Chapter 107 Finally, they fell for it.
The auditorium reeked of a pungent, bloody stench.
Limbs, severed arms, flesh and blood, bones—everywhere the eye could see was a scene of hell on earth.
The ox-faced creature floated in the air, quietly watching Chen Feng patrol back and forth.
If we compare the cow's face to a program, then the avatars are like networked computers. With the avatars, he can move at the speed of light, like transferring files. But now that the avatars are gone, he can only stare blankly here.
"It's alright, I have a backup plan."
"As long as the main body doesn't come out for a long time, an avatar will come here to check."
"If the avatar that comes to check is also killed, then my second avatar will go and inform the lord that the great demons are here."
The current strategy for beef noodles is to stall!
Ideally, the enemy should be made to believe he is dead and leave immediately.
But then, Chen Feng suddenly shouted at the auditorium, "Niu Mian, come out and fight me one-on-one! I know you're still alive! Tell me the rules honestly!"
An unhappy "tsk" sounded in the air.
Niu Mian coldly uttered a few words: "You still found out."
Chen Feng exclaimed happily, "As expected, you can talk!"
If you can speak, you can communicate. As long as you can communicate, Chen Feng can use the rule that the supernatural tales must explain to find out how to deal with the other party.
Similarly, Niu Mian also realized this, which is why he pretended to be mute and remained silent before.
But now that he'd been discovered, he could only plead, "Hey, can we make peace?"
Chen Feng laughed: "Reconcile? At this moment? You must be joking."
Niu Mian promised, "You know that ghost stories don't lie, right? As long as you're willing to reconcile, I can appoint you as the vice leader. Money, power, beautiful women—whatever you want, I can give you."
Chen Feng curled his lip: "Not interested."
Niu Mian became even more humble: "Then I surrender! I'm willing to be your subordinate and help you deal with the other four, how about it?"
Oh?
Chen Feng became interested: "Then tell me about their weaknesses. For example, who is the lord's alt account? And what are the abilities of the others?"
"I have no idea."
"You don't know the first one?"
"We once encountered an enemy called the Savior. He killed one of our companions and found out all of our abilities and weaknesses. Since then, to prevent this from happening again, we have deliberately erased each other's memories."
"So some people have already benefited from this. Then let me ask you, is Cihang Bodhisattva a benevolent deity?"
"Yes."
"Really?"
Chen Feng looked surprised. He really didn't expect that not only the daily intelligence system said so, but even Niu Mian's answer was the same.
"Cihang isn't an evil god, so why did you seal her away?"
"Because we're bad people."
Oh, oh~
Chen Feng slapped his forehead, realizing there was indeed nothing wrong with it: "Sorry, I just had a brain fart."
Niu Mian suddenly said, "Cihang Bodhisattva is your ally, but you don't trust her. This shows you are a very suspicious person, so you won't let me off the hook either, right?"
Chen Feng sneered, "Likewise, you may be sincere in surrendering, but you're also sincere in stalling for time, aren't you? I bet you've got some backup plan."
Niu Mian fell silent.
If he had a physical body, he would be sweating profusely right now.
Because he was absolutely certain that the time traveler in front of him was the most dangerous one he had ever seen.
Chen Feng asked, "Now, tell me all your weaknesses. I know it's difficult, but it's an order."
It’s over.
It's all over.
Ox-faced said reluctantly, "The way to kill me is hidden in the parables in the Gospels."
Just to be on the safe side, Chen Feng confirmed again, "Reading the Gospels won't lead to any traps, will it?"
Ox-faced angrily retorted, "No! My sins are grave, my actions were unjust..."
Because the relationship has fallen apart, they're starting to recite ancestral precepts again?
The "Feign Death" ability can only be used once a day.
Chen Feng didn't want to be burned all day, so he immediately activated the Sianweistein, rushed towards a believer's corpse, picked up the Gospel book, and started flipping through it.
There are six parables in the Gospels.
The first one is "I will not bow down for five pecks of rice".
The narrator says not to strive for money, which is a very simple piece of inspirational advice.
There were no hints or clues.
Chen Feng looked at the second story: "Take a step back, and the sky will be clear."
It tells the story of a person whose anger led to the destruction of his family and the death of his loved ones.
The first is wealth, the second is anger; they seem somewhat related.
Chen Feng looked at the third story, "Seeing Through the World's illusions," and read aloud:
"So-called beauty is nothing more than a handful of yellow earth in the end."
"It really is about love."
"If I'm not mistaken, the remaining fables are related to the tongue's taste of thought, the desire for ideas, and the body's inherent worries."
And the facts were just as Chen Feng had guessed.
"Good fortune may be a harbinger of misfortune, and misfortune may be a harbinger of good fortune" tells the story of a mouse that discovers a rice jar, only to become trapped because it is too fat from eating too much.
"The Mirror of Sound" tells those in high positions to be wary of slanderous words from petty people and not to be consumed by desire.
"There is a golden house in books" tells the story of a person who worried that the sky would fall down, but after reading books and learning knowledge, he realized that his worries were unnecessary.
