Chapter 974 513: Ghosts’ Psychological Resilience Enhancement Process – 2

Following the rules is the premise of survival, but unfortunately, not all the rules favor him; rather, there are many loopholes. Otherwise, he might have been able to survive better.

While working, Yin Fenggui glanced at the barrage; there were already ghosts there talking, and quite a few other survivors who entered the "Loving Family" instance with him had already died.

Every adoptive family is different, so whether it's the rules or the environment, it's not possible to apply them directly. Apart from the consistent danger, they have no reference value.

Just like other survivors, they don't need to cook, but rather sit honestly and eat. However, the food on the table makes them feel fear; every dish is made with part of a ghost's body. Moreover, hot deceit blood is poured over the rice, seemingly left from some Blood Ghost's death.

At this time, they have to grit their teeth and eat it; otherwise, they would violate the rules. Unless you can find a way to break through without violating the rules and choose not to eat, which must be recognized by the rules, otherwise the rule of humans killing ghosts will be triggered immediately.

It's not that if you don't want to do it, it simply won't take effect.

...

"These ghosts are really cautious."

"However, it can be confirmed, *** your speculation is true; ghosts indeed know all the rules."

After Datians returned, he casually isolated the sound before speaking.

"For us, it's not a big deal. If we want to play him to death, it's quite simple." Shura said calmly.

"Fortunately, we know one thing — ghosts seem to not only want to avoid triggering the rule of humans killing ghosts on us, but also have to follow other rules for survival."

"There's quite a bit of maneuvering involved here." Datians showed a wicked smile.

"You're not planning something again, are you?" Gu Shanhai glanced up, ever since he sat down, he hadn't gotten up.

"Of course, as players, how could we not act? After all, this task has a time limit; we need to fight quickly and decisively." Datians didn't deny.

"Can you solve it?" Shura asked directly while looking at the newspaper.

The newspaper reported various news from the human world, the content is similar; nothing more than peace and prosperity using methods of reporting good news and ignoring the bad.

So it doesn't have high value. In order to collect information, Shura is very attentive, and the harvest can't be said to be nonexistent.

"I have some means, let's watch TV together later." Datians chuckled and then picked up the remote control and turned on the TV.

The TV was showing a supernatural drama series, primarily about ghost fighting.

Gu Shanhai looked up and realized one thing: the electromagnetic radiation formed when the TV is turned on creates a certain hallucinatory impact on ghosts, allowing them to be immersed in fear, even to the point of death if they can't escape.

Therefore, one of the rules Yin Fenggui needs to follow is not to get immersed in the storyline while watching TV.

After all, the plot is about ghost fighting, and if he gets immersed, he will be defeated, so he has to rely on mental resilience.

Datians must have detected some potential rules by probing Yin Fenggui; how he did it, Gu Shanhai didn't know, he was busy with research and learning and didn't have much energy for these things.

"This doesn't count as a mistake." Shura spoke up.

If Yin Fenggui refuses to watch TV, that doesn't count as a mistake, so he thought it was impossible for Datians to make Yin Fenggui make a mistake by watching TV.

He didn't know the situation with the TV; although Shura had text reminders, he could only see that the TV seemed to have some special effect on ghosts.

"Not talking while eating and not speaking while in bed, this should lead to mistakes, right?" Datians never considered having the other party make mistakes while watching TV, which wasn't highly likely.

But during the meal, if Yin Fenggui becomes overly immersed in the plot while watching TV and shouts out in fear, then a mistake occurs.

However, there are requirements; the shout must reach a certain decibel level.

"That's enough, that's enough, I have faith in you." Gu Shanhai was very optimistic about the plan Datians was about to execute; it looked very simple, but if the opponent was caught off guard, they would still fall for it.

Once caught, it means Datians can act, and this tactic can even be used multiple times.

The core tactic is distraction, fright, mistake; if successful, it could be resolved in about three days.

Ghosts don't just die one by one, but are instead brought over by someone from an orphanage the next morning.

The people from the orphanage should be real humans, only influenced by the All Ghosts Survival Platform through some means.

Gu Shanhai guessed it's likely due to the rules binding them.

'Moreover, this space seems strange; it feels more like being pulled into the Ghost World than in the real world.'

After studying "When Space No Longer Halts," he keenly became aware that the villa he was in wasn't simply divided by an Air Wall, but the entire space was split like a Rubik's Cube.

It's not easy to investigate now; at least he has to finish reading the book in his hand first.

Sharpening a knife doesn't delay chopping wood.

Otherwise, with no preparation, rushing in recklessly, he'd likely get himself killed.

"Remember to cooperate with me, otherwise performing a one-man show won't be easy." Datians could complete it alone, but a one-man show is challenging.

In this challenge, he was also not convenient to release Cui Yingying, but communication was possible as she existed within him. During this period, he was able to obtain the rules of Yin Fenggui, thanks to Cui Yingying's help; otherwise, it wouldn't have been easy relying solely on himself.

"We'll try our best to cooperate." Shura responded, the approach was to adapt to circumstances, planning had become irrelevant.

The three were not those extremely cunning people with flawless strategies; if the second challenge couldn't be solved by force, they would have started cooking the Yin Fenggui already.

Gu Shanhai had no objections to this, naturally followed along with a nod, he could only cooperate as best as he could. In his view, the difficulty of this challenge wasn't actually high. Although there were rules and constraints, they always had a physical advantage, and the ghosts couldn't resist.

Therefore, as long as they exert enough pressure on the ghosts, they would collapse on their own.

The rules give ghosts the corresponding power for self-protection, but at the same time, they become an invisible psychological burden.

While protecting ghosts, they simultaneously bind them, increasing frustration bit by bit.

If a person suddenly has to comply with numerous bizarre rules, and failing to abide by them leads to death, the pressure on this person would indeed be huge, even constantly on their mind. Over time, they might collapse under the pressure before the rules actually kill them.

Not to mention the three ogres watching with keen interest, waiting for a mistake to devour them alive.

Under multiple pressures, unless one is effectively a robot, perfectly adhering to all rules, it's impossible not to make mistakes.

After more than half an hour, Yin Fenggui laboriously brought the food onto the table, and the three of them stood up and sat down; the invisible pressure spread, causing Yin Fenggui to tremble uncontrollably.

"Come sit and eat with us." Datians looked at Yin Fenggui and said.
