Chapter 349 Beware the Rabbit The Hidden Danger of Authority

After sneaking into the administrative building late at night and learning about the conspiracy of the Eternal Life Technology Company and the secrets of Rabbit Town, Lu Ming, who is still a human, began to think - how to save Lingzi from the sacrifice?

During that half year, because the orphan mortality rate was too high, the Eternal Life Technology Company was investigated by the government and almost all sacrifices were stopped.

However, the students learned the legend of the Rabbit God from somewhere and secretly harmed their classmates who had no background in an attempt to please the Rabbit God and fulfill their own wishes.

Lu Ming was able to sense the danger of his and Lingzi's situation. He appeared in Hope Middle School as an orphan and was destined to die as a victim.

In his opinion, rather than having two people die in vain, it would be better to intervene and allow one person to survive.

So late one night, he went to the lake and played the Bamboo Cage Eyes game with the Rabbit God that Kanna Shichiro had become all night. Under the witness of the rules, he offered to sacrifice himself in exchange for Reiko's wish to live.

But he didn't expect that Lingzi had the same idea as him and had also made a wish to the Rabbit God, hoping to exchange her life for his well-being.

So in a bamboo cage eye game organized by the students, Lingzi led 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. Before she died, her strongest wish was for Lu Ming to survive - such a wish must be fulfilled.

Lu Ming was completely unaware of this at the time, and he waited for Lingzi to go to the cafeteria as usual that evening. However, he still did not see the girl until the evening self-study session began.

He searched throughout the school, searching almost every corner of the teaching building and dormitory building, but could not find any trace of the girl.

He already had a bad feeling and learned about Lingzi's death from Li Fang one afternoon.

A plan thus formed in his mind...

"After a game of Bamboo Cage Eyes, 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 agreement to let Reiko live, and was retaliated for it."

Qi Si lowered his eyes and sighed: "His only way is to resurrect you and Lingzi together, because as long as one of you dies, the other can easily coerce Him through self-sacrifice.

"But unfortunately, with his remaining divine power, he cannot revive two people at the same time. And your death has exposed Hope Middle School to the public. Sacrifices can no longer be continued, and the divine power cannot be replenished, which will lead to a dead end."

Faith is poisonous. The gods are high above and enjoy the offerings of believers, but the incense and sacrificial offerings they consume have become a kind of responsibility and bondage.

Just like a soul contract, in addition to collecting the other party's soul blade, you must also fulfill your promise to them; after the contract is signed, no being may refuse to perform the contractual obligations.

The Rabbit God's experience made Qi Si alert, and he made up his mind to use the power of the contract more cautiously in the future.

"It's not a dead end." Lu Ming shook his head, "He was too greedy, thinking he could receive sacrifices from both of us at the same time, but he never thought that I would trade with another god.

"After I died, a paradox was formed, and He was trapped in the fate of Reiko and I. I made the game "Escape from Rabbit God Town" to place Him.

"As long as He can spare Reiko's soul and revive Reiko in the space and time of Rabbit God Town, I will take the initiative to end it all."

The Rabbit God was the first to accept Reiko's sacrifice, so Reiko's soul was taken into His possession, and only a body was left in Hope Middle School.

After Lu Ming imprisoned him in the game "Escape from Rabbit Town", Reiko's soul was also imprisoned in the game and transformed into Edo Reiko, who was friends with Kanna Shichiro.

The reason why the background of the game differs from the real history is not because Lu Ming made random changes, but because Lingzi's soul is the sacrifice that the current Rabbit God is destined to obtain.

Therefore, Kanna Shichiro cannot be chosen, and Reiko must be chosen.

Correspondingly, the head of the Kanna family cannot be chosen, but needs to survive and take on the mission of telling the secret to Kanna Shichiro 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 chosen.

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 "Escape from Rabbit God Town" game by Lu Ming.

If the player's character, Kanna Shichiro, is chosen, he will gain the power of the Rabbit God and become the new Rabbit God according to the history established hundreds of years ago.

Rather than losing his divine power, it is obvious that the rabbit god transformed by Kanna Shichiro would rather lose his freedom and continue to fight with Lu Ming.

At this point, the fate of the two people and one god became a dead end, inseparable.

Lu Ming said: "He cannot leave Rabbit God Town, but the overflowing divine power can interfere with Hope Middle School. He let Lingzi die in reincarnation after reincarnation, hoping to scare me into giving up.

"But God told me that Lingzi would not have any memory of death. I will bear the pain alone, and no matter how many cycles it goes on, it is not worth being afraid of."

The clues were closed, and Qis finally understood the original intention of this copy.

The "rabbit" in "Be careful with the rabbit" should originally refer to the "rabbit god" and Kanna Shichiro who was used as a sacrifice.

When the main quest was refreshed, the narration made it very clear:

'The girl's fate has been determined by the gods. No matter how many times she reincarnates, she will never escape the endless cycle of seven days.'

