Infinite weird games

Since the 20th century, Xiangcheng has been one of the most prosperous cities in the world. It is adjacent to the seaport and has many connections. All kinds of goods are brought here by trains and ships and then shipped to all parts of the world. People of different skin colors gather here to travel or trade.

In order to serve the economy, the policies here are particularly relaxed, accompanied by freedom of speech, culture and even religion.

Even the Libra Church, which was explicitly designated as a cult by the Federation, has a place here and eventually became a tiger threat, occupying the city at lightning speed.

Bai Ya sat in a bright and clean office, holding the [God's Face] brought back from Jerusalem in his hand, and on the table was the bronze sword "offered" by the leader of the "Red Truth" in the Gulan Autonomous Region.

These two things have been confirmed to be related to the weird game. For some reason, they were buried in reality, like a shocking situation laid many years ago, which was not gradually activated until the main actors stepped onto the stage, allowing clues to surface.

Bai Ya still remembers the last time she saw God 22 years ago. The oracle that existed casually caused the church to pursue for 22 years.

He once asked them to find a child, but for some reason he changed his mind. Her fate was gently moved. She went to the orphanage that the oracle had pointed to, but found nothing.

Later, she heard that a certain church had ignited a forest fire. She rushed over and saw that the fire was inseparable from the weird game. Unfortunately, all traces were destroyed by the fire, and she found nothing in the end.

The oracle and prophecy that God gave before he disappeared were like an absurd mass hysteria. Everyone believed that it was true, but they could not find any real evidence to prove it. They could only scratch their heads and go crazy outside the barrier.

Until not long ago, Zou Yan found the name of God again in the copy of "Rose Manor", which proved that the church's pursuit in the past 22 years was not a madman's dance.

But at that time, Bai Ya was no longer blindly fanatical about God, but was more willing to use reason to analyze God and study how to gain greater benefits from it.

The disappearance of God's name in the past twenty-two years was not an accidental loss, but the erasure of cognition by a higher existence.

God himself has no news, and was also exiled from the world by that existence, as if he had never existed.

The reappearance of God's name has nothing to do with the painful pursuit of the Libra Church, but because He came back at a certain time point, and returned to the weird game from the void of erasure and exile.

This node is the copy of "Rose Manor".

Bai Ya knew that Jiangcheng had a rain that day that was unexpected by the Meteorological Bureau. The damp breath permeated between heaven and earth, painting all the creatures under the rain curtain gloomy.

Just like a welcome ceremony for the returnees, or the prelude of a grand performance, a person named "Qis" entered the weird game.

First, all the people who entered the game and survived on that day were screened out through big data, and then excluded based on age and other characteristics. Finally, a few who met the conditions were left for tracking and observation.

Combined with some additional information, such as the relationship with the power of the contract, the ability to escape from the puppeteer's skills...

The answer is ready to come out.

She should have known all this long ago, but she was frightened when she heard the sudden oracle of God in the Gulan Autonomous Region, thinking that her every move was under the eyes of God.

Now thinking about it, she still underestimated the power of humans and overestimated the power of God.

A god who has been exiled for twenty-two years has just returned to his throne. How much remaining power can he have?

The moment she saw Qis in "The Colosseum", Bai Ya confirmed the identity of the young man and dispelled all the fear and anxiety from Gulan to now, just because she had witnessed the true face of God.

The young man seemed to remember nothing, and his power was also sealed by the effect of a mere identity card, making him look innocent and harmless. Only his words and deeds contained a lot of murderous intent, which made people feel dangerous.

Bai Ya did not intend to act rashly, but hid behind the mask and sent Nian Fu to approach cautiously, and learned about Qi Si through Nian Fu's perspective.

It turns out that God also has weak moments, it turns out that God is not omniscient and omnipotent, and it turns out that God can also... die.

Bai Ya had to admit that although she hoped that God could bring down miracles and inspire believers, for the Libra Church, whose organizational structure has been stabilized, a dead God is the best choice.

But God did not really die, but miraculously survived, and his status seemed to have risen a lot, becoming more dangerous.

Fortunately, she watched coldly from beginning to end, and did not involve herself in the end, so she was able to leave alive under the eyes of God.

But she did not get any benefits, did not stain the bronze sword with God's blood, did not let the [God's Face] work, and even... did not communicate with God.

"Nian Fu, come to my office."

In a small room with simple furnishings and only a vase placed at the head of the bed, Nian Fu heard Bai Ya's order.

She didn't get the promised identity card until she left the Colosseum. Perhaps the qualification to enter the final dungeon was a choice determined by fate, and she was not in the script of the final stage from beginning to end.

