Chapter 2 Card Draw System
The thing was chasing her, its tentacles leaving long trails of slime on the ground, its limbs scratching at the floor tiles, baring its teeth and staring at the back of her head, looking like it wanted to devour her clean the next second.

It was drooling, it was extremely hungry.

An Jing dared not turn around.

She could hear her breathing becoming labored, and at the same time, her calf muscles were twitching, though the twitching was slowing down.

She knew she couldn't outlast this mysterious thing.

It was neither alive nor dead, but more like some kind of erroneous existence—not belonging to this world, yet clinging to her desperately.

"If I keep running like this, I'll die." She gritted her teeth, her eyes scanning the ever-changing corridors on both sides, thinking of a new strategy.

The villa, originally decorated in a modern style, has suddenly turned into some strange space, with blood-red patterns floating on the walls, a crooked door, and a staircase that seems to lead to the ceiling.

There's no time to hesitate.

She pushed open the door on the left; the paint on the door was mottled, and its color resembled dried blood.

With a swift movement, she slipped inside, slammed the door shut, and locked it.

Let it be.

The thing outside seemed to be blocked by the room; it pressed itself against the crack in the door, panting heavily, its tentacles pounding against the door panel with a clattering sound. But it just wouldn't dare to come in.

Seeing this, An Jing leaned against the back of the door, slid down little by little, and gasped for breath.

Cold sweat soaked her thin sun-protective jacket, and An Jing covered her head.

Judging from the thing's reaction, it couldn't get in, and she's now lucky to be alive.

This room... should be a safe house.

She glanced around the room. It was simple and rustic, with only a dim chandelier, a ceramic bottle, and a wooden frame that looked like a remnant of an old altar.

He slowly exhaled, his palms sweating profusely.

How could something like this happen?

An Jing's expression turned painful as she thought of her classmate's miserable state and helplessly covered her face.

What was said in the news is true.

The so-called "mysterious world" has truly arrived.

"The real world is merging with the unknown. Once a mysterious magnetic field is generated, common sense will break down, living beings will be contaminated, and souls will be easily devoured..."

She estimated that of the thirty-six students in the class, at least twenty had died in that instant.

Most of her classmates were playing in the pool, and she saw that there was no one outside.

The remaining few survivors are simply waiting for their turn.

“…We don’t know when the Lightbearer from Special Operations 404 will arrive,” she whispered. “We don’t know when they’ll be able to detect this place.”

The Special Service Department was specifically tasked with handling mysterious incidents, but in An Jing's eyes, by the time they arrived, he would be close to death.

She just finished her college entrance exams...

But when she saw the mysterious news before, she was very interested and read a lot of related posts and news, both fake and real.

Therefore, it is understood that even if one unfortunately enters a mysterious magnetic field, there is still a chance to survive.

That's a safe house.

The mysterious magnetic field cannot completely cover an area at once. The area where the mysterious creatures can move is only within the magnetic field. Therefore, they can only watch the areas not covered by the magnetic field but cannot pass through them. These uncovered corners are called safe houses.

She kept running away, searching for places that differed from the strange magnetic field that had already formed.

After being chased for so long, this door is the only one that looks different, but it's also somewhat eerie.

"Let's hang in there a little longer," she said, forcing herself to stay awake.

The safe house is only temporarily safe. Once the mysterious magnetic field covers it, the safe house will become a rat trap, and she will become the next meal for the mysterious creatures.

At this moment, after calming down temporarily, An Jing keenly sensed that something was wrong. After she entered the room, a sense of oppression suddenly rose up inside.

It felt like something was watching her.

Leaning warily against the door, her gaze fell upon the flowerpots in the room, and in that instant, she felt as if her head had been hit by a hammer.

A sharp pain suddenly struck.

Tinnitus, dizziness, a feeling of consciousness being ripped from her body, constantly being pulled and tugged at—her body went limp, and she collapsed to the ground, desperately trying to bite her tongue to stay awake, only to find that even her fingers felt alien. She knew this was mental pollution from a mysterious magnetic field.

Once influenced, they lose their rationality and become assimilated into the mysterious.

"The Supreme Star, ever-responsive. Exorcising evil and binding demons, protecting life and safeguarding the body..."

She trembled as she chanted a protective incantation. The An family had been Taoists for generations, and An Jing had been influenced by them since childhood. At this point, she was desperate and had no other choice.

"Wisdom is clear and bright, the mind is at peace. The three souls are eternal, the spirit is never lost..."

May the Primordial Celestial Lord protect me! Once I survive, I will offer incense to you.

I don't know if it was just my imagination, but as I repeated the incantation, my headache really did gradually lessen.

Suddenly, a powerful, indescribable sensation erupted from the ceramic bottle!

It felt like something conscious had awakened from its slumber and was looking at her with malice.

The next second, a creature emanating black mist sprang out of the bottle with a "pop." Its form was blurry, and its features were indistinct, but it spoke in a hoarse yet excited voice:

"Human! You have passed my test!"

An Jing: "?"

Before she could speak, the creature swiftly entered her body like liquid.

"Wait!" she cried out instinctively, hugging herself. "What are you doing!"

Is she about to be mysteriously parasitized?
Strangely, her consciousness was not replaced.

She remained herself, capable of movement and thought, and did not feel controlled.

But before she could even catch her breath, countless images suddenly flashed through her mind.

All of them are...cards?

Strange cards fluttered before her eyes, depicting blurry figures, unknown creatures, ancient spells, and a blank card that exuded a chilling aura.

A line of text pops up in the center of the card:

[The Card-Drawing Godhood System is now bound!]

You now have ten chances to draw cards. Would you like to use them?

【1. To be used later】

【2. Use now】

An Jing: "?"

No, what do you mean? She was parasitized by a bottle and then gained a gacha system?
"...Are there any differences between the two options, please tell me?"

no respond.

The window was still flashing, and there were only two options: choose or not choose.

An Jing looked at the two options, but suddenly a thought popped into her head, and a sentence inexplicably came to mind:
"...What cards are in the gacha pool?"

She really couldn't hold back.

I thought there would be no response, but to my surprise, the consciousness that had been swirling in my mind suddenly jolted, and a cold, electronic voice appeared:

[This system's card pool is divided into five tiers, from one star to five stars. The card contents are as follows:]

[One-Star Card: Entertainment/Enticing Item.]

Two-star card: Defensive/Offensive item.

[Samsung Card: Summoning Card. Summons a specific "Card-wielding Creature" that obeys the host's commands within a limited range and time.]

[Four-Star Card: Ability-type card. The host can gain the card's associated ability for a short, one-time use after activation.]

[Five-Star Card: Special Summon Card. Can awaken high-level otherworldly beings.]

An Jing: "..."
