The weird game of the ancient gods

I'll wipe it! What is this situation? Xia Yu looked at the piece of meat in front of him in shock. He picked up the chopsticks and stirred it. Yes, the meat actually twitched slightly, as if its nerves were still alive.

Xia Yu was a little frightened now. Thinking about how much he had eaten before, he couldn't help but feel a little nervous. Could there be something wrong with it?

But considering that this store has been open for so long, I haven't heard of anyone having any problems with the food. I guess there should be no problem, but to be on the safe side, I'll have to ask Longqi to help purify it later.

In the past, he would have been frightened to death, but after all, he had experienced ten days of survival in the apocalyptic wasteland, eaten a lot of strange things, and his nerves had been trained to be extremely tough, and he didn't have any fear at all. Scared, just a little surprised.

In fact, it is not surprising that the meat can move. When the meat is first cut from the animal, because the nerve endings are not completely dead, it is normal for it to move a few times.

Even carps can continue to breathe even when their meat is cooked. Although it looks scary, it can be explained by science.

But the change from cooked meat to raw meat is a bit outrageous. There is definitely something mysterious in it.

No, we have to investigate.

He was going to investigate the background of this store, especially the identity of the owner, and maybe he could find out something. But before that, he would ask Longqi to help him purify it.

He turned on his phone and sent a message to Longqi.

Traveler: "Is the Dragon Rider here?"

Longqi: "Here, do you have anything to do with me?"

Traveler: "I have your anti-radiation protective suit. Do you want it again? If you want, I will send it to you. Also, help me purify it. I have eaten some unclean things recently, so I am a little worried."

Longqi: "Okay, I'm at the Guangming Church on Huangjiang Road. You come here to find me. You can keep the clothes for yourself. It's of no use if I keep them."

Traveler: "Why are you going to church?"

Longqi: "Isn't this what you told me? Find a church or temple to cover up your identity. I don't want to shave my head, so I found a church to make do."

Xia Yu hung up the phone, feeling a little funny, but he didn't expect that Longqi's casual comment actually took it to heart.

He went out and took a taxi straight to Guangming Church on Huangjiang Road, arriving at his destination half an hour later.

This Guangming Church is somewhat famous in the Magic City. It is a colonial building left over from the old era. It has a unique shape and is also a famous attraction.

A white sign hangs on the church door.

Guangming Cathedral - Three Christian Offices in the Magic City of China.

It's quite characteristic of China.

Entering the church, he didn't see any priests or nuns, but there were quite a few tourists taking photos and checking in and recording videos. Xia Yu found the Dragon Rider in the fourth row at the back and found that this guy was wearing a monk's uniform and holding his forehead while praying. .

When I took a closer look, I realized where he was praying. He was clearly playing with his phone with his head down.

"Dragon Rider, here I come."

Long Qi then put down his cell phone and complained, "Oh, it's not easy to pretend to be a magic stick. I've been here for three days and listen to preaching every day. It's boring. If not, I might as well become a Buddhist or a layman. ——Okay, I’d better purify you first.”

However, in the past three days, Longqi seemed to be quite familiar with this place. He took Xia Yu to find a deserted place and raised his hand to perform a purification spell. Xia Yu was relieved.

"What did you eat to make you so nervous? I don't think you have food poisoning?"

"Don't mention it. This is a bit weird. Do you know the kind of person who can investigate other people's identities and backgrounds?"

Longqi shook his head: "I don't have any connections in this area, but you can ask in the old group."

"Old group?"

"Yeah, we have a game player group, don't you know? Yes, I'm afraid no one will tell you about this, so I'll send it to you."

Xia Yu turned on his phone, and there was indeed such a group - 'Old Toys from Ancient God Games'.

To apply to join, verification is required - please state your name in the game.

Xia Yu filled in the word "traveler" and joined easily.

Doctor: "Hey, there's a newcomer, welcome."

Overlord: "Traveler, you just joined the group. No wonder I haven't seen you speak before."

Xia Yu directly raised his question.

Traveler: "Hello everyone, can anyone help me investigate some background information about the characters?"

Mouse: "Come to me for this kind of thing. It's 500,000 for ordinary people, 1 million for people with special backgrounds, and 2 million if there is a danger. As long as the money is available, I will give you the result within an hour, ensuring complete information."

Xia Yuxin said that I was so full that I spent so much money to investigate. He just felt that there was something fishy and wanted to find out what was going on, but he didn't want to risk his family's fortune.

Traveler: "I have no money."

Mouse: "You're talking nonsense if you don't have money."

After saying that, the avatar darkened.

Gentleman: "What are you looking for?"

Traveler: "Who is the owner of Shenwei Restaurant, and the identity and background of this store."

Gentleman: "Sorry, I haven't heard of it, so I can't help you."

It also darkened as he spoke.

Long Qi said: "You can ask again at night. Not many people are online during the day."

Xia Yu nodded. He looked at the avatars of the people in the group. There were actually a lot of people in the group. There were more than 12 of them, there were more than 30 people, most of whom Xia Yu didn't know. , such as the mouse just now, and the doctor, of course they all know each other. For example, his unlucky roommate Chu Mo is in there, his name is Black Warrior, and the last time he spoke is shown to be more than a month ago.

There are also escorts, of course both of their faces have been dimmed.

In fact, most people's avatars are dark, and I don't know whether they are not online or have been disconnected.

Xia Yu guessed that these should be former players.

"Are these people all former players?"

Longqi: "Yes, the players of this game change very quickly. On average, there will be fewer players every two or three games. I don't know how long this game has been open. There are more than thirty people in and out of this game group. In fact, the real number of players may be higher."

"Are these darkened people all dead?"

"Of course not. Who would play if it's so scary? Some are dead, and some have retired after success. The ratio is about half and half, but some people will quit the game together and die. People who drop out will not leave the group. The group leader is the one named Doctor. I have never met him, but it is said that he should be one of the earliest players. I don’t know why the dead accounts have not been cleared.

Therefore, there are more dead people among strangers in the group, and we usually don’t chat much. However, when you need help, you can ask for help in the group. Of course, it is usually not free. Some require money, and some require favors. Others help. You have to help others if necessary.

But there are no hard and fast rules. "

Xia Yu nodded: "These people who have succeeded and retired must be successful people, right?"

Longqi curled his lips, "Absolutely, but successful people are different from successful people. How long you want to play depends on your thoughts. Some people have to get an orange card before quitting, and some can just draw a good blue card. I quit with satisfaction, and the difference is huge.”

Xia Yu nodded, chatted with Longqi for a few words, and then left. He planned to ask again in the group at night.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I got into the taxi, I received a group text message.

I picked up the phone and saw it was from Bai Ye.

Bai Ye: "I'm sorry for throwing a flying knife at you last time. We're both cleared."

Along with the text message, there was an attached file.

When I opened it, it turned out to be a very detailed profile of the owner of the Shenwei Restaurant.
