Idle game leads to another world.

Chapter 3 Strange Religion
Demon King Calendar, the end of March in the year 648.

5:30 pm.

Princess Viola was kneeling and praying with all her knights.

This thing that looked like a church was originally the audience hall in the castle. There was not even an idol for them to worship, but only an empty throne.

Everyone saw the miracle with their own eyes, and the incomparable power did not belong to the mortal world. Viola knew that her prayers had been heard by the Demon King.

In this case, Viola decided to hold on to this life-saving straw, so she came to pray immediately after the battle.

She knelt on the ground, chanting prayers in praise of the Demon King in her heart, and repeated the kneeling movements.

After a kneeling, she saw that the clay slab on the throne dented, and a burst of ecstasy immediately surged in her heart.

"My guards!"

Viola stood up and held up the clay tablet so that everyone could clearly see the clear handprints on it.

"The existence of the Demon King has always been just a legend, but from now on it is no longer a legend. He has responded to us!"

The Knights of the Royal Guards looked up and cried out in surprise when they saw the handprints that were not originally on the clay slab.

"We will use this as our holy emblem to carry out the will of the Demon Lord. We have His protection! We will be invincible!"

"Oooo!!!"

There was a warm cheer in the audience hall, and Viola held up the clay tablet:

"I will serve as the first archbishop and spread His teachings on behalf of the Lord! The forgotten glory of the Demon God will be recast by our hands! The destruction of the despicable invaders is imminent! Cheer!"

A strange religion was born suddenly...

–‐‐——–‐‐——

"Boss, give me a pack of Yuxi."

Li Chengxi, who was behind the cashier counter, casually took a pack of cigarettes from behind and handed it over. He didn't even notice whether the customer scanned the code to pay, his eyes were fixed on the laptop screen.

It's weird, really weird.

Li Chengxi tried to delete the game files last night, but he couldn't find where the game was installed after searching the entire hard drive. It seemed that there was only an icon on the desktop.

Deleting the icon is useless. No matter whether you delete it completely or throw it into the Recycle Bin, it will reappear the next moment.

The email for the test qualification disappeared without a trace. Li Chengxi searched through all his QQ mailboxes but still couldn't find any clues.

He tried to sabotage the laptop, but that also didn't work.

If you throw it into water, there will be no short circuit. If you hit it with a hammer, there will be no damage at all. Even if you throw it in the microwave and spin it around twice, there will be no problem when it comes out.

As the saying goes, make the best of it. Since there was nothing he could do, Li Chengxi decided to continue and see what was going on.

There was an alternation of day and night in the game, but it seemed like there was a time difference of several hours from reality. He watched the two-headed soldiers clean up the corpses outside the city, and also watched the little people on the streets of the city go home one after another. The screen dimmed and it was night.

After that…
After that, he couldn't resist the sleepiness and fell asleep. When he got up in the morning to open the shop, he moved the notebook to the side of the cash register and stared at it.

"Is this Mr. Li Chengxi? OK, here is your express delivery."

The mouse that originally came with the laptop has reached the end of its life, so Li Chengxi specially ordered a new one last night, and quickly took the courier, unpacked it and plugged it in.

Move the mouse and click the map icon below, you can see a large area of ​​black, with only a small circular area in the upper left corner lit up. You can zoom in and out to see more details using the mouse wheel, but you can't see anything in the black area.

After exiting the map, Li Chengxi clicked on the "Palace Area" again.

It was already daybreak in the game, and one could still see a group of two-headed pixelated figures kneeling in a church-like place praying, and their number seemed to be a little larger than yesterday.

After watching for a whole night, Li Chengxi didn't do nothing.

He found that he could switch the screen freely with the mouse, and would be sucked in if he reached out to touch it.

If you are sucked in, the "faith value" on the left side of the screen will be consumed. Originally, there were 500 at the beginning of the game, but now there are only single digits, and it is rising little by little. When the faith value is insufficient, touching the screen with your hand is a simple touch operation and you will not be sucked in.

I haven’t figured out how much faith points will be consumed by doing specific things. Anyway, after a night, it’s less than 10, and I won’t be sucked in if I touch the screen now.

I clicked the red figure who was leading the group with my mouse, and the illustration that popped up this time showed a princess named Viola kneeling down and praying.

And a dialog box popped up, which read 'Master Demon Lord, please guide your believers on the way forward. What should we do now?'

How can I know how to guide?
He opened the map again with the mouse and clicked on the black unopened area on the map. Li Chengxi wanted the little man in the game to explore the dark area, but there was no response.

After closing the map and looking at the dialog box in front of Princess Viola's portrait, Li Chengxi tried to type on the keyboard.

The result still doesn’t work, even the input method doesn’t pop up.

"Maybe... I can use the microphone to talk to the NPC inside?"

The NPCs in the game all express their conversations in text, but Li Chengxi can't type in responses, so maybe audio can do it.

However, Li Chengxi didn't have a microphone at hand. He glanced casually and noticed the small words "MIC" written on the side of the laptop.

Only then did he remember that his ultrabook also had a built-in microphone, but he had never used it.

So he said to the side of the screen:
"Send someone to investigate the surrounding area... Shit! The microphone is blocked!"

The microphone was covered with dust because of its age. Li Chengxi had no choice but to take out his phone and place an order from the online shopping platform again.

–‐‐——–‐‐——

Viola, who had taken off her armor and put on a loose robe-like outfit, was praying in the morning with her knight guards.

Although they were planning to form the Church of the Demon King, they did not have any doctrines at hand. Besides, Viola's current situation was extremely dangerous. Running to a remote territory would only allow her to hide temporarily, not forever.

Viola was a carefree princess, but suddenly her father and brother passed away, and her country and family were destroyed. She was very confused.

So when she prayed, she hoped that the Demon King God could show her a clear path.

As the sun rose higher, Viola stood up and ended her morning prayers.

"Your Highness, did the Demon Lord respond to you?"

As soon as she stood up, the guards immediately surrounded her.

Viola nodded calmly:
"Maybe we are not pious enough. I can't hear the voice of the Demon King clearly. I can only hear part of it."

"What is it?"

With a steady gaze, Viola channeled her energy into her dantian and uttered a word in a deep bass:

"Gan!"

The sound continued to echo in the audience hall, and the knights looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Your Highness, what does this mean?"

"I don't know, but since it comes from the mouth of the Demon Lord, I think it must have a very deep meaning."

When the knights heard this, they all thought it made sense. After all, God’s thoughts were not something that mortals could understand.

"So I suggest that we use 'Gan!' as our prayer."

"Your Highness is right!"

"That's right, we should let more people listen to the holy voice of the Demon King!"

Then the long-lasting cry of "Gan!" rang out in the audience hall, startling the pigeons that had landed on the roof.

Weird religions just got weirder...
