Chapter 30 - Sister's secret, replace and enter!
After the meal, Qin Yushi wanted to take Qin Nuo for a walk, but Wang Xun said she had some matters at the office and had to leave first.
As they were leaving the restaurant, Qin Yushi remembered something and asked Qin Nuo to wait in the car. She then ran over to Wang Xun and whispered something.
"What are they talking about?" Qin Nuo raised an eyebrow slightly.
Even though it might be a little secret between besties, Qin Nuo always felt that his sister was hiding something from him.
He knew Qin Yushi too well.
But they were too far away, and with the wind blowing, he couldn't hear the conversation at all.
"I heard it," the Blood-Eyed Ghost suddenly said.
"What did they say?" Qin Nuo asked eagerly.
"Not telling you."
"......"
"Come on, buddy, we share the same body now. What's mine is yours, and what's yours is mine."
"Don't be so petty, just tell me!"
"I'll tell you, for a piece of Meat of Taisui!" the Blood-Eyed Ghost said, salivating.
Clearly, it was already hooked on that stuff, the taste was unforgettable!
"This stuff is precious, not some street-side rotten sweet potato."
"Half a piece then."
"Deal!"
In reality, there were only two pieces of Meat of Taisui, and they were gone.
But Qin Nuo found the price of Meat of Taisui in the newly opened system shop, 80 Ghost Currency per piece.
A bit pricey, but if it could help establish a good relationship with the Blood-Eyed Ghost, it was worth it.
After tasting the Meat of Taisui, the Blood-Eyed Ghost smacked its lips in satisfaction.
"So, what did they say?"
"Your sister is about to be forcibly sent into the Horror Game."
"Why do you say that?" Qin Nuo's expression changed.
"There are two types of forced entry: one is during an unexpected accident, sending someone who is about to die in."
"The second type involves selecting a scenario and then placing a curse for forced entry two or three days in advance from your human world."
"The first type is rare, and you just happened to be one."
"The second type is more common."
"Because each scenario in the Horror Game requires players to participate, but there aren't enough volunteers. So, the Horror Game selects players and forces them to participate."
"Without any surprises, your sister should be forcibly sent in these two days!"
The Blood-Eyed Ghost's words made Qin Nuo's expression turn grim.
No wonder he always felt his sister was hiding something from him; she was about to be forcibly sent into the Horror World.
"With forced entry, the difficulty of the scenario is random. Some terrifying scenarios have protection mechanisms but can still lead to death."
Qin Nuo asked in a deep voice, "Is Wang Xun here to coach my sister?"
"From their conversation, Wang Xun isn't just coaching; it seems she's going to take your sister's place in the Horror Game."
"Is that possible?" Qin Nuo was taken aback.
"Humans have a machine to transfer curses. As long as identities are swapped and entered into the Horror Game before forced entry, it can be done," the Blood-Eyed Ghost explained.
"I've seen humans do this before, entering the Horror Game for those rich folks afraid of death. The price isn't cheap!"
"I wonder how much your sister paid to convince Wang Xun?"
Qin Nuo squinted his eyes, looking towards Qin Yushi, and asked, "When are they starting?"
"From the sound of it, probably tomorrow."
The Blood-Eyed Ghost was a bit dissatisfied, "Human, you ask too many questions. If you ask more, it'll cost extra!"
"No need to ask, I understand."
Qin Nuo withdrew his gaze.
He had a plan in mind.
Over there, Wang Xun and Qin Yushi said their goodbyes and returned to the car.
"Sis, what were you talking about for so long?" Qin Nuo asked with a smile.
"Just some girl talk, boys shouldn't ask too much."
Qin Yushi flicked Qin Nuo's forehead and started the car.
"Also, Wang Xun is coming over to our house tomorrow, dress formally, don't be so sloppy!"
"Okay, got it."
The next day at noon.
Wang Xun arrived as promised, carrying a bag of fruit and a black suitcase.
"Little brother, we meet again. You look much more handsome today than yesterday."
Wang Xun smiled slightly upon seeing the formally dressed Qin Nuo.
"I heard from my sister that you were coming today, so I changed in advance."
"By the way, sis, are you planning to introduce Sister Xun to me?"
Qin Yushi secretly pinched Qin Nuo, this little brother of hers, starting again!
Can't he be more subtle with his words?
Wang Xun didn't mind, she tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and smiled, "No problem, I'm still single. Whether you can win me over depends on your skills!"
After some playful banter, Qin Nuo enthusiastically helped Wang Xun bring in her things and curiously asked, "Sister Xun, what's in this black suitcase?"
"It's work stuff, not safe to leave in the car, so I brought it up," Wang Xun said nonchalantly.
