This was an interface much like the one he had seen when he first logged into the Ghost Story Game.

Extremely similar.

Only, the Ghost Story Game had asked him to enter a codename.

What appeared here instead was a blood-red word-proxy.

Having come this far, Qin Manjiang had to see this through.

He forced himself to sit up and wrote "Abyss" after the proxy field.

But... the moment he entered those handwritten characters, they vanished into the darkness of the screen, as though melting into it. Nothing had been entered at all.

Abyss wouldn't work?

Qin Manjiang thought for a moment, then tried entering a random character-fish.

Likewise, the character eerily merged into the screen. He couldn't enter it at all.

Did I have to enter my real name...?

Qin Manjiang stared at the word "proxy." Taken literally, its meaning was entirely different from what a codename represented.

In religion, a proxy generally referred to a god's representative in the human world.

[Qin Manjiang.]

Stroke by stroke, he wrote his own name.

This time... the three characters turned blood-red, branded after the word "proxy," and a flash of bloody light suddenly blazed from the pupil in the background!

The bloody light was dazzling. Qin Manjiang felt as though the entire world before his eyes had turned blood-red!

Soon... he felt his consciousness being drawn out of his body!

He had experienced something similar during the ghost story on Butterfly Island. He knew this sensation well, this feeling of absolute freedom without the constraints of a physical body!

When the bloody light faded and he could clearly see everything around him, Qin Manjiang was profoundly shaken.

The dark space was outrageously vast, filled with densely packed pupils. His surroundings were utterly silent, and an indescribably eerie atmosphere spread through them.
