Chapter 2 The remnant sun is like ink, and the boy walks alone

The boy stood blankly under a huge electronic billboard in Times Square. It was noon, and there was an endless stream of pedestrians around him, but no one noticed his dazed expression at this moment. Because everyone who comes to Times Square for the first time will be more or less shocked by its brilliant appearance.

But no one noticed that the boy had been standing here for too long, so long that time seemed to have stood still in him, with pedestrians coming and going, and advertisements on billboards playing over and over again, but he was the only one who stood silently, quietly, under the sun, in the midst of this bustling city, silent.

I don't know how long it took, the sky gradually darkened, and the scorching sun in the sky was obscured by the moon that traveled between the sun and the earth.

The neon lights in Times Square shone brightly, and people stood on their feet, looking up to watch this rare eclipse.

It was only at this time that the boy seemed to be liberated from standing still time, he slowly raised his head, looked at the sun with only one circle of sun wheels left above his head, slowly breathed a sigh of relief, and gently spat out a few words from his mouth that only he could hear, "Is that really the case?" ”

After Jiang Chuge left those people, he came to Times Square in a trance, he had seen Times Square on TV, and goodbye at this moment, Jiang Chuge's heart was finally half cold.

I'm afraid what those people said was true.

But the young man insisted that he stood in time, under the huge billboard in Times Square for so long, just to verify what the soft-armored men were saying in order to win their trust.

He said that soon the world would be engulfed in a solar eclipse, and then a monster called a vampire would appear on the streets and kill people wantonly.

Now that the eclipse has come, half of that man's prophecy has been fulfilled.

Jiang Chuge still wanted to wait for the second prophecy to come, but his mind began to recall what the man had said at the beginning.

According to him, they entered a world of reincarnation. The so-called world of reincarnation is not a single world, but consists of a series of almost innumerable planes, which are based on real-world movies, animations, and game stories.

For example, they are in the world of an American drama called "Bloodline". But unlike the elegant vampire, the blood clan of this world is an infectious disease similar to parasites, some similar to the "tyrant" virus of Resident Evil, but it is more terrifying, people who have been sucked blood, whether they live or die, will be transformed by a parasite like a white slender earthworm within a few hours to a few days, and become a completely different creature, pale, the reproductive system has completely disappeared, and the tongue in the mouth has become like a frog's tongue that can easily pop out several meters away and grab the throat of others, The sharp teeth at the tip of the tongue then cut the blood vessels in the throat, sucking blood from them and releasing parasites to infect. The reason why such parasites are more terrible than the tyrant virus is that the infected person is not in a state of "death", but a living creature, so they are more agile in their movements, and have a certain amount of intelligence, they can use tools to break down obstacles, and the speed of the three-meter-long tongue is even faster than that of a crossbow arrow, and ordinary people can't guard against it without paying attention.

If it was really said by that group of people, Jiang Chuge thought sadly that he might not be able to go back in a short time.

Because the man said that only after completing the tasks given to them by the Book of Contracts would they be able to return to a place called the Final City, and that they would be able to use the quests to earn something called "Survival Points", so that they could continue to live in their dead bodies and return to the real world.

So at this moment, whether Jiang Chuge wants to or not, he and his mother have really crossed the entire universe.

"Help!"

Just when Jiang Chuge was out of his mind, an extremely high-pitched voice for help came from not far from him, and he raised his head a little dazedly, and found that about fifty meters away from him, a naked, pale-skinned man was holding a white woman as if he was doing something indecent. The white woman struggled desperately while cursing from her mouth.

Even in such a noisy time, the woman's voice still overpowered all the other voices, and clearly reached Jiang Chuge's ears, he leaned forward, and then felt that something was wrong. Because Jiang Chuge found that the woman scolded fluently and standard Mandarin.

Immediately, Jiang Chuge noticed that it was not just the woman, but even the crowd of onlookers around him were all in Mandarin like announcers, but he didn't pay attention to it just now. If it is understandable that a person or even a group of people speak Mandarin on the streets of New York, but everyone is speaking Mandarin, this makes Jiang Chuge a little surprised, such a large area of standard Mandarin is rarely heard even in China, not to mention that he is standing on the streets of New York.

At first, I didn't pay attention to the appearance of the men and elves because they were Asian, but now I think about their standard Mandarin that seems a little weird, is this the hand and foot of the Book of Contracts to prevent us from failing the mission due to the language barrier after entering these worlds?

Jiang Chuge secretly speculated for a while, and then realized that he should not think about these things at this time, but should focus on the "light" scene.

The crowd of onlookers had already rushed up to take the pale-skinned man, the man's strength seemed to be great, and the three adult men stepped forward before they could barely pull the man away, and the woman who was lightly treated was unable to speak for some reason after the man was pulled away, lying quietly on the ground, holding her throat with her left hand, trembling slightly.

Pale as snow, the strength is infinite, at least the strength of three people......

Jiang Chuge seemed to faintly see that terrible tongue.

Looks like that's what they're talking about......

Jiang Chuge looked at the white man who was finally controlled, and said involuntarily, "Has the second prophecy also come true?"

The naked man had been restrained at this time, and after Jiang Chuge witnessed all this, he retreated and disappeared into the crowd.

