Players are coming, fortunately I have a time travel simulator

"The second episode of the series 'Apocalypse'?"

Zhou Ning practiced the ripple breathing method for several times before he calmed down. He couldn't help but feel a little confused. In his memory, the second episode of the "Apocalypse" series in his previous life seemed to be released a few days later because the protagonist Leandro de Pesa had not yet started school.

The reason why Apocalypse Intelligence produced the TV series "Apocalypse" is not only to promote the game, but also to educate players about the important forces and important figures in the early and middle stages.

The second episode of Past Life focuses on the Plane Child Leandro de Pesa and the Life Alchemy Society, while the third episode focuses on the official Sun Guardians.

Now the second episode of the series is being broadcast several days in advance. Could it be that a butterfly effect has occurred because of him?

Zhou Ning clicked on the game panel and entered the forum. Due to the increased publicity, the number of posts on the forum had exploded. What surprised him most was that, due to his prominent role in the first trailer, Zhou Ning had discovered that the game forum had its own section with the same name, even managed by a dedicated moderator.

Because the forum is managed by the game officials and has nothing to do with Zhinao, Zhou Ning estimated that even the game officials would think that he is the protagonist of the game.

As for the posts in the section...

The taste is a bit wrong.

At first glance, they are all posts with the same format, [Wayne - Wayne Stewell, Coming for Grace], and it feels like they are too much fan circle content.

There are also various fan fictions. Since there is too little information about the first episode, the protagonist relies entirely on imagination. Zhou Ning felt terrible after clicking on a few of them.

The girls loved pairing him up, but Zhou Ning found that most of them paired him up with Chrissie Brendan Reiser. The others were quite peculiar, with some pairing him up with Leandro de Pesa, some with the fat guy, and some even going so far as to pair him with Marion and even a cultist...

I'm mad at you, mom, please stop! Zhou Ning couldn't help but feel horrified.

Click on the pinned post again, the name of this episode is "Alchemical Ghost".

Zhou Ning twitched the corners of his mouth...as expected.

Play video.

This episode begins early in the morning with heavy snow falling. Zhou Ning walks out of the apartment wearing a white shirt and a black vest.

The intelligent computer was indeed very good at playing games. It deliberately gave Zhou Ning a close-up from a distance, which triggered a barrage of comments right from the start.

Then, the plot begins. Zhou Ning discovers a murder in the woods. Sherlock officially appears as a member of the official Day Guardians of the Kingdom of Braxton and communicates with Zhou Ning.

A name popped up above Sherlock's head: Captain of the Third Day Watch Squad, Meteorologist Sherlock Moriarty.

Through the communication between Zhou Ning and Sherlock, the audience learned from Zhou Ning that the murderer this time was most likely someone from the Life Alchemy Society.

In the next few days, Sherlock conducted a series of investigations. He first screened out all the teachers and students from Runes in the school, and asked them if they had any unusual behavior recently. Then he eliminated them one by one through visits and investigations. It didn't take long to basically lock on Holvig Guy.

Through investigation, Sherlock found out that Holweg had a girlfriend named Maggie, who mysteriously disappeared a few days ago and was then very close to the deceased Sharon. He was the only one who met all the conditions, so it only took him two days to find the murderer.

The video fast-forwarded and went straight to the Alchemy Building late at night, where Sherlock and two day watchmen blocked Holweg Guy.

A war is about to break out.

The two sides started a fierce battle. At the beginning, under the suppression of Sherlock's meteorological ability, Holweg was still in a difficult situation, but when he began to use his invisibility ability, the situation became one-sided.

The two day guards were quickly killed by Holweg's air bombs, and Sherlock's situation was also critical.

The players were all very distressed, and there were even very few people who posted comments.

This repression suddenly triggered the players' excitement when the camera suddenly switched to Zhou Ning.

"High energy ahead!!"

"High energy warning, please fasten your seat belts!"

“My husband is going to save the world!

"Good boy, the protagonist is indeed the protagonist. His IQ is obviously suppressed. Sherlock has been investigating for so long, but this guy seems to have guessed who the murderer is from the beginning and went straight to the Alchemy Building."

"Of course. I even suspect that Wayne had already guessed who the murderer was from the beginning."

Needless to say, these people are basically fast-forwarders, who come back to post comments after reading the later content.

Zhou Ning: ...

Could he say these people were overthinking things? If it weren't for the system prompting the mission progress and the voices he heard, who would have known the murderer was in the Alchemy Building...

In the video, for some reason, the intelligent computer did not cut in the scene of Zhou Ning gliding in his Phoenix suit, but instead directly gave a close-up of Zhou Ning in a formal suit holding an umbrella and walking towards the Alchemy Building.

Not to mention, even Zhou Ning himself thought he was so handsome. This scene could be used as a wallpaper if taken as a screenshot. His charm value of 99 is really not to be underestimated.

The series continues...

Zhou Ning pushed the door open and saw Sherlock falling down the stairs. He rolled over and half-knelt in front of Zhou Ning, pointing his gun at him. The barrage of comments was instantly covered by the same line of subtitles: "Should I say no need to be polite? Or should I surrender first?"

Immediately afterwards, a series of air bullets attacked, but Zhou Ning dodged them all with his swift movements. Then, when Zhou Ning leaned back to avoid the bullets behind him, Sherlock cast Thunder, and the intelligent computer deliberately gave Zhou Ning a wide-angle close-up. While leaning back, he twisted his waist and moved sideways, and an ivory-handled revolver silently appeared in his hand, spinning around between his fingers.

The whole process can be seen clearly, it's so cool.

Before the players could react, the next scene drove everyone crazy.

A ball of fire burst out from the muzzle of the revolver. Because the intelligent computer deliberately gave it a close-up and slow motion, all players could see the process of the revolver operating: the finger pulled the trigger, the trigger rod pushed the hammer backward, and a flaming bullet shot out from the muzzle with an amazing rotation. Because of the slow motion, players could even see circles of ripples around the bullet that seemed to cut through space.

"Oh my god, I'm so shocked! What kind of skill is this?"

"Turtle, isn't he so handsome?"

"Surprised, he's really good at it..."

"Damn, I want to learn this skill too! It's so cool!"

With the appearance of Zhou Ning, the number of barrages increased significantly.

When Zhou Ning started the battle, the number of barrages even reached five times that of a few minutes ago, which shows how popular Zhou Ning was at that time.

Because judging by the two episodes of the series that have been aired so far, Zhou Ning's character perfectly fits the preferences of the players, especially the girls.

Not only is he incredibly handsome, he is also smart, wise, capable, has a good personality, and can occasionally be humorous.

It's simply the perfect protagonist template.

Two minutes later, when Zhou Ning forced Holvig to reveal himself with the help of Sherlock, and coldly pulled the trigger, killing the completely monsterized Holvig, the barrage instantly reached its climax.

"Fuck! He's so handsome, cool, calm, and most importantly, decisive. I love him!"

"Take my husband away again..."

"Don't be such a fangirl upstairs, but even as a man, I like it! Forget it, there's no need to be so insistent on the gender aspect. Just take my husband away..."

"Brothers in the video, please be careful. There are more and more zero-overflow incidents now. Boys must protect themselves when they go out."

Zhou Ning: ...

The first half of the plot was quite depressing, it was like watching a detective drama, and the detective was being suppressed and beaten. It was not until now that I felt refreshed.

Finally, when Zhou Ning picked up the diary on the ground and began to read, the intelligent computer even thoughtfully marked subtitles.

Players also learned the origin of the entire murder case and were deeply impressed by one of the major NPC forces in the game: the Life Alchemy Society.
