The weird game of the ancient gods

Five minutes later, in prison.

Xia Yu and Ba Wang stared at each other with big eyes and small eyes, looking at each other speechless.

After a while, Overlord finally couldn't bear it any longer and said, "Damn it, Traveler, how come you were imprisoned too?"

"I should be asking you this, right? Why are you talking and laughing with the police? I saw you were "fighting" with them before."

Overlord chuckled and said proudly. "Hey, I can't tell you this."

Xia Yu was speechless, "Why are you so proud? You are not locked up here like me, and I only have 24 hours to leave. What crime did you commit? I'm afraid you will be locked up until the end of the game."

"I don't have 24 hours left. If you don't believe me, how about we make a bet. I will definitely leave before you. Whoever loses has to do the other a favor. In the game."

Xia Yu shook his head: "No, since you are so confident, why should I bet with you?"

The Overlord was a little disappointed.

"So what is your profession?" Xia Yu asked curiously.

"It's really inconvenient to tell you this. I signed a confidentiality agreement. If I tell you, I'm afraid I won't be able to get out."

Just as he was talking, the prison door suddenly opened, and a policeman raised his finger at Overlord. Overlord smiled, stood up and walked out.

Xia Yu was dumbfounded. Are you going out now?

Seeing the overlord leaving, Xia Yu thought to himself that there must be something sinister here. Is this overlord having any PY deal with your police?

What should I do? The lawyer hasn't come yet. Do we really have to stay in the cell for 24 hours?

It seemed that this was indeed the case. It was evening before I knew it. After eating a simple dinner brought by the police, it was getting dark.

Xia Yu had nothing to do and could only lie on the bed and sleep.

Drowsily, he heard the author's voice again.

"Holy shit, what should I do with this? Why did I write the protagonist into prison?"

A woman's voice sounded, "You wrote it yourself, don't you know?"

"There is no way. Sometimes, the plot is driven by the character's self-logic. What the protagonist wants to do is determined based on his character. Because the protagonist is a very suspicious person, he will definitely do some unexpected actions. , so sometimes I can’t control the development of the plot, and it goes off the rails as I write. Oops, what should I do? I originally wanted to finish the book earlier, but I can’t let him just stay out of it. .

But in this case, I have no idea how to end it.

Yes, if I had known earlier, I shouldn't have added that killer. It would be better to just let the two of them fall in love and then finish the book. "

The woman was a little strange, "Then why did you add that killer?"

"Because it has to be unexpected. If the plot is too straightforward, it will always feel uninteresting.

"So you killed the heroine? This is quite unexpected."

"That one is not the heroine, she is just a tool to promote the plot. The heroine can only be met when the protagonist is tracking down the murderer. Well, that's probably what happened."

Xia Yu was speechless after hearing this. There must be something wrong with this author. Can't he honestly arrange a good ending for himself?

"Let me think about it, damn, I can't think of it at all. Why don't I drink some wine? Every time I drink, inspiration comes..."

Xia Yu suddenly woke up, looked at the ceiling of the prison and thought something was wrong. The author was really careless. He was drinking and typing. God knows what could happen. Something unexpected might happen next. But... All my abilities are gone. If my abilities are still there, I can at least adapt to changing situations.

Damn it, sometimes this power is not very felt, but once it is lost, it feels precious.

At this moment, in the darkness in front of you, a pair of red eyes appeared out of thin air. The owner of those eyes was hidden in the darkness and could not see his appearance clearly. However, there was no doubt that it gave people an extremely... The feeling of evil.

"I hear your voice, I feel your desire, human being, do you have something you desperately want? I can satisfy your wish, whether it is money, power, love, or even powerful power, I I can give it to you, as long as you are willing to make a small deal with me."

Xia Yu felt inexplicably familiar when he heard that voice. Although it was mixed with a magnetic echo, the eloquent tone made him instantly think of a person.

"prodigal son?"

"..." The other party fell silent for a moment.

"Haha, it's really you, why are you here?"

"How did you guess it was mine?" The special effect with echo disappeared, and it was indeed the voice of the prodigal son.

As the prodigal son spoke, his figure gradually emerged from the darkness. It was not the devil's appearance, but his original appearance, except that the clothes on his body changed into a straight suit, and he was holding a briefcase in his hand, but his eyes popped out. The red light revealed something extraordinary.

Xia Yu looked at it strangely, "Wait a minute, with your appearance and your tone, your profession is not that of a devil, right?"

"To be precise, it should be the 'Cursed Item Salesman'. As I said before, I can sense human thoughts. If a person desperately wants something, then I can respond and appear to the other person. By your side, no matter where the other person is.”

