Infinite weird games
Chapter 312 Colosseum (End)
Qisi's resurrection plan is based on Chang Xu's choice.
At the end of the copy of "Frog Hospital", Lin Chen used the effect of [Doctor Beak] on him, but it failed to have any impact on him, which proved that the resurrection mechanism of [Doctor Beak] was useless to players in a ghost state.
Even if he bleeds out the last drop of blood, according to the description of [Immortal], he will only fall into eternal sleep, not death, and naturally cannot achieve resurrection.
Therefore, he must die once in a real sense, let his soul fall into hell, and then be brought back to the human world.
In this copy, the only way to kill him is to make a wish to the Sphinx.
Qisi is betting that Chang Xu will find the Sphinx to fulfill his wish to kill him in order to save others.
He won the bet.
…
Lin Chen was in the "Colosseum" in another time and space, and was surrounded by a cage made of golden vines. Surrounded by him in the cage were his teammates.
"Kill him and become a god." The god with black hair and golden eyes declared indifferently, with no compassion or kindness in his eyes.
The teammates retreated to the edge of the cage, looked at Lin Chen warily, and muttered in a low voice: "Lin... President Lin, we should be able to leave the dungeon in three minutes, right? As long as we wait three more minutes, we will all I can survive..."
Lin Chen ignored this teammate who was already in disarray and confused.
He raised his eyes, looked directly into the god's eyes, and asked, "You need a god to be born from the Colosseum, right?"
"Yes." God was surprisingly patient, "You have witnessed the death of the Lord of Life, so you naturally know that many divine positions are now vacant. I hope to fill these vacancies before the rules wake up next time."
Rules? Lin Chen heard the relevant secrets from Qisi. Obviously, the god also knew that Qisi had told him these things, so he said them as common sense without explanation.
He remembered the end of the copy of "Frog Hospital" not long ago. The ground shook violently like a drumhead being beaten by a drumstick. Splashing pool water, black smoke-like ghosts and fragments of frog corpses danced wildly in the air. Vast and surging sorrow enveloped him, as if attending a world funeral.
It was the death of a god. All the player did was pull out a screw from a huge machine, and he was forced to stop and watch after passing by.
At that time, Lin Chen was still a newcomer who had just become an official player. He followed Qisi and acted according to Qisi's plan.
He would never forget such a scene: Under the fluttering golden vines and leaves, Ziss in a white coat fell in a pool of blood, with a deathly cold heart...
The past scenes clearly emerged before my eyes, as if everything that happened at this moment was a continuation of a situation that had no time to end, and was about to come to an end here.
When I look into it carefully, it’s not an exaggeration to say that it feels like yesterday. I only picked up a copy of "The Ghost". Why does it feel like a lifetime in less than two weeks?
God asked, "You will save him, won't you?"
Lin Chen said: "Yes."
There is a scarlet leaf suspended at the bottom of the dark consciousness, embedded as deeply as a bloody scar, and swaying like a warm and bright fire.
At a certain moment, it flickered twice and went out, falling like a frozen butterfly in late autumn and falling into the vast blackness.
Lin Chen suddenly understood the meaning of Li's previous sentence, "Time is running out."
Zess couldn't wait too long. He had to make a choice as soon as possible before the copy of "Colosseum" where Zess was located was closed.
The teammates listened to the almost dumbfounded conversation between Lin Chen and the god. They were confused and felt that the president of the unnamed guild, "Lin Crow", was becoming more and more unfathomable. He could actually communicate with a god-level being on an equal footing. He even witnessed the death of gods.
He mentally planned to go to the game forum to post gossip after clearing the dungeon, but he saw Lin Chen walking towards him step by step, with complicated emotions in his dark eyes.
"I'm sorry, I will resurrect you later." A soft voice spread in his ears, and the next second he felt a chill on his neck, and the pain exploded with every word.
Lin Chen put the bloody blade back into the toolbar, stopped looking at the limp and drooping bodies of his teammates, and focused his gaze on the god's golden eyes again: "As you asked, I will kill him."
This was the first time he had killed an innocent person with his own hands.
In the copy of "The Ghost", he could still stand on the high ground and feel unfair for Tang Yu's death; but now, after being truly caught in a dilemma, he finally recognized himself.
