After sneaking into the administration building late at night and learning the conspiracy of Yongsheng Technology Company and the secrets of Usagiami Town, Lu Ming, who was still a human, began to think - how to save Reiko from the sacrifice?
During that half year, due to the high orphan mortality rate, Yongsheng Technology Company was investigated by the government and almost stopped all sacrifices.
The students did not know where they learned the legend of the Rabbit God, and they privately killed their classmates without any background in an attempt to please the Rabbit God and fulfill their own wishes.
Lu Ming was aware of the danger in his and Lingzi's situation. He appeared at Hope Middle School as an orphan and was destined to die as a victim.
In his opinion, instead of two people dying together in vain, it is better to join the game with one's own body so that one person can live.
So one night late at night, he went to the lakeside and played the bamboo cage game all night with the Rabbit God that Kannashichiro had become. Under the witness of the rules, he offered to sacrifice himself in exchange for Reiko's wish to live.
But he did not expect that Reiko had the same idea as him and made a wish to the Rabbit God, hoping to exchange her life for his well-being.
So in a bamboo cage game organized by the students, Reiko lured away the boys and girls who came to look for Lu Ming, and quietly replaced him as the "ghost" in the game.
Lingzi died and was thrown into the lake by the students who killed her. The strongest wish in her heart before she died was that Lu Ming would live - such a wish must be realized.
Lu Ming had no idea at the time and waited for Lingzi to go to the cafeteria as usual that evening, but until the evening self-study began, he still could not wait for the girl.
He searched and searched throughout the school, almost in every corner of the teaching building and dormitory building, but could not find any trace of the girl.
He already had a bad premonition and learned about Reiko's death from Li Fang one afternoon.
A plan formed in his heart...
"After a game of bamboo cages, you killed yourself, thus completing the sacrifice to the Rabbit God; according to The original rules, he not only violated Reiko's contract to let you live, but also violated your contract to let Reiko live. He made a promise to go down, and suffered backlash because of it.”
Qisi lowered his eyes and sighed: “The only way He can resurrect you and Reiko is to resurrect you together, because as long as one of you dies, the other one will easily die. You can coerce Him through self-sacrifice
"But it is a pity that with his remaining divine power, he cannot resurrect two people at the same time. And your death has exposed Hope Middle School to the public eye. The sacrifice will be unsustainable. If the divine power cannot be replenished, it will be a dead end."< br>
Belief is poisonous. Gods are high and enjoy the offerings of believers, but the incense and sacrifices they eat have become a kind of responsibility and restraint.
Just like a soul contract, in addition to collecting the soul leaves of the other party, you must also fulfill your promise to the other party; after the contract is signed, no entity may refuse to perform its contractual obligations.
What happened to the Rabbit God made Qisi not be vigilant, and he made up his mind to use the contract authority more carefully in the future.
“It’s not a dead end.” Lu Ming shook his head, “He was too greedy and thought he could collect the sacrifices of two people at the same time, but he never thought that I would trade with another god.
"After my death, a paradox formed, and he was trapped in the fate of Reiko and I. I made the game "Escape from Usagiami Town" to place him.
"As long as he can stay in Usagiami Town If I let Reiko's soul go in time and space, and resurrect Reiko, I will take the initiative to end all this. ”
The Rabbit God was the first to accept Reiko’s sacrifice, so Reiko’s soul has been taken into his possession, leaving only a body in Hope Middle School.
In Lu Ming After trapping him in the game "Escape from Usagi Kamachi", Reiko's soul was also trapped in the game. In the play, she transforms into Reiko Edo, who is friends with Shichiro Kanna.
The reason why the background of the game is different from the real history is not because of Lu Ming’s random editing, but because of Reiko’s. The soul is the sacrifice that the current Rabbit God is destined to obtain.
Therefore, Kanna Shichiro cannot be selected, and the one who is selected must be Reiko.
