"Welcome to the Purgatory Game."

"Start dungeon matching for Contractor Ling Chen."

"It is detected that the contractor enters the dungeon world for the first time, and the dungeon will not join other contractors."

"...Creating a copy..."

"...Loading copy..."

"Loading the copy is completed, the number of contractors is one."

"The copy will be officially opened in one minute."

"...sixty, fifty-nine, fifty-eight..."

A series of sounds rang in Ling Chen's ears.

The voice sounded very strange, both male and female, as if a man and a woman were talking at the same time, making the voices blend together.

As these words rang out, a coldness suddenly emerged, like walking into an ice cellar!

The hair on Ling Chen's whole body stood on end and he was trembling suddenly.

Fortunately, this coldness came and went away even faster.

Within a few seconds, he felt back to normal.

Ling Chen suddenly opened his eyes, and what came into view was a somewhat shabby apartment room.

But he was now calm and sitting at the desk in the corner of the room.

The desk in front of me is a common wooden desk with three drawers on the right hand side.

The table top is covered with dense scratches, obviously it has been used for a long time and has been used for a certain period of time.

Looking around, I found that the only curtain in the room was tightly closed, and the only light source was the lamp on the desk.

The light of the desk lamp seems to have been specially adjusted, emitting light that is not dazzling, and can even be said to be a bit dim...

The dim light source, combined with the old room, gives people a strong feeling of heart palpitations!

Ling Chen stretched out his hand and touched it forward.

Immediately on the fingertips, the uneven and rough feeling of the table surface was felt. Moreover, every scratch on it could be distinguished.

Facing the scene in front of him, Ling Chen looked very dull...

To be honest, you can't blame him for having such a reaction, because less than ten minutes ago, he was actually in the workplace.

However, as soon as he closed his eyes and opened them, his environment suddenly changed!

No one else could have remained calm...

He remembered that he was checking his cell phone at that time.

On the screen of the mobile phone was an anonymous email, all of which introduced a "Purgatory Game".

This seems to be a game where characters travel to different instances and complete different tasks.

The lengthy introduction and the content mentioned are indeed quite novel.

Ling Chen didn't like playing games very much. After reading the email, his first reaction was to delete the email...

However, something strange in the process made him resist the urge to delete the email.

In fact... this mobile phone does not belong to Ling Chen. Not only is it not his, it was also found on a corpse.

Of course, the reason why Ling Chen came into contact with the corpse was not because he committed a crime and killed someone, nor was it because he accidentally entered the murder scene...

But because of his profession, he is a funeral makeup artist.

It was late at night, and Ling Chen had just finished his work. In the huge room, he was the only one left with a body.

When he packed his things as usual and prepared to go home from get off work...

Strange things happened without warning!

Ling Chen actually heard the ringtone of his cell phone.

You know, out of respect for the deceased, he never brought his mobile phone with him when working.

Not only him, but other colleagues also have the same habit.

The appearance of the ringtone naturally surprised him.

And the weirdest thing was that when Ling Chen looked at the source of the ringtone, he found that the body's hand was actually holding a mobile phone!

Ling Chen started putting makeup on the body six hours ago. He was very sure that the mobile phone did not exist at that time...

During the makeup process, the body was completely naked, and there was no extra space to hide a mobile phone.

The strange appearance of the mobile phone aroused Ling Chen's curiosity.

He didn't think much at that time, he took the phone from the body's hand, lightly tapped the screen, and an email popped up.

As mentioned just now, the content of the email is a description of the "Purgatory Game".

But having said that, it's no wonder that Ling Chen was too calm. Not only did he not run away in fear, he even took the initiative to pick up his phone.

You know, he has to deal with dead people every day. If his mental endurance is any worse, he won't be able to stay in this business for too long.

In fact, there are no restrictions on age, gender, or experience in the funeral makeup industry, and anyone can apply.

But if you want to truly enter the industry, you have to accept a "test"...

You have to stay alone in the morgue for three nights. You are not allowed to use computers or mobile phones to kill time during the trip, and you are not allowed to leave midway.

There will be no restrictions on going out to the bathroom or eating, but except for these times, you must stay in the morgue.

You know, in order to store corpses, the temperature in the morgue is deliberately set to be extremely low, only between 2 and 4 degrees Celsius.

Such an environment alone is not suitable for ordinary people to stay for too long. Even if they wear thick clothes, they will still shiver from the cold.

Not to mention, for the whole three nights, it was just me and a corpse staying in the morgue.

Only by enduring the horrific experience of these three days can one meet the basic recruitment conditions and become an apprentice, working together with the master.

In the beginning, apprentices could only do odd jobs, working alongside the master.

After two or three years of this, I was able to take on the important task of putting makeup on the corpse by myself.

Ling Chen's current qualifications can barely be regarded as senior, so naturally he often spends time alone with corpses...

In addition, when working in this industry, it is inevitable that you will hear many horror stories, and your psychology has been trained to be extremely tough and very courageous.

Therefore, in fact, the appearance of mobile phones not only did not scare Ling Chen, but actually aroused his curiosity.

“In the unknown corners of the world, there are countless things that cannot be explained by science.

Do you plan to continue to play an ignorant role in the rest of your life and live a mediocre life?

Or should you choose to open this door to a new world with your own hands?

Purgatory Game is a mysterious game beyond imagination. As long as you complete multiple main missions and clear the game, you can make a request and fulfill a wish.

Even if it is a fantasy like resurrecting the dead, the purgatory game can be realized for those who clear the level!

I would like to ask, deep in your heart, are there any unknown wishes?

The Purgatory Game can... give you everything you dare not think of on a daily basis. The only question is whether you have the determination to fight against all odds and overcome all difficulties!

Even if...

The price is your life!

Choose!

ＹＥＳＯＮＯ…”

After reading the last paragraph, Ling Chen couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

Judging from the content alone, this looks like a scam, at best a relatively novel scam.

Ling Chen absolutely does not believe that one game alone can realize his wish. This is undoubtedly a fantasy.

But we can't ignore that the mobile phone appears very strangely, showing that all this does not seem to be so simple...

At this time, Ling Chen thought of the countless supernatural stories that his colleagues had mentioned while chatting.

In most stories, the protagonist's experiences are similar, and they all tell him a truth...

If you don't seek death, you won't die. Sometimes, don't be mean and do something you shouldn't do.

Ling Chen also knew that the best thing to do at the moment was to throw away the phone immediately and return to his normal daily life of commuting to get off work.

However, the word "Yes" in the last line is like a black hole, exuding a strong attraction!

This aroused the passion in Ling Chen's heart and made his mind confused...

It seems that there is nothing wrong with just putting down the phone and returning to daily life, right?

I don’t want to be a gangster anymore just so that I don’t get caught and imprisoned for doing wrong things like those friends...

Isn't it just to... get a stable life?
To be continued...
