Lanxing.
"Another boring day. That bald manager must be jealous of my thick hair, always targeting me. I really want to find a chance to beat him up."
In the room, Mu Jiuge, in the prime of his life, handsome and suave, felt his anger rise as he thought about being targeted by the bald manager at work.
If it were a few years ago, he would have smashed the manager's head with a beer bottle without hesitation.
After drinking a bottle of闷酒 (depressing alcohol), Mu Jiuge became even angrier, and with a punch, he shattered the glass, cutting his hand in the process.
However, Mu Jiuge did not pay much attention to it. After a simple bandage, he fell asleep on the sofa.
Unbeknownst to him, among the shattered glass, a small crystal stone, after absorbing his blood, emitted a strange light.
A flash of white light appeared and disappeared, taking the sleeping Mu Jiuge with it.
...
Marvel Earth-199999-616 Universe (Marvel Cinematic Universe).
In Europe, there is a legendary hotel in Slovakia that is a paradise for young men and women.
This fairy-tale-like hotel is filled with beautiful girls and handsome men from all over the world in the lobby.
The receptionist is youthful and very热情 (enthusiastic), making many people reluctant to leave.
However, these are just appearances. Foreign visitors to this place often go missing, never to be heard from again.
Behind the gentle and welcoming facade of the Slovak Hotel lies a bloody slaughterhouse.
Most of the missing foreigners end up dying here anonymously!
"Hmm~"
In the dimly lit room, Mu Jiuge woke up groggily, only to find himself bound to a metal chair.
The chair was made entirely of metal, with its legs welded to the ground, making it very sturdy.
Looking around, he saw a long table in front of him, covered in blood, with various tools laid out: drills, pliers, knives, saws, needles, guns, ropes, and more...
[Where am I?]
[How did I end up in this place?]
[Am I kidnapped? There's no reason for that!]
A series of thoughts flashed through his mind. Mu Jiuge was confused. He was just an ordinary young man, with no house, no car, and no savings. There was no reason for him to be kidnapped.
Could it be a kidney theft gang?
That shouldn't be the case. The safety in our country is the best in the world. Who would dare to break into a house and kidnap someone?
Is there still any law?
Before Mu Jiuge could figure out the situation,
"Creak~"
The iron door was opened, making a grating metallic sound.
Through the dim light, Mu Jiuge saw a middle-aged white man in surgical scrubs, holding a large pair of scissors, walking towards him.
A foreigner?
Something is wrong!
"Ugh~"
Mu Jiuge wanted to speak, but his hands and feet were tightly bound to the chair with metal cuffs, and his mouth was taped shut, making it impossible to speak or call for help.
The white man's expression was cold, clearly not friendly. Mu Jiuge's heart sank to the bottom.
Being at the mercy of others is a very unsettling feeling.
"Boy, tell me, how did you get here? Do you have any accomplices?"
The white man in surgical scrubs looked at Mu Jiuge with the eyes of a predator, removed the tape from his mouth, and placed the scissors on his little finger, the threat clear.
Mu Jiuge understood English, but he had no idea how to answer the white man's questions.
He still didn't understand the situation.
He remembered falling asleep at home, not bothering anyone, and had no idea how he ended up here.
But seeing the scissors on his finger, Mu Jiuge was scared and quickly said in English, "I don't know what you're talking about. I was just sleeping at home and woke up here!"
"Good boy, still being stubborn, huh!"
The unknown white man sneered, and with a forceful push, the scissors cut off Mu Jiuge's little finger, causing blood to gush out.
"Ah!!!"
The pain was excruciating, and Mu Jiuge's body convulsed, but he was firmly bound to the chair and couldn't escape.
"Damn it, you bastard, I'll kill you, you damn...!"
Mu Jiuge, in pain and anger, instinctively cursed in fluent Mandarin.
"You have guts!"
The white man didn't understand Mandarin, but he could tell Mu Jiuge was cursing him. He picked up the scissors and placed them on Mu Jiuge's left ring finger.
Mu Jiuge's heart sank. Despite cursing the man's ancestors, he held back.
Enduring the pain and anger, Mu Jiuge asked in a hoarse voice, "What do you want?"
"That's what I should be asking you. What's your purpose here?" the white man said coldly.
"I don't even know where I am. I woke up here. I really don't know. Please let me go."
When in a tight spot, one must bow. Mu Jiuge was seething with hatred but still begged for mercy.
A true man can bend and stretch. If he could escape, even if he had to go to jail, he would make the white man pay.
The white man didn't believe him: "Still being stubborn, huh? I'll see how long you can last. I have time to play with you."
Saying this, he made a move to cut off Mu Jiuge's ring finger.
"Wait! Wait!"
Mu Jiuge quickly said, "I'll talk. Actually, I'm an undercover agent investigating a missing persons case."
Knowing the man was serious, to save his finger, Mu Jiuge bluffed. He had no other choice. The pain made his mind fuzzy, and he didn't even consider if the lie would work, just hoping to buy some time.
The white man smiled, put down the scissors, and suddenly slapped Mu Jiuge hard, making his head buzz and his mouth and nose bleed.
"Trying to fool me? Do you think I'm an idiot?"
The white man then punched Mu Jiuge in the stomach, almost making him vomit last night's dinner.
His face burning and his stomach in agony, Mu Jiuge was filled with rage.
Damn you, you don't believe the truth or the lie. Are you crazy?
Mu Jiuge glared at the white man, wishing he could stab him a hundred times with a spear like Zhang Fei.
Seeing Mu Jiuge's fierce gaze, the white man was unfazed. He had seen such looks before. What good does it do to be angry and powerless? Can you kill me with your eyes?
"Since you won't cooperate, let's try something else."
The white man turned to the table, picked up a drill, plugged it in, and slowly attached a thick drill bit.
Damn it!
What kind of place is this?
Police, help! There's a pervert here!
Seeing the white man's actions, Mu Jiuge was terrified. He had seen similar scenes in the movie "Hostel."
When he saw the drill bit pierce the thigh, he felt the pain even through the screen.
Wait!
"Hostel"!
Mu Jiuge suddenly had a bold idea. Could he have traveled through time?
Looking at the familiar setup, Mu Jiuge felt that this place was either a pervert's recreation of the "Hostel" movie set, or he had indeed traveled through time.
In his youth, Mu Jiuge had a fiery temper and had offended people, but not to the point of having his limbs cut off.
Eliminating all other possibilities, there was only one truth.
But Mu Jiuge was not happy about traveling through time. The slaughterhouse in "Hostel" was a place for rich people to satisfy their perverted desires.
Very few people survived this place.
Did he just travel through time to die?
At this moment, the white man had already attached the drill bit and was walking towards Mu Jiuge step by step.
I'm going to die!
I'm going to die!
Seeing the white man's determination to cut off his finger, Mu Jiuge knew the man was not joking.
The thought of such a large drill bit piercing his flesh made him shudder.
Just as Mu Jiuge was in despair, a mechanical voice appeared in his mind.
[Answering Space invites you to join the quiz.]
Immediately, a strange light enveloped Mu Jiuge.
The light was not large, only about ten meters in diameter, like a transparent blue sphere. As the light formed, the world outside lost its color.
Then, Mu Jiuge's body suddenly disappeared from the room, as if he had never been there.
"What the hell?"
The white man with the drill opened his eyes wide, his face showing disbelief.
He had no idea what was happening.
Lao Bushi turned to run, but the light was like an invisible cage, unbreakable.
"What's going on?"
At that moment, a large rectangular holographic screen suddenly appeared in front of Lao Bushi.
