Physical persuasion, scientific transcendence [unlimited]

After Wen Youning stuffed an apple into the pale woman's mouth, she didn't finish.

The young man, Song Lingdi and Zhao Min watched helplessly as he reached out and grabbed the pale woman's elbow, and dragged the guy out from behind the curtain, who couldn't tell whether it was a human or a monster.

The pale woman wanted to scream, but was blocked by the apple and couldn't make any sound at all.

With a loud "bang", the pale woman fell to the floor hard.

The influence of the urge to repeat the babbling "it's night, time to sleep" that has been lingering in my ears just now has also subconsciously disappeared.

The group rental house that had become weird unknowingly just now suddenly returned to normal.

Song Lingdi was even surprised to find that the pale woman's strangely distorted face seemed to have returned to its original state.

The middle-aged woman who had been shaking her face suddenly let out an exclamation when she saw this, and immediately came out of the narrow partition space of her own house.

While reaching out to pull the pale woman who was sitting paralyzed on the ground, she gave Wen Youning a hard look, and reprimanded, "Hey, what are you doing? What's wrong with you young man? Are you a man, just bullying here? Orphans and widows, so many people nearby don’t care! Why are you arguing, and it’s delaying the children’s homework!”

The skinny middle-aged man stood still, but he could see that he was fidgeting.

It was the thirteen or fourteen-year-old kid, who was turning around with a pen in his hand, with excited eyes, looking at Wen Youning and the others who had just had a conflict.

Zhao Min said in his heart, that child of yours really doesn't look like he will be delayed from doing his homework.

At this time, the arm of the pale woman that Wen Youning pulled just now had a large and terrifying bruise.

She lowered her face, and her messy long black hair almost covered most of her face. She couldn't see the specific expression at all, but from the slightly trembling shoulders and faint sobs, she guessed that she was crying in despair. .

Wen Youning has been staring at this pale woman, obviously just now she was a monster with strange shape, but now, she has become an innocent and weak person being bullied.

Was the reason for the change the attack that just dragged the person out and threw him to the ground?

Song Lingdi and Zhao Min also walked to Wen Youning's side immediately.

As for the young man who was still wearing the peaked cap and sunglasses indoors, he did the same thing as the middle-aged woman opposite.

He stretched out his hand and pulled Wen Youning's arm back, while persuading him with nice words: "Okay, okay, brother, don't be angry, although she seemed to find fault on purpose just now, but she might have bumped into her by accident. , don’t be angry, don’t be angry, everyone take a step back, don’t take this seriously!”

After the young man's words attracted everyone's attention, Wen Youning took the opportunity to quickly glance at the bed behind the pale woman just now.

——The baby who was only a few months old was still sleeping soundly, but from Wen Youning's current angle, he couldn't see his face.

It's just that there was such a big commotion just now, and the baby inside didn't show any sign of being woken up at all, didn't it cry or make noise at all?

It's not easy to go up to observe now, but Wen Youning always has this matter in his heart.

The young man next to him who just came to smooth things over raised his head and smiled heartily at the middle-aged woman opposite, "Sister, please persuade and comfort this girl, her behavior just now is indeed easy to be misunderstood. , peace is the most important thing, don't be angry."

Seeing this, the middle-aged woman sized Wen Youning up in surprise, and then looked at the pale woman who had kept her head down and said nothing. For a moment, she was a little uncertain as to who instigated the incident just now.

However, when others tried to persuade them to fight, how could they first distinguish between right and wrong?

Seeing the young man's words swearing, as if the pale woman had really done something to anger Wen Youning, the middle-aged woman swallowed all the reprimands that were on her lips for a while, and said softly: "It's a hot day, you're very angry, don't be angry."

Immediately after being interrupted, Wen Youning, who didn't say anything anymore, was "dragged" back to him by the young man.

The young man also smiled and said, "I'll cook."

Wen Youning slightly opened his eyes wide: "..."

