Infinite spooky game

"It's time to finish."

Li raised his left hand, and his figure in black turned into a translucent stream of light. Golden vine shadows stretched out from every corner, and the golden light dispersed the gloomy gloom.

The steaming mist in the corridors, the ghosts standing in the forest, the flesh and blood floating on the water, the mildew scratched on the walls, all the stains symbolizing weirdness, decay and death were gently brushed away by the vines, leaving behind clean and Dazed whiteness.

Lin Chen leaned against the cold stone wall of the pond, holding the handle of the black umbrella tightly and protecting the huge umbrella in front of him.

A vine-like golden light fell from the sky, and all living things fell into silence for an instant, and the world also left a moment of silence for it.

The heavily armed caregiver who was one step away from Lin Chen was frozen on the spot, his outstretched claws frozen in the air. His outline flickered like a poorly connected TV screen, and disappeared after two or three clicks.

Not only that nurse, but other NPCs dressed as medical staff and ghosts that looked like patients all flashed together as if they were electrocuted, and then disappeared in an instant, as if someone had turned off the holographic projection switch.

Lin Chen felt that the earth was vibrating violently. First it rose rapidly, then moved left and right, and then settled rapidly after reaching a certain node.

The feeling of weightlessness is dizzying, the earth-shattering dust is flying in the air, gravel and wood chips are sputtering in all directions, and they will not settle for a long time.

Through the gray void, Lin Chen saw a corpse in a white coat that was no longer humanoid. Except for the upper body, which remained intact, the lower body was completely replaced by liquid tentacles.

The corpse's cheeks are covered with tiny eyes, and the corners of its mouth are lined with fine fangs. With its facial features that are not too severely deformed, its identity can be barely identified——

Cheng Ping!

"Cheng Ping seems to have turned into a monster...but he is already dead. I don't know who killed him." Lin Chen calmly reported to Qisi.

He took a step forward, and the foot he took was pushed back to its original position in the next second, as if he had never moved from beginning to end.

The hospital is shrinking, and the originally spacious flat land has shrunk to only three or four people standing next to each other. The already crowded trees are pressing in like walls, forming a semi-circular fence around the pond.

Lin Chen was caught between the fence and the pond, unable to move.

He turned his head with difficulty and saw a pile of unrecognizable gravel scattered on the stone platform in the center of the pool, which seemed to be part of a complete statue.

There is a scepter-like prop stuck diagonally on the gravel. After looking at it for two seconds, a large number of words with difficult to decipher the meaning emerge. It is not because of lack of knowledge, but because the words themselves are wrong and the original strokes are disrupted. It was later reorganized and could no longer be read.

Lin Chen suddenly felt a great sadness, but could not understand its origin. He seemed to be wearing a water-proof raincoat and soaked in the ocean of emotions. He could only watch but could not intervene.

After an unknown amount of time, the golden vines covering the entire space shattered into specks of light, falling to the ground and melting like snowflakes.

The shock subsided, and Lin Chen looked back. The wide-open hospital door was behind him, embedded in the gap in the fence surrounded by trees.

Behind the door is no longer a dark staircase, but a bright and long narrow hospital corridor, with the morgue, kitchen, operating room, archives, office, duty room and Ward 404 distributed from near to far.

And sitting closest to the door was a dying bloody man.

It's Zeiss!
……

In the Blue Frog Hospital, Zeiss leaned against the wall and sat limply.

Thin blood like smoke seeped out from the wound, evenly dyeing the white shirt a uniform blood red. The folds of the fabric stick to each other, like flesh that has been turned out after being cut with a knife.

Zeiss saw himself in the reflection of the iron door. Two pure black scalpels were nailed to his left shoulder and right palm respectively. They were wrinkled and miserable, and it looked like he was going to die soon.

He thought for a while, and if he insisted on raising his left hand to pull out the knife nailed to his right palm, he should be able to succeed.

But it's not necessary. There's nothing to do, so it's fine to just sit like this.

The pain felt like it was separated by a layer of gauze, light and distant.

Zeiss easily ignored the slight discomfort and began to think about what the puppet master was telling him.

The first is the role of identity cards.

The Puppet Master claimed that it was the ticket to enter the final copy, and it was also a historical fragment that contained the authority of the gods.

The former cannot be verified, and the latter has always been Chess's guess.

The puppet master also said that the final dungeon is not a separate dungeon as most players think, but more like a world where all players compete on the same stage, and it is related to the closed black tower in the center of Sunset Ruins. .

There is also no way to verify it.

What Qiss cares more about is the "cooperation" mentioned by the puppet master. The terms are too false and empty. They are just about not deliberately infringing on each other's interests. In the dungeon, he gives priority to forming an alliance with Xila. In the future, he can form a team with more Xila members. Clichés like copies.

