Replacement completed.】

Inside a bathroom with a bathtub and shower curtain, no windows, only a small broken vent, typical of a Western-style apartment rental.

Sui Bian, wearing black loose shorts and a white short-sleeve shirt, was standing in front of the dressing table.

Listening to the cold words beside his ear, and then through the mirror discovering his height, facial features, and hairstyle were changing at a visible speed.

Soon, this change finally stopped.

In the mirror, he had rugged features, clear eyes and sword-like eyebrows, neat short hair, healthy wheat-colored skin, and his height had returned to about 1.82–1.83 meters.

Seeing this, he turned and walked out of the bathroom, opened the door, and what came into view was the standard layout of a single-occupancy apartment.

An integrated living room and kitchen, sofa and TV, a sliding door to the balcony and floor-to-ceiling window, plus a bedroom with its door open.

Sui Bian came to the sofa, sat down, turned his head to gaze at the night scenery outside the window, and fell into contemplation.

First, there was the transmigration.

He was originally a basketball enthusiast from China; getting into fights, carrying a basketball is normal.

But Sui Bian didn't expect that in a pickup game, a buddy would actually elbow him while he was going for a layup, causing him to lose balance and hit the back of his head on the ground.

Opening his eyes again, he found himself lying in the bathroom bathtub.

Second, the original owner of this body.

The original owner shared his name and surname, was also Chinese, and even looked somewhat similar in appearance.

After his parents died unexpectedly, this guy couldn't wait to liquidate his assets, then turned around and found an agent to come to the United States' Raccoon City to study abroad.

Financial freedom allowed him to enjoy everything enjoyable; a year ago he also picked up a drug habit, and ultimately died from an overdose injection in the bathroom, otherwise Sui Bian wouldn't have transmigrated into this body.

Lastly is that emotionless system…

Wait a moment…

Raccoon City?

【Detecting the world the host is in, please wait…

Detection completed.

Upon detection, this world contains a large number of abnormal phenomena that pose an extremely high threat to the human species; if not controlled, humanity will be completely extinct in the near future.

Given the high danger level of this world, the system will grant the host three free lottery draws; may the host use them?】

"…" Sui Bian didn't know how to comment.

From the original owner's memories, it can be known that the time he is in is 2:00 AM on May 28, 1998, and damn it, there's even Raccoon City.

This indicates this is the world of Resident Evil; whether it's the game or the movie, Sui Bian hasn't figured it out yet.

He eased his slightly rapid breathing and asked the system: "May I ask, what exactly is the abnormal phenomenon you just mentioned?"

【Abnormal phenomena refer to living beings, things, objects, or spaces beyond ordinary human cognition.

Such as the sci-fi, horror, weird, mythological movie plots the host watched in his previous life.

There may be friendly or neutral abnormal phenomena, but according to the system's assessment of this world, hostile abnormal phenomena constitute the majority.】

"Looks like it's not just zombies; there might be other stuff too. Well, my luck is really not bad." Sui Bian self-mocked.

After venting, he directly leaned back with his head up on the sofa, gazing at the ceiling with a complex expression.

Accidental death → transmigration → obtaining system → this world is full of danger.

Sui Bian felt a myriad of emotions.

But…

Transmigration has already happened; no matter how unwilling or resentful he feels toward that elbowing buddy, he can only accept reality.

After figuring it out, Sui Bian decided to continue 'watching' the original owner's memories, preparing to first clarify whether this world's Raccoon City leans toward the movie or the game.

Just a few seconds later, Sui Bian obtained crucial information.

That was yesterday's Raccoon City Times, which gave front-page coverage to the case of a woman killed by a beast attack.

And in the past few days, there were also related news items such as "man-eating" and "ghoul".

In the movie, after Umbrella sent personnel to investigate the Raccoon City, causing the infected and lickers from the hive to escape, the entire process of the city falling into lockdown took only over ten hours.

In the game, due to similar attack events being too frequent, the Raccoon City Police Department only dispatched a S. T. A. R. S. team into the mountains for investigation in July.

As for the exact day, Sui Bian, this half-baked Resident Evil fan, really can't recall.

Having confirmed that this Raccoon City leans more toward the game, Sui Bian thought to the system: "System, perform a lottery draw."

【Received, currently conducting the first lottery draw…

Congratulations, host, you have obtained the supreme control authority over the Red Queen and White Queen (the Red Queen and White Queen from "Umbrella Chronicles", unrelated to the movie).】

"Artificial intelligence?" Sui Bian blinked.

The Red Queen and White Queen are Umbrella's artificial intelligences, possessing cross-era processing and analytical capabilities.

The Red Queen leaves the deepest impression.

After all, the first movie is deeply ingrained in people's hearts and is also a childhood shadow for many viewers, while the Red Queen in the game even played Albert Wesker for a fool.

But the White Queen in the game is merely mentioned, hardly having any presence.

He relaxed a bit.

Sui Bian then asked: "How should I command them?"

One needs equipment that can connect to the internet, such as a mobile phone, personal computer, or laptop.

When the host uses the aforementioned equipment, they can converse with or issue commands to Hong Hou and Bai Hou.

Hearing this, Sui Bian got up and left the sofa for the bedroom.

He entered.

Ignoring the various clutter in the room, he turned on the light, went straight to the computer desk against the wall, pulled out the computer chair, sat down, and started the computer that had a strong sense of age.

Accompanied by some noise from the case, Sui Bian patiently waited for about a minute and a half.

Finally, the speaker emitted the classic Windows 95 startup sound, and the CRT display showed the Windows 95 operating interface.

Seeing the low-resolution icons, operation bar, and mouse with obvious mosaic artifacts, Sui Bian felt a sudden daze, as if instantly returning to his childhood of playing with the XP system screensaver.

At this moment, he also discovered two triangular icons.

One was white.

One was red.
