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

……

[The copy you entered this time is Points Monopoly]

[Level: S-level]

【No.;0213】

[Type: Death type, Novice trial, Multiplayer type, Survival type]

[Introduction: In this round of the game, there are no rules or games. Players are free to move around. You will be teleported into an ancient castle. After the players survive for seven days or the number of players is less than or equal to one, this round of the dungeon ends. In this round of the game, for every day the players survive, your points will double. Every time you kill another player, you will get the other player's points.]

[Note! The Qin Qiuhe disappearance case in 2017, the Li Youwei falling case in 2020, the Zhang Xiaogui car accident case in 2023, and the suspected murderer wanted by the Yanjing Evening News in 2024 will participate in this round of dungeons as novice players]

Hearing this electronic prompt tone and seeing the rippling water around him, Qin Shang's expression almost froze suddenly as he entered the dungeon, as his memory just "refreshed" and started over with the moment he crushed the "Martial Master with Brains" character card.

He didn't even have time to pay attention to his surroundings. All he saw was a replica of the iconic environment during the day, and his face suddenly became as gloomy as water.

What he didn't know was that he had just "refreshed" from this copy and entered "Reincarnation 2".

Because the current Qin Shang has lost his memory from the last "Reincarnation 1"...

At this point, "Reincarnation 2" truly begins!

"Qin Qiuhe, the (murderer) of Li Youwei's case..."

"This beast has actually become a Divine Road player?"

"Okay, okay, you bastard. Now that I think about it, I should thank the transmission mechanism of the Shenlu server for matching me with this bastard."

As soon as this thought came to his mind, Qin Shang turned his head and saw Shen Xiuxiu, who was wearing a scarlet wedding dress and looked a little confused.

He saw the girl in her wedding dress pouting at him with a confused look on her face.

He was slightly stunned, and it took him about two seconds to react, and then he spoke in astonishment;

"Hey! You're alive?"

"???"

After Qin Shang said this, he was also stunned, and then he complained in his heart, why did such a sentence come out subconsciously when I saw Shen Xiuxiu's mind?

The next moment, he came to his senses and coughed dryly:

"No, what's going on? Why did you come out?"

In fact, Qin Shang was also quite surprised when he turned around and saw Shen Xiuxiu.

What the hell, I just teleported into the dungeon, why did Shen Xiuxiu come out?

"Actually... I also wanted to ask you a question!"

"But there's something even stranger. I've become a player..."

After saying this, Shen Xiuxiu pouted her red lips and nodded at Qin Shang.

"I also have a light blue screen here, with [Points Monopoly] written on it..."

???

What the hell! ?

In this dungeon, Shen Xiuxiu actually possessed the characteristics of a player! ?

Qin Shang was shocked and immediately opened the inventory.

This situation is fucking outrageous...

What the hell is this?

The next moment, he saw an item that did not belong to him appear out of nowhere in his inventory.

Two, to be exact.

Two brown wooden boards occupy two slots in the inventory.

Qin Shang's eyelids twitched. There was clearly no such thing in my inventory before I entered the dungeon!

And when did I use 'Xiu Xiu's Blood Pipa' to summon Shen Xiu Xiu?

Thinking of this, Qin Shang looked up at Shen Xiuxiu, feeling somewhat bewildered and stunned;

"Were we together just now?"

Shen Xiuxiu shook her head, her pretty face full of confusion.

At this moment, Qin Shang was surprised to notice that there were two cute pink jade feet under Shen Xiuxiu's feet, and they were no longer floating in the air as before.

His expression froze for a moment.

What is going on here?!

There are too many surprises in this copy, right?

Without further ado, he immediately took out the two wooden boards of unknown origin.

[Ding! Players please gather at the castle]

Upon hearing the electronic prompt, Qin Shang did not move his feet immediately, but stared at the two wooden boards in his hands in astonishment.

"Follow the masked woman closely after entering the dungeon."

This is the word on the first board, a woman wearing a mask! ?

Is this a clue someone left for me?

Does this mean that a woman wearing a mask will appear among the other players in the copy later?

Qin Shang opened his mouth.

Could it be that it was left behind by the Thunder King? !

At this time, Qin Shang's memory had been refreshed once. He didn't know that this was actually the second time he entered this copy called [Points Monopoly]. However, this did not affect Qin Shang's frown as he stared at the other wooden board in his hand.

