Infinite Weird Game

In Rabbit Town, preparations for August 6th have been completed, and August 7th arrives with the sound of fireworks.

The night sky in the early morning was filled with colorful flames, fireworks bloomed in scattered clusters, dazzling points of light scattered into ribbons, and fell in pieces like meteors.

The body of "Kanna Shichiro" was placed on the vermilion divine chariot. Establishing the connection between the physical body and the Rabbit God by carving runes was only the first step. The remaining rituals would be completed during the fireworks festival.

The priests and the heads of the three families gathered together, and seeing that this time the body did not undergo any changes like in the past, they could hardly hide their joy - the curse that had lasted for a hundred years might really end in this generation.

Amid the ceremonial procession, the flesh-and-blood figure, heavily made up and draped in red and colorful clothes, had its eyes tightly closed, holding a wooden rabbit statue in both hands, looking like a corpse, somewhere between life and death. Even if it could really inherit divine power, it would probably be a ghost, not a human.

But it doesn't matter anymore. Once the wheel of fate starts turning, it cannot stop. Everyone is a condiment in it. Some are crushed to pieces, some are barely alive. In the long time, they are just a speck in the eyes of God.

Zeiss was wearing a red suit and trousers, floating above Rabbit Town in the form of a spirit.

The long-lost soul weightlessness syndrome recurred due to the copy mechanism. After getting rid of the shackles of the physical body, the consciousness became much clearer.

He seemed to have emerged from the bottom of the water, freed himself from chaos and ignorance, and reconnected with emotions and feelings that had been disconnected for a long time.

[Reiko's prayer belt] was still wrapped around his wrist, [the divine chisel] was held in his right hand, and [the rabbit skeleton] was held in his arms, all of which became ethereal along with his spirit body.

He is invisible, untouchable, and unknowable. He is a real wandering ghost, and also a spectator and passerby in the final act.

The night sky stretched for thousands of miles across the Rabbit God Town. Colorful fireworks bloomed on the purple-black background. The grand arson ceremony covered the brilliance of the stars and the moon, and then fell from the sky like petals.

Prayer ribbons fluttered above the streets covered with rope nets, and golden and red silk ribbons fluttered in the wind, creating a bright, magnificent and bizarre scene spread out between heaven and earth.

Until the sound suddenly rang out, breaking through the sky:
"Please ask the Rabbit God——"

A long shout announced the start of the carnival, and a team wearing bright red kimonos and rabbit masks turned the corner.

The loud gongs and drums and the noisy voices merged into the colorful river, and bits of light paper fluttered down.

Children gathered curiously on the street, recording the bright red with their innocent eyes; adults looked towards the depths of the line, with eager greed and desire growing in their eyes.

Even if they knew the secrets of Rabbit God Town, apart from the initial shock and fear, they would not have any more regrets or guilt. Humans have always been keen on gaining something for nothing and harming others for their own benefit. This is instinctive and difficult to repent.

Countless pairs of eyes fell stickily on the vermilion chariot. The intricate carvings dazzled people but made them unable to look away. The dark gold patterns had faded over the years, but they remained fresh as ever under the heavy decoration.

The young man sitting behind the golden tassel had his eyes closed and the blush on his face made him look completely different from a corpse.

His posture is as dignified and solemn as a statue of a god, and the chariot that rises from the ground like a tall building is the shrine for worshiping the god.

"The Rabbit God descends upon the northwest——"

The leading priest sang at the top of his lungs, and the crowds on both sides responded with thunderous cheers.

"Dressed in red and decorated with colorful ribbons, sitting on a high platform, bestowing blessings on generations to come——"

The noise was too loud, and people gradually could not see the young man's face and figure, nor could they see the wooden sign with the words "Kanna Shichiro" written on it next to the shrine.

The bright red hunting robes embroidered with gold became all they cared about, along with the clanging jade and incense sticks.

"Three Family Celebration Fireworks——"

The procession marched to the center of the street, and fireworks bloomed, faded, and fell in the night sky.

The mutation of the Rabbit God never happened, and people began to cheer, cheering for the newborn god, for celebration, for good luck, and for all unrealistic fantasies.

