Non-Human Seeking Re-employment

Chapter 112: a secret

Views:

Shen Dongqing looked at it for a while: "It's quite a middle school."

The person hanging on the ceiling got angry, and fell down with claws and claws, shouting: "Let you see how powerful the ghost king is—"

Shen Dongqing took a step back.

The man who claimed to be the Ghost King originally wanted to pounce on Shen Dongqing, but after Shen Dongqing took a step back, he didn't have time to change his direction, and slammed his face to the ground.

Shen Dongqing: "I see, then what?"

He looked down and found that he was still a little kid, and he probably didn't have waist height when he stood up.

Is it bad to bully children

This thought flashed through Shen Dongqing's mind, and then he mercilessly lifted the little boy up.

The mask on the little boy's face fell off, revealing a chubby face, and Shen Dongqing looked a little familiar.

"You, you let me go—" The little boy kept waving his hands, still threatening, "If you don't let me go, I will have your good fruit to eat!"

Shen Dongqing: "Guozi, what kind of fruit?"

The little kid screamed: "No fruit!"

Shen Dongqing: "Didn't you say so?"

Witches: "...Are you an idiot? Ahhh I'm going to kill you!"

The words fell, and a strong black energy erupted from his body, forming a huge grimace behind his back, rushing towards Shen Dongqing.

A smug smile appeared on the little boy's face: "Hmph, have you seen how powerful the Ghost King is?"

The grimace was menacing, his mouth was wide open, and there was a black vortex in the mouth. All kinds of grimacing and twisted grimace were gathered together, making a miserable cry, which was like a magic sound piercing the ear.

The grimace jumped up suddenly, hit the ceiling, and then rushed down, trying to swallow Shen Dongqing into his mouth.

It's just that before the grimace fell, Shen Dongqing raised his hand and directly smashed the grimace into pieces, turning into a black mist again, floating weakly in the air.

The little kid was stunned: "You, you... "

Shen Dongqing: "What are you?" He pressed the little boy on his lap and slapped him on the ass twice, with an exceptionally clear voice.

The little kid raised a decibel: "I'm the ghost king—"

Shen Dongqing stopped and thought for a moment: "Then I'll hit twice more?"

Then two more slaps.

The little boy was already lying on Shen Dongqing's lap weakly, crying into a ball: "Don't fight, stop fighting! I admit defeat!" Where did he look like in the second grade just now? Just like a little cabbage, crying so pitiful.

Just as soon as Shen Dongqing let go of his hand, the little brat stopped his tears and ran to the side and put on his hips: "Haha, my ghost king can bend and stretch like this! Be fooled!"

Just before he finished speaking, the little boy felt a tap on the shoulder, he twisted his neck stiffly, and saw a person standing behind him.

Zhou Wenyan: "Ghost King?"

Zhou Wenyan was completely hidden in the darkness, and with his tall stature, he looked even more terrifying than Shen Dongqing.

The little brat compared the odds of winning one pair and two, and ran away.

But within two steps of running out, he hung up in the air, his two little feet dangling constantly, but he couldn't run out.

Shen Dongqing took over the little brat from Zhou Wenyan's hands and beat him again.

The little kid is really crying now: "I was wrong, I was wrong, Dad, don't beat me up."

Shen Dongqing stopped and repeated: "Dad?"

He seemed to have thought of something, so he picked up the little boy and observed it face to face.

Taking a closer look, this little brat has a wrinkled face, dark and round eyes, and his facial features are somewhat similar to Shen Dongqing.

"Don't talk nonsense!" Shen Dongqing hurriedly stated his position and threw the little boy on the ground.

The little brat's identity was exposed, and he stopped pretending. He hugged Shen Dongqing's thigh and said with a crying voice, "I thought my father had left the game and would not come back, so I didn't recognize it. But you beat me up. At the time, the familiar strength and place, I recognized you as my father at once!"

There was too much information in this little brat's sentence, and Shen Dongqing hurriedly stopped: "Wait, you said I got out of the game?"

The little kid blinked his eyes and began to pretend to be cute: "I don't know, I know that my father has left the game, and my son will inherit his father's business, and I will be the next ghost king!"

Shen Dongqing: "...So it's really the ghost king?"

Then in the tower just now, didn't I scold myself

The little brat is very smart, and seeing that Shen Dongqing can't remember the past, he immediately starts to play stupid: "Ah, I forgot, I don't know!"

Zhou Wenyan stood up: "I'm coming."

The little boy turned his hand suddenly, and was carried by Zhou Wenyan. He was obviously a little afraid of Zhou Wenyan, shrank his head, and said cautiously, "I don't know anything..."

Zhou Wenyan weighed the weight of the little boy in his hand.

The little brat had a bad premonition, and then he heard the man casually say, "It's useless, let's destroy humanity."

