Infinite spooky game

Qis was sitting cross-legged, trapped in Lingzi's body. From his perspective, he could see his own body holding the recorder, standing quietly one step away.

Did the Rabbit God actually "invite" his soul into Reiko's body?
Is it because his person is close to God and he is the closest to Him, so the weird game went wrong; or is there another hidden story?
Qisi doesn't think he will be the Rabbit God, at least he is definitely not now.

Qi had just told him not long ago that as a god, he would become Qi and be in charge of the authority of the contract.

Although I don't know how much of this is true or false, the status of the Lord of the Gods and the Rabbit God is too different. If they can really be connected, it would be too cheap...

The [Rabbit God Mask] in the prop bar turned gray, indicating that it was in use.

Qis felt that his face seemed to be covered by a fluffy thing, which must be the [Rabbit God Mask].

He was "invited" to Reiko's body as the rabbit god. Is it related to this prop?
"Lord Rabbit God, please fulfill our wish!"

"Lord Rabbit God, if you are willing to grant our wishes, please draw a circle on the paper!"

The girls surrounded Zis who had descended into Reiko's body, dancing like forest banshees, their voices and looks filled with intense desire.

Qi Si found himself involuntarily picking up the ballpoint pen beside his leg, slowly hovering his hand over the paper, and was about to put down a stroke.

The scarlet leaves at the bottom of the Temple of Thought did not increase or decrease at all, and were not even moving at all. The girls' desires did not create a breeze between the soul leaves.

Something is wrong. In the "Colosseum" dungeon, when the rat people were about to realize their wish, they ignited their fervent faith and large blood-red leaves grew on the branches.

Do these girls in front of me have no faith or no soul?

"Lord Rabbit God, hurry up, it's almost dawn!" The girls urged in unison, with a strange red light reflected in their eyes.

Qis checked it and found that the item bar and system interface were still displayed in front of him. All items that had not been banned after entering the dungeon could still be used.

He was not in a hurry to control Lingzi's body to leave, so he simply held the ballpoint pen and calmly drew a circle on the paper.

Seeing this, the girls cheered excitedly.

A girl with pigtails and freckles on her face came forward and said to Qi Si in a clear voice, "Lord Rabbit God, my wish is to become more beautiful."

As soon as she finished speaking, the freckles on the girl's face faded away and her skin became whiter at a speed visible to the naked eye.

At the same time, Qis's vision was filled with blood-red light, and the severe pain that penetrated deep into his bone marrow exploded from the back of his head, penetrating every blood vessel with the coldness of winter.

Countless bizarre scenes flashed before his eyes. He saw tangled chains hanging from the sky, binding his limbs. At this moment, he was no longer himself, but a giant rabbit made up of countless broken bones.

Those bones came from different creatures, humans and other small animals. Colorful souls were trapped in the bones. A blessing belt fell from the sky, cut off a small corner, and floated to the ground...

[Soul Completeness: 99%]

A line of white text appeared on the system interface. Qis realized that it might not be as easy as imagined for the Rabbit God to fulfill human wishes, but it would require consuming his own soul...

As for what happens if too much soul is consumed...

Qi Si didn't know, nor did he want to know, but it definitely wouldn't be a good thing anyway.

He tried to stand up, but just after moving a few centimeters, he was dragged back to the ground by a force.

The golden chains appeared for a moment, clanging in the air, carrying a strong sense of confinement and bondage.

The current situation does not seem like worshipping, praying to, or offering sacrifices to God, but rather like imprisoning and persecuting God...

The girls giggled and said, "The ritual has been completed. Lord Rabbit God must fulfill our wishes before he can leave."

"Lord Rabbit God has already promised to fulfill our wishes. We can't go back on our word."

Ceremony? You can't go back on your word?
It sounds like a contract...

Qi Si's eyes fell on the [Pocket Watch of Destiny].

Even though he was imprisoned, he was still able to mobilize the prop bar. Now he might be able to directly activate the effect of [Destiny Pocket Watch] and return to the time before he entered the second floor.

But this means not being able to see Reiko's body and giving up on the progress of the main quest.

And the moment he sees Reiko's body, he will be "invited" to Reiko's body...

Weird games don't create unsolvable situations. There must be a solution, which he can do now...

The circle formed by the girls was tight and seamless, like a cage that trapped Qis inside.

