I’m Really Scared
Chapter 214: The Zoo

There was no doubt that as a long-running company always maintaining cooperation with various forces and prioritizing efficiency, the strength of "Free Logistics" was undeniable.

After investigating Guan Shan's identity and strength, the manager quickly devised a plan and called in a B-level "courier."

Yes, based on Guan Shan's past performance, especially the deaths of people like Bian Xingyun, the manager reasonably judged that his current strength had already transcended C-level and likely touched the edge of A-level with that Panspirit Object.

Therefore, the B-level person the manager called in was not just any B-level but a famous elemental Esper.

An inherently strong type, awakening at B-level!

However, even among elementals, there were differences in talent. Being born as a B-level did not mean one would necessarily advance further; some might stay at B-level their whole life.

The one the manager called in had been stuck at B-level for over ten years, unable to cross into A-level.

But even so, he was among the top at B-level.

Even if Guan Shan used that Panspirit Object, he would have no chance of winning!

"You cost me so many men and still want to leave my territory unscathed. If this gets out, where would my face go as Zhang Xinglong?"

The manager sneered twice, "Even if the Special Security Group comes for me, I must take you down!"

Though he spoke so boldly in front of his subordinates, he knew in his heart that the real reason for his determination was that someone from the black market had their eye on that Panspirit Object.

And the buyer's identity was not low. According to reliable information, they were likely from the "Heavenly Curtain."

As long as he could please the "Heavenly Curtain," the Special Security Group would be no problem...

Manager Zhang was determined to get it!

However, the B-level elemental Esper was currently on a mission transporting a Panspirit Object and would need to return before they could act.

"Two more days... that's the deadline for this guy!"

Manager Zhang squinted at the photo of Guan Shan on the documents.

[Breakthrough Mission: The Zoo (Activated)]

[Players, please follow the prompt to the designated location for scene simulation]

Two days later, a well-prepared Guan Shan stood in his living room, waiting for the breakthrough mission to start at midnight.

Since celebrating his birthday, Shen Dinghua had been staying at her own home due to her parents' return and had persuaded them to join Guan Shan in moving to Shanghai to join Li Zhiying's new newspaper.

Guan Shan still felt a bit guilty because Shen Dinghua had decided to become a photographer because Guan Shan said he wanted to be a journalist.

But now, due to the simulator, his time for normal journalistic work was decreasing, and it was hard to take Shen Dinghua to work with him.

Shen Dinghua, however, firmly believed in his story of being invited by the authorities to participate in important secret missions and did not complain about his lack of time. But because of this, Guan Shan felt even more guilty.

"This can't go on... I need to talk to Xiao Shen about this."

Guan Shan sighed.

An Esper's identity needed to be kept secret, but for close relatives, there was no need.

For humane reasons, it was not difficult for someone who spent intimate time daily to notice anomalies. To prevent more troublesome situations, they opted to inform relatives, who then had to sign a confidentiality agreement and be closely monitored.

In fact, even without telling others his identity, Shen Dinghua was still under surveillance.

Although officially for protection, everyone knew what it really meant.

Guan Shan felt it was time to come clean; otherwise, always deceiving Shen Dinghua made him feel guilty.

He took a deep breath and slowly exhaled.

Everything before him changed again, but unlike last time, it did not turn pitch black. Instead, it was clearly midnight, yet suddenly brightened, with a blinding light illuminating everything.

Guan Shan felt a sudden brightness (literally) before the surrounding environment underwent a complete transformation.

He was no longer in his living room but on a tree-lined path.

"Cicadas chirping—cicadas chirping—"

The piercing sound of cicadas filled the air. Warm sunlight poured down from above, filtering through the leaves, creating dappled light on the ground.

A gentle breeze blew, bringing a hint of summer warmth, accompanied by the rustling of treetops.

Wait, summer? Guan Shan was stunned, not just because it was genuinely winter in reality, but also because the simulator, known for its eerie filters, had suddenly changed...

The simulator always turned day into night; now it turned night into day!

So bright, so warm, so... normal! The previous scenes, either eerie and spooky or filled with blood and flesh, starkly contrasted with the current scene, bringing a tear to Guan Shan's eye.

Could it be that the simulator really heard his birthday wish and decided to lower the difficulty?

Guan Shan was almost moved to tears.

At the same time, the familiar mechanical voice began to sound again.

[Scene scan completed, breakthrough mission activated]

[A horror game: The Zoo has been generated]

[Plot loaded!]

[This appears to be an ordinary zoo. Except for the poor business, its facilities are complete, new, clean, and beautiful. Attracted by its appearance and promotion, you decided to relax during the holiday—what better choice than to see those cute little animals? However, as soon as you step into the zoo, you find a strange piece of paper left by a visitor…]

[*Note: Only by killing the final BOSS can you end this simulation!]

The words "horror game" were so glaring that they instantly dispelled the trace of gratitude in Guan Shan's heart.

Indeed, this was still the Horror Game Simulator.

Despite the seemingly pleasant setting, the core must have remained unchanged.

Guan Shan realized he might have been happy too soon.

Usually, if a horror game starts with a warm scene, it means more caution is needed...

After the warmth, there would often be more terrifying and bizarre plots and elements.

Guan Shan took a deep breath, first pulling out the mask, Demon Blade, and pistol: "Alright, I've been through so many scenarios. Just a twist, I can handle it!"

He walked along the tree-lined path until he saw the zoo entrance.

There was no one at the ticket booth. Guan Shan cautiously checked around and indeed found a damaged piece of paper.
