Chapter 65: Tampering with God’s words, stealing God’s majesty, and robbing God’s believers
In the “Integrity First” live broadcast room:
[…Awesome, really awesome.]
[I’m in a daze. Am I really watching Nightmare live? This is obviously missionary work!]
[Aaaaaahhhhhhh dãmŋ, this evil priest is too good, I really got bewitched!!!]
[Woo-hoo, sure! Why not! I’m going to join this cult too. Father, you baptized me personally. I’ve already taken off my clothes!]
[??? I just came from the red side next door. What’s going on? What’s with the situation here?]
[I just came in too… I can’t understand anything at all. Why are the red side anchors not dead, but the number of red anchors displayed in the list has decreased? Have they been transferred to the black side? But that’s not right, the number of people on the black side is still 1? Aaaahhhhhhh, can someone explain this to me!]
[Actually, to put it simply, this dog liar is too fűcƙing good at playing with the rules.]
[The anchor of this faction battle is obviously unable to switch factions. Although the dog liar is now the sect’s leader, only ghosts can become believers in his sect, and there is no way to pull a living person. I remember he experienced a chase battle in the “Decai Middle School” instance. So in all these events, he used his monsters to reduce the san value of the red anchor to the critical point, so that the attributes of the anchors are more biased toward monsters in the system’s judgment than human beings. Then under these extreme conditions, he did his missionary work and let the other party become his believer.]
[Yes, and because the san value is so low that the anchor is about to lose the ability to think normally, the success rate of missionary work is basically 100%!]
[Fūçk…so that’s how it is, I’m also dumbfounded.]
[Wait, but in this case, aren’t those anchors almost alienated? It’s no different from being killed directly, right?]
[You guys still didn’t understand, this liar is even calculated to this point!]
[???What do you mean?]
[Have you forgotten? This is a chase battle!]
[!!!Dãmn! That’s right!]
[Although the san value has been reduced to 1%, as long as it does not become zero, the anchor cannot be completely alienated…]
[Yes, so even if the anchor’s san value is now biased towards monsters, as long as the time limit for the chase battle ends and the anchor has not been judged dead, it will be considered a victory! Dąmn!]
[Yes, this is incomparable to the dog liar’s ghost mother state in the previous instance. The calculation of this san value is only valid in the chase battle.]
[Then, after the chase battle was over, although the anchors were still alive, their belief faction changed. Not only can they not be counted as the anchors of the red side, but because of their living state, they also can also not be considered as the anchor of the black side…so the number of red team members has decreased, and the number of black players has remained at 1.]
[Oh my goodness! I’m shocked! Mom asked me why I was kneeling while watching the live broadcast!]
[In the matter of finding bugs, if this liar is the second, no one dares to be the first!]
[Is this an idea that normal humans can come up with?! Is this?!]
[My god… how come there are still people playing like this? I have gained a lot of knowledge. I guess even the instance didn’t expect someone to do it like this!]
[The anchor’s ability to take advantage of the loopholes is a dąmn perfection!!!!]
[Aaahhhhhh, sweet. Woo-hoo, afterward whenever this live broadcast room will be on-air, I’ll watch it at once.]
In just ten minutes, the number of online viewers of the “Integrity First” live broadcast room soared to a new high, directly breaking through the 100,000 mark!
【Ding! The number of people online in the live broadcast room exceeded 100,000!】
【Congratulations to the anchor for achieving the achievement: I am the most beautiful boy in this instance!
Your live broadcast room has attracted nearly 53% of the online viewers in the entire instance, and the ratings are skyrocketing! It has become the hottest live broadcast room in this instance!】
【Congratulations to the anchor for achieving the achievement: Rating upstart!
Wow, your live broadcast room is shining under your management, and more and more viewers are attracted by your charm!
Please continue to burn your life, move forward bravely, and create a higher-quality live broadcast experience for the audience!】
The wall slowly changed from the greasy and bloody texture back to ordinary, cold masonry.
The countdown to the chase finally reached zero.
Chen Mo felt that his mind was returning to normal little by little. The strong sense of fear and bizarre and terrifying hallucinations disappeared from his eyes little by little. All the extreme changes made him dizzy and nauseated.
What happened?
His memories of just now were shrouded in a distorted, bloody filter, and the remaining images in his mind were all weird and cold. The only thing that was clear was a distant voice.
The voice was gentle and bewitching, but it made him feel inexplicable fear, and a strong sense of trembling spread from the depths of his soul.
