Infinite spooky game

Cheng Ping took the Poseidon Scepter and left, but Qisi was still nailed to the wall with the scalpel.

After the number of uses exceeds the limit, the [Soul Contract] skill enters a blocked state and cannot be used.

In other words, the deal between Ziss and Dean was entirely based on a verbal agreement and could be torn up by one of the parties at any time.

It is conceivable that in the absence of strong binding force and considerable enough benefits, breach of contract is an inevitable result.

After Qisi gave Lin Chen an order to bring the statue of the Holy Child to Blue Frog Hospital, he continued to lean on it helplessly.

Cheng Xiaoyu squatted beside him with eager eyes, consciously assuming the responsibility of guarding.

As time passed by, Cheng Xiaoyu felt restless, as if something bad was about to happen, but he didn't know how it would happen.

The sound of "tap-tat" footsteps came from the thick fog outside the gate, clear and ethereal, like the impact of high heels on the tiles.

A hazy figure silhouetted itself in the fog, getting closer and closer.

Cheng Xiaoyu suddenly let out a scream, which dispersed into a few wisps of light black smoke and penetrated into the cracks in the wall. Qisi's sight was unobstructed and connected with the figure behind the iron door.

It was a woman wearing a black suit and gold-rimmed glasses, with a pair of particularly eye-catching light gray eyes.

She stepped over the threshold, stood in front of Qisi, and nodded gently: "Long time no see, Qisi."

……

Green Frog Hospital, Lin Chen stood by the pond and did not see the body of the female teacher.

He had some ominous premonitions, and just as he was about to tell Zeiss, he received an order for him to go to Blue Frog Hospital.

Compared with the two, the mission is more important. As long as the main mission is completed, even if the level is cleared, you will not be harmed by the copy for the next three minutes.

Lin Chen hugged the baby stone statue, stepped into the pond, waded through the cold water, and walked step by step towards the whirlpool in the center.

The moment he stepped into the whirlpool, he felt dizzy and dizzy, and the whole world was crumpled into a ball before his eyes, stretched and flipped again.

His vision quickly settled down again, and the surrounding environment was very different from what he saw before the dizziness.

The only difference is that on the empty white stone platform in front of you, there is an equally white statue of the Virgin sitting.

The statue with a beautiful face looked at Lin Chen calmly and solemnly, as if seeing all things in the world through him, giving love and care to all creations equally.

Lin Chen felt like he was soaked in the warm touch, and the great attraction pulled him forward step by step.

He stood in front of the statue of the Virgin, holding the statue of the Son devoutly with his raised hands, and placed it gently in the empty arms of the Virgin.

The blood droplets in the corner of the Virgin's eyes turned into a drop of tear, which fell on the water of the pool with a soft "tap" sound. In an instant, the dense bloodshot eyes bloomed like an explosion.

[The main mission has been completed]

[Congratulations to the player for passing the level...]

The subsequent bytes were blatantly truncated. After two seconds of lag, a large area of ​​bloody garbled code was refreshed crazily, occupying the space of the system interface.

Two clouds of black smoke met overhead, the illusion of peace and tranquility was torn apart, the sky was painted into a uniform blackness, and there were noisy, harsh, frightening, and desperate murmurs.

The bloody rain poured down, splashing blood mist on the ground.

Lin Chen reflexively summoned the [Umbrella Full of Pain], opened it in a second, and blocked it above his head.

The black umbrella, which was cooling down, was used as a simple rain gear to protect it from the wind and rain. After the umbrella surface came into contact with the blood rain, the umbrella handle and the umbrella trembled uncontrollably.

His arms were driven to resonate, and Lin Chen woke up from a dream, took a small step back, and stepped into the vortex.

When he opened his eyes again, he returned to the Green Frog Hospital, and there was only an empty stone platform in front of him.

The situation is still not optimistic, and the sky at Green Frog Hospital is also pitch black.

In the steaming forest mist, black shadows were approaching step by step. It was impossible to tell whether they were ghosts or NPCs.

……

[The main mission has been completed]

At the Blue Frog Hospital, Qisi raised his head and looked at the woman with a half-smile: "You're not dead yet? I thought the effect of Lin Chen's prop was a causal weapon."

"I'm dead, or I've never lived." The woman showed great patience, "But in the weird game, treating life and death as a single state is narrow-minded. Just like you now, you can't judge either. It’s life or death.”

"Quantum superposition?" Zeiss asked.

The woman shook her head and nodded: "Individual mobility and status are often separated. I think you who have experienced a copy of "Rose Manor" can understand this."

"I can enter the weird game, and I can't get away from it, right?"

"I know more about you than you think. But you can rest assured that the gods under the watchful eyes of the rules will ensure the fairness of the gamble to the greatest extent."

Chiss smiled: "I don't think this kind of bet is fair at all."

"They need fairness in the overall situation." The woman took out the scalpel nailed to Qisi's right shoulder and stabbed it into his right palm with her backhand.

