I am the Grim Reaper, an intelligent NPC. After accidentally saving someone, the main brain gave me a disguise and sent me to work overtime.
I don't want to go out, I don't want to wo...
Chapter 27: I feel bad. I have to work overtime today*…
*
That should have been the end of it.
The blessing only summons the illusion of the Lord of Light, not the real Lord. This process is very fast, but in the next second, more brilliant light splashes down like the first handful of water for the baptism of a newborn, making people feel relaxed and happy.
But in this situation, I couldn't help but feel a chill in my heart.
Sure enough, when that figure appeared here, the Green Tea Manual popped up again.
[A. This is a handsome and powerful thigh. Why don't you kneel down and praise it in a hundred different ways! ]
[B. Give the other person a cold snort. As your most beloved believer, I am your Son of God. You didn't come to me first. There is something wrong with you. I don't want to talk to you anymore.]
【C. Don’t be awkward and inadvertently show off your beauty to seduce the other person’s heart! 】
The words flashed in a bright and despairing color. Please, Lucifer, take this book back.
I don't think I need this skill at all. If I really do this, it will be a real way to die.
No one paid attention to my crazy thoughts, the light in front of me became brighter and brighter, and finally weaved into a blank space where only I and Him existed.
The layers of flowers are in full bloom, beautiful and shimmering. The wind blows and sweeps up gentle waves, shining in the faint light.
The eternal sun is suspended in the sky, dazzling but not scorching. The sun is the realm of the God of Light, so the church believes that once you step into the light, you can glimpse the truth.
If I didn't know where this was, I'd be a fool.
I swallowed and shouted dryly.
"My Lord."
"Welcome back, Ann."
A clear voice came into my ears, with a hint of smile. His presence always made people feel like spring breeze. No one could fail to love Him, because He was a god born in glory, and He was the Lord of Glory.
He is the messenger of justice in this world, the embodiment of perfection. No matter how many words are used to describe Him, they are not enough.
But because of this, I kept a very safe distance from him and didn't dare to cross the line in the slightest.
The Lord of Light sighed softly, "I'm sorry, I didn't expect the Lord of Darkness to do this, which is why you were in danger."
Good news, now I know what a cheap believer is called.
Bad news, the Lord of Light didn't recognize me.
As a god of the same status - no, I definitely can't beat Him now. Since it hasn't been exposed, Lucifer must have done something behind the scenes.
Between telling the other party the truth and obeying the leader, I chose the latter without hesitation. It was not the first time that I had offended Samuel. I was really afraid that I would fall to my death on the road if I offended Lucifer.
So I just bowed my head even deeper and responded respectfully, “You never make mistakes.”
I think this is the best answer, but He didn't say anything.
Silence spread between us. I really couldn't understand it. When I was chatting with the bearded man, we had a heated argument and could discuss a single issue for decades. In the end, neither of us was convinced and I ended up pushing him into the river.
But now, I will end up chatting with anyone I meet. Is it because I have been used to talking to the dead for so many years and am no longer used to talking to the living?
But I definitely couldn't say these words, so I just kept awe on my face. My heart was turbulent, wondering if there was some unspeakable secret between the other party and the cheap believer.
The Lord of Light said, "I'm sorry, An. I promised your father that I would protect you forever. Your father is my most devout believer who sacrificed himself to maintain the purity of his faith. Later, I will make the Lord of Darkness pay the price."
His voice was very gentle, as if he were talking to a beloved child. No one would be willing to criticize such a god. But to me, Samuel's words were simply deafening.
Silence, silence, and silence.
Wait, let me sort out the current situation.
The cheap believer's father was a devout believer of the Lord of Light, who died to uphold his faith. His child was a rare incarnation of God, who could receive the power of the gods and allow the gods to walk in the world in human bodies.
In view of these two reasons, the Lord of Light established him as his Son. The Lord of Darkness naturally could not miss this opportunity and started a fierce battle with the other party. In the end, no matter what the reason was, the believer died.
He did not believe in the Lord of Light for whom his father had devoted his life, nor did he choose to join his enemy. Instead, he experienced the changes in the human world too early and felt exhausted, so he wanted to return to eternal sleep.
Under this premise, he, who had no faith, came to my kingdom of God and met me, who was in charge of rowing the boat.
His soul was able to enter the Sleeping Dunes and find the peace he wanted, and I got my only believer in a thousand years and was reborn in his body.
"......"
I suddenly remembered what the bearded man had said to me before.
[Some time ago, a group of players who changed their jobs to become followers of the God of Darkness relied on their high level to plunder a temple of the God of Light. This made the God of Light furious, and now he has issued an oracle to hunt them down.]
[I just discovered that something went wrong, and the god came to you. Since he is already dead, you should complete the script for him. Go ahead and do your job well.]
【Why are you here? 】
【Sorry, Ann.】
It's so strange. There is no loophole in all this, as if there is an invisible big hand controlling everything behind the scenes. We are all its pawns, being guided to dance.
