Chapter 490 Human choice, personal choice
White, pure white!
"Where is this?"
Yang Jian opened his eyes and looked around, but he could only see a pure white space. Apart from the almost extreme white, there was no other color.
And in such a world, countless people line up neatly in rows after rows, columns after columns.
Yang Jian was among them, trying to move, but his body was unable to move as if the pause button had been pressed. Only his consciousness and eyes could move.
"Li Leping?"
"Tong Qian? Zhong Shan? Fang Shiming? Ye Zhen? Su Fan? Xiong Wenwen? He Yuelian? Lin Bei? Lu Zhiwen?"
Because of the crowd gathering and the angle, he probably didn't see many people originally, but even so, he basically saw people he was familiar with.
Not only the captain and person in charge of the headquarters, but also some of his friends:
"Wang Shanshan! Zhang Wei!"
At the same time, Tong Qian, Ye Zhen, Fang Shiming and others also woke up. They also discovered that something was wrong around them, but they were unable to move or communicate, and were completely imprisoned here.
Unable to speak, unable to move.
It was like being suppressed by a ghost, everything was in an extremely weird state.
"Is it a consciousness-based supernatural being?"
Yang Jian quickly called out to the evil dog Guimeng in his heart. If it was really a conscious ghost attacking him, then he would have countermeasures.
But no matter how he shouted in his heart, the evil dog Ghost Dream seemed to disappear, not appearing at all, and not even responding to him in the slightest.
So, what's going on?
An uneasy feeling surged from Yang Jian's heart, and various complex emotions began to pour out from the bottom of his heart. But when this emotion came out, he was stunned again, "My emotions are back? So, Is this the store manager’s ghostland? Did he use his power to bring all of our consciousness together and forcefully place them in this unknown space? "
Not only Yang Jian realized this, but others also more or less guessed it.
Especially after seeing the people nearby, I recognized this even more, because basically the people here are people with supernatural powers.
Just by looking at the smart eyes, you can tell that these people are definitely not puppets, but have real souls and selves.
Apart from the store manager, there is no other possibility to bring together so many ghost masters, or people who possess supernatural powers through alternative means.
No, maybe there is, but at least judging from the situation discovered so far, there is no way.
So, does the store manager want to do something by calling everyone here to declare His rule?
At a certain moment, a loud voice sounded in everyone's hearts:
"Someone told me that there is only one way to end the supernatural era, and that is to create the strongest ghost realm, put all humans in it, and then use this ghost realm to block the invasion of other powerful ghosts. In this way, A normal world without ghosts. Some people may have heard of the name of this plan: Peach Blossom Land!”
"The Peach Blossom Spring Project has actually failed, but there is still a possibility of success."
"But this is a plan that determines the fate of everyone. Naturally, everyone should vote and let them decide whether they are willing to accept such a fate."
“That’s why I called everyone together to initiate this vote.”
"Everyone has a vote, whether you are a ghost master or an ordinary person, you all have the right to vote for your future. Next, just cast your most precious vote, no matter what the result is."
Finally, the voice disappeared, but two illusory option boxes appeared in front of everyone's eyes, one was "Agree" and the other was "Reject".
Everyone is still in a state of restraint, but they can decide to vote for or against through their consciousness.
"So, this vote is not just for ghost masters, but also for ordinary people? The store manager, he has brought all the human consciousness around the world into this space? Just to vote for Zhang Xianguang's plan? Zhang Xianguang , Why should he?" Yang Jian thought in his heart.
Fang Shiming, Tong Qian, He Yuelian and others were also in a bad mood.
They all know about the Peach Blossom Spring Project, and there is even He Yuelian, who is the tool of the Peach Blossom Spring Project and has become the biggest beneficiary of the Peach Blossom Spring Project.
But what?
Why, how could Zhang Xianguang's plan be revived from the dead, be promoted with such great strength, and be able to summon countless people to this space for a referendum?
Why? ! ! !
At the same time, in the sky where no one could look up, Lin Yuan was standing there quietly, and beside him, there were Zhang Xianguang, Wei Jing, Wang Chaling, and Wang Lu and his wife.
They all looked down with complicated and shocked faces.
In their eyes, the world below was divided into two parts, and the proportions of the two parts were very exaggerated. The small part on the left was only the size of a fist, while the part on the right was larger than a football field.
