Chapter 5 : The God Seems to Be Called “Player”
Chapter 5: The God Seems to Be Called “Player”
The more Jiang Chen thought about it, the more plausible it seemed.
After all, this was a game that was supposedly 100% realistic.
So, Jiang Chen began to operate.
At this moment, Vivian—being controlled—was rummaging through the scattered remains of the blasted cultists, and her heart was completely collapsing.
Stop! Lord God, please stop!
So disgusting! Ugh!!!
The pungent smell of blood rushed straight into Vivian’s head, making her mind buzz.
“This is strange, why am I still not finding anything?”
Jiang Chen became even more puzzled.
But just as Jiang Chen was about to investigate further, footsteps came from afar—the enforcement team had arrived.
Seeing them arrive, Jiang Chen knew there were probably no hidden plots or quests here.
He couldn’t help but shake his head and took his hands off the keyboard.
“Heh, the protagonist finishes the fight, and then the enforcement team shows up—standard procedure, huh.”
“Next should be a boring CG cutscene. I guess the developers didn’t put any hidden content or items early on—probably only after reaching the academy.”
As he was thinking this and preparing to see how the story would continue, suddenly, footsteps sounded outside the room.
“Bwo-bwo, bwo-bwo!” A five-year-old girl in a cartoon jacket ran into Jiang Chen’s room—it was naturally his younger sister, Jiang Yunxi.
Jiang Chen stood up, picked her up, his voice full of affection. “What is it, Yunxi? Big brother is working.”
“Bwo-bwo, I’m hungry.”
Hearing this, Jiang Chen froze for a moment and checked the time.
“It’s already noon.”
Thinking about the small amount he had just earned, Jiang Chen stood up. “What do you want to eat for lunch, Yunxi? Big brother will treat you to something good today.”
“Bwo-bwo, I want to eat KFC!” Yunxi’s excited voice rang out.
“No problem!”
As he spoke, Jiang Chen glanced at the game screen. “The cutscene is already playing, and there’s also a summary I can read later.”
“In that case, I’ll just let it play on its own. I’ll go eat first.”
With that, Jiang Chen took Jiang Yunxi’s small hand and walked out of the room.
.......
Meanwhile, on Vivian’s side—
She was in despair.
Just now, what had that Lord God controlled her body to do?
Something so horrifying—she would definitely have nightmares tonight!
Then she heard hurried footsteps approaching from behind—the Silvermoon City enforcement team had finally arrived.
At the same time, Lord God stopped, and Vivian finally breathed a sigh of relief, thinking she was saved.
But immediately, she realized what the god had just made her do—
At that moment, Vivian’s heart completely sank.
Just as she expected, such a bloody scene had been witnessed by the enforcement team.
However, Vivian quickly calmed down again—after all, it was a god controlling her body.
It was just a few enforcement officers. If Lord God made a move, this matter should be easily resolved. Abilities like wiping memories should be effortless for a god.
But then, she heard that it seemed to be Lord God’s younger sister who had arrived.
And then, Lord God went off to eat with his sister.
And then, Vivian horrifyingly discovered—
She… could move again.
“Wuu… Lord God, you’re way too irresponsible!”
The mess wasn’t even cleaned up yet, and you just left?!
Looking at her blood-covered hands and the vigilant enforcement officers around her, Vivian almost burst into tears.
At this moment, Vivian was 100% certain that the one controlling her was an Evil God.
Only an Evil God would do something this malicious!
.....
Inside the interrogation room.
The small space was dim. Across a table that smelled faintly of mildew sat the officer in charge of the interrogation.
“Wuu… I knew it would end like this!” Vivian looked at the cold-faced, blue-haired woman in silver armor, her eyes brimming with tears.
“Aelia Cecilia.” The other party introduced herself briefly.
She found it hard to believe that the exaggerated destruction from earlier had been caused by the weak little girl in front of her.
More importantly, looking at this fragile girl, and comparing it to the blood-covered figure from before, Aelia even suspected she had arrested the wrong person.
“Wuu… I really didn’t mean it! I didn’t know the magic would be this powerful… I’ll compensate! I’ll work to pay off the debt! Just don’t put me in prison, okay…” Vivian said while quietly sobbing.