Chen Mo raised his head abruptly and looked toward the open space in front of him in astonishment.
However, the vague holy figure he saw just now had disappeared.
What’s going on?
Could it be… Did all of that exist only in his imagination?
Chen Mo was in a daze.
At this moment, the sound of approaching footsteps came from the corridor outside, and Chen Mo immediately became vigilant, but he did not forget the so-called “self-help chance”, which was obtained by letting the three anchors who were dragged here kill each other.
Could it be that the other anchors have also passed the chase and are ready to attack him?
Before Chen Mo had time to get vigilant, a head poked in from the doorway.
“……”
Chen Mo was taken aback.
He had no impression of this face at all; it wasn’t any of the other two anchors.
The next second, that head shrank back and shouted toward the corridor behind: “The newcomer is here!”
“???”
Chen Mo’s expression became even more bewildered.
What newcomer?
What is the other party talking about?
A new sound of footsteps gradually approached in this direction, and soon, a figure appeared at the door.
The person who came this time was very familiar to Chen Mo.
He slightly widened his eyes: “Why is it you?”
Su Cheng was also taken aback.
Oh, an old acquaintance.
Ji Guan seemed completely unaware of the delicate atmosphere between the two of them. He ran in happily: “You must be very confused now, right? Don’t you understand what happened at all? It doesn’t matter, the two of us are here to answer all your questions.”
He pretended to be deep and said:
“After joining the sect, everyone is a family.”
Chen Mo: “?????”
Su Cheng: “……”
You can shut up.
He turned his head to look at Chen Mo, cleared his throat, and then briefly explained everything: “In short, it is probably like this. Although you are not dead yet, you are already a member of our sect, so you are automatically separated from the red faction.”
“……”
Chen Mo raised his hand to press his aching temple. The side effect of the previous san value being almost zero seemed to have not disappeared, which made his mind a little confused: “Wait? What sect?”
Ji Guan: “We haven’t named it yet, but I hope it will be a little eye-catching. The leader’s naming skills are really hard to complement. If you have any good ideas, you can tell them…”
“……”
Su Cheng spoke slowly, with no expression on his face, interrupting Ji Guan’s eloquence: “I think that’s not what he asked.”
It was a shortened question of “what type of sect?”.
Ji Guan: “…Oh.”
After a short period of confusion, Chen Mo’s mind gradually became clear, and he gradually understood what the other party just said.
He was startled, took out his mobile phone from his pocket, and opened the app to take a look.
At some point, the red and black faction logos in the background had disappeared, leaving only a blank space like a system failure.
…It turned out to be true.
“Although this is the credit of the leader, believe me, we have also made a great sacrifice for this.”
Ji Guan pointed at Su Cheng and himself with a sad expression.
“……”
As if thinking of some unbearable memory, Su Cheng’s expression twisted, and his face turned slightly green.
A piece of “?” floated across the barrage
[? What’s wrong? Did I miss something?]
[What happened? Why do these two seem to have a deep psychological shadow?]
[Hahahahahahahahaha, the few people upstairs can watch the replay after the instance is over, it’s really interesting!]
[???]
[In short, although the dog liar thought of the method of bug, he is not sure whether this method is effective; secondly, he is not sure how much the san value can be considered as the alienation threshold recognized by the instance; and thirdly, he does not know how to maintain health when the san value decreases crazily…
So these two unlucky guys were the first to bear the brunt of the experiment.]
[Hahahahahaha, yes, and only when those monsters are serious, the system will judge that the chase has started, so the two of them were chased for eighteen corridors!]
[Hahahahahahahahahaha, yes, and at the beginning, the dog liar was not sure which monster would be the best to use, so he let both kinds of monsters chase together…]
[Hahahahahahahahahaha, If I were them, I would have a psychological shadow too!]
Chen Mo stared at the display on the phone screen, feeling a little overwhelmed for a moment.
Wait a minute……
So, in this faction battle, he doesn’t belong to any faction anymore?
This was something he had never seen before, even after experiencing so many live broadcasts and so many instances.
However, such an outrageous scene actually happened in front of him.
This left Chen Mo at a loss for what to do for a while.
“Of course, although you have been baptized, as long as you’re still a human being, you are a free person in theory.” Su Cheng thought of something and added:
“So, it’s up to you to do what you want to do next. My suggestion is to buy enough points to wait until the instance is over. Of course, it’s okay if you want to leave the mirror, but you have to let the leader know.”
