Infinite weird games

April 23, cloudy.

When Qi Si woke up, it was already 12 noon, and there were only two hours left before the agreed time to enter the dungeon.

He stayed in bed for a while, washed his face briefly, took the elevator downstairs, left the community through the back door, and walked into the busy streets.

After the morning market ended, two rows of fixed shops were left. At this time, all restaurants were busy preparing lunch.

Qi Si walked into the breakfast shop he often went to - perhaps it should be called a lunch shop at this time, but he didn't see the familiar proprietress.

In the smoky store, a young couple set up a simple grill on the counter near the door and grilled barbecue skewers with sweat on their heads.

Seeing Qi Si looking over, the husband raised the skewers of unknown raw materials in his hand and asked: "Brother, do you want to buy a skewer? Three skewers for ten yuan, five skewers for fifteen yuan."

Qi Si was not interested in barbecue. He stood for a while and said, "I remember that this place used to sell egg-filled pancakes."

The husband was stunned, but his wife beside him smiled and said, "You mean Sister Wang's egg-filled pancakes? Sister Wang is going back to her hometown, and she sold the store to us in the past half month."

The husband came back to his senses and added, "I don't know when she can come back. She said that if she can't come back, she will continue to rent it to us."

Qis nodded to show that he understood.

He suddenly remembered that the last time he came here was also such a cloudy day. The proprietress seemed to have mentioned to him that she would go back to her hometown in two days to attend a friend's funeral.

I am too old, and I have seen the death of my peers. It is not impossible for me to stay in my hometown to enjoy my old age and not come back.

Qis's thoughts extended endlessly, affecting his mood and feeling inexplicably irritated. I don't know if it was because he found that his memory had deteriorated or because he didn't like the changes in the familiar environment.

In the past, I got used to the people, objects and scenes around me, and always thought that they would always exist and interact with each other whenever I thought of them; but one day I suddenly realized that everything would change.

Familiar things will be replaced by unfamiliar things, and familiar people and relationships may suddenly become unfamiliar faces.

That undoubtedly means trouble and variables, especially in such gloomy and humid weather, which is really not a good sign.

Qi Si approached the counter, took out his mobile phone, scanned the QR code on it and paid 150 yuan: "Fifty skewers of lamb."

The young couple originally thought that Qi Si's temperament was as gloomy as a ghost, and they were a little worried. At this moment, they smiled happily at the same time, and quickly grabbed a handful of lamb skewers from the plastic box behind them and put them on the grill to grill.

Qi Si tilted his head and looked for a while, then said, "Don't grill the rest, pack it up for me to take away."

The husband hesitated: "Brother, how can we not grill the skewers when we sell them..."

The wife next to him quickly nudged him with her elbow, pulled off the plastic bag, stuffed the kebabs in, and smiled at Qi Si: "Okay, I'll pack it up for you in a plastic bag! The plastic bag is originally one dollar each, and if you buy more, you won't be charged."

Qisi pretended not to hear the clumsy little calculation in his words, took the plastic bag and continued to walk along the street.

Just as he turned the corner, he heard a "tapping" sound of footsteps, very light and fast, belonging to animals.

A big black dog stood among the garbage, digging for food with its paws and mouth. After noticing Qi Si's arrival, it came over with its tail wagging.

Qisi hadn't come to feed it for a long time, and it seemed to still remember Qi Si, looking happy to meet him again after a long absence.

It has to be said that animals have much better memory than humans in some aspects. It may also be because there are fewer things that can be stored in the brain, so they can properly handle the little information.

Seeing Qi Si staring at it in a daze, the black dog clumsily raised its two front paws, put them together, and bowed. The turbid dog eyes looked eagerly at the plastic bag in Qi Si's hand.

It opened its mouth wide, and its wrinkled tongue hung down from between its teeth, dripping with sticky saliva.

In order to prevent it from rushing over in excitement and throwing the juice of the garbage everywhere, Qi Si directly poured the whole bag of mutton skewers on the ground.

The black dog got the nod, buried its head to lick the mutton skewers on the ground, and at the same time did not forget to wag its tail faster and more vigorously to thank the owner.

Qi Si threw the empty plastic bag into the trash can, turned around and walked back to the community along the way he came.

It was already one o'clock in the afternoon when he got home. There was still an hour before entering the dungeon. He went to the kitchen to grab a pack of instant noodles, threw it into the pot and cooked it, and quickly solved breakfast and lunch.

After getting ready, he lay on the bed, took out his mobile phone and played Happy Candy Crush for a while. When the time showed two o'clock, he closed his eyes and entered the weird game.

