I Don't Agree to the Terms

Chapter 967 510: Beneath the Truth, Who Is the Real Angler?

"I've found the truth." Shura finished his meal, put down his bowl, and finally spoke.

Gu Shanhai and Datianwei glanced at him but said nothing.

"Based on my investigation, none of the ghosts have truly cleared the 'Garden Apartment' instance. They've completed the main storyline, but barely survived back."

"The worldview hasn't been completely decrypted, which is why the 'Garden Apartment' instance continues to exist."

"And our extra day is related to this."

Shura's tone carried a hint of oddity, as if he had thought of something, then continued: "In fact, it's also related to the fire. According to my investigation, the initial issue wasn't that severe."

"The real problem only happened to ten households, the others were unaffected."

"That's right, it's those ten rooms allocated to the ghosts by the All Ghosts Survival Platform." Shura rambled on quite a bit.

Gu Shanhai sighed helplessly: "And then, what you're saying is useless. Even without your investigation, anyone with eyes could see there's an issue with those ten rooms, or else why would they be the spawn points for ghosts."

"If you ask me, if there's no way to investigate further, just blow them up and be done with it."

Upon hearing this, Shura nodded: "True, but what if those ten rooms gave birth to ten ghosts?"

"That's interesting. Can this world give birth to ghosts?" Datianwei is quite adept at dealing with vengeful spirits and demons.

"In the absence of external interference, that's exactly the case." Shura explained.

"You're implying that the All Ghosts Survival Platform interfered in that incident, turning victims into ghosts." Datianwei said instinctively.

"No, logically speaking, these ten aren't actual ghosts; rather, it's the protection period after the ghosts descended." Shura said.

"And this is actually the node or benefit we need to find, right." Gu Shanhai also understood, revealing a curious thought: "This technology is truly peculiar."

Verifying from all perspectives, the human world doesn't naturally give birth to ghosts. It's a rule, like expecting Magic World to develop cultivators—it inherently doesn't fit, how could it be forced?

But the All Ghosts Survival Platform found another way, forming unique nodes through this approach.

"Precisely, that's why the Garden Apartment is the toughest instance in the beginner levels, because it hides an important node of the All Ghosts Survival Platform."

"Though I can't determine why the All Ghosts Survival Platform is doing this yet, it's clearly driven by interests."

"For example, betting small to win big."

Shura shared his guess, as a top player, he's encountered large world storylines over the years, knowing many secrets, like world invasions.

He just didn't mention them directly.

"Wait, you mean the All Ghosts Survival Platform will release an update on the last day, and then we'll face corresponding dangers, right?" Datianwei quickly connected the timeline, making corresponding guesses.

After all, lately, it's been too easy, so easy it doesn't match the difficulty.

"Exactly, so we need to prepare. The tenth day might be a tough battle, the first nine days were just for preparation. If we haven't uncovered the truth and remain complacent, we'll likely be caught off guard. Nine days of calm are deceptively reassuring." Shura laid it all out now. Hiding the truth didn't benefit him, since everyone's progress was shared.

"No, you're missing a point."

Suddenly, Gu Shanhai spoke directly.

"During these ten days, the Garden Apartment isn't just part of the human world."

"The entire apartment is being drawn bit by bit into the Ghost World. Even if just a little, by the tenth day, perhaps half or more might be in the Ghost World."

"Ghosts might not need to worry, but the All Ghosts Survival Platform will definitely target us, forming artifacts or rules, directly reversing the position between humans and ghosts."

"As for the ghosts here seeking survival, they're more like sustenance for those ten ghosts designed as protective layers."

"So the optimal solution isn't to wait until after ten days, it's to deal with those ten rooms now."

Gu Shanhai said leisurely.

"This difficult?" Shura asked surprised.

The real focus now is that the entire apartment could be drawn into another world, it involves the conflict between worlds, definitely no simple task.

"Yes, difficult indeed. But if we wait until the tenth day to act, the reward will be high. Acting now is like getting a guaranteed minimum reward."

"Are you sure you can break through this protective period?" Gu Shanhai actually preferred to wait for ten days, if his guess was right, maybe they could even get something from the All Ghosts Survival Platform."

As for the node formed by those ten rooms, it's more like a fishhook that has now caught the Garden Apartment.
