Kou Dong felt the familiar dizziness, and when he woke up, he had already returned to the familiar Shanhai Village.
—he had just left less than a minute away.
Kou Dong: "..."
angry.
He has always been used to using coquettish operations to deceive NPCs, but he never thought that there would be times when NPCs used coquettish operations to deceive him. The most irritating thing is that this NPC learned his tricks just to make a date with him...
What's the deal
Kou Dong not only feels sorry for the props he spent, but also wants to blow up the dog's head of the NPC.
He finally identified his surroundings clearly, and found himself in a strange temple. This temple is completely different from the god temples he saw in Shanhai Village. Hundreds of exquisite lotus lanterns hang high, and the vermilion pillars are engraved with extremely fine patterns of celestial maidens scattered flowers. In the center, he is holding a flower with one hand, the petals are smooth and lustrous, with a faint golden light—it is no different from the mural in the evil temple.
There are a few sporadic people in the temple, kneeling on the cushions and bowing down to him devoutly. Kou Dong heard their whispered wishes, women wishing for marriage, old men wishing for their children and grandchildren to be healthy, these are all simple and normal wishes.
It seems that during this date, Kou Dong's time went backwards again.
He returned to before the villagers of Shanhai Village killed the gods, and he was still the righteous god that the world worshiped and worshiped.
Perhaps it was because it was still early in the day, and not many villagers came from the village.
Except for the old man who wakes up early, there are only young women who don't want others to know what's on their minds. After they also walked out, the temple fell into silence again, only the god sitting alone on the throne.
The faint morning light illuminated the doors and windows little by little, and no one else was seen.
Kou Dong was not in a hurry.
Since it is a date, it is natural to have two protagonists.
Now that he's here, the other... should be on his way.
He didn't wait long. But after a while, there were other voices outside the door.
Someone pushed open the creaking wooden door, and Shi Shiran walked in with a full skirt.
"—I've been waiting for a long time." The evil god spoke in a lazy tone. He naturally walked up to the altar and stroked the righteous god's cheek. "Your followers are loyal, and they came here early in the morning to worship."
He pushed back his robe, and sat down Zhengshen, who was stiffened by the action of touching his cheek. Kou Dong broke away from the statue and sat beside him, it was still like a sculpture made of wood and clay, it seemed that he had goose bumps all over his body because of the attitude of the evil god.
Hold back, hold back.
He said to himself in his heart, everything is for the happiness of NPC...
Only when he is happy can he have achievements.
He barely sat still, still guessing in his heart what kind of plot the evil god was going through.
Looking at it like this, it looks like after falling in love.
When this idea came up, Kou Dong couldn't help shaking.
The NPC was very calm, his eyes swept him up and down, and seeing Zhengshen's face remained tense and silent, there was a smile in his eyes.
"It still hurts?" He leaned over like an ordinary couple, and patted Kou Dong's waist lightly, "I'm sorry today? Huh?"
He lowered his voice.
"Yesterday when I hooked my waist in front of the believers...it wasn't like this."
Kou Dong was completely shocked.
Brother, please explain clearly, what does it mean to hook your waist in front of the believers!
Although the premise of dating has always been determined by the NPC, any NPC who wants to face will basically not make up too much. For example, the godfather just imagined a cute little godson always stepping on other people's feet when dancing.
But what the hell did the evil god make up in the previous episode of the date? ?
Kou Dong didn't want to understand, didn't want to know—just listening to this sentence didn't seem like something a good young man like him who was born in the new era and grew up under the red flag should understand.
After all, in today's Internet situation, their three good young people are only worthy of platonic love above the neck.
Kou Dong, who believed in Plato, tried to speak: "Are you sure it's me?"
—After all, I don't look like I'd wrap my legs around your waist.
The smile on the evil god's lips deepened. He stared deeply at the solemn and holy god in front of him, and asked, "Want to try again?"
Kou Dong shook his head again and again, "No more."
He still doesn't want to try this kind of thing.
He was afraid that after trying it, he would be beaten to death by the Internet reviewers.
The evil god now listens to what he says is sweet, and chuckles to himself, "Shy again."
Kou Dong: "... ???"
