Infinite weird games

The gloomy scene shattered like glass hit by a heavy object. Qi Si found himself still standing in the corridor of the teaching building. The stagnant scenes and characters around him resumed their dynamics.

The thin evening glow illuminated the walls with a yellow glow. The noise of students came from downstairs. The wind blew the waste paper balls in the corridor, making a "swish" sound.

Reiko breathed gently, with a different frequency from the wind, which made the environment more quiet.

Qi Si lowered his head and saw the Rabbit God statue lying quietly on his right hand. After he stared at it for two seconds, a countdown line was refreshed:

[11:59:59 until the next opening of the game "Escape from Rabbit God Town"]

Although this text game embedded in the dungeon will not let the player really die, it is not completely unlimited.

It is only open once every twelve hours, and players can only play it up to fourteen times within seven days. It doesn't seem to be a small number, but if it arouses the suspicion of the NPC in the game, it will fail, so the tolerance rate is not high.

Although he failed after entering the game and saying only a few words, Qi Si still got a lot of information from the text narration and archive at the end.

First, the "Xiao Qi" he played had a certain connection with a being called "evil ghost", but he didn't know why;

Second, he had a family relationship with the head of the Kamu family in Rabbit God Town, and it was not too distant, maybe father and son, grandfather and grandson, or uncle and nephew;

Third, a disaster would happen on the day of the fireworks festival, making Rabbit God Town have no "after", and "Xiao Qi" would also die in the disaster.

For more information, you need to wait until twelve hours later and enter the game again to verify.

Twelve hours later, it was five o'clock in the morning, hoping to find the alarm clock in the school dormitory...

"Lu Ming, what's wrong with you? You look so ugly..." Lingzi's concerned voice rang out.

Qi Si raised his hand and touched his face, and felt a coldness, and felt cold belatedly.

It was strange. He clearly had no fear or discomfort, but his body acted as if frightened by the word game, his shoulders trembled, and his heartbeat accelerated.

Qi Si turned his head slightly and caught a glimpse of his pale face on the iron door of the fire cabinet at the foot of the stairs. It was much more real than his acting.

He raised the statue in his hand and put on a serious expression: "Lingzi, this is the rabbit statue I told you about. I heard that it is cursed and will induce the holder to harm others for his own desires. Let's throw it away quickly..."

Lingzi's expression became nervous when she heard it: "Yeah! Where should we throw it?"

"Just throw it down from the upstairs. The height of the third floor should be enough to break it." Qi Si said, grabbing the rabbit statue and throwing it out of the window sill, and putting it into the prop column at the last second.

In Lingzi's eyes, the rabbit statue disappeared from Qi Si's hands, and it was probably thrown downstairs and shattered as he said.

The girl was still a little worried: "Lu Ming, I heard that blaspheming the statue may be punished by the gods. If you smash it, will anything happen?"

"If this so-called Rabbit God really has a way to punish me, he won't let me smash his statue." Qi Si smiled comfortingly, "Even if he really comes to me, I'm not afraid. I've heard a lot of weird stories, and I'm never afraid of these. If something happens, I'll always have a way to deal with it better than you."

...

The players squatting in the live broadcast room saw the young man in the picture smiling selflessly and sunny. Knowing the truth, they all silently deducted a "6" in the barrage.

Although they put themselves in the shoes of the young man and would find a way to take the Rabbit God statue from Lingzi, they really couldn't do it like this. They got the advantage and acted like they were selfless.

As the live broadcast time lengthened, more and more players poured into Qi Si's live broadcast room.

After all, the Unnamed Guild was too mysterious. No one could figure out the behavior pattern of this new force that had just emerged and confronted Jiuzhou, and how many cards it had.

As the vice president of the Unnamed Guild, Qi Si started a live broadcast at the height of the storm, which undoubtedly provided players with a window to understand the Unnamed Guild. Even the most secluded free players could not help but take a look out of curiosity.

If nothing unexpected happens, he will soon be regarded as the spokesperson of the Unnamed Guild, and his every move will represent the style of the Unnamed Guild, just like Fu Juezhi to Jiuzhou.

The interface was full of bullet comments.

"This dungeon is quite interesting. There is actually a game within the game. The dungeon NPC designed a game for players to play. I didn't expect that there is such a mode of dual-line parallel. It's really novel."

