Chapter 237 The Undead

[After using the original flesh and blood to create the gods, the exhausted ancestor god fell into a deep sleep under the World Tree. The newly born gods conspired to divide the ancestral gods and each received part of his authority.

The god in charge of time and space weaves dreams, and the god in charge of contracts tells lies. The ancestral god who was trapped in illusion shed his last drop of blood and tears, and red rain fell between heaven and earth for seven days and seven nights.

Plague and death are rampant on the land. Believers who have become ugly due to mutations crawl out of the piles of corpses and collect the flesh and blood of the dead in an attempt to rebuild the divine body.

Seven days later he took the ritual materials to the abode of the gods, where the people told the pilgrims: "All believers in the old gods have fallen."]

[Identity Card Fallen Savior]

…

Rose Manor.

The everlasting gray-purple sky hangs overhead, the pouring rain hits the muddy ground and splashes light smoke, and the arrogant roses weave a huge net on the stone wall of the castle, decorating a lonely tomb full of flowers.

Li, dressed in black, appeared among the flowers. The gray-white rain curtain turned a centimeter away from him, as if an invisible barrier separated a piece of dry void.

Li walked to the door of the castle, and the heavy door slowly opened, revealing an empty shell filled with vines.

The long table, candlesticks and mechanical clock disappeared to unknown places, and as far as the eye could see were dark green vines, stretching from all directions like chains, entangled in a bloody figure hanging in the middle.

"Qi, I took back the last remnants of the ancestor god." Li said to the man in the vines.

Qichui looked at the person coming for two seconds and sighed: "You are not a child anymore. I don't think it is necessary to report everything to me and ask for my opinion, right?"

Li Ziguo continued: "The rules tacitly allowed me to kill him, but they prevented me from possessing his authority; the rules collected his remnants into the 'tower', but tacitly allowed me to scatter his authority. I don't understand."

Qi smiled: "You understand, I just don't want to believe it. Look, I have told you a long time ago that we are not that important to Him. We are just emergency food for hunting and high-end ingredients with better taste. That’s all—you should have made plans earlier.”

The rain was noisy, and a few clusters of raindrops passed through the broken wall and fell into the castle interior, soaking a small area of ​​the ground.

The vines hanging from the air were swayed by the wind and rain, and swayed rustlingly.

After a long silence, Li changed the subject: "I can feel that you are about to truly die."

Qi's smile continued: "He won't die."

…

【You are dead】

Four large bloody characters were thrown in front of his eyes, scrawled as ferociously as if blood vessels had been torn out of the body.

Zeiss was suspended in the dark and lightless void. His mind could not tell the direction, and his limbs could not touch the entity. He seemed to be falling away from the planet in the vast universe.

It took him a long time to dig out his mind from the blank wave, recalling his experience and existence as a human being as "Zis", as if he had indeed died once, and then unraveled the secret in his womb by chance. puzzle.

He looked directly at the text in front of him and clicked his tongue: "If I remember correctly, 'alienation into a ghost' and death are not the same thing, right?"

The original text circles rippled and spread out, and the new bloody words seeped out on the paper in the void like water-soaked paint.

[Your soul should have been trapped in the game forever, but now, you have been given a chance to be reborn]

[Would you like to rejoin the game as a ‘ghost’? 】

Zeiss asked: "Is there any difference between 'ghost' identity and 'human' identity?"

[After becoming a ‘ghost’, you will no longer be recruited by the game to enter new dungeons, and you will not be able to obtain points rewards for actively matching dungeons]

[You will not be able to start live broadcasts and upload customs clearance videos; your records will not be included in the ranking of Sunset Ruins]

[You will walk in World No. 47 as a source of pollution that invades reality, spreading strange pollution around you anytime and anywhere]

Zeiss fell into thought.

It's not because the price is unacceptable, but because... the conditions are too generous.

He had heard about these three changes after becoming a ghost from Zhang Yiyu. He thought he would analyze specific issues in detail, but he did not expect that the contradictions were universal.

"No longer being recruited by the game" is definitely a harmless deal for many players who want to leave the game, which is equivalent to essentially getting rid of the death threat of the weird game.

Even for Chiss, "not being able to obtain point rewards" is indeed a bit troublesome, but the impact is limited.

He can completely control other players with [Soul Contract], [Poseidon Scepter] and [Scarlet Priest], draw points from others, and complete the accumulation.

The second price is even more dispensable. Qisi has no interest in live broadcasts and does not intend to disclose the clearance video, which can easily reveal his trump cards.

He wanted to remove his own records from the list.

Just when he started to worry that someone would find clues through the records, Weird Games told him that future records would have nothing to do with him. It was as if he was dozing off and someone gave him a pillow.

As for the third item... using weirdness to invade reality, isn't it something he has been doing and achieved good results?

