It was a little silly, but it brightened the atmosphere.

The man rubbed the back of his head embarrassingly, and said, "Haha, I'm sorry, I was just joking, I can't stand such a stiff atmosphere."

Everyone else smiled absently.

"Otherwise, let me introduce myself first, my name is Han Qianqiu," said the young man with messy short hair, "I was playing games in an Internet cafe, and I pushed it to the high ground. Then A, the crystal on the opposite side is gone. As a result, his crystal was saved, and I was gone! What do you call this?!"

"I was also a little sudden." The first person to speak was a young man wearing glasses, with his hair parted, wearing a cashmere sweater and jeans, with a bookish demeanor, "My name is Zhang Yang. Before I came here, I read at home and fell asleep when I was tired." When you wake up, you will be sitting here, how about you?"

After he finished speaking, he naturally looked at the person sitting on his right. The person was wearing a formal suit, gold-rimmed glasses, short hair combed meticulously, and he smelled of expensive perfume.

With a domineering demeanor, he didn't answer Zhang Yang's words, looked down at his watch, and asked Yan Xiuyi the question calmly: "Are you the same as them?"

After spending the night together, Shen Rin found that Yan Xiu was a bit cold-tempered and didn't talk much. After being stared at by everyone, he fell silent.

The man in the suit smiled coldly: "You don't want to say? Or is there some secret you are keeping from us? Are you doing something wrong?"

Hearing this, Yan Xiu raised his eyes, looked at the man in the suit calmly with dark eyes, and asked him, "Why didn't you say it first?"

The man in the suit was frightened by his gaze, and glanced at his watch again: "Say it first, let's talk first, there is something to hide."

He paused and said, "I'm driving, on my way to work."

"No more?" Han Qianqiu asked.

"Gone."

"What's your name brother?"

"Alex."

"Western style," Han Qianqiu snapped angrily, "I thought your name was short."

Alex kept a straight face and didn't say anything. He couldn't meet Yan Xiuyi, so he turned his head to Shen Rin who "looked like" a bully and said, "What about you?"

Shen Lin said awkwardly: "Let me think about it..."

Alex looked at his watch again, and his anxiety increased by the second. He tapped impatiently on the table with his fingertips, and said, "Can't remember what happened a few minutes ago?"

"It's a normal reaction to be overly frightened," Shen Lin said solemnly, "If you say more, maybe I can remember something."

Alex understood that he was excluded, he glanced at several people, and said, "Boring."

He stood up to go, but his butt was glued to the seat, and he couldn't stand up at all. He looked at his watch again and said irritably, "I still have something to do, can I not waste my time here?! What on earth do you want to do?" ?! I'm going to call the police!"

"Do you have a signal on your phone? What are you shouting about!"

"Everyone is a victim. They came to this ghost place for no reason. Everyone wants to figure out what's going on."

"Brother, you also said that it's boring to hide it. Can you see that you are being honest?" Han Qianqiu has a straight temper and speaks very bluntly.

"Idiot," Alex sarcastically said, "Do you know all these people? Everything is shaking out like beans? You didn't hide it? It's just an ordinary game, how could you encounter such a weird thing. And you, Reading at home? Asleep? Can I trust you?"

Alex's words successfully pierced their peaceful appearance, and everyone fell into an unbearable silence. A crisis of trust began to spread among the few people. At this moment, Yan Xiuyi said: "Before I came here, I was on the train. , that railway was built in the 19th century, with a total length of more than 9000 kilometers, spanning 1/4 of the earth's circumference..."

"How about reciting the text?" Alex interrupted Yan Xiuyi impatiently.

Yan Xiuyi was silent for a moment: "I only remember these."

Shen Lin: "?"

Yan Xiuyi looked dazed, and repeated in confusion: "I only remember these."

Shen Lin frowned and asked, "You don't remember me?"

When Yan Xiu looked at him, his light-colored pupils were cold and unfamiliar.

He shook his head.

Shen Lin didn't say anything, he pursed his lips, and said to the rest of the people: "I know him, we are together, let me tell you. Before coming here, we were on the train, and the train that was supposed to pass through the grassland suddenly appeared In the deep sea." He described what he saw, which aroused a shocking resonance.

"That... I saw it too!" Han Qianqiu scratched his head and said, "I thought it was a hallucination!"

Zhang Yang nodded and said, "I had a dream after I fell asleep. I dreamed that I was submerged in the deep sea, surrounded by dense seawater. No, it was jelly, very viscous."

Hearing this, Alex also thought about sharing his experience: "Something tied up the tires of my car, making me unable to move on. I wanted to get out of the car to check, but as soon as I opened the door, there was a wave of waves rushing towards me. came in and sucked me into the vortex."

I finally found some common ground, and once things have common ground, we can find reasons that can be explained.The eyes of several people finally fell on the remaining lady.

