Chapter 035 All Killed
All I can say is that empiricism is deadly.
When Lin Xi heard what had happened from Cai Hua, she could only agree. The seemingly contradictory rules were actually true, and they existed in parallel.
There are both flight attendants wearing blue clothes and flight attendants wearing red clothes. The former are responsible for ticket checking and passage security, while the latter are responsible for cleaning and passenger services.
When the red-clad flight attendants knocked on the door, most of the anchors assumed they were fake and chose not to open the door. This angered the flight attendants, who then smashed the door open and rushed in, devouring the anchors.
The other anchors who survived by chance received a reminder. The little girl that Lin Xi saw at the beginning also survived here. But many of them forgot the cleaning time. The cleaning time was written in the rules of the box, but it was not within the cleaning time now.
They should have asked the flight attendant to leave with the excuse, "It's not time to clean yet, please come back next time." After the flight attendant cleaned for them, the flight attendant began to mutter, asking why they had to clean when it was clearly not their working hours. After repeating this several times, she went crazy and eventually killed the passenger.
Unfortunately, the little girl died at this stage.
At this point, there were not many anchors left, but what really sent everyone into hell was at 4 o'clock. The train slowly stopped and arrived at the platform, and the second passenger arrived in their compartment.
The passenger and the anchors were sitting face to face. Before the anchors could analyze the passenger's rules, the passenger would get angry first and say, "You've been staring at me for too long! How rude!" or "Your foot has crossed the line and is here!" Using such excuses, the anchor would be killed.
Only the passengers who huddled together and hid in the corner pretending to sleep escaped the disaster.
The problem was, after only four shifts, only three of the 100 streamers were dead, and no one knew when they would die. Cai Hua was worried that the moment all the streamers were killed, the rules would start to implode, so she called Lin Xi over and asked her to memorize the current precautions compiled by each team.
Even in such an urgent situation, there are still people joking in the live broadcast room...
[The streamer died so quickly this time, is there going to be some weird talk about the rules?]
[Hahaha, I guess not all the streamers will die. Didn't the streamers die quickly in the last dungeon, but Lin Xi managed to get through the next few days smoothly?]
[Don't worry, how could they really all die? If they all died, wouldn't the rule ghost story come? That would be hilarious, right?]
[Please, is there anyone who still believes this is true? This is so funny, how can there be a weird story about rules?]
Afterwards, things did indeed stabilize. Nothing happened to the three anchors, and time passed by minute by minute. But Lin Xi noticed something was wrong. She had seen the rules before. The food truck was open from 6:30 to 8:30 in the morning, and 6:30 was coming soon.
Lin Xi didn't think the Rule Strange Talk would mess with the food, otherwise they would have used this tactic against them in the previous instance. But the problem was that the time was so concentrated, which meant that the passengers on the train would also go to the restaurant during this time.
There was a high probability that these ghosts had different rules, and it was very likely that they would die if they collided with each other. They could also choose not to eat and just starve. This train ride was only a little over two days, and while not eating for two days would be unbearable, it was still bearable.
But Lin Xi always felt that the sooner he understood the restaurant's rules, the better. They hadn't been to the toilet yet, and didn't know the rules. What would happen in the next few days?
Is it really possible not to even go to the toilet?
Time ticked by, and soon it was half past six. The passengers on the other side of the train stood up and prepared to head to the dining car. The red-clad attendant came again, asking if there was anything available. The sky outside the window also brightened, bringing a sigh of relief to many.
The three hosts said as before that there was no need to clean yet and asked the waiter to leave, but the waiter smiled and said, "Please abide by the rules of the train, keep the carriage clean and tidy, and please save water and electricity." This rule also appeared in the rules of the carriage. The three hosts nodded to show that they understood.
The three of them were extremely nervous, just waiting for the waiter to leave, but the waiter refused to leave, which made them a little panicked. Lin Xi looked at the scene in front of him, and his eyes suddenly widened a little: "It's the light! Turn off the light!" In compartments like this, there are actually small lights that passengers can adjust themselves.
Now that it was light outside, it was time to stop using the lights. When the anchors came up, the lights were already on, and they naturally thought it was controlled by the control room, but in fact, they turned them on and off themselves.
