Infinite weird games

Chapter 293 Colosseum (IX)

"Do you think we are gods? I want to ask, why do you think so?" Chu Xun raised his eyes and asked the rat man.

All the snakes and rats in the room said in unison: "What we have seen and dreamed about, God is like you. In the dream, God told us that the newly elected God will satisfy our desires."

Fan Zhanwei said in a smooth tone: "Question one, what is your definition of God, please describe it from an abstract level and a concrete level. Question two, what is the process and model for selecting gods, please tell me the source of the information."

"God is God, a great being who can satisfy all our desires. Only He can save us." The voices of the rat people were layered one after another, forming a stirring echo, "God told us in our dreams that the beast fighting game The victor will become a new god in the feast of death."

Dong Xiwen complained in a low voice with empty eyes: "You all said that you saw it in a dream, so it seems that I have to believe it..."

The girl named Qin Mu held the cat face mask and waved to the rat man: "You can come closer, we won't eat you... By the way, you all dreamed about gods, why don't you just go to the place you dreamed about? A god will save you?"

The rat people invariably raised their snake-headed flying paws to cover their faces, and said painfully: "The old god has no desires, and no longer needs our desires. He abandoned us and only told us to use desires to forge idols for the new gods. , everything you wish for can come true'.

The red snakes all over the room were twisting wildly, like water plants washed back and forth on the bottom of a lake, waving irregularly, as if they were remembering the sad past and looking for an outlet to vent.

Liu Yuhan asked: "What is your desire? How can we save you?"

"Blood! We need God's blood! As long as we drink God's blood, the curse will be lifted..."

The rats' heads opened their mouths, revealing sharp teeth covered with flesh and blood. From certain angles, you could even see patches of lesions in their throats, patches of red and white, like a brick wall with peeling skin.

The pungent smell of lime filled the room, and the snakes squirmed to form dense waves, flying towards Qisi and Nianfu. Each snake opened its mouth wide, and its sharp fangs reflected the cold light, as if they wanted to risk everything. Sucks a mouthful of blood from the player's body.

"Let us take a sip, just one sip... We are in so much pain, please save us..."

"Go to death, it's better if you die, no one will suffer anymore..."

The mixed shouts exude undisguised malice, and the overwhelming swarm of snakes seems to want to devour the player.

Nian Fu kept whipping his whip, throwing out sparks one after another, and managed to keep the snakes at bay.

When she turned around, she saw Qiss standing half-dead, with the bloody pendulum hovering listlessly around him, looking passive and slacking off at work.

Nian Fu gritted his teeth and said: "Qisi, although I am a force player, I may not care about you at this time..."

"I don't have any other weapons or props." Zeiss said honestly, "And I think the Sphinx is right. I have no desires. There is no difference between life and death to me."

Nian Fu flicked his whip, almost preventing the snakes from breaking through the defense line and rushing over: "I spent 1,400 points to form a team with you, and almost offended everyone. How dare you have such an attitude now?"

Qisi lowered his eyes and looked at a place near the ground. The old god touched his chin on the ground: "When investing, you must be prepared to lose all your money. I am about to die. What does it have to do with me whether you make a profit or a loss?" "

He said this in a completely natural tone, as if he felt this from the bottom of his heart, and had already formed a set of self-consistent logic.

Nian Fu was stunned.

She suddenly realized that she didn't know Chiss well. She just assumed that the latter, like most people, resisted death and wanted to live.

In this way, she can take advantage of Zeiss's survival instinct, lend a hand in times of need, extend an olive branch in desperate measures, and seize the help of this intelligent player who spares no effort.

But what if Qisi is not a normal person, but a madman who will kill himself with a knife?

She only inferred how powerful Qisi was from Chang Xu's effort to deal with Qisi, but no one had ever stipulated that a strong person could not be mentally ill...

Nian Fu only felt that the hope in his heart had cooled down, and what was left was more worry and regret.

——If Zeiss really dies, what should she do if she is left alone? Do we really want to drag "that person" down and give her another hand?