In the game space that looked like a temple, Qi Si slowly opened his eyes, but felt that his hands were heavy, as if he was holding something.

He raised his hand, and after seeing what was in his hand, his eyes narrowed into a narrow line.

This is a smart phone, which looks like the one he often uses in reality. He was still playing Happy Candy Crush on it a second before entering the weird game...

However, this phone seems to be incompatible with the weird game. No matter how Qi Si presses, the screen can only light up for a few seconds, and it cannot be unlocked.

[Warning! (Data deleted) Illegal loading of the game detected... Error! Error! ]

The bloody text crawled all over the system interface and turned into a thin line like bloodshot and spread across the boundary.

Qis subconsciously grasped the Seagod Scepter, and the golden vines bloomed from behind, intertwined with the blood on the system interface, and faded together until they could not be distinguished with the naked eye.

There was no word on the system interface, and the mobile phone in his hand disappeared. There was no evidence to prove what had just happened, but Qis was extremely sure that what he saw before was not an illusion.

After the special bracelet, he accidentally brought his mobile phone into the weird game again...

What is the principle? Is there anything in common between the two?

Lin Chen's voice sounded in his mind: "Brother Qi, you should not have entered the dungeon yet? Can you not enter the dungeon first and come to the guild station? There is something important."

Qis knew that he could not figure out the matter of the bracelet and the mobile phone in a short time, so he simply put his doubts aside.

He stood up and walked a few steps quickly, pushed open the door of the temple, and after entering the Ruins of Sunset, he held the emblem in his pocket and teleported to the Frog Hospital.

There was no sign of Lin Chen in the corridor. There was only a tiger straw bundle quietly placed on the floor, with a note next to it:

[Brother Qi, I played no role in the "Ghost" dungeon. I became the MVP because of your performance points and got the reward prop.

[I already have two summoning props, and this one is useless. I'd better give it back to you. Be careful in the joint operation, take care! ]

Qisi picked up the straw bundle, and the system prompt flashed before his eyes.

[Name: Straw Tiger (Consumable)]

[Type: Prop]

[Effect: Summon a tiger that obeys the prop holder and continues to exist until it is killed. ]

[Note: A certain evil god was obsessed with making handicrafts when he was extremely bored. He made countless strange animals with paper and straw and put them into various worlds. Although they were discarded works, they still contained impressive divine power. ]

This is the reward prop that Lin Chen got for perfectly clearing the "Ghost" dungeon.

He left the props and left, probably because he was afraid that Qi Si would refuse to accept the props and insisted on returning it to him.

Qi Si put the straw tiger into the prop column with peace of mind and returned to the game space.

He did not start matching the dungeon immediately, but entered the game mall and spent 500 points to buy an [prop appearance modification coupon] to use on the cursed pendulum.

The scarlet pendulum was still scarlet after the modification, but at first glance, no one would think of it as a "red pendulum".

It was more like a throwing weapon like a dart, with a black chain tied to the tail connected to a black ring, which made it easy for the owner to take it back after throwing it.

Qi Si put the ring equipped with the cursed pendulum on the middle finger of his right hand, and put the white ring of Kyushu on the little finger of his left hand.

He tilted his head to make sure that nothing was left, and then walked to the full-length mirror.

His original face was reflected in the mirror, with scarlet smudged in his pupils, making his face pale and inhuman.

He raised his foot and stepped into the mirror, letting the darkness fall around him.

...

In Yanghua Town, on the ruins full of bones, Liu Yuhan gritted her teeth and stepped over the piles of ashes, moving her eyes to look around.

The copy of "The Ghost" has been permanently closed and will no longer be put into the game pool, allowing players to randomly match or designate to enter.

She had to spend more points to get a chance to enter the ruins of Yanghua Town, and she could only stay there for an hour.

She knew that an hour would not help, and she also knew that there was a high probability that she would not find any clues, but she still searched among the ruins almost wishfully.

Maybe? Maybe she could find a few words left by that person? Even if it was just a fragment...

Liu Yuhan held the lantern and walked forward step by step. Her trance-like eyes drifted to the upper left corner of her sight, and the words "Evil God Believer" on the system interface.

Previously, she had targeted Lin Chen and wanted to report him to the Jiuzhou Guild and put him on the list of dangerous people, but she was bound by the contract at the last moment, making it impossible for her to turn her thousands of ideas into actions.

For the first time, she knew that the scope of the contract was so wide. As long as she did not cancel the contract, she would not be free...

Fortunately, since she signed the soul contract, she has cleared 26 dungeons.

When the joint action dungeon is cleared at 2 pm, there are 73 dungeons left, and she will be free again.