Chen Mo lowered his eyes and pondered for a while, then raised his head:
“Where is your leader?”
***
“What do you mean? What failure?”
Wang Hanyu frowned, pressed his palms firmly on the table, moved his face close to Granny Wen, and asked in disbelief.
Obviously, the number of people in the red faction had decreased, and the number of black faction anchors had not increased. So the refining of the soul-locking altar should have been completed!
What’s going on?!
Granny Wen lowered her head. The wrinkled and loose skin on her face was trembling slightly, and her cloudy eyes were staring at the black pottery jar in front of her, seemingly also confused.
Finally, after a short period of contemplation, she slowly raised her head and said:
“There is indeed a possibility of error in the refining of the soul-locking altar.”
Just like in the previous 1304, she didn’t succeed in refining the soul-locking altar. As for how she made a mistake this time… Granny Wen also couldn’t tell.
After all, she couldn’t create a mirror world but could only create a passage with the help of a mirror. As for what happened inside and whether the altar could be successfully refined, it depends on good luck.
Despite the fact that mistakes were possible, she had no idea why she had failed…
Granny Wen always had an ominous premonition.
She raised her head slowly, glanced at the crowd in front of her with her thick white eyeballs, and said, “In this case, I still need three more sacrifices.”
“What?! Three more?!”
At this moment, another anchor stepped forward: “But didn’t you just say that as long as we hand over three people, we can refine the tenth soul-locking altar? How can you go back on your word now—”
Before he finished speaking, his pupils shrank suddenly.
A pair of pale paper palms stretched out from behind him, tightly gripping the anchor’s ankles and dragging him back!
Before the anchor even had time to scream, he was dragged into the depths of the mirror that appeared behind him at some unknown time.
“……”
In an instant, the whole room fell into dead silence.
The faces of all the anchors were very ugly, half vigilant and half fearful, staring at the old woman, whose one foot was already in the grave, not far away.
Granny Wen raised her eyes tremblingly and said slowly:
“Have you forgotten? This room of mine is located at the junction of reality and illusion. Anyone who wants to see me can enter it. If you don’t want to write names, someone will naturally be willing.”
In an old, non-threatening tone, she slowly spoke the extremely terrifying words:
“It depends on whether you are willing to take a gamble.”
Gamble on whether your teammates will betray you.
In the red faction’s live broadcast room:
[Oh my god, I finally know why people can ask for help from outside. It’s so the anchors who are acquainted can backstab each other.]
[This is simply a test of human nature…]
[And the red side probably doesn’t know what the black side is doing right now. I’m so excited when I think that the teammates who were backstabbed by them can come out to confront them again.]
[Ahhh, this is going to be exciting!]
In the narrow room, the anchors all looked at each other and saw the same solemn look in each other’s eyes.
They realize that they have actually opened Pandora’s box now, whether it was to win or to protect themselves, and there is no possibility of turning back.
They could only gamble.
Gamble that the next altar could be successfully refined.
***
The ground shook slightly, and there were strange whispers and a wriggling sound not far away.
Chen Mo stopped his steps subconsciously and looked in the direction of the sound in surprise.
“Don’t worry.”
Ji Guan came up from behind him and patted him on the shoulder comfortingly: “This shows that we are about to have a new partner soon.”
Chen Mo: “……”
Oh.
Su Cheng: “Let’s go, you should be able to find the leader by following the sound.”
Although it’s weird to call that dog liar the leader, calling it so many times…he unexpectedly became quite smooth.
Several people walked toward the direction where the sound came from.
Under the dark red light, the walls and the ground all had a weird, soft texture. The further they went, the stronger the smell of blood, and the more serious the aberration of the walls became.
The scarlet and greasy flesh wall was beating, as if it were some kind of living thing, giving people an indecipherable sense of fear. Chen Mo was reminded of some bad memories by this familiar texture, and although his expression didn’t change much, his face turned slightly pale involuntarily.
Soon, an open door appeared not far away.
A young man’s low voice came; the tone was extremely gentle and clear, but there seemed to be some invisible power hidden in the depths of his voice, which made Chen Mo’s heart tremble, and he stopped his steps slightly uncontrollably.
“It’s just ahead.” Su Cheng and Ji Guan stopped in their tracks: “You go.”
Chen Mo nodded and walked forward.
