The sound of the TV rang in his ears.
It was still news.
Today, the news had been on for a whole day.
There were all kinds of reports, big and small.
However, Ling Ping'an was in a daze and muddle-headed.
It was only at this moment that he finally recovered a little energy.
He could feel the stimulation of the outside world again.
The voice on the TV gradually became clear.
"The Legend of Nightmare game capsule, the first game capsule will be sent out at 6: 01 p.m. today..."
"The person who got this game capsule is a lucky player from Jiangcheng City!"
On the TV, a worker in a black uniform was carrying a huge object to a van that had the words' Legend of Nightmare's Exclusive Delivery Vehicle 'painted on it.
Click, click, click. Countless flashes kept flashing, recording this moment.
"It is reported that the delivery of the game capsule will be handled by the special personnel hired by the Nightmare Group!"
"They will ensure that the game capsule is delivered to the customer on time and assist the customer in the relevant installation and guidance!"
Ling Ping'an sat up.
He shook his head hard.
Meow!
Bastet was acting coquettishly at his feet.
Ling Ping'an gently reached out and picked up his pet.
"Little Darling..." he muttered to himself, "Brother seems to be hibernating like a bear today!"
Ever since the customer left, he had been in a daze and drowsy for the whole day.
The stimulation of the outside world had almost disappeared.
Just like a hibernating snake.
He didn't know the reason, and he didn't want to know.
Meow!
The kitten meowed softly as if it was saying something.
"You mean..." Ling Ping'an lowered his head and looked at his pet's beautiful amber eyes, "I will be like this often in the future?"
Meow!
The little guy stuck out his tongue and licked the back of his master's hand intimately.
"I see!" Ling Ping'an didn't let himself think. He nodded and said, "Then let nature take its course!"
He only wanted to live his old life now.
… …
Li An'an looked at the two staff members who were carrying a huge cardboard box into the door.
They were wearing dark green uniforms.
On the chest of their clothes, there were balls of light that she didn't know what they meant.
"Miss..." the middle-aged man who seemed to be of Kunlun State smiled and handed her a form. "This is your game capsule installation form... please sign it!"
She took the form and glanced at it.
He saw the words at the top of the form: Legend of Nightmare Special User Installation List.
Below it was a description of the hardware and software.
These hardware and software all had the prefix 'Nightmare'.
Nightmare Engine, Engine Guide, Nightmare Vortex, Nightmare Passage …
She couldn't understand it either.
However, the words in the description alerted her.
"You will have the exclusive gaming cabin for the special users of Legend of Nightmare …"
"Your gaming cabin will enjoy the following privileges:"
"A: Undying!"
"Regardless of whether you are in the game world or any other Nightmare Zone, if you receive any damage, when the damage may threaten your life, you will immediately be forced to lock your Health Points and bring you back safely. Of course, you will lose all your gains in this world, and you may randomly drop a piece of equipment."
"B: Absolute Protection: Any game skill or Nightmare World character will not be able to track and lock onto your soul!"
"C: VIP: You are a Nightmare VIP, so whenever you trade with the Realm of Nightmare, you will enjoy the most preferential treatment!"
"Most preferential treatment: No matter how other Nightmare Game characters are treated in the game, you will always enjoy the highest standard discount and the lowest standard guarantee. [For example: A product, the Realm of Nightmare will buy it at a price of 500 points and sell it at a price of 800 points. However, some Nightmare Missions or talents can allow other related people to trade with the Realm of Nightmare at a price higher than the Realm of Nightmare. Once you do this, you will automatically enjoy the treatment of that person, and this discount will always be updated. Whenever you trade with the Realm of Nightmare, this discount will automatically be refreshed.]
"This right has space-time priority!"
"D: Eye of Nightmare: When you are in the Realm of Nightmare/Nightmare World/New Nightmare World, you can use this function to identify any target by paying points to obtain detailed data of the target!"
Looking at these explanations, Li An 'an's eyelids twitched wildly.
"This Legend of Nightmare of yours..." she asked the other party, "Can it really..."
The other party smiled. He did not admit or deny it.
He only said extremely respectfully, "Miss, that is a problem that others need to worry about..."
"To you, this is really just a game!"
"During the game, your life, privacy, and other aspects will definitely not be threatened!"
