Nightmare Attack

"Captain Wu is in danger." There was such a line written on the notebook Lin Muwan held up. The slightly scrawled handwriting could tell the worry in the woman's heart.

Her eyes were filled with anticipation, but the people caught by this burst of light avoided her sight.

Lin Muwan subconsciously looked at his brother. Lin Muyun didn't know how to explain it to his sister. He just opened his mouth and finally let out a sigh.

In the end, Xia Qiang decided to be the villain, "Miss Lin." He looked at Lin Muwan and said in a dull tone: "This world is different from the world we live in. You can think of it as a large-scale real-life scene. In immersive games, here, except for us, everyone else is the character in the game, they are not real people, so”

Xia Qiang's words became more unnatural as he spoke. After staying in the mission world for a long time, his mentality gradually changed, and he even began to blur the boundaries between the two worlds.

A trace of disappointment appeared on Lin Muwan's face. She looked away and looked at Jiang Cheng, as if she was sure that this man with a temperament that looked a bit like her brother would not lie to her.

Jiang Cheng pursed his lips slightly, "Miss Lin, what Captain Xia said is wrong. Whether in the mission world or the real world, we should respect life and revere life. If we can, we will survive every situation that we should face." When people are in need, lend a helping hand.”

Hearing this, Lin Muwan's expression was a little moved. She opened her mouth, but before she made a sound, Jiang Cheng continued: "But this time the situation is slightly different, Miss Lin, we can't tell who Captain Wu is on the other end of the phone. Human or ghost, this is probably a trap.

"The purpose is to lead us to the reasoning hall and then catch us all in one fell swoop." Jiang Cheng glanced at Lin Muyun who was standing beside her, and added: "Miss Lin, you also saw the weird things in the reasoning hall during the day, and you don't want to Your brother will accompany us on our adventure."

The word "brother" touched the softness in Lin Muwan's heart.

Seeing Lin Muwan's slightly lowered eyes, Jiang Cheng knew that his words had worked, but strangely, he did not feel the pleasure of succeeding. On the contrary, he felt a sense of disappointment.

When he looked at Lin Muwan again, his eyes were not as calm and natural as before.

Feeling the concerned look from Lin Muyun, Lin Muwan nodded, then picked up the notebook and quickly wrote a line on it, "I'm sorry for causing trouble to everyone."

Jiang Cheng turned his head and avoided the words on the notebook.

The night was eerily quiet.

The phone in the office never rang again.

These things that happened one after another dispelled everyone's sleepiness. More importantly, everyone knew that it didn't matter whether they slept or not. Anyway, when the time was up, they would fall into forced sleep.

There will be an alarm sound as a reminder.

Everyone was sitting around the sofa. Xia Qiang thought for a moment and then said to Jiang Cheng: "Mr. Jiang, would you like to talk to me alone?"

The two of them avoided the crowd and came to the window. From this position, they could look out at the scenery outside. The neon lights were flashing and the traffic on the road was weaving. Everything was the same as in the real world.

Xia Qiang followed Jiang Cheng's line of sight and looked out the window. After a long time, he said: "If you stay in this world for a long time, you will always feel that you fit here more and more, instead of the real world. Maybe if you stay long enough, you really can't go back. Yes." There was a hint of sadness in his voice.

"Mr. Jiang." Xia Qiang withdrew his gaze and looked at Jiang Cheng's side face intently, "Do you think guys like us are more like people or more like that kind of thing?"

Xia Qiang also carried a door on his back, and Jiang Cheng smelled a familiar madness and throbbing from his body.

It's just that Xia Qiang concealed it very well. At least it seemed that he was still some time away from being completely eroded.

But Jiang Cheng understood that the fact that he could ask such a question meant that he did not have much time left, at least it was much shorter than it seemed.

"Whether we look like humans or ghosts depends on us." Jiang Cheng said, "You have experienced many missions, and you should understand that the people in some missions are more terrifying than ghosts."

Xia Qiang smiled and said, "What you said makes sense." After a pause, he looked at Jiang Cheng up and down with an appraising look, and then continued: "It seems that Mr. Gong Zhe's worries are a little too much."

"Gong Zhe?" Jiang Cheng was a little surprised. Lin Wan'er also spoke highly of this name. After Xia Tan was completely corrupted by the family, this man named Gong Zhe became the Xia family's anchor.

Jiang Cheng had met him several times, and each time it was not pleasant. He was a very difficult guy who put pressure on people just by standing there.

"Yes." Xia Qiang said very naturally: "Mr. Gong Zhe rarely shows interest in someone, but you are an exception."

"Then I'm quite honored." Jiang Cheng didn't like being judged, and he didn't really like Xia Qiang's attitude when talking to him.

Xia Qiang didn't take it seriously. He was a man who seemed to be quite forthright, and his feelings towards his team members were also very sincere.

In this regard, he is very similar to Captain Wu who called before.

"Mr. Gong Zhe said that you are a very special person." Xia Qiang continued: "And one day in the future, he will probably regret letting you go."

"You will grow into a very scary thing. Perhaps" Xia Qiang's face became serious, "even he will find it a troublesome existence."

Jiang Cheng looked at him and said, "Captain Xia, you asked me here not just to talk about these things. I don't see any connection between these things and the current predicament we are facing."

"Mr. Jiang, what do you think of the current situation?" Xia Qiang changed his tone and seemed not to be surprised at all.

"The situation has become complicated." Jiang Cheng said bluntly, "Our visit to the reasoning studio today should have triggered a new stage of the plot. As for whether it is good or bad, it is hard to say now."

"But judging from the clues, it will be a matter of time before we find the reasoning hall and Room 19." Xia Qiang said.

Jiang Cheng was noncommittal. He seemed to have thought of something, and his expression turned strange for a moment.

Xia Qiang caught Jiang Cheng's emotional changes and asked, "What did you think of?"

"The current clues are confusing. We need to go to Room 19 at least one more time." Jiang Cheng lowered his voice.

"That player's code." Xia Qiang said knowingly. Judging from the name, it was a very important clue. However, if you want to get the code, you have to face the attack of ghosts. They have not found the rules to avoid ghosts yet.

To Xia Qiang's surprise, Jiang Cheng thought for a moment and then shook his head, "That notebook is very important, but I feel that there is another thing that is more important than it."
