At 5:30 p. m. in the evening, at Tang Yu's house in Harmony District.
"Happy birthday, Little Yu."
They were clearly celebrating his birthday, but Tang Yu couldn't see any happy expressions on his parents 'faces. It was as if the entire family was covered in dark clouds.
It had been several years since he transmigrated, so Tang Yu naturally knew why.
The birthday cake had the words 'Dear Tang Yu, Happy 18th Birthday' written on it.
For the people of this world, the age of eighteen could be the beginning of the peak of life, or the beginning of a nightmare.
This was a parallel world on the blue planet, no different from the world Tang Yu used to live in.
However, once night fell, a portion of the world's adults over the age of eighteen would automatically enter an independent space and begin a life and death hide-and-seek challenge!
Yes, it was hide-and-seek, but it was not a game, but a life and death battle!
Most of the people who participated in the game of hide-and-seek were " dodgers ", and a small number of them were " discoverers ". They were collectively known as challengers!
As the name implied, the dodger was to hide and not be discovered, and the discoverer was to find the dodger.
The worst thing was that once the person who discovered it found it, the person who discovered it would not hesitate to swing his knife at the person who avoided it!
Because, as the discoverer, he could only get a higher rating at the end of the challenge if he could deal damage or kill the evader.
As for those who avoided it, they had to try their best to survive until the end. If they survived or killed the person who discovered it, they could also obtain a higher evaluation.
Humans who entered the hide-and-seek space would abandon all ethics and laws and use any means to improve their own evaluation.
The higher the evaluation, the more rewards!
These rewards included wealth, special items, physical attributes, and even superpowers!
At first, Tang Yu found it hard to believe. However, there was a challenger in his family, Tang Yu's older brother, Tang Xing!
His father said to Tang Yu with a serious expression,""Xiao Yu, whether you are a challenger or not will depend on tonight.”
The mother tried to ease the atmosphere." Dad, don't be so serious. Didn't a survey say that challengers only make up 10% of the total number of people? We already have a challenger. It's very likely that Xiao Yu isn't one of them.”
Tang Xing, who was three years older than Tang Yu, warned his younger brother seriously.
"Xiao Yu, if you become the challenger tonight, you must remember not to trust anyone in the hide-and-seek space! If you are a dodger, no matter what happens, do not leave your range of movement. Otherwise, your coordinates will appear in everyone's sight!”
"And most importantly, don't be soft-hearted!" Tang Xing sighed.”
Tang Yu looked at his brother's empty sleeve. Tang Xing's left arm had already been amputated.
"I was too soft-hearted back then. I couldn't bear to kill the villain who discovered me but couldn't defeat me, so he counterattacked and cut off my arm." This is a lesson you must remember!”
" I'll remember it, Brother!" Tang Yu smiled. I might not even be the challenger."
"It better not be!" his father said.
The challengers were a group of people who walked on the edge of a knife, and many of them died young.
That was why the family was so worried. They already had Tang Xing who made them worry all day long. They were really afraid of another one.
"Dad, Mom, Brother, don't worry. Even if it's a challenger, I'm fine with it! Eat the cake!"
Everyone ate the cake with a sad face and looked at the clock on the wall from time to time.
If a person was a challenger, he would enter the hide-and-seek space for the first time on the day he came of age.
From that day onwards, they would enter once every seven days.
Every time he entered, he would come back at six o'clock the next morning.
Of course, that was if the challenger was still alive.
If he died in the hide-and-seek space, he was really dead.
If he was injured, then he was really injured. It was just like his brother, Tang Xing, who had lost his arm.
Her brother, Tang Xing, entered every Friday, and today was Saturday.
In fact, Tang Yu had already looked up a lot of information and strategies for playing hide-and-seek online.
Before the day of adulthood, no one knew if they would become challengers.
As the minute hand reached 12, it was six o'clock sharp.
When the family members 'gazes returned to Tang Yu's seat from the clock, Tang Yu had already disappeared.
"He went, sigh…"
His father let out a long sigh, unable to calm down.
"This child is usually very obedient. I wonder if he can be ruthless to his enemies…" his mother said worriedly.
Tang Xing clenched his only fist, which was actually surrounded by faint electric currents." I believe in my brother. He can do it!”
Tang Yu was eating his cake when he suddenly saw his vision go black.
When he saw light again, he realized that it was a screen, and the surroundings were filled with a mysterious, pitch-black space.
