Chapter 3 Fatal Instance: Whisper of the Inner Devil

Chapter 3 Deadly Copy "Whisper of the Heart Devil"

Sister Lin's crying soon drifted away.

Everything in front of him returned to darkness, and his weightless body seemed to fall with the ticking of time.

"Beautiful, this is probably the first time that a little girl has knocked me down in my room...Except Yu Xuan."

In the state of all unknowns, Jiang Qian was fortunate to find that his mind could still think.

So, he skipped the fear and panic that should have appeared, and began to review the process of his being trapped here.

Maybe it started from the time he glimpsed the three words "invitation letter"?

No, to be precise, it was when his hand touched the card with the three words "invitation letter" printed on it that the incident happened.

He didn't even have time to think about the content of the invitation letter!

Received, that is, "accepted"? Is this the point where he was pulled into this darkness?

Jiang Qian's body was still falling slowly, and there was no sound around him.

This originally frightening incident, under his calm response, was a little absurd.

The reason he could show such psychological quality was due to his physiological defects in the brain, which made his related emotional reactions unable to be triggered.

Coincidentally, at this moment, a mechanical and dull prompt sounded in his ears:

[Name: Jiang Qian]

[Race: Human]

[Age: 20]

[Tip: Evolutionary path is being evaluated]

[Tip: When the trial copy is completed, the "identity card" and rewards will be issued according to the evaluation results]

Evolutionary path?

Identity card?

Copy...

If this setting appears in online novels, it is probably classified as an IQ cool article, right?

Jiang Qian listened attentively and carefully accepted the only source of information here.

Evolutionary path and identity card, most likely point to some kind of supernatural power.

And copy, a special term that usually appears in the field of games, undoubtedly represents a supernatural order.

Is this really an opportunity to touch extraordinary power?

While Jiang Qian felt a little excited, he realized another thing: risk, or cost.

The dull voice paused for a while.

Continue to prompt:

[Welcome to the "Super Species World", you will become a free evolution warrior of the super species group, ahead of the human race, and touch the God's gift of the new world. Before that, please pass the qualification test first. ]

[The trial is about to begin, and the trial copy is being randomly matched... You are matched with the copy AS1741 "Whisper of the Heart Devil"]

[Type: Single Customization]

[Difficulty Level: Nightmare]

[Betting Chips: Life*1]

[Main Quest: Arrive at the "Abyss Video Hall" and complete your exclusive viewing task (0/7)]

[Introduction: The inner forbidden place of mortals, sealed with something that can kill themselves. ]

[When the consciousness is asleep, it will quietly sneak into your dreams and make you mistakenly believe that those "evil thoughts" are your true wishes. You were startled and vigilantly stared at the unknown forbidden land. That thing was also staring at you...]

[Don't act rashly, don't quibble, don't indulge, don't believe]

[Note: Unfortunately, you have drawn the most difficult trial copy in history. Its high mortality rate is likely to make you give up completely before you start. No, don't do that. Remember: those who can't kill you will make you stronger.]

At the end of this prompt, the sound gradually became distant and near until it disappeared completely.

At the same time, the falling state finally stopped, and Jiang Qian's feet returned to the ground.

The surroundings remained dark.

He stood in the dark, waiting for his vision to recover, and quickly re-read the information received in his mind, and gradually had an idea of ​​the current situation.

Although it was absurd to think so, he seemed to have been pulled into some kind of mysterious space.

There are exclusive game rules and evaluation systems here.

The winner will get a special identity and corresponding rewards.

The embodiment of this special identity should be the "identity card" referred to in the prompt. Its essence is most likely some unknown force, and it can be enhanced through "evolution".

The loser will probably die - because the bet is "life".

"Is this what you call 'a little risk'?" Jiang Qian snorted coldly, with a cold light in his eyes.

I was so shameless to assume that humans were model organisms, but I was thrown into this place like a guinea pig to fight a life-and-death battle...

Seduced, backstabbed, and I was the one who was cheated, and you are still crying?

Why are you pretending to be an old drama in front of me.

"Little girl, don't worry... Wait until you get out and see how I comfort you."

Although it was not voluntary, Jiang Qian quickly accepted the reality: he was already in a gamble with his life as a chip, and he would die if he didn't move forward.

According to the prompt information of the copy, he was likely to be attacked by some non-secret force.

Those twelve words seemed to be a reminder to avoid risks: don't act rashly, don't quibble, don't immerse yourself, and don't believe.

But these alone are not enough.

I can only follow the clues.

"The main task is to find the 'Abyss Video Room' and then watch the movie as required. I am familiar with watching movies. It's just that the name of this video room is not very auspicious..."

"Does the 0/7 displayed at the back refer to the completion rate? Really good, 7 pitfalls."

Jiang Qian continued to chew on the hint given to him by this so-called copy.

The surroundings were pitch dark, and he began to get restless.

He suddenly heard a strange sound behind him, as if someone laughed, and then disappeared quickly.

Almost at the same time, running sounds came from another direction.

The running sound was sometimes fast and sometimes slow, running away for a while, but at first glance, it seemed to be gradually approaching...

Then, a strange, barely audible whisper sounded in his ear... It was as if someone was dancing cheek to cheek behind him, and the bad breath was almost sprayed on the back of his neck.

In this case, normal people should have lived in Bengbu long ago.

