Infinite weird games

Qisi controlled Kanna Shichiro's body to lie down on the couch, placed the tape recorder next to the pillow, and played the legend of the Rabbit God in a loop.

[The story of Usagi-sama is the story of Usagi-machi...]

Amidst Reiko's pious narration, the rabbit statue in the shrine was as quiet as a chicken, as if it were a dead thing.

Qis could almost imagine that if this god had human emotions, he would probably want to eat him alive - well, he and Qi.

It has to be said that the Rabbit God was tricked by Qi and Li two hundred years ago, and will be tricked again by him two hundred years later. It is indeed a fateful conflict.

Qisi smiled happily, pulled away the brocade quilt in the corner of the wooden couch, covered himself, and took out the palm-sized stone carving of the Rabbit God from the tool list, holding it in his hand under the cover of the brocade quilt.

He closed his eyes, and lines of white text appeared on the system interface in the darkness.

[Name: Rabbit Statue]

[Type: props (copies cannot be taken out)]

[Effect: The holder can use it to enter the time and space where Usagiami Town is located]

[Note: This is a game that many Hope Middle School students have played. The mission goal is to rescue ## (data deleted). Unfortunately, no one has cleared it so far.]

The expression in the effect column seems unmistakable at first glance, but if you think about it carefully, it is likely to be a word play.

Is the "time and space where Usagiami Town is located" really the past of Hope Middle School that players think it is?

Are Usagiami Town and Nozomi Middle School really connected in time?

Who is the mission objective for the players to rescue?

Maybe not just Reiko, but Usagi God, the people of Usagi God Town, and other children... may all be options after the hash mark.

With a contract born of desire as a chain, all people, gods and creatures are trapped in a corner, unable to escape.

On the golden outline of the game panel, the blood-colored handwriting is unusually bright.

[The third episode of "Escape from Usagi Kamachi"]

[Mission goal: Escape from Usagiami Town]

[Warm reminder: Be careful with rabbits]

[Archive points: ① "Suspicious Question"; ② Reiko's Rabbit God Mask; ③ Reiko's prayer belt; ④ Reiko's death; ⑤ Imprisoned God]

[Can be paused, fast forwarded, and exited]

Qisi felt that there was a tape recorder playing in a loop in his ears. Even if he fell asleep, the quality of his sleep would not be very good.

What's more, he still has many situations that he plans to go to Hope Middle School for verification, and only after reaching a definite conclusion can he continue to implement the plan in Usagiami Town.

He silently recited the word "exit" in his mind.

[The third episode of "Escape from Usagi Kamachi" is suspended]

[In this week’s game, you learn the secret of Usagiami Town from the head of the Kanna family, and escape from Usagigami Town from the southeast with Reiko and Akira Kurokawa.

[In the mountains and forests outside Usagiami Town, you, Reiko and Kurokawa Akira got separated. You took the opportunity to kill Reiko and completed the mission of 'preventing Reiko from being chosen by the Rabbit God' in a twisted way.

[Later in the middle of the night, you and Akira Kurokawa were found by the head of the Kurokawa family and brought back to Usagiami Town together. After learning about the consequences of a failed Rabbit God Sacrifice, you offered to take on the responsibility of accommodating the Rabbit God.

[You have become the god of this generation, and have entered the shrine of Rabbit Shrine, and will live here until August 7th...]

Text appeared on the game panel and then faded away, cracks like broken glass appeared in the field of vision, and after the color blocks were scattered, it was the same darkness.

The smell of rotten wood and incense in the air gradually dissipated, replaced by the smell of disinfectant and the moisture of sewage seeping into the walls. The originally light and dry brocade quilt also became heavy, weighing down on the body wetly and softly.

Zis opened his eyes. The scene was dimly lit. The lights were probably turned off. Only a few rays of light leaked in from the window, allowing him to see clearly the ceiling hanging with the chandelier.

He seemed to be in dormitory 0415 of Hope Middle School, lying on bed No. 3 belonging to Lu Ming.

The other beds were all empty. It was probably because he didn't come back before the end of evening self-study.

As for the three roommates who stayed in the classroom, it was unclear whether they were studying, doing homework and solving extracurricular questions, or whether they were playing battle royale in a ghostly state.

Qisi got up from the bed and walked out of the dormitory. The sound of opening the door activated the sensor light in the corridor.

As the pale light fell on his head, he lowered his head and glanced at the time displayed on his destiny pocket watch.

It's half past seven, which is still early before the end of evening self-study. It would be too wasteful to lie in the dormitory doing nothing.

