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

At this moment, the beautiful figure in the red dress who stepped out from behind Qin Shang was none other than Shen Xiuxiu...

"Jie Jie Jie..."

A sinister laugh echoed from all directions. Qin Shang and the assassin player, who was clad in silver-white armor, both had a clear feeling that something was lifting them up from beneath their feet.

This is because Qin Shang activated [Night Walk]!

"What the hell are you doing?"

You'll know soon!

As the dark green belt was put on, Qin Shang grinned, revealing a malicious look in his eyes. Of course, hidden beneath his blood-covered face, he couldn't help but sigh helplessly.

To be honest, he wasn't completely without any trump cards, and these trump cards weren't really at the point where he would have to use his core authority.

However, the core authority mentioned here doesn't refer to the almost complete 'computer' in the second major area deep within his character card, but rather...

Loot obtained in the previous "Bloodshed in Suiyang".

The core authority of the First District, once used by Ivanov, the 'Jidao Belt'.

With a jolt from the little ghosts carrying the coffin, the assassin player instinctively distanced himself from Qin Shang. Of course, the space inside the sedan chair was limited; a slight movement would lead to the end, and he could easily crash into a wall. Moreover, the seemingly wooden sedan chair couldn't be easily destroyed with the force of an adult's shoulder bump. The player attempted to use other items to break the deadlock, but Qin Shang didn't give him the chance. Instead, he lightly tapped the player's location with his finger…

"You can stay here!"

Once the [Night Walk] is activated, it will take the people in the bridal sedan chair into the abyss.

Qin Shang didn't know exactly where the abyss was, nor did he care to know. He simply knew that with two people inside the sedan chair, either player could easily leave the moving object, though it would require a bit of force…

In other words, the remaining person had absolutely no hope of escaping the "ghostly coffin" ordeal.

He will go with these little devils to the end of the abyss.

Qin Shang's use of the Ghost Coffin at this moment was certainly not for suicide, so he couldn't possibly leave himself inside the bridal sedan chair, nor could he give the assassin player in front of him a chance to escape. Therefore…

He reached out and touched the miniature "black tower" in his palm.

The last time Qin Shang took control of the sixth floor of the Black Tower, he tried to do the same thing. In this world of training dungeons, Qin Shang can't say that he is the absolute master, but he can have an influence similar to that of the Mother Goddess on the Divine Path server. He can be considered to have the initial ability to influence the plants, fish and birds of this dungeon to a certain extent.

The moment Qin Shang's hand reached into the mini tower, the scene before his eyes changed dramatically, presenting a view of the two inside the bridal sedan chair from an overhead perspective, and it was a wide-angle version. If running a dungeon is like playing a first-person shooter game like CrossFire, then using the Black Tower's permissions to try to change every flower, blade of grass, and tree in the dungeon was like playing League of Legends.

Immediately, Qin Shang reached out and slapped his own reflection in the mini-version of the LoL game screen. However, in that instant, he also activated the [Switch] skill of the Feng Shui Wheel once more. The player he locked onto for the swap was the one visible from the wide-angle view outside the bridal sedan chair…

Mushroom Head is a professional hacker!

A wicked smile appeared on Qin Shang's lips. He looked extremely disheveled, covered in blood, with bloodstains on his lips almost congealed. His crimson suit was ripped to shreds. If it weren't for the swordsman opposite him having some sense of martial ethics, Qin Shang might have ended up wearing open-crotch pants. Despite his current wretched state, he still had a sinister and cold expression, and couldn't help but let a smug look flash across his eyes as he gritted his teeth and said fiercely.

"I said it! Hackers must die!"

The rules of the swordsman class were so complex that they made the player's vision blur.

boom!

The next moment, a loud crash came from the bridal sedan chair. The mushroom-headed man with the missing arm fell onto the sedan chair with a thud. He had probably lost his balance and was completely dumbfounded when he saw the sudden change in the scene before him. Of course, the person who was even more dumbfounded was the swordsman player in front of him.

Because, after saying his last sentence, Qin Shang disappeared, and his teammates took his place.

What is this operation?

【transposition?】

The skill from that four-color spinning wheel?

"What's going on? How did I suddenly..."

Mushroom Head glanced at his watch subconsciously. Of course, his equipment, which looked like a high-level item even if it wasn't an authority, didn't disappoint him. He immediately understood the current situation upon hearing these words.

