[The bones of the ancestor gods were stranded in the abyss of darkness, and the remaining curse polluted the human race. Evil spirits and evil spirits crawl out of hell, and disasters and pain are rampant in the world.
Foolish believers thought it was a wizard causing trouble, and a torture rack was set up in the square in front of the temple, and a steady stream of heretics were tied up.
In the dark ages, unfair judgments prevailed, disasters never ended, and evil spirits still raged. Amid the cries of the crowd, heroes with courage and wisdom stood up.
He discovered that the root of the curse lay in the pollution of the ancestral god. In order to win the trust of others, he broke into the temple and caused changes in himself. When human beings only dared to judge their own kind, he tried to judge the superior old gods.
Believers and pagans cursed his madness, and they all fled away because of fear. Only his body was left, and he held the torch high and burned the temple to the ground.
The fire burned everything for three days and three nights, and no living thing came out of the sea of fire, whether it was humans or gods. 】
【Identity Card Dark Judge】
……
Ruins of the Sunset, Jiuzhou Guild Base.
Ning Xu is sitting in the office. There are two monitors on the desk. One is playing the live broadcast of the "Colosseum" copy from Lin Ye's perspective, and the other is sorting out the live barrage and related discussions in the game forum in real time. Enter the document.
As the scolding war raged, Ning Xu watched from a detached perspective and calmly sorted out what happened.
Chang Xu disobeyed the orders of the Investigation Bureau, closed the live broadcast and entered the "Colosseum" copy. He activated the effect of the [Dark Judge] card to start the trial of Chiss, and wanted to kill Chiss at all costs.
An unknown force intervened from behind, leading players to view this matter as Kyushu's persecution of the new guild, and the conflicts that had been suppressed in the past surged together, making the situation out of the control of either party.
The Bureau of Investigation was probably vaguely aware of the things Qis had done, so although they were shocked, they could understand Chang Xu's behavior.
If Fu Jue had not resisted the pressure on his own and stopped the actions of other investigators on the grounds of "Don't alert the enemy, so as not to affect the plan", Qisi's residence would have been surrounded long ago, and even people would have been invited to the investigation bureau to drink. Tea.
No one knew what Fu Jue's plan was. Even the headquarters was in the dark about the so-called overall situation, let alone the Jiangcheng branch.
The only thing that is certain is that the weird and realistic battlefield will begin in Jiangcheng, because... Fu Jue himself moved his office to Jiangcheng. Except for returning to the Beidu headquarters once a week, he spends most of his time at the Jiangcheng branch.
When the storm is about to come, Ning Xu thinks that she is very close to Fu Jue and is his capable general, but in the end she discovers that she actually knows nothing.
And there was nothing she could do about it.
In the live broadcast room, the shadow of the [Dark Judge] enveloped the entire world. The judge with black clothes and golden eyes threw the cross into the field and hung it above Qiss' head.
The scarlet king's chess piece condensed on Chang Xu's head as the backlash of the activation effect, embedded in the dim scene like a bleeding wound, seemingly indicating destiny.
Chang Xu was not the first owner of [Dark Judge]. The first holder of this identity card was Lin Jue, the president of the Ark Guild. He was at the top of the overall strength list of Weird Games at the time and died in the 22nd year. The young man from Ragnarok before.
Ning Xu entered the strange game when she was twelve years old, and was matched with Lin Jue in the same dungeon.
It was a large dungeon with a harsh environment. Players not only had to contend with endless emergencies and mysterious phenomena, but they also had to find ways to combat the extremely cold weather in the ice and snow.
There are too few clues, the main mission is unclear, players who go out to explore die one after another, and players who stay in the stronghold are also harvested by the invisible god of death.
When everyone was at a loss, Lin Jue activated the effect of [Dark Judge], and the object of judgment was himself.
The alternative option of [Kill Lin Jue] for the main mission appears on the player's system interface, which is undoubtedly much clearer than the original main mission.
The young man with a black cross hanging above his head smiled and said to everyone: "If I can't find a way to clear the main mission before tomorrow, I will commit suicide so that everyone can clear it."
Lin definitely did not die that time, perhaps because of renewed hope. Players actively spread out to explore new lands, collect clues, and successfully cleared the dungeon known for its hellish difficulty after six hours.
The effect of [Dark Judge] is still continuing. In every copy thereafter, Lin Jue will kill himself as the last option until he died at Ragnarok twenty-two years ago.