She actually had no ambition, but just wanted to be closer to Bai Ya at the last moment, even if it was to block a fatal attack for her, or to cuddle with each other for warmth when she was about to die, at least not to let her face the end alone...

On the way to Bai Ya's office, Nian Fu caught a glimpse of Dong Xiwen peeking out of the corner of her eye.

The two had met in the "Colosseum" dungeon, but they didn't know each other's identities at the time, after all, there were too many people in the Libra Church.

It was probably not until Bai Ya showed his true face at the end of the dungeon that Dong Xiwen realized that there were other "people of his own" in the dungeon - who wouldn't know Bai Ya?

"You went to find Bai... President?"

"What's your relationship with Qi Si?"

Both questions were asked at the same time, and Nian Fu gave a positive answer.

Dong Xiwen's eyes wandered: "He and I... probably have a relationship between a worker who signed a contract to sell himself and a black-hearted boss who made a mistake one day."

Nian Fu said no more and walked past him. No matter what, Bai Ya's call was more important.

At the end of the corridor, Nian Fu knocked on the door of the office and sat down on the chair in front of the desk.

Bai Ya smiled and asked, "Is Dong Xiwen still alive?"

Nian Fu nodded, "He is still alive. I met him when I came here just now. He looked sneaky."

"That's good." Bai Ya said, "God did not give up on him with weak faith. Maybe it's because there are too few chess pieces in his hand."

Nian Fu was surprised by Bai Ya's disrespect, and she had no more feelings. She joined the Libra Church not because of her belief in God, but just because Bai Ya was here.

Then she heard Bai Ya ask, "Nian Fu, why did you join the Libra Church?"

Nian Fu answered without thinking, "It was my sister who took me out of that orphanage. I made up my mind that day that I would go wherever my sister went."

She paused for a moment and added, "Many of us have been saved by you. We all stayed for you."

To repay the favor, not for God.

"Is that so." Bai Ya smiled, a very bright and gentle smile like the sunshine in early spring.

She said, "Nian Fu, can you do me a favor?"

...

Qisi came out of the "Rose Manor" copy and bought a mask to wear on his face, so as not to be rushed by players and asked questions as soon as he showed up.

As he walked to the edge of the player square, he sorted out the information Qi told him in his mind.

First of all, his entry into the strange game was indeed due to Qi's layout.

He was not among the players selected by the strange game plan. Qi made a deal with the puppeteer, letting the puppeteer control Liu Ajiu to die in his studio and send him the game qualification.

In the "Hopeless Sea" copy, Qi and the puppeteer had the last bet on his life and death, and Qi cheated and won the puppeteer. So the puppeteer entered the "Frog Hospital" to resist the aftermath of the God War and helped to pass a message.

Qisi could almost infer most of the information himself. There were a few points that he didn't know occasionally. After experiencing so many things, he didn't think it was surprising.

After Qi finished speaking, Qis asked, "So the puppet master expressed his willingness to cooperate with me, and that was also your intention?"

"Not entirely." Qi said, "But I am indeed about to be eliminated, and the next step is the game between you and him."

Everything is self-evident.

Qis then asked about the special bracelet and mobile phone, although he had already guessed the reason why these two things could be brought into the game.

Qi smiled and confirmed his guess: "Things stained with the blood of gods can travel between the weird game and reality."

Qis said, "I don't remember when I killed a god."

While he was talking, scenes flashed before his eyes: For a while, he was entangled in a strange sense of detachment, always suspecting that his body and consciousness were separated from each other, so he was almost addicted to cutting himself with a blade in an experimental manner.

Only when he felt the pain of cutting his skin and saw the bright red blood flowing from the wound, and these two appeared at the same time, could he have a little feeling that his soul and flesh matched each other and that he still belonged to this world.

I think the special bracelet was soaked with his blood at that time, and as for the mobile phone...

Qis remembered that he had stabbed his left arm with a paper cutter he had just bought from a weird game not long ago, and it seemed that a few drops of blood had splashed on the screen of the mobile phone.

His expression became strange: "You don't mean to say..."

"That's right." Qi's voice was very pleasant, the kind of tone that was about to tell a secret to scare people, "It's been so long, and you didn't guess it at all?

"Qis, or Siqi, you are a god... You are me, and I am you..."

There was a thunder outside the castle, and the water vapor exploded like a gas bomb in an instant, and heavy rain fell.

Qis stood up, and then he heard Qi's wanton laughter, using his voice, and even the tone was so similar, as if there was only one person in this space. He was going crazy alone, his own ghost turned into an evil ghost and sneered.

He reached out to grab the Qi in front of him, his fingers slipped through the shadow, it seemed to be just a projection, an illusion, a virtual image of him reflected in the mirror of time and space...

