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

The sudden sound startled Eagle of Justice. He frowned and glanced directly at the speaker. However, Qin Shang didn't care about this nobody. Especially since he was fully armed, wearing a baseball cap and a tight-fitting outfit that looked like a night owl's uniform, if he were wandering around the streets of the countryside at night, people who didn't know him might call the police and say that someone was planning to steal chickens and dogs in the literal sense. He really didn't believe that Eagle of Justice could recognize him at a glance.

Time has passed, and he no longer has any interest in a nobody like the Eagle of Justice, who isn't even a white glove. But that doesn't stop Qin Shang from thinking for a moment about whether to just kill him right here and now.

Hmm! Anyway, the account 'Thunder King' isn't wanted...

However, he ultimately rejected the idea.

After all, killing him directly would be quite troublesome. The equipment that the Eagle of Justice brought with him today is not ordinary. There are several players in the Order Realm behind him, as well as several martial arts class players in the Lawful Realm who clearly exude the aura of great intelligence. If we kill them all, I and Young Master Yin, who are late to the party, will probably be shocked.

He thought for a moment, and based on the calculations from three months ago, he should be on his way with Young Master Yin right now. So, if someone can deal with the Eagle of Justice and his gang, he doesn't need to lift a finger. Anyway, this guy will be imprisoned in the Tribunal afterward. And if he kills him here, wouldn't that be creating a branch of a parallel universe on the spot?

After all, in my memory, the Eagle of Justice didn't die on this day of besieging any martial arts master with a brain...

Thinking of this, Qin Shang suppressed the idea of ​​causing further trouble. Besides, he needed someone to act as a witness and inform Grand Secretary Chen. He knew very well that the Eagle of Justice's framing today was specifically targeting intelligent martial artists, with the aim of obtaining the dungeon attribute items in their possession. As for the person behind it, there was no need to ask; who else could it be but Grand Secretary Chen? Who had such power to release the Eagle of Justice, who should have been detained in the Judgment Court, restoring his freedom? If the Eagle of Justice and his gang had been wiped out here, Grand Secretary Chen, with his tiny brain, might have thought that intelligent martial artists had used dungeon attribute items to achieve a counterattack, and might even continue to target and kill intelligent martial artists!

Thinking of this, Qin Shang turned his gaze to the intelligent martial artist. If this kid kept holding onto the dungeon attribute items, he would probably still have a lot of trouble later. It is said that a common man is innocent, but possessing a treasure is a crime. This item is better left with me.

Ah!

Let's create the impression that a smart martial artist willingly handed over the safe house. This scene was witnessed by the Eagle of Justice. When he went back and reported to Grand Secretary Chen, Grand Secretary Chen understood that the property had completely changed hands and no longer belonged to a smart martial artist.

After that, martial arts masters with brains are likely to be safe.

Thinking of this, Qin Shang raised his eyes and glanced at the man he had saved beside him.

"How did you get here? You're my..."

Qin Shang was shocked, and a look of astonishment appeared on his face under his hat.

I almost choked to death by his blurt-out word 'idol'.

He quickly raised his hand to make a shushing gesture.

"Shh!"

"I should be on my way now. If it's convenient, could I borrow one of my tools?"

At this point, Qin Shang paused again. Using the word "borrow" didn't seem quite accurate, since he would have to go back to 08 and then to 05 to travel through the river of time and see the world of the past. It seemed like he wouldn't have a chance to return it to him.

"Emm... I might not return it, but I can guarantee you won't get into any trouble today, and oh right, I can also guarantee you won't get into any trouble in the future."

Anyway, in the future, there's only one place a smart martial artist can go: the 'Laifu Hotel'. At this stage, the only place willing to take in wanted players and provide shelter for such a group is Lao Qian's Laifu Hotel. Although I don't know what kind of accident the smart martial artist encountered in this timeline, out of consideration for our cooperation in [Changteng Ghost School], I still introduced him to the leader. So, there's no need to worry about where the smart martial artist will end up.

Hmm... and I also know about the future; indeed, no intelligent martial artists in the future have encountered any problems.

"What prop? I got it from [Long Vine Ghost School]..."

"Yes, a safe house!"

Qin Shang chuckled.

In fact, unless a martial artist with a brain falls to the ground in a very disheveled manner while being chased, looking at himself from a dog-like angle, he probably wouldn't be able to recognize Qin Shang. Of course, it would be better if he did recognize him, as it would save a lot of communication costs.