Ning Xu has been drifting in the strange game for twenty-six years, and now she is no longer young; all the people she knows are also no longer young, some have long since perished in the long river of time, and some are remnant souls left in the world.
She once thought that after so many years of walking, she knew Fu Jue well enough to understand his thoughts and emotions hidden under his ice-like appearance. When she suddenly came back to her senses, she discovered that the man at the top of the weird game had already been with her in her memory. The image is very different.
He transformed from an idealistic boy to a calm and courageous young man step by step, and then died at the most blazing and bright moment like the sun. He crawled back to the world from hell with another body and face, discarding his original name and surname. Become the so-called "Fu God".
People who once resisted being overly deified have begun to compete for the mirage-like throne under the rules...
"People change, Fu Jue, thirty-six years have passed, have you changed too?"
Through Lin Ye's live broadcast perspective, Ning Xu could see Chang Xu split Qisi's chest with his black life-breaking force, and the thick blood was thrown out like a ribbon. In the background, the auditorium full of animals was swaying with excitement like worms. .
She began to think about how the Bureau would handle this emergency.
Chang Xu broke away from the control of the Investigation Bureau and killed Qisi, a member of the unnamed guild, in public, which also detonated public opinion and dealt a blow to Kyushu's prestige and the credibility of the game forum.
Although there were other people who really controlled all this, it was he who provided those people with the knife to stab the Bureau. More importantly...he learned to disobey orders.
This kind of monster, which is uncontrollable and deeply involved in strange games, should be contained in the fifth underground floor of the Investigation Bureau, which will never see the light of day.
Ning Xu has a higher level and often goes to and from the fifth underground floor. She has also seen some of the creatures imprisoned there, such as Zhang Yiyu.
She knew that such an environment was enough to drive people crazy. Even a normal person would turn into a dangerous lunatic after living there for a month. Then someone would say in hindsight: "Look, it's a good thing he was locked up in advance." ”
What if Chang Xu was imprisoned?
Ning Xu remembered that when she first met Chang Xu, the latter was still an ignorant and cruel young man like a beast. She brought him back. In fact, she was just carrying out Fu Jue's order, but she couldn't help but talk to him more. sentence.
Concern is just a casual act. Any kind-hearted person would act like that in such a situation, just like a cat lover who would casually feed a stray cat a cat strip. But no matter what, Chang Xu was no stranger to her. She thought that maybe she could ask for mercy from the Investigation Bureau. After all, although Chang Xu was impulsive in killing Qisi, it was understandable, right?
Ning Xu left the guild base, logged out of the weird game from the game space, and returned to reality.
The moment she opened her eyes, she saw countless strange and magnificent sights. Golden leaves appeared rootlessly in mid-air, and were blown to the ground by the strong wind from above. Golden blood rivers were like diseased veins. Writhing wildly, the young man in black stepped onto the shore step by step from the bottom of the river.
The river bites its own tail like a long snake, knotting into a flowing Möbius strip; fragments of clocks and hourglasses are flying along the river, as well as parchment rolls, record players, oracle bones, and metal belonging to various regions and eras. Stone slabs, old-fashioned telephones...
All reality turned into pieces and became the slaves of this river, flying and flowing in disorder and chaos, unable to distinguish morning from evening and sequence.
Ning Xu felt countless emotions that did not belong to her. The past of those strangers washed over her one after another, pain, joy, confusion, anger, regret...
Unknowingly, her face was filled with tears. She wanted to close her eyes but was unable to move. Under the severe pain, her eyes bleed, covering her vision with a red blood film.
The world became blurry and she couldn't see many details, which actually helped her wake up. She heard the blaring sirens.
【warn! A surge in strange content in nearby space and time has been detected, and it is suspected that strange things above level A have escaped]
Ning Xu clearly knew that the strangeness that was coming at this moment could not only be A-level, and all kinds of strange phenomena could only occur if he looked directly at the gods.
A god from a weird game has come to reality, who could it be? How did it come out? And why are you here?
On the coffee table in Fu Jue's office, a strange-looking goddess statue was weeping blood and tears. Within a few seconds, its entire body was soaked in blood, and no trace of its original whiteness could be seen anymore.
Ning Xu struggled to open the door and staggered towards the elevator.
