Chapter 1: A Familiar and Strange Place
Intense pain, darkness, coldness, dizziness...
All kinds of feelings came one after another, as if it had lasted for a thousand years, and then it seemed like it had only passed for a moment. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ info
Before you even have time to taste it, it's already gone, or is it too long, sunk in it, and have you long been used to it?
It was a semi-enclosed space with an adult male lying on the ground.
Kankan regained consciousness, Ling Qi opened his eyes violently, and after a blur, his vision gradually became clear.
The slight chaotic sting in my mind slowly subsided under the stimulation of the cold touch transmitted from under my body.
Waking up from a deep slumber often requires an adaptation process. If you are in a comfortable and familiar environment, this process will be prolonged, and you may even subconsciously fall asleep again until you get too much sleep.
Fortunately, Ling Qi was in an environment at the moment, neither familiar nor comfortable, I am afraid it should be described as bad.
Earthen walls, iron chains, old wooden tables and chairs, iron doors, small windows, human bones.
It was a cell, shabby, shabby, quaint, a cell that no condemned prisoner would want to stay in.
Ling Qi slowly got up, looked at the ancient environment, and ruled out the possibility of being wanted by the government for the first time.
By 2036, the concept of human rights has been internationally recognized, and criminals have basic rights, at least not to be abused, especially for "special public figures" like him.
Unless it is a "private paradise" for some rich and high-ranking officials, in order to satisfy the perverted hobbies of some people, such a place will be created.
It's just that, reminiscing about the consciousness of the last moment before death, the sharp pain of being burned and torn, he had to dispel those reveries.
Looking down at the clothes on his body, he was only the most rudimentary gray cloth gown, shorts, and straw sandals, but fortunately he was not shackled and restricted from moving.
Silence looked at the torches on the wall, the torture instruments. and a high hanging window on the wall on the other side of the cell door.
More than two meters and nearly three meters in height, the black fence glowed with the peculiar sheen of metal, which was not a passage he could exploit.
It was dark outside the window, and the window was too small to see clearly. After changing positions several times in a row, it was difficult to discern that the other side was indeed the wilderness, because of the sparse starry sky. And the time is at night, and the night is deep.
Walked to the cell door, held the iron bar the thickness of his arm, and pressed slightly.
The immovable iron gate proves that he does not suddenly possess special abilities, or that these fences are just a faΓ§ade.
Feeling a burst of weakness coming from his body, Ling Qi frowned, silently returned to the room, and sat on the only stool on the side, leaning on the rotten wooden table that was about to fall apart, supporting his forehead with his hands.
There were kettles and broken crockpots on the table, and the inside was empty, even if it was full, Ling Qi wouldn't drink it, it was too dirty.
As a former middle-to-upper-class person, he had never been treated like this.
Pampered, once you are down, it is not that you can't endure hardship, but that drastic changes in the environment will indeed cause the body to be unable to stand it first.
For example, in this unfamiliar environment, diseases often come before unknown dangers.
Drinking unclean water, temperature differences between day and night, and poor food and clothing can all lead to illness, which is not even transferred by the individual's will.
It's ridiculous to say, it seems to be pampered, but in fact, the human body is quite fragile, and the body's adaptability to the environment is far less strong than people think.
It's not that you can become a master of outdoor survival after watching a few survival documentaries, and you really throw modern people into the primeval forest, even if you have the necessary knowledge, if you haven't tried it, within ten days, more than half of the hundred people will die.
What Bei Ye can eat, you and I can't eat. After all, the show is just a show, as long as it lasts for a few minutes of filming time, who cares if it is pulled or rescued? Not to mention how stupid it would be to compare one's body immunity with special forces. What potential, potential, in the face of ordinary reality, is all nonsense.
Lack of medical care and basic survival guarantees can lead to a severe worsening of a fever, cold or even diarrhoea, resulting in death.
Ling Qi is not an arrogant person, he knows how many catties and taels he has, and his physique is average, and he will not be too casual.
The smell of mildew dust is pungent, but fortunately, the pile of white skeletons in the corner of the wall under the skylight has rotted through, and the smell is faint.
Ling Qi subconsciously avoided it, no one likes dead people's bones, that is always associated with misfortune.
