What's the crash? I'm playing the game normally.

"Okay, it's almost time. I wish you all good luck."

After Li Shoushi finished speaking, a young man outside the door bowed respectfully to Li Shoushi and then walked in.

At the same time, he said softly: "Everyone, my ability is quite special, called "Scarecrow Substitute". I can replace the 8 players who are about to enter the soul recovery dungeon, and you will enter instead. According to our information, the next soul recovery dungeon will be entered by you." There will be 10 players when it opens, and my highest ability can replace 8 of them.”

Bai Wan and others nodded after hearing this, with a trace of curiosity flashing in their eyes.

It's quite a magical ability. It can actually replace the person who originally participated in the weird game. This ability is very convenient.

Just listen to Li Shoushi say: "The cooldown time of his scarecrow substitute is also very long, and now it has just cooled down. Before, our official had no way to enter the game through formal channels, and could only go to the village to passively enter the game. In that case, the amount of information obtained was very small."

"Many trick hunters and villagers will become NPCs in the game after entering the game, so there should be many surviving trick hunters who are not dead and have become members of that world. If you verify your identity, you can also seek help from them. ”

"Many villagers have been invaded by reality, and they have been forced to live their lives as aborigines, trying to protect them as much as possible."

Everyone nodded after hearing this.

To put it simply, there are two ways to enter this game. One is to enter through the normal way-the weird game. Just like the scarecrow currently replaces the original players, they will follow the normal script route.

Others were directly involved, and those characters could only play some insignificant supporting roles as NPCs.

They have all read the general information about the soul return.

Then when the time came, the young man displayed his own scarecrow.

Eight thin silk threads hang from the sky, and eight scarecrows are tied to them.

The scarecrow hugged everyone in Bai and Anhui, and then a message came in their minds.

[Ding—The special ability "Scarecrow" is detected and the original player will be replaced in the copy "Return to Soul". 】

[Replacement is successful, the copy "Recovery" starts now! 】

Then Bai Wan and others felt a flash of white light in front of their eyes and disappeared from the headquarters.

Then Bai Wan gradually discovered that his perspective had changed to that of another person.

…

Fang Xiang was sitting in the train, feeling a little tired from the long journey.

He hadn't eaten for a long time, but he wasn't hungry yet. He couldn't eat every time he was on the train.

A few days ago, my girlfriend's sister unfortunately passed away, so my girlfriend had to go home to attend her sister's funeral, and she went with her.

He and his girlfriend have been in a relationship for three years in college, and now they are meeting each other's parents for the first time.

I wonder if my girlfriend’s parents are very strict?

"Don't be nervous, my parents are still very kind." His girlfriend Chu Jiao said soothingly.

"How could it be? I'm not nervous." Fang Xiang said with a sullen face.

His girlfriend smiled at this but did not expose his lie.

My girlfriend’s home is a small coastal city, somewhat remote and not even accessible by railway.

"We're at the station. Let's go down and transfer to the bus." His girlfriend pushed Fang Xiang.

After they got off the train, they still needed to transfer to a bus to reach that city.

After getting on the bus, Fang Xiang looked around.

There were not many people on the bus, they were sparse, and the driver kept complaining.

He can't make much money at all, and needs subsidies from the local government, but because this is the only vehicle in the city that connects with the outside world, it has to exist.

Looking at the unfamiliar environment, Fang Xiang became nervous again.

"Don't be afraid, my parents are easy to talk to." His girlfriend Chu Jiao said after handing Fang Xiang a bottle of water.

After Fang Xiang drank the water, he felt a little relieved and asked again: "Is there anything I need to pay attention to? It's the first time I'm meeting my parents, and I don't know if the gifts I prepared are enough..."

"That's enough. They don't really care about gifts or anything like that, as long as they have this intention. However, there is one thing that needs to be paid attention to."

Suddenly his voice stopped and he said.

Fang Xiang also turned on the water and listened carefully.

Just listen to Chu Jiao say: "The only thing that needs to be noted is that our city has a rather strange tradition. You also know that we are a coastal city, and mirages appear from time to time, and our family is quite taboo about mirages, so we chat It’s best not to bring up the subject of mirages.”

"And if you really encounter a mirage, leave quickly and don't stand alone on the beach for too long."

Fang Xiang was a little confused after hearing this.

What kind of custom is this? Can't talk about mirages or stand alone on the beach for too long?

Chu Jiao shook her head and said: "I don't know too well. You also know that I left this city when I was very young to go to school outside, so I am really not familiar with my hometown. In short, those older people seem to have some concerns about this matter. , some fear, they say mirages are bad things.”

After hearing this, Fang Xiang felt a little ridiculous and said: "A mirage is just a weather phenomenon caused by the refraction of light."