Brother, please be sober, what is the relationship between the word shy and me
The overlord attribute of the evil god seems to have been completely awakened, and now he looks like a little goblin who has troubled his mind, "I have already entrusted them with a dream. Soon, they will send my statue in."
Kou Dong opened his mouth, looking a little dazed, almost bald with a question mark.
Bring in the statue
Before Kou Dong could think clearly about this sentence, the evil god had already added the next sentence, "When the time comes, stand me beside you."
He slightly nodded Zhengshen's forehead.
"Just be a fairy couple in this temple, okay?"
Kou Dong: "..."
Kou Dong: "..."
Damn it, it's not good!
Don't you intend to live together? !
Just at this time, the three words "achievement point" came into Kou Dong's heart again. Half of it is morality, half is achievement points, Kou Dong repeatedly struggled between the two, finally closed his eyes, and muttered again in a low voice for self-hypnosis: "I have to coax him, I have to coax him..."
You have to make the NPC happy.
He gritted his teeth and replied blankly: "That would be the best."
The expression on this face is dry, and it is quite different from the content of the words, it can be said to run counter to it. However, the evil god didn't seem to have seen his duplicity at all, or, being able to get such an answer from the mouth of the righteous god was enough to make him happy, and he didn't even bother to care about the righteous god's expression.
His fingers lingered on Zhengshen's robe, seemingly touching that neck.
"—That's good."
Kou Dong is simply hopeless.
What's so good, he is a young man who has no love experience at all and is as pure as white paper. He actually has a day to live with an NPC in the game...
The villagers moved quite quickly.
But at noon, there was already the movement of moving outside. Twenty-four capable young men came from the next door village, carefully carrying a statue, and stuffing it into Kou Dong's temple.
"Come on, come on, slow down—"
"Carry it on the god table! Carry it!"
"Leave, let, let, don't touch the idol!"
The village head of Shanhai Village stood at the entrance of the temple, watching this scene, he was so anxious, frowning, and stomping his feet.
"This, this..." He tried to step forward to stop, "What does this look like! You are offending the gods—"
The boy who moved things didn't listen to this. The leader wiped the sweat from his brow and said, "There is nothing we can do about it."
The village chief stomped his feet.
"What do you mean there is no way!" He raised his voice tremblingly, completely unable to understand, "It's not that there is no temple in your village..."
As for having to bring the gods here and stuff them next to our gods!
Unexpectedly, the village next door is also suffering, "We do have a temple...then the gods are willing to be there."
After discovering that the god waiting for the right position in this village is actually the lone star of the evil spirit that they usually ignore, Gujia Village was already in a state of panic. They prepared sacrifices overnight, and even wanted to sacrifice a pair of boys and girls to eliminate the gods. resentment.
Fortunately, the gods did not punish them, but just passed on a dream to them.
The dream was simple. The gods sat high on the throne and said to them, "Move me to Shanhai Village, and I want to stand with the gods of Shanhai Village."
"..."
The villagers of Gujia Village were all dumbfounded after hearing the oracle.
Move him to Shanhai Village, and stand with the gods of Shanhai Village...
Why
Could it be because Shanhai Village has good Fengshui
Someone tremblingly asked: "Have you despised us?"
The god said impatiently: "Talking too much. You just need to remove me, and you don't need to ask about this matter."
All the villagers: "..."
Okay, okay.
They didn't have the guts to rebel against God's decision. Even though they were panicked, they still hurriedly removed the statue from the god's table according to the god's request, blowing gongs and drums all the way, and even made a sedan chair for the statue. , I was carried to Shanhai Village in a daze. Entering the temple now, several people looked around, still hesitating where to put it.
The god table is only that big, and now there is already an upright god sitting on it with one hand holding a flower, basically occupying more than half of it. The head of Gujia Village looked at it for a long time, and tentatively said to the head of the neighboring village: "...how about, please move your gods?"
The village head of Shanhai Village almost exploded.
What the hell is that! What's the matter, looking at this posture, is the god on the other side planning to go to the table
His beard was shaking, "You, what kind of nonsense are you talking about..."
