Chapter 1 A Big Joke

"What a joke, a total joke! Do you think this great lord, invincible under the heavens, would be afraid of those bastards? They come one, I'll kill one; they come two, I'll kill a pair..."

The Evil God's Right Hand's tone and attitude were extremely firm.

Shen Wei was overjoyed upon hearing this, "That's fantastic! Right-san, I knew you could do it. When those bastards come charging up later, you'll deal with them. I believe with just a slight move from you, they'll be sent packing on the spot..."

"Ahem, although that's how things are, and that's the principle, after all, Heaven has a virtue of cherishing life. We can't just go around killing the innocent, can we? It's best to give them a chance to turn over a new leaf. So, this great lord has decided not to intervene. You rely on your intelligence to solve them..."

The Evil God's Right Hand coughed a few times and said shamelessly.

Shen Wei was furious when he heard this, "I should just chop you off and buy you a high-speed rail ticket to Notre Dame in Paris so you can move the Virgin Mary down and sit there yourself! You're a coward, just admit it, don't make so many excuses..."

"Nonsense! Fatal blow warning!"

"I've realized, you're just a rat with a gun, tough only in the nest..."

After Shen Wei and his Evil God's Right Hand had a "friendly" exchange, he had to think of other countermeasures.

"Now, I must find Tape 0 and return to the original otherworld space, or rather, the real world. No matter what those Shenzhao Society bastards do, we'll leave here first..."

"Kid, this great lord thinks you're right. But if you could give me another hundred or eighty years of life, the success rate might reach 100%..."

Seeing the Evil God's Right Hand's shamelessness, Shen Wei only replied with one word: "Scram!"

After saying that, Shen Wei stood up and put the Yin-Yang Umbrella back into the Weird Ring, then began rummaging through the mountain of videotapes.

Among these videotapes, there were many with repeating Arabic numerals. But there were also differences. For example, there were tapes labeled a1, a2 to a6, and there were also tapes like the ones Shen Wei and his neighbor Fatty Ma had watched, simply labeled with Arabic numerals 1~6. There were also tapes labeled B1 to B6, C1~C6, and even *1~6...

Shen Wei looked at the dozens of categories of videotapes in front of him and fell into deep thought.

"The reality might be more complicated than I thought. Perhaps each set of tapes represents a different otherworld, and these different otherworlds are divided into six levels. Videotape numbers 1~6 represent the 1st to 6th levels of the otherworld, and who knows what kind of terrible monsters are imprisoned in the 6th level, the Meaning World?"

"So, these videotapes are a trap from beginning to end? Could it be that we were lured into playing the videotape while in the Tape 0 otherworld, and then we were brought into this otherworld? Why did we lose our memories and fall asleep? What's the trick here?..."

Shen Wei couldn't figure it out.

"Hey, kid, what are you dawdling about? Hurry up and find the videotape so we can return to the real world and escape this terrible place!"

The Evil God's Right Hand's repeated urging woke Shen Wei from his thoughts.

"You damned thing, you're really infuriating, interrupting my train of thought again. Doesn't your palm have red eye patterns? Can't you look yourself? I've already sorted all the videotapes on the ground, where is there any trace of Tape 0..."

Shen Wei was so angry that he wanted to slap the Evil God's Right Hand twice.

"Strange, where did Tape 0 go?"

The Evil God's Right Hand's tone was full of doubt.

"I don't know either. Maybe it was hidden by those two couples who have already become possessed. But this villa is so big, and there are ghosts hiding, how can we search! And those two possessed couples may not be hiding in the villa either. It would be too easy to hide a videotape anywhere outside the villa..."

Now, Shen Wei had several suspicions in his mind, but he couldn't be sure even after racking his brains!

"Right-san, raising soldiers for a thousand days is for using them in a moment of need. It's time for you to shine again..."

A malicious smile appeared on Shen Wei's face.

"What? You want to get something for nothing? I'm telling you, you've only given me two and a half years of life left, that's only enough for one simulation..."

The Evil God's Right Hand said with a wary expression.

"I don't care how many years, you have to help me find Tape 0. That's just how it is. The flow of time here is very fast, and my lifespan is limited. It's hard to spare more for you, otherwise, it will be difficult for me to maintain my combat power, and maybe I'll just drop dead on the ground..."

Shen Wei was forced to start slacking off directly.

"You're quite ugly, but you have quite a pretty dream. However, I can let you buy on credit during this special period. You have to pay it back later. And with interest, did you hear that?..."

"Ahhhhh..."

As soon as he heard that he had to pay it back, Shen Wei started playing dumb.

Although the Evil God's Right Hand was angry, it had no choice but to prioritize the overall situation, after all, this concerned its own safety. This was not a good place.

"Look at the red eye patterns on my palm, simulation start!"

My name is Shen Wei. When you hear my name, I may already be dead, because I was forced into an otherworld rule anomaly full of haunted villas. Here, I met all sorts of strange teammates. And I myself often get anxious because my intelligence is not enough, but fortunately, I have the help of my supremely intelligent right hand, who deduced a way out for me. And I need to find a Tape 0 to return to the real world.

To be honest, don't look at my big head and thick neck, Shen Wei; I'm not a rich man, I'm a cook. But when it comes to finding things, I'm the ultimate authority.

I quietly opened the door of the projection room and peeked out. That couple who looked like monstrous strange species were not squatting outside waiting for me.

Although I didn't see those two terrifying guys, I still felt a faint sense of unease in my heart. But none of that matters. The top priority is to find Tape 0. I'll search the 3rd floor first. There's a guest room, a projection room, and a bedroom on the 3rd floor, and there's also an attic on the roof.

I cautiously pushed open the door to the guest room. No one was living inside. All the items were also placed neatly. I rummaged through the chests and cabinets, but I didn't find any valuable clues.

I quietly backed out of it, then came to another bedroom. The door to this bedroom was tightly locked, which made me notice its difference.

My clever right hand opened the lock in a few simple steps. I approached cautiously, afraid of waking the evil spirit in its dream. But the reality proved that I was being superfluous. There was nothing scary inside, but there were some clues.
