Seven Virtues

In an ancient and simple village, there lived a group of free people. Their lives were extraordinarily simple, as if no evil or disaster could befall them. Every day, their faces were full of hope for life. good hope.

Under the largest banyan tree in the village, a young man sat on the haystack in front of the tree root and exhaled while looking at the bright blue sky above his head.

The world is impermanent, and the young man never thought that a simple accident would bring him here.

The young man’s name is Sangshui. He is 24 years old this year. Before coming here, he was a fresh graduate. Now he has graduated for three months. The only entertainment left is playing games.

Games are an essential part of Mulberry's life, but he hasn't played games for a while in order to find a job.

At [-]:[-] in the morning, the sloppy Mulberry just got out of the warm bed. He raised his hand and grabbed the alarm clock at his hand to squint at the time, only to barely distinguish that the hour hand on it was pointing to nine.

"Well, I'm so dizzy." Mulberry didn't turn off the lights until two o'clock in the morning to go to bed last night, and such an irregular schedule made him a little overwhelmed.

After washing her face, brushing her teeth, and taking care of herself, Mulberry took her wallet and walked to the nearest supermarket.

Every morning, Mulberry doesn't eat breakfast. He always eats breakfast and lunch together. After buying two packs of instant noodles, Mulberry lazily walks home.

But when he walked to the door of the game store, Mulberry was immediately attracted by a game trailer outside the game store. Mulberry had seen this game before, but because he had no time or energy at that time, he gradually ignored it.

This is a recently released online game called 'Truth, Goodness and Beauty'. In just one week, this game has become popular, and now you can see people playing this game in almost every game store.

The game's exquisite graphics and storyline full of mysteries always arouse people's curiosity about him, and the most crazy thing about him is the incredible death rate.

After the game started its public beta, Mulberry saw that countless people were forced to log out due to an unintentional action in just one minute after entering the game. The reason was that they were rejected and killed by the plot characters. die.

Mulberry still remembers the scene when he first saw someone playing this game, and he was already shocked by this game at that time.

That night because of boredom, Mulberry went to the nearest Internet cafe to play games, and that was the first time he saw this game.

At night, in the dark night Internet cafe, thirty or so young people filled up the scattered seats. The computer maps different colors of light.

Mulberry worked hard in qualifying as usual, typing on the keyboard with both hands quickly. After a few minutes, he barely won the first match.

It was at this time that he saw a bald man in his 40s sitting in front of the computer on the right. The man's face was very excited, as if he was looking forward to what happened next.

Sangshen was very curious about the man's appearance, and he couldn't help leaning slightly to look at the computer interface in front of the man.

Even under such a dim light, he can clearly see the screen on the computer as long as he only tilts his head.

It was a game that Mulberry had never seen before, and what was displayed on the interface of the game was the original start screen.

In this picture, Mulberry only saw seven gray grids flickering slightly, and the surrounding area was blank. The most conspicuous thing was the two words 'start' in the center.

After the man clicked 'Start', several beautiful pictures were displayed in front of the two of them, which were pictures with a slightly dark color.

Most of the people in those pictures showed a look of despair, their heads were always raised high, looking at the gray sky above their heads, as if they were praying for something.

The initial picture was very heavy and sad, but after the seventh picture, the color of the picture began to change, and the faces of the people who were overwhelmed by despair began to show smiles, and they began to wear new clothes and eat delicious food , and who brought these to them was not revealed.

After the eight paintings flashed slowly, the game officially started.

At the beginning of the game, there was no explanation or guidance, but the plot started directly.

Those eight paintings made Mulberry very curious. He wanted to know why people were so desperate and who brought them back to life.

After the man entered the game skillfully, he started a dialogue with the characters in the plot.

The scene that appeared at the beginning was a church, which was arranged very sacredly. A huge cross stood in the center of the church, which set off the church was particularly symmetrical, and five rows of wooden benches were placed on both sides of the church.

The whole church was covered in white. If there were no green branches under the circle of white roses under the cross, he would think that he was in an endless white.

At this time, after looking at the church, a beautiful boy wearing a holy white sacrificial robe walked towards the screen. His hair color was noble golden, and his pupils were blue as clear as the sky.

The young man looked only, and the beautiful smile on his delicate face made people feel like a spring breeze, "Hello, sir, what can I do for you?"

