Supernatural Game Begins

Seeing the pop-up window that suddenly appeared in front of her, Feng Xue's lips twitched slightly. Although she already had some understanding of the situation in this world, it was still somewhat unexpected that such a thing would pop up for her so suddenly.

"I thought it would be a more retro mode, but it just popped up out of nowhere. What can I do? Of course I have to choose yes. Otherwise, how can an ordinary person like me deal with the Ouija board spirit!"

Feng Xue muttered to himself, but immediately chose yes. As a result, the officials who had already entered the coercive procedure to control Feng Xue and prevent him from harming himself suddenly discovered that Feng Xue, who had been practicing calligraphy on the wall, had suddenly disappeared.

"Quick, report to the captain! The target has changed to a player! Hmm, it could also be transferred by a spirit or simply eliminated..."

Feng Xue was unaware of the chaos within the Public Security Bureau; he only felt his body twist, followed by a rather mechanical voice in his ear—

"Congratulations on entering the Supernatural Game, but to prove you are qualified to join, we have prepared a small test for you."

As soon as the voice faded, Feng Xue's vision returned. However, at this moment, he was already sitting at a round table. There were nine seats around the table, and six people, including Feng Xue, were already seated, leaving three empty seats.

Everyone's complexion seemed to be quite bad; some were pale, some were bluish-purple, and one was even red as if he had been scalded by boiling water. Based on the previous pop-up window, Feng Xue could easily deduce that these people were all possessed by a spirit.

However, Feng Xue soon discovered an exception. It wasn't because he didn't look sinister enough, but because the person behind him was different from the others.

Behind each seat is a door. Although they are all wooden doors with slight differences in construction, the one behind this person is a security door.

Just as Feng Xue was in a daze, people began to fill the remaining three seats. Seeing that the seats were full, the man behind the security door clapped his hands to draw everyone's attention, and then spoke:

"Welcome to the Supernatural Game! I'm the host, and you can call me KP. This is your first game, and the difficulty level for this beginner's test is very simple—Survival."

"Put the game aside for now, I'm being haunted by a ghost and I'm about to die. Could you please help me get rid of it?"

Suddenly, a man with a livid face interrupted KP with a pained expression. Upon hearing this, KP revealed an innocent smile and said:

"Don't worry about that. During the pre-game commentary, your 'partners' will be calm and won't cause you any harm. Of course, once the game starts, that's a different story."

As he spoke, the smile on his face grew increasingly exaggerated, to a chilling degree. But just as that smile seemed poised to open its bloodthirsty maw and devour someone's head, it suddenly returned to its harmless state, and he said softly:

"Now, let's continue with our previous topic. Your goal in this game is to survive here for three days. Behind each chair is a door, and behind that door is your room for the next three days. There is plenty of water and food, as well as various recreational facilities. In terms of supplies, it's enough for an adult to survive for more than a month."

At this point, he glanced around and noticed that even the man who had interrupted him earlier wasn't speaking again. A look of disappointment crossed his face, and he could only continue explaining:

"Regarding your partners, there are ways to deal with them in these rooms, but unfortunately, those methods are for dealing with other people's partners. So, if you want to survive safely, you either need to work together to suppress everyone's partners, or you need to help your partner move to another room. Well, that's all I have to say. Have fun, everyone."

As he spoke, the man stood up gracefully, took perfectly spaced steps, walked to the security door, turned around and bowed to the eight people at the round table, and then left only the crisp sound of the Room Door closing.

The brief silence lasted for about three or four seconds, after which a woman who looked to be in her thirties, with a rope around her neck, stood up and strode into the room behind her.

The others didn't react as strongly as she did, but they also stood up from their seats one by one.

Feng Xue could clearly see that three people looked somewhat bewildered, as if they wanted to talk to someone or ask questions but didn't know how to start. However, he didn't stay and instead walked towards his own door with great interest.

The door had no key, but it seemed to have some kind of recognition function, opening automatically as soon as it detected Feng Xue approaching.

He walked into the room, looking at the not-too-large but well-equipped bachelor apartment, his expression somewhat amused.

"Interesting. I thought it was another Infinite City, but it turns out to be a black sphere."

He muttered something incomprehensible to himself and began searching the room. Just as the host had said, the facilities here were very complete. There were not only various ready-to-eat meals, but also a variety of fresh ingredients in the refrigerator. The kitchen was fully equipped with all kinds of cooking utensils, and there was also an entertainment room and a gym. If there was any drawback, it was that there was no computer.

As for the "method to deal with the partner" mentioned by the host, Feng Xue also found it, but it's not a technique to eliminate ghosts, but rather a method to free the ghost from its possession.

And...

"Is mine a Drowned Ghost?" Looking at the ritual written in beautiful handwriting in his hand, Feng Xue realized that almost all the materials could be found in this house, which made him doubt the true nature of this game.

Perhaps because he had read too many supernatural mystery novels in his past life, when faced with this situation, his first thought was not to follow the host's suggested solution, but rather to consider whether there might be any hidden traps or passing criteria.

"First of all, the host doesn't refer to the spirits as spirits or ghosts, but rather as 'partners.' Does this imply that the game must be completed by a human and a ghost working together?"

Thinking of this, Feng Xue recalled the entry requirements for this game, which seemed to require possessing a "spirit body" and a "Possession Item." In other words, the spirit body in this "game" was probably not just a simple danger, but also a necessary element.

So, what does Possession Item mean?

Feng Xue reached out and took out an expensive fountain pen. Even after rough writing, this Phantom Pen showed no signs of wear, and even the cap, which should have been thrown away, had returned to its original position.

However, he could clearly feel that the moment he pulled off the pen cap, a peculiar feeling stirred up again.
