Chapter 1: Crossing

At seven o'clock in the evening, Liu Ying came out of the cafeteria after eating, got on her bicycle and prepared to go back to the dormitory.

Liu Ying, an ordinary sophomore, is a senior otaku. His parents are divorced and he likes to live alone.

He has a habit of listening to music while riding a bicycle, and for this reason he almost collided with others several times, but fortunately neither of them was fast and did not have a major accident.

MD, I'm going to hand in my paper tomorrow, and I'm going to have my liver burst again tonight

Just when Liu Ying was complaining about his busy studies, suddenly a Ferrari on campus was running at a very fast speed, and Liu Ying was still immersed in his music world at this time, and it was too late to turn when he reacted, and the whole person was knocked out 10 meters away, and a big hole was broken on the top of his head, and the blood did not stop.

Seeing this scene, the people around all stopped and exclaimed.

-groove, I just went?

Liu Ying first felt a burst of surprise and surprise in her heart, and then an indescribable feeling, but there was no anger and fear.

He is still quite pessimistic about death, but he didn't expect to be so close to him.

The blood on his forehead slid down his cheeks, his vision gradually blurred, the crowd of people taking pictures around him, the flash of his mobile phone flashed, Liu Ying gradually closed his eyes, and silently recalled his life in his heart, which was ordinary and bland, and did not leave anything in the world, and it seemed that there was still an indescribable sense of discomfort.

The next day

A news report: A man at a university died in a car accident because he was distracted by listening to music while riding a bicycle. This article is a reminder not to be distracted while riding.

.......

"Brother.... Brother, please don't... Don't leave me."

Hey...... Is it my young sister?

No, it doesn't sound right.

Tick tock...

Tears fell down his face like marbles

Consciousness suddenly surged like a tide, Liu Ying slowly propped up his heavy eyelids, and in his blurred vision, there was a faint lilac delicate figure!?

The girl next to him saw his eyelashes trembling slightly, and couldn't help but let out a surprise sound

"Brother, brother, don't die!"

"You... Are you!?" Liu Ying's eyes were clear at this time, but he was surprised to find that the person in front of him was actually a little girl with violet-colored skin, red eyes, and silver chest-length hair, looking at him with a worried expression.

There were faint tear stains on his cheeks, he was wearing a dark brown linen dress, a little dirty, his hands were tightly grasping his arms, and his body was trembling slightly.

When the girl saw him open his eyes, she immediately threw herself into his arms, her body trembled even more, and tears couldn't stop pouring out, and she whimpered: "Brother, I thought .. You.. To leave. I. ”

Looking at the familiar and unfamiliar scene in front of him, an unfamiliar memory suddenly flooded into his mind and played it out in front of him like a slideshow.

"Ah!" The brain spirit seemed to be torn apart, so that Liu Ying couldn't help but let out a cry of pain.

"Brother, what's wrong with you, don't scare me" The girl saw this, and became even more worried.

"It's okay, I'm okay" The pain seemed to last only for a moment, and then passed away like a tide, making him not only feel that the pain just now was just an illusion, but the cold sweat behind him reminded him that all this was not a dream.

Taking a few deep breaths, Liu Ying finally sorted out the ins and outs of the matter.

It turned out that the girl in front of him was called Ariel, her sister, and the original owner of her body was called Ayton, all of whom were dark elves, and someone had just come to rob her and Ariel's food, so Ayton stepped forward to fight with him, but was knocked unconscious, of course, it was also possible that she was killed, and Liu Ying was reborn on him.

"Brother, it's okay, let's not fight with him, okay. ”

Seeing Ariel's pleading and worried look, Liu Ying endured the intense pain in her body and the dizziness in her brain and stood up.

"Well, let's go back first. Liu Ying said softly, No matter what happens, let's go back first.

Even though he and Ariel hadn't eaten in two days, it was not uncommon for children to go without food for three days in the dark region.

However, since the heavens have given me another life, then I will cherish it, and from today onwards I will be Ayton, a dark elf living in the dark realm.

Supported by Ariel's petite body, Ayton slowly stood up, and found that he was surrounded by dark elves with strange violet skin, red eyes, and silver hair, and people on the road, but they rarely walked together.

The ground is an unknown black stone pavement, above which is a hazy gray of hard rock, and above the roof of the cave hangs a huge ball of energy that glows red, known as the "Blood Moon", surrounded by a large number of energy crystals to help reflect the light, illuminating every corner of the dark area, despite this, the whole land is still gloomy.

