Chapter 11 011. The Chosen Game

Before Qiao Mu had time to savor what those words represented, he saw those lines distorted again, turning into more obvious and deeper words.

【Congratulations on completing the novice task】

[Please choose the god you believe in and get the novice reward]

After these two sentences, the words quickly exploded on the ground like fireworks, turning into five fragments of different shapes.

The top piece looks like bright sunshine and irregular gears. On that piece, inorganic words are engraved with a word.

【brilliant】

The fragment on the upper left is square and square, with a wood-like texture and slightly mottled. Among them, a powerful brushstroke is used.

【Feng Rang】

As his eyes moved, the fragment on the right took on a vortex shape, seeming to absorb all the surrounding light into it. Around it, twisted words swirled.

【long】

In the lower left corner, red fragments like broken gems formed a wall, and on the wall, there were traces left like those carved by a carving knife.

【quiet】

And the last fragment was like a mirror, reflecting the night sky, the street, and Qiao Mu's face, but they were all ambiguous, blurry, and mist-shrouded, and it seemed like these words were written on it with fingers.

【End】

"what is this?"

Qiao Mu felt strange looking at these things.

These fragments have a strong sense of foreignness. If we say that the monsters in the previous [Madhouse] were monsters beyond human imagination.

Then these fragments give people the feeling of "existence that does not belong to this world".

"What do you see?"

Seeing Qiao Mu staring at the ground, Su Hong asked while moving his joints to stand up.

"It lets me choose a god to believe in."

Qiao Mu looked at the fragments, and found that Su Hong didn't seem to be able to see what he saw, so he said the words again, and then touched his chin.

"But I am a firm materialist, can I believe in the truth?"

"cannot."

Hearing Qiao Mu's words, Su Hong was stunned, as if she was choking on an egg yolk. She swallowed before continuing.

"These are said to be gods, but they are actually similar to, um, your profession of playing games. Different gods give you different abilities and gifts. Uh, have you ever played games?"

"Profession."

Qiao Mu chewed on the word.

"For example, [Brilliance], according to the information we can now grasp, this god is more inclined to give the chosen ones the ability to acquire more knowledge, and has additional effects on inorganic objects, machinery, books and the like. We used to have For a colleague who chose [Brilliant], he has the ability to interpret memory from objects, which is quite convenient."

Su Hong explained that this was common sense for the investigators of NHI, but it was valuable information for Qiao Mu who knew nothing.

"And what if he sees something he shouldn't?"

Qiao Mu felt as if he had discovered a bright spot. Since knowledge is pollution in this world, the more you know, the more unfortunate you will be. Isn't this ability to look around casually very dangerous? Maybe you will find a manhole cover on the road and find out what happened once. Something unusual passed by.

"Good question, I'll ask him next time I sweep his grave."

Su Hong didn't hide anything.

"Take me with you."

Qiao Mu patted Su Hong on the shoulder, and pointed to another word.

"What about [Feng Rang]?"

"The gods of [Feng Rang] master the mysteries of life and death, and most of their chosen ones have strong physique, recovery ability, and some abilities related to creatures. We used to have a colleague"

Before Su Hong could finish speaking, Qiao Mu interrupted him.

"This colleague you are talking about, should we visit the grave together during Qingming Festival?"

"Being not."

Su Hong replied solemnly, and then spoke again.

"The ability he acquired is extremely strong recovery ability, even if he is fatally injured, he can recover within a few hours, but unfortunately, he encountered extremely strong meme pollution during a certain mission, and now he thinks he is a A refrigerator, often sticking fingers into the socket and causing electric shock."

"It doesn't seem very happy."

Qiao Mu commented.

"For the rest, let me think about it. The [Eternal] God's Chosen One is more like a magician in the sense that ordinary people recognize. They can control flames, frost, and storms, and some of them can also interfere with the spirit."

Su Hong then continued.

"Why don't you talk about your colleagues?"

Qiao Mu was still knocking on the bowl waiting to hear gossip.

"For the time being, we don't have God's Chosen from [Longevity] as colleagues, because this kind of God's Chosen is relatively strong in combat, and most of them fight alone, unwilling to join the organization, and are more likely to encounter danger and die."

Su Hong seemed to recall something, sighed, and continued to introduce.

"As for [Tranquility], there are quite a few of its chosen ones, and there is no relatively uniform overview of their abilities. We have found that there is a chosen one of [Tranquility] who can grow grass from his body, and there is also a [Tranquility]'s Chosen As long as the chosen one sneezes, his gender will change, which is difficult to define accurately."

"Changing gender sounds like fun."

Qiao Mu was suddenly fascinated, and felt that it would be a good choice to choose [Quiet], he had wanted to try what it was like to be a woman for a long time.

But for safety reasons, he still asked his colleagues about the situation.

"We have [Quiet] colleagues of the Chosen One, but it's definitely not the kind you think."

Su Hong scoffed at Qiao Mu's thoughts, and continued speaking.

"The last one, the chosen gods in [The End] are special, and the number is very small. If there are other chosen gods present to guide them, they will usually not recommend newcomers to choose this god."

Here he pauses.

"Why are there so few?"

Qiao Mu became interested.

He's the kind of person who, if there's a button in front of him that says "Never press it," will press it decisively.

"Because [The End] does not give his god-chosen a specific extraordinary ability, what he gives is a method that can anchor the existence under the abyss such as anomalies with itself, through this method, God's Chosen can borrow the power of those anchored abnormalities to a certain extent."

Su Hong was silent for a moment, then glanced at Qiao Mu who was also silent.

“Why don’t you ask what anchoring means?”

"So what does anchoring mean?"

Although Qiao Mu felt that he had understood, he still decided to satisfy Su Hong.

".I told you, the anomaly in the abyss will drag other objective entities falling into it. Once caught, its depth will decrease, and the depth of the other party will deepen. In the end, the depths of the two will gradually converge. Close and achieve a balance.”

Su Hong spread out her hands and looked at her palm.

"And the God's Chosen One in [The End] can take the initiative to connect with one or several abnormalities, and at the cost of sinking himself, fix those abnormalities in a certain depth. This is anchoring."

"I understand, the Chosen One of [Endgame] uses anomalies to defeat anomalies, and is a substitute messenger."

Qiao Mu clapped his hands. As a member of the Qiao family, he had no resistance to this substitute-like ability. He had decided to choose this no matter what.

"But because of this, the chosen ones of [End Page] still have almost no combat effectiveness after completing the first mission. They must also actively contact anomalies and anchor them at the cost of deepening their own pollution. As time goes by , the depth of the Chosen One in [Endgame] will continue to increase, and will eventually sink completely.”

Su Hong's voice became low.

"Then do you have any colleagues who believe in [the end]? Is he still alive?"

Qiao Mu felt that this colleague's topic was really interesting.

"Have."

Su Hong heard this, thought for a moment, clenched his fist and unclenched it. He took out the coin from his pocket and threw it skillfully.

Guessed wrong again.

He spoke immediately.

"I am that colleague."
