A distant voice rang out in the silent world

【Countdown Begins】

【Start Running】

It seems to come from the heart of all things.

moment

Fallen leaves in the air flutter in the wind.

The crows in the branches hissed.

The dust in the air forms pillars of light in the gaps where the sunlight passes through the leaves.

Everything that was frozen at the end of time began to revive in this voice.

……

Luthor regained consciousness from the chaos.

Slowly opened his eyes, his body was as heavy as lead.

The stiff back of his neck was moist to the touch, and his occipital bone was tingling.

He raised his hand and touched the back of his neck, his hand was blood-red, the stinging pain in the back of his head reminded him that there was a four-centimeter wound to take him care for, the cold air penetrated deep into his nose, and his chest was cold, as if he was waking up from a sleeping door in chaos.

"Who am I?"

"Where is this?"

It's like a mechanical question, and it's like a deep whisper.

"I'm ...... Luther"

"I'm ...... Ahh

A tingling pain came

The pain made his head buzz, and his consciousness seemed to be beaten with a hammer, like the sound of an electric current echoing in his ears.

Distant synthesized sounds come to mind like a modern man looking at a medieval castle.

"Zizi...... Zizi ......"

[Player Luthor enters the sandbox]

[Sandbox Closed]

"Zizi..."

Like a pulse piercing the dura mater to stimulate the brainstem, it is accompanied by violent convulsions, the sound is chopped, and the command is broken.

"Who's talking?"

"Who?"

"Come out!"

The voice in my head stopped abruptly.

Leaning slowly against the rusty fence, resisting the urge to vomit, he looked up.

Fallen leaves all over the ground

Fences covered with rust

There are also broken vines on the fence

Lush weeds grew wildly, merry-go-rounds fell to the ground like overturned blocks, rust eroded the swings under the trees, swaying in the cold wind, and making a harsh grinding sound.

This is supposed to be an abandoned park

"How did I get here?"

"Where is this?"

I...

Luther looked down at her body as her brain turned.

The slender and white hands have a layer of shiny calluses at the wrists.

Worn-out layman's boots, with some wear on the outside of the toe cap, and the ink on the cowhide seems to tell the age of the boot.

Cargo pants, lots of pockets, as if there was something in them.

A pocket flashlight

A fountain pen, but it seems to be out of ink

There are also three slices of chewing gum

A roll of transparent silk thread (like a fishing line)

A short dagger less than half a foot long (the back of the dagger is a little worn serration)

A wallet, but there are only a few bills in it except for the passport

There seem to be three pieces of paper with words written in the mezzanine

Flip through the paper.

First Piece of Paper: A month ago, the church priest in red died suddenly and violently, and the pentagram was found on the floor of his house painted in blood. Half a month later, the second priest of the church also died in the room, and the wall was also made of blood to form an inverted cross. "The Devil Descended" enveloped the entire Esbode for a while, and people's hearts were panicked.

The second piece of paper: Esbod originated from mythology, the incarnation of the gods was seduced by demons, sealed in Esbod with seven evil hearts, because the breath of evil and holiness meets, there will be visions every night, the ancestors built a phoenix altar in the city center, and used seven strange stones of different colors along the river through Esbod, since then Esbod has become a desirable place to live.

The third piece of paper: "The Devil Descends" has terrified the whole of Esbo, as a "traveler with a sense of justice", please find Old Jack at the Queen's Road Fire Bar, and he will guide you to defeat evil.

This is?

Game?

Am I in the game?

"Zizi.."

[Current Scene: Descending the Seven Sons]

【Current Location: Scandinavian Town Esbode】

[Main Quest 1: Survive to Day 7]

[Main Quest 2: Investigate the Truth of the Coming Seven Sons Incident]

[Main quest 3: Not opened]

[Mission time: 7 days]

【Difficulty ★★☆】

"Descending the Seventh Son?"

"Games?"

"When did I come in?"

Damn it!

Memories are like a broken stream, and like a cut cake.

Follow the memory

The last thing Luthor could think of.

Open the latest generation of Conqueror head infiltration helmets yourself, and ... And then

It seems like a pop-up window appears

Do you accept an invitation to the sandbox?

Accept/Decline

I accepted it in a daze.

Afterward?

Luthor couldn't remember what happened next, and it seemed that after clicking accept, his brain buzzed, and his eyes went black.

It's just getting into the game, why does it hurt so much?

Luthor touched the back of his head.

The body gradually returned to normal and the pain in the back of the head was relieved.

It's not like a normal game!

Hurry up and get out!

"Menu!"

Luther thought silently.

Suddenly there was a snowflake in front of me, and a distant electronic synthesized sound sounded.

[Failed to open menu]

[Failed to open menu]

[Trying to link...... Link failed...... The sandbox is closed...... The Sandbox is closed]

"Damn it!"

The menu can't be opened, which makes yourself how to quit the game!

[Sandbox Closed]

[Sandbox Closed]

I just clicked to accept the invitation of the sandbox, why did I enter such a scene?

Can't quit the game, what to do!

What the hell is this?

Be all abroad!

Exit, quit!

Damn, what to do!

That's right!

Helmet......

There is a force exit button on the back of the helmet!

Luthor reached for the back of his neck, but there was no touch of a helmet-attached button.

I remember that the sales staff of the helmet at that time also warned him that once the logout game failed, there would be a button-like touch on the back of his neck, which could force him to log out of the game, but now there is nothing behind his neck...

There seems to be another wound.

There were dried blood stains on the hands, and the wounds had begun to scab over.

"This is? Why can't I quit? ”

"What the hell is going on!"