Gujiacun is even more difficult. This matter sounds absurd and unreasonable. Since ancient times, I have never heard of gods receiving worship side by side at the same table, even if it is a husband and wife god. Moving in so forcefully is simply the way of robbers.
But there is no way, that's what the oracle said...
Several people looked at each other, and out of fear of the gods of the village, they finally insisted on it. They frightened and lit a few sticks of incense in front of the statue of the righteous god, then stood on the god's table bravely, and began to tease, leaving a place for the statue of the evil god next to it.
The head of Shanhai Village yelled loudly: "The dove occupies the magpie's nest! The dove occupies the magpie's nest!"
He threw himself in front of the statue, his heart was full of pain, and trembling, he complained to his god, "God—if you are here, have you seen it? This group of people is simply not human, they are just a group of bandits, robbers, and thieves who stole offerings." …”
Kou Dong: "..."
I saw it, I could see it clearly.
But what can he do, there is a grandpa sitting next to him...
The village head of Shanhai Village is still saying: "If the villagers come to worship in the future, how can we explain it? Our gods are clear and innocent... If it is a goddess, it is fine, but it is still a male god. Isn't this a victim of wind criticism? "
Kou Dong, who was murdered for no reason, was even more desperate than him.
The evil god sat on the throne with his face propped up, but he couldn't hide his joy. He moved his hand slightly, and moved the statue of Kou Dong to the left, so that they could get closer together.
Kou Dong felt very aggrieved, "This kind of carrying work can be done by moving your fingers."
Why does it have to be sent in such a labor-intensive manner
The evil god stretched his long legs, but it was a matter of course, "Of course they will send it."
Kou Dong thought it was another god-like temper, but the NPC's next sentence was: "Otherwise, how would they know?"
Kou Dong: "..."
So the reason why I specially asked someone to send it over is just to tell the world the fact that we live together...
very good. He really couldn't breathe.
The head of Shanhai Village spent half his life but was unable to stop it. He watched helplessly as this god statue, who did not know where it came from, settled down in the temple of his village. Looking up, the god was tall and majestic, but the aura on his body was very different from that of the righteous god beside him, and his sitting posture was not even and stable, but there was an inexplicable evil spirit on the contrary.
Compared with him, the righteous god next to him is simply a pitiful little oppressed...
The more the village chief looked at it, the more his heart ached, and he vaguely doubted whether his offerings would be able to enter the pockets of his own gods.
Wouldn't they all be eaten by this god who came out of nowhere
He shivered for a while in front of the statue, feeling that his old illness was about to flare up, and finally, with trembling hands, he also burned incense for Kou Dong.
"You can't just listen to your gods," he said to the people in Gujia Village, "you have to listen to the opinions of our gods, too?"
That's right. As a mortal, none of the gods in the Gu family village wanted to offend. They watched the village chief light incense, and nodded,
"Then ask."
The village chief still held some hope and asked, "If you disagree, will you move this statue away?"
Everyone in Gu's Village: "That won't work."
The head of Shanhai Village: "..."
Then ask a ghost!
How can there be such strong buying and strong selling!
Full of anger, he finished offering incense to Kou Dong with trembling fingers, and kowtowed respectfully in front of him three more times.
"God, if you exist, tell your followers."
"If you don't want to, please destroy this incense—"
His voice was lowered so that only the two gods could hear him.
Naturally, he didn't feel that the gods would be willing. Which god would willingly share the divine table with other gods
What's more, this is still a male god.
"The villagers of Shanhai Village will try their best to fulfill your wish."
Kou Dong does have this wish, but he has no way to say it now. The evil spirit glanced at him and asked, "Don't want to?"
"..."
"Then how can it be?" Kou Dong forced a smile, "I am willing, I am willing."
Only then was the evil god satisfied, and moved his hand towards the stick of incense a little farther away—a huge orange-red flame shot up from the incense, scaring the believers present.
The fire almost turned into a fireball, and the village head of Shanhai Village was stunned to see it.
no…
He was dumbfounded, saying that if he didn't want to, he would blow out the fire, but now the fire is burning so vigorously...