Witches: ? ?

He could feel that Zhou Wenyan didn't mean to deceive people, and said quickly, "You, don't you ask anything?!"

Zhou Wenyan said lazily: "You said you don't know, I don't want to waste my energy."

The little boy held back for a long time, and then said, "I can recall it."

Zhou Wenyan: "Then you remember."

The little boy looked around, wanting to ask Shen Dongqing for help, but Shen Dongqing raised his head and hummed to show that he didn't hear anything.

He had no choice but to say: "I don't know very well, I know that my father disappeared for a while, then brought you back, and then disappeared again, and everything restarted."

Zhou Wenyan didn't understand the words in a mess, and narrowed his eyes threateningly.

The little kid quickly raised his hands: "I said, I said, you should know what's in this box!"

Shen Dongqing walked over, walked around the box in the center of the high platform, pointed to his nose and said, "Is this what I left behind?"

So it's his treasure? It must be a box of snacks.

Witches: "Mmmm."

Shen Dongqing didn't rush to open it, but after a long time, she couldn't hold back: "Are you really my son?"

It's unlikely, he died young, and he won't have this ability after he becomes a ghost!

The little kid still wants to lie: "Of course I am!"

Shen Dongqing stared at it for a long time, and then asked, "You created these eighteen layers of hell?"

The little kid looked excited: "Yes, yes, you think it's great too, don't you?"

Shen Dongqing's eyes were filled with pity: "I'm sure you're not my son anymore."

Witches: "Gah?"

Shen Dongqing shook his head: "My aesthetics won't be so bad."

The little kid looked like he was about to be beaten and cried: "I'm the kid you picked up, but, but can't I be the next ghost king?"

Well, this little brat will call Shen Dongqing's father, purely because he wants to inherit the position of this ghost king.

Shen Dongqing flexed his finger and gave it to him: "I'm not dead yet!"

The little kid tilted his head: "Isn't it possible to be a ghost king only after death? You are already alive, doesn't it mean that the ghost is 'dead'?"

Shen Dongqing also tilted his head: "Yes, I'm not a ghost anymore." Can I still be a ghost king if I'm not a ghost

The two were in doubt at the same time.

Zhou Wenyan couldn't help but smirked when he saw this same expression and movement.

Shen Dongqing reacted and stopped worrying about whether he could be a ghost king. He turned around to open the box, and he was silent for a few seconds: "But... what about the password?"

There is a delicate combination lock hanging on this box, which looks quite complicated.

Little kid: "...I don't know."

Shen Dongqing thought back for a while, but couldn't figure out what password he had set, so he simply opened the box with his bare hands.

click-

The combination lock was broken by Shen Dongqing and fell to the ground.

Shen Dongqing raised his hand, and the box slowly opened.

Before opening it, he was still wondering if there would actually be a box of snacks, and if they were snacks, would they have expired and couldn't be eaten.

As soon as I opened it, I found that there was only a thin piece of paper inside.

Shen Dongqing picked it up and looked at it. The surface of the paper turned yellow, and it was full of traditional Chinese characters written in cinnabar. The content was the date of birth of a certain person, as well as the name and place of origin.

As soon as he saw the date of birth, he muttered, "Ghost moon birth, a person of yin destiny?"

Ghost Moon Yin Destiny, the character is too light, is the most favorite fate of lonely ghosts and wild ghosts. Usually, Yin Qi is full of yin and can't live beyond the age of eighteen.

Before Shen Dongqing drove down, he heard Zhou Wenyan say, "This is my date of birth."

"Ah?" Shen Dongqing looked down, and sure enough, the three characters "Zhou Wenyan" were written in traditional Chinese.

Holding the paper, he suddenly realized: "This is my most important thing."

Ghost Moon Yin Destiny usually doesn't live past the age of eighteen, and Zhou Wenyan can live to this day only because he was instructed by the master when he was young, and he married Li Gui.

Of course, that Specter is Shen Dongqing.

So this piece of paper is not just a simple birth date, but a marriage contract, which was witnessed by ghosts and gods, and is more formal than a marriage certificate.

Shen Dongqing put away the marriage contract, looked inside the box again, and found that there was a piece of paper underneath, he reached out and picked it up.

Compared with the previous official marriage contract, this one is more casual, with a full page written in kindergarten font, and the writing is crooked.

Shen Dongqing knew at a glance that this was a font that only he could write.

[If you see this letter, it means that the game has lost control, and you may have lost your memory]

[You have to be careful…]

This letter outlines a few things.

Ghost Town is an S-level dungeon in the game, and Shen Dongqing is the boss Ghost King, but he is not under the control of the game, but out of a cooperative relationship, he is responsible for keeping the lonely ghosts wandering in the world in the game. Inside, the game is responsible for introducing some players who are in a vegetative state or dying, and use various copies to stimulate players and keep their minds active.

