Instance game: I signed a pact with the gods, and the gods accused me of cheating

"If you don't want to say it, forget it..."

Then, Qin Shang waved his hand indifferently;

"Your business, whether you know it or not, is nothing to me."

"I can tell you about it."

Zhang Xiaofang sighed;

"You guessed it right. In the main storyline of the dungeon, the woman Zhang Xiaofen who asked you to explore the truth about death is my sister."

"The NPC you just met who wanted to gamble your life playing the game is my niece."

"The source of pollution was caused by her..."

The source of pollution was caused by your niece?

Qin Shang was stunned;

"That's not right. This copy should have existed for some time."

"It has only recently become a contaminated instance. The source of the contamination should be related to Zhang Xiaofen's unnatural death."

Hearing this, the woman shook her head;

"Yes and no."

"Indeed, this dungeon was created because my niece passed away. The little girl turned into a strange form. She probably had some unfulfilled wishes, so she kept stealing things. In addition, children are very curious, so she would often go out at night to look for other children who had been playing outside and had not returned home in the evening."

“So the story spread throughout the Xingfuli neighborhood.”

"Gradually, it became known that many children said they could always see a ghost in the yard in the afternoon or evening."

Hearing this, Qin Shang pursed his lips and thought of the little girl who had just played rock-paper-scissors with him.

Suddenly, an idea occurred to me: maybe that little girl had no intention of killing the player at all.

Otherwise, after Don Juan lost his life, he could have taken his life directly.

Why should I keep her till the end and wait for myself to turn the tide...

Maybe she was just too lonely staying in the dungeon?

Qin Shang sighed slightly in his heart and his eyes fell on Zhang Xiaofang again.

"and then?"

"Then the ghost of the little girl, because she witnessed the scene of her mother's death, and because she might know the truth, or be related to the truth, she was completely unwilling to leave. After losing control of her emotions, she became a pollution source NPC."

"The main quest of this dungeon has changed from playing games with her to guessing the cause of her mother's death. She is a key NPC in the dungeon and has the ability to influence the dungeon. Maybe this is her way of redressing her mother's grievances?"

"I want other players who enter the dungeon to spread the truth after knowing it, or I hope that other players can investigate the case after returning to reality. Children have limited power and ideas, not to mention that they are a child who has become an element in the dungeon."

In Qin Shang's mind, a post that he saw when he first checked the "Shenlu Player Official Forum" reappeared.

A certain player did something unspeakable to an NPC in the dungeon [Bride], causing the groom to go berserk and forming a new source of pollution.

My cognition has been broadened again...

It seems that there are indeed many factors that can form pollution sources.

It's not just because the changes in reality are projected onto the copy, the NPC is also a factor.

It is possible that certain situations involving characters related to the NPC in real life may also cause the NPC to go berserk.

This in turn affects the copy.

"But this is actually a kind of reality projection copy."

"In other words, things in reality still affect the situation in the dungeon."

Qin Shang clicked his tongue, then looked at Zhang Xiaofang;

"Do you know how your sister died?"

"I don't know, but it must be the trick of the "God Road" players."

"My niece passed away last year, and this copy was first completed last year..."

After saying this, Zhang Xiaofang's eyes suddenly turned red again;

"The child died in a car accident, but he was unwilling to leave."

"There must be something fishy going on here."

Something fishy?

Qin Shang raised his eyebrows.

This...are you overthinking it?

Hundreds of thousands of people die in traffic accidents in China every year. The girl’s death might really be just an accident.

However, Qin Shang thought about it and decided not to pour cold water on her for the time being. He waited obediently for the woman to finish speaking.

"Xiao Gui was born in 2017. Many things were hidden that year, but as a high-level player, I know some of the truth."

"At that time, a beta tester player in the Rule Realm went crazy, causing his reputation to be reset to zero. In the end, he was wanted by the entire Divine Road, and even attracted players from other regions to help him."

“So a large number of “God Road” players died in that battle.”

???

This sounds a bit familiar...

Qin Shang was stunned at first, then his face changed drastically.

Wasn't he talking about the big incident caused by the internal test fraudster 'licking cockroach's jade feet' and the internal test hypnotist 'kind mother guarding the center line'?

What the hell?

How the hell do you know about this?

Hearing the woman mention this, Qin Shang reflexively distanced himself from her, looking at 'harmless' with vigilance.

Fuck!

Why does it feel like the whole universe knows about this major event that has shocked the Chinese "Shenlu" player community?

Should I change my name?