"You're a wanted criminal who came here after receiving a warrant? This place is already under our control. 'Wanted players' won't cause any other negative impact. Go back to what you were doing and don't delay our arrest of criminals..."

Qin Shang raised an eyebrow.

Over there, it was the righteous eagle who spoke, completely unaware of the background of this unexpected troublemaker.

"I get so annoyed every time I hear you talk, even though I haven't seen you in a long time, you idiot."

But I still have an urge to personally kill you. If it weren't for not wanting to affect the course of history, I would really want to kill you directly. Of course, the Eagle of Justice was stunned by his retort, and then a flash of anger rose in his eyes.

This person is trying to kill himself...

Unbeknownst to him, while he was subtly signaling to the players around him to go all out, Qin Shang didn't even glance at him; he was preoccupied with something else entirely.

Speaking of which... if I just take the safe house away from a smart martial artist like this, I'm afraid even a smart martial artist won't be safe, right?

After all, the Eagle of Justice and his gang are watching us closely...

I just took the things and left.

The next dangerous one is the martial artist with a brain, after all, he obviously knows me.

Thinking of this, a thought flashed through Qin Shang's mind.

If I remember correctly, the shrewd martial artist was tricked by the Eagle of Justice into spending a night with an old woman old enough to be his mother. Enraged, he killed the old pervert. Of course, the woman wasn't clean either; she was someone Chen Ge Lao had trained as a front man, but perhaps due to her age, she had lost her allure and was transferred from the front lines to logistics by Chen Boxu. Anyway, it was because of this incident that the shrewd martial artist became a wanted player, right...?

With this thought in mind, a wicked smile flashed in Qin Shang's eyes. "Then I can give you a chance to take revenge. It just so happens that you were able to hold on until the 'me' in this timeline and Young Master Yin arrived."

Thinking of this, Qin Shang snapped his fingers.

[Trade] + [Seal!]

Over there, all the players on the Divine Path who were with the Eagle of Justice heard an electronic notification sound.

Please select the item you consider to be the most valuable in your current inventory and trade it with player 'Thunder King'. Trade time: 5 seconds.

[Transaction Successful: This item has attracted the attention of player 'Thunder King', and you will be able to select one item from his inventory.]

[Transaction failed: The penalty is that your character card will be [sealed] for ten minutes.]

This is a purely shameless deal. After all, whether or not to complete this transaction depends entirely on whether Qin Shang, this 'Thunder King,' believes the item offered by the other party has value. Furthermore, even if the item offered is truly valuable, if Qin Shang refuses to accept it and insists that the other party is trying to fob him off with a pile of dog shit, then there's nothing the other party can do. What's even more shameless is that Qin Shang only gave the other party five seconds...

Whoosh whoosh!

Countdown is over!

Before those people could even react, a message popped up on their attribute panel screen: "Because you refused to trade with player 'Thunder King,' your character card has been sealed. It will be released in ten minutes. During this time, you will lose your 'Divine Path Player' status."

The next moment, everyone present except Qin Shang and the martial artists with brains lost their ability to communicate with the character cards...

They've become no different from ordinary people!

Qin Shang smiled and patted the smart martial artist on the shoulder. Since this guy had recognized him at first glance, there was no need for embarrassment now that he admitted who he was. He simply said calmly, "What are you waiting for? Are you waiting for them to reactivate their character card skills and come after you? You're already wanted anyway, so let's just go all out. Their situation is the same as when we entered [Long Vine Ghost School]; I [sealed] their character cards. Let's do it! Opportunities to beat up 'Order Realm Players' don't come often!"

After all, you'll be working at Lao Qian's Lai Fu Hotel from now on, and you won't have many opportunities to come out in the future. Even if you do come out, you can't bring your character card with you, which means you'll lose the chance to fight against high-level Divine Path players.

The smart martial artist's eyes reddened, followed by a surge of intense elation on his face.

First, he threw a small, completely black figurine into Qin Shang's hand. Then, with a roar, he charged towards the group of Justice Eagles on the other side. He didn't really think about why his idol, whom he had only separated from for a short time, was not much different from him in level. They should all be just players in the Lawful Realm. He believed him when he said he could seal a group of players in the Order Realm.

After all, martial arts masters... those who know, know...

Even if someone has a brain, they don't have much of it. Qin Shang often worries that a martial arts professional player might, in a fit of anger, squeeze their brain like a pimple.

The next moment, Qin Shang gave the intelligent martial artist a friendly smile.

"see you later!"

"Hurry up and take revenge."