"Can I open it and take a look?" Qin Nuo seemed very interested and asked.
"Brat, can't you give your sister a break!" Qin Yushi gave Qin Nuo a hard knock on the head.
"Yushi, didn't you have something to show me? Let's go to your room," Wang Xun suddenly said.
Qin Yushi realized and turned to glare at Qin Nuo, "Brat, sit here quietly, okay?"
With that, the two women went into the room and locked the door.
Qin Nuo, on the other hand, focused his gaze on the black suitcase on the table.
"Little Xun, is it okay to leave the suitcase outside?" Qin Yushi asked, knowing Qin Nuo's habit of fiddling with things, she was worried he might break something important.
"No worries, the suitcase has a combination lock, it's very secure," Wang Xun wasn't concerned.
"Little Xun, are you really going to take my place? I feel bad, after all, it's my problem, and you're bearing it for me!"
"We've been sisters for so many years, you've helped me so much, there's nothing to feel bad about."
"You've never participated in a Horror Game, if something happens to you, I'd feel even worse."
"I have four experiences of entering, I'm much more familiar with the rules of the Horror Game than you are, don't worry," Wang Xun said.
"But I've heard it's very dangerous..."
"Dangerous, yes, but don't forget the protection mechanism. As long as you follow it, even if the task fails, I can come back."
"Don't think too much, when I come back, you owe me a meal!"
In the room, Wang Xun comforted Qin Yushi.
Outside the room, Qin Nuo had already taken the black suitcase into his room and locked the door.
"Is there a way to open this suitcase?" Qin Nuo stared at the combination lock.
"Are you going to take your sister's place?" the Blood-Eyed Ghost asked, though it had already guessed.
"Wang Xun may have experience, but the variables in the Horror Game are too many."
"Besides, Qin Yushi is my sister, it's not right to let an outsider solve it for her!" Qin Nuo said.
"You've only participated once, don't be too arrogant, the Horror Game is deep," the Blood-Eyed Ghost said calmly.
"Aren't you here with me?" Qin Nuo smiled.
"Hurry up, my sister and Wang Xun will be out soon."
Just as Qin Nuo finished speaking, his right hand suddenly lifted, a flash of blood light, and the numbers on the combination lock started to move automatically.
With a click, the suitcase opened on its own.
Inside the suitcase, there wasn't much, just a device resembling a pocket watch.
"How do you use it?" Qin Nuo picked up the replacement device.
"There should be your sister's information on it, delete it, then input your information, confirm, and press the red button to enter the game," the Blood-Eyed Ghost explained.
"How do you know so much?"
The Blood-Eyed Ghost said, "There was a guy who used to play on behalf of others, got trapped in a room forever, he had this device, I was bored and figured it out."
Following the Blood-Eyed Ghost's instructions, Qin Nuo indeed found Qin Yushi's information on it, deleted it, and then input his own information.
After confirming, his gaze focused on the red button at the top!
Qin Nuo licked his dry lips.
Taking a deep breath, he decisively pressed it.
Immediately, a white light appeared out of nowhere, enveloping Qin Nuo.
In the next instant, he disappeared from the room...
At that moment.
Wang Xun and Qin Yushi came out of the room, seeing the black suitcase missing from the table, along with Qin Nuo.
"That guy, didn't I tell him not to touch the suitcase?" Qin Yushi gritted her teeth in anger.
Saying this, she angrily rushed towards Qin Nuo's room.
"Relax, it has a combination lock, he can't pry it open!" Wang Xun wasn't worried.
After knocking on the door a few times, there was no response from inside.
Qin Yushi angrily turned to get the spare key from the living room.
The moment she opened the door, Qin Yushi's little volcano was about to erupt, but she found the room empty.
"Not here?"
Wang Xun was the first to notice the opened black suitcase on the desk, her face froze for a few seconds, then she quickly stepped forward.
"How did he open the suitcase?!" Wang Xun exclaimed, her eyes wide with surprise.
Qin Yushi was also bewildered, even checking under the bed to find Qin Nuo.
Wang Xun looked at the missing replacement device and suddenly asked, "Yushi, did you tell Qin Nuo about your situation?"
"No, I never mentioned a word of it to him," Qin Yushi said.
Then, she thought of something, her pupils contracted, and she covered her mouth.
"Are you saying..."
Wang Xun nodded, "He went in place of you into the Horror Game..."
At the same time.
The scene before Qin Nuo's eyes shifted rapidly like a slideshow, and after a few seconds, a blinding white light appeared before him.
In his ears, that familiar voice sounded again.
"Welcome to the Horror Game!"