The crowd fell into a brief silence.

...not that they don't want to talk to this lady, but because this lady is a fair-skinned Caucasian with brown curly hair and light blue eyes.

Han Qianqiu: "My English is not good."

Zhang Yang: "It's been three years since I took the Level [-] exam, so you can do whatever you want."

Yan Xiuyi: "?"

Alex didn't say a word, and glanced at them sarcastically: "It seems that I am the only one here who can speak English well, so I can only communicate with this lady."

Shen Lin ignored him, and took the initiative to communicate with the lady with brown curly hair in fluent English: "Ma'am, we are trying to figure out what happened, please..."

"I can understand. You can communicate with me in Chinese." Although the lady with brown curly hair spoke in English, the rest of the people didn't seem to have any obstacles in understanding.

Shen Lin asked, "Do you speak Chinese?"

"No," the lady said, "but I don't know why I can understand it. I know you are speaking Chinese, but I am so weird that I can understand it. My experience is very similar to yours."

She said: "My name is Carter, and I'm a housewife. I encountered something similar to yours on the way to buy vegetables." The brown-haired woman said in great detail, "I saw that the octopus I bought suddenly came to life, and it was huge. My tentacles stretched out from the environmental protection bag, entangled me so tightly that I could hardly breathe, and the sound of ocean waves sounded in my ears. Although I didn’t see the sea water, there was still a salty smell of being poured into the nostrils. , When I opened my eyes again, I was nailed to this damn chair. I have a bad back and can’t sit for a long time, I hope this chair won’t trap me here.”

Shen Lin took off the coat and handed it to her: "Put it on the back of the waist, it should be more comfortable."

"Thank you." Carter looked at Shen Lin unexpectedly, "You are a good boy."

"Now the situation is basically clarified," Shen Lin said to everyone, "There is only one answer that can explain all of this. We encountered a mystery, were summoned here by some means, and were forced to participate in the game in front of us. Before that, we I have received a game invitation card."

Shen Lin put the invitation card on the table and asked, "Do you have any?"

Everyone else shook their heads.

Han Qianqiu picked up the card, his face changed when he saw the words on it, and he teased: "What is this, it looks like a second grader, you didn't go to take the train because you received this invitation, did you? God, when I was young, I was as passionate and naive as you, and I was a second-year student, it’s nice to be young."

Shen Lin: "..." Shut up!

Shen Lin said with red ears: "Since you haven't received it, it should have nothing to do with this invitation letter, just pretend I didn't say it."

"But you are right," Han Qianqiu said, "This should be a game, the rules of the game are written here, but the question is when will we be released to explore? How can we go back? Do we need to clear the level?"

"Why us? What should we do now?" Zhang Yang said confusedly, "I don't play much games, will we fight for equipment? What if we lose? Will we die?"

"It won't be so cruel, will it?"

Shen Lin said: "Generally speaking, there will be a game guide, otherwise it will be too unfriendly to novices."

As soon as the words were finished, the depressing sound of the conch horn came from the depths of the sea, and the rule card suddenly moved. Then, the card began to be haunted under the noses of everyone. The whole card was turned over, revealing a Paper villain.

The paper figurine first bounced its upper body off the paper and sat up. After a moment of silence, it twisted its body, turned its faceless head in the direction of Shen Lin, raised its chubby arms, and greeted warmly: " Hi! My dear friends!"

Shen Lin: "..."

It put both hands on the paper, and before it could pull it up like a carrot, Han Qianqiu quickly turned it over.

Han Qianqiu pressed the card desperately, and looked at them in horror: "He moved, he moved, he moved! The paper man moved by itself!"

Everyone was expressionless.

The corner of Han Qianqiu's mouth trembled: "...Why are you so calm?"

Shen Lin: "Aren't you afraid that it's a little late?"

The paper villain slid out from the gap between the rule card and the table, posed a handsome pose that made his debut, and bowed to the gentleman: "Hi everyone, I am the secret keeper of this game room, Number 98, you can call me KP, now, I will lead you to experience this round of the game, considering that you are all newbies, this round of the game will open the easiest novice mode for you.”

"Great!" Han Qianqiu yelled.

Zhang Yang asked: "Which kind of simplicity? Is it the simplicity that can be passed while lying down?"

"That's not enough, you still need to exercise your muscles and bones," the paper villain raised his hands and gestured like an unusual gentleman, exuding friendliness all over his body: "The basic rules of this game are very simple as you have just seen, you only need to invest in KP In the set game background, make good use of your identities and specialties to explore the world and find the secrets hidden behind it."

"—Simply put, it's role-playing."

"Now, I will introduce you to the background of this game."

The voice rang in the ear, but it seemed to be engraved in the mind, and a memory that did not belong to them clearly appeared in the mind.