The woman raised her head and glanced at him suspiciously;

"What's the matter with you?"

"It's okay, my feet are a little cold. It seems like there's an air vent over here, and the wind is blowing all the time, making my feet a little uncomfortable."

Qin Shang spoke nonsense without changing his expression, and glanced at "Harmless to Humans and Animals" again.

"Ahem, keep talking. You don't mean to say... um."

He didn't mean to say that Zhang Xiaofen's child was the child of the internal test fraudster...

Oh, this story is quite interesting.

But speaking of which, if the player who once 'licked the cockroach's jade feet' was the child's father.

Then I inherited his character card, so does that mean Zhang Xiaogui is also half my daughter?

The next moment, Qin Shang shook his head and threw away this outrageous idea.

What the hell, I've seen anyone inherit an estate. Who would be a good person and inherit someone else's widow or daughter?

Then, Zhang Xiaofang said with a serious expression;

"Yes, that's right. Xiaogui's father is most likely the "Shenlu" player who participated in the encirclement and suppression at that time."

"Um!?"

Qin Shang was stunned when these words came out.

Oh, that's it!

For some reason, Qin Shang felt inexplicably relieved at this moment.

When that woman just opened her mouth and talked about the big event in 17, Qin Shang thought it could be related to him as well.

Fortunately, senior, you didn’t commit any bad karma.

Otherwise, what should I do if someone asks me to take responsibility?

He was really afraid that Zhang Xiaofang would say that Zhang Xiaogui's father was the fraudster player who was surrounded and suppressed...

If this were true, Qin Shang really didn't know how to respond.

"But how did you connect the little girl's father with the group of "God Road" players?"

"There were many major events in China in 2017. It's impossible that every one of them was related to Zhang Xiaogui's father, right?"

"And how do you know that Zhang Xiaogui's father is a "Shenlu" player?"

Hearing this, Zhang Xiaofang said seriously;

"Because my sister doesn't have a boyfriend and has never had one."

As soon as these words came out, Qin Shang was stunned.

Without a boyfriend, how did the child come about?

One night stand! ?

Wouldn’t a normal person choose to abort a child conceived through a one-night stand?

Why did Zhang Xiaofen give birth to the child?

"When she got pregnant, she was also surprised. My sister has a decent style and good conduct. She has never stayed out overnight, let alone one-night stands."

As if she saw what Qin Shang was thinking, the woman immediately shouted:

"When she got pregnant, our family was devastated. My parents kept asking my sister who the child belonged to."

"But my sister couldn't explain it herself. She kept hesitating and my parents were furious. They thought my sister had done something shady."

"But after carefully checking her spending records, there is no particularly large amount of income or expenditure."

"During that time, my sister still went to work and left work on time, and had no contact with the opposite sex at all."

"At the time, we didn't know what was going on with this child, but after I became a player of "God Road", I finally figured it out. My sister gave me the feeling that her memory had been deleted, but it wasn't actually the case..."

Wow!

After hearing Zhang Xiaofang's long string of words, an idea flashed through Qin Shang's mind like an electric shock.

He was not stupid, so he naturally understood what Zhang Xiaofang meant.

"What you want to say is that your sister was hypnotized. Perhaps, when she was doing that, someone used the "dream entry" technique..."

When hearing these words, Qin Shang had a sense of déjà vu.

The Red-robed Leader once analyzed that Jiang Qiqi must be a player at the Rule Realm.

Otherwise, there would be no situation where no copy was downloaded for two years.

So how did she avoid the suspicion of Qin Shang, who was so sharp-minded?

There is only one possibility, the hypnotist's exclusive skills [Hypnosis] + [Dream Entering] are used together...

An ability unique to the Hypnotist.

Zhang Xiaofen's situation was very much like being forcibly molested by a hypnotist...

Hearing this, 'Human and Animal Harmless' nodded, and his eyes instantly turned red;

"Yes, this is the only way to explain why my sister, who doesn't even have a boyfriend and whose private life is very disciplined..."

"To think that I would suddenly get pregnant."

"Until last year, my 'brother-in-law' suddenly contacted my sister."

"I was out of town at the time, and my sister didn't inform me when she went to see him. It was a long time later that she told me this month."

"She said that my brother-in-law wanted to give her 10 million yuan as a hush money, hoping that my sister could raise her daughter on her own but not look for any trace of them anymore. That's when I found out that my sister was also curious about this daughter who was born out of nowhere after getting pregnant."

"Nonsense, as the person involved, she is naturally the one who wants to know what happened the most and why she got pregnant..."