"'Qi' is my name, because I am in charge of the power of contracts, they also call me 'Si Qi', mistakenly thinking it is a position..." Qi's face was pale in the sudden lightning, at that angle, in that light and shadow, Qis saw his own face in his face.

It was like walking by the river, suddenly lowering your head, and being surprised to see your own floating corpse.

Qi's long hair fell down, and his smile was very gentle. His voice was torn apart by the wind and rain: "Now you are also a 'Siqi'. You chose to be Siqi yourself... Don't make such an expression. I don't mean to laugh at you, because I have made the same choice..."

Qisi maintained his calmness and asked: "What do you want to say? Is there any evidence to prove what you said?"

Qi did not answer. The castle collapsed with a bang. Large pieces of bricks fell from the top of his head, passing through his body and falling to the ground.

Qisi turned around and started running, using the curse spirit to block all the rubble, ran to the sea of ​​flowers outside the castle, ran into the rain all over the world, trampled on the rose petals, and was connected with ghosts, evil spirits, and invisible shadows by the rain.

He was soaked and panting. Looking back, he saw only a shadowy ruin, which looked very much like the ruins that buried Chang Xu and Lin Chen at the end of the copy when he first entered "Rose Manor".

Everything was buried underneath. He suddenly had an illusion, as if he had never escaped from here. There was a person who was buried in the ruins and turned into dry bones. Now standing on the ruins was his residual soul.

His future was locked. He was Qi's past, Qi was his future, and he was destined to become Qi, because this was his choice and the choice of Qi's past...

In the noisy rain, Qi's words continued, so he knew the past of the Ruins of Sunset.

The golden world tree is the embodiment of the rules, and the gods were the first to be born under it.

They hold the authority derived from the rules and execute the will of the rules for a long time.

The rules evolved into the rising and setting of the sun and the moon, spring, summer, autumn and winter, and birth, aging, illness and death; evolved into all things, including humans who claim to be the most intelligent of all things.

Human wisdom and desires exceed the original scope of the rules and become a burden on the operating mechanism that has remained the same for billions of years.

If the rules do not want to collapse under the impact of the tide of thought, they can only recycle a large amount of sin to maintain operation.

The brewing of sin always requires blood and destruction as sacrifices. The world tree is soaked in blood and gradually weathered into a chaotic black.

He is crazy, hungry, and wants to devour something.

He extends his branches to the nearby gods who serve as servants.

And the gods cast their eyes on humans.

The strange game is thus established, and the creatures of various planes become the food of the rules.

The gods are unwilling to be constrained by the increasingly crazy rules, and the existence at the top is always facing the fate of being devoured.

They conspire to rebel in the temple, wanting to use the power of humans to break the shackles of the rules, and finally put it into practice.

Twenty-two years ago, they failed in their attempt. The mastermind was exiled to a godless land, and the accomplices were sealed in various world planes. Only Li was excluded from the conspiracy by the gods and was left by the rules...

Qisi could call up every detail from his memory, but he had no impression of these pictures, as if he was watching someone else's story, and the outline of a movie or a book was instilled into his mind.

Who is he? Who should he be?

Qisi remembered the end of the copy of "Colosseum", when Qin Mu's mask was blown off, revealing Bai Ya's face. There were strange feelings in the woman's eyes, with awe of God and deeper ambitions.

The Libra Church is a dark chess piece that Qi has laid in reality. After taking root for decades, he may know more information; but the Libra Church is not safe for him, and twenty-two years is enough to change a lot.

Qisi did not intend to believe Qi's words, but after learning the new information, he did change his mind and planned to keep Dong Xiwen for a while, at least using him as a starting point to accumulate more knowledge about the Libra Church.

The madman hidden deep in his mind laughed wildly and said, "The fate is written, the ending is already determined, there are no more variables, you are trapped to death..."

He saw the golden river that was tied back and forth and knotted into a Mobius strip, saw a feast in the sea of ​​fire, and saw Qi sitting on the throne with half of his body turned into bones...

But even if it is written, what does it matter?

"Kill the existence that writes fate."

Qis stood on the edge of the steep cliff of the Sunset Ruins, overlooking the huge stone tombs below.

He suddenly jumped down and landed steadily on the broken walls and ruins, and then walked slowly on the uneven ruins according to his memory, and stopped in front of a half-collapsed temple.

The bronze gate stood silently among the rocks, blocking the building behind in vain.

Qi Si put his hand on the door, and a low whisper suddenly rang in his ear: "Your authority and soul are not complete, and you cannot open this door."

At the same time, two lines of silver-white text were refreshed on the system interface.