It seemed that he was even less energetic in an instant.

Song Lingdi immediately started to pack the things they just bought, and Zhao Min also helped.

The young man quickly took the pot from Song Lingdi and unpacked the dried noodles he bought today.

Wen Youning was silent for a moment, but still made a gesture with the other two, and then followed directly.

Basically, there is no serious kitchen in the group rental house. There is only a balcony layout of only two meters square, with an exhaust fan installed, which is used as a makeshift kitchen.

The four of Wen Youning went over, and the young man was busy boiling noodles on the induction cooker.

The sound of cooking in the "kitchen" is extremely frequent and noisy. Under this background sound, it is difficult to hear the specific content of the conversation if you stand a little farther away.

Wen Youning looked at Song Lingdi, and quickly asked, "Did Xiao Song see the baby in that bunk just now?"

Song Lingdi was slightly taken aback, and shook her head quickly, "I saw that woman, her face suddenly became very strange, but after she fell to the floor, the change on her face disappeared again—"

Speaking of this, Song Lingdi was slightly taken aback.

No, wait!

In fact, she didn't even see the pale woman's face from the front!

Thinking of this, Song Lingdi instantly felt a creepy feeling, "I, I just now - her hair blocked her face, I didn't see her expression at all, but I vaguely felt that she had returned to normal."

After a pause, Song Lingdi's voice trembled slightly: "Is it a hallucination, or an illusion?"

Wen Youning shook his head lightly, "I didn't see her later appearance, but where is the size of the apple..."

The apple that Wen Youning took in his hand just now was aimed directly at the monster.

The mouth size of a normal human being is not enough to directly insert that big apple.

Zhao Min was also startled, "Do you think that woman is still in the state of a monster?"

Wen Youning said softly, "She didn't drop the apple on the ground, did she?"

The young man who was wondering if a pack of 500 grams of dried noodles would be suitable for four people to put in the pot all at once, also turned around and said: "When the monster was urging people to sleep, the middle-aged woman's family Three bites, it seems that there is no response at all."

Wen Youning: "The takeaway guy who was arguing with someone before didn't even open the door."

Zhao Min was stunned and said in shock: "That is to say, when that woman turned into a monster, it only affected us?"

As he spoke, he glanced at his mental value, and sure enough, it dropped by 4 points directly.

Zhao Min suddenly worried and said: "Meeting monsters will lower the spiritual value. It's really not easy to deal with. At least I have to be mentally prepared during the day. When I sleep at night, I will be approached by monsters unknowingly, and my spiritual value will drop. I don't even know..."

That kind of situation is simply scary to think about.

This time, it was Song Lingdi who was surprised and said, "Wait, my mental value hasn't dropped just now."

Wen Youning said slowly: "I lowered it by 1 point, probably because I stayed here for another half an hour."

The young man nodded, "Me too..."

Zhao Min asked in surprise, "Aren't you both scared by that monster?"

Wen Youning shook his head, "This time the monster's attack power should be mainly concentrated in that weird repetitive sound, but the body itself is very weak."

Humanoid monsters that are too easy to fight have no deterrent effect at all.

Song Lingdi shook her head and said, "But, I don't even lose the 1 point of mental strength that normally decreases according to time in the group rented house."

The three people present were stunned at the same time.

Wen Youning looked directly at the clothes in Song Lingdi's hand.

——From just now to now, because I don’t know what to do with those "some kind of unknown debris", and this thing will mutagenize monsters, so Song Lingdi has always held it in his hand and never left his body .

Zhao Min frowned, and said in astonishment: "The effect of carrying this thing is that it doesn't lower your mental value!?"

Wen Youning shook his head, "How can it be so simple. Although it can be immune to the slow decline in mental value caused by the harsh environment of the group rental house itself, but at the same time, this thing will gradually make the 'normal people' around them go crazy."

Even, whether this thing will have any other functions and influences is currently completely unknown...