He is no different from Qiss, and he is not as beautiful as he imagined. He is just an ordinary person with selfish motives.
There is a difference between closeness and distance. If he really had to make a choice, he would be willing to trade other people's lives for Qisi's survival.
"Okay." God said, whether to express approval or simply to show that He knew this was happening.
The vines that built the cage suddenly broke, and scattered light spots floated faintly, clinging to Lin Chen's body surface.
The system interface disappeared, and props, identity cards, and skills existed in a state between entity and consciousness, and could be perceived and called upon by him at any time.
A large amount of information was poured into Lin Chen's mind, and the history of the "Colosseum" copy was revealed before his eyes.
The king of humanity in the Golden Age sat on the throne, with strange black smoke billowing from the altar in front of him. The old god in white robes was pierced through the chest by a black sickle, and the new god descended from the sky and issued an edict to create evil.
The marble Colosseum rose from the ground, and humans used oracles as an excuse to satisfy their desires and indulge in entertainment. The newly descended gods decisively abandoned the unruly humans and gave animals the wisdom that was originally unique to humans.
A huge war broke out between animals and humans, and billowing black smoke almost filled the entire world. A large number of sins were caused by bloody deaths and were collected in the ruined temples of the old gods.
Unfortunately, the war ended soon, and the animals began to indulge in pleasure like humans. God divided them into classes and used pain to brew new contradictions, but ultimately could not squeeze out more sins.
They were also no longer willing to take risks, and became hypocritical, greedy and bad. They played the game of fighting beasts to avenge the abuse of humans in the past, and gradually embarked on the old path of entertainment to death.
So, God once again turned his attention to humans...
The worldview background is somewhat different from that presented in the epic, but there is not much difference in the general direction.
Lin Chen's consciousness was clearer than ever before, as if he was no longer subject to physiological limitations and physical constraints. His soul and mind were integrated into the ocean of information, and he could take more from it at any time.
Floating in the ocean with knowledge were a large number of bloody images: the beasts that shared the human body raised their heads, and their teeth with meat hanging on them flowed blood; the well-dressed nobles took whips and wantonly whipped the crouching slaves; the hunched rats were driven into the dark underground, with scars all over their bodies...
The uncomfortable images were wrapped in black smoke, like the sacrifices on the ancient sacrificial field, and were presented to him, as if they would be integrated into his bones, blood and soul, and become part of his body.
He asked God: "What are these?"
"Sin." God replied, "Rules feed on gods, and what they eat is the most concentrated sin gathered in gods."
The description of the words was very simple, but it was like turning on a switch to light up a string of knowledge in the ocean of information.
Lin Chen saw the golden light particles rising and falling like the tide, countless spots symbolizing life squirming in every corner of the world, and faint threads connecting the spots and light particles, with lingering black smoke entangled on them...
He suddenly realized that the gods had made many attempts to create and collect sins, trying to find or create new sources of sins. The strange game was one of them, and the Colosseum was another...
For a few moments, he even saw a long bronze table, with gods of various appearances sitting on both sides of the long table, including tentacles and fish. The sea god with his head raised, the Lord of Life holding a baby, and Li in black clothes and golden eyes...
This is a banquet of the gods. They seem to be discussing something fiercely. The being in red clothes on the main seat made a downward gesture, raised his head, and revealed a familiar face...
"I understand." Lin Chen closed his eyes and said in a hoarse voice, "The source of sin is killing, harm and pain. You hope to collect a lot of sin through war, so you create the opposition between animals and humans.
"After one side indulges in peace and enjoyment, the other side will rise up and resist, and it will repeat over and over again. In this way, you can continuously provide sin to the rules and avoid the fate of being eaten..."
The god said: "Your understanding is not wrong."
Lin Chen saw himself at the banquet of the gods. He was dressed in a black robe and was hung high by chains and vines. A lot of black smoke gathered through him and was transported to the sky along the silk thread. At a certain moment, he broke and scattered like glass.
He asked: "Why must players become gods? Those animals have been in this world longer, can't they become gods? "
"I tried, but failed. "The god said, "They naturally despise wisdom, worship instinct, do not know how to curb their desires, and naturally cannot become the carrier of other people's desires."
Lin Chen's eyes flashed with the stone statues of the rat people and the shadows of various animals bathing in the blood pool. A huge elephant-shaped stone statue was carried by lions and leopards and put into the pool water. It came back to life in just a few seconds.
