Infinite spooky game

Chapter 155 Anchor Point

Will you be troubled by ghosts forever, or will you enter a strange game?

On the one hand, there is a certain death ending full of terror and pain, on the other hand, there is a glimmer of hope for the unknown future. The answer is no longer in doubt.

Even though most of the villagers didn't know what "weird games" and "main gods" were, they still seemed to be grasping at straws. They knelt down and kowtowed, crying and begging the gods for mercy.

Zes is not a true god and has no mercy. He only felt funny when he saw the villagers who had been full of malice towards him showing their humble side and begging for mercy.

"Are you willing to sign a contract, become a player, and enter the weird game?" He asked again.

The villagers kowtow again and chatter.

"willing!"

"We do!"

"We will do whatever you ask us to do!"

The shadow of the vines rises vertically from mid-air to the ground, nimbly entering every house where there are still people living there, and gently wrapping around everyone's wrists.

The eyes of the villagers entangled in the vines became hollow in an instant, like dead objects that had their souls swallowed up.

Qisi lowered his gaze and suddenly saw countless golden leaves looming in the void, vaguely outlining the shadow of a giant golden tree.

There are smaller trees and vines in each leaf, and there are new tiny leaves on each vine. Countless worlds and countless souls are just the branches and leaves of a tree.

Weird game is a tree.

The world is just a tree.

Qisi's eyes were drawn away uncontrollably. The clouds on both sides were decorated with golden light, and were pulled away like silk curtains.

He was blown away by the wind in the vast mist. The length of time became immeasurable and briefly lost its meaning.

His back suddenly hit the ground, and Qiss came to his senses and found that he had already sat back on the high-backed chair.

[The time you can stay in the game space at a time is 1 hour, and you can spend points to redeem more time]

【Do you want to spend 100 points to redeem 1 hour of stay? 】

Looking at the text that was refreshed, Qiss fell silent.

Two seconds later, he finally fell into the consumption trap of the weird game and threw 100 points into the duration of his stay.

The text disappeared, and he turned his head again to look at the vines beside him.

The golden fruit between the leaves seems to have grown a bit, and the shell that was originally just one piece has become much clearer and brighter, as if it has been painted with a thin layer of gilded glass.

Through the crystal clear shell, you can see the flowing mist and separated dust inside. Just like the beginning of creation after the explosion of the universe, flying and settling occurred at the same time, and it was slowly built into the size of a village.

The light and shadow flicker, and a few vines are fluttering in the fruit, and fine golden leaves grow on the branches, the shape of which is the same as the soul leaves.

These leaves are undoubtedly the souls of the villagers, and they have all passed through the "Fruit of the World" and returned to Qis's control.

The villagers entered the strange game through Zeiss, so they naturally belonged to him. He has authority over them that is similar to that of the main god of a weird game, and can even be in charge of the distribution of points and the rewards and punishments of props...

After his eyes stayed on the leaves for two seconds, the corresponding picture automatically appeared in front of his eyes.

The villagers have already entered the strange game and are scattered in different copies.

There are mountains, sea, forests, ancient houses and manors in the background.

There were a total of 109 players in this group of players thrown into the air. Some were looking around, seemingly very curious; some had blank eyes, as if they couldn't figure out the situation; others were panicking and crying. It looks like I won’t live long...

Only a small number of people are qualified to survive the first copy. However, with a large enough base, a game can generate a lot of points.

It doesn't matter even if they are all dead. It's a surprise that these people can be pulled into the game. They have mastered the method of transforming the ghost realm. The most indispensable thing in the world is consumables.

Zeiss could almost imagine that as long as he controlled enough souls, even if he no longer entered the dungeon himself in the future, he could still accumulate a large amount of points by extracting the points of these players who were controlled by him.

In weird games, points can buy anything. He entered the game thirty-six years late, and the gap between him and the veteran players is mainly composed of prop reserves and experience knowledge. As long as he has enough points, any gap can be bridged in a short time...

"Am I trying to turn this weird game into a farming game?" Zis made a joke out of his usual sense of humor.

For him, interesting and exciting dungeons are the most valuable thing in the weird game. Even if he has accumulated enough points and cured his illness, he will still frequently enter the dungeons to experience various novel mechanisms.

