Chapter 139: "The Ghosts and Gods" 15 Don't set a flag...

With each replay, the game becomes more vigilant, which is definitely detrimental to their success.

"Do you have any other questions?"

Zhuci began: "The reason why he didn't recognize me in the game is..."

Zhou Nian smiled softly: "After reaching an agreement with Youxi, he and the other two can maintain the state they were in before becoming gods, but the price is to maintain Youxi's authority. And you are the one he wants to destroy."

"However, with the help of me and a few others, such as Yidhaila, you were always difficult to kill, so they decided to kill you when you were young. However... Zhuci, you are still difficult to kill."

Congratulations: "..."

"Hey, compared to the beginning, this time he's just a minor fight. You don't know, he left one twentieth of his slice in the dungeon to kill you, and the rest went out to accompany you. You should forgive him." Zhou Nian sighed, "After all, the game also needs a little bit of his soul to stay as a hostage."

"I understand." Zhu Ci nodded. This time he didn't feel sad about being cheated.

On the contrary, he had always been afraid that Shen Wu would like him for no reason, which was one of the reasons for his resistance. He always felt that love was something far away from him.

However, if love grew out of hatred, he would just find it funny and feel a little sympathetic towards Shen Wu.

From a certain perspective, falling in love with him is a kind of torture.

"It's so quiet, I thought you were going to make a big scene." Zhou Nian suddenly said.

Although Zhou Nian's words were sometimes unreliable, they were not groundless, so Zhu Ci was very confused: "Why do you think so? Have I done this before?"

"That's not the case. Before, you always had a cold face and held a knife to kill people." Zhou Nian's voice slowly floated out of the puppet.

Congratulations: "Really?"

"Yes, you were like that before. Besides, what did that guy mean to you? He was just someone who approached you with ulterior motives, or in other words, a natural enemy."

Yes, the enemy.

Zhu Ci lowered his eyes, his tears had dried up. So that was how it was. When he heard the truth, he felt nothing in his heart. Originally, in his heart, being betrayed and deceived was normal.

I’m afraid there’s some sincerity mixed in with this.

"Time is running out, our time." Zhou Nian said, "There is no time to talk more. When everything is over, I can rest in peace."

"Well, hopefully, we can all rest in peace."

…

Zhu Ci looked ahead at the road where a light was already on.

Mo Anan walked over there, and now he can go and see the scenery on the road that intersects with her. Would it be better than the white snow?

…

Half an hour ago.

"Do you really want to go in?" Zhou Yang couldn't help but question.

Qi Shiyu said nothing, but just walked forward.

His ability to pass the dungeon was naturally unquestionable. Not only did he quickly find the passage connecting the Yin and Yang worlds, he even quickly discovered the background story of this world.

The village, which had once prospered because of the appearance of the gods, trapped the gods in the underground palace in the name of worship in order to gain more wealth.

This matter was discovered by the gods, who sent down divine punishment based on the breath of the living people in the village.

In order to survive, the villagers sent the living people in the village into the underground palace to hide from the eyes and ears of the people in heaven, and then tricked outsiders into it to be possessed by the dead souls of the villagers. After they came out, they were half-dead.

But they actually knew that the villagers were able to survive entirely because of God's mercy. His overflowing power was used to purify the resentment of the dead and give them a chance to be reborn.

During this process, the gods in the underground palace were also polluted by the breath of death and fell into a deep sleep, and it was difficult for the people sent in to be resurrected. The resentment of the people who were deceived into entering was difficult to eliminate, but because it was difficult for their souls to break free from the constraints, they gradually became evil spirits like raised pigs and began to actively devour the lives of living people.

They have forgotten why they are like this, they just want to be free.

…

Although some people had doubts, they did not dare to leave Qi Shiyu because they would rather follow someone who seemed trustworthy than be at a loss.

Xue Ming and Ye Chao were responsible for clearing the way and dealing with the rocks.

However, Qi Shiyu suddenly stopped in a secret room. His expression froze and he suddenly became more serious than ever before.

"What's wrong?"

"Mo Yangbing is missing." Qi Shiyu said.

He and Mo Yangbing led the players to explore the Yin and Yang sides respectively, and agreed to use a prop to communicate.

But when he used the tool, there was no response.

"Don't worry, maybe we just can't get in touch." Xue Ming noticed something different in his tone.

Qi Shiyu didn't say anything. He just stood there quietly and took out the props given to him by Mo Anan.

He remembered what Mo Anan said to him before entering the dungeon after the guild asked someone with the ability to predict the future to make a prediction for them.

"President, thank you for always taking care of me and my brother."

Qi Shiyu joked at the time: "You two are much easier to raise than kittens and puppies."

Mo Anan lowered her eyes and smiled, but said: "The president is like a family member to us."

"Why are you so serious all of a sudden? Little girl, you are not worried about your brother, right? Don't worry, I have a solution."

"Everyone will be safe. I believe in you. When you come back, you will see the best gift."

