The old man seemed to have given up. At least, that was what Fatso thought. The seven scarecrows around him were starting to wilt, and the hay was starting to take on a grayish-white hue. It was not burning, but it was no different from being burned, unless the old man was so stubborn that he would fight with his life on the line. However, Fatso still believed that the old man was afraid of death, so it was unlikely that he would risk his life.
What annoyed Fatso the most was that the dark cloud above his head seemed to be deliberately mocking him. It continued to hover around him, refusing to come down or enter the doll that he had prepared beforehand.
We agreed to act cool together, but you're secretly cooking oil behind my back!
The fat doll floated up as if it wanted to reason with the dark cloud. Lord Fatty was afraid that his soul would slowly dissipate after being outside for too long, so he had no choice but to attach his soul to the doll. But this guy could just stay outside and wander around for as long as he wanted!
The dark cloud descended and slowly formed into Su Bai's figure. Su Bai reached out to touch the back of his head, and his other hand grabbed the fat doll.
The fat doll began to struggle. It felt like he was trying to hug Lucky.
"Damn you, how is your soul so strong!" The fat doll was very unhappy. With the strength of Su Bai's soul, he did not need to find a host like other ghosts. He could just float around as a soul.
"I don't know." Su Bai shook his head. "This is the first time I've truly died and turned into a drifting soul."
This was a fact, and it was also because of the special nature of this story that creatures such as souls were allowed to exist. Thus, Su Bai could be summoned and re-condensed as a dead soul after his real death. As for whether this state could be judged as "alive", this was something that the broadcaster needed to consider, but it was most likely possible. After all, he still had a "body" and still had his own thinking ability. From a broad point of view, he could indeed be considered to be alive.
As for the other people who had died, you had to summon their souls back. For example, the guy that Fatso had strangled at the beginning had his soul summoned back by the old man, but his mind had been erased, and he had become a ghost. This kind of existence would probably not pass the broadcaster's judgment, which meant that he had already been judged dead.
This game was like a real-life Counter-Strike. If you were hit by a paintball, you would be dead. It was also similar to a military exercise. The standard for determining life and death was something everyone understood. After all, the broadcaster was a very reasonable existence.
"But can you explain why I have to possess this thing, and you can turn into a ghost directly?" The fat puppet was still feeling unsettled.
"Perhaps it's because …" Su Bai paused as if he was thinking about God. It was a memory that he did not like to recall. "You've seen those two old pictures."
The fat puppet was startled, but he did not say anything. Yes, in those old family pictures, Su Bai had been a ghost for a long time.
In a sense, Su Bai was a ghost that had taken over another person's body. Even though Su Bai had recovered his memory, and there were many memories that were difficult to sort out, Su Bai had been a ghost in that family for many years. That was an undeniable fact.
Now, his physical body was confined to this world. Due to the special rules and environment of this world, after his physical body died, he returned to his original self.
Coupled with the resentment he felt when he died, it was not difficult to understand why he had turned into a ghost.
This world was essentially set up for Fatso and Su Bai, who did not become listeners. After all, their bodies were the same as their original appearances.
"This d * mn world setting." The fat puppet let out a long sigh. "Da Bai, I think the broadcaster is very powerful now. This world is far more complicated than I thought."
"Now is not the time to be emotional." Su Bai's soul was black, and it was much more solid than when Fatso appeared. There was also a lot of malevolent energy circling around him.
"What's wrong? Those guys should be dead by now. As long as we can find their corpses, I think we should have enough meat. Besides, we are all ghosts now, so we can sell our own meat. That way, there won't be a need for the melodramatic plot of the broadcast anymore. "
I'm really afraid that in the end, we will only lack the meat of one body. How are we going to make a choice? That's too scary. "
"I feel like something is looking for me. It wants me to go back." Su Bai looked at the fat puppet and asked, "Do you know what it is?"
"Don't tell me there are still some stupid listeners who haven't died yet?" The fat puppet said with a pained expression. "Did the broadcaster use a cheat again?"
"No, it doesn't feel like a listener. I feel like the listener thing has ended since that night. The thing that is summoning me is more like a native of this world. It's like it has existed for a long time. I don't know where this feeling came from, but there is something about it that makes me tremble. It's like the principle of everything reinforcing and restraining each other."
