The consciousness began to falter again, and his breathing became more and more rapid.

How much longer can he last?

Xu Fang just wanted to survive, and if he failed, he did his best.

Doing his best, listening to the fate of God ...... No, maybe listening to the fate of his creator. If the creator does not want him to die, then he, Xu Fang, can live for a while.

There are three realms of human beings: the first realm is not afraid of death, the second realm is not caring about dying, and the third realm is indifferent to death, that is, living is enjoyment and death is liberation.

Xu Fang is working hard towards the third realm, so that he can find some meaning in existence.

A few more minutes passed.

The vision was dark, Xu Fang could not see anything anymore, perhaps the worms had destroyed his visual nerves. His body had become numb, the constant pain had dulled his senses, and his brain couldn't take the load and broke down, I guess.

(About to die? If you want me to die, then hurry up, creator, don't make me feel pain anymore, end me quietly!)

Xu Fang roared low in his heart.

His consciousness was getting heavier and heavier, and just when he was about to get lost, a voice seemed to ring in his ears:

[Congratulations on getting through this bizarre event. ]

Hmm?

Xu Fang came back to his senses and opened his eyes.

The vision was bright, he regained his sight and could see again. The pain disappeared, and when he looked at his body, there was no trace of injury, and the half of his calf that had been bitten off was restored as before.

It was as if nothing had happened.

Xu Fang let out a breath of relief.

There was no danger. This bizarre event was not as difficult as the demon game, at least it gave an obvious hint of the way to live.

For now ...... is safe.

But if the update problem is not solved, there will be another, and another, and another, endless bizarre event waiting for Xu Fang. Even if each bizarre event passes, his creator is still watching from the shadows.

His fate is still very difficult.

Xu Fang took out his phone and opened the webpage.

Sure enough, after the bizarre incident, he could log into Horror Novel Web normally.

Just after he got on the web, a golden message box popped up.

[In view of your excellent performance, you have been promoted from a regular author to an F-level Horror Novel Web author, and you will enjoy F-level author rights in the future. Click for more information]

Seeing this message, Xu Fang was surprised and hurried to check the permission.

--

[1. You don't need to pay points to enter the customer service center, and you have permission to know more content.

Note: There is a one-hour "waiting period" every time you exit from the Customer Service Center. If you enter the customer service center again during this period, you need to pay 20 points and the "waiting period" will not be refreshed.

2. The review time for your submitted chapters has been significantly reduced to no less than 2,000 words and no more than 10,000 words per chapter.

3、A small number of regular items available for purchase have been added to your points store.

4、You have added a remote correspondence function].

......

have permission to know more content?

This is what Xu Fang needs to know urgently, he has a lot of questions to ask Horror Novel Web.

Enter the customer service center, and sure enough, the prompt of "Pay 20 points" is gone, but unfortunately there is a one-hour cooldown time.

[Please choose the question mode, if you have not chosen after ten seconds, you will exit the consultation center by default.

"Free to ask questions!"

[You have entered the "Free Question" mode, please ask a question.]

"What is the identity of my creator?"

[Sorry, this question is beyond the answer permission.

Xu Fang sighed, even the F-rank author had no right to know the identity of the creator, which meant that the person's authority was higher than his.

"What is the location of my creator?"

[Sorry, this question is beyond the permission to answer. ]

"......"

Xu Fang asked five questions about the creator in a row, but each question was beyond the answer permission. Xu Fang didn't dare to ask any more questions. Even if you don't answer, it is still deducting points.

Xu Fang was disappointed and quit the customer service center, thinking that there is nothing good about being an F-rank author, you are not allowed to know what you should not know.

Xu Fang went into the store again and found that there were two columns in the store, one was for "Regular Items" and the other was for "Unconventional Items". The column of unconventional items was empty. The column of regular items was diverse, including daily necessities, various kinds of food, electronic products, and even special compounds.

Xu Fang searched for a while, but couldn't find any high-tech or arms weapons. It seems that all the items sold here are ordinary items with little power, and you can buy many of them by paying few points.

It is worth noting that points can also be exchanged for cash, 1 point can be exchanged for 500 yuan, of course, you can also exchange for other currencies of the same value.

He secretly smacked his lips, this exchange rate is really big, but only unilateral exchange, can not exchange RMB for points.

What is painful is that he had 603 points, just now the customer service consulting questions consumed 100 points, only 503 points left. Obviously did not ask anything, but lost 50,000 yuan.

After looking for a while, Xu Fang couldn't find the self-defense weapon he urgently needed, so he was even more disappointed and used 20 points to exchange 10,000 yuan.

After paying 20 points, a brand new stack of 100 yuan bills suddenly appeared in Xu Fang's hand. He looked at the money in his hand, and didn't feel anything special.

In a sense, the value of 1 point was definitely more than 500 yuan. Because Xu Fang clearly remembered that the fortification card was worth 3600 points (the second purchase method), which was converted into RMB 1.8 million.

The reinforcement card, when used properly, is enough to generate world-changing power, and 1.8 million to get it, that reinforcement card is too cheap, some tycoons can buy a pile as a poker game.

After putting away the money, Xu Fang entered the author's background again and found the imp. Customer service and the store can not be relied on, he can only rely on the imp Gussy.

However ......

[Due to the distance between you and "Demon#Gussy", you are unable to connect or control it.

Information of "Demon#Gussy":

Status: Hungry

Energy: 52%

Level: LV8

Good and Evil Value: -450

Distance from you: about 385,000 km]

......

Xu Fang stared wide-eyed and looked at it repeatedly several times to make sure he read it right.

385,000 kilometers? Are you sure it has the word "million" in it?

The diameter of the Earth is only 10,000 kilometers or so. According to this distance, doesn't it mean that Gussy has gone to outer space? How could it go so far? Could it be the Horror Novel Web?

It is likely that the two mysterious policemen took Gussy to an extremely distant place, and the mysterious policemen could be related to the Novel Web.

What should we do?

Xu Fang thought for a while and simply gave up. Even if Gussy was with him, what was the use? It can't help him deal with Horror Novel Web's "little black man". Let's just let nature take its course. ......

However, Xu Fang still had one more thing to do.

That is to deal with the impact of this bizarre incident.

Baiyang Express sent worms to the residents, but the worms disappeared when they were shown to the 100th resident. Would the courier be surprised and would he call the police in a panic?

Xu Fang had to make up an excuse to get rid of it.

He searched for the phone number of the courier company in his address book, but after a while, he found that the phone number had disappeared. Not only that, even the call records with the courier were gone, all traces of the "worm" were gone.

Xu Fang suddenly had a bad idea: the small company also disappeared, right?

Thinking of this, he hurriedly ran out of the hotel and took a taxi to No. 46 Fu An Road.

The fact verified Xu Fang's suspicion, there was a storehouse, which was the headquarters of Baiyang Company, but now the storehouse showed the word "for sale". There was no one in the storehouse and no decoration.

Ask people in the neighborhood, no one knows that there was a small company called Baiyang, and it has never been on the Internet.

Did the company really disappear with the worm? Why did no one else have any memory of this company?

Xu Fang couldn't help but be curious and went into the customer service inquiry center and asked, and came up with this response:

[The Baiyang Express Company does not exist in this world, it is part of a bizarre event.]