It has been almost a month since I first entered the weird game.

Amoral carnival, grand absurd farce, blood, killing and death, Ziss wandered around the copy almost intoxicated, treating it as a huge show and stage.

Countless things that are not allowed in reality and must be hidden have become naked and straightforward in another extreme world. There is no such thing as public order, good customs and moral justice, only interests, the law of the jungle and individualism.

A strong sense of belonging attracts Ziss, as if it is his fate and future direction.

As time goes by, the real world gradually fades in his eyes, becoming illusory and distant; the scenes in the copy become clearer and clearer, with colors as bright as impressionist oil paintings.

Zis gradually lost interest in the real world, and at the same time looked forward to entering the dungeon more and more, as if... that was the so-called reality.

He knew in his heart that this was a kind of assimilation, but he was happy with it.

[You have established an anchor point (Qijia Village) in "World No. 47" and obtained some permissions]

A line of text popped up in front of my eyes and was coldly read by an electronic voice.

Zeis came to his senses and asked nonchalantly: "What is World No. 47?"

[This is the name of the world your body is in. It is the name of the previous main god editor; if you want, you can replace it with another name]

The previous main god... was he in agreement?

What a simple and crude naming...

"Change the name to 'The Real World'."

Zeiss changed his name to something easier to remember and asked the next question: "What is the anchor point?"

[An anchor point is a stable connection between you and a certain world. After obtaining enough anchor points, you will be able to control all existence of the world and write the past and future of the world]

"If you turn a place into a ghostland and completely control the people and things in it, does that count as establishing an anchor?"

Zeiss narrowed his eyes.

Although he had known for a long time that the real world was just a corner among thousands of worlds, and that the identity of the weird game was above the world, but he still couldn't maintain his inner peace when he suddenly learned that he had the power to "write" the world.

The safe house in common perception no longer exists, and the last barrier between reality and weirdness has been broken.

The sense of reality is further abstracted, and the real world seems to be just a virtual reality game composed of programs. It is no different from other dungeon worlds, just one of thousands of worlds that provide material for weird games.

Ordinary people may feel helpless, scared and at a loss when they learn the cold rules and the truth about the origin of the world.

All Chiss felt was ecstasy.

"It's really... getting closer and closer to the authority of gods..."

Spying and interfering with reality is definitely an interesting thing.

Is reality real or a game? What’s the difference? Ziss knew that the expression "enough" was likely to be an elusive pie. The first anchor point was established by turning the entire Qijia Village into a ghost domain; if a few more anchor points are established, the evil spirits may invade the entire city, or even the entire world.

Such a large-scale strange invasion will inevitably attract the attention and resistance of the Bureau of Investigation, and the advancement of subsequent plans will only become more difficult.

But in the face of the huge interests of controlling the world, no amount of difficulties seems worth mentioning.

"It's too far to think about this now. Let's test the operation of Qijia Village after it is turned into a ghost domain. After a complete experience is formed, we can then find a way to promote it to the next place."

Chiss mentally recalled several cases in which he was dazzled by interests, and then he managed to calm down and analyze as rationally as possible: "The statue of the God of Joy is rare. If you want to extradite other weird things to reality, you may need to clear the customs." More copies. Or accumulate enough points to buy some props that can have a large-scale impact on reality..."

Qisi made a decision and reached out to touch Dong Zixi's soul blade.

This guy should be in the dungeon, surrounded by trees, with huge leaves overlapping each other, blocking the sunlight.

This seems to be a tropical rain forest, with mosquitoes flying around and a few strange plants seen from time to time.

A group of men and horses chopped down bushes to clear a path. Dong Zixi was mixed in the group, looking around and complaining in a low voice: "Are you asking us to play wilderness survival? There won't be a part of finding food and eating bugs by ourselves..."

This guy probably passed directly through the novice pool and was counted as an official player.

He frequently cleared the game at a frequency of one copy a day, and he didn’t know how he could have such a high enthusiasm for the game without the incentive of “terminating the contract after clearing a hundred copies.”

Qisi guessed that Dong Zixi was eager to realize his wish, so he was keen on completing dungeons and accumulating points.

