Chapter 197 The So-Called Savior
On the morning of April 6, Qisi finally went out.
The main road in the village is shrouded in white fog all day long. The dry wheat fields and crooked black shadows are looming in the fog. From a distance, it is difficult to tell whether they are scarecrows or human corpses.
The dead man's skin was infected by the wet mist, fermenting out a smell of tattered cloth, which stuck to the floating water droplets and spread throughout the village with the floating mist.
Qisi gave Xu Yao an order to dispose of the body, and then he thought of many possible troubles in the future.
Although Qijia Village is located in a corner and has been consciously ignored by the Public Security Bureau due to its strong folk customs, there is no guarantee that it will not be unlucky enough to encounter a major event such as the census.
In addition, migrant workers returning to their hometowns and regional population disappearances may attract the attention of relevant departments...
Qisi has already controlled two strange things, so he is not afraid of the official They risked heavy casualties to deal with him, but the trouble behind the incident was enough to give him a headache.
Unless...create some trouble in advance for the forces that may cause trouble.
‘I happen to know a few lunatics from the Balance Church, and they will be interested in this kind of thing. ’
Bob's words echoed in his mind. Ziss knew that he had a deep relationship with the Tianping Church. With the huge capital of "extradition", he might not be able to achieve appropriate cooperation with them.
When I accumulate some means of self-protection, I might try to contact them.
Qisi was thinking endlessly. He had already arrived at the entrance of the village and stopped in front of a wall covered with various collection notes and phone numbers scrawled in red pen.
He stuffed the glass tube in his hand into the hole in the wall, and then walked to the village hospital with vain steps.
……
During this time, the game forum was not peaceful.
Posts about large-scale quarrels were refreshed in real time on the homepage, occupying half of the hot list. And the titles of all the posts mentioned a person, or a glittering name -
Fu Jue.
The cause of the incident was that Fu Jue entered a copy called "Mountain God Festival". There were eleven players in total. In addition to Fu Jue, there was also a female player named "Meng Jian Shuang" who was also on the list. characters.
Meng Jianshuang is a senior member of Fengyu Guild. This small guild has recently been discussing cooperation with Jiuzhou, and the relationship is considered good.
The dungeon runs in two parallel lines. Meng Jianshuang is trapped alone in the mountain god statue in the cave, while the other ten people are in the village at the foot of the mountain, shouldering the main task of [participating in the mountain god festival].
The terrifying ghosts in the mountain village gradually revive as time goes by. Players can only gain the strength to compete with the ghosts by collecting incense and sacrifices to worship the mountain gods.
But gradually, the players discovered that the more times they worshiped the mountain god, the stronger the mountain god statue trapped Meng Jianshuang was. Lime and soil gradually seeped into Meng Jianshuang’s skin. On the third day, By that time, Meng Jianshuang's limbs had grown into the mountain god statue.
At that time, Fu Jue entered the cave alone and tried to bring Meng Jianshuang out, but to no avail.
The talismans and seal scripts left in the cave tell the player that in order to unlock the seal of the mountain god statue, half of the player's blood is needed. The risk of taking blood is unknown. Nothing may happen, or it may lead to death. A life for a life.
At the same time, everyone understands that although unlocking the seal can save Meng Jianshuang, it will also cause hundreds of ghosts to walk at night in the mountain village, putting all players into uncontrollable danger.
Fu Jue will broadcast live every time he clears a new dungeon, so more than 10,000 players watched the scene.
Fu Jue stood in front of the statue and calmly told Meng Jianshuang in the statue all the pros and cons of the matter, and finally asked her: "Do you want to live?"
Meng Jianshuang asked: "If I said I wanted to live, would you take so many risks to save me?"
Fu Jue said: "I will try."
After a long silence, Meng Jianshuang smiled: "In order to save me, I put all of you in danger, which seems very selfish of me... You are the player who has the most hope of clearing the final dungeon, so there is no need to gamble for me. Life; don’t you often say that temporary death is nothing?”