"What's the use of novelty? I just checked. There are more than a dozen records of passing this dungeon. The reason why there is no noise is because it is extremely simple. As long as you don't commit suicide, you won't die. It's almost the same as a novice pool dungeon."

"Everyone says it's simple, but has anyone passed it as a TE? I think Siqi entered this dungeon, most likely aiming for his first TE clearance. We can also see how good he is at solving puzzles."

...

The episode of the rabbit statue passed quickly. Qi Si followed Lingzi down the stairs, walked out of the teaching building, and turned into the cafeteria next to it.

The dark door and concrete wall blocked the light and noise. From a distance, the whole building looked lifeless. After stepping into the door, you can smell the damp smell of disinfectant. The walls seem to have been soaked in water and rotten, with patches of mold here and there.

The space inside the cafeteria is quite spacious, but there are too many students. At a glance, almost all seats are full, with only a few empty seats in the corners, scattered alone.

The windows for getting food are lined up in a row, and each window has an electronic board with the names of dishes hanging on it. A cursory glance shows that most of them are ordinary dishes such as "stir-fried vegetables".

Qi Si took a few quick steps to line up at a window. From the corner of his eye, he saw that half of the people in the cafeteria put down their chopsticks when Lingzi walked to the middle of the aisle, and turned their heads to look at her directly.

Those eyes were full of cold malice, like a poisonous snake, hissing and spitting out its message.

"It's Lingzi again. I heard that she likes to tell tales to the teacher."

"She still has the nerve to live in this world. She killed her parents and a boy who treated her very well."

"She dresses up so beautifully every day. I wonder who she will harm next..."

This is undoubtedly a bullying. All kinds of slander and slander came from all directions. Lingzi didn't know whether she didn't care or was used to hearing these words. She still had a smile on her face. She just took out a palm-sized rabbit doll from her pocket and squeezed it tightly with her five fingers.

She squeezed it for a while until the doll was crumpled into a ball, then walked to the window, got a dish and brought it to the side.

Qi Si suddenly thought of the story of Miffy Rabbit that he had heard in his childhood.

It was a horror story about rabbits: the girl gradually became radical after being bullied by her classmates. After hearing the screams of the domestic rabbits, she thought the rabbits were mocking her, so she stapled the rabbits' mouths with a stapler.

She put the rabbit's body on the desk of the classmate who bullied her. The screams of the classmates made her feel the pleasure of revenge, so she killed more rabbits in the same way and took revenge on the classmates one by one.

Finally one night, she saw a rabbit with a bleeding mouth standing in front of her bed, calling her name over and over again, Miffy, Miffy...

She woke up and suddenly felt pain in her mouth. The ceiling was no longer in front of her, but iron bars.

She found herself turned into a rabbit, locked in a cage with staples in her mouth.

When Qi Si heard this story when he was young, he did not have much empathy. In his opinion, killing all the bullies after being bullied is the most important thing. How can it be enough to just scare them?

If he wanted to do it more beautifully, he would put a half-dead rabbit in the drawer of an unlucky classmate, so that the latter would accidentally kill the rabbit when he was startled.     Then he would tell his classmates that the unlucky guy was a pervert who would cruelly kill small animals, and let everyone stay away from and be hostile to that person together.

With a common enemy, unity is the easiest thing; contradictions can be easily transferred to the outside world, and the real monsters hide in the mob and eat their fill.

But at this moment, thinking of this nonsense story again, Qi Si has a more concrete feeling about the four words "Beware of Rabbits" in the pre-prompt.

Rabbits are not as mysterious as cats, nor as hateful as mice. They are always harmless and innocent.

Weak and vulnerable, unable to speak, these characteristics combined together, are simply perfect targets for violence.

The strong are angry and draw their knives to the stronger; the weak are angry and draw their knives to the weaker.

Rabbits are undoubtedly weak, and horror stories related to rabbits seem to be related to bullying the weak.

Miffy Rabbit, the five rabbits in "Ten Rabbits", are all victims.

Compared with the rabbits that have become ghosts, players are undoubtedly weaker.

So, be careful of rabbits!

"If the rabbit turns into a ghost, the players will probably get into trouble. So... who is the 'rabbit' in this dungeon? Lingzi?"

