  Chapter 8 Emotions
  Li Nuo touched the bridge of his nose, feeling uneasy.

  The content on the loudspeaker just now made him discern an extremely bad message.

  This place, this train, this place, what lies ahead... may be a little unorthodox.

  There is no limit to how dangerous a comic can be.

  "But... according to the information in the voice just now, I am also a character in the game?" "

  Is it that "Cairo Game World"? What kind of game is that? I've never heard of it."

  Li Nuo became confused.

  In the world he lives in, there is a world-wide conglomerate called the Cairo Company.

  He recorded the incident in his mind and took it out later at the right time.

  After some special training, Li Nuo was able to distribute and arrange the memory information.

  He built several bookshelves in his mind and labeled them "1T", "need knowledge in the near future", "available knowledge in the long term", "useless knowledge" and "danger".

  Let’s break down a few tags.

  What knowledge is needed can be retrieved at any time.

  For example, he learned how to make a Molotov cocktail when he was 13 years old. He has only made a Molotov cocktail once, and it has been 7 years. He can instantly take out the knowledge and use it because he relies on labeling thinking and memory.

  He had no luck using this method at the beginning. At that time, his father ran away with his true love, and his mother had a poor memory. She was afraid that she would take the wrong medicine and report to the Temple of the King of Hell in advance, so she could only rely on herself to exercise her memory.

  As time goes by, the bookshelves that were originally memory medicines have been filled with all kinds of knowledge that can be retrieved at any time.

  The train entered a tunnel at this time.

  The surroundings became dark.

  [We still have 20 seconds to reach your home]

  The moment the voice ended, the car slowly stopped.

  The light shines in, and outside the car window is a warehouse-like cabin.

  The car door opens.

  [Players please get off the train]

  Li Nuo walked out of the train without any nostalgia.

  A strong wind blew behind him, and the train left the cabin in just two seconds. When he looked back, the track had turned into a wall.

  The hut was empty, and a kerosene lamp sat on an empty box, illuminating the ladder leading away.

  "Basement?"

  Li Nuo was puzzled. He picked up the kerosene lamp. It was strange that there was no panel on the thing. Then he inserted the kerosene lamp with a wooden stick and held it in his mouth. He climbed up the ladder carefully and opened the door that only one person could pass through. wooden door.

  A dark wind blew.

  When he saw the scene outside, he was stunned.

  He stood at the end of a stone path, flanked by stone platforms on both sides. The stone platforms were filled with white flowers for final use.

  Looking up, there is a dilapidated steeple house not far away.

  Several withered trees took root around the building, and the messy and thick dead branches covered the house like mummy hands.

  Under the gray sky, it was quiet, strange, and uneasy.

  In front of the building, five tombstones stand.

  A European-style iron fence surrounded the entire area, surrounded by endless clouds and mist. Countless towering stone pillars stood in the clouds and mist... After hesitating for a moment,

  he walked onto the stone path leading to the building, and then the system voice sounded...

  [Hello, first of all, congratulations on completing the newcomer screening]

  [This is your login space, which can also be understood as your home. Here we will explain how to use your home]

  [The initial appearance of your home is related to your heart and personality ]

  "I'm just so dark, right..."

  Li Nuo complained and walked forward.

  [The five tombstones, in order from the left hand side of the entry direction are - collecting tasks, buying and selling in the mall, adjusting building functions, summoning trains, and the last one, which is the tombstone with your name, can be accessed through conscious connection, and has your mailbox inside. and communication records]

  [There is an old man's chair in the building for you to rest and recover your blood] [

  There is a forging platform in the building for you to change equipment]

  [There is a bookshelf in the building to store your personal "memory fragments"]

  [ For mission-related information, please see "Mission Tombstone"] [The time in the main space (here) is the same as that in the real world, but in the game world, time in the real world will not pass] [The time you can stay in the main space is 4 hours per day

  ]

  [After you die in the mission scenario, you will be teleported back to the main space, and all injuries will be healed. However, if you have irreversible injuries such as a broken limb, it cannot be recovered. At the same time, when you return to the real world after a broken limb, it will also be a broken limb. Status]

  [Return to the real world and confirm your departure through consciousness connection. If you want to return to the main space, please silently recite "Endless Corridor, player name and number"]

  Li Nuo waited for a few seconds, convinced that the system voice had stopped, and looked around He glanced around.

  "Leave."

  [Are you sure to leave the Endless Corridor?]

  "Yes."

  Compared to the exploration, there is another more important thing waiting for Li Nuo to confirm.

  Li Nuo slowly opened his eyelids. He was lying on the ground, his head a little dizzy.

  He sat up on the ground and waited for a while. The feeling of dizziness was still there but had eased a bit. He twisted his neck and looked around. After confirming again, he covered his forehead and lowered his head.

  "Are you back..."

  Li Nuo pondered secretly.

  After a moment, he stretched out his hand to explore the back of his head. He remembered that he had hit the back of his head on the corner of the table after he slipped. He searched for it, but found that there was no wound.

  "..."

  He stood up holding on to the table and moved his body. He found that his physical condition was very "abnormal". The feeling of powerlessness caused by the disease had all disappeared, and instead he felt an indescribable feeling of comfort. feel.

  "Really healed?"

  Li Nuo immediately closed his eyes, and then thought silently...

  "Endless Corridor, player Li Nuo, 5900."

  [Return to the game or not]

  opened his eyes instantly, his expression changed, and there was a look in his eyes. An inexplicable emotion.

  Move your body and feel the discomfort caused by the pain disappear.

  He picked up the thermometer, put it under his arm, and sat silently like a wooden man.

  After waiting for fifteen minutes, he took out the thermometer and looked at the number 36°7 on it. Li Nuo stood up and walked to the bathroom, taking off his shirt and throwing it on the floor.

  Looking at myself in the mirror, I have been treated in various ways over the years, leaving many bruises on my body.

  The subcutaneous bleeding is gone.

  The erythema is gone.

  The trauma scars are gone.

  The edema is gone.

  Li Nuo turned on the faucet and filled the sink. He took out ice cubes used to reduce joint swelling from the refrigerator and put them into the sink.

  Then he immersed his head in the cold water, held his breath and stayed there for more than ten seconds, then slowly raised his head, going back and forth several times, using this rude method to calm down his brain.

  Finally he sat back in the living room.

  There was water dripping from the wet hair, and the water droplets hit the wooden floor, and the clicking sound was as confusing as his thoughts.

  He didn't know how to express his emotions now.

  I have thought about what it will be like on the day I die more than once, but I have never thought that one day I will be able to get rid of this disease.

  Not once.

  Sudden bursts of joy and consternation usually follow moments of silence.

  But Li Nuo may have been used to surprises brought about by illness, so he was calm and had no emotional disturbance at all.

  My pupils inadvertently glanced at the book on the table.

  "108 Ways to Kill Your Ex-Boyfriend", "Suicide Methods That Can Scare People to Death", "How to Make Up a Lie to Make Everyone Think You're Dead when Actually You're Really Dead", "20 People Who Turned into Ghosts After Death" "Common Methods" and "How to Suicide Without Pain".

  "Suicide is probably out of the question. I spent a lot of money on these books, and I don't know if I can return them..."

  Li Nuo looked at his mother's portrait hanging on the wall.

  "Mom, it may be a few years before I can see you."
