Mistaking a horror game for a romance novel, he unexpectedly became a legend.

"Ah~" Wang Haiming roared, enraged by the photos Song Yi had thrown all over the floor.

"Young man, you've angered the NPC. This photo can't be used as a talisman. You're still a bit naive. You'd better run away quickly."

"Yes, he didn't bring any weapons. Wang Haiming's pigeon-toed stance means he probably won't run as fast as usual. Let's hurry up and move on."

The audience was holding their breath for Song Yi. How could he provoke a B-level ghost like that? The last person to do that had been an NPC in the game for over a hundred years.

Then Song Yi started doing some crazy things.

"Don't like it? I've prepared something else for you."

Song Yi pulled out a black bag from somewhere, first taking out a lighter, and then surprisingly, a paper effigy.

That little man was creepy-looking, but for some reason, it was easy to associate him with the fierce-looking thugs I'd seen earlier that day.

"I specially asked a skilled craftsman to make it. Isn't it beautiful? I'll burn it for you now."

"No~"

The moment the paper figure was set ablaze, Wang Haiming yelled again, but it was too late. The paper figure was flammable, and by the time he realized what was happening, the fire had already engulfed it completely. Inside the paper figure, Song Yi had specially asked a geomancer to slip a note, fearing that it wouldn't be delivered to Wang Haiming after it burned.

The moment the little paper figure turned to ashes, another person appeared in the room.

A burly man stood beside Wang Haiming. Although he didn't say anything, just his presence alone made Wang Haiming, a B-level martial arts student, feel his legs go weak.

Seeing Wang Haiming's face turn from pale to dark, Song Yi asked considerately, "If you don't like it, then I have other options."

Then Song Yi took out another one from the black bag and burned it, and then burned thirteen more in a row.

The paper figures actually had no fighting power, but the paper figures that Song Yi had his master set up, after being burned, were all over 1.9 meters tall, each one a head taller than Wang Haiming, making Wang Haiming feel both inferior and fearful.

Don't think that just because you were afraid of something when you were human, you won't be afraid when you become a vengeful ghost. Psychological trauma is something that is etched into your memory, even after you die.

Wang Haiming was already on the verge of collapse upon seeing all this.

Song Yi opened his phone and said, "I've selected several websites and wanted to ask for your opinion. Which one do you want to use?"

Wang Haiming lay on the ground, convulsing with shame, indignation, and pain. Even though he knew that the group of paper figures surrounding him were merely for show and had no fighting power, he still couldn't overcome his fear.

"Take it away, take it away."

"No, I'll at least leave you one night. Don't underestimate these little figures just because they're small. The geomancer charged me eight thousand yuan, so I can't let them go to waste."

Song Yi's bizarre actions stunned four or five million viewers in the live stream. Although it was very inappropriate, I really felt sorry for Wang Haiming because he had already topped the list of the most miserable NPCs.

It's quite rare for an NPC to be tormented like this by players.

Before they knew it, another twenty minutes had passed. Wang Haiming had recovered, and Song Yi had successfully survived again.

The other four players are now very curious about Song Yi, this player. How did a complete novice manage to make an NPC kneel down and beg for mercy?

The third day was a test for everyone.

The conditions for passing level 1386 are: first, find the murderer who killed Zhou Yuyan and identify him to pass the level immediately; second, survive the ghost chase during the last half hour of the third night's game.

Starting in the morning, the other players realized the urgency of the situation and began frantically searching for clues.

Zhou Yuyan no longer lives in the original neighborhood, and Song Yi moved so quickly that no one around knows where they went.

Otherwise, Wang Donglai might have gone mad. He just happened to lose all his targets, and Zhou Qi would at least be able to see Xiao Bao and the others at the hospital.

Zhao Yuanyuan has been doing alright these past two days. Although her husband Wang Haiming had been beating her, he has been gone for several hours now. The last time he came home, he had bruises and bloodstains on his cheeks. But as long as her "hunt value" doesn't increase, she doesn't care if he lives or dies.

Currently, the "hunted" value for the novice character Wang Yan is 30% because he is inexperienced and has not come into contact with any major characters.

Zhao Yuanyuan's pursuit value: 42%

Zhou Qi's pursuit value: 53%

Wang Donglai's kill threshold: 68%

Song Yi's pursuit value: 99.99999 (infinite loop).

Level 3 player Zhou Qi was worried as he saw that he was currently ranked third in terms of being hunted. In desperation, he contacted game player Wang Donglai.

The two met downstairs at the hospital, wanting to ask each other if they knew anyone who might be the killer.

Wang Donglai: "Based on the pursuit value, Wang Fei is the most suspicious."

Wang Donglai is also a suspect. As the supermarket owner, he had bullied Zhou Yuyan in the past and even molested her.

However, having inherited this identity, he naturally knew that he was not the one who killed the person.

Zhou Qi is already level 3. He has played four games and doesn't particularly trust Wang Donglai, the supermarket owner.

In previous games, the one with the highest pursuit value wasn't the murderer; the one with the lowest pursuit value was. That's why Zhou Qi didn't dare to vote.

It was already the third night, and the two were still unable to confirm the killer's identity, leaving them at a loss.

Zhou Qi managed to buy some items to help him withstand the NPCs' transformation into ghosts, and Wang Donglai also bought about ten health packs to replenish his supplies, but the remaining newcomers probably won't have it so easy to clear the game.

The two sighed in unison: "Looks like we'll just have to wait until the game ends."

Just then, a message suddenly appeared in the system:

"Player Wang Yan has cleared the game!"

"Fuck!!!"

"Nima!!!"

Wang Donglai, Zhou Qi, and Zhao Yuanyuan went crazy when they saw the news.

Wang Yan, whose identity is that of an unemployed novice, is someone everyone should ignore.

"What happened? How did he beat the game?"

"Did they use a cheat?"

"Impossible. He's a newbie with only 10 points. How much would a cheat cost? A poor guy like him can't afford it."

Wang Yan, this newbie, spent more than two days wandering around the game without seeing a single decent character, and finally ran into Song Yi on the road:

"Song Yi, are you the murderer?"

Song Yi: "No."

Wang Yan: "Then who do you think it is?"

Song Yi: "I think it's his ex-husband, Wang Haiming."

Thus, rookie Wang Yan cleared the level.

Wang Yan stood in the game lobby, completely bewildered: "It's already passed?"

The live stream viewers watched Wang Yan, who looked completely bewildered.

"I'm dying of laughter, this is the easiest player I've ever seen complete 1386."

"One dares to speak, and the other dares to believe; I'm truly impressed by these two old men."

"That silly boy Wang Yan, doesn't he know that he can only guess once? If he guesses wrong, he will be turned into an NPC by the system."

"1386 has been offended."
