Things Gradually Becoming Clear

Although humanity in this world may seem to be in a state of despair, there is always light in the darkness.

In this world, there are indeed native Free Player. And even though almost all of humanity in this world is under control, these Free Player have not given up their idea of resistance.

This inference is not unfounded; there is solid evidence to back it up.

According to Bai Zhi's speculation, the person in the vicinity who had previously contacted PrayerUnderDreams and was involved in Dual Cultivation should be one of the native Player of this world.

In a sense, this world is unfortunate because humanity is under the absolute control of Anomaly; but in another sense, it is fortunate because humanity still exists and the world has not yet perished.

Compared to the world where a certain Anomaly Loli and her friends are completely "dead," this world at least still has hope... even if that hope seems incredibly small.

"Humans are too fragile."

Leaning back on the bed, the Night Owl let out a soft sigh.

"Where do these endless Anomaly come from? Why is it that not only our world is experiencing these things, but other worlds are as well? And what exactly is the nature of the system and the Player...?"

"Are you a walking encyclopedia of questions? There aren't that many questions in this world. No one is going to kindly tell you the answers; you have to find them yourself."

With his feet propped up on the edge of the bed, Bai Zhi gave a very casual answer.

"Only a fool would keep dwelling on this kind of thing, while a smart person would have already started planning how to improve themselves. Your initial Skill are not bad, but if you don't correct your timid nature, I don't think you can go very far."

"... Fear of the dark is innate."

After a moment of silence, the Night Owl spoke softly.

Everyone has things they fear; don't you have things you're afraid of too?

"What am I afraid of? Of course I am."

Bai Zhi turned to a new page in the book and pursed his lips.

"But this is my biggest secret, and I can't let anyone know about this weakness of mine... But is being afraid useful? Eventually, you'll still have to face it."

"... Is there any good way for me to overcome this problem?"

After a moment of silence, the Night Owl took the initiative to ask.

"I've been training in this area, but the training methods I found online are completely unreliable. I was thinking of looking for Equipment, items, or Skill at the Auction House to improve my situation, but I couldn't find any."

"Https://m. hetushu. com. com What are the methods? There are naturally many methods. The simplest one is psychological hypnosis and self-suggestion. However, forget about hypnosis; it's actually very unreliable, and given the Player's attributes, it's difficult to be hypnotized. You could try self-suggestion though."

Bai Zhi glanced at the other person, then snapped his fingers.

"I've read a few books on psychology before, and they clearly state that if you remember to say things like 'You're great' to yourself in the mirror every morning after you wake up, you'll soon find..."

"I'm not afraid of the dark anymore?"

The Night Owl couldn't help but chime in.

"No, you'll find that the mirror will become a wonderful mirror, and you will get a wonderful mirror."

Bai Zhi answered with a smug look on his face.

"How about that? Pretty good deal, right? This is my secret to wealth that I never share. You've hit the jackpot, you know that?"

Night Owl:"..."

--This is insane!!!

Just as the Night Owl fell into a speechless silence, a heavy knocking sound suddenly came from outside the door.

At the same time as the knocking, a voice they were quite familiar with rang out.

"My..."

"Hello, I live in Room 1001, Building 2 Fandou Garden Fandou Street. My dad's name is Hu Yingjun, my mom's name is Zhang Xiaoli, and my Hu Tutu. Are you Grandpa Niu?"

Before the other person could finish speaking, Bai Zhi turned to look in the direction of the door and interrupted them in a serious tone.

"... Give me back my body."

After a few seconds of silence, a cold voice came from outside the door.

"Uh... who are you!? Where's Grandpa Niu!? Where did you hide Grandpa Niu!?"

Bai Zhi looked utterly shocked.

"... Give me back my body!!"

As the voice suddenly rose in pitch, the chilling aura in the words grew even stronger. However, the person was completely unmoved by this and instead, with a cold smile, pulled out a megaphone from somewhere and put it in front of their mouth.

"You think you can out-shout me?! Let's see who shouts louder!? Don't you even know what manners are?! When you need something from someone, remember to be humble. Do you think I'll put up with you?! So, you need to tell me who you are first. If you don't tell me, how can I give your body back, right? So, if you want your body back, you have to tell me who you are first, otherwise, I simply can't..."

"... Heavenless Heretic"

Perhaps sensing a hint of frustration, she coldly interrupted him, and a familiar, chilling voice echoed softly.

"Alright, I've put your body in my room. If you want it, go get it yourself."

He pursed his lips, put down the megaphone, Bai Zhi wanted more.

"Room [503] is next to Room [504]. I put your body in my room, and the Key is right by the door. Do you have any other questions?"

"..."

After a brief silence, the sounds outside the door faded away.

"Wait, when did you get that... book?"

The Night Owl, who had witnessed the entire event, was completely stunned.

"Let me test your observation of a small detail above."

Before the bewildered Night Owl could finish speaking, Bai Zhi turned to look at him.

"There's a rather obvious flaw in what they just said. Can you find it? It's not too difficult, because you should be able to spot the linguistic flaw immediately."

"Uh... but the other party only said two sentences in total..."

After tilting his head slightly and thinking for a while, the Night Owl, unable to find any loopholes, weakly spoke up.

"This is just a small test, about the details."

Losing interest, Bai Zhi tossed the megaphone onto the desk for future use and picked up his book again.

"If you can't even figure out such a small problem... tell me when you've thought of it."
