Chapter 110: [Beauty Above All] Instance Destruction
This world had no sunlight.
The next morning, the world returned to its dazzling, colorful state.
The lights were so bright that no one cared if there was any sunlight.
The people of the Beautiful World opened their eyes and immediately turned on their live streams.
Some started broadcasting, while others watched.
However, a virus suddenly spread to almost everyone’s phones.
The phone screen suddenly went black, and a pixelated ghost face appeared, revealing an eerie smile.
Immediately after the ghost face disappeared, a line of text popped up on the phone screen.
[You’ve been deceived!!]
Bloody words, exuding an ominous meaning.
[There’s no money in the Beautiful Bank!]
[Your money has been stolen!!]
After the third message popped up, the phone screen went dark again and then returned to normal.
No one wouldn’t be afraid of their money being stolen.
Especially in this twisted world, all desires were magnified to the extreme.
People craved money, fame, and status.
The people within the world immediately erupted.
Some subconsciously called the bank.
The bank claimed it was someone’s prank.
However, soon many people heard a loud bang.
Countless people walked out of their homes and looked in the direction of the bank.
A huge firework had exploded there at some unknown time.
Those close to the bank found that the bank’s door had been broken open.
A group of people wearing pixelated ghost face masks seemed to be robbing it.
There was also someone shouting at the door.
“Everyone come and see! There’s no money in the bank at all!”
Someone in the crowd curiously walked over.
Of course, this was actually a player.
But once one person went over, a second followed.
More people were still observing.
Until screams came from inside.
“Where’s the money? Where’s my money?!”
That heart-wrenching roar immediately drew more people inside.
The bank staff naturally wanted to stop them, but they were all restrained by the players.
Someone took photos and videos.
The vault behind the bank was indeed empty.
“Where’s the money?”
“Return the money!”
“Beautiful Bank, give me back my money!”
Such voices rang out in the crowd at some unknown time.
More and more people began to shout.
A player took this opportunity to smash the bank.
So the people followed suit and started smashing the bank.
People are most easily swayed by the crowd, especially in this world.
When they started taking action, their emotions gradually loosened up.
Bai Cha released the second virus.
Actually, this couldn’t be called a virus. It was a prop card that could be used three times, and it cost her 500 points.
She originally thought of using it for live streaming when she exchanged for it. Who said such things couldn’t be used to boost fame?
The name of the prop card was: Following the Network Cable to Find You.
After use, it could quickly spread to all network-connected phones or computers.
Three images could be edited.
The three images Bai Cha released were naturally those three sentences.
Just as people were incredibly angry and starting to demand their money, their phones all buzzed.
After the ghost face, a sentence popped up.
[Beautiful Sin did it!]
[They’re using you for human experiments!]
[They’re colluding together!]
The people’s anger then began to shift.
They went to the Beautiful Sin Hospital.
Players were still stirring up trouble in the mix.
There were still corpses on the fourth floor that hadn’t been dealt with yet.
Even if people couldn’t see those heads, they could see these corpses.
And it was best if they couldn’t see them. Once fear spread, it wouldn’t have this effect.
Bai Cha hadn’t thought about revealing this world to them.
She even used a skill when sending the second set of images.
The duration of the lie was only one minute.
But that was enough. People who were blindly following the crowd wouldn’t think too much even if they realized the problem.
She used the prop card for the third time.
[Where are the people on the charm榜?]
[Destroy the buildings around you, and you will see the truth!]
[Demand justice!]
The people of the Beautiful World, who had long since completely let go, began to destroy their surroundings.
They had wanted to destroy things for a long time.
This was too normal. This world was so oppressive, so twisted.
Seemingly focused on beauty and prioritizing appearance above all else, in reality, it was all blatant exploitation.
Using so-called “love points” to exchange for money, fame, and status, stimulating them to desperately pursue beauty.
But to pursue beauty, one must first have money.
And money requires love points.
This was inherently a vicious cycle. Beautiful Sin then created an opening in this cycle, seemingly giving everyone a chance to breathe.
It even genuinely made people see hope.
However, in reality, those people had long been replaced, their final value squeezed out.
They had actually already begun to destroy things, albeit in the form of words and targeting “ugliness.”
At first, the players guided people to destruction, but later, no guidance was needed at all. They gathered together silently.
“Is this really going to work?” A player looked at this magical scene, still finding it unbelievable.
They just inexplicably started inciting riots?
“It will…” Bai Cha raised her head and looked at the sky.
“Look.”
As the light dimmed, the sky above turned dark again. However, with each act of destruction, the sky seemed to flicker, as if the screen was broken.
The people immersed in destruction didn’t notice any of this.
As building after building collapsed, the flickering overhead became more and more obvious.
Until a certain moment, the sky suddenly shattered.
Everything was exposed.
Strands of thread connected to the hearts of every person.
All the high-rise buildings transformed into twisted monsters, collapsing on the ground.
The threads passed through these monsters and then connected to the deep space.
In the deep space, there was a plaster statue.
It was the image of Li Qianyao.
[Ding—Detected a core malfunction in the instance. This instance will close in 30 seconds, and all players will be teleported out of the game.]
The game’s notification sound startled the players.
Realizing belatedly, could they really leave this instance like this?
But… was this really okay?
[Twenty-seven]
The people of the Beautiful World finally came to their senses from this scene.
When they looked at the people around them, they screamed again and again.
Because what they saw were no longer beautiful people, but people who had completely turned into monsters.
In addition to that, they also saw human heads floating around.
Fear spread even more deeply.
The world descended into complete chaos.
[Twenty-five]
Crack—
The statue cracked open.
Revealing red skin.
A hideous monster was awakening.
Bai Cha narrowed her eyes.
This thing looked very familiar, quite similar to the receptionist.
What were this receptionist and that Buddha statue?
[Twenty-four]
Bai Cha raised her hand and recalled the dodder seeds planted in the doctor’s body, unfortunately only planted for one night.
But it didn’t matter.
She used these dodder seeds to grab the human heads one by one, collecting any that had fragments.
The sound of cracking overhead grew louder and louder.
The monster struggled, completely breaking free from its restraints.
[Twenty]
The monster descended from the sky, eliciting a chorus of screams and locking onto the players.
The players’ faces turned green.
“Damn it!”
“This thing’s strength… it’s not from a D-rank instance at all!”
“Eighteen seconds left, hang in there, brothers!”
The players scattered in all directions.
Bai Cha also wanted to hide.
But she heard a notification.
[Detected that you have previously received praise from the receptionist. The praise title ‘Certain Killer’ has been automatically equipped for you.]
Bai Cha: “…”
