March 17, 2022, 7:44 p.m.

A dark red ray of moonlight pierced through the dense clouds and fell to the ground.

The scarlet moonlight shrouded the farmland, hills, rivers, and lakes, covering the bustling city.

Under the scarlet moonlight, modern high-rise buildings gradually dilapidated and decayed, and high-precision electronic equipment was scrapped under the action of strange forces, reduced to broken copper and iron.

The street lamp on the side of the street flickered twice, and finally it couldn't resist the erosion of the unknown force, and made a "zizi" electric sound, and finally "click!" sounded, like a breath, and dimmed.

The world has become dark.

In an instant, civilization seemed to go back centuries.

On the streets, due to the sudden collapse of vehicles, the machines that have lost their control have become crazy monsters, rampage frantically, and finally "boom", a violent explosion occurs, emitting scorching light and heat, enveloping and swallowing people.

Exclamation, screaming, hissing, swearing...

The whole city was in a bloody panic.

What was supposed to be a romantic and prosperous night was a chaotic scene.

There is no other light in the world, only the blood moon in the sky, which is exceptionally bright.

In the endless darkness, or float out, or get out, or crawl out, or run out... Countless figures of all kinds.

Huge, tiny, twisted, hideous....

In the scarlet moonlight, silently weave through the chaotic crowd.

Everyone was still in grief, panic, and helplessness, but they didn't know that the sickle of death had quietly kissed their necks.

Someone saw the appearance of "it", and before dying, they only had time to let out a final exclamation: "

Strange... Monster !!

"....

The milky white mist enveloped a thin girl.

The dark black trench coat swayed up and down, the light mist caressing her cheeks, her eyes were closed, her brow was furrowed, and fine sweat overflowed from her forehead, as if she was enduring great pain.

Her consciousness was in chaos.

[Dear players, welcome to the 'Lost City', congratulations on being chosen by the gods to become the chosen one!]

Lu Qingwu opened his eyes suddenly.

Her eyes were engulfed in black mist, and there were no whites in her pupils, not even the eyeballs.

In her eyes, only a thick mist as thick as ink remained, lining her pale and bloodless face, which looked a little weird and terrifying.

She

frowned, puzzled as she looked around at the white mist, not knowing where she was.

She remembers taking the subway back to school in the evening after finishing her part-time job from downtown.

Soon after leaving the subway station, she received a message from her roommate, asking her to help bring the cake.

Then, she took a shortcut to the snack street... After that, she didn't remember anything.

Lu Qingwu's eyes were slightly cold, and his expression was a little serious.

She realized that there might be a gap in her memory.

She began to try to remember, but a dull pain kept coming from her head, preventing her from thinking.

Moreover, her eyes were like someone had been poured a basin of boiling water, burning, burning, swollen and painful!

She clenched her teeth, endured the pain, and slowly took out her mobile phone from her pocket, trying to contact others, but found that...

Her phone, broken.

The screen won't light up anyway. But she remembers that before she fell unconscious, her phone clearly had about 40% battery left.

In addition, the case of the mobile phone was damaged to varying degrees, and even the metal ring attached to the case was rusty.

She spun around twice at random, and the ring actually broke with a "pound".

- Something is wrong.

Her mobile phone, although not new, was bought by her father when she graduated from high school.

So far, it has only been less than two years.

And she has always protected it well, never let the phone bump into it, so that nearly two years have passed, and even the tempered film on the phone has not been damaged for half a minute, and it looks like new.

She didn't know how long she had been unconscious.

But no matter how long it takes, a smartphone that looks brand new will naturally be damaged to this extent.

Through the screen of her phone, she saw what she looked like.

His face was pale and bloodless.

In the hollow eye sockets, there was only a black mist that kept tumbling, on a face as pale as paper, like the eyes of an abyss demon.

The tear-like mole under the corner of her left eye became more and more conspicuous and infiltrating -

she looked like a ghost.

[Dear player, I am preparing to make a choice of fate for you-]

A cold and indifferent voice echoed in the space, and Lu Qingwu frowned.

Suddenly

, the space shuddered violently, and the milky white mist churned.

"Boom..."

With a few thunderous sounds, the milky white mist gradually dispersed, and from the void, a huge roulette wheel slowly emerged -

[Wheel of Fortune].

