The sky in early summer was a little hot. Amidst the sparse chirping of cicadas, the sun shined on Su Lin's face through the shade of the swaying trees, making him squint due to the flickering light.

He turned his head and looked down the road, picked up his suitcase, and saw that the bus he was waiting for had arrived.

In the afternoon, there were very few people in the car. He found a seat and sat down, then took out the backstage of Writer's Assistant on his mobile phone and looked at the readers' comments.

I doubt the author's mental state.

I feel like there is no one who has been mentally ill for ten years and could not write this kind of book.

I suspect the author wrote it in a mental hospital?

...

Looking at these comments that doubted his mental state, Su Lin smiled knowingly. The readers thought that the logic of his book was too difficult and would easily lead to confusion after reading too much. These comments were all well-intentioned ridicule, but it is estimated that no readers could guess. His new book was actually written in a mental hospital.

Yes, he is an online writer, but he prefers to call his profession a new-age plot art creator.

Snap—pop—pop—

The sound of raindrops hitting the glass diverted Su Lin's attention. He looked out the window. The weather in early summer changed at any time. When he was discharged from the hospital, the sky was clear. Now it started to rain, and it started to rain harder. .

Su Lin likes rain. Rainy days can cover up the hustle and bustle of the outside world, leaving only pure natural sounds.

But today was more troublesome because he didn't bring an umbrella and he didn't have a home.

Before being admitted to the hospital, he had already checked out the capsule room he was staying in, and he was originally going to go to the agency to view the room today.

He turned on the screen of his phone to see if the agent had responded, but unexpectedly the browser on his phone opened automatically with a game advertisement on it.

At first glance, it looked like a web game with false advertising and low development costs. Because he turned on the external playback on his mobile phone, there was still a voice playing when the above animation was playing.

Ah, why did I get a random noob at the beginning this time? How is this going to work? Hey... there is a giant beast in front of me that is injured and cannot be moved. I'm going to give it a try...

Wow - the swallowing was successful, I actually evolved into Xu Kun!

The beginning is a success, evolution depends entirely on swallowing, it's all in Shanhai Game!

Su Lin's mouth was a bit awkward. He didn't know where to complain for a while. He could only say that there were too many elements.

But what surprised him the most was why his browser would pop up such a game advertisement. After all, he had never opened the browser on his mobile phone, and his mobile phone was always clean and there were no third-party advertising plug-ins.

At this time, the game advertisement has finished playing, and a download window pops up for him to download.

Su Lin didn't know how to play this kind of game. Although the game advertisement looked a bit interesting, he knew that after downloading, it would only be other games, not what was described in the advertisement at all.

He subconsciously planned to quit the browser and clear the cache, and then communicate with the agent. If possible, he would book a house today, otherwise he would not even have a place to live.

He moved his fingers, but was surprised to find that he couldn't close the browser, and there was no option like 'X' or 'Cancel' on the download window.

Is my phone really infected with a virus? Could it be that Grandpa Jun looked at some small website when he took my mobile phone to surf the Internet?

While Su Lin was analyzing, the game on his phone had actually started to download. No operations could be performed on the phone, and he couldn't even turn off the screen. He could only watch the progress bar gradually grow.

Su Lin had no choice but to wait until he got out of the car to find a place to use the wireless network, use his laptop to contact the agent, and repair the phone at night.

He stretched out, leaned on the seat, and looked sideways at the hazy city outside the window. The rain was picked up by the wind, hitting the glass one after another, causing ripples.

Under the refraction of the ripples, the outline of the city becomes distorted, and the extension of the houses and streets is bent and deformed, no longer regular as before.

Listening to the rain in the afternoon always made people feel sleepy, but he suddenly became energetic because he discovered something was wrong.

He is very sensitive to time and distance, and he often rides this No. 11 bus. Based on the time he got on the bus and the average speed, it is supposed to be the time to stop, but the bus is still running. Drive straight forward.

Looking at the outside world through the rain-stained glass, he found that there were no other cars on the road, and there were no pedestrians on the sidewalks on both sides!

Su Lin didn't panic, then turned around and looked around the inside of the bus.

There was no one inside the bus at this time, even the driver's seat was empty.

Inside the car, the only sounds that could be heard were the wheels rolling up dirty water, and the sound of rain hitting the glass and roof. There was a strange feeling of silence.

Su Lin didn't think that he was sick, just like he never thought that the supernatural phenomena he saw before were his hallucinations.

