"'It' is looking for players!"
"Or rather, the ones who truly want to be eaten are the players?"
Ji Yan pretended to be unconscious, but his heart sank slightly as he caught a glimpse of the Eerie Shadow approaching him from the corner of his eye...
Without a Tool Bar, Eerie Weapons, or Contract Eeries, how was he supposed to fight back?
If he did not resist, he would be eaten alive. This was the Real World—if he was eaten here, would he truly die, or fall into an Abandoned Dungeon?
Ji Yan's mind raced.
