Later, she discovered that although she was in the game world, she could see many things in the outside world. For example, when she killed an opponent named Luo Feng, a person named Luo Feng in a vegetative state in the real world would die.

Soon, she also saw that she herself in the real world had become a vegetable.

So, becoming a vegetable is actually the soul being pulled into this world. And when someone is killed, both the soul and the physical body of the vegetable perish; simply put, they die.

In other words, killing someone in a game is equivalent to killing someone in the real world.

When Liu Nian discovered the truth, she didn't want to continue the game, but the system showed that she hadn't reached the maximum level and couldn't quit. Only when the game reached the maximum level would her soul exit. And to reach the maximum level, she would have to kill countless people like Luo Feng.

After Liu Nian learned that the people she killed in the game were actually real people, she dared not kill anymore. However, her refrain from killing did not mean that others would not. Moreover, the killers in this game world basically knew the truth, but in order to survive, they had no choice but to keep killing.

What frustrated Liu Nian even more was that she discovered her parents, due to financial problems, didn't want to continue her treatment after paying for a few days of her medical expenses.

The system prompted her that if she was willing to sign a fifty-year contract with the game company, the company could pay her medical expenses and take over her vegetative state. If she did not accept this condition, then she would die.

Liu Nian knew in his heart that since this game company created this kind of game, it was definitely not a legitimate company; once he signed a contract with them, he would definitely not get anything good.

But she didn't want to die like that; she hoped that one day she could return to her body and start her life anew.

Forced into a corner, she signed the contract.

After signing the contract, she was not only hunted down by other game participants, but also targeted by many monsters and evil spirits, living a life of constant terror on the run.

One day, she met Mao Yongheng. Mao Yongheng was accompanied by a beautiful girl named Zhang Xiaotong, who was said to be a wealthy heiress. The so-called relatives who took over Mao Yongheng's body were Zhang Xiaotong's relatives.

Zhang Xiaotong's wealth and influence, coupled with his impressive performance in the game, allowed him to advance several levels, forcing Mao Yongheng to rely on her both in the game and in real life.

Because Liu Nian only leveled up once before becoming a contract player, she was hunted down by various powerful opponents, and no one was willing to team up with her, so she never knew the benefits of teaming up.

Teaming up, especially with couples like Mao Yongheng and Zhang Xiaotong who are already married, means their fates are intertwined, resulting in double the points for kills; moreover, their cooperation makes it much easier to succeed than for one person alone. Therefore, this couple leveled up very quickly.

Although Liu Nian was being hunted down by various powerful figures, that was only in her eyes; in the eyes of Mao Yongheng and Zhang Xiaotong, who had already reached level 65, those who were hunting her down were all newbies.

However, neither of them considered rescuing her. First, they had their own targets to kill; second, the game rules stipulated that only teammates or spouses could rescue her, otherwise they would be demoted.

Although a few months is not a long time, Mao Yongheng has already killed countless people here. Moreover, he has married Zhang Xiaotong and has long since lost all feelings for Liu Nian.

But Liu Nian couldn't understand. Mao Yongheng's nickname was "My Heart Will Go On." So, it was Mao Yongheng who dragged her into this murder game. Even if he no longer had feelings for her, there was no need for him to harm her like this!

After all, I had spent all my money to pay his huge medical bills in order to save his life.

Liu Nian grabbed Mao Yongheng and questioned him about the matter.

Mao Yongheng said, "These are the conditions under which Xiaotong agreed to marry me."

Liu Nian exclaimed in shock, "What?"

Mao Yongheng said, "Only if this is the case will she be willing to marry me." After saying that, he shook off Liu Nian, who was still stunned, and chased after Zhang Xiaotong.

Someone like Liu Nian, who doesn't want to survive by killing, can't possibly survive for long in this game world.

She was killed in less than two weeks of arduous escape. Although she died in the game, her soul was drawn into an exceptionally luxurious villa by a force and swallowed by an elegantly dressed old lady.

After the old woman swallowed her soul, her aged skin quickly regained its youth.

The real cause of death for the vegetative state patient was that she had devoured their souls. However, directly devouring these souls would allow the Black and White Impermanence to track the souls back to the old woman. To avoid this trouble, the old woman commissioned game geniuses to create this game.

Because the game is only invited via mobile phone and is not actually downloaded to the phone, the sudden increase in vegetative state patients has attracted the attention of the police, and this has been going on for quite some time, but the police have no clue whatsoever—there is not even any trace of the game left on those phones.

Games are all set in a virtual alternate dimension, where events are isolated from the real world. As a result, the ghost officials in the underworld who are in charge of managing ghosts also find nothing.

Furthermore, this game uses a player-to-player system where the sin of a soul leaving the body is attributed to the player who recruited the other player; the sin of a soul being destroyed is attributed to the player who killed the other player. Therefore, even if these players manage to get out alive, they won't live long, and they'll likely end up in hell.

However, the old lady wouldn't let these players return to their own bodies alive. How could she maintain her youth if they all went back? Those players who reached the maximum level of 99 already had incredibly powerful souls, making them excellent tonics for her.

However, these players have reached level 99 and have countless lives on their hands. Even if the old lady devours them, it can only be considered as acting on behalf of heaven, and it will not have any impact on her.

The idea of ​​devouring souls to enhance oneself unconsciously reminded Chu Nian of a certain ghost immortal she had encountered in the past.

However, the original owner clearly remembered that he was swallowed by an old woman. Moreover, if that ghost immortal wanted to swallow someone, he would have swallowed them directly instead of going through so many tricks to absolve himself of his sins—daring to do something but not daring to admit it was not his style.

So it probably isn't him.

After sorting through the original owner's memories, Chu Nian felt a headache coming on with her situation: the original owner's wish was to escape without killing anyone, start a new life, and kill the old woman who had devoured her soul. If she had to kill someone in the game, then she could only kill Mao Yongheng and Zhang Xiaotong.

Seriously, is her wish just wishful thinking?
