"Ding! Congratulations, tenant, you have entered the cozy apartment. Mission: Survive for five days."
Fang Yuan was dumbfounded when he heard that unfamiliar mechanical voice in his mind.
"System, system, are you still there? Someone's trying to steal your job..."
Without hesitation, she called out to the system in her mind.
After all, she was terrified when a mechanical voice suddenly appeared in her head, fearing that her original system would be sidelined or absorbed.
[Don't worry, host. This world is just a low-level system, not even on the same level as me. It can't even detect my existence!]
Fang Yuan breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing the familiar voice of his system.
"What's going on? How come there's a system in my mind?"
[System suggestion: Host, you can accept the memories first!]
The situation in this world is quite complex and cannot be explained in just a few words.
Fang Yuan looked around and found himself standing in the dim light at the entrance of an old apartment building, with several other people around him.
She thought for a moment, then turned and walked to a corner of the yard, squatted down, and pretended to be uncomfortable.
"accept!"
[Please check your message, host!]
About five minutes later, she stood up again.
Looking at the dilapidated apartment in front of her, had she been directly drawn into a bizarre incident the moment she transmigrated?
A year ago, various supernatural events began to occur in this world. Unlucky people or those who were about to die would be pulled into these eerie places to complete some kind of system mission.
However, most people who enter these places end up dying.
Only a very few lucky ones survive, and then have the chance to exchange some strange rewards with that system.
In my memory, these rewards seemed rather sinister, as if they were turning living people into the dead.
Moreover, once all those who were pulled into the strange event die, the location of this strange event will manifest in this world.
If no one is completely wiped out, this place will not materialize for the time being, but people will continue to be pulled in batches until someone is completely wiped out, at which point it will materialize.
Clearly, this is a highly contagious bug rule, because if this continues, sooner or later the whole world will become a bizarre world.
"System, is this an invasion from another world?"
Fang Yuan continued to question the system while surveying the surroundings.
[Pretty much, it's the rules of another supernatural world invading this one.]
Fang Yuan: "Can this thing be stopped? How am I supposed to die a natural death in a world like this?"
She still has the goal of dying of old age. If the whole world becomes bizarre, how can she continue playing?
By the time the original female lead, Yang Ruoruo, died, these strange strongholds had already occupied most of the world.
[Host, rest assured, your abilities surpass the rules of this strange world.]
Her affinity for plants, animals, and purification abilities all transcend the rules of these small worlds.
"Is that so? So my purifying energy can dispel this stuff just like it did in my past life when I was a star?" Fang Yuan asked.
【Yes! 】
"That's good!" Fang Yuan nodded thoughtfully.
With the system's affirmation, she relaxed a bit and was able to take a closer look at her surroundings.
The apartment was surrounded by a dilapidated wall, and the entrance was a rusty old iron gate.
She wasn't alone here; there were three women and four men with her, a total of eight people.
One couple came here and immediately hugged each other.
However, after the two discovered Fang Yuan, the man pushed the woman next to him away and looked at Fang Yuan with a guilty and evasive gaze.
Fang Yuan pretended not to see it, but inwardly he was sneering.
These two adulterers were none other than her half-sister Yang Ruoruo and her fiancé Zhou Cheng.
It disgusted her that Zhou Cheng, her fiancé, was having an affair with her stepsister.
Seeing that Fang Yuan was looking elsewhere, the two assumed that Fang Yuan hadn't seen what they were doing, so they split up and pretended to follow him around to investigate.
Soon the others also realized something was wrong; they had been inexplicably taken to an unfamiliar place.
"What happened? Wasn't I on the street? How did I end up in this godforsaken place?"
A man in work clothes stared in shock at the decades-old house in front of him.
He was clearly on his way, so how did they suddenly bring him to this godforsaken place?
He had always thought he was dreaming, but he never imagined it was all real.
"Yeah, I was on my way home, how did I suddenly end up here?"
Another young woman wearing glasses chimed in.
She's been having some bad luck lately. Her bicycle tire got punctured for no reason while she was at school, so she had to walk home instead of riding it.
She never expected to suddenly find herself here while walking; this place didn't seem to be familiar to her at all.
If she weren't free to move, she would have suspected that she had been kidnapped.
The other two tall men remained standing to the side without moving.
However, after listening to what the two people said, they both frowned.
The slightly burly man looked at the man beside him and whispered, "Mr. Xiao, we're probably involved in some strange incident."
He is a retired special forces soldier, and now serves as Mr. Xiao's bodyguard and driver.
He had heard rumors about the strange events that had started a year ago, but he had never encountered them before. He never expected to run into one this time.
The man addressed as President Xiao nodded: "I'm afraid so!"
He only remembered that his car was on its way home; he couldn't recall anything else.
After confirming the situation, neither of them spoke again, but continued to observe the other people and the strange apartment building, hoping to find some useful clues.
This was their first time participating in such a bizarre event, so they were unaware of these things.
Fang Yuan knew this was a strange place, so she didn't look anywhere else but stared at the apartment building in front of her.
It has five floors, with four rooms on each floor, and two rooms on each side of the central passageway.
She patted herself down and found a key. After thinking for a moment, she decided to go into the apartment first to "recognize" her newfound power.
Just as Fang Yuan was about to enter the house, the man who had spoken first turned around and tried to leave:
"No matter what, I think we should leave here first!"
After he finished speaking, he turned around and walked towards the large iron gate behind him, intending to open the gate and go out.
However, this iron gate, which looked like it would break at the slightest push, simply couldn't be opened.
"Why can't we get out? What's going on?" the man asked unwillingly.
Another woman, trembling, pointed outside and said, "Haven't you noticed? Even though it's nighttime, you can't see anything outside."
Only then did everyone realize that outside the iron gate was a thick, dark fog.
"Have we been dragged into a paranormal event?"
Finally, the man revealed the truth he didn't want to mention.
The large iron gate separated them from the outside world, and the apartment in front of them didn't look like something from their era.
Everyone understood that they had entered a paranormal situation.
Seeing that she was truly involved in a supernatural event, Yang Ruoruo feigned surprise and called out to Fang Yuan, who was about to go upstairs:
"Sister, is that you? That's wonderful! I didn't expect to see you here. With you here, I'm not afraid anymore."
She looked at Fang Yuan with feigned innocence, even pretending to admire him.
Hearing these shameless words, Fang Yuan withdrew his foot from the stairs, turned around, and sneered at her:
"Are you sure you didn't see me just now? You don't recognize the guy you were hugging just now?"
Keep pretending. I want to see how you'll keep up the act in front of so many people.
Yang Ruoruo looked at Fang Yuan innocently: "I was so scared just now that I hugged Brother Zhou Cheng. We met by chance. He is my sister's fiancé, I know that."
Zhou Cheng was satisfied with Yang Ruoruo's explanation, and then walked over with a smile:
"Yuanyuan, I didn't expect you to get involved here too. It's very dangerous here. Come with me later, and I'll protect you."
He thought that if he performed well this time, Fang Yuan might agree to marry him when they got back.