He hadn’t taken a few steps when he heard Ji Guan’s voice coming from behind: “Hey, I’ll leave the newcomer to you this time; don’t forget to tell him about the current situation, just like the two of us just now.”
“……”
Chen Mo’s steps couldn’t help but pause involuntarily.
To be suddenly regarded as a senior member of this sect is really… very undiscribable.
He took a deep breath, calmed his mind, and then walked toward the room where the sound was coming from.
As the distance shortened, thinking that the so-called cult leader was not far away, Chen Mo became uncontrollably nervous.
Soon, after turning a corner, the back of a young man came into view.
He was squatting halfway in front of a dazed anchor and seemed to be saying something.
Only fragments of clothes remained on the young man’s body. Under the dark red light, the undulating shoulder blades appeared clear and graceful, and with the movements, they rolled under the fair skin. The dark spell lines covered half of his back, outlining his thin and tight waist, and they were even faintly extended downwards, engulfed by the sunken shadow at the edge of the trousers.
The anchor in front of him looked sluggish, with a dull and obsessed expression. This obsession had nothing to do with love; it was as if he was captivated by some more mysterious and higher existence.
The young man bent down, dipped his fingers into the scarlet liquid seeping from the wall, and gently touched the other person’s forehead and cheek.
His movements were gentle and loving, followed by a sizzling corrosion sound.
The entire process appeared to be extremely evil and strange, but there was an indescribable and terrifying attraction, drawing people’s eyes like gravity and making them uncontrollably focus on the scene in front of them.
This should be the “baptism” mentioned by the two anchors just now.
In the depths of Chen Mo’s chaotic mind, because of the decrease in san value, fragments of memory appeared. He subconsciously raised his hand and touched the same place on his face.
A slight tingling reminded him that he had also undergone the same ritual.
Chen Mo shivered involuntarily.
Soon, the young man stood up and turned to look in his direction.
Under the dim light, the outline of the young man’s face was clearly visible, and a pair of familiar amber eyes were slightly squinted, looking strangely careless.
“……you?”
Chen Mo was taken aback and recognized that the young man in front of him was actually the “NPC” who claimed to be a resident of 1304:
“You are not–”
Wen Jianyan blinked: “Huh?”
He carefully looked at the anchor in front of him for a few seconds, then an expression of sudden realization appeared on his face: “Oh, the identity of that NPC, I made it up to deceive you.”
Chen Mo: “……”
The other party’s attitude of admitting that he lied was too natural, and he didn’t feel ashamed after being exposed at all, which left him speechless.
“Uh aaahhhhh—”
The time limit for the chase battle of the anchor not far away was obviously not over yet. The low san value made him look distorted and panicked. He sat in the same place and couldn’t move. No one knew what hallucination he saw, and he let out intermittent screams.
“Come on, let’s go out and talk.”
Wen Jianyan took the lead and walked out of the room.
Chen Mo stood there, staring at the anchor for a few seconds before turning around and keeping up with Wen Jianyan’s pace.
“Why are you doing this?”
Chen Mo asked straight to the point: “Why did you save us?”
He was really puzzled by this.
Even though Chen Mo hasn’t fully figured out the production method of the soul-locking altar, as long as he simply associated the speech made by Granny Wen just now, he could draw a conclusion—those anchors that were thrown in and this situation were all pointing toward an ominous possibility.
However, this move of the black anchor not only freed them from danger but also gave them an extremely generous gift:
Freedom.
These anchors would not be bound by the rules of the faction battle. No matter who won the battle between the red and black sides, they will not be implicated or become victims in this instance.
“First of all, the most direct reason is that my two friends were assigned to the red side.”
Wen Jianyan pondered for a while, then said lightly:
“However, after releasing them from the shackles of faction battle, I really didn’t need to release you in the same way. After all, this method is really troublesome.”
Chen Mo stared at the other party silently, waiting for his next words.
“The most important reason why I do this is that I don’t want to win.”
Under the dark red light, the young man smiled lightly, and the depths of his amber eyes were shimmering, making him appear extraordinarily elusive.
If Wen Jianyan really wanted to win, after freeing Su Cheng and Ji Guan, the first thing he would do was to find the anchor of the red side and snatch the soul-locking altar from them.
After all, this was the only way to win this faction battle—
Break the soul-locking altar and liberate the evil spirit.
However, Wen Jianyan did not want to liberate the evil spirit.
Chen Mo was stunned: “…why?”
