Chapter 1 The Beginning

Li Ang paused almost imperceptibly as he stepped out of the school gate. He glanced at the parents around him, whose expressions were as normal as could be, took a deep breath, and squeezed his way out of the crowd.

Mission Type: Scripted Mission (Team)

Mission Name: Campus Memories

Mission Objective: Tonight at 19:00, remain alone in front of the mirror in a closed bathroom and await teleportation.

Mission Reward: Will be announced upon receiving the next mission prompt.

Failure Penalty: Obliteration.

This mission, like the one in the shopping mall, did not directly reveal the mission objective or the reward.

If Li Ang was able to gather some crucial information about the Longheng Shopping Mall last time, then this mission was completely in the dark.

"The only two pieces of information available for analysis are 'Campus Memories' and 'the mirror in a closed bathroom.'"

Li Ang got on his bicycle and rode in the direction of his home, silently thinking to himself,

"Memories refer to things that happened in the past, but which school will it be?

Could it be Yishi Experimental Middle School? Or a school in another region, or even another time and space?

Remaining alone in front of the mirror in a closed bathroom sounds like a spooky game from some urban legends. Perhaps I can start from the perspective of religious mysticism and collect information about relevant rituals."

Li Ang did not go straight home. Instead, he went to a public restroom and changed his clothes in a stall.

Disguised as a tall, thin young man, he spent money in a furniture store to buy six medium-sized full-length mirrors commonly used in clothing stores, tied them together, and placed them on the back of his bicycle.

He rode the mirrors around Yishi, put all the mirrors into his backpack in a surveillance blind spot, then changed his clothes again in the restroom, and rode his bike back home.

Once home, Li Ang sat down at his computer and contacted the intelligence broker named "Mule" on luntan (forum),

commissioning the latter to help collect information about mysterious rituals, as well as similar mission briefings.

Mule accepted the commission, "About 100 game coins."

The mission types in the Killing Game were varied, and the methods of clearing them were diverse. Each player's clearing experience was valuable research material.

After completing a mission, many players would summarize and categorize the mission briefing (of course, they would hide their relevant information) and sell it in a package to strategy groups or intelligence brokers. Nanshan Sword Hero Academy

Whenever another player received a scripted mission and wanted to look at the strategy to find a solution, they would need to find a strategy group or intelligence broker to purchase it.

As for the price, it would be divided according to the level of the player who performed the mission at that time.

The higher the difficulty, the more expensive the price.

Li Ang, as a local tyrant with more than 4,000 game coins, sent Mule a deposit of 50 game coins without batting an eye.

While waiting for Mule to send the files, he began to search for information about Yishi Experimental Middle School.

Experimental Middle School was the school he attended and the place closest to his real identity.

If the background of the scripted mission was really Yishi Experimental Middle School, then he had to be extremely vigilant toward those "teammates" encountered in the mission and never reveal his true identity.

Li Ang found a lot of relevant information about Experimental Middle School. At 6:15, he received the file sent by Mule.

He quickly read the file, skimming through it, and at 6:45, he began to organize his equipment, put on his S.W.A.T. officer uniform, and entered his own bathroom.

Since the mission objective required him to remain "alone," Li Ang had Chai Cuiqiao enter the black umbrella and then put the black umbrella into the backpack slot. He then locked the bathroom door from the inside.

The light in the bathroom was pale and cold,

and the slightly humid air was filled with a faint fragrance.

Li Ang examined himself in the mirror. Well, that melancholy look in his eyes, the sparse stubble, and the charming yet cold smile were definitely him.

Fifteen minutes passed slowly, and nothing like "his reflection suddenly bleeding from all seven orifices" happened.

He just blinked, and when he opened his eyes again, Li Ang was standing on a vast and desolate playground.

A ray of setting sun hung on the horizon, and the red霞光 (xiaguang, rosy clouds) enveloped the earth, but it could not bring the slightest warmth. Instead, it shrouded everything in a layer of indescribable obscure and gloomy aura.

The grass in the center of the playground was withered and yellow, overgrown with weeds. From where Li Ang was standing, he could see two teaching buildings and a student dormitory.

"Judging from the layout, this is not Yishi Experimental Middle School, but another modern school." Chunyang First Headmaster

Li Ang secretly breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the two figures standing beside him.

One of them was wearing a black canvas shirt, a black hat, white gloves, and holding a wooden long staff. His face was covered by a white mask shaped like a bird's beak.

This was a 17th-century European "Black Death doctor's outfit." The bird-shaped mask could help doctors at the time filter the air and avoid being infected by diseases.

The other person was wearing an ordinary blue and white plaid shirt, brown jeans, and carrying a canvas bag. Surprisingly, he wasn't wearing a mask, just a pair of black round glasses.

No mask?

Li Ang glanced at the man in the blue and white shirt with some curiosity, but found that no matter what, he couldn't recreate his appearance in his mind.

Instead, the image of the round glasses became clearer and clearer.

It was as if...the glasses were his true form.

The three of them sized each other up for a while without speaking—they were all waiting for the system prompt to arrive.

All players have arrived. The next stage of mission prompts will now be announced.

The three players held their breath and listened carefully. However, the originally mechanical and cold system prompt suddenly trembled and turned into a middle-aged man's hoarse voice.

Get me out.

Li Ang's expression changed. This was the first time he had encountered a change in the system prompt.

Before he could carefully analyze what this meant, the voice changed again, becoming a ethereal and echoing female voice. Where are you?

The voice changed again, becoming a young man's slightly resentful voice. I hate you all.

An indistinct male voice, Hee hee hee hahahaha, don't run.

A modulator-altered teenage voice, My head hurts so much.

A dying female voice, I don't want to die.

A teenage boy's desperate cry, I regret it.

Seven voices, seven prompts. When Li Ang and the others were still immersed in shock, the system's original prompt finally arrived late.

Mission Objective: Resolve seven supernatural incidents.

Mission Reward: Micro Life Potion * 1

Mission Time Limit: None

Failure Penalty: None
