I Play the Horror World as a Simulation Game

"Even though I agree with what you're doing, considering I owe him a life, let's forget it. Besides, I'm not one to advocate violence."

Qin Nuo said, though in reality, the ghost at the back of Shi Yu's head didn't seem like an easy opponent either. If a fight broke out, who knew who would come out on top.

"You, not advocating violence?"

"Yes, just look at my friendly face."

The Blood-Eyed Ghost rolled its eyes, looking as if it didn't believe a word.

"He's an oddball, don't mind him," Qin Yushi said, trying to comfort Qin Nuo as she observed his expression.

"We've met in the instance before;

nothing he does is what a normal person would do," Qin Nuo nodded.

"When I used to work with your sister, I saved her life. You both owe me a life, is this how you treat your savior?" Shi Yu asked, hands in his pockets.

Qin Nuo and Qin Yushi ignored him.

A Highlander approached, and as the door opened, Qin Yushi said, "Let's get in the car first." Qin Yushi got in and saw two people already seated in the back. She glanced at the driver and asked, "Xin Ge, is there a task today?"

The man named Xin Ge, holding the steering wheel with one hand and a cigarette with the other, nodded, "After dropping you off, we have another task, an urgent one, so time is tight."

"New faces, what do you two do?" Shi Yu, clearly a chatterbox, asked as he sat down, not planning to stop talking.

The two smiled, "Just transferred into the organization, please take care of us."

The car was spacious, and Qin Nuo found a seat and settled in as the door closed.

"Ready? Let's go."

Xin Ge flicked his cigarette and started the car.

As they drove on the overpass, Xin Ge casually asked, "Rose, is this young man your brother?"

Qin Nuo realized that Rose was a nickname for Qin Yushi, though he wasn't sure if it was an organizational term or her Horror Game player ID.

"Yes, Xin Ge, I haven't seen you around lately. Did you complete your tasks smoothly?" Qin Yushi asked, tapping her phone casually.

"If I hadn't, would I be sitting here talking to you? Those are life-threatening jobs!" Xin Ge replied with a wry smile.

"Since the Horror Game appeared, reality has changed a lot, especially in the western world, where even more terrifying wars have erupted."

"They're not fighting over resources, but Ghost Creatures."

"Ghost Creatures?" Qin Nuo raised an eyebrow.

"You might not know, but recently, in a western country, a player brought back a Ghost Creature from the Horror World, an Obliteration-level Ghost Creature!"

"After that country requisitioned the Ghost Creature, it directly sparked a war, and several neighboring small countries were swallowed up!" Xin Ge said, watching Qin Nuo's expression through the rearview mirror.

"Other major countries either fear or covet this Ghost Creature, leading to even larger wars!"

"The destructive power of such a Ghost Creature surpasses even the strongest weapons of powerful nations."

"So, in the two years since the Horror Game emerged, it has almost changed the seemingly peaceful order. Many people don't want to go to war, just to protect their families..."

Qin Nuo was astonished.

An Obliteration-level Ghost Creature, the most terrifying known Ghost Creature.

Its destructive power comparable to humanity's strongest weapons, what kind of concept is that?

Noticing Qin Nuo's expression, Xin Ge switched to autopilot and turned to ask Qin Nuo, "Do you know what those players requisitioned by the state are tasked with?"

Qin Nuo hesitated for a moment, then said, "Isn't it to participate in the Horror Game?"

"Some participate in wars, some in the Horror Game."

"Those players requisitioned by the state can significantly interfere with instances. Their goal in entering instances is clear, there's only one."

"And that's to seize the highest-level rewards."

"Compete with whom?" Although Qin Nuo had a rough idea, he still asked.

"The top players from other countries, who will stop at nothing to kill players from other factions for instance rewards."

"In the highest-level instances..."

"Xin Ge, you're talking a bit too much today. What you're saying doesn't concern us, does it?" Qin Yushi suddenly interrupted Xin Ge.

Xin Ge scratched his head and smiled, "I just got a bit carried away."

"After all, the person in front of me is the world's first player to participate in the Horror Game."

"Xin Ge, you should focus on driving. Autopilot, after all, still has its risks," Qin Yushi said lightly, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear.

"Alright, don't mind me. You know how Xin Ge is, once I start talking about something interesting, I can't stop."

Xin Ge put both hands back on the steering wheel.

In the back seat, Shi Yu leaned back, smiling, "You know, in a previous instance I played, I matched with a Russian guy. I couldn't understand a word he said."

"That guy's sexual orientation seemed a bit off, looking at everyone like they were his little darling."

"And then?" Qin Nuo asked.

"Then I twisted his head off," Shi Yu said, hands behind his head, grinning.

"......"

"Why aren't you guys talking?" Shi Yu looked at the two in the back seat.

The two just smiled and remained silent.

"They're from the special operations team, trained from a young age. It's normal for them to be quiet."

Xin Ge said casually.

"Is that so, I'm a bit sleepy. Wake me up when we arrive, I'll take a nap."

Shi Yu covered his face with his hat and dozed off.

Qin Nuo gazed out the window, watching the high-speed train in the distance, lost in thought.

"Something's strange," the Blood-Eyed Ghost said.

"What is it?" Qin Nuo asked in his mind.

"There's a Ghost Aura spreading in the car. It wasn't there when we first got in," the Blood-Eyed Ghost said.

Qin Nuo's gaze immediately fell on the back of Shi Yu's head, who was snoring.

"These people aren't simple. Having a Ghost Creature on them, or even inside them, isn't surprising."

"This smell is making me uncomfortable. We should get out of the car soon."

Just as Qin Nuo was about to respond to the Blood-Eyed Ghost, his hand was grabbed.

It was Qin Yushi's hand. Qin Nuo looked up at her and found her expressionless, not even glancing at him.

Qin Nuo's eyes flickered.

Qin Yushi put down her phone and asked, "Xin Ge, do you know how your brother Zhou died?"

Xin Ge shifted gears, smiling lightly, "Why do you ask?"

"Just curious, you remember, right?"

"I kind of forgot."

"Let me remind you, he betrayed the organization and got his head taken off."

Qin Yushi put her hand back in her pocket, her eyes flickering slightly, "So, do you want to follow in his footsteps?"

Xin Ge didn't answer.

But Qin Nuo's expression changed.

In the silence, the hand Xin Ge used to grip the steering wheel developed horrific corpse spots.

His side face was also corroded by corpse spots, flesh rotting away to reveal blood-red teeth and stark white bones...

"Girl, your sense of smell is still sharp."

Xin Ge spoke hoarsely, blood streaming from his eyes, his eyeballs seeming ready to fall out, blood mixed with pus trickling down his cheeks.

The moment he finished speaking, he suddenly jerked the steering wheel, crashing the car into the concrete at the fork.

In an instant, the entire car was airborne, tumbling on the overpass...
