…but there’s just no sign of any humans.
Even if Bai Zhi summoned ten shadow guards and asked them to search the two blocks separately, they still couldn't find any clues, not even a single footprint.
The hundreds of people trapped here, as well as the dozen players who came in before him, all disappeared without a trace, leaving not even a trace.
"Are they all gone..."
Standing at the street entrance and looking at the deserted street in front of him, Bai Zhi looked thoughtful.
To be honest, intelligence warfare is his strength, especially after he completed the core construction of his talent and derived his own talent skills from it.
It's a pity that the current trust value is not enough, otherwise he would just ask the glass windows next to him, where would he need to spend unnecessary time...
Logically speaking, even if those ordinary people do not exist in these two blocks, they will at least leave some traces, let alone those players.
…has it been cleaned up? But how can we achieve such a comprehensive...!
His expression suddenly changed, and Bai Zhi raised his head and looked at the sky.
At the end of the horizon, a thick black line quickly advanced from that direction, but wherever it was swept by the black line, all the scenery became blank.
In that situation, it's as if everything here is a painting on the canvas, and the black line is an eraser. As soon as the eraser is wiped over, everything on the canvas is completely erased and becomes nothing.
"Damn it, my cat..."
The black line was moving very fast. Bai Zhi had just noticed the black line, and the shadow puppets and ragdoll cats he had sent to the other side to search had been completely erased.
Under the cover of that invisible rule, the shadow puppet and the ragdoll cat couldn't make any decent reaction at all. And in Bai Zhi's induction, the shadow puppet almost wiped the black line and A complete declaration of death...instant kill! !
Under the rules that affect the entire world, any defensive means are declared ineffective.
"Judging by the speed... we'll be here in about half a minute?"
After glancing at the ragdoll cat that automatically returned to his backpack and began to repair itself, and after gathering all the released shadow guards into his own shadow, Bai Zhi, with a dark face, stepped into a house nearby. In the cafeteria.
Although he was unable to obtain any information from the nearby buildings due to insufficient trust, in the current situation, the way out was actually obvious.
When the black line in the sky that erased the world was about to reach Bai Zhi, Bai Zhi touched his hand on the painting hanging in the restaurant hall.
So in the blink of an eye, his figure disappeared on the spot.
… … … … … … … … …
"pretty!!"
Looking at the blank canvas in front of him, he reached out his hand and patted the table with some excitement. Yanhuo Fengyue stood up from the chair directly.
"How's it going? Let me just say he's absolutely fine!?"
"...You seem to be a little too excited."
After glancing at her, a girl dressed in ancient style sitting next to her couldn't help but remind her.
"Don't forget, this is just one of the bets. We still need to win more."
"A real man, with him here, we will definitely be able to win all the way."
After waving his hands, Yanhuo Fengyue sat down again with a confident look on his face.
"He is very strong!!"
"I know, but in this type of weird story, he can't win alone, right?"
Seeing her teammates around her like this, the ancient girl couldn't help but look helpless.
"And besides, we..."
"Do you want to start the next gambling round?"
Before the ancient girl finished speaking, a slightly weird sound came from in front of them.
"Of course, come on! Keep going!!"
Rolling up his sleeves, putting one foot up on the chair, Yan Huo Fengyue stretched out his hand and slapped the table hard. His face was full of confidence, and his words had the style of a gambling saint.
"If I don't let you lose so much that you can't even wear Eraserhead today, my surname will not be Yan!!"
Ancient style girl: "..."
The two of them are currently in a wooden room. A rectangular table lies in front of them, and behind the square table... stands a two-meter-tall pencil.
Slender, line-like hands and feet grew out of the pencil's body, and his face had facial features like a child's scribblings.
Behind this pencil, there are piles of scrolls, and on each scroll... there is a lifelike and frightening portrait.
… … … … … … … …
At the same time, while Yanhuo Fengyue and the others were continuing their gambling game, on the other side, Bai Zhi also followed them into a spacious and bright hall.
But before Bai Zhi could clearly see what was going on around him, a figure next to him suddenly rushed over and hugged his hand.
Then, as his arms fell into the softness, an unusually bright smile came into his eyes.
"Hello, senior~"
"Well… "
Looking at the brightly smiling girl in front of him, Bai Zhi couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.
To be honest, he really didn't expect to meet each other here.
—ATM No. 2, my school girl’s late words.
"No...why are you here?"
While looking at the surrounding environment, Bai Zhi calmly tried to pull his hand out, but the other party held him very tightly. He twitched a few times but didn't move...
You know, his strength attribute has reached 40 points, but he was stunned by the opponent... The opponent's strength attribute was far higher than he imagined.
"Because I received a commission and the commission was pretty good, so I came to help."
Wan Ci smiled happily as she held his hand in her arms.
"Senior, are you here to help too? But things here will be over soon."
"Uh... Strictly speaking, I haven't figured out the situation yet..."
