Abyss Game: I am covered with cheats

"Hello, are you the person in charge of the post office assessment?" The man's tired eyes focused on Xu Tong, his sunken eye sockets enough to prove his mental anguish and broken state.

Xu Tong was slightly taken aback, a flash of inspiration seeming to cross his mind.

Immediately afterward, he responded to the man's words, "I am. Are you here today because...?"

The man chuckled dryly and said, "I really need a job, but I've searched the entire city and can't find one that will accept me. After all, I used to be involved with the Outer God Church, and Qingcheng can't tolerate someone like me."

"But, I heard that Qingcheng Post Office doesn't care about that, and only recruits truly capable people, so... I want to give it a try."

Xu Tong frowned. Although the phrases "Outer God Church" and "Qingcheng can't tolerate someone like me" gave him a wealth of information, his focus remained on the conversation with the man.

"So, you're here to apply for a job, is that right?"

The man nodded. "Yes, that's right. Please, give me this opportunity to apply. I will do everything I can!"

After a moment of silence, Xu Tong sighed in relief and said, "Are you sure? Even if you really get a job at the post office, you might not have the happy life you imagine."

The man still held firm in his belief. "I'm sure. I really need this job right now. You may not know, but my child was just born, and his mother died in childbirth. I have to take care of this child and my mother... I have to get this job!"

Listening to the man's words, although he already knew the outcome, Xu Tong still didn't refuse.

Rejecting this man now might prevent them from turning into ghosts later.

But, it would only bring that possibility forward.

This is an unavoidable closed loop.

The man has to get this job, otherwise he won't be able to support his newborn child and his aging mother.

If he gets this job, the child will still die prematurely, and losing hope for the future, the man will kill his elderly mother, and then officially become the director of the Qingcheng Post Office, waiting for the next person to arrive who can take over his position.

So, Xu Tong is very clear about the identity he's playing now.

"Am I the previous director?"

After passing on the director's identity to the man in front of him, the role Xu Tong was playing had no more meaning, so he hanged himself in this building.

The man who obtained the director's identity moved into this house, and then the later events happened.

Now, Xu Tong has figured everything out at once.

The moment he said this, the man's head suddenly changed.

The originally thin face turned back into the ghost head's appearance on the second floor of the post office. "Congratulations, you answered my question correctly."

As he spoke, the ghost head's lower body also began to change bit by bit, turning into the headless ghost's lower body from before.

Besides a blood-stained kitchen knife, it was also dragging the head of Xu Tong's shadow in its hand.

However, at this moment, the ghost head chose to release the head of Xu Tong's shadow, returning it to its original owner.

Watching his shadow's head return to its original position, Xu Tong could instantly feel that the complete loss of sensation in his neck, and the gradually rotting state, had disappeared.

Although it was still wrapped in a large number of bandages, at least now, Xu Tong could feel the pain of the staples piercing into the flesh of his neck.

«Main quest completed»

«All tasks completed»

«Preparing to leave the Abyss World»

Seeing this string of text appear, Xu Tong knew that he was about to leave this world, so he seized the time and asked the ghost head in front of him, "What is the relationship between the main world of the Abyss World and Qingcheng?"

The ghost head still didn't use the most direct words to answer. "Answering your question directly is a violation, after all, the Outer Gods, Ancient Gods, and the Main World have reached an agreement, and cannot privately reveal information to anyone.

"However, although you have to get a pass to the main world of the Abyss World before you can figure out most of the things, well... I can still give you a hint.

"Regarding the main world of the Abyss World, there is one person who is the key of keys. This person's attitude towards a certain party may directly determine the future direction of the main world of the Abyss World, and at the same time... it can also indirectly determine whether the Abyss World will drag all other worlds to destruction with it."

Xu Tong raised his eyebrows when he heard the ghost head say such a thing, realizing that this person was very important. "Tell me, do I know this person?"

The ghost head grinned.

"This person's name is...

"Dibag."

Hearing these three words, Xu Tong's pupils dilated slightly.

Because this name was very familiar to him.

In the Countermeasures Bureau's rookie confrontation instance, he released this person from the basement of the mental hospital.

Is this person the existence that can determine the direction of the entire Abyss World?

The ghost head stared into Xu Tong's eyes and said, "Judging from your expression, you seem to have heard of this name."

"More than just heard of it," Xu Tong replied, "To be precise, this person named Dibag should owe me a favor."

"Owes you a favor?" The ghost head's expression suddenly changed. "Are you sure you're not kidding me?"

Xu Tong asked, "Do you think I'm the kind of person who would joke with you at this time?"

Taking a deep breath, the way the ghost head looked at Xu Tong completely changed.

"Perhaps, I have to correct my judgment of you.

"My previous judgment of you was that you were superior to ordinary people, but now, my evaluation of you is different.

"If it's you... perhaps you really can lead the Abyss World onto the right track and save all the worlds on the verge of destruction.

"Even, you can save Qingcheng..."

Before Xu Tong could make any more inquiries about this sentence, the vision in front of him suddenly went black.

He had escaped from the Abyss World.

—

In the Qingcheng Post Office, the ghost head, with only a head left, opened its eyes in the office.

What came into view, besides the pitch-black office, was actually a person standing in front of it.

"Doctor Piero," the ghost head stared at Piero, who was standing in front of him wearing a white coat, and said his name, "Why are you running to my remote post office instead of staying in Qingcheng Hospital?"

Piero smiled. "I just heard that you met Xu Tong, so I came over to take a look. You shouldn't have made things difficult for him, right?"

The ghost head smiled coldly. "Make things difficult for him? That's hard to say. Now Xu Tong has taken over the entire Qingcheng Post Office from me. When Xu Tong isn't here, I can still maintain the operation of the post office.

"But as long as Xu Tong comes to Qingcheng Post Office, he is the owner of the post office, and even I no longer have any power."

Hearing the ghost head say this, a hint of pride flashed in Piero's eyes. "Amazing, right? How can our chief physician's strength be ordinary?"

Ghost Head: "..."

"I'm really looking forward to it," Doctor Piero raised his head, trying to see through the ceiling and see things beyond the ceiling by the dim light of the white candle that could exorcise ghosts in front of the desk, "I'm really looking forward to the day when Xu Tong comes to Qingcheng.

"When that day comes, perhaps he will understand.

"Behind him, there is an entire world supporting him."