"I can hurt you, but if I kill you, you won't really die. Because I am a dead person at this time, and the ability to still act as a dead person comes from a cheat by a certain god.

"They will not leave the game as long as it does not affect the fate of the 'chess pieces'. And once I use the ability gained from cheating to sweep the 'chess pieces' off the chessboard, they will pick up the 'chess pieces' again and place them back." original position."

This is undoubtedly some kind of game rule that is superior to weird games and has always existed, but it was not until this moment that Qiss clarified the details and connected the various questions in the past.

No wonder, in the copy of "Hopeless Sea", the "Puppet Master" did not kill him further after discovering that he was out of control, because he knew that it would be of no use except exposing the cards in his hand.

The three puppets of Lu Li, Hans, and Ye Linsheng have been scrapped, and other methods are most likely not allowed by the game. Even if Qisi can be killed temporarily, it will not prevent the god Qisi from re-entering the chess game.

No wonder Chang Xu was stabbed so many times by Poseidon's scepter, but he still didn't die, because his death was the butterfly effect caused by cheating.

If Qi had not handed over the [Evil God's Finger Bone] to Qi Si in advance, Qi Si would not have been able to escape the control of the puppet master and would not have had the opportunity to kill Chang Xu; as for the puppet master himself, there is a high probability that Chang Xu would be left to work for him. use……

Qisi tilted his head and thought for a while, then asked: "Why are you telling me this?"

The woman said: "The puppet master hopes to cooperate with you."

"Based on the current comparison of strength, is it cooperation or unilateral use?"

"Xila's definition of cooperation is mutual use."

……

Cheng Ping walked to the pond and raised the Poseidon's scepter held high in his right hand.

The black smoke in the sky seemed to have finally found its home, rushing towards Cheng Ping, and was absorbed by the white scepter in his hand at a very close distance.

The tentacle-like black strokes of the evil god are outlined one by one starting from the top of the scepter. The sins all over the sky are solidified into patterned ink, giving the dilapidated scepter its former majesty.

The black clouds above the head became thinner at a speed visible to the naked eye, and were washed away in a few seconds until they were as blue as blue, without a trace of smoke remaining.

All sins were swallowed up by Poseidon's scepter, and finally ten strokes were written on the top, drawing the prototype of a surging wave.

[Sin... Poseidon's scepter has absorbed sin... plenty of sin...]

Cheng Ping heard the murmurs of contentment, like moans of pleasure after eating and drinking.

He also felt joy from the bottom of his heart.

This thing is indeed useful. The crime that originally seemed to him to be extremely difficult was solved so easily. He can be more bold in doing things in the future, and no longer has to be so constrained as when preparing for this ceremony. Yes, Cheng Ping had no intention of returning the Poseidon Scepter to Qis.

Without coercive restraint, the owner has been controlled and has no ability to resist. In this case, whoever returns the property to its original owner is a fool!

Cheng Ping held the Poseidon's scepter tightly, feeling the pulsing of life under his palm, and a huge smile spread from ear to ear in ecstasy on his face.

In a daze, he seemed to see the shadow of a huge golden eye, staring at him through the yellow clouds and the gilded ocean, calmly blending with his soul.

Is this God? Is he... going to become a god?
The phantom of the tentacle stretched out from the Poseidon's scepter without warning, wrapped around Cheng Ping's arms and neck, penetrated into the blood vessels without any resistance, and crawled among the various meridians and cavities.

The intense pain shatters dreams and arouses biological instincts of fear and despair.

It’s seizing one’s body!
Cheng Ping finally sensed the danger, but it was too late.

Most of the body was occupied by the irrational evil god, and the human soul turned into powder at the moment of collision.

[Rules...pollution...sacrifice...]

[Sin...Eating...Nightmare...]

The god who had regained his body instinctively emitted a whisper that could drive ordinary creatures crazy. His legs in human form melted, and countless tentacles extended in all directions like blooming flowers, timidly touching and exploring unfamiliar environments.

One tentacle touched the complete statue of the Virgin holding the Infant in the center of the pond. It withdrew a little like an electric shock, then tentatively wrapped around it, greeting and feeling uncertainly.

He got a response, and the memory from the source will not misjudge.

He was like a child who had finally seen his mother, with every arm, foot and suction cup conveying the joy of reunion after a long separation.

[The Lord of Life and Incarnation of the Origin of World Tree]

[The Lord of Death who is in charge of creation and annihilation]

[The holy existence that breeds wind and rain in the sea, land, air, and sky]

……

"Did you see or hear anything?" The woman's light gray eyes looked at Qiss calmly.

"I saw a series of unfamiliar three-line names of gods." Qis said, "Do you need me to repeat it to you?"

"It's not necessary." The woman shook her head, "He will truly be annihilated."

……

Beside the pond, a figure in black clothes and black hair descended silently in the shadows of the forest. His golden eyes glanced at Cheng Ping, who had lost his human form, and finally landed on the statue of the Virgin holding a baby in the center of the pond.

