"A lamb cannot suppress the beating of his heart that is accelerated by fear."

Jiang Jiu no longer pretended to be unconscious when he heard this, and opened his eyes calmly, the old man who spoke in front of him was dressed as a medieval wizard, and the slender and withered fingers of his right hand hooked a cyan lantern - a piece of dust downloaded an uncomfortable white light.

After her eyes gradually adjusted, the scene in front of Jiang Jiuwei finally became clear—she found herself handcuffed to a rusty steel seat.

After several struggles to no avail, Jiang Jiu did not turn to look around, the lights in the wooden house were dim, but he could see that the space was cramped, and the only panel window hung on the side, and with the influx of cold wind, there was an uncomfortable hoarse sound.

The smell of damp wood shriveling in the air, coupled with the smell of iron around him, made Jiang Jiuwei frown unconsciously.

【Welcome to World Games】

"Huh?"

Jiang Jiu didn't roll her eyes, and found that this line of handwriting always remained in the center of her field of vision, and she dilated her pupils slightly, intending to wait and see what happened.

[This is heaven and hell]

[You can get everything you want to have, but if you are not careful, you will lose everything, including your life]

Jiang Jiuwei watched the handwriting in front of him gradually fade and disappear. The pale light enveloped her body again, and of course, that disgusting damp smell.

You are currently in a pre-level

[Pre-level: When players log in to different worlds, they will log in to the pre-level first, and according to the player's performance in the level, they can obtain the initial state, character identity, and related achievements.] 】

[Level Hint: Impressing the Wizard will make you pass the pre-level faster]

The old man in front of him took off the witch hat on his head that was twisted into the shape of a crow, threw it on the floor, revealing a pair of dark green eyes, and continued:

"You're a special lamb."

Jiang Jiuwei raised his eyebrows slightly, his mind turned, and he asked out loud:

"Is it the most special thing you've ever seen?"

The old witch in front of him didn't seem to expect her to reply, and the left hand that was playing with the wick paused, and then a smile that could not be called elegant opened at the corner of his mouth, squeezing out the folds on the old cheeks,

"There was a more special lamb before you, alas, alas, alas......"

Her eyes were a little obscure, and she vaguely guessed the bloody story behind those few words of "pity". Seeing that the grotesque old man in front of him could be communicated, Jiang Jiuwei calmed down, and then asked:

"Can I get out of here?"

"Leave?"

The old witch seemed to have heard something interesting, and his originally ugly smile became even more hideous, and his left hand tapped the lampshade excitedly, causing the blue-white flame to flicker and sway, and only when his hoarse laughter stopped, did he answer:

"If you get out of here, you'll die a more beautiful death."

Jiang Jiuwei lowered his head and looked at himself—it was still the unadorned hospital gown, with alternating stripes of white and gray, and the only thing that could be called beautiful was a timeless word "long" sewn on his chest.

She scoffed. The laughter was particularly harsh in the oppressive wooden house.

The old witch was slightly stunned, put the only light source in his hand on the wooden table on the side, leaned over, and looked carefully at Jiang Jiuwei's eyes.

"What are you laughing at?"

The corners of Jiang Jiuwei's mouth hooked a slight arc, and he said lightly:

"I laugh at my beautiful clothes."

At this point, her surroundings suddenly went dark, and the surrounding scenery gradually replaced by black walls—but the handwriting in front of her accelerated the flow of words.

[Status: "Special Lamb", "Murmur of the Pious"]

[Evaluation: An unexpected beginning, a newcomer worth looking forward to.] 】

Jiang Jiu didn't finish reading the long panel that suddenly appeared, and focused on the two strange "states".

The handwriting in front of him seemed to be sensible, and it was intimately explained.

[Any action taken by the player in the world has the potential to gain a "status", which will buff or detract from the player's abilities]

[Evaluation: Pure Prayer from Far Away]

Jiang Jiu didn't sweep the line of "wizard", pursed his lips, and didn't pay attention to it. But when her eyes slid over the "devout believer", she couldn't help but pause, and raised her voice to ask:

"Can I know where the status is coming from?"

[Insufficient permissions]

She frowned, her overly calm eyes flickered a few times, and before she could ask, the scene in front of her changed again.

[World Live has been opened]

[World Live: Everything that players experience in the world will be synchronized to the game lobby (open after the game ends), and other players can give tips according to your live broadcast content]

[The number of viewers of the current live broadcast: 167 (second in the same period on the newcomer list)]

[Gaining higher popularity will earn you more points]

"The quality of the newcomers this time is good, and the two of them are out of the customs for a while."

"It's a coincidence that she just coincidentally, you look at the front play of the number one, and she directly bites the wizard's throat."

