Chapter 5

The male owner's emotions had now become much more stable than before. He guessed that this group of people was probably the type who couldn't afford to install security systems and could only break into someone else's home before the Purge Night began to seek shelter. Since they needed something from him, they probably wouldn't harm him for the time being. After all, killing outside of Purge Night carried legal consequences, and when the time came to activate the security system, his fingerprint and iris scan would be required, so his life shouldn't be in danger.

However, at that moment, Ryan Carter let out a "huh," as if he had discovered something unbelievable.

Mr. Harris frowned slightly, turned his head to look at Ryan Carter, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Ryan Carter paused, pointed at the male owner, and said:

"He is the protagonist from ""The Purge 1""!"

Chapter 3 Hidden Mission

As soon as Ryan Carter finished speaking, the scene instantly fell silent. Mr. Harris's brows furrowed, Grace Bennett had an expression of disbelief on her face, and David Clark looked as if he had seen a ghost. Clearly, they hadn't known before that the owner of this villa in front of them was the protagonist of this movie.

"What's wrong, don't tell me none of you have seen the movie ""The Purge""?" Ryan Carter seemed to realize something and asked.

"To be honest, we really haven't, because the movie isn't that famous, and besides, it's impossible for us to have seen every movie in the world." Grace Bennett nodded in admission. "After entering this mission world, we first got a general understanding of the background from the Lord God's introduction, and then we used our phones to search the internet in this world to get a more comprehensive understanding of this so-called 'Purge.' So, if it weren't for you, we really wouldn't have known that, by some twist of fate, we ended up in the home of the movie's protagonist."

"So, that means before you entered this mission world from the Lord God's space, you didn't know which movie world you would be entering?"

"That's right, that's exactly it. We can't predict which movie the next mission world will be based on." Grace Bennett shrugged helplessly. "If we could know the background of the next mission world in advance and prepare ahead of time, our chances of survival would be much, much higher."

"No, that's not entirely true." Mr. Harris interrupted Grace Bennett at this point. "It's not that it's impossible to know, but at this stage, our China team's qualification level isn't high enough to foresee the background of the next mission world. Because, up until now, our China team hasn't had a captain. When I was still a newbie, the veterans at that time could foresee the next movie world in advance. But now, with those veterans all dead, none of us have been recognized by the Lord God as qualified to be the China team's captain. And the ability to foresee the next mission world's background is a privilege unique to the captain."

According to Mr. Harris, although he was effectively the captain of the China team and everyone listened to him, his strength still wasn't enough to be recognized by the Lord God as the captain. So, in the Lord God's eyes, the China team was still in a "no captain" state.

At this point, David Clark asked, "Isn't this too much of a coincidence? We just randomly picked a villa to break into, and it just so happens to be the home of the movie's protagonist?"

"Maybe it's not a coincidence. I don't believe in such coincidences either. The Lord God probably intended for us to meet the protagonist of this movie. So, no matter which villa or which family we chose, in the end, we would have ended up meeting this family. Because it's the Lord God, it's God. God said, 'Let there be light,' and there was light. What seems incredible to us is very simple and easy for God."

As Ryan Carter spoke, he glanced at Mr. Harris and the others. Seeing that they were all looking at him, he continued to analyze, "I think the Lord God wouldn't just let us meet the protagonist's family for nothing. Maybe something will change, or maybe, since I had the so-called main and side missions appear in my mind earlier, the Lord God will give us a hidden mission next?"

["China Team has triggered the hidden mission of ""The Purge 1""—Protect Sandin and survive Purge Night! If the mission fails, the entire team will be immediately wiped out. If the mission is completed, all team members will receive 800 reward points and a G-level script reward."]

As if to deliberately match Ryan Carter's analysis, just as Ryan Carter finished speaking, the Lord God's mission prompt sounded in the minds of all the China team members. At that moment, including Mr. Harris, the three original veterans of the China team looked at Ryan Carter with completely different eyes. Even though Ryan Carter was a newcomer who hadn't yet survived his first mission world or received any enhancements from the Lord God, his intelligence was already enough for these veterans to recognize and accept him as a teammate in advance. After all, there really wasn't anyone in the China team who could be called a wise man.

"As expected."