Upon hearing the wristwatch's response, Mushroom Head frowned, then immediately looked at the professional swordsman player opposite him.

[It's a skill of the core authority; he used a skill of the core authority to pull you into this bridal sedan chair...]

The mushroom-headed man's lips twitched. How come the core authority was as worthless as cabbage on the roadside in this kid's hands? Then, his gaze shifted to his teammate on the other side, the swordsman professional player who had recovered from his bewildered expression, and he asked.

"Can we go out?"

The other person nodded.

"can!"

However, coincidentally... he probably didn't turn off the question-and-answer function of that item when he asked the question, and the item automatically started analyzing for him again, analyzing the feasibility of whether he could get out.

[Item Skill; Night Walk]

[Translation of the dialogue from the scene involving the little devils carrying a coffin is in progress...]

Please wait!

[Content: Initiating a night trek will lead the target into the abyss. The ghostly coffin will continue to move, knocking away all obstacles along the way, and the player will be invincible.]

[The cost: Each use of Night Walk requires a living being on the palanquin to accompany the coffin-bearing ghosts beneath it into the abyss, and the player using this skill cannot manually terminate Night Walk.]

[Item Level: Cannot be detected]

For professional hackers to use skills similar to deduction and analysis, they need to use certain specific tools, such as the Blackberry phone that Fang Mo used before. Generally, these tools are specially customized by professional mechanic players. Yes, most of these types of tools are not produced by the Shenlu server itself.

The concept of the Divine Path, while a supernatural phenomenon that, from a technological perspective, could likely overlook modern technology, seems to be disliked by the will of the Divine Path server, which produces Divine Path props with modern industrial designs. Even the core authority of the second region is nothing more than a bulky computer that even a dog would disdain in reality. To give an inappropriate example, if Qin Shang hadn't lost both his parents and didn't have many relatives visiting in Jizhou, if he had simply left the core authority of the second region at home, relatives' children probably wouldn't have even bothered to look at it during holidays. They might even be wondering why their uncle, who is already quite old and married, has fallen so low that he can only use such an old-fashioned computer.

Let alone playing AAA games, even games like CF and LOL, which don't heavily rely on the graphics card, could probably shorten the lifespan of this bulky CRT computer that takes more than a minute to boot up, and burn out its motherboard.

Based on his many years of experience as a professional hacker, Mushroom Head judges that when a professional hacker activates [Analysis]...

If you encounter a message saying "Unable to spy" for a specific individual or item, it likely means that what you're facing is probably of a higher level than the item you currently have. It's like trying to analyze the skills and descriptions of a Tier 5 item with a Tier 4 item; you'll only see the conclusion that "Unable to spy."

It's like being suppressed by innate bloodline. This is probably the so-called hierarchy among Divine Path items. Qin Shang had encountered something similar before. For example, every time he wanted to put Qi Qi's future prophecy pen in his inventory, the item would always protest with a whimper. This was because the hierarchy told it that it couldn't get along with a core authority that had its own consciousness. Moreover, the core authority might not have as much spiritual energy as him, but erasing his humanoid spiritual energy was easy. However, now there's a problem. Coincidentally, although the Divine Path server doesn't like producing Divine Path items with modern industrial designs, the watch in Mushroom Head's hand is really different...

This divine path artifact is an authority!

A power item from the First Region!

In situations like this, if using the "Analyze" function still results in a "Cannot be viewed" message, then there's a serious problem...

There is only one item that can make authority appear "unseen"!

As the thought slowly progressed to this point, Mushroom Head's breathing instantly became heavy.

"Core authority!"

This is a core authority.

Wow!

The air fell silent for a moment. The assassin player suddenly stopped moving, and the face under the mask must have been burning red.

Mushroom Head gave up on the idea of ​​escaping the space inside the sedan chair-shaped structure by force. It was unrealistic. Within the core authority skills, everything had to follow the rules of the core authority. This was because each core authority represented the highest authority of the Divine Path Server. To counter a core authority skill, one had to unleash another core authority. But this wasn't like cabbage on the street. Becoming an observer and developer only required obtaining the authority. Not everyone was lucky enough to be favored by the Divine Path Server and receive a core authority, and even fewer people had the fortune and destiny to keep the core authority for themselves.