“4.7？ With this physical strength, normal people don't have half of it. ”

"Not necessarily, two states, it's more or less easy to fight."

"Touguan's physique is unlucky enough."

"The anchor's appearance is too resistant, this skin is fake."

"It's good to look good and fart, is it better to die?"

Jiang Jiuwei glanced at the words that slid in the corner of his field of vision, a little disgusted by the feeling of being watched, and then stood up, shook his head, and looked around.

The chair beneath her that locked her movement was long gone, and the texture of the dry planks beneath her feet had been replaced by the soft touch of the earth.

It was a silent jungle, and a few rays of moonlight rarely flowed out of the leaves overhead, but the air was unusually dry, and the oppressive feeling in the wooden house was lost.

Jiang Jiu didn't slowly pick up the bushes around him, tried not to make a sound, and poked his head out to observe, but because the environment was too dark, he found nothing.

"Do you think that the anchor is not quite right, she doesn't seem to be panicking at all now?"

"Pretend, it's good to watch the live broadcast, and it's a gimmick on the whole."

"Not necessarily, looking at her hospital gown, I can't tell which psychiatric hospital will release it."

"But one thing to say, this face is too good."

[The number of viewers of the current live broadcast: 198 (second in the same period of the newcomer list)]

Jiang Jiu didn't suppress his body, and he thought about it in his heart. The "dark creatures" mentioned in the "state" just now, the name sounds like they act at night, and most of them are dangerous, so you need to be cautious.

She looked around carefully and found that in this case, she could only see the scenery two or three meters in front of her, and the scenery in the distance could basically only see an outline, so she simply gave up her vision and listened to the surrounding movements.

Jiang Jiuwei had never been to any wild jungles, but he also felt that the surrounding environment was too quiet, and there was not even the rustle of grass and trees being blown by the wind.

"What is she doing?"

"I'm so scared that I don't dare to move, but this is really an evil sect, why did you come to the wilderness?"

"No, what is she doing here?"

Jiang Jiuwei stretched out his hands, gritted his teeth, and tore off a few branches of the surrounding bushes. A black viscous liquid flowed from the cracks of the plants she had broken, and it was visibly healing with the naked eye, full of perverted vitality.

She poked her finger at the black liquid, giving her a look of anticipation.

[Player Jiang Jiuwei/Corrupted by Darkness, Sanity -4]

Jiang Jiuwei felt a sense of discomfort from these plants just now, presumably due to the influence of that "state". The sap of this plant can have an effect on people, and there must be other more aggressive life.

She frowned slightly, lowering her figure a few more times. The whole person was almost prostrate on the ground.

"Hey, I'm going to lie down."

"The physique is like that, what else can I do, I'm gone, I'm bored..."

"Doesn't anyone think this is looking up at Sa?"

"It's understandable that this environment is cautious, let's see what's next."

Clinging to the ground, Jiang Jiu did not notice another unusual situation.

Although the soil of this ground is generally forest soil that can be found everywhere, the surface is shrouded in a layer of black soft light, and when you look closely, it almost becomes a film of light texture - tightly wrapping the whole land.

Just as she was full of doubts and didn't know how to continue, there was a sound of sparse foliage in the distance. Jiang Jiu was not very aware of the strangeness of the plants in this forest. This level of noise can only be caused by some kind of animal dialing it off.

As the voice approached, her pupils dilated, and her body turned into a half-squatting starting position, ready to meet the dangers that came in the dark night.

In the dark darkness in front of him, there was a sudden orange glow, followed by the clear sound of trampling branches. Jiang Jiuwei hid his body behind the bushes and peeked through the gap in the direction where the sound came from.

As the image of the black shadow in front of him gradually became clearer, Jiang Jiu couldn't help but widen his eyes. Influenced by this bizarre world, she was ready to meet some unimaginable fantasy creatures, but she didn't expect a human to come.

To put it bluntly, a hunter.

He leaned in front of him with a torch in his left hand, and in his right hand he held an indistinguishable shotgun with mottled black marks.

The clothes on his body seemed to have been deliberately processed—several layers of bark-like plate armor tied to the cloth clothes looked cumbersome and bulky.

But at this moment, Jiang Jiuwei, who was wearing a light hospital gown, was extremely envious of this dress, without him, she was too cold.

She hadn't noticed it in the wooden house before, but now in the woods, although there was no wind, the temperature in the wild was not something that a poor person with a constitution of 4.7 could bear.

In order to save his life, he had been holding on strongly, and he forcibly used his willpower to suppress the many discomforts caused by the cold. Even her mental state has almost reached its limit at this moment.
