Infinite spooky game

The goat acting as the host and the monsters in the audience seemed to be completely unaware of the abnormality, or rather, they simply did not care about the conflicts between the players.

To the gods who are high above, human joys and sorrows, hatred and grudges are nothing but a farce to entertain themselves in their spare time.

——Disagreements are good, they can lead to disputes, and that’s when things get interesting!
The goat excitedly opened the cages and stone doors one by one, and invited the so-called "hero among humans" to the round platform.

The newlyweds stood on his left and the old ones on his right.

As the first newcomer to go on stage, Qis stood closest to the goat and observed the entire venue inconspicuously.

The circles of towering auditoriums almost blocked out the light, and they had been filled with animals at some point, so crowded that they reminded people of trucks heading to a slaughterhouse.

Below the audience seats is a resting room for the beast fighting game participants, and there seems to be something else on the lower level...

Qi Si saw a short iron door, behind which was a half-hidden staircase leading to the underground.

Four male players and one female player came on stage one after another, and their eyes fell on him and Chang Xu one after another, and then swept over the crosses and king chess pieces above their heads.

After the Dark Judge identity card brought down judgment, the win-lose mechanism of this dungeon had deviated from the original system.

There are two main quests, [Meet the Evil God] and [Kill the Sinner Qis]. You can clear the dungeon by completing either one.

The former has to go through a dangerous, life-and-death beast fighting game before one person can gain the qualification to meet the evil god and leave alive.

The latter only needs to kill Zis, and all the others can survive and no longer have to struggle for survival in this absurd arena.

There is no need to hesitate anymore. The contrast between benefits and risks is too obvious. Everyone knows what to choose.

Some players knew Chang Xu, and based on their usual experience, they firmly believed that Qi Si, who was judged by him, was unforgivable, and they also included themselves in the ranks of the executors of justice.

Some players do not know the two people well, but they believe that the approach of sacrificing one person to save everyone is in line with public order and good morals, and since he is not the victim, they naturally support it.

The dead have no right to defend themselves. In their opinion, in a many-to-one game, Qis would definitely die.

Liu Yuhan was the last newcomer to step onto the stage, and it seemed that she was also a member arranged by Jiuzhou to participate in the joint operation.

She stayed in front of Qisi for two seconds, and this time her eyes, which were always calm and lowered, were raised and stared at Qisi intently.

The moment the judgment fell, the soul contract became invalid, and the [Evil God Follower] logo in the upper left corner of her vision turned gray.

As if she had flown lightly from a long period of drowsiness and stickiness, she realized that she had finally escaped from Qis's control, although it was only temporary - the ban was only effective in the copy, but it was enough.

The being that controlled her soul, squeezed her points, and hung over her head like a sword of Damocles wasn't as powerful as she thought.

As long as you kill him in this copy, you will be free forever...

Even if Qi Si killed her in the last half hour after leaving the dungeon...

Life isn't that interesting, is it?
Liu Yuhan retracted her gaze and stood at the far left of the team. The old men gradually appeared.

Dong Xiwen and Chang Xu were among the old people's group, in addition there were three men and one woman.

After walking onto the stage, Dong Xiwen looked at Qi Si with complicated eyes.

He also broke free from the control of the soul contract, and knew that killing Qis in exchange for everyone passing the level was the best option, but he was not in a hurry to make a decision.

Firstly, as an accomplice who teamed up with Zis to enter the dungeon, and a member of the Libra Church that believed in the god who held the authority of contracts, he felt it was morally wrong to stab Zis in the back.

Secondly, Qi Si's image as a shady old man in "The Grand Performance" is deeply rooted. Although there is little hope, with Qi Si's wisdom, he is not doomed to die. Once Qi Si leaves the dungeon alive, he will definitely settle the score later...

Well, let’s not take sides yet, just take it one step at a time.

Qi Si stood quietly from beginning to end, and it was unclear whether he didn't care or was pretending to be calm.

At this moment, the players who had been keeping an eye on him saw him raise his hand, calmly take off the white ring on his little finger, and then let go of his hand.

The white ring fell to the ground with a clink, rolled a few times on the smooth stone platform, and then stopped.

Some people recognized the origin of the ring and could no longer hold back their whispers.

"It's the Jiuzhou Guild's team ring. What's going on?"

