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

After seeing the faces of the three people clearly, even Zheng Gongwei and the female reporter in the crowd, who said, "Urine is the tears of the bladder," changed their expressions greatly.

"Why are they the players who were eliminated just now? Aren't they dead? How come the NPCs are now certified?"

'Urine is the tears of the bladder,' I exclaimed subconsciously.

Hearing this, Qin Shang was shocked beyond words and looked towards the people over there.

The three men were all familiar faces, they had just changed their clothes into security uniforms suitable for night patrols.

He also had a flashlight in his hand, and was looking towards the monastery hall with a cold expression on his face.

At this moment, three people appeared outside the hall. They were the fox-faced man who died last, 'Tom is Not a Cat' who died in the first round, and the skinny young man who was pinned down and had his neck broken by several other players in Room 3 in the second round.

However, at this moment, these three people were wearing loose cotton clothes, and there was no trace of injury on their bodies...

When Qin Shang saw the faces of the three people clearly, he subconsciously turned his head and glanced at the ground.

At a glance, I was surprised to find that the bodies of the three people were gone.

Including the miserable corpse of 'Tom is not a cat' that was supposed to be in the center of the monastery hall!

He was startled. Could it be that Shenlu resurrected these three guys?

If we do this, won't the number of players in the dungeon exceed the limit again?

"Are these three guys human or ghosts now?"

The next moment, the female reporter opened her mouth.

It was quite strange that the player who had just died suddenly came back to life.

At the same time, all the players present subconsciously held their character cards.

If the players who were eliminated in the "Find Friends" game could transform into this kind of weird NPC, and if they tried to harm the survivors next time, it was hard to say how many people would die if a fight broke out between the two sides.

But the next moment, Qin Shang suppressed the shock that was surging in his heart, narrowed his eyes and carefully observed the conditions of the three people.

Sensing something was amiss, he immediately stepped forward and stood at the front of the group, raising his hand to stop the actions of the other players behind him.

"Wait a moment, don't do anything yet!"

"It seems that they didn't resurrect, but turned into NPCs. Their status is not right. It seems that they have no self-awareness. Or it can be said that they were simply replaced by the NPCs in this copy. Let me test it. Don't get excited..."

After saying that, he calmed himself down.

"Hey! Friends over there, I am 'licking cockroach's feet', are you here to see me?"

"Yes, we are here to take you to your workplace!"

As soon as these words came out, the three people wearing heavy security uniforms nodded immediately.

Take me to work?

Is it the punishment that Shenlu gave me during the search for friends segment, the single-player side quest?

Thinking of this, Qin Shang signaled to the other players behind him to stay calm, and then asked again.

"Then... three brothers, does anyone know how to get to the Xiang'an District Public Security Bureau?"

As soon as these words came out, the three people looked at each other. The fox-faced man standing in the middle, who had changed into a security uniform, frowned and shook his head;

"What is the Xiang'an District Public Security Bureau? We only have the Security Department here."

"Since you are the 'licking cockroach's feet', then you should come with us now. It's almost time to start work. You can't leave the monastery at will. Other believers who are praying can leave. It's already late, and the monastery is no longer open to the public. If you want to come and pray, you can come another day."

Whether it was the fox-faced man or the other two, they all had a businesslike attitude when talking to Qin Shang.

There was no sign that he knew Qin Shang at all. Seeing this scene, all the players on the field understood what was going on.

It seems that the guess of 'licking cockroach's jade feet' was correct. The three NPCs in the copy just borrowed the appearance of the dead and eliminated players in this copy, but their memories have been cleared.

The memories in their minds now probably all come from the security staff they are currently serving in...

Otherwise, how could it be possible that the fox-faced man, who is the director of the Xiang'an District Security Bureau, doesn't even know what the Xiang'an District Security Bureau is?

He himself is the director of the Xiang'an District Public Security Bureau!

"Ok!"

Hearing this, Qin Shang nodded obediently.

At this moment, there are three task boxes in his task panel.

[Main quest: Find out the secret of the monastery in the dungeon]

[Side quest: Find out the cause of Wu Shiqi's death]

[Single-player mission; appear at the monastery before 21:00 to perform night patrol until the mysterious identity of this round of confrontation games is revealed]

If we also take into account the fact that Wu Shiqi, who I guessed at the beginning based on the background board, also has a secret that cannot be told, the reason why she frequently goes to the monastery to pray, this is the main storyline for the players in the monastery camp. Players in Wu Shiqi's camp may be able to complete a hidden task by finding it out.

That means that in this instance, at least there must be five or six instance missions that I know of...

Damn, just the number of tasks alone can give you a sense of the complexity of this dungeon.

