Infinite weird games

"Ring ring ring... ring ring... ring..."

The bell swayed, and it sounded like it was getting closer and closer to the temple door. There was only a thin door panel between them, and someone could break in at any time.

Following the gentle noise, the crashing sound inside the coffin became fainter and gradually subsided into a silent nothingness, as if it was soothed.

Zeiss stood up from the coffin and looked to the right side of the auricle. The maggots and carrion that were originally scattered on the ground disappeared, and the ground was as clean as usual, as if nothing had ever existed.

The Temple of Joy seems to be just an ordinary temple, with nothing unusual except for the statue of the God of Joy stepping down from the shrine. The only thing that could prove what had just happened was the soul-suppressing nail in his hand and Du Xiaoyu lying on the ground.

The bell outside the door stopped, and then, three gentle knocks sounded on the temple door.

Mrs. Xu's hoarse voice came faintly: "Dear guests, are you in there? Open the door."

Shang Qingbei cast a questioning look at Qisi.

The situation outside was unknown, and the timing of Mrs. Xu's appearance was indeed a bit subtle. Judging from her tone, she seemed to know what was going on in the temple, which seemed strange.

"Come on, you can't sit in the temple for seven days." Qisi walked towards Du Xiaoyu, who was still lying on the body, reached out and took out his cell phone from his trouser pocket and put it into his own pocket.

As if some switch had been touched, Du Xiaoyu's legs twitched, his eyelids rolled, and he opened them anxiously.

He sat up in a daze, looking confused: "Brother Qi, why am I lying here?"

"Have you forgotten? We came to the temple to explore before, triggered the death point, and were trapped in the temple." Qisi pointed sideways at the temple door, "Now we should have survived the allotted time, Mrs. Xu is here to take us out ”

Du Xiaoyu finally remembered the whole story, stood up unsteadily, and looked around cautiously.

After seeing the two statues kneeling under the shrine, his expression changed and he took a few steps back with lingering fear.

Mrs. Xu knocked on the door twice more at the right time and shouted at the top of her lungs: "Something happened in the morning, and it was because we didn't entertain you well. Now that the matter is almost settled, you guys can go back with me."

Du Xiaoyu didn't want to stay in the temple any longer. When he saw the encouraging eyes of Monk Qisi, he rushed to the temple door and pulled the bolt.

The temple door slowly swung open, revealing Sister-in-law Xu's wrinkled face covered with white powder: "If you three want to come to the Xi Temple, you should tell me, my old lady, otherwise what will happen if something goes wrong?"

Qisi's eyes fell on the bell on Mrs. Xu's waist, and he asked knowingly: "What will happen? I heard from Mrs. Xu that the Goddess of Joy is the goddess who protects you, so she won't be disadvantageous to us, right?"

Sister-in-law Xu said with an apologetic smile: "Although the Goddess of Joy was a good fairy, she was still young when she died. She was still a little girl, and her temper was good and bad. Every forty-nine years, her temper became bad. Damn, we have to hold a grand banquet to make her happy."

Qisi lowered his eyes, pretending to be worried: "Miss Xi'er passed away and the banquet was ruined. Isn't something going to happen?"

Sister-in-law Xu smiled: "The people in our town will take care of it. Just have fun and look good, so you don't have to worry."

She turned her back unsteadily, her inverted tapered legs swinging nimbly on the stone road, and soon walked five meters away.

Du Xiaoyu had just woken up from a coma and was still not very conscious. He quickly followed him without thinking too much.

Shang Qingbei had already retreated to Qisi when he let Du Xiaoyu open the door. At this time, he was walking side by side with Qisi, falling far behind.

The white fog in the alleyway has dissipated, and the pale and cold sun hangs high above the head, giving the white walls and black tiles on both sides a layer of photo exposure color. There was not a shadow in the bright house, nor the presence of ghosts. The previous encounter seemed to be just an illusion.

Shang Qingbei said in a low voice: "Is there something wrong with Du Xiaoyu? He is lying there, and the two statue ghosts don't go to him, but to us. Does he have the kind of props that can divert the attention of ghosts? ?”

"No. If he really had that kind of prop, he wouldn't be so scared." Qis pretended not to hear the intention of provoking discord, shook his head and smiled, "I suspect that the ghosts in this copy have unique attack rules, such as not Attacking people in their sleep - who knows?"

Shang Qingbei complained "bullshit" in his heart, but didn't say much.

In the silence, Qisi suddenly asked: "Sister-in-law Xu, how did you know we were in the temple?"

Mrs. Xu smiled and said, "There are only so many places in this town. I guessed it right, old lady."

The tone of these words was so fake, but Qisi said no more.

He has already made a judgment.

Xu Wen knew that the players had arrived at Shuangxi Town, and Mrs. Xu knew that the three of them were at the Temple of Happiness. If these two NPCs were excluded from the option of opening the Sky Eye, then there was only one possibility left: there was something on the players that could be located.

The only item that is carried by the player and belongs to this copy is the mobile phone.

Shang Qingbei thought of something and murmured: "Even if Xu Wen and Mrs. Xu are not in the same group, they are probably ghosts and can sense the location of something. There is something wrong with that prop phone..."

Qisi said nothing, took out his cell phone from his pocket and held it in his hand. The phone case was as cold as ice, reminiscent of the temperature of a corpse.

He pressed the power button, entered the browser, and searched according to memory.

