Infinite spooky game

On the afternoon of April 4, the discussion in the Weird Game Forum further fermented, and the fire naturally spread to Jiuzhou Guild and Fu Jue.

[What is the motive of Jiuzhou Guild in concealing important information? I might as well be a little conspiracy-theoretic. Could it be that just like the Federation deliberately suppressed the news of malicious incidents, Jiuzhou also wants to dictate public opinion, fool the masses, and make us foolish cannon fodder? ]

[Speaking of identity cards, I am not sleepy anymore! Who said that identity cards are useless? I was deceived. I didn’t bind my identity card directly when I got it, but sold it to a player who claimed to have a collection habit. By the way, that player was from the Jiuzhou Guild. ]

[I have watched Fu Jue's live broadcast, and I am 100% sure that he has bound the ID card! Although there is only one frame of the picture, I was still his fan at that time, and I edited it frame by frame, so I finally noticed it. The image on the card is a person nailed upside down on a cross, which looks extraordinary! ]

[I am a theoretical player. I recently intended to write a set of weird game chronicles, so I specially collected the ranking data of the past thirty-six years. Have you noticed that Fu Jue entered the game twenty-two years ago, but his face has not changed at all... Is he still a human? ]

[I write novels, so I boldly speculate that the Weird Game is similar to the "Candidate Game" in the novel "Horror Paradise", and its purpose is to select new gods from potential players. The identity card may be related to the authority of the gods, and those who are bound to the identity card are eligible to become gods. I'm afraid Fu Jue's position is no longer on the side of humans...]

[The Tingfeng Guild came out to get beaten! A bunch of gossipers who claimed to know the inside story and cutting-edge intelligence, but when it came to the topic of Guiyi Ruqin (homonym) and identity cards, none of them said a word. You are definitely one of the ones who deceived everyone! ]

[It's already 2034, is there anyone who still doesn't know that Tingfeng and Jiuzhou are in the same boat? ]

The curious players in the forum had wild imaginations, and the more they talked, the more outrageous the ideas became. Various conspiracy theories and weird things emerged one after another, most of which were groundless worries and alarmist remarks.

Although there is some truth in it, most of it is fabricated and there are also some people who are just looking for trouble and make up stories, which make the already complicated situation even more muddy.

The parties involved in the center of the vortex and the current guilds, Fu Jue, Jiuzhou and Tingfeng, all seemed to be dead, and no one stood up to respond.

……

In the pure black cubic space, Fu Jue sat on a high-back chair with a black and white chessboard in front of him.

A bloody shadow sat opposite the chessboard, holding a black chess piece in his hand and gently placed it on one of the squares.

Fu Jue, holding the white chess piece, hesitated to make a move, and seemed to be in a stalemate. He suddenly raised his eyes and said to the phantom: "You cheated."

"Cheating that has not been caught is within the scope allowed by the rules." The shadow said with a smile, "Since you dare to gamble with the gods with your mortal body, you should be prepared to lose everything.

"Those who make the rules always have the privilege to go beyond the rules. How can those with vested interests practice fairness within the advantageous rules of the game? Have you never thought about this?"

He has long hair and robes, and his eyes are blood red. He is the one who should have been hung by vines in Rose Manor.

At this moment, He sighed and looked at Fu Jue, his eyes half compassionate and half teasing: "You have neither the ability to break the rules nor the awareness of being manipulated by the rules, but you still want to gain benefits from the unfavorable rules of the game. I have known you for so many years, and I never knew that you can't afford to lose like this."

"But you are not the rules." Fu Jue put down the white chess piece and looked into Qi's eyes. "You are a sinner exiled by the rules, and your true self is trapped somewhere unknown. You can only travel through the game space in your form and shadow.

"After your cheating was exposed, all the chess pieces in that game were returned to their original positions, and you were also warned about the rules. If it happens again, I believe your situation will be even worse."

Qi seemed to have heard something interesting, and his smile widened: "It can be seen that you have mastered the key evidence and established a connection with the rules. But do you really dare to retreat again?
"That time when I rolled back, I only restored the life status of each chess piece, and the rest of the existence was not forced back to its original position. As a result, you also obtained the corpse of the god you had always dreamed of, and took one of its most valued creations out of the game under the nose of the rules.

