Infinite spooky game

In the Ruins of Sunset, the rankings on the Newcomer List stone tablet are changing rapidly.

The record that topped the list and belonged to [Chang Xu] faded quickly like a piece of paper soaked in water, disappearing without a trace, foreshadowing the outcome of death.

The records of completing 10 copies gradually disappeared. This was a natural change in the list, but it was still shocking under the cover of this death ceremony that was watched by everyone.

[Dong Xiwen]'s record rose to the top of the list, but it only lasted for two seconds before being replaced by a new record.

Everyone saw the light grey mark:

[1, ** (This player has not set a display nickname), male, cleared copy 6]

The players held their breath and stared at the list intently, waiting for no new changes.

The rankings have been frozen here, and the competition for the top spot has come to an end. Everyone who has witnessed it all can't help but feel as if they were in another world.

"Wait? Why is it still changing?" A player raised his hand and pointed to the record at the top of the list.

Players saw that the asterisk at the top of the list and the label next to it that said "This player has not set a display nickname" faded and were replaced by a two-character name.

That name is——【Siqi】.

"Hurry up and look at the records of the Colosseum dungeon!" Someone caught a glimpse of something and shouted.

The crowd rushed to the stone tablet displaying the dungeon records like a tide, and saw that the latest updated record on it was——

[The True End of the Colosseum-"The Gambling Game of the Gods" has been included]

[MVP player: Siqi]

[The Colosseum dungeon has been permanently closed due to force majeure]

【Last player to clear the level: Siqi】

……

In the game space, Qis sat back in a high-back chair, the shadow of the list stone tablet appearing in front of him.

The record belonging to him is at the top of the list. The "Ghost" copy was not counted in the number of copies he cleared because he participated in the whole process as a ghost.

[Fame and praise will eventually belong to you, blood is your crown, and bones are your steps]

[Congratulations on killing the previous leaderboard and reaching the top of the newcomer list under the watchful eyes of the public]

The sound of fireworks exploding and the simulated applause and cheers mixed together like a dazzling kaleidoscope, making people's brains swell.

Qis closed his eyes for a while, the noise disappeared, and everything was quiet. When he opened his eyes again, two lines of text appeared in front of him.

[Do you want to set the display nickname immediately? ]

[After the setting is completed, the nickname will be displayed in the rankings, first pass records, and public announcements]

He had seen these two lines of prompts once when he had just become an official player. At that time, he casually reported the name "Chang Xu", but gave up setting it after learning that the name was taken.

Maybe it was because he had become a human again after his resurrection, and from the perspective of the weird game, he was a new player entering the game space; or maybe it was because he became the first on the new player list, and there had never been a precedent in the past where the first on the list was an asterisk -

The reminder urging him to set a nickname sounded again, implying anticipation.

"You want me to set it up, right?" asked Zeiss.

Weird Game: [God needs a name that is well known to believers in order to gather the desires and sins of believers]

The trees in the Hall of Thought are filled with clusters of scarlet leaves. Except for the one belonging to Lin Chen, the others are from the ratmen in the "Colosseum" copy.

The golden vine hanging down from the left side of the high-back chair has golden fruits hanging on it, corresponding to the strangely contaminated Qijia Village and the people infected with insomnia bacteria.

All the villagers of Qijia Village have died, leaving behind an empty village filled with ghosts and corpses.

A number of people infected with the insomnia virus died, but many more survived. They manifested as scarlet points of light, and their connection with Qis was not out of faith, but out of fear.

Qi Si found the leaf that symbolized Liu Yuhan among the many leaves. After draining all the points, he crushed it and let the light slip through his fingers.

He half-closed his eyes and said, "I don't think I will have too many living believers. Faith in me will really die, and it will be a very miserable death."

Weird Game: [You will eventually have everything. The reason why this world exists is to die for you in the future]

Qi Si was silent for two seconds, then laughed: "When you put it that way, it seems as if the world will end if I die. If I had heard this before I was six years old, I might have believed it for the time being."

[Do you want to set the display nickname immediately? ]

The weird game repeated itself again, like a retarded AI that had cleared all previous conversation data.

Qi Si thought for a moment and said, "Let's call him 'Sichi'."

[You have set your display nickname to 'Siqi'. This nickname will be displayed in the rankings, first pass records, and public announcements.]

