Chapter 1: The Beginning and the Darkness

As soon as Bai Si woke up from his coma, his brain went blank for a while.

"It hurts, it hurts, it hurts..."

A voice roared in Bai Siyi's head, constantly expounding the only feeling in her. Compared to the pain and dizziness in the inside of the skull, the pain in the back of the head and elbows is insignificant.

"Little Sky, White Sky..."

After a few moments, Bai Siyi struggled to suppress the intense pain that had struck, and shouted a name with difficulty. Her voice was not much louder than the moans of a terminally ill patient, so, after waiting for a moment and receiving no response, she barely gathered a little more strength and called out her brother's name again.

However, there was still silence in her answer.

Bai Si lay motionless for a while. Beneath her was the cold, hard touch of the floor, and in front of her was an absolute darkness she hadn't felt in twenty-four years since she was born. The boundless darkness in front of him, and the long-term response in his ears, made Bai Siyi's heart clench tightly, and gradually sank again.

Bai Siyi twitched his eyelids slightly, trying to roll his eyeballs. However, she only experienced a more intense pain, and a feeling of emptiness under her eyelids.

Has anyone ever noticed the sound of eyeballs rubbing against their eyelids when they move, at least now Bai Siyi desperately needs this sound.

No, her eyes were gone.

Bai Siyi trembled his hands and slowly touched his eye sockets, but he lost all his courage in the middle of the process, and could only stiffen his hands in the air in front of his face.

Bai Siyi wanted to scream again, but when the voice came to his throat, it only turned into a meaningless jumble of strange sounds.

Bai Siyi didn't know where a force burst out of his body, and suddenly he turned over and groped frantically on the ground. She hadn't thought about the point of doing this, she was desperate to find one, or two, wet and slippery balls on the ground.

Bai Siyi frantically groped for a long time on the cold floor, bumping into more than one object. The arm also slammed into a sharp corner that might have been the corner of the coffee table. Eventually, it was the pain and dizziness in her head that caused her to stop after hitting the wall for an unknown number of times.

Bai Siyi leaned against the wall tightly, sat weakly on the floor, his rapid breathing gradually calmed down, and finally calmed down a little.

At least, the frenzied fumbling just now wasn't for nothing. Bai Siyi told herself, at least she was sure that Bai Kong was not in this room.

She reached out and tried to touch the back of her head. The hair on the back of the head is a little sticky, tangled together with some semi-dried liquid. Bai Siyi touched his scalp, and his mouth suddenly let out a painful inhalation sound of "hiss". There was a wound that was no longer bleeding, the wound was not large, but the skin around the wound was already swollen and tall.

Bai Si put his hand under his nose and sniffed it, and sure enough, he smelled the blood of his hand.

It seems that someone once used a heavy object with a corner to hit him hard in the back of her head.

Bai Siyi struggled to resist the pain in her head, struggling through her memories to find some information that would explain her current condition.

All this must have something to do with the world she and her brother entered inexplicably.

She couldn't remember what she and her brother were doing before they appeared in this world, no matter how hard she tried. It seems that someone has roughly cut out her memories and then casually linked them together. A quarter of an hour ago, she and her brother were still eating dinner at the table. The dinner in my memory was two simple home-cooked dishes, and the aroma of the meals can be clearly recalled. Then in the next second, she and Shiraku appeared on a path straight forward.

On both sides of the path is a white mist, and once you enter it, you can get lost a few meters away. So, two people can only keep going in one direction along the path.

Maybe after a minute of walking, or maybe five minutes later, they came to the front of this strange town.

At the entrance to the town, between two wooden poles, there is a banner with red letters on a white background, on which are written several large characters.

"Welcome to the training ground for beginners."

These words do not seem to have been printed or written with normal paint. The blackened red, and the liquid depression at the edges of the text caused by the fact that the paint was hastily hung before it dried up, made people suddenly emerge with a not-so-good conjecture.

"That's blood." Bai Kong said softly in his somewhat feminine voice. The sound of the white sky is always so soft, like a feather, gently scratching your ears. If you don't listen carefully, it will dissipate into the air at any time, and you will not be able to capture it again.

Bai Siyi frowned, not looking at the somewhat eerie banner, her attention was drawn to a sign standing in the center of the path. This sign is placed in the middle of the road. If you want to enter the town behind the sign, you can only go around the sign, and you will never miss it.