"Let's do it again. The rules will not allow the loss of the god's corpse."

Fu Jue said calmly: "That was the bargaining chip for your deal with me. I fulfilled my promise, and the divine corpse was the price you paid."

"Really? I remember clearly that in the Hopeless Sea dungeon, the guy who took over the Sea God's body and drove the Sea God's spirit into the scepter when the Sea God's scepter was taken away and the Sea God was weak, was your best friend."

Qi's shoulders trembled slightly, and he was obviously preparing malice: "And... haven't you heard that transaction terms that violate the rules are not protected by the rules? Hahahaha!"

He seemed unable to hold back and burst into laughter. His figure became increasingly blurred in his unbridled laughter, and finally at a certain moment, he shattered into bloody powder, which scattered into every corner of the space and disappeared.

Fu Jue looked calmly at the void behind the chessboard, without revealing any emotion. Only his silver-gray eyes reflected a faint light, and it was unknown what he was thinking.

He sat quietly, motionless, until the single stay duration number reached zero, then he leaned back and disappeared into the game space.

……

The Weird Investigation Bureau's Beidu headquarters is located on the fifth underground floor. The silver-white alloy walls reflect the bright white light. A high-tech electronic screen is embedded in the wall, popping up data and analysis of various dimensions in real time.

Fu Jue, holding several large books, walked through the maze-like corridor, passed by square lights emitting cold light, stopped at the elevator room at the deepest part, and lightly pressed the down button.

The pupils are scanned, the verification is passed, and the elevator door opens.

Fu Jue walked in and pressed the only floor button in the elevator.

Everyone who enters this elevator is going to the same place, which is the sixth underground floor where only a few people have access, a strange "prison" dedicated to storing things related to gods.

Yes, there, almost all the weirdos were once powerful players in the weird game.

Some of them have established too close a connection with the gods and are considered to be at risk of betraying and endangering humanity; others, by chance, have acquired some of the gods' authority, but unwisely join hostile forces such as Xila or Tianping.

——After being captured, they were all sent here.

The elevator door closed and the elevator began to descend.

The only sound that could be heard in the silence was one person's breathing. After fifteen breaths, the elevator stopped and the door opened.

Fu Jue walked out, still going straight, and stopped in front of the door at the bottom of the corridor on the sixth underground floor.

The electronic screen on the door meticulously displays information that is enough to shock any player.

[Strange name: Seagod's corpse]

[Type: God]

[Danger Level: S-]

[Note: Possessing the basic characteristics of a god-like existence, including immortality, contamination, assimilation, etc. It is directly connected to the rules, has no specific form, can return to the weird game at any time, and can randomly kill people at any time.

[When leaving the instance, it merged with a human soul for unknown reasons. The human was friendly to the Weird Investigation Bureau and the Jiuzhou Guild, and was willing to cooperate with the Bureau to control the weirdness. Therefore, the danger level was slightly reduced. ]

Fu Jue input the password, scanned his pupils, and entered the room.

The field of vision was painted a solid orange in a few seconds, and a huge deep yellow eyeball hung high above the head, with a lifeless look.

The sound of the waves washed over my ears, the salty smell of the ocean filled my nostrils, the wind blew salt and gravel, stirring up a subtle itch on my body. Tentacles and fish shadows danced in the air, and strangely shaped fish bones lay around my feet, shattering into white, star-shaped fragments the moment I stepped on them, and reassembled into another shape once I moved my feet away.

This is not the true body of the god, but an extension of strange pollution. After being blocked by layers of alloys and cement, it is controlled to a level acceptable to humans.

Fu Jue walked through the huge group of illusions and stood in front of a concrete wall with only a glass window left.

Behind the cement wall are layers of gold, diamonds and other materials that can effectively block out strange things. It is built ten meters inward, like a huge tomb, burying the bodies of gods.

Various objects are neatly placed against the cement wall, including Swiss Army knives, clocks, compasses, flashlights and other daily adventure supplies. The most numerous are pure white rings, arranged in groups of two, three or even seven, in different categories.

It is the team ring.

A long time ago, the Weird Investigation Bureau knew the technical key to bringing real creations into the weird game.

That is, to allow those creations to be polluted by the gods.

