Infinite weird games
Chapter 333 Beware the Rabbit (XV) Faith and Death
While no one was paying attention, Qi Si pulled off Reiko's prayer belt and hung his own on it.
At the same time, the game interface of "Escape from Rabbit God Town" changed.
[Mission objective has been triggered]
[Mission objective: prevent Reiko from being chosen by Rabbit God]
Yes, if Reiko is chosen by Rabbit God, Kanna Shichiro will definitely die, and he will not be able to have further contact with Rabbit God before his death. It is a dead end for both parties.
But as long as you gently move the original fate line, the original ending will become different. Even if it does not necessarily lead to a better result, it at least extends to multiple possibilities.
So, there is actually only one way left for the player.
The prompt [Saveable] popped up on the panel, and Qi Si silently read the word [Save].
[Obtain save point ③ Reiko's prayer belt]
[You saw Reiko's prayer belt on the prayer tree, and for the first time you knew that your childhood friend actually had a secret crush on you.
[If it was before today, you might have had a different feeling, but after learning the secrets of Rabbit God Town from your father, you can only feel a heavy burden now.
[So, you secretly hid Reiko's prayer belt, hoping to hide it from Rabbit God. But you know this is not a long-term solution, you must think of a way...]
Method...?
…
It seems that everyone can say a few words in the text game copy with lower difficulty. The onlookers in the live broadcast room discussed it enthusiastically.
"I remember when I cleared the dungeon, the plot was to run away with Lingzi together with my friends, but unfortunately we were caught on the last day."
"What a pity! I heard that if we could really save Lingzi, we could clear the dungeon as a TE."
[Yu Jinsheng]: "The weird thing about this dungeon is that once Lingzi is chosen by the Rabbit God to possess her, her wish of 'being with Xiaoqi' will take effect, and Kanna Shichiro will be dead, and the Rabbit God Town subplot will fail. Even if the player passes the school main quest perfectly, the dungeon completion rate is only 50%, which can only be considered a NE clearance."
"Alas, this dungeon is a puzzle on the surface, but it's actually parkour, right? See who can run faster with Lingzi, right?"
"Correct answer, I think this is a temple escape disguised as a puzzle."
...
"Xiaoqi! We agreed to get together today, why are you still wandering around here?" Not far ahead, a little fat man ran over breathlessly through the crowd, pulling Qis's sleeve and pulling him aside.
[Name: Akira Kurokawa]
[Type: NPC (friendly camp)]
[Note: You and Reiko's mutual friend]
Three lines of prompt text appeared on the panel of the game "Escape from Rabbit God Town", indicating the identity of the visitor.
Qi Si looked up at the little fat man and smiled apologetically: "My father just came to find me, and I finally got away."
"Then let's go!" The little fat man pulled Qi Si to run forward, "Let's call Reiko, I have something important to tell you."
Qis followed suit, jogging while memorizing the surrounding landmarks.
The long street where the fireworks festival was held stretched from east to west. The Kanna family was located on the northwest side, the Kurokawa family was on the south side, and the Edo family where Reiko was located was on the southeast side.
The little fat man flexibly led Qi Si to make many turns and stood at the back wall of a house, out of breath.
Lingzi just came out of the back door and saw the two of them. She shouted in surprise: "Why are you here? I remember I just said goodbye to Xiaoqi."
The little fat man looked solemn: "You guys go to a place with me. I'll tell you when no one can hear it."
As he said that, he walked ahead and led the way. Lingzi was confused. Qis had some vague guesses, but he still followed him and went into a long-abandoned brick house.
The little fat man looked around and made sure there was no one else. He stopped and said mysteriously and nervously: "Lingzi, Xiaoqi, what I will say later is true, you must believe it.
"I had a nightmare in the middle of the night last night, so I ran to find my mother and heard her discussing something with my father. They said that the child who looks most like the Rabbit God will be chosen to become the 'flesh' and will die! ”
Since the head of the Kanna family knew the secret of Rabbit God Town, there was no reason for the other two families to be ignorant of it. It was reasonable for the children in the family to accidentally hear it after the secret was leaked.
If the word game wants to develop, Kanna Shichiro needs to take Reiko away from Rabbit God Town, and it is undoubtedly difficult for Reiko to be convinced by Kanna Shichiro's words alone.
Qisi knew that horror movies often have the kind of routine that makes people's blood pressure soar. The protagonist is reminded that he will encounter danger, but he still rushes to die in disbelief.
