Volume 1: The Beginning of the Flame Chapter 1 The game character is actually me
In the evening, the old street lights were not yet on, and most of the shops on both sides had closed their shutters. When the elongated shadows of the dim glow disappeared from the end of the street corner, the whole street was left in darkness.
Desolate and silent.
It is like a terrifying big mouth that wants to swallow everything.
Fang You pulled his collar higher and walked hurriedly, just like the one or two pedestrians you might occasionally run into on the street, keeping a distance as he passed by.
Soon he returned to his residence.
It's an old house with three bedrooms and two living rooms, and it's more than 20 years old.
He clicked on the switch, and the bright white light finally drove away the frightening darkness.
Fang You took two breaths, threw the bag away and sat down on the sofa. He skillfully took out his cell phone from his trouser pocket and swiped it with his thumb.
drop--
Fingerprint card.
The screen is unlocked, and several push notifications keep popping up.
#A city in the Peacock Kingdom was covered by dark clouds for three days. It was predicted to be a doomsday spectacle#
#The bodies in the morgue mysteriously disappeared, and the number was as high as...#
#Buy evil-repelling bracelets on Pinxixi, group purchases start at 10% off#
#It is recommended to keep daily necessities at home#
#White fog appeared in Beijiang City, visibility was less than five meters#
#InvisibleDanger#
These push notifications include news and crappy ads, but without exception...
"It seems that people are getting more and more nervous. There are rumors on the Internet that something strange is happening."
"Just now on my way home, I saw a neighborhood blocked off and a cordon was set up."
"No...something really happened?"
Fang You frowned .
He had occasionally come across some weird videos or pictures before.
But I don’t care, I just do three hits for fun.
It doesn't feel real.
But recently, there have been more and more news about disappearances, strange shadows, blockades, and so on. He began to suspect that a crisis seemed to be approaching , and a chill came over him.
" There's no point in worrying."
"If the sky falls, there will always be someone tall to hold it up."
"I'll just go out less and buy more daily necessities to store at home. The rest of the time I'll just eat and drink. I don't want to scare myself to death when things are actually calm."
Go out less.
Or simply not going out. As long as there is internet, a computer and a mobile phone, it is not a problem for Fang You.
He was a failed writer who didn't earn much but spent little either. He also had the house left by his parents, so at least he could live a decent life.
The only worry is that it’s becoming increasingly difficult to order takeout during this period.
Fang You can only cook for himself, but his cooking skills are poor.
As for eating out?
It is impossible to go out. There may be invisible dangers outside. I can only stay at home and make do with my life.
It had nothing to do with him being too lazy to go downstairs.
Fang You put the ingredients into the refrigerator and glanced at the remaining three and a half boxes of instant noodles.
There are also other items such as rice, noodles, toothpaste, toilet paper, etc.
Well, there is a lot of stock.
It's not a big problem.
Dark clouds covered the moon.
The desolate old city area became increasingly lonely and dark. Only a few lights were on in the residential buildings opposite, which were the only stubborn lights left in the darkness.
"Duk!"
There was a sudden sound from outside the tightly closed security door.
Fang You was surprised for a moment.
“Knock! Knock! Knock!”
Here it comes!
But I didn't order takeout, did I? The courier only delivered to the nearby pick-up point.
He reluctantly climbed out of bed, mumbling something, as the knocking on the door continued.
Tap! Tap! Tap! Tap! …
It's so regular that it seems like a machine.
Fang You was suddenly startled, and his hand, which was about to turn on the living room light, stopped just an inch away from the switch.
Frozen.
The gate not far away grew darker and darker, swallowing up all the light. The constant knocking sounds on the door sounded like a death warrant.
There is a doorbell in his house, and it is in a very conspicuous place!
Moreover, can a normal person knock on the door with exactly the same rhythm and tone like this!
Thinking of the rumors on the Internet during this period, Fang You's heart began to beat rapidly.
With a grim look on his face, he stared at the door.
I tried to move back to my bedroom, but my legs seemed to be out of control.
The knocking on the door was still happening mechanically.
It became louder and louder, like the wail of a dusk drum. My heart began to beat violently along with the buzzing, as if it was about to jump out!
Wow!
Like a sudden stop of heavy rain.
The bang bang bang sounds stopped, and inside and outside the door fell into deathly silence.
Only his heart was still pounding.
When he came to his senses, Fang You found that his forehead and palms were covered with sweat.
He paused for a while, threw away his slippers, stood on tiptoe, and walked forward step by step.
Listen carefully.
Looking at the peephole on the security door in front of me, I wanted to get closer to take a look, but I hesitated and couldn't make up my mind.
Still... a little scared.
Fang You hesitated and finally did not go forward. He hid back in his bedroom, lying on the bed, playing with his mobile phone, but his mind was not on it.
"Maybe, it's a prank by some naughty kid?"
"Am I overthinking it?"
"There is no such thing as invisible danger!"
Fang You admitted that he was a bit cowardly.
No, this cannot be called being cowardly, this is called safety first. If it is really a courier or someone you know, he will definitely call you if the door is not opened after you knock on it.
if……
In short, just don’t open the door!
He didn't think any more about it and decided to find a warm and cozy movie to recover.
I glanced and saw that the phone suddenly entered the installation interface.
[Game is installing...] [Identity binding completed, data loading completed, game started.]
Exquisite CG animation appears.
Dark clouds covered the sky, huge shadows emerged from under the sea, and the dilapidated buildings shrouded in gray fog looked like they had been dried by the wind for a thousand years.
Darkness, desolation, and eternal silence.
A flash of fire suddenly burst out.
Roar! The flames roared! The fearless figure leaped into the darkness under the reflection of the flames.
The picture freezes.
[Savior, are you ready?]
Fang You was stunned.
When did he download the game? Did he accidentally click on it when he was distracted?
He took a few glances.
It's probably a card-drawing and placement mobile game, and the gameplay settings seem quite old-fashioned.
but,
"The painting style seems okay?"
For this kind of mobile games, just watch them and click on the XP.
Since he had nothing to do, Fang You didn’t delete it directly, but clicked on it.
The simple yet sophisticated main interface of the game appeared in front of Fang You.
[Destiny Extraction]
〔List of Apostles〕
〔Item List〕
There are only three items, the others are yet to be opened.
Without those dazzling VIPs, six-yuan first recharge, and endless red dots to click on... Fang You thinks it is still quite comfortable.
It's like it's a bit too brief.
There are no instructions or tutorials for beginners, and the playability seems to be very low.
etc,
I can’t even find the recharge entrance for this game. Is this so conscientious?
Maybe it's hidden in some function.
Fang You clicked on the item list, which was empty, which made sense, but there was no recharge entrance either.
He clicked into the apostle's interface again, and sure enough, it was also empty...
Wait a minute!
There is actually a character, is it a free starting character?
Fang You looked down and fell into deep thought.
How did this apostle...
It looks a little familiar.
Black jacket, grey trousers.
The zipper of the jacket was unzipped, revealing a white undershirt.
This outfit,
Fang You stood up silently, walked to the mirror and looked at himself in it.
As handsome as the reader.
That's not the point.
The point is,
Fang You stared at himself in the mirror expressionlessly, then lowered his head and stared at the character in the game.
There was a long silence.
"Isn't this me exactly me?"
