"When..." Heavy Artillery was stunned.
There was a bang behind me, and when I turned around, Liu Dao had already entered the room and closed the door.
"It's not you..."
The ghost-faced fox reminded through the crack in the door: "Why are you still standing there?"
Another bang.
Chongpao had no choice but to pick up his bracelet from the coffee table with a gloomy face and hurriedly entered the only remaining room.
As he closed the door, the bracelets of the four people began to broadcast at the same time again:
[Supervisor log updated]
[Total number of souls redeemed: 1]
【Total number of successes: 0】
【Performance is not up to standard, please keep up the good work】
[Favorability deduction: 10]
[Distance to next refresh indicator: 6 days]
Up to this point, everyone’s broadcast content was the same, and Ghost-faced Fox and Liu Dao’s broadcasts also ended here.
But Jiang Lu and Chong Pao continued to broadcast.
Heavy Artillery: [Your favorability is detected to be 49. If it is lower than 50, the supervisor power you can use will be weakened. You will no longer have absolute suppression on prisoners. You may encounter resistance or even threats from prisoners during redemption. Please be careful.]
Jiang Lu: [You blasphemed Jesus during the redemption. The God of Redemption is very pleased. Your favorability has been adjusted back to 89. Please keep up the good work.]
Heavy artillery: “?”
Jiang Lu: “!”
Heavy artillery: "Fuck!"
Jiang Lu: “What the hell?”
Although they were not in the same place, they said it in unison at the same time.
"The God of Redemption wants to send people to heaven, but it turns out that he is not on the same side as God?" Jiang Lu was very surprised: "What do you mean by traitor?"
Compared to his fun-loving spirit, the heavy artillery seemed much more solemn.
"There is actually such a setting..." But thinking of Jiang Lu, he calmed down a lot: "Even nails can be hammered in. Even if there are random threats, I should be able to deal with them. As long as there is enough firepower, it won't be a problem."
The Ghost-Faced Fox stared at his favorability level, which had now become 58, and fell into deep thought.
Is there any problem if the favorability becomes low?
60 points to pass? Or 50 points to pass?
The report said nothing...
How are the others doing?
It should have changed too, right?
The Exorcist panel cannot be used to contact them in the field... This lack of information makes me feel uneasy...
Damn, so urgent!
We can only wait until the curfew is lifted and then ask in detail.
Liu Dao looked at 53's favorability and felt a little confused at first, just like the Ghost-faced Fox.
But she felt relieved when she thought that there were people who were lower than her...
Although the four rooms are slightly different in size, the interior layout is not much different.
A small round wooden table, a wooden chair, a single bed, a window that overlooks the endless foggy sea outside the Black Tower, and there is not even a bathroom. This is all the configuration here.
Compared with the grandeur of the hall, the room appears plain and simple, with the style of a construction site dormitory.
Jiang Lu looked around but didn't find anything special.
It looks like this is just an ordinary resting spot, not much better than digging a hole and putting a bed in MC.
"Now that things have come to this, let's go to sleep first."
Jiang Lu lifted the somewhat stiff quilt and sat on it.
He usually slept naked, so he took off his supervisor robe.
But just as he was taking off his coat, he suddenly discovered something very serious -
In the spiritual realm, the [warm silk nightgown] he was equipped with materialized!
"hey-hey."
Jiang Lu finally did not choose to sleep naked. Instead, he wore pajamas and closed his eyes contentedly with the mentality of giving it a try.
......
Six o'clock in the morning.
Although the black tower was still shrouded in darkness, the bracelet began broadcasting on time.
[The curfew has been lifted and you have regained your freedom]
The four of them came out of the room one after another and sat down in the hall.
Jiang Lu and Liu Dao looked radiant and had a good rest. Zhong Pao had a serious look on his face because he and Ghost-faced Fox came out the earliest. They opened the door almost as soon as the bracelet finished the announcement, so before the two of them came out, they had already communicated with each other about the ten points deducted from their favorability.
As for the Ghost-Faced Fox, he looked haggard, but it couldn't be said that he hadn't rested well. He looked as if he hadn't slept the whole night.
"We're in trouble."
As soon as he saw the two of them coming to the hall, the Ghost-faced Fox said solemnly to Jiang Lu and Liu Dao:
"After the favorability drops below 50, we may encounter unexpected situations during the redemption period. Although I don't know what it is, it should be some kind of mechanism that prevents us from taking action."
