Chapter 1 The Mysterious Pendant
The old roller shutter door was slowly pulled up, making a sharp creaking sound, and a thick musty smell stimulated the nose a little uncomfortable, Wang Xuan pinched his nose tightly with one hand, and kept fanning the air with the other hand, so as not to suck a lot of flying dust into his mouth.
"Ahem~ Sure enough, it's a person who went to the empty building! It's only been more than three years, and it looks like it's been abandoned for a long time!" Wang Xuan couldn't help but feel great as he looked at the familiar things in front of him being covered in thick dust, and the corners of the room were covered with cobwebs.
Wang Xuan's family used to open a mahjong parlor, and the business was not bad, when he was in junior high school, he would come here to help his parents look after school, so it can be said that Wang Xuan stayed here much longer than at home.
It's a pity that the good times didn't last long, and it was their family's bad luck, in an accident, two people quarreled because of a dispute over money, one of them because he had a heart disease, his tone was excited for a while, and he was actually angry to death!
Let's not talk about how unfortunate this matter is, because of the death, the mahjong parlor business is ironclad and can't continue, and the government will deal with it, and directly ask Wang Xuan's family to compensate 80,000 yuan to the family, otherwise they will go to prison.
At that time, Wang Xuan's parents used up their savings in order to buy this store, and the mahjong business had only been done for a long time, and they didn't make much money, 80,000 yuan was also a lot of money for ordinary families, so they had to borrow money from relatives and make up the fine.
After that incident, Wang Xuan's parents originally wanted to rent out the storefront, but who would dare to ask for a store that had killed someone! In the end, in desperation, they had to abandon the store, and they chose to go out to work to pay off their debts.
The originally happy family of three was left with Wang Xuan alone at home because of an accident, although he was in school most of the time in high school, but when he came home, he was faced with an empty house, Wang Xuan always felt empty in his heart.
Coming back from those unpleasant memories in the past, Wang Xuan carefully flipped through some of the objects kept here, and after a while, his hands were covered with dust, as for why he came back here, it was purely bored at home, and he wanted to come here to find his childhood memories.
In addition to some dilapidated tables and chairs, there was a wooden cabinet painted with red paint in the corner, Wang Xuan was overjoyed, he remembered that he had many toys in it.
Slowly opening the drawer, marbles, Yu-Gi-Oh cards, and other things are still intact, but many things are moldy and rotten due to the dampness.
"Hey, it's a pity! I still want to take it back as a souvenir!" Wang Xuan sighed, and was about to pull the drawer up, when he suddenly felt a sense of excitement, as if he was shivering.
Wang Xuan subconsciously looked behind him, empty, nothing, and felt a little weird, "What's the situation?
Scratching his head, Wang Xuan was a little confused, and went to rummage through other objects, but there was nothing worth taking back, so he planned to go back directly.
As soon as he walked to the door, Wang Xuan's feet froze, feeling as if he had stepped on something, and he slowly lifted his feet, and a pendant with exquisite workmanship appeared in front of him.
"Hmm, this pendant is very good-looking, why don't you have any impressions, is this my old thing?" Wang Xuan picked up the lilac pendant, under the reflection of the sunlight, it was exquisitely clear, and the internal structure was clearly visible, as if it was carved from crystal.
The shape of the pendant resembles a building, Wang Xuan took a closer look, and found that the already small area was actually engraved with a few words, which were clearly visible in the sunlight - Supernatural Museum!
Wang Xuan held the pendant in his hand, felt the slightest coolness, and it was very comfortable to touch, he only cared about marveling at the magic of the carving art, but he didn't notice that the roller shutter door had slid down some distance due to rust, and he had to bend down to pass.
Wang Xuan's attention was completely attracted by the beautifully crafted pendant in his hand, so he crashed into the roller shutter door in a daze, his forehead was scratched, and blood slowly seeped out from under the skin and dripped onto the pendant in his hand.
"Ouch! it hurts me to death!" Wang Xuan pressed his forehead with his hand, gasping for cold air, grinning in pain!
Successfully found the host, the supernatural museum system began to bind......] A strange electronic sound suddenly appeared in Wang Xuan's head, and before he could react, a sharp pain struck, as if it was about to tear his brain apart, Wang Xuan screamed and fell heavily to the ground, unconscious.
......
", what's wrong with me today?" Wang Xuan slowly woke up, his head was still a little painful, he touched his forehead, and was surprised to find that the wound left after the previous collision was gone!
Wang Xuan got up slowly, but the scene in front of him made his whole person even more messy, because he was lying on the sofa in the living room, "My mother, I'm not in the store, why did I come back?
Sitting on the sofa in a daze, Wang Xuan's mood couldn't calm down for a long time, he didn't believe that he came back from sleepwalking, because he clearly remembered the sound that appeared in his head before he fell unconscious.
"Museum of the Occult...... System?" Wang Xuan picked up the ink-colored pendant, and at this moment the sky had gradually darkened, but the mysterious pendant emitted a faint ghostly light.
