Chapter 92

The lit screen of the phone displayed a new text message.

A phone’s basic function is to make and receive calls and messages, so under normal circumstances, it wouldn’t surprise anyone. However, in a situation with no signal, this phenomenon was quite unsettling.

"Huh, it’s a text message?"

"How is that possible? There’s no signal, how can it receive a message?"

No matter how many questions they had, they all decided to open the message to see what it was.

"Selected ones, welcome to the Nightmare World. As newcomers, you have the right to receive a gift. Please choose one of the following five items to assist you in completing your tasks: bread, water, flashlight, dagger, key."

"What the hell is this?"

After reading the message, everyone looked at each other, completely baffled.

What is the Nightmare World? What are selected ones? What are newcomers? Is this a movie?

The five people widened their eyes, feeling a bit dizzy and disoriented, except for the girl who was trembling with her head down.

"Have you finished reading the message?"

Chen Yang walked over and asked casually.

"The content of this message... what is it? Is this a prank?"

The man in the black tank top was angry, seemingly convinced that someone was playing a prank on them.

The others didn’t speak, but they clearly agreed with him.

The man in the suit frowned and said, "The content is a bit absurd, but don’t you find it strange? There’s no signal on the phone, so how did this message come? I checked, and there’s no other software installed on the phone, so it shouldn’t be..."

"It shouldn’t be caused by software..."

The disheveled man laughed bitterly and raised his phone. "My old Nokia from five or six years ago can’t install any software at all."

"Me neither, my phone doesn’t have any other software installed."

The high school student looked at his phone carefully and said.

"That’s strange... if it’s not software, what is it?"

"I’ve already told you, haven’t I? You are not in the real world right now."

Chen Yang interrupted their doubts and said coldly, "You are in another space, a mysterious space that current science cannot recognize. To put it bluntly, your souls have already left your bodies and been pulled into this place called the Nightmare World."

Everyone was stunned but still chose to...

Not believe it!

Although they found their arrival strange and the place was very bizarre, decades of scientific education wouldn’t make them easily believe in mysterious and superstitious things.

Talk of souls was simply laughable.

If it weren’t for the eerie atmosphere, in another place, no one would have rolled their eyes at Chen Yang’s words.

"Hey, mister, what you’re saying is hard to believe. Do you have any evidence?"

The high school student directly expressed his disbelief. What a joke, his political studies were excellent, and he wouldn’t easily believe such idealistic ideas.

"I think this guy is crazy. We might as well go check out that bus."

The man in the black tank top pointed to the parked bus.

Many people agreed with him. After all, in this remote area, the only useful clue was that bus.

And the reason they were here was probably because of that bus.

"Wait!"

Chen Yang raised his hand to stop them.

"It’s natural for you not to believe what I say."

"But the evidence you need is right beside you."

Chen Yang’s actions made everyone instinctively wary. They looked at each other, and the man in the suit asked, "Evidence? To be honest, your behavior and words make it hard to believe you."

"I’ll only say this once. If you’re not willing to spend a little time to verify it, don’t regret it when someone dies later."

Chen Yang’s expression was expressionless, and he paused slightly when he said "die," making everyone’s faces change slightly.

"You crazy... what nonsense are you talking? Are you drunk or something?"

The man in the tank top scolded.

"What evidence are you talking about?"

At this point, the man in the suit asked calmly.

"The text message!"

Chen Yang’s eyes looked at their phones. "You saw the text message asking you to choose an item. The evidence you need is simply to reply with the name of the item you want, just like you normally would."

Everyone was stunned. The man in the tank top sneered, "Oh, you mean if I reply, someone will personally deliver the item to me? I’d like to see who would do that."

He immediately typed "water" on his phone and hit send.

Normally, a phone without signal would store the message in the draft box, but something strange happened—the message was sent successfully.

The man in the tank top frowned, still thinking someone had tampered with their phones.

But the next moment, something unbelievable happened!

A bottle of mineral water suddenly appeared in the man’s hand.

Yes, it appeared suddenly. One second his hand was empty, and the next, just a blink later, he was holding a bottle of mineral water.

"Damn..."

Because of the man’s earlier sarcasm, everyone’s attention was on him, and they all saw this magic-like scene—a bottle of mineral water appeared in his hand without any warning!

"Damn, damn."

The man in the tank top, who had never shown fear, threw the bottle of water away as if it were a poisonous insect, stepping back a few steps, his eyes full of disbelief.

As the person involved, the man in the tank top understood the incredible feeling. His hand was empty, and he didn’t feel anything, but the next moment, he was holding a bottle of mineral water. The only word that could describe his shock was "damn."

This unscientific phenomenon also frightened everyone present. They looked at the rolling bottle of water on the ground with expressions of disbelief.

"This is the evidence you need."

Chen Yang’s tone remained cold. "If you still think it’s a magic trick, you can try it again. There are still a few of you."

Silence... a moment of silence. After hearing Chen Yang’s words, few dared to try easily.

Living in a world of common sense, who would dare to believe someone’s words before they were sure? No one is a fool.

No, no one is a fool, but there is an impulsive person.

The high school student, trembling, suddenly spoke, his voice filled with fear and excitement. "I just... saw it clearly. This is definitely not a magic trick. Magic hasn’t reached this level. I want to try, don’t stop me."

Everyone stared at him, and no one spoke to stop him.

"You..."

The high school student was a bit embarrassed but still bit his teeth and chose "flashlight" and sent the reply.

The message was sent smoothly, and the next moment, a black flashlight appeared out of nowhere, hitting the high school student on the head.

"Damn, what the hell is that?"

The high school student rubbed his head and looked around, only to find everyone staring at him in shock.

"You... this, this is really a flashlight."

The high school student, coming to his senses, looked at the object on the ground in the pale moonlight, gasping.

Everyone swallowed hard, all of them overwhelmed by the shock.

If the first time could be explained as a magic trick, the second time, with the flashlight appearing out of nowhere, was definitely not a magic trick. This was something science couldn’t explain.

"Damn, where the hell are we?"

The man in the tank top asked in fear.

No one answered him because everyone’s eyes were on Chen Yang.