'She is destined to die, and will suffer more and more. No one can change her fate, but some people are overconfident and want 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 person trapped in the cycle rest in peace."

Lingzi was the destined sacrifice and had to die as written. Lu Ming could live according to Lingzi's wish - this was a plan the Rabbit God could accept.

However, Lu Ming was unwilling to do so, and used a paradox to imprison the Rabbit God in the game "Escape from Rabbit God Town", stubbornly starting reincarnation again and again.

What players need to do is to dispel Lu Ming's delusion, end the infinite loop of the copy, and rescue the trapped Rabbit God.

Unfortunately, Qi and Li Heng intervened and added an optional main quest for the players, which is to find a new route to pass the game and save Lingzi.

But Qi Si just hates rescue missions, no matter if the other party is Reiko or Rabbit God.

"If that's what you said, things might be a little troublesome." Qi Si touched his chin, "You said that Edo Reiko in "Escape from Rabbit God Town" is Reiko's soul; I remember that I seemed to have killed her."

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 such that all his plans were ruined and there was no room for maneuver. He even wanted to kill him.

Later, for some reason, she calmed down, gave up on strangling him, and communicated with him in a calm manner.

"No, she's still alive." Lu Ming lowered his eyes and looked at Qi Si's right pocket. "I originally thought you killed her, but soon I felt that her soul appeared again."

Qi Si reached into his pocket, felt the soft coolness, and subconsciously took out the things inside.

It was a bright red prayer belt with beautiful words written in gold:
[I want to be with Xiao Qi. Lingzi]

This was Lingzi's prayer belt. When Qi Si was writing his own prayer belt, he happened to see it and tore it off.

In the mountains outside Rabbit God Town, Reiko was bewitched by a ghost. He used this prayer belt to arouse Reiko's inner desires and signed a contract with her.

[Name: Lingzi's prayer belt]

[Type: props]

【Effect:? ? ? 】

【Remark:? ? ? 】

A silver-white prompt text appeared in front of my eyes. The originally ordinary prayer belt had the potential to become a prop.

After being held by Qis for a while, the blood-colored prayer belt became slightly hot, the kind of temperature that releases light and heat but will not burn the holder.

At the bottom of the Mind Palace, a bright red leaf condensed again, belonging to Lingzi. Qi Si remembered what he had said to Lingzi at that time -

'You said you wanted to be with me, so I would like to ask, are you willing to believe in me and follow me forever?'

This undoubtedly constituted a contract. The four words "follow forever" made Lingzi's soul attached to the prayer belt and turned into a prop.

This was the first time that Qis had encountered such an uncontrollable situation since he became an official player and used the Soul Contract skill.

Although this did not lead to bad results, and even developed in a good direction, he still felt cold in his heart.

The closer you are to the level of gods, the more secrets you learn about the first level of gods, and the more you realize that there are many dangers under the web of rules. If you are not careful, you will find yourself in a situation where you can be slaughtered.

No wonder when he proposed to replace Qi, Li agreed so readily...

But even Li was excluded from the game due to the conspiracy between Qi and Fu Jue...

"I understand." Qi Si's expression remained unchanged, and he asked knowingly, "Now all I need to do is inherit the power of the Rabbit God in the Rabbit God Festival as Kanna Shichiro, and then return to Hope Middle School to revive Reiko, and everything will be over?"

"Yes. Thank you." Lu Ming's pale face showed a stiff and pale smile as a token of gratitude to Qisi.

His shadow gradually faded like an ink painting soaked in water and disappeared into the pitch-black background. Only Qis was left in the room.

The comments in the live broadcast room were scrolling like crazy.

"So this is what the "Beware the Rabbit" dungeon is about! I feel like I completed a fake "Beware the Rabbit"..."

"Should I say he is worthy of being a big boss? In a seemingly ordinary puzzle dungeon, Siqi faced off against a god-level existence! If the Unnamed Guild continues to develop, it seems that it will have the potential to compete with the Jiuzhou Guild."

"The people above should stop praising or criticizing. Can the Rabbit God be considered a god? He looks like a high-level NPC with a good reputation. Fu Shen can kill such a monster with one punch."

"Wow... I'm so touched... Lu Ming sacrificed his life for Lingzi, and even plotted against the gods as a mortal. So this is the story of the "Be Careful with the Rabbit" copy..."

"You guys continue chatting. I'm going back to the forum to write a guide. I wonder if I can get a first place spot."

Qi Si looked at the flickering audience sentiment pie chart in the upper left corner of his sight and remembered that the live broadcast was still on.

Under the prophecy of "faith is poisonous", he successfully lost interest in spreading his name. Now that he has almost conveyed the attitude that should be conveyed, it would be redundant to start a live broadcast.

Qi Si raised his eyes to the ceiling and recited word by word in his mind: "Weird Game, shut down my live broadcast room."

