Infinite weird games

【The remains of the ancestor god were stranded in the abyss of extreme darkness, and the remaining curses polluted the human race. Evil spirits and demons crawled out of hell, and disasters and sufferings were rampant in the world.

The foolish believers thought that it was the sorcerer who was causing chaos, and the stake was set up in the square in front of the temple, and a steady stream of pagans were tied up.

In the dark age, unfair trials prevailed, disasters never ended, and evil spirits still raged. Amid the calls of the masses, a hero with courage and wisdom stood up.

He found that the root of the curse was the pollution of the ancestor god, and in order to gain the trust of others, he broke into the temple and mutated himself. When humans only dared to judge their own kind, he tried to judge the high and mighty old gods.

Believers and pagans cursed his madness, and because of fear, they all left. He was left alone with only a remnant body, holding a torch and setting the temple on fire.

The fire that lasted for three days and three nights burned everything, and no living creature walked out of the sea of ​​fire, whether it was human or god. 】

[Identity Card Dark Judge]

…

Sunset Ruins, Jiuzhou Guild Base.

Ning Xu sat in the office, with two display screens on the desk, one was playing the live broadcast of the "Colosseum" copy from Lin Ye's perspective, and the other was organizing the live broadcast barrage and related discussions in the game forum into documents in real time.

The verbal battle was boiling, Ning Xu watched from a detached perspective, and calmly sorted out the course of events.

Chang Xu disobeyed the order of the Investigation Bureau, turned off the live broadcast and entered the "Colosseum" copy, activated the effect of the [Dark Judge] card to start the trial of Qi Si, and wanted to kill Qi Si at all costs.

An unknown force intervened from behind, guiding the players to regard this as Jiuzhou's persecution of the new guild, and the previously suppressed contradictions flowed together, making the situation out of the control of either party.

The Investigation Bureau probably knew vaguely what Qi Si had done, so although shocked, they could understand Chang Xu's behavior.

If Fu Jue had not withstood the pressure on his own and stopped other investigators from taking action on the grounds of "don't alert the enemy so as not to affect the plan", Qi Si's residence would have been surrounded long ago, and even he would have been invited to the Investigation Bureau for tea.

No one knew what Fu Jue's plan was. Even the headquarters was confused about the so-called overall situation, let alone the Jiangcheng branch.

The only thing that can be confirmed is that the battlefield between weirdness and reality will be opened in Jiangcheng, because... Fu Jue himself moved his office to Jiangcheng, and except for returning to the Beidu headquarters once a week, he stayed in the Jiangcheng branch most of the time.

The storm was about to come, Ning Xu thought she was very close to Fu Jue and was a capable general under his command, but in the end she found that she actually knew nothing.

And she had no way to deal with it.

In the live broadcast room, the shadow of the [Dark Judge] covered the entire world, and the judge in black clothes and golden eyes threw the cross into the field and hung it above Qi Si's head.

As a backlash of the activation effect, the scarlet king chess condensed on Chang Xu's head, embedded in the dim scene like a bleeding wound, and seemed to indicate fate invisibly.

Chang Xu was not the first owner of [Dark Judge]. The first holder of this identity card was Lin Jue, the president of the Ark Guild, the top of the comprehensive strength list of the weird game at that time, and the young man who died in the Ragnarok 22 years ago.

Ning Xu entered the weird game at the age of twelve and was matched into the same dungeon with Lin Jue.

It was a large dungeon with a harsh environment. Players not only needed to fight against endless emergencies and elusive weirdness, but also had to find ways to fight against extreme cold weather in the ice and snow.

There were too few clues, the main quest was unclear, and the players who went out to explore died one after another, and the players who stayed in the base were also harvested by the invisible god of death.

When everyone was at a loss, Lin Jue activated the effect of [Dark Judge] and the object of judgment was himself.

The alternative option of the main task [Kill Lin Jue] appeared on the system interface of all players, which was undoubtedly much clearer than the original main task.

The young man with a black cross mark hanging on his head smiled and said to everyone: "If I can't find a way to pass the main task before tomorrow, I will commit suicide, so that everyone can pass it."

Lin Jue didn't die that time, perhaps because of the renewed hope, the players actively dispersed to explore new places and collect clues, and successfully passed the dungeon known for its hellish difficulty after six hours.

