Chapter 2 [? ? ? ]
The hatch is closed.

The game cabin was dark for a moment, then the lights came on, and a floating countdown lighted up directly above.

The countdown slowly beats to zero.

The game cabin was running, and there was a sound of starting a machine. Mirai Ichichi felt that the cabin was shrinking. Immediately, he felt as if he had been stabbed by a needle in the back of his neck, and his vision went dark.

A mechanical prompt sounded: [Data is being analyzed. ]
[It has been detected that the character 'Mirai Iichi' has been created in advance and is being loaded directly into the game. ]
[Login successful, nice to meet you, player number 001. ]
In the darkness, a bright blue light lit up, and a line of Japanese writing emerged: ["Second Life"]

After a few seconds, the handwriting slowly dimmed again, the clicking sound of the typewriter sounded, and Japanese handwriting appeared one by one:
[At the end of the twentieth century, Neon was facing the crisis of economic collapse. The real estate and financial industry collapsed, the long-term credit system was also facing destruction, the illusory bubble economy reached its peak, and society finally ushered in the era of the jungle. 】

[Whether you are at the bottom, middle level, or high level, we are all in a life-or-death moment. 】

【And you...】

There was only the last sentence in the darkness, and the ellipses at the end emerged one by one.

At the same time, countless small handwritings, dark or light, intertwined and crossed like meteors: [Detective], [Doctor], [Police], [Mafia], [Convenience Store Clerk], [Firefighter], [lawyer]……

Densely packed professions occupy every inch of darkness.

A line of fluorescent writing appeared, shattering these professions and emitting countless stars: [How will this life start? 】

The light words froze for a few seconds, then all the words disappeared. Darkness came back, and a dazzling light came on again.

[Welcome to "Second Life", this is a free open world and your second life. 】

【Games start. 】

All light disappeared and darkness returned.

Mirai Ichijo found that he could no longer sense the existence of the game cabin. He could only feel that he was floating in the water and sinking continuously. He couldn't help but said: "Wow, that's really cool."

Although the lines are very neon and outlandish, they are still exciting enough.

New rays of light emerged from the darkness and spread to form several lines of writing.

[In the intoxicating sense of security made of water, you have ushered in a second life. In this new life, you:]

【A.Both parents】

【B.Single-parent family】

[C. No father and no mother]

There is a line of very faint handwriting below the options, so faint that you can't even notice it if you don't stare: [Tip: Different options symbolize different plot branches and attributes, please choose carefully. 】

Looking at the options in the future, Ichijo chose without hesitation the fatherless and motherless one he was skilled in.

With the selection, new white writing appeared: [Your name is 'Ichijo Mirai', and you are an orphan whose parents both died. ]
[Not long ago, you learned a clue related to the death of your parents, so...]
The writing spread out, the darkness suddenly became thicker, the feeling of falling replaced the feeling of floating, and a strong wind blew.

A gunshot rang out suddenly, with a deafening sound of shattering glass.

The wind brought the smell of blood.

The darkness disappeared, and a falling trend that felt like the future suddenly stopped, spinning around and falling to the real place.

The blackened vision gradually became clearer, and at the same time, the sensation of touching soft leather objects under the body and hands became clearer, the smell of the stuffy fishy smell and gunpowder smell at the end of the nose, and...

"Hiss," Mirai Ichijo groaned. He didn't have time to open his eyes to see where he was lying, so he raised his elbow and pressed hard on his painful abdomen, and judged without thinking, "Gunshot wound."

Intense pain from a gunshot wound.

He glanced quickly and found that he was in a car, lying on the back seat of the car. He was wearing a black sportswear with white edges, a black baseball cap on his head, and the black fabric on his abdomen was smudged. A large patch of wet color.

In the center of the field of vision, a prompt lights up: [It has been detected that you are in a state of continuous blood loss. Please take painkillers as instructed to restore blood. ]
A faint fluorescent arrow lit up, spreading from a future right hand pressing his abdomen to his pants pocket, indicating the location of the painkillers.

It's a beginner's tutorial.

Since the pain is similar to that of being shot in the abdomen in real life, Mirai Ichijo has reason to suspect that this is not just a novice tutorial, but also a game official showing off loudly: Our pain level is the same as in reality, and the realism is great!

Great, deserves a one star rating.

He resisted the urge to turn over the wound to check the authenticity, and took out a red pill bottle from his pocket according to the tutorial instructions, and swallowed the only red pill inside.The pain disappears.

