I am a full-level celestial master, you let me enter the strange talk of rules?

Zhang Yangqing glanced at Youyu and Guwei, and after confirming that he understood, continued: "Suppose that someone in my profession was killed and had their clothes stolen by the third faction, then this person only needs to obtain access to the monitoring room, and then try to prevent others from obtaining access to the monitoring room. New monitors will be killed by him one after another. My first two monitors probably realized something, but they still died."

Hearing this, Youyu Weiwei felt a chill run down his spine, as if he were being spied on and plotted against: "It seems that this guy from the third faction is not easy to deal with. He can kill people in the monitoring room and prevent later people from getting access. This is not just difficult to deal with, this is impossible to deal with."

Zhang Yangqing smiled but didn't say anything.

What I really wanted to say was: That guy is not only difficult to deal with, he's practically sent by the ghost story world to kill me.

He now understands the purpose of adding a third faction to the Ghost Stories world.

Before the Chosen Ones entered this world of supernatural tales, members of the third faction had already entered.

His goal was probably to kill the Chosen One.

He might only know vague information, such as that the Chosen Ones would appear in a certain profession in this building, but he wouldn't know which profession it was.

Putting yourself in Zhang Yangqing's shoes, as someone from the third camp, since he arrived early, he must have started planning. The significance of this planning is to ensure that he can kill the other party once they appear.

Since the third faction knew about this place earlier than the Chosen Ones, they could use the information to their advantage to determine which rooms were safe, which were dangerous, and which rules could be exploited.

This monitoring room is a near-perfect setup. You can stay here and wait for the new monitors to come to you, then take care of the Chosen Ones in the monitoring room. No matter how many you kill, as long as you kill the Chosen Ones, that's fine.

There are no surveillance cameras here, and the new monitor doesn't have the necessary permissions, while the former monitor still holds some authority. The outcome was unequal from the start.

If the third faction has just finished setting up their positions and the Chosen Ones walk in, their chances of survival are practically nil.

But the Ghost Stories world isn't just about killing the Chosen Ones.

It assigned two unlucky individuals to be the monitors first, and their deaths would provide the chosen one with certain clues.

Whether the chosen one can detect it or not is up to the chosen one.

The world of ghost stories doesn't teach you how to live; it only lays out the clues.

If you can't see it yourself, that's your problem.

Thinking further ahead, if Zhang Yangqing fails this time, then the next 'chosen one' to become a monitor will receive information about the deaths of the three unlucky guys and continue the game.

The more people die, the more clues there are, and the greater the probability that those who come after will survive.

This can also be interpreted as the two "chosen ones" before Zhang Yangqing failing to pass the level.

They are not the chosen ones, but they play the role of the chosen ones in some way.

Rule 6 can also be referenced here.

[Rule 6: If you see someone wearing the same uniform as you in the surveillance footage, kill them immediately. Otherwise, they will kill you sooner or later. That person is not your colleague; they are hiding in the surveillance footage, waiting to replace you.]

Zhang Yangqing felt that his rules were opposed to those of the third camp.

They all need to kill each other. The true meaning of Rule 6 is that Zhang Yangqing should kill the third faction member who stole the monitor's clothes.

Logically speaking, Zhang Yangqing could have chosen not to kill the female monitor and instead discussed cooperation.

He had considered it; when the female monitor revived, he didn't act immediately.

Zhang Yangqing gave her a chance to see what she said and what she did.

But she seemed to think Zhang Yangqing was naive and planned to trick him into returning to the monitoring room to do her thing.

Then you don't need to be so polite.

In the end, Zhang Yangqing and the female monitor will have a showdown.

Whether she likes it or not, there should only be one monitor here.

A sense of presence is finite; if one person takes it away, another person will have less.

You have more, I have less; you have less, I have more; there is no middle ground.

This was Zhang Yangqing's prediction of the potential dangers at the end of the first phase, based on his analysis of all the intelligence. He had even guessed how the two monitors would die.

The long-haired male security guard who left the note was trapped in the monitoring room, unable to leave, escape, or call for help.

He listened to the footsteps outside the door, looked at the darkness outside the window, and waited, in a state of mental confusion, for that thing to approach step by step.

Unable to bear the torment, he hanged himself.

Zhang Yangqing guessed that the guy from the third camp was an extremely powerful mental controller.

He doesn't need to do anything; he just needs to stuff your mind with fear, despair, and the images you're most afraid of.

You will break down to despair, choosing either endless torment or suicide as a way out.

The second short-haired female monitor did not die completely because she escaped from the monitoring room, but her mind had been corrupted, and she chose to fake her death to escape.

Once a person enters a state of suspended animation, psychological attacks become ineffective.

Psychological attacks cannot target a person who is already "dead," as the dead have no senses.

This is a last resort, not a solution, but a means to save one's life.

She succeeded, but she also failed.

The reason for the failure was that the chosen ones who came later were even more ruthless.

At this stage, Zhang Yangqing only needs to turn on the last monitor and then appear in the monitoring room to trigger the attack by the third-faction monitors.

He installed a surveillance system here to ensure that psychological attacks could not cause him fatal harm.

Zhang Yangqing recorded the source of the attack, the method of attack, and so on.

He could use this information to track down the person who attacked him and kill them.

This also shows how complex Zhang Yangqing's plan was.

Why did he teach that red-haired psychic cultivator? Do you really think he had nothing better to do?
The red-haired psychic can deal with the mental attacks of the third faction; his psychic power is the outward projection of mental energy and the concentration of willpower.

The problem is, it's hard to say whether the red-haired psychic can win.

His telekinesis is strong, but that guy from the third faction might be even stronger.

The fact that he could easily kill two monitors, seize control of the monitoring room, and hide in this building for so long without being discovered is enough to show that this guy was very well prepared.

Zhang Yangqing cannot let his fate be in the hands of others; making more preparations is definitely the right thing to do.

Now, the third faction's monitors are the planners, and the chosen ones are the challengers.

This is not in line with Zhang Yangqing's style; he wants to do the opposite.

Instead of waiting for the other party to kill him, he let the other party come looking for death.

At this moment, Zhang Yangqing was thinking about how to prepare something more fun for that guy from the third camp.

At this point, some more people appeared on the surveillance footage.

After the little girl had eaten and drunk her fill, she went to the library with her teddy bear in her arms.

She climbed onto a chair, pulled out a few children's books from the bookshelf, flipped through a few pages, pulled out a few more, and flipped through a few more pages.

She had spread books all over the table, all over the floor, everywhere.

Some pages were facing up, some were facing down, lying haphazardly and in a mess.

She sat in the middle of the pile of books, opened a picture book, looked at two pages, put it down, and picked up another one.

The little girl seemed unsure which book to choose, or perhaps she wanted to read them all. (End of Chapter)