Sitting on a stool, deducing the situation again and again, shaking his head again and again to overthrow.
Ling Qi was a little helpless, there were too few clues after all, and it was too bizarre to die and be reborn.
Crossing the Snatch?
All unfounded speculations are.
After all, Sherlock Holmes and L are only fictional characters, and without knowing the outcome, it is impossible to draw correct conclusions from a few clues, and the necessary conditions are never equal to sufficient conditions.
Clenched his fists, feeling the gradual recovery of his physical strength, and being sure that he had not been injected with a debilitating potion, Ling Qi breathed a sigh of relief.
This is a good thing, as it proves that the situation does not match the worst guesses.
Got up, paced a few steps, and was about to search the cell further for clues, when a voice suddenly sounded in his head!
"Scene opens: The Elder Scrolls plane. Cut-to-the-story level: 0%. Mission: Survival (easy), you must live in this plane for 30 days, after the mission is completed, the basic attributes improved during the mission will be retained, the basic skills and general equipment obtained during the mission will be retained. Excludes special skills and sophisticated equipment. Once the quest is complete, you will be transported directly to the reincarnation space. β
"The personal attributes panel opens, and the character attributes are as follows. β

"The language and appearance have been adjusted simultaneously, and since the chosen ones have not mastered the relevant natural skills, they can only master one language at the same time for the time being, and forget them after leaving this world. Current language: Tamrel (the lingua franca of the continent). β
"Important: This mission is the first mission of the selected person, the difficulty is very low, and the normal income during the mission process is slightly increased, please cherish this opportunity. β
The electronic synthesized sound, which is neither male nor female, echoed in his mind, and Ling Qi was stunned.
"The Elder Scrolls? what is that? attribute game?"
He even wondered if he was lucky enough not to die, he was caught by the enemy and injected with psychotropic hallucinogenic drugs, resulting in auditory hallucinations and hallucinations.
It was then overturned by complete and rigorous logical thinking. You must know that when people are hypnotized, hallucinated, or dreamed, they do not have complete and mature logical thinking. Partial paralysis (dormancy) of the brain can also lead to leapfrogging thoughts, which are perceptual confusion.
Of course, in that state itself, it is difficult to perceive these discrepancies. As an honorary member of the "Dream Trainer Association", Ling Qi himself has done self-training in this area. It's useless on weekdays, chatting for entertainment, but the resistance to psychotropic drugs is still improved to a certain extent.
Ling Qi rarely dreams, because once the dream is formed, he has the talent and relevant training, and he will subconsciously perceive the loopholes in his logical consciousness.
These abilities are of little help in real life, and at most make sleep better. Now, it's a bit of a hot sink.
As for the virtual illusion -
Ling Qi shook his head, that kind of technology is simply impossible to achieve in a hundred years. Some scholars even claim that if technology such as virtual reality appears, it will be a subversion of the world!
Ling Qi is not so crazy, he thinks that virtual reality is subverting reality. But he didn't think that kind of technology would suddenly appear, and he would be involved in it.
He didn't have the ability to self-hypnosis to unlock the genetic lock to verify the illusion, and he didn't know if that thing was reliable, and he didn't need to be so troublesome.
He's just a terrorist, an executioner who should have died a long time ago. He is just a small leader in the local food and drug administration, a small cadre who was forced to ruin his family. He's just a plate of dishes that was thrown away after being cold, and now he's been picked up inexplicably.
Is it real or unreal, does it make a difference to him?
It's good to be alive and feel all this, and to have your own independent thoughts, free will.
Man's fear of death is the end of his thoughts except for the unknown.
Ling Qi smiled, thinking about his own nonsense, and for the rest of his life that he had earned for nothing.
Unfortunately, his good mood was soon interrupted by an arrogant ridicule from the opposite cell.
It was only now that he understood what it meant to have a mocking face and what it meant to be cheap.
Stunned, he looked up at the cell door, three points of annoyance and seven points of surprise.
In the originally empty cell opposite, there was an extra at some point!
with long ears!
Maybe, call it the Dark Elves?
In the thirties of the 21st century, after the multimedia era of the information explosion passed, holographic technology was flooded.
