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

'Urine is the tears of the bladder' is most likely someone that Chen Ge Lao called over from the 'Far Voyage' organization.

But from beginning to end, this woman never had the slightest thought of joining forces with the fox-faced man, because she did not intend to expose it in the open. This intention of not exposing it in the open was not only to other players, she did not want others to find out that she and the Zheng family had a common goal, even including the Zheng family... Similarly, she could not let other people called by the Zheng family know that she was Chen Ge Lao's man.

Especially according to Qin Shang's previous speculation, the people that Chen Ge Lao called in were not there to add icing on the cake, but more likely to provide timely assistance.

What is the icing on the cake?

That is to hang out with these Zheng family members, and finally assist them in obtaining the "Chain of Cause and Effect", perform well in the entire dungeon, and provide great help to a group of players led by the fox-faced man who entered the dungeon through the "official mission" in the process of passing the level.

This is called icing on the cake.

So what is timely assistance?

That is to do it secretly, without letting the Zheng family know that they also sent people to participate in this "contaminated copy".

Then, when the Zheng family members had exhausted all their tricks and finally failed to obtain the "Chain of Cause and Effect" that the Zheng family had been dreaming of, suddenly a new tool came into being and was taken out, and Lord Chen was asked to hand it over to the Zheng family!

This is called giving timely help.

The former would at most make the Zheng family owe a small favor.

The latter, however, could become further topic of conversation regarding the distribution of benefits in the future partnership with the Zheng family.

A man like Chen Ge Lao is so cunning that he would definitely choose the latter if he had any brains.

In other words, his people would not come into contact with the Zheng family before entering this instance...

This is the effect you want.

Otherwise, if even a tiny bit of help was provided by someone from the Zheng family, then in the end, if 'urine is the tears of the bladder' really obtained the 'chain of cause and effect', the contribution and merit of Lord Chen would be greatly weakened, because it would become that Lord Chen took the initiative to send people to rush to provide help to the Zheng family.

Moreover, if Lord Chen knew in advance that the Zheng family had such a backup plan, and that one of the players sent had a prop that could communicate with the outside world in real time, if I were Lord Chen, I would give up such an opportunity to do the Zheng family a favor.

After all, if you don't manage your subordinates well, you might end up making things worse.

What if my people, during the course of the dungeon, cause trouble for those sent by the Zheng family, affecting their ability to obtain the 'Chain of Cause and Effect' or destroying some of the Zheng family's plans?

Then maybe this responsibility will be blamed on myself.

To put it bluntly, the purpose of sending "Urine is the Tear of Bladder" in is to grab the credit and do favors for the Zheng family.

But if the Zheng family has already made all the necessary preparations, then wouldn't it be a waste of time for Lord Chen to send someone in?

If things go wrong, a flood will flush the Dragon King Temple. It will be a thankless task with good intentions leading to bad results!

Moreover, even if the person he sent took the Zheng family's item and entered the dungeon with the Zheng family's off-field assistance, he still had to prepare for the worst. In case he still failed to obtain the "Chain of Cause and Effect", then, since the person with the Zheng family's item was someone he sent, in other words, wouldn't the failure this time be blamed on his own people, and he would be accused of incompetence?

The next moment, Qin Shang looked deeply at the fox-faced man and asked.

"When did you know about this prop?"

"About a week ago... At that time, the person in charge of the Zheng family came to me and said that there might be an important item that could be lent to me for use in this mission. However, before entering this dungeon today, the Zheng family suddenly said that they had a more suitable candidate and had found external aid to help. The item is in the hands of the external aid."

"I also asked about the identity of the foreign aid, but the person in charge of the Zheng family said it had nothing to do with me and told me not to meddle in it and just follow my own plan in the dungeon..."

A week ago?

A week ago, Lord Chen was still alive. If he had known about such a prop, he probably would not have wasted his time and energy and sent his own people to add unnecessary details.

In this case, perhaps there is a so-called foreign aid among the players sent by the Zheng family this time, and this foreign aid has a prop that can communicate with the outside world. Elder Chen a week ago, oh no... I'm afraid that until now, Elder Chen until his death, probably didn't know about this.

When he thought of this, Qin Shang's heart was shrouded in a bit of haze, and he thought to himself;

"We're in some trouble now!"

"There are two more variables in this copy..."

However, 'urine is the teardrop of the bladder' is consistent with my judgment, so it must be someone sent by our partner, Mr. Chen.

It's just because Lord Chen is most likely unaware that the Zheng family has such a prop in their hands, so he sent people over to try to grab the credit and play the trick of borrowing flowers to offer to Buddha.