In these two parts of the world, there are densely packed figures, or in other words, consciousnesses drawn into this space from reality.
Every silhouette corresponds to a person in reality.
The fist-sized world on the left is full of ghost masters or people infected with supernatural powers, while the big world on the right is full of ordinary people.
But in front of these people standing next to the store manager, they can also see two virtual dialog boxes, one of which is "Agree" and the other is "Reject."
But unlike what those conscious minds below can see, they have no choice to vote. The two square boxes in front of them are data columns showing the vote of "agree" or "reject", as well as the proportional value.
The "Agree" column is a green data column, while the "Reject" column is a red data column. The two data columns are rising alternately.
At the moment, it seems that the voting data of the two parties are actually about the same?
"Is this...a bit too exaggerated?"
Wei Jing's voice trembled, not because of the two worlds below that were starting to vote, but because of the power Lin Yuan showed.
He can actually pull all the human consciousness in the world into this space in an instant?
Does this also prove that as long as He is willing, He can attack everyone instantly and turn the world into a dead place with no more living people?
Although His strength has been infinitely overestimated in the past, thinking that He has the power of a fairy, it has been accepted by everyone even if the scope has been restarted for decades.
But the scene in front of him completely made Wei Jing's mind go blank.
Lin Yuan shook his head, "It's not too exaggerated. Because of my current strength, I just brought in all the consciousness that can be brought in in the country. This has already placed a huge burden on me. At least now I can't influence the whole world." world.”
Listening to Lin Yuan's "modest" words, everyone fell silent.
But Lin Yuan did not stop and continued: "It's just a pity that a small number of people have hid in the safe house made of gold and cannot be affected by my supernatural power. Naturally, they cannot come here. Just treat it as Zuo just abstained, it’s not a big problem.”
The truth is more difficult than what Lin Yuan said.
Enveloping the whole country through the ghost realm of white mist is still too much pressure on him. Even if he has temporarily recruited the power of Meng Xiaodong, Zhang Bohua and other seven elders to increase the terror of the Peace Hotel, he still wants to Compared with the fully revived and actively revived White Mist Ghost Realm, it is still a little worse.
According to Lin Yuan's estimation, perhaps only by turning Zhang Dong into a puzzle piece of the Peace Hotel can the White Mist Ghost Realm be fully revived, allowing him to use the White Mist Ghost Realm without any scruples.
Only then can he use the White Mist Ghost Realm to implement the Peach Blossom Spring Plan mentioned by Zhang Xianguang.
certainly.
This means that Lin Yuan agrees with Zhang Xianguang's plan, but there are some things that he may not agree with, but he must have them so that he will not be controlled by others.
So after trying it for a while, Lin Yuan started to use tricks.
The essence of this world is the Nightmare Castle. After being controlled by Lin Yuan, it has undergone several transformations. The image is not important, what is important is the effect.
In Lin Yuan's hands, the power of the nightmare can be fully revived, but it is still under his control.
It was also through the power of nightmares that Lin Yuancai pulled everyone who could be brought in into this world of consciousness, allowing them to vote for their fate.
As for whether he will implement the Peach Blossom Spring plan after the investment is successful?
nonsense!
Lin Yuan is an honest man. As long as he agrees to do something, he will definitely do it. But... did he promise Zhang Xianguang to implement the Peach Blossom Spring Plan as long as the vote is successful?
Probably, no?
"This is enough. The store manager is right. Since the fate of all mankind is involved, it is natural for everyone to vote for their fate." Zhang Xianguang said.
And when he spoke, the number of people who voted "yes" obviously increased by one point.
Wei Jing glanced at Zhang Xianguang coldly, "You are too dangerous."
"So, are you going to find an opportunity to kill me after the game is over? I hope you can wait until then." Zhang Xianguang directly pointed out Wei Jing's thoughts and said matter-of-factly.
Wei Jing did not respond.
After the game is over, he will report to the headquarters about killing Zhang Xianguang, or rather the supernatural light, and I believe the headquarters will agree.
As he said just now, Zhang Xianguang is too dangerous!
In reality, Zhang Xianguang did not find Him, but he ran into the game, found Him from forty years ago, and then influenced Him in reality, causing such a terrifying scene.
If He really wants to drag everyone into the White Mist Ghost Realm, what kind of desperate scene will it be?