In such an era, who doesn't know about magic and fantasy?
However, when the real magical creature suddenly appeared in front of him, he was still stunned.
Ling Qi was sure that the cell opposite Fang Cai was definitely empty. And the long-eared chattering in front of him is definitely not a holographic projection.
Because - breath!
Before he could reach the prison door, the had a mouth full of, which had already turned Ling Qi's annoyance into seven.
"Oh, look at that, this isn't the arrogant Empire. β
"Hahaha, Imperial, it seems that your people are not open to you, and even they think you are a useless scumbag. β
"What can a scumbag like you do but rot in prison. β
"Oh, oh! Rest assured, they will give you special care before the end of your sentence. β
"They will..."
With a sharp voice and harsh words, Ling Qi stared at him coldly.
The black elf seemed to want to say something, and Ling Qi was thinking about how to shut him up.
"Squeak~"
In the distance, there was the sound of the iron door opening.
The dark elf, who had been squeezed with a flat face, suddenly looked like a wild cat whose tail had been trampled on, exclaimed, and hid in the depths of the opposite cell, hiding in the darkness.
His figure was blurred, but his voice came out clearly.
"Haha~It's coming!It's coming!They're coming!They're coming!They're definitely here to kill you!Hahaha!Imperial, are you ready?"
With a strange tone of yin and yang, Ling Qi silently retreated inside, picked up the crockpot, smashed it against the wall, and then picked up a sharp piece and secretly pinched it in the palm of his hand.
Ignoring the plan of questioning, he would not take the words of mental illness seriously, nor would he ignore them completely, at least he could see that the prisoners here did not have any basic rights and interests protected.
When everything is unknown, it's a good idea to wait and see what happens.
It's just that this humanoid creature actually said the same thing as him?
Chinese? No!
Synchronous language, the lingua franca of the continent!
These two words flashed through Ling Qi's mind.
"Boom, boom, boom..."
Footsteps approached.
"Your Majesty, go this way, Borus, and close the door behind us!"
"Understood, Captain. β
"Renalte, my sons, are they all killed? β
"Your Majesty, the information I received indicates that they were only attacked. β
"You don't have to comfort me, I know, now, it's my turn. β
"Your Majesty, my mission is to bring you to safety. β
There was a conversation between three people, but there were more than three people listening to the footsteps.
Ling Qi's heart twitched slightly.
If these people are not acting, then one of them is - the emperor!
What an emperor is, modern people are not very well understood.
But just think about the head of state going on a tour, and it's not hard to imagine that kind of pomp.
Well, a fallen Emperor, a group of loyal guards, is on guard against an unknown assassin hiding in the dark!
What he has to face, undoubtedly, is a very dangerous group of people!
In order to protect the lives of the superiors and the subordinates, it is worthless!
In just a few words of dialogue, there is definitely a lot of information revealed.
Ling Qi clenched the tile in his hand and quietly retreated to the corner.
"The Elder Scrolls, it sounds familiar. β
A sandbox game that was popular twenty or thirty years ago, of course Ling Qi will not be clear.
He waited quietly, hoping that the fallen emperor would not have anything to do with him, and hoped that he could participate in it.
This is a complex thought formed after the longing for peace and the unwillingness to be bland.
In fact, most people are not like this, especially those who have long passed the enthusiasm of their youth, are no longer stunned, and have not yet reached the twilight age.
I don't know if the god of fate heard which voice in his heart, the footsteps echoed in the empty and quiet cell, so many dungeons, a group of people just stopped outside the room where he was.
Holding the tiles, some sweat was dripping from the palms of my hands, and my palms were slightly tingling because I was too hard.
Ling Qi was very nervous, looking at the only old man in brocade clothes who was not wearing armor among the several people, his eyes flickered, and he didn't know what to think.
Unexpectedly, those people seemed to be more nervous than him, and hurriedly protected the old man behind him, and one of the two male guards actually let out a low voice.
"Damn! How could this prisoner be here! This cell is off-limits!"
The only woman, who should have been Renalte, who was previously known as the captain, stepped forward a few steps forward and also stared at Ling Qi with unkind eyes.
