The Social Life of the Supreme God

Chapter 43 Elevator No.
  Do not…

wrong…

Something is wrong!
  Renli thought so and looked at his hand - the "eyeball necklace" that Qin Songzi had given him before was still in his palm.

really!

I'm not crazy!
  Fortunately, it was just a ghost.

Better than going crazy!
  When Renli's mood calmed down... there was the sound of metal hitting the ground outside the car.

Following the sound, a silver-haired old man holding a skull cane and wearing a gold-wired monocle came to the elevator entrance.

The old man was wearing a tailor-made striped suit - a few light gray fine lines clinging to the purple velvet fabric, and a carefully groomed snow-white beard, making the old man look... very elegant, sophisticated, Appropriate.

The premise is that he doesn't speak.

"Ouch! My Lord Ren! I miss you so much! Are you okay? Let me see quickly..."

As soon as the handsome old man opened his mouth, his style changed completely - he looked like a classic retro luxury car that was equipped with a diesel engine from a second-hand tractor.

"Stop! Stop it! Don't touch me!" Renli immediately recognized that this person... was the committee's transportation minister who had just talked to him through the elevator pager - Mr. Gu Di.

At this time, Renli didn't care to complain: this handsome old man who seemed to be the same generation as his grandfather always called himself "Master Ren".

At this moment, he had to confirm another thing immediately - then, Renli opened his palms and showed the entire "eyeball necklace" in front of Gu Di: "Mr. Gu, take a look... this necklace."

"Hmm... um? Necklace? Oh! Yes! It's a necklace!" After recognizing the thing in Renli's palm, Gu Di was very impressed: "As expected of Minister Ren! He took out... such a thing easily!"

[Tip: Ancient dice, expresses admiration for your strength, favorability +10. Gudice, my current attitude towards you is: "Respect like a god"]

After confirming that Gu Di could also see the necklace, Renli breathed a sigh of relief - it seemed that he... was not crazy after all.

When Renli completely calmed down, a new narration came to his ears.

[Tip: Gudice is already your believer. At 0:5000 every day, Gudice will produce for you: social points/day]

kindness? so much?
  Renli remembered that there were two colleagues before who were also such believers. The output mentioned by the narrator at that time seemed to be...5 social points/day?
  Regardless of when this ancient minister started to become a believer - these 5000 social points/day are a thousand times more than before.

Why? Could it be that... Gu Di's physique is different?
  Renli thought so and took a few more glances at the handsome old man in front of him.

"Hey, Lao Ren, don't look at me like this, I'm sorry."

Seeing this handsome old man rubbing his head and laughing, a guess came to Renli's mind...

The believer mechanism of this Heavenly Road may be - the weirder the believer, the faster the production points.

Thinking about this,

Renli felt that it would be okay to listen to this old man's nagging in the future - after all... people were paying to chat.

...

"Let's go, aren't there still meetings to be held?" Renli's mental state at this time has returned to normal: "I'm going to trouble you today too."

"Why are you so polite to me? It's my honor to drive for you! You don't know... the most awesome person that Lao Gu has ever driven in his life... is you! I think back then, when I was still in office... …”

……

Amidst Gu Di's chattering, the two walked out of the elevator and officially entered the negative 4th floor - here was actually a huge underground parking lot.

Various vehicles were parked in hundreds of parking spaces - including private cars with blue license plates with white characters, and military vehicles with... red characters on a white background.

Gu Di, on the other hand, was leading Ren Li towards one of the seven-seater nanny cars with a private car license plate.

"Boss Ren, let's take this seat today! You feel comfortable sleeping..." Gu Di said, pressing the sensor button on the door handle, and then took the initiative to open the electric side sliding door for Renli.

"Routine..." Looking at Renli who was approaching, Gu Di took out the earplugs and eye mask from his waist pocket: "You have a good sleep. We are almost there."

Renli was not surprised after taking the two things handed over by Gu Dian - every time he went to the secret venue built by the committee, he could only take a vehicle driven by the Minister of Transportation, Gu Dian.

Even on the road, you have to wear eye masks and earplugs at all times to prevent passengers from memorizing the route - just like... a movie plot.

The committee's explanation for this is: important assets and secrets are kept in that venue to prevent the prying eyes of external forces and commercial espionage. Only a few people in the entire committee know the specific coordinates of the venue. Among them is... Gu Di, who is sitting in the driver's seat.

"Minister Ren, you can sleep peacefully. Don't worry when Lao Gu drives, he will drive according to the rules and not be distracted..."

Looking at Gu Di, who turned to look at him and was still chattering, Renli silently put on the eye mask and earplugs - the moment before darkness enveloped his vision, Renli glanced at the rainbow pattern on the palm of his left hand.

He could just take the opportunity of riding in the car to sort out... what happened in the elevator just now.

