The Demon Laughter Building instantly transformed into the Demon Cry Building!
Okay, this name doesn't sound good.
The previous laughter could be explained as an aid to make the environment more infectious, but the transition between laughter and crying made Jiang Ran realize that something was wrong.
Do joy and sorrow represent two different states within the building?
Damn it!
Jiang then took a step back, because he saw that the octopus man who had just fallen to the ground had gotten up again. His suit jacket had burst open, revealing a white shirt with black stripes underneath.
That was a prison uniform!
Jiang Ran had just stuck the identity tag in his pocket, so now he could clearly see that the words on the identity tag had changed!
He went from being a "drunkard" to a "prisoner"!
Wait a minute, the octopus head seemed to have mentioned "rounds" before, which means that each change in the building's emotions represents the end of a round, and the identity card will also change accordingly?
Jiang Ran immediately took out his identity card, but it still read "Successful Person" without any change, and Jiang Ran himself was not affected at all.
"Forest......"
But when Jiang Ran turned around, she saw an unbelievable scene!
Lin Zhi's clothes were covered in holes and dust, and she looked completely bewildered as she held her identity token.
It says on it—
【beggar】!
[Drunkard] [Prisoner] [Beggar]! Jiang Ran now knows part of the rules of this game!
Joy and sorrow do indeed represent two states, corresponding to the successful and the unsuccessful, respectively!
Everyone starts with either a winner or a loser, representing two possible paths to success!
Drunkards, criminals, beggars—don't they perfectly represent the state of being a loser?
When joy turns to sorrow, it affects the identity of the loser series, thus causing a change in identity. As for whether this change is sequential or random, Jiang Ran cannot guess at the moment.
Because his identity card is "The Successor," he will only change his status when sadness turns into joy in the next round!
"It's because of you that you won't switch identities with me?!"
The octopus-headed man's eyes burned with rage, and he tried to reach out his arm to grab Jiang Nan's willpower, but Jiang Ran nimbly dodged him, causing him to stumble forward like a clown.
"If you switch places with me, I won't become a prisoner!"
Jiang Ran glanced at him up and down. It seemed that the identity card really had a significant impact on a person. Previously, when the octopus head got the [Drunkard] card, he immediately fainted. But now, the [Prisoner] card made him even more irritable and unable to control his emotions.
"You haven't changed at all. It seems your identity card belongs to the Successor faction!" The tentacles on the octopus head danced. "I advise you to hand over your identity card quickly, so you can continue to play with my [Prisoner]. Otherwise, I'll have to use force to get you out of here!"
Identity tokens can be stolen from each other!
"Did you come in alone?"
"Isn't that obvious? Which eye of yours saw anyone else next to me? But even if I were alone, I could easily handle the two of you!"
That's for sure. The octopus head is a genuine [King of Monsters] level monster creature. With Jiang Ran's current physical condition, it's impossible for him to fight it one-on-one. He also used the power of the [Wheel of Fate] to dodge its attack earlier.
However, this doesn't mean Jiang Ran can't do anything about him.
On the contrary, there are simply too many ways to kill him. Even a near-god level wouldn't dare to act recklessly in front of Jiang Ran. It would be easy and pleasant to deal with him by simply using a few miracles recorded by the Water Mirror.
But since only one person from the octopus-headed group entered, yet he was reduced to a "criminal," Jiang Ran couldn't help but think further.
If he came in alone, why didn't he just take the "Successful Person" identity card? Or was his previous identity card taken by someone else and replaced with a "Loser" identity card?
Jiang Ran prefers to believe that both types of identity tokens have their own advantages and disadvantages, and should be changed depending on the situation! While an identity may bring negative effects to the holder, it may also bring some kind of positive benefit!
[Prisoners]...Aside from being more easily agitated and having more difficulty controlling their emotions, do they also grant their holders any additional physical advantages?
What exactly is the octopus head trying to do?
He wanted to obtain Jiang Ran's identity token, but instead of simply snatching it, he offered to exchange it with him, even though simply taking it would have the same effect!
He didn't want Jiang Ran to lose his eligibility to participate in the game so quickly! Jiang Ran understood; the octopus-headed man's idea was most likely this—
He has now switched his identity to "Successful Person" in this round, because Jiang Ran doesn't seem to be in any serious condition, meaning the negative effects of his current identity are almost negligible!
The octopus man needs to do something else; he needs to regain his sanity! After doing this, he won't want the "successful" identity anymore, so he'll switch their identities back at that point!
In the next round, the winner's identity will be randomly swapped, while the loser's will not. The loser might be able to use the prisoner to do more...
Jiang Ran suddenly changed her mind about killing the octopus head.
He wanted to see what this guy was up to!
"Here, take it."
So Jiang Ran smiled and handed over his identity token.
"That's more like it! A wise person knows when to yield!"
Anyway, Jiang Ran could take back his identity token anytime he wanted. He took the [Prisoner] identity token and immediately sensed the change in his body the moment he got it!
Jiang Ran felt an inexplicable urge to kill the octopus head in front of him! He activated the Wheel of Fate to eliminate this negative influence and regain his sanity.
Under the influence of the "Prisoner," Jiang Ran did not notice any improvement in his physical abilities. Could it be that he was wrong and would not receive any positive improvement as a result?
"Prisoner...prisoner!"
They are prisoners, not criminals! Prisoners are criminals who have been caught, criminals who are already in prison, criminals who are already restrained!
Jiang Ran seemed to have a slight understanding of "prisoners" now. At the same time, if it really was as he thought, then the rules of this game were a bit too complicated!
"Alright, you two will follow me for now!"
Since the octopus head said so, Jiang Ran could confirm his previous guess.
He took off his coat and draped it over Lin Zhi, then followed the octopus-headed man!