“Then you can market your wares?”

"That's right, what do you think? Why don't you buy two pieces and take care of your old friend's business? It's almost midnight and the professional settlement time is coming soon."

The prodigal son said as he opened the box in his hand, which was filled with many strange and eccentric objects. "Have you seen these products? Each of them has magical power and can make you achieve whatever you want, and all of them All are free, and of course, as literally revealed, these items are cursed.

In other words, you still have to pay a price, just not in money. "

As the prodigal son spoke, he showed Xia Yu one by one.

“For example, this ring can make you invisible, but it will gradually allow you to enter the spiritual world and eventually become a ghost.

For example, this magic sword can give you great power, but it will gradually absorb your life and make you age and die.

Another example is this hat, which can give you extraordinary wisdom, but at the cost, you will see more and more terrifying hallucinations, and eventually fall into madness.

There is also this monkey's paw, which can grant you three wishes, but you can't control the way it comes true. I suggest you choose this one. With your wisdom, you should be able to use it safely. "

Xia Yu was really moved when he looked at those things, but after hesitating, he thought of a question. The prodigal son would appear here. Could it be the author's arrangement? Could it be that he drank too much in such a plot? .

Even though I said it was a cursed item, I still bought it, and I wasn’t stupid.

"How about it, are you interested in getting one?"

"You said it was cursed, so why don't I buy some yarn?"

"Hey, you can't say that. Sometimes when people are forced into desperate situations, they have to pay a price. I will only be attracted to those who have strong desires, so don't deny it. You must be in trouble now. .”

"No need, I've been here for eight hours, I can leave in another sixteen hours."

"Okay, it's up to you. If you change your mind, just call me." The prodigal son said, taking out a business card and handing it over. Xia Yu took the business card, with a line of burning text on it [Sephiroth· [Shuugan], Xia Yu felt funny in his heart. This prodigal son is quite good at grooming. Is this a stage name? Why not call me by my real name?

He didn't think much and put it away.

"Tear it off and I will feel it. I think we will meet again soon. I can feel it." As he said this, the prodigal son snapped his fingers and instantly turned into a ball of flame and disappeared.

Xia Yu looked at the position where the prodigal son disappeared with some envy. The profession of devil is really cool.

Beep beep beep, the watch suddenly rang, it was twelve o'clock.

System prompt: The first day is over and career scores are being settled.

[Settlement result: 5 points - not satisfactory.

Career evaluation: As a protagonist, you lack the ability to proactively advance the plot, lack the dramatic control of the plot, and are too cautious in character. As a result, the author is stuck, the plot of the novel cannot progress smoothly, and the story is low in excitement.

Please keep up the good work and do your job well. 】

Xia Yuxin said it was only 5 points? This is too ridiculous. It has not yet passed, and I don’t know what other people’s scores are.

He still had some luck in his mind, maybe others performed worse.

He clicked on his watch, and it showed the ranking. He looked at it and sighed. The first one was Fubuki, with 10 points. He didn't know what kind of job she did to be so good.

The second place is the leader, with 9 points, the third place is the overlord, also with 9 points, the fourth place is the prodigal son, with 8 points, followed by Xuanniao with 7 points, Black Cat with 7 points, Ergouzi with 6 points, and he is at the bottom. One of them, this is too miserable, no, Young Master is also at the bottom, also with five points.

He now regrets choosing the profession of protagonist. He feels that it is so complicated. It seems that he not only has to ensure that he does not die, but also makes the plot exciting. This is a bit difficult. He has obviously been very careful. .

wrong! He suddenly realized that he was the protagonist. No matter whether it was a movie or a novel, there was no protagonist who did not seek death. If he did not seek death, could he still be called the protagonist? How to develop the plot without committing suicide.

I'm just too rational. Why do I think so much? I'll just commit suicide. If you don't want me to promote the plot, then I'll let you know.

A flash of enlightenment flashed in Xia Yu's eyes, he looked at the card in his hand, clasped his hands together, and made a pious expression.

"That so-and-so, in order to avenge you, I will not hesitate to make a deal with the devil. Don't worry, I will definitely find out the truth for you. So-and-so, just wait for my good news."

"A magical being from the unknown world. In the name of my traveler, I summon you and show up, prodigal son!" He suddenly tore open the business card, and it instantly turned into a ball of sparks.

Boom, in a ball of flames, the figure of the prodigal son appeared again.

"Haha, have you finally figured it out? How about it, buddy? Which one do you want?"

The prodigal said, opening the suitcase in his hand.

Xia Yu looked at the things in the same box and laughed ferociously, "All of them!"
