"Father?"
Qin Nuo was stunned.
A year ago, his parents disappeared mysteriously. In the following year, he assisted the police in investigating their disappearance, but to no avail.
During this period, because of the horror game, his mind was temporarily withdrawn from his parents, but he did not expect that at this moment in the horror world, he would suddenly receive a call from a stranger who claimed to be his father.
Qin Nuo was not surprised, but frowned and asked suspiciously: "What proof do you have?"
The incident happened so suddenly that Qin Nuo couldn't react and naturally wouldn't believe it.
The other party seemed to understand that it was too sudden, and slowly talked about some things in Qin Nuo's childhood.
"My name is Qin Feng, your mother's name is Shangguan Yan. You were born in 2003, and then..."
The other person spoke calmly, neither anxious nor impatient. Whenever he talked about an unforgettable thing in his childhood, a vague memory in Qin Nuo's mind became clear, consistent with what he said on the phone, and extremely familiar.
"Son, when you were a kid, you were naughty and accidentally knocked over a pot of porridge. Mom blocked it for you in time. The scar from the burn on your arm remains until now. Do you still remember it?" Suddenly, a middle-aged woman's voice came from the other end of the phone.
Qin Nuo recalled this incident. His mother was hospitalized because of severe burns. After she was discharged from the hospital, the scar remained there forever. He cried for several days out of guilt.
The scene where the father pulled out the Seven Wolves and scolded him harshly, and the mother protected Qin Nuo and comforted him softly, was still vivid in his mind, as if it happened just yesterday.
It’s really them!
Qin Nuo's breathing suddenly became rapid, and his five fingers clenched uncontrollably.
Yuan Shan looked at this scene and tilted his head in confusion.
The parents who had disappeared for more than a year suddenly appeared. Qin Nuo was surprised, but his face was also confused.
The only explanation for the call being connected is that the parents are also in the horror world.
"Child, we miss you so much. These days, every time I close my eyes, I dream of you. I'm afraid I'll forget what you look like, but it's so wonderful to still be able to hear your voice..."
"Are you taking good care of yourself? Are you eating well and sleeping well? Are you healthy?" My mother seemed to be nagging like before.
But the indescribable longing and concern can be felt even through the phone.
Qin Nuo's nose felt a little sore.
"It's fine. I'm an adult and can take care of myself."
"Where are you now? How can I find you?" Qin Nuo asked.
"Also, why did you suddenly disappear without a word?"
On the other end of the line, I heard my father sigh and say, "Back then, your mother and I were on our way home when a dump truck turned a corner and overturned, crushing our car. When we woke up, we found ourselves forced into a horror game."
"Your mother and I both have experience with horror games. We know that after completing the dungeon, we can return to the real world, but..."
"This dungeon is far from as simple as we thought. It's a reincarnation dungeon. Your mother and I violated a taboo and were imprisoned here forever."
"Reincarnation copy?" Qin Nuo frowned.
"Is there a specific location?" If there was an exact location, Qin Nuo might be able to get there.
"No, here we don't even know how much time has passed."
"We wanted to use stones to carve on the wall to record the game time, but the time reset every day and the carving traces disappeared."
Qin Nuo asked: "Then how did you get through on this call?"
"We previously triggered a dungeon mission. As a reward for completing it, we only have three chances to make a phone call."
"The phone can't connect to the real world, so we can only wait until the day you enter the dungeon."
"The first two times, we failed."
"But this time, we succeeded." His father's voice was very steady. In Qin Nuo's impression, his father was a serious person who could only express invisible love and care, and would not write it on his face in a rigid manner.
This time, it was no different. The voice did not reveal any joy, but Qin Nuo could feel a slight tremor in it.
"How can I find you?" Qin Nuo asked the key question directly.
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a moment before he replied.
"The copy will guide you and give you the answer."
"Son, don't stop. Keep completing the dungeon. You will find us. This is the only way."
"Will the copy give the answer?"
Qin Nuo was confused by his father's answer.
He wanted to ask for more information, but his mother suddenly said, "Son, we have limited time and cannot tell you too much."
"You must find us, and you must take good care of yourself."
Qin Nuo put away the thought of asking further questions and said solemnly: "Mom and Dad, don't worry, I will do everything I can to find you and rescue you."
"My sister and I are fine, don't worry. No matter what, keep yourself safe first!"
There was sudden silence on the other end of the phone, making Qin Nuo think that he had accidentally touched the hang-up button.
After a moment, my father suddenly said, "Your sister?"
"Well, my sister is doing well too. After you disappeared last year, she was admitted to a key university." Qin Nuo said.
My father's voice sounded a little heavier.
"You don't have a sister."
"You are our only son."
Qin Nuo's expression froze for a moment.
"What did you say?"
The mother quickly said, "Child, are you okay? You have always been our only child. How can you have a sister?"
