Chapter 3: The Black Ring
There are only two things in the Inventory, a red apple and a green apple, one with HP and one with blue (MP). Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
In the [Equipment Column], it seems that because Xia Mu has no career, the system simply does not even give away novice equipment, and almost all parts are empty!
But there is only one piece of equipment in the ring!
★ 【Unknown Black Ring】
[Wearing requirements]: self-binding
[Special Effects]: None
[Description]: It cannot be separated, cannot be dropped, and cannot be traded
Seeing the details of this equipment, Xia Mu's heart tightened inexplicably, as if he had thought of something, a drop of cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and a terrible thought rose in his heart!
I just wanted to raise my right hand, but I found that my body couldn't move, like a machine that was stuck, and it was difficult to move my fingers with all my strength!
What's going on?!
A question flashed through my mind, and the next moment, a system prompt sounded!
"Ding~ Curse mode has not been turned on, and the character cannot move!"
As soon as Xia Mu heard the system prompt, he hurriedly checked his abnormal state, and found a clock logo on his status bar in a few moments!
★ 【Cursed Mode】
Not yet turned on, not movable;
Reverse time: 23 hours, 59 minutes and 59 seconds
There's one more day left before Cursed Mode will be active, and you won't be able to move during that time!
Anyway, there is nothing to do in the game now, Xia Mu moved his consciousness in order to confirm the terrible idea in his heart, and then got out of the game.
…
Inside a small rental house...
Xia Mu's consciousness returned to his body, and he immediately stood up from the chair!
I want to raise my right hand, this time! And he got his wish!
The slightly slender five fingers came into view, and on the ring finger of his right hand, he was wearing a black ring, which was particularly conspicuous!
It's a ring, it's a ring!
There is nothing inlaid on it, just a simple "ring", the whole is pitch black, and unknown lines are drawn on it.
The first time Xia Mu saw the black ring, he figured out who was the culprit of the strange thing that happened when he entered the game!
It's himself!
No, the black ring on his ring finger to be exact!
Black has been regarded as an ominous color since ancient times, and many things, once given black, people will subconsciously frown!
Xia Mu is convinced of the idea that "black is ominous", and in fact it is!
The black ring on his hand will bring bad luck!
It sounds mysterious, but it's true, because this black ring killed many people who were "close" to him!
It is precisely because of this black ring that Xia Mu avoids everyone, never talks to people, and lives a lonely life like a walking corpse!
…
Speaking of the origin of this black ring, Xia Mu only remembered that he had worn it since birth, and as he got older, his ring finger became thicker, and the black ring also "grew up"!
Xia Mu's first year of birth...
He couldn't remember what his parents looked like, and the two of them fell ill and died!
Xia Mu began to be ignorant in the third year...
After several rounds in the hands of relatives, he was sent to an orphanage, and then a fire engulfed the orphanage, but he was the only one who "survived", and he still remembers the smile of the dean's grandmother!
Xia Mu began to remember the fourth year...
Escaping his fate, he was adopted by the dean's daughter, a gentle middle-aged woman who had no children with her husband.
Xia Mu just filled this vacancy, but unfortunately the good times didn't last long, and her husband soon had a car accident, and the rescue was ineffective and died! And she couldn't bear the double blow of the death of her mother and husband, and committed suicide by jumping off the building!
He still remembers the desperate look in the dean's daughter before parting!
After several tosses and turns, Xia Mu was adopted by many people and also had many "homes"!
However, it will not last long, and there will always be some bad luck that befalls his family, which will be torn apart!
Xia Mu began the tenth year of independence...
Xia Mu only remembered that the head of the household was a short, swarthy and honest man, and his wife was a middle-aged woman who loved beauty all day long.
It is true that Xia Mu has no feelings for this family, he just wants to be independent as soon as possible, live his own life, and no longer hurt anyone!
However, no one can say such a thing as fate!
Even if Xia Mu is alone every day, refuses to contact with classmates, "family", or even refuses to talk!
I can't stop the bad luck from coming!
…
The honest man is dead!!
As soon as she got home, Xia Mu heard the bad news, the bitter woman was crying and preparing to go to the hospital, and when she saw him, her eyes burst out with hatred!
suddenly grabbed Xia Mu's neck, and the sharp sound came into his ears through his eardrums.
