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

Qin Shang frowned. According to the historical plot of [Monastic Grudge No. 1], the horror stories in the monastery should have happened after Wu Shiqi's death.

You don't need to ask to know that most likely 80% of the players in the field have reached such a consensus.

They obviously also knew that Wu Shiqi was actually the mastermind behind various folk horror stories in the monastery.

Then the question arises, in the current timeline of the copy, isn't Wu Shiqi still alive?

So what's the weirdness in the monastery now?

[Players who fail to find good friends will be subject to a penalty mechanism...]

The next moment, the teasing voices of children rang out above everyone's heads.

Qin Shang's expression turned stern.

"Punishment? The rules of this competitive game don't mention any punishment mechanism. It only mentions that players who fail to find friends in the game will be eliminated!"

"What's going on? And who is the subject of the punishment? Is it Shenlu who is punishing the players or the weird one who is talking?"

His pupils shrank slightly and he immediately leaned against the door.

A melodious piano sound rang out from all directions. The players in the room were locked in the room at this moment and could only see the outside scene through a glass about the size of a washbasin.

At this moment, the strobe lights on the ceiling were turned on again, and the hall on the first floor of the monastery was once again filled with black and white flashes.

The players in the room tried hard to see clearly what was happening in the hall outside, but unfortunately their vision was blocked. Coupled with the lighting problem, they could only vaguely see the figures of two people.

Qin Shang stared at the hall, vaguely seeming to see another player named Tom is not a cat for some unknown reason.

The two began to run towards the center of the hall in panic, as if something had happened, as if something was chasing them.

At this moment, the accompaniment that sounded from all directions seemed to have come to the vocal part.

The noise of children humming songs began to be heard from all around, accompanied by a familiar rustling sound.

At this moment, Qin Shang's expression changed drastically.

He always felt that his hearing was relatively sensitive. At this moment, unlike other people who could only notice the accompaniment of the nursery rhyme, Qin Shang noticed a buzzing sound. The sound was exactly the same as the sound made by the long neck moving strangely that he heard in the Jiangcheng Xiang'an District Art Museum before he was teleported into the copy.

[My sister is carrying a doll...]

【Walk to the garden to see the flowers...】

[The baby is crying and calling for mommy...]

[The butterfly in the painting is laughing...]

[My sister is holding a doll...]

【Let’s go to the garden and play…】

[The baby is hungry and calls for his mother...]

[The little bird on the tree is laughing...]

As soon as the song started, Qin Shang felt a chill unconsciously, and he shivered and got goose bumps all over his body.

"Why do these lyrics sound so creepy?"

"Nursery Rhyme!"

"It's 'Sister Carrying a Doll'..."

At this moment, a player in Room 3 recognized this nursery rhyme that was once popular in the streets and alleys and was well-known to everyone in the 70s. Qin Shang was stunned for a moment, looking confused, and turned his head to look at Master Zheng.

Noticing that Zheng Gongwei also had a confused look on his face, Qin Shang narrowed his eyes.

At this time, he was too lazy to care about the "shadow" in the corner of the room. That thing was also in a [sealed] state during the competitive game. Like other players, it could not use the professional skills granted by the Divine Road.

Therefore, this "shadow" does not have much influence on him now. When several other players in Room 3 first discovered that there was a guy in the room who looked exactly like Qin Shang who was holding the door outside, they realized that Qin Shang was the player copied by the "shadow".

At this moment, with the end of the first round of confrontation games, everyone saw the players who had followed the fox-faced man who said "whoever gives you milk is your mother" and entered through the "official mission" falling apart one by one, but except for the player number 13, no one was hurt.

Many people looked at Qin Shang with awe and gratitude in their eyes.

In fact, there was no need for Qin Shang to make such a big fuss. If he wanted to quickly eliminate other players, as the only person copied by the "shadow" and the only person in the field who could find out at a glance which room the "shadow" was in, if he wanted, he didn't need to be so frank and play the game openly.

But he exposed his advantages to everyone in the first round of the game.

And he did what he promised before the game started, even though few people believed him at that time.

But the final result was that all the other players who did not cooperate with the Bad People organization completed the first round of the game.

While these people felt awe, they couldn't help but have a better impression of the young man.

Therefore, when Qin Shang was arguing with the fox-faced man, several people had consciously and actively stood in front of the "shadow" to prevent the garbage generated during the operation of the Shenlu server from interfering with the young man out of instinct.

"Which era is this nursery rhyme from?"

The next moment, Qin Shang lowered his voice and asked the other players in the room.

A middle-aged man with a slicked-back hair looked at the man next to him who looked to be around 40 years old, and stammered uncertainly;

"It seems like it was in the 70s, right? This song should have been created in the 50s, and later became a music textbook for some people born in the 70s and 80s when they went to school. But later it was banned for some unknown reason, and it seems that few young people today have heard this song..."

