I Became a God in a Horror Game

“The preseason is almost over.”

Wang Shun stood beside the floating panel, with a look of relief on his face: “Now you are performing well in the team competition. President Bai and Captain Tang have trained you very well.”

“Thank you for your hard work, training and competing at the same time every day.”

Mu Sicheng collapsed on the back of the chair with a look of despair, Liu Jiayi lay on the table with her head covered and fell asleep, and even Mu Ke was yawning with his hands supporting his head, and was about to fall asleep with his eyes squinting.

Wang Shun couldn’t help laughing: “But the period before was the most tiring. The next period will be much easier for you because you have entered the pre-season upper circle. The frequency of the games has dropped, and you can only play three to four games a day.”

“Next, I will report everyone’s popularity ranking.”

“Bai Liu, 179.”

“Liu Jiayi, 186.”

“Tang Erda, 194.”

“Mu Ke, 261.”

Wang Shun clicked on the system panel and said, “Everyone’s ranking will rise very slowly from now on, because we are already close to the popularity circle of the mid-season competition.”

“There are 32 teams in the mid-season tournament, and each team has only five main players. Therefore, the popularity of the mid-season tournament is mainly concentrated in the top 160 teams, which has an overwhelming popularity advantage over the pre-season teams. It is difficult for you to rush in.”

“Especially in this mid-season tournament, there are quite a few new players who have performed brilliantly and attracted a lot of popularity, and now they have firmly occupied the top rankings.”

“The clown I mentioned to you before is currently ranked 79th, which means he’s already in the top 100. He’s the highest ranked of the newcomers.”

“Next is Armand of Golden Dawn and Sister Phoebe of King’s Crown, one is 93 and the other is 102.”

“These newcomers have the guild’s popularity guarantee, so they can rise very quickly. If they perform well later, they will not fall unless something unexpected happens. This means they will always stay in the upper ranks, so the competition for popularity rankings this year will be quite fierce.”

Wang Shun looked around and said, “Next, I will report the top five most popular people.”

“The unshakable number one, Spades.”

“The second one is the Queen of Hearts.”

“The third one is Georgia.”

“The fourth one is the Reverse God.”

“The fifth one is the unknown executioner, the president of the Deer Hunters Guild, and the person I want to focus on talking to you about today.”

Wang Shun clicked on the system panel, and the information was enlarged and displayed on the floating panel.

“This guild leader used to be a main attacker, but he switched to being a tactician after the Reverse God left last year. This is his first year in the league as a tactician. Judging from his current ranking, he is doing very well.”

“It’s worth mentioning that this guild leader’s popularity ranking never made it into the top 50 last year until the end of the league, and his highest popularity ranking was 59.”

Mu Sicheng came back to his senses from his half-asleep, half-awake state and said in surprise, “No way! This guy is the president of a big guild, and he’s very powerful, so how can his popularity ranking be so low?”

Wang Shun smiled and said: “On the one hand, the popularity ranking is linked to strength, and on the other hand, it is also related to personal style, expression, and appearance.”

“Although the Deer Hunter’s president is very capable, his personal style is not outstanding, his expression is not strong, and his appearance…”

Wang Shun hesitated for a moment, then clicked the panel to play a short video: “You should watch it for yourselves.”

The person in the short video directly inserted his hand into his right eye with force. He felt that his eye socket was stretched bigger and his facial features were squeezed and deformed. His face swayed unsteadily like fluid. Then he turned and grasped as if looking for something in his eye, and finally slowly pulled his hand out.

But from beginning to end, the man’s entire face was covered in blood and flesh and could not be seen clearly.

Wang Shun paused and said, “Now you all understand, the process of this executioner summoning weapons is very bloody, and his appearance is not worth mentioning, so his popularity has never been high.”

“But this year his popularity has increased incredibly, even approaching that of the veteran tactician, the Reverse God.”

Mu Sicheng was puzzled: “Why?”

Wang Shun paused for a moment and said, “I think it was the departure of the Reverse God that made him successful.”

