Back in his bedroom, Chu Cheng closed the bedroom door with his backhand and subconsciously played with the ring in his hand.

The ring is like a warm jade in his hand, and the delicate and familiar touch can't help but Chu Cheng's eyes squint slightly.

Instinctively, Chu Cheng slowly put the ring on his finger......

"Boom!" In the next second, Chu Cheng's body suddenly straightened!

It's like the picture in the American comic movies in the previous life, when Thanos wore the Infinity Gauntlet. A stream of colorful energy turned into a light filament like a zigzag loop, which followed Chu Cheng's index finger and instantly spread to his whole body.

Chu Cheng's brain went blank for a moment, and the whole person was like an electric shock. By the time he came to his senses, the vision from the ring had vanished.

In Chu Cheng's mind, there was an extra line of text.

The shape of this line of text is very strange, like a combination of non-mainstream symbols and cuneiform script.

What's even more strange is that although Chu Cheng didn't know these words, the meaning of these words naturally came to his mind.

【The Ring of the Nibelungen is open...... Opening Progress 1%】

"Is it something like a 'system'? Could it be that the environment of this world activates the hidden function of the ring? ”

Chu Cheng thought that in his previous life, he had come into contact with a containment object called "Anomalous Body". In order to deal with the "anomaly", he had to read a lot of online novels, so he naturally knew about the 'system'.

The so-called "anomaly" is the embodiment of the thoughts of sentient beings.

When the general public subconsciously thinks that something really exists, there is a certain probability that this thing will be embodied by the thoughts of sentient beings, and this is a fantasy.

Because most of the anomalies have archetypes in the second dimension, and some are even directly the embodiment of the characters in the anime novel. Therefore, in his previous life, as the captain of the Huaya Heavy Industry Task Force, Chu Cheng must have enough understanding of some widely circulated online articles and animations, and he naturally read a lot of systematic articles.

However, the next situation was unexpected by Chu Cheng.

After that line of writing appeared in my head, there was no follow-up. There are no middle two lines such as "Ding Dong, system binding" as described in the system text.

Chu Cheng tried to touch which line of words with his consciousness, and suddenly new information poured into his mind.

【Ring of the Nibelungen opening progress stalled......】

[Hint: The Ring of the Nibelungen will only be activated when the host has gone through life and death......]

"It must be opened between life and death?" Chu Cheng frowned slightly, "Do you want me to take the initiative to commit suicide, and then let this ring ...... Bring me back to life? ”

Such a thought passed through Chu Cheng's heart, but he immediately denied it.

According to Chu Cheng's analysis, the so-called experience of life and death is likely to refer to a state of struggling to survive during the near death, rather than actively giving up hope of life......

Therefore, compared with active suicide, it is obviously safer to be killed by action, and it is also more in line with the connotation of this prompt just now.

"Well, since that's the case, it's decided. Next...... Dead by the action! Chu Cheng made a decision with a serious face.

As for the risk of "death", Chu Cheng naturally also considered it, but compared to the huge 'benefits' that may be obtained, this risk is almost negligible.

You must know that the ring in Chu Cheng's hand protected his soul under the impact of an almost infinite amount of information!

If such a treasure can be used by him, Chu Cheng's situation will definitely change completely.

Compared with the hope of saving his mother and the possibility of finding the only one, Chu Cheng is still willing to take this risk.

Having made up his mind, Chu Cheng did not alarm his mother, but quietly went out.

Today's village is particularly bleak, giving people a sense of mourning.

It seems that the young and strong people in the village have been summoned to the village chief's house. At this moment, there are only scattered old and sick people on the street, staggering like the walking dead.

Chu Cheng passed by these people, and saw that most of these people's eyes were empty and numb, as if their souls had been drained by life.

"It's so pathetic. Human nature is like this, sometimes after kneeling for a long time, you can no longer stand up straight. Chu Cheng sighed lightly, but there was not much pity in his tone.

In his opinion, it is his choice to become a strong or a weak person in the final analysis.

Since it is your own choice, you must bear the consequences of your choice. Chu Cheng is not the protagonist of the Virgin's novel, in his opinion, people who can't stand up straight after kneeling for a long time are not worthy of his pity!

Retracting his gaze, Chu Cheng no longer looked at the villagers who were like the walking dead, what he was more concerned about at the moment was his "death" plan.

How can we die safely and efficiently? I have to say, this is a problem.

Since it is death, it is necessary to be exposed to danger, but fortunately, the last thing that is lacking in this world is danger.

Whether it's the metal wilderness outside the village infested by automata, or the terrifying and secluded underground, it's enough to easily kill people.

But the question is, how should Chu Cheng choose.

If the chosen place is not dangerous enough, it will not be able to force Chu Cheng to the brink of life and death;

But if the chosen place is too dangerous, it is tantamount to suicide. Even that luck in the dark may not be able to protect him.

"In the final analysis, it is my strength that determines what kind of danger I can bear." Chu Cheng began to evaluate his own strength.

Although his body is only an eighteen-year-old boy, his polemic power is actually not weak.

In his previous life, as one of the captain-level combat forces of Huaya Heavy Industry, Chu Cheng naturally had some unique training methods.

His seemingly thin body was actually just a disguise. If it really is a life-and-death fight, even Brian is by no means his opponent.

"Look! It's that little bastard coming! At this moment, a gong-like voice suddenly interrupted Chu Cheng's thoughts.

Chu Cheng turned around suddenly, and saw an eighteen or nineteen-year-old obese teenager, surrounded by a group of peers, scolding "mongrel" and the like, while hooking his fingers provocatively at him.

This group of guys is probably the most energetic group on the whole street.

"Tsk, look at this posture...... You can't come and step on me, right? Chu Cheng suddenly remembered the plot in the novel where the protagonist was "stepped on" by his peers for no reason, and couldn't help but laugh dumbly.

With his experience, it is naturally impossible to be as careless as the group of children of the same age in front of him.

Thinking of this, Chu Cheng was about to leave.

Who knows, Chu Cheng's "timid" move stimulated the other party.

Someone actually picked up the metal scrap from the ground and threw it at him without saying a word.

"Whoosh! Sou! Several sharp wind-breaking sounds came, but Chu Cheng easily "moved" to dodge.

At the same time, the corners of Chu Cheng's mouth suddenly hooked up with a black arc, and just now, he suddenly thought of an idea.
