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

At this moment, Jiang Qiqi's eyes were gentle, and scenes of the two of them getting along emerged in her pupils like a movie.

They shopped for groceries and cooked together, walked hand in hand through the streets and alleys together, and even when Qin Shang accompanied Jiang Qiqi to the mall for the first time, the girl saw him walking with a hunched back and angrily yelled at him, "Stop walking with a hunched back, it's so ugly!"

"Perhaps your death from brain cancer will satisfy my purpose and bring this comic to a complete end."

"But at the same time, this is still not the ending I want. More than anyone else in this world, I hope your life will have a happy ending."

Hearing this, Qin Shang's pupils flickered twice, his eyes moved slightly and he pursed his lips subconsciously.

This was true. Even when she was the first eunuch to let the ending of a story go to waste in the real world, when she wanted to finish the comic "Divine Road Game", she didn't kill the protagonist Qin Shang, but Jiang Qiqi...

"Then why, why did you disappear? Why did you leave my life?"

Hearing this, Jiang Qiqi sighed;

"Because at that time, that 'shadow' began to imitate your former self, gathering core authority."

"He wanted to find you. In the fragmented memories he received, he vaguely remembered the obsession of 'licking cockroaches' feet,' but because it was just a 'mimicry,' he only remembered part of it. For example, Qin Shang's countless 'faked death' and long-term replays were actually intended to find Jiang Qiqi. Later, after learning from the Mother Goddess that using the Core Authority could become the Mother Goddess and control supernatural powers such as the Divine Path, Qin Shang decided to gather the Core Authority... As a result, the 'shadow' only received part of the obsession. He only remembered to gather the Core Authority, but completely forgot that the original purpose of 'licking cockroaches' feet was to find his wife, Jiang Qiqi."

"And I, by then, was no longer immortal. This meant that in the real world of the comics, not only would I be unable to protect you, I might even become a burden to you."

Jiang Qiqi mentioned this just now...

Hearing this, an idea suddenly emerged in Qin Shang's mind, and he suddenly began to speculate why Jiang Qiqi was immortal after entering the comic world, and then became an ordinary person again.

If I'm not mistaken, it's probably just as Jiang Qiqi described herself. It's because she once tried to mislead Qin Shang, the man in the comic world who was obsessed with finding his wife, by creating an impossible task for him. That was when she gathered the core authority...

As for the reason.

From the perspective of the comic world, except for the protagonist, all other major characters can actually die.

The heroine is no exception.

The world of comics itself revolves around the protagonist. Jiang Qiqi holds a drawing board and can continue to create comic content and occasionally make a guest appearance as the Mother Goddess in the comics. When she draws herself as the Mother Goddess, her setting itself is very powerful, and Jiang Qiqi at this time is also unique.

If the character of the Mother Goddess wants to appear in the comics, the cartoonist Jiang Qiqi needs to personally add the Mother Goddess's role in the comics before she can appear.

However, starting from the moment Jiang Qiqi drew the scene in the comics where the Mother Goddess dispersed her core authority, from that moment on, the character of the Mother Goddess had no meaning to exist.

As long as the players in other comic worlds can gather the core authority, they can replace the Mother Goddess, which means that the uniqueness of Jiang Qiqi, the comic author, in the comic world has disappeared.

As for whether Jiang Qiqi lives or dies, it may be a big deal in the eyes of the protagonist Qin Shang, but for the world of this comic, the death of a heroine is not a big deal.

This is just like the real world where countless deaths occur every day. How can ordinary people have so much time to pay attention to these deceased people?

Unless among these deceased people are your blood relatives or people related to you by blood, it is like if one day your loved one dies, except for you and some related people who will be sad and painful, everyone else will still live their own lives day after day.

The death of such an individual will not affect most people.

The same rules apply to the comic book world. Jiang Qiqi is just a key character who pushes the protagonist Qin Shang to unfold the story. She is an important unit, but it does not mean that Jiang Qiqi has any special status in the comic book world.

She is not like Qin Shang, who has the so-called protagonist aura in the true sense.

If the protagonist dies, the comic world will probably disappear completely or remain static.

However, the death of an important supporting character will not affect the normal operation of the comic world.

