Chapter 3 Saint Lan Monastery 03
"Your consciousness is completely gone, your mind returns."
"Simulation complete! Current Weirdness value: 5 points; Survival time: 10 minutes."
In the three consecutive simulations, Wen Qi only lived for a maximum of ten minutes, as if she were under her brother's curse.
She was certain she hadn't fainted from fright. Luckily, she was in the four-dimensional world, where her brother couldn't see or know anything, otherwise he would have started making things up again.
Wen Qi took a deep breath, still shaken. Hearing those frightening sounds, could she have been corrupted?
Based on the experience of watching the supernatural dungeon in the live stream, such symptoms would only appear if one is corrupted, right?
I don't know what caused me to be contaminated.
The nun in the red mask was definitely not to be trusted. The box she was carrying was suspicious; it likely contained things like intestines, scalp, and heart, and it was still dripping blood. She also wasn't wearing a cross on her chest.
Although the third simulation only lasted ten minutes, it was very rewarding, proving that Rule 5, which states that one should not trust the red mask, is correct.
There are currently 5 points of weirdness remaining, enough for one more simulation.
...
Wen Qi lay back on the bed and closed her eyes.
"Simulation begins, mind astral projection."
"You rushed to the bathroom, put away the nunchaku, then mopped the floor, and then collected the letter."
"A moment later, the doctor came in."
"You realized you hadn't memorized the cleaning department's phone number, so you asked again vaguely and successfully got the number."
"Even when you put on your nun's habit, the doctor still forgot to give you your medication."
"After the doctor left, you quietly went to the corridor. The corridor lights were flickering, and the nun wearing a red mask walked towards you."
"She was still holding a small, sharp knife, carrying a blood-stained box, and looking at you with a cold smile."
The nun in the red mask whispered, "Someone next door has gone mad. Come with me to subdue her."
You ignored her and went to pick up the landline phone on the wall a short distance away.
"Then you called the cleaning department and said you saw something indescribable in your room's trash can and asked them to clean it up as soon as possible."
"After you finish the call, you notice a piece of paper on the wall with the phone numbers for the waiters and cleaning staff."
"The nun in the red mask left when you ignored her. You went to the bathroom to wash your face and only then did you realize how disheveled you looked in the mirror."
"Then the cleaners came and emptied the trash cans."
"Before leaving, you took a nunchaku and forced the cleaning lady to take off her yellow trousers and coat."
"The cleaner stared in horror as you put the clothes she had taken off back on."
She left your room with a look that said she was about to die.
"Then you quickly took a shower, put on a cleaner's uniform over your nun's habit, and of course, the system automatically blurred out the parts that needed to be blurred."
"You've even tied up your long, straight black hair; you finally look presentable."
Around eight o'clock, you went to the next room and asked the monk about the monastery.
"You find him acting silly, just walking down the stairs without a thought. You follow him and discover he's going to the restaurant."
"You should follow that monk's example; whatever he orders, you should do."
"Generally speaking, monasteries are very poor, and living expenses are covered by donations from the parishioners."
"But the breakfast here is very plentiful. When you arrive at the food serving area, the purple-masked lady in charge of serving the porridge tosses the spoon several times and only gives you a small half bowl of porridge and half a piece of toast."
You take the bowl with a puzzled look, only to see something that looks like a human brain in the porridge. You look closely at the bread in your hand and it looks like a fingernail.
You looked at the lady serving food and asked in a low voice, "Auntie, could you change my order to those other dishes?" You pointed to the cakes and desserts behind her that looked normal.
"Get out! Take it or leave it, I'm not changing it!" she snapped, turning around and grabbing a kitchen knife hanging on the wall, slashing at him.
"You dodged in time, snatched the cleaver from your hand, and threw it at me. In your short temper, you cursed under your breath, 'Screw you! If you don't want to trade, then don't trade! Why are you trying to cut me?'"
"She dodged in time, but you pulled out a nunchaku and swung it hard at her head several times, smashing her skull open."
"Then your consciousness breaks down, and your mind returns."
"Simulation complete! Current weirdness value: 0 points. Survival time: one hour."
Wen Qi suddenly opened her eyes, thinking about the simulation she had just experienced, and what would happen if she died in reality.
The body was dragged into the restaurant kitchen and thrown onto a cutting board, and then the sound of chopping meat rose and fell.
Wen Qi couldn't help but shiver as she thought about it.
Was that woman doing it on purpose? It was like she was deliberately provoking me to start cursing.
There may be new rules here, since previous instances where the Chosen Ones went to had multiple rules to follow.
Otherwise, it's impossible that the aunt would have drawn her knife as soon as he opened his mouth.
With this in mind, Wen Qi decided to focus on the real-world process first, to obtain genuine clues.
Then get a good night's sleep.
Just then, the doctor arrived.
Wen Qi immediately rushed to the bathroom to get a mop. The floor's quirk of being constantly wet was really troublesome, since it would dry in the wind.
...
Real world
Dragon Kingdom, Shanghai Loongson Core Base.
With the confirmation of the new Chosen Ones, the Dragon Kingdom's Supreme Advisory Council declared a state of emergency and immediately began investigating Wen Qi's background information.
Aside from concerns about Wen Qi's young age and lack of physical strength.
The analysts also need to analyze the live stream content of all the chosen ones in more than two hundred countries across the entire planet.
The goal is to uncover the hidden rules and traps, provide Wen Qi with two minutes of off-field assistance, and improve her survival rate.
The viewers in the live stream had no idea that Wen Qi had already died several times through the simulator and her mental manipulation.
After all, in reality, Wen Qi's live stream had only just begun, and what the audience saw was Wen Qi opening her eyes and sitting up in bed.
She then seemed to fall into deep thought, and muttered curses to herself a few times.
"Has this person gone mad knowing they can't beat the game?"
"As expected, she's a beggar who knows nothing."
"Upstairs, I feel like we've picked a mentally ill person."
"China is doomed, you should immigrate now, the United States welcomes you!"
"Processing in progress"
"Processing +1"
"At times like this, those who want to leave should leave quickly, it's not worth it."
If it were someone else, people could say that the chosen one's thoughtful expression was because he was thinking of a solution.
But with her hair disheveled and clothes filthy, Wen Qi really looked just like a mentally ill person reduced to beggar.
"Haha, Yamada-kun is very clean. The first thing he does when he gets up is look for things everywhere, and he immediately notices that something is wrong with the oil painting."
"This is such good physical strength. We should have faith in our compatriots."
"OMG, you don't think that having good physical strength proves that she can live a long time, do you?"
"A bunch of guys who look clean on the outside but are dirty on the inside. Your island nation might end up living in the Pacific Ocean next time."
"There's a mentally ill person among the chosen ones in the Dragon Kingdom. I reckon even an old lady in the Mal Kingdom is better than her."
In the comments section, most people expressed disbelief in Wen Qi's abilities, believing that the Dragon Kingdom was doomed this time.
Just then, the Dragon Kingdom's advisory team analysts posted Wen Qi's publicly available personal information in the live broadcast room to stabilize the emotions of the Dragon Kingdom's people.
