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

……

At the same time, on the other side of Jincheng, in the bright and large office on the top floor of Baifu Group.

Qin Shang, who was wearing a magenta suit, sat face to face with the woman in front of the tea table. Qin Yuyan was not too surprised when she saw Qin Shang appear here, as if she had expected that the young man would come to visit today. She even sent his attendants away in advance. It seemed that there was no one else on the top floor except Qin Yuyan herself, which made Qin Shang's journey to the top floor very smooth.

Qin Shang sat upright next to the tea table, picked up the liquid in the porcelain cup in front of him and put it into his mouth, swallowed it with a gulp, then moistened his throat and opened his hoarse and dry lips to speak.

"So, it's not what Jiang Qiqi described at all. Was it me, or rather, the me in another timeline or another world, who dragged her into the world of the Divine Road? It was she herself who..."

"In her world as the comic book's creator, after her first encounter with Qin Shang in her unfinished 'Divine Road Game' comic book, she began to feel uneasy and wanted to actively explore this world that was originally supposed to exist only in her comic book. So she frequently encountered Qin Shang in her dreams?"

"Yes……"

Qin Yuyan was wearing a snow-white long dress today.

She has a small frame, so it is really the case that clothes make the man. After changing her clothes, Qin Yuyan has a completely different temperament and aura. She is no longer as aggressive as she was the previous times when Qin Shang dealt with her, and she no longer has the temperament of a superior.

"In that world, she was an art student who had studied fine arts since childhood. Later, she was admitted to a prestigious institution like the Central Academy of Fine Arts. Everything went smoothly all the way to graduate school. Logically, she should have had a bright future. However, perhaps because of the long hours of comic creation, or perhaps the pain caused by her original family, she didn't have much attachment to the real world. She had dreamed countless times before, how wonderful it would be if she could travel through time one day..."

"So Jiang Qiqi deceived me in [The God Copycat]? She wasn't dragged into the comic book world by me, she came here on her own initiative?"

"Not so calm!"

Qin Yuyan nodded, with a strange look on her face;

"You can even use..."

"I can't ask for it!"

Hearing this, Qin Shang's mouth twitched, but when he thought about his interactions with Jiang Qiqi in recent years, he felt that it was actually quite consistent with her personality. Just looking at her mental state, he didn't believe that she was not sick in real life.

"Then how did she end up in the world of the manga 'Shinto Game'?"

"In the world she lives in, the Divine Path is probably just a setting in her comic book 'Divine Path Game'!"

In fact, the scene at this moment is quite strange. Qin Shang and Qin Yuyan are facing each other like old friends. The fact that these two people can chat so calmly is actually very strange.

Hearing this, Qin Yuyan seemed to have thought of something that made her feel extremely excited. Her cheeks trembled, but she did not answer Qin Shang immediately. Instead, she grabbed the kettle that was already boiling next to her and poured out the tea leaves she had just brewed. Then she rinsed the tea bowl again and poured another pot of hot tea.

Qin Shang did not urge him. After returning to reality, he had plenty of time to explore these unknown answers.

His eyes began to wander around.

The decoration here is very simple, with light colors as the whole. The simple tables, coffee tables, pendants and decorations are all small gadgets that can be seen everywhere in ordinary people's homes. There are also some smart home appliances in the large flat. Of course, judging from the style, it is probably not a custom-made version, but a popular style that everyone can buy in a specialty store. As for the bright and spacious floor-to-ceiling windows and curtains, they are not as exaggerated as ordinary people imagine that billionaires would be extravagant and even the curtains would be gold-plated. Looking around, the overall decoration style of this space is very light. The most important thing is that there are almost no luxury goods that Qin Shang thought he could not afford with his own financial resources. However, it is worth mentioning that there is a large bed in this large flat that looks like it is not clear whether it is a living area or an office area. This is what confuses Qin Shang.

If I remember correctly, the bosses of top conglomerates like the three tycoons of Jincheng are basically all over 50 years old. It wouldn't be the case that people joke about online, where the company boss has secretaries to do when there's something going on, and secretaries to do when there's nothing going on, right?

Qin Yuyan crossed her hands. The woman wore a jade ring on her ring finger. When she spoke, her thumb would rub the jade ring from time to time.

“She drew a plot like this!”

Hearing this, Qin Shang narrowed his eyes. The Jiang Qiqi that both of them were referring to in their conversation was naturally Qin Shang's missing wife. She was also the one who had always supported Qin Shang and persisted in not giving up after learning about the new side of the world. She was the driving force in the deepest part of his heart that supported him to become a God Road player.

Not long ago, in the copy [God's Imitator], he told him in person that he was actually the protagonist of a comic book, and Jiang Qiqi was the author who drew this comic book.

my wife……

"When you were in the Black Tower, you used the copy to go to that world. She was a student at the Central Academy of Fine Arts in that world. In fact, she did not lie about many things, except for the causal relationship between you two. After she saw Qin Shang from the copy making a wish to me in her first dream, hoping to meet Jiang Qiqi, she came up with an idea to live in this comic world that she drew herself."

"Because here, there is the dream lover she created herself, and the most perfect man in her mind."

Qin Shang narrowed his eyes and exhaled a breath of foul air.

What he just heard from Qin Yuyan was enough to overturn his understanding of the world.

That's what she said!

"There's only one Qin Shang, but there are countless Jiang Qiqi."

"But she probably can't do it, right? Dreams are dreams, reality is reality. In the reality of her world, the Divine Path doesn't exist at all. It only exists in a comic book she drew..."

"In theory, that's true, but, emm, have you ever heard of space interlayers?"

At this moment, Qin Yuyan suddenly looked up, blinked her long eyelashes, and asked.