He didn't give them a warning about anything, because he knew that no matter what he said, people would think he was talking gibberish, just as they thought the group was talking gibberish at first.

None of the people around them noticed, just as they didn't notice that this eclipse was the beginning of their nightmare.

……

At the same time that Jiang Chuge left Times Square, the so-called veterans also walked the streets of New York with newcomers. At this moment, the veterans have changed into ordinary casual clothes, which are not conspicuous in the crowd.

At this moment, they were surrounding the soft-armored man, looking at a booklet in his hand.

It's not so much a pamphlet as it is a small black crusty notebook.

This thing is not actually a physical object, but something like a summon. It is the credential of their group, or all those who have entered this strange world, which is equivalent to the ID card in the reincarnation world. People in the ordinary mission world can't see and touch this book.,And people in the same reincarnation world can see it.,But it's also impossible to snatch or destroy.,Of course, it doesn't have any attack or defense.,Whether it's used to smash people or block bullets,It's impossible.。

This powerful book of contracts truly comes from the master of the reincarnation world, a city called the "Final City". It is said that all transactions in the Final City can be made with this book of contracts, and its effect is not possible for even the strongest veterans to break it.

In addition, it has other wonderful uses, such as the first page of the book of contracts in the hand of the engraved man, on which a few lines are written in small block letters.

World: Bloodline.

World difficulty: Silver Medium.

Survival Mission: Survive for 30 days or kill 100 infected. Each infected person killed will earn 30 survival points.

(Note: When killing 100 infected people before the time limit of thirty days, they will immediately leave the world of Bloodline, otherwise they will leave this world after thirty days.) )

Reward Mission (Helping the Newcomer): Prevent the infected from leaving Manhattan for seven days, and reward the team with 3,000 Survival Points after completing the mission.

Hunt Mission: (Difficulty: Silver Lower) Kill Ancestor Zadoux. Quest completion will reward you with a silver card and 3,000 survival points

Hunt Quest Extension: (Difficulty: Silver Superior) Find the Holy Land where the Ancestor Sadoux is hiding, destroy his Holy Land, and completely wipe out his chance of resurrection. If the task is completed, you will be rewarded with a silver card and 8,000 points.

(Note: This quest can only be completed after completing the Hunt mission.) )

Other tasks: Trigger conditions not met.

……

"How's it going, can you complete the mission?" The elf asked.

The man was silent for a while, then looked at the man with glasses who looked a little calm on the side, "Glasses, what do you think." ”

The man called the glasses also thought for a while, and said, "According to the description of the mission, what we can complete is the most basic survival task and reward task, the hunting task can be tried, and the final extension task I recommend giving up, according to our information, the Holy Land of the Ancestor is all hidden in a very hidden place, it is too difficult to find it in thirty days, and if you want to completely destroy the Holy Land of the Ancestor, you can only use strategic weapons above nuclear weapons, We don't have weapons of this caliber in our hands, and we can't get them from this world, so I don't recommend them. ”

The man nodded, "My thoughts are the same as glasses, the possibility of the silver upper difficulty task being able to complete for our team is close to zero, so we might as well focus on the tasks that can be completed, after this mission world, our team should be able to be promoted to the bronze team, and then we will be able to rely on some larger teams for development, I don't think there is any need to take risks at this moment." ”

Hearing the man's words, the other two nodded in agreement, and the woman suddenly pointed to the newcomer who was cowering behind her with her eyes and asked, "What about them?" ”

"Find them a hotel to stay in." The man replied, and he shook his head, "It's a pity that three of us gave up, otherwise we would have gained more this time." ”

"If it weren't for the kid who left early to take the lead, how dare those three people follow and leave!"

The tall, thin man said angrily, he turned his head to look at the soft-armored man and asked, "Captain, why don't you let me kill him?" ”

"Skinny!" The soft-armored man shouted in a low voice, "You remember, the newcomers are willing to give them to our protection, and I will charge a fee from them, this is an equal deal, and it doesn't hurt; But if you force them, the nature is completely different...... I am not a moral saint, but because I have heard some old people say that this final city was established in the first place has a deeper meaning, and that every action you take will have an impact on your future mission world. Although the old man didn't say it thoroughly, some things that happened later also made me vaguely understand something, so thin man, if you want to live longer, you have to pay more attention to your behavior, you know? ”

"Yes, Captain." The thin man looked a little unhappy, but respectfully agreed.

At this time, the sky gradually darkened, and everyone present raised their heads to see the sun in the sky slowly being eaten away by a black shadow.

It turned out that it was the arrival of a solar eclipse.

Because of the unexpected arrival of darkness, the streets of New York began to look a little chaotic, and the voices of the people around them were suddenly amplified, and the sound of insults and shoves pulled the streets of New York City into darkness, and the whole city had the illusion that it was no longer a metropolis but an execution ground at this moment.

But the veterans turned a blind eye to this, and they just watched from the sidelines. After looking at it for a while, the man lowered his head and said, "Let's take action, take them to see this so-called blood clan first, and then leave the crowd quickly." The street will be unsafe for a while, and although we are not afraid, if we lose a new person, or even just because of the crowd that makes the new person lose us, we will lose more than we gain. ”

Everyone nodded, and the woman smiled and walked towards the newcomer, and in a few moments, the group of nine disappeared at the end of the street.