"It should be internal strife. I heard that there has been a lot of internal strife in Jiuzhou recently."

"Never mind. Clearing the dungeon is more important. If someone dies in this situation, it's not our fault..."

Dong Xiwen looked at Qi Si steadily and somewhat understood what he meant.

After falling out with Chang Xu sent by Jiuzhou, the ring that symbolizes cooperation is no longer useful, so it is better to cut off contact.

But then what? Isolated, alone, and the target of public criticism - how should he break out of this predicament?

The goat faced the audience and said with great emotion: "A hundred years ago, the God descended on our country and gave us courage and wisdom. We were able to achieve supreme power, establish the Kingdom of God on earth, and possess authority second only to Him.

"We have always considered ourselves his followers, performing rituals and offering sacrifices to him devoutly. Only the purest death and despair can satisfy him, open the door of the temple again, and grant us his blessings.

"I hope that this time, the blood and fear we offer will make Him favor us again!"

In the clear and seemingly nonexistent sky above, the shadow of the pure white temple appeared, appearing and disappearing with the flickering light.

It was as if there really was a supreme god residing there, overlooking the games carefully prepared by the believers in the kingdom of God below.

The goat looked around at the players around him and said in a stiff tone: "I also hope that some of you can receive His favor and join our kingdom of God."

The players had no intention of joining the Kingdom of God, they just wanted to enter the melee as quickly as possible and kill Qis.

As for Zis...

After listening to the goat's lines, he always felt that the background of this copy was not that simple.

If you just want to squeeze out death and despair, it would be much faster to just capture and kill people than to play a beast fighting game...

And from the description, it seems that the evil god hasn't appeared for a long time, and it is unknown whether he is still alive. Can I really meet him if I win the game?

The goat raised its hoof and seemed to be making a gesture. Each player's name and three icons appeared in front of them.

A red circle, a black diamond, and a gold triangle.

The goat introduced: "The red ones are game coins, the black ones are points, and the gold ones are food. Each of you starts with three game coins and no food. Of course, for every death, you will be rewarded with a portion of food for you to share.

"As for points, all new friends will have one thousand points each. As for old friends, based on their rankings in the previous game, they will have two thousand one hundred, one thousand eight hundred, one thousand five hundred, one thousand two hundred, nine hundred, and six hundred points respectively."

As he finished speaking, corresponding numbers appeared next to the icons in front of the players for everyone to see.

The goat continued, "You will know the function of the game currency tomorrow. Before the game officially starts, you only need to do one thing - form teams of two.

“Starting from now, the new friends will stand in the center of the stage in numerical order, and the rest of you will spend points to participate in the auction, with each point increasing by 100.

“Whoever is willing to contribute the most points will be able to successfully gain teammates and end today’s game early.

"Friends who don't have enough points can also borrow from others. As long as the other party agrees, they can borrow the corresponding points." Numbers from one to seven appear in front of the names of the new players. Qis's number is three.

He will be the third to take the stage.

The goat lowered his voice and said sinisterly: "Friends who failed to form a team, congratulations, you will face a painful death as the first sacrifice to the gods."

There are six old men in total. Judging from the discussions heard from the audience earlier, they belong to six teams and all of them lost their teammates in the last beast fighting game.

However, there are seven new players, and after the game is over, there will definitely be one more player who will be cruelly eliminated and killed.

Considering the newly added main quests, many players already have candidates for elimination in mind.

A young man named Lin Ye said in a voice that everyone could hear: "When Qi Si comes on stage, we won't make any bids. We can just eliminate him and end this instance.

"The death of a massacre player allows all of us to clear the level. This wave is a huge profit!"

His points were only 900, which was lower than the 1,000 points that new players generally had. If he participated in the auction seriously, he might not get a good result.

Even if you can successfully form a team, there won't be too many points left. If you follow the normal game process, you will most likely be at a disadvantage in the next few days.

"I have no objection." The female player named "Nian Fu" smiled briskly and looked at Qi Si. "I'm sorry, little brother. I have to trouble you to die for a while. Anyway, the final dungeon is about to start. After Master Fu Jue clears it, he will definitely choose to revive everyone."

The words "Six Hundred Points" were floating on her chest, and she also belonged to the group with less than one thousand points, so it was reasonable for her to target Qi Si.