Qin Shang raised his eyebrows; "Space interlayer theory?"

"Isn't this used to explain the phenomenon of ghost walls?"

Qin Yuyan rolled her eyes, and Qin Shang couldn't help but raised his hand and touched the tip of his nose in disappointment.

She understood Qin Yuyan's eyes...

You're such a fool! You actually use this theory to explain supernatural phenomena. You're worthy of being called one!

However, Qin Yuyan still pursed her red lips silently and said softly;

"It's just like many people who went to a place and felt like it only took a few minutes to get there, but when they went back they found that they couldn't get out of this place no matter what. It is very likely that they encountered a space mezzanine. This place may have become the place where the real world they are in and the real world in another parallel universe intersect for some reason. However, because these two places should have been completely parallel, ordinary people will never have the opportunity to enter from one to the other. But in fact, in the center of the parallel orbits of the two worlds, there is a space mezzanine. It belongs neither to the previous world nor to the latter world. This space mezzanine is stuck in the center of two parallel worlds that will never intersect, but it really exists."

Qin Shang understood immediately;

"In other words, these two worlds may never intersect, but that doesn't mean the people in these two worlds won't intersect. It's like if people from two parallel worlds were lucky enough to fall into that space at the same time, and so on..."

"You mean... Jiang Qiqi's dream and Qin Shang's dungeon? These two... the places where they met weren't actually dreams or dungeons in the true sense. They were just misunderstandings. Just like Qin Shang thought he had entered the dungeon of [The Record of Thieves' Strange Stories] and could enter Jiang Qiqi's dream, and Jiang Qiqi thought she could go to the dungeon of [The Record of Thieves' Strange Stories] by entering her dream, but that's not the case at all."

"They're both wrong. The place where Qin Shang regained consciousness in the "Thieves' Gate Strange Stories" dungeon where the boss came to his senses wasn't actually a dungeon world in the Divine Path. It was a spatial layer within the Divine Path."

Did they just happen to have the ability to enter this space at the same time?

But why is this?

Did they really master it?

Qin Shang frowned, then thought of something crucial, and his eyelids twitched, thinking that there really is no coincidence in the world.

...comic books!

That comic book, the comic book "Divine Road Game" written by Jiang Qiqi herself, after Jiang Qiqi came up with the idea of ​​a bad ending, because the protagonist Qin Shang had strong opinions about the plot, the ending of this comic book was forcibly changed from "The End of This Book" to "To be continued". The subsequent direction and development of the story obviously completely exceeded the original author Jiang Qiqi's original idea, and directly and perfectly reflected the words and deeds of the protagonist Qin Shang in the comic book.

For example, the latter changed his deal with the Mother Goddess. When he first entered the [Origin of the Mother Goddess], he wanted to make a deal with the Mother Goddess to let Jiang Qiqi, the Jiang Qiqi in the comic world, the Jiang Qiqi who came here with him from another real world, make the woman lose her memory and return to the world of 2024 when she first came.

But... Jiang Qiqi in the comic book entered the Divine Road on her own initiative and died in the copy. Of course, this plot may also be the ending that the author Jiang Qiqi herself wanted, because she didn't want to draw it anymore.

But no matter what the reason, the plot of the comics took such a turn, so Qin Shang in the comic book reversed the deal with the Mother Goddess and changed it to a new content, that is, he must see Jiang Qiqi alive or dead. No matter which world Jiang Qiqi's consciousness went to, no matter where my Jiang Qiqi went, he must see Jiang Qiqi.

And so, the comic book that was supposed to have been completed began to be updated, a natural update to a certain extent, and new plots, plots that were not under the author's control, appeared on the digital screen of Jiang Qiqi, the author...

So, as the comic's author, Jiang Qiqi, whose world originally existed without the Divine Road, had many ways to enter the Divine Road. This was especially true because Qin Shang in the comic had made a wish to the Mother Goddess to meet Jiang Qiqi, leading to their meeting in the author Jiang Qiqi's dream...

"Author Jiang Qiqi's dream is a space mezzanine. The final scene of the comic book's protagonist, Qin Shang, who enters the "Thieves' Record," is also a space mezzanine!"

"They haven't mastered the method of truly entering the interstellar space."

"only……"

Qin Shang's Adam's apple rolled unconsciously, and he felt a little numb all over.

"The comic book automatically records their interactions in the interdimensional space, turning them into the plot of a certain chapter. So Jiang Qiqi only needs to draw naturally along the plot after they met in the dream she imagined, creating a character card for herself in the interdimensional space. It's very simple, for example..."

It is naturally impossible to bring the things in the comic plot into reality using a drawing board. In other words, no matter how much my Jiang Qiqi wanted to go to the Divine Road in that world, she could not get anything that really came from the Divine Road, and this was because there was indeed no such supernatural phenomenon as the Divine Road in the real world she lived in.

So even if Jiang Qiqi really got a character card in that world, it would not be like the one in the comics. Anyone who touched the small silver-white card would be automatically brought into the copy and turned into a player. This is exclusive to the comic world. So, as the author, it would be meaningless for Jiang Qiqi to draw a character card for herself in reality from her own perspective in the comics. But it is different in dreams!

Because in her dream, she entered a world in the interlayer of space!

"Yes!"

"She drew a scene later in the story. It was about the scene where the dream that day was temporarily awakened because the student union came to ask for money. She added a close-up shot. In the dream world that the two of them had just been in, a silver-white character card fell to the ground."

Foreshadowing! ?

"After that, as long as I enter the space in the dream, I can pick up the character card..."

Qin Shang was horrified.

Foreshadowing, can it be used like this?