Immediately after the gate of the monastery opened, for some reason, the chill that had always hung over everyone's heads seemed to be dispelled by an invisible mysterious force. Now they turned their heads and looked around the surrounding environment, although it was still pitch black all around.

But it doesn't look as weird and eerie as when I first came in.

I don't know if it's psychological or something else...

As for leaving, Qin Shang glanced in the direction of the five rooms.

The bodies in rooms 1 and 3 are still there.

Everyone's neck was stretched out and intertwined like noodles, emitting a strong smell of blood, but the three NPCs who came in seemed to have not seen the room over there.

After he responded to the three of them, he stood at the gate like a stone, his eyes fixed on Qin Shang.

As for the latter, he is still very curious about the movements and whereabouts of the "shadow". Qin Shang always feels uneasy when the shadow doesn't come out to make trouble. Thinking optimistically, it may be because the Shenlu server has discovered that in this confrontational game, a shadow suddenly got stuck and turned into four shadows, so it directly gave him "divine punishment".

But Qin Shang still had to prepare for the worst...

The shadows in this rule realm are quite different from the shadows he had encountered before.

Qin Shang had once seen a shadow of the highest level, which was the "Why is there a duplicate name again" in [Behind the Surveillance], that is, the copied shadow of Zhang Xiaofang, a level 6 martial artist.

But regardless of the shadow's combat capability, at least its IQ is purely instinctive.

But his "shadow" was obviously not one of them. Qin Shang was not sure whether it was because the shadow element was added during the competitive game, and in order to prevent the shadow from being identified by the players due to its low IQ, and then becoming a useless interference information, Shenlu secretly enhanced his intelligence, or whether this shadow in the rule realm itself had an intelligence no less than that of a normal adult...

If it is the former, then it is fine, but if it is the latter... then Qin Shang has to be careful. He has the strength of the Rule Realm and still maintains the IQ of a normal adult. It is definitely not something that can be solved by just using some tricks.

He prayed madly in his heart, hoping that the "shadow" had died in the divine punishment of the Divine Road, even though he had been standing at the door of the room and had not heard any movement of the divine punishment...

"Is it 21:00 outside now?"

The next moment, Qin Shang asked the NPC who looked like a fox-faced man, while secretly communicating with the character card in his hand.

Immediately afterwards, a figure in a red dress twisted under his feet, then disappeared, and reappeared next to the five rooms.

Qin Shang wants to confirm one thing.

Of course, Shen Xiuxiu's movements were very gentle.

In addition, although the gate of the monastery was open, the lights in the entire hall were still dim. No one else noticed this scene. Only Zheng Gongwei, a high-level [Medic] professional player, seemed to have noticed something and subconsciously turned his head to glance over there...

"Yes!"

After the fox-faced man became the NPC of the Night Guard, the personality of the Night Guard NPC in this copy seemed to be rather aloof. He hardly talked any nonsense, and there was basically no change in emotion on his face.

Qin Shang nodded.

Just as they were about to follow him out, a female reporter not far behind them suddenly called out to them.

"and many more!"

"We are friends of 'Licking Cockroach Feet'. It's his first day at work and we all want to accompany him. Isn't your job to patrol and guard at night? Why don't you take us with you..."

Hearing this, Qin Shang sneered in his heart.

It seems that this woman has no ideas or directions for exploration for the time being. Seeing that her solo mission seems to allow her to deal with these NPCs, she wants to follow them to get information.

But upon hearing this, the fox-faced man shook his head seriously.

"no!"

"Why……"

The fox-faced man immediately frowned and glanced coldly at the female reporter.

The NPC guard who looked like Tom is not a cat beside him winked at the female reporter and licked his lips;

"Boss, it's not bad to take these girls with you. Why don't you take the women with you? The men..."

Snapped--

Before he could finish his words, Qin Shang felt a flash before his eyes and heard a crisp sound.

The NPC who looked like "Tom is not a cat" was slapped in the face.

The fox-faced man NPC cursed in a low voice with a cold expression on his face;

"You are a fool who can't walk when you see a woman. Do you think you can touch these women who come to the monastery to pray? Besides, have you forgotten that we have other work to do tonight? Is this something that we can do with a bunch of random people like them?"

Other jobs?

These four words caught the attention of several players on the field.

The female reporter frowned, wondering whether she should secretly follow Qin Shang and the others. However, judging from the tone of the NPC who looked like a fox-faced man, it was not difficult to tell that they really did not welcome other people. If she insisted on following them, she might offend these NPCs and cause a conflict.

Qin Shang's eyes secretly crossed with Shen Xiuxiu in the distance, and then his pupils trembled.

He asked Shen Xiuxiu to search rooms 1 and 3.

As for what he was looking for, it was of course to find Yin Shisan's handwritten order from the bad guys.