At this time, the existence of the fat man as a source of information providing circumstantial evidence is very important.
"Really? How could this be?" Reiko looked pale, looking at the fat man, and then at Qisi.
Qisi also made a surprised expression: "They all said that I am the child who looks most like Rabbit God. Doesn't it mean that I will be chosen and die in the Rabbit God Festival?"
"No, you and Reiko both look like Rabbit God, and you may be chosen!" The fat man said, "That means one of you will die! "
If only Reiko herself was threatened, she might hesitate, but if Kanna Shichiro was added as a weight, everything would be different.
Reiko looked at Qi Si worriedly: "Then what should we do?"
Just waiting for this sentence. Qi Si pretended to be calm and said in a firm tone: "Reiko, let's escape from Rabbit God Town together. We will wander outside for seven days and come back after the Rabbit God Festival is over."
Reiko hesitated for two seconds and asked in a whisper: "If I leave, will my mother get into trouble?"
"Your mother is the only adult in the Edo family. What can ordinary people do to her?" Qi Si persuaded, "Besides, I have also escaped. The two major families of the Kanna family and the Edo family have united. Who dares to raise any objections?"
When the little fat man heard this, he also put on a heroic expression and clenched his fists and said : "I will escape with you. Now no one in our three families will be in trouble. I can also help you keep watch!"
Reiko still hesitated: "But everyone in Rabbit God Town is very good to me. If I leave like this, will I be sorry for them?"
"Don't think so, Reiko." Qi Si looked into the girl's eyes and said seriously, "Everyone has the right to live, and no one is destined to be sacrificed.
"Looking for food in a famine year, fighting for planks in a shipwreck, and desperately seeking survival are the instincts engraved in the souls of living things. There is nothing wrong with it. Reiko, would you kill the elderly, the weak, women and children to save food, or push the people who grabbed the planks into the sea to drown in order to free up the planks for those in need?
"Sacrifice should be a choice, not an obligation. The collective interest should never be a reason to deprive an individual of life. Killing an innocent person in the name of the kindness of others has always been an atrocity called "moral kidnapping". I don't like it."
...
The barrage in the live broadcast room was swiped wildly.
"Is Siqi pointing at Jiuzhou Guild? Or am I overthinking?"
"You didn't think too much. This is almost a blatant attack on Jiuzhou's purpose. Apart from Jiuzhou, who else talks about the collective and sacrifice all the time?"
"I suddenly understand why the Unnamed Guild is at odds with Jiuzhou. This is a fight of righteousness. I stand with the Unnamed Guild this time."
"I also think what Siqi said makes sense. We are all human beings. Why should we follow the rules of Jiuzhou? Do the minority not deserve to live?"
"Hearing now, I almost understand the Unnamed Guild's thoughts. Everyone has the right to live, so just do your best to live to the end. As long as everyone takes care of themselves, why worry about not being able to pass the final dungeon? "
"You are all too selfish, right? With you like this, who can trust you to pass the final dungeon? Who knows if you are willing to save everyone?"
"Hahaha, a saint clown broke the defense!"
...
The reaction of the barrage was within Qi Si's expectations, or in other words, Qi Si intended to guide public opinion through the live broadcast mechanism, and what he said to Lingzi was completely a pretext.
The process of escaping from Rabbit God Town was as smooth as a dream. The three people were not stopped, and they didn't even run into a person who asked questions. They left the village entrance with red and colorful decorations and entered the lush forest.
According to the children's naive ideas, as long as they hid in the forest for seven days, when the Rabbit God Festival was over, the three people would be safe.
Along the way, the little fat man chattered non-stop, and Lingzi soon relaxed and smiled at the corners of her lips.
Although Qi Si was already 22 years old, he still played the role of an ignorant child conscientiously, and responded from time to time, as if he really agreed with the childish plan of his two companions.
No one had passed the mountain road for a long time. Gravel and weeds covered the path, and the shrubs on both sides grew wantonly.
Qi Si took the samurai sword stolen by the fat boy from home and cleared the way in front.
The night quietly wove over the sky of the mountains and forests. At first, no one noticed the arrival of night, because the mountains were dark with dense branches and leaves covering the sky.
Until a piece of flat land with no grass appeared in front of them, the three walked to the center of the flat land, looked up at the sky, and saw a bright moon hanging above their heads, casting a silver light like water, and then they realized that it was already night.