She knew that she had no chance of winning against the gods with her own strength, but she had to grit her teeth and push forward. Even if she died, she had to control the gods in the Weird Investigation Bureau to avoid causing a wider disaster.
The elevator ascended from the fifth underground floor, and the numbers on the floor changed rapidly. There is only one elevator that exits the fifth underground floor. There are small nuclear bombs buried in the walls of other places. They will explode immediately if they are attacked by a weird attack above level A.
What the investigators need to do is to guard the only elevator and activate the self-destruction program if they see something else coming up from below.
Ning Xu and several investigators who rushed over stood at the door of the elevator. Without exception, everyone had blood and tears in their eyes and was extremely embarrassed.
None of them knew what would come up from the fifth underground level; no one knew whether human weapons could kill a god.
The elevator stopped at the basement level, where the investigators were located. The elevator door slowly opened, and standing behind him was a tall young man dressed in black, with a pale face and a gloomy expression.
"Chang Xu?" Ning Xu called out the man's name, her heart relaxed for a moment, and then she was immediately warned of the danger by jumping wildly.
She had never seen Chang Xu like this before, extremely rational, sober, and indifferent, with no reflection of anyone in his eyes. He was so dangerous that he didn't look like a human being or a monster, but like a god.
An investigator who learned the ending of "Colosseum" in Sunset Ruins gasped: "Chang...Chang Xu, aren't you dead?"
Yes, Chang Xu died. Under the evil god's golden eyes, he was stabbed through the chest by Qisi with a white scepter and killed.
So what exactly is standing here now?
All the investigators saw that the familiar face of Chang Xu in front of them had a pair of empty golden eyes, and there were infinite worlds, endless time and space, and countless people's desires in their depths...
Like gods, exactly gods.
"Let him go." The investigators heard the order from Fu Jue ringing in their earphones.
In fact, even without Fu Jue's order, they couldn't do anything.
Under God's gaze, they were as helpless as ants pinned down by fingernails. They could not even tremble their lips. For the first time, they realized how stupid their previous plan to detonate a nuclear bomb and die together was.
They couldn't press the button of the detonator, and could only watch helplessly as the god who occupied Chang Xu's body walked straight to the stairs and disappeared from the end of their field of vision, without even giving them a glance from the beginning to the end.
Suddenly, everyone fell to the ground bleeding, twisting like a centipede, and becoming stiffer little by little...
……
In Nancheng, Ning Province, Liu Yuhan's body lay quietly on the bed in a single apartment, gradually becoming cold.
In her hand, she held tightly a crumpled piece of paper that looked like it had just been torn out of a notebook, with contract terms such as mortgaging her soul written on it.
That was the soul contract signed between her and Zeiss in the copy of "Hopeless Sea". It can travel between the game and reality and cannot be damaged. After she released the copy, she knew that she would definitely die, and she just wanted to leave as many clues to the Weird Investigation Bureau as possible.
——It's a pity that she didn't know that the Weird Investigation Bureau was in chaos under the dual pressure of public opinion and the incident of divine descent, and had no time to deal with these minutiae.
Liu Yuhan's body was discovered five days later.
The weather in late spring was already very hot, and the body would begin to rot and stink within a short period of time. The neighbor next door was affected by the stench and knocked on her door angrily. When she found that she couldn't open the door, she had a bad suspicion and called the Sheriff's Department with a weird look on her face.
The door was pried open with violent means, and everyone saw the corpse, which was oozing pus and infested with maggots. The skin and flesh were bruised and swollen, and the limbs were swollen. It had turned into a giant.
The police officers who were called felt unlucky. Some of the inexperienced ones didn't even dare to look at the body. They vomited while holding on to the door.
The forensic doctor pretended to perform a hasty autopsy and came to the conclusion that it was "not a homicide." Naturally, the piece of paper soaked in corpse oil in the corpse's hand was regarded as a ridiculous fantasy.
The Public Security Bureau conducted a humanitarian investigation into the background of the deceased. After learning that both her parents were dead and only a few relatives were far away in the countryside of other provinces, they called her.
After those relatives learned that the deceased had no inheritance for them to inherit, they all expressed that they could not get away to deal with the funeral arrangements.
It only took two days to complete this process. Liu Yuhan's body was sent to the crematorium for burning, and the ashes were environmentally sprinkled into a mountain specially designed to bury ownerless ashes.
She was like a drop of water merging into the ocean, disappearing from this vast world without causing a single ripple. (End of chapter)
