Red indicates an error.
In other words, the owner of the diary is not a human, but a sealed monster who has lost most of his memories and mistakenly believes himself to be human.
This is not good news for the Chosen Ones.
Before Matsubara Rikuto entered the instance, because Blue Star had nearly a hundred Chosen Ones, even though not everyone could see different diaries, with the support of big data, most of [Her Diary] had already been collected and organized by people on the forum for easy discussion.
The owner of the diary was determined to return to the human world, but became increasingly cold and ruthless, leading some to speculate that "the owner of the diary might be a ghost."
However, since the ghost realm is indeed very dangerous to humans, this kind of "growth" doesn't seem to be too out of place. Therefore, this speculation is ultimately just a conspiracy theory circulating in a small circle. In addition, there is also the speculation that "humans who stay in the ghost realm for too long will become ghosts," but the evidence is not very strong.
After all, the "Hyakki Yagyō" (Night Parade of One Hundred Demons) dungeon had only been open for two days.
Because there is no chance to carry over progress in single-player dungeons, let's take Sakura Country as an example. Enoshima Kazuo enters in the morning, has a meal, and then dies in the toilet. At this time, the dungeon time is reset. When Mitarai Ichiro enters, the dungeon time becomes morning again.
Meanwhile, it was already noon on Earth.
Following the instructions of the White Talent mission, Mitarai Ichiro left his home and went to the hot spring town, where he managed to sneak in and start working.
Because the demon realm is always under the night sky, Mitarai Ichiro doesn't have a particularly precise sense of time. Also, because the time on Blue Star and the ghost story instance is synchronized, although Mitarai Ichiro doesn't know how much time has passed, the audience on Blue Star knows that it is already evening of the first day.
After Ichiro Mitarai's character dies, Suzuka Kijima is chosen again, and time is reset once more.
She didn't waste much time at home either, and was immediately led by the cat to the Ghost Village Middle School, where she actually attended classes for a full day. Meanwhile, most of the viewers on Earth and those in Japan had already fallen asleep due to time constraints.
For viewers on the other side of Earth, in the new continent, it was daytime, but those who weren't professionals weren't very interested in the course content.
In short, on the second morning in Japan, the audience saw Kijima Suzuka return to her dormitory to prepare for sleep, and also witnessed the unusual events of the night. And then... that was it. After all, unless the Chosen One is sleeping in an unsafe place and scares the audience, there's really nothing interesting about it otherwise.
In the afternoon, Kijima Suzuka woke up, then went to school and was subjected to a series of rituals to be exorcised while using the restroom. The whole process was so fast that even the think tank couldn't react in time.
The live stream doesn't fully share the chosen one's perspective; rather, it's a God's-eye view from the camera.
Therefore, just as the contents of the note that Yin Zhu saw were completely different from what the audience saw, when Kijima Suzuka was countered by Hanako, the think tank only saw her sweating profusely and staring blankly, not knowing what she was thinking.
The next second, something unexpected happened. Kijima Suzuka covered her eyes and screamed. The think tank no longer had a chance to stop her from breaking the rules.
Now that Matsubara Rikuto has figured out exactly how to use his silver talent, he understands the problem.
Although he was still young and lacked the social experience of the previous three chosen ones, Matsubara Rikuto was at the perfect age for youthful exuberance and impulsiveness. So he quickly finished his meal, made an excuse to slip away, and began relaying information to the think tank in a secluded spot:
"I am the Silver Talent - Dawn Referee."
He reorganized his thoughts, naturally omitting the system's explanation of the talent and instead directly stating his own understanding of skill usage:
"I can see the errors in the rules. All the rules that are not entirely correct for passing the level will appear in red in my eyes, while the other correct rules are normal."
In fact, Matsubara Rikuto had also considered the question of whether the rules were deceiving people.
However, the rules in the game are correct in a certain sense, or rather, "completely correct for the target audience," except that the Chosen Ones are not the true target audience of the rules.
For the indigenous people, the toilet god is a deity, not a ghost, so there are indeed only two ghosts in the house.
But for the Chosen Ones... what gods are there? They are just beings with more powerful superpowers, and in essence, they are not much different from these ghosts and monsters—otherwise, why would the Toilet God be imprisoned by the Onmyoji and not be revered outside?
In addition, Rikuto Matsubara wanted to emphasize one point: "So I see that the owner of the diary is not human."
...
"So I see that the owner of the diary is not human."
This statement, which originated from a live broadcast in Japan, was quickly translated into the native language by staff monitoring other countries. Both the original and the translation were then submitted to the relevant members of their respective national think tanks.
This means that many previous speculations will have to be overturned.
"So, the owner of the diary was a ghost from the beginning, but he lost his memory? The Sakura Kingdom is quite lucky to have drawn a chosen one with silver talent, but unfortunately, he is not a fire thief."
He Zihan, a member of the Dragon Kingdom's think tank, quickly realized the same thing and came to the same conclusion as Matsubara Rikuto.
“There’s nothing to regret. If it were the Fire Stealers, their Chosen One might invite a fifth challenger tonight.” Ji Yueyong sneered. “It would also be a good opportunity to keep Ji Liao company.”
