The moment the priest turned around, the scene in front of us changed again.

The Temple of Light began to disintegrate.

——To be exact, the original "temple" still exists, but the priest took the initiative to step down from the altar.

Children with black hair and black eyes will still be sent to the temple for education, but they are no longer "holy children" who only belong to the temple, but purely practicing magic.In addition, they still live in the original family.

Priests opened the temple treasury and gave alms to the poor.

The king himself came to the temple and talked with the priest.During the conversation, the priest's weakness was evident, and he even spat out a mouthful of blood.

I heard the exclamation of other people beside me, and at the same time, I also saw a trace of relaxation from the king.

Ji Xiao also noticed something.

He half-sighed, and said, "That's right. In the past, the power of theocracy and the power of the king ruled this country together. But now, the priests are unwilling to be the spokesperson of the 'God'. If things go on like this, the power of the king will definitely be threatened—unless, the priest will not live long. .”

Ding Shan said: "His hair..."

Ji Xiao's analysis: "Before killing the 'evil god', his hair turned white all of a sudden, which is considered to have overdrawn his vitality. It's a pity, after doing so much, if he really dies soon, the remaining power of the original temple will be destroyed. It should be restored soon."

Ding Shan didn't say anything, just continued to observe.

After the king left, several other teenagers appeared beside the priest.They all have black hair and black rock, and they always appear cautious and respectful in front of the priest.

Although they didn't understand what they were talking about, judging from the atmosphere between the priest and them, the players quickly judged that the priest and them were both brothers and teachers.

Ding Shan: "The priest should be the one who knows his physical condition best. Is this to prepare for the future?"

Ji Xiao didn't say anything.

We continued to look down and saw a flower blooming and dying outside the window of the temple.Another year passed, and no one with a gray body who was obviously "marked" showed up.

Without the evil god, there would naturally be no sacrifices.

The priest could no longer stand up.He was half lying on the bed, listening to the news reports from several teenagers.

The veil around the bed fell, covering the face of the priest.

The teenagers talked and talked, their voices softened.

They looked at each other, hesitated to move forward, and called the priest.

But the priest did not answer them again.

He died like this, without a sound.

The scene before our eyes continues.

After the priest's funeral, the boys still guard the temple.

The king has visited several times, and the atmosphere between the two parties has become increasingly tense.

Something is brewing quietly, everything is about to change

At this time, the "cutscene cg" seems to be coming to an end.

Whether it is the king or the boy in the temple, they are all leaving us.

Our angle of view began to rise, overlooking the royal city from the air.Later, even the mountains outside the city came into our eyes.

The higher the angle of view, everything on the ground becomes small dots.

After that, we were like people on a roller coaster.Raised to the extreme, began to descend.

The soul has returned to the body, but we are not surrounded by the previous royal city and temple, but returned to the place where everything started.

There are flowers and trees, and flowing water in the distance.

We had an item draw here a few days ago.Only at that time, we were in a separate space.Up to now, all the players have gathered together.

Ji Xiao looked around, not quite sure, and said, "Is this the resting space for this game?"

Ding Shan and Teacher Jiang looked around, and they could only guess, and said, "Should?"

Ji Xiao said: "It seems to be the first time I have encountered such a situation."

Ding Shan: "Me too. I haven't had this kind of special resting place before. It's always where the game ends and I rest there."

Teacher Jiang: "Is it because this game is different?"

Ding Shan: "That's right, maybe we don't know much about it."

The two of them accepted this statement, and naturally Wang Luyao and Bai Wei could only listen to the opinions of the old players.

Ji Xiao frowned a little, but he didn't say much after all.

The players took a moment to explore in this small space.

The nearby woods, distant towns...all belong to the category of "can see, but not touch".In the end, there is only a small piece of space in the area where you can move freely.

This made Ding Shan and the others quite depressed, and Teacher Jiang even complained bluntly, saying, "There's not even a place to lie down and rest!"

After the words fell, there was a "grunt" sound from his stomach.

Teacher Jiang rubbed his stomach and said, "I haven't had a good meal for several days." The water was enough, "I don't know if there is anything to eat here."

Inside and outside the words, there is a lot of meaning that "if you don't even have food, you might as well not rest".

Ji Xiao felt concerned, and suggested: "Go to the river to have a look? Maybe there are fish."

I have a dispensable attitude towards this, but other players responded to Ji Xiao's call.

All together, go to the stream.Looking into the water, Teacher Jiang was delighted: "Hey, there really are."

From now on, it's just catching fish, lighting a fire, and having a lot of fun.It was nearly two hours before the grilled fish was actually eaten.

The players surrounded the fire that had just been set up, carefully tearing the fish.

When the fish was in the mouth, I actually didn't taste much of it, but the others were more or less satisfied.

I also said: "The taste is not bad."

After hearing this, Ji Xiao tilted his head and smiled, and said, "Unfortunately, there are no seasonings here."

I looked at him and thought: No, no, it's better as it is now, you don't have much room for development.

