I have delusions, and you want me to participate in a ghost story?

Chapter 4: Dead End? ( words long, please read on!)

silence.

Deathly silence.

The live broadcast room instantly fell into deathly silence.

Afterwards, the barrage in the entire Xia Guo live broadcast room exploded!
Countless comments flashed by, expressing their shock.

[Oh my god, what's going on? Why didn't Zhou Xiaochuan die? He went crazy in this world of ghost stories and didn't die? ]

[Zhou Xiaochuan and Dr. Bryant both opened the door, but the other chosen ones who chose not to open the door died. It seems that opening the door is the only way to survive! ]

[Could it be that Zhou Xiaochuan is playing dumb? His logical reasoning ability is almost as good as Professor Bryant's? ]

[But what's going on? Doesn't the rule say that people here only know the Chosen One's online name "Yang Di"? Those who didn't react in the first wave all died. This can't be a fake rule! ]

[But the second wave of knocks was indeed called "Yang Di". We all had a preconceived notion that the two knocks might not have been from the same person, or that only responding to the real name would trigger the strange killing pattern.]

[Damn it! Who was the first one to figure out that the door couldn't be opened? The chosen one in our country was given a hint by the Ghost Story Bureau and learned from him!]

[It's Leo Yoshi from the Sakura Country! ]

[Damn it, this guy is so smart that he has brought disaster to our country's Chosen Ones! ]

All of a sudden, the live broadcast room in the Sakura Country turned into a place for netizens from various countries to quarrel with each other.

……

The world of ghost stories, Oishi Village.

Professor Bryant walked slowly and cautiously to the dining room.

The living room was empty, with almost no furniture, but there were leftover beer bottles everywhere around the living room.

The style of the beer bottles are all exactly the same, they are the cheapest green glass bottles that cost three yuan a bottle.

These leftover beer bottles piled up together and covered the entire living room.

The walls around the living room had turned yellow and were peeling off, and the corners of the walls were even covered with moss and spider webs. It looked as if no one was living in the house.

In sharp contrast to the surroundings, there is a huge mahogany table and five mahogany chairs in the center of this empty living room.

You know, mahogany tables and chairs are very valuable.

It is extremely awkward to see this mahogany table and chairs in such a dilapidated room.

If it were any other chosen one, they would definitely become suspicious and would not dare to sit down.

After all, the lame Uncle Huang, Huang Xiaoyong, and the dark environment outside triggered three rules.

Professor Bryant also thought for a long time before pulling out a chair and sitting down.

After all, the rules say that lame Uncle Huang cannot be trusted. If this rule is true, then Uncle Huang is most likely weird.

It would be bad if I didn't sit down at this time and caused Uncle Huang's dissatisfaction.

In addition to Professor Bryant, there were three other people sitting at this mahogany table.

One of them was Uncle Huang who had just knocked on the door. The part of his right leg below the knee was empty, and the trousers he was wearing had been cut off by him, revealing the broken part at the knee.

The other two were children, both with dark faces, one tall and one short.

Uncle Huang saw Professor Bryant sitting down, so he said, "My two sons both have some intellectual problems. The younger one is Huang Xiaoqin and the older one is Huang Xiaoyong. If you want to film it, go ahead. But remember to pay me 5,000 yuan for each live broadcast."

Professor Bryant was stunned, then nodded.

The setting of this weird story was made clear from the beginning. He was a host whose purpose was to take advantage of the traffic of brothers Huang Xiaoqin and Huang Xiaoyong.

The rules given at the beginning also clearly emphasized that he was the host.

“Rule one: Remember you are a host, so be a good host.”

“Rule Three: Please do not refuse any requests for paid comments in the live broadcast room.”

Coach Bryant took out his cell phone and motioned for Uncle Huang to hand over the phone so that he could transfer the money.

Unexpectedly, when Uncle Huang saw Professor Bryant's cell phone, his face immediately changed, and a hint of fear appeared in his expression.

"No, no! Don't hold your phone so close to me. I only accept cash. Isn't that what we agreed on before?"

When Professor Bryant saw Uncle Huang's reaction, he was stunned and seemed to be thinking about something.

He put away his phone, then pulled out a stack of brand new banknotes from his pocket, exactly five thousand yuan.

