Rules Strange Talk: They Say I Have Multiple Personalities

Holiday, the world of ghost stories

"Brother, we are on vacation, and the boss asked us to go out and have fun, but I have nowhere to go. Can I stay at your place for a long time?"

Zhou Zimo stood at the door of the shabby little rental house.

Zhou Ziping had just got home from get off work and was surprised to see him suddenly. However, after hearing what Zhou Zimo said, he immediately looked worried.

After thinking for a moment, he walked forward and opened the door, "Then wait a moment, I'll move first."

This place is too shabby. It’s okay if I live here by myself, as it’s just a place to sleep. But if my younger brother wants to live here, this is definitely not the right place.

There was no room in the room, so Zhou Zimo could only stand at the door and watch Zhou Ziping clean up.

Zhou Ziping could live in a better house, but he always wanted to save money. Now he is willing to move. Zhou Zimo agrees in his heart, but he did not express his opinion.

All decisions are left to Zhou Ziping to make on his own, and he will not interfere no matter what Zhou Ziping does.

"By the way, Xiao Mo, there are ghosts everywhere here. Will you feel uncomfortable if you stay here for a long time?"

"No, I have upgraded to an elite and can ignore ghost energy."

"Elite, that sounds awesome."

Seeing that he was interested, Zhou Zimo gave him some basic knowledge.

"The Space-Time Bureau is mainly divided by strength. The most powerful person in the One-Qian Division is Yuan Qian. He is the captain and also the general."

"The second is the vice-captain, whose overall ability is second only to the captain."

"The One-Qian Division has a mission department and a general department."

"The mission department has many sub-teams, which can be summarized as battalions, squadrons, and teams. They are mainly assigned different missions based on their different strengths."

"The generals' department is mainly focused on combat, similar to the army."

"The elites are those who have passed the task assessment of a certain difficulty, and also passed the leadership assessment. There are positions on both sides."

"To put it simply, you have to complete the battle plan while doing the mission. This requires a strong mental strength, precise calculations and means to take care of both ends at the same time, and you have never made a mistake, so you are called an elite."

"The elites are also divided into different strengths, which can be roughly divided into small, medium, and large."

"The strength of the Great Elite is second only to the General, on par with the Deputy General, and the strategy is second only to the Vice Captain."

While Zhou Zimo was giving a science lecture, Zhou Ziping had already packed his luggage, which was not much to begin with.

He carried the quilt and bucket on his back, smiling sincerely, "My brother has become so powerful now, so I don't have to worry about you being bullied."

Zhou Zimo stretched out his hand to take the thing from him, but pulled his hand back halfway.

"I shouldn't have worried, but you..."

How are you going to survive if you don’t adapt to the rules of survival?

Stability is something you can only think about after you have gained a certain level of strength and survived safely.

I just hope you can try to survive for me.

How can I help you, brother, if you are unwilling to move forward?

Zhou Ziping noticed that Zhou Zimo was hesitant to speak, but he smiled calmly and said,

"My brother can earn money to support himself, and you don't have to worry about me."

After that, he carefully walked down the stairs carrying his things, "It's dark here without any lights, Xiao Mo, be careful where you step, don't miss a step."

"I can see at night."

“So amazing.”

"If you have strong mental strength, you can do it. I can see the surrounding environment clearly."

"That's really convenient. I don't have to worry about falling at night."

“Do you wrestle at night?”

"That won't happen. Ghosts are most adapted to darkness and can sense obstacles around them."

The two of them left the small shabby building while chatting.

Zhou Ziping took Zhou Zimo to the apartment in town.

This apartment is run by a big ghost who is very majestic, so the security here is guaranteed and will not be disturbed by some small ghosts.

But the prices here will also be higher.

Zhou Ziping paid two months' rent without hesitation.

Because Zhou Zimo said his vacation was two months.

Zhou Zimo was wearing a cloak, and the ghosts around him could not sense him, as if he did not exist.

The front desk clerk at the apartment laughed at Zhou Ziping for spending so much money, but Zhou Ziping just smiled and didn't explain.

