It had been five days since Lu Ran came into contact with the [Road to Hell].

There has been no follow-up to the news about the destruction of the antique shop reported on television, and it is not known whether there is no progress from the police or no further follow-up announcement is said to have been classified as a matter of secrecy.

However, Lu Ran searched for information on the Internet and confirmed that this was indeed the case!

In other words, the tasks given by [Hell Road] are all real things that happened in real life, and you can go directly to the place of the incident through the game software.

During this time, Lu Ran also conducted further in-depth investigations into the game.

First of all, by asking 'Caron' to get a special QR code, and download it by scanning it on your mobile phone to get the name [Hell Road APP], but this mobile phone application does not have the function of entering the game, but it is convenient for Lu Ran to query his own information at any time There is also a forum attached, which is intended to help novices get started quickly.

In the top section of the forum, there is a "must-see post for newbies".

It reads as follows:

Congratulations to all of you on your certification and on your official journey to the scorched earth of hell.

In order to help newcomers adapt to this tyrannical, bloody, fearful, and painful world more quickly, this post will lead you rookies to understand some of the most basic rules.

Rule 1: "Aging"

Since you have been chosen and become "prisoners" through your own efforts, you naturally cannot continue to be as bald as ordinary people.

In order to avoid a 'negative' situation, those who do not perform the tasks related to the [Hell Road] within [three months] will have their bodies aged at a thousandfold rate, and this rule is invalid for those who have reached the status of "Gold" or above.

Rule 2: "Leakage"

It is forbidden to divulge information about the Path to Hell in any way, including the prisoner's negligent disclosure.

Once found, erase it directly.

In addition, it is forbidden to talk to other unrelated prisoners about the tasks you have been taught, and if such incidents occur, they will be punished with 'confinement' or above, depending on the severity of the incident.

Rule 3: "Random"

Hellmurder-related missions are full of randomness, and they don't have to be completed according to the rules, and those who achieve the mission objectives in an alternative way, or complete the mission through a hidden condition, are very likely to get additional rewards and unexpected opportunities.

The above are the three most important points that novices need to pay attention to, there is a real mechanism about the [Road to Hell], if you want to write it all, I am afraid it will take hundreds of thousands of words, I believe that you prisoners can gradually understand it in the process of your growth.

After talking about the most basic precautions, I will explain how to receive the "murder of hell".

Maybe you newbies have some misunderstandings, it's not easy to log in to the game and take on tasks at will.

In addition to certification tasks, the system will automatically assign tasks to you. Most of the future "Hell Murders" will need to be 'activated' on their own.

When you encounter 'unnatural phenomena' or 'strange individuals' in your life, you need to collect relevant evidence and upload it to [Hell Road], and the system will analyze the evidence.

Once confirmed, the system will automatically make the event a "Hell Murder" and activate the game.

Rookies, you need to be careful if the difficulty given in the game is high, or even extremely high! It is recommended that you choose to give up and post the "Hell Murder" to the forums to earn a small transfer fee. Because the difficulty evaluation of the game is based on the individual himself, the objective evaluation. High difficulty, for you, is basically nine deaths.

Finally, I would like to explain to all newbies that as for the origin of the [Hell Road], I, a veteran prisoner, don't know either, so you don't have to bother with this, it's a complete waste of time.

This novice post deepened Lu Ran's understanding of the [Road to Hell].

At the same time, Lu Ran also checked the murder tasks transferred by other prisoners through the forum, for Lu Ran, a black iron rookie who has just started, these "hell murders" are all marked in red, and the difficulty is "extremely high".

And the transfer fee is not real money, but something called an 'ancient gold coin'.

Lu Ran estimated that this should be the special game currency in [Hell Road], which was obtained by completing the murder mission, and he naturally didn't have a dime.

Regarding the restriction that 'three months' must perform a mission, Lu Ran has become uneasy.