Ji Xiao: "Huh?"

Without changing my face, I said, "Yes, it's a pity."

Ji Xiao laughed again.

We ate fish and inevitably talked about what we had seen before.

Ding Shan tried to straighten out her thoughts: "According to what you said, the priest and the evil god are...friends? Or what? In short, the relationship is good. But the priest killed the evil god?"

Mr. Jiang "hangchihangchi" eats fish.Bai Wei had already returned to the state of blindness, so Wang Luyao concentrated on removing the fishbone for her.In the end, it was still Ji Xiao and Ding Shan who discussed it.

Ji Xiao said: "It was mentioned in the note that ordinary people have a more positive view of the sacrifices, and feel that the sacrifices are people who should be punished. However, judging from the situation of bounty hunters, the situation is not So. Well, at least not exactly."

Ding Shan: "Speaking of notes. Did Pei Hao look like that because he read the notes?"

Ji Xiao paused for a moment, thoughtful.

Ding Shan: "From the notes, in the bounty hunter scene, after everyone else died, he walked out alone."

When she said this, Teacher Jiang put down the fish in his hand and said, "So there is such an understanding."

Ding Shan: "But from our point of view, the conditions for leaving the cave are not like this."

Wang Luyao said, "What is that? I still don't quite understand it."

Ji Xiao thought about it, and said: "The notes also said that there was a nobleman who was 'marked' before, but he didn't enter. Afterwards, he killed his wife and children."

Ding Shan: "So the question is, what is the standard of 'marking'?"

After she finished speaking, Ji Xiao looked at her, then at Teacher Jiang and the others.

A thought popped up from the bottom of Ji Xiao's heart, it was very subtle, and even after he realized it, he found it inconceivable.

But now that I have such an idea, I can't help but think about it.

I heard his thoughts: "Just talking about the situation of Teacher Jiang and the others, is it similar to these sacrifices? Maybe I'm the one who is different?"

Ji Xiao suddenly said: "Wang Luyao?"

Wang Luyao: "Huh?"

Ji Xiao looked at her sideways and asked, "Did anything happen before you were pulled into the 'game'?"

Wang Luyao was taken aback for a moment, looking very confused, but she answered cooperatively: "What's the matter?"

Ji Xiao didn't say it directly, "It's more negative and unpleasant."

Wang Luyao gradually became quiet, and after a while, she said, "I've been cheated on."

Beside her, Bai Wei and the others realized something and looked in Wang Luyao's direction together.

Bai Wei's lips moved, with some doubts, she asked: "Lulu, did you have any more extreme ideas at that time?"

Wang Luyao rolled her Adam's apple.

She looked at a loss, because she didn't know why Bai Wei and Ji Xiao were asking such questions.But she looked at Bai Wei, and after a while, she still said: "I think those two people, if..." After a pause, "Gudu" swallowed, "It's fine if you can die."

There was silence.

Only the sound of birds, the sound of running water.

Wang Luyao breathed tremblingly and asked, "Is this why I came in?"

Bai Wei comforted her: "No, we just have a little guess, but Mr. Ji's situation is not like this at all."

Wang Luyao listened, and gave a low "hmm", but she still seemed mostly confused.

Her dazedness is still quiet, but Ji Xiao's mood has already completely overwhelmed me.

He wondered, "Is this really a coincidence? If so, if not—"

"It's not right. I'm doing this now. I'm trying to force the two things together. It's easy to go astray."

"But, what if? What if the conditions for the sacrifices to be 'marked' are the same? This game is completely different from before, and there is still such a long, so long world view to reveal. The games I have been to before seem to be just rough Putting the players at risk. The difference here must make sense, what could it be?

"If, just 'if'. Whether the players enter the 'game' or the sacrifices are selected, the conditions are the same. At some point, the idea of ​​killing someone arises. It's just an idea, no It will definitely be implemented, not necessarily out of pure malice, but also out of protection for oneself and others. So if the bounty hunter can go out, we can go out too. But Pei Hao, the evil god is always approaching He, because he implemented such an idea...Later, Teacher Jiang killed him for the purpose of 'protecting', which was different from Pei Hao.

"In this way, the nobleman who killed his wife and children also makes sense. Because he had such an idea in the first place, but he finally did it, and he can push everything to the mark of the 'evil god'.

"But there is another problem. Why was I pulled in even though I didn't have that kind of thought?...By the way, Shao Zuo and I are not regular players. This round can actually rule out our situation. Maybe not 'Players entered the game with the intention of killing', but 'players who entered the game with the intention of killing were gathered together and became sacrifices in this special instance'."

Thinking of this, Ji Xiao suddenly became enlightened.

"However," he turned and began to think again, "the relationship between the priest and the 'evil god' is obviously very different, but after he learned about the situation of the priests in the past, he argued with that man and got no results...he killed the 'evil god' ’. After that, he killed the man. He wanted to change something, he wanted to help other people... If only he could understand their conversation before, that would be great.”