He threw this thing to the first shadow when he first left Room 3 as a guarantee of the transaction!

If the "shadow" had really been punished by God without anyone noticing, then this prop must still be in the room.

However, the news from Shen Xiuxiu made Qin Shang's heart sink.

No!

No handwritten orders from the bad guys were found in either room.

In other words, the "shadow" is not dead...

At least no matter whether the other three copies were dead or not, he could be 1% sure that the original No. was definitely not dead.

broken!

Qin Shang's heart suddenly started beating faster.

"'Lick the cockroach's feet'. The dean will see you alone later. Let's go!"

Hearing this, Qin Shang calmed his mind.

He forced himself to calm down and said "Oh", then followed the three security NPCs out of the monastery.

Seeing this scene, the female reporter frowned, then turned to look at the other players;

"Are we going to act together? Or should we separate and act on our own? I won't force you to tell me which side you belong to right now, but I need to be clear about how much information you have..."

Single-player side quests may not necessarily be a good thing, but at least it allows "licking cockroaches' feet" to have a direction to explore after the competitive game is over, rather than being like a headless fly.

The female reporter watched him follow the three NPCs and became anxious. They had to quickly decide on the next direction of exploration.

"I don't know which camp I belong to. My main mission is to find out the cause of Wu Shiqi's death!"

As the female reporter finished her words, the first thing that came out was "Urine is the tears of the bladder."

The girl looked at the female reporter eagerly, her hands crossed, looking pitiful;

"I want to follow you, sister!"

She used the same excuse as when she deceived Zheng Gongwei at the gate of the monastery.

Hearing this, Zheng Gongwei was the second to raise his hand; "What a coincidence, me too."

"I have the same main quest as her, and I also think it might be better if we all stick together to keep each other warm."

A player in the crowd was stunned when he heard this.

"White Swordsman, are you just going to ignore your significant other like this?"

"He's a distinguished professional player who's a fraud. He's already on a solo mission. How can I interfere? If we try to get close to him, we might cause the three NPCs to be disgusted, and the solo mission won't be possible. In the end, everyone will get nothing in return. It's meaningless!"

Zheng Gongwei crossed his arms and groaned unhappily.

Among the other players in the crowd, two of them seemed to know each other in advance. Perhaps they were partners belonging to the same non-governmental organization outside.

When the two men saw this scene and saw that most people seemed to be planning to follow the female reporter, they suddenly proposed to withdraw and refused the idea of ​​joining the group.

Actually, this is normal. After all, it is a confrontational copy. If you stick together for a long time, you may end up being backstabbed by the people around you.

It is better to go with a partner you truly trust.

And among these players who actively enter the dungeon, there must be some other information.

For some people, exploring alone is more advantageous than working in a group, so it is understandable that they do not want to work in a group and be used as a tool by others.

The female reporter nodded slightly, but she did say one more thing;

"Before you leave, I want to say one more thing. Let me clarify your Divine Path professions and give you a chance to think carefully. I am a Priest player in the Order Realm!"

"If you explore the dungeon with me, everyone will have more room for error. After all, I have the skill [Resurrection]."

"As long as you protect me, it's basically equivalent to giving everyone a second life."

As soon as these words came out, the two players who were about to leave paused and suddenly fell into hesitation.

Just as the two were about to speak, footsteps were suddenly heard again outside the monastery hall door.

The female reporter raised her eyebrows and made a pause gesture, and the group of people's eyes were cast towards the gate again.

Another NPC?

Master Zheng also looked outside the door with suspicion.

Could it be that Qin Shang and the others are back again?

As a result, three people who were also wearing guard uniforms walked in.

These were three unfamiliar faces. As soon as they entered the door, they waved the flashlights in their hands.

As soon as the leader showed up, he spoke coldly to everyone.

"Which one of you is 'licking cockroach's feet'? It's already 21:00, time to go to work!"

Wow!

Upon hearing this, Zheng Gongwei was the first to widen his eyes.

What do you mean?

What the hell?

"Didn't 'lick cockroach's feet' just leave with your people?"

The female reporter's face also changed drastically.

Hearing this, the guard in the thick cotton coat shook his head;

"Impossible. Our people are not allowed to patrol the monastery before 21:00. Besides, Licking Cockroach Feet is on his first day at work today and he hasn't met the dean yet. No one has assigned him a patrol area or work clothes. How can we let him start work right away?"

boom--

When this news came out, everyone was so shocked that their heads were buzzing.

Zheng Gongwei's heart sank, and his eyes darkened.

I thought to myself, MMP, it’s broken.

If the three people in front of him were the NPCs who picked up Qin Shang to carry out a single-player side quest, then who were those three guys just now?