"Store manager, even if you vote, you still have to..." Wei Jing still wanted to fight for it, because now there are more people voting "yes".
Maybe in the end, Zhang Xianguang's Peach Blossom Land plan will really get the approval of most people. When the time comes, if he really wants to carry out the Peach Blossom Spring Project, he won't have to wait for the next time. He can complete it directly today. But when he subconsciously glanced at the two data beams for voting, he changed his mind in an instant, "The minority obeys Mostly, this is a matter of course.”
Just because now, the number of people who voted "reject" has actually exceeded the number, accounting for 60%.
"Ha!" Zhang Xianguang chuckled and said nothing.
Wei Jing pretended not to hear, and suddenly thought of another thing, "Store manager, for this vote, you brought everyone in, including ordinary people. In other words, the resurrection of the evil ghost has been Be known to everyone. This may cause panic and even turmoil when they return to reality.”
Why didn't the headquarters announce the news of the ghost's resurgence to the whole society, so that everyone could learn more about it and gain a glimmer of hope in the face of supernatural events?
Aren't you worried that chaos will break out?
Not to mention uncontrollable supernatural events such as the resurgence of evil spirits, even some doomsday crises, zombie outbreaks, etc. that sound like the plot of movies, novels or games, may trigger zero-dollar shopping incidents.
It is precisely because of the efforts of the headquarters that when there is chaos abroad, most people in the country can still live in a normal world without worrying about supernatural events and attacks by ghosts.
But now?
Wei Jing can already imagine what kind of terrible conflicts will break out in reality after the voting is over and the ordinary people here return to reality!
"Don't worry, when I send them back, I will clear their memories of this period. No one will remember what happened here." Lin Yuan said.
Wei Jing breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good."
Zhang Xianguang's expression changed slightly, "Can the store manager erase memories on a large scale, including those of the ghost masters below?"
Wei Jing also noticed something was wrong, and even understood the meaning of Zhang Xianguang's words.
You know, in reality, there are many old people who have lived from decades ago, or even a hundred years ago, and there is an old man Qin in charge of the headquarters.
Needless to say, their strength is natural, and they have experienced countless supernatural events.
Logically speaking, even if Mr. Qin and others have not participated, they should have heard about the current performance of the Peace Hotel and the store manager in the virtual game and Wang Lu's diary.
But no one has any memory of the Peace Hotel and its manager. This is incredible.
Now Lin Yuan has actually shown the ability to erase the memories of more than a billion people in a certain period of time on a large scale, even at the same time.
Does this mean that Lin Yuan used this supernatural power to erase his existence from everyone's memory?
"Okay."
Lin Yuan knew what they were thinking, but he didn't lie.
He could really do it, and the consumption was not special, it was just a little troublesome, and his promise made Wei Jing fall silent.
The voting was still going on. Both Zhang Xianguang and Wei Jing were staring at the light beam nervously, with no other thoughts at all. On the contrary, Wang Chaling seemed to be indifferent.
"I thought you would also side with Wei Jing." Wang Lu said suddenly.
Wang Chaling glanced at Lin Yuan calmly, "I won't stand on either side of them, because... they are all too stupid. Or maybe the desire to win has made them lose their original judgment."
Wang Lu asked: "What do you want to say?"
"They have all forgotten that the store manager in front of them was the store manager forty years ago. Moreover, he did not agree to Zhang Xianguang or Wei Jing. The result of the vote is the choice he will make. Is it interesting that he is still arguing there? "Wang Chaling said with disdain, it was a kind of contempt coming from the aspect of wisdom.
Wang Lu's eyes were full of disappointment, "You said you have studied abroad, so what have you learned? Is it possible that what they need is just a possibility to influence Him?"
That disappointed look deeply irritated Wang Chaling, making him very unwilling to ask, "What is possible?"
But as soon as the words came out of his mouth, he understood.
Wei Jing and Zhang Xianguang actually knew that Lin Yuan had not promised anything at all, but through this vote, he could see everyone's choices and collective will.
At a specific moment in the future, will the result of this vote become a major weight that affects His choice?
"So, is that so?"
There are over 10,000 people, and there are no boundaries.
Now there are more than one billion people present, what a spectacular scene it is?
Unfortunately, only Lin Yuan, Wei Jing, Zhang Xianguang, Wang Chaling, and Wang Lu and his wife, who were assigned personalities and memories by Li Gui, could see this scene.
