Just as the hint on the very first note at the beginning of the Rule Horror suggests, please pay attention to your SAN value.
However, Players cannot check their own SAN values; only the audiences in the Weird Livestream Room can see the specific SAN value bar.
Only by using a special item can a Player see their own SAN value bar and the specific numerical value.
And under normal circumstances, a Player who learns their own SAN value will consume their SAN value even faster.
Under the research of the Weird Research Group, they have reached a definitive conclusion.
The SAN value of a normal person is one hundred.
When the SAN value drops to sixty, a human's mental state enters a fragile period, causing hallucinations, making them easily frightened, and even carrying a certain probability of being scared to death.
When the SAN value drops to forty, a human's mental state enters a collapse period; they will enter a state of mental disorder and will likely go insane.
When the SAN value drops to twenty, a human's mental state has already entered a state of collapse; they will see things that they should not see, and almost everyone will fall into a state of madness, despair, and wailing, with eighty percent of humans choosing suicide.
When the SAN value drops to zero, a human loses their sanity and will definitely die or turn into a monster.
This is a conclusion drawn from combining data from tens of thousands of Players worldwide.
Audiences who have watched the Weird Live Broadcast have all seen the state of Players whose SAN values dropped to forty, twenty, or even zero.
Of course, most Players will not have the opportunity to let their SAN value reach zero, because they are usually killed by an eerie creature when it is around forty or twenty.
The Weird Research Group also discovered that as long as a Player can overcome fear and other negative emotions, they can stabilize their SAN value.
But in reality, even if everyone knows this, Players who enter the Rule Horror game are unable to overcome it.
Just like when people enter a haunted house or play a horror game, fear is a human instinct.
Can you overcome it just by saying you will?
How can one overcome instinctive emotions?
And it is precisely because of the SAN value bar that the Players who enter the Rule Horror look like actual "Players."
Therefore, when the Weird Live Broadcast first started airing, everyone watched it with the mentality of watching a horror movie or playing a horror game.
Everyone thought it was a prank.
But when Players died and the corresponding Rule Horror descended upon the Player's country, and more and more people died because of the horror, people finally realized it in hindsight.
This is not a prank, and even if it is a prank, it is a prank that kills people.
The horror will descend upon the world, and it is completely random, but under normal circumstances, it usually takes a country as its boundary.
As of now, the Weird Live Broadcast has been airing for seventeen months, and in the world, those sparsely populated small countries have mostly met their end.
As of now, there are only a little over one hundred countries left.
To be precise, one hundred and three.
Those countries with small areas and small populations were long ago crowded with horrors, and death is everywhere.
And the reason why people are now keen on watching the Weird Live Broadcast is also here: when the horror descends, it will be exactly the same as the state in the Weird Live Broadcast.
If one can figure out the way to survive, even an ordinary person can survive in the horror.
Simply put, one must obtain a strategy to pass the level; even if the Player dies, ordinary people must use their lives to explore a strategy to pass the level.
China had long ago summarized strategies for previous horrors, but unfortunately, some survivors of the horrors have never appeared.
Therefore, the horrors in reality are divided into those where one can survive and those that are certain death.
And China has never sat idly by; in addition to the research group specifically studying Rule Horror, China has also dispatched the military, becoming a specialized Special Incident Handling Team, and has even implemented closed management for some Rule Horror buildings or areas that do not move as long as no one enters them.
Furthermore, China has actively established relevant forums and information databases to provide citizens with the latest and most accurate information, striving to ensure the survival rate of the Chinese people.
Over these seventeen months, the number of people in China who have clearly died from Rule Horror does not exceed twenty thousand.
Compared to the much higher death tolls in other countries, which even exceed six or seven digits, China's prevention and remedial measures are very well-executed.
For China, Rule Horror is terrifying, but it is not enough to make people feel despair.
Of course, the riots in other countries caused by Rule Horror have nothing to do with China.
Especially in some countries, the number of people who died because of riots is far greater than the number of people killed by Rule Horror!
Zhao Qi also noticed the short little green line on top of Meng Fei's head; it looked like a health bar, but it was very, very thin.
"......It seems it really is sixty; you guys send someone to compare it."
"Confirmed, the accurate value is indeed sixty......"
So, Meng Fei is playing the Rule Horror game in a state of being on the verge of going insane?
Although everyone was speechless, they also felt it was reasonable.
Meng Fei was watching television with great interest.
The door to the bathroom suddenly opened a crack; it was pitch black inside, and then an eye with a tiny pupil appeared.
The eye was twisted, staring fixedly at Meng Fei's back, staring at Meng Fei's head.
The sound of the door opening was not small.
If it were an ordinary person, they would probably be too scared to move, or they would turn their head to look as a reflex.
But Meng Fei did not; he opened his eyes wide, staring at the television with an expressionless face, and said:
"Do not make eye contact with it."
Although Meng Fei could remain calm, it did not mean everyone could.
Several other Players also encountered the exact same scene, but some of them did not react in time and turned their heads to look almost subconsciously.
Then, they were torn to pieces by it.
This is the world of Rule Horror; anyone who does not follow the rules must pay the price!
Meng Fei crushed a walnut shell and calmly peeled a walnut. He said, "If you don't close the door, I will kill you."
A provocation, a naked provocation!
It clearly heard these words, as if it had heard something interesting; it pulled the door open, revealing its entire face.
The smile at the corners of its mouth had already stretched to the limit of a human, yet its pair of eyes were devoid of emotion, opened wide.
It was as if the muscles on its face had no connection to each other and did not affect one another.
It stared at Meng Fei in such a horrifying manner, the smile at the corners of its mouth remaining unchanged like a mask, its eyes staring fixedly at Meng Fei.
Meng Fei calmly peeled the walnut, but the speed became faster and faster, and the force became greater and greater.
The crunching sound was constant, becoming more and more intense, like an eerie accompaniment.
