Chapter 155: "Word Games" In the New Era

As the rising feeling disappeared, Yao Yan opened his eyes again and saw the starry sky and the water surface connected together.

At the same time, another picture appeared in his vision:

[New Era]

[Humans have been able to transfer their consciousness to other carriers. ]

[Humans have abandoned their weak bodies. ]

Flesh and blood are weak?

Yao Yan's sight paused slightly.

[Humans are drowning in endless games. ]

Games?

[And the beginning of all this originated from a breakthrough in the game. ]

Game breakthrough, virtual reality technology?

However, the result is not.

[Humans have transferred their consciousness to new bodies through technology and the medium of will. ]

[And this technological breakthrough originated from a game initiated by several young people in a certain era in the past, using text as the medium. ]

[A game with no images, no audio and video, only text. ]

[According to the rules, each player's turn, the description he made in his own round of the text game, the other players need to complete and realize it as much as possible within one day. 】

【This game, which was completely based on self-consciousness at the beginning, gradually attracted many people. 】

【Among them, there are also many business owners and powerful people who have huge resources. 】

【The number of players in this word game is growing at a very fast speed. 】

【Every player is looking forward to his turn, and for this, they are even willing to wait for a whole year. 】

【However, this is of course not the only one. 】

【In society, when seeing this game gradually becoming larger and more profitable, imitators soon emerged. 】

【However, it was at this time that the players of this word game almost made a decision at the same time -】

【Eliminate the imitators. 】

【In turn, in the same way, other word game players were not unified enough and were forced to prepare for a counterattack under high pressure. 】

【And unfortunately, some of the players of the first word game wrote down the request to change the name of the organization or disguise themselves as other word games in their own turns. 】

【The chaos began. 】

【Almost every player and host of the word game claimed that they were the leaders of the first word game. 】

【Unknowingly, countless capital and non-capital forces have participated in this word game. 】

【It is enough to destroy the inertia of an entire great country and cannot be stopped. 】

【No country or force is willing to let itself become a barrier in the way. 】

【This absurd game, which was originally intended for entertainment, has engulfed the entire world. 】

【No one knows how this game, which was easily stopped at the beginning, has expanded to its current scale. 】

【Similarly, no one knows who wrote what in this absurd word game, and used this game that engulfed countless forces to promote the development of consciousness transfer technology. 】

【This game, which has lasted for hundreds of years and has never ended, has destroyed all the sufficiently large forces in the world, and rolled their corpses into this game to serve the continuation of the game. 】

【And the most terrifying thing, of course, is the player in each round, the one who can drive the forces of all parties in the world with his personal will. 】

【However, everyone understands that the players at this moment are no longer the same as the players hundreds of years ago. 】

【There are intricate forces behind the shadows of these writers. 】

【Go, do your best to participate in this word game that constantly distorts the world. 】

【Whether it is to destroy this game, stop this game, make this game more crazy, or anything else, it is all determined by your will. 】

【Of course, the premise is that you are the writer. 】

As the last line of text emerged, a huge map appeared in Yao Yan's vision.

This map is a mixture of various styles, but what Yao Yan can find is that the markings and terrain of the power areas on this map are very different from the world he was familiar with during his lifetime.

【Rumor】

【.】

【Phenomenon 3: The target affected by your phenomenon card will leave a mark on the body, and the mark will continue to erode the target's spirit to grow. You can detonate the mark at any time to cause the same effect on the surrounding targets. If it is not detonated for a long time, the mark will detonate itself when it completes its growth or is affected by external forces. 】

At this time, Yao Yan saw the new ability description that appeared under the [Rumor] ability mark.

Spread?

Almost the moment he saw the ability, Yao Yan realized that this ability should correspond to the spread of the concept of rumors.

If it was just spreadability, Yao Yan would think it was a good thing.

To use a vivid example, this thing is equivalent to toxins.

That is, when he saw this ability, Yao Yan immediately thought of one possible related influencing condition after another.

However, it is obviously not now, and there is no opportunity for him to continue to explore.

As his thoughts floated, his ability appeared on the illusory screen:

[Crow Mouth]

[Wolf is Coming]

[Rumor]

[Draft]

[Backfire]

[Behind the Scenes]

[Phenomenon 1: Select an area, and draw a peek-proof curtain around this area. When you are in this area, you can use this phenomenon card, and everything in the curtain will be ignored and disregarded by individuals outside the curtain area. After a period of time, the effect disappears. ]

[Phenomenon 2: During the duration of the ability, everything that leaves the curtain will be observed and noticed by individuals outside the curtain area when entering the nearby area. ]

When Yao Yan saw the description of the latest ability, he realized that his previous guess seemed to be wrong.

Although the concept is similar to the fourth wall, it is not the same thing.

It is not the "fourth wall", not the audience in the auditorium, but the "behind the scenes", the staff in the backstage.

From the description of the ability, the relevant abilities can only take effect when the "curtain" exists.

The range is "'selected' area".

The prerequisite should be "when in this area", so the ability of the rumor should ignore this condition and take effect in any area?

The effect is "everything in the area will be ignored by people outside the area"?

And phenomenon 2, the ability looks like an actor coming on stage from the backstage?

Well, maybe it's not just the stage, but also the props?

The scope is "while the ability lasts"

The prerequisite should be "when leaving this area"

The effect is "will be noticed by individuals observed outside the curtain area"

It sounds like an ability that will automatically attract the attention of others.

However, he soon realized that something was wrong -

Before he made any choice, a feeling of falling enveloped him, and several of the crows in front of him fell into the map with him.
