Chapter 60 – Wang Xun’s gift, third instance!
"You brat, didn\'t I tell you not to wander around?"
Qin Yushi grabbed Qin Nuo\'s ear and glared at him.
"I\'m not a kid," Qin Nuo said, brushing off her hand, feeling a bit speechless.
He thought to himself that his sister was overreacting; he\'s an adult, not someone who could just be abducted.
"Newcomers forcibly sent into the horror game often develop severe psychological issues, sometimes without even realizing it themselves."
"The confusion between the real world and the horror world can lead to chaotic thoughts. In Jinzhou, more than ten people have committed suicide by jumping off buildings after participating in the horror game."
"Moreover, you\'ve participated in the horror game twice in a row."
"Your sister is worried you might not be able to handle it. You\'re still in the observation period, understand?" Wang Xun, sitting in the living room, put down her teacup and said.
For the past two hours, Qin Yushi had been calling non-stop, nearly driving herself crazy with worry.
Qin Nuo suddenly understood and briefly explained how someone claiming to be a police officer had taken him away.
Qin Yushi looked at Wang Xun in confusion, and the latter nodded, "Yes, that\'s indeed the case."
"Newcomers who have completed the horror game not only need psychological counseling but also need to understand the horror curse and prepare in advance."
"Sister Xun, do you know someone named Ye Ming?" Qin Nuo asked, thinking of something.
Hearing the name, Wang Xun frowned slightly, seemingly unimpressed by the person. "I know him."
"He\'s also a police officer, but he\'s shady, often mingling with those private gaming organizations."
Then, Wang Xun thought of something and warned, "This person is not simple. It\'s best if you don\'t get involved with him."
Qin Nuo nodded thoughtfully and then smiled, "Sister Xun, you didn\'t just come here to tell me this, did you?"
He could tell that Wang Xun was here for him, not his sister.
Otherwise, she wouldn\'t have been sitting on the sofa drinking tea all this time.
Wang Xun took out a device and placed it on the table.
The device resembled a pocket watch but had a fingerprint panel on it.
"This is called a login device. From the name, you can guess what it is. It\'s the only medium that allows travel between the horror game and the real world. In the news, those players who enter instances at will do so through this. Once your fingerprint is recorded, the protection mechanism activates, sending the player into the game."
Qin Nuo was taken aback, "You want to give this to me?"
"You reckless boy, to be honest, I don\'t want to give it to you."
"But it\'s a national regulation. Those forcibly sent into the horror game must have one."
"The horror curse presents many uncertainties, and the country can\'t look after everyone. So, the login device is your safeguard. At least under the protection mechanism, entering an instance greatly reduces the mortality rate," Wang Xun explained.
"That\'s quite humane," Qin Nuo said with a smile as he took it in his hand.
Seeing his nonchalant demeanor, Wang Xun was a bit displeased. "You don\'t seem to understand. This isn\'t a toy; it\'s for survival."
"Don\'t think you can be like those online players, entering instances at will to earn rewards and profit."
"That\'s a foolish idea, especially for a newcomer like you!"
Qin Nuo smiled slightly, "Don\'t worry."
"After participating in two horror games, my courage is nearly gone. If it weren\'t for a pro carrying me, I\'d be done for."
"Unless I lose my mind, why would I willingly enter such a terrifying game?"
Blood-Eyed Ghost: "No need to insult yourself like that."
Wang Xun agreed.
After all, the second time, Qin Nuo entered to save his sister out of urgency.
Without special reasons, no one would want to touch this thing.
Those professional players are specially trained, with strong hearts and rich experience in instances, making it their livelihood.
In Wang Xun\'s eyes, Qin Nuo was far from reaching that level.
"Little Xun, don\'t worry. I know my brother best; he won\'t act recklessly," Qin Yushi added.
Wang Xun nodded, picked up her bag, and stood up, "If there\'s nothing else, I\'ll head back. There\'s still some work at the bureau."
After Wang Xun left, Qin Yushi extended her hand to Qin Nuo, "Give it to me."
Qin Nuo was embarrassed, "Sis, you still don\'t trust me?"
"I\'m going back to school in a couple of days. It\'s because I know you too well that I\'m worried."
Qin Nuo said, "What if I need it someday?"
Qin Yushi thought for a moment and said, "I\'ll hide it somewhere in the house. If you need it, call me, and I\'ll tell you where it is."
Qin Nuo sighed, "Alright, here you go."
Qin Nuo handed over the login device with his right hand before giving it to Qin Yushi.
Qin Yushi took it and smiled slightly, "I\'m doing this for your own good."
"Get ready to go grocery shopping with me. Pick whatever you want to eat. Once I go back to school, who knows when I\'ll see my good brother again!" Qin Yushi said, patting Qin Nuo\'s head with a smile.
The next day, Qin Yushi dragged her suitcase back to school, with Qin Nuo accompanying her to the roadside.
"Make sure to eat well and don\'t stay up late!"
Qin Yushi waved to Qin Nuo before getting into a taxi.
As Qin Nuo disappeared at the end of the road, Qin Yushi sat back in her seat, her smile fading, and took out her phone to dial a number.
"Hello, it\'s me."
"His symptoms are getting worse. The non-existent memories of his parents have deeply rooted in his mind, and you must find a way..."
...
At that moment, Qin Nuo returned home.
Throwing his coat aside, Qin Nuo asked the Blood-Eyed Ghost, "Where did my sister hide it?"
The reason he handed it over with his right hand was to let the Blood-Eyed Ghost\'s ghost aura stick to it, so no matter where it was hidden, the Blood-Eyed Ghost could find it.
"In her room."
Soon, Qin Nuo found the login device hidden in a secret compartment under the floorboard of Qin Yushi\'s bedside table.
"This is too much."
"Even thieves wouldn\'t go this far!" Qin Nuo thought, exasperated.
Placing the login device on the table, Qin Nuo began to prepare.
This time entering the game, completing the instance was secondary.
The main goal was to visit the Nether Springs Restaurant and upgrade his player level to 3.
Unlock the position of [Deputy Manager]!
Qin Nuo couldn\'t bear to leave the horror world\'s business unattended.
After all, he had worked hard to build it, and it would be a shame to let it go to waste.
Moreover, Qin Nuo believed that these businesses in the horror world would greatly aid him in future instances.
"I wonder what this instance will be like?"
"With a player level of 2, it shouldn\'t be too difficult. Hopefully, it won\'t have a frustrating game mechanism like the \'Escape Mode\' last time."
Qin Nuo murmured to himself.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Without further ado, he pressed his thumb onto the login device.
The panel lit up, as if activated, with various components whirring and a blue light shimmering.
"Fingerprint recording in progress..."
"Fingerprint recorded successfully, player preparing to log in..."
As the words fell, Qin Nuo instantly vanished from the room.
After Qin Nuo disappeared, the phone in the living room suddenly rang. It was Tang Ming calling, and it rang for a long time, seemingly with something urgent...
At the same time.
In a studio somewhere in Jinzhou City.
Everyone suddenly became excited, running around in a flurry.
A man shouted loudly, "Attention everyone! We\'ve detected a player phantom logging into the game!"
"Everyone, log in at the same time as him, enter the instance, and if anyone matches into the same instance as him, follow the plan!"
"Did you hear me?"
"Yes!!"
The prepared players responded in unison, then pressed their thumbs onto their login devices to record their fingerprints.
In an instant, over fifty people in the room vanished, leaving only a few...
