Chapter 24: The Beginning of Contradictions
The year 995 of the imperial calendar
February 25 at 11:55 p.m.
At this time, Shadow sat helplessly next to the stealth chamber and waited to enter the game. At this time, there were already crowds of people around, and from time to time people were looking for empty warehouses.
Hours had passed since he had been signed to the "Funeral Pact" of that damn uncle.
Lai Bed does not exist in the hospital, in Fei's original words: "You kid is healthier than Lao Tzu now, so hurry up and get out of the way to make money and pay off debts, my little second brother will be crying every ten-thousandth of a second you stay in this bloodsucking place!" Damn..."
So from today onwards, he will officially become a "dark web" employee of Fei.
To put it in layman's terms, it is to change from a casual worker to a long-term worker.
As for benefits.
"Where's my salary?"
"You owe me five million"
"What about welfare?"
"You owe me five million"
Hawkers, it's probably this kind of situation that makes the shadow disciples feel helpless. Of course, this is just Fei's rhetoric, and in the eyes of the film, Fei's sloppy uncle is still very good.
And the mentor of the ghost, Nolan. I don't know where I'm going, but I seem to have been chatting with Uncle Fei for a long time before leaving...
At this time, Ying was in a daze in the public area: "There are still two color light clusters in the spiritual world that I haven't detected, so I'm really a little curious." At this time, Ying was muttering to himself, when he was about to continue watching after reading the spiritual department, he had to quit 'Vipassana' because of lack of energy, and then he was kicked out to "work" in the virtual stealth center.
And Fei and Nolan also think that his situation has been "figured out", and they are happy to be silent about this 'little misunderstanding'. Be prepared to try it again when you have time.
Doodoo ······ Doodoo ······
The sound of chiming resounded throughout the center of the stealth.
Ying looked at the bracelet and knew that the time was up, so he lay down directly into the stealth compartment, and almost at the same time, the entire hall in the area instantly fell silent.
Speaking of which, the official temper of this "Century" game is also big, and the game time is from twelve noon to six p.m. every day from Monday to Saturday, and the rest of the time is inaccessible, and it is maintained on Sunday. But this can't stand the high reputation after the first day of the game, even if some people oppose it, they quickly shout the next day It's fun...
The scale of the game is six hours in the real world and three days in the game.
12:00 min
【Confirm stealth】
"Yes"
【Entering, please wait...】
................ The dividing line of time backtracking................
Turn back the clock slightly.
4:03 p.m. Imperial Federal Time on the 24th.
In the early morning of the third day of the game, he got up from a simple bed, and at this time he was dressed in plain clothes, silently changed into a formal priest's robe, and sighed in his heart:
"I didn't expect to be able to sleep in the game...... It doesn't seem to be a "game" in the true sense of the word. Shadow silently exclaimed in his heart: "Berial, what you said yesterday only needs to be next to her, right, will it be discovered by other angels?" ”
"No, master, there won't be a full projection of angels even here." Berial responded respectfully.
"Okay." Shadow replied and pushed open the door, ready to go to a place to solve a possible potential hidden danger.
At this time, the Church of Light is still crowded, and there is still an endless stream of players who go here to obtain the title of priest.
Viviel was a pastor of the Church of Light, and when it was finally her turn to take a break, she left the bootstrap, and she temporarily left the place where the whole church group had been lively since the beginning of the past two days.
Walking through the secret passageway, the secret door was pushed open, and Viviel squinted her eyes slightly to relieve the slight discomfort caused by the early morning sun, this was the living quarters of the priests of St. Peter's Basilica, and the "priests" who came to select the title were not allowed to enter without the approval and acceptance of the bishop.
She found a place to sit down and breathed a sigh of relief: "There are so many people, why are there so many people suddenly going to the land of the first heart?" She was a little distressed and annoyed: "The way they talk is so strange, and they have a big temper." No, Viviel, you can't be angry, they're members of the future evangelism just like us. Vivier quickly repented and prayed in her heart. Obviously, the girl still maintained a look of awe and piety for the light.
At this time, a teenager walked up to Vivier's side and said a little embarrassed:
"You.. Hello" At this time, the shadow stood around his head and stood in a priest's uniform to say hello, a little shyly.
Vivier looked back, tilted her head and thought for a while, and sighed: "Ah, are you the person from the day before yesterday~?" ”
"Yes, hello, my name is Silver" Ying said hello, and his not very handsome but slightly delicate face was a little embarrassed: "I have never known how to pray rituals, and I don't know many people here... I.. I thought of you," Shadow said with a stammer.
"Hello, my name is Vivier" and then Viviel was stunned: "It's strange that your shepherd didn't tell you how to pray rituals?" Vivier was a little puzzled, but without waiting for the shadow to explain, she immediately added: "It seems that the past two days have been too busy, even the shepherds are like this, you come with me, I will teach you the basic prayer rituals~" Vivier smiled cutely: "Ah, I forgot to congratulate you, welcome to St. Peter's Basilica." ”
The two chatted while walking, and Ying casually asked, "Isn't everyone able to join?" ”
Vivier's inquiry to Silver was her own 'addition' before she was surprised: "Of course not, we are just a place of professional titles, when people officially become priests, they need to find their own churches to accommodate them or be wandering priests until they become shepherds before they are qualified to build a church by themselves~" She wrinkled her nose cutely and was a little angry: "Silver, you don't know, there have been a lot of probationary priests who have been officially promoted recently, they are wearing strange clothes, But it's much worse than silver, and you look so arrogant that you don't seem to treat me as a human being! My good sisters all cried yesterday... Yikes! I'm angry again! Vivier hurriedly turned around and closed her mouth, unaware of the confession in her heart.
The look of the shadow on the side remained unchanged, but the gaze that looked at Vivier had a deeper meaning: "Sure enough, the 'people' here are not different from other games, they all have distinct 'self' and 'emotion' from the small people in the market to the archbishop. Shadow thought about it for a moment, he realized that something was wrong when he was recognized as a saint, unlike others, the bishops' attitude towards him was more intimate with those priests who were also "players", as if the "players" were outsiders, which was something that could not happen in the game, but it happened.
And Ei's keen intuition makes him choose to temporarily hide the identity of a more "appropriate" person in this world. And Berial's recovery also requires the power of faith, and many considerations have allowed Shadow to make this decision.
And in this case, Shadow has one of the biggest loopholes! It was the young female pastor who had received him in the first place.
After thinking about the infeasible way of "killing people and killing people", Berial proposed that when the two of them prayed and prayed, he could use faith as a bridge to tamper with Vivier's memory, changing Shadow's "clothing" and impression at that time to Shadow as a "person" in this world.
The two of them walked to the prayer room thoughtfully, and Vivier whispered a little reverently at this time: "Silver, you come with me, follow me to ......"
