Chapter 1 Chen Xiaomiao

Chen Xiaomiao? Miaofa?

Wasn't that the woman Captain Wu brought back?

Qing Chen was a little surprised.

Qing Chen didn't know much about her. As far as he knew, this woman had betrayed An Dong'er, whom Captain Wu and Night boss cared about, to the Phoenix Organization.

She used this as a token of allegiance to join the Phoenix Organization.

Therefore, after Captain Wu learned of this, he tortured her severely, and after asking about the whole thing, he used a sharp shackle next to him to directly stab Miaofa's neck, killing her.

This happened a few days before the [Coffin Pulling Ghoul] arrived in Qing Si County.

Neither he nor Night boss and others knew about it until after the fact that Captain Wu had killed someone.

But since she was a traitor who did such a thing, it seemed okay for her to be killed by the angry Captain Wu.

Besides, Miaofa was originally a player, so she could just be reborn after death.

At that time, no one felt there was anything wrong with this. Only Tian Dan Zhi Yuan Wu let out a frightened cry when she heard the news, but seeing that everyone else had no reaction, there was no follow-up.

As a result, Qing Si County was almost leveled by the ghouls, and so much time had passed.

Suddenly, he saw such a message from a private message on the forum.

Scratching his head, Qing Chen opened the private message.

The content of the private message was very simple.

"My name is Chen Xiaomiao, game ID [Miaofa]. By the time you see this letter, I should already be dead."

"I am an ordinary player in the game *Blue Sea*."

"A few hours ago, I was subjected to a round of cruel torture in the game and was eventually killed."

"I was forced to log out of the game. This should have just been a small failure."

"But a few minutes later, I discovered that my real body was synchronously showing the scars, injuries, and wounds I suffered in the game. My whole body is now covered in blood. I remember very clearly that my tongue is about to be pulled out. I'm very scared, I'm in a lot of pain, I regret it so much... Wuwuwuwu... According to my memory, after my tongue is pulled out, I will be pierced through the neck by a shackle and die in a few minutes..."

"I didn't expect it to turn out like this... I really didn't do it on purpose..."

"I was wrong... I was really wrong..."

"No matter who you are, please, please let me go! Let me go! I don't want to die... I don't want to die..."

"If I die, I swear I will ask my friend to make this video public to the whole country! We'll fight to the death!!"

It was still broad daylight, with the sun shining brightly.

But Qing Chen felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave, his whole body shivering with cold.

These words were like a cold horror story, scaring him so much that his hands were trembling.

Every line of text seemed to have a voice function, echoing in his mind.

Not only because of the information in these words, but also because he knew Miaofa in the game!

With trembling hands, he pulled the private message to the end, where a video was attached below the text.

Even though he wasn't watching a horror movie, Qing Chen was so scared that he didn't have the courage to open the video.

Finally, as if gathering all his courage, Qing Chen gritted his teeth and opened the video...

The screen went from dark to suddenly bright, as if a light had been suddenly turned on in a dark space.

The light on the screen was a little dazzling, and Qing Chen squinted to look carefully.

He found that the space in the picture seemed to be in the bathroom of a luxuriously decorated room in a high-end residential building.

A woman with quite a pretty face had a wound on her cheek that looked like it had been cut with a sharp weapon.

Her right hand also had many bloody holes, and an uninformed person would have thought it was self-inflicted.

The woman was holding a cell phone, facing the mirror with a nervous, terrified, and desperate expression.

"My name is Chen Xiaomiao, game ID [Miaofa]. By the time you see this letter, I should already be dead."

"I am in the game *Blue Sea*..."

In the video, the woman's words were exactly the same as the text in the previous private message.

It was just that as the woman spoke, one horrifying wound after another began to appear on her body, face, hands, and feet.

These were all unannounced, suddenly splitting open from inside her body to form wounds.

And each time a wound formed, the woman screamed, tears streaming down her face.

When the woman said that her tongue would be pulled out in a few minutes, she paused for a moment and seemed to send some information out with her phone.

Then she cried. She began to beg for mercy and threaten, and finally suddenly lowered her head and spurted out blood, and when she looked up again, she opened her mouth in horror, and sure enough, her tongue was gone.

Then, a sharp, huge wound appeared on her neck, as if a sharp weapon had pierced through it.

The corpse fell to the ground, her eyes becoming lifeless.

The phone fell to the ground, and the final shot of the cracked screen just happened to be aimed at Chen Xiaomiao's pale face after death.

Then, the video ended as if it had been preset to end at a precise time.

Qing Chen didn't know what happened next, but he was shaking.

Shaking with fear!

How could... this be?

What exactly is this game...?

Qing Chen looked in horror at the game watch on his wrist and quickly took it off, throwing it onto the computer desk as if he were throwing away a bomb.

He trembled all over as he backed away, suddenly falling to the ground, crawling to the corner on his hands and feet, and slowly curled up like an autistic person.

"Playing this game... will kill you..."

"Among the experimental subjects I helped the Phoenix Organization's researchers kill... there were also players..."

"My hands... are also stained with blood..."

Qing Chen felt his breathing becoming difficult, opened his mouth and bit his arm, and let out a painful roar.

"How could it be like this... How could it be like this! Beast!!"

"Then those things I did for the Phoenix Organization before..."

"How could it be like this..."

...

Lian Shou Hui (Joint Council).

"Investigate!" Chairman Qian roared with a gloomy face.

Qiu Dugu responded, "We're investigating."

"Seal it!"

"We're sealing it..."

"A bunch of useless eaters! They call themselves the strongest hackers in the country, but they couldn't even detect this kind of small video and even sent it to the private messages of all game forums!"

With a snap, Chairman Qian hammered the glass table hard, and the glass table shattered into pieces, turning into a pile of glass shards.

No wonder the [Ghoul Level Line] has been rising crazily these past few days.

Even though Qiu Dugu tried desperately to suppress it, he couldn't.

So the problem was here!

"Those trash hackers from the [Internet Society]!" Chairman Qian couldn't help but curse again.

No wonder he lost his composure, because the source of the matter was here with him.

And the fermentation and spread of the matter had affected the whole country!

The other Lian Shou Hui (Joint Council) branches in other regions all saw their [Ghoul Level Line] explode because of his mistakes!

If there was someone else to replace him, his official hat would have been taken off on the spot for this mistake.

"Chairman Qian! The hackers in the council have found the target!"
