There is One New Rule Every Month Globally-Chapter 547 - 368: "Ability Name": "The Bathroom in Dreams is Fake."_2

He knew the strength of these friends of his well.

It would be difficult for them to crawl out of hell anytime soon, he estimated.

He had just casually mentioned that he had heard there were curses lately, so maybe they should stop drinking. He swore he had said it casually, not expecting the curse to actually come knocking so soon, and for such a random curse at that.

Say "one goes," and randomly, one goes.

This was even scarier than the phone killers in those horror novels.

"I..."

The middle-aged man's mouth slowly opened and closed without speaking, clearly the dominant figure among the group. Upon hearing that it would be very hard to see his friends again, the man took a deep breath.

He pulled a gun from his embrace and, without a second word, pressed it to the temple of the young man beside him.

"Bang."

The young man didn't have time to react before he fell into a pool of blood, his gaze vacant.

The middle-aged man then pressed the muzzle of the gun under his own chin, his voice hoarse, "Tuberculosis Rabbit, we brothers have been through life and death together. Since they can't come up, then I'll go down to continue drinking with them."

"I'm off."

"Bang."

The sound of the gun echoed once more.

The middle-aged man also fell.

"..."

Tuberculosis Rabbit looked at the two bodies lying in pools of blood and fell silent for a long time before turning to Sword Without End at his side, "This is why guns are banned before leveling up in the game. Guns are too quick to kill; they don't even offer a chance for rescue."

"Get emotional, and you just shoot yourself."

"That's indeed true."

Sword Without End nodded with emotion, "I remember watching a video before. A father who ran a small store had an argument with his child. I forgot what the argument was about, but I remember the father pulling out a gun from his embrace and placing it on the counter, saying something like 'why don't you just die.'

"The child, without any hesitation, picked up the gun and shot himself in the temple."

"Dead on the spot."

"The whole process was smooth and fluid, with no chance for rescue. If someone decides to commit suicide with a gun, there really is no hope for rescue. But I'm more curious, did that man just now ask his little brother if he wanted to go to hell with him?"

"Um... I don't think so."

"Forget it, forget it."

Tuberculosis Rabbit casually waved his hand and left the barbecue stall, heading down an alley, "There are still many weird things to get rid of. Let's not bother with these for now and quickly eradicate those oddities."

These days, he and Sword Without End had been constantly clearing the weirdness in Yancheng.

The bodies of these oddities were very fragile, almost certain to be killed as soon as they were hit, but they hid too well, making them difficult to find.

For some reason, these oddities seemed curious about Yi, always looking for him. Although they could never hurt Yi, they did make him quite irritable.

The abilities of these oddities were not strong.

But they were enough to be a nuisance.

For example—

'Ability Name': "The toilet in dreams is fake."

'Ability Explanation': Can cause all sleeping people in an area to wet the bed.

An ability with no lethality.

But it made countless adults relive their childhood feelings, experiencing once again the sensation of desperately searching for a bathroom in a dream, finding relief, and then vaguely feeling the mattress becoming damp.

He only remembered.

Waking up that morning, Yi had nearly slaughtered the whole of Yancheng, and it was him who held Yi back.

He had never seen Yi so flustered and exasperated before—no, frustrated wasn't the right word to describe it. It was rage. After that incident, Yi issued a Must-Kill Order on these oddities that suddenly appeared after the game update.

Upon discovery,

They must be eradicated.

But these oddities were truly difficult to kill, and killing them once wouldn't do the job; it had to be done 1000 times. Fortunately, although killing them once didn't finish them off, it would cause the oddity to be randomly transported elsewhere, essentially driving them out of Yancheng.

But...

There were also quite a few strange creatures that were killed and transported to their Yancheng.

The entire process seemed to have become a closed loop that they couldn't escape from, unless they killed all these creatures a thousand times.

Strange creatures are very difficult to recognize.

Their biggest method of recognition was through common sense judgments, like the man wearing a duckbill hat just now, who didn't even turn his head to look at the commotion behind him, but instead sat alone eating barbecue.

This was abnormal, and abnormality meant there was something ghostly.

Another method to recognize strange creatures was that no matter what their appearance, they always acted alone—they would never move in pairs.

And then, it was down to instinct.

As long as one killed enough, they could always sense when something was off about a person.

They had originally been tracking a strange creature that looked like a woman, and they happened to pass by this barbecue stall, where they incidentally discovered and casually killed another creature.

The ability of the strange creature that looked like a woman was somewhat chilling.

"Ability Name": "You must be happy."

"Ability Explanation": It would make every creature within a certain area believe that it was a tree.

Updated from freewёbnoνel.com.

It had no killing power either.

But it could significantly affect the operation of the entire city—this was tantamount to turning a portion of the city's population into trees, how was one supposed to deal with that?

The most terrifying part was.

They couldn't understand the priority of the rules of this ability at all, Yi and the others were shrouded by this ability for an entire day, during which they all believed they were trees.

After standing quietly on the rooftop for a day and a night, they had no realization of what was happening.

Tuberculosis Rabbit still vaguely remembered standing devoutly on the rooftop, arms outstretched, wondering why it wasn't raining yet—he was almost dying of thirst—and pondering when he would bear fruit.

If it weren't for the fact that the strange creature, looking like that woman, had left their area after a day and a night.

They might not have realized what was happening even now, and would still be standing on the rooftop as tree stumps.

Even Yi had fallen prey.

The priority of the rules of this ability far surpassed any prop on Yi, not even "Forever Pure" had been activated passively—perhaps this prop didn't consider Yi's state to be a negative effect at all?

Just at that moment—

Tuberculosis Rabbit and Sword Without End suddenly stopped walking, squinting their eyes and glancing at each other before pulling out their weapons from within their coats, slowly stepping onto the street in front of them.

Under the night sky, the street in front of them seemed unusually quiet, with numerous pedestrians standing still with arms outstretched to the heavens, devout in expression as if possessed by some cult.

But only Tuberculosis Rabbit knew that these people were waiting for the rain, already believing they were trees.

He even saw a cat standing still with arms outstretched to the sky—this cat also believed it was a tree.

This indicated that the female ghost, who could make people think they were trees, was nearby.

There was a magnetic field forming in the vicinity.

This magnetic field affected every living thing in the range.

But as they stepped into it, they remained unaffected. Over these days, they had already discovered a pattern: these area-of-effect abilities of the strange creatures had a cooldown period—they weren't passive skills and couldn't be reused repeatedly.

And they could only affect those who were initially within the ability's range.

For instance, if the people on this street were influenced by the strange creature to believe they were trees, they wouldn't be affected if they entered the area at that moment.

The ability to define the range only affected those initially caught by it, posing no threat to those who came later.

It has to be said, this was a piece of good news.

Otherwise, just by that strange creature sitting there without moving, these people would have to live their entire lives as trees, unable to do anything, and this area would become an absolute trap.

"Huh!"

Tuberculosis Rabbit took a deep breath, slowly tossed the nearly extinguished cigarette from his mouth to the ground beside him, and stomped it out forcefully before reversing his grip on the Claw Knife and slowly walking into the street ahead.

Any strange creature only had that unique special ability.

Physical strength was almost zero.

It was just that their ability to hide was too strong, not easy to find—once the strange creature's true body was found, even a rookie player could easily kill it, without any difficulty at all.