【Sichi, welcome back】

In front of Qi Si, the asterisk on the record belonging to him was replaced by "Siqi".

Along with this change, the records of the previous copies of "Rose Manor", "Carnivore", "Hopeless Sea", "Grand Performance", "Red Maple Leaf Boarding School" and "Colosseum" also changed. The MVP column all showed the word "Siqi".

This information is not difficult to find, and I believe it will be known by all major guilds in a short time, but as of now, Qis no longer cares.

The "Colosseum" copy caused a huge stir, and he was successfully pushed to the center of the storm. Chang Xu even told everyone what he had done. He believed that as long as the Jiuzhou Guild was willing to operate, many players would believe it.

Why should he continue to cover up and whitewash things in vain? Why should he be so timid in proving himself and clarifying the facts?

He is in the Unnamed Guild, standing on the opposite side of the Kyushu Guild, and his power is almost the same as Xila, Tianping and others. Why should he abide by the moral code set by Kyushu?
[Insomnia] After a period of spreading, the bacteria controlled the lives and deaths of more than 10,000 people. He was confident that by means of coercion and kidnapping, he could make those so-called righteous people afraid to act rashly.

It's time for him to come out in the open and prepare to sit down at the negotiating table.

[Your item "Fate Pocket Watch" has been baptized by the copy, and its effect has changed]

His left wrist felt slightly hot, and Qis saw that the originally golden pocket watch of fate was now outlined with a bloody pattern, which was weird and difficult to discern its meaning.

The worn-out abrasion and rust on the surface have also been washed away. Although the ancient style has not changed much, it still exudes a new life.

【Name: Pocket Watch of Destiny (Complete)】

[Type: props]

[Effect: ①Return objective time to the last decision point that affects fate (sufficient sacrifices must be offered before use, the sacrifices will be stranded in the long river of time and cannot be reset);
② Use soul as sacrifice to reset fate (the effect depends on the number and quality of the sacrifice). 】

[Note: Time marks destiny, and destiny manipulates time]

This was one of the helps Li provided him.

The rewind time of the [Destiny Pocket Watch] is no longer limited to the original one minute. Theoretically, you can go upstream along the river of destiny infinitely. After making a choice and seeing the future, you can turn back to the fork in the road that can change the final outcome.

There is no restriction that it can only be used once in each copy. It can be used as long as enough sacrifices are offered.

Qi Si reached into the golden world fruit that symbolized the group of insomniacs and crushed a handful of light spots.

The grid where the pocket watch icon was located in the prop column was filled with blood, and it was still a quarter away from filling the entire grid. The outer shell of the pocket watch on the wrist was surging with blood, and most of the lines were shining, except for the end and the tip, which were not yet stained with ochre.

Qi Si slowed down and crushed the light spots one by one.

The item slot was filled up little by little, and the pattern on the pocket watch was gradually painted a solid bright red. Finally, the words "Available" appeared next to the item name on the system interface.

From this, Qi Si knew that it took a thousand lives to activate the effect of the [Fate Pocket Watch].

It's a bit expensive, but it's worth it compared to the upgraded effect.

The settlement text finally started to refresh.

[Evaluation level S for "Colosseum", reward level 5000]

[Clear the True End of "Colosseum" and get 5000 bonus points]

[World view cracking degree 100%, reward points 5000]

[Complete the main mission x2, reward points 10000]

[Reclaim the "Dark Judge" identity card, reward points 10000]

The main quest of "Killing Zis" is shared by all players, including Zis himself, so he will naturally get corresponding points.

What interested Qis more was the item about [Retrieving the “Dark Judge” identity card].

In the "Grand Performance" copy, after he killed Cynthia, he searched out the card "Fool Trickster" from her relics. Now this card is still lying in his backpack.

After killing Chang Xu, there was no trace of the [Dark Judge] card. It seemed that it was taken back by the strange game.

It can be confirmed that the identity card bound to the player will be automatically recovered after the holder's death.

On the one hand, this weird game encourages players to kill the ID card holders, and on the other hand, it uses the ID card as a ticket to enter the final copy. The purpose is obvious.

——He wants to collect all the ID cards that have been issued on a large scale.

This reminded Zis of a joke: A man sells meat pigs as pet pigs, claiming that they will not grow too big, and tells the buyer that if the pig grows up, he can return it and exchange it for a new piglet.

