Cheng Ping took the Poseidon Scepter and left, but Qisi was still nailed to the wall with the scalpel.
After the number of uses exceeds the limit, the [Soul Contract] skill enters a blocked state and cannot be used.
In other words, the deal between Qisi and Dean was entirely based on a verbal agreement and could be torn up by one of the parties at any time.
It is conceivable that without strong binding force and the benefits are considerable enough, breach of contract is an inevitable result.
After Qisi gave Lin Chen an order to bring the statue of the Holy Child to the Blue Frog Hospital, he continued to lean on it helplessly.
Cheng Xiaoyu squatted beside him with eager eyes, consciously assuming the responsibility of guarding.
As time passed by, Cheng Xiaoyu felt restless, as if something bad was about to happen, but he didn't know how it would happen.
The sound of "ta-ta-ta" footsteps came from the thick fog outside the gate, clear and ethereal, like the impact of high heels on the tiles.
A hazy figure silhouetted itself in the fog, getting closer and closer.
Cheng Xiaoyu suddenly let out a scream, which dispersed into a few wisps of light black smoke and penetrated into the cracks in the wall. Qisi's sight was unobstructed and connected with the figure behind the iron door.
It was a woman wearing a black suit and gold-rimmed glasses, with a pair of particularly eye-catching light gray eyes.
She crossed the threshold, stood in front of Qisi, and nodded gently: "Long time no see, Qisi."
......
Green Frog Hospital, Lin Chen Standing by the pond, I did not see the body of the female teacher.
He had some ominous premonitions and was about to tell Qiss when he received an order for him to go to Blue Frog Hospital.
Compared with the two, the mission is more important. As long as the main mission is completed, even if the level is cleared, you will not be harmed by the copy for the next three minutes.
Lin Chen hugged the baby stone statue, stepped into the pond, waded through the cold water, and walked step by step towards the whirlpool in the center.
The moment I stepped into the whirlpool with my front feet, I felt dizzy and overwhelmed. The whole world was crumpled into a ball before my eyes, then stretched and turned over again.
My vision soon settled down again, and the surrounding environment was very different from what I saw before the dizziness.
The only difference is that on the empty white stone platform in front of you, there is an equally white statue of the Virgin sitting.
The statue with a beautiful face looked at Lin Chen calmly and solemnly, as if seeing all things in the world through him, giving love and care to all creations equally.
Lin Chen felt like he was soaked in a warm touch, and the great attraction led him forward step by step.
He stood in front of the statue of the Virgin, holding the statue of the Son devoutly with his raised hands, and placed it gently in the empty arms of the Virgin.
The blood droplets in the corner of the Virgin's eyes turned into a drop of tear, which fell on the water of the pool with a soft "tap" sound. In an instant, the dense bloodshot eyes bloomed like an explosion.
[Main mission completed]
[Congratulations to the player for passing the level...]
The subsequent bytes were blatantly truncated. After two seconds of lag, a large area of bloody garbled code was refreshed crazily, occupying the space of the system interface.
Two clouds of black smoke met overhead, the illusion of peace and tranquility was torn apart, the sky was painted into a uniform blackness, and there were noisy, harsh, frightening, and desperate murmurs.
The bloody rain poured down, splashing blood mist on the ground.
Lin Chen reflexively summoned the [Umbrella Full of Pain], opened it in a second, and blocked it above his head.
The black umbrella, which was cooling down, was used as a simple rain gear to protect against the wind and rain. After the umbrella surface came into contact with the blood rain, the umbrella handle and the umbrella trembled uncontrollably.
The arms were driven to resonate, and Lin Chen woke up from a dream, took a small step back, and stepped into the vortex.
When I opened my eyes again, I returned to the Green Frog Hospital. There was only an empty stone platform in front of me.
The situation is still not optimistic, and the sky at Green Frog Hospital is also pitch black.
In the steaming forest mist, black shadows were approaching step by step. It was impossible to tell whether they were ghosts or NPCs.
...
[Main Mission Completed]
In Blue Frog Hospital, Qisi raised his head and looked at the woman with a half-smile: "Are you not dead? I thought the effect of Lin Chen's prop was It can be regarded as a causal weapon. "
"I am already dead, or I have never lived." The woman said patiently, "But in the weird game, life and death are treated as a single state. Narrow, just like you now, you can't tell whether it's life or death."
"Quantum superposition state?" Qis asked.
The woman shook her head and nodded: "Individual mobility and status are often separated. I think you who have experienced a copy of "Rose Manor" can understand this."
"I can enter the weird Games have nothing to do with Xiela, right?"
"I know more about you than you think, but you can rest assured that the gods under the watchful eye of the rules will do their best. To ensure the fairness of the bet."
Chis smiled: "I don't think there is anything fair about this bet."
"They need fairness in the overall situation." The woman took out the scalpel nailed to Qisi's right shoulder and stabbed it into his right palm with her backhand.
