I picked up a boyfriend in the infinite game

Song Guicheng reacted and found that Calvin's residual soul was attached to Chu Wei, but he was not Chu Wei after all, nor was he a real player.

He didn't know about the soul-tracing game, nor did he know about the system and the main quest. He couldn't leave the copy and could only remain in the copy as a residual soul forever, and he didn't know when it would dissipate.

Calvin looked at Song Guicheng's changing expression and thought he had asked a taboo question, so he said cautiously, "It's okay if you don't answer."

After his identity was discovered, Calvin seemed to have shed a hard shell, revealing his soft inner self. He was still cold, but also gentle and sensible.

Song Guicheng shook his head gently: "It's not that I can't answer."

He just didn't know how to explain the Soul Tracking Game, players, and the main quest to people from a different era, environment, and concepts.

"Suhun is the name of the farm where we live, and the system is our manager," Song Guicheng changed the concept, "The system asked us to come here and assigned us the task of finding apples. We can only go back after completing the task."

Calvin: “What if it can’t be completed?”

Song Guicheng: "Death."

Calvin nodded thoughtfully, seemingly unsurprised.

"If your mission is to kill me," he held Song Guicheng's little finger, "will you kill me?"

Song Guicheng was speechless: "Then why didn't I just take your pendant and leave?"

He tapped Calvin's forehead lightly: "Little idiot."

Calvin was not angry, but chuckled: "Yes."

As if he suddenly remembered something, he clenched Song Guicheng's little finger and warned him, "If that woman gets beaten tomorrow, you must not help her."

That woman should be the hostess of the hotel.

Song Guicheng admits that he is not a saint. He was almost killed by her today, and Calvin's death was also due to her fanning the flames. How could he help her?

But he was curious: "Why can't you help?"

Calvin loosened his grip and looked around, as if he was hiding from something. He leaned close to Song Guicheng's ear and quickly said, "This is the rule here. Don't interfere in other people's family affairs."

Song Guicheng was startled. The rules here, he thought he had always overlooked an important question, "Have the rules always existed?"

This world itself has its own rules, and the Soul-Tracing Game sets rules for it, which are two completely different things.

Calvin lowered his eyes and replied, "It has always existed. We all know it, but we can't tell it to strangers."

That's why he was so careful just now.

It has always existed, and Song Guicheng's brain went blank for a moment.

If the Soul-Tracing Game sets the rules for it, then the copy world must be a game map developed by the Soul-Tracing Game, and both the characters and the plot are virtual.

But if the copy rules have always existed, then in addition to the game map, there is another possibility. This world itself exists, but it was discovered by the Soul Tracking Game, which used its power to intervene in this world and sent these "strangers" here.

Even if the player leaves the copy, this world will not disappear.

The situation was becoming more and more complicated. Song Guicheng rubbed his brows and said, "Since we can't tell strangers, is it okay if you tell me?"

"It's okay," Calvin shrugged, "I was already dead."

In the live broadcast room:

【What kind of hell joke is this? 】

[Laughing while being crazy and sorry]

[It’s okay for me to break the rules. I’m a dead person anyway~]

[Just bared his teeth and immediately retracted them]

……

Calvin was left with only a remnant of soul. He could not remember many things and only remembered some of the rules. He told Song Guicheng almost everything without reservation.

Some of them are deduced by the players, and some are unknown to them. Some rules will result in death if violated, and some rules will have negative consequences but will not cause death.

The players themselves know all these things.

"There is a strong demonic force left in the apple orchard," Calvin said. "People's emotions are amplified many times there. Once emotions control humans, it gives demons an opportunity to take advantage."

This is consistent with Song Guicheng's reasoning. There is a strong spiritual pollution in the apple orchard, and the source is the seven emotions that cause original sin in religion.

Players have all experienced some of the seven emotions to some extent, but not to the extent of being completely contaminated.

But Zhao Siming is a younger brother, a younger brother after all.

His arrogance, jealousy, and rage were too strong and he ultimately died in his own hands.

"Do you remember how you died?" Song Guicheng asked.

Calvin recalled and nodded: "My body died from abuse, and my soul was absorbed by the huge tree. However, the power of the tree was not strong at that time, and a remnant of my soul managed to break free and attached itself to the necklace."

He spoke calmly and easily, and made light of the sufferings of the past.

Song Guicheng had a complicated look on his face. He peeled a candy and stuffed it into Calvin's mouth: "This is the last one. Buy it tomorrow."

Calvin nodded obediently. He didn't tell Song Guicheng that he still had a lot of food in his pocket, and he ate it bit by bit.

"Do you know what that tree is?" Song Guicheng bent his arms and supported his knees with his chin in his hands.

Calvin shook his head and said, "I don't know. It never happened before. I only found the tree after I died."

However, his memory only goes up to the moment before his death. He has no idea what happened afterwards, and his memory is incomplete.

Song Guicheng saw part of it, and the other part was what Calvin didn't want others to see.

"That tree gives me a bad feeling. It doesn't look like a demon. It's more powerful than a demon," Calvin frowned and said with concern, "If possible, don't go there again."

This time, Song Guicheng escaped by luck for some unknown reason, but he might not be so lucky next time.

Song Guicheng pouted. He didn't want to go either, but he couldn't get out of the dungeon until the exploration level was 100%.

Besides, the person behind the scenes has already released Alan as bait, regarding the ceremony three days later, and everything in the dungeon...

"You must be more than the only soul that the tree has absorbed," Song Guicheng recalled the densely packed light spots on the tree, "many, many, many people have been sacrificed."

If a spot of light is a person, then the tree is no longer a tree, but a huge tombstone.

Another strange thing is where did so many dead bodies come from? There were obviously not that many residents on the farm.

Song returned and asked Calvin, "Have there been any strangers here before us?"

"I'm not sure," Calvin said, "When I regained consciousness, I was on this player."

"What?" Song Guicheng suddenly stopped Calvin from speaking, "You didn't take the initiative to rely on Chu Wei?"

Calvin was a little dazed: "Yes, I remember that I was dead and stayed in a very dark place for a very long time. A voice asked me if I wanted revenge, and I said yes. After I woke up, my remaining soul was in this person."

Song Guicheng originally thought that Calvin possessed the player through some means, but he didn't expect that there was a hand behind the scenes pushing everything forward.

He began to feel vaguely uneasy.
