You turn your body around in nothingness, spread out your tentacles idly, twisting yourself like a rag.

I don’t know if there is something wrong with Starfield’s network. The reading time after this GameOver is extremely long. You are already in a bad mood, and the fact that your consciousness is forced to stay in the imaginary space makes you even more depressed. You want to change your form He made a big fuss to vent his emotions, but worried about Tiamat who was sleeping at the bottom of the imaginary space, so he had no choice but to hypnotize himself as an emotionless sponge, floating up and down on his own.

After a long, long time, you finally received the system notification outside the game reading bar.

"New map loaded"

Um?new map?

You were taken aback, thinking that Wei Ming Yixin is dead, where can the dead go?Heaven?

But Japan in this era has not been included in the business scope of heaven, has it?

Confused, you click on the glowing page in front of you.

The familiar sense of teleportation reappeared, and a strong pulling force sucked you away. When you came back to your senses, you were already at the riverside full of rocks.

You look around and see a huge wooden bridge across the river, under the bridge is the raging red river, and countless mourning and crying people are sinking and floating in the water.

There is a huge dead tree standing beside the Red River. The tree is covered with white clothes. Everything here is dim. Rolling up your sleeves with both hands, looking at you leisurely.

You notice that there are small horns on the forehead of the other party, and the ears are not pointed like human beings, so you ask vigilantly, "Who are you?"

"I am the first assistant officer under Lord Yan Mo, Ghost Lamp." The man said, as if he knew what you were wondering, and added politely: "This is hell."

hell?

You were very surprised, looked down at yourself, and found that you were also dressed in white, and your hands and feet were bloodless. You tried to turn on the panel of the ghost lamp again, but you failed, and the game system did not respond to him.

This shows that the other party is not an npc, and you can't help but become more curious.

"Do you know who I am?" you ask, "I'm dead?"

"Of course I know." Ghost Lantern said respectfully, "You are the old god, the master of the deep sea and the starry sky. You can't die, and you shouldn't go to hell. It was I who led you here on my own initiative."

Oh grass?

You're alert, "Why?"

Although your family is called the "Great Old Ones", the dominance of the old days, the focus of this title is not dominance, but the old days. Changes are the norm in the world. The gods of this order should hate you old school who have been eliminated by the industry. , Meeting for nothing, rape or robbery, you look at the man in front of you vigilantly, wondering if he is going to fuck you.

The ghost lamp turned a blind eye to your hostility and continued: "Master Hastur, time is precious, let me just say it straight, I am meeting you this time because of an extremely evil person who has escaped death for many years."

You were taken aback for a second, then remembered a certain plate of sausage, "...Ghost Dance Tsuji Wu Mi?"

Ghost Lantern nodded: "Yes, it's him."

"What do you mean?" you ask.

"I hope you can kill Wu Mi." Gui Deng pointed out the purpose directly, and he said: "400 years ago, the gods on Gaotianyuan once sent an envoy, giving him strength and gifts to hunt down and kill the ghost king—I miss you You already know who I’m talking about, yes, it’s Ji Guoyuanyi, but he failed. After you died, he never pursued Wu Mi, and finally died when he met his rebellious brother. He didn’t complete his mission. The task caused the world to be in turmoil for another 400 years."

For some reason, you always feel that the tone of Ghost Lantern's words implies some kind of strong condemnation. You don't know if he is blaming you for intruding, and you simply pretend not to hear it.

"There is no time," Gui Deng said. "The patience of the gods has reached its limit, and the world will soon fall into war. Creatures like ghosts cannot be left in lands other than Japan. This is the consensus of Takamahara and Hell."

It turned out to be the case.

You understood the meaning of his words, and couldn't help but put on a smile and said: "Then what does that have to do with me?"

You really hate that coquettish bastard Wu Mi, and you hate him so much that you want him to die immediately, but this is your own hatred, even if you plan to fuck him, you are free to do it however you want, and this little assistant in front of you The officer actually intends to use you to take the opportunity to eradicate business troubles?

What a passover is this!

You looked at the ghost lamp coldly, thinking that you would like to see how this idiot persuades and begs you to agree to this unreasonable request, but you didn't expect that the other party didn't care about your cold face at all, and suddenly changed the subject.

"Lord Hastur, do you know why people with stripes don't live past the age of 25?"

You choked.

"Stripes are the proof of the trade between humans and gods." Ghost Lantern said calmly, "Essentially, it is the same as Kagura Dance. It trades lifespan for strength with gods. Do you know how many people in the ghost killing team in the world now have stripes? They all Not long to live."