“From this video, you can see that the executioner’s personal style is very bloody, extroverted, and brutal. On the court, the executioner is also a very aggressive main attacker, suitable for highly offensive tactics, and is very good at killing opponents.”

“But because the Reverse God is a moderate tactician who doesn’t kill easily, and the executioner is completely obedient to the Reverse God, he often holds back in the arena, unable to display his full strength, and it’s difficult for him to show a side that attracts the audience.”

“After the Reverse God left this year, the Executioner introduced the Clown, a newcomer who was more in tune with his personal style. The tactics he formulated as a tactician were also quite extreme. So on the court, I saw that the Executioner completely exploded with all the suppressed aggression.”

Wang Shun clicked on the panel and played a short video: “This is the recent team match between Deer Hunter and Executioner in the 19th ranked [Moon Serpent].”

The executioner, wearing a coat and with a bloody face, stretched out his bloody, bony hands to grip the neck of a twisting snake. He half-knelt beside the snake in a natural and leisurely posture, but the blood vessels and veins on his arms bulged as he fiercely pushed the struggling snake into the ground.

The big snake was powerless to resist. It spasmed twice and stopped twisting. Then its body exploded inch by inch, blood splattered, and the snake head screamed miserably and turned back into human form: “It hurts! It hurts! It hurts! I give up! I give up!”

But before he reached out and clicked on the panel to give up, he fell to the ground and didn’t move, his eyes fixed in place, and it seemed that tears were dripping.

The executioner slowly stood up at the sound of the end of the game, threw his blood-soaked coat on the man’s head, took out a cigarette from his coat, lit it with a lip-shaped opening on his twisted, bloody face, and exhaled a puff of smoke.

“If you break the law and hurt others, you deserve to be tortured. Pain is only the simplest thing in your punishment.”

When the short video reached this point, Wang Shun paused it, zoomed in on the video, and pointed at the executioner’s middle finger holding the cigarette and said, “See? There is a silver ring here.”

Mu Sicheng squinted his eyes and indeed found a silver ring at the base of the executioner’s bloodstained middle finger: “I see.”

“This ring is his skill weapon, called the [Death Ring].”

Wang Shun explained: “The Death Ring is a ring given to executioners by the saint King Herod, who is said to be fair, just, supreme, kind and merciful to everyone in ancient times.”

“It is said that the executioner was afraid when he hanged a powerful enemy king. In order to make the executioner not feel afraid when hanging the criminal, King Herod took off his ring and gave it to the executioner, telling him that he was only killing a sinner and he did not need to be afraid.”

“From then on, King Herod granted the executioner the right to kill all living beings who committed crimes, including the king, and this ring is the [Ring of Death].”

“The exact mechanism of the Death Ring is still unclear, but it is said that the opponent who is touched by the executioner’s hand with the ring will feel excruciating pain, as if they were tortured countless times, until they die from the pain.”

“I tried to collect some information about the opponents who were touched by the executioner. Generally speaking, the more severe the pain, the more likely they have committed crimes in real life.”

Wang Shun continued, “But that’s not always the case. From the information I’ve collected, some players who have been sanctioned by the Executioner do seem to be about to commit crimes soon, but they haven’t done those things when they were sanctioned. They still feel a lot of pain when the Executioner touches them with the ring.”

“If it weren’t for the repeated obstruction of the Reverse God, these people would have probably been tortured to death by the executioner.”

“So my personal judgment is that the executioner’s criteria for torture may not be objective, but subjective, that is, you will be tortured as severely as the executioner thinks you should be tortured.”

“The Reverse God’s escape is equivalent to unlocking the executioner’s shackles, which is not good news for us.” Wang Shuan said solemnly, “On the one hand, this will allow him to show off his strength unscrupulously in the arena and occupy the top of the popularity rankings. On the other hand, he will also be unscrupulous when executing us.”

“Please pray that all of us will have a good impression on the executioner.”

“Finally, let me remind you all about tomorrow’s game.” Wang Shun smiled bitterly, “I just said so much nonsense because I didn’t want to report on the teams for tomorrow’s game.”

“We only have one game tomorrow, and our opponent is——”

Wang Shun took a deep breath: “Fanatic Lambs.”

