Physical persuasion, scientific transcendence [unlimited]

The process of borrowing money from loan sharks was surprisingly smooth.

Probably because the four of them seem to be in good condition, and they don't seem to be the kind of desperate people.

As for those who haven't come to a dead end, the fat and water on their bodies can usually be squeezed out by force.

A salesman who received them at the Microfinance side had a smile on his face and a bit of a quack air, and his speech was very bright and straightforward.

However, when the salesman looked at them with extremely veiled eyes, Wen Youning clearly sensed that kind of naked evaluation.

It is estimated that the salesman also felt that if the four of them really couldn't pay back the money, the other party could directly pull them out and sell them at a good price.

Wen Youning lowered his eyes slightly.

Anyway, those who dare to lend usury have not yet been hammered by the iron fist of socialism.They are even confident that they have enough means, and it is impossible to lose money no matter what.

Coming out of "Zhangsan Microfinance Company", the young man directly handed over all the money to Wen Youning, which happened to be 1 yuan.

Wen Youning shook his head slightly, and instead of reaching out to pick it up, he simply said: "Divide it into four parts, each person takes 2500 yuan, keep it carefully, and don't put it in one place."

The young man complied immediately, and the four of them quickly divided the money.

Wen Youning also specially took out 200 from his share and put it in his trouser pocket outside as the rent to the landlord tonight, and then said softly: "I plan to go upstairs tonight and pay the rent to the landlord at the same time." , explore the reality upstairs."

The young man immediately said: "I will go too when the time comes."

Dahan: "Together, we have a lot of people, so we can take care of each other."

The girl also had the same reaction, "Well, let's watch it together, and the observation will be more detailed."

Wen Youning looked at the three of them and couldn't help but smile.

Coincidentally, just a few steps away from the side of the road, there is a mobile stall selling snacks with a tricycle at the corner of the street.

Thinking of the girl's 30 points of spiritual value, Wen Youning looked at her and asked directly: "Is there any taboo? Coriander, green onion or something?"

The girl shook her head, "No..."

As Wen Youning walked towards the food stall, he continued to ask: "Then, are pancakes or pancakes filled with eggs, or baked cold noodles?"

Coincidentally, when they were pulled closer to the live broadcast room, it was already eight o'clock in the evening in the real world outside. Except for the girl who just got off work, the other three had already eaten.

Wen Youning didn't ask the other two big men if they wanted something to eat.

The gaze of the neglected young man has been following Wen Youning, watching him pay for a cold noodle.

Then, the girl breathed a sigh of relief, stretched out her hand to take it, and said in a low voice, "Thank you..."

Wen Youning reminded by the way: "While eating later, observe the changes in mental value."

The girl nodded.

The young man suddenly said: "It has been more than an hour since I came out outside, and my spiritual value has not continued to drop."

When the girl and the big man heard the sound, they all looked at their numbers immediately.

Their mental values ​​remained at the previous numbers, the girl was still at 30, and the man was still at 97, neither of which continued to decrease.

But the hunger point, everyone lost 2 points evenly.

Wen Youning raised his head, squinted his eyes and looked at the bright sun at noon.

They are already outside the village in the city at this moment, and behind them are those narrow and dilapidated illegally built houses and tube buildings.

Compared with the messy detours outside and the alleys that are too narrow to know if they are blocked, the atmosphere inside the group rental house is the most suffocating.

Wen Youning speculated: "It's normal for the hunger value to decrease over time. This is completely a normal state of the human body. As for the mental value, the environment of the group rental house is too dark and obscure. When we are in it, the mental value will continue to decrease. However, After leaving the group rental house, the sun directly dispelled the haze, and the mental value would not continue to decrease."

Dahan: "Doesn't that mean that it's safer for us to stay outside the group rental house than to stay inside?"

Wen Youning reminded: "The theme of this live broadcast room is "Cage House", and the clue to breaking the game must still be in the group rented room."

This can be regarded as the internal balance of the "Thriller Live Studio", where dangers and opportunities coexist.

The four looked at each other.

Wen Youning said directly: "Come on, let's find a place to sit down and talk slowly."

If it was a normal situation, they must be trying to earn tonight's rent in one afternoon through various methods.

However, because of the operation of usury to squeeze wool, Wen Youning and the four of them are not short of money now, and the time that should have been exhausted is also directly free.

The four of them quickly found a shady place with luxuriant branches nearby and sat down.

A few small benches and small horses were randomly placed beside the shade of the tree, and a simple chess board was painted with paint on the cement table next to it. It is estimated that the elderly people living nearby gathered together to play chess. place.