The recorder still had two bars left, so Zis held it in his hand and walked along the corridor toward the stairs. The sensor lights lit up along the way, following his footsteps.

He walked down the stairs. There was no one on the other floors. The sensor light near the stairway came on, but in the distance there was an endless black hole.

When he was about to reach the first floor, Qisi pressed the switch of the recorder.

[Four...two...nine...seven...three...six]

The hoarse recording played on its own, like ghostly whispers, swirling and echoing in the silence with hollow echoes.

The female dormitory manager with a hair curling iron walked over in slippers, holding a flashlight in one hand and a broom in the other, waving it as if facing an enemy: "Who is there? Come out?"

As a ghost, she couldn't see Qisi turning on the recorder. She could only see the lights in the corridor automatically turning on, as if someone was passing by; there were sporadic footsteps, but no one could be seen.

It was not yet past midnight, and she had not yet awakened the cognition and memory of ghosts. She still adhered to human common sense. What she saw in front of her couldn't help but feel extremely strange.

"Which classmate returned to the dormitory early?" The female dormitory shouted at the top of her voice, her momentum gradually weakened, "Just come out and register. No points will be deducted this time..."

Qisi pretended not to hear, walked around her at the corner, and quickly walked out of the dormitory building.

Behind the back, the female dormitory murmured to herself in a trembling voice: "It's haunted... It's really haunted..."

There was no one in sight outside the dormitory building, and the promotional screen of Yongsheng Technology Company was dutifully on, automatically playing PPT and videos.

In the picture, researchers in white coats are busy walking through the aisles, their eyes behind their glasses are tired and dull.

Under the starless and moonless night, the road was filled with white mist, which was dispersed by the illumination of street lamps on both sides.

Qisi followed the memory of the map in his mind and walked in the direction of the administration building.

This copy did not look like the real world. He had searched the desks of other students before and found that everyone's stationery reserves and layout were exactly the same as Lu Ming's. He guessed that this place was a ghost realm built based on Lu Ming's consciousness.

Then the next two time and space intersected with each other through Lu Ming's game; Reiko's corpses in various forms appeared in every corner, triggering immersive hallucinations; and even various classrooms staged horrific melodrama in an exaggerated and absurd form...

Zissi was basically certain that this was an abstract world similar to "Lu Ming's Nightmare" and did not replicate the real scene one-to-one.

In this case, the building that Lu Ming selected as an element and placed here must have something worth exploring, and at least there will be one or two clues.

The numbers recorded in the voice recorder sound like a password.

In general word games, any password clues that appear must be useful.

There is obviously no place where passwords are required in the teaching building, cafeteria and dormitories. The only place where passwords may work is in the administrative building.

Qisi held the recorder tightly and entered the administration building wiping the shoulders of the black-and-white dean, without attracting the attention of anyone or ghost.

I don't know whether it's because Lu Ming himself doesn't come to the administration building often, or because Weird Games is kind enough to eliminate the interference of redundant information for players, but the interior of the administration building is as jerry-rigged as the dean's style of painting.

The corridor on the first floor is entirely in black, white and gray, with no perspective drawn. It looks like a primary school student's simple graffiti. The doors are only outlined with black lines, and you can tell at a glance that they cannot be opened.

When Qiss walked into the hallway, he felt as if he had entered a jerry-rigged game backstage. There were blurry blocks of color on both sides, and flat doors were painted on them, which looked a bit funny in a weird way.

Qisi tentatively touched the door panel, and sure enough, there was no door crack or doorknob.

This would save him the trouble of searching room after room and finding nothing like he did in "The Dialectical Game."

In a sense, Weird Game's ill will towards him is far less than his ill will towards himself.

A three-dimensional staircase stretches across the end of the corridor, which is incompatible with the surrounding two-dimensional scene and is particularly eye-catching.

Zis stepped up the steps and finally returned to the three-dimensional world, knowing where the last piece of the puzzle was.

He climbed up to the second floor step by step. At the end was boundless darkness, with only a wooden door embedded in the darkness, standing majestically and alone.

There happens to be a combination lock installed on the door.

Qisi walked over and entered [429736] repeated over and over again into the recorder.

With a "click", the wooden door opened in response, making a "squeak" sound as the opening increased.

On a black and white background, a vision flashed before Qiss' eyes.

The young man brought a voice recorder and quietly followed the teacher in black all the way to the administration building and got into the shadows in the corner.

Maybe the teacher happened to have the habit of whispering the password when entering it, or maybe the stalker had good eyesight. In short, the boy knew the password and couldn't find any banknotes, so he recorded it with a voice recorder.