The young man narrowed his eyes, with a smile on his lips: “Think about it; if the true God of a sect descends, how would I be needed?”
He rubbed his knuckles lightly and said unhurriedly:
“If you can’t tamper with God’s words, steal God’s majesty, and rob God’s believers, otherwise, what’s the point of being the leader of this cult?”
In the “Integrity First” live broadcast room:
[Good guy, this wave ah, this is rebellion!]
[‘m laughing to death, it’s unlucky to be this guy’s god!]
[Bah! What this dog liar said is high-sounding, but he really doesn’t want to see that evil spirit he has offended 800 times!]
[Who just watched the heart-stabbing replay of the last instance? I was right.]
[It was really cold-hearted hahahahaha, it’s refreshing to watch it again!]
Wen Jianyan looked at Chen Mo, who was shocked by what he said just now, and changed the subject lightly: “Speaking of which, why were you looking for me?”
Chen Mo took a deep breath: “I want to go back outside.”
“Have you decided?”
Wen Jianyan showed a thoughtful expression: “If you let me, I would suggest you stay here. Granny Wen can’t directly influence here. Now that you are out of the red faction, you can exchange points up until the end of the instance.”
Chen Mo pursed his lips, lowered his eyes, and replied in a cold voice: “I still have some things to settle with a person.”
He looked at Wen Jianyan firmly:
“Does it cost me anything to go back? I can—”
“No need.” Wen Jianyan shook his head
“…No need?” Chen Mo was stunned.
The other party’s reply completely exceeded his expectations.
Wen Jianyan took out a Bagua mirror from his pocket, and a monster’s pale arms protruded from the mirror, climbing up his chest.
“You are my congregation, aren’t you?”
Since he was not going to complete the main task, he had to make sure that the main task on the other side couldn’t be completed either. Since Granny Wen was behind the scenes, pulling the string of the puppets and manipulating the red anchors to work for her, then, as the opposite force, Wen Jianyan needed to find a way to balance the opponent.
Humankind’s most basic and primitive emotion
Revenge.
The black team’s puppet master leaned slightly, his amber eyes shining sweetly under the eyelashes:
“It has been an honor to serve you.”
The author has something to say:
Dog Liar: Come on, let’s play dirty together! Let’s see who can beat who!
In the “Integrity First” live broadcast room:
[…Awesome, really awesome.]
[I’m in a daze. Am I really watching Nightmare live? This is obviously missionary work!]

[Aaahhhhhh, sweet. Woo-hoo, afterward whenever this live broadcast room will be on-air, I’ll watch it at once.]

Obviously, the number of people in the red faction had decreased, and the number of black faction anchors had not increased. So the refining of the soul-locking altar should have been completed!
What’s going on?!
Granny Wen lowered her head. The wrinkled and loose skin on her face was trembling slightly, and her cloudy eyes were staring at the black pottery jar in front of her, seemingly also confused.
Finally, after a short period of contemplation, she slowly raised her head and said:
“There is indeed a possibility of error in the refining of the soul-locking altar.”
Just like in the previous 1304, she didn’t succeed in refining the soul-locking altar. As for how she made a mistake this time… Granny Wen also couldn’t tell.
After all, she couldn’t create a mirror world but could only create a passage with the help of a mirror. As for what happened inside and whether the altar could be successfully refined, it depends on good luck.
Despite the fact that mistakes were possible, she had no idea why she had failed…
Granny Wen always had an ominous premonition.
She raised her head slowly, glanced at the crowd in front of her with her thick white eyeballs, and said, “In this case, I still need three more sacrifices.”
“What?! Three more?!”
At this moment, another anchor stepped forward: “But didn’t you just say that as long as we hand over three people, we can refine the tenth soul-locking altar? How can you go back on your word now—”
Before he finished speaking, his pupils shrank suddenly.
A pair of pale paper palms stretched out from behind him, tightly gripping the anchor’s ankles and dragging him back!
Before the anchor even had time to scream, he was dragged into the depths of the mirror that appeared behind him at some unknown time.
“……”
In an instant, the whole room fell into dead silence.
The faces of all the anchors were very ugly, half vigilant and half fearful, staring at the old woman, whose one foot was already in the grave, not far away.
Granny Wen raised her eyes tremblingly and said slowly:
“Have you forgotten? This room of mine is located at the junction of reality and illusion. Anyone who wants to see me can enter it. If you don’t want to write names, someone will naturally be willing.”