This level of "cooperation" is definitely not the true purpose of the puppet master.

"He obviously controls enough puppets and can easily gain the numerical advantage in each copy, but he still needs to find collaborators; he can obviously kill all threats easily, but he still leaves behind many potential players... Is it related to the final copy?”

Qisi twisted his left arm with difficulty, put his left hand into his trouser pocket, and took out two team rings.

The blood-colored rings were of a simple style, and they were clearly the two he had picked off from the fingers of Huang Xiaofei and Lu Zimo. Their origins could be said to be clean.

"In the final copy, are you going to form a team to participate?"

The space suddenly shook violently, and the floor flew upwards after sinking for several meters.

The scattered dust and stones flew around in the space, and a few particles got into Qisi's nasal cavity, causing bursts of coughing.

At the bottom of my mind, Cheng An's voice sounded excitedly: "The director is dead, Cheng Ping is dead... Frog Hospital will be mine from now on..."

Qisi has known for a long time that Cheng An is not a good person. He makes a high-sounding deal with the player, but he just wants to use the player to get rid of the dean.

Even so, he still asked with great interest: "In your transaction with Weird Games, did you say that after Cheng Ping's death, the Green Frog Hospital would belong to you?"

Cheng An was stunned.

Two seconds later, he said with a stern expression, "Besides the frogs, I am the only one in the Frog Hospital. When you return your body to me, everything left by Cheng Ping will be mine."

Qisi raised the corners of his lips, and in the consciousness space, his spirit body bent over and laughed.

"Comrade Cheng An, when have you ever seen a scene where a ghost takes away a body and then returns the body to the original owner?"

Under Cheng An's guarded eyes, the young man in red moved his fingers slightly, and the bloody pendulum flew back from the door, wrapped around the young man's wrist, and the sharp pendulum plunged heavily, sucking the gurgling blood.

[Effect 1: After seeing blood, the injured person will randomly obtain one of the following states: amnesia, hallucination, high fever, etc.]

The random effect is an illusion.

Qisi, who was already a ghost, looked at the phantom of his mother that appeared in front of him, and smiled crookedly: "If you want, I can prick you a few more times, and you can always get a more serious effect like amnesia randomly."

"It's your body anyway, I don't feel bad about it."

The boundary as far as the eye can see is approaching, and in just a few seconds, the door at the bottom of the flat floor is in front of us.

Outside the open door is no longer a mist filled with figures, but a pond hidden by trees. The statue in the center has been broken into pieces, and the Poseidon's scepter is stuck diagonally in the gravel, quiet and solemn.

When Qisi saw Lin Chen standing by the pond, he immediately lost all expression and became as weak as a sick person who was about to die.

He ordered through his conscious connection: "Lin Chen, the scepter on the stone platform is my prop. Can you get it for me?"

Qisi was covered in blood and it looked difficult to move, so there was nothing wrong with asking someone to help him run errands.

Lin Chen did not doubt that he was there, turned around and stepped into the pond, pulled out the Poseidon's scepter inserted into the stone platform, and stood it beside him.

There seemed to be two cards hidden among the gravel, and Lin Chen took them out.

The first card is black and white.

On the card, a figure wearing a white robe and a white turban holds a white scepter, leading the way leisurely, followed by a team of black shadows.

[Identity Card: Undead Shepherd]

[Effect: You will be able to control any undead or ghost in the copy]

The second card is predominantly black.

The figure in black robe holds a crow mask in his hand, standing solemnly and silently, with dense black faces floating behind him, as if crying or frightened.

[Identity tag: Doctor Beak]

[Effect: When upright, you can resurrect a dead person in the copy; when reversed, you will become a dead person and fall into the abyss forever]

If the first identity card gives people a sense of peace and tranquility, then the second identity card is full of ominousness.

The female teacher's words echoed in Lin Chen's ears: "The 'door' has been opened, and the opening of the 'tower' will not be too far away. If there are 'cards', it is better to form a new force from scratch."

——Is this the "card" she calls?

"Lin Chen, come here." Qisi urged him lukewarmly, looking at Lin Chen who was standing there blankly.

Lin Chen came to his senses and quickly walked a few steps to reach Qisi.

The strong smell of blood filled his nose, and he saw clearly the scalpel nailed to Qiss's body, and he was immediately aroused to empathize with pain.

He reached forward, but did not dare to pull out the scalpel. He just placed the Poseidon Scepter in Qis's hand.

Looking at the bloody Qisi, even though he knew that he would return to his original state after leaving the dungeon, his voice still had a nasal sound: "Brother Qi, please hold on for a while, the system prompts that it is stuck for some reason, wait a moment... …It will be fine soon…”

Qisi was almost killed by the Poseidon's remnant soul in the Poseidon's scepter, so he "kindly" lent it to Cheng Ping.