It's noon, the chess group should have gone back to eat, and Wen Youning and the four of them happened to sit down.

The girl herself was holding the grilled cold noodles that were still hot just out of the pan, and stared at her mental state while eating.

Although she didn't have dinner before she came in, her hunger value attribute was relatively not low at that time.

After eating a cold baked noodle, the girl reported: "My hunger value has recovered by 30 points, and my spirit value has recovered by 10 points."

Wen Youning did the math, and said, "It seems that the hunger value is easy to recover. Basically, a normal diet can be maintained in a relatively safe and stable range. The recovery of the mental value will be slower, and we must pay attention to avoiding it. Spiritual things."

The girl nodded seriously.

Afterwards, the four of them began to discuss the live broadcast task one by one.

The big man looked at the girl, "The time when your mental value dropped the most was probably when you met that monster!"

Wen Youning: "It's a phantom, everyone's illustrated book should have been opened?"

The girl was taken aback, and immediately went to look through the contents in the illustrated book.

[Phantom]: A weak and fragile creature that can easily be crushed to death by a boot that suddenly falls from upstairs. It feeds on the positive emotions of humans.

It can see through your heart, be careful of the phantom in the dark, it will lead you into the swamp and quagmire of emotions.

The girl murmured: "No wonder... that monster has directly turned into my mother."

The big man scratched his head, "I saw Uncle Ge, and I was so frightened that I shivered."

However, for an adult who has left school to work, even recalling the nightmare of the college entrance examination is really just a conversation with a friend.

The big man was just abused by mathematics, but his college entrance examination results did not become his regret in life.

Wen Youning told the truth: "I also saw someone I knew, but that person was bleeding, and the monster appeared with blood and a knife. It's too fake."

Young man: "I also immediately discovered that the monster turned into a fake person, and the age doesn't match."

In the end, Wen Youning concluded: "When encountering a phantom, treat the other's changing creature as real. After being emotionally affected by the monster, the mental value will be greatly reduced."

If the girl had suffered a greater mental shock at that time, and her mental value had dropped below 30, then it was very likely that she would fall into hallucinations, and it would become increasingly difficult to distinguish between reality and illusion around her.

Wen Youning and the others who originally ran to save others might even be regarded as imaginary enemies by the girl and attacked.

Wen Youning: "Let's talk about the theme of "The Cage House" again! As the name suggests, the cage house is a small room like a cage, which usually appears in big cities where every inch of land is expensive, especially in places like urban villages that are not properly managed. Cage House In fact, it is a group rented house, and it is also called a 'coffin house' in some places."

The big man hissed, shivered, and muttered: "The coffin house, it's not in the group rented house, it's actually all ghosts, that house is a real 'coffin' house!"

Wen Youning replied softly: "Our task requirement is to broadcast live for seven days, that is to say, other tenants and landlords may be human at present, but may become ghosts in the next few days. But there must be some reason for this, led to such a change in those people."

After a pause, Wen Youning said bluntly: "The only reason for changing from a human to a ghost, regardless of the complicated circumstances, is the death of a person."

"The most direct possibility is that a major accident occurred in the group rental house, causing death, the house caught fire, and gas leaks, all of which are obvious safety hazards in the group rental house."

"Of course, there is another possibility that fierce conflicts broke out within the group rental house, and the subsequent conflicts intensified, leading to the deaths of people step by step."

Speaking of this, Wen Youning suddenly paused for a while, and then said: "Wait, my guess just now was a little rash. The phantom appeared before the live broadcast scene was refreshed, that is to say, we can't be sure now. Whether what happened next in the house is science or supernatural.”

The other three immediately looked at him.

The girl asked sincerely: "Scientific thinking... how do you say it?"

Wen Youning: "If there are no ghosts in this live broadcast room, then the dangers we may face next may also be burglary and murder, food poisoning, house collapse, all kinds of accidents that can cause death are too many. "

After Wen Youning finished his analysis and guessing, he made a brief summary.

"Let me take a look at what we are going to do next!"

The young man touched the sunglasses on his face again, "Okay..."

Wen Youning: "Be prepared with both hands. If there are ghosts, we must find out the personal situation and interpersonal relationship of other residents in the group rental house, so as to prevent them from becoming ghosts, or ensure our own survival after they become ghosts."

"If there are no ghosts, then for the next seven days, we must be careful of all kinds of potential safety hazards and accidents.

Fires, gas leaks, electric shocks, food poisoning, fans falling from the roof, broken bed boards, fights, etc. "

·

In the real world, in the conference room on the fourteenth floor, a group of colleagues who were watching Wen Youning's live broadcast were also stunned.

