I Don't Agree to the Terms

Chapter 968 510: Beneath the Truth, Who Is the Real Angler? (Part 2)

Whether the Ghost World is invading the human world through the All Ghosts Survival Platform or the human world is laying a trap to destroy this ghostly hope, Gu Shanhai is unsure, as there is an Air Wall outside the apartment blocking his investigation.

Unable to gather more information, he naturally adopts a laissez-faire attitude, planning to grab whatever he can when the opportunity arises.

This instance is too bizarre, causing Gu Shanhai to be even more low-key, avoiding using his normal power unless absolutely necessary.

"I've tried it, actually, it's breakable, but forcibly doing so is not a good idea," said Great Heavenly Rank directly. He had tried it but not with full power; after a simple probe revealed issues, he didn't pursue it further.

"The backlash is strong enough to possibly kill me," Shura added. He had also attempted it lightly without full power, and his keen combat intuition sensed danger.

Thus, Gu Shanhai was the only one present who hadn't tried.

If Gu Shanhai went for it, breaking it would be easy, and the backlash wouldn't matter to him, but doing so would be too conspicuous, which was unsuitable, so he didn't bother.

He had roughly studied the protection time but wasn't as focused as Shura to deduce the underlying origin; he simply collected some data, like ideas for creating shields, and didn't pursue it further.

"Don't look at me, I'm not a combat-type profession, of course I haven't tried," Gu Shanhai shrugged, indicating he wouldn't bother with such things.

The two couldn't help but chuckle, with Shura believing Gu Shanhai might have sensed danger ahead of time and thus chose to ignore it.

Gu Shanhai follows the Heavenly Mechanism Flow, his mastery far surpasses theirs.

"Alright, then we must make preparations in advance, at least we need to transform the entire apartment into a strategic location," Shura said calmly.

"Actually, with those bombs *** planted here, this place is already strategic enough," Great Heavenly Rank joked, but then offered a substantial idea: "We can ally with the NPCs here; they are humans and would compare to supreme Martial Gods against ghosts."

"I'm afraid that's not possible. Based on my investigation, ever since we moved in, the residents have been gradually leaving due to various reasons. If I'm not mistaken, by the tenth day, we might be the only ones left in the apartment." Shura had foreseen this solution.

Great Heavenly Rank wasn't responsible for this part of the strategy, so it's normal for him to be unaware.

Residents have been leaving day after day due to family visits, company overtime, going back to hometown for matchmaking, and many other reasons. If not for Shura's text reminders, he wouldn't have realized this ahead of time through various data.

"From this situation, it can be ascertained that humans are indeed a catastrophic existence for ghosts. Thus, from certain aspects, this is a unilateral suppression by the human world on the Ghost World. A regular person entering the Ghost World can plunge it into great turmoil and crisis," Gu Shanhai reminded.

"But aren't we human too?" Great Heavenly Rank started to say, only to be interrupted by Shura.

"No, we're not humans of this world. We can suppress ghosts simply because their power is weak, whereas ours is strong."

"Theoretically, we're not the same species as the humans of this world."

Shura formed this speculation through text reminders and understood the differences.

"I see, the humans of this world can become supreme Martial Gods in the Ghost World, while we cannot. This accounts for the danger," Great Heavenly Rank comprehended the reasons.

"So what do you plan to do next?" Gu Shanhai didn't want to think and directly asked.

"Fight. What else can we do? The three of us can't manage to deal with the protection time while ensuring our own safety; we'll have to wait for the opportunity," Great Heavenly Rank's words may sound casual, but this was indeed the best solution, especially without technological support, force was the best measure.

"From now on, let's stop playing around; resolve the ghosts coming for training quickly, then assist me in setting up defense measures," Shura's words were directed at Great Heavenly Rank.

As for Gu Shanhai, Shura didn't make arrangements. On one hand, Gu Shanhai had already demonstrated his value; as a logistician, his outputs were remarkable, and calling on him again might not necessarily help.

Not to mention the attributes and permanent gains from the food consumed these days, these had already been a significant benefit for Shura and Great Heavenly Rank.

Even if this thing was easy for Gu Shanhai, its value wasn't measured by effort but by actual value.

No matter how effortless it was for Gu Shanhai, he provided significant help to them.

"Alright, I'll handle it quickly, but how about your bombs, ***?" Great Heavenly Rank knew Gu Shanhai's bombs posed a considerable threat.

Not only could they threaten the upcoming crisis, but they could also threaten them, acting as a double-edged sword.

While useful, they could also harm themselves.

With these bombs, even without specialization in firepower or demolition, they could apply corresponding firepower suppression.

The small issue is whether dismantling them risks collapsing the apartment.

As for the indiscriminate impact, that's simple. Just throw them from a distance, with bombs already in hand, Shura and Great Heavenly Rank aren't foolish enough to go close combat.

They're combat professions, not restricted to melee tactics. When there's a better and more convenient method, they'll naturally choose it, rather than foolishly engaging in battle.

As players, seeking profit is inevitable, as it's inherently a form of gain.

The two wouldn't be affected by using external items leading to the collapse of their moral compass or stagnation in power. Modern players rely on the "First Epoch" to strengthen themselves, even if they have a moral compass; it's simply a skill or talent, not a limitation whatsoever.

"Feel free to use them; I intended them to flip the table, and now's the perfect time to use them," Gu Shanhai didn't mind, having set them up as a precaution. If something went wrong, he'd blow the entire apartment sky-high.

"Don't worry about the structure; I calculated it. Even if you take out everything, it's fine, as long as you don't damage most of the load-bearing structures."

Gu Shanhai optimized the apartment's structure, especially the load-bearing part, he had sorted it out.

"Geez, you're a lot craftier than us," Shura marveled. He initially thought they were just for blowing up the apartment but realized enemies were foreseen too.

Indeed, relying on auxiliary and life systems alone, becoming a top player, although seemingly indifferent, everything had already been arranged.

"Not at all, no match for you two," Gu Shanhai's words weren't humility; when it comes to craftiness, these two are plenty, especially Great Heavenly Rank, with Cui Yingying, it's double the craftiness.

The two didn't refute it, as it was indeed praise.

After discussing some details, the three dispersed according to the plan.

The plan was rough, but the execution was strong, as long as there's a general outline, it's fine. No need to worry about plans not keeping up with changes; communication is straightforward, not like they can't get in touch.

"Sharpening one's axe before chopping wood truly doesn't waste time," Gu Shanhai murmured, realizing that the previous two's carefree attitudes were more like a disguise for swiftly gathering the necessary information, culminating in a deadly strike.