"You just need to play to your heart's content!"
As he said that, the packaging of the game cabin was already opened by the staff.
The true appearance of the game cabin was revealed.
It was a silver-white rectangular cabin that was filled with a futuristic feel.
The cabin was very spacious.
It was like a bed.
There were no chargers or charging ports.
There were only two ball-like things standing at both ends of the cabin.
The staff aimed the two things at the grooves on both sides of the cabin and gently pressed them down.
The cabin was activated.
A ray of light shot out from the cabin and landed on Li An 'an.
Something like a gear in the cabin slowly turned.
A moment later, the silver metal cabin cover on the surface of the cabin automatically shrank to both sides.
A mechanical and electronic voice came from it, "Welcome! Honorable Nightmare VIP Miss Li An 'an! "
"I am your Nightmare Assistant!"
"When you play in the Realm of Nightmare, the Nightmare World, or even the alternate world, I will be on standby to provide all services for you!"
Hearing this voice, Li An 'an's face became even more doubtful.
She wanted to ask.
However, the middle-aged man bowed politely, "Miss Li, your questions can be answered in the Realm of Nightmare or the Nightmare World!"
As he said that, he left with his men.
Li An 'an watched him close the door, then turned around to look at the silver metal cabin that was at least two meters long.
There were questions in her beautiful eyes, but more than that, there was uneasiness.
She looked at the manual and instructions that the other party had given her.
She looked at the list again.
"When the harm may threaten your life..."
She frowned.
"Life!"
"This Legend of Nightmare may endanger my life?"
"Will Ping An be okay?"
Holding her phone, she hesitated again and again.
… …
Jiangcheng City, a residential building on Jianshe North Road.
A black van stealthily arrived at the scene.
It seemed to appear out of thin air and stopped below the residential building.
A staff member in a black uniform got out of the car expressionlessly and opened the door.
Then, he carried a box down.
Then, they carried the box and walked into the residential building expressionlessly.
The people around them turned a blind eye to them, ignoring them as if they were air.
They walked upstairs. This was an old-fashioned residential building, and there was no elevator.
There was only a dark staircase that couldn't even be lit.
However, they walked as fast as they could, carrying the box as if they were walking on flat ground.
They went up to the seventh floor, then turned a corner and came to a very simple house.
Knock, knock, knock!
There was a knock on the door.
The neighbor next door was cooking. When they heard the knock on the door, they poked their heads out and saw that it was a few strangers. They looked like they were not to be trifled with, so they shrank back.
"The kid from the Huang family only knows how to play games all day long!" The woman who was cooking shook her head. "I guess he got into debt outside and someone came to find him!"
As she said that, she turned around and looked at her daughter. "Darling... remember, no matter what happens, don\'t go out... lest you get into trouble!"
Her daughter pouted unwillingly, but under her mother\'s pressure, she could only nod.
Knock, knock, knock!
The knocking on the door next door continued.
The girl listened to it, a little worried.
After about three minutes, a young man\'s voice came from next door. "Who is it?"
Someone\'s footsteps sounded.
It was Brother Huang!
The girl started to worry.
She and her brother were childhood sweethearts.
She always remembered that when she was bullied, it was Brother Huang who stood up for her.
Especially when she was in middle school, two hooligans stopped her on the road.
At that time, Brother Huang, who had already finished high school and failed to get into college, happened to pass by. He kicked the two hooligans to the ground and protected her all the way home.
In her impression, Brother Huang had always been a cheerful big brother who loved to laugh.
Unfortunately...
After she got into college, everything was different.
The distance between the two of them grew further and further.
Even when they met, he avoided her.
Especially after she graduated, he tried his best to avoid her.
The girl knew the reason.
She was a top student from a famous university. Once she graduated, she entered the world\'s top 500 companies to work.
Her starting salary was 30,000 RMB.
Brother Huang, on the other hand, couldn\'t even find a normal job because he didn\'t have a degree.
In the first half of the year, he could only deliver food.
In the second half of the year, it was difficult to even deliver food. He could only live off his savings at home.
The girl tried several times to encourage him and visit him.
But in the end, she stopped at the door.
Because she knew that Brother Huang\'s pride wouldn\'t allow such a thing to happen.