They don't care who God is, it's just a symbol, a reason for carnival; they don't care who dies, it's far less important than their own desires.

They believe in God, love God fervently, and then... put God on the table.

"The carriage passed through Southeast Street——"

A gust of evil wind suddenly blew up, and without any warning, it blew up a piece of red silk that was used for praying for blessings.

The ropes broke, and red silk fell from the sky, mixed with colored paper and flower petals, and scattered over the heads of passers-by, on the divine chariot, and on the ground.

"what happened?"

"Why did the wind suddenly pick up?"

The crowd was in confusion for a moment, and then they heard the leading priest shouting, "The Lord God is happy!"

Akira Kurokawa stood in the crowd, looking around anxiously, but his view was blocked by the adults and he could not see the carriage. A hint of worry flashed across Kanna Rokuro's eyes, but was quickly suppressed.

Akira Kurokawa asked: "After Xiao Qi becomes a god, will he still remember us?"

Kanna Rokuro said, "Yes, Shichiro will fulfill all of our wishes."

The interrupted carnival resumed, and no one noticed that the young man sitting in the shrine opened his eyes, his eyes were bloodshot.

The priest sang: "Send off the Rabbit God——"

The strong wind started to blow again, shaking off all the prayer ribbons. The good wishes were scattered in the mud, connected together and trampled into part of the carnival.

The blood-red fireworks exploded in the air and fell like petals, like rain.

Some people found that what fell on their faces was not paper scraps, but slightly cool liquid.

With happy smiles on their faces, they raised their hands to touch it, and the liquid touched by their fingertips had a faint smell of blood.

Warning emotions such as fear became unusually dull in the carnival atmosphere, until the blessing ribbons on the ground floated up like feathers, entangled them like chains, and turned into sharp blood lines that pierced their bodies, and they screamed belatedly.

Qis triggered the effect of [Soul Contract] in the Mind Palace, and all the residents who had chanted his divine name were dazed for a moment.

The disappearance of half of the believers weakened their faith, and the power to bind the gods was no longer sufficient. The gods trapped in the flesh broke free from their original restraints.

Kanna Shichiro turned his head and showed a pure yet cruel smile. The positions of the sacrificial animals and the diners were reversed, and the god wanted to kill the believers who threatened him.

People realized this, but it was too late.

Dense prayer belts covered every corner of the street, cutting the space into messy pieces like a knife, and splashing pus-filled blood in the air.

The authority of gods that escape the constraints of rules must not be violated, and all creatures in the hunting grounds are lambs to be slaughtered and objects of revenge.

Gentle and harmless is just a label that mortals give to rabbits. We must know that in the natural world, through the process of natural selection, no existing creature is innocent.

"Bamboo cage eyes, bamboo cage eyes, the bird in the cage, when will it be released to fly?"

The sound of a cappella singing floated in the air, and people, with their limbs hung by red silk, formed a circle around the shrine like puppets, singing and dancing.

The short lyrics were quickly sung, the singing stopped, and the heads of the adults behind the shrine fell to the ground, leaving wounds as big as bowls.

Qi Si floated in the air, looking down at the chaos and tragedy below.

After going around in circles, he still chose to complete the deal, that is, to rescue Kanna Shichiro, who inherited the power of the Rabbit God, from the bondage of Rabbit God Town in exchange for the reward within the contract.

On the one hand, this is to avoid variables and add restrictions to the rules and contracts based on the original rituals; on the other hand... it's because it's fun.

Over the past few days, he has thought countless times about the reason why he entered the strange game. It was not for healing, nor for gaining anything real, but just to choose an interesting way to die.

At this moment, the screams under the moonlight, the killings at the festival, revenge, death...all these beautiful images outlined a grand masterpiece of art. After a long time, Qis was excited by the smell of blood again. His eyes narrowed into a long and narrow line, and he was intoxicated as if he was participating in the feast of Dionysus.

On the ground of Rabbit God Town, people were either kneeling on the ground begging, or cursing loudly, or running and shoving each other, or crying and wailing on the spot, but their fate of death had already been determined.

Finally, everyone fell in a pool of blood, marking the end of the killing.