In the viewing pond hall, Bai Liu, who had just walked out of the viewing pond after the show, was followed stealthily by someone.

The man held a fist-sized camera and carefully blended into the dense crowd, looking for angles to take pictures of Bai Liu. He looked like an experienced paparazzi who had been secretly photographing celebrities’ privacy for years.

Bai Liu seemed unaware that someone was following him and was talking to the people around him naturally.

The paparazzi smiled strangely, adjusted the angle twice, and when he could almost capture Bai Liu’s upper body clearly, he pressed the power button. The camera squeaked twice and spit out a photo.

The man took the photo, glanced at it, opened the system panel with a happy expression, and sent an email.

【We got it! Let’s take action!】

The photo showed Du Sanying sitting opposite Bai Liu, slurping noodles with a dazed expression. A line of ten-digit real coordinates was clearly printed below him.

In reality.

Du Sanying was holding the beef noodles that Bai Liu had packed and drinking the soup. After finishing eating, he looked curiously at Bai Liu who was leaning on the sofa and watching TV lazily.

Normally, Bai Liu would have finished taking a shower and lay in bed at this time, but today Bai Liu was still watching TV.

Du Sanying looked at the ‘In the Night Garden’ show [1] playing on TV in confusion.

Does Mr. Bai Liu like this?

In fact, Bai Liu didn’t like this, but his family hadn’t paid the aperture fee for the TV for a long time, so he could only watch some basic channels. Bai Liu just watched them casually and finally stopped at the children’s channel.

Du Sanying asked: “Mr. Bai Liu, don’t you want to take a shower and rest early today? There is a very important game tomorrow.”

Bai Liu said calmly: “Don’t wash it for now. Someone will come to find us later. I want to take you out for a while.”

Du Sanying suddenly realized: “No wonder you left God Mu’s Motorcycle downstairs when you left. It turns out that you need it now. Mr. Bai Liu, are you going to take me out on a motorcycle?”

After saying that, Du Sanying scratched his head shyly: “God Mu’s heavy motorcycle looks so cool. I can’t ride a motorcycle, but it’s good to be able to sit on it.”

Bai Liu hummed: “I don’t know how to ride either.”

Du Sanying breathed a sigh of relief and laughed: “Mr. Bai Liu doesn’t know either…”

After a while, he realized what was happening. Du Sanying said in horror, “Wait, Mr. Bai Liu, you can’t do it, and neither can I. Who will drive the motorcycle later?!”

The sound of motorcycles whizzing past could be heard from under the windowsill. The engine roared, arrogant and harsh. The dazzling high beams shone into Bai Liu’s window, casting halos on Bai Liu’s face.

Bai Liu smiled: “Here they come.”

Du Sanying was still in shock: “What’s coming?!”

Bai Liu turned off the TV with the remote control, unbuttoned two buttons of his shirt to facilitate movement, folded the cuffs of his shirt up twice, and looked at Du Sanying: “The biker gang ambushing us is here, let’s go down and drive the motorcycle.”

Du Sanying howled: “But Mr. Bai Liu, neither you nor I know how to drive!”

Bai Liu nodded: “It doesn’t matter, I just need you, let’s go.”

After saying that, Bai Liu took off the motorcycle helmet hanging behind the door and threw one to Du Sanying, then put it on himself. He opened the shoe cabinet and took out a rusty baseball bat from it. He weighed it in his hand and held it with his backhand.

Bai Liu turned and looked at Du Sanying: “Are you ready?”

Du Sanying frantically buttoned his helmet with one hand and raised the other hand: “Ready, ready!”

Bai Liu held out her hand to Du Sanying: “Come over when you’re ready.”

Du Sanying looked at the hand Bai Liu extended to him, then looked at Bai Liu’s indifferent expression, clenched his fists and took a deep breath.

It’ll be okay, his misfortune won’t affect Mr. Bai Liu!

Du Sanying suddenly stretched out his hand to Bai Liu. Bai Liu held Du Sanying’s wrist and looked towards the door.

