Infinite spooky game

Half a day?

But I'm about to be controlled into the pond, and I can't even hold on for half a minute...

Lin Chen felt pain in his heart, and silently thought in his mind: "Brother Qi, I have been parasitized by puppet silk..."

He concisely recounted what happened after the connection between consciousness was broken, like a drowning man grabbing the broken rope hanging from the shore.

Zeiss stood crookedly at the foot of the stairs, listening quietly and patiently.

After listening to Lin Chen's description before, he suspected that the female teacher's identity and background were not simple.

So, before the third phone call, he deliberately buried a hole in the prepared rhetoric.

He taught Lin Chen to say "a red frog suddenly jumped out from the bottom of the pond" instead of asking him to peel the frog's skin outright. A thoughtful person could easily detect that this lie was superfluous, unless he wanted to hide something else. .

For an egoist, a slight suspicion is enough to kill him.

Qisi was willing to lead Lin Chen and the female teacher into a life-and-death situation, so that whether the female teacher killed Lin Chen or Lin Chen killed the female teacher, it would be a big trouble for him.

If it is the former, although it is a pity that a useful tool man dies, at least there is one less person in the world who knows his real name, which eliminates some risks of exposing his true identity.

If it is the latter, and Lin Chen, who has never killed anyone, has his hands stained with blood, Qiss is confident that he will break his inner defenses and plunge him into a state of self-loathing. No matter how bad it is, it can be regarded as holding a handle that can drag people into the mud.

Of course, it now appears that things have gone beyond expectations.

The female teacher is Xiela's puppet. If Lin Chen cannot get rid of the puppet thread before leaving the dungeon, he will become a member of the puppet.

Qisi knew that Lin Chen was now in a desperate situation and could only turn to him for help. It would be easier for him to control everything about Lin Chen.

But the premise is that he must find a way to wrest control of Lin Chen from the puppet master.

There are very few records about the puppet master in the forum, and most of them are invalid information such as "There is a puppet in the xx copy" and "The puppet master is suspected of having obtained xx props". There is no information that clearly points out how to get rid of it. His control...

Ziss actually saw someone write a far-fetched little paper on the issue of him getting rid of the puppet master's control. It was probably speculated that his skills and the puppet master's origins were from the same origin, and they both belonged to the behind-the-scenes control category, with higher priority and level. So there is room for maneuver.

But Qiss knew that this was not the case, it was just because the puppet silk was wrapped around the finger bones of the evil god.

However, if the priority of skills really matters, which level is higher, soul contract or puppet silk?

The soul contract is the embodiment of the authority of the evil god contract, and the puppet silk is a complete skill with a 100% success rate after countless evolutions...

It’s really hard to say.

"You can still control your thoughts and consciousness now, right?" Qiss asked.

Lin Chen said with some uncertainty: "Probably...she doesn't seem to know that we can communicate, and she hasn't stopped me until now. But I always suspect that she may have the ability to read minds..."

If you fail to stop it, you may just want to fish for law enforcement, but it is useless to consider this situation, so it is better not to consider it.

Qisi said calmly: "Lin Chen, don't panic first, calm down and listen to me."

"According to my understanding and experience, only by letting the newly parasitized puppets leave the copy and complete deep parasitism can the puppet master fully control the puppets' thoughts and read their memories."

"Now she shows that she can read your thoughts. It's just a psychological ability. She deliberately shows it to you to deter you. And this just shows that her control over you is not strong, otherwise there is no need to bother. "

Lin Chen gradually calmed down after listening to Qisi's analysis. The waves surging in the ocean of thought slowly settled, allowing him to make rational weighing and thinking.

If memories and thoughts can be read and controlled in one encounter, that is already a god's ability. If the puppet master is so terrifying, why would he let Xi La be suppressed by Jiuzhou and Tingfeng?
Ziss continued: "I don't know how to get rid of the puppet thread. But I can tell you that in the copy of "Hopeless Sea", I was once parasitized by the puppet thread, and then I got rid of the control by chance. ”

Lin Chen remembered a piece of gossip he had heard before, his heart skipped a beat, and he asked, "Qi...Brother Qi, is that you the 'Si Qi' mentioned on the forum?"

Ziss did not deny it: "I found that the operating conditions of the puppet silk are more stringent than many people on the forum thought, and the puppet master himself is not as invincible as imagined."