"Wait … Shell Dumbfounded!" The fat idol seemed to have thought of something, and then he said in a tone that sounded like he did not know whether to laugh or cry, "According to the environment and background of this world, is it possible that a Ghost Messenger is here to arrest you?"
"Ghost Messenger?" Su Bai was a little speechless. "Why haven't I seen it before?"
"In the past, you took the initiative to move out as a soul, or you gave up your body and released your soul. Ghost Messengers only target malicious ghosts. What are ghosts? They are the souls of ordinary people after they die. There are many prerequisites, such as cultivators or cultivators. People with cultivation are actually not within the scope of the Ghost Messengers.
The most damning thing about this world is that we are all set to be ordinary people. Now that we are dead, I'm fine. I'm just a soul. Ghost Messengers like me don't care, or else with so many people dying in a day, they will be as busy as dogs. But a malicious ghost like you is a typical example of what they have to deal with. "
"Oh." Su Bai nodded, but he did not seem to take it to heart.
"Now try and see if you can dissipate your evil energy and merge it into the puppet I made for you. Then find a way to possess someone and burn some paper money. Maybe we can fool the Ghost Messengers. It's the same on the ground and underground."
"Dissipate my evil energy?" Su Bai was a little surprised. "What's there to dissipate? I feel pretty good now. At least, it's much more comfortable than when I was an ordinary person. I even feel that some of my skills and abilities can be used in this state."
"We are going to sell our meat and do quests to leave this world, not to learn from Monkey Sun and wreak havoc in the Underworld," the fat puppet said helplessly. "Da Bai, listen to me. Can we be a little more peaceful? Who knows how many skill points the broadcast gave to the people in the Underworld when they designed this world? Also, I think that we have already used a loophole in the broadcast's design by becoming ghosts after we die. According to the broadcast's personality, once a loophole appears, it will spend more effort to fill it up. "
"I really have something to do." Su Bai said very seriously. "This is an opportunity. Not only is it such a pure soul, but this soul is also very malleable. I really haven't encountered an opportunity to break through in the environment of the story world in a long time."
"Break through?"
"The first transformation of an ancient zombie is to refine the body. The second transformation is to refine the soul. This is my best opportunity." Su Bai seemed to have thought of something. "Fatso, I'll help you find someone to possess first. Then, we'll go and get those corpses out. Let's see if the amount of meat you can get without my corpse."
"You want your physical body?"
"It's best to use my own body," Su Bai replied.
At this moment, the sound of a suona came from afar. However, there was no one around. Fatso must have found an absolutely hidden place to hide the formation.
"F * ck, it's so cold. Is this the Ghost Messengers?" Fatso said nervously. "Da Bai, are you really not going to consider my suggestion?"
"We can live now, but we will die in the future. We have to hurry." After Su Bai finished speaking, he held the fat puppet in his hand and planned to leave. However, things didn't seem to be so simple. Just as Fatso said, this time, the two of them had found a loophole in the broadcast rules. Therefore, the broadcast's response would be very extreme.
Without waiting for Su Bai to leave with Fatso, paper money scattered around them. The sound of the suona behind them became even clearer. As the paper money fell, it was like a barrier was set up around them.
"F * ck, this doesn't seem like something a ghost can do. Da Bai, you've met a big boss this time." Fatso said anxiously. "Let me out. He probably won't care about me."
Hearing this, Su Bai threw Fatso out. Sure enough, Fatso's puppet flew directly through the barrier and didn't cause any damage to him.
"Hehe, I really ran into him."
At this moment, a figure suddenly appeared in front of Su Bai. This person was wearing a white robe and a tall hat on his head. The hat had the words "Get Rich at First Sight" written on it. His tongue was long, but it didn't affect his speech. In his left hand was a long white feather duster. However, Su Bai knew that it wasn't a feather duster, but a "mourning stick".
Probably no one in China would be unfamiliar with the appearance of this guy in front of them.
"Come, come, come. Something happened here a few days ago, so I specially came to take a look today. Coincidentally, I met you. Forget it, seeing that you didn't kill anyone after becoming a malicious spirit, follow me obediently and become a Ghost Messengers."
When Fatso, who was thrown far away saw this scene, he immediately shivered.
"F * ck, do you have to be so exaggerated? You directly made a White Impermanence appear."
