After I became an ancient god

[Steam Age: Beak Doctor]

Rydell checked into the Old Tom Hotel in Lost Town.

This is a hotel that has been in operation for many years. It can be seen that the owner's family has taken good care of this old building, but they still cannot stop the years from dyeing the bricks and tiles into old colors.

Walking in the corridor of the hotel, the wooden floor creaked unbearably. The owner, Old Tom, looked apologetic, and led Riedel up to the third floor, the best single room in the hotel.

Lieder felt the kindness of the shopkeeper, and with a smile on his face, he indicated that he didn't care about these small details.

"Mr. Bruce, welcome to Lost Town. We haven't had any guests here this year. To me, you are a rare foreigner. I'm really glad that you can choose our store to stay." The owner, Old Tom, smiled He had a wrinkled face and was very kind.

"May Almighty bless you for a pleasant travel time!"

Old Tom said, holding the pendant hanging around his neck tightly, with a pious face.

Riedel took a curious look and found that it was an inverted cross pendant, which was exactly the same as the pendant given to him by the previous workers.

So, Leder also took out the pendant he put in his pocket, and said curiously: "Mr. Tom, what a coincidence, I also have such a pendant, which was given to me by a kind townsman I met before. May I take the liberty to ask the name of the god that this pendant represents? Forgive my presumptuousness and ignorance, I have been wandering outside for too long, and I am really out of fashion.”

Hearing this, Old Tom immediately looked at the pendant in Ryder's hand, and his face suddenly became a little subtle, as if he was angry and was suppressing his anger.

Seeing the change in old Tom's mood, Ryder felt strange. After all, he thought his tone was gentle enough, and even that fanatic who didn't know the name and taboo god shouldn't blame his ignorance for it.

So Redel asked, asking if he had said something wrong.

Old Tom shook his head, his expression returned to normal, and explained: "Oh, my Almighty Lord, you misunderstood, I am not angry, I am happy that Mr. Bruce can also bathe in the glory of my Lord! You are not the one who spread the glory of our Lord, that's why it is like this."

After listening to the explanation, Lieder still had a weird feeling in his heart. He always felt that the old shopkeeper who looked kindly on the outside was not telling the truth, but he had no reason to keep asking. After all, he was just a visitor from a foreign land. So Rydell stopped there and listened to old Tom start selling himself the new god their town believed in, an omnipotent god.

It's hard to imagine that a man with a beard and over middle age can say so many compliments. A bunch of exaggerated adjectives are piled up on that unknown god without repetition. Red as drunk.

"...It's a pity that it's getting late today, otherwise I really want to continue to introduce you to our almighty Lord, the omnipotent ancient god!" While talking and working, Old Tom blushed as he helped Ryder pack his luggage. After leaving, I finally said the name of the god.

Ryder smiled and thanked old Tom.

Watching Old Tom go downstairs and quickly lock the door, Liddell put the suitcase beside the bed, then frowned and thought about the new god believed in this remote town.

"Ancient God?"

A name I've never heard of.

Although it is unbelievable to say, but born in this steam age with rapid technological development, Lieder is actually not a devout religious person. He has traveled to many places and seen many things. He even began to doubt whether the gods are real. After all, the gods have never appeared in front of him in person, nor have they shown any miracles in the world.

Especially during the Black Death a year ago, his trust in the existence of gods dropped to the extreme.

Redel once questioned the sun god in the church, if he really existed, why didn't he come to redeem the world, but instead watched people die one after another with his own eyes, and finally countless cities were reduced to dead cities, with dead bodies everywhere.

Of course, the sun god didn't respond. Therefore, Riedel didn't really believe in the ancient god believed in in this small town, and even suspected that it was a false god that was only created. After all, the Black Death did not pass away. For a long time, people's minds were floating and restless, and it was not unheard of for someone to create a new god based on this.

Thinking of this, Riedel sat cross-legged on the bed, turned on the kerosene lamp beside the bed, and began to write a travel diary under the dim light.

[XXX X month X day

On the first day of living in Lost Town, the owner, Old Tom, introduced to me the god he believed in. Obviously, this is not any mainstream god, but an unknown new god, but the townspeople seem to believe in him very much. , I plan to investigate the source of this god tomorrow, perhaps, this can become my next poem material. 】

When Lieder wrote this, he stopped his pen, and heard the voice of the lampkeeper from outside the hotel, so he looked out of the window and saw misty white steam coming out of the chimney pipes under the drowsy sky. Floating on the ground, the lampkeeper stepped on the fog to light up the street lamps on the side of the road, and he was still singing some songs in his mouth. Riedel listened attentively, and heard some melodies, which were pleasant to the ear.

"...The stars light up, all things live together with you, when the stars twinkle, the gods will return~"

Weird melody, but nice to listen to.

Lieder simply recorded the melody in the diary with musical notes, and waited until the lampkeeper left before putting away the notebook and getting ready to go to bed. He was also very tired after a day of running around today, and he needed to refresh himself to collect materials tomorrow. .

Pata—the kerosene lamp was turned off, and Lieder fell asleep in the quilt with the scent of sunshine.

Downstairs, Old Tom didn't turn on the light, and stood upright in the hall, smiling as he did when he welcomed Rydell into the store during the day, muttering inaudible words to himself.

After seeing the lights on the third floor go out, Old Tom withdrew his gaze from looking upstairs, and continued to pray devoutly while holding the reversed cross in his hand.

It wasn't until late at night, when a strange rustling sound sounded outside the hotel, that old Tom stopped praying as if he had just woken up from a dream, and walked out of the hotel very skillfully in the darkness, following the strange sound.

In the far direction is Dr. Kate's house.