Clearly, the situation had exceeded what her young mind could handle.
Aelia rubbed her forehead.
And judging from Vivian’s expression, it didn’t seem like she was pretending—she was probably truly frightened.
After all, anyone would be scared encountering members of the Death Church.
Some excessive reactions were understandable.
“Little one, don’t panic.” Aelia’s tone softened unconsciously. “The appearance of the Death Church must have a reason. Tell me exactly what happened.”
Vivian sniffled and told everything.
“So, the Death Church had already targeted you? Then what about your magic?”
“It… it’s a class skill.”
Aelia caught sight of the mark on her arm—a class icon? A divine blessing?
“Which god’s attention did you receive?”
“I-I don’t know…”
“You think ‘I don’t know’ is an acceptable answer?” Aelia frowned.
“Little one, lying isn’t a good habit. During the ritual, the god will tell you what kind of god they are.”
Vivian naturally knew that—but she hadn’t gone through any ritual; she had obtained it directly.
Her mind raced, and she seemed to recall a certain keyword mentioned by that Evil God before.
“I-it seems… it’s called ‘Player’…”
Although it seemed almost impossible for this little girl to have anything to do with an Evil God—
And Aelia had never heard of any Evil God named “Player”—
For safety’s sake, she decided to proceed cautiously.
“It’s alright. I understand the situation now. It’s not entirely your fault. The buildings you destroyed were abandoned and scheduled for demolition anyway, and there were no casualties.”
“So for this incident, you’ll only bear secondary responsibility. Combined with your merit in eliminating members of the Death Church, it balances out.”
“Next, we’ll just conduct a simple test using a Magic Testing Stone. As long as you’re not aligned with evil, you’ll be free to go.”
Hearing this, Vivian’s heart sank.
Magic Testing Stone?
It’s over.
Others might not know what kind of god was watching her—but how could she not know?
Despite her intense resistance, Vivian had no other choice.
Thus, unwillingly, she was brought to the main hall of the enforcement team.
The moment she entered, she saw enforcement officers coming and going. At this moment, Vivian really wanted to run.
But…
There’s no escape… there’s definitely no escape!
Lord God, where are you?
Your believer Vivian is about to be finished!
Wait… I don’t even know who Lord God really is. Can I even be considered a believer?
Heh… what a cold joke.
Just like that, Vivian was brought before an elderly woman in a black mage robe, her hair completely white.
“Oh, little Aelia has come.” The old woman spoke in a hoarse voice.
“Granny Murphy, don’t call me little Aelia!” Aelia said, slightly dissatisfied, then pointed to Vivian, whose eyes were still red from crying.
“Granny, I brought her for the Magic Testing Stone examination.”
Hearing this, Granny Murphy looked at Vivian with curiosity. “So this is the Vivian who’s been causing such a stir recently—one of the Empire’s Twin Stars.”
Aelia nodded.
“You really gave us quite a shock, little one. I heard that quite a few Two-Ring Mages were taken down by you this time.”
As she spoke, Granny Murphy took out a blue crystal ball. “Put your hand on it, child.”
Knowing she couldn’t avoid it, Vivian braced herself and placed her hand on it.
The next moment, the crystal ball began to change colors.
Finally, it settled on white.
“A Chaotic Neutral god…” Granny Murphy’s tone carried an indescribable meaning.
On the other hand, Vivian let out a long sigh of relief upon hearing the result.
“As long as it’s not an Evil God!”
It seemed she had escaped disaster.
Now that it was confirmed that Vivian’s god was not of an evil alignment, things became much easier.
Soon after, she signed an agreement stating that within Silvermoon City, she could not use such high-power magic unless facing life-threatening danger. Then Aelia escorted Vivian toward the entrance of the enforcement hall.
Looking at the fragile little girl before her, Aelia couldn’t help but feel that her earlier caution had been unnecessary.
What bad intentions could such a little girl possibly have?
After escorting Vivian to the door, Aelia crouched down and gently patted her head.
“Vivian, you mustn’t use magic recklessly in the future, okay? And if you encounter danger, remember to come to the enforcement team immediately.”
Vivian nodded. “I understand, Sister Aelia.”
“Good girl.”
But just at that moment—
A familiar voice echoed in Vivian’s mind.
“No way!!!”
