When Qin Nuo returned home, his sister was already back.

  Wang Xun was there too.

  "You brat, didn't I tell you not to wander around?"

  Qin Yushi grabbed Qin Nuo's ear and gred at him.

  "I'm not a kid," Qin Nuo said, brushing off her hand, feeling a bit speechless.

  He thought to himself that his sister was overreag; he's an adult, not someone who could just be abducted.

  "Newers forcibly sent into the hame often develop severe psychological issues, sometimes without even realizing it themselves."

  "The fusioween the real world and the horror world lead to chaotic thoughts. In Jinzhou, more than ten people have itted suicide by jumping off buildings after participating in the hame."

  "Moreover, you've participated in the hame twi a row."

  "Your sister is worried you might not be able to ha. You're still in the observation period, uand?" Wang Xun, sitting in the living room, put doweacup and said.

  For the past two hours, Qin Yushi had been calling non-stop, nearly driving herself crazy with worry.

  Qin Nuo suddenly uood and briefly expined how someone g to be a police officer had taken him away.

  Qin Yushi looked at Wang Xun in fusion, and the tter nodded, "Yes, that's ihe case."

  "Newers who have pleted the hame not only need psychological seling but also o uand the horror curse and prepare in advance."

  "Sister Xun, do you know someone named Ye Ming?" Qin Nuo asked, thinking of something.

  Hearing the name, Wang Xun frowned slightly, seemingly unimpressed by the person. "I know him."

  "He's also a police officer, but he's shady, often mingling with those private gaming anizations."

  Then, Wang Xun thought of something and warned, "This person is not simple. It's best if you don't get involved with him."

  Qin Nuo houghtfully and then smiled, "Sister Xun, you didn't just e here to tell me this, did you?"

  He could tell that Wang Xun was here for him, not his sister.

  Otherwise, she wouldn't have been sitting on the sofa drinking tea all this time.

  Wang Xun took out a devid pced it oable.

  The device resembled a pocket watch but had a fingerprint panel on it.

  "This is called a login device. From the name, you guess what it is. It's the only medium that allows travel between the hame and the real world. In the news, those pyers who enter insta will do sh this. Once your fingerprint is recorded, the proteeism activates, sending the pyer into the game."

  Qin Nuo was taken aback, "You want to give this to me?"

  "You reckless boy, to be ho, I don't want to give it to you."

  "But it's a national regution. Those forcibly sent into the hame must have one."

  "The horror curse presents many uainties, and the try 't look after everyone. So, the login device is your safeguard. At least uhe proteeism, entering an instance greatly reduces the mortality rate," Wang Xun expined.

  "That's quite humane," Qin Nuo said with a smile as he took it in his hand.

  Seeing his nont demeanor, Wang Xun was a bit displeased. "You don't seem to uand. This isn't a toy; it's for survival."

  "Don't think you be like those online pyers, entering insta will to earn rewards and profit."

  "That's a foolish idea, especially for a newer like you!"

  Qin Nuo smiled slightly, "Don't worry."

  "After participating in two hames, my ce is nearly gone. If it weren't for a pro carrying me, I'd be done for."

  "Unless I lose my mind, why would I willingly enter such a terrifying game?"

  Blood-Eyed Ghost: "o insult yourself like that."

  Wang Xun agreed.

  After all, the sed time, Qin ered to save his sister out ency.

  Without special reasons, no one would want to touch this thing.

  Those professional pyers are specially trained, with stros and rich experien instances, making it their livelihood.

  In Wang Xun's eyes, Qin Nuo was far from reag that level.

  "Little Xun, don't worry. I know my brother best; he won't act recklessly," Qin Yushi added.

  Wang Xun nodded, picked up her bag, and stood up, "If there's nothing else, I'll head back. There's still some work at the bureau."

  After Wang Xu, Qin Yushi extended her hand to Qin Nuo, "Give it to me."

  Qin Nuo was embarrassed, "Sis, you still don't trust me?"

  "I'm going back to school in a couple of days. It's because I know you too well that I'm worried."

  Qin Nuo said, "What if I someday?"

  Qin Yushi thought for a moment and said, "I'll hide it somewhere in the house. If you , call me, and I'll tell you where it is."

  Qin Nuo sighed, "Alright, here you go."

  Qin Nuo handed over the login device with his right hand befiving it to Qin Yushi.

  Qin Yushi took it and smiled slightly, "I'm doing this for your own good."

  "Get ready to go grocery shopping with me. Pick whatever you want to eat. Once I go back to school, who knows when I'll see my good brain!" Qin Yushi said, patting Qin Nuo's head with a smile.

  The day, Qin Yushi dragged her suitcase back to school, with Qin Nuo apanyio the roadside.

  "Make sure to eat well and don't stay up te!"

  Qin Yushi waved to Qin Nuo befetting into a taxi.

  As Qin Nuo disappeared at the end of the road, Qin Yushi sat ba her seat, her smile fading, and took out her phoo dial a number.

  "Hello, it's me."

  "His symptoms are getting worse. The ent memories of his parents have deeply rooted in his mind, and you must find a way..."

  ...

  At that moment, Qin Nuo returned home.

  Throwing his coat aside, Qin Nuo asked the Blood-Eyed Ghost, "Where did my sister hide it?"

  The reason he ha over with his right hand was to let the Blood-Eyed Ghost's ghost aura stick to it, so no matter where it was hidden, the Blood-Eyed Ghost could find it.

  "In her room."

  Soon, Qin Nuo found the login device hidden in a secret partment uhe floorboard of Qin Yushi's bedside table.

  "This is too much."

  "Even thieves wouldn't go this far!" Qin Nuo thought, exasperated.

  Pg the login devi the table, Qin Nuo began to prepare.

  This time entering the game, pleting the instance was sedary.

  The main goal was to visit the her Springs Restaurant and upgrade his pyer level to 3.

  Unlock the position of [Deputy Manager]!

  Qin Nuo couldn't bear to leave the horror world's business unattended.

  After all, he had worked hard to build it, and it would be a shame to let it go to waste.

  Moreover, Qin Nuo believed that these businesses in the horror world would greatly aid him in future instances.

  "I wonder what this instance will be like?"

  "With a pyer level of 2, it shouldn't be too difficult. Hopefully, it won't have a frustrating game meism like the 'Escape Mode' st time."

  Qin Nuo murmured to himself.

  Without further ado, he pressed his thumb onto the login device.

  The panel lit up, as if activated, with various pos whirring and a blue light shimmering.

  "Fingerprint rec in progress..."

  "Fingerprint recorded successfully, pyer preparing to log in..."

  As the words fell, Qin Nuo instantly vanished from the room.

  After Qin Nuo disappeared, the phone in the living room suddenly rang. It was Tang Ming calling, and it rang for a long time, seemingly with something urgent...

  At the same time.

  In a studio somewhere in Jinzhou City.

  Everyone suddenly became excited, running around in a flurry.

  A man shouted loudly, "Attention everyone! We've detected a pyer phantom logging into the game!"

  "Everyone, log in at the same time as him, ehe instance, and if aches into the same instance as him, follow the pn!"

  "Did you hear me?"

  "Yes!!"

  The prepared pyers responded in unison, then pressed their thumbs onto their login devices to record their fingerprints.

  In an instant, over fifty people in the room vanished, leaving only a few...
