There is One New Rule Every Month Globally

However, Chen Yi didn't pay attention to the surrounding murmurs, doing his best to calm his emotions as he looked up at the gathered dark clouds overhead and silently activated the unique prop of the Center of the Universe.

The next second—

"Dang, dang, dang..."

An accompaniment of music suddenly rang in the ears of all players in Yancheng.

Almost instantly, players in the middle of the square fell silent, their expressions vacant as they looked up at Chen Yi standing in the center of the square. Was this music produced by Chen Yi? It felt as though it was playing right next to their ears.

Was there a sound system with such good quality?

Little Fairy's Mom also had a flash of surprise in her eyes, folding her arms with interest as she stood behind Little Sprite, fixating on Chen Yi dressed in a black tuxedo.

Jiaye, seated on Tie Chui's shoulders, was looking at Yi's silhouette with stars in her eyes, her adoration almost spilling out of them.

Tie Chui just bowed his head and pulled a metal cigarette case from his chest, counting softly to himself.

"One, two, four sticks."

"No, no, it should be three after two."

"One, two, three sticks,..."

Even Tuberculosis Rabbit had not expected Yi to possess this prop. For a moment, he straightened up his back a bit, looking as if Yi had come prepared, not just to make a fool of himself.

The accompaniment grew louder bit by bit.

Chen Yi, holding a cane in one hand and wearing a black tuxedo, stood in the center of the square, arms opened wide as he tilted his head back to look at the city's dark clouds overhead, his lips slightly parting.

The gentle song slowly started to play in the ears of all players in Yancheng.

"The cool morning dew wets the black formal attire."

"There's fog on the cobblestone road as father whispers low."

"..."

...

"In the name of father, I pass judgment."

"That feeling, there are no suitable words."

"It's like laughing while tears fall."

"Firmly embodying complete darkness."

"..."

...

The song continued to play in the ears of every player in Yancheng.

Tuberculosis Rabbit, who had initially been standing straight, suddenly felt emotions stirring within, a newfound sorrow surging to the forefront of his heart. His eyes reddened as he looked at Chen Yi's silhouette, his fists clenched tight, overwhelmed with sudden sadness.

It was as if... Yi was about to die.

Jiaye, who had been sitting on Tie Chui's shoulders full of admiration, also stiffened suddenly, feeling her eyes moisten as if tears were tracing down her cheeks, her heart filled with sorrow. It felt like... Yi was about to die.

And Tie Chui, who had been counting his cigarettes, stopped his actions, feeling an uncomfortable surge looking at Chen Yi's silhouette. Was Yi... about to die?

Why did he suddenly feel so sad?

Most players in the middle of the square fell into a sea of sorrow, their eyes red as they looked up at the dark clouds overhead, tilting their heads at a 45-degree angle, trying not to let the tears in their eyes fall.

Each person recalled the saddest memory in their heart.

Little Fairy's Mom, who had previously been folding her arms with interest, now buried her face in tears into Little Fairy's Dad's chest, sobbing uncontrollably, no longer bearing the semblance of a mature woman, looking more like a little girl.

Little Sprite, who had been sitting cross-legged on the ground, also rushed into her dad's arms, crying out loud.

And the middle-aged man, his eyes also red, looked up at the sky as he embraced his wife and daughter, trying not to let his tears fall.

In a house in Yancheng, Han Yu's silent family, upon hearing the song, couldn't help but hold each other and burst into uncontrollable sobbing.

...

"I..."

Li Yide, who was originally repairing the sound system, suddenly froze in place the moment he heard the music start playing, then after a moment, he sat on the ground somewhat disoriented, lighting a cigarette with sadness filling his heart, holding it between his fingers as he stared into the distance with a vacant expression.

"What exactly have I lived my life for?"

"Am I still me?"

"Why have I suddenly become so sad?"

Even the fox tail that was always perked up behind him seemed to sense its owner's mood, hanging limp and lifelessly.

...

Half the progress of the song was sung through quickly.

Chen Yi, dressed in a black tuxedo and holding a jet black cane, stood in the puddles on the plaza, calmly and vaguely continuing to sing as he looked at the three judges in front of him who were now holding their heads in agony.

"We are all guilty."

"Sinning in different ways."

"..."

And he sang while stepping the dance steps at the same time.

The dance steps were simple.

One step forward, one step left, one step right, one step back.

Four-beat steps for a beginner dancer.

Tuberculosis Rabbit, standing behind Chen Yi, couldn't hide his sadness, with tears streaming down his face, began to follow Yi's rhythm and dance beside him, even though the two had not rehearsed in advance, their movements appeared to be almost the same.

One reason was that the dance steps were indeed simple, the other was that their tacit understanding was indeed not low.

Jiaye, who was sitting on Tie Chui's shoulders, also jumped down and ran to Chen Yi's side, her eyes slightly red, she followed Yi's rhythm and stepped the four-beat dance steps rhythmically with her mouth firmly shut to the sound of music.

After standing in place for a moment, Tie Chui also walked over to Chen Yi's side, following everyone's rhythm and stepping the four-beat dance steps.

The scene was extremely consistent and harmonious.

Under the boundless black clouds, Chen Yi and his three companions stood in the middle of the plaza full of puddles, witnessed by numerous players, and under the erosion of the music, stepped their four-beat dance steps that belonged to them.

Then,

More and more people were moved by Chen Yi's emotions, and other players in the square couldn't help but stand behind Chen Yi with tears in their eyes, following Chen Yi's rhythm and stepping the four-beat dance steps, humming the song Chen Yi was singing, titled "In the Name of the Father."

The scene on the plaza looked decidedly like that of a concert.

The Sadness Points Chen Yi was accumulating were increasing at a terrifying speed, climbing to number one on the global leaderboard in almost less than a few seconds, and the gap with the second place was growing larger and larger!

Elegance and vulgarity have never been two words with an especially clear dividing line!

You could use vulgarity to describe the scene before you, and you could equally call this scene elegant!

The height of elegance is vulgarity, the peak of vulgarity is elegance.

But... at least at this moment, in the hearts of these players, it was elegant.

Utterly elegant.

The song ended.

Everyone came out of their emotional trance slowly, standing in place without speaking for a long time, not quite snapping out of it.

"Bravo!"

Not knowing how much time had passed, Little Sprite's mom, with her figure accentuated by her cheongsam, was the first to continuously applaud with teary eyes.

Then, the other players in the center of the plaza also came to their senses, all of them tearfully looking at Chen Yi and continuously applauding.

The scene suddenly became lively.

Chen Yi slowly lowered the jet black cane he had been holding up, looked around at everything, and spoke softly with a calm face as he held the cane in his hands.

"Absurd."

That was the period he put at the end of this farce.