Fu Jue asked: “So what is your choice?”
“You go and leave me alone. "Meng Jianshuang said.
Fu Jue said: "Okay."
He turned and left, took two steps, and suddenly a woman's plea to suppress her sorrow came from behind: "Chief, you will definitely pass the final dungeon on our behalf. , resurrecting all the dead, right?”
Fu Jue paused and said, "Yes."
He never looked back from the beginning to the end.
After that, the players prepared sacrifices according to the original plan, and held a grand sacrifice on the seventh day to drive away the evil spirits in the village.
At the end of the sacrifice, Meng Jianshuang completely merged with the statue and declared his death.
Sacrificing a few to fulfill the majority is an eternal choice, but the long-suppressed undercurrent takes this as an opportunity to make waves.
The trigger was a post:
#Watching Fu Jue’s latest live broadcast, I was suddenly very disappointed with him#
[1st Floor (Owner): I don’t know if this post can survive How long, if I am banned, it will prove that this forum has become the forum of Jiuzhou Guild - I hope it is just my conspiracy theory.
I entered the game in April last year. Like many newcomers, I developed a crush on Fu Jue amid the overwhelming publicity on the forum, and often followed his live broadcasts and videos.
"God Fu", "Chief", "The player most likely to clear the final copy"... Anyone who looks at these titles will be bluffed. Like many people, I stupidly shouted slogans for the unity of all mankind, and fanatically pursued Fu Jue and the Kyushu Guild he represented like a star-chasing fan.
But now I feel like I've been fooled. Is Fu Jue really qualified to be regarded as a "savior"? Yes, he is indeed the number one player in the overall strength list, but after all, he is a person with his own selfish desires, not a just and selfless god. Does he really put the lives of other people in his eyes?
It is undeniable that Fu Jue has saved many people and has always insisted on broadcasting and sharing information. He is more aboveboard than many people. But with all due respect, I think he was putting on a show from beginning to end, wearing a mask of kindness and justice, building himself up as a flawless saint, tricking us into believing in him like a god and being used by him.
I actually expected Fu to give up Meng Jianshuang. He is just a hypocritical careerist who has never had the consciousness of self-sacrifice. Now he can no longer pretend anymore and his true colors are revealed, allowing us to see that he is just a selfish, duplicitous and hypocritical villain. @FuJue, I hope the aloof chief can condescend to take a look at public opinion. I'm curious how you will explain this time and how you will end it. 】
The narration of the post was rational and neutral without distorting the true feelings. Later, it was @Fu Jue himself, conveying a tough attitude, and soon attracted a group of supporters.
[I have long felt that Fu Jue gave me a strange feeling. Today, after hearing what the poster said, I finally understand where the blame lies. Everyone has his own selfish interests, but Fu Jue seems to be selfless. I don’t believe him if he doesn’t have other agendas! 】
【The original poster said everything I wanted to say! If you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight. Fu Jue has been called the savior for so many years, but he can't even save a single person. I can finally see him clearly. 】
【It's so pitiful to be blinded by frost. Who doesn’t want to live? He probably knew that Fu Jue had started a live broadcast, so he was kidnapped by morality and gave up his survival for the sake of the guild's reputation. To be honest, the Jiuzhou Guild is not a good person. They keep saying that they will try their best to save people, and they also draw a pie saying "resurrection of everyone after clearing the final dungeon". Who knows whether it is true or false? 】
Of course, those who defend Fu Jue are still very vocal.
【The essay is really well written. I would like to ask the author how many people he has helped since he entered the game? Fu Shen tries his best to keep more people alive in every dungeon. In the last dungeon, he even cut off half of his body to save people. Does a good person deserve to be pointed at a gun? 】
[I couldn’t stand it as I passed by. Do you really understand the situation at that time? What would you do if you were Fu Jue? Could it be that in order to save a Meng Jianshuang, ten people who could have passed the level smoothly died together? 】
【I laughed, Fu Shen was originally the "chief" certified by the game. If he didn't care about any of you, he would have realized his wish and left the game long ago. Has he received any benefit from being regarded as your "savior"? You are just using this name to kidnap him and make him keep saving people and getting hurt! 】
The two parties insisted on their own opinions and started to quarrel. One post was not enough, and more quarrel posts popped up like mushrooms after rain.
