Chapter 71 I do

Huangfu Miaomiao was extremely excited. Being able to get in touch with the maze manager made her feel as if she had become a high-level player and her level had been raised.

Feng Ling frowned and looked at Li Qing: "You are a game administrator, and you are copying alien information to the human forum. Why are you pretending to be a good person? What do you want to do?"

Li Qing explained stiffly, "I have no ill intentions. I discovered your forum by accident and saw that many of the information posted there were wrong, so I helped to sort it out."

Feng Ling approached him and said sarcastically: "Should I say thank you to you on behalf of all mankind?"

Li Qing took a half step back and defended himself: "I know you suspect that I have ulterior motives, but I really have no ill intentions. At that time, the balance of the game was facing collapse, and human participation in the game was an inevitable trend. As an administrator, I just did this to follow the trend."

"Game balance? Collapse? Trend?" Feng Ling laughed. "If it's broken, why don't you get out? Aren't you an administrator? Don't you have the authority to shut down the game?"

"……No."

This was Huangfu Miaomiao's answer in a low voice.

Feng Ling glared at her unhappily.

Li Qing saw the interaction between the two. He inferred that since Feng Ling did not kill the player Huangfu Miaomiao, there was room for negotiation.

He took a deep breath, raised his hands in surrender to Feng Ling, and said, "Can we have a frank talk?"

Feng Ling stared at him coldly.

The small animals hidden in the Taoist robes were peeking out from the collar, while her cat spider and cat owl had been hungry for a long time and were squatting nearby, ready to make a move.

She thought about it, looked at the soft sofa in the RV, walked over and sat down first, leaving the seat opposite vacant, and signaled Li Qing to come over with her eyes.

Li Qing silently glanced at the cat spider and cat owl not far away, pursed his thin lips, lowered his head, walked over and sat down.

"You helped me solve the puzzle, so I have no reason to kill you." Feng Ling said, "But not killing you doesn't mean I can trust you 100%."

She turned her head and looked at Huangfu Miaomiao, "Didn't you say before that you can sign a contract with any intelligent life form? Now let him sign the contract. From now on, every word he says to you must come from the heart. There must not be any adulteration, otherwise he will die suddenly."

Huangfu Miaomiao muttered softly: "A contract requires both parties to have exchange conditions, and it cannot unilaterally restrict one party."

Feng Ling said: "Then why don't you just promise not to lie to him?"

Huangfu Miaomiao did not expect that her first devil contract would be used as a lie detector, and she felt a little complicated.

But she didn't dare to reject Feng Ling's request, so she looked at Li Qing silently, raised her hand to call up the panel, and entered the content of the contract.

Soon Li Qing received a system message:

[A demon invites you to a contract: As long as you are always honest with the demon, the demon will also be honest with you. Once the contract is reached, both parties cannot regret it, otherwise you will die suddenly. Do you confirm? ]

Li Qing: “…………”

He hesitated.

As an administrator, the information he possesses is his greatest confidence and support. Once Feng Ling knows it all, his fate will be unpredictable.

Feng Ling slowly pulled out a sharp bone spur from his shoulder, and the corners of his mouth slowly rose.

"Master Li, are you unwilling?" She smiled intriguingly.

Li Qing's heart sank.

He remembered what Feng Ling had just said...

"If you help me solve the puzzle, I have no reason to kill you."

She wanted to kill him. She just lacked a reason to do so.

To ease the atmosphere, Huangfu Miaomiao sprayed perfume into the air while advising Li Qing: "This contract is already very kind to you. It just asks you to tell the truth. It neither requires you to betray the player group nor prevents you from resisting the hidden boss. You can also get the devil's honesty. It's really a good deal."

Li Qing: “…………”

No, how can there be such a player in the game???

He felt something was wrong, his temples were throbbing, and Feng Ling's eyes had changed. Her gaze became wandering, as if she was looking for where to operate on his body.

"I do." Li Qing answered stiffly.

He signed the contract.

There was a flash of light in the air, and the words changed:

[The devil's contract begins to take effect. ]

Li Qing felt like he was having a heart attack.

Feng Ling and Huangfu Miaomiao might not know, but as the game administrator, he knows it very well -

The devil's contract is not magic, but a powerful psychological suggestion. Once it takes effect, he must do as the contract requires. Otherwise, the subconscious mind that has been suggested will really cause the body to die suddenly.

"Very good." Feng Ling smiled with satisfaction.

She tilted her head, resting her chin on her hand to admire Li Qing's unusually ugly expression, and said with a smile: "I don't care whether you are an alien with ulterior motives or a peace ambassador of truth, goodness and beauty. Now I want to ask you the first question, where is the maze?"

Huangfu Miaomiao repeater: "Where is the maze?"

Li Qing replied in a low voice: "I do have the authority to open the maze, but it needs to be opened at a specific time and place."

Feng Ling showed him the photo on her phone. "The riddle is: a frog wearing a top hat soars into the sky, salivating over a lone white bird, and the sky fire of the snake moon burns a gate out of the ashes."

Li Qing thought for a moment and replied, "I see. The light in the photo is at Goddess Peak, and the time is about 20 minutes before sunset. I will open the maze for you at this location and time."

"Second question," Feng Ling smiled with a smile, "What's in the maze?"

Huangfu Miaomiao repeater: "What's in the maze?"

Li Qing pursed his lips and shook his head after a moment, "I don't know."

Huangfu Miaomiao turned to Feng Ling and said, "He really doesn't know that the devil's contract doesn't allow him to lie, so he definitely won't lie."

Feng Ling frowned, "Is this reasonable? He is a maze manager, how can he not know what is in the maze?"

"The maze is a genetic experiment site set up by the game system. It is constantly changing. No one knows how far the maze in Sanqing Mountain has evolved." Li Qing took a deep breath and explained, "But what is certain is that the things in the maze will be affected by local geological features, biological species, cultural traditions and other factors."

"What do you mean?" Feng Ling asked him.

"There will be no Egyptian mummies in the maze of volcanic islands in the Aegean Sea," Li Qing replied.

Feng Ling understood immediately.

She looked out the car window at the rocks in the distance and was silent for a while. "So, will there be pollutants like mountain goblins near Sanqing Mountain?"

"No," Li Qing said without waiting for Huangfu Miaomiao to repeat, "I have fulfilled my duties as an administrator conscientiously and have not allowed the contamination in the maze to spread outside."

Feng Ling was slightly stunned when he heard this. "You mean, the pollution in the maze will indeed spread to the outside world? What's the reason? Is the administrator not responsible?"

Li Qing's expression revealed a sense of powerlessness, "No, they were killed."