The effect of [Dark Judge] is still continuing. After each dungeon, Lin Jue will kill himself as the last alternative option until he died in Ragnarok twenty-two years ago.

Ning Xu has been floating in the weird game for twenty-six years, and now she is no longer young; all the people she knows are no longer young, some have long perished in the long river of time, and some are residual souls drowned in the world.

She thought that after all these years, she knew Fu Jue well enough to understand his thoughts and emotions hidden under his icy appearance. But she suddenly realized that the man at the top of the weird game was far from the image in her memory.

He gradually changed from an idealistic boy to a calm and resolute young man, and died at the most blazing and brilliant moment like the sun. He crawled back to the world from hell with another body and face, discarded his original name, and became the so-called "Fu God".

The person who once resisted being over-deified actually began to compete for the illusory throne under the rules...

"People will change, Fu Jue, it's been thirty-six years, have you changed too?"

Through Lin Ye's live broadcast perspective, Ning Xu could see Chang Xu using the black life-breaking sword to split Qi Si's chest, and the sticky blood was thrown out like a ribbon. In the background, the audience seats full of animals were excitedly moving like worms.

She began to think about how the Investigation Bureau would handle this emergency.

Chang Xu escaped from the control of the Investigation Bureau, killed Qi Si, a member of the Unnamed Guild, in public, and triggered public opinion, which dealt a blow to the prestige of Jiuzhou and the credibility of the game forum.

Although there was someone else who really controlled all this, it was indeed him who provided those people with the knife to stab the Investigation Bureau. More importantly... he learned to disobey orders.

This kind of monster that is out of control and has a wide range of ties to the weird game should be contained in the fifth underground floor of the Investigation Bureau, where it will never see the light of day.

Ning Xu is at a higher level and often goes in and out of the fifth underground floor. He has also seen some creatures imprisoned there, such as Zhang Yiyu.

She knew that such an environment was enough to drive people crazy. Even a normal person would become a dangerous lunatic if he lived there for a month, and then someone would say after the fact: "See, it's a good thing that he was locked up in advance."

What if the person locked up was Chang Xu?

Ning Xu remembered that when she first met Chang Xu, he was still a young boy who was as ignorant and cruel as a beast. She brought him back, but she was just following Fu Jue's orders, but she couldn't help but say a few more words to him.

Caring was just a casual act. Any kind-hearted person would behave like that in such a situation, just like a cat lover would feed a stray cat a cat strip. But in any case, Chang Xu was not a stranger to her.

She thought, maybe she could ask the Investigation Bureau for mercy. After all, although Chang Xu killed Qi Si impulsively, it was understandable, wasn't it?

Ning Xu left the guild base, logged out of the weird game from the game space, and returned to reality.

The moment she opened her eyes, she saw countless strange and magnificent scenes. Golden leaves appeared without roots and sources in the air, and were blown to the ground by the strong wind from above; the golden blood river twisted wildly like a diseased vein, and the young man in black stepped onto the shore step by step from the bottom of the river.

The river bit its own tail like a long snake, knotting into a flowing Möbius ring; fragments of clocks and hourglasses flew around the river, and there were also parchment rolls, record players, oracle bones, metal slates, old-fashioned telephones from various regions and times...

All the realities turned into fragments and became servants of this river, flying and flowing in disorder and chaos, and it was impossible to tell the early and late and the first and the last.

Ning Xu felt countless emotions that did not belong to her. The past of those strangers washed over her one after another, painful, joyful, confused, angry, regretful...

Unconsciously, she was in tears. She wanted to close her eyes but could not move. Under the severe pain, her eyes bled, covering her vision with a layer of red blood film.

The world became blurry, and she could not see too many details, which helped her wake up. She heard a shrill alarm.

[Warning! A surge in the amount of weirdness in the nearby time and space was detected, and it is suspected that weirdness above level A escaped]

Ning Xu knew clearly that the weirdness that came at this moment could not be only level A. All kinds of abnormalities can only occur when looking directly at the gods.

A god from a weird game came to reality. Who could it be? How did he come out? Why did he come here?

On the coffee table in Fu Jue's office, a statue of a goddess with a weird appearance was gushing with blood and tears. In a few seconds, her whole body was soaked in blood, and no inch of the original whiteness could be seen.

Ning Xu pushed the door open with great effort and staggered towards the elevator.

