Tang Lily...... He's dead.

Qin Manjiang was stunned.

After receiving the text message, she rushed over as fast as she could, but she still died.

The lower half of the body fell to the floor, drenched in blood, and extremely miserable.

She was so alive just a few minutes ago.

A strong self-blame appeared in the bottom of Qin Manjiang's heart.

The thought of "I hurt her" kept swirling in my mind.

They asked themselves, since Yang recommended this job, Qin Manjiang didn't take Yang's "unformed" weird talk too seriously, he came to earn money with a relaxed and happy attitude.

Even though there was a terrifying atmosphere tonight that was beyond his expectations, he still felt that it would not be so serious.

However, the facts are in front of you, a girl who is about to start a new stage of her life died at the hands of a powerful ghost.

"Hum—"

A strong heart season appeared in Qin Manjiang's heart.

He looked down at the permanent item he was holding in his hand, the Child's World (Fucheng).

Suddenly, a wave of anger surged into his heart, and Qin Manjiang smashed it to the ground!

"Bang-"

The phone-like strange creation flicked a few times on the ground, but the next moment, Qin Manjiang found that his body was acting on his own!

What's going on?

The legs and feet stepped away uncontrollably, moving forward step by step, Qin Manjiang tried his best to stop it, but it was still moving forward.

Stop it......

Stop me!

Qin Manjiang shouted in his heart.

However, his body had already bent down, and he reached out to pick up the child's world.

The cold touch came again, and Qin Manjiang's gaze was forcibly fixed on the children's world.

His finger reached for the screen, and when he touched it, the screen lit up.

Followed by...... Lines of text pop up quickly.

[Strange Talk: Lost Things...... Formed. 】

[Number of Raided Spirit Children: One.] 】

[Scope: Bai Hong Building.] 】

[Difficulty Assessment: Easy (Adapted to Novice Levels)]

[Searching for a spirit child adaptor.] 】

[If the search is successful, do you release a novice mission and recruit new players?] 】

Qin Manjiang watched without any ability to resist as his fingers slowly stretched out and clicked towards the [Yes] button.

How so?

Why is my body moving on its own?

Qin Manjiang had never been so frightened, he was completely unable to control his body, and he couldn't even feel that there were other consciousnesses in his body.

It's like a computer that obviously belongs to him, but suddenly a hacker has obtained higher privileges, and he can only watch the computer execute a bunch of strange instructions, but he can't do anything about it.

[The conscription begins, the Fucheng area, and the positioning of the spirit child adapters is ......]

[Positioning successful.] 】

[Name: Qiao Ziru.] 】

[Gender: Female. 】

[Age: 20 years old.] 】

[A newcomer level has been released.] 】

[Game starts: September 29, 6 p.m.] 】

Qin Manjiang watched all this dumbfounded, his fingers pretentiously clicked on the confirmation, created a brand new weird talk game, and then ...... A player was recruited.

And the weird game he fell into at the moment is dormant and escalating.

What the hell is this...... What's going on?

Tongjie (Fucheng), the role of this permanent item...... Could it be a backstage for the real Fucheng regional weirdness?

It wasn't until everything was over that Qin Manjiang took back control of his body.

He stood there in distraction, looking at Tang Baihe's broken corpse, and for a moment, he didn't know what he should do at all.

There's still tomorrow...... Tomorrow is September 29th, and a new game built by "him" is about to start tomorrow, and it is a new player recruited by this permanent item in his hand - Tongjie (Fucheng).

The name is ...... Joe is free.

Wait a minute......

Qin Manjiang stiffened, and an unbelievable premonition slowly crept into his heart, this name ...... Isn't it a squad leader?

Qiao Ziru, the class president when he was studying at Fucheng University!

She is very popular, boys call her class president, and most girls call her Xiaoru.

It can't be, it can't be hers.

Definitely not......

————

Fucheng University, study hall.

Joe was still studying in the study hall as usual, even though it was almost nine o'clock in the evening.

Although in everyone's eyes, she is a gentle, intelligent, empathetic, good grade, and thoughtful girl.

But only she knows that she is not smart.

All the results were achieved after I made efforts far beyond other students.

Qiao Ziru held his forehead with one hand, and outlined the book with a pen in the other.

The original family is fragmented, her parents have already formed a new family, and neither party cares much about her.

She didn't resent, Qiao Ziru knew very well the situation of her parents, and they couldn't come up with any money.

When her parents were not divorced, she remembered that she had been moving since she was a child, renting someone else's house, there was no heating in winter, and a family of three could only be warmed up by huddle together...... Money.

She was sensible very early, and after graduating from junior high school, she began to work on her own to earn money and work hard to pay her tuition.

Fortunately, she is diligent and studies hard enough, and with the help of scholarships and part-time jobs, it is no longer a problem to support herself and provide for her own education.

Therefore, she did not dare to relax for a moment, as if as soon as she stopped, she would return to the leaky rental house, shivering in the cold weather.

Only studying can give her a sense of security.

In the study room, everyone has gone back one after another, and now there are only a few people left.

Qiao Ziru picked up his phone and glanced at the time, nine o'clock in the evening.

Let's go back to the dormitory and take a look, it will be bad if the door is closed outside.

Qiao Ziru just put down his phone, but suddenly found a strange sign on his phone-

A pair of spiral boy holes?

There is also an exaggerated smiling mouth underneath.

This is...... Grimace, right? I don't know why, but the grimace on this software icon makes her look hairy.

What kind of software is it? When have I ever downloaded this software?

Joe was surprised.

When was it implanted by malvertising?

She thought about it, but couldn't remember why the software appeared, so she pressed it and prepared to uninstall it.

However, something strange happened, as soon as her finger pressed it, it only touched the screen slightly, and the grimacing grimace spread and distorted like ripples in the water, and all the pictures melted into the black background.

Instead, there are two short bloody texts:

[Code:]

Is it a game?

Qiao Ziru understood this software at this time, she is a person who doesn't play any games at all, and she is ready to forcibly quit this software.

However, whether she touched it to return or forced it to shut down, it didn't work?

Qiao Ziru didn't notice at all that at this moment, the other students in the study room had all left, and she was the only one left.

In the empty and dark corridor of the teaching building, a cold wind blew in.

Joe shuddered.

Isn't it impossible to quit without following its requirements?

That......

All right.

Qiao Ziru tried to write two words in the [Codename] column-

Freely.

[Code: Ziru.] 】

The word "free" seems to sink into the water, quickly swallowed up by the dark screen.

Then, lines of blood-colored font popped up!

[Personal mode, on.] (Clearing the game will unlock the multiplayer mode)]

[Strange Talk: Lost Things.] 】

[Baihong Building, Fucheng Central District, there have been some strange things recently. 】

[There are employees who can always hear footsteps, sometimes on the ceiling, sometimes in the corridor after work, sometimes in the toilet, sometimes in the elevator car. 】

[The footsteps are slow, wandering back, as if looking for something.] 】

[Maybe you're looking for something.] 】