[Soul-suppressing coffin: There are soul-suppressing nails on the four corners, which can ward off evil spirits and suppress ghosts. There is a vicious corpse in the coffin town, and the resentment will not dissipate for a long time. Once the coffin is opened, there will be a catastrophe...]

[Soul-Calling Bell: Lead the yang soul out of the body, and bring the yin ghost back to yang. Yin and Yang have no boundaries, and the ringing of the bell returns to black and yellow...]

[Man in the Well: Water belongs to Yin, and the well gathers wealth. The heavier the Yin Qi in the well, the more prosperous the owner's wealth will be; the more Yin Qi accumulates, the greater the blessings...]

Clues outline a seemingly logical and self-consistent worldview:

For the sake of wealth and happiness, people in Shuangxi Town will kill a girl to death on her wedding day every forty-nine years, throw her into a well, and use her yin energy to nourish the well water;

The used corpse was nailed into a soul-suppressing coffin because of too much resentment, and was sent to the Temple of Joy to be suppressed by the Goddess of Joy;

Such perverse actions have turned Shuangxi Town into a ghost town. Only Mrs. Xu can wear a soul-calling bell to prevent the players from noticing anything strange.

But what if... the clues provided in the phone are fake?

Who said that anything written in black and white cannot be a lie?

After eliminating the messy information, many details that were previously ignored emerged one by one:

Let the guests stay at Xi'er's house, saying that it is the only place with vacancies...

Zhang Sheng's sister was so beautiful that she disappeared near Shuangxi Town...

There was blood on the windowsill... There were thick calluses on Xi'er's fingers from holding the pen...

The coffin that makes a cry...the lyrics accompanied by the suona...

The old man in the temple said that the people in the town who have been suspended for seven days...

All this information points to another completely different world view, but it is subconsciously ignored by players because of the misleading clues in the mobile phone.

It has to be said that the person who set up this situation has a very accurate grasp of people's hearts.

Putting the mobile phone on Liu Bingding, and then Qisi led the players to search it out, making people preconceptionally believe that it was a key prop.

The novelty of electronic devices appearing in the game prompted players to immediately explore their mobile phones and see the photos and entries of [Soul Coffin].

The scene of blood seeping from the coffin in the photo matched the strange atmosphere of the dungeon and was convincing; the phone call from Xu Wen interrupted the players' thinking, and even Qiss ignored it: the information of the entry was not in the system interface Refresh on.

Most of the information Xu Wen provided on the phone was falsified. After noticing the superficial trap, Qisi failed to realize that there was a bigger lie hidden under the superficial illusion.

The weirdness in the photo is reflected in the copy, which gives psychological hints about the authenticity of the clues; and the subsequent process of taking pictures, reading pictures, and obtaining clues gives people the illusion of initiative.

A big net has been woven silently since the player entered the instance, and it tightened slowly and gently until everyone was included in it.

In fact, the moment the clue "Man in the Well" appeared, Qisi vaguely realized that something was wrong, so he took a series of measures such as deleting photos and encouraging Xi'er to commit suicide.

He felt that he was being induced and manipulated, and he wanted to break the layout that existed behind the scenes through random actions.

But it doesn't help.

"In addition to misleading information, false clues and fake props were also used? So that's it, that's it..." Qisi raised his hand to cover his eyes, laughing silently.

Because it is a fake prop, Qi can change the power of the phone at will, and he can also delete the photos on the phone at will...

If the clues on the phone were true, how could Weird Games allow him to change them at will and use such a simple and crude method to create information gaps?

"The deception on the props is actually not completely invisible. The timeline is in 2008, but the mobile phone model is so new, which has its own problems. But I regarded this as an oversight in a weird game and subconsciously ignored it."

"I entered the dungeon too late and lacked experience, but I carelessly let go of some details; I also had biased judgments on some high-ranking entities. In some places, I was still too dismissive and took it for granted..."

Zeiss stored the lessons learned in his memory, never forgetting to laugh at himself from beginning to end.

He is not a god and cannot be omniscient or omnipotent. All he can do is sum up the experience of failure from time to time and be more careful and cautious in the future.

He stretched out his index finger and wiped his lips, thinking more clearly than ever before: "The situation has not reached an irreversible point. The fake props created by that existence can be changed by my contract, which shows that his status is not as high as I imagined. Dealing with me is not dictated by the rules, so the guaranteed death toll mechanism should still be in effect."

"He can concoct false information, but cannot bury or destroy real clues. The roles of mobile phones and Li Yao overlap, and can even be said to be opposites and contradictions. If the mobile phone is fake, then Li Yao's identity is questionable …”

Li Yao's words reappeared in his ears one by one.

‘Li Yao, the fifth time. I mainly write supernatural novels and know a lot about folklore. ’

‘Seven in Taoism is the child of the yang number and the intersection of yin and yang. The first seven souls return to the world to pay off the debt of gratitude and end the fate of the mortal world. ’

‘The Feng Shui pattern of the Xi Temple is very strange. When I passed by the temple gate, I took a look inside. The yin energy inside was very strong, feeding ghosts and eating themselves, as if they were trying to fight poison with poison to suppress something. ’

Weird Games has never explained the number of players in this instance. Who are the players and who are the NPCs? Who can tell clearly?

Qisi narrowed his eyes and asked, "Sister-in-law Xu, did you see Li Yao on the road? She is the girl who came with us."

Mrs. Xu stopped and turned to look at him. She slowly opened her toothless mouth and revealed a dark smile: "Where are the girls? There are only four of you here, all young men."

Wow hahahaha, can’t you guess?