In this way, Poseidon has a body, Cheng Ping has a godhead, and he obtains a safe Poseidon Scepter, a win-win-win situation.

Lin Chen safely took back the Poseidon's scepter, while Cheng Ping died into a bunch of weird tentacle monsters. Although Poseidon's whereabouts were unknown, it was enough to show that his plan was successful. [Name: Poseidon Scepter]

[Type: props]

[Effect: Gives you the ability to play god. (The more sins absorbed, the stronger the effect)】

After absorbing all the evils of Frog Hospital, the effects of Poseidon's Scepter changed.

Zeiss stared at the black wave pattern on the head of the scepter, and the meaning behind it was automatically generated in his mind.

He learned from this that in the future, establishing an anchor point no longer required specific weird props. He only needed to let the scepter fully absorb the evil in a certain area to establish a connection with that area.

For example, now, he has established an anchor point at Frog Hospital through the scepter and has initially taken control of the place.

Qisi did not immediately put the Poseidon Scepter back into the toolbar, but turned his head slightly to look at the two identity cards held by Lin Chen in his right hand.

Lin Chen understood, squatted down, and placed the identity card on Qisi's left hand.

The blood stain automatically reverses direction when it is about to touch the card, without infecting the card surface at all.

Qisi looked over the effects of the identity cards and said softly: "Identity cards are historical fragments that contain the authority of the gods. Each player can only choose one to bind. Unbinding is very troublesome."

"The Undead Shepherd is a card that focuses on force. Since it can control the undead, its self-protection ability is not too weak. If I remember correctly, you are ranked 85th on the newcomer list. Add in the effect of this card. Maybe we can reach the top fifty.”

"Doctor Beak's positive effects are very strong, but the negative effects are fatal enough that he cannot be used until the last moment. If you have the power to resurrect the dead, you will definitely become the target of competition among the big guilds. At that time, your fate will not be controlled by you, and it is very likely that you will Being forced to take risks..."

Ziss paused for a moment and said in a joking tone: "If you bind the card of Undead Shepherd, if I can still leave this copy, you will have a chance to control me when you meet me again in the future, which can just offset me and The soul contract you signed."

Lin Chen listened to Qisi's analysis in a daze, and keenly caught the deep breath of death in the words.

He hurriedly comforted: "Brother Qi, don't talk nonsense. We have completed the main mission, but we are stuck... You will definitely be able to leave this dungeon alive..."

"No chance." Qisi shook his head gently, "You touch my heart and see if it's still beating?"

Lin Chen was horrified, and raised his hand to cover Qisi's heart - there was deathly silence, without any beating.

He withdrew his hand and touched Qisi's arm with his fingertips. It was too cold, as cold as ice, and blue-black burn marks appeared on the touched area within a few breaths.

"Qi...Brother Qi, what's going on?"

Qiss laughed at himself: "It's my skill. I miscalculated the number of times and used it one more time. It suffered backlash and turned into a ghost."

Skill? Soul contract?

How could such a meticulous person as Qis make a miscalculation?
There was a flash of lightning in Lin Chen's mind, and Lin Chen's eyes flashed back to the time when he sought help from Qiss after being controlled by the puppet master, and when Qiss signed a contract with him.

'So this time, are you willing to risk your life? '

At that time, Qiss said this in a helpless and pitiful tone.

He originally thought that this was just asking him, but now it seems that this sentence is not Qisi's asking himself.

It is impossible for Zeiss to make a simple mistake of miscalculating the number of times, unless the situation is urgent and sudden, and he has to forcefully activate the skill when the number of times is exhausted.

The answer is ready to come out.

It was because of him that Chiss forcibly activated the soul contract skill in order to help him get rid of the control of the puppet master, so that it was counterattacked...

Lin Chen opened his mouth, wanting to apologize for not being vigilant, wanting to say that he wasn't worth it, wanting to say that if he couldn't get rid of control, he could just die, and there was no need to take such a big risk for him...

But he couldn't say a word.

Qiss sighed: "Take the Poseidon Scepter away. It is related to the secrets of the god level. It may be able to help you pass the final copy in the future."

"I don't have many relatives in reality. I'm afraid I won't be discovered until it rots in the house... If you don't mind the trouble, can you go to Jiangcheng Omi Community to collect a body for me?"

Qisi's words were as breathless as the air, and he was completely explaining the aftermath.

Lin Chen squatted beside him in a daze, wiping the blood on his body with the lapel of his clothes.

The back of his hand inadvertently touched an identity card, and in the phantom triggered by inspiration, the doctor in black robe slowly put the crow mask on his face, and the undead behind gave birth to living skin at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Lin Chen held the identity card and his eyes lit up: "Brother Qi, as long as I bind the [Doctor Bird's Beak] card and pull out the correct position, I can revive you!"

