Chapter 190: Consideration
Chapter 190: Consideration
Song Que is a man who thinks highly of himself.

With good birth, excellent looks, smart brain, and even athletic ability, he is far superior to ordinary people.

Moreover, his eyes are naturally different from others.

After understanding this, Song Que naturally came up with the idea that... if reality is a book, then he would be the protagonist.

In fact, his life was developing just as he had imagined. No matter what he did, he was better than others. Everything went smoothly and he achieved twice the result with half the effort.

Until... the day the door opens.

Song Que will always remember that day. The panic came inexplicably. When he pushed open the door and entered the room, he had already arrived in Wu Ji in a daze.

It's funny to say, but at first he felt not fear but excitement about Wu Ji's existence!

Song Que, who has read many fantasy books, understands the development of this kind of story, such as upgrading, fighting monsters, strengthening abilities, and then transcending the world and gaining eternal life.

He even felt that he was really the protagonist of the world!

However... the first mission completely killed his fantasy.

Originally, Song Que didn’t believe that ghosts existed at all. If such things really existed, shouldn’t the order of the human world have collapsed long ago?
But when he saw the "senior" beside him being eaten alive by a spider-like evil spirit with limbs all over its body, he was finally terrified.

After that, he went through great pains and with the help of his companions, he managed to survive the first mission.

After leaving Wu Ji, Song Que mobilized the power of his family to inquire about information about ghosts.

He even spent a lot of money to hire many "experts".

The "experts" say some mysterious and specious words, which sound reasonable at first, but are all correct nonsense if you think about it carefully.

Later, all the information he collected told him that there was no supernatural power in this world!
The so-called spells, Taoist magic, talismans, holy water... are all useless. No matter whether you pray to gods or Buddhas, or seek immortals and practice Taoism, apart from gaining some peace of mind, they have no effect at all on the ghosts concentrated in the fog!
During that time, Song Que was very desperate.

Could it be... that my life will end in that strange space?
Song Que didn't believe in it. He continued to investigate Wu Ji and information related to ghosts in reality. This time, he really found out something!
Originally, the world was ordinary and there was nothing unusual.

But since ten years ago, rumors of ghost stories have gradually increased in every city.

It's like... Pandora's box has been opened.

Song Que cares a lot about this, and he has recently made some progress.

But now... he may not have the chance to continue investigating.

……

"Is it Song Que?!"

Qi Nian heard the cry for help coming from downstairs.

Bai Yanliang nodded, "Yeah, I heard that too."

Seeing that Bai Yanliang was unmoved, Qi Nian didn't know what to do for a moment.

Unlike Bai Yanliang's previous situation, Song Que was now obviously desperate and panicked.

Shouting for help was an extremely stupid act. If Song Que remained calm, he would never have done that.

Bai Yanliang glanced at Qi Nian and said, "He is stalling for time."

Qi Nian was stunned, then immediately opened his mobile phone and checked the time.

There are only three minutes left until the end of the second round!
"He was still able to call for help, which means the ghost failed to kill him immediately. So, he hid in a closed space. Although he is fine for the time being, he is trapped by the ghost. Secondly, he must have known that shouting for help is counterproductive. So, his cries were not for us to hear, but... for the ghost." Bai Yanliang lowered his eyes, as if he saw the situation downstairs.

"The ghost he met was probably not the rotten ghost. Yuan Jie died in the last round of the game, so I think the ghost Song Que met was him." Bai Yanliang whispered his guess. Qi Nian listened carefully to Bai Yanliang's analysis and thought about it.

What Bai Yanliang said did make sense. Song Que's shouting seemed like a desperate struggle, but it did have other purposes.

Because even if it was her, after hearing Song Que's irrational cry for help, she would most likely not choose to rescue him.

So, Song Que was not calling for help, but inviting ghosts!
"Could it be that... he thinks that the rotting evil spirit and the evil spirit suspected to be 'Yuan Jie' have different positions? Will they conflict with each other?"

Qi Nian expressed his doubts softly.

Bai Yanliang shook his head slightly, "I don't know, so he is trying his luck. Moreover, there is another advantage to doing this, that is, the evil spirits that are besieging him may stop temporarily after hearing his cry for help."

"Why?" Qi Nian didn't quite understand what Bai Yanliang meant.

Bai Yanliang smiled and said, "Many times, humans and ghosts have the same psychology, just like just now, the ghost was tricked by us into going down the slide. To use an inappropriate analogy, if you were a criminal police officer, and you and your colleagues had surrounded a criminal, and he called his accomplices to rescue him, what would you do?"

Qi Nian's eyes lit up, "I will let him go for now, and not even put any pressure on him. I will wait for his accomplices to come and then catch them all in one fell swoop!"

"Right." Bai Yanliang flexed his fingers. "Ghost, I probably think so too."

Qi Nian finally solved the doubts.

She also understood why Bai Yanliang remained unmoved just now.

First, it was indeed too dangerous, and second, there were only three minutes left, and the probability of rescuing Song Que from the evil spirit within three minutes was infinitely close to zero.

Obviously Song Que also understood this point, so... his seemingly desperate cry was actually to save himself!
Bai Yanliang turned his head and looked out the window again.

Whether Song Que can delay three minutes for himself depends on his luck.

But Bai Yanliang was thinking about something else.

Something...that was ignored by everyone because of the weirdness of this time.

Understand language.

The interpretation of this mission is eight words: "It is difficult to distinguish the real from the fake, and the true from the false."

So far, the rotting ghost has not shown any ability to disguise itself as someone else. It seems to be searching for hiders only by sight and hearing.

Moreover, its vision and hearing are in the same range as humans, so they are not too outrageous.

At the same time, it does not have the ability to perceive and see through.

Apart from knowing that it can ignore gravity and crawl on walls, nothing else is known about its abilities.

So what does “difficult to distinguish the real from the fake” mean?
Who is fake and who is real?

Where is true and where is false?
and many more……

Bai Yanliang suddenly thought of a feature of the text structure.

These eight words seem to be a typical parallel structure.

If these words...are split and reassembled, they become "false and real are hard to distinguish."

Bai Yanliang's eyes lit up and he understood.