In an old, non-threatening tone, she slowly spoke the extremely terrifying words:
“It depends on whether you are willing to take a gamble.”
Gamble on whether your teammates will betray you.
In the red faction’s live broadcast room:
[Oh my god, I finally know why people can ask for help from outside. It’s so the anchors who are acquainted can backstab each other.]
[This is simply a test of human nature…]
[And the red side probably doesn’t know what the black side is doing right now. I’m so excited when I think that the teammates who were backstabbed by them can come out to confront them again.]
[Ahhh, this is going to be exciting!]
In the narrow room, the anchors all looked at each other and saw the same solemn look in each other’s eyes.
They realize that they have actually opened Pandora’s box now, whether it was to win or to protect themselves, and there is no possibility of turning back.
They could only gamble.
Gamble that the next altar could be successfully refined.
***
The ground shook slightly, and there were strange whispers and a wriggling sound not far away.
Chen Mo stopped his steps subconsciously and looked in the direction of the sound in surprise.
“Don’t worry.”
Ji Guan came up from behind him and patted him on the shoulder comfortingly: “This shows that we are about to have a new partner soon.”
Chen Mo: “……”
Oh.
Su Cheng: “Let’s go, you should be able to find the leader by following the sound.”
Although it’s weird to call that dog liar the leader, calling it so many times…he unexpectedly became quite smooth.
Several people walked toward the direction where the sound came from.
Under the dark red light, the walls and the ground all had a weird, soft texture. The further they went, the stronger the smell of blood, and the more serious the aberration of the walls became.
The scarlet and greasy flesh wall was beating, as if it were some kind of living thing, giving people an indecipherable sense of fear. Chen Mo was reminded of some bad memories by this familiar texture, and although his expression didn’t change much, his face turned slightly pale involuntarily.
Soon, an open door appeared not far away.
A young man’s low voice came; the tone was extremely gentle and clear, but there seemed to be some invisible power hidden in the depths of his voice, which made Chen Mo’s heart tremble, and he stopped his steps slightly uncontrollably.
“It’s just ahead.” Su Cheng and Ji Guan stopped in their tracks: “You go.”
Chen Mo nodded and walked forward.
He hadn’t taken a few steps when he heard Ji Guan’s voice coming from behind: “Hey, I’ll leave the newcomer to you this time; don’t forget to tell him about the current situation, just like the two of us just now.”
“……”
Chen Mo’s steps couldn’t help but pause involuntarily.
To be suddenly regarded as a senior member of this sect is really… very undiscribable.
He took a deep breath, calmed his mind, and then walked toward the room where the sound was coming from.
As the distance shortened, thinking that the so-called cult leader was not far away, Chen Mo became uncontrollably nervous.
Soon, after turning a corner, the back of a young man came into view.
He was squatting halfway in front of a dazed anchor and seemed to be saying something.
Only fragments of clothes remained on the young man’s body. Under the dark red light, the undulating shoulder blades appeared clear and graceful, and with the movements, they rolled under the fair skin. The dark spell lines covered half of his back, outlining his thin and tight waist, and they were even faintly extended downwards, engulfed by the sunken shadow at the edge of the trousers.
The anchor in front of him looked sluggish, with a dull and obsessed expression. This obsession had nothing to do with love; it was as if he was captivated by some more mysterious and higher existence.
The young man bent down, dipped his fingers into the scarlet liquid seeping from the wall, and gently touched the other person’s forehead and cheek.
His movements were gentle and loving, followed by a sizzling corrosion sound.
The entire process appeared to be extremely evil and strange, but there was an indescribable and terrifying attraction, drawing people’s eyes like gravity and making them uncontrollably focus on the scene in front of them.
This should be the “baptism” mentioned by the two anchors just now.
In the depths of Chen Mo’s chaotic mind, because of the decrease in san value, fragments of memory appeared. He subconsciously raised his hand and touched the same place on his face.
A slight tingling reminded him that he had also undergone the same ritual.
Chen Mo shivered involuntarily.
Soon, the young man stood up and turned to look in his direction.
Under the dim light, the outline of the young man’s face was clearly visible, and a pair of familiar amber eyes were slightly squinted, looking strangely careless.
“……you?”
Chen Mo was taken aback and recognized that the young man in front of him was actually the “NPC” who claimed to be a resident of 1304:
“You are not–”
Wen Jianyan blinked: “Huh?”
