Nightmare Attack

"Captain Wu is in danger." The book that Lin Muwan held up had this line of words written on it. The slightly scribbled handwriting could see the worry in the woman's heart.

There was a light of anticipation in her eyes, but the people who were swept by this burst of light avoided her sight.

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

In the end, Xia Qiang decided to be the villain, "Ms. 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 reality scene. Immersive games, here, except for us, everyone else is the characters in the game, they...they're not real people, so..."

Xia Qiang's words became more and more unnatural. 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 look of disappointment appeared on Lin Muwan's face. She looked away and looked at Jiang Cheng, as if she was certain that this man with a bit of temperament like her brother would not lie to her.

Jiang Cheng pursed his lips slightly, "Miss Lin, Captain Xia is wrong, whether in the mission world or in the real world, we should all respect and revere life, if possible, we will live in every place that should survive. When people are in distress, lend a helping hand.”

Hearing that Lin Muwan's expression was a little moved, she opened her mouth, but before she made a sound, she heard Jiang Cheng continue: "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 likely to be a trap."

"The purpose is to lead us to the reasoning hall, and then kill us all." Jiang Cheng glanced at Lin Muyun, who was standing beside her, and added: "Miss Lin, you have seen the strange things in the reasoning hall during the day, and you don't want to. Let your brother accompany us on an adventure."

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

Seeing Lin Muwan's slightly drooping eyes, Jiang Cheng knew that his words played a role, but the strange thing was that he didn't have the pleasure of succeeding in his plan. On the contrary, he felt a sense of loss in his heart.

Looking at Lin Muwan's eyes again, there is no calmness and naturalness that he once had.

Feeling the caring eyes projected by Lin Muyun, Lin Mu nodded late, then picked up the notebook and quickly wrote a line on it, "I'm sorry for causing you trouble."

Jiang Cheng tilted his head, avoiding the words on the book.

The night was surprisingly quiet.

And the phone in the office never rang again.

These things that have happened one after another have dispelled everyone's sleepiness. More importantly, everyone knows that it doesn't matter whether they sleep or not. Anyway, when the time is up, they will fall into forced sleep.

There will be a burst of alarm sound as a reminder.

Everyone was sitting around the sofa, Xia Qiang pondered for a moment, and said to Jiang Cheng: "Mr. Jiang, is it convenient for you to chat with me alone?"

The two 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 woven. Everything was the same as in the real world.

Xia Qiang followed Jiang Cheng's line of sight and looked out the window, and said after a long time: "After staying in this world for a long time, I always feel that I fit more and more here, not the real world, maybe if I stay long enough, I really can't go back. Yes." There was a hint of sigh in his voice.

"Mr. Jiang." Xia Qiang retracted his gaze and looked at Jiang Cheng's profile with a firm gaze, "You said that guys like us are more like people, or more like that kind of thing?"

Xia Qiang also had a door on his back, and Jiang Cheng could smell a familiar madness and throbbing from him.

It's just that Xia Qiang concealed it very well. At least it seems that he is still a while away from being completely eroded.

But Jiang Cheng understood that if he could ask such a question, it meant that he had little time left, at least it was much shorter than it seemed.

"Like a person or a ghost, it depends on us." Jiang Cheng said: "You have also experienced a lot of tasks, you should understand that the people in some tasks are more terrifying than ghosts."

Xia Qiang smiled, "You're right." After a pause, he looked at Jiang Cheng up and down with scrutiny eyes, 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 eroded by the door, this man named Gong Zhe became the Xia family's Dinghai Shenzhen.

Jiang Cheng had met him a few times, and each time it was not pleasant. He was a tough guy. Just standing there would give people pressure.

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

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

Xia Qiang didn't take it seriously, this is a man who seems to be more forthright, and his feelings towards his team members are also very sincere.

In this respect, he is very similar to Captain Wu who called him earlier.

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

"You will grow into a very scary thing, maybe..." Xia Qiang's face became formal, "Even he finds it a difficult existence."

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

"Mr. Jiang's opinion on the current situation?" Xia Qiang changed his tone, as if he didn't feel abrupt at all.

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

"But according to 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, as if he had thought of something, his expression suddenly became a little strange.

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

"The current clues are quite messy, we need to go to Room 19 at least once again." Jiang Cheng lowered his voice.

"That player's code." Xia Qiang said knowingly, from the name, it is a very important clue, but if you want to get the code, you have to face the attack of ghosts, and they have not yet found a rule to avoid ghosts.

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