This was originally a win-win situation, and the game was also positive and optimistic. Not only would players not have their lives in danger, but they could also give them a chance to be reborn.

I just didn't expect the system to lose control and directly shut down the entire game, breaking the rules I made and capturing players at will.

Zhou Wenyan estimated that he was brought into the game at that time.

Because he and Shen Dongqing must have a relative, they can obtain the protection of Specter, and there is no danger in the game. Later, one person and one ghost met, and Shen Dongqing found Zhou Wenyan and planned to send him out.

Shen Dongqing and the game have a peaceful cooperative relationship, so he has the authority to send players away. But at the last moment, the game came out and slapped him. I don't know what happened. It was Shen Dongqing who successfully left the game, and Zhou Wenyan stayed.

When Shen Dongqing realized that he was cheated, it was too late. In order to protect Zhou Wenyan, before leaving, Shen Dongqing left Li Gui's power to him.

According to the game safety regulations, the player who leaves the game will clear all memory, so he can't remember what happened in the game. In order to eliminate the traces of Shen Dongqing's existence, the game directly reset all the dungeons except the ghost town, and the players were reset and started all over again.

However, it was precisely because of the restart that even the game didn't recognize Shen Dongqing at the beginning, and after recognizing his identity, it was already too late.

But it may be fate, after Shen Dongqing left the dungeon and wandered for a while, he ignorantly occupied a body that had just died, just in line with the loading conditions of the game, and entered the game again.

When two people meet again, even if they are in a state of not remembering anything, and the marriage contract they have formed cannot deceive anyone, they will still approach each other involuntarily.

Under the misunderstanding, the two experienced various game copies, which happened to stimulate the memory of the past, and returned to the ghost town again to retrieve the "treasure".

Treasures are not so much the things inside the box as the memories of the past, and more importantly... each other.

Shen Dongqing turned the other side.

It says... Although the game lost control, when he cooperated, he left a hand and left a controller in a certain game field to temporarily gain control of the game.

Shen Dongqing watched everything and turned to stare at the little boy.

Witches: "… "

Shen Dongqing: "Hand over it."

The little boy reluctantly took out a quaint token with a ghost symbol drawn on it, and no one couldn't help but write what it meant.

But Shen Dongqing knew that this was the token of the Ghost King, which could command all the ghosts. However, the symbolic meaning is greater than the practical meaning, Shen Dongqing can make all the ghosts obediently by himself, and it is useless to fall into the hands of others.

Shen Dongqing held the token, and under the distressed eyes of the little brat, he directly broke the token into two pieces, and a shiny silver ornament fell out of the section.

This is a copy keepsake.

Shen Dongqing held the silver ornament in his hand and asked, "Can you control this tower?"

The little kid nodded: "Yes."

Shen Dongqing: "Then cancel the eighteen layers of hell for me, it's too ugly!"

Witches: "… where is it ugly?"

Because everything was too ugly, Shen Dongqing couldn't say it for a while, and finally he said: "Anyway, it's ugly, it doesn't fit the identity of the ghost king, you can let the people inside out."

As soon as the little boy heard it, he jumped up immediately, and ordered the zombies under him to clean up the eighteen layers of hell and throw out all the things that did not meet the identity of the ghost king!

The player trapped in the hell of the mirror was "invited" out by the zombies, standing outside the tower with a confused look.

Fortunately, they didn't stay stunned for too long, and they saw a group of people come out of the tower.

The crow who was standing at the door dozing was suddenly excited, flapping its wings, and shouting at the group: "Ghost King, Ghost King—"

Ghost King

The players were shocked and stared at the group of people.

It is said that the ghost king is the final boss in the ghost town. Generally, players can only be cannon fodder in front of him, and there is no way to resist.

But doesn't it mean that the ghost king has disappeared for a long time

blah blah—

The footsteps gradually approached, and behind the two tall figures was a short-legged kid who waved at the crow: "No gift, no gift!"

After walking in, the players could clearly see the appearance of the little kid. The kid was quite cute, white and chubby, with blinking eyes full of little stars.

"Is this the ghost king?" the players whispered.

"It doesn't look like it, it's too small."

"Didn't you say killing people without blinking? That's not true either."

Hearing what the players said, the little kid grinned and said with a smile, "I can kill someone with a blink of an eye."

As soon as these words came out, the players were so frightened that they immediately stopped their mouths.

The little kid sneered, and he really looked like it.

But it didn't take long for Shen Dongqing to give him a shock. He immediately covered his forehead with tears in his eyes, and shouted aggrievedly: "Dad—"

Wu Jia greeted him and asked, "Have a child come out so soon?"

