【This is my story, the story that happened when I was still human.】
call.
It was pitch black before his eyes, and Yun Fan could only feel a stream of heat blowing into his cochlea.
Snapped.
Yun Fan suddenly felt horrified, and he raised his hand and waved it in the direction of the sound.
However...
Yunfan rushed to nothing.
[I am the fraudster Ain, and everything starts from that day.]
The next moment, the voice suddenly appeared on the other side of Yunfan.
And the voice that was originally very calm became extremely shrill.
At this time, the light reappeared in Yunfan's field of vision.
【The game officially begins!】
[Current mission goal: Find clues in this room to understand the situation of the fraudster Ain. 】
[Your current identity is: Fraudster Ain.]
At the same time as he heard the cold mechanical beep of the system, a dazzling ray of sunlight was projected on Yun Fan's face.
"cut."
Putting his arms across his face to cover his eyes, Yunfan began to look at his surroundings.
A shiny black quilt, patched sheets, an old-fashioned clothes hanger hanging a brown windbreaker, a rotten wooden table covered with child-like graffiti...
In my nose, I can also smell a faint musty smell in the air.
This hut reflects the owner's poverty situation from the inside out.
Crunch.
Yunfan stood up from the bed and opened the dusty window in front of him.
The dilapidated window seemed to be overwhelmed, making a harsh sound like fingernails scraping against a blackboard.
"Ahem."
The airflow outside the room blew the dust on the window onto Yunfan's face, which made him raise his hands to fan in great discomfort.
The cool air penetrated his nostrils, and Yunfan suddenly felt that his somewhat heavy brain had regained its ability to think.
"ha."
Breathing heavily, Yunfan put on a pair of black leather boots at the end of the bed and began his search.
Pushing the pillow aside roughly, Yunfan saw an exquisite pocket watch appear in his field of vision.
Snapped!
Use your thumbs to pop open the cover.
"This is."
On the inside of the watch cover, a yellowed photo caught Yunfan's eyes.
In the photo, a woman with a delicate face is smiling sweetly at herself.
【
Name: Emily
Identity: Ain’s wife
Introduction: "Ain, why do you make a living by stealing? May the Lord forgive you, my love." Emily once said this.
】
A string of blood-red fonts appeared in front of Yun Fan's eyes, emitting a faint red light.
Putting the pocket watch into his trouser pocket, Yunfan bent down and put his head under the dark bed...
Two minutes later.
"really."
With a smile on his lips, Yun Fan slowly moved his upper body out.
In his hand, he was holding a crumpled piece of paper.
Obviously, this piece of paper is a clue to the current mystery.
Walking to the window, under the golden sunlight, Yunfan carefully unfolded the paper ball completely.
【
My love, Ain:
Why! Why should I suffer such torture!
You, a lowly thief, can freely bask in the sunshine given by the Lord, but I can only hide in a small dark room, keeping company with cockroaches.
Ain, I'm in so much pain, help me!
Hurry! Go steal, steal some more, and let the doctor cure me quickly!
Who can save me? Should I pray to the devil.
A patient who lives in the same room with me said that she found a way to escape...
...
your,
Emily
】
The second half of the letter seemed to be shrouded in a strange fog. No matter how Yunfan tried to identify it, the next moment he would forget the words in his mind.
"Then, we can only make inferences based on existing clues."
Yunfan crossed his arms across his chest, groping his stubble-covered chin with one hand, and fell into deep thought.
First of all, what made Emily change from a person who prayed to the Lord for forgiveness of Ain’s sins to a person who allowed him to steal more?
The answer was very clear. Yunfan immediately connected with a key word - disease!
It is inferred from the letter that Emily must have contracted a strange disease.
And people who suffer from this strange disease have a high probability of not being able to touch a ray of sunlight.
After figuring this out, Yunfan continued to extrapolate.
"Devil, the way to escape."
Yun Fan smoothed the paper ball again, frowned, and stared at these two words.
"Could this be related to the text behind it?"
Turning his gaze to the series of unclear handwriting again, Yunfan suddenly felt that an unknown and evil aura suddenly came out.
And just a second before that ball of breath touched Yun Fan's palm, he moved.
Whoosh!
Yunfan's body reacted instinctively. His left hand quickly made a gesture of flicking marbles, and his nails hit the surface of the paper ball hard.
As if receiving Yunfan's wish for it to stay away, the paper ball flew very quickly into a sewer and disappeared.
"Fortunately, I developed superb marble-playing skills when I was young."
Yun Fan looked at his nails with a look of relief. Just now, they had done a great job.
"call."
The tip of his tongue touched the beads of sweat falling on his lips, and a salty dew feeling fed back to Yunfan's brain.
Cold sweat had already soaked through his thin shirt.
[The talent Sixth Sense has taken effect, there is currently an executioner not far from you, be careful!]
Recalling the prompt sound from the system just now, Yun Fan felt that his whole body became extremely excited.
If my movements had been slower for a few seconds, would an executioner have emerged from the paper ball?
Yunfan tortured his heart. He was very familiar with the ominous aura just now, and it was even engraved in his bones!
That feeling was clearly the coercion exuded by the trap killer!
This comes from the experienced judgment of a peak slayer. In many games, he has long memorized the auras of the major executioners.
[Recalling the scene that just happened, I felt the fear from the depths of my soul. 】
Ain's voice rang in Yunfan's ears, but this time, his voice revealed incomparable fear.
[I don’t know what happened, why does Emily’s letter contain the aura of the devil? 】
[Yes, although I don’t know what it is? But I dare to conclude that it is the devil! 】
Following these two words, Yunfan suddenly staggered and fell onto the bed.
"interesting."
Feeling a numb feeling coming from his knees, Yunfan looked at his swaying legs with a ferocious smile on his face.
The same was true just now. If it were him, he wouldn't be afraid of the trap killer's evil aura at all.
However, for some reason, his body broke out in a large amount of cold sweat uncontrollably.
But now, being frightened and shivering was not his inner feeling. Yunfan guessed that this was how the original owner of this body, Ain, felt at that time.
【I am very scared, but I am even more afraid of Emily leaving.】
[Forcibly dragging my numb body, I put on a windbreaker and will start my career as a thief today. 】
Yunfan suddenly felt that his body was out of his control. Although he was still in the first-person perspective, his body was taken over by another force.
With a straight face, he put on his brown windbreaker, and control of his body returned to Yunfan's hands again.
[The mission objective has changed. The current mission objective is: go to the Jigger Bar and steal enough money. ]
Snapped.
The fire light was on, and Yun Fan held a lit cigarette in his mouth, but his eyes were fixed on a cane at the bottom of the clothes hanger.