Zhou Ziping rented an apartment with one bedroom and one living room, which was over 30 square meters. Although it was not spacious, at least two people could move around in the room.

"Brother, you sleep in the room."

"What about you?"

"I have to work at night, so I don't need to sleep. It's already morning when I get home from work, so I can just lie down on the sofa. You can go in and have a rest. There's a quilt on the bed, and it's clean."

"How do you know it's clean?"

"I came here to do odd jobs some time ago, so of course I know."

“…”

You work so many jobs but don't use the energy you earn. How long do you think you can live?

Zhou Zimo turned around and walked into the room silently.

Zhou Ziping watched the door close, then he suddenly felt relieved and turned around to sit on the sofa.

He knew what his brother was thinking.

My younger brother always mentions his strength intentionally or unintentionally, implying that he can do whatever he wants because he has great strength.

But he had seen too many ghosts here devouring their own kind in order to become stronger, as if everyone had not been human in their lifetime, and as if they had lost their humanity once they became ghosts.

He did not stop others from becoming stronger in this way, but he himself could not do such a thing.

He could only avoid fights with other ghosts and hide from the covetousness of other ghosts.

He tried hard to survive in the cracks just to see his brother again.

Now that he sees his younger brother has grown up and can protect himself, he feels relieved.

The wish has been fulfilled.

Every day that I can open my eyes is a day earned.

…

In the room.

Zhou Zimo suddenly received the news.

Yuan Qian: "I calculated for your brother, guess what, your brother is almost dead."

Zhou Zimo's pupils trembled, and he quickly replied: "I just hinted at the benefits of being powerful, I didn't do anything else."

Yuan Qian: "The influence on the spiritual level is also an influence, Zimo, you think you can control the situation, but their survival must rely on their will. Your presence interferes with his will and will speed up his disappearance."

Zhou Zimo: "Ah! What should we do now?"

Yuan Qian: "Don't panic, I'll go over and take a look."

As soon as Zhou Zimo turned off the message screen, Qi Deyuan appeared in front of him.

"You have already wiped out his chance of survival. Now you can only try your best to make up for it. At least let him survive."

As he spoke, Qi Deyuan put on a cloak to conceal his breath and walked out.

Zhou Ziping had fallen asleep on the sofa, which showed that his ghost body was very weak and was at risk of disappearing at any time.

Qi Deyuan stood in front of Zhou Ziping and deduced the possibilities of each next path.

Zhou Zimo followed Qi Deyuan quietly.

Suddenly, Qi Deyuan turned his head and looked at Zhou Zimo, "The problem is still with you. You are the only thing he is worried about in the world. If you make him feel at ease, he will rest in peace."

"…Then, then I'll leave?"

"You can't just leave like this. You have to make him worry and keep him alive. Don't interfere. If you interfere, something bigger may happen. I'm afraid he will die faster then."

Zhou Zimo was a little depressed, "I know."

…

When Zhou Ziping woke up, he saw a note on the table. He picked it up and looked at it. He was suddenly shocked and sat up in shock, and became very nervous.

"Brother, I have a very dangerous mission that I need to rush over to right now. I will be back in a day at most, so you don't have to wait for me to eat."

Zhou Ziping waited from dawn to dusk, but didn't see any people, not even a single hair.

He waited anxiously for the whole night, but Zhou Zimo still didn't come back.

It was daybreak again, and Zhou Ziping stood downstairs of the apartment building looking around.

Why haven't you come back yet? Is there something wrong?

No, Xiao Mo is very powerful now.

But Xiao Mo said this mission was very dangerous.

just in case……

Zhou Ziping was so anxious that he turned around in a circle.

What should I do?

The front desk of the apartment called out to him, "Xiao Zhou, you don't want to work anymore? Don't you want to live? Otherwise, give me a bite."

"Work. Yes, I still have to work. I have to stay alive first and wait for my brother to come back."

Zhou Ziping quickly swallowed all the remaining money in his pocket to strengthen his body.