Cha Cha couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "If we follow Brother Ning's thinking, this live broadcast room shouldn't be called "The Cage House". It's better to just change the name to "The God of Death is Coming."

Just now, Director Wang, who drove over in a hurry, had already arrived.

But everyone couldn't care less about the meeting right now, instead they kept watching Wen Youning's situation.

Regarding the fact that Wen Youning and the others spent 800 yuan to live in a group rental house, Director Wang was even more sympathetic, and accurately concluded: "This is forcing us to spend money on Ningning's crimes! I remember that Ningning is very clean." , this environment has not driven Ning Ning crazy?"

Fat Brother nodded: "Yeah, just now when I saw the fake tool man No. 4 walking over covered in blood, Ning Ning immediately went crazy."

"Tool Man No. 4?" Director Wang was taken aback for a moment.

Fat Brother briefly explained the origin of Toolman No. 4.

Director Wang understood instantly, but this is not the point, he sighed a little: "By the way, have you confirmed the identities of the three people who teamed up with You Ning?"

A young man at the far end of the conference table, when he was sitting on the chair, was silently swaying and twisting to his own rhythm, without stopping for a moment.

If it weren't for him still wearing a police uniform and looking very aura, the fat guy who was a little dizzy from being shaken would have wished to pin him to a chair directly, so as not to keep dangling like an ADHD.

When asked by Director Wang, the ADHD buddy who had been dangling around finally stopped, sat up straight and replied: "The girl is called Song Lingdi, and I know her name. She is a child from a typical patriarchal family. After graduating from university for one year, I worked in a game company."

"That big guy is called Zhao Min. He used to be a math teacher in high school. He resigned from school seven years ago. Now he is the boss of a well-known education and training institution in our city."

"They are all ordinary people without any criminal record."

After finishing speaking, the ADHD buddy pointed at the young man on the screen and shook his head: "The one who has been wearing sunglasses and a peaked cap, his face is covered too tightly, and the face recognition system can't judge it, and can't confirm his identity."

After a pause, ADHD added: "But he should know Brother Ning. The onlookers on our side can tell it clearly from some actions. It's just that he doesn't know why, he dare not show his face in front of Brother Ning."

Director Wang, who is broad-minded and fat, is very good at expanding his mind. Seeing this, he couldn't help guessing: "Is it possible that they are our Ningning's tool people No. 1, 2, and 3? But it's not a big problem, as long as they are not bad people."

No one can answer this question.

Director Wang just said that casually, and he didn't take it seriously. Instead, he asked Cha Cha: "Is there any exact data on the number of victims caused by [Thriller Live] now?"

Chacha: "We have already notified various communities to conduct an online investigation, and we will probably be able to calculate a rough result tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."

Director Wang nodded and sighed lightly.

While looking at Wen Youning, who was caught in the horror live broadcast room, he said, "Notify the relevant departments that we need further network technical support."

ADHD was stunned for a moment, "Technical detectives and network supervisors have been watching, but at present, the app and live room webpage of [Thriller Live] cannot be cracked technically."

Director Wang's voice is gentle, but his tone is full of steadiness and determination, "Since there is no way to directly block [Thriller Live] from the computer technology, then we will create a brand new live page for it."

Director Wang pondered for a moment, and continued: "In this way, every page of the live broadcast room we created by ourselves corresponds to the UP main live room page of [Terror Live], and then, our personnel database here can It also directly corresponds to the city's permanent population database."

ADHD understands, "This is simple, just link their corresponding URLs from the webpage."

Chacha: "At present, we can only manually count and link one live broadcast room to another live broadcast room. The operation itself is not difficult, but the workload is very heavy."

Director Wang nodded, "If there is not enough manpower, continue to ask for people. Check the personal information of the UP hosts in the live broadcast room one by one, and then match them with our live room database. Anyone can do this job. I will contact them directly later to ask them to add more people."

ADHD: "What else? Our live broadcast room will definitely add a search function, a barrage function, and a mosaic shielding function for bloody scenes. Is there anything else?"

Director Wang calmly said: "There is also a safety reminder function. There will definitely be many people watching the live broadcast. When watching other people's live broadcasts, the general public must learn how to deal with them and know what to do when they encounter similar things. manage!"

Several people at the conference table glanced at each other and acted immediately.

Director Wang's idea is actually very simple. Since they can't get rid of this [Thriller Live] trash thing for the time being, they will make a better one, directly use the original video source of [Thriller Live], and then squeeze out its survival. space!