"An An, I will always be waiting for you." Her eyes were clear and gentle. At that moment, Qi Shiyu felt that she was no longer like the frightened little girl that Mo Yangbing always talked about.

…

"There is a curse in the dungeon. Death will punish those who use their abilities skillfully. They will die after using their abilities."

"That was the most tragic moment. Not only did I die at the hands of the game, but I also died at my own hands. This is also a kind of punishment, the price for humans to use abilities that should not belong to them. The game gives you so much power, and at the moment of your death it cruelly tells you that you don't deserve it at all."

…

This is the deepest curse in the game, and it is also the root fear that every ability user tries to avoid using their abilities in high-level dungeons.

But when death and curse come at the same time, there seems to be no choice.

Qi Shiyu could feel it deeply.

Something happened to Mo Yangbing, and An An might have been in trouble too.

The same goes for the congratulatory speech.

Especially Mo Yangbing, his death trajectory is the most traceable, it is nothing more than a rampage of power, loss of reason, and loss of humanity like a beast.

"Qi Shiyu." Ye Chao suddenly patted his shoulder heavily, "Wake up, you have led us into a dead end. Are you crying your heart out for us in advance with this expression?"

"Tsk." Qi Shiyu lowered his head and suddenly laughed, "Got it, let's go look for Zhu Ci."

…

"Wait, that." Ye Chao suddenly whispered, "Chen Yinan just told me that she went to look for Mo Yangbing."

"And then?"

"Gone." Ye Chao said. He frowned, looking reluctant, "It's just gone."

Qi Shiyu: “Yeah.”

He said nothing, but just picked up his feet and continued walking forward.

It wasn't until they were led into a dead end that the others realized how much he cared.

"Okay, next, you should go and rest." Xue Ming took a step forward, "The president still asked me to bring more insurance."

"Didn't you notice?" Qi Shiyu suddenly said, "The ground is no longer shaking."

Indeed, the road is now calm and there is no rolling debris.

"Zhu Ci must still be alive." Qi Shiyu said.

"Why are you so obsessed with that newcomer, Qi Shiyu, have you forgotten who you are?" Ye Chao said.

Qi Shiyu shook his head and just smiled: "You don't understand. I asked someone to calculate it before. As long as Zhu Ci can survive, we can survive."

"Does this work?" Several people looked delighted.

Of course, they were fooled. Qi Shiyu secretly sighed in his heart, how could it be so easy to fool.

He didn't know whether Zhu Ci was dead or alive. But Qi Shiyu wanted to try his luck to survive. These fools still believed in him so firmly, which reminded him of the feeling of leading a newbie in a dungeon for the first time.

"Maybe, we just need to awaken that god." Qi Shiyu said.

If the god who can purify resentment in the background story wakes up again, all problems will be solved.

"How do you wake me up?"

Qi Shiyu glanced at the watch on his left hand.

"Here, at nine o'clock, light the first candle."

Xue Ming did as he said, and sure enough, he saw a candle in the corner of the room.

After the candles were lit, they saw a majestic portrait appear on the wall in front of them, which seemed to be used to ward off evil spirits.

"It really works, Qi Shiyu, it turns out you are not wandering around anymore." Ye Chao shouted.

"Of course. The people who built the underground palace would be afraid of seeing ghosts, so they would definitely leave a glimmer of hope. What's more, there was actually a hint in the murals at the beginning." Qi Shiyu said.

"How many candles are left?"

"Seven, and four are on the shady side. Xiaobing should have lit two of them." Qi Shiyu said.

"Hmph, okay, there are only five left, why don't we order them separately?" Ye Chao said.

Qi Shiyu shook his head: "No, let's go together."

Ye Chao was about to ask why, but he suddenly remembered his missing teammate and kept silent.

Indeed, this underground palace is too messy. If they are not careful, they will be the only ones left. It is safer for them to stick together.

So they continued to search for the three candles, and their journey was relatively safe, thanks to the blessing that attracted the ghosts away.

Now we have to go to the shady side.

"I understand. The ghosts that Zhu Ci took away are actually all in the dark side. Zhu Ci was dragged in by them, so the dark side is the most dangerous." Zhou Yang suddenly said.

The others suddenly looked at him.

"What, what happened?"

"It's okay, I just feel that you react quite slowly." Ye Chao said.

"Actually, you have just figured it out. The president just said it to remind everyone to be careful of the danger." Xue Ming said.

"Xue Ming, have you ever thought that if you go to the other side, the guy in your body will be out of control." Zhou Yang suddenly said.

Xue Ming was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Zhou Yang to mean this.

"I've been there, and I came back alive, didn't I?" Xue Ming looked at him cautiously, "President, I want to go with you. I'm worried about you, and you're worried about me, right?"

"What if you mutate then?" Ye Chao asked.

"Then I will definitely cut off one of my arms before that." Xue Ming said immediately.

"What's wrong with you? I don't want you anymore, you have broken arms and legs."

"Haha, okay, President, I will definitely control myself."

Qi Shiyu said calmly: "Stop raising flags. I don't want to see what you are saying."