The quiet ones would fall to the ground with weak legs, and the lively ones would pee their pants while running!

In comparison, Jiang Qian's experience seemed too poor.

It can be said that he was fearless.

In the darkness, his eyes followed the sound, carefully distinguishing the direction and distance of each sound, and directly choked the opponent!

But he missed.

Jiang Qian remained alert and did not pursue the victory. He was not sure whether those floating around him and waiting for an opportunity to make trouble were real or illusory.

The more chaotic the moment, the more calm you need to be. Any unnecessary behavior may be a trap for the opponent.

Suddenly, a cool breeze blew in his face, causing the broken hair on Jiang Qian's forehead to fly back to his head.

Is this a windward vent?

In other words, if he is inside a semi-enclosed space and his vision is blocked, then if he moves towards the windward vent, he should have a chance to find an exit.

His mission is to reach the "Abyss Video Hall". In the absence of more clear prompts, restoring vision and actively searching has become his first option.

At least it's worth a try.

Jiang Qian slowly moved forward with his feet to test, and the "whispering" behind him suddenly became agitated again.

They have been urging me to move forward, but I am afraid that this is not to help me... Jiang Qian slowed down, lowered his body, and lowered his center of gravity, carefully guarding against sneak attacks in the dark.

Then, his feet touched something.

The thing did not seem to be alive, but it retreated as soon as it was touched, and then he heard a slight falling sound under his feet.

"Hey?"

Could this be the inner edge of a building without guardrails?

Jiang Qian stopped his forward foot. At the same time, his palm also touched a broken wall on the side of him.

The cross-section of the broken wall was uneven, and it looked like the remains of a wall that had not been repaired.

It's confirmed! The decoration company's fault.

No wonder there are some unclean things here.

Another gust of wind came in...

Jiang Qian grabbed the broken wall and stabilized his body.

His vision gradually adapted to the darkness, and under the effect of the weak external light source, the outline of things in front of him was becoming clear...

At this time, something horrifying happened.

The silent space suddenly became a little crowded.

A voice like a bereaved mother suddenly sounded: "Ah, what a pity, he is still alive..."

Another uneasy voice followed closely: "Shut up, you bastard! He is about to be fooled!"

"No, you are wasting our time." This was a gnashing voice.

Then, the irritable voice roared angrily: "Waste! All fucking waste! Let him come, I will hammer him to death in a minute, press him to the ground and rub him!"

Perhaps stimulated by a sensitive word, a lustful voice trembled and shouted: "Come, come in... I can't wait! He is mine, um, mine~"

The chaotic voices chattered in the darkness.

Jiang Qian was speechless for a while.

Are these... the dungeon BOSS? It doesn't sound very smart.

If I remember correctly, this is a dungeon with a so-called "nightmare" difficulty level, right?

...That's it?

However, despite his complaints, Jiang Qian did not take it lightly.

He had reason to believe that the more dangerous something is, the more absurd it will appear.

At this moment, the bosses quickly reached a consensus.

Then the whole world suddenly became quiet.

Then, multiple lights lit up in unison, and the sound of falling objects was covered up.

The surrounding environment was finally fully presented in front of Jiang Qian.

Jiang Qian's pupils shrank imperceptibly.

This is an abandoned old-fashioned commercial building.

He was standing in a corridor that was being renovated. At the other end of the corridor, he pointed to a nostalgic video hall that was in operation.

The shabby signboard, with a dark red luster inside, was called "Abyss".

Abyss Video Hall.

It is worth noting that looking back at where Jiang Qian was standing, the ground around him was filled with messy and sharp steel bars, broken glass, and sharp-edged floor tiles... as well as a "person" pierced by the steel bars.

These "people" ended their lives here in extremely distorted forms, and were weathered here in an indescribable form, forming a group of hideous faces.

Among them, there are office workers, students, well-dressed upper-class people, and ugly scavengers...

"Are they other trial participants?"

Judging from what Jiang Qian heard and felt in the dark just now, these people are likely to have been frightened and run in panic, accidentally fell, or hit sharp objects and died.

What's more exaggerated is that two steps away from Jiang Qian is the edge of this old building... an open window without a window frame.

It can be imagined that if he had been a little careless and bravely taken a step forward, or was frightened by the whispers behind him and ran forward, how clean and neat he would have walked.

The night wind poured in from outside, chilling.

Jiang Qian remembered the prompt information of the copy, one of which was called "Don't move rashly."

Now it seems that it corresponds to the situation at the beginning.

"Although there are not many prompts in the copy, they are very critical. I am afraid that many losers are trapped here because of 'reckless actions'."

It is undeniable that when people are dominated by fear and extremely nervous, they often find it difficult to control their behavior, resulting in many mindless operations and losing their lives.

Fear is the killer of thinking and the bud of the inner demon.

Fortunately, he is already quite unfamiliar with this feeling.

Even if he is standing in a mountain of corpses, he will not feel the slightest bit of restraint.

"Even if you are not as insensitive to fear as me, as long as you remain calm and cautious enough, you have a great chance of surviving in the darkness just now."

Jiang Qian bypassed the strange mummies that covered the road, and collected a half of the steel bar from the loose cracks in the ground, holding it in his hand, and walked calmly towards the old-fashioned "video room".

"Let's go and watch a movie."
