——Am I dead?
Su Mingan's heart was still pounding, and the powerless feeling of death was still there. He found himself floating in a void.
The words of the woman in the café came to his mind.
"Has the game... begun?" He said to himself: "What is the purpose of the game...?"
This game's presentation methods were a little outrageous, and there were many questions. It could drag him into the game without any awareness, and he even thought it was reality.
Logically speaking, I should have failed, but why... seems I can still load files?
Two scenes appeared in front of him, one was a frozen scene of him standing on the street in the afternoon, and the other was the dark room at night.
[Archive time point 1·Street in the afternoon/Archive time point 2·Night room]
"Is there an archive for this game?" Su Mingan was a little confused, but after thinking about it, he read Archive 2.
…
Su Mingan opened his eyes.
The field of vision in front of her was still a little blurry, but the girl's skirt was vaguely visible.
She was looking at him with a smile, expectation in her eyes, and a tempting snack in her hand.
"Panel?" He took the snack and immediately whispered tentatively. Unexpectedly, there was a sudden light in front of him.
A blue screen of light appeared in front of him.
But before he looked carefully, he heard the system prompt:
[Tip: You are currently in the world game·personal pre-level. The process of this level is very short. You only need to achieve the fixed goal to reach the ending! Officially enter the world game with all players! 】
[Current fixed goal: survive]
[You have triggered the clue mechanism. Combining clues to explore the level can lead to different endings of this level! 】
[Currently the world ending can be achieved:
HE (happy end/positive ending) line·fly together
TE (true end/real ending) line · Awakening from a dream
NE (normal end/normal ending) line·her "collection")]
...It is indeed a game.
"Try some snacks." Shen Xue said from the side, looking extremely normal.
But when Su Mingan looked at her, he clearly saw a text appearing in his field of vision:
【*Obtain clue 3·Strange bulge】
[(Strange bulge): I noticed that the skirt of the girl in front of me was bulging... What exactly was she hiding? I was curious about it, but I probably didn't have the courage to reach out and look. 】
[Customs clearance progress: 10%]
[The clues have been recorded in the clue column and can be viewed at any time. 】
Su Ming'an had noticed before that Shen Xue's skirt looked strange, but he was not the kind of person to stare at other girls' skirts. He didn't expect that after the "clue mechanism" was activated, there were actually question.
The aroma in the room was still there. Su Mingan put down the snack and picked up the phone: "I'm going to the bathroom."
He needed to go somewhere else first, at least away from Shen Xue's sight.
He had noticed before that the fragrance in the room was too strong...
He stood up, his legs were a little weak, but his hand still held the phone firmly, and he walked straight towards the locked room.
When passing by the dining room table, he saw two sets of tea sets on the table, both of which seemed to be used.
Before he could take a closer look, he suddenly smelled a strange, irritating smell that went straight into his nose.
【*Get clue 2 formalin】
[(Formalin): Why does the girl’s home... smell of formalin? Could it be that...she also likes to eat it with formalin as a side dish? 】
[Definition of term: 35%-45% formaldehyde aqueous solution, colorless and transparent in appearance, corrosive, widely used, and also used for corpse embalming. 】
[Customs clearance progress: 20%]
"...Wait a minute, Brother Ming'an." The girl's soft voice came from behind.
Su Mingan immediately held his breath and turned around.
What caught my eye was not the bottle of death-like spray.
The girl's fingers touched his face, like a dragonfly touching water.
Su Mingan didn't dare to stay, so she turned around and entered the bathroom, locking the door quickly.
He wanted to try again to see if he could summon other functions, but he felt less and less powerful...
Su Mingan's eyes became heavy, and then her breathing became more and more rapid...
…
【You are dead...】
Su Mingan instantly selected [Archive 2].
…
"...Try some snacks."
A dreamy voice rang in my ears. The girl leaned forward, her eyes as bright as water, and her look was particularly alluring in the night.
Su Mingan looked at her, and the girl looked at him tenderly, like looking at a bright treasure.
The next moment, he directly took out the knife, suppressing the trembling in his hand, and stabbed the girl's chest quickly and accurately in an instant.
【——HP-170! (Critical hit! Fatal injury!)]
Numbers like this popped up in front of my eyes.
[You have chosen to attack the key NPC Shen Xue]
[Entering the Violent Clearance Line and Killing Line - "Maybe I will understand that if I cannot eliminate all crises around me, I will eliminate the people who caused the crisis."]
[Perfect clearance process: 50%]
There was still doubt in Shen Xue's eyes, and then, as the blood flowed out, she raised the corners of her lips.