Of course, Qin Shang would never think that 'Urine is the teardrops of the bladder' was the foreign aid, the foreign aid who held the props that could communicate with the outside world... The reason was simple. She hid her identity and did not drag along with the fox-faced man, and was even excluded in the early stages, probably because as a partner, Chen Ge Lao wanted to send someone to grab the credit.

If that woman gets the 'Chain of Cause and Effect', and if Lord Chen is not dead, in a few days Lord Chen, who has the 'Chain of Cause and Effect' in his hands, will have a lot of say in the conversation with the Zheng family!

This means that in this copy, anyone with the name Chen Ge Lao appears.

Then the people belonging to Lao Deng will definitely not rely on the power of the Zheng family...

To sum up, if Lord Chen wants to send someone, his people will never deal with the Zheng family.

But the foreign aid is different. Don’t forget the key information in the words of the fox-faced man.

The foreign aid had props provided by the Zheng family, so the purpose of this foreign aid was obviously not to give the Zheng family a surprise. When all the other people the Zheng family had found failed, he suddenly jumped out and said, "Hey, I'm from Elder Chen, I got what you want"...

Because of the so-called prop with simultaneous voice function, the foreign aid entered the dungeon at the behest of the Zheng family.

Then there would be no point in hiding your identity to the point where you are rejected by the other people invited by the Zheng family.

If you are excluded by those bad people due to some special circumstances, you can pretend to cooperate with them, because they are all your own people anyway.

The fox-faced man didn’t know the identity of the foreign aid, but the foreign aid definitely knew that the fox-faced man and his group were sent by the Zheng family.

Moreover, even if they pretend to cooperate and form a group, other players cannot tell that the bosses behind them are actually in the same group. If the foreign aid wants to protect himself, there is no need for him to go against the fox-faced man and his gang.

However, in the copy, 'Urine is the teardrop of the bladder' can almost be said to be in the same group with the fox-faced man and his gang. From the very beginning, they had completely torn their faces apart, without even the slightest pretense of cooperation.

To sum up, Qin Shang didn't think that if the fox-faced man hadn't lied to him, there really was such an outsider. This outsider would be 'urine is the teardrop of the bladder'...

And if I were an external aid, even if I didn't help the fox-faced man openly, I would still provide some assistance secretly.

We can't just watch those people die like cannon fodder, can we?

After all, if you encounter some special situations that you cannot solve, or when you need help from others, and you are fighting alone without any help, it is not a bad idea to directly expose yourself as the foreign aid.

It's always a way to get help quickly.

In other words, everyone has the same goal, and the foreign players will not watch the fox-faced man and his men suffer casualties.

They may not provide any value at this stage, but who knows what will happen in the future, so this is very strange...

Apart from the fox-faced man, Qin Shang really didn't find anyone else who was more harsh in opposing him.

"So, can you tell me, now that you have created four shadows, even if you survive to the stage where the main storyline unfolds, but the Divine Road has lifted the [Seal] and the main storyline unfolds, what are you going to do?"

Just then, there was a faint gasp.

The woman on the ground, 'Whoever gives me milk is my mother', suddenly took a deep breath with difficulty, then uttered a word.

"Four! Four in total. Facing four shadows of the same level, if they join forces, even Yin Shisan, who was known as 'I am invincible under order, and I can trade one for one above order', would not be their opponent, right?"

Hearing this, Qin Shang lowered his head to look at the bearded man whose pupils were gradually beginning to dilate.

This stuff is no longer useful.

Apart from being able to murmur some sounds, he could still make some noises.

The world in front of him was probably completely blurred, and every time he opened his mouth, a large amount of blood foam spurted out...

But... you guessed one thing wrong.

I’m afraid it will scare you to death, so I won’t tell you.

After all, those were four Rule Realm shadows, not the Law Realm shadows you imagined...

The next moment, Qin Shang shook the warm and cool jade pendant that he had been holding and playing with in his hand.

"The bad guy's order!"

"This item, which is in the possession of every player in the Bad People's Organization, has a function. Do you remember it?"

As soon as these words came out, the fox-faced man on the ground whimpered twice as a response.

Qin Shang knew that his throat was already full of blood foam.

He glanced at Room 1, where the screams were gradually fading away and the room was becoming quiet.

"The shadow turned from one to four. He used the second skill of the trickster profession, [Fake Death]. Because time does not pass here, Shadow's [Fake Death] turned into [Copy]. This is because there is nothing to record the fact that Shadow died. So at the moment of his suicide, he was in a state of both life and death, a bit like Schrödinger's cat."