"But remember, leave that 'Eagle of Justice' to 'me.' I'm heading to the Sixth Cabinet Election Conference soon, and that bastard will be making his appearance then. I want him dead then!"

Three months after I left, on the timeline from the moment the Bad Commander walked out of the Lotus Platform alone, it seems that Fang Mo was about to begin the trial of Grand Secretary Chen. This was a period and an end. Fang Mo no longer needed to be cautious and worried about the future, or about not seeing his family again. For him, this world was just a thought. The real him probably lived in another world. It seems that the core authority, the 'computer,' should belong to Fang Mo. Originally, it belonged to him in the world he and Qin Yuyan came from.

Only then, under the guidance of the Bad Commander, can the trial of this exposé of Grand Secretary Chen reach its climax. At that time, some people will surely be curious about the words I left behind before I left. The Bad Commander will most likely also, in order to ensure fairness and justice in the confrontation, let Grand Secretary Chen die knowing why, and bring the Eagle of Justice out of the Court of Judgment...

In front of so many professional gamers who are also "teachers," and with so much irrefutable evidence.

If the Eagle of Justice doesn't honestly confess his crimes, he will only suffer an even worse fate.

Confession is lenient, resistance is strict.

Their kinship will likely be exposed to the public soon.

Qin Shang stopped watching the scene unfold.

It's likely to be very bloody and violent. I just feel that there's a high probability that Eagle of Justice will be able to hold out until the other me, the original me from this timeline, and Young Master Yin arrived here. Of course, it doesn't matter if he can't hold out, since I specifically reminded the smart martial artist to leave that bastard Eagle of Justice behind. Although he's a martial artist, he's still a friend I've cleared levels with in strategy-based dungeons. The smart martial artist might not be the smartest person I know, but he's definitely one of the few who listens to advice. So, he probably won't kill Eagle of Justice, which would fit the historical progression. After all, the other me and Young Master Yin will arrive at the scene soon and arrest Eagle of Justice...

After leaving the dense forest, Qin Shang found a place and attempted suicide briefly.

"Let's go back to 08 first. The sudden opening of the second region for public testing is actually quite strange. If it was an experiment, then the first region already had mature experimental results. Why not just open up the professions in the first region to China, Sakurajima, Korea, and other Southeast Asian countries? Why open up a separate second region?"

"Is it because of the inherent cultural differences between Asia and the Americas? In the copy of the Divine Path, we saw other different cultural foundations and accumulations, so were the professions created custom-made? That doesn't seem likely. After all, swordsmen, assassins, and persuaders should be professions that appeared in the history of the second region. On the contrary, healers, priests, con artists, and hypnotists seem to be cultural exports from the first region. If it weren't for the fact that the first region also has professions that conform to Chinese culture, I would have to suspect that the Divine Path was created by the second region, that is, the United States and North America, as a preemptive strategy to carry out invasion, exporting culture while secretly eliminating the high-IQ elites of China..."

Don't be fooled by the fact that most players on the Divine Path have flaws in their personality. These people are indeed talented. Although the Martial Master is stupid and clumsy, who can say that he is not a deadly servant who is easy to control and brave in battle? Take another example. The Conman and Hypnotist professions have some split personalities, but aren't these people who are overly selfish also a kind of high-IQ genius?

Thinking of this, Qin Shang narrowed his eyes;

"Actually, I'm quite curious to see the will of the Divine Path server itself. What exactly is the Divine Path?"

Having been a player for so long, and even now, having played the account "Lick the Cockroach Jade Feet" to the Rule Realm, which is considered the T0 first tier among the players of the Divine Road, Qin Shang still doesn't quite understand the essence of the Divine Road server.

Something that doesn't belong to this world, doesn't belong to this era...

Supernatural power must have some source!

Joker is definitely not the person who created the Divine Path server!

Because Qin Yuyan can only be a Mother Goddess, not the master of the Divine Path server. If it were the latter, Qin Yuyan would have no need to scheme for the core authority she holds. As the master of the server, she would have the right to arbitrarily modify the server's rules. She could simply point at a deer and call a horse a household pot and pan, claiming it as the core authority of the second region. That thing could instantly become the new core authority. This is the authority of the master as the creator of the Divine Path server.

The next timeline target is... 08!

So he walked into a secluded corner where no one paid attention, and Qin Shang silently died in the dense forest. The cooldown time for [Feign Death] had passed, and he could now use [Feign Death] to revert to the previous state. So Qin Shang kicked the bucket.

Death was silent.
