"What do we do next?" Li Zhuang asked, "Uh, I want to ask on behalf of my companions... Is there still hope for us to leave this instance?"

Their current situation was very strange. They were clearly two opposing teams, but they were sitting together on a giant evil octopus, staring at each other.

The most terrifying thing was that the handsome and cold-faced man in the opposing camp was the culprit who had killed the five of them with a water film.

Under great pressure, they believed in the strange evil god, their bodies became deformed, and they probably no longer belong to the human camp.

They just want to leave alive, why is it so difficult?

"Yes." Old K answered patiently, "Faith can be recycled. If you feel uncomfortable, I can absorb the power of faith from you, and then you will return to your original human state."

"Is this true? Are you kidding us?" One player couldn't help but mutter, "Why are we the only ones who changed? The ones in your camp... not even the rats changed color."

"Squeak?" Qu Anran sat on Zhang Chunliang's shoulder, with a look of despair written all over his face - he now deeply regretted his decision to possess the body of a mouse, which made him unable to express all the complaints he had in his heart.

"Ah, actually it is like this." Old K explained in a gentle tone, "Faith requires the mutual recognition of gods and believers. If the believers themselves have strong willpower and do not have a sense of awe and submission to the gods they serve, then they will not change."

Zhang Chunliang rubbed the large tentacle beside him, his heart filled with pity.

The relationship between Zhang Chunliang and Lao K is more like that of blood relatives. In addition, Lao K possesses a part of Shen Xingyi's power, so it is naturally impossible for him to turn Zhang Chunliang into a believer of inferiority.

The fox is a top player, the king of the race in the S-level copy, and is arrogant and unruly by nature. Naturally, he will not rashly believe in a young "evil god".

Qu Anran...his father is a world consciousness. This guy is essentially a child of destiny. Although he always looks out of tune on weekdays, he actually has an extremely strong will and will not easily succumb to other gods and Buddhas.

As for Duoduo... the big golden retriever has a strong and kind personality, and the only person he is loyal to is Zhang Chunliang.

So, although they went through the believers' process, essentially none of them really resonated with Lao K, so there was no change at all.

"I understand." Li Mufeng concluded, "To put it simply - we couldn't defeat Old K, so we were assimilated by it, and you are so powerful that you suppressed its power."

"Squeak." Qu Anran finally found a chance to chime in. Its cry translates to - if you're new, practice more.

Unfortunately, no one still understands.

"Well, where should we go now?" one player couldn't help but ask, "We haven't completed our mission yet. We can't help you with your work and delay our time to clear the dungeon, right?!"

The people around him quickly covered the mouth of this desperate idiot, fearing that these strange and powerful opponents would kill them if they didn't want to.

"Of course not." Zhang Chunliang said with a smile, "In return for helping us complete the mission, we will also help you clear this instance."

Li Zhuang's heavy mood finally relaxed a little.

He understood very well the principle that the winners are kings and the losers are bandits. In the house of games, there are many brutal people with no moral bottom line. If it weren't for Zhang Chunliang and his companions in front of him, Li Zhuang and others would probably be slaughtered on the spot after being used by other players.

Not only did Zhang Chunliang not kill them, he also said he would repay them... For a moment, he was overwhelmed with emotions.

He always felt that this young man seemed more humane than the last time he saw him...

This was not an illusion. Since they met, he discovered that Zhang Chunliang's appearance and personality had not changed much, but the aura around him was softer than in their previous copy, making people want to get closer to him.

Li Zhuang didn't know how to describe this feeling. In the last copy, he occasionally felt that there was a hint of hypocrisy in Zhang Chunliang's friendliness. In many cases, he seemed to deliberately make himself look harmless just to achieve his goals.

But now, Li Zhuang could feel the peace and security he brought to him, just like a lustrous pearl whose hard edges had been smoothed out, making people want to get close to him.

Li Zhuang did not think it was his illusion. On the contrary, his intuition had saved his life in many copies. This might be a sad talent of herbivores to avoid danger and seek shelter.

"Our mission is not so easy to complete... Will you really help us?" The player behind Li Zhuang suddenly showed hope in his eyes and was excited, and hurriedly reported his mission.

"Our main task is to absorb children from outside the village. We need to find 39 children for each person, for a total of . We have already taken in children, but no one has come to Shuangshi Village for a long time."

"The mission to clear the level is to find the secret of the villagers of Shuangshi Village..."

"Squeak..." Qu Anran had the same thought as Zhang Chunliang. How could such a simple mission be assigned to the same instance as them? !

He really wants to fuck up the You family.

"This task isn't difficult." Mad Dog lazily leaned on a thick tentacle, pinching one of his father's hands and playing with it. "Just catch the villagers and kill them until they are willing to tell the truth."

Li Zhuang and others were speechless for a moment, their lips trembled for a long time, and they didn't know what to say.

Mad Dog and Fox are two players in Blasphemy who are recognized for their violent style of clearing levels. Compared to trying hard to solve riddles, the big golden retriever believes that force can suppress everything.

If Mad Dog simply wanted to pass the game, then Fox's violence was more like a deliberate killing. He was strong enough to handle the complex puzzles in the dungeon, but he just didn't want to waste his time on a group of insignificant guys.

