"Do you know what form the ghost stories you talk about exist in?" The scavenger woman did not directly answer Wei An's question, but asked rhetorically.

This issue has been studied by the team of the Central City Administration Bureau represented by Feng Yiren. Although some key arguments are still missing, this conclusion will not be too wrong.

Wei An replied: "We believe that ghost stories are alive, not a bunch of dead rules, nor a dead thing."

The scavenger girl's eyes lit up slightly, she glanced at Wei An, nodded and said: "You have also realized that Guitan has its own thoughts. Although sometimes this kind of thought may be very single, but even if it is a single creature, you can know its

What was your first thought?”

Vian pondered for a moment, then said: "Alive."

"Yes, alive." The scavenger woman said: "Me too. Now I just want to live a better life. The operation and development of this city completely conforms to my ideas. This is my happiest feeling."

After a pause, she continued: "The same is true for other strange rules. Their existence has only one purpose, to live better. But as aliens in your eyes, we no longer exude the aura of alien rules all the time. If this aura reaches you

space, even if the ghost story itself cannot actually pass through, the space that spreads out

These breaths will also temporarily absorb the people there. At this time, these people are given the role of 'participants'. Of course, there are other words, such as 'intruders'. The participants will enter the weird story we have arranged a long time ago,

Through experiencing these tasks, their sense of strangeness and the fear that arises in their hearts are revealed."

】

When the scavenger girl said this, Wei An suddenly felt shocked and blurted out: "So you feed on these weird perceptions and fears?"

The scavenger girl nodded: "The death of the participants is the result of side effects. The closer the sense of weirdness and fear generated when death is, the greater the nourishment and growth of ghost stories will be. But I now realize that this is not absolute, at least for me

After all the participants in this strange story get out alive, they will have a second chance to come in and provide me with a steady stream of nourishment, and compared to killing the participants at once, the difference in getting nourishment is not that big."

"The rewards you get after completing tasks..." Wei An frowned and said.

Before he could finish speaking, the scavenger girl already knew what he was going to ask and replied: "Specific rewards, such as weapons and equipment, such as energy points, are not given by me. That is a bigger rule."

"Bigger rules?" Wei An was surprised.

The scavenger girl nodded: "We can live well because we follow this larger rule. We can customize tasks for participants to complete, and during this period, they provide us with weird and frightening feelings, nourishing our ability to live.

Better. And the bigger rule is to randomly allocate rewards according to the task level, whether it is equipment or energy points. As far as I know now, it wants to achieve a balance between us and other spaces."

At this point, the problem that Wei An had been having difficulty with was finally solved.

Although he still didn't know what the upper level rules of Kaitan were, he had already figured out the living rules of Kaitan. They actually just wanted to survive and survive better.

This reminds me of my father Wei Zhengdong's ability. After Wei Zhengdong entered the dark gap space between the weird world and the human world, a bridge was built, allowing the aura of alien rules that were no longer in the weird world to flow into the human world, pulling

Only those participants can enter the ghost story, but the entire ghost story rules can enter the human world, forming a series of low-level ghost stories in the human world.

Therefore, Dad's ability is really weird, even weirder than the ghost talk itself. It can even be said that Wei Zhengdong's ability is almost able to compete with the rules above the ghost talk, which makes most of the ghost talks unable to bear it.

Pick him up.

However, Wei An feels that the large-scale ghost story currently being cracked by the strongest investigation team may have much more contact with upper-level rules than other ordinary ghost stories. That is to say, when cracking this large-scale ghost story, maybe we can get a glimpse of some rules above the ghost story.

information.

But now the scavenger girl here, the city's ghost stories that she controls as a rule are actually fundamentally different from the way that the ghost story rules directly embody the weirdness. The scavenger girl was originally a weirdo, because she has evolved beyond the ghost story rules itself, so she can master this place.

.

Other ghost stories are still the weirdness controlled by rules. At most, this rule has the power to materialize one's own figure, such as the faceless old woman in the "Long Lamp (Locked Door and Yizhuang)" ghost story.

She is the manifestation of the Kaidan rules itself, not the real essence, so her strength is much inferior to that of the scavenger girl.

But if the ability of the ghost story is stronger, the ability to manifest one's own body will be stronger. There is no guarantee that there will not be a higher level ghost story. When the ghost story materializes its own rules, it will be almost the same as the scavenger girl, and it may even take

higher.

"I just want to survive and develop better, and I have caused as few participants to die as possible." At this time, the scavenger woman said softly.

She just looks a bit rougher, and she has always been slovenly. She is a real scavenger, but in Wei An's opinion, this powerful monster is much better than other monsters.

All this is due to the terrifying nature of the scavenger girl herself, which has surpassed the evolution speed of the ghost story rules themselves.

Now Wei An has a bigger goal, which is to try to solve the large-scale strange story and see if it is connected to higher-level rules, and what exactly are the upper-level rules.

"Although we are in two camps, there is no conflict in our existence at this moment." Wei An explained to the scavenger girl Kuan: "You don't need to think too much. Sometimes our understanding of the world alone is actually very simple. We need the cooperation of both parties in order to have a better understanding of the world."

A comprehensive understanding of the unknown.”

The scavenger girl smiled and nodded: "As long as I am here and not when the old ghost appears, this city will be open to you at any time. Now you can also walk around and feel how the rules work here, and you can even do it at any time

Observe the scenario tasks that Paper Man, Ashes to Ashes, and Lying Corpse are running."

When he said this, Wei An suddenly had an idea. He stood up and pointed in the direction of Lin Rui outside the building.

"It takes a lot of trouble to come to you. I can't come often. But I have a favor that I may need you to do for me. The young man sitting in the car just now is a junior of mine. He may need to come to your city temporarily.

I wonder if it’s okay to stay here for a while?”

The scavenger girl was a little surprised.

Wei An added: "I won't hide it from you. Someone may be against him, but if he lives here, with his ability to hide his aura and your city-level weird talk, it will be difficult to find that person.

Done.”

Although Wei An didn't say it clearly, the scavenger girl already smiled. She knew that Wei An wanted to let her protect the young man outside.

"No problem." The scavenger girl was very happy, "I can arrange a place for him to live and have the status of a resident of this city. If it is inconvenient for you to come often, we can still meet in the dream. Your dream is actually still there.

There’s a lot to look out for and explore.”

Wei An also nodded readily: "As long as I fall asleep and open the dream, you are welcome to come at any time."