What's more, this comic is now completely separated from the creation of the original artist. And then again, Jiang Qiqi has died before. The character Jiang Qiqi was killed once in the plot she drew herself. After that, she was dragged into the comic world and also experienced death after completing the main storyline.

Her importance to the world view of the comic "God's Path Game" disappeared from the moment she drew the Mother Goddess dispersing her core authority!

"Without the core authority, I couldn't possess the immortality of the comic book protagonists. That's when I realized I truly felt a sense of belonging to the comic book world..."

"I've truly fallen in love with you. That's why I've become a character in a comic book world. I'll get hurt and encounter danger. And if you don't remember me or forget me, I'll truly die as a comic book character."

"Because I appear in this comic because of you. Once you forget me, I will disappear. And it will be a complete disappearance. I will not return to the real world where I live."

“So, I hid in the Divine Road.”

The next moment, Jiang Qiqi sighed with a wry smile;

"I'll guide you into the Divine Path, helping you as a player to avoid the existential risks posed by brain cancer. At the same time, I'll use my abilities to capture that 'shadow' within the Divine Path, trapping it in the timeline from 08 to 17."

"I don't want you to become a powerful Shenlu player, because you will most likely repeat your mistakes. Once I leave your life, or I leave the comic world, you will start looking for me again."

"But on the other hand, if you don't become a player, your fate is doomed to end in death. And you might not realize it yourself, but contracting a terminal illness is actually another form of punishment from the comic world. If you don't become a Divine Path player at that time, perhaps you won't be the protagonist of this comic anymore."

"For this comic story, which has been serialized and extended across so many timelines, from the perspective of readers outside the comics, Qin Shang, whose memories were sealed and who returned to daily life and began to fall in love, is obviously just a few chapters of plot fragments among countless flashbacks."

"If you die, the protagonist's halo might fall to that 'shadow'. If it jumps out of the comic's reality and devours you, it can also evolve into a 'humanoid', possessing all your memories, replacing the 'cockroach feet licking' from 17 years ago. In that case, the plot of the comic will continue to unfold, and your existence will be erased. From another perspective, the protagonist of the comic has returned once again."

"You've only changed from a 'humanoid' to a 'shadow', but you, the part of you that lost your memories and with whom I once knew, loved, and fell in love, have become a transitional character in the comics. But... I have selfish motives. I don't want you to die."

Jiang Qiqi spoke these words calmly, as if she was rehearsing a speech that had been rehearsed thousands of times, as if these words had been suppressed in her heart for far too long.

It seemed that she had made the plan and decision a long time ago to drag Qin Shang out completely one day in the future.

Qin Shang stared at Jiang Qiqi in a daze, listening to her most sincere emotional confession in the calmest words.

"Qin Shang..."

The next moment, Jiang Qiqi pursed her red lips, and a hint of hope appeared in her eyes.

"I've been thinking about one thing for a long time!"

"What would happen if the protagonist of the comic book knew that he was actually a comic book character? According to the setting I gave Qin Shang when I created "Divine Path Game", even if his emotions fluctuate greatly, his heart of Taoism will never be completely broken. Qin Shang is set to be a person with a strong ability to accept."

"So, what's happening here, right now, will never be the end of this story."

Hearing this, Qin Shang's face showed a hint of confusion and his brows furrowed, not knowing what Jiang Qiqi meant by this.

This naturally couldn't be the outcome of the comic "Shenlu Game", but... even the protagonist Qin Shang's brain froze for a moment, as if he had lost his direction and goals in life.

Suddenly, I am not quite sure what the ending of this comic will be from the perspective of the reader or the creator.

Because at this moment, Qin Shang himself was in a very confused state.

Ever since he realized that he was the protagonist of a comic book, Qin Shang's brain has been in a state of continuous confusion.

Then, a flash of excitement flashed across Jiang Qiqi's eyes;

"From the day you developed self-awareness and rebelled against the cartoonist's plan for your ending, you became more than just an ordinary paper figure..."

Hearing this, Qin Shang blurted out subconsciously.

"I'm a self-aware paper man?"

Nima!

Jiang Qiqi almost couldn't hold back from cursing, rolled her eyes, then stared at Qin Shang with burning eyes, speaking seriously word by word.

"No, you're a human!"

"so……"

"I'm thinking……"

"Can I bring you to the real world, the one I live in, called Earth, the real world of China?"
