Because the indigenous people were already dead.
Yin Zhu thought it was only natural.
Therefore, having already accepted this as common sense, she couldn't understand why Anzhi was so surprised.
It's like you tell someone that 1+1 equals 2, and they look at you in shock: "What? 1+1 equals 2? Why does it equal 2? How did you figure that out?" You might just think, "But it's common sense, it just equals 2..."
An Zhi took a deep breath and realized that this chosen one, selected after the nation's fortune rose following the successful completion of three dungeons in the Dragon Kingdom, was indeed extraordinary.
"Why do you think they're dead? Aren't they alive and well?" Anzhi asked her, trying to remain calm. "Indigenous people have their own lives, their own social relationships. They're living, breathing people. Are you going to keep treating them like dead people?"
Anzhi felt that the netizens' concerns were not unfounded.
If Yin Zhu treats the world of ghost stories as just a game, then for Blue Star, this chosen one is undoubtedly very dangerous.
On the surface, it seems that as long as the chosen one succeeds in passing the test within five times, the national fortune value of all countries will increase. This upward trend without any decline is only beneficial to all countries. However, from another perspective, it's like receiving a salary.
You'll become richer when your salary increases while everyone else's doesn't.
However, if everyone's wages increase together, and even prices rise accordingly, it's practically the same as not getting a wage increase at all.
The most troublesome problem is that you have no chance to take a pay cut. If you lose five times in a row, you will be fired directly, the country will descend into a strange tale, and it will become a forbidden zone on Earth.
In this situation, it is natural that the higher the overall quality of the chosen one, the better.
Although there are five chances to recover from a mistake, the fewer mistakes a chosen one makes, the greater their personal rewards will be, and the higher their survival rate will be in the next dungeon challenge. Once a chosen one who has accumulated many personal rewards makes a single mistake, it's equivalent to their account being wiped clean. However, the difficulty of the next level will only increase, and in the later stages, a new chosen one is essentially a level 0 character trying to fight a level 100 dungeon. What's the difference between that and throwing good money after bad?
After Ji Liao died due to a mistake, the system randomly selected two chosen ones from the Dragon Kingdom who were not watching the live stream. Even though the country wasted the opportunity to help them, they were infected or triggered instant death endings for various reasons.
For unprepared chosen ones, the world of supernatural tales is even more dangerous than for experienced, seasoned chosen ones. Many questions can only be answered by risking one's life, which explains the extremely high mortality rate in each country during the first instance.
Therefore, all countries are striving to cultivate a professional chosen one for dungeons in order to avoid personnel replacement as much as possible.
For example, Hirano San from the land of cherry blossoms, Thomson from the land of lighthouses, Ulyanov from the land of bears... and Ji Liao from the land of dragons before.
Those with a playful mindset don't value their own lives much because they don't feel the pressure of bearing the fate of hundreds of millions of people. So they take all their advantages and go wild.
Similarly, if they are like this in the world of supernatural tales, they often maintain this mentality after returning to Earth, and may even become more arrogant and domineering because of their status as chosen ones.
A previous chosen one of Mizushima was like that.
He was one of the chosen ones to enter the dungeon on his first try, even managing to complete two. However, after emerging from the second dungeon, his behavior worsened, treating everyone else as NPCs and even resulting in injuries. As the country with the lowest crime rate on Earth, Mizushima found his behavior intolerable and imprisoned him.
So, for reasons unknown, after the third instance opened, he put on a very bloody opening show in front of all the viewers—live-streaming his suicide.
Perhaps for the Unspeakable, this is indeed a game, but for the people of Earth, death is death.
In Anzhi's eyes, Yin Zhu was also likely this kind of person, so she desperately needed to confirm Yin Zhu's mental state and make the Chosen One realize the preciousness of life, even if it was just the life of an indigenous person.
Yin Zhu was silent for a while, probably organizing her thoughts, before slowly speaking: "Dead is dead. The fact that the Strange Tales World allows all the chosen ones to maintain the same story rhythm already tells everyone that it is a puppet show."
After thinking for a moment, she added, "The indigenous people were indeed alive at the time, but I think they were more like a highly intelligent and interactive death video, except that it captured the part of the indigenous people before they died."
"You can imagine that kind of world is a slow death, and there is no perfect ending at all."
At this point, Yin Zhu opened the documents in front of her, which contained complete information on the four dungeons. She flipped to the section on "Green House" and couldn't help but laugh after seeing the walkthrough for a perfect completion: "If a seed could really easily kill that kind of monster, why doesn't the lab use it themselves? This story is too much of a deus ex machina, isn't it?"
"But it really can."
An Zhi had regained her previous composure: "Just because you don't know something doesn't mean it doesn't exist. It's just information that you hadn't explored at the time."
Yin Zhu scoffed: "A perfect ending is more like drawing a pie in the sky for the dead, making them feel more at ease in death, but it's completely useless."
It's just to comfort the spirits of the indigenous people in heaven.
“There’s no need to be so extreme,” An Zhi disagreed.
"Then let me provide you with some information that you probably don't know." Yin Zhu didn't look at her, but casually flipped through the documents. Because she read very quickly, she was soon certain that the information she wanted to say wasn't there.
