The moment he opened the door, Su Ming was even ready to fight the kidnappers head-on.

His stamina is very low, and he only needs to spend it a little to meet the conditions for [Sailing Special Saved-Saving Canned Spinach] to increase his strength.

But the room was empty.

"There's no one here either?"

Open the other two rooms, and there is still no one.

He was back in the first room, this time with nothing else distracting, and he could safely take a closer look.

Soon, his eyes were drawn to something on the table not far away.

It was something like a diary, but it looked like it had been there for a long time, and it was a little rotten.

When he walked over to open it and was about to check it, the system immediately popped up a message.

【Attention! You've found a story item! In the scene, players can view the attributes of any item, but only items with special functions and story items will actively pop up the properties panel! 】

[Name: Mystery Diary]

[Genre: Drama related]

[Quality: Garbage]

[Function: None]

[Notes: I don't know who wrote it, but when he left these words, his mind must have been filled with memories of fear and pain.] 】

"Story items will also be actively prompted, so this is to prevent players from missing important clues to the level at some point......"

Su Ming glanced at the information on the panel, and then opened the tattered diary.

Sure enough, as shown on the panel, the journal was almost completely rotten, and much of the content in it was blurry or the pages were missing.

And the words that can be seen and the information revealed are all bad memories as mentioned in the notes.

“…… He said that yesterday I did not tell him his real age and name, which disappointed him, he said that I would have let me go if I didn't lie, and he said that I was not a good child, so I had to ......"

“…… I'm so hungry, but I only have one meal a day, I really regret that I didn't eat more before, if I had eaten more before, maybe it wouldn't be so uncomfortable now......"

“…… Damn it! I almost ran away today, if it weren't for the dog...... He said that if I dared to run away again, he would kill me directly, who would save me......"

“…… Today he drank again and forgot to lock it, I don't know if he deliberately tried to trick me into going up, maybe he was already waiting for me with a whip, but I was so hungry that I couldn't stand it, I wanted to go up and eat......"

“…… I don't know why he treated me like this, tormenting me every day and starving me, but luckily I don't have any other activities every day except writing a diary, and the consumption is relatively small......"

“…… It's over, I've waited so long, the newspapers have said from the beginning that they will definitely catch him and get me out, and now the section on this matter is getting smaller and smaller, and they still don't know who he is......"

“…… There was no more information about my disappearance in the newspaper he brought me today, and I was completely abandoned......"

“…… Whoever is going to save me, he actually said that he wants to treat me as his child, I must be crazy, no, he is crazy, who is going to save me, please......"

“…… Here's the opportunity...... I'm going to ...... today."

This is the end of the diary, and there may be some content behind it, but it is completely unclear.

The diary itself is not too thick, and the content is intermittent, but Su Ming can also see that this should also be a victim who has been kidnapped and imprisoned.

"It's a little strange, judging from the time history and content, this shouldn't be left by the first five victims, right?"

The owner of this diary seems to have been imprisoned for a long time, which is completely different from the kind of people who only keep it for a few days and then be killed.

But some of these encounters are very similar to theirs, such as a meal every day, the newspaper he saw on the first day that published the disappearance of "himself", such as the dog in the yard.

"Did the kidnappers kidnap anyone else before me and the five victims?"

Su Ming's brows furrowed, and he didn't understand the meaning of the information in this "plot item" for a while.

Anything that doesn't belong to the player can't fit into the inventory, but he's already written down all the information in this journal.

Searched the room again, but found nothing more useful.

He decides to leave the house first and try it out to see if he can complete the main quest.

Leaving this room, Su Ming returned to the hall and couldn't help but sigh, this place and the following are really exactly the same.

He also compared his memories to confirm that the occult symbols carved on the walls were identical to those underneath.

The biggest difference is that there is no telephone, only five graves, and no people.

Also, there's an extra door that every house should have, a door.

"What the hell is this place, could it be that this is the real world?"

He turned and walked to the door of the house.

With a slight turn of the doorknob, the door opens.

It was dark and quiet outside.

It seems that it is not just a simple "night", it is the kind of darkness that there is no other light source at all, the kind of dead silence that there is no sound at all.

When the light from his phone shone through, he saw a fenced yard outside, and the floor of the yard was covered with turf.

But the strange thing is that the light can't reach the area outside the yard, or something, blocking the light in the area of this house.

He couldn't see beyond the house and the yard, as if there was only one room in the world.

Obviously, this is not the real world.

Taking a photo with his mobile phone, Su Ming saw a small room on the side of the door, like a kennel.

He walked over to inspect it, and could still see the dog bowl and dog hair inside, but there were no dogs.

"It's more like the real world here than it is below, everything here is more real than it is below, there is a gate in the house, there is a diary written by the victim on the table, there is a kennel in the yard......"

With more and more doubts, Su Ming walked towards the edge of the house.

It was pitch black outside, it was so pure darkness that he couldn't see anything, not even the light.

Su Ming picked up a handful of turf with soil from the ground and threw it directly towards the darkness in front of him.

But the turf fell straight off the edge of the fence as if it had hit some kind of flat and vertical transparent wall.

Taking out the wooden sword that could damage the spirit from the inventory, Su Ming poked it tentatively, but was still blocked by the unknown darkness.

It's weird, it's weird.

Su Ming couldn't understand what the reason was, if this was not the real world, why could he come in, but if this was the real world, why was it blocked by this weird darkness?

"Since you can't get out, the kidnappers aren't here, and the items related to the plot have been found, so let's go back first."

This time, he found more information, but not only did it not solve the previous doubts, but it increased, which made him a little crying and laughing.

However, he already had some vague guesses in his mind about this scene, but more information was needed to verify it.

All the way down the stairs back to the basement here, looking at the five small mounds in front of him, Su Ming had an idea in his heart.

"Anyone?" He shouted at the mound.

No one responded to him.

This reassured him, and Su Ming directly took the wooden sword and aimed it at the first mound and began to dig.

He wanted to see if the first five victims were really buried in the grave in this seemingly real, but in fact false world.

Soon, the first mound was hollowed out.

Empty.

The next four mounds were all dug up.

It's still empty.

"So, is the mound just a symbol......

Su Ming smiled, he seemed to understand what was going on in this scene.

Just wait for tomorrow's phone call and everything will be revealed.