The players of Sunset Ruins only saw the live broadcast room titled "Siqi" go black in a second, with a line of pale text printed on it:

[Player Siqi has closed the live broadcast]

"What's going on? We're at the critical point, why do you just shut down the live broadcast? Doesn't the Unnamed Guild provide after-sales service?"

"Give me back! I just bet 10,000 points on him to clear the game with TE, please don't try to cheat me out of my points..."

"Let's go, it's a single-player dungeon. The route is almost set in the later stages. What else can we do?"

The discussion in the barrage died down after a while, and many players quietly followed Qis's live broadcast room, anxiously waiting for the end of the dungeon.

In the unnamed guild base, Lin Chen sat in the office, watching the screen of the live broadcast room go black, with worry on his face.

At first glance, clearing the "Beware the Rabbit" copy seemed a foregone conclusion, but he always felt that things were not that simple.

That is a god-level existence. Qis is certainly experienced and has sat at the negotiation table with gods, but in this copy where most of the props are banned, can he really escape danger as he did in the past?
From the information available, it can be known that by the time of the Rabbit God Festival on August 7, it will be a foregone conclusion that Kanna Shichiro, played by Qi Si, will inherit the power of the Rabbit God.

The Rabbit God transformed by Kanna Shichiro will certainly do his best to kill Qis before that, in order to preserve his own status and authority...

Qi Si was afraid that he still had a tough battle to fight. He probably turned off the live broadcast at this time to prevent others from seeing his weak and embarrassed side...

Lin Chen clenched his fists and tried to contact Qis through the soul leaf again, but received no response as before.

He smiled bitterly and sighed: If he had not set his real name as his display nickname, he might have been able to team up with Qi Si and enter the dungeon right now, and he wouldn't have to stand outside and watch anxiously...

……

Qi Si rejected all messages and enjoyed the peace and quiet.

He knew that he had become a thorn in the Rabbit God's side. The dragon-slaying boy Kanna Shichiro 1.0 eventually became the evil dragon. If he had not been bound by his faith, he would have wanted to kill Kanna Shichiro 2.0, the character he played, immediately.

What is more troublesome is that although he cannot understand the inefficient and worthless behavior of Lu Ming and Lingzi who sacrificed themselves for each other, and he does not have the good intention to help these two good people get good rewards, he is indeed determined to obtain the power of the Rabbit God.

Since the contradiction between the two cannot be reconciled, we can only let nature take its course.

Qi Si searched another drawer of the desk and found Li Fang's death notice.

Li Fang died before Lu Ming. Calculating the time, it should have been shortly after she revealed the cause of Lingzi's death to Lu Ming.

Although the death notice stated that it was an accidental sudden death, the real reason was most likely that he was silenced by the Eternal Life Technology Company.

Qi Si almost understood why Li Fang and Lingzi were both important NPCs who could refresh prompt texts.

It’s just because they are all dead, and their souls were left in Lu Ming’s consciousness space.

There are very few souls in this copy world. Only Lu Ming, Rabbit God, Lingzi and Li Fang are real. The other NPCs are probably replicas constructed by Lu Ming based on his memory.

"That's boring. Even after becoming a ghost, you didn't even think of killing everyone in the school and locking them in your own world to play a battle royale?"

Qi Si shook his head in boredom, reached into the bottom of the drawer, and pulled out a yellowed booklet. It looked like a book of ghost stories circulated privately among middle school students.

There was a note on the cover, which said that the book was confiscated from a student from a well-off family and would be returned to the owner after the student finished his exams on August 3 and submitted a self-criticism.

Qi Si opened the booklet and saw the following words written in a sloppy handwriting on the middle page:
[Bamboo cage eyes, bamboo cage eyes, when will the bird in the cage be released to fly? ]

[In the early hours of the night, a crane and a turtle fell over each other, and the child behind them asked who it was? ]

[Legend has it that as long as you recite the above ballad and complete the bamboo cage eye game, you can make the Rabbit God fulfill a wish. 】

There always needs to be a channel for the Bamboo Cage Eyes game to spread among students, and the channel that students of this age can access is various pamphlets.

Qi Si tore off the page, picked up the ballpoint pen on the desk, and wrote new content:
[The Scarlet Lord who has traveled 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 god's name by the lake, the Rabbit God will grant you any wish. ]

Although he knew the hidden dangers of faith and contractual authority, Qis did not intend to give up because of fear. Risks and benefits were equal. He always liked to gamble and to take small risks for big gains.

Even if he couldn't get more souls in this copy, he was very interested in trying to steal the relationship between Lu Ming and the Rabbit God.

Besides, what's wrong with reciting his three-line divine name and then going to the Rabbit God to fulfill your wish?
The soul blade is his, but the responsibilities and obligations belong to the Rabbit God. The division of labor is so clear and the organization is so neat.