And there were hundreds of people like Old Tom, almost all of whom walked towards the dark depths with the same pious expressions and stiff and skilled steps.

rustling-

The sound in the dark night was like something whispering in people's ears, and it lingered for a long time in this quiet town at night.

In Science Building No. [-], ten people were still chattering about the disappearance of Ke Su and Lu Ren.

Looking at the deserted office, the younger brothers who looked more and more frightened were a little scared, and tried to persuade Qian Huan to leave quickly, almost sure that there was a ghost here, and thought it was better to leave as soon as possible.

"Fuck! It's okay! If you can't find anyone, you can't find them! Come out when they want to come out! Let's go first!"

Qian Huan's voice resounded throughout the corridor, he shook his hands irritably, he didn't want to appease the frightened younger brothers, he simply decided to leave first, after all, he just did something bad, so it's inevitable that something will happen if he stays here for a long time As for the situation, as for whether or not you have bumped into a ghost, let's talk about it after we get out.

Lu Ren's safety was not within Qian Huan's considerations, and he wanted to leave. Seeing this, Wen Wen's expression became unsightly, and everyone said, "Where is Lu Ren? Just ignore it like this? It's too ruthless." Bar!"

Wenwen is satisfied with Lu Ren's licking dog, and she is not ruthless enough to leave directly.

Hearing this, Qian Huan glared at Wen Wen irritably, and said viciously, "You can stay here and look for someone, I didn't stop you!" He was so agitated by his younger brothers at the moment, how could he have time to look for someone? The squad leader Lu Ren.

Originally, the relationship wasn't very good. Qian Huan just saw that Lu Ren was useful, so he condescended to talk to him and gave him a chance to hug his thigh. How could he bother to find someone.

After finishing speaking, Qian Huan turned around and took his younger brother out. Wen Wen stuck her waist angrily in place. Seeing that everyone had finished walking, she had no choice but to stamp her feet and follow. After walking past, everyone happened to be waiting for the elevator. I don't know why, but the elevator rises very slowly, as if it stops at each floor.

1, 2, 3...

Looking at the paused display screen, everyone couldn't help but feel a little weird, because everyone knew that this was a teaching building that had been banned, and except for a few idle guys like them, it was impossible to Someone came over, let alone every floor.

So... who's running the elevator now?Stopping on each floor is almost like waiting for someone to board the elevator.

People can't help but think that the female student who died in the building with a lingering ghost is just pressing the door button repeatedly in this elevator, waiting for strangers to step in.

Gudong—someone couldn't help swallowing, and the sound was particularly loud in the quiet corridor.

"Big, big brother, why don't we, let's go up the stairs!" A younger brother tugged at Qian Huan's sleeve and persuaded him in a low voice. Because of the extreme nervousness, his teeth couldn't help but tremble. .

Qian Huan frowned, put away his sleeves in disgust, and said: "There are no ghosts in this world! Don't scare me here! Brothers, if you believe me, follow me in a short while, and if you don't believe me, you will pull down and climb down the fourteen stairs by yourself. I won't wait for you." you!"

Seeing Qian Huan's resolute appearance, all the younger brothers showed embarrassment, and they all wanted to retreat. Although they all wanted to hug Qian Huan's thigh, they didn't go to the point of desperately doing it. It was impossible for them to follow him to the elevator based on the way he spoke.

He even complained that Qian Huan brought them to this haunted place.

Seeing this, Li Lanlan took the opportunity to hold Qian Huan's arm to show her loyalty, and said softly, "Brother Qian, I believe in you, I will go to the elevator with you."

Qian Huan looked at Li Lanlan unexpectedly, and hugged Li Lanlan's waist, he was really touched.

Sensing Qian Huan's movements, Li Lanlan smiled triumphantly, and leaned against Qian Huan's body weakly and bonelessly, thinking that she might be able to successfully match up with this rich and generous rich second generation today.

At the same time, outside the gate of Lishi University, Zhou Shi, a senior executive, was frowning and looking at the information on the light screen.

"There is another unrestricted supernatural event in this school? Why didn't anyone report it in advance?"

Xiao Wu showed embarrassment, and apologized again and again: "I'm sorry Team Zhou, I, I forgot to tell you, because the school said that there is no need to worry. Someone came before, but there is not enough manpower to deal with it recently. Temporarily banned Knowing the location of the incident, it is said that the danger is not high and it is easy to deal with."

Hearing this, Zhou Shi gave Le Xiaowu a dissatisfied look, and said earnestly: "Easy to deal with? Yes, it is indeed easy to deal with after understanding the way of killing ghosts, but for the students in the school, this is a terrible thing. Ghost!"

As he spoke, Zhou Shi looked at the file information about Lishi University on the light screen.

[Elevator girl: The long-haired girl who appeared in the elevator, stand at the corner on the left side of the elevator, with her back facing outwards, do not turn her back on it, otherwise she will walk out with the long-haired girl on her back when getting out of the elevator, and if she encounters any reflective objects, For example, if the long-haired woman is reflected in the mirror, she will die suddenly on the spot, and the long-haired woman will look for the elevator to kill again. 】

Ding-dong-

The elevator door opened, Ke Su looked at the opened elevator door, walked in, pressed the button for the next floor, and took out his mobile phone to watch the latest news.

"Lishi No. [-] subway line is closed! Suspected because of a ghost collision!"

Ke Su looked at the media that released the news expressionlessly, and it turned out to be the self-media.

If there is a ghost, why hasn't he, who just came out of the subway, seen it?

It's all bullshit.

Ke Su closed the news, and continued to search for other news. Outside the elevator, a long-haired woman curled up above the elevator, huddled in the elevator duct and dared not move.