Zhou Zimo was watching this scene not far away.

It turned out that I was really too impatient and disturbed my brother's mentality. My brother's will was very strong.

One month later.

Zhou Ziping couldn't stay here any longer and wanted to leave.

No matter whether my brother is dead or alive, I have to see it with my own eyes.

But his strength is too weak. When he works, he has to be careful not to have his power sucked away by other ghosts. When he walks on the road, he has to be careful not to be eaten by ghosts that suddenly appear.

When he encountered a ghost blocking his way again, he stopped.

Yes, I can do it, my brother is still waiting for me.

Zhou Ziping clenched his fists and said, "Come on, I'm not afraid of you."

Seeing this, the roadblock laughed out loud, "You coward, you didn't run away today, so you can become my food!"

Not far away on the street, Zhou Zimo was watching this scene very nervously.

"Is my brother okay?"

"Although there is no certainty about his chances of survival, I asked the boss, and he confirmed my deduction. He also said that as long as Zhou Ziping's will is strong enough, he will definitely survive."

Qi Deyuan is still very responsible and has been following the progress throughout the whole process.

After hearing Qi Deyuan's words, Zhou Zimo felt a little relieved.

But when he saw Zhou Ziping being hit by the road-blocking ghost, he was still very worried.

Obviously, this road-blocking ghost was just an ant in his eyes. The fist looked so light and had no power at all, but when it hit Zhou Ziping, Zhou Ziping's soul body suddenly became much lighter.

The roadblocking ghost opened its mouth wide and was about to eat Zhou Ziping's soul, but Zhou Ziping bit the ghost's neck first.

It was you who wanted to eat me, you can't blame me.

Zhou Ziping bit the road-blocking ghost's neck and madly absorbed the ghost's power, while he grabbed the ghost's head and pushed it back.

The roadblock ghost was also trying desperately to scratch him with its claws.

Fortunately, this roadblock is not that powerful.

Ghosts like Zhou Ziping who have no cultivation are not valuable. Ghosts with a little strength will not be interested in him. Only ghosts who are still living at the bottom will target him. After all, he looks easy to bully.

This road-blocking ghost also tries his luck every day. For a little ghost who also has no cultivation, he can grow a lot just by swallowing a little ghost.

He didn't expect that Zhou Ziping, the coward, would suddenly go crazy today.

The roadblock ghost struggled desperately to fight back, but Zhou Ziping bit his neck tightly and refused to let go. In the end, the roadblock ghost unwillingly turned from a forager into food.

Zhou Ziping clearly felt that his body had become stronger.

Some things only have zero times and countless times. Either don’t start, or once you start, things will become easier and easier.

Now that Zhou Ziping has gained power, he will soon be targeted by the half-hearted ghosts around him.

In order to become stronger, Zhou Ziping gradually changed from passive counterattacks, exchanging injuries for lives, to actively setting traps to protect himself.

He still retains a shred of his humanity.

He never takes the initiative to kill innocent ghosts who have no grudges against him. He only kills those ghosts who covet him and want to kill him.

At the same time, he was still working, earning ghost power through his own labor.

The bar's copy will be opened from time to time, and the difficulty and copy content are changing.

In order to become stronger quickly, Zhou Ziping also began to participate in the plot, because participating in the plot can gain the power granted by the rules. He participated in the plot not to devour living people, but only for the power given by the rules.

While pursuing to become stronger, he also adhered to the bottom line. Compared with those evil spirits who enjoyed blood and flesh and only sought immediate pleasure, his self-discipline was somewhat scary.

Seeing that Zhou Ziping's vitality was becoming more and more stable, Zhou Zimo couldn't wait to ask, "Can he survive?"

Qi Deyuan nodded, "His will is very firm, and his vitality is growing. As long as the vitality reaches a certain standard, we can save him. Now it is not enough, we have to wait."

"How long?"

"It will take at most half a month. No further intervention can be done before then. We must wait."

"Okay, I'll wait."