What does this mean
A thought came into his mind that even made him panic, subconsciously raised his eyelids and looked at Ming, tremblingly thinking: Could it be that the gods are quite happy with it
…
The village head felt that he had seen through a remarkable fact, his face was turning blue and white, cloudy and sunny.
Kou Dong saw his expression, the more he looked at it, the more familiar it became, and it was only later that he remembered why.
This is almost like the melon-eating people who accidentally blew on cp in modern times, and they have special emojis for watching the excitement and watching big events. Later, it gradually developed into the haste of the old father marrying his daughter, standing alone at the gate of the palace and weeping silently. The posture was obviously worried that his daughter would be bullied.
Kou Dong: "..."
very good.
He thought to himself, this time, it's really over.
It's fine if the righteous god is killed, but he still has to be charged with the crime of being obsessed with lust...
The incense was burning so vigorously that the people carrying it suddenly gained strength. The head of Shanhai Village didn't stop him either, so they logically put the two statues together.
After setting them up, everyone looked up and admired the true faces of these two gods.
The evil god is on the left, and the righteous god is on the right.
One is full of evil nature, and the other is full of kindness. It can be placed in one place, but it is also inexplicably harmonious.
Like yin and yang, day and night.
Immediately afterwards, under the gaze of everyone, a new change took place in the statue.
——They watched helplessly as the evil god raised his arm, forcibly and without refusal, pulled the hand of the righteous god next to him who seemed to be trying to dodge, and put it on his hand.
Immediately, hold it firmly.
Villager of Gujia Village: "..."
Villager of Shanhai Village: "..."
It's no wonder that this group of people in Gu's Village look so much like bandits. Emotions work from top to bottom, and there is a virtue from god to human.
The hands of the statue are firmly held in one place, and the expression of the evil god seems to be satisfied.
"From now on, worship and worship together, believers will worship together," he whispered, "How about it?"
Kou Dong: "..."
He didn't have the right to say something bad, so he had no choice but to obey his wish and nodded briefly.
He already felt dizzy about pulling away from the date. The image of the evil god in front of him was faintly blurred, and at this moment, he heard the voice of the evil god.
"I have something to tell you."
The expression of the NPC became serious and solemn.
He said softly: "Look at this village."
Kou Dong stared at the village through the eyes of the god statue, where the villagers were running on the road, plowing and washing, like an ordinary scene.
"Look at this village..."
The evil god's pupils gradually turned dark black, as thick as ink that couldn't be stirred.
He whispered: "They have escaped their Maker."
After saying this sentence, Kou Dong was startled, and vaguely realized that there was a deeper meaning in it.
The Creator he's talking about... doesn't seem to be simply referring to a god.
"Are you saying..."
Kou Dong had an absurd idea, he felt that the other party was pointing at the system.
As soon as this thought came out, Kou Dong even felt that he was going crazy. These NPCs are still under the control of the system, so how can they target the entire game system.
The evil god didn't answer those words. He just sighed softly, staring at the distant horizon.
Under the lofty and clear sky, the world shuttles back and forth.
"Have you ever heard of the Sutra?"
Kou Dong naturally heard of it. In fact, although others don't know about one of them, he has heard it in the love game.
"The one who loves the head of all diseases is like a city, and gathers people to rely on the ground to protect themselves. Why do you love the head of all diseases? As the Buddha said, the mud plow suffers, and its number is infinite, all created by love. Anyone who suffers in hell Afflictions are all caused by love and sickness. Those who kill living things are also caused by love. The same is true of non-gender, adultery, lying, and ten unvirtuous deeds. All these evils are caused by love."
——It is all out of love that creates all kinds of evil.
These words sounded like arrogance, and also seemed to be an inexplicable accusation.
He frowned, apparently not feeling that this paragraph made sense.
But when he thought about it more carefully, Kou Dong felt a sudden chill in his heart, and then sank down.
He has passed three copies.
The godfather, the devil, the mermaid, or the evil god all seem to point to something that cannot be escaped or avoided—
That is death.
The godfather or the devil tried to prevent his death; the mermaid wanted to make him reproduce, and he would live forever after transformation; the evil god tried to bring him back to life.
Different routes lead to the same goal.
Just a coincidence
A ridiculous idea suddenly popped up in his heart.
"-I am dead."
