When Lin Chi woke up, he found himself lying in the dirt.

There was a smell of blood and rancid smell floating in the air around him, which were mixed together to form an indescribable "aroma", Lin Chi stretched out his right hand to cover his mouth and nose, and was about to try to speak, but found that his tongue and lips seemed to be unconscious.

INTERVIEWER What happened this time?

Since it's not a competition, it's just an ordinary passerby's bureau, as a plot lover, he wants to get the original "first experience". Before entering the map, I didn't check out the strategies or discussion posts that contained spoilers.

Because of this, he who had just woken up could be said to be confused, except for knowing the name of this map, he was basically in a state of ignorance about other information.

The name of the map I got this time is "Afterimage of the Abyss". If memory serves, this map was originally updated at the same time as Frozen Savia Valley, Hellcapital, and Trap City.

Lin Chi had already experienced the other three maps, and this was his first time here. Judging from the map introduction before entering the game, I should have arrived somewhere on the medieval European continent, but I can't tell where it was.

Lin Chi opened his eyes and saw a pale crescent moon hanging high in the sky like a sickle. He reached out his left hand and felt nearby, and found himself lying in the dirt. And...... I also touched a cold, round object.

He sat up slowly, adjusting to the sensation of his new body, and looked at the thing he touched in his left hand through the moonlight, and what came into view was a withered yellow human skull.

"It's ......"

Realizing that the beginning was not quite right this time, Lin Chi looked around and found that the outline of human bones was exposed in the soil, and there were several headless corpses that had not decayed and could still see the outline of a human form, lying less than five meters beside him.

- Is the player's role in this map a resurrected undead?

Lin Chi was speculating about the current situation when he noticed several figures appearing on the path not far away, casting long shadows in the moonlight.

Seeing that someone was coming, he just sat up, so he decisively lay down again, and simply began to pretend to be dead. His eyes were not completely closed, and he looked at the scene around him through a narrow gap between his eyelids.

The sound of heavy footsteps came from far and near, it sounded like a tall and strong man, and the thick figure just now seemed to confirm this, Lin Chi, who was lying on his side, couldn't see the appearance of the other party clearly from this angle, and could only see the brown leather boots of those people, stepping on the black dirt.

Something was thrown beside Lin Chi, blocking his view. When his vision became clear, Lin Chi saw the rough cloth and gray hands.

- It's a corpse.

Listening to the sound of the strong man's footsteps gradually disappearing, until the sound completely disappeared, Lin Chi finally sat up again, turned his head to look at the few corpses that fell beside him.

The bodies of two men and two women were thrown beside him, their complexion was the gray of a dead man, their round eyes were only the whites of their eyes, and the clothes on their bodies were the same as their own clothes, which were made of unusually rough linen.

Just by looking at the way they dressed, they knew that these poor people should be poor people, just like themselves.

In this day and age, it is normal for lowly poor people to be killed. In this case, it may be a place where corpses are dumped in the wild, or mass graves or something.

But...... Is that really the case?

Lin Chi tried to move his numb legs, but finally regained a little consciousness, stood up slowly, raised his right hand in front of him, and saw the same gray skin.

By now, he can already determine that his role this time is a resurrected corpse. Realizing this, Lin Chi reached out and lifted the clothes on his body and checked whether his body was complete.

On the surface, there are no obvious scars on his body, and his internal organs do not look like they are missing. With numb lips and the faint smell of almonds in his mouth, Lin Chi had already speculated that the cause of his death was poisoning.

He lowered his head and looked at the headless corpses not far away, as well as several heads on the ground.

It does not appear to be a cemetery, but an execution ground for the execution of prisoners. His own character must have been one of the executed prisoners. If you stay here, those strong men who were suspected of being executioners just now may come back again.

Thinking of this, Lin Chi also resolutely turned around and planned to run away first. At this moment, a creepy hoarse whisper rang out of his ears:

"I give you a second life...... Sacrifice. ”

"Who are you?"

Lin Chi turned his head sharply as he spoke, and saw the thin "corpse" standing on the execution ground.

Due to the poor lighting, he at first thought it was a poor prisoner with a slashing stick, but when he walked nearby, he realized that it was a statue.

At the same time as Lin Chi approached, two scarlet eyeballs appeared in the statue's eye sockets, staring at him deadly. The whisper sounded again, as if to convey instructions to the servants:

"Go ahead, clear the rest of the Cursed and bring back what we need."

"Wait a minute, I don't know anything."

Lin Chi shook his head, stood in front of the hemp rod-like statue, and began to collect information straightforwardly: "Who are you?" ”

"Born here, but you don't even know my name......

The statue's eyes rolled twice, as if it was a little helpless, and answered his question in a low voice: "Sacrifice, I am Mephistopheles, the god who protects this place, remember to be respectful, I can take your life back at any time." ”

"Oh, that's right." Lin Chi didn't have any intention of "maintaining respect", and immediately asked the next question: "So what do you want?" ”

"I need the lives of the other cursed ones to bring back their spirits." Mephistopheles' voice seemed a little angry: "Go quickly, we can't wait too long." ”

Although Mephistopheles seemed to be a little impatient, Lin Chi still had no intention of leaving, and continued to ask slowly, "What is the cursed?" ”

At this time, he had completely regarded this "god" as a common novice tutorial NPC in old games.

Of course, Lin Chi knew that his way of playing was in danger of being killed, but this was originally a casual passerby game after the game, and his attitude was not as serious as before.

The situation is still unclear, and it would be great if important information could be extracted from the mouth of this self-proclaimed god.