In order to help him maintain this enthusiasm for a longer period of time, Zisi directly withdrew 20,000 points from his account and deposited 20,000 points into his own account.

Then, Qisi extended his hand to Liu Yuhan's soul blade.

The moment his fingers touched it, the picture slowly opened in front of his eyes.

The clouds are misty, the sky is blue, and rows of buildings are arranged in front of us. They are a common style in reality. Judging from the regulations, they seem to be single apartments.

The screen zoomed in a little bit, and Zis's perspective passed through the building and entered a room.

The room is simply decorated with sparse furniture. There is a girl in light blue pajamas sitting in front of the desk, tapping the computer keyboard flexibly with her five fingers.

The girl's hair was messy, and her face seemed to be unwashed and gray. It was probably because he didn't know how to go out that he dared to be so unkempt.

Ziss zoomed in closer and saw the clearance guide being edited on the computer. He suddenly realized that this was not a copy, but reality.

"It's already here, why don't you enter the dungeon?"

Qisi shook his head.

After realizing the benefits of collecting points, he now has a bit of a capitalist mentality. When he thinks that Liu Yuhan is still resting in reality and does not enter the dungeon to work for him, he feels uncomfortable all over.

"Wait, can I actually see her movements in reality?"

Qis suddenly noticed something was wrong.

The soul contract exists based on the dungeon. After signing the soul contract in the dungeon and controlling the player's soul, he can theoretically only see every move of the players in the dungeon.

This was indeed the case at first. Only when Liu Yuhan was in the dungeon, he could see her through the soul leaves; after Liu Yuhan left the dungeon, he could only see a dim starry sky with floating light spots.

So what's the situation now?

"Is it because I established an anchor point in Qijia Village and my control over the real world has increased? Or is it because the Poseidon Scepter absorbed enough sins and gave me more authority that belongs to God?"

There are various speculations in Qisi's heart, which cannot be verified, but they lead to the same goal through different paths.

With a thought in his mind, he called softly: "Liu Yuhan."

The girl at the desk seemed oblivious and continued to tap on the keyboard.

He raised his voice and called again: "Liu Yuhan!"

The girl remained motionless.

Zeiss therefore knew that at this time he was unable to influence the players in reality.

But this is enough. Being able to peek in secret means that he can obtain a large amount of intelligence, thereby creating the illusion of his "omniscience and omnipotence" and forming a deterrent.

And he believes that as long as more weird things are extradited to reality, one day he will be able to obtain all permissions.

Qisi took away 20,000 points from Liu Yuhan's account before taking back his hand and letting his vision return to the temple again.

At this point, the total points in his account have exceeded 100,000, and he can buy good props.

He entered the mall, his eyes wandered between the prop display windows, and finally landed on a rusty paper knife.

[Name: Paper Knife for Self-Mutilators]

[Effect: No matter what kind of wound is caused, the injured person will never really die]

[Remarks: Its original owner sank in great despair, but ultimately lacked the courage to achieve final relief, and could only resort to self-harm to release the pain]

This is a knife that cannot kill people. It seems very useless at first glance, but it is not.

No matter what, the injured person will not die. It is simply a weapon at the level of the law of cause and effect. There is definitely something to be discovered.

What's more, Zeiss has already thought of its excellent use——

Tortured to extract confessions and tortured to death.

Qisi lowered his gaze and looked at the price.

[Price: 150000 points]

Great, but still can’t afford it.

A renewal prompt pops up again:

[The length of stay has been exhausted, points can be redeemed for more time]

【Do you want to spend 500 points to redeem 1 hour of stay? 】

"No," said Qiss, "I'm going to enter the dungeon."

The silver-white words dissipated into a pile of strokes, and reorganized into new words in two seconds:

[Please enter the instance within 3 minutes, otherwise fees will be automatically deducted]

Qiss: "..."

He put on the human skin mask, put on his hiking bag, stood up and stepped into the life-size mirror nearby.

[Randomly generating a copy]

[The copy is loading...Loading completed...]

　Thanks to the 466 points rewarded by Shen Mu from the world, Si Qi received your two blades and gave you two knives/bushi (current reward progress: 4813/10000)