All animals are cursed. When their desires grow to a certain extent, they will turn into stone statues as a form of control and screening.
But the difference is that other animals can safely enjoy the blood accumulated after killing humans, but the rat people have to fight in person to get a few drops of blood.
The mechanism of removing the curse with blood is not out of the compassion of the gods, The gods are just using this to push animals and humans into a life-and-death situation, forcing the two major groups to develop as they expect.
It is precisely because they may be slaughtered by animals for blood at any time that the heroes among humans actively participate in the beast fighting game. After all, things will not get worse anyway...
God does not love the world, nor does he love any existence. God is God. Although he has a higher status and powerful power, he also struggles to survive like wild beasts.
Lin Chen was silent for a long time, looking at the god named "Li" and said: "You are eager to promote a new god, it should not be just to fill the vacancy. You said, 'Rules feed on gods', when the rules wake up again, I will be his food, right?"
Li said: "Yes. You have no choice."
"I understand. "Lin Chen uttered these four words again.
He turned around and squatted in front of his teammate's body, with the shadow of the [Bird-beak Doctor] card in his hand. Two black cards were turned upside down in front of him, and he casually pulled out one of them -
[Upright].
When in the upright position, one of the dead in the copy can be resurrected.
Black feathers covered the wound on the neck of the corpse. The teammates' pale faces returned to rosy, and their eyes slowly opened. They were frightened after seeing Lin Chen: "Lin...President Lin, don't...don't kill." I!"
Lin Chen said calmly: "It's okay, you're alive."
He stood up again and looked at Li: "Let everyone leave, and then take me to see Qiss - just like you promised."
…
Once the space-time fragments of all copies of "Colosseum" were gathered together, the surviving players in the space where Lin Chen was located turned into white light and disappeared one after another, and at the last moment they heard the NE clearance prompt.
Lin Chen knew that he was destined to be a sacrifice according to the rules, and death was not allowed before that. He looked indifferent, and the moment he entered the "Colosseum" where Zeiss was, he activated the effect of [Doctor Beak] again.
He gave Qisi one life and had two left, but he never had the chance to return the favor. He will stay here forever, just like Tang Yu will always stay in the copy of "The Ghost".
He broke his promise and failed to survive to the end and clear the final copy as Tang Yu expected. But he couldn't think of a better solution...
In the vast and lofty heaven and earth, Chang Xu's figure was suspended in front of the golden eyes of the god. Qisi's red-clothed figure flashed like a ghost and thrust the Poseidon's scepter into the former's chest.
The Skaven followed their god to the surface, tearing everything apart with long-simmering rage. They lifted up the floor tiles of the Colosseum, exposing the pool of blood surging underneath. Their anger became even more raging as the resources they usually coveted were lavishly occupied by those in high positions.
Because of their larger size, the elephants were not swept away by the strong winds, so they immediately became the targets of their attacks. They swarmed up and angrily bit off the rough skin.
The elephants neighed in pain and shook their trunks in fear, but because their bodies were too bulky, they could not hurt the agile rat-men at all. Their voices gradually died down, and soon they turned into skeletons with bloody flesh.
Qisi quietly looked at the mess in the field, slowly put his hand on his heart, and felt the pounding heartbeat.
The luxuriant scarlet leaves deep in the palace of thought resonated with the [Scarlet Priest] card and the [Poseidon Scepter], elevating his soul and vision to an unprecedented level.
He was resurrected, not as a ghost, but as a being between man and god.
The bright colors flow into the picture scroll in the field of vision, the originally faded world is repainted with bright colors, the soul and body are salvaged from the dead, and the five senses are gradually restored, making people feel sincerely happy.
Qisi half-closed his eyes and glanced slightly sideways, looking at Lin Chen who was standing in the distance looking at him.
The connection between contract and faith was re-established, and the bloody thread was connected between the two again. The moment he noticed, he learned what happened to Lin Chen, and also knew that the latter had made the decision to sacrifice.
He looked back, stared into Li's golden eyes, and smiled sincerely: "Look, I won the bet and lived to the end. I think we should be able to talk calmly."
He raised his hand and pointed at Lin Chen: "Then first - I want to take him away as a bet for you to pay." (End of Chapter)
