree in applied psychology and clinical psychology, and has many years of military experience. Their team also found all the people who had the remaining two chances for Lin Xi and invited them to the capital to be on standby.
Their team had the highest number of members and the highest configuration, because based on the current situation, Lin Xi had the best chance of surviving to the end. According to the intel from the livestream, everyone knew that each streamer had a unique talent. For example, one streamer from the United States had immortality, but it could only be triggered once per instance.
His first life was used up as soon as he entered the door. After he was resurrected and stood up, he became much more cautious, but he died again soon after and had no third life to revive.
Their team deduced that Lin Xi's talent might be related to Shen Sangning. Before Shen Sangning's appearance, officials conducted an investigation into Lin Xi and her surroundings. The results revealed that she and Shen Sangning were close friends, even renting a house together after graduation. However, during a livestream, Lin Xi revealed her own special relationship with Shen Sangning.
"Becoming a ghost because of an unfulfilled wish and returning to the one you love" sounds quite romantic, but given the rules of ghost stories, it seems a bit scary. But at the moment, Shen Sangning not only poses no threat to Lin Xi, but is also her best life-saving prop.
Cai Hua couldn't help but pinch her brows. The person next to her stopped and asked, "Should we take this opportunity to tell Lin Xi that she's wrong to think she's the older sister?"
Cai Hua thought about it and shook her head: "No, this information does not seem to have any negative impact on Lin Xi at the moment, so let's use it as an alternative plan first." The team currently has a list of as many as thirty-nine alternative plans, each of which is a summary of their work based on countless live broadcast rooms.
They also got the information about the chopped green onions from Lin Xi's live broadcast, because no one was as happy to eat and drink as Lin Xi. Most of the anchors chose to concentrate on eating the white rice in front of them.
A small number of people also choose not to eat at all. When their mothers call them to eat, they simply say they are sick and don't go out.
Lin Xi had been thinking based on the rules she'd learned, forgetting some of the off-field situations. Honestly, it's hard for people in the game to consider things outside the game; it's their perspective. Furthermore, Lin Xi's rules fit her situation so well that she'd forgotten other possibilities.
For example: Do all streamers receive the same rules, or are there changes based on streamer gender or age?
If Lin Xi could also see other live broadcast rooms, these questions would arise. In fact, although the gender, age and even race of the anchors are different, the rules they receive are exactly the same. This leads to a big problem. There are four people in this family, a couple and two children, a boy and a girl. The rules state: there are older sisters, younger brothers and younger sisters in the family. If the anchor is an adult male, even an adult male older than the father, what is his identity?
Many anchors died because of this problem.
This family does not give the anchors the space to create their own identities. It has already given the anchors an identity, that is - younger sister. This is definitely not what Lin Xi believes. Her identity is older sister.
Although Lin Xi couldn't tell the children's ages, with so many talented people on the team, it was easy to estimate their approximate ages based on height, weight, eating habits, and other factors. Although the exact age was uncertain, the girl was likely 9 or 10 years old, as teeth are almost completely replaced at this age. Her brother, on the other hand, was clearly still losing teeth, meaning he was only about 7 years old.
The two should be 2 years apart.
But in terms of height, they were about the same, most likely because the girl wasn't getting as much nutrition as she should have. Lin Xi was right about one thing: even though they were both ghosts, they still favored boys over girls. At dinner, the boy sat opposite his mother and next to him his father, and all the delicious food and drinks were directly given to his younger brother.
The girl next to her mother only eats what is in her bowl and what is in front of her. If she continues like this for a long time, it is normal that her nutrition is not as good as her brother's.
There are many signs that indicate that the role of "sister" in this family has a specific personality, for example, she does not eat chopped green onions and is rather spoiled.
Lin Xi was an accidental fit for her younger sister's character. However, during a meal, she also ate a vegetable and tofu soup sprinkled with chopped green onions, which aroused her mother's disgust. She thought that she violated her younger sister's character, so she wanted to deal with her directly.
Fortunately, thanks to Chen Sangning's presence, Lin Xi did not die on the spot.
Furthermore, in the livestreaming rooms, although the hosts' genders and ages vary, the ghosts they face are all identical: parents, siblings, and all have identical faces. Even when it comes to livestreaming rooms hosted by foreign hosts, they speak the local language fluently, but they still appear Asian in appearance.