"You broom star, you caused my man to die, you pay for your life!"
The long nails cut through the neck, and the blood flowed into Xia Mu's chest, listening to the harsh woman's mean words, Xia Mu's head suddenly "Weng" sounded, and the power that burst out from nowhere pushed the snarky woman to the ground.
The snarky woman who was pushed to the ground was obviously stunned, and she didn't expect that the usual "stuffy gourd" would dare to fight back? !
I just wanted to teach this "stuffy gourd" a good lesson, but what greeted me was Xia Mu's blood-red eyes!
The bitter woman was suddenly frightened and took two steps back, as if she had thought of something, and shouted sharply: "Broom star, hurry up and get out of me", and then hurried out of the door, and the scolding could be heard far away.
…
At this time, Xia Mu did "get out", leaving this home, running aimlessly, and having nowhere to vent his anger, which made him very crazy!
I don't know how long I ran, but the sky was getting dark, dark clouds covered the entire sky, and the winter drizzle was like maggots attached to the bones.
The cold that goes deep into the bone marrow!
Xia Mu stopped, not that he was tired, but that he was too cold!
The surroundings are no longer familiar, there are no warm lights, no delicious dinners, no home to live in!!
Xia Mu hid under a big tree, trying to resist the cold rain!
It's a pity that the sky is not beautiful!
The rain is getting heavier... From drizzling to torrential downpour!
The raindrops ran down the trunk of the tree, forming columns of water and hitting Xia Mu's back, it was extremely cold, but he could only bear it!
Xia Mu knew that this rain would last all night, and it would be sunny tomorrow, but he couldn't last this night!
Human beings are very fragile, and Xia Mu, who has been malnourished for a long time, is even more petite and thin!
What can you do against this cold and rainy night?!
Xia Mu began to hate!
He hated his parents for not bringing him into this world!
He hates those orphanages!
He hated those who adopted him!
He hates... This world!
…
I don't know how long it took, just when Xia Mu's consciousness was about to blur, a kind voice came!
"Are you alright?"
Listening to the voice is an old man, a very kind old man!
The weak Xia Mu opened his slightly closed eyes with all his might, and when he saw it, an old man, wearing a slightly shabby cotton jacket, holding an old black umbrella, and his green water shoes were full of mud!
Even on a cold and rainy night, the old man had a kind smile and covered Xia Mu's rain-soaked body with a wide umbrella.
"I... It's okay" Xia Mu responded weakly, and then, subconsciously pushed aside the big black umbrella blocking his head.
He didn't want to kill the old man in front of him, whoever came into contact with him would have bad luck!
Xia Mu's action made the old man stunned, but the old man immediately covered the water column above his head with an umbrella, and asked, "Child, you will catch a cold like this, where is your home?" I'll send you home first! ”
"Home?! No, leave me alone, you go! ”
Xia Mu's words made the old man stunned again, and then the old man showed a knowing smile and said softly: "Quarreled with the family?" ”
"It's not!"
Xia Mu immediately denied it, and continued in a cold tone: "I advise you to leave me alone, you will die!" ”
If ordinary people heard Xia Mu's words, they would probably scold and walk away, but the old man in front of him was different, he was just surprised, and then said with a smile: "Child, I'm not afraid!" ”
Maybe in the old man's heart, he thought that what Xia Mu said was just angry words!
Hearing his words, Xia Mu couldn't help but glance at him more, his emaciated face was full of coldness, and he continued to remind: "I'm not kidding, you go!" Or you're going to die! ”
This time, the old man didn't speak again, but picked him up in Xia Mu's dull gaze, not caring about the mud and rain on his body at all!
"Let's go, kid, come home with me first, and then go to your parents tomorrow!"
After speaking, the old man didn't give Xia Mu a chance to answer, so he took advantage of the situation to carry him on his back and walked in one direction.
At this moment, Xia Mu, who was being carried on his back, was still sluggish, he didn't expect that he would say that he would die, and the old man didn't get angry, nor did he treat him as a psychopath, but carried him behind him and wanted to take him home!
Suddenly, Xia Mu felt that his eyes were a little moist, and warm tears kept flowing down.
[Even the cold wind that blows becomes extremely warm]!