After the boy asked the question, a line of words appeared at the bottom of the screen in front of the man's eyes. The color of that line of words was red. It seemed that this was an answer designed by the game for players, and it was a compulsory question.

The man pressed the left mouse button without hesitation, and at the same time, his answer appeared in front of him, "My lord priest, I'm here to make amends."

The young man was puzzled, he was stunned for a moment, and then asked again with a smile, "Oh? What is the crime? As long as you are sincerely repentant, I believe Almighty God will forgive you."

The man looked at the boy's question, he hesitated, looked at the blank box in front of him, and entered the answer he felt most satisfied with while thinking.

"My sin is that I didn't tell the truth to my wife. I love her, but I neglected her because of my busy work. I'm guilty."

The man answered like this, which was the most suitable answer he knew after failing countless times, because he found that the more grounded the answer, the slower the ending would come, and the more likely it would be to increase the chance of success.

This was the man's answer to the boy's question, but unfortunately, after he sent out the words, the boy's face showed an angry look.

"Yes, you are guilty. Your sin is lying to the Lord. You neglected your wife and let her live in loneliness and fear. Your sin is unforgivable."

After the boy said this angrily, the screen in front of the man immediately went black, and the desktop returned to the place where he clicked 'Start' at the beginning.

"He's dead again." The man cursed angrily, and he clicked 'Start' quickly again, and the same screen as before appeared.

The man's mouse clicked quickly, and he didn't stop until the church appeared. This time, when the blank box appeared again, he was smart for a while.

"My sin is that I forgive everyone too much." The man typed this sentence with a smile, he was very confident that he could definitely succeed this time.

Sure enough, his answer this time satisfied the young man, who nodded with a smile, "Sir, forgiveness is a virtue, and you are innocent."

Then, the boy asked again, "Good sir, you can pray now." He sat on a bench beside him and read a book.

"What are you praying for?" The boy asked in confusion. This was the first time he succeeded, so in the game he had to follow the instructions on the screen to sit on a bench and close his eyes to pray, while he sat in front of the computer. I was bored looking around, waiting for the so-called prayer time to end.

But just after the man took a sip of the coffee at hand, the boy on the game screen suddenly stood up, his face looked particularly gloomy, and then, Mulberry actually saw the boy talking to the screen.

"Sir, your heart is not sincere." Then a sharp knife suddenly appeared and pierced the abdomen of the game character controlled by the man, and blood spattered from the bottom of the game, and then the man failed to clear the level again.

This scene also frightened the man. He didn't understand that he had followed the instructions, why he still failed?

The man who refused to admit defeat re-logged in the game again in the following time, but no matter which time, he would die at the beginning of the prayer.

The man's game experience made Mulberry very curious about this game, and he was even more curious about why men couldn't pass the level of prayer. The teenagers in the game seemed to know what kind of attitude the men outside the game had.

The unique design of the game made Mulberry eager to try it. He really wanted to try to pass the level and see how many levels he could pass, but after the Internet cafe closed that night, Mulberry still couldn't click on the game.

He clearly knew that he should have played that game at the time, but he had no memory of it.

Mulberry knows himself very well, and he knows that he is irresistible to such a game, but the memory of an hour during that period just disappeared, and does not exist in his mind.

It was also after that night that all gamers discovered that a player named Snapdragon had actually cleared all levels.

During the game, if one step is wrong, one step is wrong, as long as you make a slight thought that does not conform to the strategy character, you will overthrow it all and start over, and this player named Snapdragon actually cleared all levels at once, which is very important for other players. That said, it was a major blow.

And the most serious thing is that after that night, the game actually stopped serving, no matter old or new players can re-enter the game, and now there is only a beautiful and suspicious game trailer left in front of everyone .

This game seems to have a kind of magical power, it confuses everyone, in order to attract them, arouse their curiosity and dissatisfaction with the game, but it is very decisive, after someone clears all levels, it will cut off The possibility of everyone entering the game again.

Standing in front of the game store, Mulberry looked at the endless game preview and listened to the complaints from the people beside him. His expression looked very heavy.

"Hey, can you go or not? If you don't go, don't block my way." A 16-year-old boy standing behind Mulberry looked at Mulberry helplessly, and said angrily.

The young man's words made Sangshen come back from his memories, and he realized that he was unconsciously blocking the door of the game store, "Ah, sorry." Sangsan said with an embarrassed smile, and then he turned sideways to get out of the way road.