While thinking, Qi Si finally got to the window for food.

He casually added some vegetables and rice to his plate, turned around and found a seat in the corner to sit down, buried his head and dug the sticky food into his mouth with chopsticks one by one, swallowing it down.

It must be said that the food in the school cafeteria in the world is equally unpalatable, and it is not much different from the dark cuisine he cooked in "Red Maple Leaf Boarding School" - he actually tasted the taste of plastic in the vegetables.

If he hadn't considered that he would definitely starve to death if he didn't eat in this dungeon for seven days, he wouldn't want to touch these meals at all...

On the other side, Lingzi found a corner where no one was and sat down, ten meters away from Qi Si.

The distance was not close, but for some reason, the discussion around her sounded particularly clear to Qi Si:

"People like Lingzi can only sit in the corner alone."

"No one will pay attention to her, why doesn't she die?"

"People like this should have died long ago, and the Rabbit God should have taken her life."

Lingzi kept her head down most of the time, eating quietly, and only raised her eyes slightly when she heard the word "Rabbit God", with a hint of strangeness in her eyes.

Qisi followed her all the way here, and until now, he suddenly felt a strange sense of disharmony.

Hope Middle School seemed to be a huge word game, Lingzi was the main character in this game, and all NPCs performed around her; the player was the audience, or a perspective, guided by the existence behind the scenes to witness everything.

Evidently in the classroom, Lu Ming was also unpopular among his classmates; but in this group violence in the cafeteria, Qi Si, who played Lu Ming, stayed out of it like a transparent person, without being tainted by the smell of stench.

It's not because of the kindness of the copy, but because in this scene, "Lu Ming" is not the protagonist, has no role, and should not be the main character.

Everything you see and hear is the title of a text puzzle game; the copy seems to be deliberately hoping that the player will do something after solving the puzzle...

At this moment, the students are talking about the "Rabbit God".

"I heard that you only need to sacrifice one person to the Rabbit God to make any wish come true. Can we sacrifice Lingzi in exchange for all of us to get into a good high school?"

"I have asked someone to send the cursed Rabbit God statue to Lingzi. She will die in seven days, and our wish will come true."

"Keep your voice down. What if Lingzi finds out and smashes the Rabbit God statue or gives it to someone else?"

"It's okay. She has been cursed and is destined to be sacrificed to the Rabbit God."

Qis heard it clearly, and lowered his eyelids to look at the Rabbit God statue icon in the prop column. Sure enough, he saw an extra line of words in the [Effect] column.

[Effect ②: After sacrificing Lingzi at the right time, any wish can be fulfilled]

Any wish?

Qi Si took out the Rabbit God Statue from the item bar, quietly put it in his trouser pocket, stood up and walked towards Lingzi.

A new prompt appeared at the right time:

[NPC Lingzi in this time and space has been locked as a destined sacrifice by fate and cannot be sacrificed again]

…That's fine.

Qi Si is not unfamiliar with the concept of "sacrifices locked by fate".

It also requires sacrificing life to activate the effect of [Fate Pocket Watch]. He once imagined whether he could sacrifice the sacrificed sacrifices again after backtracking, but was immediately told by the weird game that the fate of those sacrifices had been locked.

I think the sacrifice of [Rabbit God Statue] is also based on this principle, to prevent people from repeatedly fleecing the Rabbit God by catching bugs.

Lingzi noticed Qi Si approaching and asked with a smile: "Lu Ming, what's wrong?"

Qisi collected his thoughts and pretended to sympathize: "How could they do this to you? You didn't do anything wrong..."

Lingzi tilted her head to look at him, smiling: "Someone has to suffer all this, this is the arrangement of fate. Since I'm used to it, let me continue to bear it."

Fate? Habit? Continue to bear it?

Why does this PUA routine look so familiar?

Qisi narrowed his eyes and asked: "Who told you these words?"

"Lu Ming told me." Lingzi's eyes were a little blurred, as if she was lost in memories.

"Lu Ming? My brother told you?" Qi Si asked.

"Huh?" Lingzi's face had a double image for a moment, and a hideous rabbit face loomed, but it returned to calm in an instant.

She blinked: "Lu Ming, what are you talking about? You never told me that you have a brother." (End of this chapter)
