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

……

"Old Madam Xue knows all about accounting. It seems she's the one who knows all about Brother Hong's plan. My previous reasoning is almost correct. The people on that ship are partners from the machinery factory in Jincheng or other debtors. The person who installed the explosives on board must be Brother Hong's son, the hip-hop youth!"

"Jiang Qiqi's main quest target should also be this guy. And I have a new hypothesis now. Brother Hong knew that Jiang Qiqi, the accountant's wife, was from Sakurajima because this guy leaked the news. Could it be that in the background setting, the accountant's wife confessed to him at home a week ago, and Brother Hong's son, who also lives in the staff dormitory, heard this, and then this matter reached Brother Hong's ears, and then Brother Hong tried to frame us two?"

"That seems logical, but it's a little too late, isn't it?"

Qin Shang ran towards the staff dormitory, while passing through his guesses and thoughts.

"But when I tricked Mr. Luo into believing some public funds had been misappropriated, and I needed to find the account books, Mr. Luo didn't refute me much, which shows that there are indeed problems with the accounts of Hongguang Machinery Factory."

"Even Teacher Luo knows some of the outlines of this, so of course I think..."

"After all, Mr. Luo's lover is the former accountant of Hongguang Machinery Factory."

As soon as he entered the staff dormitory, Qin Shang felt that the atmosphere had become a little weird.

The surrounding environment had not changed much from the last time he came in, but the air was filled with a strong smell of blood, as if he had entered a slaughterhouse, with a mixture of the smell of blood and the stench of rotting skin and tissues hitting his nose.

"Mad, isn't there a hidden version of this dungeon that has strange elements after nightfall?"

Qin Shang's expression became a little ugly.

No, it's impossible. Based on experience, if the background board of a copy doesn't mention anything supernatural or spiritual, it basically means that it is unlikely that there will be any weird or spiritual elements in this copy. Besides, this is not a "contaminated copy", so where does the weirdness come from?

"That smell..."

Qin Shang was shocked; "Is it a prop...?"

"These smells are most likely caused by props. Perhaps someone's props are controlling the bloody smell of a rotting body. So when the weirdness descended, it also brought the smell into this building."

Thinking of this, Qin Shang subconsciously put on his Taoist robe.

In fact, he had not taken off the red skirt when he was talking to Old Lady Xue just now. Of course, he had long ago figured out how to use the [transfer] of embroidered shoes to circumvent the prop cost of the red skirt, so it didn't matter if he wore women's clothes.

[Void] is currently in its CD period. The purpose of Qin Shang wearing the red skirt is just to rely on the [Night Vision] of this item. Although the [Night Vision] of the red skirt only lasts for five seconds, with the embroidered shoes on his feet, Qin Shang is not worried about the backlash of the cost of the item.

Moreover, after so much time had passed, Qin Shang had gradually accepted the evil taste of some props. After all, he was not so resistant to women's clothing in the dungeon. Don't forget, the last time in [No. 1 Cultivator's Grudge], when the final reversal came, Qin Shang was surprised to find that his identity in the dungeon was actually a girl, and that he was Wu Shiqi's lesbian lover...

The next moment, he took out Demon Slayer and Fallen Cross, his expression became cautious, and he began to walk upstairs.

However, after taking only two steps, Qin Shang heard a scream from the other end.

The voice was unfamiliar. It wasn't Jiang Qiqi, but I couldn't tell if it was Brother Hong's silly son who liked hip-hop.

After all, neither side spoke more than twenty sentences in total during the dungeon, and half of the lines were about that guy making trouble for Yaoyaochek.

But when he heard the scream, Qin Shang's expression froze. He didn't bother to go up the stairs slowly, and immediately ran away.

Wow!

The next moment, he entered the second floor and saw a shocking scene. Jiang Qiqi was standing at the stairs on the second floor with a dull look in her eyes. The first thing that attracted Qin Shang's attention was not his wife, but a corpse hanging at the stairs.

The man was about 1.8 meters tall, with his hair combed into a perfectly upturned crew cut, dyed in all sorts of colors.

Isn’t this Brother Hong’s silly son?

"he died!?"

Qin Shang opened his mouth, his face full of disbelief.

Beside him, Jiang Qiqi's eyes were filled with solemnity;

"I just got here and this guy died. Obviously someone really doesn't want me to complete my main quest..."

"Then what was that scream just now?"

"I do not know either!"

This time, Jiang Qiqi's words were no longer blocked by the damn Shenlu server and turned into a series of beeps...

But Qin Shang immediately showed a look of surprise.

"Is he also an 'Observer' like you?"

Hearing this, Jiang Qiqi nodded slightly;

"should be……"

hiss!

Sure enough, I was right.

So if the hip-hop youth was an "observer", who could have caused him to die in such a miserable way here?

"No wonder. So, he knew your main quest was to kill him the moment he entered the dungeon, so he jumped off the ship and escaped before you could board the exploding ship, right?"

Jiang Qiqi pursed her red lips, her expression somewhat uncertain;

"I'm not sure about his actions. Your reasoning might be correct, but when we entered the dormitory building, this guy passed by and the tone he used when talking to you almost made me think he wasn't the target of my main quest."

"It wasn't until Yin Shisan showed up at the factory to save the situation and heard your conversation with him that I realized this guy might be my target."

"What the hell?"