He carefully looked at the anchor in front of him for a few seconds, then an expression of sudden realization appeared on his face: “Oh, the identity of that NPC, I made it up to deceive you.”
Chen Mo: “……”
The other party’s attitude of admitting that he lied was too natural, and he didn’t feel ashamed after being exposed at all, which left him speechless.
“Uh aaahhhhh—”
The time limit for the chase battle of the anchor not far away was obviously not over yet. The low san value made him look distorted and panicked. He sat in the same place and couldn’t move. No one knew what hallucination he saw, and he let out intermittent screams.
“Come on, let’s go out and talk.”
Wen Jianyan took the lead and walked out of the room.
Chen Mo stood there, staring at the anchor for a few seconds before turning around and keeping up with Wen Jianyan’s pace.
“Why are you doing this?”
Chen Mo asked straight to the point: “Why did you save us?”
He was really puzzled by this.
Even though Chen Mo hasn’t fully figured out the production method of the soul-locking altar, as long as he simply associated the speech made by Granny Wen just now, he could draw a conclusion—those anchors that were thrown in and this situation were all pointing toward an ominous possibility.
However, this move of the black anchor not only freed them from danger but also gave them an extremely generous gift:
Freedom.
These anchors would not be bound by the rules of the faction battle. No matter who won the battle between the red and black sides, they will not be implicated or become victims in this instance.
“First of all, the most direct reason is that my two friends were assigned to the red side.”
Wen Jianyan pondered for a while, then said lightly:
“However, after releasing them from the shackles of faction battle, I really didn’t need to release you in the same way. After all, this method is really troublesome.”
Chen Mo stared at the other party silently, waiting for his next words.
“The most important reason why I do this is that I don’t want to win.”
Under the dark red light, the young man smiled lightly, and the depths of his amber eyes were shimmering, making him appear extraordinarily elusive.
If Wen Jianyan really wanted to win, after freeing Su Cheng and Ji Guan, the first thing he would do was to find the anchor of the red side and snatch the soul-locking altar from them.
After all, this was the only way to win this faction battle—
Break the soul-locking altar and liberate the evil spirit.
However, Wen Jianyan did not want to liberate the evil spirit.
Chen Mo was stunned: “…why?”
The young man narrowed his eyes, with a smile on his lips: “Think about it; if the true God of a sect descends, how would I be needed?”
He rubbed his knuckles lightly and said unhurriedly:
“If you can’t tamper with God’s words, steal God’s majesty, and rob God’s believers, otherwise, what’s the point of being the leader of this cult?”
In the “Integrity First” live broadcast room:
[Good guy, this wave ah, this is rebellion!]
[‘m laughing to death, it’s unlucky to be this guy’s god!]
[Bah! What this dog liar said is high-sounding, but he really doesn’t want to see that evil spirit he has offended 800 times!]
[Who just watched the heart-stabbing replay of the last instance? I was right.]
[It was really cold-hearted hahahahaha, it’s refreshing to watch it again!]
Wen Jianyan looked at Chen Mo, who was shocked by what he said just now, and changed the subject lightly: “Speaking of which, why were you looking for me?”
Chen Mo took a deep breath: “I want to go back outside.”
“Have you decided?”
Wen Jianyan showed a thoughtful expression: “If you let me, I would suggest you stay here. Granny Wen can’t directly influence here. Now that you are out of the red faction, you can exchange points up until the end of the instance.”
Chen Mo pursed his lips, lowered his eyes, and replied in a cold voice: “I still have some things to settle with a person.”
He looked at Wen Jianyan firmly:
“Does it cost me anything to go back? I can—”
“No need.” Wen Jianyan shook his head
“…No need?” Chen Mo was stunned.
The other party’s reply completely exceeded his expectations.
Wen Jianyan took out a Bagua mirror from his pocket, and a monster’s pale arms protruded from the mirror, climbing up his chest.
“You are my congregation, aren’t you?”
Since he was not going to complete the main task, he had to make sure that the main task on the other side couldn’t be completed either. Since Granny Wen was behind the scenes, pulling the string of the puppets and manipulating the red anchors to work for her, then, as the opposite force, Wen Jianyan needed to find a way to balance the opponent.
Humankind’s most basic and primitive emotion
Revenge.
The black team’s puppet master leaned slightly, his amber eyes shining sweetly under the eyelashes:
“It has been an honor to serve you.”
The author has something to say:
Dog Liar: Come on, let’s play dirty together! Let’s see who can beat who!