There was the sound of metal sticks colliding outside the door. It was obvious that someone was knocking on the fences on both sides of the stairs with a stick and a knife. The footsteps went up one after another and finally stopped in front of Bai Liu’s door.

Bai Liu slowly walked to the door and said softly, “When I open the door later, just close your eyes. Nothing will happen.”

Du Sanying swallowed and nodded.

The door was slammed and vicious curses were heard through the room.

“Bai Liu, get out!”

“You dare to offend our Brother Kong, I will break your legs today!”

Bai Liu opened the door without any emotion on her face: “Close your eyes.”

Knives, fists, sticks and clubs were coming towards him, and Du Sanying subconsciously closed his eyes. Bai Liu blocked Du Sanying in front of him without changing his expression.

At the moment when these people were about to attack Du Sanying, Bai Liu’s door strangely fell outward, just in front of this group of ferocious people.

When the opponent fell, Bai Liu did not hesitate to finish him off with two baseball bats.

A line of blood spurted out, splashing directly from the shirt to Bai Liu’s face.

Bai Liu pulled Du Sanying’s wrist and continued to walk out through the door. After turning around, the number of people rushing up from the stairs shouting and killing continued to increase. Bai Liu lowered his eyes and looked at the group of people, and the blood on the baseball bat dripped onto the ground.

Du Sanying’s voice was trembling, but he still obeyed without opening his eyes: “Mr. Bai Liu, are you okay?”

Bai Liu said calmly: “I’m fine. No matter what I do next, don’t open your eyes.”

Du Sanying trembled and nodded quickly.

Bai Liu pulled Du Sanying to the stairs, held Du Sanying’s shoulders as he faced the thugs who were rushing up with daggers and iron rods, and then gently pushed him down.

Du Sanying was pushed out, and was stunned for a moment in the moment of weightlessness: “Mr. Bai Liu…?”

Was he pushed down!!!

The sharp tip of the knife and the raised iron rod were about to hit Du Sanying who was falling from the stairs. The dilapidated iron fence next to the stairs suddenly creaked twice and collapsed.

A group of people who were holding onto the fence and rushing upwards rolled into a ball along the collapsed fence, and the knives and sticks that had not yet been put away stabbed into their own bodies.

The screams suddenly became one and the same.

“Ah! Wang Laogou, your knife! It stabbed my kidney!”

“Whose PVC pipe is this? Damn it, it’s stuck in my hand! Take it away quickly, it hurts so much!”

Bai Liu jumped down a few times lightly and landed steadily next to a big man lying with blood all over his head.

Du Sanying, who had not yet recovered from his shock, lay on top of the big man.

Du Sanying fell on the human sandbag without any injury, but he looked terribly frightened, almost crying, trembling, but still did not open his eyes: “Mr. Bai Liu, can I open my eyes now?”

Bai Liu glanced at the big man that Du Sanying was holding down.

The big man stared at Bai Liu ferociously, struggled to get up and tried to stab Bai Liu with the knife.

Bai Liu raised his hand and gave him a blow with the stick.

The man’s head was bleeding again and he fell down dizzy.

Bai Liu grabbed Du Sanying’s wrist, pulled him up, and walked down the stairs without looking away: “You can open your eyes now.”

Du Sanying slowly and carefully opened his eyes, then screamed in fright.

The narrow staircase was filled with hooligans lying in a crooked position, sighing and groaning. The railings were like a barrier pressing on them to prevent them from moving. The ground was covered with cement foam and pools of blood caused by the iron rods.

There was also a splash of blood on the side of Bai Liu’s face, and combined with his emotionless expression, he looked particularly… scary.

Du Sanying swallowed nervously: “Are all these people taken care of by Mr. Bai Liu?”

Bai Liu glanced at Du Sanying and said, “No, I just helped you.”

Du Sanying was confused: “……???”

“Did I do all this?” Du Sanying, who had always been a good citizen, took a moment to react after hearing this, then accepted the reality with horror and collapsed, shouting, “Then did I break the law?”

Bai Liu retracted his gaze: “No, I checked, it’s legitimate self-defense.”