"It's not me. It's not me at all. I'm not (the murderer) at all."

"(Murderer)? What (Murderer)? What does the writing on this board mean?"

"Why? Why doesn't anyone want to believe me?"

……

"I understand. I finally understand..."

……

"Damn it, damn it, Thunder King, you deserve to die..."

……

"He said he found a basement with the words Seven Days Game written inside."

……

"I can never leave here..."

He read the words above carefully and seriously. After reading the contents for a while, Qin Shang fell into silence.

What does (murderer) mean? In this copy, besides the Qingshan Street murderer who killed his parents, are there other (murderers)?

What the hell is the Thunder King?

Has the King of Thunder and Lightning been to this copy before?

Before I entered [Score Monopoly], I could guarantee that this piece of wood was definitely not in my inventory. In other words, these two pieces of wood appeared only because I entered the [Score Monopoly] instance...

The information on the wooden board is probably related to the "Points Monopoly" dungeon, right? !

For Qin Shang, who has entered "Reincarnation 2" at this moment, he obviously has not heard what the recorder mentioned at the beginning of the copy, so he has no idea that Jiang Qiqi and the King of Thunder and Lightning had been here before.

In other words, Qin Shang now has no memory of the battle of wits and courage with 'Man Disturbing My Heart' in the dungeon just now, but...

He pondered for a long while, his expression changing back and forth for a long time, and finally frowned.

"The origin of this board is a bit strange. Since I am the only one who can use the character card, there is definitely no other player who can put things in my inventory at will. In other words, I put these two wooden boards in there myself. This is quite interesting. I have no memory of the origin of these two wooden boards. So, I was either hypnotized or I lost my memory. And there is also Shen Xiuxiu... Why did she suddenly become a player?"

"This is indeed quite intriguing..."

Thinking of this, Qin Shang heard the urging electronic reminder sound again in his ears.

Now he collected his thoughts. No matter who had put this board into his inventory, if it was himself in other "rounds" or Jiang Qiqi, it meant that this copy was not simple. It should be someone, and this person was most likely himself... a hint left for himself.

Thinking of this, Qin Shang calmed himself down. It seems that I have to find a way to be cautious and low-key next.

"First...find a way to find the woman wearing a mask mentioned on the board!"

……

Half an hour later, Qin Shang and Shen Xiuxiu got their own number balls at the entrance of the castle. They also figured out the main gameplay of [Points Monopoly] from the copy prompt sound. Now he was more certain that there must be some connection between himself on the wooden board and this copy. No wonder there was something like murderer written on the wooden board. It turned out that the players in this copy also had different identities.

They are divided into three different professions: murderer, civilian, and detective.

As a public enemy, the fraudster would have been targeted, but he also met the masked woman as he wished. The information on the wooden board was not deceptive. There really was a masked woman in this multiplayer copy.

However, someone who surprised him also appeared in the copy.

reporter!

The reporter who reported the case of the mother committing suicide by jumping off the building.

The moment he saw this guy, Qin Shang almost couldn't suppress the murderous intent surging in his heart, but when he thought of the words left on the wooden board, he restrained himself.

The core gameplay of this copy is probably not just what you hear and see now, there may be some hidden gameplay.

Thinking of this, Qin Shang recalled the words that the copy prompt said...

[The Qingshan Street Murderer is the (Murderer) Player]

"This Qingshan Street Murderer is a (murderer) from the beginning, which is a bit difficult to deal with. In other words, according to the description of the dungeon, the rest of us have to stay in the room at night, but this guy is the only one who has the ability to move freely in the castle. Isn't this a bit too unfair to us!?"

That’s right, if the person standing here at this moment was Qin Shang from “Reincarnation 1”, he would probably be shocked right now.

After this copy was "refreshed", it actually formed the first new variable.

This time, the rules do not specifically target fraudster players, nor do they emphasize bugs.

This time, because he had seen the content left by Qin Shang from "Reincarnation 1" on the wooden board in advance, he did not rashly interrupt the reporter's opportunity to speak up and seize the right to speak like last time, but remained silent and pretended to be invisible.

Although the five people now have their own ulterior motives, they all reported their room numbers openly, even the reporters.

Reporter, the room number is 3.

Old sir, Mr. Ye, who has not yet announced his Shenlu ID, has a room number of 18.

Qin Shang's room number is 11.

Shen Xiuxiu's room number is 13.

The girl wearing a mask is number 6.