The gradual method is to store the creature within fifteen meters of the god's body for a month; the more radical method is to directly let the creature be soaked in the god's blood.

The first batch of team rings of Jiuzhou and Tingfeng were all soaked in divine blood.

After solving the immediate problem, the first method can be used for sustainable development.

Fu Jue bent down slightly and placed the book in his hand on the floor.

The sea breeze blew his hair, and the translucent tentacles gently stroked the surface of the books. The next second, all the books disappeared out of thin air.

Fu Jue stood up and nodded to the existence buried deep behind the wall: "Without the use of divine power, these books can be read for seven days.

"I will come to see you again in seven days, Lu Li."

……

On the other side, Liu Yuhan opened her eyes in a game space that looked like a study.

She pushed open the door, appeared under the tombstone of the list of Sunset Ruins, and covered it with her hand.

Silver-white text popped up: [Would you like to spend 100 points to check past records? ]

Liu Yuhan said word by word: "Look for the last player to complete the "Meat-eating" dungeon."

Each record is updated synchronously. Even if the player has not set a display nickname in the novice pool copy, once he becomes a formal player and sets a nickname, the newly set nickname will still replace the asterisks in the past records truthfully.

As long as you set a nickname, it will be easy to see who has completed which copies.

[This query is an accurate query, which requires one thousand points. Do you want to continue the query? ]

In the past, one thousand points was not a big number for Liu Yuhan.

But after signing the soul contract, Qisi has been controlling her points reserve to a level that allows her to neither die nor become a demon, and her financial situation can be described as tight.

Liu Yuhan glanced at her points balance, adjusted her round-frame glasses, and said, "Continue to check."

[Spend 1,000 points to find out the last player to clear the "Meat-eating" dungeon.]

[Query result: None]

Liu Yuhan’s eyes widened.

What's going on? In this weird game, everything that exists must leave traces, so why is there no record of the copy that has been cleared?

Is there a bug in the game, or was it deleted by someone using some kind of prop? Why only delete this one?

“Yes, only one person cleared the Flesh-Eating dungeon. He was clearly a massacre player, and he killed the members of the Jiuzhou Guild.

"Although Lin Chen is unscrupulous and arrogant, he doesn't dare to confront Jiuzhou Guild head-on, so he deleted the record to avoid being wanted."

Liu Yuhan thought he had sorted out the logic, so he took out the Jiuzhou emblem from his pocket and silently said "return to the guild headquarters."

She signed a [Soul Contract] with Qi Si and could not do anything bad to Qi Si, but Lin Chen and Qi Si were not the same person, so her reporting of Lin Chen should not be considered a violation of the contract.

As long as Jiuzhou noticed Lin Chen, Qis would either have to cut off his tail and survive, suffering heavy losses, or be implicated by Lin Chen and enter the sight of Jiuzhou Guild...

A flash of white light passed by, and the surrounding scene changed rapidly. When it settled down again, it was the interior of a conference hall.

Liu Yuhan walked towards the remaining staff sitting on the rostrum.

Before she could speak, the young man who stayed at the guild's headquarters to sort out documents looked up at her and said, "Sister Liu, you're here. There's one thing you need to be mentally prepared for..."

Liu Yuhan noticed the young man's hesitant attitude and was slightly stunned.

She asked: "What's the matter?"

"Your former regular teammate Tang Yu...died in the dungeon."

This short sentence pierced Liu Yuhan's mind like a bolt from the blue. She froze in place and felt as if she had gone deaf for a moment.

How could it be so sudden? She had clearly received a delivery of snacks from that person the day before, and she was clearly eating the snacks that person gave her before entering the dungeon, so how could it be that suddenly... that person was dead?

The young man's lips opened and closed as he continued to state, "His death was rather special, his soul remained in the copy, so his real body died immediately, leaving no time for words.

“The reason why we knew he was dead was because of the live broadcast of members Luo Haihua and Luo Jianhua, which confirmed that they were in the same copy, and that copy had only one survivor, not any of them.

"We don't know what happened exactly, because except for the first day of the live broadcast, the screen was almost black for the next few days. We could only see some words written on white paper...

"By the way, that copy is called "Ghost"." (End of this chapter)
