After deploying the dungeon, Reincarnation of Death quickly began to drift in the void, searching for its first destined person.
Xu Si was anxious and restless. Whenever she had time, she couldn’t help checking Jiang Ning’s novel and leaving comments repeatedly.
Si Si Wants to Sleep: [Did something really happen to Xu Kai?]
Si Si Wants to Sleep: [Author, can you please reply to me? There will be a huge reward! This is very important to me! Whether it’s true or false, please just reply!]
Si Si Wants to Sleep: [Add my WeChat, author.]
But she refreshed for half a day and didn’t get a single answer.
Xu Si stayed in the comment section for half a day and discovered that Jiang Ning never replied to reader comments. Her heart was filled with despair.
Why doesn’t this Jiang Ning look at novel comments at all?
Did something really happen to Brother?
She didn’t want to believe this reality, but the situation was right in front of her, leaving her no choice but to believe it.
Si Si Wants to Sleep: [Can you ask Fu Zhao to save my brother? We can give you that plot of land my family owns in the city center.]
Still no reply.
Xu Si simply asked someone for Fu Zhao’s number and called him.
After promising a pile of benefits, Fu Zhao agreed, but when she asked if he could save a few more people, he refused outright.
After the call, Xu Si’s back was covered in cold sweat. Clutching her phone, a wave of frustration rose in her heart.
Why can’t I be an Awakened?
Because there were no Awakened in their family, her father’s position as mayor was very unstable. Even if he did a lot for everyone, he was still not looked upon favorably.
Moreover, her father couldn’t control those Awakened at all. Those people in the Special Abnormalities Administration didn’t care about the lives of ordinary people.
Or perhaps it wasn’t that they didn’t care, but that they couldn’t afford to care. Humans were simply too fragile in front of Urban Legends.
Xu Si still remembered the newly appointed Director of the Special Abnormalities Administration shouting at her father back then.
“If we can’t save them, we can’t save them! All the people in my bureau are dead! There are a few usable newcomers. Do we have to trade a life for a life when we aren’t even sure we can get them back?!”
“Who isn’t a child?! The average age of death in our bureau is only 28!”
She was young at the time and felt puzzled hearing this.
If the Special Abnormalities Administration couldn’t do anything and refused to save people, then who else could? Even Awakened had only the choice of dragging out an ignoble existence in the face of ghosts.
The Director of the Special Abnormalities Administration couldn’t bear to lose his subordinates, or perhaps feared becoming a commander without an army. So what way out did ordinary people have?
And now, her father and brother were both inside an Urban Legend, and she still couldn’t do anything.
Over a decade had passed, and nothing had changed.
Xu Si looked at Jiang Ning’s latest chapter, clenched the phone in her hand, and suddenly gave a miserable smile.
Originally, she felt Jiang Ning’s novel was too “Mary Sue” and illogical. A Guayi liking her was one thing—at most just Mary Sue—but being willing to give her an ability was simply unreasonable and excessive.
Now she felt that it would be great if it were true. What a wonderful thing.
If it were true, she would try it no matter what, even if the price was death.
Seven chances. I must find the cause of death and get the ability.
There is only one road to walk. Would I still be afraid of falling and shattering my bones?
If only ordinary people really had a way to obtain abilities.
Zzz—Zzz—
Her phone suddenly made a strange noise.
Xu Si raised her finger to wipe the tears from the screen when suddenly her vision went black.
A familiar yet strange sentence rang in her ears.
“You have been captured by an Urban Legend. Please confirm if you wish to enter the Urban Legend — Reincarnation of Death.”
“You have only one chance. Successful clearance grants rewards. Failure… please try not to fail.”
Reincarnation of Death.
It was exactly the same as what was written in Jiang Ning’s novel.
Complex emotions swept over her: doubt, touched feelings, surprise, but no fear.
Her heart pounded hard, and she curled her lips into a smile that looked like she was crying.
She thought of her frail mother downstairs and her brother, whose life might be in danger in the Urban Legend.
“Can the reward be transferred? Can it be obtained multiple times?”
Can the reward be transferred or obtained multiple times?
Since the dungeon had just been established, the game dungeon relayed these questions to Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning made a cross.
No!
There is no such rule.
Virtual rewards are for personal use only!
However, the points obtained by the top three players with the best clearance data are enough to buy some self-defense items for their families.
The System was puzzled: [ Ningning, you… ]
It was a bit surprised and a bit happy, thinking Ningning had understood emotions.
After all, although Jiang Ning was a slacker employee in the Survival Game who only completed the minimum business standards, she wasn’t this nice.
Jiang Ning pulled up the census map of this world. “The population of Dashan Nation is currently 5 million, which is the most populous country on this planet. The population of other countries combined is only about 10 million.”
“But the Main God’s Survival Game has at least over a billion players. While most died, those still alive are far, far more numerous than the people on this planet.”
Jiang Ning tapped the table, her small face expressionless. “Although we did a good job cleaning up when we left, the Main God will find out we ran away sooner or later.”
Even though the Main God was busy and might not discover immediately that a BOSS under him was missing, it was only a matter of time.
“I have to recover my strength before that. People are indispensable.”
Okay, Ningning is still that Ningning, hasn’t changed a bit.
The System breathed a sigh of relief.
System: QAQ
But speaking of this, the System felt a bit guilty.
[ I know. If only I were a bit more powerful. ]
“It’s not your fault,” Jiang Ning sensed the System’s low spirits and comforted it. “You don’t need to worry. I have a plan. Besides, being caught back isn’t a big deal. At most, I’ll work for another few thousand years.”
Compared to sending players to their deaths at the drop of a hat, the Main God letting NPCs work for free was considered very merciful.
So Jiang Ning actually didn’t care much about working for free. After all, she didn’t have normal human emotions.
But there was a lot of delicious food here, and Jiang Ning didn’t want to leave yet. She wouldn’t go back if she could help it.
She hadn’t thought of it before, but now that she had…
Jiang Ning took a sip of lemon tea.
One minute later.
Jiang Ning sensed something. “Xu Si entered the dungeon.” She was also the first person to enter the dungeon.
This was faster than she expected.
Just as she raised her hand to create a Mirror of Truth to watch Xu Si’s game situation, faint spots of white light appeared in the pitch-black corridor.
The white light was weak and gentle, carrying an aura completely opposite to ghosts.
Seeing this for the first time, Jiang Ning let out a surprised “Eh?” and watched the white dots of light merge into her body.
Her injuries had healed a bit by this white light. Although very little, it couldn’t be ignored, and there was even a bit of warmth.
“What is this?”
She felt her power increase by a fraction.
Now… she seemed to be able to “see” Xu Si’s situation without the Mirror of Truth.
What’s going on?
Jiang Ning was very confused.
So strange.