After becoming a ghost, the only thing you need to pay attention to is not to be caught by the Weird Investigation Bureau like Zhang Yiyu.

But as we all know, Ziss, who controls the [Insomnia Germ], can lead the world into the era of deterrence at any time...

"I always feel like there's a trap... Since when did Weird Games become so kind?"

Qisi closed his eyes and reached out to grab a torn piece of paper floating in front of him.

[Goblin: Undead]

[Description: A corpse cursed by the blood of the ancestral god will continue to lose blood after being injured, unable to heal itself, and unable to die. The ability to move will not decrease due to injury, but after losing all the blood, it will fall into eternal sleep. ]

Qisi's mind moved, and the paper scattered into spots of light and sank into his body.

At the same time, in the darkness in the upper left corner of his vision, the light gray system interface reappeared, and the layout was changed as if it had been reinstalled and restarted, and a line of small words was added at the edge——

[Status: Undead (Goblin)]

The sound of warm fireworks bursting rang for a while, and a cold voice read in my ear:

[Congratulations on returning to the weird game]

The bloody text faded and was washed into a pure silver-white by the invisible water waves.

[Frog Hospital's rating level S, bonus points 5000]

[Frog Hospital's True End line cleared, bonus points 5000]

[Frog Hospital's dual world line unlocked, bonus points 5000]

[World view cracking degree 100%, bonus points 5000]

[Complete medium-difficulty side quests X2, bonus points 10000]

Qis found himself back in the temple without knowing when, sitting comfortably on a high-back chair, and the basic bonus points items were refreshed as usual.

Among them, the two medium-difficulty side quests he completed were "curing the disease on the body" on the Blue Frog Hospital side, and "letting the patients of the Blue Frog Hospital take a thousand tadpoles" on the Green Frog Hospital side.

He personally forced Lu Zimo to eat tadpoles, so it was reasonable to credit him.

While waiting for the settlement, Qi Si looked at his image in the full-length mirror.

The scarlet in his eyes infects his entire eyes, making his hair look as dark as night and his face as pale as a ghost.

Before entering the dungeon, his flawless white shirt was stained with mottled blood, and the red mist extending from his ID card draped over his shoulders.

The bright color did not come from the infiltration of blood, but from the changes brought about by the role-playing. The bleeding knife wound under his clothes and the burn marks on his heart had long since returned to a smooth pale color.

The three words [Undead] hung high in his vision, but it was obvious that "injuries in the dungeon will not be taken out of the game" as one of the core rules of the weird game was not affected by the characteristics of the ghosts themselves.

This was indeed good news.

[Unlock the achievement "Blasphemer" (actually pollute the ritual of the god-level NPC and become the object of its hatred), reward 1000 points]

Looking at the achievement icon in the shape of a drop of blood, Qis raised his hand and touched his cold face: "There is actually an achievement called Blasphemer. Does it mean that players should treat all beings equally and strike hard?

"It seems that the gods are not very united. They don't even pretend to show mercy to their own kind? ”

Qis had seen the discord between the gods from the game between Qi and Li, but he didn’t expect that the weird game would encourage players who were dominated to attack the gods who were high above them.

This has gone beyond the scope of internal contradictions. It’s simply crazy and doesn’t even let go of themselves. They don’t hesitate to leave hidden dangers of subverting the rule and dig their own graves.

It seems that... they are intentionally guiding players to dissolve the authority of the gods.

[Unlock the achievement "Seven Deadly Sins" (accumulate major malicious acts against other players in seven copies), and reward 1000 points]

[Unlock the achievement "Two-Faced Man" (change camps twice in a short period of time, and each has a significant impact), and reward 1000 points]

[Total reward points 33,000, deposited into the points account]

The points reward has been settled here, and the remaining two achievements are easy to understand. As always, they urge players to turn their butcher knives on their companions, and they are so shameless.

The skill of [Soul Contract] is unsealed after leaving the copy, and entering The text in the remarks column changed to:

[It can only be used three times in each dungeon. After exceeding the limit, the player will be immediately killed]

Some loopholes can only be exploited once. Qi Si knew that he could no longer abuse skills habitually in the future.

The consequences of alienating into a ghost were loud thunder and small raindrops, but it still sounded a warning to him: the situation in the dungeon will change in a thousand ways in the future, and using the trump card too early will only put himself in a passive position.

In the later stage of "Frog Hospital", when the soul contract skill was temporarily sealed, Qi Si could feel that he had lost contact with all the soul leaves.

If he had not given those tool people sufficient psychological hints and deterrence in the early stage, I am afraid that someone would take the opportunity to cause some trouble.

In the future, he will control more soul leaves, and accordingly, the impact caused by the skill being sealed will be greater. It is hard to guarantee that there will not be one or two fools who accidentally discover loopholes.