Thus, fate turns into a cyclical snake.
And we are all entangled in it.
*
A long, long time ago, I had a conversation with the goddess of fate.
This mysterious goddess has her eyes covered with black cloth and holds the needle, thread and scissors in her hands to weave her destiny.
Whenever there is a mistake in fate, it is cut off and discarded, and then sewn up with needle and thread.
Destiny is twisted in his hands, intertwined with the veins of the world, forming an endless cycle. He sits at the foot of the Seventh Mountain all year round, and the mountain is full of time flowers. These flowers record the trajectory of time and can reverse the past and the future. It is a sacred object that everyone desires.
These flowers have another name among players, called [Resurrection Talisman].
In "God's Blessing 2.0", players must go to the temple to revive after death. However, as long as they have a time flower, they can be resurrected on the spot. A time flower can only be effective once, and then they have to go to the dungeon again.
The annoying thing is that the Seventh Mountain is a moving instance. You may encounter it this time, but it may not be in the same place next time.
Therefore, you can often see players running around the land cursing, trying to find where the Seventh Mountain has hidden.
I met this goddess by accident while wandering.
The Seven Mountains are shaped like an inverted bell, with layers of mountains stacked one on top of another, and their outlines hidden in the misty fog.
The goddess of fate raised her head, and I saw the ribbons behind her head flying in the air, like two ouroboros chasing each other.
He said to me, "Life and death are a cycle, and so is destiny. You will reap what you sow, and what you do will have its consequences. So don't worry about it, Your Highness. It has already been priced in destiny."
I had a reasonable suspicion that she was trying to blackmail me and get money out of me, but Destiny insisted that she would not do such a thing.
Well, since He said so, I will believe it.
In my doubt, the goddess of fate sighed softly: "Destiny has already got what it wanted, Parka. I just want to remind you that you are too arrogant. Not everything will develop as you want and get the results you want."
I kind of forgot what I answered at first, but it was definitely not a good answer. Now, looking at the god in front of me, I truly understand what reincarnation is.
I knew I had accidentally stepped into a trap, but I had no idea. If I were given another chance, I would be respectful to the goddess of fate and avoid this fate of working overtime.
Unfortunately, it was too late, which was really heartbreaking. Facing the concern of the Lord of Light, I, who knew nothing, could only remain silent.
Seeing that I hadn't said anything, the Lord of Light sighed softly and placed his fingertips on my forehead.
A huge amount of radiant power was injected into the body, and then shattered in the next second. The excess power could not be stored, and then materialized behind him, emitting a soft glimmer.
I opened my eyes, and the kingdom of God shattered in front of me, and Samuel's face turned into flowing light. The six wings gently closed, and translucent feathers fell. The golden feathers moved with the wind and fell among everyone.
[The Lord of Glory performs miracles and blessings]
[You have been infused with divine power, which can activate the second form (temporary)]
[Congratulations on completing the job transfer process and obtaining a new mark]
[Glorious One: You once had a brief exchange with the god who symbolizes glory, and he promised to always watch over you. The speed of the Lord of Glory's favorability increase increases by 50%, and the basic favorability is respect. The Church of Glory regards you as an ally.]
[Holy Son of Glory: You are the hope chosen by the Lord, you are His darling. The secular world is like a passing cloud to you, everything will be subservient to you. The speed of the Lord of Glory camp's favorability increase increases by 100%, and the basic favorability is reverence. The Church of Glory is your most reliable backing, and when necessary, you can even regard the gods as your trump card. ]
Amid the continuous system notification sounds, God whispered to me. His golden hair brushed against my ear like a beam of bright light.
"Go ahead, and you will have everything you want."

As soon as the cut scene disappeared, the players started howling again.
"Oh my baby is so cute! His little face is so tender that you can squeeze water out of it. He is so cute and he reads every word with a straight face. It's so cute, so cute, so cute that I am going to faint!"
"Do you understand the value of this face? Do you understand the beauty of a young boy? Six-winged archangel! This is my six-winged archangel!"
"I beg the authorities to release shorts. I will lick them for the rest of my life!"
"I have watched the CG of the Lord of Light at least dozens of times, and this is the one that I think is the most appropriate. The Lord of Light and His beloved Son of God... "
"I thought the scene of the Knight Commander's blessing ceremony yesterday was already beautiful, but I didn't expect there would be new excitement. Official, you will get two chicken legs in your meal today! Add two!"
In the eyes of players, only appearance is justice. I looked at the round-faced monk next to me with sympathy. Before me, he was the executor of the blessing ceremony.
But in the eyes of this group of players, if they are not good-looking, they are the type who will fast forward every time the CD is over. So I can only silently wish him a happy birthday.
The power of light flowed through my body, almost turning into a sun. The power of death lived on the other side, separated by the solid power of deception.
This situation is like a box, with a partition in the middle, so the two sides will not conflict with each other. As a price, that part of the fraud power has been solidified, and it has no other use except switching faces.
To be honest, I'm quite reluctant to give it up. The power of fraud is very useful.