"As expected." Qisi suddenly clicked and took out the [Poseidon Scepter] from the item list and held it in his right hand.

[Name: Poseidon Scepter]

[Type: props]

[Effect: Gives you the ability to play god. (The more sins absorbed, the stronger the effect)】

After being baptized by the copy of "Frog Hospital", [Poseidon Scepter] has evolved from the original "looks more like a god" style to allow players to actively play gods, and in essence has unique The powers of the lesser gods - though most are only usable in the game space.

The white scepter, which has absorbed enough evil, is covered with black lines, and the shadow of golden vines surrounds Qisi, making the young man in red look sacred and noble.

The rat people almost wishfully believed that the player was a god. As a player, Ziss took out the scepter belonging to the god at this moment. The milky white light enveloped him like the shell of a sculpture. He had no wings, but in the eyes of the rat men, he was a true god.

After all, if he wasn't God, who could be?

The Skaven were awed and wanted to retreat, but that timidity was soon replaced by a stronger, unreasonable desire.

They want to pierce the flesh of God, suck the blood inside, and fill the gap of desire.

They...wanted to eat God.

"Do you want our blood?" Qiss lowered his wrist slightly, tilted his scepter forward, and looked down at the approaching snakes with half-lowered eyes, as if he were a god who suddenly descended into the world to satisfy the desires of the world.

The rat people said "yes" in unison. After realizing that Zeiss might really be willing to satisfy them, their aggressive attitude gradually subsided, and they returned to the humble way of praying for blessings from the beginning.

"Okay." Zeiss said with a smile.

Nian Fu's heart was ringing with alarm bells.

Although the snakes no longer attacked, instead of relaxing, she thought of a worse development——

Could it be that Qiss really didn’t want to live anymore and planned to die here?

Just as she was hesitating, she felt a pain in her arm.

Qiss took out a blade from somewhere and without warning, drew a shallow blood mark on her right arm.

"Fuck!" Nian Fu swore a curse word reflexively. His first reaction was that Qisi, an antisocial element, wanted to hold him back before he died, so he immediately put the iron whip on Qisi's neck with his backhand.

Qisi didn't even struggle, he just stared at the wound on Nianfu's arm intently, as if it were some strange handicraft.

Blood seeped out slowly from the scratches, and a drop of blood slid down the smooth arm to the ground, seeping into the stone, like a finishing touch that added color to the painting.

All the rat men's eyes were focused on the blood beads, greedily and covetously.

The long-suppressed desire has been mobilized as early as after meeting the player. As the situation develops and the appearance of the scepter is laid out step by step, it reaches its peak at this moment.

Just a sip, they thought...

Nian Fu was shocked to find that the rat people's movements slowed down, and a strange white color began to spread in all directions from every corner of their bodies, quickly covering all parts including the rat heads and snake bodies.

It wasn't the fleshy sores and sores, but something rougher, akin to the ash of marble.

In just a few seconds, the rat people were completely covered by gray-white lime, which condensed into a hard shell on their surface.

They were completely motionless, like stone sculptures by an artist, still in twisted postures and strange appearances, occupying most of the corners of the room.

"What's going on? Is it related to my blood?" Nian Fu could realize that there was a connection between the two, but that was all.

She had no idea of ​​the principles or logic and could only ask Qiss, who was obviously the instigator.

Qisi's neck had been strangled by Nian Fu with an iron whip for a while, and a circle of green indentations like a necklace had been carved into the place where the force was applied.

He was not breathing and said feebly: "Can you let me go first?"

Nian Fu put away the whip in embarrassment.

Zeiss calmly wiped away the burn marks left where the skin touched, sat down on the straw bed, and answered patiently: "I saw white lime in the mouths of those rat men, as if some flesh and blood had been replaced. Like a stone.

"I also noticed that the same changes occurred on your ankles, but there was nothing on my body. I think the biggest difference between you and me is that I have no desire."