"On the other hand, if I can provide evidence to the God's Road server by the time time starts to flow normally, proving that this shadow committed suicide several times, that he has already used up his own [Fake Death], and even used up the second life that fake death brought him, then God's Road will bring down [Divine Punishment]."

"The Bad Man's Order has become the observer of this matter."

"Emm... Do you know the observer effect? ​​It's the wave-particle duality of light, which is probably..."

Qin Shang organized his words and had just said a few words when he suddenly seemed to sense something. He turned his head to look at the fox-faced man, only to see that he had completely stopped breathing.

There was a look of decadence and relief on his face, and his eyes were unfocused.

The pool of blood around him proved that the cause of his death was excessive blood loss.

Seeing this, Qin Shang was stunned, and after thinking about it, he continued to add;

"The observer effect comes from the famous double-slit interference experiment in physics. To put it simply, when there is nothing observing, the light wave passing through the two slits is uncertain whether it is a wave or a particle. It appears randomly in the form of a wave or a particle. However, when light passes through the double-slit plate, if an ultra-high-speed camera is used to capture it, the light will appear in the form of a particle when it hits the opposite panel."

"This is the famous two-way interference experiment, also known as the observer effect. The core idea it conveys is that the form of things depends on the observer..."

After saying that, Qin Shang glanced at the motionless fox-faced man.

I don’t know if it was an illusion, but the last expression on his face gradually changed from relief to liberation, as if the last curiosity in his heart was satisfied.

"I heard that the last thing a person loses after death is hearing. If that's true, I hope you can die with a clear conscience... After all, I've explained all your questions clearly, so you can die with a clear mind."

"But it's not unfair to lose to me."

The next moment, the trace of pity in Qin Shang's eyes disappeared. He turned his head to look in the direction of the five rooms over there, and couldn't help but chuckled.

"Oh! That guy died just in time. If he had died a little later, he would have suffered a little more!"

I don't know when the music on the radio overhead stopped.

Noticing this, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.

Now, it’s time to come out with the results!

In fact, Shadow also knew that he could use the replay of the death of the Bad Man's handwritten order as an observer.

After all, "Shadow" would definitely not cooperate with him for no reason, so naturally he needed a guarantee.

So Qin Shang chose to throw the Bad Man's handwritten order to "Shadow" at the last second before leaving the room.

This is probably equivalent to a situation where a policeman is catching a thief and the two of them accidentally end up stranded on a desert island. In order to save their lives, they need to cooperate temporarily. However, the thief is afraid that the policeman will use him and then kill him, so he asks the policeman to give him the handcuffs in exchange.

but……

The bad guy's letter he threw out was not his!

It was a handwritten note from Master Yin, a bad guy.

Don't forget what Yin Shisan did after he [traded] his life to deliver the strongest blow of his life, [Cudgel]...

At that time, before Yin Shisan died, he gave his own handwritten instructions to Qin Shang.

He also threatened that from now on, you will be the captain of the Chaoyang District's Lawful Realm Team of the Bad People.

In fact, Master Yin, who had already made up his mind to die at that time, planned to let Qin Shang inherit his last wish.

After Master Yin was resurrected, the Bad Man's handwritten letter to Qin Shang was not returned.

So the thing Qin Shang threw to Shadow wasn't his own Bad Man's handwritten order...

"But even though my Bad Guys' Order is not in his hands, it records that he committed suicide [faked his death] and copied three shadows."

"But in this competitive game, there was only one shadow, but after the game ended, four shadows appeared. If the Shenlu server observes this, if I die at the hands of four shadows, it will definitely know that this guy is using a bug. In other words, Shenlu can be sure that the shadow has used the passive skill [Fake Death] more than once..."

"And the moment the game ends, the [Seal] will be lifted, which means I can [Fake Death] once in the dungeon. The purpose of the "Shadow" is to devour me. If he has legal means to kill me, then Shenlu will naturally not care. But four shadows killing me is a bug. First of all, a shadow nests itself and becomes four, which is a violation."

“Shenlu will never watch me being killed by them and then [faking my death] once, and then being targeted by the shadows and dying completely at their hands, and then I will do nothing about it. That means at that time, the “divine punishment” will come…”

If Qin Shang used the rules to play with the rules, taking the priority into consideration... he used the concept of priority in the copy to [bewitch] the long-necked man to behave strangely, like an excellent student who had always cheated in the exams and had never been caught, and was not suspected by the teacher.

Then the shadow is the poor student in the class. Any student who is caught cheating or reveals any clues will be called in for a talk by the head teacher within minutes.