This time was different from the past few times. He had seen some weird things fighting from a distance before, but this time he was among them.

【Ding--】

A clear beep sounded, and Su Lin took out his mobile phone from his pocket. The Shanhai game on it showed that the download was completed.

[The game is loading...]

【Please be prepared for strangers】

Facing this supernatural and strange phenomenon, Su Lin not only did not panic, but instead the corners of his mouth curled up unconsciously.

Yes, it's interesting, isn't it? It's an inspiration.

He looked out the window again. Amidst the ticking sound of his cell phone, he seemed to feel that the distorted scenery outside the window was pulling him down deeper.

As the scene distorted, his consciousness gradually blurred. He curiously reached out to touch the glass, but could only touch the foam.

As the scene in front of him continued to change, the feeling of weightlessness became more and more obvious, and at the same time, a voice that could not distinguish between male and female began to be heard in his ears.

[Irregular number 1166400, welcome to Shanhai Game]

Amidst the noisy shuttle sound effects, a large amount of information poured into his mind. The feeling of weightlessness continued to increase, and then began to weaken after a period of time. Finally, when Su Lin's vision became clear again, the scene in front of him was no longer inside the No. 11 bus. , but a gloomy dungeon.

There was a lot more information in Su Lin's mind. Although he still didn't know the reason, he was pulled into a 'game' called Shanhai Paradise.

His mobile phone and luggage were gone, which made him frown, because those were all his belongings. As a new-age drama artist who had trouble eating, he had always cherished his personal assets.

But he also knew that now was not the time to worry about that, the top priority was to figure out the situation.

He clenched his fists, felt his body, looked at the changed clothes on his body, and immediately began to touch his face in a confirming manner. Through touch and excellent memory, he could judge that his appearance had not changed.

He is a writer and is very familiar with time travel and other novels. He is sure that this is his own body. If he hadn't just seen other people in the dungeon from the corner of his eye, he might have taken off his pants to confirm the shape and size of his second brother. It is easier to intuitively judge whether it is your own body.

[Irregular number 1166400, please check your mission. 】

The voice sounded again, and at the same time, Su Lin also saw a small cursor appear in the upper right corner of his field of vision. Like an instinct engraved in his bones, he opened the menu with his mind.

The first thing that caught his eye was the details of this game copy. The format made Su Lin couldn't help complaining that it was really a bit of a game.

[Warning: In this copy of the game, information about Shanhai Game must not be disclosed to non-human intelligent beings in any form. Violators will be obliterated! 】

Propaganda fraud.

Where is the Kun I started with? ?

After complaining in his heart, he checked the other function menus of Shanhai Game while observing the surrounding environment and other people. There were ten people in the dungeon including himself, but he didn't know if these were all the death row inmates in this prison. knew.

Looking at the sanitary conditions of the dungeon, it was hard for Su Lin to imagine that he was in a prison in the 21st century. It was like the gloomy dungeon he had seen in medieval movies, with a damp and rancid smell stirring crazily in his nasal cavity.

Everyone was wearing prison uniforms, some were generally clean, while others were dirty and worn. It seemed that they were imprisoned at different times. The prison uniform Su Lin was wearing was relatively new.

As a writer who could thrive in a mental hospital, Su Lin was not very receptive to the situation at hand. His first reaction when encountering this kind of thing was not panic and fear, but an inexplicable sense of joy.

He didn't want to admit that he was some kind of middle school boy, but he had to say that he found the current situation so interesting that the corners of his mouth turned up unconsciously.

The information pouring into his mind gave him a rough understanding of the situation in this copy of the Shanhai game. If he hadn't been kidnapped and his brain was subjected to a brain-computer interface experiment by a mad scientist, then he might have really come to a parallel world, but here. It was selected as a game venue by Shanhai Games.

In the detailed column of the world background, he could see some of the historical process of China, which overlapped with what he learned about his own country's history. However, in the end, it embarked on a different development path because of the so-called spiritual energy recovery, such as Different possibilities of parallel worlds.

What kind of identity did he play, and what crimes did he commit in this world to be imprisoned in the Demon Hunting Department and become a death row prisoner? These mountains and sea games did not give detailed explanations. Su Lin didn't know yet, but as long as he knew the world, By communicating with people, you can quickly get enough information.