Bai Siyi stepped forward cautiously, and to her slight relief, although the text on the notice board was also red, it was obviously red paint. It's not written in blood like the welcome banner overhead.

"Beginner's Notice." Shiraku stepped forward, and then read the words on the sign in a soft and slow voice.

"First of all, congratulations on getting a second chance to be alive. As for how long you can survive this time, it's up to you to get into the fun of the game as quickly as possible. After reading this sentence, Bai Kong paused for a moment, as if he was a little confused, and muttered the words "the second time" and "game" in his mouth again before continuing to read.

"This training ground is set up to help beginners quickly adapt to the game, as long as you complete the tasks of this training ground, you can become an official player of this game."

Bai Kong glanced at Bai Siyi, and his eyes sparkled, as if revealing a sense of helplessness. Seeing that his sister was still staring at the sign, not receiving his gaze, and not responding to any movements, Bai Kong continued to read.

"It's very simple, just enter the beginner's training ground and kill at least one other player in the scene, then you can leave the training ground and really get in touch with our incredibly beautiful and magnificent game world."

Bai Siyi's face changed, the same color as his hair, and his eyebrows, which were slightly brown, wrinkled tightly. However, contrary to my sister's expression, after reading this sentence, the corners of Bai Kong's mouth slightly hooked an arc, and there was a hint of expectation in his eyes.

Bai Kong subconsciously rubbed his left hand back and forth on the index finger and middle finger of his right hand a few times, which was obviously a sign that he was very excited.

Bai Kong's voice trembled with excitement when he spoke. However, Bai Siyi, who was thinking about the current situation at the time, did not notice this.

"Reminder one, once you enter the novice training ground scene, you can't leave the training ground scene without completing the task."

"Tip two, the player's initial ability has been opened. This ability will stay with the player until they die. Please take good care of your abilities and use them to complete mission objectives. After all, in this game, maybe only your ability will not betray you. As long as you silently recite the information about your abilities in your mind, you can get information about your abilities. ”

"Tip 3: Before a novice player passes the novice training, other features that the official player has are not open. However, there is no guarantee that no player in the Beginner Training Ground will use the game features that a regular gamer has. ”

"So, good luck and have fun."

Bai Kong read the remaining lines of text in one go. Then he stared at Bai Siyi, who was frowning tightly, and seemed to be a little impatient to enter the town in front of him.

Bai Siyi read the sign carefully after Bai Kong's voice fell. She seemed to want to chew up every word on the sign and make it clear again. After a while, Bai Si turned his body to face Bai Kong, and Bai Kong had already hidden his excitement again. It looks like it's the usual sixteen-year-old shy boy again.

"So, let me break it down." Finally, Bai Si spoke in a crisp voice with a sense of confidence.

The way she speaks, the first impression she gives to others, will be that she is a very capable and strong woman.

Sure enough, it's about to start again. Bai Hollow knew in his heart what was going on.

"There are a few words in that that I really care about." Bai Siyi tilted his head and bit his lower lip with his teeth, thinking about how to express his thoughts clearly. A strand of long, slightly brown hair on her forehead slid down in front of her eyes. Bai Siyi pinned the strand of hair behind his ear with his hand before he continued.

First of all, it is the welcome sentence at the beginning, why it is said to be a second life. If this is just an exaggerated expression of a new life, then the meaning that our first life has ended revealed in the next sentence is too disturbing. What's more, the way we came to this place, as well as the place itself, is weird. Do you remember how we got here? ”

Bai Kong thought about it seriously, and was also puzzled by the lack of his memory, so Bai Kong also frowned, and then shook his head,

Bai Kong's hair is slightly long, soft and soft on his head, his hair is pure black different from Bai Jiyi, with his weak appearance, pale skin, and a shy smile that often hangs on his face, coupled with his slightly shorter height than the average peer, he looks like a sick and beautiful boy who came out of a Japanese shoujo manga.

"And then there's this mission to kill a person. Although the notice says it's a game, I don't think we can be resurrected in this game if we die in this game. The first reason is still the welcome message of how long can you save a second life. Another reason is that if this game can be resurrected indefinitely, then it makes no sense to make such a beginner training ground alone, which requires killing people to clear the level. Wouldn't it be easier to let everyone fight directly in the official game? ”

Bai Siyi bit his lip again, biting his lip more red.

"So, either everyone can only have one life, or the punishment after death will be very severe, and most people are not willing to bear it."

