This time, it was a woman who spoke, and the tone was light like she was whispering right into Feng Bujue’s ears.

"Download complete. You are currently playing Team Survival Mode (Normal). A scenario introduction is provided in this mode, and there is a chance for the trigger of side or hidden mission and special world-building.

The force of gravity on Feng Bujue slowly disappeared, and soon, the introductory CG appeared before his eyes. The scene showed the gate of a school, and the moon was hanging in the sky. The name of the school was written on the wall, Ye Jie Elite Academy. Looking from the main gate, there was a field and the main school building. Studying the image that was halted before his eyes, Feng Bujue could roughly tell that there were at least two more education buildings and a sports center at this school.

"Ye Jie Elite Academy, a place where the liveliness in the day formed a great contrast to the loneliness at night. Despite its current fame, the school came from a humble background. In fact, the school itself was built on cheap land, on top of a mass grave. In the twenty years after its establishment, many strange events had happened in this school, and the fear hidden within people’s hearts turned these events into different types of ghost stories that spread among the staff and students like a plague.

"Example 2: If the caller forgets or is unable to make the call, the caller will be viewed as the responsible party.

"You and your teammate are unable to directly communicate—limited by system—and all communication can only go through the phone.

"If you and your teammate accidentally encounter each other in the scenario, like one falling into the sight of the other, you have to separate within the time limit of one minute, or else the hoard of ghosts will start their targeted pursuit on both of you.

"After the scenario begins, please split up and enter the school grounds after five minutes. Failing that will result in the same punishment as previously noted."

Then, the scenario started.

Feng Bujue was already standing at the school gate with a new black flip phone in his hand. He turned to look at his teammate, and he was startled because his teammate was Passing Rain. Before queuing up, Feng Bujue did not go to check his friend list, so he had no idea that she was online.

Passing Rain’s expression did not shift too much, but internally, she was equally surprised.

This was the first day of the open beta, and there were probably more than a million players online. Within this sea of players, they both queued up separately but were able to meet up in the same scenario, and the number of players for this scenario was just two. This kind of coincidence, some might call it fate.

What is fate? I shall attempt to answer that with the theory of reincarnation supplied by the ideology of Buddhism: nemeses will become father and son, and hated people will become husband and wife, so why wait for the next life? Settle everything today.

I personally believe that fate does not only limit itself to love and family. Coming to this world, making enemies, and causing hatred, that is also a type of fate. Therefore, some advice for my readers who believe in Buddhism, if you have any negative feelings toward anyone, try to resolve it in this life, or else they might become your son or daughter in your next life, and you’ll just spend more time trying to perfect their lives. If you owe someone money, please hurry to settle the debt, or else while you might escape from the debt in this life, you’ll need to compensate with your body in the next life.

Oh, by the way, the reason I am writing all this is because the song earlier sounded quite scary, so this part is merely to lighten the mood.

Back to the story, Feng Bujue tried to speak, and naturally, he could not. His voice was muted by the system, and even his intention to move his lips was prevented by the system. Therefore, he could only rely on his gestures. He first made the sign for six and placed it beside his ear, a sign for the phone. Then he pointed at himself, raising his index finger, and then pointed at Passing Rain, raising two fingers.

Feng Bujue was confirming the sequence of caller. His action was easily understood, so naturally, Passing Rain got it. She nodded. Then, she also gesticulated in response. She pointed at herself and then at the main building. After a brief pause, she pointed at Feng Bujue and then at the far side of the field.

Feng Bujue made the ok sign with his right hand and extended his right arm, because his other arm was holding the phone, bowing at his waist to allow the lady to go first.

The two split up the job in silence. Passing Rain entered Ye Jie Elite Academy first, and Feng Bujue followed closely behind her, each of them going in completely different directions.

After both of them stepped into the school, the system called out, "Main quest triggered."

The quest details were: "Explore Ye Jie Elite Academy to resolve the seven supernatural phenomena. Current progress, 0/7"
