Survive for all and get a D-class simulator

“You're right, but it's a pity I can't sense your faith, otherwise I'd definitely want to see what's in your box.”

The gray-clothed figure was very interested in Lin Ye, but it didn't sense Lin Ye's faith, so it couldn't attack Lin Ye.

“It might not be as interesting as you think. Can I leave now?”

Lin Ye didn't think he could complete the simulation so easily, but he had to try to leave.

“Of course. Take that box with you. Consider it a gift from me. But even if you leave this church, you won't be able to leave here alive without choosing a god to believe in.”

The gray-clothed figure was very friendly to Lin Ye. After all, Lin Ye didn't believe in its god, so Lin Ye was a guest of the church. It always treated guests this way.

“Thank you.”

Lin Ye didn't say much. He stepped forward, picked up his companion's box, and left the church.

The moment he picked up the box, a line of提示 flashed before Lin Ye's eyes:

【Received a gift. Complete the simulation while carrying the gift to bring the gift back to the shelter】

As soon as he walked out of the church, Lin Ye stopped. Because outside wasn't the prison wagon and supervisors, nor the suburbs before entering the church, but a wide white stone road, with various church-like buildings lined up on both sides.

“Sigh, I knew I couldn't get out.”

Although Lin Ye had guessed this, the situation still gave him a headache.

‘In other words, I must choose a god to believe in to leave.’

‘But as soon as I have a god to believe in, I'll become a member of the church, and the things inside will be able to attack me.’

‘Moreover, believing in a god should be related to the spirit, and escaping to the shelter might not get rid of the so-called god.’

‘This isn't even the biggest problem.’

Lin Ye grabbed his hair, looking troubled.

He didn't think he could believe in a god.

This wasn't a question of whether he was willing, but whether he could.

Even if Lin Ye wanted to believe in a god, he didn't think he could.

Belief wasn't just lip service. It required wholehearted devotion. If he tried to fool the god with a little bit of faith, the outcome would definitely not be much better than his teammate's box.

‘Forget it, I'll take it one step at a time.’

Lin Ye walked along the stone road towards the next church. The two churches weren't far apart, only a few hundred meters, but for some reason, he could only see the full picture of the church when he got close.

The second church was a milky white domed church. A priest wearing black vestments with a pale face stood outside the church door, a bit like a girl soliciting customers outside a barbershop.

“Hello, would you like to come in and have a look?”

The priest didn't seem to be able to leave the church grounds. He exaggeratedly stretched out his hands, wanting to grab Lin Ye.

“Get straight to the point. I'm busy.”

Lin Ye took a step back, preventing the priest from touching him.

“Alright. You probably don't have a god to believe in yet. A non-believer cannot leave here. If you believe in my Lord, I will not only send you away safely, but my Lord will also grant you supreme power.”

The priest had an exaggerated smile on his face, looking eager.

He didn't look like he was recruiting members, but more like someone who was starving to death had come across a feast.

“Tell me about the specific benefits. Don't give me that useless stuff. Don't treat me like a newbie. What level is your god? Do you give out runes? Is there an evolution path? What level can you support me to?”

Lin Ye wasn't polite at all. He planned to try joining the church later, so he wanted to understand the market first.

“Ah? Gods are also divided into levels? You get stuff for joining? Why didn't I?”

The priest was obviously intimidated by Lin Ye's professional jargon. For a moment, he even felt like he was the newbie Lin Ye was talking about.

“Tch, so you're just a noob who doesn't know anything. What a waste of time.”

Lin Ye walked past the priest and continued towards the next church, leaving the priest outside the church in contemplation.

The third church was a church made of piled-up corpses. From a distance, Lin Ye felt a strong sense of unease.

So he didn't approach it at all, and directly bypassed the church.

The next few churches he passed looked terribly evil, as if it wasn't trendy unless they hung a few corpses outside the church.

After walking for half an hour, Lin Ye finally came across a church with a decent appearance.

This was a pure black steeple church. The architectural style was conservative, giving people a simple and clean aesthetic.

This church gave Lin Ye a very familiar feeling, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it.

As soon as he entered the church, looking at the huge void in the center of the church, Lin Ye instantly understood why he felt familiar.

This was a church related to the abyss.

“Are all you nuns so taciturn?”

Lin Ye regretted it very much now. Since being selected by the system, he hadn't encountered anything good. The moment he felt familiar, he should have turned around and left.

“You are closely connected to the abyss. Sooner or later, you will fall into the abyss. Do you want to believe in my Lord and find a backer in advance?”

The nun, like Mr. Gray, was very friendly.

“Not for now. I'll wait until I fall into the abyss.”

Lin Ye didn't dare to get involved with the abyss again. He'd rather find a not-so-strong god to register with.

“What a pity. Then you can leave. Just jump down to leave.”

The nun looked at Lin Ye, seeming to urge him to jump down quickly.

“……”

Lin Ye looked at the dark void below. He neither jumped down nor answered. He just looked at it, waiting for time to pass.

Five minutes later, the nun finally couldn't bear it anymore. It seemed that maintaining this state wasn't without cost.

So the ground was restored, and the door of the church appeared in front of Lin Ye.

Lin Ye still didn't move. He couldn't be sure if the ground would disappear again, or even if what he saw was really the ground.

In the end, Lin Ye couldn't determine how to leave here.

Open the door to leave? Or is jumping down the correct way to leave? How to jump down?

Moreover, even if he left here and entered another church, it would be difficult to end the simulation without believing in a god. This seemed to be an opportunity.

So Lin Ye decided to take a risk.

He looked directly into the nun's eyes, opened his arms, and fell backward into the abyss, head down, like the nun.

Since you won't let me leave, I have no choice but to get closer.

The nun couldn't help but admire Lin Ye's courage and good luck. The bottom was indeed the exit, but you had to leave upside down.

There were many guests who had been to this church, but few dared to jump into the void, and even fewer could leave upside down.

“As expected of someone favored by the abyss. May we meet in the abyss soon.”