As for men's windbreakers, it is size 9.

Qin Shang glanced calmly at the five people in the field. Shen Xiuxiu and he had a telepathic connection, and the two could understand each other almost with just a glance. Qin Shang didn't know what would happen in the evening, but the Qingshan Street murderer was likely to commit the crime tonight.

Because he is the only new player in the game, if he returns to reality and his identity is exposed, he will definitely face countless troubles. If he stands from the perspective of being the murderer of Qingshan Street, using the advantage of his identity (the murderer), killing all these people in one go, and surviving alone for seven days to complete the dungeon is the best solution...

"Okay, since we all trust each other, we don't need to act separately. Let's all be together before dark. This will also prevent someone from dying at the hands of others and causing a new (murderer) to emerge."

The next moment, the reporter clapped his hands with a smile.

Hearing this, Qin Shang's eyes contained a hint of suppressed hatred, and he glanced at this guy inconspicuously. If the situation was not favorable for him to speak at the moment, Qin Shang actually wanted to say, I would rather get the identity of that (murderer) and kill you, a bastard, with my own hands.

So, this time the second variable appeared again...

But this time, Qin Shang, who had no memories after the refresh, and 'Man Disturbing My Heart' were unaware of this.

Because of the "Men Disturbing My Heart" after entering the copy, she could no longer run to the basement in advance to explore for her own ulterior motives and obtain her own memories of the previous "reincarnations".

Because this time, there was no young man who claimed to be a martial artist but was actually a fraudster standing up to interrupt and divide the crowd, sparking internal fighting among them due to distrust between each other. Instead, they gathered together under the leadership of the reporter and Teacher Ye and entered the castle.

……

Two hours later, everyone sat in their respective rooms.

The reporter looked around at the people around him, and then said seriously;

"I've just checked. There's food in the refrigerator in the kitchen of this castle. We can cook here. There's also a water dispenser in the restaurant over there. So this is really a special dungeon. It has modern appliances and furniture, but it's also a quiet, antique-style building. I don't know what era the story in this dungeon is set in."

After saying this, the reporter pursed his lips at the old man.

Upon hearing this, Teacher Ye coughed dryly;

"It's like this. For the time being, let's just stay in the restaurant. Everyone should go back to their rooms before midnight. If nothing unexpected happens tomorrow, we can spend the next seven days like this..."

Hearing this, the remaining windbreaker man and the masked girl looked at each other. Qin Shang also looked at Shen Xiuxiu inconspicuously. Everyone nodded secretly, but Qin Shang had a question in his mind at this moment...

such as……

If we really survive seven days, can we leave this copy?

He subconsciously grasped the character card in his pocket and opened his inventory.

"This game only lasts seven days, but it will never end, because the seventh day will never come. Before the seventh day comes, this place will enter a loop, regardless of whether there are any players alive or not."

"I can never leave here"

"We can't live without..."

The person who left the message on the wooden board said that when the King of Thunder and Lightning was exploring this copy, he discovered that the name of this place was [Seven Day Game]. Combined with what that person said at the end, Qin Shang had a bold but very absurd idea and guess.

Could it be that this copy is constantly "refreshing"?

If what the person who left the wooden board said is true, does it mean that this copy will continue to end on the seventh day and then "reincarnate" into the next cycle?

Will the players lose their memories and become like NPCs without realizing it, continuing to repeat everything they did last time in the dungeon?

Thinking of this, he felt a chill down his spine and his hair stand on end.

Because ever since he entered the castle, for some reason, he had an indescribable illusion and strange feeling, as if he had been here before.

However, the buildings and every brick and tile in this copy seem to reveal an indescribable feeling that is both familiar and strange.

This feeling is actually very common in reality and is called déjà vu.

At a certain moment, it seems that everything in front of me has happened before. Sometimes when I am doing something, I feel as if I have done it before in my mind. When I go to a place, it is obviously the first time I go there, but it feels extremely familiar, as if I have been there before.

Sometimes after having a dream, you realize at some point a long time later that the scene in front of you is exactly the same as your previous dream, including the characters and scenes. This strange sense of déjà vu is called déjà vu in the scientific community, also known as the hippocampus effect.

Big data shows that 60% of adults have experienced the hippocampus effect.

Qin Shang was not sure whether this was a déjà vu phenomenon or whether he had really entered this instance before, but he could not help but think in this direction because of the hint on the wooden board...