Correspondingly, the head of Kanna family cannot be selected, but needs to survive and bear the mission of telling Kanna Shichiro the secret so that he will no longer be pious.
On the other hand, the Rabbit God only needs to give up accepting Edo Reiko's sacrifice, and Reiko will be saved, but that means "Kanna Shichiro" will be selected.
The Rabbit God at this time is actually Kanna Shichiro, who seized the Rabbit God's power hundreds of years ago; Kanna Shichiro at this time is the player who was teleported into the game "Escape from Usagi God Town" by Lu Ming.
If the player plays Kanna Shichiro is selected, he will gain the power of the Rabbit God and become the new Rabbit God according to the established history hundreds of years ago.
Compared with losing his divine power, it is obvious that the Rabbit God transformed by Kannashichiro would rather lose his freedom and continue to work with Lu Ming.
At this point, the fate of the two people and one god has become inseparable.
Lu Ming said: "He cannot leave Rabbit God Town, but the overflowing divine power can interfere with Hope Middle School. He made Reiko die in reincarnation again and again, hoping to scare me into giving up.
" But God told me that Reiko would not have the memory of death. I would bear the pain alone, and no matter how many cycles I went through, it would not be worth fearing. ”
The clues reached a closed loop, and Qis finally understood the original intention of this copy.
The "rabbit" in "Beware of the Rabbit" should originally refer to the "Rabbit God" and Kanna Shichiro who was treated as a victim.
When the main mission was refreshed, the narration made it very clear:
‘The girl’s ending has been written by the gods, and no matter how many times she repeats the reincarnation, she will never get out of the seven-day infinite loop. ’
‘She is destined to die, and will suffer more and more. No one can change her fate, but some people overestimate their ability to restart the world. ’
‘Let the pain and sorrow end as soon as possible. Please find her body within seven days and let the dying people trapped in the cycle rest in peace. ’
Lingzi is a destined sacrifice and must die as written. Lu Ming can live according to Lingzi's wish - this is a plan acceptable to the Rabbit God.
However, Lu Ming was unwilling and used paradox to trap the Rabbit God in the game "Escape from Rabbit God Town", stubbornly starting reincarnations again and again.
What the player needs to do is to dispel Lu Ming's delusions, end the infinite loop of copies, and rescue the trapped Rabbit God.
Unfortunately, Qi and Li Heng intervened and added an optional main task for players, which is to find a new clearance route in the game and save Reiko.
And Qisi hates rescue missions, no matter whether the other party is Reiko or the Rabbit God.
"If that's what you said, things may be in trouble." Qisi touched his chin, "You said that Edo Reiko in "Escape from Usagi Kamachi" is Reiko's soul; I remember that I seemed to kill her conveniently. "
He suddenly understood Lu Ming's anger when he found out that he had killed Edo Reiko.
From Lu Ming's perspective, the situation at that time was probably that all plans were ruined, and there was no room for change, and he even wanted to kill him.
Later, for some reason, he calmed down, gave up strangling him directly, and communicated with him calmly.
"No, she is still alive." Lu Ming lowered his eyes and looked at Qisi's right pocket, "I originally thought you killed her, but I soon felt that her soul reappeared. ”
Qisi put his hand into his pocket, touched the soft coolness, and subconsciously pulled out the contents.
It was a bright red prayer belt with Juanxiu’s handwriting written in gold:
[I want to be with Xiaoqi. Reiko】
This is Reiko's prayer tape. When Qisi was writing his own prayer tape, he happened to see it and pulled it off.
In the mountain forest outside Usagiami Town, Reiko was fascinated by a ghost. He used this prayer belt to arouse Reiko's inner desire and sign a contract with her.
[Name: Reiko’s Prayer Belt]
[Type: Prop]
[Effect:? ? ? 】
【Remarks:? ? ? 】
Silver-white prompt text appeared in front of my eyes. I don’t know when the ordinary prayer belt had the potential to become a prop.