Qisi lowered his eyes and said: "If you pull out the reverse position, you will die. Going from one death to two deaths is a big loss."

Lin Chen seemed to have not heard anything and pressed the [Doctor Beak] card in his hand to his heart.

The huge black card loomed looming behind him, scattered into diamond-shaped black fragments and then submerged into his body.

Two upside-down cards were suspended between Lin Chen and Qisi.

Lin Chen flipped open one of the sheets——

[Upright position].

Lin Chen smiled: "Brother Qi, my luck has always been very good."

Warm white light caressed Qisi's body, but no trace of heat remained.

Ghosts are not necessarily dead, and the process of alienation into ghosts seems irreversible.

Qiss had already expected it, and he controlled the cursed spirit hidden in his sleeves without leaving a trace and pricked his arm several times until the effect of a high fever randomly appeared, making his face turn a little rosy.

"Thank you, Lin Chen."

He looked at Lin Chen and smiled sincerely, as if his life had really just been saved.

It doesn't matter if you become a ghost. The two dungeons of "Double Happiness Town" and "Dialectical Game" have proven that players who have become ghosts can also leave the dungeon.

All Qis' actions just now were just taking advantage of the situation to force Lin Chen to bind the [Doctor Beak] card and give up the [Undead Shepherd] card.

The ability to resurrect from the dead can be used as a bargaining chip in negotiations. Even if the risk is high, he is not the one who bears the price anyway.

At the same time, he does not want the ability to unconditionally control him to exist in the world at all, so the [Undead Shepherd] card must be sealed.

If the [Soul Contract] skill had not been banned, Qisi would have controlled Lin Chen to directly bind [Doctor Beak] without hesitation, and there would be no need to spend so much time inducing him to make a choice on his own initiative.

However, there are benefits to the current development. Lin Chen seems to be convinced from the bottom of his heart. In the future, he will not have to work hard to use contract control at all times, and he will not have to worry about complications when skills are blocked.

Lin Chen didn't know what Qis was thinking, and worriedly looked at the scalpel nailed to the young man's wound: "Qi...Brother Qi, do you need to pull it out?"

Qisi knew in his heart that he was still in the state of a ghost, and if he was touched by Lin Chen again, his secret would be revealed. He refused without changing his face: "It's not necessary, it's almost over anyway, isn't it?"

He pushed a red ring in his hand towards Lin Chen and asked with a smile: "Are you interested in forming a team for future dungeons?"

Lin Chen picked up the ring, nodded his head like a chicken pecking at rice, and said incoherently with joy: "Yeah! I'm interested! I do!"

The system interface recovered from the lag, and the silver-white text was refreshed as scheduled.

[Congratulations to the player for clearing the team copy "Frog Hospital"]

[The world of suffering is called life, and the second is death. Weep when we are alive, weep when we die, weep when we are alive and when we die. 】

On the black and white background of old movie quality, pregnant women with big bellies but skinny bodies lined up in a queue, walking forward with eyes blank.

Skeleton-like babies fell from their bodies one after another, followed behind them, and grew up at a speed visible to the naked eye, growing into the same skinny women.

Their bellies grew bigger little by little, and they gave birth to hollow babies, over and over again.

Bones gradually piled up on both sides of the road. Those piles of bones turned into mountains of gold and silver, and quickly got lower.

The buildings next to it changed from thatched houses to palaces, then to bungalows and high-rise buildings.

The queue of pregnant women is always walking numbly and slowly, endless...

[Mother hates her son, and her son bites her mother, year after year, generation after generation, without interruption. Suffering and suffering, hating and hating, but to whom? 】

["Frog Hospital" True End-"Reincarnation of Suffering" has been included]

[A copy will be automatically sent out after three minutes]

Outside the iron gate, a long-haired woman in white clothes stained with blood and dragging her umbilical cord walked out of the forest, walked softly to Cheng Ping's body, and slowly squatted down beside it as if she was afraid of waking him up.

The woman gently hugged Cheng Ping's head full of eyes and fangs, lowered her body and gently kissed the ugly corpse, feeling nostalgic and admiring.

Cheng Xiaoyu also appeared, threw himself on the body and cried loudly. After a moment, he raised his head and glared at Chiss: "Bad guy! You are a bad guy!"

"Yes, I am a bad guy." Qisi smiled crookedly, holding the lower handle of Poseidon's scepter with his left hand and leaning forward slightly.

Golden rain fell from the sky, hitting Cheng Xiaoyu's family of three like meteors and lava, igniting a raging fire.

Cheng Xiaoyu and the woman screamed in pain and turned into two hill-like piles of ashes in just half a minute.

Qisi watched with interest. From the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Lin Chen who was stunned on the spot, with a hint of compassion in his smile.

"Who says good people don't live long..." (End of this chapter)