"I can hurt you, but if I kill you, you won't really die. Because I am the dead at this time, and the ability to still act as a dead comes from a cheat by a certain god.
"As long as it does not affect the fate of the 'chess pieces', they will not end. And once I use the ability gained from cheating to sweep the 'chess pieces' off the chessboard, they will pick up the 'chess pieces' again and place them back in their original positions. ”
This is undoubtedly some kind of game rule that is above the weird game. It has always existed, but it was not until this moment that Qisi clarified the details and connected the various questions in the past.
No wonder, In the copy of "Hopeless Sea", the "Puppet Master" did not kill him further after discovering that he was out of control, because he knew that it would be of no use other than exposing his cards.
Lu Li, Hans, and Ye Linsheng. The puppet has been scrapped, and other methods are most likely not allowed by the game. Even if it can temporarily kill Qiss, it will not prevent the god Qiss from re-entering the chess game.
No wonder Chang Xu was stabbed so many times by Poseidon's scepter, but he still didn't die, because his death was the butterfly effect caused by cheating.
If Qi did not hand over the [Evil God Finger Bone] to Qi Si in advance, Qi Si would not be able to escape the control of the puppet master and would not have the chance to kill Chang Xu; as for the puppet master himself, there is a high probability that Qi Si would remain Xia Changxu used it for other purposes...
Qisi tilted his head and thought for a while, then asked: "Why are you telling me this?"
The woman said: "The puppet master hopes to be with You cooperate.”
“Based on the current strength comparison, is it cooperation or unilateral use?”
"Xila's definition of cooperation is mutual use."
...
Cheng Ping walked to the pond and raised the Poseidon scepter held in his right hand high.
The black smoke in the sky seemed to have finally found its home, rushing towards Cheng Ping, and was absorbed by the white scepter in his hand at a very close distance.
The tentacle-like black strokes of the evil god are outlined one by one starting from the top of the scepter. The sins all over the sky are solidified into patterned ink, embellishing the dilapidated scepter with its former majesty.
The black clouds above the head became thinner at a speed visible to the naked eye, and were washed away in a few seconds until they were as blue as blue, without a trace of smoke remaining.
All sins were swallowed by Poseidon's scepter, and finally ten strokes were written on the top, drawing the prototype of a surging wave.
[Sin... Poseidon's scepter absorbed sin... plenty of sin...]
Cheng Ping heard satisfied murmurs, like moans of pleasure after eating and drinking.
He also felt joy from the bottom of his heart.
This thing is indeed useful. The crime that originally seemed to him to be extremely difficult was solved so easily. He can be more bold in doing things in the future, and no longer has to be so constrained as when preparing for this ceremony. Yes, Cheng Ping had no intention of returning the Poseidon Scepter to Qis.
Without coercive restraint, the owner has been controlled and has no ability to resist. In this case, whoever returns the property to its original owner is a fool!
Cheng Ping held the Poseidon's scepter tightly, feeling the pulsing of life under his palm, and a huge smile spread from ear to ear in ecstasy on his face.
In a trance, he seemed to see the shadow of a huge golden eye, staring at him through the yellow clouds and the gilded ocean, calmly blending with his soul.
Is this God? Is he... going to become a god?
The phantom of the tentacle stretched out from the Poseidon's scepter without warning, wrapped around Cheng Ping's arms and neck, penetrated into the blood vessels without any resistance, and crawled between the various meridians.
The intense pain shatters dreams and arouses biological instincts of fear and despair.
It’s seizing the body!
Cheng Ping finally sensed the danger, but it was too late.
Most of the body was occupied by the irrational evil god, and the human soul turned into powder at the moment of collision.
[Rules...pollution...sacrifice...]
[Sin...eating...nightmare...]
The god who regained his body instinctively issued an Whispering that can drive ordinary creatures crazy, the legs in human form melted, and countless tentacles extended in all directions like blooming flowers, timidly touching and exploring unfamiliar environments.
A tentacle touched the complete statue of the Virgin holding a baby in the center of the pond. It withdrew a little as if it was electrocuted, and then tentatively wrapped around it, greeting and feeling uncertainly.
He got a response, and the memory from the source will not misjudge.
He was like a child who finally saw his mother. Every arm, foot and sucker conveyed the joy of reunion after a long separation.
[The Lord of Life who is the original incarnation of the World Tree]
[The Lord of Death who is in charge of creation and annihilation]
[The holy existence that breeds wind and rain in the sea, land, air, and sky]
...
"Did you see or hear anything?" The woman's light gray eyes looked at Qiss calmly.
"I saw a string of unfamiliar three-line names of gods." Qiss said, "Do you need me to repeat it to you?"
"No need." The woman shook her head, "He is To be truly annihilated”
……
Beside the pond, a figure in black clothes and black hair descended silently in the shadows of the forest. His golden eyes glanced at Cheng Ping, who had lost his human form, and finally landed on the statue of the Virgin holding a baby in the center of the pond.