Broken rocks like wolf's teeth, dark weeds are scattered in every corner of the city, like an abandoned deserted city.

The dark elves, who abandoned their faith in the goddess of life in the demonic invasion a thousand years ago, turned to the demonic elves, the symbol of the Fall.

Cruelty, bloodthirsty, cunning, and debauchery are synonymous with them.

Proficient in swordsmanship, bows and arrows, and dark magic, almost every Dark Elf is a good warrior, often burning and looting to cause other races to unite against them. However, after the Demon King Sagios was defeated by the human emperor of the previous dynasty, the Cangxuan Holy Emperor, and was jointly sealed under the Holy Land by all the powerhouses of the continent, they were forced to retreat to the dark underground life.

Now the dark elves live in the dark cave xueli, and can only go out when they are on a mission, the cave is very large, nearly 30,000 dark elves and a large number of slaves live here, ruled by the dark elf master mother Akdia.

They hope to one day resurrect Saguos and lead them back against the ground, deep in the cavern there is a misty forest, known as the Dark Elves as the Land of Trials.

Every dark elf is taken away from their parents as soon as they are born, and then they are raised together, and when they grow up, they don't know who their parents and sons are. There is no such thing as kinship in the dark elves.

Ariel was met by chance, when she was dying of hunger, she gave her half a piece of black bread, and then she called Ayton her brother, and since then the two of them have supported each other to live in the bottom of the dark elves, and go to a fixed place every day to get the corresponding food, the food is basically black bread and other things, sometimes you can't get it when you go late.

"Brother, we can start training tomorrow, as long as we perform well, we don't have to worry about food every day. There was some silence along the way, and Ariel suddenly spoke.

"Hmm," Ayton snapped, his brain still sorting out his thoughts.

Every two years, the Dark Elves will select a group of 8 to 10-year-old people from the children to train to provide fresh blood for the Dark Elf society, and he and Ariel happen to be in the same batch. And as long as you participate in training, food is basically not an issue.

Dark elves like those who don't participate in training can only receive a daily amount of food that is guaranteed not to starve to death. And if the food is robbed, there is no place for you to complain, there is no so-called fairness and justice in the dark elf society, just a society where the strong are respected.

The interior of the dark area is very large, and they slowly walk along the rugged road to their dwellings, they live in the far part of the central city, along the way there are various shapes of mountain packs raised on the rocky ground, and there are many natural caves in the mountain packs, and most of the dark elves live in these caves.

Eventually, Ayton reached his cave, only to find another strong-looking dark elf boy dangling around outside his cave, looking impatient.

His name is Srock, and he usually likes to bully the Dark Elves who are weaker than him everywhere, and then steal the food, and yesterday's food for Ayton was stolen by him.

At this time, Srock had already seen Ayton and Ariel's arrival, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, looking particularly angry at them, and shouted loudly:

"You two have finally returned, and you know the consequences if you don't hand over the food. ”

"The food was snatched away by Danmo," Ayton said flatly. The Slark spoke as if he were his slave and should have been left to his believing, making him unhappy, but the current situation did not allow him to have a seizure.

"Why, he snatched the food! Looks like I'm going to have to teach you how to fight, for the sake of our old acquaintances. Srock stepped forward with his hands clenched into fists.

Ayton frowned slightly, according to his memory, he was not his opponent at all, not to mention that he was still injured now, and there was an Ariel by his side, so he said in a deep voice: "I will participate in training tomorrow, I advise you to save some strength, I heard that many people will be eliminated in training." ”

Hearing this low tone, snooker was obviously stunned, Ayton didn't dare to talk to him like this before, but he finally came once, how could he leave without doing anything: "Haha, I still have the strength to beat you, I don't need you to worry." ”

It seems that he can't die well, Ayton clenched his fists, he wouldn't let others beat him, even if the other party was stronger than him, even if he was beaten all over his body, he would bite him back.

But at this time, Ariel suddenly stood in front of Ayton and shouted angrily at Snooker: "Slok, didn't you say yesterday that you wouldn't be collecting food from me and my brother, why today..."

"Haha, are you really stupid, or are you fake stupid, just because you wanted to send me away with the little black bread you had yesterday?" said Slok, who clearly did not take this timid little girl to heart.