"Did you hear that?"

The next moment, the assassin player's throat moved.

"I heard that, but I want to try..."

Upon hearing this, the mushroom-headed man's eyelids twitched.

"Let me go first, then you can try!"

Upon hearing this, the professional assassin player coughed lightly.

"Actually, I could go out first and try to rescue you from outside!"

The atmosphere between the two became tense again.

No one in this world is an idiot. Now that they know the function of this item and the effect of the skill Qin Shang triggered, and they both heard the requirement that a living being must be on the sedan chair, it means that someone is destined to step into the abyss—it's either you or me…

And if you want to break a rule, you need to use another rule.

The core authority skill is undoubtedly the highest-level rule. Moreover, the item's description specifically mentions that it cannot be interrupted, which means that this is absolutely true. After the [Night Walk] skill is activated, someone will inevitably step into the abyss!

"Gurgle".

The atmosphere between the two suddenly became heavy, or rather, it seemed to begin to become eerie, because both of them knew what was going to happen next.

"You are a swordsman!"

"Once I get out, I might be able to use my hacking skills to help you analyze the bugs in this core authority and find a way to bring you out!"

Mushroom Head was not giving up, and his eyes gradually turned a bit blood red.

He knew that he had always been a thorn in Qin Shang's side. After all, hackers' combat skills were average, but their data analysis ability gave professional hackers enough confidence to deploy their forces when they had teammates around. However, he had not been able to utilize this advantage in this battle against Qin Shang.

This made him feel incredibly frustrated, especially since he had just discovered that the kid was putting on a brave face and was at his last gasp. He was even more eager to show off his skills, ready to get revenge and get back at him, and then...

And that's how it ended, so fresh and beautiful?

He was unwilling to accept that his life would end here. What he found hardest to accept was that the person who might end his life in the end would not be the enemy called "the one who licks cockroach feet," but most likely one of his own.

With multiple thoughts intertwined, his demeanor was shrouded in a sense of loneliness despite his one arm.

The professional assassin player remained silent.

Perhaps, she has already made up her mind.

"If you insist on making me stay here, then I'll kill myself right now."

"The dead do not meet the requirements of the living, so you will not be able to leave this bridal sedan chair either..."

Seeing the assassin player's reaction, the mushroom-headed hacker was not surprised. Assassins are a very calm profession. Unlike martial artists and swordsmen who are brainless, their only fatal weakness is that they are too fragile.

"You're right, but I can deprive you of the ability to commit suicide."

Then, with a flash of sword light, a truly hellish scene unfolded: the one-armed 'Yang Guo' had now lost both arms.

Before the adrenaline could even register, excruciating pain struck.

The professional hacker's eyes bulged as if they were about to pop out, and his facial features became even more ferocious and terrifying.

“Catherine, the Almighty Lord will not protect you…”

"You have done such a wicked thing, you will go to hell!"

The assassin player ignored him and silently turned his head away.

In desperation, Mushroom Head let out a sharp cry.

"You son of a bitch..."

Whoosh!

The assassin player, clad in silver-white armor, vanished, leaving only the hacker behind, unleashing endless curses and roars.

"He speaks Chinese, so this person's ancestors may not have believed in God at all."

"He is not God's most faithful citizen, so the Almighty Lord will forgive me!"

This thought flashed through the mind of the professional assassin player.

After doing something wrong, people always need a reason to make themselves feel less bad, and this sentence is just enough: because you spoke in Chinese, the curse is ineffective, and you can feel at ease.

This is similar to how many people online see others flaunting their wealth and showing off their comfortable lifestyle, and then the bloggers who post videos call on others to join them in engaging in shady activities. In the comments section, there will always be comments like, "I can't make money because I'm too conscientious." This has gradually become a consensus among a group of people: I can't make money because I'm too conscientious.

However, the art style has undergone some new changes in the past two years.

Because in these comment sections, there's another voice saying, "If I abandon my conscience and still don't make money, in the end, I neither make money nor have a conscience, what do I say then..."

Attributing one's inability to make money to being too conscientious, or blaming the insults directed at teammates after betraying them by suggesting that those teammates who speak Chinese are likely Confucianists rather than Catholics, is a form of self-comfort.

But it seems that human nature actually enjoys this kind of self-comfort that has a touch of self-deception!

After all, what's wrong with conscience?
