Reality world, Yin City Wanhe Residential Area, Building Three, Residential Living Room.

"Not in a good mood?"

Wearing Li Ang's appearance, Chaichai frowned and subconsciously squeezed her phone lightly, "What's going on?"

"..."

On the other end of the call, there was silence.

Chaichai's brow furrowed tightly, and she asked, "Where are you now?"

After a moment, Wang Congshan's voice came from the phone, "Home."

Wang Congshan's home is in the Special Affairs Bureau's residential compound, with a security level comparable to the Bureau's base, extremely safe.

Chaichai felt slightly reassured, glanced at the spot where Li Ang had previously stood, and continued to ask, "What about your parents and cousin?"

"They're all at work."

Wang Congshan said softly, "Are you busy right now?"

"No."

Chaichai paused and then honestly said, "I was just playing a game."

She estimated that with Li Ang's personality, Wang Congshan certainly would have immediate assistance for any issues, making it impossible to fabricate a reasonable excuse right now.

Wang Congshan's voice took a deep breath, "Can you come to see me? Or I can find you. Let's meet up. I'm really... troubled right now."

"What exactly happened?"

Chaichai said in a serious tone, "You can tell me anything, I can solve it."

A long silence fell over the phone line, and after a long pause, Wang Congshan's voice softened, "... Just now, a voice suddenly echoed in my mind.

It told me I've been selected as a player."

Crunch.

The metal phone casing was instinctively crushed a bit by Miss Chai, the tempered glass screen shattered into a cobweb-like pattern, fragments sliding between her fingers,

The dark screen lit up again, revealing the call page with Wang Congshan.

Miss Chai's voice dropped, devoid of any excitement, "Calm down first, stay in your room, don't move, I'll come find you right away. Have you informed your parents about this?"

"Not yet,"

Wang Congshan's voice sounded weak and confused, "I'm afraid to tell them."

"Okay, do you still remember what the voice said exactly? Repeat it word-for-word for me."

Chaichai gave the Brain Worm a look, which quickly understood and silently entered the study room, preparing equipment and the Qinge Armor for Chaichai,

while also using the spiritual energy network to issue commands to other Brain Worms, coordinating with the hive units.

On the other end, Wang Congshan took a deep breath and recounted it once.

It was the same as what Li Ang had heard before, Wang Congshan's player qualification notice,

also included the beginner guide and Killing Field Game introduction phrases, which encourage liberating thoughts and embracing destiny,

The difference was that Wang Congshan was chosen due to her own natural talent by the system, directly granted qualification, and promoted to a player without an aptitude transfer program description.

Chaichai quickly processed this in her mind. She has dozens of accounts to log into forums and read numerous posts,

Though she hasn't eaten pork herself, she has seen pigs run,

Extremely familiar with the beginner's guide program.

What Wang Congshan said was indeed the notification sent during the current stage of the Killing Field Game, for selecting ordinary people to be promoted.

And in the Special Affairs Bureau's residential area, where Wang Congshan is located, there's a psychic protection barrier, preventing any fabricated voice.

"Don't be nervous,"

Chaichai said in a calm, gentle voice, "It's not a bad thing, isn't your cousin also a player?

You are still related to a staff member, Special Affairs Bureau is experienced with the beginner guide program,

new players will be well cared for, not too dangerous."

"I know, but..."

"It's okay,"

Chaichai accepted the Qinge Armor handed by the Brain Worm, holding the phone, "Your home is at Building Sixteen, 805, right? I'm coming to see you, I'll be there in half an hour."

"Um... also,"

Wang Congshan hesitated, "Be careful on the road, don't ride a bike, your bicycle bell is broken."

"Don't worry, I'll take a cab over,"

Chaichai smiled a bit, detached from Li Ang's vessel, and put on the Qinge Armor again, covering it with Li Ang's appearance.

Vessel and appearance are two different things,

The former is equivalent to Li Ang's entire body in ordinary people's state, each component, including the brain, is complete, without soul or thinking ability, but can normally digest food,

while the appearance is merely a layer of skin, worn on the Qinge Armor for disguise,

The disguise level surely isn't as high as perfect duplication of the body,

but it's enough to deal with ordinary people.

With Double Blade Turkey's assistance, Chaichai concealed the biological zipper on the back of the appearance,

The latter, not being able to go out together, had already begun its transformation, returning to the study room, gradually changing into a normal cabinet shape—

In this form, because the brain can sink into nutrient fluid, obtain more nutrition, and the connection to the spiritual energy network will slightly strengthen.

After all preparations, "Li Ang" started walking towards the door, holding the phone with its slightly cracked screen edge, "Don't hang up, I'm heading out now..."

"Don't go out! They've come looking for you!"

From the phone, Wang Congshan's urgent shout came,

The smile froze on "Li Ang's" face, her steps paused, and her pupils instinctively contracted,

The next second, the living room window inexplicably shattered—a paper airplane, from the top floor rooftop of the five buildings opposite, swiftly glided down, smashed through the room window, and landed right before "Li Ang".

On the other side of Yin City, Special Affairs Bureau headquarters.

Wang Congshan slowly lowered the plastic receiver hanging from the ceiling, the receiver bounced slightly in the air, held by a spiraled plastic cord.

This was a closed interrogation room,

The lighting was bright, the floor was spotless, and the furnishings simple, with only one rectangular table, two armless chairs, and a single red plastic receiver hanging from the ceiling.

The table and chairs were all secured to the ground with metal screws,

The table lamp fixed with screws too, to prevent the interrogated person from suddenly acting out and harming themselves or others.

The interrogation room's three walls were lined with soundproof, soft, and moderately protective decorative materials, and the top half of the wall ahead of the chairs had a deep brown one-way glass embedded, 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

Observers behind the one-way glass could monitor the detailed expressions on the interrogated person's face and all their physical movements for judgment.

Here was the Special Affairs Bureau headquarters' interrogation room, usually entering here were suspects involved in supernatural cases, suspected espionage from foreign organizations,

Overall, identities wouldn't be too ordinary.

And now, Wang Congshan was standing in the interrogation room.

Her face paled slightly, delicate hands appeared even paler for she held the phone receiver too forcefully earlier, showing blood vessels beneath the skin.