Damn, did that stupid skittles really spread the stripes?

You feel a little flustered for no reason, not sure if the people you know have been tricked. Although it's all just a game, you have played with some emotions anyway, not to mention that you really think that thing called stripes is not worth burning your life for. , so you frowned and asked, "What do you want to say?"

"I want to make a deal with you." Ghost Lantern said, "Yes, as you understand, people use their lifespan to trade strength with gods, and I use Wu Mi to trade people's lifespan with you—if you kill Wuyou Miserably, the life debts of all humans who have stripes and are still alive will be written off."

--what?

You almost jumped up, "Is this fucking okay?"

You used to think that the Japanese gods took away so many life spans from human beings at every turn, so it was the norm in the industry to use this thing to do business? !

"This is hell, Lord Hastur." Ghost Lantern said, "Human lifespan is written in the merit book, and it doesn't hurt to add a few strokes. If it is to catch fugitives, then I don't think Lord Yan Mo will care about me. Give some life to the living, anyway, hell’s industry regulations don’t say it’s not allowed.”

you:"……"

You: "You guys are so casual in your work."

"It's just a special case. How about Hasta-sama?"

You were silent for a while, then shook your head in denial.

"My body in the human world is already dead, and I can't do anything if I want to kill Wu Mi."

Even if you find another account now, it’s too late to raise it again. The heyday of human beings is too short, and none of the people who may have stripes in the ghost killing team can wait for your growth for more than ten years. may be established.

There was a look of surprise on Ghost Lantern's dull face.

He looked at you, "You don't seem to know the specific family history of the body you are using now. The Weiming clan that Yixin Yixin belongs to are descendants of dragon descendants. People of this clan can be resurrected twice after death. As long as you want, you can return to the present world now."

……Eh?Huh? !

You were shocked, and finally remembered the list of inherent skills of the character that you saw a long time ago... Grass!You forgot about this setting!

What is that skill called?Does the shadow die twice or does the shadow die again?

"Wait," you suddenly remembered another thing, "where's my body? Didn't I die in Wu Mi's lair? Is my body still there?"

The resurrection of the dead needs a corpse, but ghosts are cannibals!

You look at the ghost lamp in horror, thinking that you are not going to star in The Walking Dead once, are you?

As a result, Ghost Lantern's answer was even worse than you expected.

"Ah, that." He said, "Before I came, I took a look at the clean glass mirror of Yan Luodian. Wu Mi seemed to think that eating you would restore your authority, so I gnashed your teeth and ate your body, nothing at all. left."

you:"……"

What kind of IQ? This is, when Kui Wumi met you, he still pretended to read books, and co-authored, and he believed in what he could eat and make up for.

"So did he regain control of the ghost?" you ask.

"No." Ghost Lantern said, "So he also ate up his own men."

Oh, you smiled gloatingly, and asked again: "Then how do I return to this world? Just resurrect on the spot?"

"I'm afraid it won't work. What's the point of resurrecting after you've already digested it?" Ghost Lamp shook his head, "But does Lord Hastur still remember that part of your body is left somewhere else?"

You froze again.

You quickly recalled it, and then said in shock: "My right hand?!"

Ghost Lamp nodded, "Yes, your right hand can revive your entire body."

"Isn't it?" You said, "Isn't this too ridiculous? It's a dead body."

Although it is not impossible for you to do this kind of thing, does this really break the balance of the game?

"There is nothing to talk about." Ghost Lantern said calmly, "As long as God is willing, anything can happen."

Oh shit, I almost forgot that the guy in front of you is half a GM and has the ability to give you cheating permission.

You pouted, still a little hesitant.

Although the conditions for turning on the ghost lamp are somewhat...well, very tempting, but it is not enough to persuade you to act. You have no deal with the existing gods, no deal with them at all, and you still hate them to expel them. Your past is too shameless to agree to work for them.

Face, or revenge?You are entangled, Ghost Lantern looked at you for a while, thought for a while and said: "If you don't mind, after Wu's tragic death, I will personally invite you to visit hell."

You look puzzled: "What am I going to visit in hell?"

"There is really nothing to visit, as far as you are concerned." Ghost Lantern said, "But hell is a big place, you might meet someone you know here."

"...what do you mean?" you asked.

Ghost Lantern turned sideways politely, motioning for you to look at the Santu River.

You poked your head hesitantly, and saw a familiar tall and straight figure behind countless gorgeous blooming amaryllis flowers on the opposite bank.