Although the other players remained silent, they all acquiesced.

If nothing unexpected happens, this will be the easiest time for them to pass the level. As long as they work together to eliminate Qi Si...

Dong Xiwen was in a dilemma.

Should I make an offer and team up with Qis later?
If he bid, he would offend other players and would most likely be targeted to death; if he didn't bid, he would be afraid that Qis would briefly regain his authority in the last half hour of his life and take him away in one go...

Is this considered a conflict of fate? Is it certain that nothing good will happen when they get together?
The goat announced loudly: "Now please ask the first player to stand in the center of the stage!"

The person who came on stage was a young man wearing glasses. His name was "Chu Xun" and he looked like a researcher in science and engineering.

The animals in the audience howled excitedly, with "moo" and "wooo" sounds heard continuously, but no specific meaning could be heard.

Qi Si's vision blurred for a second, and the surrounding scene suddenly turned into a market filled with the smell of feces and urine.

A small open space was surrounded by a crowd of curious people. A puppy with bright fur was placed in the middle. The owner shouted in a sharp voice: "The latest breed of fighting dog, whoever bids the highest will get it!"

The picture suddenly disappeared, and the person placed in the middle became a person, and the animals gathered around like a crowd, watching excitedly.

Players were also anxiously and expectantly waiting for the progress of the game, and no one thought there was anything wrong with the "auction".

Qi Si chuckled and said, "I'll give you a thousand points."

Others just thought that he was unwilling to be sacrificed and was still struggling in his death throes.

The player named "Green" sneered: "It's useless. Most of us have higher points than you. There are only two people whose points are lower than yours. We are willing to lend points to them."

After saying this, he reported a number of "one thousand one hundred", and the points dropped to "seven hundred", and the team was successfully formed.

Liu Yuhan was the second to go on stage.

"One thousand," said Chis.

Chang Xu glanced at him calmly and said, "One thousand and one hundred."

No one raised the price anymore. The players waited indifferently for Qis to come on stage, so that they could simultaneously refuse to bid and end this uncomfortable instance.

After three bids, the points displayed on Chang Xu's chest became 400. Liu Yuhan lowered her head and walked to his side.

The goat opened his mouth and showed a weird smile: "Now please invite number three to the stage!"

Qis walked leisurely to the center of the stage, with a black cross mark floating quietly above his head, looking evil and solemn.

The venue fell into dead silence and no one made an offer for a while.

The animals in the audience sat up straight and stretched their necks to look into the distance in a noisy manner.

The goat asked: "No one is willing to bid? He is the only player among you who entered the game with wisdom.

"Countdown, ten, nine, eight..."

The players sneered at each other.

Who will bid?
Finally, I came across a simple dungeon that can be cleared by killing one person, and that person is a massacre player whose death is not worth regretting...

What's more, who would be willing to go against the group decision and offend Chang Xu, who is ranked first on the rookie list and a rising star in the Jiuzhou Guild?
Qisi raised his head slightly and looked at the temple hanging high above his head.

The golden vines that suspend the building extend in all directions, like chains used for restraint and punishment.

It rose and fell in the air as if it were breathing, but it seemed dead, and there was no way of seeing the god within.

"Seven, six, five..."

Dong Xiwen clenched his fists.

Should I make an offer?

He was not sure whether Qis could activate the Soul Contract skill in the last half hour after returning to reality after his death in the copy.

If not, everyone will be happy, and he will be free from that old bitch who is full of bad intentions.

But that is authority close to that of a god, which can penetrate the boundary between game and reality. What if?
Everything is unknown, should we take a gamble?

"four three……"

The atmosphere became tense, even the animals watching the game on both sides stopped making noise and waited for the final outcome with bated breath.

Qi Si lowered his gaze and looked at the female player named "Nian Fu" who had previously said "Please die for a while".

Nian Fu turned her head to look at him, still with a smile on her lips.

Qi Si read the implication and smiled as well.

"two……"

As the countdown was about to reach zero, the players breathed a sigh of relief, and several of them even slumped over.

Some of the animals sighed, while others exclaimed in amazement, all of them certain of the death of the human in the white shirt in the field.

"One." The last number fell.

Nian Fu suddenly raised her hand and said clearly: "I offer one hundred." (End of this chapter)
