The second book is not an invincible novel, it has no system, and the protagonist's IQ is online. The novel is written in a horror style and is not for the faint of heart.

⑴ Is it possible that "sheep" represents the story of "the wolf is coming"? The kid who was tending the sheep lied many times and no one helped him, so there is a "lie" in the game of "sheep" and it is a game of "lying". ⑵ "Dog" may represent loyalty. Just like in the harpoon game just now, if they had not cooperated together, none of them would be alive now, so is it possible "cooperation"? ⑶ "I can't just watch you die."

I'm here - please read our Xiaobai🙌 no cp male protagonist article. Strange stories about rules, national destiny, and group portraits. Strange creatures invade the earth, randomly select players from each country and give them special powers, and then throw them into dangerous ghost stories. The protagonist has no superpowers due to some unknown reasons. When entering the ghost story, he can only rely on his clever little mind to take one step at a time and grow up little by little in the ghost story. There are cerebral stories, unconventional and cool stories, the writing is good, the plot is very smooth and has no poisonous points, no ambiguity, yy, or subversion plots. Some of the weird stories in the front have some minor flaws. Overall, it is very good and worth watching!