"As for how to get rid of the control of the puppet master, I have a plan that may be effective, but I am not sure it will succeed. Once it fails, what awaits you may be real death."

"I remember you told me that your parents only have one child, and you hope to survive. So this time, are you willing to risk your life?"

Lin Chen nodded crazily in his conscious space: "No problem! If I want to be used as a puppet to harm people in the future, my parents will be very disappointed if they find out. I might as well die here..."

He originally thought that Qiss would tell him the solution immediately, but he sighed quietly: "The plan I am going to talk about next, even if it succeeds, will not allow you to be free in the true sense. It will just control the situation." Your person changed from puppet master to me."

"Your soul will be under my control, your experience will be known to me, and your behavior will be watched by me. Although I will not have the corresponding will, as long as I think, a thought can determine your life or death. "

"Do you accept this future?"

Lin Chen was silent.

No one is willing to give everything to another person to control, even if they have been saved.

Even though Zeiss promised that he would not use the control authority, it was still like a Sword of Damocles hanging above his head.

The feeling of not being able to control life and death is not pleasant, but what if it is compared to being controlled by a puppet master?

The lesser of two evils, if Lin Chen really wanted to be controlled by one person, Lin Chen would rather choose Qisi.

After all, although Zis loves telling hell jokes, scaring people, and planning to kill people, his conscience is still intact. He can save people with a little effort, and killing people is only forced by circumstances and unavoidable.

After all, they are kinder than those mass murdering lunatics from the Silas Guild.

Thinking only occupied less than half a second in the conscious space. Lin Chen said: "I accept it."

Qisi said calmly: "I'm not a good person. Maybe I can be called a 'scum'. I've killed many people and killed them myself. Are you sure you want to hand over your soul to me?"

Frank words make people subconsciously believe in the sincerity of the speaker.

Lin Chen had already made his decision and said without hesitation: "I'm sure."

Qiss smiled, with one corner of his lips slightly raised, showing a hint of pity: "I remember you have a prop called [A Small Note from Top Students], can you use it now?"

[Name: A note from top students]

[Effect: Ask it a sincere question, and the correct answer to the question may be written on it~ (Each copy can only be used once, success rate is 50%)]

Lin Chen glanced at the props bar: "Yes, my props have not been blocked by the puppet master, but it seems that the effect can only be activated in the props bar. Once it is activated, it will no longer be under my control."

"That's enough." Qisi said, "Now you ask it, what are the three lines of God's name prayed to Qisi and your name."

Lin Chen's eyes widened: "God's name? Brother Qi, what's your situation now? And...can you really ask two questions at once?" "First of all, there is only one question mark, it is the same question." Qisi Skipping the previous topic, he patiently explained, "Also, it doesn't say you can't ask for two answers, right?"

……All right.

Although he didn't understand what Qisi was going to do, Lin Chen still doubtfully muttered in his heart: "Activate the effect of [The Top Student's Note] and ask: What are the three lines of the name of God and my name that Qisi prayed to?"

The paper in the toolbar trembled violently, like a slug struggling violently under the grip of some invisible thing.

But no matter how hard it struggled, the black writing was still written on the white paper like a curse.

[The Scarlet Lord who has traveled through infinite time and space. 】

[The new soul master who holds the power of the contract. 】

[The only existence that shuttles between reality and illusion. 】

【Lin Chen】

The two answers combined looked like a contract hastily signed with the names of both parties.

Reciting the gods completely has the meaning of trading souls and believing in evil gods, and the black and white words further strengthen the bonds and ties.

Lin Chen saw a bunch of bloody vines hanging from the sky, pulling at the corners of his soul, causing ripple-like resonance.

Angry text pops up quickly on the system interface like a fault display.

[The ineffable great being glanced at you, and your prop "the top student's note" changed]

[Name: A note from top students]

[Effect: You can ask it a question in each copy, and there is a 50% probability of getting a correct answer! (Note: You can only get one answer)]

Ziss smiled and said: "It seems that you are lucky. The first step has been successful with a 50% probability."

Scarlet light flowed in his eyes, and two golden ten-sided dice were thrown in front of him from the void: "Next, I have to bet on a 26% success rate. Do you still have the skill [Pilgrim's Blessing]? "

"Yes." Lin Chen said, "I haven't used it yet."

