I Play the Horror World as a Simulation Game

Thump, thump.

Staring at the bloody heart in his hand, the dense blood vessels and severed veins were clearly visible, stimulating the eye.

Li Qianqian's face showed no sign of fear; her curious eyes were like those of an innocent child encountering a new toy.

After a few beats, the heart stopped moving and gradually lost its warmth, turning cold.

The vagrant whose heart had been removed was somehow still conscious. He stared at Xiao Hei hanging from the tree, grinned to reveal his brownish-yellow teeth, let out a couple of "hee hee" laughs, and then fell straight to the ground.

His skin rotted, flesh shattered.

A piece of paper caught the eye amidst the decaying flesh.

Qin Nuo picked it up and found it was a paper doll, palm-sized, with a smiling face drawn on it, giving an inexplicable creepy feeling.

Before Qin Nuo could examine it further, the paper doll spontaneously combusted, turning into a pile of ashes.

"Teacher, why are you here?" Li Qianqian tossed the heart aside, interrupting Qin Nuo's contemplation.

Qin Nuo glanced at Xiao Hei behind him and said, "I heard some noise, so I came to check."

Li Qianqian shook her head and said, "Teacher, I'm not stupid. You didn't mean to hurt Xiao Hei during the day; there must be a reason for it."

"You're here specifically to check on Xiao Hei's injuries, aren't you?"

As she spoke, she walked over to comfort Xiao Hei, saying tenderly, "Xiao Hei, don't be afraid. Hang in there, I'll get you out."

Qin Nuo chose silence, indirectly admitting it. Though Li Qianqian was sloppy, her clear eyes often saw through a person's heart.

"Teacher, can you help?" Li Qianqian untangled the barbed wire and looked back at him.

Qin Nuo looked at Xiao Hei's malicious gaze and said, "Forget it, I'll only agitate it if I go over."

Saying this, he took out the medical kit from the mysterious Doctor Black Jack and handed over the alcohol and gauze for treating wounds: "Try this, it might work better."

Li Qianqian took it and was about to bandage Xiao Hei, but the latter resisted and struggled. Because of what happened during the day, it had lost all trust in Qin Nuo.

"Xiao Hei, don't be afraid, I'm here." Li Qianqian gently comforted it while bandaging one of its paws.

The gauze from the mysterious doctor was a special ghost creature, lightly wrapping around the wounds, soon emitting an eerie green glow.

Xiao Hei was startled, struggling desperately. When it broke free from the gauze and prepared to escape, it found that the wound on its paw had completely healed.

Its eyes were filled with astonishment.

Qin Nuo said, "I'm very sorry for what happened during the day."

"Because I have a hereditary mental illness, which causes me to act erratically and aggressively at times. Once I calm down, I feel remorseful and guilty." 𝑅ÂNổᛒΕs

"I don't expect forgiveness, just to help where I can, to feel a bit better inside."

Although there wasn't enough evidence to prove that Liang Zisu had a similar dual-personality mental illness, at least he could use this excuse to explain his abnormal behavior.

Xiao Hei seemed to understand Qin Nuo's words, calming down a bit, sitting and licking its wounds.

Li Qianqian continued to bandage it with the gauze, and it didn't resist much, but its gaze towards Qin Nuo was still hostile.

Qin Nuo wisely said, "I'll leave this to you, student. The teacher has something to attend to."

Li Qianqian seemed to want to say something but just nodded after thinking for a moment.

As he emerged from the bushes, a game notification sounded in Qin Nuo's mind: "Congratulations, Player, for completing the role-playing task, gaining 10% role-play progress!"

"You've obtained a main quest clue!"

He actually obtained a main quest clue?

Qin Nuo raised an eyebrow. He had given up hope on the main quest clue from the role-playing task but didn't expect to hit the jackpot this time.

The greater the disappointment, the greater the hope.

Qin Nuo clicked to view the main quest clue.

"Main Quest: The Black Crow Ghost School at night seems to have a mysterious aura. At 2:30 AM, in the dark corridors, classrooms, and empty restrooms, strange sounds echo, as if those seemingly ordinary things hide great secrets."

"Is the source of control human or object? We do not know. The darkness of the abyss gives us fear, but it can also give us answers!"

"The clue is so vague?" Seeing the content of the clue, Qin Nuo was speechless.

This riddle could give someone a headache.

In short, it meant that at 2:30 AM, there was something he needed at the school, hinting at the time for him to act.

Qin Nuo checked the time; it was around 7:30 PM, so there was plenty of time to prepare.

Returning to the dormitory, the sky was completely dark.

The campus became cold and deserted again.

"Those teachers don't leave their dorms after returning, and the next time they open the door is early the next morning, let alone stepping into the campus at night."

"As a teacher wandering around the school at 2 AM, isn't that a bit too abnormal?" Qin Nuo muttered, pacing around the room, cooking an egg noodle to fill his stomach.

On the bedside table, the family photo of Liang Zisu with his girlfriend and parents smiled brightly, watching Qin Nuo eat, as if they were staring at him from within the room.@@novelbin@@

Feeling uncomfortable being watched, Qin Nuo got up and laid the photo frame face down.

"Pollen, pollen, enchanting pollen!"

"Squawk, squawk, enchanting pollen!"

The parrot on the balcony squawked, stretching its neck in the cage.

"Why is this parrot suddenly mentioning pollen at this time?" Qin Nuo wondered. This time it wasn't asking for food; the parrot suddenly called out, and its lines were completely different from the previous ones about dad and son.

Parrots learn the phrases their owners often say, and its ability to say this indicated that Liang Zisu had mentioned these words quite a bit.

The only flowers in the room were a few pots on the balcony, two cacti, and a pot of white jasmine, with a tag hanging from its pot.

In the diary, Liang Zisu mentioned that his girlfriend had given him a pot of jasmine, which must be this one. At the time, Liang Zisu spent a lot of time caring for it, treating it like a treasure.

But now...

Qin Nuo looked at the nearly withered white jasmine, lost in thought.

"His mother ended up in a mental hospital, his father and girlfriend are missing, clearly something significant happened, causing a huge blow to Liang Zisu."

"This blow is likely the reason for Liang Zisu's mental issues."

"The potted plant from his girlfriend died, yet this annoying parrot is still alive and well, plump and healthy."

Qin Nuo glanced at the parrot in the cage; its feathers were beautiful, with a white body and colorful head and tail, quite valuable.

The parrot turned its head, staring at Qin Nuo.

Qin Nuo tried to tease it: "Say 'Dad'."

"Good son!"

"..."

Qin Nuo felt a bit self-defeated and returned to the room.

Time ticked away.

The vast school was shrouded in darkness.

In the night sky, the black fog and clouds thinned considerably, allowing some moonlight to penetrate the clouds, driving away much of the darkness on campus.

Qin Nuo changed into casual clothes, carrying only a flashlight.

Acting at night in the Horror World always came with great danger, and having well-prepared protective weapons could provide a sense of security.

And Qin Nuo's greatest weapon was his right hand...