The blood rain falling from the sky dyed the pond water red, and the rain lines like bead curtains covered the statue with gauze.
Countless pairs of milky-white arms sprouted from the back of the statue, waving irregularly like sea anemones, sprinkling droplets of white water around.
The water drops that fell to the ground grew rapidly and turned into various strange monsters. Some were a bunch of knotted tentacles, and some were balls covered with fine teeth.
"Li."
The wind echoing between heaven and earth calmly called out the name of the person who came out.
Li turned a deaf ear and walked towards Cheng Ping expressionlessly. He raised his left hand and grabbed forward, forcefully pulling out a shadow from Cheng Ping's body.
The upper body of the ghost has three fish heads, and the lower body is covered with dense tentacles. It is the sea god depicted in the statue in the copy of "Hopeless Sea"!
"I planted an anchor in your spirit body, and you were indeed called here by Him." Li stretched out his right hand, holding the Poseidon's scepter, and pointed towards the statue of the Virgin holding a baby in the center of the pond. Go.
Poseidon was restrained by Li with one hand, twisting his body unwillingly, his tentacles whipping and twisting Li's body randomly, but all the attacks seemed to fall into vain, without causing any harm, not even Can stop Li's footsteps.
Li stepped into the pond and placed his toes firmly on the blood-colored water.
The evil god who descended on the stone statue seemed to have finally noticed his visit. Countless slits appeared on his forehead, and pure black and pure white eyes were arranged staggeredly, staring straight at the uninvited guest.
The rain of blood kept falling, and the newly born monsters at the foot of the stone statue rushed towards Li, but were swept to the ground by invisible force a few steps away.
The white arms followed closely, wrapping around Li's neck more flexibly than a ribbon, but stopped a few centimeters away.
In the void near the stone statue, thousands of creatures cried in unison.
He realized that the lack of power after his resurrection was not a matter of the number of sacrifices, but the quality of the sacrifices, which made the source of his divine power mixed.
He began to investigate the one thousand and one corpses that were thrown into the pond.
Female corpse, female corpse, pregnant woman corpse that symbolizes life and death at the same time...Male corpse...
Yes, among the one thousand and one corpses, three of them are male corpses, and they are Dead these days!
The stone statue roared like a beast, angrily cursing those who tampered with the sacrifice.
Li had already walked in front of Him, holding the Poseidon's scepter high with one hand, and stabbed it straight into His abdomen.
The root-like cracks spread at the wound, spreading to the entire statue in a matter of seconds, covering it like a net, and exploding at the moment it was connected into pieces.
The broken stones fell into the bloody pond, making loud "dong-dong" sounds one after another.
The shadow of Poseidon was crying silently, and a golden rain suddenly fell without warning in the Hopeless Sea in the distance.
Amidst the continuous noise, Li whispered: "God Ancestor, rest in peace."
...
"He is dead." The woman listened to the wind and said, "He only has a trace of instinct-driven consciousness left, and his death was not peaceful. You and I are both the target of his wrath."
Qisi’s consciousness hung in the sky above the palace of thought, watching the three lines of text he had just learned in his memory scattered into fragments of strokes, becoming unrecognizable.
He seemed to hear mournful cries. The sadness at the bottom of his thoughts was so contagious that he felt depressed for a while.
“Is it because we all tampered with His sacrifice?” Qis asked knowingly.
Thinking about it, the only thing he and the woman did in common was to replace the corpse that was used as a sacrifice.
While trapped in the morgue, he conveniently exchanged the bracelets of an unknown male corpse and a pregnant female corpse.
The woman mixed Yu Kun's body with the corpses of pregnant women.
"You seem to know a lot." Zeiss looked at the woman and said with a smile, "I have reason to suspect that this copy involves something more fundamental to the weird game, which is not as simple as it seems on the surface."
The woman also smiled, her smile without warmth: "Knowledge at the divine level, when you need to contact it, the one who bet on your existence will let you know it. This information I tell you It’s enough for you to get value.”
Qiss calmly continued: "Having said this, I am a little curious. Who are the players and pieces in this so-called gambling game of the gods? Who is the one who bet on you?"
"I'm not on the chessboard." The woman shook her head.
A black and white card appeared between her fingers. A figure in white clothes with black eyes was nailed upside down to a black cross, and the cuffs and hem of his clothes were infected by the black mist that came from nowhere.
[Fallen Savior], another identity card.
"I like to cooperate with beings from all positions and levels." The woman put away her identity tag and fell straight back.
Her body ignited with green flames in an instant, and the translucent flames greedily chewed the skin, flesh and bones, leaving only a pool of human-shaped ashes and a wavering words.
"If you have the intention to cooperate, you can tell the 'puppet' anytime and anywhere, and I will know."
In the vast and boundless space, in thousands of copies, in every place in the Ruins of the Sunset In the corner, men, women, old people and children wearing gold-rimmed glasses occasionally walked by.
Their steps paused in unison, and a silvery light gray suddenly appeared in their eyes. (End of this chapter)