What do you mean?

What do you mean by almost thinking that the target of the main mission was not him?

Isn't your main mission clearly stated, such as killing the son of the owner of Hongguang Machinery Factory, or naming the person by name?

Seeing Qin Shang's face full of suspicion.

The woman sighed.

"My main quest is to be the first player I meet after boarding the ship."

"You can guess what happened next. I did realize that the Shenlu server wouldn't give me a mission to bully a child. My main quest requires me to kill players who are at least equally powerful as me."

The next moment, Jiang Qiqi's beautiful big eyes blinked;

"As for screening and identifying the identities of the other people on the ship, it wasn't difficult. I'm a Rule Realm player after all, so verifying whether someone I met in a dungeon was a player or an NPC was pretty easy. I asked everyone on the ship, using the abilities of [Hypnosis] and [Bewitching] to make them trust me 100%. Then I asked them if they were Divine Path players, and that was all I needed to do to complete the verification process."

This is a method that sounds very cool, but it feels stupid and clumsy in practice.

Hearing this, Qin Shang pursed his lips and wanted to smile.

However, noticing that the atmosphere was not right, he restrained his expression.

"So you weren't able to identify the person you were looking for on the ship?"

"Well, the identities of those people are very transparent. They are politicians, sheriffs, and spies from the descendants of Sakurajima from the neighboring Jincheng."

Hearing this, Qin Shang said "Oh", no wonder...

But the next moment, he suddenly froze again, staring straight at Jiang Qiqi, with a hint of disbelief in his eyes.

A big question mark emerged in my heart.

Not...what?

"Wait! What did you just say?"

"What do you think the identities of the people on that ship are?"

How could he be a political leader from Jincheng?

Aren’t those people investors or debtors of Hongguang Machinery Factory?

Isn't it that Brother Hong was afraid that his debt problem would explode, so he tried to put the blame on us two and use a knife to kill people, making up such a story that some Jincheng politicians came with the sheriff and the spy chief to identify the descendants of Sakurajima people?

Isn’t this something Brother Hong made up out of thin air?

How could the people on that ship be Jincheng politicians?

"Gulu."

Qin Shang's Adam's apple rolled unconsciously.

"Then he..."

After saying that, he looked up at Brother Hong’s son who was hanged in front of the two of them.

The death was peaceful.

Qin Shang could still tell the difference between the living and the dead...

"Who killed him?!"

"Hen!"

boom--

Qin Shang felt his mind was in a mess for a moment. When he saw Brother Hong's "Python Swallowing Dragon", he had already basically outlined the entire situation in the copy in his mind.

But when Qin Shang heard what Jiang Qiqi said, he had the illusion that he had become a clown after reasoning for a long time.

The key clue about Brother Hong’s son is also broken!

However, if the people on the ship are the political leaders of Jincheng, then you, Jiang Qiqi, you...

"Why aren't you anxious?"

"The main quest given to you by the background board is to get on the ship and kill the first player you meet. Why doesn't it ask you to blow up the ship?"

"Logically speaking, you're from Sakurajima..."

"In the dungeon background, isn't the accountant's wife worried about those people exposing their identities?"

Hearing this, Jiang Qiqi was stunned and looked at Qin Shang with a strange expression.

"Why worry?"

“How many years has it been since the reform and opening up?”

"I'm not a traitor or collaborator. Think about it yourself. The descendants of the Sakurajima people from the monastery have been staying in Jiangcheng since the 50s. After three generations of reproduction and development, they are almost assimilated into the local community."

"Furthermore, from a 21st-century perspective, this instance's background is now..."

"In the 90s, Sakurajima was experiencing the bursting of the bubble economy. Haven't you heard of the disappearance of thirty years?"

"Those people across the sea simply don't have the energy to continue being invaders. Their own social stability is almost overwhelmed. From the birth rate, education, and healthcare, everything over there has entered a period of stagnation."

"Just dealing with internal strife alone would have given their leaders a lot of anxiety, not to mention their continued plotting to seize the territory of our great nation, China."

As soon as these words came out, Qin Shang was speechless and opened his mouth.

I thought to myself, Jiang Qiqi, you must have forgotten something. I have never attended a proper high school.

I'm going to a vocational high school soon. At most, students can learn Chinese, math, and English in a vocational high school. When will they be taught history, politics, and other things?

More of them are inclined towards professional training for employment.

The little girl next door disappeared for thirty years, and I still don’t understand the specific reason why my wife disappeared for a hundred days.

"Then these politicians from Jincheng..."

"They are here to arrest the descendants of the devils, but they won't arrest me because I have a household registration!"

Jiang Qiqi puffed out her chest proudly;

"Have you forgotten? In the dungeon [Monastic Grudge No. 1], on that night in the 70s, all of these Sakurajima people naturally replaced the original inhabitants of the monastery. From the perspective of my status, I am completely impeccable."

"And what does the traitor arrested in the 70s have to do with me? Don't forget that in this copy, I was only in my twenties and was your little wife. If you calculate it yourself, I was born not long ago in the 70s. The spy who was brought in to identify the Sakurajima people was probably arrested even earlier, maybe even as early as the end of the Anti-Japanese War. How could he know me?"

Fuck!

Concern leads to chaos.

I actually forgot about this setting?

Yes, age is also a key issue.

"Then get on board..."