Uncle Huang didn't wait for Professor Bryant to count the banknotes. Greed flashed in his eyes and he snatched the banknotes from Bryant's hands.

He wet his fingers with his saliva, finished counting, and nodded.

"Yeah. Not bad, nothing less, you can start the live broadcast."

Then, he turned around and shouted viciously at the two children huddled in the corner: "Cooperate with Brother Dianyang's live broadcast, do you hear me? Do whatever he tells you to do!"

Huang Xiaoyong, who was older and statured, had a dull look in his eyes, but his reaction was one step faster than that of his younger brother Huang Xiaoqin.

Although he was mute and unable to speak, he held his brother Huang Xiaoqin's head and nodded twice.

Upon seeing this, Professor Bryant opened his backpack, took out his selfie stick, and opened the live broadcast room.

As soon as the broadcast started, the popularity of the live broadcast room soared to one million.

It turns out that this Yang Di has 10 million fans on the live streaming platform, making him a veritable big anchor.

But what’s strange is that although this live broadcast room is very popular, there is not a single barrage of comments, it is very cold and deserted.

"Hello everyone in the live broadcast room, I came to Dashi Village today and will take you to learn about the legendary Little Heshen Huang Xiaoqin."

Professor Bryant is a PhD in logic from the Lighthouse Country, but he has also used the short video software from the Xia Country. He imitated the way the hosts from the Xia Country did and greeted the barrage.

He dared not be careless about such things. After all, the first rule required him to be a good anchor!
When Professor Bryant said this, an official message suddenly floated into the live broadcast room, showing a new rule.

"First: Please call Huang Xiaoqin "Little Heshen" and Huang Xiaoyong "Yong Cilang". As a host, you cannot call them by their names."

Immediately following this official message, a high-red paid reward message appeared.

"User's cousin gave a reward of 1000 yuan on the road"

[I heard that the water in Dashi Village is not clean. Xiao Heshen and Yongjiro became demented after drinking the water from Dashi Village. Let Xiao Heshen get some water from Dashi Village and drink it for everyone to see.] Professor Bryant was stunned.

This is a paid reward message.

“Rule 2: Please do not reject any requests for paid messages in the live broadcast room.

Rule three: Please do not drink the village water in any way.”

Professor Bryant was sweating profusely. The phenomenon of two rules conflicting with each other was not uncommon before.

However, the phenomenon of placing two conflicting rules directly in front of the Chosen One, forcing the Chosen One to make a choice, is something that has never happened before in previous strange stories.

Strange talk, it's getting harder and harder...

Professor Bryant frowned. His talent simulator could only simulate twice an hour, and only ten minutes had passed.

In other words, this was a multiple-choice question that could lead to eternal damnation if one made the wrong choice, and he had no way of clearing the minefield through the simulator.

Cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

Suddenly, Little Heshen Huang Xiaoqin broke free from his brother Yongcilang Huang Xiaoyong, who had been holding him, jumped in front of Professor Bryant's mobile phone camera, and started singing.

"Ali, Ali, Ali! Oh oh oh! Open the door, open the door!" The strange and weird melody seemed like a needle piercing Professor Bryant's heart.

Following the singing of Little Heshen Huang Xiaoqin, Huang Xiaoyong and Huang Xiaoqin gathered together and started a strange dance.

The two people hugged each other tightly, jumping back and forth in front of Professor Bryant's mobile phone camera like zombies.

As they danced, Professor Bryant felt as if his heart was being squeezed by a giant hand.

His heartbeat quickened unconsciously, and even he could hear the thumping sound clearly.

This condition will last at most half a minute, and then he will die immediately!

Professor Bryant looked at the black system default avatar for paid messages in the live broadcast room on the mobile phone screen, gritted his teeth at the completely opposite rules.

Never mind, let’s take a gamble!
He looked at Huang Xiaoqin and gave a standard black smile, revealing his extremely white teeth and full of friendliness.

"Little Heshen, pour uncle a glass of water."

At this moment, 40% of the world's live viewers gathered in the live broadcast room of the Lighthouse Country, watching Professor Bryant's performance.