"Is it possible that your simple mind can only think of such a stupid and disgusting method?" The fox held his chin with his right hand, looking at the mountain village in the distance, with a sarcastic tone.

Mad Dog didn't want to be humiliated in front of his father. He looked dangerously and showed a little bit of his sharp canine teeth.

"Everyone, don't be like this, we are all good friends, aren't we?" Old K coaxed gently, "I have a better way."

Li Zhuang breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Lao K speak out to stop them.

Listen to what those guys on the other side are saying? Kill the dungeon NPCs and get the answer by interrogating them! If he had that kind of strength, why would he be trapped in this dungeon and be terrorized like a chicken?!

"I can absorb all the villagers in Shuangshi Village. Once all the villagers disappear, the secret will naturally no longer exist." Old K suggested eagerly.

Li Zhuang and his teammates: "..."

"Is it possible?" Zhang Chunliang's eyes lit up. "If your power is a little stronger, maybe you can absorb all the people in this world."

The NPCs in this copy are the obsessive souls created by the evil Buddha. If Lao K can absorb the power of the evil Buddha, then maybe all the NPCs can be recovered. Once the task object no longer exists, the task will naturally be invalidated.

"I can give it a try. It doesn't sound difficult, Liangliang. But I need some time..." The little octopus is now very swollen, and its power is terribly full. Until now, its tentacles are still eating and digesting the fragments of the evil Buddha's real body.

It is only a matter of time before this guy is completely devoured. By that time, it can take over the power of the evil Buddha and control all the NPCs created by it - this will fulfill Liang Liang's wish.

"So cool, Lao K! You are awesome!" Li Mufeng simply worshipped the giant octopus.

"Thank you, Mu Feng, I will try my best." Old K opened his ghostly and cold scarlet eyes again, and thousands of eyes stared at the people on his body.

"I've really...had enough." A player and his companion hugged each other and cried, their inner devastation was beyond words.

Hearing their absurd conversation, he felt like he was on a pirate ship, no, a pirate octopus.

How come they are just like a bunch of mental patients - it's incomprehensible!

But come to think of it, how could a normal person be like them, walking around with a bunch of terrifying tentacles on their heads? !

"What is that?" Old K reminded everyone, "I saw a group of little bugs."

A few people raised their heads and looked along the road ahead, only to see a group of people dressed as villagers standing upright on the road they had to pass, looking at them with smiles on their faces.

"Liang Laosan, Huohai Village..." Li Zhuang carefully identified the identities of those people, and then said confidently, "They are villagers from Shuangshi Village. They are all old guys with relatively high status in the village. I often deal with them."

Because of their old age, these villagers did not build ancestral halls, so they look like normal people.

"What are you doing here! Go back now!" Li Zhuang shouted angrily.

He felt a little nervous. Any normal person would go crazy seeing their weird appearance, but the expressions of these villagers were extremely normal, as if they were just welcoming a few guests from afar.

Each of them was holding a bamboo basket, which was the food basket used by the villagers to carry their meals when they went out to work.

"Are you hungry? Are you hungry?" Old man Huo, who was standing at the front, asked in a hoarse voice.

As soon as he said this, the rest of the people, as if they had received a signal, all raised the baskets in their hands, lifted the white cloth covering them, revealing the food inside.

They brought a lot of food, including braised meat, red eggs, brown rice and a jar of red ginseng wine. The food smelled tempting and was a dazzling red.

Zhang Chunliang was stunned at first, then his face suddenly changed - he felt hungry again.

It was a horrible hunger that made his whole body feel like it was burning.

Although they were very far apart, he could smell the rich aroma of food. For a moment, his brain stopped thinking.

I really want to eat...

Zhang Chunliang's mind was numb and blank, and his stomach began to twitch violently. He couldn't help but walk towards the food. Then he stepped on empty air and fell straight off Old K, about to fall from a height of dozens of meters.

Several tentacles nimbly reached out from his side.

Suddenly, a strong wind blew in the air, followed by the appearance of several huge soft and elastic water balls. The mountain under the feet of the crowd also became soft and fluffy, forming a series of buffering vortices.

Zhang Chunliang's body was picked up in mid-air by Old K. It used its tentacles to place Zhang Chunliang safely in the center of the crowd, and then patted his shoulders comfortingly.

"Dad, what's wrong with you?" Duoduo nervously pulled him to her side, looking at him with lingering fear.

Zhang Chunliang's eyes were empty, with a faint blue light in his pupils.

He ignored the big dog, turned around and continued to walk towards the villagers as if he was being controlled.

Old K was silent for a moment, and the tentacles all over his body began to twist and wriggle. The next second, several villagers holding food were torn into pieces by the black tentacles that suddenly appeared under their feet. The tempting and fragrant food was mixed with dirty, smelly blood and mud and fell all over the ground.

After he could no longer smell the strange aroma of rice, Zhang Chunliang's eyes finally came into focus. He collapsed into the arms of the mad dog, looking at the gray sky in confusion. After a long while, he asked, "...What's wrong with me?"

No one could answer his question. Everyone's eyes were focused on his pupils which suddenly glowed blue. Li Zhuang and others were even more surprised and confused.