"Buzz~" The mobile phone that was placed aside suddenly began to vibrate, startling Wang Xuan.
Wang Xuan thought that the alarm clock he had set went off, so he took the phone over and took a look, and found that it was not the sound of the alarm clock, but a strange application.
"The Museum of the Occult, is this fishing software, or is it related to that mysterious pendant!" Wang Xuan clicked on the application with a skeptical attitude.
[Pu Songling's "Strange Tales from Liaozhai" unveiled the tip of the iceberg of the supernatural world, and later generations expressed their curiosity and yearning for the supernatural world by shooting movies! When the movie world becomes a reality, how will you, as a plot character, choose? Is it cowardly to escape or bravely face it? Are you ready to start this bizarre and wonderful journey?]
After reading this paragraph, Wang Xuan only felt that it was a bit imaginative, how could the movie world become a reality!
"This should be a VR app, I just bought a pair of glasses not long ago, why don't you click in and have a look?" With a little curiosity, Wang Xuan clicked in, and then a new interface appeared.
[Host Wang Xuan, age 18

Materialization Progress 0/5]
Wang Xuan didn't understand it for a long time, but he was quite interested in converting the resentful spirit value into RMB, and he didn't know if it was true.
Hanging the pendant around his neck, Wang Xuan clicked on the novice task column that was constantly flashing.
[Beginner's Quest (1): Bathtub Game.]
Tools: longevity noodles, sesame oil for tribute, chicken blood
Location: Bathtub.
To show your sincerity to the gods, you must go into the bathroom naked and alone (you can't take it off in the bathroom, of course, there must be no one at home). After entering the bathroom, put the bowl containing the noodles in front of you, kowtow three times, pour sesame oil into the noodles, kowtow three more times, and finally pour the chicken blood into the bowl and kowtow three times. After hearing something, pour the chicken blood from the bowl into the bathtub.
Base Reward: 30 Wraith Points. 】
"This task is a bit interesting! Play horror games! Also reward 30 resentful spirit points, in exchange for 3000 yuan, I'll go, if this is true, then the company that developed this app is too rich!" Wang Xuan's courage has always been relatively big, which is all due to the influence of ghost movies and zombie movies since he was a child, so it is not difficult for him to make horror games!
"Why don't you give it a try?" Faced with the temptation of 3,000 yuan, Wang Xuan was a little moved, after all, his family's economic situation was not optimistic, his parents were working outside to pay off their debts, and it would be great if he could share some pressure for them!
"Let's give it a try! Anyway, it's just a game, and you won't suffer a loss! If it's true, you'll make a lot of money!" After Wang Xuan made up his mind, he accepted the task.
When playing the game for a while, Wang Xuan planned to take a picture with his mobile phone, even if it was fake to exchange the resentment value for RMB, he would post the video of the game on the Internet, maybe it would become popular, after all, it is now the era of rapid development of the Internet, everything is possible!
However, the bathtub is there, where can I find those things? The noodles are a small problem, what should I do with chicken blood and sesame oil? Wang Xuan began to make difficulties, he was patronizing the matter of thinking about money before, and he didn't pay attention to the tools column.
Just as Wang Xuan was about to give up, the mobile phone screen flashed again, and when he opened it, a paragraph appeared on the application interface.
[Everything is ready, please move to the bathroom and hurry up to start the game!]
"Damn, it's so amazing, everything is ready for me!" Wang Xuan twitched the corner of his mouth, and couldn't help but exclaim.
After all, the first time he played a horror game, even if he had the ability to bear it, Wang Xuan didn't dare to hold it up, he turned on all the lights in the room, gave himself courage, took a deep breath, calmed down his complicated feelings, stripped naked, and came to the bathroom with his mobile phone.
"If you want to strip naked to make a game, is there any special habit in this system?" Thinking of this, Wang Xuan couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.
Walking into the bathroom and seeing the neatly arranged tools next to the bathtub, Wang Xuan was a little confused, "This room is obviously just me, who put it?"
Wang Xuan shook his head vigorously, leaving his uneasy thoughts behind, "Don't think about it, maybe this app was created by alien technology! That's why it's so powerful! It can create things out of thin air!"
[Please hurry up and complete the novice task, the specified time of the task is 20 minutes, now start the countdown!] If the host does not complete the task within the specified time, it will be countered by the system, and the system will continue to look for the next host!]
After glancing at the time, only a few minutes had passed, Wang Xuan flushed his face with cold water, calmed himself down, tried to control his thoughts, and tried not to think about ghosts and gods.
"It's just a game, I can definitely do it! What kind of devouring and the like, it's just used to intimidate people! Don't care too much!" Wang Xuan kept giving himself psychological hints.
In accordance with the rules of the game, Wang Xuan gently closed the door and turned off the light, leaving only the faint light from the mobile phone reflected in the mirror in front of him.
Although all the lights outside the bathroom were turned on, in this small dark space, Wang Xuan felt extremely depressed, as if he was stuck in a quagmire and couldn't extricate himself.