After being held by Qiss for a while, the blood-colored prayer tape became slightly hot, the kind of temperature that releases light and heat but does not burn the holder.
At the bottom of the Hall of Thought, a bright red leaf was re-condensed and belonged to Reiko. Qisi remembered what he said to Reiko at that time -
'You said you wanted to be with me, so may I ask, are you willing to believe in me and follow me forever? ’
This undoubtedly constitutes a contract. The four words “always follow” make Reiko’s soul attached to the prayer belt and turned into a prop.
This was the first time that Zis encountered such an out-of-control situation since he became an official player and used the Soul Contract skill.
Although this time it did not lead to bad results and even developed in a good direction, he was still cold in his heart.
The closer you get to the level of a god and the more secrets you learn about the first level of a god, the more you realize that there are many dangers in the net of rules. If you are not careful, you will fall into a situation where you are at the mercy of others. .
No wonder Li agreed so simply when he proposed to replace Qi...
But even Li was eliminated by Qi and Fu Jue's conspiracy...
"I understand." Qisi's expression did not change, and he asked knowingly, "Does it just require me to inherit the power of the Rabbit God at the Rabbit God Festival as Kanna Shichiro, and then return to Hope Middle School to resurrect Reiko, and everything will be over? "?"
"Yes. Thank you." A stiff and pale smile appeared on Lu Ming's gray face as a sign of gratitude to Chis.
His shadow gradually faded away like an ink painting soaked in water, disappearing into the dark background. Only Qisi was left in the room.
The barrage in the live broadcast room went crazy.
“So this is what the copy of “Careful Rabbit” is all about! I feel like I have cleared a fake “Careful Rabbit”...”
"Should I be called a boss? A seemingly ordinary puzzle-solving dungeon, and Si Qi has come face to face with a god-level existence! If the unnamed guild continues to develop, it feels like it is expected to compete with the Kyushu guild."< br>
"Please stop talking about the nonsense upstairs. Is the Rabbit God considered a god? He just looks like a high-level NPC with a louder name. He can punch such a weird god every time."
“ Woohoo... I'm so touched... Lu Ming risked his own life for Lingzi, and even used his mortal body to plan for the gods. It turns out that the copy of "Beware of the Rabbit" is such a story..."
"You guys continue chatting. I'll go back to the forum and write a strategy first. I wonder if I can get a starting spot."
Qisi looked at the audience sentiment pie chart in the upper left corner of his vision that kept flashing, and remembered that the live broadcast was still No problem.
Under the prophecy that "faith is poisonous", he successfully lost interest in spreading his name. At present, the attitude that should be conveyed has almost been conveyed, and it would be redundant to start a live broadcast.
Qisi raised his eyes and glanced at the ceiling, and said word by word in his heart: "Weird game, close my live broadcast room."
The players of Sunset Ruins only saw The screen of the live broadcast room titled "Si Qi" went black for one second. A line of pale text was typed on it:
[Player Si Qi has turned off the live broadcast]
“What’s the situation? We are reaching a critical point, how do you say that the live broadcast is turned off? The unnamed guild does not cover it. After-sales service? ”
"Refund! I just bet 10,000 points on his TE pass. Don't let him blackmail my points with all his tricks..."
"It's over, it's a single player copy. , the route for the later stage is almost determined, what other tricks can be played?”
The barrage discussion became sparse after a while, and many players silently paid attention to Qisi’s live broadcast room, anxiously waiting for the copy. ending.
At the unnamed guild base, Lin Chen was sitting in the office, watching the screen in the live broadcast room go black, with a worried look on his face.
Clearing the copy of "Beware the Rabbit" seemed to be a foregone conclusion at first glance, but he always felt that things were not that simple.
That was an existence at the level of gods. Although Ziss was experienced and had sat at the negotiating table with gods, but in this dungeon where most props were banned, could he really save the day like before?
