Chapter 1630: Chapter 521: Collective Frenzy_3

Wen Xishu did not mean to do this.

He was considering Liu Jianxin, because to counter the audience’s "process of elimination," they needed bait that could hook the audience, which required cooperation from "non-allies."

However, his power was too immense, and the sense of security both parties felt made them believe "Wen is helping me," so they ultimately accepted not to form an ally contract.

Wen Xishu said:

"I won’t ask about your abilities."

"Now, everyone... strike a pose that looks like you’re activating your superpowers."

"Whether you make posers or perform hand seals, it’s fine, but there must be action."

The group understood because the superpower to be activated next had no visual effect, so the audience couldn’t see what the superpower was.

But once activated, the audience would know someone had activated a power.

At that moment, if everyone looks like they are activating a power, the audience faces two difficulties...

Firstly, guessing what superpower it is, and secondly, guessing who activated the superpower.

The probability of getting both right is extremely low.

"As for those with superpowers that have visual effects, don’t worry, I will help you resolve this problem at the most suitable moment."

"Now, let’s start the performance, make it exaggerated, use force, don’t hold back, or I’ll be upset."

Then came a highly visual scene, as fourteen people started making various strange moves.

They all appeared to be activating powers, and there were indeed cues of superpowers being activated.

This made quite a few audience members angry.

Seldom do audiences see such a large-scale "group."

Because the Dark Forest itself tends to divide people into different factions and territories, and everyone is also mutually antagonistic.

Such as not long ago, when seven people fell into a trap, but the others didn’t eliminate each other, such a situation hardly ever occurs.

But now, Wen Xishu has the Compass and can find others, and with his formidable force, he enforced unity among everyone.

Thus, this large "show stage" was created.

Fourteen people gestured and murmured. It looked like each was activating a power.

As if a dozen people were erratically possessed, because Wen Xishu’s requirement was to be as ostentatious as possible.

Things detrimental to unity, no one dared to do. So everyone worked hard to act frantically.

The audience first didn’t know who was acting, and secondly didn’t know what the superpower effects were.

The probability of guessing both correctly is extremely low.

The audience, for the first time, sensed a kind of... psychological resistance from the collective players.

Before, they felt they were watching a group struggle for survival, but now, they feel they are watching a group... ridicule them.

Wen Xishu not long ago whispered something to Liu Jianxin, now it was the time for execution.

Liu Jianxin started pretending to meditate, and from time to time would glance back with a mischievous look.

His performance was heavily marked, flamboyant, and deliberate.

Nonetheless, it indeed attracted quite a bit of attention. Many in the audience noticed that stones around Liu Jianxin were moving.

For Liu Jianxin, this was too simple. Sword Control was no problem, let alone using internal force to vibrate the surrounding stones.

Telekinesis, many started speculating about Liu Jianxin’s ability.

So much so that no one noticed Wen Xishu secretly issued a hypnosis command to Gu Yu.

Wen Xishu had to thank Virgo; this damned charm made three women almost constantly keep their eyes on him.

But in the audience’s perspective, gaze exchanges were invisible.

Especially when Liu Jianxin posed meditative energy gathering movements and made surrounding objects levitate, nearly one person attracted all audience attention.

The audience is now blindly guessing because each person’s movements are ambiguous, and the superpowers have no visual effects.

Yet, if someone at this time made a deliberate move, it would instantly attract everyone’s notice.

Sure enough, this moment Liu Jianxin was speculated by over thirty thousand people — to have telekinetic abilities.

But they obviously guessed wrong.

Wen Xishu was actually collecting data at this moment.

He wanted to understand the audience’s behavioral tendencies.

"Later, all of you, compile your being-guessed data and send it to me."

He wanted to find out how likely the audience is to take the bait.

Meanwhile, once they know Liu Jianxin’s ability isn’t telekinesis, whether they’d persist in continuing to guess Liu Jianxin has other similar style abilities.

Or turn away and immediately abandon Liu Jianxin?

This is a very important data.
