I Play the Horror World as a Simulation Game

"I've been pondering over the words left to me by my parents in the Horror World. They said the instance would give me answers if I wanted to find them. Now, I think I've found the answer."

Qin Nuo spoke while holding an earring, looking at Qin Yushi sitting opposite him.

Fang Yushan wasn't slow to catch on. He quickly understood, "You're saying your parents are in a higher-level region."

"Isn't that obvious?"

"Obviously, in this instance, I can find some traces of my parents. In the instances of higher regions, wouldn't it be possible to find more clues?" Qin Nuo said.

"Young man, you can't rush things. You seem to have become quite impatient," Fang Yushan advised earnestly.

"I feel the same way. I don't know if other players experience this, but I feel affected by the Horror World, not just what I see, but in body and mind," Qin Nuo said.

He had an inexplicable desire to uncover the true identity of his parents living in the Horror World.

To find his own truth.

This desire made him impatient. Clearly, he used to approach everything with caution, step by step.

"This situation is normal."

"Many players are affected by the Horror World. The constant fear and danger in the game keep the brain in a state of tension, which is a mental torment. Even if the game doesn't result in death, many players return to the real world with mental issues, even brain death," Fang Yushan explained.

"Tomorrow, Qin Yushi will take you for a check-up and prescribe some medication if necessary."

"I'm perfectly normal, don't treat me like a mental patient," Qin Nuo said.

"It's just some medication to help you relax, from a legitimate hospital. We're not into mind control; that's science fiction."

"As I've said, we mean you no harm. You're not our guinea pig; you're our partner with crucial intelligence."

"You want to find the truth, and we want to uncover the truth of the Horror Civilization's origin. Our goals align, and what we can do is try to meet your needs and assist you fully," Fang Yushan said.

"Well said, like a top salesman. Then fulfill my current need first," Qin Nuo replied.

Fang Yushan fell silent.

After a moment, he said, "This matter is important and quite challenging. I need to discuss it with a few others."

"Alright then," Qin Nuo wasn't in a hurry for an answer.

Just as he took off the headset, he added, "One more thing, it's rude to spy on someone's privacy like this. There's no need to watch me eat and sleep."

"It's for your safety."

"Last time, when that guild caused trouble for you, we took care of it," a different voice chimed in, likely a subordinate.

"You said it yourself, I'm not a guinea pig."

Qin Nuo glanced at Qin Yushi, "Having a sister watch over me is enough."

Without waiting for a response, Qin Nuo handed the earring back to Qin Yushi.

Qin Yushi exchanged a few words with the other side, then suddenly crushed the earring into pieces, scattering them on the table. She smiled and said, "They agreed."

"It was indeed our fault, invading your privacy too much."

Qin Nuo yawned, "You don't have anything else on you, do you?"

Qin Yushi leaned back in her chair, raising her hands, "If you're worried, you can check."

"Forget it, men and women shouldn't touch each other," Qin Nuo shook his head.

"Last year at home, I was the one hanging your underwear."

Qin Nuo coughed lightly, "I'm full, you take your time eating."

"I've already helped you apply for withdrawal from school."

"Because when your entire class was forcibly sent into the Horror World, your school was greatly affected," Qin Yushi said.

"I understand."

Qin Nuo just nodded and returned to the living room, leaning on the sofa.

Qin Yushi didn't eat much either, starting to clean up the dishes and heading into the kitchen to wash them.

Turning on the TV, Qin Nuo's attention wasn't on the news but on Qin Yushi in the kitchen.

Watching her back, Qin Nuo squinted slightly, wanting to find something...

When the sky outside turned completely dark, Qin Nuo finished his bath and stood on the balcony, drying his hair while gazing at the brightly lit buildings outside, lost in thought.

"I've cut some fruit for you."

Qin Yushi placed a plate of fruit on the table.

Looking at Qin Nuo, she added, "Tomorrow, come with me to the hospital for a check-up."

"I'm perfectly normal."

Qin Nuo walked in, still drying his hair.

"I know, but those old fellows upstairs need your mental report."

"We have a team dedicated to checking your health after returning from the Horror World," Qin Yushi said with a hint of helplessness.

"You guys are really 'professional,' huh?" Qin Nuo picked up a piece of fruit from the table and popped it into his mouth.

"If you cooperate, we'll do our best to help you achieve that goal."

"Then let's go."

After drying his hair, Qin Nuo planned to return to his room to rest.

At the door of his room, he looked at Qin Yushi in the living room and suddenly remembered something, "By the way, before entering the instance, didn't you say there was something you wanted to tell me? Can you say it now?"

Qin Yushi blinked, paused for a moment, and said, "It's not the right time yet. I'll tell you in a couple of days."

Although keeping secrets was annoying, Qin Nuo didn't press further and returned to his room.

Late at night, around midnight.

Lying in bed, Qin Nuo tossed and turned, suddenly waking up. Sitting up, he realized his mouth was dry, so he got up to pour a glass of water. Seeing his reflection in the mirror, he was startled.

His face was pale, lips cracked, and he looked terribly haggard.

"How could I look like I've been drained after just a nap?" Qin Nuo touched his face. Despite his frightening appearance, he felt nothing.

Looking at his face, Qin Nuo suddenly realized he seemed to have dreamed of something while asleep.

What did he dream about?

He couldn't remember.

In the dream, he felt extremely oppressed and uncomfortable.

More so than having a ghost choke him!

"Your face looks scarier than a ghost," a blood-red eye appeared on his arm.

"Right? I even scared myself," Qin Nuo said, still feeling thirsty, pouring another glass of water and drinking it all.

"Why do I feel like you're more out of place after returning to the real world?"

"You weren't like this the last two times."

"Stayed too long, it's normal to feel out of place."

Qin Nuo replied casually, walking to the window. Looking at the city outside, still glowing with colorful neon lights in the middle of the night, he silently closed the window...