Song Lingdi smiled wryly and said, "Don't let yourself become a monster, but will everything around you turn into a monster... I don't know which one is more terrifying."

Wen Youning: "Give me one, let me see."

Song Lingdi immediately untied the temporary simple package knotted with a suit jacket.

Because of repeated kneading and knotting, the originally straight sleeves have become crumpled.

Wen Youning, who was meticulous and particular about every part of his body, took a look at his jacket that had turned into pickled vegetables, and was unmoved at all. He casually took a ball of cinder jelly from it, and gently pinched it with his fingers.

It has the same Q-bomb texture as jelly, and the weight is very light and fluffy.

He took this thing as a slime and pinched it for a while, then turned around and saw the induction cooker that was making noises, suddenly had an idea, and suddenly thought: "In addition to the feel and weight, this thing actually looks more like coal balls." ?”

Zhao Min said in astonishment, "You want to burn it?"

Wen Youning shook his head, "Don't be in a hurry for now, I'll talk about it later. I just suddenly thought that this thing fell after the hallucination monster was broken up. So, can we treat it as a realized hallucination?"

According to the interpretation of mental value, the most prominent feature of low mental value is hallucinations.

Song Lingdi couldn't figure it out a bit, "It stands to reason that the more hallucinations I come into contact with, the faster my spiritual value will drop, right? Why, my spiritual value has not continued to decrease?"

Wen Youning can't think of a definite answer at the moment, but based on his own understanding, he gave a guess: "If a person is completely hallucinated and there is nothing real around him, then his mental value should be 0. However, when the mental value is 0, people will not die. Even, if there is a way to restore the mental value, perhaps, the person whose mental value is 0 may be saved.”

Zhao Min: "Yes, I also remember that people will die only when their health points are cleared."

Wen Youning: "That is to say, the hallucinations that can appear in this live broadcast scene are likely to have a frequency. When this thing is around, as a realized hallucination, the influence of other hallucinations on people is reduced instead."

After thinking about it, Wen Youning added: "Of course, it's also because this cinder jelly ball doesn't look very scary. If it grows into other weird and weird shapes, it may not have the current effect."

Amidst the conversation between you and me, half of the young man's pot of noodles was finally ready.

Young man: "Let's go, let's go eat first! We'll find a bed later, maybe someone will come back later, when the time comes, the rest will be ours."

Wen Youning glanced at the noodles a little listlessly, and then said, "We still have a clue."

The three teammates were taken aback: "What clue?"

Wen Youning: "Before the scene was refreshed, the four of us were in four different rooms, and no one's bed was in the living room."

A few people suddenly realized.

Song Lingdi gave a soft "ah", "In the room converted from the kitchen, there is indeed only one bed that looks like a girl."

Wen Youning: "I share a room with that delivery boy."

The young man and Zhao Min also immediately had a clear location in the house.

Young man: "Then we should be about the same, wait and see. Let's go, eat first, and see how much we can recover."

·

In the conference room on the [-]th floor of the real world, Fat Brother, who was already helping to compile data from every other live broadcast room, suddenly let out an exclamation.

"In this studio, is the layout of the house exactly the same as Ningning's scene!?"

Cha Cha, Director Wang and the others looked over immediately.

Director Wang: "What studio?"

Fat Brother directly turned the laptop in front of him in a different direction, pointed the screen at Director Wang and the others, and said puzzledly: "In this live broadcast room, there is another person in it, and his scene in the live broadcast room is also called [cage Room】."

Chacha took a glance, "The layout of the houses in the village in the city is exactly the same, but the specific furnishings are different. This should be in the same building as Brother Ning and the others—"

Chacha's eyes were also sharp, and her eyes suddenly fixed on a piece of the dark and gloomy picture.

"In this group rental house, the pattern of the wooden partitions is almost exactly the same as that of Ning Ge's house."

After a pause, Chacha blurted out: "This live broadcast room is probably the upstairs floor of Ning Ge's group!"