"Brother Ming'an...I like you the most..." She murmured, her voice like whispering in a dream.
"puff!"
Su Mingan stabbed her again, slicing her throat directly.
【——HP-200! (Final injury!)]
Shen Xue fell to the ground, blood splashed all over the ground, and a room of red flowers bloomed.
"Bang!"
[You killed Shen Xue (human species), Exp+20]
Su Mingan let go of the dagger softly and fell to the ground, his body stained with her blood.
He turned on his phone in a daze, and suddenly heard the sound of water dripping behind him.
——There are still people!
He wanted to turn around quickly.
"Boom!" There was a crisp sound.
In the blood light, another figure holding a hammer was reflected.
The young man's headless body swayed for a moment and then fell into a pool of blood.
【You are dead...】
…
Under the afternoon sun, the shade of the trees casts a broken halo.
A young college student in ordinary clothes stood under a tree on the street, the screen in his hand shining brightly.
[Shen Xue: Su Mingan, don’t forget the party tonight. 】
"Uh-huh!"
The water splashed by the vehicle next to him directly splashed all over him.
His breathing seemed to have been suffocated, until now, the air flowed in from the outside world, cooling his chest.
"..." Su Mingan touched his waist and accurately felt the cold touch of the dagger he carried.
The previous two deaths were caused by poisoning, and neither death was as tragic as the third time.
His head exploded, and the moment of death was so clear that he still felt a little cold in his heart.
He moved quickly and took a taxi all the way back to his home. During this period, he asked several classmates who were said to be attending the party, and they all said that this was not the case.
"Brother Ming'an, you must have stayed up too late," said my best friend Bo Long.
Previously, because he was not very familiar with his high school classmates, he did not know them in advance - it turned out that the class beauty had only invited him to this party.
His memory stayed in the living room that seemed to be filled with dark fire.
The white skin, the red cheeks, and the deadly spray...
"The game...has started." Su Mingan muttered: "A global competitive game? Shen Xue is a system character and I am the only player? Or is this an entry level?"
If he hadn't called out the "panel" at that time, he might not have known that he was already in the game.
After this level is completed, will the game be officially launched?
So, this is a qualifying round?
"panel."
When he called out the panel again, he looked familiar.
A blue panel appeared in front of his eyes:
【personal information】

"Ding dong" the phone made a sound.
It had rang several times before, but Su Mingan had ignored it. Now the screen lit up, attracting his attention.
[Shen Xue: Why don’t you reply to me? 】
[Shen Xue:...Aren't you coming? I've prepared your favorite tea and snacks for you. 】
[Shen Xue:...Why don't you come? Did I do something wrong? 】
[Shen Xue:...]
…
[Shen Xue: Open the door, I'm coming. 】
…
"Ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding~" the doorbell emits playful music.
Su Ming'an's eyes instantly looked toward the door——
On the screen, a beautiful girl in a floral skirt and black hair shawl put one hand behind her back, revealing the corner of a spray bottle.
"Open the door, Brother Ming'an." Her voice seemed a bit cold.
…
"Bang!" "Bang!"
Su Mingan stood up immediately, closed and locked the surrounding windows, and then opened the door after confirming that no one was home.
Outside the door, a girl with black hair shawl is particularly beautiful and charming.
"You kept me waiting for a long time." Shen Xue said half-coquettishly.
"Come in." Su Ming'an confirmed that she saw no one except her.
Then, he led her to the sofa, poured her a cup of tea and served her a stack of snacks.
Shen Xue's facial muscles were a little stiff. Apparently she didn't expect that her preparations completely overlapped with Su Ming'an's.
"None of them are what I like." Shen Xue pouted and said, "Obviously I prepared Brother Ming'an's favorite..."
"Don't want to eat?"
"Eat, eat, eat. Brother Ming'an prepared this for me..." She hid the spray under her skirt, kept her hands free, and ate several pieces of cake.
While Shen Xue was eating, Su Mingan also accurately saw the bulge under her skirt.
[Clue link! 】
He suddenly heard the system prompt.
[Inference 1: Shen Xue seems to be hiding something under her skirt. What does she want to do? ——Although I don’t quite understand, I swear by my charm A that she at least isn’t trying to seduce me. 】
...This system prompts that it is genuine leather.
Su Mingan ignored it. He had seen this clue in the previous episode.
But now, he just looked at the girl in front of him quietly, watching her eating the snacks he gave her.
In the past, Shen Xue would only feel extremely happy, but now when that unblinking gaze fell on herself, she felt an inexplicable chill.