Yes, Ariel rarely had quarrels with others before, and Ayton was basically involved in the fight, and she was mainly responsible for taking care of Ayton after his injury, but this behavior was always seen by others as a sign of weakness.

"What! You took Ariel's food yesterday" Ayton was also a little angry at this time, Ariel was the first relative he was born again.

"Yes, she begged me not to trouble you again, hehe, naΓ―ve," Srock smirked.

Seeing Ariel's face flushed with anger and tears rolling in her eyes, Ayton scolded secretly: "Lao Tzu fought with you"

Rushing straight towards Srock, I must not flee without a fight!

Srock looked at Ayton's momentum and was stunned, in the past, Slok was the first to move, but today it was replaced by Ayton, and his intuition made him feel that something was wrong.

As a result, he reacted a little slower, and was punched in the stomach by Ayton, and although he took a step back and unloaded some of his strength on the way, he still felt a churn in his stomach, and the fact that he was hit by Ayton angered Srock.

"Looking for death" didn't have time to think about it, Srock yelled and angrily rushed at Ayton.

Ayton was still sane, the punch just now almost used all his strength, seeing Slock's punch to his stomach with all his strength, he concentrated again, moved his body to the left to avoid, and at the same time grabbed Slock's right hand with both hands and pulled it violently to the right, Srock lost his center of gravity, slammed, and fell heavily to the ground.

Ayton took advantage of the situation and pressed down on him, shouting, "Ariel, run!"

With his current strength, it is difficult to inflict substantial damage on Slark, and as time goes by, he must have exhausted his physical strength first.

"Brother..."Ariel looked at Ayton, who was pressed against Srock's body, her expression changed, she was moved, feared, worried, but she didn't turn her head and run away.

The hard gravel stung his cheeks, and Slok struggled to get back up, his face becoming more and more hideous: "You two... It's dead!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he was immediately pressed down by Ayton again, and his mouth shouted even more anxiously

"Run, leave me alone"

Ariel finally looked determined, turned around, picked up an adult-sized stone at her feet, and ran quickly to Slark.

"What are you going to do, hey? don't... Don't come here!"

Without the slightest hesitation, the hard stone dilated sharply in his frightened red pupils, and slammed down on his skull.

Syllable!

"Ahhhhh!!h

Slark let out a pig-killing scream, cursing incessantly, and blood burst into both Ayton and Ariel's faces.

Even Ayton couldn't help but be a little stunned at this time, and the impression of Ariel had never done such a thing.

'Bang, bang, bang' Ariel's eyes seemed to lose their luster, but she didn't relent, and continued to smash her head on him.

Dozens of crashes in a row, Slark's cursing gradually turned into a cry for mercy, and finally... Finally stopped

There was a large hole in his skull, and the yellow and white brains flowed down the edges, and his body twitched intermittently, and the blood was already flowing all over the ground, staining the edges of Ayton's clothes.

'Da' Ariel's hand fell to the ground with a crisp sound, her body trembled slightly, her eyes regained a trace of sanity, and she looked at Ayton in horror... Overwhelmed.

"Brother..."

Ayton looked complicated, slowly stood up, gently hugged Ariel, put his hands on her back and slowly soothed her beating little heart, and said softly:

"It's all right, Ariel, it's over. ”

Ariel's tense expression relaxed, and she hugged Ayton tightly, crying in his arms.

"Brother... I.. I..."

"It's okay, I'm hereβ€”" I don't know how long it took for Ariel's stomach to rumble and break the silence.

Ayton let go of Ariel and said softly, "I'm hungry."

Ariel blushed slightly and bowed her head, "Hmm"

Ayton chuckled lightly and said, "Let's go, let's go to Xueli Cave to see if there is anything to eat" After speaking, he pulled Ariel towards Rock Cave and walked towards Rock Cave, ignoring the corpse left on the ground. The most important thing now is to calm her emotions first.

Slark Cave is not far away, walk into the cave and take a look, and find that there are still 2 pieces of black bread left, probably Slark is going to eat at night, just one with Ariel.

The taste of the brown bread feels like a steamed bun that has been left out for a long time, a little sour, and it is particularly hard.

Ayton was not interested in savoring it, so he quickly finished the brown bread and watched Ariel chew it slowly with a look of enjoyment.

Violet's smooth skin, elf's unique pointed ears, silky long silver-white hair, clear red eyes, petite and cute figure, a faint tear stain on her pretty face, and a happy look when eating bread.