After this series of events and the changes in his back, Lu Ran fully believed that this game could have an impact on the physical body...... He didn't want to die of old age like this, if nothing strange happened in the past half a month, Lu Ran was ready to take leave to try his luck in some haunted holy places.

…………

Officially entering the third year of high school, both the course schedule and after-school homework seem to be nervous.

On the second day of school, Lu Ran, who had just finished his morning reading, received a text message...... The parents of the businessman went home, and at noon the mother cooked at home, and the father personally drove Lu Ran back for a trip.

When father and son met, they didn't feel like they had been together for a long time...... Since Lu Ran's junior high school, his parents have often gone far away, usually returning home every three months or so.

"Dad, how long will you and Mom stay at home this time?"

"Half a month, when we leave, I will transfer a little living expenses to Han Shiwan."

"Okay, just improve my life and Sister Wan'er."

During the drive, my father suddenly touched his purse, "Anyway, is there anything you particularly want this time?" ”

"During the third year of high school, there was a lot of pressure to study, and I didn't have anything I wanted for the time being."

"Take it, and if you need something at school, buy it yourself. This is given to you privately by my father, and it is not included in the living expenses. ”

A stack of banknotes was stuffed into Lu Ran's hand, and it was estimated from the thickness that it was at least 5,000 yuan.

As for how Lu Ran used the money, his parents never ignored it.

…………

The community where Lu Ran's parents' house is located, a little farther away from the school, is also a mid-range modern elevator community. The parents' choice to run a business abroad for a long time is naturally because of a certain business opportunity, which makes the income of the two couples several times that of the local part-time workers, and they have also had smooth sailing over the years.

"Wow, it smells so good! Mom, we're back. ”

As soon as he pushed the door open, the familiar fragrance soaked into Lu Ran's nasal cavity, and his mother's craftsmanship remained unchanged.

"Okay, let's get ready for dinner...... Next time, call Han Shiwan over, this little girl has to take care of you every day, it's very hard. ”

Lu Ran couldn't help muttering: "I'm almost ...... take care of her."

Just when the delicious dishes were served, Lu Ran suddenly found that there was an extra 'thing' at home.

In a relatively conspicuous position on the TV stand, a beautifully crafted doll is placed.

Female, fair-skinned, long-haired, light white hanfu.

The reason why it is described as 'weird' is because the puppets are too realistic...... Moreover, the hanging arm is somewhat twisted, and the palm is turned outward.

Lu Ran was very interested in the horror element, but he was extra repulsed by this puppet.

"Mom...... Where did this doll come from? ”

"Huh? This is a good thing I stumbled upon in the market when I was out on a business trip with your dad...... Isn't it exquisite? ”

"It's exquisite, but it feels weird."

When Lu Ran's mother brought the dishes to the table, she said with a smile: "What's strange?" Isn't it good? ”

Since his mother liked it, Lu Ran didn't say anything more, and the family talked and laughed and had a sumptuous lunch.

Since his home was a little far away from the school, Lu Ran planned to go back to school early not long after eating, so that his father, who had just returned from other provinces, would stay at home and have a good rest.

"I'm going to school!"

Just as Lu Ran changed his shoes and turned around to say goodbye to his parents, his body trembled suddenly.

On the TV stand, the figure that was supposed to be facing the sofa changed direction at some point...... Lu Ran, who was facing the door, even looked at a line.

A chill swept through Lu Ran's body.

"This ......"

The mother suddenly stepped out, just standing between Lu Ran and the puppet, waving goodbye to him.

When the mother walked away, the puppet was facing the couch again.

At this moment, Lu Ran, who was standing at the door of his house, had a strange feeling.

It feels like the whole family is permeated with a layer of weirdness, and the source of this weirdness is the puppet that my mother bought.

At the same time, there was a burning sensation from Lu Ran's back, and one hand touched his back and the other closed the door.

"Let's take a closer look...... Hopefully I'm just thinking too much. ”