Although it was separated by the prison door, several people were obviously too wary of him as a stranger, not only shielding the old man with their bodies and blocking Ling Qi's sight, but also pressing their hands on the hilt of the knife!
At this time, Ling Qi had already retreated to the corner, and no one shouted anything to tell him to back down.
Consideration is being given to what to say to alleviate the hostility of these people.
One of the male guards standing in front had already opened the cell door, drew his knife out of its sheath, and walked towards him with a sneer!
His gaze glanced sarcastically at Ling Qi's right hand, which was slightly bulging as he was holding a fragment of the earthen vessel.
"Damn it!"
Sensing the other party's killing intent, Ling Qi didn't think about it, and threw away the only "weapon" in his hand.
"Wait, I don't mean anything malicious!"
Ling Qi raised his hand, as if he had really given up resistance.
He couldn't help it, except for the old man who was suspected of being the emperor, although there were only three members of the guard, which was much less than Ling Qi expected, but just looking at the movements and demeanor of those people, it was not that he could fight against them.
Even, what made him even more cold was that just now, the idea of holding the old man hostage suddenly occurred in his heart, and before he even had time to form a plan, the gorgeous and excessive necklace on the old man's chest faintly flashed a glimmer!
This is not the natural force that Ling Qi knows at all!
"Fuck it!"
Seeing that the guard ignored him at all, still walking towards him with a knife unhurriedly, Ling Qi was annoyed.
Is it just because he got in the way, or because he has had the slightest hint of hostility, that he has to be cleared? If it is for the sake of secrecy, why can the-mouthed man in the cell opposite him hide in the shadows and watch all this as if he were enjoying it?!
The guard quickly walked two meters in front of him, paused for a moment, and changed his posture with the knife, becoming more aggressive, and about to pounce.
Ling Qi's flustered eyes instantly turned cold, just like not long ago, when he opened the air valve with his own hands, burying more than a thousand guests and hundreds of high-class people in the entire luxurious banquet, and even did not hesitate to let the excessive poisonous fog spread and plague half of the city.
Pick up the small plank on the ground and kick it towards the upper body of the visitor, then he arches his body, kicks hard, and slams into the crotch of the target!
For Ling Qi, this set of actions that he had only seen in the Fighting Encyclopedia was fast enough and standard enough.
But in the eyes of that man...
The contempt in the man's eyes was even worse, and with a slight movement, the narrow straight knife raised a dazzling arc!
"Click!"
The flying wooden bench was directly split in half, and Qi Qi flew past him.
And he took a moment to look at the overwhelmed guy in front of him!
It seemed to be slow and fast, the man turned the handle of the knife, the blade was facing down, and he stabbed it with his backhand, but he didn't just nail Ling Qi to the ground!
Seeing that he was about to see blood, Ling Qi, who was like an indomitable pounce, suddenly twisted his foot, and his ugly posture obliquely avoided the blade that was about to fall, and even volleyed behind the man!
At a distance of five or six meters, it was the tall and majestic old man who had already begun to cripple!
And, of course, two other guards!
The male guard seemed to be a little surprised by Ling Qi's change of tactics, but it was only a little surprised.
The falling blade turned temporarily, and he only flipped his wrist back, and the stab turned into a back pick, and the target was still Ling Qi!
Compared to Ling Qi's ugly posture, half of his body was in the air, completely losing the possibility of changing the possibility of death.
Not only is his movements more elegant, but the blade is also significantly faster than Ling Qi's flying speed!
This is a battle with no suspense at all and disproportionate strength!
The tip of the knife had already touched Ling Qi's vest, and the cold and stinging sensation made him feel the breath of death again!
"Granry!
The old man's words came softly, like a holy decree, and the death penalty of the offender was pardoned!
Perhaps the male guard named Granary never used all his strength, but when he heard this, he really stopped moving, and he moved and remained silent without warning.
Although the movements of his hands stopped, there was a pick and a hook under his feet, which just stopped Ling Qi's momentum.
Before he could react, he felt that his calf was numb, and Ling Qi fell to the ground, struggling to stand up.
The pain of landing on the ground was worse than expected, and the shoulder that first hit the ground was already unconscious.
Before he could make any further movements, a long knife had already landed silently on his neck!
Female Captain Renalte!