[Name: Pilgrim’s Prayer]

[Type: Skill]

[Passive effect: If you have devout faith, you are luckier than ordinary people. You have a half chance of getting it right when you choose one of the four options. When you encounter a fatal crisis, you have a chance of saving the day]

[Active effect: Pray for any existence in the dungeon, and slightly improve its luck in the dungeon (can only be used once per dungeon)]

Qisi said: "Lin Chen, pray for me."

Any slight increase in probability may be the last weight that shakes the balance. At the moment when the victory is decided, there is only the difference between 100% and 0%.

The tiger and the rabbit also try their best. This is what the puppet master said in the Hopeless Sea, and Qisi deeply believes it.

Even if the originally extremely sluggish luck may not help after a small improvement, so what?

Anyway, this is the only way at present, and we have done everything we can.

The milky white shimmer seeps through the black space, surrounding Qisi like fireflies in summer. It is as white as clouds and as light as wind, lingering around the body one by one and sinking into the body surface.

The white light and red light intertwined and merged into a faint crimson. Two golden afterimages rotated rapidly in front of the eyes, and fell to the ground at a certain moment, making a hallucinatory "ding" sound.

In an instant, the light died out, and only the numbers on the golden die could be seen in the darkness.

Two 9s, 99, greater than 74, success!
"As far as I know, you have entered the Kyushu Guild's sight. Within a month, they will extend an olive branch to you."

Green Frog Hospital, by the pond, the female teacher's light gray eyes were looking at Lin Chen emotionlessly through gold-rimmed glasses: "Because of Fu Jue's incident, there will be a lot of chaos within them, and there will be a lot of staff changes. . During this period, it will be easier for newcomers to obtain resource tilt and promotion qualifications.”

So, you don’t want me to join the Kyushu Guild as an undercover agent, right?
Lin Chen was speculating in confusion in his mind, his lips pursed in silence, like a dead corpse.

The female teacher suddenly smiled, with a hint of seriousness in her eyes: "Lin Chen, I am very interested in you. You obviously have survival as your primary goal, but you always give up the option with the highest probability of survival for various inexplicable reasons."

"Actually, you don't have to be so resistant to becoming my puppet. I don't have the energy to control every puppet's thoughts and behavioral choices. As a biological human being, processing too much information at the same time will drive me crazy."

"As long as you are willing to obey my orders at certain critical moments and not do anything that harms Xi La's interests, I can promise to give you the maximum freedom. You can still save people, and even execute some useless trash, and you will be satisfied. Your sense of heroism and justice.”

The female teacher bent down slightly and approached Lin Chen. The cold smile on her face was more sweet and seductive: "I will not interfere with your behavior. When my eyes are not on you, you can be yourself. . I have many puppets that you can use or not. After today’s separation, I may not control you even once.”

Why do you need my consent? Don’t you already control me?
While Lin Chen asked Qisi for help through his consciousness, he was puzzled. A sentence that Qisi said popped up in his mind without warning: 'The puppet master himself is not as invincible as he thought. '

All the clues were arranged in front of my eyes, and it suddenly became clear.

Yes, the puppet master had fought against Zeiss and knew that Zeiss had a way to escape from his control.

Ziss did not change his voice during the phone call. The puppet master knew that Ziss was also in this copy, and suspected that he and Ziss had other ways of contacting him.

Therefore, on the one hand, the puppet master is worried that he will break free from control, and on the other hand, he hopes to incite him to rebel through words...

In the face of absolute power, no one will talk nonsense; since he chooses to use words, it means that the power is not enough to get everything he wants.

Lin Chen felt calmer than ever.

In the space of consciousness, the golden dice jingled.

On the system interface, a line of silver-white text refreshed.

[The soul contract has been signed. This contract is guaranteed by the rules of the world and cannot be violated by any existence]

The skills of the same origin have won the game of probability ratio, replacing the original skills with higher authority.

The silk threads wrapped around his body collapsed in an instant. Lin Chen took out the [Umbrella Full of Pain] from the toolbar and waved it past, standing between him and the female teacher.

The shadow growing under the open black umbrella turned into a huge thing in a second, wrapping Lin Chen airtightly like a curtain.

[Effect 30: Summon the black shadow ghost "The Man in the Umbrella" for 24 seconds. Each summon must kill one being (cooling time hours)]

Countless tentacles grew out of the darkness, overwhelmingly rushing toward the female teacher... (End of Chapter)