But compared to being discovered by the Lord of Light that I am a fake, I'd better be a good Son of Light.
After calming down, I smiled brightly and gently at the players again.
As a highly intelligent NPC with excellent qualities, I know exactly what my role is.
I am the toy of the players. I am responsible for providing my face when they want to match me up, providing an object of abuse when they curse the plot, and providing comfort when they are in a bad mood.
It can be said that my existence is to bring happiness to players. The reason why the masterminds give different NPCs complete personalities and settings and arrange various plots is to allow players to go deep into them and immerse themselves in this illusory world.
Therefore, facing the enthusiastic support from the players, my performance was impeccable. At this moment, I felt like I was possessed by the Lord of Glory, and my whole body was glowing.
"It's a pleasure to meet you, fellow believers. I am happy for your pious hearts and believe that you are all among the best warriors."
"Right now, the Knight Commander is in the forest suppressing the beast tide. If you have the energy to spare, please go there and lend a hand. I will pray to my Lord to protect you with His mighty power."
"The little saint's voice is so nice! Who recorded it?"
"Me, me, me! Sister, add me as a friend and I'll send it to you!"
"This cute and adorable lady is so adorable!"
"Alright, alright, you can come and see the Knight anytime you want. The Knight Commander is in the forest today, so we won't see him again after today."
"Why don't you hurry up and meet me by chance!"
"Yeah, maybe I can even get a mission. The Radiant Church is very wealthy, and the mission rewards are very generous. I've been eyeing this for a long time!"
Hearing this, the people in front of me dispersed and ran out of the city.
Only a few life players and scenery lovers were still taking pictures of me. From their expressions and various nervous movements, I guessed that they were taking pictures with me.
Well, who says this isn't love?
I had no choice but to cooperate and smile until they finished taking pictures and started chatting contentedly, and then I walked to the backcourt at the priest's repeated urging.
After leaving the auditorium, the round-faced priest's brows never relaxed: "Sir, you really dote on them too much. With your status, you don't have to be so condescending."
I remained calm and said, "They are believers of our Lord and respectable warriors. We should treat them with kindness."
The round-faced priest had a subtle expression, and it was unknown what he was thinking about. Finally, he just coughed.
"I'm sorry, you're right, I was too aggressive... I was just a little worried about you."
I turned my head and smiled at him: "I understand. Don't worry, they are God's people, they won't do anything to me. Besides, even if there are problems, don't you still have you here?"
When he heard what I said, he was stunned for a moment, and a hint of emotion appeared in his eyes.
"...Thank you for your trust. I will definitely not let you down."
"Then I'll leave it to you."
As expected of a new equipment, the speed of gaining favor is first-rate. Just a few words moved the other party so much, no wonder Samuel told me to do whatever I want, with the support of the Glorious Church.
I returned to the dressing room with satisfaction. The servants were delighted and helped me change my clothes attentively.
“I didn’t expect you to be so amazing!”
I raised my hands and looked at myself in the mirror. "There's nothing to praise about this. You can do it, too. Just stay calm."
"We would definitely be scared to death if we go up there. You are so awesome, Saint Son!"
They chirped like a flock of sparrows. I looked up and listened for a while, then smiled and said, "Are you worried that I will do something wrong when I go on stage?"
The servants blushed and stammered, "After all, you are still very young. When we were your age, we didn't know what we were doing every day. I didn't expect that you could complete a worship service by yourself and trigger blessings. You are amazing!"
The so-called blessing is just a game CG, and in the eyes of players, it is just a buff that can be obtained every day. But in the eyes of these ordinary NPCs, only a pious and powerful priest can trigger such a miracle.
As a young and unfamiliar Son of God, he can do this, so his faith is undoubtedly pure. Add to that the 150% increase in favorability. If you give me enough time, I can make the entire church my backyard.
However, I won’t do such boring things.
After church, it was already morning. The Knight Commander took the wolf cub to the forest, and I basked in the sun for a while until I was warm all over before going to the restaurant for lunch.
Today's lunch is grilled pork chops with mushroom and onion cream soup, served with crispy toasted white bread slices and butter, the drink is milk, and the after-meal fruit is fresh berries.
The chef's cooking is very good. The white bread slices are filled with thick soup, adding a touch of salty flavor. The pan-fried pork chop is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. When cut, it reveals a beautiful pink surface, rich in gravy and very chewy.
After a good lunch, I took a nice nap. This is the life I want.
When I woke up sleepily, before I could rub my eyes, I was facing a serious face.
My heart skipped a beat and I had a very bad feeling.
Anka said anxiously, "Sir, this is bad! We have lost contact with the Knight Commander and his men!"
“…”
I am Parka, the God of Death. Currently, I am hiding in the Church of Light in the body of a believer who has descended from God. I am following the orders of my superior and following the plot.
If I were given another chance, I would never take this cheap believer ashore.
No, I will definitely not offend the goddess of fate, at least I will ask the other party if there is a chance to change his fate!!