"The relationship maintained by the contract is not absolutely solid. After all, it still has to be suppressed by force and lured by benefits... It's troublesome. "

Qis sighed solemnly, but he also knew that some questions had no answers for thousands of years and could not be solved overnight.

He slumped on the high-back chair like a boneless man, his elbows resting on the armrests half supporting his arms, and his index finger tapping his chin from time to time.

The dome with red eyes was painted with a long and flowing mural, and the golden vines hanging down from the side were half-bright and half-dark, and the dust was running in the empty temple, flying into various shapes.

In silence, no new text was refreshed on the system interface for a long time.

Qisi straightened up and asked, "Where are the reward items for a perfect clearance of the dungeon?"

The scarlet on his head slowly expanded and contracted, and the red-clad priest in the upper right corner of the field of vision raised the cross in his hand.

In the rolling gray fog, the system interface froze for two seconds, and a few lines of text popped up reluctantly.

[Congratulations on obtaining the portable item "Director's Special Pass" in the "Frog Hospital" dungeon. The item has been stored in the item column]

[Name: Director's Special Pass]

[Note: The handwriting on it is a bit strange, but fortunately the hospital staff will not care so much. You can use it to enter and exit the Frog Hospital at any time. ]

In the item column below the field of vision, a page icon with black words appeared in the last grid, and the item information popped up after two seconds of attention.

Qisi almost understood that Weird Game knew that he had gained great benefits in "Frog Hospital" and did not intend to give him additional reward items.

Weird Game was as stingy as ever, but the value of the pass was indeed not cheap.

The effect of props that can enter and exit the dungeon at any time is rare, and when it is put on the market, it is enough to make most players drool.

You know, there are many players who are greedy for life and afraid of death, who are keen to earn points through investment and other means, and then spend points to enter simpler or more familiar dungeons to live a lazy life.

The pass can skip the matching steps, allowing players to enter a specific dungeon for free and survive the mandatory conscription every seven days. How can it not be envied?

But for Qi Si now, the purpose of the pass coincides with his characteristics as a ghost, and the value is not as great as imagined.

What's more, he has actually controlled the Frog Hospital through the Sea God Scepter, so it doesn't matter whether there is this pass or not.

As for putting the pass on the mall at the price of one million points to solve the problem of medical treatment once and for all, it is very unrealistic.

Players who attempt to escape the dungeon are unlikely to come up with such a large amount at one time, and players who can afford the money... I'm afraid they have other intentions when buying such props, and Qi Si doesn't intend to let them get what they want.

"Is this considered a reward item? It's obviously useless..." Qi Si expressed his dissatisfaction, and undoubtedly did not get a response from the weird game.

He stopped when he saw the good, took out the Sea God's Scepter from the prop column, and held it in his hand.

The scepter, which originally housed the remnant soul of the Sea God who tried to take over the body, had no idea what it had experienced. After it was in his hand, it was as quiet as a dead object, without transmitting any power fluctuations.

Fortunately, the effect of the prop is real. After sinking the consciousness into the inside of the scepter, it is easy to sense that it has established a connection with a certain land.

Qi Si zoomed in, and the floor plan of the Frog Hospital unfolded in the mind hall.

Including the corridor that was only 50 meters long after shrinking, the rooms on both sides were arranged like tombstones, the green pond outside the iron gate, and... Cheng An nailed to the wall with two scalpels.

In role-playing copies, after the player leaves, the original body he played will still exist in the copy world and move according to the original life trajectory.

At this moment, Cheng An, covered in blood, was struggling to lift his left arm, trying to pull out the scalpel nailed to his right hand.

Qi Si kindly called on the power of the Sea God's Scepter, causing the waves to roll him into the pond, giving him relief.

He brought some sea water and rain water to wash the bloody ground clean, and then Qi Si put down the Sea God's Scepter and began to count the unexpected gains of this copy.

First, the [Book of the Dead] obtained from Huang Xiaofei's siblings, the effect overlaps with the characteristics of ghosts, and it will not play a big role in the short term.

But the [Broken] logo next to the name made Qi Si think of the [Fate Pocket Watch].

Maybe this thing can also evolve like the [Fate Pocket Watch]?

Well, the future is promising.

Then there is the team ring - also obtained from Huang Xiaofei's siblings, Qi Si directly put the bloody ring on the middle finger of his right hand.

The experiences of the last two dungeons and the information given by the puppet master all made him realize the importance of a reliable tool man. It is better to recycle than to use local materials.

In the three minutes after the dungeon was cleared, he told Lin Chen his contact information, and believed that the latter would soon be happy to deliver himself to him for use.

Finally, there were some scattered relics of Huang Xiaofei and her brother, including a flashlight, a lighter, and a compass.

Qi Si accepted them all.

He looked at the account balance displayed as [134,000], and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "I still need 16,000 points to buy that prop..." (End of this chapter)