Moreover, it might cause a conflict between neighbors.
Her mother knew about it.
She wanted her to marry into a rich family, or at least a scholarly one.
She would never take a fancy to the poor boy next door.
At the first sign, she would fly into a rage.
The whole building would hear her roar.
Thinking of this, the girl leaned against the door and carefully listened to the movements outside.
"We are delivery!" The person at the door said in an extremely cold tone.
"Delivery?" Brother Huang sounded doubtful. "I have a delivery?"
"Yes!" The person replied, "We were ordered to escort your game capsule!"
Brother Huang\'s tone immediately changed. "Game capsule?"
His tone was full of excitement and anticipation.
… …
As soon as Huang Qin opened the door, he saw a few strangers standing at his door with a big suitcase.
They were wearing ink-black clothes.
There was a pattern that looked like a light ball on their clothes.
"Huang Qin, right?" The person in the lead was expressionless. Like his tone, he didn\'t seem human. Instead, he asked like a machine.
Without waiting for him to answer, he directly led the people in.
"Where do you want to install the game capsule?" He asked.
"Just the bedroom!" Huang Qin asked nervously, "Is that okay?"
"Of course!" The person replied.
"But..."
"Before you install it, you have to sign this first!" He took out a piece of paper from his pocket.
It was a dark red piece of paper.
As soon as the paper was taken out, Huang Qin felt a little uneasy.
He took it and looked at the contents of the paper under the light.
"Life and death contract!" His hand holding the paper felt as if it was scalded.
The words seemed to be poured into his brain by something.
There were countless terms, all of which were responsibilities.
Must not be disclosed...
Must not be violated...
Need to apply...
Anyone who violated would be obliterated!
Looking at the terms on the paper, Huang Qin knew the meaning of obliteration.
Death from electrocution, drowning, car accident, myocardial infarction, cerebral hemorrhage...
In short, the cause of death was an accident.
But in fact, the head and body had already exploded before the accident.
"You can choose not to sign!" The cold man said lightly, "In that case, we will take back your game capsule!"
"And what you see and hear now will also be erased by us!"
"You can choose freely!"
Huang Qin swallowed his saliva.
He suddenly laughed, stretched out his hand, and asked, "Do you have a pen?"
The other party laughed, "Just press a fingerprint!"
Huang Qin nodded, stretched out his thumb, and pressed heavily on the lower right corner of the contract.
As the fingerprint was pressed.
He felt as if there was something extra in his body.
He also seemed to have lost something.
He lowered his head and looked at his left hand.
A mark appeared on the back of his hand.
It was a closed evil eye.
Only he could see it.
Thus, he understood that the so-called game capsule was just a cover.
Of course, it couldn\'t be said that it was useless.
But the most important thing was this mark.
Only it could allow him to enter the so-called nightmare world.
And the game capsule was just a supporting role.
It helped people like him, who were not qualified, enter.
When he realized this, the person in front of him said, "Alright... we have to hurry to the other houses!"
"Familiarize yourself with it these few days!"
As he said that, these people faded in front of his eyes like shadows.
Huang Qin took a deep breath.
He looked at the contract that had begun to burn in his hand.
Then he walked to the bedroom and saw the ink-black metal cabin.
He leaned over, and the eye on the back of his hand opened.
The metal cabin\'s hatch opened.
Inside was a deep space.
It was enough for him to lie down and even roll in it.
Huang Qin touched it with his trembling hands.
"I knew it..."
"I knew it..."
"There is transcendent power in this world!"
"And I\'ve got the ticket!"
Although this power required him to risk his life for it.
But this was enough!
Wasn\'t it?
A chance to change his life, a chance to reincarnate.
Suddenly, he seemed to have sensed that someone was outside his house.
He walked over and looked at the shadow at the door.
It was the little sister of the Zhang family.
He laughed and opened the door.
He looked at the door, the sister who had watched him grow up.
The girl who had been deliberately alienated after she grew up.
He smiled, "It\'s Zhang Meng!"
"Why are you standing in front of my brother\'s house?"
The girl raised her eyes and looked at her childhood sweetheart neighbor in front of her.
He smiled very brightly.
Just like when she was a child.
The girl knew that the brother she trusted since she was a child was back.
He no longer felt inferior.
