Abyssal Distortion Files

Lu Yaozong was thrown back to school.

He found dozens of missed calls on his phone, undoubtedly from his parents.

There was no signal in Dream City, so he couldn't receive any messages.

Lu Yaozong called his parents back to let them know he was alive, then returned to his class.

The moment he pushed open the door, the teacher and students all looked at him.

"You're back?"

Lu Yaozong nodded and went straight back to his seat.

However, he noticed that besides him and Song Jiang, one other person was missing from the class: Chen Yao.

She wasn't there either.

You might be wondering why Lu Yaozong still remembered Chen Yao.

There's really nothing to be confused about, because the wish granted by the Abyss Book doesn't affect those who weren't changed in the first place.

It rewrote the fact that some people died, bringing them back to life.

For those who knew, their memories were twisted.

But for those who didn't know, they didn't even know about these people's deaths, so their memories weren't rewritten.

Correspondingly, their memories wouldn't be changed even after those people came back to life and interacted with them.

So even if the Abyss Book died, Lu Yaozong would still remember that there was such a person, he just didn't know where she went.

Because she had been there before, he remembered.

Lu Yaozong sat back in his seat, and before the teacher could speak, the classroom door was pushed open again.

This time, it was a girl who walked in.

"Chen Yao?"

The students and teacher in the class all looked confused.

What was going on?

First one or two people went missing for a couple of days, and now one or two are popping back up.

Where did they go?

Chen Yao didn't say anything, just silently returned to her seat.

"Where did Song Jiang go? Do you guys know?"

Hearing the teacher's question, Lu Yaozong looked up.

"I know, he went to the internet cafe and stayed up all night, and we can't get him to come back."

The teacher frowned.

"What about you two? You disappeared without even asking for leave?"

Lu Yaozong replied, "Song Jiang and I went to the internet cafe together, but he went crazy and won't come back."

The teacher covered her face and looked at Chen Yao, "What about you? Did you stay up all night with them too?"

Chen Yao smiled, "Yes, I stayed up all night too."

Teacher: "???"

What was this all about?

"Alright, I'll go notify Song Jiang's parents first, you guys study on your own for a bit."

The teacher left the classroom, and Chen Yao turned to look at Lu Yaozong.

"Why did you come back? Weren't you happy at the church?"

Lu Yaozong's pupils shrank when he heard this.

"You… how do you know?"

"Are you also a member of the church?"

Chen Yao nodded with a faint smile.

"Yes, of course, otherwise why do you think those monsters appeared here before?"

Lu Yaozong was a little puzzled.

"I used to suspect that the monsters came with you, but later the people from the church told me that those monsters were coming for me."

"That's really not easy."

"But I can help you."

Chen Yao said with a smile.

"Help me?"

"How can you help me?"

Seeing Lu Yaozong's confusion, Chen Yao actually took out a photo from her pocket.

"Look, I got this information from inside the church."

"There's a rat monster in the underground area here, which is the sewer.

Do you want to try becoming its Mystical Contractor?"

A rat?

"But, let me warn you in advance, no one has ever successfully made a contract with it, and it's not even certain whether it has self-awareness."

"But it's just a Light-Gazing intermediate-level monster, so it's not too dangerous.

Even in the worst case, you can always run away."

Lu Yaozong took the photo.

"First-order intermediate-level, that is indeed an opportunity…"

"But why do you want to help me?"

Chen Yao rested her hand on the table, tilted her head, and looked at Lu Yaozong.

"Because, I think you're very interesting."

"You're an interesting person, maybe you can do things that other people can't?"

She…

Could she like me?

Lu Yaozong shook his head quickly when he thought of this.

"What am I thinking? She's also a member of the church, definitely not an ordinary person, probably has other purposes, right?"

Lu Yaozong still had some self-awareness.

Even if Chen Yao wasn't a member of the church, she was so beautiful, how could she possibly be interested in him?

"I do like you a little."

Chen Yao said with a smile.

Like?

Lu Yaozong was stunned for a moment, and his face visibly began to turn red.

Who would have thought that he was actually a pure high school boy?

"Then… then I'll go… try it?"

"Good luck, I believe in you."

… …

At this moment, two figures were standing outside the window watching the two of them.

"The boss is really crazy… Yao Yao is already dead, but he still wants to create an avatar to deceive himself?"

"Maybe, this isn't an avatar."

"Wait… what did you say?"

"Not an avatar?"

"Then could this be…"

"The main body?!"

"He turned himself into Yao Yao?"

"I suddenly feel a little horrified…"

"Then… who is the prophet in the church now?"

"Which one is the main body?"

"I really can't tell!"

"Ghost Dorm, calm down."

"Who the main body is doesn't matter, what matters is that we're risking our lives right now."

Yes, risking their lives.

They were risking their lives playing a game, but the stakes of the game were their respective lives.

And to achieve victory, there were only two conditions: one was to win against the main body, and the other was to win against the other avatars.

Relatively speaking, although there were many avatars, it was definitely the most difficult to win against the main body.

Considering that if the main body reneged and didn't want to admit defeat, but instead overturned the table and continued playing, then there was nothing they could do.

After all, he was the main body, he set the rules of the game, and they, as avatars, naturally had no ability to resist the main body.

However, this didn't mean that they tacitly acknowledged that the main body had already won.

"I have an idea."

"Ghost Dorm, if you and I join forces, I might be able to gradually disintegrate the church."

"How to disintegrate it?"

"Break up the church's cabinet and make the people under the main body work for us."

"Isn't that poaching?"

"So what?"

"All's fair in war.

As long as we can win, it's a good move, as for whether the main body can't afford to lose, that's not my concern."

"After all, the main body says he hopes someone can kill him, but I don't see how much he wants to die."

"Yeah, if the main body really wanted to die, then he could just create a fifth-order Abyss-level monster and directly save the entire earth, wouldn't that be good?"
