Infinite weird games

Soon after, the waiter brought the sacrificial garments.

It was a set of hunting clothes as red as blood, with golden tassels sewn on the edges and gilded cloud patterns embroidered on the front. It reflected golden light in the sunlight, which was grand, prosperous and magnificent.

With the help of the waiter, Qi Si put on the gorgeous clothes, like a dead body locked in clothes, and even his soul could feel the heaviness on his body.

"You look like a real god in this sacrificial garment." The waiter praised sincerely and tied the red ribbon on Qi Si's half-long hair.

There was no mirror here, Qi Si could not see his image, and he did not care much. He just quietly let the waiter fiddle with it.

After the waiter left, he dragged his complicated clothes, knelt on the futon, and softly recited the blessing of the rabbit god.

This time he did not play Reiko's recording, but said with a smile in a narrative tone: "Kanna Shichiro, I think you must hate that nosy witch, right?

"It was He who aroused the desires of the first three family heads, allowing them to imprison the Rabbit God at that time, dragging the entire Rabbit God Town into the quagmire of fate, and causing generations to suffer the shadow of the curse.

"If there is no Him, the children of Rabbit God Town will only be the children of their parents. You can have desires and freely decide your own life without being imprisoned here and dealing with the seven-day cycle.

"Coincidentally, I am also hostile to that witch and need to kill Him to seize the complete contract authority. As the saying goes - 'the enemy of my enemy is my friend', you will help me, right? ”

The rabbit god statue in the shrine opened its blood-red eyes, stared at Qis for a moment, and then slowly closed its eyelids.

He was shaken and was thinking about the feasibility of cooperating with Qis, but he had not made a final decision.

Qis said no more, sat back at the table, put the prayer board engraved with the bamboo cage eye ballad aside, picked up another piece of wood, and carved with the divine chisel.

In fact, under the current circumstances, he did not need to take care of the Rabbit God's mood.

He had no desires, and he could carve a new statue that was different from the Rabbit God statue, and he was attached to Kanna Shichiro who had succeeded once. At first glance, it seemed that seizing the Rabbit God's power was almost a foregone conclusion.

But the "evil ghost" left a message for him to trade with the Rabbit God, which could not be completely without purpose. Although he did not intend to completely believe in the goodwill of the unknown existence, it did not prevent him from trying to follow the advice.

What's more, the Rabbit God at this time was Kanna Shichiro, who successfully seized the power of the Rabbit God, had experiences that Qi Si had never had, which meant that he had more information.

He couldn't have no trump cards. For the Rabbit God Festival that was repeated over and over again, after so many years, he might not be able to think of a countermeasure.

This made Qi Si have to be more careful.

Compared to the unknown rituals held by the priests, he was more willing to believe in the restrictions of the contract.

The God's Residence was silent, one person and one god were silent, only the "rustling" sound of the carving knife filing the wood block continued, mixed with the sound of the wind, wind chimes, and wooden signs, sounding a harmonious melody.

Later, Kanna Rokuro came over.

At this time, the door was not locked. He opened the wooden door, stood outside the door, and looked at Qi Si by the table.

"Shichiro, the head of the Kurokawa family is really too much. He led you into the main God's Residence without informing my Kanna family." The young man in black kimono was indignant, "Last night, my father was so angry that he vomited blood when he heard the news! "

Qis got up and walked to the door, looking at Kanna Rokuro across the threshold, and said lightly: "I took the initiative to ask to become the lord of the gods. Reiko is dead, and someone has to take responsibility for all this. This is my responsibility to be born in Rabbit God Town."

"Then you can't...can't..." Kanna Rokuro was choked with anger, and he stammered for a long time without saying a complete sentence. After all, Qisi stood on the moral high ground, and he was wrong no matter what he said.

He could only put on a stern face and admonished with the airs of a brother: "Shichiro, it's a good thing that you hit all three wooden sticks. As long as there is no accident, you can become a new god. Otherwise, you don't know what kind of disaster will be brought to my Kanna family..."

"Disaster..." Qisi seemed to remember something, turned around and took the prayer board engraved with the bamboo cage song from the table, and handed it to Kanna Rokuro, "I heard that the prayer board I carved by myself can pray for blessings and avoid disasters. I don't know if it's true. "

"Why are you still carving these? "Kami no Rokuro impatiently threw away the prayer board, and the wooden board fell to the ground with a "pop".

As if he realized his bad attitude belatedly, he slightly restrained the irritability between his eyebrows and sighed: "Qi Lang, what you have to do next is to do your best to carve the rabbit god statue and find out the appearance of the god in your heart.

