It's not too much to say that a beauty is a little bit stronger

Zhao Yihe looked at Xiao Huai's gradually receding back, feeling a little complicated.

His peripheral vision fell on the dining table covered with maggots, and he once again pondered the main task issued by the system.

Everyone must go to church and confess every day.

This quest has a huge bug.

It doesn't really have a way to beat the game.

It is just a notice to inform everyone to repent.

But to what extent do they have to repent in order to be considered the winner?

How far should we go?

What mistakes did they make?

Everyone has an identity, and the key is to investigate what mistakes that identity has made.

The thirteenth-level dungeon is not so easy to clear, especially since the planner of this game is the legendary God of Mischief.

Everyone entered this game with a purpose, and Zhao Yihe was no exception. He was very curious about Loki and the entire JOKER organization.

Will this group of bugs in the game get together and do something shameful?

However, among this group of people, there happened to be a priest.

Perhaps, the key to clearing the game will be related to that priest.

Xiao Huai pushed open the door of the church, and the surroundings seemed to receive a response. A row of candles slowly lit up on the dark green walls, and the candlelight flickered faintly, gradually dispelling the darkness in the church.

He looked around; the church was empty and dead silent.

He randomly chose a seat and sat down, muttering to himself, "I came here to confess."

As soon as he finished speaking, a cool breeze blew past quietly.

When Xiao Huai blinked again, Lu Yuanshi was already sitting quietly beside him.

His facial features appeared cold and perfect under the light, his indifferent and cold eyebrows and eyes made him look like an exquisitely carved statue, exuding an unattainable sense of alienation.

But rather than being a priest, he is more like the incarnation of death.

Because he did not hold the Bible, nor did he have any compassion in his eyes for the believers. Instead, he held a sharp sickle, with cold light flashing at his fingertips, as if he would not hesitate to end the life of the person who was confessing if he did anything wrong.

The two looked at each other for a moment, and fire danced in Xiao Huai's red eyes.

After a moment, Lu Yuanshi finally spoke, his voice low and cold: "Your confession can begin now."

As soon as Lu Yuanshi finished speaking, a low roar was heard throughout the church, as if a huge lock was tightened, and the surroundings seemed to be sealed off.

In the darkness, patterns of single eyes began to appear on the walls and ceiling. Each eye flashed with a cold golden light, staring at Xiao Huai quietly, like a pair of scrutinizing gazes that could not be escaped.

Xiao Huai looked around and felt that those golden eyes were becoming more and more numerous and closer, almost everywhere.

As soon as he turned his gaze, a system window popped up, with red warning text flashing:

[System prompt: Novelist is confessing]

The cold light of the golden eyes fell on Xiao Huai, and he met Lu Yuan's gaze.

The look in Lu Yuanshi's eyes when he looked at Xiao Huai was a little less indifferent than before, but only a little.

That look was like a layer of ice, with a corner of the surface slightly melted, but still hard.

Then, Xiao Huai began his atonement, and his first words were like a heavy stone thrown into the water, causing huge ripples.

"I've killed people."

As soon as these words fell, the golden eyes around suddenly turned red in an instant, as if they were ignited with anger, filled with irrepressible rage and scrutiny.

Xiao Huai did not flinch, "But I don't think I'm wrong."

His voice was calm, with a hint of fearlessness.

The moment these words came out, Lu Yuanshi's eyebrows raised slightly, as if he was measuring the weight of these words.

The red light around them gradually softened, as if the anger had subsided a little after hearing his supplement and began to re-evaluate his sincerity.

After a long while, Lu Yuanshi spoke: "You are confessing, why don't you feel that you are wrong?"

Xiao Huai chuckled, and that smile showed that he was fully aware of everything around him, yet he was also dismissive.

His gaze moved back and forth between those cold eyes, hiding a kind of casual indifference, as if he was playing a meaningless game with them.

After a moment, his gaze finally returned to Lu Yuanshi's face. His eyes were like a breeze blowing across the lake, without a trace of ripples, so calm that one could hardly feel his inner emotions.

"Who says repentance means admitting one's mistakes?"

He said calmly, smiling faintly.

Who says repentance means admitting mistakes?

No need to excuse, no need to regret.

If it's done, it's done. So what if it's wrong? Are repentance and admitting mistakes the same thing?

Lu Yuanshi was stunned for a moment at that moment. He looked at Xiao Huai and found that he seemed unable to classify him as any kind of person.

He is neither a repentant sinner nor a cold-blooded person who is indifferent to everything.

He was like a gust of wind, passing by gently but leaving a deep mark.

Immediately afterwards, the golden eye pattern emitted white light, and then a system prompt sounded:

[The novelist has completed his confession and has achieved today's mission.]

Xiao Huai stood up and prepared to leave.

However, at this moment, his stomach suddenly growled.

The sound was particularly obvious in this quiet church, making Xiao Huai feel a little embarrassed.

He coughed twice, trying to cover it up.

Well... I've been using my brain too much lately, and I haven't eaten for a long time, so it's normal to be hungry.

He shook his head and laughed at himself.

It seems that being hungry is the norm in this dungeon.

Just as I was about to leave, I felt someone holding my hand.

Xiao Huai was stunned for a moment, turned around and looked, just in time to meet Lu Yuanshi's dark eyes.

Lu Yuanshi's eyes were deep and complex, and seemed to be mixed with some indescribable emotions, as if he was examining and exploring.

"Wait a minute." Lu Yuanshi said in a low voice.

Xiao Huai looked at him in surprise: "Is there anything else?"

Lu Yuanshi didn't answer immediately. He just looked at Xiao Huai and then said slowly, "You are the first person to come here to confess."

"So?" Xiao Huai narrowed his eyes.

Lu Yuanshi frowned. He was not used to Xiao Huai's nonchalant attitude, but he couldn't completely ignore him.

After a moment, he took a deep breath, as if trying to remain calm: "So, as the first one, you should get some...reward."

"Reward?" Xiao Huai raised his eyebrows and deliberately took a step closer, a look of feigned surprise on his face. "So, can I expect some special treat?"

The two of them were very close. When Xiao Huai had a smile on his face, there was always a kind of evil charm between his eyebrows, hiding a bit of cynicism, and a charm that made people unable to look away.

It inadvertently touched his heartstrings.
