The next day, Jinling University, dormitory.

Li Qianyi lay in bed and turned on his phone.

Welcome back, dear lost souls.

[Followed by bug fixes, adjustments, and updates]

[The town of Anning operates on a fixed schedule of seven action cycles per night. The first three cycles occur before midnight, and the 'Crimson Moon' will descend at the start of the fourth cycle.]

Enjoy the game!

"Although the daytime travel time has become shorter, the nighttime travel time has become longer."

"In this way, two days in my real life correspond exactly to one day in Anning Town."

Li Qianyi looked towards the game.

[Jack Belmont disappeared again after having dinner with you; you know he must have gone to meet his mistress again.]

So what do you plan to do before midnight?

After receiving a miraculous clue from the fortune teller Klein Moretti, Li Qianyi had a guess in his mind.

But whether the guess is correct still needs to be verified.

You learn from Jack Belmont that there is a cemetery on the outskirts of Anning, and you suspect that there may be traces of cult activity there, so you decide to go to the cemetery to check it out before nightfall.

[Action Ability -1, Exploration Ability -1]

Current exploration ability: 6/7

Current Action Points: 6/7

The cemetery is located on the edge of Anning Town. Under the watchful gaze of '■■■■', the surroundings are so quiet that it seems even the wind avoids this place.

The tombstone stands silently, and you linger in the sparse shadows of the trees, like countless whispers without echo.

At first, you didn't notice anything, until your "supernatural intuition" sensed an unknown power, and you instinctively went to the source of that power.

Here stand three tombstones near the edge of the Misty Forest, isolated from the others. You want to walk closer and see the names in them.

Just then, a blurry figure emerged from behind the tombstone.

You have been attacked by an "unnamed undead".

What are your plans?

Option A: Kneel down and beg for mercy

[Option B: Use the Holy Light Bullet from your pistol to fire]

[Choose C: Use Shadow Spikes]

[Option D: Escape]

"Kneeling down and begging for mercy is not dignified, and using Holy Light Bullets is likely to attract other people."

Li Qianyi chose C and attacked with Shadow Spikes first.

[You decisively activated "Shadow Spikes," and countless sharp blades shot out from beneath your feet, piercing towards the towering, nameless undead.]

However, an inexplicable protection enveloped it, rendering your attacks utterly futile, like a mud ox sinking into the sea, unable to break through that miraculous shield.

The pitiful spirit of the dead has lost all human reason; it has ripped out your heart.

【You are dead】

[Health -3, Sanity -3]

Without hesitation, Li Qianyi pressed the button on the pocket watch, the hands reversed, and time flowed backward.

You've arrived before the tombstone. What do you plan to do this time?

This time, Li Qianyi chose option D: escape.

However, he was also very excited.

Just as he had guessed, this place indeed contained 'fragments of a miracle'.

According to the tips of Amon and fortune teller Klein Moretti.

This peaceful town is built from the ruins of the Garden of Eden.

The power of the "miracle" comes from Klein Moretti in his "Mysterious Servant" phase.

His life was full of ups and downs, and full of mystery and wonder.

But what truly anchors the miracle of his humanity is not the great achievements he later accomplished, but the regrets he failed to fulfill.

So the brother and sister in the theater were the ones who had made a promise to see the play "The Return of the Earl" but never got to.

Meanwhile, at the cemetery, Li Qianyi suspected that the reflection of that gentle yet weary voice, which would never be heard again, was that of Dunn Smith.

These miraculous and regrettable moments have all been distorted and reshaped in some way by the "Primordial God," sinking into this seemingly plausible story.

You have encountered a 'wandering spirit'.

[You have triggered the side quest: The Wandering Soul]

You discovered a lingering spirit in the cemetery of Anning Town. It seems to be protected by an extraordinary power, yet it is also bound by an unknown force, preventing it from finding peace.

[Mission Requirements: Find a 'dusty bronze whistle' and blow it at nightfall to send this lonely spirit back to the embrace of 'eternal darkness'.]

[Mission Clue: You might want to talk to the gravedigger near the cemetery; he might know something.]

[Quest Rewards: 1/9 Fragment of a Miracle, 200 Divine Faith, 2 Blasphemy Powers, +10% Main Story Contribution]

"This is it." Li Qianyi suppressed his excitement.

In this way, all the clues can be followed.

Li Qianyi composed himself and continued playing the game.

【clang!】

As the church bells rang, a crimson full moon dispelled the darkness and enveloped the entire town of Anning.

[The '■■■■' temporarily retires, while the 'Great Mother' casts her gaze upon them]

You have entered the Red Queen's fantasy world.

Did you use the 'Red Queen's Invitation (Fake)'?

【Yes】

You've transformed into a circus lion (Tom)

[Note: Your fake Red Queen Invitation is about to expire. Please obtain the real Red Queen Invitation as soon as possible.]

Bathed in the crimson moonlight, you looked around but couldn't see a single strange creature.

The entire park seemed to have been cleared out by some force; even the wind seemed to have slowed its pace.

[Until you see the eight large characters below the Red Queen's castle: "Black cats lurking, beware of fire!"]

"This person's power is still too terrifying."

A person's name, a tree's shadow.

The arrival of that being directly led to the destruction of the Garden of Eden.

Even if we don't know how many years have passed or how many restructurings have occurred.

It seems that the corresponding fears still remain imprinted on this bizarre fantasy paradise.

Without hesitation, Li Qianyi chose to go to the Red Queen's Garden first.

You traveled to the Red Queen's garden, a magnificent sea of ​​roses. Moonlight and crimson intertwined, and roses bloomed silently in the night, their beauty almost eerie.

As you ventured deeper into the path, you soon found a peculiar rose among a thicket of thorns. Its buds were silvery-white, and dark red sap flowed from the veins of its leaves, like congealed blood or the light of a sleeping moon.

You have found a 'Mutant Moon Rose'. Do you wish to pick it?

【Yes】

You have obtained 'Mutated Moon Rose' *1

"Isn't this too easy?"

This game has always been full of malice towards its players.

Now I can walk directly into this garden without any hindrance and get what I want.

This made Li Qianyi feel somewhat unreal.

However, he soon realized he had been too optimistic.

[Warning: The Garden Guardian is awakening because you picked the 'Mutant Moon Rose'.]

[You see the vines twining among the thorns and flowers seem to come alive, the soil churns, and a figure wrapped in layers of bandages slowly rises from the roots of the rose.]

His body was contorted, and his bandages were filled with blooming roses, their petals as red as blood, gleaming eerily in the moonlight.

You encounter the garden guardian, 'The Bound Rose Mummy'.

The Bound Rose Mummy

[Is the mummy, wrapped in bandages and adorned with roses, the most loyal guardian of the Red Queen's Gardens, or some restless, imprisoned remnant?]