The way the weird game treats players is like killing pigs.

Send out the identity cards first, and when enough sins have accumulated, reap them with one strike.

[Unlock the achievement "Winner" (win in the gambling game of the gods), reward points 5000]

[Unlock the achievement "Resurrection" (die once in the game and revive), reward 5000 points]

[Unlock the achievement "Messiah" (gain the faith of one thousand souls), reward points 5000]

[The total reward points are 55000, which have been deposited into the points account]

[Congratulations on completing the "Colosseum" dungeon perfectly and obtaining the reward item "Colosseum"]

As the last prompt sounded, a human-head-sized model of the Colosseum appeared on the bronze table in front of Qis, with an introduction text floating next to it:

【Name: Colosseum】

【type:##】

[Effect: ① Can be placed in the "real world" to capture any creature and bring it into the field for fighting;

【②After being released, it moves randomly around the world, and no one knows its exact location except the one who released it;

[③The number of living beings in the Colosseum is always 10,000. If there are casualties, new living beings will be captured to replenish them.]

[Note: The world is a huge Colosseum]

This is undoubtedly a weird thing that can be launched, similar to the [Statue of the God of Joy] and [Insomnia Germs], but it is more powerful than those two. It is like creating a small weird game in the real world.

You just need to throw it into reality, without spending any energy to manage it, and it can fully automatically extract sin and provide a stable supply of sacrifices, faith and souls.

Of course, Qis didn't plan to launch it right away.

Weapons of mass destruction are most frightening before they are used. Rather than being hunted down at all costs by the weird Bureau of Investigation after killing a bunch of people, he would rather hang this as a sword of Damocles over the world, threatening and intimidating all of humanity.

After dealing with most of the mess, Qi Si stood up, walked to the full-length mirror, and reached out to touch the cold mirror surface.

[You have just completed a dungeon. There are still seven days until the next forced match. Do you want to enter the next dungeon immediately?]

Qi Si nodded and said, "Yes, I want to specify a copy."

[Please tell me the name of the copy you want to enter]

""Rose Manor"."

[Sorry, this instance is already occupied and cannot be entered... Error! Error! ]

[Changes in your permissions have been detected and your qualifications are being re-evaluated]

[After evaluation, you can enter this copy]

The portrait on the mirror was replaced by a black hole. The strange game told Qis that with his current authority, he could enter any copy as long as he could afford the points.

Qi Si paid the newly earned points to the strange game and stepped into the mirror.

After the sudden darkness, a dim light suddenly appeared from the edge.

Qis saw a familiar scene. Under the gray-purple sky, the ancient castle was tall and tilted, and the walls were entangled by chain-like vines with cracks all over. In the garden, he was surrounded by an endless sea of ​​roses, the red color was so bright that it looked like a solid black.

The air was as humid as the rainy season, and the sticky scent of flowers floated in it, rushing into his nostrils and almost making him vomit.

This is where it all began, and now he has returned here on his own initiative.

Shen Ming, Ye Zi and Zou Yan had died in the copy long ago, but the Xila Guild and the Libra Church behind them are now closely involved with him.

Of the two survivors, Chang Xu and Lin Chen, one was killed by him and the other became his president and became famous.

If you think about it carefully, it can really be said that life is unpredictable and things and people no longer exist.

Qi Si chuckled, walked along the path between the flowers to the heavy stone door, pushed it open and walked in, just like before.

There were no players behind the door, nor were there any furnishings familiar to Qis. There was only Qi, dressed in red, hanging by vines under the dome, with his hanging right hand a white bone without flesh covering it.

The bright spots of light floated endlessly, flowing into a long golden river in another dimension. The dazzling shadows floated in the air, passed by Qis, disappeared at a certain moment, and emerged in another place, repeating the process of appearing and disappearing.

Qis looked directly at the body of the god with a calm expression. He was not confused and dazed by the vast ocean of whispers like he had been in the "Meat-eating" copy in the past.

A great deal of faith supported his person, and knowledge and experience enabled him to understand more information. He had lost track of what fear was without knowing it.

He walked towards Qi step by step, with a brilliant smile on his lips: "Your Excellency Evil God, you promised me that you would tell me the last part of the truth." (End of this chapter)