… … … … …
The two of them were here to treat each other like gentlemen and concubines, but the other people in the hall were collectively dumbfounded, especially some of the players who were more familiar with Wanci. They were collectively shocked at this moment. jaw.
A person who has always had a cold face and an indifferent attitude towards everyone suddenly becomes passionate, and no matter who he is, he will be shocked.
Although Wan Ci's appearance is first-class, because he is really petite, and he always likes to wear that kind of black and airtight long windbreaker with a hood on weekdays, he gives people the impression that he is... A lifeless gloom without any vitality.
But now, does the other party still look as gloomy as before? The whole body is still "bing" all the time, and the "bing" is shining...
"... Weird stories about gambling?"
After listening to the general explanation of Wan Ci, Bai Zhi couldn't help but look a little surprised.
"That's right, it's gambling in nature."
Pulling him to sit down on the chair, Wan Ci held his hand and sat next to him, telling the story in detail.
"In reality, this ghost story incident can also be regarded as a typical example of ghost stories getting out of control... "
Soon, Bai Zhi learned the cause and effect of this incident from Wan Ci.
—In the beginning, this was really just a weird story.
The subject of this strange story is a pencil with a strong gambling character hidden in the painting. This pencil will start gambling games one after another with everyone who comes into contact with the painting.
The five people who were first drawn into the painting were forced to gamble one after another with Kaitan, and then one after another they lost everything they could, starting from the very beginning. Hair, nails and other small things then developed into the internal organs and various human organs. The first five people lost hundreds of games and completely lost themselves.
"What happened next?"
Bai Zhi raised his eyebrows slightly.
"If it was just this type of weird story, how could it later evolve to the point of swallowing the world?"
"… This is my fault."
Before Wan Ci could reply, a hoarse voice came from the side. When Bai Zhi turned his head to look, he saw a man with tiredness written on his face sitting down beside him at some point. opposite.
"This is a growth-type weird story. Every time it wins a bet, its ability will grow by one point. When I finally realized this, it had grown to a quite terrifying scale."
"Growth... Do you mean that the three blocks that disappeared mysteriously in the real world were exported?"
Suddenly realizing a certain possibility, Bai Zhi's expression couldn't help but look a little weird.
"Yes, the other side won those three blocks."
Rubbing his face vigorously with both hands, Ye Yanzhixi opened his mouth and answered.
"The first five people, out of fear and wanting to redeem their bodies, bet their houses and their families in reality, and then implicated the entire neighborhood."
"You didn't stop it?"
Looking at the other party, Bai Zhi raised his eyebrows slightly.
"If I remember correctly, the disappearance of the first street happened three hours after you came in, right?"
"... When I came in, I happened to encounter the last person who lost and everything turned into a picture. After understanding the rules, I wanted to help win people over."
After a moment of silence, Ye Yanzhixi spoke.
"In the first few games, I placed big bets and successfully won those people back... After this, we should have chosen to leave here, and then seal this painting permanently, and end this strange incident. of."
"But there was an accident?"
"...Yes, those people went gambling again."
Ye Yanzhi sighed in his mouth.
"Because of the rules on the gambling table, I couldn't even stop it. I could only watch those few people gamble everything under the temptation of that pencil. From my own house, my own family, my own wife, My own child... In the end, the situation turned into this."
"Seduction? I think it's interests and desires."
Bai Zhi curled his lips.
"I think at that time, that pencil must have offered them temptations they couldn't refuse, such as money, extraordinary power, lifespan... Gamblers never deserve sympathy."
"..."
Ye Yanzhi responded in silence.
"Okay, I have roughly figured out the cause and effect. The reason why this situation was brought under control later was just because those ordinary people couldn't bear it and left the gambling table... Where are those people?"
Bai Zhi stretched out his hand and pressed his forehead slightly.
"Also, according to what you said, we should all appear at the gambling table. Why do we appear here?"
"Those people we have locked up will be held accountable by the law."
Ye Yanzhixi pressed his temples hard.
"As for what's happening now... that's because we won the chance to change the rules."

Volume 2 The Miracle of Micro Probability: Chapter 1290 Chapter 373 [o??o?]: Pencil (4k)
—This is a fairly typical growth story.
This type of weird talk is easy to deal with but difficult to deal with.
As long as the possibility of the growth of such strange rumors can be eliminated at the original source, this thing can be said to be vulnerable.
Take this incident as an example. Ye Yanzhixi could have solved and contained this strange story by himself, but unfortunately it got out of control in the end.
This time's weird story is not only a growth type, but also a rules type.
Unless you have the strength to break the rules, you can only follow the rules honestly.
At the beginning, this ghost story was actually quite weak, and could only bet on things like hair and nails. However, as it grew rapidly, more and more things could be used as bets.
House, family, relatives, friends... the list never ends.
Bai Zhi arrived a little late. The current situation was basically under control. It was only a matter of time before the incident could be resolved safely.
"By the way, how much did you lose?"
"That's a lot, there are currently three blocks, and over a hundred victims that haven't been won back."
Ye Yanzhi sighed in his mouth.