The moment Cai Hua heard Lin Xi's voice, she wanted to alert the team, but it was too late. The waiter, who had been waiting for a long time but received no response, attacked the three anchors. The next moment, the three live broadcast rooms fell into a black screen. The audience was forcibly kicked out of the live broadcast room and returned to the homepage. There was only one live broadcast room on the homepage. When everyone clicked on it, they saw a sentence on the black screen:
【Welcome to the live broadcast room of Rules Strange Talk】
Many comments were floating across the screen, some expressing worry, some expressing fear, some joking, and so on. The dense barrage of comments made it difficult for Lin Xi to see the live broadcast room clearly, so she simply turned off the comments. The words on the screen changed:
[All streamers have died. The Snowpiercer dungeon will be released into the real world. The lucky viewers will be selected now.]
Lin Xi's heart skipped a beat. After this sentence appeared, a line of white text appeared at the top of the black screen: "The list is as follows." Then, a row of ranking words appeared on the screen. In white text on a black background, there were names of people from various countries. Lin Xi's eyes suddenly widened.
After the names filled the screen, they began to scroll.
Cai Hua shouted, "Count the number of people!"
There were ten names in a row, and ten rows on a side, meaning there were a hundred names on that side. The screen scrolled for a long time, stopping after five minutes. Someone on the team shouted, "Ten thousand people! Ten thousand names! There are probably over six hundred Chinese names!"
Cai Hua gritted his teeth, and then heard another scream. Cai Hua turned around and saw a panicked man. He also realized that what he was doing was wrong, but he no longer had the mind to pay attention to his boss's expression. He could only anxiously say: "One of them is my mother's name!"
Cai Hua clenched and unclenched her hands, then asked the man to call her mother. There were too many people with the same name in China. Even the most uncommon names would inevitably appear in a large population, and the person named above might not be the staff member's mother.
Inside the base, everything was kept completely secret, but Cai Hua still let the man make the call. One reason was that if the person's name was really his mother, it would be too cruel for her to force him to not contact her. Another reason was that if it was really her mother, she would be the first to know about the situation.
The staff member directly dialed a video call, and a window popped up on the live broadcast app. The mother's figure quickly appeared on the other side. It was 6:42 in the morning, and the old lady was already up. She was a little confused and asked the man what was going on and whether he was at work.
The staff breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that the mother was safe and sound.
He wanted to deal with his mother before hanging up. While the man was on the phone, Lin Xi kept an eye on the live broadcast room. A message popped up on the screen: "The above-mentioned people accept this rule of strange talk. Next time, the number of people will be multiplied by ten."
The time was frozen at 6:44, which was the favorite number of the Rule Weird World. The next moment, the staff panicked, and the mother opposite disappeared, and the phone fell to the ground.
The screenshots of the livestream with white text on a black background became a death warrant. Soon, everyone realized that the people mentioned on the list had really disappeared. Even the people who had originally made the memes fell silent. Three days later, everyone discovered that none of these people had returned.
Lin Xi noticed the atmosphere at the base had been a bit tense the past few days, so Cai Hua patted her shoulder and urged her to relax. Because the next person heading to the "Rules of Weird Stories" was Lin Xi. "Rules of Weird Stories" favored numbers like four and seven, and seven days after the last livestream, Lin Xi once again visited the "Rules of Weird Stories" world.
She actually had a premonition that it would arrive on the seventh day, but when the familiar feeling of coma appeared, she couldn't help but feel relieved and excited. She shouldn't have this feeling. She was a human being and should be afraid of these things.
Lin Xi should be afraid of death and also afraid of this world full of strange stories, but in her heart, there is only the excitement of meeting Shen Sangning again.
When she opened her eyes, she was back in the familiar dark world, with a familiar screen floating before her. But Lin Xi ignored it and called out to Shen Sang Ning. The hand that emerged from her chest was Shen Sang Ning.
Lin Xi breathed a sigh of relief. Nothing could make her happier than knowing that Shen Sangning was still by her side. A soft smile appeared on Lin Xi's face. She couldn't help but raise her hand and hold Shen Sangning's.
In fact, this picture is more or less a bit restrained, but it doesn’t matter.
Lin Xi looked up at the screen in front of him. It had only one message: "Welcome back to the Weird Talk Live Room. Congratulations on successfully entering your second round of dungeons. In the Weird Talk Live Room, you will be the host, giving your audience..." The rest of the message was exactly the same as the first time, along with the following rules. Finally, it wished him a happy experience.
The other streamers should be choosing their talents at this time. Since Lin Xi was a regular customer, he didn't have to choose a talent, so he waited for a while. After a while, Lin Xi left the dark world and found himself in a familiar room.
Isn't this the living room she had remodeled in the first instance of "Sweet Home"? Lin Xi was a little confused, but she wasn't in a hurry to figure it out. The most important thing, of course, was to spend some time with her wife! She hadn't seen her wife in two weeks!
