I Got My Cheat Skill by Acting My Way into a Horror Protagonist Role Chapter 94

[System, system, notify Zero!!]

[...Re...ceiving...]

[I'm going into that instance too!—]

He had become the variable himself, the very variable that would change everything.

As for how terrifying the chain reaction this would cause, Xiao Gui'an had no idea.

He only knew that if it weren't for him, Xu Zisheng wouldn't have come to Chuancheng, and wouldn't have been dragged into this unknown instance.

If this was supposed to be a situation Xu Zisheng would face later, but his fate had been accelerated because of him, what kind of dangerous predicament would Xu Zisheng find himself in?

Rushing out of the car, Xiao Gui'an took the stairs two at a time, running up to his Rented Room.

[This... is not... the host's... responsibility... Everything is... the Chosen Ones of Fate's choice... The curse mark... can trigger... anywhere...]

Xiao Gui'an ran toward the balcony, "I'll only ask you one question, System—if I go in, will Xu Zisheng's chances of clearing this unknown instance increase?"

[...Insufficient data... cannot calculate precise numbers... Based on previous data analysis... clearance probability would increase by approximately 12.5%...]

[According to... rules... host... should remain in the real world... You... will face 63.26% increased risk...]

[...Host... your condition is special... cannot predict how unknown instance... will affect you... with unknown consequences...]

Pulling out the so-called 'Admission Ticket' from his pocket, the white capsule seemed to contain living flesh and blood, now slightly warm and swelling in Xiao Gui'an's palm.

He selectively ignored the latter half of the Proxy System's risk assessment, closed his eyes, and directly tossed the capsule into his mouth.

"That's pretty good, isn't it? At least it's over 10%!"

When profits reach 10%, people start getting restless.

"Not to mention it's 2.5% over that—" The Black-haired Youth smiled indifferently, his canine teeth appearing sharp and prominent. Sticking your neck out for your Good Brother is what a real man should do.

"Every minute we delay now increases the chance of uncontrollable events happening, doesn't it?

Do you have any better solutions right now? What about it, have you contacted headquarters? The Chosen Ones of Fate might die—don't you care about that either?

If you need eyes to watch over the Chosen Ones of Fate, aren't I the perfect candidate?

Or is everything still under your control, and you know nothing will go wrong?"

After this barrage of questions, the Proxy System fell silent unusually, not answering a single one.

Xiao Gui'an could feel the capsule dissolving rapidly inside his body, seeping into his bloodstream, then slowly spreading toward his brain.

[...Please... host... enter the game-protection pod... put on the game helmet...] The Proxy System finally spoke again.

It protected Xiao Gui'an's soul, preventing that power from invading his brain, [Beginning... unknown instance... positioning... soul... linking...]

Probably the door to that 'Arena' had already closed by now, and Xiao Gui'an's situation was special, so the only way was to forcibly tear open a rift by consuming the 'Admission Ticket'.

Using the game-protection pod and helmet could somewhat reduce the risks.

There was no predicting what might happen during this process.

Boundless darkness swallowed Xiao Gui'an.

He experienced again the sensation of being dragged by the system through world barriers—the world spinning, feeling as if his soul was immersed in ten thousand miles of ice this time, everything surrounding him desolate and deathly silent.

[...Positioning... transmission... successful...]

It was the Proxy System.

『...Beep... Detected unknown intruder... soul wavelength difficult to analyze... special status... cannot probe... possesses certain danger... preparing elimination...』

Another deeper mechanical voice sounded, as if going through routine procedures, judging Xiao Gui'an as an intruder and treating him with hostility.

[Holds... 'Admission Ticket'!... Not intruder...]

The Proxy System protected Xiao Gui'an.

『Detected 'Admission Ticket'... Now changing identity judgment... Confirming [Player] identity... Preparing to send instance mission... Welcome to...』

[Judgment error! Judgment error!...] The Proxy System seemed agitated, not stuttering for once, [Not 『Player』 identity! Should be positioned as 『Actor』, subordinate to NPC!!...]

『Error!... Should be... [Player]!』

[...Instance... NPC!...]

『Play...er!』

[...NPC... I... say... is NPC...』

The two voices refused to yield to each other, then seemed to engage in a frantic data battle, data streams wildly clashing against each other.

When Xiao Gui'an woke from that chaotic state, he found himself standing before an unnamed building shrouded in gray, misty fog.

His game panel displayed—

[Your current identity is 『Actor NPC』... You need to complete player missions, failure means elimination...]

[Your current identity is player 『Gui Yi』, your status is [S] rank... Error... Your current identity is [Writer], your status is [D] rank...]

Xiao Gui'an: Huh???

Is the system having a seizure???