But their attention is not on this.
Wang Chaling was thinking about Wang Lu's words. He was not worried that Wang Lu would harm him, even though Wang Lu had said many times that he would not be allowed to be born in this world.
It was a feeling of closeness derived from blood, which made him believe that this was his father.
Tiger poison does not eat its seeds.
So, was I really wrong?
Wei Jing and Zhang Xianguang's attention was all focused on the red and blue light pillars that were rising alternately, looking forward to a more favorable result for them.
Time passed minute by minute, but it was extremely difficult for Wei Jing and Zhang Xianguang.
Finally at a certain moment, the red and blue light pillars that were still rising rapidly and alternately stopped. Looking at the final result, Wei Jing and Zhang Xianguang fell silent, and then both turned to look at Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan was also a little surprised. When he saw this, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and said: "Why, do you suspect that I was the one who deliberately made the number of people choosing the two options equal?"
That's right.
The final result is that the number of people who voted "Agree" and the number of people who voted "Reject" are equal, the heights of the red and blue light beams are the same, and the voting ratio above is both 50%.
"No, store manager, you have no reason to do that. I just think this time's voting is a bit inappropriate. Not everyone was included, and there will always be some omissions. If the gap in the voting results is relatively large, then there is no problem. , but now that the votes are the same, the votes of these people are very important," Zhang Xianguang said.
Before Lin Yuan could speak, Wei Jing snorted coldly: "Why, you still want to go to the safe house and pull those people out to vote?"
He had just looked at it carefully.
In the fist-sized world, Cao Yanhua, Li Jun and others do not exist, which means that they are now in a safe house.
So despite his dissatisfaction now, if Zhang Xianguang can really convince Lin Yuan, then he doesn't have much to worry about.
Zhang Xianguang shook his head, "There is no need. Since they missed this important moment, there is no need to force them. But there are still us here, and we are also members of this world. We haven't voted yet, right? Shop Sir, I hope that as members of this world, we can also have the opportunity to vote.”
Lin Yuan smiled and said: "This is natural."
After the words fell, Zhang Xianguang found that there were two more voting options in front of him, and then pressed the "Agree" button without hesitation, and then glanced at Wei Jing.
Wei Jing also clicked the "Reject" button as quickly as possible, and then looked at Wang Chaling, "Captain Wang, it's your choice. And Mr. and Mrs. Wang, please also..."
< br>
"We don't have a choice button, probably because we belong to your past and not your present," Wang Lu said.
The woman nodded, confirming this.
So, the final vote fell on Wang Chaling, but what made Wei Jing uneasy was that Wang Chaling did not firmly choose "refuse", which made him feel uneasy.
"Captain Wang, are you trying to enter the so-called Peach Blossom Spring?" Wei Jing asked.
Wang Chaling did not answer him, but glanced at Zhang Xianguang, and finally at Lin Yuan, and asked softly: "Boss Lin, in your world, as long as I pay the price, I can go there and see my Parents, is that so?”
Lin Yuan glanced at him deeply, but suddenly disappeared from the spot, obviously unwilling to influence Wang Chaling's choice because of himself.
"It seems that you are the one who understands best. The so-called Peach Blossom Spring not only gives the living a stable future, but also gives the living a chance to see the dead. Ghost paintings are not good, it is so terrifying It's not that high, and there's no way to restart it for decades at a time, but the store manager can do it. Or, you're willing to bet on luck and bet that the future virtual game will come to an era where your parents exist again," Zhang Xianguang said.
Wang Chaling took a deep breath, "I understand."
Then, he made his choice, but the moment he made his choice, this conscious world that was so pure and white that there was no other color began to collapse.
In other words, all consciousness has been driven away.
Of course, before this, everyone's memories of this place were also erased, as if it had never happened.
Only Wei Jing, Zhang Xianguang, and Wang Chaling retained their memories, but they also returned to the Peace Hotel, the one located outside Dadong City in the virtual game.
"Wang Chaling, you are so disappointing and so selfish." Wei Jing looked at Wang Chaling with indifference in his eyes.
Wang Chaling didn't care at all. What he cared about was never Wei Jing or the headquarters, but his family. But even his family was staring at him with indifference at this moment.
Wang Lu's eyes were filled with disappointment, and he no longer even had the desire to scold Wang Chaling, "Brother Lin, come here this time..."