She choked a little, put down her snack, and asked in a dumb voice: "Brother Ming'an... what are you looking at me for..."
"No." Su Mingan quickly pulled out the dagger from his waist, and then suddenly put his hand on Shen Xue, pressing her down directly.
"Brother Ming'an...!" Shen Xue panicked and immediately wanted to take out the spray, only to realize that she had gradually lost strength.
"Where is that person in your family?"
"What? Brother Ming'an, please let me go..." Shen Xuequiang smiled and said, "I'm the only one at home..."
"It seems that the other one is not here." Su Mingan looked at the display screen at the door, but there was no one there.
"Brother Ming'an, there is something I haven't told you..." Shen Xue, who had regained her composure, looked at her sweetheart who was so close, and felt that her whole heart was beating like a deer, completely ignoring the handle. The dagger is right in front of me, but my cheeks are gradually stained with blush——
"I like..."
"Uh-huh!"
A deep blood mark exploded in the girl's throat.
【——HP-200! (Fatal injury!)]
[You killed Shen Xue (human species), Exp+20]
"If you want to be with a corpse, turn yourself into a corpse first." Su Mingan wiped her face with the dagger.
Shen Xue's eyes gradually lost their luster.
At the same time, Su Mingan also heard a new system prompt:
[You choose to kill the key NPC Shen Xue, and the world line changes slightly]
【——You have entered the TE line·It’s like waking up from a dream. 】
[You found the item (the dead Shen Xue), do you want to start reconnaissance? (Clues obtained through reconnaissance are related to spirit and wisdom)]
"Investigation."
[*You have obtained the key clue (Shen Xue’s love diary)]
A blood-red diary appeared in his hand, and Su Mingan opened it.
The title page is filled with blood-red words. The recorder used the pen very hard, and the words were carved on the yellowed paper, like deep blood marks.
[Su Mingan, do you like me? 】
【I like you, I don’t know how much I like you. 】
[I like you... I want to be with you forever. Sister Anna told me that as long as I can keep you completely, cut off your hands and feet, slit your throat, and make you mine... we We can truly be together forever. 】
Such words are densely packed, and the girl seemed to have devoted all her love to him when she was alive. Every word is very disgusting, full of the deep love emotions of young people.
But when he was looking at the girl's body, he only felt ridiculous.
As he continued to read, Shen Xue's handwriting became more and more messy, and there was even faint dried blood on it, giving off a sense of hysteria and madness:
[Perhaps it’s the blood rushing into my brain that burns my reason, or maybe my tongue is being pulled by the thread, I can’t say the words I love you. 】
[Every time I see your silent eyes, I feel that the sense of loss and falling in my heart is getting stronger and stronger... It's like a pair of big hands, pulling my limbs, grabbing my hair, pressing Holding my head, pushing down hard. 】
[Looking at my unwavering eyes, it was as if I was controlled by an invisible force and turned into a puppet with no resistance. 】
[And the thread that holds me is my own greed and love. 】
[——Can’t break free, can’t escape. 】
[This thread is on fire, strangling my skin, embedded in my flesh, like a soldering iron, burning my entire self. Perhaps only death can escape this sweet pain. 】
[So, after writing this paragraph. 】
[I decided to invite you one last time. 】
[As long as you agree, I don’t have to completely turn you into mine. We can always be together happily. 】
[But if...you refuse...]
【……】
He turned to the last page.
The font that was enlarged for a moment was dripping with blood, which shocked him slightly.
【——Just become my "beloved" completely. 】
"Dong dong dong!"
At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and a slender woman stood outside the door.
"Shen Xue, Shen Xue, are you in there?" The woman knocked on the door, seeming a little anxious.
Su Ming'an knew that this was probably the woman who lived with Shen Xue. The person who beat her to death with a hammer last week was probably the "Sister Anna" in Shen Xue's diary.
He used the dagger handle to push the death spray out from under the girl's skirt, then picked it up and walked to the door.
"——Shen Xue, Shen Xue? Reply?"
The woman didn't get a reply, so she was a little anxious, and her hands gradually moved towards her back——
"Bang!" The door opened instantly.
The young man holding the spray covered his nose and pressed it down suddenly with his fingertips!
The woman was unprepared, her legs weakened and she fell instantly.
Su Ming'an stood there, watching her die, breathing a little quickly.
[Ding dong! 】
Different from other ringtones, a particularly clear ringing sound resounded in his mind.
[Congratulations on completing the level! (The process of the novice dungeon world is very short, and the subsequent official dungeon world will expand the process. 】

The next moment, the vision changed drastically.
…