According to the existing information, it will be a sure thing that Shichiro Kanna, played by Zeiss, will inherit the power of the Rabbit God during the Rabbit God Festival on August 7th.
The Rabbit God transformed by Kanna Shichiro will definitely try his best to kill Qisi before that, in order to preserve his status and authority...
Qisi is afraid that there will be another one A tough battle is about to be fought. The live broadcast is turned off at this time, probably to prevent others from seeing his weak and embarrassed side...
Lin Chen clenched his fists and once again tried to contact Qisi through the soul blade. As before, no response was received.
He smiled bitterly and sighed: If he had not set his real name as his display nickname, he might be able to team up with Zeiss and enter the dungeon now, and he would not have to worry about watching from the outside...
...
Qisi rejected all the news and was happy and pure.
He knew that at this time, he was already a thorn in the side of the Rabbit God. The young dragon-slaying boy in Kannashichiro 1.0 eventually turned into an evil dragon. If it were not for the restraint of faith, he would probably want to kill the Kannashichiro 2.0 he played right away. .
The more troublesome thing is that although he cannot understand the low-efficiency and worthless behavior of Lu Ming and Lingzi who sacrifice themselves for each other, and he has no good intentions to help these two good people get good rewards, he does have a deep understanding of the Rabbit God's magical power. It is inevitable to win.
Since the contradiction between the two cannot be bridged, we can only let nature take its course.
Qisi rummaged through another drawer of his desk and found Li Fang’s death notice.
Li Fang died before Lu Ming died. Calculating the time, it should be shortly after revealing the cause of Lingzi's death to Lu Ming.
Although the death notice stated that he died unexpectedly, the real cause was most likely silenced by Yongsheng Technology Company.
Qisi almost understands why Li Fang and Lingzi are important NPCs who can refresh the prompt text.
It's just because they all died and their souls were left in the consciousness space by Lu Ming.
There are very few souls in this dungeon world. Only Lu Ming, Rabbit God, Lingzi and Li Fang are real. The other NPCs are probably replicas built by Lu Ming based on his memory.
"It's boring. Even if you become a ghost, you haven't even thought about killing the entire school and locking them together in their own world to play battle royale?"
Qisi Zi Shaking his head in boredom, he reached into the bottom of the drawer and pulled out a yellowed booklet, which he read was a book of ghost stories circulated privately by middle school students.
There is a note on the cover, to the effect that it was confiscated from a student from a well-off family. When the student finishes the exam on August 3rd and submits a review, the property will be returned to its original owner.
Qisi opened the book and saw scrawled writing on the middle page:
[Bamboo cage eyes, bamboo cage eyes, when will the birds in the cage be released to fly? 】
【In the early hours of the night, a crane and a turtle fell down, and the child behind asked who it was? 】
[Legend has it that as long as you recite the above songs and complete the bamboo cage eye game, the Rabbit God can grant a wish. 】
For the Bamboo Cage Eye game to spread among students, a channel is always needed; and for students of this age, the only channels they can access are various brochures.
Zeiss tore off the page, picked up the ballpoint pen on his desk, and wrote new content:
[The Scarlet Lord who walks through infinite time and space. 】
【The new soul master who holds the power of the contract. 】
【The only existence that shuttles between reality and illusion. 】
[Legend has it that as long as you chant the above names of gods by the lake, you can make the Rabbit God fulfill any wish. 】
Although he is aware of the hidden dangers of faith and contractual authority, Qiss does not intend to give up food because of choking. The risks and benefits are equal. He has always liked to gamble and make big gains with small things.
Even if he couldn't get more souls in this copy, he was still very interested in trying to get between Lu Ming and the Rabbit God.
What's more, after reciting his three lines of God's name, and then going to the Rabbit God to fulfill his wish, what's the problem?
The soul blade belongs to him, and the responsibilities and obligations belong to the Rabbit God. The division of labor is so clear and the organization is so clear.
The Rabbit God far away in Rabbit God Town: ...6. (End of chapter)