Kanna Shichiro, dressed in a red sacrificial robe, lifted the curtain of the shrine and walked down the wooden carriage slowly, stepping on the pile of corpses.

He stood still on the ground where blood flowed like a river, and looked up at Qis. His eyes were fluctuating, full of doubt and inquiry.

He didn't understand why the young man who seemed to be ready to break the contract not long ago made a completely different decision at the last minute. "Because I am willing to do so." Qi Si received the message from his eyes, smiled brightly, and floated towards the Rabbit God in front of the shrine. "Just now, I suddenly remembered that there seemed to be a plan to cleanse Rabbit God Town in my plan. Our interests are the same, it's a piece of cake, why not do it?"

Kanna Shichiro said, “Thank you.”

"You're welcome. Just remember to fulfill your promise." The ghost in red smiled and suddenly leaned forward. "As a reward for helping you fulfill your wish, I want you to become a part of me. Your divine power belongs to me and I can use it for my own benefit."

Kannashichiro said, “I don’t want to.”

However, it was too late. The golden vines that symbolized the power of rules stretched out around Qis and turned into chains that entangled Kanna Shichiro's body.

The blood on the ground condensed into bright red pages with the huge word "Contract" written on it, and golden clauses fell like tassels.

Kanna Shichiro's eyes were red with anger, and Qi Si's lips were stretched to his ears.

"Have you forgotten? You promised me that after this is done, you would do something for me within your ability..."

In the dark space of consciousness, two figures stood facing each other, one black and one red, one wearing a hunting robe and the other wearing a western suit.

Shenwu Shichiro, who was wearing a black robe with gold embroidery, couldn't help shaking his head: "I don't want to. After I lose my divine power, my soul will be scattered..."

"What's the point if you don't want to?" Qi Si, who was dressed in red, laughed so hard that he fell backwards. "Under the witness of the rules and the terms of the contract, I just need to agree to it! Hahahaha!"

The deception of words had long been buried, and the malicious trap had been laid from the very beginning. The cold system sound became the evidence of this sinister layout:
[The contract is in effect and will be enforced soon]

Kanna Shichiro finally realized the problem and struggled violently, but to no avail.

The golden vines were getting tighter and tighter, and even a slight struggle would exhaust all the strength.

In the upper right corner of the sight, the blood-stained high priest opened his scarlet eyes, a compassionate and playful smile appeared at the corners of his lips.

The shadow of the identity card materialized in the void, and together with Qi Si, he raised his hand to touch the body of Kamu Shichiro in front of him.

The outline of the spirit gradually overlapped with the physical body, slowly and steadily merging with the corpse in the bright red hunting robe, from the head, to the limbs, to the torso.

Qis raised his arms and stretched them freely and slowly, like dancing. The spirit sometimes showed its own appearance and sometimes appeared as the officiant.

He quickly adapted to the existence of his physical body again. He could feel the struggle of another consciousness in his body. He could also vaguely see the golden vines imprisoning that consciousness.

[Scarlet High Priest] The identity card cast a bloody shadow, the ancient altar rose from the ground, the cold tip of the knife pierced the body of the old god, scraped off the flesh, and shed blood as a sacrifice to the new god.

Qis followed the pull from the depths of his soul, allowing his consciousness to slowly wrap, crush, and devour the consciousness belonging to the Rabbit God or Kanna Shichiro.

[Soul Contract Executed]

God will not die, but the highest rules can make God no longer be God.

The final verdict has been made, fresh power surges in the body, vines outline golden runes on the blood-stained clothes, the soul is infinitely elevated and sublimated, and the other end reaches straight into the sky.

I saw a series of illusions flashing before my eyes. On both sides of the long bronze table sat beautiful young men and women. The main seat was vacant, the plates were filled with delicacies, the cups were filled with fine wine. Someone extended his hand, making an invitation.

Qi Si did not feel the ecstasy he had imagined, but rather a sense of indifference as a matter of course, as if a wealthy man who had seen gold nuggets and pearls would not be moved by a penny again.

He seemed to have been instilled with a higher level of cognition and gained experiences and memories that did not belong to him. Now he felt that everything he had gained was natural and insignificant.