Qin Shang was born in the 90s, oh no, to be precise, he was born in the 95s.

This song was probably banned when he was in school, so it is reasonable that he has never heard of it.

But after hearing these words, Qin Shang's thoughts flashed through his mind at a rapid speed.

The story of Jiangcheng Monastery takes place in the 90s, but the protagonists in this story are most likely born in the 70s and 80s.

After all, Wu Shiqi, who was already an adult and in love in 94, and was preparing to have a baby with the character in the copy, must have been at least in her twenties at that time, right?

So, isn't Wu Shiqi a post-70s generation?

So the weird person humming this song is Wu Shiqi?

That raises a question, how can a person be both a weird NPC and an NPC in the main storyline of the dungeon?

Something is wrong, very wrong.

To put it more succinctly, how can a person be both alive and dead?

Wu Shiqi is not dead at this stage before the main quest begins in the dungeon.

How could that be the weird element that dominates this competitive game at this stage?

Is there more than one weirdness in this copy, or is there more than one weirdness in the entire story of "The Monastery"?

"This song was not banned, it was prohibited. It is now a banned song. Don't you know that?"

"For some reason this song suddenly became popular again, and soon netizens dug up the weird story behind it. A horror version of the song was circulated on the Internet, with a strange accompaniment that made people shudder for some reason. A large number of netizens also went to look for folk clues related to the lyrics, and were surprised to find that each line of the lyrics seemed to match a widely circulated ghost story. Some even started writing horror ghost stories behind the lyrics. Coupled with the strange background music, that version of the song really made many people feel uncomfortable."

"Although most of the information circulating online is false and fabricated by netizens, it still does not affect the official ban of this song..."

"This song is now one of the top ten banned songs in reality..."

"It used to be a song in textbooks, but since it became a banned song, you can hardly find any trace of it even on the Internet. So people born in the 70,80s and 90s may have some impression of this song, but people born in the 00s and s have basically never heard of it!"

At this moment, a thin figure squatting behind Zheng Gongwei in the crowd in Room 3 slowly spoke.

The voice was calm and cold.

Hearing this, Qin Shang subconsciously turned his head to look at the other person. It was a thin and capable woman.

If we really talk about appearance, she and that 'Urine is the teardrops of the bladder' are actually on the same level, but this woman's temperament is a little intimidating. She wears light makeup, and her slender willow-leaf eyebrows contain a hint of seriousness. She wears a white tight cotton coat on the upper body and a pair of stretch pants on the lower body, which sets off her beautiful figure.

From time to time in the room, at this moment, the male players who survived the disaster would cast their scrutinizing gazes on the women and take advantage of them with their eyes.

Qin Shang ignored the others and asked with a frown.

“What does this song say?”

"It seems to be a horror story about a body buried in the garden. Let me think..."

The next moment, who knew that the capable-looking thin woman's eyes flashed with thought, but after a moment she shook her head;

"I don't remember the details, sorry!"

"?"

You miss your mom...

Qin Shang almost couldn't help but blurt out a swear word.

But he suppressed his nervousness and talked to himself.

It's normal that people can't remember it, after all, it's something from a very long time ago...

Oh no!

The next moment, Qin Shang was stunned again and looked up and down at the capable woman who spoke.

She looked to be around twenty years old, at most about the same age as Zheng Gongwei and Yin Shisan. Even if she was a few years older than Qin Shang, she was not much older.

As someone who was also born in the 90s, according to her, this song was already banned when she was in school.

How did she know this?

At this time, as if seeing through Qin Shang's thoughts, the woman responded lightly.

"I'm a reporter from Hong Kong Island. That song was originally used in coastal cities. When I joined the unit, I read some interview documents and news materials, so I knew about this matter..."

"At the time, the song was originally included in the textbooks for primary school students in Hong Kong Island. Later, some schools in coastal cities also used the textbooks to teach music lessons to primary school students. However, when the textbooks were banned, the song had not yet been introduced to the mainland, so it was already banned, so it was not well-known in the mainland."

So that's how it is. Qin Shang glanced at the two players who spoke at the beginning.

The fat man and the uncle with slicked back hair.

In this case, those two people are most likely players who entered this dungeon through the "Shadow Projection Area" on their own.

After all, according to the female reporter, only people born in the 70s and 80s in coastal cities had heard this song when they were in school.

Jiangcheng happens to be a coastal city not far from Hong Kong Island. In other words, most of the people who have heard this song are native to Jiangcheng.

However, there are no regional restrictions when the Divine Road teleports players to the next dungeon.

For example, Qin Shang’s first copy [Death Train].