The evil god suddenly turned his head and looked at him.
Kou Dong's voice was dry and hoarse, he swallowed, "Or, I'm going to die soon.—Is that right?"
-die.
This is a perpetually inescapable problem. Kou Dong didn't know if other people would often imagine that scene like him, but for him, he did often imagine it.
Different from ordinary people, he is often the only one in his fantasy. He lay down quietly on the concrete floor, unable to see the surrounding scenes clearly, but subconsciously, Kou Dong knew that the place was empty and vast, and only a living body like him that had just died existed.
No one cries, no one grieves. It's like spilling water in the water, stretching out and kicking over a mineral water bottle—it's easy and doesn't require much thought.
Not even scary.
Instead, that feeling... just loneliness.
After losing his memory, he once saw a psychiatrist.
The psychiatrist said: "You don't have enough fear of death, which is not a good thing."
Kou Dong was still in the mood to joke with him at that time, "In this case, wouldn't I be like Zhao Zilong, full of courage?"
The psychiatrist didn't laugh.
Kou Dong finally restrained the expression on his face and frowned.
"Is this problem serious?"
"-Very serious."
The doctor told him categorically, "As far as the situation you just described to me is concerned, you hardly seem like a living person."
He adjusted his glasses and frowned, not knowing how to express it.
"Human beings' fear of death often comes from the unknown. Your mentality gives me the feeling... It's almost as if you have died once. Because you have already experienced it, so you don't care about it at all."
At that time, Kou Dong didn't believe this sentence at all, and thought that the psychiatrist had made up his mind to cheat him of money. Although he, a small anchor who made his fortune by live broadcasting love games, can't be considered rich, but every penny of it is his blood and sweat, so he can't just throw it out for nothing.
Until now, Kou Dong remembered that visit again.
It's like dying once.
Kou Dong murmured: "... Could it be that I am a cat?"
Isn't it said that cats have nine lives
There was a momentary blankness on the face of the evil god, obviously not understanding how the young man jumped to this conclusion.
Kou Dong turned his head sideways, tentatively stretched out his hand to his face, and meowed at him.
Evil God: "..."
Evil God: "..."
Even though he had known for a long time that he never played cards according to the routine, this move still completely shocked the NPC.
The most terrible thing is that even so, the evil god can still taste some cuteness from his actions.
simply.
He shook his head, the smile on his lips gradually subsided, as if he was afraid of something, he suddenly said: "Let's go."
"—don't forget."
After speaking, he let go of the hand that was holding Kou Dong. Kou Dong was quickly drawn into the darkness, and only had time to take a hasty look at the temple.
Suddenly, he remembered something and glanced at the upper right corner.
There was a blank space, only an exit button hung on the upper left, and the most common icon in Kou Dong's memory—the system icon was missing.
The dating module seems to be the only place where you can escape the system's surveillance.
For the first time, he began to think seriously about the role of the system in this game.
The attitude of the system has always been extremely strange. Kou Dong even sometimes felt that it was split.
The overall structure of the entire system, including the exchange pool and appointment settings, seems to help him pass the level.
However, the tone and attitude of the system itself even concealed the details to set a trap for him—it seemed that it didn't want him to pass the level.
Simply put, part of the system is on his side. At the same time, there is also a part that hopes to keep him in the game forever.
Why
—Why yourself
Before this, Kou Dong always thought that this was probably a deformed scumbag transformation plan. Because I was too arrogant in the love game, I conquered four NPCs in one go, and the iron boat did not capsize, so I was pulled into the game, and I passed various tests to teach myself to be dedicated in the future...
It has to be said that this logic is actually in line with the core socialist values.
But thinking about it now, it doesn't seem to be exactly like this.
as well as-
He turned his gaze to Ye Yanzhi who was eagerly asking about his situation. The villain struggled to move his face up and down, trying to see some clues from the young man's expression, knowing what the evil god did with the young man during the date,
Kou Dong let him watch, but he couldn't help thinking in his heart:
What kind of role did his cub play in this
The author has something to say:
Villager of Shanhai Village (crying bitterly): This is a hooligan! ! !
Kou Dong: Feng Critic was murdered...
