CH 172.1

Qi Qing’s ghost control skill, which had a cooldown of one hour, had not been used yet.

Although the game rules explicitly stated the name of the ghost control skill, there were no instructions on its usage. He himself did not know how to use it, but he also did not want to waste the one-hour cooldown skill, which was originally intended to be used on the weakest NPCs.

He watched from the shadows.

As Qi Qing was the only player in the red camp, the crudest and simplest idea was to get rid of the weakest player so that the blue camp could not get a stronger Blessing of Blood Moon than him. That way, even if the victor in the blue camp killed all the other players, their Blessing of Blood Moon would only be tied with his.

Even though Qi Qing had lost his memories, the first time he saw Lin Xinghe, he knew that she was the most difficult boss to beat in this game, even though she had not participated in name.

She and Fu Zhou were clearly on the same side.

So Qi Qing’s intention was to get rid of more than two NPCs so that the blue camp could not combine their Blessings of Blood Moon. Without that power, his opponents couldn’t win against him no matter how much intelligence and scheming vigilance they had.

Qi Qing thought as such, but he did not expect Lin Xinghe to do such a thing.

Stuck in the ghost swarm, he was forced to sacrifice his first use of his ghost control skill. Because he hadn’t built up his skill, he could only control five ghosts. In terms of numbers, he was at a complete disadvantage, and the ghost control skill was temporary. Once the twenty minutes had passed, the five ghosts under his control were once again out of his control.

The ghosts couldn’t hurt him, let alone use force on him, but seeing all the NPCs and ghosts flocking to the Blood Moon building, he saw no point in hanging out alone, so he followed them over to see what was going on. At this time, he saw the scenes on the curtain playing.

Qi Qing was in deep thought.

Lin Xinghe cleared her throat and said: “Looks like everyone is here, now let’s watch the film ……” While the ghosts were working, Lin Xinghe asked Fu Zhou to go around the stores to find bigger and better speakers, so that the film’s audio sounded out clearer.

After watching it, Lan Tai looked at Lin Xinghe a little differently, thinking that Lin Xinghe was a salesman, a complete fraud.

Everything that happened in his past was so real, how could the world he was in be fictional?

He was a living human being, he could not be one of the so-called NPCs Lin Xinghe spoke of – his life was his own, not something anyone can fabricate.

But the ghosts around him were like cultists, convinced of what Lin Xinghe said. Even the blue camp players who just now seemed quite puzzled were suffused with a nearly insane look, shouting, “I want to be free!”

The helpers he had convinced earlier were also shouting, “I want my real life back!”

Fu Zhou said to Lin Xinghe, “It seems not everyone will awaken that easily, look at the one on the far right wearing the cap, he obviously has not awakened.”

Lin Xinghe followed his line of sight and said, unconcerned, “That’s normal, and sooner or later they will awaken. It’s just a matter of time. The more people that awaken, the easier the system will collapse, and the moment the system completely collapses, the remaining people who have not awakened will also awaken together ……”

She whispered to Fu Zhou, “I’m actually using this little short film to test the current condition of the system,” she said with a faint smile, “I’m rushing to end this exam. When the system completely can not withstand the number of awakenings, I will finish climbing the tower…”

She said, “Principal Wang hid Xiao Xue Ji and didn’t let me see Xie Wuan, so I guess they are there.”

Before her words fell, the whole earth suddenly shook violently. Less than three seconds later, the earth returned to calm, as if everything that had just happened was just an illusion.

Everyone looked at each other, and they finally all looked at Lin Xinghe.

Lin Xinghe calmly said: “Don’t worry, it’s because everyone is awakening too fast and there are too many of them, and it’s starting to affect the system’s operation. For a few brief seconds just now, if I’m not wrong, it should be that the system started to be unable to process our awakening, so much so that there was a glitch.” She added loudly, “Today’s achievement is the result of everyone’s efforts! Friends! We are one step closer to freedom! Let’s keep up the good work, and one day we will be able to touch true freedom. That day is not far away!”

The people and ghosts at the bottom were all cheering to the heavens.

Fu Zhou was also a little excited and asked, “Is the system really malfunctioning?”

Lin Xinghe: “I don’t know.”

Fu Zhou: “Huh?”

Lin Xinghe said, “I should say I’m not sure if the system is malfunctioning, but in a situation like this right now, isn’t it more important to give everyone faith? Even if it’s not a real glitch, it will be a real glitch in the future.”

Fu Zhou: “…… You can really make the best use of things.”