Su Lin observed the other prisoners in the dungeon, hugging them with his left arm and supporting them with his right arm, touching his chin with a bit of amusement in his eyes.

Because the behavior of the prisoners in the prison is very interesting. Several prisoners are sitting against the wall and sleeping soundly, as if they are indifferent to their future. Some prisoners are frowning in thought, and their expressions and temperaments do not look like they will be imprisoned. The vicious death row in here.

There were two other prisoners who looked very flustered, with confusion and bewilderment written all over their faces.

The most interesting thing is that although this room is not small, it is still a bit crowded for ten people. There are no beds or bathrooms on the floor, only a few excrement buckets, and there are actually two women among the prisoners.

Gee, is it that the management of death row prisoners in the parallel world is too relaxed, or is it a bug in the identity arrangement of the game?

Without asking, Su Lin could deduce that the two panicked prisoners were definitely 'players', or novice strangers like himself.

Since there is a Shanhai game, and the copies are marked with levels, there are naturally new and old strangers. It seems that I am not the only lucky one to be pulled in, or rather the unlucky one.

The reason why he said he was the lucky one was because Su Lin thought the game looked interesting. The reason why he said those people were unlucky was because the game didn't look ordinary dangerous.

If we rule out the possibility that they used some kind of stealth technology consciousness to enter this 'game space', then the so-called erasure should be the real erasure of their lives, and death is the real end.

No penalty for mission failure?

You have already been executed, why do you need Shanhai Games to punish you personally?

Reality is not like novels. There is no little cutie here shouting about who caught her/him and end this kind of bullying activities as soon as possible. The extraordinary power of Shan Hai Game completely tells the information entered in people's minds. The new people themselves are experiencing supernatural events.

Shanhai Games warned players with a warning sound that sounded in their ears, and the word obliterate was particularly harsh. Su Lin didn't think anyone would ignore it.

In fact, the two panicked strangers, despite their pale faces, clung tightly to the dungeon railings and did not take any extraordinary action.

This is also in line with people's subconscious self-protection. In a strange environment and when you don't understand the situation, sometimes doing nothing and waiting to see what happens is also a more appropriate way of coping.

Yelling recklessly or asking for help in an excited manner can easily lead to unpredictable consequences.

Of course, these two people may not have thought that much, they were just too scared to move.

Su Lin thought, opened the menu again, and glanced at his personal details.

【Irren No. 1166400】

Race: Human race

Title: None

Occupation: None

Faction: None yet

Health: 100%

Soul energy value: 100%

Constitution: 4 points

Strength: 4 points

Agility: 5 points

Spirit: 10 points

Charisma: 9 points

Luck: 5 points

Just like the game menu, you can focus on a column and you can see the detailed explanation. The health value is easy to understand, which is probably the blood volume. The soul energy is the 'blue bar' required to release skills, and it will also become exhausted as one's spirit degree and decrease.

Regarding the attribute points, the system noted that, except for the lucky attribute, 5 attribute points was roughly the average value of a normal adult male.

Strength determines load-carrying and attack, and together with agility, affects running speed. Agility also affects nerve reflex speed.

The spirit affects the control of moves and skills, the damage of some skills, and the resistance to abnormal control. His charm affects the effect of talking to characters, the ability to summon creatures, and the resistance to some abnormal control.

Su Lin touched his chin and smiled knowingly when he saw his spirit and charm. Should he say he is worthy of me?

Well, as for the fact that his physical strength is not up to the average of a normal adult male, he simply ignored it. How good can a nerd writer's physical fitness be?

Hey, kid, what are you laughing at?

Just as Su Lin was thinking, someone interrupted his thoughts. A middle-aged man who was over 1.9 meters tall walked towards him. His strong muscles were exposed on the worn prison uniform. It looked like he had been exercising regularly, and judging by his pace and posture, The center of gravity is very stable, and he is not an ordinary person with a muscular frame.

The man's eyes were fierce and sharp, giving people a different kind of oppressive feeling. Coupled with his tall stature, when he approached, others unconsciously gave way to him.

Su Lin looked at the middle-aged man walking towards him after questioning him. He was not panicked. He had noticed the man just now. After all, he was the most powerful man in a small space and could threaten his life. .

The reason why he didn't panic was not because he was a hidden strong man. After all, he wasn't really a 'closed disciple of Shiji Guanjun'. He didn't panic just because he was sure to appease the other party.

In three words, he would let the middle-aged man in front of him give him...