The bloody rain falling from the sky dyed the pond water red, and the raindrops like bead curtains covered the statue with gauze.

Countless pairs of milky-white arms sprouted from the back of the statue, waving irregularly like sea anemones, sprinkling droplets of white water all around.

The water drops that fell to the ground grew rapidly and turned into various strange-shaped monsters. Some were a bunch of knotted tentacles, and some were balls covered with fine teeth.

"Li."

The wind echoing between heaven and earth calmly called out the name of the person who came out.

Li turned a deaf ear and walked towards Cheng Ping expressionlessly. He raised his left hand and grabbed forward, forcefully pulling out a shadow from Cheng Ping's body.

The shadow's upper body has three fish heads, and its lower body is covered with dense tentacles. It is the sea god depicted in the statue in the copy of "Hopeless Sea"!
"I planted an anchor in your spirit body, and you were indeed called here by Him." Li stretched out his right hand, held the Poseidon's scepter, and walked towards the statue of the Virgin holding a baby in the center of the pond.

Poseidon was restrained by Li with one hand, twisting his body unwillingly, and his tentacles were beating and twisting Li's body randomly, but all the attacks seemed to fall into vain, without causing any damage, and they could not even hinder Li's footsteps.

Li stepped into the pond and placed his toes firmly on the blood-colored water.

The evil god who descended on the stone statue seemed to have finally noticed his visit. Countless slits appeared on his forehead, and pure black and pure white eyes were arranged staggeredly, staring straight at the uninvited guest.

The rain of blood kept falling, and the newly born monsters at the foot of the stone statue rushed towards Li, but were swept to the ground by invisible force a few steps away.

The white arms followed closely, wrapping around Li's neck more flexibly than a ribbon, but stopped a few centimeters away.

In the void near the stone statue, thousands of creatures howled unwillingly in unison.

He realized that the lack of power after his resurrection was not a matter of the number of sacrifices, but the quality of the sacrifices, which made the source of his divine power mixed.

He began to investigate the thousand and one bodies that had been thrown into the pond.

Female corpses, female corpses, pregnant corpses that simultaneously symbolize life and death... male corpses...

Yes, among the one thousand and one corpses, three were male corpses, and they died in the past few days!
The stone statue roared like a beast, angrily cursing those who tampered with the sacrifice.

Li had already walked in front of Him, holding the Poseidon's scepter high with one hand and stabbing it straight into His abdomen.

Cracks like roots spread at the wound, spreading to the entire statue in a matter of seconds, covering it like a net, and exploding at the moment it was connected into pieces.

The broken stones fell into the bloody pond, making loud "dong-dong" sounds one after another.

The shadow of Poseidon was crying silently, and a golden rain suddenly fell without warning in the Hopeless Sea in the distance.

Amidst the continuous sound, Li whispered: "Mother Goddess, rest in peace."

……

"He is dead." The woman listened to the wind and said, "He only has a trace of instinct-driven consciousness left, and his death was not peaceful. You and I are both the targets of his wrath."

Qisi's consciousness was hanging in the sky above the palace of thought, watching the three lines of text he had just learned in his memory scattered into fragments of strokes, becoming unrecognizable.

He seemed to hear mournful cries, and the sadness at the bottom of his thoughts was so contagious that he felt depressed for a while.

"Is it because we all tampered with His sacrifice?" Qis asked knowingly.

Thinking about it, the only thing he and the woman did in common was to replace the corpse that was used as a sacrifice.

While trapped in the morgue, he conveniently exchanged the bracelets of an unknown male corpse and a pregnant female corpse.

The woman mixed Yu Kun's body with the corpses of pregnant women.

"You seem to know a lot." Zeis looked at the woman and said with a smile, "I have reason to suspect that this copy involves something more fundamental to the weird game, and it is not as simple as it seems on the surface."

The woman also smiled, her smile without warmth: "Knowledge at the divine level, when you need to contact it, the one who has bet on your existence will let you know it. The information I told you is enough for you to gain value. ”

Qiss calmly continued: "Having said this, I am a little curious. Who are the players and what pieces are there in this so-called gambling game of the gods? Who is the one who bet on you?"

"I'm not on the chessboard." The woman shook her head.

A black and white card appeared between her fingers. A figure in white clothes and black eyes was nailed upside down to a black cross, and the cuffs and hem of his clothes were infected by the black mist that came from nowhere.

[Fallen Savior], another identity card.

"I like to cooperate with beings from various positions and levels." The woman put away her identity card and fell straight back.

Her body ignited with green flames in an instant, and the translucent flames greedily chewed the skin, flesh and bones, leaving only a pool of human-shaped ashes and a wavering words.

"If you have the intention to cooperate, you can tell the 'puppet' anytime and anywhere, and I will know."

In the vast and boundless space, among the thousands of copies, and in every corner of Sunset Ruins, men, women, old people and children wearing gold-rimmed glasses walked by occasionally.

Their footsteps paused in unison, and a silvery light gray suddenly appeared in their eyes. (End of chapter)
