[There are always some places in this world that cannot be seen in the light, and thus, they were born. ]
…
Blue Star.
Four o'clock in the afternoon on January 1, 3011 in the Blue Star Calendar.
A virtual blue screen appeared above the cities of every country on Blue Star, displaying a line of blood-red words.
[The Rule Ghost Talk Challenge is about to begin, countdown 5 minutes!
300 seconds, 299 seconds...】
The countdown that appeared in the sky cast a shadow over the hearts of the entire Blue Star population, with uneasiness and fear lingering in everyone's heart.
Three years ago, the Rule of Weird Stories came to Blue Star and started the National Destiny Game. Every month, selected players are randomly drawn from some countries to go to the Weird Stories World to complete the game.
If the game is successfully completed, the selected player will be rewarded, his country's fortune will increase, he will receive resource rewards, and will be exempted from the strange story of this rule.
If the clearance fails, the chosen one will die, the fortune of the country to which he belongs will decline, and strange stories will randomly descend upon a certain city.
…
Xia Country, Ghost Story Analysis Bureau.
In the hall, dozens of people sat around a square table. They were top talents in psychology, analysis and other fields gathered by the country after the advent of the Rule Strange Talk.
At this moment, all these people were discussing with frowns on their faces, and Director Xia Weiguo was so anxious that he kept pacing back and forth.
Xia Kingdom has lost four games in a row, plus two defeats in the first year, and six provinces and cities have been invaded by ghost stories.
The consequence of the decline in national fortunes caused by losing four games in a row this time is that natural disasters continue to occur in various places. Earthquakes are frequent in some areas, and a city in the coastal area was directly submerged by a tsunami, and in the end no one survived.
But strangely, these natural disasters occurred without any warning, which made it impossible to evacuate people in advance.
Although the Xia Kingdom is vast and has a large population, it cannot withstand such an incident every month.
The four consecutive defeats in the Ghost Story Challenge also caused Xia Country's international status to decline. Some small countries even dared to provoke Xia Country and jumped up and down in front of Xia Country.
Although Xia State’s current situation is not desperate, it is not optimistic.
Since the last selected person died, a new selected person will be randomly drawn this time. All hopes are placed on the next selected person.
Unfortunately, the selected person is randomly selected, and even the selected person himself will only know that he has been selected five seconds before the rule story begins.
In those short five seconds, you can't do anything at all.
"A new dungeon is about to begin. Based on our observations, the difficulty of the Rule Strange Stories dungeon is increasing year by year. I'm afraid this year's situation will be even worse than last year's."
"Yes, our Xia Nation has already lost four times in a row. What a shame! The rewards our chosen ones received after clearing the levels were all useless and couldn't possibly deal with the Kaidan Advent."
"If Chu He were still here, oh!"
When mentioning Chu He, sadness appeared on the faces of the analysis members. He is a wound that every Xia citizen can never forget.
Not long after the ghost stories came, after Xia Country experienced two ghost stories, Chu He became the new chosen one.
He survived the world of strange stories time and time again, and his record of completing twelve consecutive levels is the best in the world. The second-ranked beautiful national candidate only has a record of six consecutive levels.
Director Xia Zhengguo looked at the somewhat listless analysts and slammed the table.
"Don't be discouraged. No matter what, we can't give up until the very last moment. Everyone, adjust your mindset and face the next challenge in the best possible condition. Do your best to analyze the rules and help the chosen ones pass. We are the backing of the chosen ones and the hope of Xia Nation. We must never give up so easily!"
"And the United States is always ready to make a move. We must be ready to fight at any time!"
"yes!"
Besides Xia Country, other countries were also preparing for this strange discussion of rules. Some of them were extremely worried, while others were very excited...
The launch of the Rule Weird Challenge has also been discussed on major video software, news headlines and Weibo, and its popularity is unmatched even by superstars.
…
Xia Country, remote area, Liangjie Town.
At the door of a somewhat dilapidated grocery store, a middle-aged man in a Zhongshan suit stood, frowning as he looked at the countdown in the sky.
He murmured, "It's the third year now, they can't help it anymore."
Just as the man finished speaking, a young man's clear voice was heard.
"Uncle, I'm back. Our school has announced a holiday!"
As the voice fell, a figure in a blue and white school uniform swooped in front of him, grinning and showing a row of big white teeth as he looked at the middle-aged man with a smile.
The middle-aged man brushed the dust off his shoulders, turned around and went into the grocery store without saying a word.
The boy's name is Bai Ye. He was picked up from a garbage dump by a middle-aged man and raised. He couldn't even walk when he was picked up.
Bai Ye didn't see any response from his uncle, but he didn't get angry. He just looked up at the sky and muttered.
"It's the third year now, and I don't know when I'll be chosen."
After Bai Ye finished muttering, he withdrew his gaze and walked into the grocery store. This was the grocery store run by his uncle, but it usually didn't have much business.
Although there was no business, my uncle kept the shop for more than ten years.
Walking into the grocery store, Bai Ye saw his uncle rummaging through something at the counter and went over to him: "Uncle, what are you looking for? I'll find it for you. Your eyesight isn't very good."
The uncle who was rummaging through things didn't say anything, but continued to look through them on his own, while Bai Ye stood aside and watched obediently.
After a while, my uncle dug out a black jade Guanyin pendant from a pile of messy things.
