The name "Shinigami World" or "Shinigami Space" immediately brings to mind the movie "Final Destination."

But it's not that.

It has some elements from "Final Destination" and another classic horror movie, "*". The reason it's called "Shinigami Space" instead of "Death Note Space" is that the most important item in this world is not a notebook, but a mobile phone.

Dugu Fu explained to the two women while holding his phone: "Sis Wei, Xingxing, you've probably studied how to use the phone on the way, right? You can check the time, calendar, weather, listen to music, take photos... Besides, you can also make calls. Let me show you."

Although the innkeeper and Guo Xingxing are from the game world and should have no knowledge of real-world high-tech gadgets, they sometimes come into contact with the system interface, so they shouldn't be too unfamiliar.

Why did he bring them into this world?

First, for protection. Outside, it's chaos and gunfire, and his strength can't protect them. Second, for convenience in teasing and improving emotional intelligence. Guo Xingxing is beautiful, and the innkeeper is sexy... teasing them together would definitely boost his emotional intelligence. Of course, there's a third and most important reason: if three people complete the game, the rewards will be three times the normal amount!

After demonstrating the call function, Dugu Fu finally got to the main point: "But in this world, its most important function is—killing! There are three key elements to killing: the target's photo, name, and the distance between you and the target."

"The photo mainly uses the camera function, as I mentioned earlier... aim at the target and tap here. The name needs to be found out somehow, or like I did just now, steal an ID card, which is the simplest and most effective way, and you can also get the ID number. As for distance, within ten meters, the phone camera can lock onto the target; within thirty meters, you need a clear photo of their face; beyond thirty meters, you need both a photo and the correct name; beyond a hundred meters, you also need to know their ID number."

"Once all these conditions are met, you can start designing the death..."

The difference between the Shinigami Space and "Final Destination" or "*" lies here. The method of selecting a target is similar to "*", where you need to know the target's name and appearance. However, the way to obtain the appearance is not by seeing them, but by having a photo of them.

The method of causing death is similar to "Final Destination." Each player with a phone is like the unseen Shinigami in "Final Destination," killing the target through death design. In "*", if you don't specify the cause of death, it defaults to a heart attack, but that doesn't work here.

Dugu Fu wrote "taxi driver, dies in a car accident." The reason it worked immediately is that cars are always on the road, and accidents can happen at any time. When he wrote it, the accident happened. But if there were no cars on the road, even if he wrote "car accident," the system wouldn't magically create a car to hit the driver; the design would fail.

"Was that... really you who did that?"

Hundreds of meters away, the taxi was already unrecognizable, traffic was jammed, and ambulances were rushing to the scene... The innkeeper and Guo Xingxing turned to look at Dugu Fu with fear.

Dugu Fu understood their concern: "Don't be afraid. The people here aren't real. Apart from us, no one is real. You can think of this place as a... ghost city, a very, very large ghost city." Dugu Fu gestured to the sky and earth.

"Ghost city?" The innkeeper and Guo Xingxing widened their eyes and looked around. "It doesn't look like one?"

According to legend, there are some places in the world where darkness reigns and the sun never shines. These places are filled with immortal ghosts and hidden treasures. If someone stumbles in, they will be devoured by endless ghosts, but if they can defeat the ghosts, they can obtain unimaginable wealth...

This is the legend of the ghost city in the NPC world.

From the player's perspective, the so-called ghost city is simply a dungeon.

It's hard to explain all this to two game characters, but the immediate crisis has passed, so Dugu Fu didn't mind explaining further.

What immediate crisis?

The first rule of the Shinigami Space: Every hour, players must use their phone to kill someone. If they fail, they are immediately eliminated.

Why is it called the Shinigami Space? Once you enter, if you don't kill, someone will kill you! You have to keep killing, non-stop...

Dugu Fu had already completed his task, and he had done it for Guo Xingxing as well. Now, he had just completed it for the innkeeper, right at the last minute. If she hadn't arrived, he would have had to use unconventional means. Fortunately, she did.

The second rule of the Shinigami Space: Excess kills can be accumulated, but only up to eight.

This means players can earn up to eight hours of rest. However, the killing game never stops once it starts...

The third rule of the Shinigami Space: Players can only leave if their character dies or if they kill more than ten other players.

For players, death means the invitation is void; but for NPCs, death is real!

Just as he was explaining, a voice came from behind: "Hey, buddy, you've got it good, with two beautiful women accompanying you."

Turning around, he saw a guy holding a phone in one hand and a large plastic bag in the other, walking towards them with a loud "crunch" sound.

Seeing this guy, Dugu Fu couldn't help but laugh and cry: The quality of the players has dropped since he last came... He raised his phone and started taking photos without hesitation.

Within ten meters, the phone camera can lock onto the target for a death design without knowing the name.

The guy's eyes showed surprise. He was just annoyed by Dugu Fu's armful of beautiful women and wanted to kill him, but he didn't expect the other to be a player.

However, the surprise was fleeting. What if the other is a player? This is a game of mutual killing, and he had the first move. In an instant, he was close enough, and he suddenly threw the plastic bag, sending a pile of garbage flying towards Dugu Fu. Hearing the camera lock, he grinned and pressed the trigger.

The bag of garbage contained... banana peels? And iron spikes?

Using death props is the least technical! If only there were guns in this world! Dugu Fu complained, his fingers flying. He locked onto the other player with the camera and operated the phone with just his index and middle fingers.

"Crunch!" At the entrance of the anime exhibition, there was a large inflatable arch, tied down with ropes on all sides, with advertising balloons floating above and a blower below. Suddenly, two of the ropes holding the arch broke, and the arch fell forward, blocking Dugu Fu and the player.

The player, caught off guard, was trapped between the inflatable arches, surrounded by the inflated bags. He remembered the banana peels and iron spikes he had scattered on the ground and stood still, struggling.

After a great effort, he finally freed himself from the inflatable bags, but before he could catch his breath, his face changed. The garbage he had thrown had somehow landed on the blower. The banana peels were quickly shredded by the blower's blades, but the iron spikes... "Swoosh!" There was a sharp sound.

The iron spikes stuck in the blower suddenly disappeared.

The next second, the player's eyes widened as the iron spikes pierced his face, blood gushing out, and he fell backward.