After hearing this, Chu Jiao rolled her eyes and said, "I know you don't believe this, but mirages are indeed a bit mysterious. After all, there are many scenes. In fact, we have not found the real scenes in reality. It is said that some people once saw the ancients fighting in the past. Scene, if it is due to the refraction of light, this is impossible. "

After hearing this, Fang Xiang said: "Those are just rumors on the Internet, or some of them come from people's imagination. The scenery can actually be found in reality, but they made up other scenes in their minds. As for ancient wars This matter has been going on for a long time and cannot be confirmed.”

Fang Xiang never believed in these things.

"Okay, okay, I don't want to argue with you. Maybe it's just like what you said, but no matter what, this is the custom in my hometown. When you go to town, do as the Romans do." Chu Jiao shook her head and handed Fang Xiang a piece of bread. Said later.

Fang Xiang took it without saying anything, and slowly ate some bread to cushion his stomach.

That's right. Although he doesn't believe it, he is his girlfriend's elder after all, and he has to respect her.

And soon the bus got off.

The whole city is relatively small and gives people a very quiet feeling.

"Here we are, this is my hometown. If you walk a few kilometers from here to there, you can see the sea." Chu Jiao introduced to Fang Xiang with a smile.

Fang Xiang felt that the place where his loved one grew up felt both familiar and strange.

Because the city is not big, I quickly walked to my girlfriend’s house, which is a large house in a community near the sea.

"I didn't expect that my girlfriend turned out to be a hidden rich woman." Fang Xiang couldn't help but joked as he looked at the big house in front of him.

"Don't make trouble. The housing prices here are low. A house of a few hundred square meters is not as expensive as a house of a few dozen square meters in the city."

Then Fang Xiang and Chu Jiao walked in.

The girl's parents were already walking in front of the door to greet her, and they looked very enthusiastic, which made Fang Xiang feel a little relieved.

Chu Jiao's parents' hair was a bit white, and her father wore glasses that seemed to be short-sighted, but he was kind-hearted. He was very grateful for the gifts given by Fang Xiang and kept stuffing various kinds of food into his hands.

"You are a good young man. My daughter will be entrusted to you from now on." Chu Jiao's father smiled and said.

"Don't worry, uncle, I will definitely protect her for the rest of my life." Fang Xiang also expressed his determination in front of his father-in-law.

Fang Xiang got along very well with his girlfriend's father, and they had a great time talking.

This also made Fang Xiang relax more and more.

But after chatting for a while, my father-in-law suddenly fell silent. After hesitating, he said, "You can wander around this city more, but remember not to go to the beach. If you go to the beach, don't stay too long."

Fang Xiang was stunned for a moment, and then heard his father-in-law say very seriously: "Remember, if you stay at the beach for a long time and encounter... that thing, remember not to look at it, run home immediately!"

At this time, Fang Xiang also thought of his girlfriend's instructions before coming, and said curiously: "That thing...? Does it mean a mirage?"

When the father-in-law heard this word, his expression changed slightly and he nodded.

Fang Xiang wanted to explain the mirage.

But when I think about my father-in-law’s generation, people in his generation were generally not very knowledgeable and didn’t go to school, so they should be a bit superstitious.

So Fang Xiang nodded, indicating that he understood.

Then Fang Xiang had dinner with his girlfriend and her family.

The girlfriend then went with her parents to visit other relatives.

Since Fang Xiang was not married yet, it was not suitable for him to visit, so Fang Xiang wandered outside alone.

The pace of this city is indeed a bit slow. Everyone seems not too busy, and there are many grandparents taking leisurely walks outside.

It would be nice to live in this city, Fang Xiang couldn't help but sigh.

Unknowingly, the sound of waves came from ahead.

Huh?

Fang Xiang couldn't help but froze for a moment, and looked ahead, only to realize that he had arrived at the beach unknowingly.

The water flows from far to near, and finally flows to the beach.

Then he walked over with some joy.

He has been working all his life and has never seen the sea.

Feeling the sea breeze blowing on his body, Fang Xiang looked towards the sea in the distance.

I have to say that the sea is indeed beautiful, and he felt better looking at it.

Then he picked up his mobile phone and put it casually behind his back, and began to record a video of the sea and take a photo of him and the beach.

He planned to send this video to his family after returning home.

The video was almost finished, and Fang Xiang suddenly thought of the instructions from his girlfriend and his parents... Don't stand at the beach for too long.

Although Fang Xiang didn't quite understand it, he was actually an honest and trustworthy person.

So he stood at the beach for a while and then prepared to turn around and leave.

But at this moment, he suddenly let out a light sigh.

It seemed that the sea was starting to fog up.

rustle.

The fog was generated very quickly and instantly covered the visible sea in front of us.

Then a more magical scene appeared.
