By the time the old hunter returned to his hut, it was already getting dark.

The wind and snow outside the window were raging, Lin Chi sat down at the table, put the box on the table, and opened the white cloth wrapped outside.

What caught my eye was a rudimentary-looking wooden box with no lock on it.

After opening the lid, a crumpled piece of parchment appeared at the top, Lin Chi spread out the paper and began to read the contents:

Shadow Guard Code:

Unconditional obedience to all the Shadow's commands.

Give your life for the shadows when necessary.

Dispose of anyone who dares to question the Shadows.

……

After reading the concise and concise code, Lin Chi narrowed his eyes, and a series of question marks appeared in his mind again:

He thought that "Shadow Guard" was just a common and high-sounding code name in games. But according to this rule, there really is something called "Shadow......

So the question is, is this "shadow" a person, an institution, or something else?

Lin Chi put the parchment aside and continued to check the other things in the box, only to find that in addition to the parchment, there was only one black thing in the wooden box that looked like earrings.

"Huh?"

He raised an eyebrow in confusion and picked up the object and weighed it in the palm of his hand. It was a black object curled up in a ball, somewhat like a fire-roasted bug, with a tiny metal ring hanging from it.

Unlike the normal items and equipment in the game, this strange object does not pop up any item introduction.

The strange thing is that when he picked up the thing with two fingers, Lin Chi clearly felt that the "black earring" between his fingers seemed to tremble slightly.

- Is this thing alive?

Sensing that something was not right, Lin Chi stood in front of the mirror with the thing, only to see that there was indeed a conspicuous ear piercing on his left ear.

"Okay......" he said, clumsily trying to put on his earrings.

Obviously, the skill of wearing earrings is not within the scope of the old hunter's expertise.

In order to put this thing on, Lin Chi worked much harder than when he killed just now, and it took him a full five minutes before he finally put the black gadget on his left ear.

And then...... Nothing happened.

Lin Chi looked at the vicissitudes of life in the mirror with an unusually pale complexion, except for an ugly "ornament" under his ears, he was completely no different from before.

- So what exactly is this thing for?

He was about to complain, but suddenly heard a very magnetic female voice. It seemed to have been directly transmitted to consciousness, and even made his head hurt a little:

"Listen to the voice of the shadows, minions."

The voice was low and clear, as if it was coming from behind him, and there was even a hint of cold air blowing from the back of Lin Chi's neck.

Lin Chi turned his head suddenly, naturally he didn't see anything. But the creepy and strange feeling just now doesn't seem like a simple illusion.

- This earring also has the effect of "thousands of miles of sound"?

Lin Chi reached out and touched the earrings, and the female voice with super penetrating power, like "magic sound filling the ears", also sounded again. Although the tone is quite soft, it reveals an inexplicable coldness:

"The Third Great War is about to break out, and other gods are on the move. Be ready, take up arms, and protect your master. ”

Hearing this, Lin Chi was surprised to realize that the map of the Frozen Savia Valley seemed to have supernatural attributes such as gods and demons.

This is the first time he has been ranked on such a map in "War Paradise".

However, he always felt that this so-called "shadow" was not quite the same as a god in the conventional sense.

Thinking of this, Lin Chi decisively asked, "I'm sorry, who are you?" ”

"Uh......"

Hearing Lin Chi's words, the shadow was also speechless for a while, and after two seconds, he raised his voice a little depressedly: "Servant, what's wrong with you?" ”

"My mind is a little out of the way." Lin Chi casually said: "I only remember that I seem to be ...... Dark...... What's the darkness? ”

"Shadow Guard." The female voice immediately reminded.

"Oh, I see, I thought it was the shadows." Lin Chi nodded.

Without waiting for the female voice to answer, he had already bluntly asked the most critical question at the moment:

"Excuse me, what do the Shadow Guardians do?"

There was an awkward silence.

Thirty seconds later, the female voice finally sounded again, sounding like she was about to vomit blood:

"The Shadow Guardian is my most loyal servant, and my orders are everything in your life, what's the problem?"

"There's a problem." Lin Chi immediately spoke: "Why should I listen to you?" ”

As soon as these words came out, the cabin suddenly fell into a mysterious silence again, except for the crackling of the fire in the fireplace, and the snoring of the silver wolf sleeping by the bed, in a rhythmic cycle.

After a long time, the female voice finally sounded again, and there was a threat in her voice:

"Servant, do you want to betray your master?"

"No, I'm just asking." Lin Chi was not ashamed.

"Remember, I gave you a second life, stupid bloodless." The dark image was a little angry and raised his tone: "I'll contact you later, next time you'd better be obedient!" ”

After finishing speaking, the female voice disappeared completely, and Lin Chi tried to call a few words, but she did not appear again.

- This kind of psychological quality is not as good as that of a female teacher, is it really worthy of the title of "god"?

However, in this way, the mark of "Shadow Guard" can also explain why the skull is compared to the comic pattern of scissorhands.

When Lin Chizheng was secretly complaining in his heart, he looked at the unusually pale face of the old hunter in the mirror, recalled the "bloodless man" that the shadow said, and suddenly thought of something:

Look at this complexion...... Is there really no blood in your body?

He pulled out the dagger that hung from his belt and slashed it at his wrist, making a small incision.

Not a single drop of blood came out.

Seeing this scene, Lin Chi slashed his right cheek again, and waited for a long time, and finally a drop of milky white liquid slowly dripped down, it was the goat's milk that he drank in the tavern just now......

"I'll go, is this a zombie?" Lin Chi muttered.

It is reasonable to say that it is impossible for a person without blood to survive, but now he feels normal in all aspects, except for the lack of blood in his body, which causes his complexion to be abnormally pale, and there is nothing wrong with him.

- What's going on?

Realizing that his identity was even more confusing, Lin Chi walked briskly to the bookshelf on the other side of the wooden house, and began to quickly check the spine of the book, looking for information related to the "bloodless man".