Cai Hua, however, decided that this wasn't an emergency and didn't need to be told to Lin Xi. Even if she were to identify herself as the older sister, it wouldn't affect Lin Xi's ability to live a healthy and active life. Besides Lin Xi, the remaining fourteen anchors all understood their identities as "younger sisters," and could, to a certain extent, use "wishes" to make their families act in accordance with their wishes.
While Lin Xi and other anchors were trying to survive, the team members did not waste time, but worked hard to obtain intelligence from various live broadcast rooms. In addition to some general intelligence, some anchors in the live broadcast rooms encountered random events before their death. For example: a neighbor came knocking on the door, and after entering the room, there were six people. The neighbor killed the entire family of five, including the ghost and the anchor.
The problem was, the person who opened the door was the anchor.
Neighbors are dangerous, and you should never open the door even if they knock. This rule is also very important for anchors. But Lin Xi didn't encounter any neighbors coming to the door at the moment, and had no plans to open the door, so this rule was also included in the backup plan.
The team breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Lin Xi fall asleep, meaning she'd be safe for at least six to eight hours. When they saw Shen Sangning crawl into Lin Xi's bed, even though they all knew she wouldn't harm her, they were still incredibly worried. It's always better to be safe than sorry. Fortunately, Shen Sangning truly loved Lin Xi, even as a ghost.
It was Shen Sangning's parents who found it difficult to accept. After learning that Shen Sangning had become a ghost, the team went to visit her parents to learn about her life. Because Lin Xi was a close friend of Shen Sangning, they even visited Lin Xi's livestream. Adhering to the principle of loving someone, they also didn't want anything to happen to Lin Xi.
But as the live broadcast progressed, they discovered that not only did their daughter have a relationship with Lin Xi that went beyond ordinary friends, but she had even turned into a ghost... Most importantly, after turning into a ghost, she didn't come back to look for the couple, but instead went to look for her lover first.
Cai Hua actually felt that the couple cared most about the last point. The other two and being able to see their daughter again became unimportant. As long as their daughter was still alive, even if she turned into a ghost, they would be happy. However, watching the daughter's condition in the live broadcast, there was something wrong.
Not only Lin Xi noticed that something was wrong with Chen Sangning's condition, but her parents noticed it too. When Cai Hua's team came, they told Cai Hua everything about their daughter. Her mother even took Cai Hua's hand and asked, "Can our daughter, Ningning, come back to us?"
Cai Hua didn't know what to say. As a psychology major, she could certainly comfort Shen Sang Ning's parents and knew what they wanted to hear the most. But at this moment, she could only answer: "I don't know either, but if Lin Xi can come out, she can probably do it too."
While official personnel were rushing around, the public used various methods to open small windows on their mobile phones, and started chatting with their friends on Weibo and in groups. Even the hot search on Weibo became #规则怪谈直播室#. The public originally thought that this hot search would be cancelled, but the official tacitly allowed everyone to discuss in this hot search, and even dropped an official account to remind ordinary people how to get through if a ghost story really came, and at least ensure that they would not die on the first day.
Seeing this, the masses fell into panic. Some people still didn't want to believe it was true, but the current situation has shown that the live broadcast room of the rules of strange talk is most likely true. It's like this in China, and it's even more outrageous in foreign countries where freedom of speech is allowed. Some people even took to the streets and started
The hot zero-yuan purchase event.
There are many foreign videos that have been circulated in China and then deleted.
But no matter how panicked people were, the next day still came. Most people chose to take leave on this day. Some companies directly gave their employees a day off. Anyway, it was impossible to do anything in the company now, and some software could not work with small windows opened. It would be better to just do a favor and let everyone rest at home together.
Of course, some bosses deserve to be hung by the light. In such a situation, not only do they not give employees holidays, they don’t even approve holidays and force their employees to go to work in the company.
Time flew by while she scrolled through her social media accounts and watched the streamers sleep in the darkness of the livestream room. In a flash, over eight hours passed, and in the real world, it was already past one in the afternoon. Lin Xi also heard the rustling sounds on the bunk above her. She drowsily opened her eyes, holding the soft body of Shen Sang Ning in her arms. Aside from the slight chill, the feeling was just as it had been when she was alive.
The younger sister climbed down from the upper bunk, and when she stepped on the steps, she saw Lin Xi was still half asleep and half awake. She also saw Lin Xi hugging Shen Sang Ning. The moment he saw his younger sister, Lin Xi woke up and immediately pushed his wife away.