"Qi Lang, Lingzi, look, why is it foggy?" The fat boy suddenly pointed in a direction and shouted.
Qi Si looked in the direction he pointed, and there was indeed a large amount of white fog in the forest, rushing towards the open space.
The fog was mixed with a faint gray, and at first glance it looked like a painful human face.
They all had sharp mouths and eyes, red eyes, and facial features that looked very much like rabbits, but with human bodies...
Qi Si couldn't help but think of what the head of the Kanna family said, that those who were once chosen as the flesh of the rabbit god were buried in the cave after the ceremony.
He turned around and looked around, and the little fat man had disappeared. A claw grabbed his wrist from behind, releasing a trace of cold air, and what he saw was a rabbit face with a grin and sharp front teeth.
The red kimono was half rotten, and it was ragged and tattered on the body. The flower ornaments on the forehead were as red as blood, and it was no different from the girl lying in the pit in the beginning of the copy.
——It was Reiko, Reiko who had completely turned into a ghost.
The faces in the mist conveyed a lot of information. Anger, sadness, fear and other emotions squeezed into Qis's mind through the air, occupying the space for rational thinking.
Every eighteen years, an innocent child was sacrificed in exchange for the well-being of other people in Rabbit God Town.
They were ignorant at first, but the truth will always be known one day. The so-called Rabbit God belief has been a selfish scam from beginning to end.
The resentment of generations of victims gathered into a weirdness, and they screamed their unwillingness in life.
What a good deal to exchange the life of many people for the death of one person, but why did they die?
All evil thoughts were instilled into the last victim. Black mist surged around Lingzi, and her eyes lost their spirit.
She was undoubtedly a ghost without memory and self-awareness at this time. She only wanted to kill the creature in front of her, lick blood, and revenge.
Qi Si maintained his calmness, took out a bright red blessing belt from his pocket, and threw it in front of Lingzi.
It clearly wrote the wish she had written spontaneously:
[I want to be with Xiaoqi. Lingzi]
Familiar things aroused the memories of the living. Lingzi fell into confusion in an instant, struggling between clarity and chaos.
Qi Si took the opportunity to take out the recorder from the prop column and held it in his hand. The eyes of gods and ghosts were isolated and flowed from both sides.
Lingzi's eyes lost focus, and her hand seemed to grab something, but it seemed to grab the void. She let go of her hand and looked around blankly, looking for the target that suddenly disappeared.
Qi Si knew that he was being looked for, so he just silently pulled out the blade from the special bracelet and clamped it between two fingers.
He approached the girl who had turned into a ghost step by step from the side, raised the blade high, and slashed it hard at the latter's neck.
From the beginning, Qi Si had no intention of saving Reiko. His plan had always been to trick Reiko into a deserted place and kill her.
The mission goal was to [prevent Reiko from being chosen by the Rabbit God]. As long as Reiko died before the Rabbit God Festival, wouldn't she not be chosen?
Maybe he could get a corpse of Reiko and advance the main mission.
The reason for the failure of the first round was very clear, because the murder was seen by passers-by in the street; this in turn also shows that killing Reiko is allowed, as long as it is not discovered.
And Qi Si just hates protection missions.
The blade slashed on Reiko's neck, like cutting a stream of water, without causing a single scar.
The Reiko in front of him undoubtedly possessed some of the characteristics of a ghost, and could not be killed by ordinary methods.
So... what about the soul contract?
Qi Si put the recorder back into the prop column and appeared in front of Reiko again.
"Reiko, I'm Kannashiro, also known as Xiaoqi." He said, "I saw your prayer belt.
"You said you wanted to be with me, so I would like to ask, are you willing to believe in me and follow me forever? "
The black-haired young man spoke in a gentle voice, with dark eyes, which was coaxing, but made people sink into it subconsciously.
Reiko stared at him blankly, her face changing rapidly between rabbit and human form, and the mottled bloodstains on her kimono sometimes faded and sometimes covered.
She covered her forehead and moaned softly, as if something important in her heart had been dug out, but she had to grab it with bloody fingers.
The mist with blood was steaming around her, and golden vines were hanging from the sky, flickering.
A scarlet leaf stretched out from the branches at the bottom of the Temple of Thought, trembling and growing timidly.
And at the moment it took shape, Qi Si held his right hand and crushed it.
The blood-colored light spots fell from between her fingers, and Reiko opened her eyes wide and fell backwards to the ground.
[The progress of the main task has been updated]