Qi Si's mind flashed back to the two sentences the girls said at the beginning -

"Everyone must be present. If one person is missing, the Rabbit God will be unhappy and will punish everyone."

"Everyone, keep your voices down. Don't let Teacher Qian hear us and catch us..."

A contract not only means rights, but also carries obligations.

If only one person is missing, the ritual will fail and everyone will be punished...

Qi Si's mind moved slightly, and he called out the [Ghost Driver's Recorder] from the prop bar and turned the volume to maximum.

[My sister and brother went to grandma's house. The children's meat was tender and their bones were crisp. Grandma was drooling with greed...]

[Fearful and praying, I only saw the sea and the drowned souls...]

[Whose daughter is rude and foolish, silly and easy to bear children...]

[Good children don’t want to eat and can only eat dirt, while bad children’s bodies are covered with poisonous mushrooms...]

Ballads of various styles sounded harshly and abruptly, and as Qis used his uncontrolled limbs to randomly press buttons, one song after another came out in a hoarse and mocking voice.

The singing that does not belong to this copy is extremely penetrating at night and can be heard even from several floors away.

After the initial shock, the girls no longer bothered to make a wish and rushed towards Qis like crazy, trying to snatch the recorder from his hand.

Qi Si silently put the recorder back into the props column, took it out when the girls retreated, and then put it back again...

"You can't do this! Be quiet!"

"Damn it, Teacher Qian will hear it!" The girls panicked and scratched Qis' body angrily. Qis didn't feel any pain and continued to do as he pleased.

After all, his body now belongs to Lingzi, and dead people don't feel pain, so it doesn't matter if they are scratched to pieces.

The singing from the tape recorder was high and loud, cutting through the darkness one after another.

A girl knelt down to Qi Si: "Lord Rabbit God, please don't attract Teacher Qian. We won't be so greedy anymore..."

But it was too late.

The creaking sound of bones rubbing against each other came from far away, bringing with it a fishy smell of decay and leaving behind slippery slime like a mollusk.

In the red light, the female dormitory manager crawled over flexibly and quickly on all fours like an amphibian.

Previously, the girls' singing was part of the dungeon mechanism and could not attract the attention of other ghost NPCs, but the sound of the recorder belonged to the players, and it would be impolite if it was not noticed by the NPCs.

The female dormitory manager was furious because she couldn't find Qi Si who went out in the middle of the night on the fourth floor. Now she followed the sound downstairs, thinking she could find the player who didn't follow the rules, but she only saw a group of female students who were also ghosts.

Even if they have become ghosts, school rules and regulations must still be followed. Since the female dormitory manager saw students gathering in the corridor in the middle of the night, she must take action.

As they are both ghosts, students are naturally as afraid of their teachers as ever.

The female students dispersed in a hurry, and Qis felt that the restraints on him seemed to have been lifted a little, and he was able to move.

He was in no hurry to move, and pretended to be dead, as quiet as a mountain, watching the female dormitory manager chasing one of the female students away, while the others ran into their respective dormitories and closed the doors.

In less than half a minute, all the demons and monsters disappeared. Qis stood up slightly, and his soul floated up slowly. After a dizzying spin, it returned to his body again.

Reiko's body fell backwards weakly, hitting the ground with a "bang".

It was already 5:40 in the morning, and there were still 50 minutes before the 6:30 wake-up time required by Hope Middle School, which was enough time to get a lot done.

Qi Si walked out of the dormitory building and headed straight for the teaching building in the thin morning light.

The mezzanine floor of the teaching building was filled with grayish-white fog. Shadowy figures were floating in the thick fog, sometimes far away, sometimes near. Upon closer inspection, nothing could be seen. It was like a strange dream.

The ground was slippery, as if the mist had condensed when it hit the cold cement. Looking closely, one could see that the surface was covered with water droplets that looked like insect eggs, rolling around.

His vision was blocked by fog and confined to a corner. Qi Si walked slowly based on his sense of direction and finally found the stairs.

He climbed up the handrail all the way to the third floor and stopped at the door of the teacher's office.

At this point, the teachers had not yet come to work, so the office was naturally empty, with no voices or blood flowing out.

Qis held the recorder tightly in his left hand, pulled out the thin wire from the bracelet with his right hand, pried open the door lock, turned the door handle, and pushed the door open.