[Oh my god, this ghost story has only been going on for ten minutes and the rules have been triggered so many times. The difficulty of this ghost story is really unprecedented. ]

[Yes, this time the rules are still contradictory, the two are opposite, but our Professor Bryant of the Lighthouse Country must have figured out which rule is false, so he asked Little Heshen to pour water. ]

[That's right, Professor Bryant of the Lighthouse Country has an IQ of 249, and is definitely the only survivor of this strange story. ]

[I heard that just now, Xia Guo's psychopath also passed the second wave of door-opening kills and followed Uncle Huang to the living room.]

[Haha, are you talking about the psychopath wearing the clothes of a mental hospital and a garbage bag on his head? Don't tease me, he's just lucky, he'll die uglier than a dog in a while! ]

……

In most people's minds, he, who possesses SS-level talent and is a PhD in Logic from the University of Foha in the Beacon Country, is the most likely chosen one to survive this strange story.

They believed that when Professor Bryant asked Xiao Heshen and Huang Xiaoqin to pour water, he must have figured out which of the two rules was true and which was false.

If Professor Bryant could see these comments now, he would only be at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

There was too little information available. Even as a professor of logic, he had no way of inferring the truth or falsity of the rules from such few existing conditions.

What's more, maybe these two rules are both true, or both false, or half true and half false.

He can only take a gamble now!
A gamble that determines his fate.

"Little Heshen, pour uncle a glass of water."

After he said this, he nervously observed the reactions of everyone present.

Huang Xiaoqin's brother, the mute Yongjiro, still looked dazed, as if everything happening now had nothing to do with him.

However, there was a hint of timidity in Uncle Huang's eyes that was barely noticeable to ordinary people. He blinked much faster and swallowed his saliva!
As for Huang Xiaoqin, he stopped dancing, staggered to Professor Bryant, and stretched out his hand.

With his pure eyes, he looked up at Professor Bryant and said, "One hundred dollars."

Professor Bryant was stunned for a moment, then realized that Huang Xiaoqin meant to give him a hundred yuan if he was asked to pour water!
Without thinking, Bryant reached into his pocket, pulled out a hundred-dollar bill and handed it to Huang Xiaoqin.

Huang Xiaoqin snatched the hundred-dollar bill as if he was robbing it and put it into his pocket. Then he walked into the depths of darkness humming the strange song "Ali Ali" that he had hummed before.

To Professor Bryant's surprise, Huang Xiaoqin brought up a somewhat worn wooden bowl with a small hole in it in less than a minute.

The water from Dashi Village in the wooden bowl looked extremely clear, without even a trace of turbidity, and did not look at all like the abnormality mentioned in the rules.

He picked up the bowl of water, as if he wanted to drink it all, but suddenly his foot slipped and he fell to the ground, and the bowl of water hit Huang Xiaoqin on the head.

Because it was a wooden bowl, Huang Xiaoqin's head was not seriously injured. The water just flowed down Huang Xiaoqin's messy hair and wet his entire body. A lot of water dripped into his mouth.

Huang Xiaoqin, who drank a lot of water, suddenly held his head in pain.

"My head! My head! My head hurts so much, my head was hit by a bowl!"

Then he rolled around on the ground madly.

At this moment, Uncle Huang had closed his eyes, with veins bulging on his hands and neck, as if he was making a difficult decision. Huang Xiaoyong still looked wooden, as if the whole thing had nothing to do with him.

"Xiaoqin? Are you okay?" Professor Bryant squatted down and wanted to pull Huang Xiaoqin up, but his hand was actually knocked away by Huang Xiaoqin.

Bryant's hand was hurt from the beating.

As a black professor, Bryant not only studies logic, but also likes to play basketball.

In order to play basketball, he built up a muscular body, and he is even wearing the same No. 24 jersey as a basketball star named Kobe.

Being able to easily knock Professor Bryant's hand away, this kind of strength is definitely not something that a child like Huang Xiaoqin, who is only 1.2 meters tall, can possess.

Surprising!

But Professor Bryant seemed to have anticipated this. He squatted down and approached the tumbling Huang Xiaoqin and spoke slowly.

"Little Heshen, the uncles and aunts in the live studio really want to see Brother Yang drink the water from Dashi Village. Can you go get another bowl for Brother Yang?"

Little Heshen's subsequent answer made everyone who was watching Professor Bryant's live broadcast of ghost stories break out in a cold sweat.