Legend has it that before there was heaven and earth, the world was dark.

The Creator grabbed a ray of light, placed it above the darkness, and woven it into the sun, moon, and stars.

The sun is the day, the moon is the night, and the world has since had light and sky, darkness and day.

Subsequently, the Creator created all living beings under the sky.

He holds life in his left hand and luck in his right hand, casting the wheel of destiny, engraved the fate of all things in the world on the wheel, the gears of fate turning, and the cycle of life changes.

The god who took over the fate from the hands of the Creator dances on the wheel of fate, driving the rotation of the fortunes of all beings....

Lu Qingwu remembered that when she was very young, she had heard her grandmother tell the story of "the creation of the gods".

And at this moment, the wheel of fate in that story appeared in front of her.

On this huge roulette wheel, there are large and small gears, which rotate at high speed, like a life that is always rushing and never stopping.

The dark purple starry sky, the background color of the roulette wheel, is vast, like the deep mystery of the universe.

At the top of the roulette wheel is a majestic golden lion, on the lower right is a smiling jackal made of crimson metal, and on the lower left is an ancient bronze serpent, and the scarlet gem pupils are staring at you for a moment, making you unconsciously surrender and fear.

Under the rotation of the gears, the surface of the roulette wheel is constantly changing, and the content of the wheel is constantly changing.

The words pointed by the golden hands are constantly changing, deriving, and developing from the ancient abstract ghost drawings, and from the hieroglyphs, they are constantly strange, familiar, and strange

Lu Qingwu silently watched these changes.

To be honest, all this in front of her is not something she can understand.

It feels like being in a 5D holographic projection hall -

if it weren't for the power of technology, it would only mean that... The world has undergone changes that she didn't know.

It's like the machine prompt that appeared in my head just now, mentioning "player", "lost city"... Her eyes sparkled.

It can't be a game called "The Lost City" that invades the real world, right?"

The roulette wheel made a dull sound, and the ground she was standing on shook with it.

The entire space was shaking violently.

Eventually, the roulette wheel stopped, and the contents of the board were finally frozen – the complex roulette wheel

was finally divided into nine sections.

Viewed clockwise from directly above, the patterns on the roulette wheel are: a small man, a small man with a hat, a small man, a small man, and a black area.

In terms of ratio, "little people" have the most patterns, accounting for about 50%, followed by "little people with hats" (25%), "beasts that don't know what they are" (12.5%), "little people with wings" (11.5%), and finally "black areas" (1%).

[Dear players, please start drawing your own fate!]

"Draw your fate?" Lu Qingwu frowned.

Such a thing can decide her fate?

... It was the funniest joke she'd ever heard this year.

But in the next moment, her legs walked uncontrollably towards the [Wheel of Fortune].

It was as if there were really a pair of invisible hands manipulating her body, and she was a marionette in the other party's hands, allowing the other party to knead and pinch it flat.

An inexplicable force forced her forward, and she staggered to her feet, finally standing in front of the roulette wheel.

Her hand was under control on the roulette wheel -

no matter how she restrained it, it was as if it had been bewitched, and the next moment, she pushed down hard and turned the wheel violently.

The

wheels of the roulette wheel began to roll, and the starry backdrop rotated with it.

If you keep staring, you will feel dizziness and dull pain in your head.

The golden hands are on the dark purple roulette wheel, and they pass over the little people, the little people in hats, the little beasts, the little people with wings...

Finally, it landed in a dark black area and stopped.

Immediately after, the wheel of fortune suddenly emitted a light golden light, and these lights poured into Lu Qingwu's body like a torrent.

Majestic power rampaged through her, as if it was about to tear her apart.

The black mist in her eye sockets began to churn continuously, and the pain made her want to pull her eyes out!

Under such power, she was small and powerless.

She could only hold her head, forcing herself to wake up and not lose consciousness again under the pain.

For a long time, the cold voice sounded in my head again:

[Dear player, the choice of fate has been completed, and you are about to land in the "Lost City"!] [

The land of twilight, the lost boundless city, the demons are whispering, the gods are crying... Is it the sunset of hell or the dawn of the abyss?]

[Happy playing!].