The office was dimly lit without lights on, and the interior layout could only be seen with the morning light slanting in through the window.

Li Fang's desk was placed in the middle of the room. The surface was very tidy, with only the upper left corner containing the homework handed in by the students. There was no corpse lying under the desk, only a faint smell of blood lingering.

Qi Si put the list he had taken out earlier on the pile of homework on the corner of the table, then took out his own homework and put the review in it, thus solving the problem of not being able to hand in the review in person.

He sat down at his desk, opened the drawer, and took out documents to look through.

On the top was a lesson plan book, which was filled with dense writing. Qi Si roughly flipped through it and found that it was full of teaching designs, teaching experience, and multiple solutions to some questions. It can be seen that Li Fang is really responsible.

But the school leaders obviously didn’t think so. They wrote in blood-red handwriting on the back of the lesson plan: [Classes 9 and 10 have been at the bottom of the monthly exams for two consecutive times. Please reflect on yourselves!]

Below the lesson plan book was the class roster. Qi Si learned that classes nine and ten happened to be the "difficult classes" that gathered the students with the worst grades. It would be abnormal if they were not at the bottom.

The school leaders asked Li Fang to teach the worst class and criticized her harshly. It is very likely that there is some personal grudge between them.

Below that are various exercise books, all of which have been completed once, with some questions circled in red pen, apparently indicating that those questions are considered worth doing.

Qi Si took out the test paper from under the table and compared it with the questions. Sure enough, he found the shadows of those questions.

He had heard that some schools, in order to make money, would collude with booksellers and require students to buy a miscellaneous set of teaching materials, which wasted students' money and time.

Some teachers are dissatisfied with this and will resist the pressure and select questions from the teaching aids to make exercise papers themselves, saving students the trouble of purchasing teaching aids.

It seems logical that Li Fang was targeted everywhere because she went against the school leadership. But in this case, what is the difference between this and the ordinary intrigues in reality?
Qi Si continued to search and a newspaper came into his sight.

The date on the newspaper is [July 7st], which is the day before the start of the copy [August 31st].

All the extra parts were cut off, leaving only one piece of news, with the bold title standing out:

"A boy from Hope Middle School committed suicide by jumping off a building, suspected to be due to excessive academic pressure."

The news mentioned that in the past six months, Hope Middle School may have been influenced by the growing trend of focusing only on academic performance, and has changed its previous purpose of happy education and started to strictly manage students.

Many students found it difficult to accept the transition from heaven to hell and became depressed.

The article exaggerates the psychological fragility of middle school students and includes some inspirational quotes on how to relieve stress. Then, whether to meet the word count or for some other reason, it begins to review the background of Hope Middle School.

Qis learned that Hope Middle School has a certain flavor of an aristocratic college, and the students are mainly composed of three aspects: top students with outstanding academic performance are invited in with a large sum of money to improve their grades and serve as a gimmick; wealthy and powerful families are attracted by those gimmicks and spend money to send their children in, hoping that their grades will improve under the influence of the children; and there are also some poor students from orphanages who are used as cornerstones to absorb social charity funds.

It can be said that from the beginning to the end, the Eternal Life Technology Company that invested in Hope Middle School had no good intentions, but only used this school as a tool to make money.

The news report wrote a paragraph at the end: [The reporter learned through interviews and investigations that there are many cases of abnormal deaths among students of Hope Middle School, but because most of them are orphans sponsored by the Eternal Life Technology Company, they have not attracted widespread social attention. We must reflect on whether there is something wrong with our education.]

Qi Si thought of the Rabbit God's wish-making mechanism and wondered whether the dead orphans were sacrificed by the Eternal Life Technology Company to ensure the students' academic performance.

However, with the power of the Rabbit God, can it really influence so many people?
Qi Si pondered for a moment and turned the newspaper over.

There were two photos printed on it: one was a photo of the deceased before his death, and his body shape and facial features were exactly the same as Lu Ming; the other was a screenshot of a surveillance camera, in which a person with the image of Lu Ming was standing on the rooftop of the dormitory building, looking somewhere below with a dark and deep gaze.

Is it Lu Ming or Lu Ming?

Qi Si felt his pulse and felt no pulse; he felt his breath and felt it was cold.

The moment the truth is realized, all the illusions that served as cover-ups disappear.

The truth is clear: the original body, Lu Ming, died before the copy began... (End of this chapter)
