I am a god in the secret world

Chapter 12: Inside the convenience store

The convenience store exudes a warm atmosphere, and you can even smell the aroma of oden.

The shelves were filled with items, and at the front was bread, emitting a warm and soft aroma.

Bai Cha tentatively reached out and placed his hand on a piece of bread.

She didn't quite get the touch.

But after staying there for a moment, she felt as if she was being watched by countless people.

She withdrew her hand.

She can't see the "people" that exist, but these "people" do exist.

Just like she deliberately tested the front desk to ask for money, the front desk refused to give her money, but it also meant that money had to be paid here.

Otherwise, I don’t know what will happen.

In the normal world, if you take something from someone without paying, you will be considered a thief or robber.

This kind of place doesn't pay for things...

But she had already come in, and this should be one of the few opportunities for her to get food.

Baicha walked around the convenience store and saw the staff's room.

Generally, in convenience stores like this, there are at least some water dispensers in the staff's rooms, right?

Bai Cha knocked on the door a few times.

"Hello, is there anyone?"

The noisy voices around were still unclear and no one answered.

Bai Cha pushed open the door.

Unlike what I imagined, the space inside the door was indeed not big, but there was only an altar with an incense burner on it, with three unlit incense sticks in the burner.

There is a red candle on each side of the incense burner, and three plates of offerings are placed in front, with six tangerines, apples and oranges respectively. There are also two bottles of mineral water in front. It is a very classic arrangement for offering to gods.

The altar was next to the wall, on which was a portrait.

It was a Buddha statue that looked just like the one printed on the flyer, and the Buddha’s handprint was the same Qi Ke seal as the one at the front desk.

The guess in Bai Cha's mind was gradually perfected.

Just as she had assumed at the beginning: when each player enters the game, the hand prints of the Buddha statue seen in the trailer are likely not to be exactly the same.

There are two rules. You have to follow the rule you see in the trailer on the flyer, but this does not mean that the rules on the flyer are safe.

Because everyone can play word games.

For example, if you encounter danger in the bathroom, don't panic. She really likes excitement, so she will only be excited after encountering it.

But if someone else panicked in that situation, would they get hurt? Would they actually be able to leave the bathroom?
None of this is known.

The second is the relationship between the B&B and the front desk. As the employed party, the front desk obviously has formed a different path from the B&B.

Bai Cha hasn't called the B&B yet, so she's not sure about the situation there, but based on the name she got after using her skills, she can make a bold assumption.

Statues of gods such as Buddha, as objects of faith, must have their own believers.

No matter what this Buddha statue in front of me is.

The receptionist is most likely worshipping the Buddha statue with the Qi Ke Seal in his hand, but is controlled by the B&B that believes in the Fa Seal and can only serve as a receptionist.

But this does not mean that the front desk clerk has no abilities. He may be able to gain certain abilities by helping guests solve problems.

This ability might be what allows him to escape from his imprisonment, or it might be something else.

But there is one thing that Bai Cha is 80% sure of, no matter whether it is the front desk or the homestay, although they seem to be helping guests solve problems, they may not be deliberately creating problems in order to achieve some kind of medium between themselves and the guests by helping them solve the problems.

Or it can be described in terms of cause and effect.

Because they helped the guests, what should the guests give in return?

This is also the reason why she parasitized the seed on the front desk.

There should be a competitive relationship between the two, but they are not necessarily mortal enemies, but they should not be friendly either. They are both competing for customers under the rules that each other tacitly agrees on.

Then the guests are very important.

After snatching the guests, what is the real purpose behind this game with weird rules?
Bai Cha suddenly felt a strong sense of being watched, and the feeling of being locked was almost the same as before she entered the game.

She looked at the portrait on the wall.

The portrait's eyeballs seemed to move.

Bai Cha's heartbeat was accelerating. She had a premonition that if she allowed the portrait to move any further, there might be some bad consequences.

She first glanced around with her peripheral vision, and then noticed that there seemed to be a gathering of dark human figures around her.

It was also at this time that she realized that the noisy sounds around her had disappeared.

Bai Cha's adrenaline was surging, even making her sweat all over, and she felt much more sober.

She suddenly walked quickly to the altar and tore off the portrait on it.

At that moment, a sharp voice pierced her mind.

Bai Cha just felt dizzy and nauseous, and his face turned pale.

She was able to maintain her balance and turned the portrait in her hand over.

There are really words on the back.

But new rules.