Before Qin Songzi and the three criminals completely disappeared. Renli once heard a passage from the narrator: [Power: Reality reconstruction, effective. The "narrative layer" has made...revisions to...reality]

After that, although all the evidence related to the [Earthbound Spirit] was erased. Dan Renli's hand: the necklace given by Qin Songzi. and the rainbow pattern on the palm of his left hand are well preserved.

In addition, he has verified that ordinary people can see these two things.

This shows that...[Earthbound Spirit] is real, and [Symbiotic Rainbow] is also real.

With such reasoning, Renli has understood that the essence of [Heavenly Road]...maybe it is the power to capture "supernatural phenomena" that exist in the real world as pets by consuming social points?
  Thinking of this, Renli naturally thought of that poison dart frog with intelligent eyes.

Combined with the effect of his [life] power, perhaps... whenever Renli recognizes the true nature of those "supernatural phenomena", something similar to what just happened will happen - that is... [reality reconstruction]. But...why didn't the "narrative layer" "reconstruct" the necklace from [Earthbound Spirit] in Renli's hands?

Renli frowned in thought, and finally, he contacted the poison dart frog that was sitting in the palm of his left hand.

He came to a conjecture, that is - the "narrative layer" will not directly "reconstruct" the items on Renli's body.

With this thought in mind, Renli put the eyeball necklace in his hand around his neck.

In this way, what Gu Di once said through the elevator pager just now - those things like: "Not long after you got on the elevator, you started talking to yourself. When the elevator stopped due to malfunction...you ran for a while, jumped for a while, and then... Punch into the air and whip." It all makes sense.

Everything is a "narrative layer", and the misunderstanding is caused by erasing the existence of Qin Songzi and the three criminals...

kindness? Something seems wrong...

After thinking about this, Renli felt an indescribable feeling of uneasiness - only after a few seconds did he finally discover the source of this uneasiness.

That is…

The elevator obviously stopped once on the negative 1 floor!
  On the negative 1 floor, when Renli tried to seize the cigarette, he attacked three criminals! Renli even walked out of the elevator, put out his cigarette, and threw it into the cigarette butt recycler in the trash can in the corridor!

The elevator failure only occurred on the negative 3rd floor!
  And in Gu Di's words... there was no mention that Renli had ever walked out of the elevator! He also said that Renli... only started running and taking action after the elevator malfunctioned!
  Wrong order! !
  There is an obvious loophole in Gu Dice’s words! ! !

After reasoning to this point, Renli's already steady heartbeat accelerated again.

Is he lying to me?

Are the people on the committee lying to me? ! !
  This suspicion made Renli feel cold on his cheeks, and then - when he subconsciously touched his face and touched the eye mask... Renli realized an even more terrifying problem:

[Reasonable Life] The description of power is: the world is affected by his cognition and is divided into a "real" and a "reasonable" world.

Vision and hearing are part of cognition.

and so…

Renri wears an eye mask and earplugs every time he goes to that "secret venue". It's not for secrecy at all!
  Eye mask and earplugs! The real function of these two things is to prevent Renli from understanding the world!

As long as he cannot understand the world...his power of [reasonable life] will have no effect!
  So...the people on the committee have always known what I'm capable of?

Makes sense!

No wonder they suddenly recruited me! A department was even set up just for me!
  Thinking of this, Renli's underwear was soaked with cold sweat - when he realized that those who had always been closest to and trusted by him might be joining forces to deceive him.

This made Renli feel an unprecedented panic - a panic of realizing that he might... be living in a false world.

……

But after the panic, people still have to face reality.

Since the committee asked him to wear a blindfold and earplugs every time, this means that the car Renri is riding in is also part of the "paranormal phenomenon".

What would happen if he took off his blindfold and earplugs and became aware of the car...and the world inside and outside it?

Feeling his racing heart, Renli's hands reached for his eyes and ears respectively...

Immediately, when he took off his eye mask and earplugs and looked around, his heart stopped for a moment——

The interior of the car was very clean, and there was an unopened bottle of mineral water in the slot of the armrest of his seat.

Looking out the car window again, through the light black sunshade film, Renli saw...

Outside the car was a viaduct - various vehicles with different license plates were roaring past in the opposite direction. Gu Di, who was in the driver's seat, was concentrating on controlling the vehicle... constantly surpassing the car in front.

Finally, Renli followed the anti-collision walls on both sides of the viaduct and looked into the distance - there were buildings with different appearances, heights, and architectural styles.

Everything is normal inside and outside the car.

……

This result actually gave Renli a sigh of relief.

It’s impossible—the entire world outside the car window is modified by the “narrative layer,” right?
  It seems...

It was because I became neurotic after knowing the effect of this [life] power... From now on, I can't always be so suspicious, or else I will really drive myself crazy.

Renli thought so, before being discovered by Gu Ding, he put on his eye mask and earplugs again——

Obviously, compared to the whole world outside the car window, which is false... Renli is more likely to believe that he is being suspicious.
