"Have you read the news? The army is going to lay off 500,000 employees!"
"I knew the news yesterday... It is said that this disarmament is just the beginning!"
"Strange! Wasn't 200,000 disarmed at the end of last year? I don't know how the country considers it
"How can I think about it? For world peace..."
"..."
In the lobby of the inpatient department of China’s most authoritative Yanjing Neurology Hospital, two uncle-level patients who are concerned about facts are chatting enthusiastically, and not far from them, there is a pale face and a figure standing. The tall and thin young man saw that he was holding a medical diagnosis notice in his hand, and his expression was relieved.
…
Three months ago, Weizard, who had just passed his 26th birthday, suffered an accidental car accident. Although he didn't suffer any major physical damage, he was lucky enough to survive, but he couldn't sleep anymore!
Unlike those suffering from insomnia, after Weizard lost the biological instinct of "sleep", he did not suffer from mental restlessness, exhaustion and many other unhealthy conditions, and everything was just like a normal person.
After repeated examinations in many hospitals, Weizard, who was still unable to get a diagnosis of his condition, gave up the treatment after careful consideration and resigned to live a life of "no sleep".
This kind of life continued until three days ago, when Weizard had dark brown nosebleeds, and his brain began to sting intermittently.
An unpredictable Weizard faintly emerged in his heart, taking the last savings left by his deceased parents, and heading to the capital to see a doctor.
This time, the Yanjing Neurology Hospital finally diagnosed Weizard's illness correctly: the cerebral cortex is extremely active, far exceeding normal values! It is expected that in one month, brain cells will be under the action of this abnormally active state, causing comprehensive and permanent loss of function... which is commonly known as brain death!
"Life and death are not added by humans... Since God's will, I should try my best to take the last part of my life!"
The vague premonition became reality, but this result did not defeat Weizard, but made his mood extremely calm.
After folding the medical diagnosis notice and putting it in his pocket, Weizard took out his mobile phone and checked the time: 11:46.
At this moment, a few lines of weird writing suddenly popped up on the phone screen:
"Tired?"
"Then take a break..."
"are you sleepy?"
"Then go to sleep..."
"..."
"Welcome, the gamer about to enter the Nightmare Paradise!"
When Weizard finished reading this text, the phone screen flickered slightly and returned to normal.
"... It may be a spam message..."
While thinking about it, the dismissive Weizard put the phone back in his trouser pocket... However, what happened next was beyond his expectation: a mechanical, emotionless electronic sound actually sounded directly in his mind.
[Game player: Weizard, confirm! 】
[Detection of player number 20201083, this is the first time to enter Nightmare Paradise, trial mode is being opened...]
[Players please note that the novice tutorial in trial mode can only be completed once, and the game scene is randomly generated. After the game is over, the survivor will receive the corresponding initial reward. 】
[Hint: Live! 】
[The countdown starts, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. 】
[The countdown is over and the nightmare game officially begins! 】
The next second after the end of the voice that appeared in his mind, Weizard's vision suddenly went black and he lost his normal senses.
…
[The trial mode is loaded. 】
[The game scene is loaded. 】
[As a novice tutorial, this trial mode will provide a brief introduction to the mission script and related instructions, and there is a certain chance that hidden missions will appear. 】
[Please pay attention to the player number 20201083, the introduction of the task script will be played soon. 】
Weizard, who was plunged into darkness and caught in a strange environment, did not feel astonished and at a loss like normal ordinary people, but looked at the cutscene CG in an extremely sensible state.
[Perhaps the vast sea is not as wide as imagined, and the ant-like ship in its embrace will also be like a car on the land, with inevitable collisions...]
[Once it happens, the "tragedy" will seize the opportunity fiercely and begin its cruel and cruel killing! 】
With the mechanical commentary, the holographic cutscene quickly flashed in front of Weizard's eyes.
[Princess Lalgne, a large iron passenger ship, has just been refurbished, pulling more than 1,500 passengers, slowly leaving the pier, and embarking on a journey of death. 】
[After nightfall, the boat is brightly lit. Ballrooms, restaurants, and bars were crowded with passengers... Captain Kendall, skilled and generous, stuck to the bridge with the pilot, watching the front closely. 】
[It's foggy at one o'clock in the morning...]
From the "God's perspective", the huge passenger ship Princess Lalgne, the very stylishly dressed passengers, the old captain with a beard and the milky mist all appeared in Weizard's eyes one by one.
[Novice Tip: Players who participate in Nightmare Paradise can open the game menu at will. (Note: The game menu will only appear in the players' own vision, and will not be affected by the external environment, nor will it affect the external environment.)]
Without any sound, this prompt popped up directly in front of Weizard's eyes in the form of text.
At the same time, an unreal game interface emerged out of thin air:

[Novice guidance ends. 】
…
[You open your eyes and find that you are sitting in a narrow bar... At this moment, the strangers next to you are players who are just like you in the newcomer trial scene. 】
When the last words reached Weizard's ears, his eyes lit up, and his normal senses were restored again.
Taking a quick glance at the surrounding environment, Weizard found that he was indeed sitting in a semi-open bar private room. Not surprisingly, there were four other strange "foreign men and women" beside him.
Calmly picked up a glass of red wine on the table in front of him, Weizard shook it a few times, then leaned it under his nose and sniffed it carefully.
Just as Weizard was about to taste the red wine, a sharp female voice rang in his ears: "Fuck me! How come I have become a woman..."