"As long as you can become the new god, our family will be fine."

"Is that so?" Qi Si smiled softly, "Brother, Qi Lang will try his best."

Kami no Rokuro comforted him a few more times, and his words were full of tension, fearing that Qi Si would make a mistake, so that the opportunity to become a god would slip through his fingers, and the fate of the family would take a sharp turn for the worse.

Qi Si had just carved a lot of malicious "prayer boards" and was in a good mood, so he was particularly patient in perfunctory this worried brother.

The waiter standing not far away could not bear to watch and came over to persuade him: "Kami-no-kun, time is running out. The Lord God needs to calm down before carving a new statue."

Kami-no-rokuro then looked back every few steps and left worriedly.

Qis returned to the table and continued carving the statue.

The specimen maker's hands are flexible and light, and can handle more variable and difficult-to-carve human body materials, so carving wood blocks is naturally a piece of cake.

He could often carve out a human figure quickly, then slowly carve out the head, face and clothing, making the wood block in his hand look like a human figure, not some other species.

But when refining the facial features and expressions, the divine chisel seemed to lose control and began to carve randomly, either scratching the face of the statue or carving a bunch of incomprehensible symbols.

Whenever this happened, Qis would happily flatten the broken statue, make it into a blessing card, and carve words on it, the content of which was all kinds of horror nursery rhymes.

The people outside were anxious, but he was calm and composed despite the thousands of eyes on him. Everyone who saw him was extremely sure that he really had no desires, not even a heart.

The afternoon sun fell on the back of the god's residence, and the room darkened, as if sneaking from the human world to the realm of gods and ghosts.

The waiter entered the room and added incense to the incense burner. Three newly lit incense sticks stood tall, and green smoke flew into the shrine, blurring the face of the statue.

Qi Si just flattened the newly carved wood block and carved his three-line name on it.

The waiter saw it and said helplessly: "Lord God, wait until tomorrow, they will keep letting you get and keep letting you lose until you know what you really want.

"And when desires arise in your heart and your body is not yet tainted by desires, they will carve you into a god frozen between life and death."

Qi Si raised his eyelids and smiled at him: "Thank you for telling me, I understand."

The waiter left and stood under the cherry tree twenty meters away.

Qi Si sat on the futon again and asked the Rabbit God: "Hundreds of years ago, after you became the Lord God, did you also keep carving like me now? What is your desire and what did you carve out?"

The Rabbit God did not answer, Qi Si stopped talking, lay down on the couch, and closed his eyes to sleep in the sound of birds.

After an unknown amount of time, the voice of Kurokawa Akira rang out the window: "Xiao Qi, Xiao Qi... are you okay? "

Qis sat up from the couch, pushed open the half-closed door, and motioned him to stand outside the threshold to talk.

The waiter disappeared from his sight at some point. Presumably, seeing Qisi fall asleep, he allowed himself to leave briefly to sweep the shrine or do other things.

Kurokawa Akira trotted to Qisi, his face full of worry, looking like he would cry at any time: "Xiaoqi, you have been chosen and become the Lord of the Gods. Are you going to die? I asked them, and they all said that you will be fine, but I don't believe it..."

"I will be fine."

Qis simply repeated the information about carving gods and grabbing divine power, and said: "If nothing unexpected happens, I will replace the original Rabbit God and become the new god of Rabbit God Town. There will be no more Rabbit God Festivals in the future, and no more deaths. "

"Really?" Kurokawa Akira opened his mouth wide, his eyes bright, "Then Xiaoqi, can I make a wish to you in the future? "

Qisi nodded with a smile, took the prayer card with the name of God engraved on it from the table, and handed it over: "Before that, I may need you to do me a favor.

"Spread the content engraved on it, and let the residents of Rabbit God Town spread it like the legend of Rabbit God."

Before Akira Kurokawa spoke, he added seriously: "Don't ask why, and don't tell the adults that I asked you to do it. These two points are very important and related to whether I can survive."

Kurokawa Akira took the prayer card and swallowed his saliva: "Is this... so important? But if I don't tell the adults, how can I let others spread the words on it?"

"Compose it into a nursery rhyme, make it into a game, or spread various specious rumors... There are many ways."

Qisi lowered his eyes and sighed: "Kurokawa Akira, I only told you the above. Whether it will succeed in the end depends on how you act."

"Ah? Okay, I... I'll try my best!" Akira Kurokawa nodded heavily and left nervously with the prayer card.

