"Are you still troubled by your child's rebelliousness?"
"Or do you feel that your husband, wife, father, mother... have some unbearable bad habit?"
"As a company boss, do you wish your employees could get along with you more pleasantly?"
"As a company employee, do you wish your boss could be more friendly?"
"Is there someone especially difficult in your life?"
"Do you often feel unwelcome in life?"
"Welcome to Good People Hall, where whether it's you or those you feel need to be better in life, everyone can come here."
"In fifteen days, we will make the target friendly, docile, and harmonious."
"Good People Hall, a great place to become kind."
The broadcast ends here.
Accompanied by soothing light music, the intellectual and charming female voice makes this speech seem full of hope and sunshine.
But to Wen Xishu, it felt bizarre.
He remembered seeing a city in the chaotic time stream of Pisces.
In the city...
There were no people aged thirteen to eighteen, and the children there were cannibalistic. The entire city felt sunny and cheerful, with smiles on everyone's faces.
Although the two places probably aren't related—
Wen Xishu still thought about it.
After all, neither place has "people."
It's hard to imagine what those whose brains were completely taken over by "them" would become when the true apocalypse arrives after leaving Good People Hall "treated."
People think that their once-familiar folks have just become better and returned to them...
Little do they know, those familiar faces are just monsters in human skin.
Thinking of this, Wen Xishu realized that perhaps to achieve the perfect ending, three must escape and describe the scene inside to draw attention.
The emergence of Good People Hall might be backed by not just monsters but something more evil or terrifying orchestrating behind the scenes.
Of course, all this must first escape the current predicament.
Now it seems Wen Xishu encountered a little problem.
"I have to switch to another perspective... Chris is confined, making it impossible for Chris to act in the short term."
"Counting numbers here would be a real waste of time."
"But if I switch roles, Chris stops counting, maybe it will awaken the 'them' inside, uh, quite troublesome."
If one doesn't leave Chris, who knows how long the confinement will last? Counting numbers endlessly, Wen Xishu feels this game would be too boring.
Chris is in the intensive care unit, without exploration ability.
"Now that Chris is stable, should I try to violently break open the confinement room door?"
After all, Chris was assigned items and sequences.
Wen Xishu can make Chris initiate an extreme kick to break out using the deadly soccer.
After thinking, Wen Xishu decided to wait for now.
At this moment, Wen Xishu touched the numbers on the wall again.
"Wait, could it be..."
Wen Xishu's hand caressed the wall marks, which were various numbers.
But this time, instead of thinking about the numbers, Wen Xishu just kept caressing them... His brain was in a state of emptiness.
A while passed, and the eerie feeling of being crawled over by something didn't appear.
Wen Xishu sighed:
"I see, the purpose of these numbers engraved here!"
Funny enough, after touching these numbers on the wall, even if Wen Xishu doesn't think about them, it won't awaken those lurking in him.
"Not sure of the principle yet, but it seems... once touching these engravings, corresponding shapes automatically surface in the mind?"
"The brain allocates extremely low computing power to instinctively think about what's touched?"
Wen Xishu wasn't certain, but now, he tested that even without Chris thinking anything, it seemed not to awaken those things.
"Indeed, there's always a remedy within three steps."
At this time, Wen Xishu received a familiar hint.
[The current character is in a safe state and won't attract 'their' attention for a short while, meeting the switching conditions. Switch character to Wise or Sage?]
Wen Xishu's vision appeared Britney and Zhou Fei's avatars.
"Britney has the greatest authority for action, and Scorpio Knife brought many in-game item support this time; should I enter from Britney's angle?"
From what he sees through the visuals, Zhou Fei seems already awake.
This puzzled Wen Xishu, as logically, Zhou Fei should still be asleep. Choosing Britney, with the reinforcement of Scorpio Knife's 'Great Tribute,' might find a breakthrough item.
But Wen Xishu wondered if there's no Scorpio Knife, then?
Zhou Fei took medicine and should have fallen asleep. Why did he suddenly wake up?
Wen Xishu decided to take a gamble, not choosing "Benevolent" Britney but "Wise" Zhou Fei.
"I roughly understand Chris's bravery. Hope you can truly live up to the Wise title."
After switching, the vision of Wen Xishu transformed again.
This time, Wen Xishu found himself back in a room with somewhat cold tones.
There wasn't just Zhou Fei in the room.
Yet, there was a sense of silence.
The so-called silence wasn't absolute quietness, but hearing certain sounds usually unheard in a peaceful environment—
That's what makes you feel extremely silent.
For instance, the sound of bugs crawling.
Wen Xishu had his eyes open because Zhou Fei had his eyes open.
But at that moment, Wen Xishu felt numerous bugs crawling. Crawling on others in the room!