The clogs stepped silently on the mud. Qi Si walked under the prayer belts that hung down from the sky without roots or sources, letting the fluttering silk cloths scratch his face.

The rope net above his head and the red silk around him almost entangled him, and the golden-red silk threads like flowing flames gave people the illusion of blood and fire.

He sniffed the bloody smell that enveloped him from every crevice, relaxed and at ease, quietly digesting the new knowledge that emerged in his mind.

The god's memory is complex and unrecognizable, with only one scene appearing before his eyes because it has appeared too many times.

Under the giant golden tree, a young man in black with a blurred face lowered his eyes and listened attentively as the god hidden in the branches and leaves pronounced every word of the decree.

"God does not need to love the world. Under the rules, God and man are just sentient beings. They benefit from each other and there is no responsibility."

"If they love you, you don't have to love them; if they pray, you don't have to respond; if you show them favors occasionally, they will wag their tails like dogs and beg for mercy..."

"Ants' faith is useless. Even if millions of lives in the world die, it is not as important as a rabbit I raise..."

But He didn't believe it at that time, so He came to the human world and was eventually trapped in Rabbit God Town.

The picture stopped abruptly, and the field of vision was filled with messy snow-like blocks of color, and chaotic electronic sounds rang in the ears.

[Error! The player's strength exceeds the scope allowed by the weird game! The cause is being investigated...]

[Insufficient permissions, unable to check! Error! Error...]

In the distant time and space, a god lowered his scarlet eyes, and an invisible force penetrated the gaps in the rules, and the error sounds were smoothed out bit by bit.

Qi Si's confused consciousness suddenly regained clarity, the system interface reloaded, and a line of silver-white text refreshed:
[The main mission "Participate in the Fireworks Festival" has been completed]

Qi Si tilted his head and waited for a long time, but no clearance prompt came.

The wooden carving of the rabbit god in his arms exuded a hint of coolness, and after staring at it for a moment, lines of text appeared.

【Name: Rabbit Statue】

[Type: props (copies cannot be taken out)]

[Effect: The holder can use it to enter the space and time of Rabbit God Town]

[Note: This is a game played by many students of Hope Middle School. The mission goal is to rescue ## (data deleted). Unfortunately, no one has completed it so far.]

——It has become the rabbit god statue that serves as the entrance to the game "Escape from Rabbit God Town".

They look exactly the same, and there is no evidence to prove that the original rabbit statue has been destroyed. So who can prove that it is not the one that has always existed?
Perhaps the rabbit god statue in Lu Ming's hand was carved by Kanna Shichiro of Rabbit God Town and has been passed down to this day.

White mist spread quietly, and the hazy water color filled the entire space, diluting the bright colors.

In the upper left corner of the line of sight, the panel of the game "Escape from Rabbit Town" reappeared, and gold-embroidered words appeared on the red ground and gradually spread to the entire field of vision.

[End of the third week of "Escape from Rabbit God Town"]

【Achieve Ending ③: The Sorrow of Rabbit God Town】

[Reiko died, the children and adults all died, leaving behind the devil-like god Kamu Shichiro wandering in this land littered with corpses.

[The uninhabited land is still alive, and the grass and trees are growing wildly with the nourishment of the flesh and blood of the corpses. The legend of the Rabbit God and the name of Rabbit God Town are buried under the blood.

[When new people come, they will bring new legends and new place names. Everything about Rabbit God Town will truly die, and no one will remember or sing about it...]

The scene was slowly covered with a gray-black filter as dark as the night. Amid the rustling sound of rain and the roaring sound of the tsunami, the devastated Rabbit God Town sank to the bottom of the lake.

After a long time, the light gradually brightened, and the surrounding scene unknowingly turned into the dormitory of Hope Middle School. The air was filled with mist, and it was still night.

The rabbit skeleton and the wooden sculpture of the rabbit god held in his left hand felt cold to the touch, but the blood-red prayer belt on his right wrist was slightly warm, conveying a little warmth in the cold night.

[Name: Lingzi's prayer belt]

[Type: props]

【Effect:? ? ? 】

【Remark:? ? ? 】

Qi Si looked at the two question marks and vaguely remembered that he had one thing left to do. (End of this chapter)
