Kaidan Game Train: Abide Rule or Die!-Chapter 2176: Attack from the Emblem

It’s probably related to religious beliefs, so Purple Lake City is very tolerant of line-cutting behavior. The person behind A Hai is a local, and after Huang Mao went past, he voluntarily gave up a spot, "You people from out of town are in a rush; I’m local, I can wait anytime."

He finished speaking and moved to the back of the line.

Huang Mao was as happy as winning the lottery, repeatedly thanked him, and then stood behind A Hai.

The locals were pleased, but the other players in line were unhappy and immediately pulled a face, "He’s not the only one in a hurry."

"But only I got a place from someone else." Huang Mao replied with a smile.

The player speaking from behind was probably in a bad mood, seeing Huang Mao got away with it and acted humble, immediately stepped out of the line.

Huang Mao didn’t show the slightest of panic and rolled up his sleeves, "Afraid of you."

At this moment, a government official came over, advising them to abide by the rules, otherwise, the government would not stamp their pass.

Of course, with the players’ means, they could bypass the normal process to get a stamp, but the problem was that Purple Lake City also had its players, and the ones maintaining order here were two Advanced Players.

Perhaps thinking that two Rank-C Players weren’t a problem, the provocative player without a word used a prop to snatch the stamp and certificate from the office desk, stamped it himself in front of everyone, then casually tossed it aside, shaking the certificate with the parallel eyes stamp towards everyone with a sneer.

However, the staff and Advanced Players who just acted, now instead remained still, just stood staring at him, not only them, all the other locals present also looked at him with a strange and mocking gaze.

This Outer Zone player frowned, immediately tried to leave, but as he turned, he inadvertently glanced at the certificate in his hand, and his whole body froze as if electrocuted, then followed by a twisted expression, holding his head in severe pain and knelt to the ground, and as the certificate in his hand fell to the ground, at the sight of those two eyes again, he moaned in agony even more, collapsed on the ground, and began to convulse uncontrollably.

The people of Purple Lake City were accustomed to this, but the Outer Zone players present were horrified, their uncertain eyes shifted repeatedly between him and the certificate: Could it be some kind of special item?

Even if it was a special item, it definitely wouldn’t be mass-produced or sold wholesale, plus he casually snatched it over and stamped it himself, the issue seemed to be with that pattern.

The problem was indeed with the pattern.

The emblem of the Goddess Church is a pair of eyes aligned vertically, a simple emblem. The stamps given out before, and the double-eye patterns on the street buildings outside, flags, and various surroundings, all seemed normal, without releasing special powers. But when that player stamped it himself, the pattern on the paper suddenly emanated a strong power and continued to release it.

Even though Xu Huo couldn’t empathize with that player’s pain, he still felt the pressure released from the pattern.

Was it that the pattern bore power?

Xu Huo couldn’t help but look outside. Besides the Holy Land, were the five satellite cities also within the instance’s scope?

However, such directly targeting players through a carrier instance force is rare. Generally, instances aren’t controlled in such detail, especially not on the scale of a divided area-based instance.

By this time, the staff had already retrieved the stamp and certificate, and people in line resumed getting their passes stamped, while the player suffering from the head-splitting pain lay there for a while before coming to, looking slightly dazed, then fully woke up several seconds later, gritted his teeth, and left.

"Every few days, there’s always such a player who doesn’t believe in evil." A local in line said with a smile, "It won’t work even if he tries at the Divine Temple, as the Divine Envoy surely already knows he disrespects the Goddess, and won’t grant him access to the Holy Land Goddess Temple."

Huang Mao asked the people behind about what on the paper was so powerful, and the local believers of the Goddess proudly told him, "Those are the eyes of the Goddess. Although she resides long-term in the Holy Land Goddess Temple, her eyes can see anywhere in the district, blessing all of us and punishing those who do evil."

The first thought that comes to players’ minds when they hear this is definitely the control intensity of the instance over players passing the level. If this process is part of passing, those who show "disrespect to the Goddess" might end up receiving "special treatment," like that player just now.

This understanding made the players present all have a darkened expression.

"Is the Goddess still alive?" Huang Mao exclaimed differently from the rest, "How old is she then?"

The local person speaking with him rolled their eyes, not wanting to say much, while A Hai said, "The Goddess is a deity; the Holy Land Goddess Temple worships her statue, she coexists with heaven and earth, and there is no such thing as an age."

Viewing the Goddess as an ordinary person to comment on was clearly disrespectful.

"Apologies, apologies." Huang Mao hurriedly apologized, then said, "I thought I’d be able to see the Goddess if I went to the Holy Land Goddess Temple."

"Ordinary people cannot see the Goddess; only devout believers favored by the Goddess will receive guidance." A Hai answered, "But you Outer Zone people, it doesn’t matter if you don’t believe in the Goddess Church; we don’t have extreme religious practices here. Faith is a personal freedom. As long as you don’t break the law or harm others, you can also preach at the Holy Land Goddess Temple."

"Is that possible?" Huang Mao rubbed his chin, "This Goddess is too generous, isn’t she!"

An official smiled as they chimed in, "The Goddess pities all beings, just a different faith, not a bad person; surely she will bless you as well."

Broad and open religious doctrines are common, but it’s rare to find religious believers who are so open-minded. Generally, one wouldn’t go to advocate their religion in front of someone else’s highest belief, as this would typically be considered an intrusion or a provocation.

"If that’s the case, the Goddess Church is worth believing in." Huang Mao said, "Nowadays, there aren’t many normal people in the world, let alone a normal God."

The line soon reached them; when A Hai came over with two certificates, Huang Mao followed, saying he could help carry people.

A Hai hurried to thank him.

After moving Xu Huo down from the steps, Huang Mao repeatedly looked at the eye emblem in his hand, "It doesn’t seem special to me; what about you?"

"Same for me." Xu Huo glanced at the certificate in his hand.

"Then the instance boss this time is too formidable." Huang Mao said, "I wonder what the final clearing task is; hidden conditions in front, better not get a critical hit only at the Holy Land Goddess Temple."

From his words, it seemed the specifics of the instance wouldn’t be fully revealed until reaching the Holy Land Goddess Temple. Xu Huo paused and said, "At least it’s better than the person who left before."

Being attacked by what is suspected to be the instance boss’s power, maybe at the time, it’s just about striking the first troublesome bird.

"It’s good to have someone as a forerunner." Huang Mao thought open-mindedly, proactively pushing Xu Huo, "Come, come, we’re now going to the Divine Temple in Purple Lake City!"