There are many people among them who are happy to watch the fun and not take it too seriously. Posts are floating around, fishing in troubled waters:
[Why doesn’t Fu Jue respond? If he doesn't clarify it, I will rebel. When the time comes, call me and I'll be the first to vote! 】
[You are all so brave. You are going to die under your real name. Aren’t you afraid of being assassinated? It would be fun if I met him in a copy. 】
[I bet a dime that the poster’s account will be cool tomorrow~]
As public opinion fermented, the fire naturally burned on the Kyushu Guild.
A small number of players began to accuse the Kyushu Guild of hypocrisy in its purpose, accusing them of acting as the world's police and morally kidnapping others.
One player wrote indignantly:
[We are all equally involved in this strange catastrophe. What qualifications do you have to formulate model regulations and codes of conduct? 】
【We all want to live. What’s wrong with the law of the jungle when survival cannot be guaranteed? Why do you ask us to sacrifice? If you can't even sacrifice yourself to feed an eagle, what qualifications do you have to judge us? 】
【This vicious moral kidnapping has lasted for more than 20 years, and countless colleagues have suffered greatly. The perpetrator stood in the light and could not see his face clearly, but his name was known to everyone——]
[Kyuzhou. 】
Perhaps from the very beginning, this storm against Fu Jue was directed at the Kyushu Guild.
Those weak neighs suppressed into the shadows by high-sounding ideals, and those inner desires bound by conventional morality, accumulated day after day, finally merged into an extraordinary torrent, broke through the blockade, and reached the stage.
While Qisi was waiting in the waiting room of the hospital for his number to be called, he watched Fu Jue and the excitement of the Jiuzhou Guild from beginning to end with great interest.
"Sure enough, a spark of light in a dark ditch has always been praised by people, but a stain on a white curtain can only make people disgusted."
"After the devil climbed out of hell Even if he can wreak havoc in the world, the savior can only be nailed to the cross after he falls from the altar - should we really say that 'good people don't live long'?"
Chisi thought with gloating, feeling really good. , he took out a chili powder flavored mint candy and handed it to the little girl in red sitting next to him.
The little girl held up her severed head with both hands, opened her mouth to hold the mint, and burst into tears a second later.
Blood dripped from the corners of her eyes. As she cried, she stretched out her hands that suddenly grew sharp nails and grabbed Qiss.
Qisi shook his right hand, revealing the cursed pendulum wrapped around his wrist and intertwined with the special bracelet, and swung the pendulum toward the girl's face.
The girl suddenly stopped, her figure fluttered twice and faded away. Five seconds later, she solidified at the end of the corridor, her eyes full of fear.
Since bringing the cursed pendulum to reality, Zis found that he could see ghosts in his normal state again, without the need for rituals or waiting for his soul to lose weight and become ill.
Maybe "hell" is a kind of "curse", who knows?
But for Ziss, it was quite pleasant to reunite with his "old friends" after a long absence. At least he no longer had to worry about being bored in the future.
The call sounded at the right time: "Please come to Clinic No. 4, No. 16, Qisi."
Qisi stood up and pulled his sleeves down to cover the thin chains on his wrists. .
The blood-red pendulum hangs from the cuff, swaying faintly, like some kind of weird bracelet.
Qisi smiled at the girl at the end of the corridor, turned around and walked into Clinic No. 4.
The little girl who had been a ghost for many years stared blankly at the young man's back, seeing strange tentacles rolling in the black mist surrounding her, and scarlet eyes opening and closing one after another.
As the young man moved forward, he was surrounded by gray fog and ghosts.
The fog is sometimes thick and sometimes light, like breathing.
Thanks to Qi Zhining for the 500-point reward!