Ayton's strange appearance amazed him for a while, and then he remembered that he was almost like this, but from a woman to a man.

Ariel looked up and saw that Ayton had finished eating, so she tore a piece of bread and handed it over:

"Brother, give"

"I'm full, you can eat," Ayton laughed

At the same time, I couldn't help but touch her head and pointed ears with my hands, her hair was silky and shiny, and the small pointed ears pointed back and upward.

When you grow up, you will inevitably be overwhelmed, Ayton made a judgment.

Ariel looked puzzled, not understanding why her brother was doing this.

After eating, Ayton wiped the tears from Ariel's face with his hand, "I'll go dispose of Slark's body"

"I'll go too"

"Hmm," Ayton nodded

Then the two of them found a random place to bury Slok and covered it with weeds and dirt, but luckily nothing was found.

If this was in a previous life, this would definitely go to jail. In the world of the Dark Elves, there are no strict laws, only unwritten rules. Evil is perpetrated every day, but most of it is against slaves who have no human rights and the weak who have no strength.

The dark elves do not have the so-called concept of friends and wives, there are only interests and losses between them, and the relationship between superiors and subordinates, so the dark elves are generally alone, and the places where they live are far away from each other, and existences like Ayton and Ariel are basically untouchable. This is also the reason why the individual dark elves are very strong in combat, and it is also the reason why they can only hide in the dark area.

"Ariel, you can stay in my cave in the future, if you live alone, I won't, I'm afraid someone will go..."

After today's incident, he has a lot of trust in Ariel.

"Good"

Ariel immediately agreed.

'Well, I agreed so soon'

Although his two residences are still relatively close, it still takes about 3 minutes to go there, and a lot of things may happen during this time.

"Then let's go to your house and move some things over."

"Okay"

Along the way, Ariel swept away the previous haze, bouncing and looking happy.

"What are you so happy about?"

"Because I can live with my brother, I don't have to worry about people knocking on my door in the middle of the night" Ariel turned her head to smile with joy, and it was obvious that she had lived a life of fear before.

"Why didn't you tell me that someone was knocking on your door in the middle of the night," Ayton exclaimed.

"I'm afraid you're worried, brother, but don't worry, I blocked the door with a stone, and others can't get in"

"You must tell me about this in the future," Ayton said after pausing and looking at Ariel solemnly.

β€œ... Oh ok"

Ariel hesitated for a moment, then smiled again, but with a hint of sadness in it

"Brother..."

"What's wrong?"

"I won't be weak anymore," Ariel's gaze fell into the distance.

β€œ... It's okay" Ayton was stunned for a moment, only to understand that she regretted that she didn't go up to help him in the first place, but he would never blame her for this.

When she arrives in Ariel's cave, she finds only a stack of bedding, a change of clothes, and a drinking glass.

It can be said that he is destitute, Ayton smiled awkwardly.

"It's the same as my family" and then stepped forward to hold the futon in his arms, although the futon looked shabby, but it was very clean, and there was a girlish fragrance that made people intoxicated.

Ariel took her clothes and a glass of water and urged, "Let's go, brother." ”

It seemed that Ariel was tired of living alone, and the two of them returned to Ayton's residence together.

Ayton's caverns are large and remote, and there are basically no other dark elves passing by.

night

The light of the Blood Moon dimmed, and everywhere was dark and dark, and it appeared extremely dark.

The two of them stared at each other, and at this time, the other dark elves were basically cultivating or... Do something nasty, and now these two kids really don't know what to do.

"Go to bed early," Ayton said first, breaking the silence

"Oh, good night brother"

"Good Night"

The two of them slept on the same stone bed, the stone bed was very large, Ariel immediately fell asleep, because of the reason of the crossing, the excited Ayton couldn't sleep for a long time, tossing and turning on the bed, thinking about the future life, suddenly felt that his left hand was pulled by someone's hands in the middle of the night, and when he opened his eyes, he found that Ariel snuggled up to him at some point, her eyes were closed, her brows were furrowed, her eyelashes were slightly shaking, and she didn't know what she was muttering in her mouth.

He moved his head to her, and then he heard clearly.

"Brother, don't leave me"

Ayton looked at the first loved one in this world, put his right hand on Ariel's hands, and said softly:

"Don't worry, I'll never leave Ariel"

After speaking, he felt sleepiness sweeping over, and gradually he fell asleep.
