Changing Fate

Today is the day Xiao Jing and his wife set off to enter the game.

There's no Login Device yet; they have to travel by car to the Black Fog area before they can log into the game.

Xiao Fan originally wanted to sneak into the game, but he checked online yesterday and found that there were guards at the entrance to the Black Fog.

The main purpose is to count the number of people entering the game, but children like Xiao Fan, who are eight or nine years old, will definitely be stopped.

Of course, he could also enter from the unguarded area of Black Fog.

However, the area he enters is random. If he accidentally enters Level 90 Zone, even if he is a genius, he will perish.

Last night, Xiao Fan created several skills for Xiao Jing and Yu Nianzhu. If nothing unexpected happens, they will definitely reach the Earth Rank.

Although the two were shocked, they didn't seem to take it to heart.

Xiao Fan knew that his current identity was hardly convincing, but this was all he could do.

If Xiao Jing and his wife don't believe it, then that's their fate.

Xiao Fan clearly realized that this was just a secret realm storyline, and he had not gone back to the past to make up for regrets.

The family of three had just stepped out when Aunt Liu's door across the street opened.

Aunt Liu and Liu Xiujuan was carrying a backpack, came out from inside.

"Aunt Liu, where is Xiujuan going?" Yu Nianzhu asked, looking at the backpack on Liu Xiujuan's back.

Aunt Liu said apologetically.

"Xiao Jing, Nianzhu, Auntie has a favor to ask you. Xiujuan also wants to join the game. Don't you have a team? Could you take her along?" Aunt Liu said somewhat shyly.

Last night, Xiao Jing wife told her that they would be entering the game today and asked her to take care of Xiao Fan.

As soon as the two left, her distant niece Liu Xiujuan said she also wanted to join the game and asked her to help her talk to someone today to see if they could form a team.

Xiao Jing hesitated.

If it were just the two of them, he could bring Liu Xiujuan along. But since they're currently teamed up with Xiao Yi —or rather, with someone else—he can't make that decision.

Seeing Xiao Jing's hesitation, Liu Xiujuan said, "Brother Xiao Jing, you can just take me there. If your team doesn't accept me, I'll leave on my own."

Xiao Jing thought about it and figured it wouldn't matter if he only brought one person along, so he nodded in agreement.

"Aunt Liu, after we enter the game, could you please take care of Xiao Fan a little?" Yu Nianzhu stroked Xiao Fan's hair, her face showing reluctance.

"Don't worry, I've watched Xiao Fan grow up. He's smart and sensible. I'll take care of him like my own grandson."

After exchanging a few more humble words, Xiao Jing and his wife, along with Liu Xiujuan, bid farewell to Aunt Liu and went to meet up with Xiao Yi.

When Xiao Yi saw Xiao Jing wife arrive with Liu Xiujuan, he couldn't hide the surprise on his face.

This is too much of a coincidence.

At this point, Xiao Yi was completely certain that Xiao Fan's method for leaving the secret realm was correct.

Because they were all Mercury players, Liu Xiujuan chose the same path as them.

Xiao Yi didn't say much and directly accepted Liu Xiujuan's joining the team.

Seeing this, Mr. and Mrs. Xiao Jing finally breathed a sigh of relief. Xiao Yi's acceptance of Liu Xiujuan meant that he had not failed Aunt Liu's trust.

After successfully forming a team, the group headed towards the station.

Xiao Fan watched the car drive away and sighed deeply.

He hasn't received any notification about the secret realm quest yet.

"Do I have to enter the game to escape this secret realm?"

Xiao Fan felt somewhat uncertain.

He felt that his identity in this secret realm was different from that of Xiao Yi and the others.

He's more like an NPC character, guiding the fates of those connected to him in this secret realm.

"If I enter the Game Association also lose my current memories?"

Xiao Fan quickly shook his head.

That won't do. He's currently ranked number one on the Combat Power Leaderboard; his fate doesn't need to be changed!

The atmosphere was heavy on Jian Qingfeng's side.

The thought that Xiao Fan and his group had suddenly disappeared while they were eating sent chills down everyone's spines.

What a terrifying thing! They just disappeared while I was eating.

"Aren't you overthinking this?" Yu Tianqing asked, frowning.

"Maybe they were eating when the patrolmen outside spotted something urgent in the distance, or maybe they found someone who had gone missing before. These rescuers, without even having time to eat, went out to rescue them, and then something else happened, which is why they lost contact with them."

Yu Tianqing Jian Qingfeng could even speak, the other players had already voiced their rebuttals to Yu Tianqing's words.

"Impossible! The blizzard must have been extremely severe for Luo Yi and his people to choose to build houses for shelter; otherwise, they would have camped out to rest."

"Given the extreme weather, there couldn't possibly be any patrol personnel outside. Moreover, visibility is limited in blizzard conditions, so they couldn't possibly see what's happening in the distance."

Upon Yu Tianqing realized that what others said seemed to make sense, and that her own idea was somewhat ill-considered.

So...

Did these people really just disappear while they were eating?

That's terrifying!

Before coming, she thought it was just a simple rescue mission, but now it seems it's not so simple after all.

Disappearing while eating? That's unheard of!

Yu Tianqing suddenly felt the temperature in the whole house drop a few degrees.

With this speculation, everyone felt that the house had become strangely eerie.

"Captain, why don't we go outside? It's really cold here," one player couldn't help but say.

Jian Qingfeng hesitated. Since Xiao Fan and the others disappeared in this house, they should have searched it thoroughly.

However, seeing everyone's frightened expressions, Jian Qingfeng couldn't very well refuse.

The main reason is that what happened here was too bizarre.

If he rashly searches, he might get caught up in it himself.

It would be better to tell Zhou He about the situation here, so they can analyze it carefully and then devise a rescue plan.

Thinking of this, Jian Qingfeng wanted to send a message to Zhou He, but he suddenly found that the game interface could not be opened.

Jian Qingfeng's expression instantly darkened.

There was indeed something wrong with this house.

Seeing that it was still light outside, Jian Qingfeng decided to go down the mountain first to see if he could restore the game interface.

Just as he was about to call for people to evacuate, a noise suddenly came from upstairs.

Instantly, everyone's hair stood on end.

"We checked very carefully just now, there's absolutely no one upstairs."

The player who just went upstairs to check said, trembling.

He wouldn't be this scared under normal circumstances.

But having already guessed, a noise suddenly came from upstairs, which had been checked and found to be empty.

Even advanced players are scared, okay?

Jian Qingfeng made a decisive decision.

"Let's go down the mountain!"

Instead of rescuing them, he ended up trapping another group of people. But just as he turned away...

But then a long-awaited system notification appeared before them.

"Enter the Dungeon <Ghost Domain>?"