Hearing this, Bai Kong nodded in agreement. He never interrupted his sister when she was trying to analyze things. However, when Bai Siyi thought about it seriously, he really had a different kind of charm. That calm look, always wants people to do something, so that that calmness no longer exists.

"And then, this training ground, I don't seem to care if I enter this town. This means that something must happen that makes us have to enter the town to complete the mission. On that note, I'd like to try it out and see what it would be like to go the other way down. Although it is likely to be useless. Bai Siyi sighed slightly.

Bai Kong nodded again, in the past so many years of dependence, as long as it is a decision made by Bai Siyi, it will be the final decision. Hakura never succeeded in opposing his sister's decision, and slowly, Hakura got used to nodding quietly after his sister made a decision. However, Bai Siyi never seemed to be wrong, at least Bai Siyi thought so.

"Also, this sign doesn't mention what the punishment will be if you don't complete the task all the time. So, there must be some reason why we have to complete the mission after entering the town. If we are to do the tasks according to the arrangement, we must not go down this path. ”

Shiraku listened quietly, only occasionally making a small gesture in response. After so many years, Bai Kong has long understood that all Bai Siyi needs is an audience that can listen to her, and Bai Kong has always been the most qualified listener.

"It's too big to go in this way, and we've been walking on this path for a while, and we haven't seen anyone else at all. We must not expose ourselves first without knowing where the others are. ”

After gushing so much about his own analysis, Bai Siyi got a different kind of satisfaction in the process. Then she turned and took a stride in the direction they had come.

"We'll talk about the rest as we go." Bai Si made a gesture towards Bai Kong, motioning for him to follow. Bai Siyi's fingers are clean and slender, and his palms are not as soft as most girls, but have distinct joints.

Bai Kong silently followed Bai Si one step away, and his speed was the same as that of the person walking in front of him, just keeping a distance that was not close or far.

Behind Bai Si's invisible, Bai Kong silently thought about what to decide. It was very difficult to make this decision, and he was a little distracted, so he missed another long passage from Bai Siyi. Bai Kong only vaguely heard that Bai Siyi seemed to be talking about a few speculations about the last hint.

It wasn't until Bai Kong finally made this important decision, and Bai Siyi also asked about his ability at this time, that Bai Kong's face returned to his usual shy smile, and he answered his sister's question in his soft voice.

"I've just experimented with the method above according to the prompt, and there is indeed a description of the ability. It's an amazing feeling. ”

Bai Kong reminisced about that feeling, like the content stored in the hard drive of a computer, as long as you calm down and silently recite the key words in your mind, those information can emerge at any time.

"However, my abilities may not be able to help my sister much." There was a hint of guilt in Bai Kong's tone. "It's an ability that doesn't work until after killing the other person, and it allows me to gain some benefits." Bai Kong simply explained his ability, and did not tell Bai Siyi the description of the skill in detail.

As soon as Bai Si heard his answer, he subconsciously touched his long hair with his hand, and sighed helplessly, very distressed.

"My ability is also useful only after the other party dies first. Moreover, the conditions for the activation of this ability are really hard to describe. It's best not to use this ability in your life. Bai Siyi was also reluctant to explain his abilities to his younger brother for some unspeakable reasons.

Bai Siyi seemed to want to change the subject, suddenly stopped and turned around, staring at Bai Kong without blinking, and said to Bai Kong in a categorical tone.

"Sister will definitely find a way, we will definitely be able to live, believe me."

Bai Kong didn't expect his sister to stop suddenly, and almost bumped into Bai Siyi's body at once. Bai Kong raised his head slightly to look at his sister's face, and was suddenly stabbed by the brilliance in Bai Si's eyes, and quickly lowered his head to stagger Bai Siyi's gaze.

"Well, sister, I believe in you." Hakura replied in a low voice. The faint voice was inaudible to him.

Bai Siyi was accustomed to his younger brother's shy appearance, and did not expect him to give a resounding answer. So, Bai Siyi turned around again, turned his back to Bai Kong, took a deep breath, raised an arm, and pointed forward,

"Let's go, let's go in."

Not far ahead, the first thing that caught my eye was still the welcome banner written in blood. In the middle of the road, there is still a sign with the same content written on it. At the end of the road, there was still a town exactly like the one before.

They chose to walk in the opposite direction, but sure enough, they were back in front of the novice training ground.
