The Blasphemous Wizard of the Weird World

Chapter 7: Fire Stealing Village

Yang Qizhou glanced out the window. It was dark at night and the streets were deserted.

The census was conducted at midnight.

It's just a trick to fool people.

There is no use in panicking, let's take a look at the situation first. Yang Qizhou took a deep breath, came to the door, and looked outside through the peephole.

What came into view was a man in a blue plaid suit. There was a shallow scar on his left cheek that was particularly conspicuous. He was wearing a white hat on his head, carrying a backpack, and holding a document book in his hand. He seemed to be a community census worker.

Bang, bang, bang.

"Sir, please open the door and cooperate with our work."

The knocking on the door became more urgent, and there was no movement from inside for a long time, making the person knocking more and more impatient.

"I have just come into contact with the [Weird World]. Although I have obtained the two items [Dreamland Goddess Flower Seed] and [Kanrui's Wizard Ring], there is definitely a big gap between me and experienced players. I must not contact people outside, otherwise I will lose the initiative."

At this time, the clock hands moved to twelve o'clock in the morning.

The usage count of 'Defiled Crow' has been refreshed...

Yang Qizhou smiled.

"Brother outside the door, we have no chance to meet today, so I'll leave you alone. I'll treat you to a meal when I have the chance in the future."

"The Unlucky Raven,"

"I want to re-choose whether to search the [Strange World]."

The crows' cries echoed in my mind, and the scene before my eyes became distorted, unreal, and broken, as if the world was melting.

When Yang Qizhou opened his eyes again, he found himself sitting in front of the computer. He had opened the search engine but had not entered anything. The time was exactly 11:27.

He went back half an hour.

"This is really exciting. If it weren't for the fate of the Desecrated Crow, I would have been in trouble this time."

Yang Qizhou felt a little scared. The person knocking on the door might have good intentions, but that didn't stop him from speculating about the other party with the greatest malice. After all, the chain of suspicion of the Dark Forest Law is eternal. The unknown is the enemy and the eternal threat.

When the number of 'Desecration Crow' was refreshed after twelve o'clock, Yang Qizhou also thought about contacting the other party, but he was worried that this would cover the node of 'Searching the Weird World Online'. After all, the ability of Desecration Crow is to return to the moment of the last choice, not to return to any moment of choice.

In this case, even if the game goes back, it will only go back to the moment before the door was opened, and it will still be inevitably exposed to the sight of unknown forces.

Risk elimination,

Yang Qizhou also calmed down and analyzed.

"Although I can't be sure, that person is most likely from the relevant department. Only they have the ability to find the person who searched for [Strange World] on the Internet within half an hour."

"Of course this is not absolute."

"The number of players in the [Strange World] is unknown. Among them, there may be people who have obtained related abilities such as 'search' and 'divination'."

"There is also the secret cultivator. He should not be in the same group as the unknown forces that came to our door, otherwise there would not be a reminder in the fifth point of attention. However, he not only left traces of the [Strange World] on the Internet, but also posted a post that only 'Strange Players' can see. Moreover, it is highly likely that he has not been found. This should be related to the ability he obtained from the [Strange World]."

"On this basis, we draw inferences,"

"Perhaps this world is far from being as peaceful as it seems on the surface. Under the influence of the [Strange World], the world is already in turmoil."

With an epiphany in his mind, Yang Qizhou felt the urgency again.

He remembered the group left by the secret cultivator, but had no intention of joining it as he did not want to create any more trouble.

It was just past twelve o'clock, and the number of resurrections was refreshed, but the number of uses of 'Defiled Dark Crow' was not restored. It had been used once before going back to the time before searching for 'Strange World' on the Internet, and now there were four chances left.

Yang Qizhou felt it was a pity. If he waited until the number of 'Unlucky Crows' was refreshed after midnight, he would immediately roll back to the previous time. Then, after midnight, the number of 'Unlucky Crows' would be refreshed again. He would continue to roll back, refresh, roll back, refresh, and roll back. Wouldn't that complete the time loop?

It was already dark, but Yang Qizhou couldn't fall asleep while lying on the sofa, his mind full of [Strange World].

Then let’s continue the game.

"Your soul returned to the Dead River very familiarly. You chose to use the power of fate to rewrite the ending of death."

"You have returned to the protection of the 'Ancient God of Fire Stealing'."

"You were chopped in half by the Nighthawks, your internal organs spilled all over the ground, and you died in a miserable state. You knew that the 'Kanrui Wizard Ring' had an aura of ridicule, so you quickly took it off."

"A night watchman was attracted by Alicena's vision and happened to run into you."

"The Nighthawks are very surprised by your appearance, because the Fire Stealer Village hasn't encountered a traveler for a long time. After all, the wilderness is so terrifying that few living people can cross it."

"You introduced yourself and mentioned something about 'Alicena'."

"This attracted great attention from the Night Watchman. He brought you back to the village and planned to report the matter to Lianna, the captain of the Night Watch Squad."

"During the conversation, you learned that this Nighthawk's name was Yixiu. His words always revealed his respect and admiration for Captain Lianna, which made you look forward to meeting Lianna."

Finally, the plot could start normally. Yang Qizhou felt touched. Although he had accepted the worldview of the Ksitigarbha system and was accustomed to "death, death, death, death", this did not delay his expectation of triggering the plot.

Yang Qizhou thought of the "Wreckage of the Nighthawks" again, and wondered if taking it out would trigger other side plots.

"After returning to the Fire Stealing Village, Yi Xiu arranged a temporary place for you to stay. He said hello and left."

"You were quiet for a few minutes,"

"Your explorer nature makes you unaccustomed to idleness, so you decided to go out for a stroll."

"You were surrounded by the fire-stealing villagers. They were also curious about you as an outsider. You smiled and greeted them."

"You thought about your first experience of death and asked the little girls nearby if they usually looked at the sun in the sky."

"The little girl tilted her head and replied that you can't look at the sun, otherwise something terrible will happen. Everyone in the village knows this."

"You ask why I can't look at the sun?"

"The little girl couldn't answer and was in a dilemma."

"You are attracted by a big house, and you feel that it is very different from the residences of ordinary villagers. There is no one in the house. Your adventurous nature makes you sneak in and wander around at will."

"You found a strange room with a faint purple light."

"The fork in the road of fate is once again before you, such a greedy, hypocritical and daring explorer,"

"You chose to open the door and walk in to find out what's going on."

"I'd rather just take a look around."

"Please make your choice."