He carries a voice recorder with him, probably because he wants to investigate something and collect some evidence, and the evidence he is looking for is behind the door, and it is very relevant...

Qisi pushed open the door and walked in, passing through the bookshelf with paintings on it, and went straight to the three-dimensional desk in the back of the room.

The two drawers under the desk were locked with mechanical locks.

Zeiss took out the thin wires from the special bracelet and pried them open one by one.

There is a stack of information in the drawer on the left, and at the top is a list of past gods of Usagiami Town.

[Kanna Shichiro]'s name seems to be the last one, it is circled in red pen, the purpose is unknown.

Three names counting from the top are [Kanna Hidezai], which is the name of the head of the Kanna family.

This is undoubtedly contradictory to the information Zeiss obtained in the game "Escape from Usagi Kamachi".

In the game, the head of the Kanna Family avoided selection through witchcraft; in the known history of Hope Middle School, he was selected as he should have been.

This is enough to show that what happened in the game "Escape from Usagi Kamachi" has no temporal and causal connection with Hope Middle School.

Hope Middle School was indeed built on the territory of Rabbit God Town, and there was indeed a Rabbit God Town that was destroyed by the Rabbit God's curse hundreds of years ago.

But that is already the past, established history, and cannot be confused with the time and space of Usagiami Town that Zeiss entered.

Different choices will extend different world lines, which are independent of each other.

Zeiss can still seize the power of the Rabbit God as planned without having to worry about the Grandfather Paradox.

Under the directory are several manuscripts with passages written in notebook style.

[People in Usagiami Town believe that children are the purest and most innocent. Even if they have powerful power, they can easily control them...]

[Children have not been exposed to too many materialistic worlds, so they lack too strong desires, and God happens to have no desires. Children will be the best material for making gods...]

[They succeeded...but they made a huge mistake. Without desire or emotion, they would kill like instinctive animals, excluding all people and things that made them feel threatened...]

[Kanna Shichiro became the new Rabbit God, far more cruel than the previous Rabbit God. He likes to play a game called Bamboo Cage Eye, and all the students who have been to the lake will play it when they come back, and play until the dead appear...]

[All the corpses were thrown to the bottom of the lake. He is very satisfied and is willing to fulfill our wish... Then we will transfer a batch of supplies from the orphanage... I wonder how many people need to die to achieve eternal life? 】

Zeiss narrowed his eyes.

In the world line of Hope Middle School, the Rabbit God has indeed lost his divine power, and Kanna Shichiro has become the new Rabbit God.

The so-called Rabbit God Festival is by no means what girls do in the dormitory, but the bamboo cage game that has always been hidden under the water.

The students who had been to the lake were possessed by the nightmare, and unconsciously began to play with bamboo cage eyes until one person died...The dead person was a sacrifice to the new Rabbit God.

The Eternal Life Technology Company knew all this and deliberately brought orphans into Hope Middle School in order to sacrifice them. The purpose was never boring things like improving student performance, but... eternal life.

As for other students, they may be tools to commit atrocities and cover up crimes, or they may be a way to make some extra money. Without exception, they are involved and become part of the crime.

The game "Escape from Usagi Kamachi" does not open a door to the past time and space that can change the future, as Zes thought before.

The game is just a game. It is a game that Lu Ming simulated and built the background based on the information obtained from the investigation, and made appropriate adaptations.

In the game, Kanna Shichiro was not selected as the god master. In order to increase the legitimacy of this point, even the head of the Kanna family was spared.

Hope Middle School simulated the possibility of Kanna Shichiro never becoming the Rabbit God. Unfortunately, no matter who the Rabbit God was, Reiko could not escape death.

Lu Ming had to let players enter the game and find a new way out.

What's even more pity is that in the game "Escape from Usagi Kamachi", Zeiss did not follow the routine and turned the world line back to its original direction.

"So... is the Rabbit God in "Escape from Rabbit God Town" the original Rabbit God, or the real Kanna Shichiro?" Zeiss fell into deep thought.

The background of the game is fake, but Reiko and Rabbit God are real. After all, there are soul blades and contract rules to prove it.

Zeiss could feel Reiko's soul and the power of the Rabbit God being restrained.

The Rabbit God in Hope Middle School is gone, but there is a living Rabbit God in the game "Escape from Rabbit God Town", which is really strange.

Could it be because...

"Because I locked Him in my game." A young voice sounded emotionlessly from behind.

Qisi looked back and saw Lu Ming in school uniform. (End of chapter)
