Dusk, Harbour.

The sunset hovered at the end of the sea level, and in the golden sunset glow, a few seagulls fluttered their wings. The salty sea breeze blows on people's faces, making people confused by this comfortable picture for a while.

Aren't they waiting in the dugout for dawn? Why did it appear here all of a sudden

Qi Le people looked around, and the surrounding buildings and scenery were obviously not the real world, but the architectural style similar to the industrial revolution era. The boat, just when he looked up, he even saw a huge iron boat full of metal, buzzing and flying over his head, casting a huge shadow.

Full of steampunk style, it's just too familiar... Qi Leren looked at the harbor blankly, and his mind went blank for a while, until Su He stood up.

With his back to the setting sun, he showed a familiar smile to the three of them: "Welcome to the Land of Dusk."

Twilight Land. Qi Leren's heart clenched suddenly, as if someone had punched him there, causing him pain and fear.

"This is one of the two major human shelters in the nightmare world. Because it is shrouded in the sunset all year round, it is called the Land of Dusk." Su He's voice filled the sea breeze and floated softly into everyone's ears.

Dr. Lu stepped back nervously and asked, "Who are you? Why do you know this?"

Su He smiled and met Qi Leren's empty gaze.

—I'll tell you a little secret. This is what Su He said to him a few hours ago.

Now, he knew what the secret was.

"Introduce myself again. My name is Su He, and I am a player involved in this horror game just like you, but I took a step ahead of you." Su He said slowly, "I was a half-day ago. I received an urgent investigation mission to find out the cause of a large number of deaths of players in a novice village in a short period of time. The system thinks that there may be some kind of bug, but after landing in the novice village, I found that it was only caused by human factors of the players. This is not within the jurisdiction of the system, and it is up to you whether you live or die."

Xue Yingying had already listened straight, and looked at Su He stupidly with her mouth half open.

The setting sun seemed to add a bit of tenderness to this mysterious man, making people involuntarily attracted to his words.

"After investigating the cause of the matter, according to the particularity of the urgent investigation task, I can leave the Novice Village at any time, so my original intention at that time was to pretend to fall and die, so as to avoid letting you discover my true identity - as required, I am I can't reveal my identity, and I can't provide you with effective help. However, Qi Leren surprised me." Su He's eyes stayed on Qi Leren's face, which was reddened by the setting sun. His tenderness and smile made him look away, and he heard Su He continue, "I didn't expect that he would risk his life to save me, even if you were just impulsive at that time, I always thank you very much for your This sincerity, so I choose to stay and help you get through the novice village."

"But you still helped us." Xue Yingying murmured.

"The rigidity of the system has to be mentioned here. The help it defines does not include this." Su He said, and nodded his forehead.

Dr. Lu suddenly realized: "No wonder you paddled more than me. That's why you didn't get a skill card..."

"Sorry, I lied to you. Although I don't use skill cards very much, I have them, and there are a lot of them. But if I say yes, then I will inevitably have to use it in front of you, which is against the rules of the system. I'm sorry, I lied to you in this matter." Su He apologized.

"No, no, you don't need to apologize at all. We should thank you. If it weren't for you, we might have died long ago." Xue Yingying waved her hand quickly and said with a look of panic.

"You should hide your identity," Dr. Lu also said. "After all, you also have a task to do. We are grateful for your kindness to help us."

Qi Leren was a little dazed. He suddenly remembered that Su He said that he was a programmer at that time. He still didn't believe it. It turned out that what Su He said was true, and he was really a "programmer".

At this time, he remembered another thing. The three goldfish that troubled him at that time actually had another explanation.

The three goldfish refer to him, Xue Yingying and Dr. Lu, and Su He, he is the "non-existent person".

It turned out to be the case, Qi Le people finally relieved in their hearts, it turned out to be the case.

After talking about everything, the atmosphere returned to a relaxed atmosphere. Dr. Lu stood on the half-meter-high embankment, looking at the surrounding scene, and exclaimed excitedly: "This place looks fantastic, is it the second instance? Hey, no, the system doesn't have any new prompts, it just told me that I passed the first dungeon and was rewarded with 10 days of survival, what is this?"

Dr. Lu, who has never played "Nightmare Game", naturally doesn't know what the so-called Land of Twilight is.

Qi Le people's mood became heavy again. This place shrouded in the setting sun all year round is the only remaining pure land for human beings in the nightmare game. After leaving the land of dusk, the outside world has become a hunting ground for demons. Struggling to survive in distress, but see no hope. In the game, he was in the Twilight Village at the beginning. After taking a few scattered side quests, he finally found the main quest, but it didn't take long for him to play the first death ending. When he was about to read the file, the computer went black. .

Now it seems that the only person who has played the nightmare game is himself, at least Doctor Lu and Xue Yingying seem to know nothing about this place.

"This world is called Nightmare World, and it can't be counted as a dungeon. It should be said that this is the main world. Nightmare world can trigger quests in the main world, and you can also receive dungeon quests that require you to go to other worlds. There are many types and different levels of difficulty. The same... This is a long story. Come on, I will take you to the player settlement in Duskland, which is on the small island in front. If you don't dislike it, I want to invite everyone to a meal. An apology from the past."

As soon as she heard the food, Dr. Lu's eyes lit up, Xue Yingying swallowed her saliva, and her stomach was grumbling.

Naturally, Qi Leren couldn't object, so he had to say, "You are too polite."

The smile on the corner of Su He's mouth was so charming that the two women who were passing by the coastline in a hurry couldn't help but look back at him, and one of the young girls whispered, "Are these newcomers? Why don't we To be a 'tour guide'?"

"No, the airship is about to leave." Another older woman glanced at them, her slender brows showing no emotion, even Su He's outstanding appearance didn't stop her for a second, she seemed to be looking at them The goods weighed their value, and then made a negative judgment.

The little girl looked back at Su He a little unwillingly, smiled friendly at him, but was pulled away by the woman who looked like her sister.

"Guide?" Dr. Lu looked at Su He suspiciously.

"Some players will guest-star as a commentator when they meet a newcomer to introduce the situation here, but generally charge a fee." Su He said.

"Charge? I seem to have some money on me. Can I swipe my card here?" Xue Yingying touched her pocket and looked solemnly at the pictures of Grandpa Mao in her hand. This was the money she had prepared for abortion.

Su He smiled: "The general equivalent here is neither money nor precious metals."

"What is that?" Xue Yingying asked curiously.

Su He took a deep look at her and said lightly, "It's the number of days to live."
