I Can Reap Qi Fortune from Players-Chapter 595 - 84: The Suffering Diary of the Tomb Owner
The next morning.
Marriage Dress Town, Food God and Nanny Rong land.
They saw the whole room in disarray, and both had somewhat tense expressions.
The marriage dresses were scattered all over, the room was vividly red, as if soaked in blood and dried, yet some places seemed freshly stained by liquid.
Is this... traces of crying?
After they fell asleep last night, what was crying in their room?
They exchanged glances, anxiety creeping into their hearts.
As small blacksmiths with high attack and low defense, they've started to feel uneasy in this horror-themed dungeon Secret Realm.
Knock knock knock!
There was a knock on the door.
"Time for breakfast."
Opening the door, Bai Xingling and several grooms were already leading their brides to explore the dungeon.
During the process, Bai Xingling glanced at the other's bride, then at Food God, and quietly said, "Could you handle the crying last night?"
"Crying?" Food God was surprised.
"The bride was crying in the room." Bai Xingling was speechless.
Food God got nervous, looking at Nanny Rong beside him, "Were you crying last night?"
"I wasn't." Nanny Rong shook her head.
The two exchanged a glance, horror evident in each other's eyes.
This is possession...
But is it not complete possession?
On this day, newlyweds, according to the rules, each groom would take his wife to tour the town.
It's a very perilous journey.
You must follow the rules of loving your wife, or there will be trouble.
The brides here, when they were alive, aimed to get married, and their obsession was essentially hoping to meet someone who loved them truly.
This wish is simple and sincere, but if they met a scoundrel in life, they could only cry and endure silently. After death, if they encounter a scoundrel, the ghost will amplify this resentment, and they will go mad directly.
Thus, most rules in Marriage Dress Town revolve around how to love your new groom and bride.
But accompanying your wife on a tour is also the best time for sneaking around to gather information.
While other guests went "touring," Food God and Nanny Rong still broke the rules.
"You logged off last night, and the ghost logged in."
"We continue to test the rules and the oddities about you."
Food God said.
Possession of the living and possession of Embers are completely different!
The soul consciousness of the living can be erased.
But Embers begin without soul consciousness; they are walking instinctive "Soul Shells," much like mindless "zombies," maintaining actions from when they were alive.
All day, they were exploring.
...
Sword Casting Manor.
"What do you all think?"
The true body of Food God was also passionately discussing with others.
This dungeon strategy must gather the wisdom of the people.
"Nanny Rong has already become one of the Embers and cannot return unless she dies."
Food God said: "He's not like me; I possessed the living and went with Dharma Aspect... the true body is still here."
Daojiu: "Should we possess more? Station our forces all over?"
"Feels a bit wasteful!"
Jiucai Rong said: "After possessing Embers, our blacksmiths can only move on that map, they are restricted, we definitely have to die to return."
They would of course be willing to manage the dungeon as bosses.
But they can't always be foot soldiers.
Even if more people go, they all have to die eventually, no need to waste resources.
Sending a dozen blacksmiths to possess high-level Embers of the Two-Phase Realm is already good enough.
Night Mad Cultivator said: "In the current situation, after we log off, Embers will continue to auto-pilot according to their original behavior logic."
"Because they have no soul!" Su Yuniang said decisively: "They were originally a logical shell... we didn't possess their consciousness, this shell will do what it should."
"Hm..."
Night Mad Cultivator pondered for a moment, "When logged off, Embers auto-pilot... Food God, ask Nanny Rong if those rules still need to be followed?"
"Probably don't need to follow, right?" Medical Fairy asked curiously: "Because it's not Nanny Rong in control now, so why would they go mad?"
"Not necessarily."
Night Mad Cultivator said: "It's like human body reflexes, the knee-jerk reaction, the knee will jerk when tapped... can we control that with our consciousness?"
"If someone stabs your eyeball, you'll instinctively close your eyes... that's a reflex, not controlled by the brain."
"The rules of the Embers' body, obsessions, conditions for madness may also be body reflexes, not controlled by the brain, even if you are the brain now."
This guess makes logical sense.
But if this is true, the side effects of possessing these Embers are significant.
After a while.
Food God's guess was confirmed, "Nanny Rong went mad... she herself can't control it and crazily calls me to run away."
Everyone fell silent for a moment.
Did you really abuse your bride, provoking her to madness?
"There's gain and loss, possessing Embers has significant side effects, you must bear the deficiencies of the Embers, but the benefits of being Embers are also substantial." Su Yuniang smiled, "Let's continue experimenting, today let's explore the side effects after possession and explore the map in preparation for a sneak attack on the tomb boss."
...
Time passed by, second by second.
Food God and Nanny Rong began to explore the entire dungeon, even enjoying the fun of deciphering mysteries.
But Ning Zheng was not very interested in this, they are a group of socially active people who enjoy roaming, role-playing, diving into dungeons, fighting small monsters, battling bosses... whereas Ning Zheng prefers to cultivate quietly!
"It's about time to elevate the Realm."
Ning Zheng looked at the accumulated 4.19 million over the past ten days.
On average, over 400,000 a day!
However, the hype over the Pseudo-human Calamity, and the worship of the Xi Rong statue, has slowly faded.