She knew that she had no chance of winning against the gods with her strength, but she had to grit her teeth and hold on. Even if she died, she had to control the gods in the Weird Investigation Bureau to avoid causing a larger-scale disaster.

The elevator went up from the fifth underground floor, and the numbers showing the floors changed rapidly. There was only this elevator at the exit of the fifth underground floor. Small nuclear bombs were buried in the walls of other places. As long as they were attacked by weird things above level A, they would explode immediately.

What the investigators needed to do was to guard this only elevator and activate the self-destruct program once they saw something else coming up from below.

Ning Xu and several investigators who rushed over stood at the elevator door. All of them had tears in their eyes and were extremely embarrassed.

None of them knew what would come up from the fifth underground floor; no one knew whether human weapons could kill a god.

The elevator stopped at the first underground floor, which was the floor where the investigators were. The elevator door slowly opened, and standing behind was a tall young man in black, with a pale face and gloomy expression.

"Chang Xu?" Ning Xu called out the man's name, and her heart relaxed for a moment, but was immediately lifted by the crazy jumping danger warning.

She had never seen Chang Xu like this before, extremely rational, sober, indifferent, with no one reflected in his eyes, so dangerous that he didn't look like a human, nor a monster, but like a god.

An investigator who had learned the ending of "Colosseum" in Sunset Ruins took a breath: "Chang... Chang Xu, aren't you dead?"

Yes, Chang Xu was dead, under the bright golden eyes of the evil god, he was stabbed through the chest with a white scepter by Qi Si and killed.

So what is standing here now?

All investigators saw that on the familiar face of Chang Xu in front of them, there was a pair of empty golden eyes, deep in which there were infinite worlds, endless time and space, and countless people's desires...

Like a god, it was a god.

"Let Him go." The investigators heard the order from Fu Jue ringing in the headset.

In fact, even without Fu Jue's order, they could do nothing.

Under the gaze of the god, they were like ants pressed down by fingernails, unable to move, unable to even tremble their lips. For the first time, they realized how stupid the previous plan of detonating the nuclear bomb and dying together was.

They couldn't press the button of the detonator, and could only watch the god who occupied Chang Xu's body walk straight to the stairs and disappear at the end of their vision, without giving them a glance from beginning to end.

Suddenly, everyone fell to the ground with blood flowing from all seven orifices, twisting like centipedes, and becoming stiff little by little...

...

In the single apartment in the south city of Ning Province, Liu Yuhan's body lay quietly on the bed, gradually becoming cold.

In her hand, she tightly grasped a wrinkled page that looked like it had just been torn from a notebook, with contract terms such as mortgage soul written on it.

That was the soul contract she and Qi Si signed in the "Hopeless Sea" copy, which could shuttle between the game and reality and could not be damaged. After she finished the copy, she knew that she was doomed to die, and she just wanted to leave as many clues as possible for the Weird Investigation Bureau.

——Unfortunately, she didn't know that the Weird Investigation Bureau was in a mess under the dual pressure of public opinion and the God's Descent incident, and had no time to deal with these details.

Liu Yuhan's body was found five days later.

The weather in late spring was already very hot, and the body began to rot and stink after being left for a short time. The neighbor next door was frightened by the stench and knocked on her door angrily. After finding that he couldn't knock it open, he had a bad guess and called the Public Security Bureau with a strange look on his face.

The door was pried open by force, and everyone saw the corpse with pus and maggots, the skin and flesh were purple, the limbs were swollen, and it was already faintly turning into a giant.

The police officers who were called felt unlucky, and some of the inexperienced ones didn't even dare to look at the body, and vomited while holding the door.

The forensic doctor performed a hasty autopsy and concluded that it was not homicide. The piece of paper soaked in corpse oil in the corpse's hand was naturally regarded as an absurd fantasy.

The Public Security Bureau investigated the background of the deceased for humanitarian reasons. After learning that her parents had both passed away and only a few relatives were far away in the countryside of another province, they called her.

After learning that the deceased had no inheritance for them to inherit, those relatives all said that they were unable to deal with the funeral.

It took only two days to complete this set of procedures. Liu Yuhan's body was sent to the crematorium for incineration, and the ashes were environmentally friendly and scattered in the mountains that specialize in burying ownerless ashes.

She was like a drop of water merging into the sea, disappearing from this vast world without causing a ripple. (End of this chapter)