Qi Si looked up at the Rabbit God statue behind the shrine and smiled friendly: "You are bound by your faith and cannot be free, so I will dissolve some of your faith for you. Is this sincerity enough?"

The Rabbit God opened his eyes and stared at him with bloodshot eyes, still without saying a word.

In the evening, the waiter brought a tray and brought a bowl of white rice and several dishes of food cooked with vegetables, fish and chicken.

In this era of the game background, all of the above are precious ingredients, and Qi Si thought of the term "last meal" for no reason.

He took the wooden tray, put it on the table, and picked up the ingredients with chopsticks attentively, and put the food into his mouth according to the rule of one chopstick of rice and one chopstick of vegetables.

Except for the three times of "Rose Manor", "Carnivore" and "Double Happiness Town", the rest of the copies either did not need to eat, or the food was too abstract.

In reality, Qi Si would go downstairs to eat a few normal meals except when he defeated laziness and had free time. At other times, he would fill his stomach with instant noodles of various flavors.

The meal in front of him was quite formal. The rice was fragrant, the vegetables were juicy and sweet, and the fish and chicken were fresh and plump. Qi Si was quite satisfied with the meal.

He swallowed all the ingredients slowly, put down the clean bowl and chopsticks, and looked at the waiter.

The waiter said: "Tomorrow is August 3rd. According to the rules, you have to fast."

Qi Si smiled indifferently, stood up with his hands folded, and gave up his position to clean up the plates.

The waiter put the bowls and chopsticks on the tray, turned around and left with the wooden tray, stepped over the threshold and turned back to close the door.

With a "click", the wooden door was locked.

For the next four days, Qis will be locked in the God's Residence with the Rabbit God until Qis carves a new statue or the Rabbit God crosses the limit and kills him.

There is only a shallow layer of wood left in the wooden box, and Qis will stop carving.

He sat on the couch, closed his eyes, and silently said "fast forward" in his heart.

The sound of the wind gradually became louder, and the sound of the wind chimes and the wooden signs were completely out of tune, and there was a noisy and rapid vibration in his ears.

At a certain moment, the sound returned to calm, and Qis saw the Rabbit God walking down from the shrine.

"Bamboo cage eyes, bamboo cage eyes, when will the bird in the cage be released to fly?"

"In the early morning, the crane and the turtle fell, and the child behind asked who it was?"

The crisp singing of the children rang out, but this time it was not mixed with laughter, but crying of fear.

In front of Qis' eyes appeared the figures of young men wearing various kimonos, one of whom was wearing a heavy blood-colored hunting robe with a gilded embroidery pattern in the style of a sacrificial robe.

It was Kanna Shichiro.

Qis saw Kanna Shichiro standing in the circle, holding hands with the boys, and spinning around the boy sitting in the center.

During the song, he laughed maliciously and happily, and kicked the boy every time he passed a beat, until the boy's back was covered with shoe prints.

But the boy just curled up in silence, sobbing softly, and never dodged.

A round of bamboo cage eye game ended, and the next person sat in the middle. Kanna Shichiro still stood in the circle and repeated the process of wantonly beating the boy sitting in the middle.

Everyone was crying, and the boys' faces were wrinkled and ugly. They begged in unison.

"Qilang, we are sorry for you. We shouldn't have bullied you before..."

"Qilang, please forgive us. We know we are wrong. Please let us go back..."

"Qilang, the adults said that as long as you feel it is enough, we can leave... Have you had enough?"

Kannashiro laughed out loud, the kind of exaggerated and performative laughter in stage plays, like a madman at the end of his life mocking his fate, or like a prodigal son who has been wandering for half his life looking at his own shadow and feeling sorry for himself.

"I haven't had enough, how can I have had enough? Don't you like playing the bamboo cage game the most? I like it too..."

He laughed, tears in the corners of his eyes, and his long black hair fell down, covering his pale face like a demon, which was horrifying.

All the actions and expressions of the young man were frozen, his flesh melted like a wax figure under heat, and the pale skeleton reflected the candlelight, which was dark and cold.

Kanna Shichiro suddenly turned his head and faced Qi Si, his voice calm and cold: "They said I was the offspring of an evil ghost, so I became a ghost god to fulfill their prophecy.

"My wish is to never have to be a ghost when playing the bamboo cage eye game, so I carved the bamboo cage eye song under the base of the statue.

"And they played the bamboo cage eye game with me until August 6th." (End of this chapter)
