Chapter 086 I’m here to give you extra homework
What Cai Hua discovered was actually very simple, but most people overlooked one point, which is that the level of the ghost's teasing of the anchor gradually increased, not because it wanted to bully the anchor more, or because the time was up and the anchor had to be taken offline as soon as possible, so it increased the level of teasing.
The undertaker didn't grow larger simply by eating so many customers. If eating customers alone was enough, he'd have used various other methods to eat ghosts to become stronger. He was a starving ghost with very loose rules, and as the owner of a funeral home, it wasn't difficult for him to devour customers and their families.
In other words, whether the funeral home owner becomes bigger and stronger has nothing to do with him eating his customers.
So, what does this have to do with anything?
Cai Hua's eyes gleamed. She found the previously recorded content on her desk and opened it directly. It was densely packed with key information she had recorded. The funeral home owner would appear a little bigger every time, which seemed to be related to time. The same was true for those ghost tricks on other anchors. They were almost all related to time.
But Caihua didn't think this was the reason, but there was a deeper reason.
It’s not about time, it’s about live streaming.
She had long wondered why the "Rules and Stories Live Streaming App" had to make such a big splash, broadcasting its content on every screen in the world. Now she understood—it was necessary. Because only by letting humans see them, knowing about them, could they gain a greater sense of presence, and perhaps even more fear? In short, perhaps this was the only way they could become stronger.
Cai Hua had previously analyzed that, in most cases, these ghosts' thinking is fundamentally no different from that of humans, and they wouldn't do anything completely illogical. The mystery behind the elaborate livestream for the entire world to see has now been solved. They aren't showing the host's death; rather, they need humans to fear them, so they can grow stronger.
In this way, barrage, talents and even SC all make sense.
They want the streamer to die, so they can descend upon it and gain more fear, but they don't want the streamer to die too quickly, so they created things like SC to warn the streamer so that they don't all die at the beginning. This is probably the reason why talents exist.
For example, the second dungeon "Snowpiercer" was a failure case, so they intentionally increased the time and reduced the difficulty of the subsequent dungeons.
As for the barrage, it's easier to understand. Humans are social animals. When someone says "fear" in the barrage, even if you don't have that emotion, because so many people say these two words, you can't help but feel the same way.
Ghost stories are indeed good at playing with people's hearts.
Cai Hua's first thought was to report it, at least to reduce the amount of time people spent watching the "Rules and Strange Talk" livestream, and to urge everyone to stop watching. But Cai Hua quickly rejected this idea. She knew that even if she reported it, it wouldn't really stop everyone from watching the livestream. No one could shoulder that responsibility. If people stopped watching the livestream, would the "Rules and Strange Talk" world use other methods to interfere with the real world?
For example - let the rule weirdness come directly.
Although the current consensus is that the arrival of rule-based weird stories must have corresponding rules, otherwise they would have invaded the real world long ago, but one should always be prepared for the worst. What if the rule-based weird story world really has some way to cause mutual destruction?
Even though he knew the above options, Cai Hua still reported the matter and prepared to synchronize this information with Lin Xi.
Lin Xi is currently the most important of all the streamers, not only because she's the strongest, but also because her stream has the most viewers. In other words, if she were to encounter a ghost who's been with her for a long time and is gradually becoming stronger, it would be a devastating blow to humanity.
Cai Hua's heart skipped a beat, and she suppressed her fear and panic: Isn't there already a ghost like this? Chen Sang Ning has always been by Lin Xi's side.
No, it's different. Shen Sangning is completely controllable. As long as Lin Xi remains on the side of humanity, Shen Sangning will never become an enemy of humanity. Cai Hua swallowed and clasped her trembling hands. She had to gather her strength and edit the message for Lin Xi without causing public concern.
She first reported her suspicions about the relationship between the ghost and the livestream, but Cai Hua, for some reason, concealed the subsequent information about Chen Sangning. She had said that she and Lin Xi needed to trust each other. She was Lin Xi's supervisor, and they had already experienced a trust crisis before. If this one wasn't handled properly, there would be serious problems.
Cai Hua knew that she had to discuss it with Lin Xi first, and then choose to report it after the discussion.
Waiting for the reply was a bit agonizing. Along with the report, I also typed a message to Lin Xi. After the reply came, Cai Hua breathed a sigh of relief and immediately arranged to send a message to Lin Xi.
At this moment, Lin Xi was cooking dinner at home. She was humming a little tune while weighing the pot, preparing to make pickled fish for her wife, when she received a message from Cai Hua:
[Beware of Lin Lin, her purpose may be to absorb fear and become stronger. This method is common among ghosts, so don't show any fear.]
It was pretty good. He just missed the 30-character limit and sent me a message. The content was simple and clear, making it clear to everyone. Don't show fear, because those ghosts absorb fear. Lin Xi raised an eyebrow. She didn't know how Cai Hua came to this conclusion, but Cai Hua wouldn't deceive herself about such a thing, so it was probably true.
