Aoba Office

"Huh?" I looked at Qin Shu doubtfully.

Qin Shu explained: "When you go to another place to find a job, a local will lose a job opportunity. If you settle down there, a house there will be rented or sold to you, a foreigner. House prices may rise. And for marriage, you may not marry a local woman, but you may get married there, and your wife and children will settle there.”

"Most people will just regard this as a normal population movement. However, some people will feel unbalanced because of it." I added.

"For them, moving and killing people is the same as moving and settling down for us."

"They're going to conflict with each other." I thought about the successor to the new thing that was killed off.

To be precise, those who were besieged and died by the Ghost King should be the successors of the new things.

"But to them, our 'positions' do not have 'human rights'. We are not human beings at all!" Qin Shu said excitedly, "When you are looking for a job, you will consider whether the job itself is willing to let you Come do it? Who would think so?"

I looked at Qin Shu blankly.

I didn't expect that he took a turn and wanted to explain this to me.

I actually knew the Ghost King's temperament earlier than he did. That is, they each have their own way of doing things and have completely different personalities, but essentially they all have one thing in common, which is what Qin Shu just said, not treating people as human beings.

Not only do they not regard living people in the real world as human beings, they also do not regard living people in the future world who were once like themselves as human beings.

As Qin Shu said before, he has not seen the complete future world. It is impossible for anyone to say that they have seen a complete world, seen every aspect and corner of a world, and met every person in this world. But sometimes, one's own experience makes people make the most basic judgments.

I have seen more than a dozen ghost kings. There are inconspicuous little characters like Song Zang, and there are also extremely powerful ghost kings like Mr. Yang, a ghost in ancient costume who has existed for thousands of years. Each of them did not regard living people as human beings. All living people in the two worlds are indistinguishable to them.

The living are merely tools for their use.

It's like playing a computer game, making some actions to influence the NPC group in the game, allowing them to react according to their own ideas and game rules.

How much emotion can players invest in those NPCs?

If it is a real-time strategy game, and the NPCs are all soldiers produced in a group of buildings, how much affection can players have towards these NPCs?

I looked at Qin Shu who was angry and frightened, "I know. I know about this."

Qin Shu breathed out, looked at me, and then behind him.

The child did not follow.

"He's like that too."

"He's not now. At least... not completely like that." I said, "Even ghost kings have humanity. It's just that their humanity is very simple and not that complicated."

Qin Shu's expression at this moment was very complicated.

My statement, and even my thoughts, seemed to be on the side of the Ghost King.

I found that I had no hatred for the Ghost King.

When Wang Jiajia was killed before, it was just because keeping her would be a disaster. She's not a child, she's the King of Ghosts, which means she probably has the ability to kill me.

I killed her for safety reasons and to avoid unnecessary entanglements.

Totally rational.

I looked into the distance and could vaguely see the remains of some skyscrapers.

There are no other buildings, only a solitary section of building, just like a flag planted on the ground.

I suddenly thought of Ye Qing.

Did Ye Qing feel the same way when he planned to have all of Qingye's people killed?

Maybe he was in this mood before that.

He also became a ghost after all. It is also very possible that he was killed in the future world and turned into a ghost here.

His body was never found.

It's like Tang Yu's soul is missing now.

"There should be survivors over there." I called Qin Shu.

Qin Shu's attitude towards me was a little alienated.

"I..." I was about to speak, but stopped.

My body remains in the real world.

If I enter a dream now, how can I get back here?

The coordinates... to put it more vividly, it should be the anchor that stabilizes my soul, it is gone.

I'm afraid I can't use the methods I'm most accustomed to to find out what's going on in this world.

"What's wrong?" Qin Shu asked, looking around cautiously.

"It's nothing. I suddenly remembered something... I don't think I can wait over there." I muttered to myself.

I have an understanding of my mission, but I haven't thought clearly about how to accomplish it.

"Let's go to Yangshan first. If we can find Cheng Jiu... Cheng Lin... we should be able to figure something out." I said to Qin Shu.

"That's your friend?"

"No. One is the Ghost King, and the other is the Ghost King's son." I shook my head.

"Is this it again?" Qin Shu frowned and then relaxed his brows.

"Don't worry, I don't have any plot. I just know more about this place than you do." I smiled, "Do you know the history here?"

Qin Shu shook his head, "I heard Wang Jiajia say something. She talked about things related to the Heavenly Master and the legend about the Pure Land."

"How did the Heavenly Master come? Is there any earliest record?" I asked.

"No. It's just a legend passed down by word of mouth, saying that they were born because of the oppression of the Ghost King. Geniuses are born among ordinary people, and the genius's blood can be passed down, and there are heavenly masters."

Somewhat like a capable person.

Maybe the power user's ability does not come from heredity, but because of the difference in soul.

I think of Liu Che.

Liu Che and his companions could control monsters... At that time, monsters were still common.

"She didn't say anything about the monster?" I asked again.

Qin Shu shook his head again and said hesitantly: "She rarely mentioned it. If she heard about monsters on the road, she would try her best to avoid them. I think she is very afraid of monsters and avoids talking about it."

The monsters are definitely from the real world.

"Did she say anything about the underworld?"

"Yes, I said it. She originally wanted to go to our place, to enter the underworld and work as a ghost servant..." Qin Shu's mouth twitched, "I thought that being caught in the game world was the biggest adventure in my life. ”

"Heh... if only that were the case."

"Yes. If we die there, there won't be so many things." Qin Shu sighed, "Now, even if we win, if we go back... Minqing is over?"

"Yeah. It will get better." I didn't introduce my abilities.

Qin Shu just smiled forcefully, "I always feel like there is no end in sight. It's so hopeless... I originally thought I could go back. When I saw you and heard you say that Min Qing was gone..."

"But you won't die like this." I stopped and turned my head.

Qin Shu followed me and turned his head, slowly opening his eyes.

On the horizon, a small figure can be seen.

Sure enough he followed.

"This is a survival instinct." I said.

Goodnight everybody.
