Sioux City, evening, on a deck chair in a park.
Jiang Zhe sat up from the recliner in confusion and looked around.
"Didn't I speed through the game 'Science Horror' at home?"
"Why are you here?"
As he finished speaking, dizziness hit his head like pins and needles. The pain made him grin and slap his head like crazy.
After a while, the pain subsided, and a memory that did not belong to him emerged in his mind - time traveled.
The original owner was a homeless homeless man who died suddenly in the park.
And this world is a world with rules.
More than 200 countries around the world select a chosen one to enter the world of ghost stories to survive.
For those who succeed, the country's national strength, longevity, and physical fitness will be enhanced.
Loser, weirdly invade a city for 48 hours.
After absorbing all the memories, Jiang Zhe couldn't help his Adam's apple throbbing, his pupils dilated, and his breathing became rapid.
The strange rules of this world are actually the games he cleared in his previous life!
"I am the number one speedrunner in the world!"
After a moment of excitement he calmed down.
"Unfortunately, there are 1.4 billion people in the Xia Kingdom, so they may not be able to filter me out."
While he was thinking this, the desperate sounds of people came from nearby.
"It's over, Xia Kingdom's challenger Zhang Qiang failed!"
"This 9-star copy has failed players all over the world!"
"If it fails again, there will be a 48-hour weird attack all over the world."
In addition to the crowds of people wailing all over the field.
The global live broadcast room in the night sky was filled with barrages.
[Xia Guo Expert]: "A 9-star copy is almost impossible to pass!"
[Expert from Cat and Panda Country]: "Our contestant Sukabu also failed. Rabbit, do you have any weapons against the next strange invasion? Don't hide them. We know you must have them!"
[Xia Guo Expert]: "Really not!!"
[Beautiful Country Expert]: "Damn rabbit, he stole so many of our technologies and can't even use them to deal with the weird ones. I'll grab your rabbit ears and burn you tonight!"
[Australia Expert]: "Fortunately, there is a resurrection match for the 9-star dungeon."
[Little Canadian Expert]: "Look, the Easter match is coming!"
【...】
"Is there also an Easter match?"
Jiang Zhe looked up along with the frightened people nearby.
Looking at the blood-red sky being covered by a golden banner that stretches across the sky——
[The Chosen One of Xia Kingdom, Zhang Qiang, failed to challenge the 9-star difficulty 'Chaos Court', survival time, 4 hours]
[The Chosen One of Beautiful Country, John Carter, failed to challenge the 9-star difficulty 'Chaos Court', survival time, 5 hours]
[The Chosen One of the Panda Kingdom, Sukabu...Survival time, 4 hours]
【...】
[The resurrection match will come in 1 minute, please be prepared for the chosen ones around the world! 】
"A chaotic science court?"
Looking at the golden banner under the blood moon, Jiang Zhe was stunned.
He remembered that this level was a purgatory-level dungeon. It was a game script derived from the paradox: 'The Paradox of Accidental Execution' by the game planner in his previous life.
In this level, no matter which path you take, it will still be a decisive victory in the end. It can be said to be a fatal situation!
In his last life, he spent nearly 27 days progressing on this level. Fortunately, he was not careful and finally passed the level after a total of 797 deaths.
He once won the 1 million yuan prize money in the global rankings for speed, which caused him to suddenly die and travel through this world. He did not have time to appreciate the story behind this chaotic court.
Now that he has traveled to a different world, he can experience the dungeon again, and it can also be upgraded and become stronger. He vowed to master every level.
[One minute is up, the Easter match has started and screening is in progress! 】
As the prompt fell, all men, women, and children in the park square closed their eyes and observed silence. They hoped that this time the screeners could learn from the lessons of the previous chosen ones and buy more survival time for Xia Kingdom.
While the rules system was filtering, barrages kept popping up from the Xia Kingdom live broadcast room in the sky.
"This 9-star difficulty is probably a punishment stage. There were too many people who passed the previous stage with a 0.5-star ghost mother's note!"
"Yeah, it suddenly jumped from 0.5 to 9, and almost the entire army was wiped out."
"Hey, don't look any further. No matter who the next Chosen One is, he won't be able to pass. Let's just wait for God's punishment!"
"I used mathematical probability to calculate the 9-star dungeon. Without a super talent, I'm afraid it would take an ordinary person to die about 1,400 times to successfully clear the level once!"
"..."
This 9-star difficulty requires not only exquisite reasoning, but also excellent choices, which is comparable to purgatory!
Just when the global audience was on tenterhooks, a new golden banner of the Chosen One appeared in the sky.
[Xia Kingdom’s chosen one—Jiang Zhe! 】
[The Chosen One of Beautiful Country—John Smith! 】
[The Chosen One of the Panda Kingdom—Oleg! 】
【...】
Now that the audience saw the name of the chosen one, they all shook their heads disapprovingly. This is a copy that will lead to death!
If you are not a master of criminal investigation and reasoning in reality, it is impossible for anyone to survive for 7 days.
Facing the 9-star dungeon, the expert team reluctantly smiled. Even if Sherlock Holmes came, he would die suddenly inside.
But for the sake of rules and regulations, they still took a look at Su Shi Jiang Zhe's identity information.
It's okay if you don't look at it. This look shocked all the experts.
"Tramp?"xN
The entire expert conference room was dumbfounded.
...
As the Chosen One arrives, Jiang Zhe is shattered into a beam of white light rising into the sky.
When he opened his eyes again, he was already on the balcony outside the court.
There was a dark sky outside the window, but there was a strange light inside the court building, making it look like the surface of the moon.
[It has been detected that the player has entered the 9-star dungeon for the first time and is screening talents]
[It is detected that another soul in the player's brain has just dissipated, and a permanent SSS-level reward is awarded: 'Unscientific Summoning']
[Unscientific Summoning: You can summon any character from movies, animations, and novels that are familiar in your mind. As your partner and protector, you can go through levels together on lonely nights. The summoned person will be killed strangely. If he dies, he will also die in the original world! 】
Listen to the prompts in your head.
Jiang Zhe couldn't help but laugh.
"SSS level reward!"
“For me, a speedrunner, it’s dispensable.”
"But to be on the safe side, I'd better call a powerful anime character to protect me, or... kill me."
Before the game started, he turned around and entered the court lobby in advance.
There was no one here, so he chose to sit in the back seat, then closed his eyes, and one heroic character after another appeared in his mind.
Deadpool, Doctor Strange, Li Xiaoyao, Moon Worshiping Leader, etc.
After deciding on a hero!
"call!"
Then a white light appeared from the seat next to him.
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw a short man. He felt bad and felt that his body was distorted.
"It can't be you, right?"
Jiang Zhe turned his head blankly.
I saw that the other party was a 1.2 meter primary school student, wearing a light blue suit, a red bow tie on the chest, medium brown hair, light blue shorts, and a pair of enhanced elastic football shoes on his feet. The most conspicuous thing is the black-framed tracking glasses on his face, which shows a pale look of shock.
"Are you from the black organization!?" Conan instantly raised his watch, aimed at Jiang Zhe, and fired a stun needle at any time.
"Edogawa Conan?"
The two of them asked in unison.