Nian Fu subconsciously lowered his head and looked at his ankle. Sure enough, it was covered with large pieces of lime at some point, as if it had been rubbed from the faded wall.

She reached out and pressed it, and it felt hard, as if it were real marble, replacing her ankle.

What's even more frightening is that the gray-white color is slowly infecting the surrounding area, as if eating away at her flesh inch by inch.

Nian Fu kept his expression unchanged so as not to show his timidity in front of his teammates.

Ziss continued without even looking at her: "As for people turning into stones, I thought of the story of Medusa. Anyone who looks directly into Medusa's eyes will turn into stone, and Medusa It is the embodiment of desire.

"So I guess that one of the mechanisms of this copy is that beings with desires will continue to be petrified."

Nian Fu tried not to look at his ankle and thought: "Are you talking to me like that to extinguish my desire?"

"It's just an experiment." Qisi said lukewarmly, "Human desires are endless, and even if one desire is shattered, the next one will soon appear.

“The only purpose of what I said was to make your desire subside temporarily so that I could verify something.

“I saw that the area covered with lime on your ankles quickly shrank, and I determined that the degree of petrification was directly related to the size of your desire.

"So, I used some means to stimulate those rat people and amplify their desires."

Qisi stood up and glanced at the ferocious-looking stone sculpture of snake and rat, with a sarcastic smile on his lips.

He put the Poseidon's scepter back into the toolbar and stretched out his fingers to lightly touch the surface of the stone sculpture.

The stone sculpture collapsed at the first touch and scattered into white gravel. It was quickly absorbed by the ground and became part of the marble floor. No trace of its existence can be seen with the naked eye.

"So you slashed my arm and bled it for them to see?" Nian Fu took out the bandage, wrapped it around the wound, and sneered, "How are you sure that your guess is correct?

"What if you guess wrong and they swarm up and suck all my blood?"

"I have a coagulation disorder, and the bleeding will not stop if I get hurt." Qi Si said vaguely, "If I am so unlucky, I will remember your sacrifice and burn incense for you every New Year and festival."

Nian Fu: "Hehe."

Qis looked up at the ceiling: "Enough of the gossip. The most urgent thing is to figure out what those rat people mean when they say that God is our appearance."

Lin Chen sent relevant information at the right time, and Qi Si continued to answer himself: "In the Bible, God created humans in his own image, intending to let them manage animals on his behalf.

"Unfortunately, the newly born humans only have the instinct to survive, which is no different from other animals. It was not until they stole the fruits of good and evil and had desires that they truly separated from animals. "

Qis paused and slowed down his speech: "The difference between humans and animals is that humans have desires, so what is the difference between God and humans?

"If gods have no desires, then what is the difference between gods and animals? Why can the winner of the beast fighting game become a god?"

Nian Fu held his chin and pondered for a moment, teasing mischievously: "I now feel more and more that my investment in you is right. You have no desires, which is a natural advantage in this copy.

"You don't have to worry about turning into stone, and you may even become a god directly in the future. I think you will win this beast fighting game. "

Qisi said nothing.

He didn't think he would win, but he had a strong premonition that he would die.

Too many people wanted to kill him, not just Chang Xu and other players.

A person without desires is not suitable to stand in the center of the stage. At this moment, he is more like a bargaining chip for other players to gamble with.

A person without desires cannot stay in the world for a long time. He doesn't think death is so terrible, so he won't struggle hard to survive.

Only gods have no desires, and now he is just an inhuman monster disguised as a god, not a god in the true sense.

There seems to be something missing in the middle, not on the material level, but on the abstract spiritual level, which is difficult for him to understand without desires...

"Maybe." Qisi smiled coldly, "I really want to win. After all, the environment and food here are too bad. I don't want to stay here forever.

"If I really die unlucky and get eaten by those ugly ratmen, I will be so disgusted that I want to poke my eyes out."

Nian Fu also smiled: "Then in order not to die here, do our best to win to the end." (End of this chapter)