Unconsciously, Liu Yuhan walked to a huge mirror.

The mirror stretched from north to south, and the edge could not be seen from both sides.

The mirror was bright and clear, reflecting the image of the ruins behind her, like a calm lake, giving people the intuition that they can pass through.

Liu Yuhan tentatively stretched out her hand and reached forward, and indeed penetrated the mirror.

A suction force rose out of thin air, and she staggered into the mirror, and the surrounding scene turned upside down in an instant.

The intact town stood like an illusion, with wooden buildings on both sides and dark mansions in the distance clearly visible, but no one could be seen, only endless nothingness.

This is an empty town, a ghost town.

Liu Yuhan felt a chill on her back, and the cold seemed to penetrate into her heart, condensing into mist, making her feel a sense of confusion.

A gust of wind came, gently blowing the lantern in her hand, and the green candlelight penetrated the thin paper shell, shining green and miserable.

Liu Yuhan looked in the direction where the wind was blowing, there was nothing there, but she inexplicably had an intuition and asked carefully: "Tang Yu, is it you? Are you here?"

There was no response, only the wind was blowing, the tiles were crackling, and the lantern in her hand was shaking.

Liu Yuhan grinned and laughed at herself, and tears fell as she laughed.

[The countdown has ended, and you are about to return to the game space]

The cold electronic sound rang, and the scene of Yanghua Town collapsed into pieces in front of her eyes. When Liu Yuhan's vision was restored to clarity, she had returned to the game space that looked like a study.

Entering the game at this time today, going to Yanghua Town was just a side job. What she really wanted to do was to participate in the joint action of the Jiuzhou Guild.

She volunteered after knowing that Qi Si would participate in this action. She wanted to find out what happened to Lin Chen, who cleared the "Ghost" copy alone.

But, would Qi Si be willing to tell her?

Even if the answer is no, you have to give it a try...

Liu Yuhan raised her hand to wipe her face, put on the white ring issued by the Jiuzhou Guild, opened a large book with a gold-stamped cover on the table, and let herself be sucked into it.

In the game space built with marble and looking like a Colosseum, Chang Xu sat on the stone platform, first put on the white ring on the little finger of his left hand, and then counted the props one by one and put them into the prop column.

In the upper right corner of the line of sight, an identity card with a main color of black was hung high.

On the card, a figure in a black robe embroidered with gold stood solemnly on the high platform, holding an open book in his left hand and a cross pendant in his right hand, as if he was about to read something.

[ID Card: Dark Judge]

[Effect: You can sentence a player guilty, and the dungeon will continue to generate bounty tasks for the player until you die or the ID card is unbound; during the period of the sentence, your existence will continue to be exposed]

This is the ID card he bound to the previous dungeon. The effect is extreme. After learning about it, the Weird Investigation Bureau strictly prohibited him from using it privately.

This ID card seems to have no other use except as an admission ticket to the final dungeon.

But...is it really so?

Chang Xu has experienced the "Hopeless Sea" dungeon and knows that Qi Si's skills are related to the contract and are the same as the skills of the puppeteer.

So after seeing the post about hanging people in "Frog Hospital", he was sure that the massacre player Cheng An described in the post was Qi Si.

The skill is unique, and Qi Si just happens to know Lin Chen. How could it be such a coincidence?

At that time, Chang Xu submitted the above suspicion to the database of the Weird Investigation Bureau, but what he waited for was the news that it was rejected by the headquarters.

Although he was puzzled, he also knew that the news in the forum was far less reliable than the records on the list stone tablet.

Until not long ago, the list records clearly pushed Lin Chen to the forefront, and Chang Xu finally confirmed that Qi Si had definitely become a massacre player and used Lin Chen.

As for why Qi Si's name did not appear in the record...

Chang Xu had partnered with the "pseudo-person" Zhang Yiyu, so he knew that players who had fallen into the ghost could not be on the list stone tablet.

Qi Si was likely to have fallen into the ghost in "Frog Hospital", so there was no clearance record left in the "Frog Hospital" copy.

The clues were connected into a circle, and the logic was perfect. Chang Xu once again asked the Weird Investigation Bureau to include Qi Si in the supervision list.

However, this application still fell into the sea.

Chang Xu gradually came to his senses. The Weird Investigation Bureau might have been infiltrated, and there was a big man who he could not shake who was protecting Qi Si.

He was confined to the framework of the organization and would never have the opportunity to exclude Qi Si, a dangerous person.

——He must transcend the rules.

Chang Xu jumped off the stone platform, pushed open the iron door, and walked in.
