Abyss Game: I am covered with cheats

Even after leaving the Qingcheng Post Office, Xu Tong was still pondering the question in his mind.

He never imagined that one day he would be asking himself such a philosophical question.

"Who am I?"

For the average person, this question would be easily answered.

But Xu Tong was different.

He needed to answer the identity of the character he was playing in this instance, but from the current information, there was still a very small doubt perplexing him.

To resolve this doubt, Xu Tong left the post office and walked back the way he came, along the street.

Whether it was because his work was completely finished or something else, the hanging rope that had descended from the sky had disappeared.

Xu Tong walked on the empty street, feeling somewhat unaccustomed for a moment.

The identical houses on both sides of the street were somewhat eerie, but Xu Tong was already used to it.

Passing by the Qingcheng Pharmacy, Xu Tong hesitated for a moment, but he didn't go in.

Instead, he clutched the human skin medical record in his hand and carried the ghost doll on his back, walking straight ahead along the street.

Having walked this road many times, Xu Tong had even completely memorized the arrangement of the bricks and tiles.

The stench of corpses in the air gradually began to fade, and a very thin mist reappeared in front of Xu Tong.

But for some reason, this mist seemed to have some subtle differences from the initial mist.

It didn't take him long; Xu Tong arrived at the building where he had started.

The corpse that had been hanging from the ceiling fan before was gone, leaving only a frayed hanging rope dangling from the fan.

Xu Tong went to the sofa and sat down, throwing the human skin medical record on the table.

He reached out and touched the sofa beneath him.

It was a bit old, but he could still feel the smoothness of the leather.

He took out the paraquat he had obtained from the Qingcheng Pharmacy and placed it on the table.

To have a "perfect day," only one step remained.

Opening the bottle cap, Xu Tong sniffed the contents.

He could smell a strong uric acid odor.

Paraquat itself is colorless and odorless, but to prevent accidental ingestion, a foul-smelling agent is added to remind people not to accidentally consume it.

"I never thought I would willingly drink this one day."

Chuckling dryly, Xu Tong picked up the bottle and shook the liquid inside.

Then, he brought it to his lips.

If a knock on the door sounded next, it would mean that today was not a perfect day, and the side quest would be considered a failure.

Xu Tong brought the bottle to his lips while concentrating on listening for any movement in the entryway.

But even as Xu Tong placed the bottle completely to his lips, there was still no knock on the door.

Xu Tong closed his eyes, preparing to drink the contents of the bottle.

The ghost doll climbed up Xu Tong's back, watching Xu Tong drink the liquid…

"No."

Without letting a single drop of the poisonous liquid enter his mouth, Xu Tong put down the paraquat in time, his brow furrowed.

"I don't need to drink this."

After saying this, Xu Tong picked up the bottle cap again and sealed the bottle.

As soon as he did this, as expected, a line of text appeared in Xu Tong's vision.

「Side Quest Complete」

"Just as I thought," Xu Tong sneered.

"The instance description didn't mention the most important thing; it only said part of it."

The perfect day mentioned in the instance description stopped abruptly when Xu Tong put the poison to his lips because the imperfect day started with the sound of knocking.

But this perfect day, from beginning to end, never mentioned that Xu Tong had to drink this bottle of poison!

This was misleading!

It just wanted to create the illusion that "I need to drink the poison!"

Once the poison was drunk, the side quest would definitely fail because drinking the poison was not a necessary condition for achieving a perfect day!

"Fortunately, I'm treacherous and cunning, so I didn't fall for it."

The disharmonious point that Xu Tong felt at the beginning was precisely this, and it was precisely because he realized this that he understood that drinking the poison was the wrong solution.

Now that the side quest was completed, there was only one question left for Xu Tong.

That was the remaining main quest.

The content of the main quest was to complete his work today, but logically speaking, Xu Tong's work today was to deliver letters, and he should have completely delivered the letters in his hand…

Huh?

No.

Xu Tong suddenly realized that in the office on the second floor of the Qingcheng Post Office, Ghost Head had told him something very important.

Ghost Head's original words were: "It's really hard on you; you actually managed to complete such a difficult letter delivery task."

Ghost Head said, "task."

Instead of "work."

Even though Ghost Head later mentioned the word work, he was just following Xu Tong's lead.

In other words, in Ghost Head's view, this series of activities of delivering letters was not originally Xu Tong's work, but a task.

An assessment task to test whether he could take over the position of Director of the Qingcheng Post Office.

So what is his real job?

Just as Xu Tong was puzzled, a knock on the door suddenly rang.

Xu Tong raised an eyebrow.

His side quest was completed, which meant his perfect day was over.

But why was there still a knock on the door?

Who on earth was knocking on his door at this time?

With some suspicion, Xu Tong went to the entryway, preparing to first use the peephole to see what the situation was outside.

But looking through the peephole, all he could see was a vast expanse of mist, making it impossible to see what was outside.

The knocking continued, the sound was very soft, and it maintained a rhythm, which really didn't make people feel at ease.

Xu Tong raised an eyebrow, reached out, turned the doorknob, and opened the door in front of him.

Squeak—

The door opened.

Outside the door, there was neither a vast expanse of mist nor any ferocious ghosts.

There was only a man with a gaunt face and eyes filled with a desire for work.

And Xu Tong had seen this man's face twice.

The first time was in another timeline, in the basement of the house, the man standing next to the altar.

The second time was at the end of this street, or rather, this timeline, in the Qingcheng Post Office, leaving only a head, guarding the office on the second floor, Ghost Head.

These three.

Are the same person!