He did not ask about the other two.
Because none of the four completed redemption the day before, their favorability must have been deducted.
However, only the heavy artillery was below fifty, and the others had no impact for the time being.
So Jiang Xin, who was not specifically cueed, quietly turned the side of the bracelet that showed the favorability to the wrist, and then sat next to them: "Is there such a thing?"
Heavy Artillery was not so panicked at first, but after listening to the analysis of Ghost Face Fox who had been thinking deeply all night, he finally realized the seriousness of the problem. Now his expression was not very good: "Yesterday was so smooth, and we were only one step away from completing redemption. I'm afraid today will be more difficult."
"If the number continues to decrease like this, it may take three or even four times to redeem a prisoner..."
Ghost Face Fox sighed: "And we don't know how much the favorability will increase after successful redemption. If it increases too little, it will become more and more difficult to redeem it later.
Our choice yesterday was the easiest, but we didn’t succeed. If one person failed, it might have been just a coincidence, but if everyone failed, we have to suspect that it was the mechanism.
That is to say, according to the worst-case scenario, it would take at least two redemptions and a total of three days to complete one target.
But on the third day, our favorability had each been deducted by 20 points, falling below 50 points. So the efforts we made on the first day would most likely be greatly reduced or even wasted because of this debuff.
Then this figure of the fastest three days may have to increase.
During this period, our favorability will become lower and lower, and the difficulty will become greater and greater. It is very likely that we will be in a situation where all the favorability will be deducted after a week, but we still cannot complete a target.
Therefore, we don’t have much time left, and we must conquer this spiritual realm before our favorability is completely deducted.”
"These are the worst-case scenarios. We shouldn't be so unlucky..." After Liu Dao understood the logic, he suddenly felt that the setting of this favorability was full of malice.
"This is an S-level spiritual realm." Ghost-faced Fox said word by word: "We have to prepare for the worst."
Jiang Lu pondered for a long time and finally understood the interests involved.
"I suddenly remembered an old friend... Oh no, I should say a real event in history. What we are experiencing now is highly similar to that event."
Several people who were in a depressed mood looked at Jiang Lu.
Jiang Lu sighed deeply: "Have you ever heard of Pinxixi?"
"Pin Xixi?" Liu Dao and Chong Pao obviously had never heard of this term.
But the ghost-faced fox's expression changed, as if he had thought of something.
Jiang Lu showed hatred on his face: "I also occasionally read and learned about this in ancient books. This is an evil company that plays with numbers. It claims that if you invite relatives and friends to participate in the bargaining, you will have the opportunity to receive red envelopes or irresistible discounts.
But no matter how he called people or how he cut it, his progress bar was always at 99.99%. Those who were kept in the dark did not know that this was a cursed number. It could be 99.9, or 99.99, or even 99.999. You never know how many digits there are after the decimal point.
You just have to know that it will never be 100.
If everything is the same as Ghost-Faced Fox's analysis, then this is no different from the current situation. We will always be infinitely close to complete redemption, but will never succeed until our favorability is reduced to zero.
It goes without saying that what will happen when the favorability is reset to zero, which means that we will be liquidated by the messenger before we complete the mission of conquering the Spirit Realm!"
"Although the situations are similar, why do you look so bitter and resentful?" After being reminded by him, the Ghost-Faced Fox finally remembered the company that had been short-lived many years ago. So he was very confused. So many years have passed, almost half a century, and they are not from the same era, so why did Jiang Lu behave like this?
"Don't you understand yet?"
Jiang Lu shook his head:
“Heita plays with numbers, Pinxixi plays with numbers.
The Black Tower gave us an impossible task, and Pinxixi also gave us an impossible task.
Heita paints a rosy picture for regulators, and Pinxixi paints a rosy picture for consumers.
The most important thing is that Heita and Pinxixi have never appeared together.
So I seriously suspect that the Black Tower is Pin Xixi's reincarnation!"
Chapter 13: Split up!
"No matter how you look at it, this is a bit..." The ghost-faced fox was shocked.
Liu Dao also thought Jiang Lu was a little too sensitive: "History always repeats itself, this is normal."
Heavy Artillery had a bitter face and said nothing.
Because so far, he is the first person to feel the malice in favorability.
As someone who enjoys such an honor, he is under tremendous pressure.
If I think about it carefully, the little bit of favorability I lost after I couldn't help but complain about Jiang Lu yesterday has now become a foreshadowing.