Zhou Wenyan did not object, but raised his eyebrows and looked at the brat.

The little kid is obviously able to bend and stretch, and he said on the spot, "Big Daddy!"

The other players saw that this little brat really looked a bit like Shen Dongqing. Standing in the middle like this, it really looked like an auspicious family of three.

Shen Dongqing was too lazy to explain, and said to Wu Jia, "You can clear customs now."

Wu Jia: "You found the ghost king's treasure?"

Shen Dongqing couldn't make it too clear, so he could only vaguely pass.

Wu Jia understood it, but didn't go too deep into it: "What about you?"

Shen Dongqing said: "We have to go to another copy."

That game copy has the controller he left behind, so it's better to go early just in case.

As soon as Shen Dongqing finished speaking, the little brat hugged his thigh, raised his head and said pitifully, "I'm going too! I can help!"

Shen Dongqing was so arguing that she could only agree: "Okay, okay."

The little boy hugged Shen Dongqing's thigh and laughed.

Zhou Wenyan couldn't stand it any longer, so he picked up the little kid from behind, slipped him aside, and then took Shen Dongqing into his arms, saying that it's best to stay away.

Wu Jia is speechless:…

How can you even eat a child's vinegar! Boss, has your character set collapsed a little too quickly

After passing through the eighteen layers of hell, the other players also realized that they could not get the treasure of the ghost king with their strength, and they left the ghost town one after another without any other ideas.

After all the players left, Shen Dongqing and the others also left the dungeon, took the dungeon token, and headed to the next destination.

In the endless darkness, a huge eye hung in the air, with a black circle on the periphery and a cold golden vertical pupil in the center.

It was spinning constantly, as if taking everything in its eyes.

[Warning, Warning]

Mechanical female voices were constantly heard in the void.

[Game malfunction, warning]

The eyeballs spun, and a light curtain appeared in the darkness. In the blink of an eye, tens of thousands of photos flashed on it, dazzling.

But fortunately, the eyeball is not a human eye, it is a precise system, and it is easy to import this huge data one by one.

The light curtain stopped and fixed on one of the photos.

Zhou Wenyan's hand rested on Shen Dongqing's shoulder. He lowered his head. The two seemed to have just said something. A small dimple appeared on Shen Dongqing's cheek. .

[Warning, please remove dangerous people]

[Warning, Warning]

The calm eyeball fluctuated for a while, and it seemed to be gnashing its teeth: "If it could be cleared, I would have cleared it already, do you still need to tell me?"

The set program obviously did not understand why the eyeballs were excited, and they continued to repeat the alarm sound tirelessly.

Eyeballs got impatient, and directly muted the program.

The void fell into a dead silence again.

The eyeballs rolled anxiously, and the vertical pupils widened and narrowed.

Although the game is out of control, there is one principle that it cannot interfere with anyway, and that is fairness, absolute fairness. Once the players enter the dungeon, no matter what, the game cannot intervene, so it has no way to kill the two players through regular procedures.

However, it is also used in informal programs, and there is still no way.

Eyeballs feel a little headache.

Various data streams flashed from its eyes, like a dazzling galaxy. It didn't know how many previous records it had read, and finally found a way.

"Maybe try this—"

[You have entered a new game]

Shen Dongqing opened his eyes and found that he was in a snow-white space.

There are almost no other colors here, everything is white, the walls, the bed, the ceiling... are all flawless white, and even feel a little hollow after looking at it for a long time.

Shen Dongqing looked down and found that he had changed into a blue and white hospital gown. He touched his pockets again, but there was nothing left of his belongings other than the clothes.

He took a deep breath and smelled a scent of disinfectant.

Is this a hospital

Shen Dongqing looked around, he was the only one in this room, Zhou Wenyan and the little kid were gone.

At this moment, a white wall clock hung on the wall ticking.

It's nine o'clock at night.

The voice of the game rang again. It was a gentle female voice, speaking like a lullaby, very rhythmic.

[You have a secret]

[Never tell anyone else]

[If anyone else knows]

[You will be swallowed by ants and entangled by poisonous snakes]

[Don’t, don’t tell anyone—]

At the back, the female voice turned sharply and became so high that it almost broke, and the words poked in the heart, enough to make people breathless.

[Otherwise, your bones will be spurned, your flesh and blood will be trampled, and you will die—]

Shen Dongqing sat on the edge of the hospital bed, resting his chin in his hands, and blinked in confusion: "But... I don't even know what the secret is, how can I tell others?"

"Is this contradicting each other?"

The game is silent.

It kind of wants to ask, why every time you finally create an atmosphere, you can easily destroy it

Shen Dongqing, who couldn't get an answer, was still asking: "Wait and get out, you haven't told me what the secret is!"