"Am I in the game or in reality?"

Looking back on memories is like a glacier that has been cut off.

As if touching the forbidden area, a chill spread from the back of his head, and in an instant the upper half of his body was paralyzed, and an indescribable headache invaded Luther. It seems to want to warn him in this way that missing memories = God's forbidden area.

"Where is this?!"

"Why am I here....ah~ah!"

"Is it a crossing? Or is it a game? ”

"But why can't I remember?"

An eerie synthesized sound echoed in my ears

But I can't remember when I entered the game

If it weren't for the game, why everything was so weird, the wounds that healed quickly, the oppressive environment, the synthesized sounds that lingered in my ears.

It should be in the game.

Tightened his clothes, and the cold wind was so real that he was skeptical of his perception in the game.

The blood scabs at your fingertips, the cold wind that went into your throat, it's all so real, and the damn headache!

"Where the hell am I? Let me quit."

Luther howled.

People always have a strange hostility towards things that they are not prepared for, and the fear of the unknown makes his whole body adrenaline rush.

Memory.

Cracks in memory! Blank spaces, unfamiliar environments, dreams or realities?

Luthor is surrounded by sudden fear at the moment, he is an ordinary person who uses the game to escape the cruelty of reality, and he wears a helmet with hope but comes here unintentionally, and he can't exit the game!

Could there be any worse than this?

Luthor didn't know that he was in a mess at this point.

It's like a small animal that has just come out of Longtan and entered the tiger's den, with hope for the future, it suddenly has a bloody mouth.

"Didi.. Didi"

"Alert! Alert! ”

"Drops. Drip! ”

[Countdown: 6 days, 23 hours, 59 minutes, 58 seconds]

Or the electronic synthesized sound that seems to be far away, the sound of the current that pulses interfere with, like a statue standing at the end of time, untouched by the eternity and loneliness of the world.

Moment

Irritability and restlessness take over the whole body

What the hell is this game?

I'm quitting!

Let me quit!

"Ahh Ahh

Luthor looked up to the sky and roared, he didn't know why it was like this, if he were asked to choose again, he would definitely not accept it.

"What the hell am I going to do to quit!"

【Task Execution Forced Mode】

【Complete the mission to exit the game】

"Don't go, come back"

"What the hell is this game!"

The synthesized voice was silent, silent like a sleeping snowman, no matter how Luthor called.

Mandatory tasks?

Finish to exit?

Why is this happening?

You can only quit the game if you complete the mission.

But there was no one to answer him, the synthesized sound became silent, and in the dilapidated park, the cold wind hit, and Luthor stood alone in a corner of the park, like a silent traveler. Like a lonely child.

He sat quietly

Thoughts wander back to that icy season.

That day

He was fired from the company

Full of hesitation ready to talk to his girlfriend

but got the blessing of breaking up

"Luthor you're a good person, but we're not suitable, I wish you a better one in the future..."

Lost and bought a helmet that the conqueror infiltrated to paralyze himself

However, when entering, he inadvertently accepted the invitation to the sandbox

"I@##¥%"

He cursed at the dense dark clouds

It's useless, the game goes on!

A string of times appears in the upper right corner of the line of sight

[Countdown: 6 days, 23 hours, 54 minutes, 25 seconds]

Hell game!

Vicious curse a hundred times the author of the game.

But there is nothing that can be done about the situation at the moment, the game... Game.

"Wake up... Wake up... Luther! ”

"Getting the job done is the first thing!"

Silently remind yourself.

……

Ditch distractions and focus on the game itself.

Change your task to:

[Main Quest 1: Kill the real culprit in the church case]

[Main Quest 2: Investigate the Truth of the Coming Seven Sons Incident]

[Main quest 3: Prevent the end of the town from coming]

"Descending the Seven Sons? Could it be a Final Fantasy Advent Sons game? Abandoned parks, the style of buildings in the distance, the style of Northern Europe, no smoking chimneys, school warning signs? Pedestrian crossing lines? It should be a Nordic city, a suburb and something like that, sparsely populated. ”

"The real murderer of the murder of the church? Is it a human or a monster? Is the end of the town coming? ”

"It's a mess!"

Not a clue

The first time I entered the game, I was met with a five-star hellish difficulty.

Luther pouted

I can't tell if I feel bitter.

Pull out the piece of paper in your pocket

"Queen's Road, Agni Bar..."

"Is it a beginner's guide?"

"Hope you can help me!"

I'm in a game world called The Sandbox

If the game connection is faulty, you can't log out of the game, and you can only finish by clearing the game.

There are no accessibility features that are available in the game.

There aren't any cheats.

The feel of the game is close to reality.

The degree of restoration is very high, and a 2 cm long scar on the palm of the hand can be completely simulated! The fingers caressing the scar, the subtle friction, and the hard keratin feel real like reality.

The wound on the back of the neck had healed just now, and it looked normal except for a few dark red blood crusts.

The old scars on his body are all there, and the wound on the back of his neck has healed, indicating that the recovery from injuries in the game should also be quick. As he spoke, he took out the dagger and slashed lightly on his arm, and a very shallow wound appeared, and before the blood could seep out, both sides of the wound began to redden, and a bloody scab appeared. And all this in less than five minutes.

I need to complete the task and find the truth in this place that is no different from reality.

A challenge that was forced to participate?

so

"Game on" – Luther

……

……

When Luthor stepped into this world, the sky of Ace was clouded.

The sandbox is an invisible pair of hands in the night, pushing him into a whirlpool.

It's like a subway loaded with passengers, driving on the brink of fall.

……