In the lower right corner, a prompt flashed away: [You have taken 'low-level painkillers' and will be pain-free for eight hours. Please pay attention to your body at all times to avoid passing away unconsciously. ]
Ichijo Mirai glanced at it, opened his clothes and confirmed that the painkillers could only relieve the pain and could not heal the wound. He simply applied pressure to confirm that there was no bullet left in the shallow wound, and then he simply tore off the fabric on the car seat and bandaged it to stop the bleeding.

In the upper left corner, a fluorescent light is flashing.

分别是时间:[第0年,06月.14日,03:02]
Location: [[-]th Ward, Tokyo. ]
Task: [Connect with the mysterious person. ]
The mission details are: [I heard that the mysterious figure has clues about the death of his parents. ]
What is flashing is a newly triggered inspection task, and the details are: [After a simple pain relief and hemostasis, you cheered up and decided to collect clues around you before the mysterious figure arrived. Please analyze the surroundings according to the instructions. ]
[Countdown: 3 minutes. ]
The time in the game is three o'clock in the morning, still late at night, the car is parked in an alley without street lights, and the interior is dark.

In the dimness, square fluorescent lights lit up, indicating objects that could be analyzed.

A future tip to look closest to you first: the ground beneath the seat at hand.

He reached down and touched a small gun.

The analysis prompt of the square shattered and turned into a detailed description: [A police pistol with six bullets, with residual heat, now belongs to you. ]
Police pistol, 'It's yours now'?
Combined with the gunshot wound in the abdomen, Ichigo raised his eyebrows, "Okay, 'Fatherless, Motherless' and 'Enemies of the Police', I'm good at both."

He removed the magazine to check for remaining ammunition, opened the safety to prevent it from misfiring, and then locked on the analysis pattern of the second shot near the driver's seat.

The fluorescent light illuminates a black police ID card. As the eyes look at it, the analysis pattern breaks and condenses into the ID photo of an old police officer in the air. Under the photo, there are words:

[Police Department Supplement]
[Taro Yamada]
This is a police officer named Taro Yamada. He looks about 50 years old, chubby, and looks honest and honest.

The third analysis pattern is also a police ID, and it also belongs to Taro Yamada, but it looks like a younger photo of him, and his position is in the police department.

The fourth analysis pattern is the bag on the side of the driver's seat, which contains white powdery items of unknown composition.

The fifth pattern is the suitcase on the passenger seat. The first layer of the suitcase is stuffed with beautifully packaged mooncakes. Under the mooncakes, there are layers of fragrant Yukichi Fukuzawa.

A total of 200 million.

There was also a note saying 'please cooperate with me, please bear with me'.

Mirai Ichijo stretched out his hand to check those Fukuzawa Yukichi, and naturally stuffed these things that belonged to him into various parts of his body.

He made a preliminary guess as to what kind of police officer this car belonged to: a gray guy who was not only not promoted but demoted even as he reached old age, and who had illegal transactions with black officers.

The sixth analysis pattern is hidden in the car body. It can only be found by following the fluorescence scattered in the air. The explanation after it is broken is very unbelievable:

[A time bomb with inferior ingredients. ]
[Forty kilograms of low-quality bombs are installed in this car. Even the air is filled with the smell of death. Once it explodes, the car will instantly break into pieces and disappear from this world with all traces. ]
[Countdown: one hour. ]
A future: "..."

No wonder there was a smell of gunpowder in the air. A forty-pound bomb could not only destroy the car, but also the people nearby.

All analysis patterns have been analyzed, and a task completion prompt appears in the lower right corner: [Clue collection completed, 'low-level painkillers' + 1 tablet, yen + 200 million. ]
The smell of gunpowder is interrupted, and the prompt appears again: [After 3 minutes of trying, you have experienced "Second Life" as colorful and extremely dangerous as the sea, you decide:]

[A. Exit the game and pay a courier fee of 1 yuan to return the game cabin. 】

【B.Continue playing. 】

A future: "?"

Do you still have to pay for the items you get?That must be impossible!

Even if you run away with a debt of 300 billion US dollars, you will still run away with the game cabin in the future!
He decisively chose B.

The prompts dispersed and the smell of gunpowder hit.

In the darkness outside the car, the crisp footsteps of leather shoes came from far and near.

The car door was open, and in the future I could see a flickering light of fire approaching slowly in the darkness outside the car.

It's the light of a cigarette butt.

The fire stopped a few meters away from the car.

Mirai Ichijo saw the owner of the cigarette butt: a man wearing a long black trench coat and long silver hair. At first glance, he looked like a typical NPC that would appear in a typical game.

On top of the silver-haired man's head is: [? ? ? ]
 A single female owner of the garden.