Therefore, all six stories are related to Dharma protectors.
Chen Feng stopped Sianwistan and said, "I understand. The way to deal with you is to gather the six guardians?"
Movies often portray this way: in order to deal with some villain, the protagonist needs the help of so-and-so.
But I'm already worried about my health, what if I can't get everyone together?
Niu Mian first expressed surprise: "You saw that fast? Do you have a time-stopping ability?"
Then he told Chen Feng that the rule was to read the first character of each story title together.
"How do you connect the first two characters?"
Chen Feng pondered for a moment: "Don't—read—gospels—books???"
Niu Mian let out a long sigh of relief and said, "Finally, I've been tricked."
"Guess why I still recited the sacred words even though I knew the fires of karma wouldn't kill you? It's so I wouldn't give you time to think."
草？
The third rule is not to read the Gospels.
And this third rule is hidden in the Gospels.
When you see this rule, doesn't that mean you've already violated it?
Chen Feng felt as speechless as if he had found a sign at the bottom of a cake box that read "Don't turn the cake upside down."
You can play it like this?
Chen Feng couldn't help but say, "Impossible! Didn't you say there were no traps in the Gospels? Besides, I peeked at the Gospels before and nothing happened!"
Niu Mian said, "Of course I was lying to you. Reading the Gospels won't cause any trouble, singing hymns won't cause any trouble. The real trap is in the Gospels. Anyone who gets their hands on the Gospels will be possessed by me. Now, can't you move your body?"
Chen Feng swayed, but as expected, he couldn't move. This made him incredulous: "Liar? You can't lie about the rules in ghost stories. Aren't you a ghost story yourself?"
The leader of all ghost stories, not a ghost story? That's too outrageous.
No, no.
Chen Feng suddenly remembered that the mission of the Great Philanthropist clearly stated that the other party was the Ghost Story.
So that's right, so where exactly did things go wrong?
Niu Mian said, "Given my personality, I would never explain these things."
"But because my plan is so brilliant, and you are the most cautious opponent I have ever met, I can't help but share it with you."
"Come on, let me ask you, who told you that ghost stories don't lie?"
Chen Feng couldn't help but say, "I asked the demons, and they said it's always been like this since ancient times."
She Qingqing and the old wolf have lived for three hundred years, there's no reason for them to lie to him!
Niu Mian said smugly, "Ah! That's where my brilliance lies."
"Just because it's always been this way, does that mean it's right?"
"You should know that in Cihang City, I'm the one in charge of brainwashing, right?"
"To be honest, besides karmic fire and possession, my only other ability is altering cognition."
"Cognitive modification, simply put, is the dissemination of a false belief, which the recipient will believe to be the truth and act accordingly."
"I am a consciousness entity, so it's not surprising that I can do this."
Chen Feng was not surprised, because he had seen Niu Mian use cognitive manipulation to make everyone in Cihang City forget the students when he was at the Internet Addiction Academy.
At that moment, as if he had just realized something, his face darkened, and he said, "You mean...?"
Niu Mian admitted, "That's right, I personally modified all the supernatural tales, including the rules governing the Dharma Protector."
"At first, it was just that my subordinates had killed too many people through ghost stories, and the other four asked me to find a way to manage them."
"I originally wanted to instill in the ghost stories a belief that they shouldn't kill, but after thinking about it carefully, I thought it would be better to let them believe that they should follow certain rules and that they must honestly tell humans the rules of killing."
"As a result, fewer ordinary people were killed by ghost stories. There were even rumors that as long as you follow the rules, ordinary people can survive ghost stories. It's ridiculous."
Chen Feng questioned, "Cihang City is so big, you can't possibly cover all the ghost stories. If there's even one that's irregular or full of lies, won't you be exposed?"
Ox-faced asked, "Come, come, tell me, how do you distinguish between ghost stories, monsters, and vengeful spirits?"
Of course, ghost stories have rules...
Chen Feng was stunned.
Niu Mian laughed: "Why did you stop talking? If such a thing appears, I'll just say it's another monster disguised as a ghost story, isn't that enough?"
"I don't know if you've ever heard the saying, 'A promise is worth a thousand pieces of gold.'"
"The strange tales of the entire Cihang City, which have been telling the truth for thousands of years, are all for this day, so that I can withdraw my thousand gold coins."
"So it's not shameful that you fell for my trick, after all, I've been planning this for thousands of years."
The first two sentences were still echoing in the auditorium.
The last two sentences were spoken through Chen Feng's mouth, which means that Chen Feng has been possessed by the bull-faced body and has begun to be possessed: "Don't struggle. I am a consciousness. After you are possessed by me, even if you are reborn, you will only become me."
"You should be grateful that my revised understanding has extremely strong limitations, otherwise you wouldn't have had the chance to resist me."
"Say something! Weren't you jumping around quite enthusiastically just now?"
Under Niu Mian's persistent questioning.
Chen Feng suddenly spoke up, saying the same thing: "You've been possessed, haven't you? You can't run away now, can you? I've been acting for so long, and you've finally fallen for it."