So far, Lin Lin has not shown any intention to scare her, but she might suddenly give her a performance. Lin Xi understood the key point and continued to make pickled fish for Shen Sang Ning. The two of them were still very happy.
People who like to eat sour and spicy food don’t like fish bones, but black fish is the best for cooking pickled fish.
Black fish is chewy, tender, and has little fat. It is simply the best fish for hot pot and pickled fish.
The only problem is that there are a lot of thorns.
Lin Xi and Shen Sang Ning are both people who are afraid of picking bones, and there is no such thing as them picking bones out for each other. Besides, the fish fillets are so small, and asking each other to pick bones out is tantamount to picking bones.
Now Shen Sangning no longer has this worry. At the dinner table, Lin Xi saw Shen Sangning eating fish without spitting out the bones. Shen Sangning still likes to eat pickled fish as always, but there is no longer the same scene as Lin Xi. After eating one or two pieces of meat, Lin Xi has to stop for a while and spit out the fish bones in his mouth. Shen Sangning is completely different. He swallows the fish meat with the fish bones.
To be honest, Lin Xi was a little curious at this moment. The ghost's digestive system was so strong, and they didn't need to excrete. Where did the food they ate go?
Although this question was not suitable to be raised at the dinner table, Lin Xi still asked Shen Sangning this question. Shen Sangning tilted her head and was silent for a while, then said: "I ate it all!"
Lin Xi held the chopsticks in her hand, with a little rice on them. She put the rice into her mouth, chewed it, and swallowed it before continuing to ask, "So, where does it go after you eat it?"
Shen Sang Ning was a little distressed, and seemed to not know what to say. She pondered for a long time. When she saw Lin Xi picked up a few more pieces of fish while she was thinking, she widened her eyes: "Lin Xi, bad!" Lin Xi had a hunch that this sentence might become Shen Sang Ning's catchphrase, so she began to correct: "It's not Lin Xi who is bad, it's Ning Ning who is stupid."
Shen Sangning's eyes widened, filled with disbelief: "Ningning is not stupid! Ningning is the smartest!"
Lin Xi's mouth curled up, and she ate another piece of fish meat, then spat out the fish bones: "Ning Ning is not stupid, where did the fish meat and bones go?"
“It’s all gone…”
Shen Sangning was stumped by Lin Xi's question. In order to prove that she was not stupid, she even put down her chopsticks and gestured while describing to Lin Xi: "That's it, go in, and then gurgle, gurgle, it disappears."
This kind of Shen Sang Ning is quite cute. After her difficult explanation, Lin Xi vaguely understood that it was probably transformed into energy and then disappeared. It can be seen that ghosts can't actually get much energy from food, otherwise Shen Sang Ning would not be "gurgling", but "gurgling gurgling gurgling".
"Okay, okay, I get it. Ningning, go eat."
"Um!"
After dinner, Lin Xi asked Lin Lin to go back to her room to do her homework. She and Shen Sang Ning watched TV for a while, then started asking the "home" for things: "Add a photocopier to Ning Ning's study, and prepare ink and paper. Then, make sure to copy all the exercise books you brought back today. You don't need to copy the answers."
The picture on the TV went dark and then turned into “…”.
Lin Xi glared at the TV: "What are you standing there for? Why don't you go do something?"
【……good. 】
Sometimes, the family really regrets why they agreed to the committee and welcomed Lin Xi, a living person. If there was no Lin Xi, all the members of its original small family would not have been in Chen Sang Ning's stomach, and it would not be hungry all day, although it is true that it has eaten very well in the past two days... Of course, if it had not agreed to the committee, it would not be a full-time nanny now.
When the "buzzing" sound of copying came from Chen Sangning's study, Lin Xi sighed sincerely in his heart that home was really useful.
The two of them watched TV for a while. Lin Xi had planned to go to the study room after she finished copying, but the TV show happened to be at an exciting part, so Lin Xi watched it for a while. When the ending song played, she pulled Shen Sang Ning up and left.
Shen Sangning glanced at the screen reluctantly. The two actors performing the commercial on TV were sweating profusely. Fortunately, the TV in Lin Xi's house was turned off shortly afterwards.
Lin Xi entered the study room first. As a full-time nanny, she packed up everything very consciously. On Shen Sang Ning's desk, exercise books and photocopied papers were placed next to it. Lin Xi picked up two stacks of things and pulled Shen Sang Ning to knock on Lin Lin's door. She said, "I'm coming in." and pushed the door open.
Lin Lin sat on the chair and turned to look at Lin Xi. Lin Xi looked at her desk and saw that she was indeed doing her homework obediently.
Lin Xi smiled and raised the copy paper in her hand: "I'm here to give you some extra homework!"
Lin Lin widened her eyes.
