Chapter 5: The Ritual of Rebirth

Led by Captain Mike, everyone cautiously stepped off the ship.

The first thing that catches your eye is a pale red sky and brown-red ground, and the smell of brimstone and carrion fills the air.

Xu Ye opened the Glory terminal and looked at it, but his intelligence was still depressed by 4 points.

"Fortunately, the effect of the medicine has not passed, otherwise in this environment, there may be some kind of hallucination. ”

In front of the landing platform, a man in a black trench coat stood there with a serious face, and a faint black aura lingered around him, which was very uncomfortable.

"Hey, Zhang Xuan, are you lucky to be robbed by you again?" the captain smiled and stepped forward to say hello, as if he was not affected by the aura on his body at all.

"yes, Mike, I'm out of luck this time. What about you, is the mission still going well?" replied the man named Zhang Xuan with the same smile.

"It's not bad, there are only two idiots who didn't bind the terminal on this trip, and they were left in the space mezzanine, and the remaining one brought back a total of thirteen newcomers. ”

"Thirteen? That's not your style. I remember that you usually only bring back seven or eight at most. ”

The two simply left Xu Ye and a group of them aside, and chatted with themselves.

"Isn't this all forced, the demand for newcomers in the Tower of Glory has skyrocketed recently, my workload has almost tripled, and even the rest time has been reduced by more than half······ By the way, do you know what's going on? ”

"It's the Black Wing Sect," Zhang Xuan paused for a moment and continued: "Some time ago, they made a series of big moves in the Pantheon, and the entire third floor was implicated, and many people died. It is estimated that in order to balance the number of evolutionaries, the Tower of Glory temporarily increased the amount of new people absorbed. ”

"It's those bastards again! Isn't there anyone who cares?

"The Tower of Glory has long been wanted by the Black Wing Sect, but they are too cunning, they actually hid in the Demon Blood Forest, relying on their own strength to infinitely close to the fourth order, even if the big people of the fifth layer really come down, they are not sure to wipe them out in the Demon Blood Forest······"

"Forget it, it's not my turn to worry about this kind of thing, I can just do my job. ”

"Mike, in fact, as long as you are willing to make a move, I think the Tower of Glory will definitely lift the restrictions on you temporarily, and ······ then"

"Thanks, my friend. But I swore I wouldn't interfere in your business. ”

With that, Captain Mike shook his head, turned around and walked past Xu Ye and them, and slowly walked towards his spaceship.

Zhang Xuan was silent for a while, and then put on a serious expression again, and then said loudly to Xu Ye and them (in the lingua franca of the human race):

"Alright, rookies, from now on, I'll take over you. Presumably, when you were on the spaceship, you already had a general understanding of the Tower of Glory, so ······"

"Wait, wait, my husband is missing!Help me,please!"

Everyone looked back, it was a white woman, about thirty years old, with a beautiful face and a very good body, so many people had an impression of her, remembering that there was indeed a white man on the spaceship who was very close to her, but that person disappeared with a Japanese girl in pink pajamas when the spaceship entered the world of Taki.

According to the captain, the two of them were not bound to the Glory Terminal and were left in the World Mezzanine.

"Your man is dead, if you don't want to die, shut me up right away!" Zhang Xuan yelled impatiently.

“Oh,no,no,that is not true!Please,tell me ,that is not true!That is not······ (Oh, no, no, it's not true!Please, tell me it's not true!······ )”

"There's a lot of nonsense, let's die!" Zhang Xuan saw that the woman was unforgiving, his eyes suddenly cold, and he scolded (in Chinese), and then waved his right hand, and the black aura that lingered on his body split into a small stream and pounced on the woman.

The woman screamed and tried to dodge, but the black aura was too fast, and in an instant, it pounced on her face and followed her facial features.

As the black aura crept into her brain, she suddenly went crazy and cried out, with a terrified expression on her face, as if she had seen the most terrible thing in the world. After a while, the poop was full of urine and feces, and he collapsed on the ground and could not move.

When everyone saw this scene, they all gasped and retreated to the side, no one dared to step forward to say a word for this beautiful woman who had just become a widow, and even when they looked at Zhang Xuan again, their eyes already showed surrender.

Seeing that the woman's movements were getting smaller and smaller, and in the end, only the strength to hold her head and tremble was left, Zhang Xuan raised his hand to take back those black breaths.

"I don't want this to happen a second time!"

Everyone lowered their heads in fear, not daring to look at Zhang Xuan or the woman.

Although she had regained her senses, she looked terrible, her pretty face was covered with saliva and snot, and the reddish dust on the ground, and she smelled of unpleasant excrement on her body, which made people reluctant to approach, and a pair of blank eyes stared blankly ahead, like a frightened little animal.

"Now, I will briefly say four points, and you will all give me a quiet ear to listen:"

"First, from the moment you set foot on this land, you no longer belong to any other world, and this will be your only home.

Of course, the Tower of Glory is not a prison. Even for some, it's paradise instead!

When you become four-dimensional beings, you will have an infinite lifespan. At the same time, the Tower of Glory will provide you with the resources and means you need to evolve again. As long as you have successfully evolved into five-dimensional beings, you can leave here at any time. ”

"Second, the Tower of Glory was built by beings of five dimensions, and I don't know why they did it. But one thing is clear, and that is that we don't have much choice in front of them, either evolve or die. ”

"Third, glory points!

Glory points are the only hard currency here, whether it is for daily life needs or to strengthen and improve yourself, you need a lot of glory points. It has everything you want, whether it's power, power, status, fame, beauty, mansions, views, food······ As long as you can afford the glory points, everything can be obtained.

As for the source of glory points, the Tower of Glory will regularly release tasks for you, and you will be rewarded with glory points after completing the tasks, and of course, if you complete it well enough, you can also get additional special rewards. There are specific rules for these, and they are all in the 'Glory System' on your terminals, so I won't explain them one by one. ”

"Fourth, the true Tower of Glory is only open to four-dimensional beings, and you are now only three-dimensional beings. Therefore, before you can officially start the mission, you must first reincarnate yourself into a four-dimensional life through the four-dimensional reincarnation pool, and you are an evolutionary like me. ”

"That's all you need to know at the moment, do you understand?"

"Understood!" replied in unison, but not loudly.

"Very good, now come with me, and I'll take you to the Four-Dimensional Reincarnation Pool. ”

After that, Zhang Xuan turned around and left, Xu Ye and the other twelve people hurriedly followed, only the woman remained in place, her eyes were hollow, her expression was dull, she squatted on the ground like a child and sobbed quietly, it seemed that her spirit had completely collapsed.

About an hour later, under the leadership of Zhang Xuan, everyone passed through an iron-blue canyon and came to the foot of a strange building.

The building is about 20 meters tall and is made of huge crimson stone bricks with eerie runes carved into the surface to look like a pyramid with a sleek top.

After a while, everyone climbed to the top of this "pyramid", which is a square platform with a side length of about 20 meters, and there is a large pit with a diameter of about 10 meters in the center of the platform, which is filled with boiling red liquid and exudes a pungent bloody smell, which is probably the so-called four-dimensional reincarnation pool.

"It looks like a king-sized spicy hot pot. Xu Ye muttered in a low voice.

"I hope it's not a hot pot, otherwise according to its size, it's likely to be used to shake us. At this time, only Liu Kai still had the heart to joke with Xu Ye.

"When you arrive, this is the Four-Dimensional Reincarnation Pool. Zhang Xuan said calmly: "The process of reincarnation is very simple, jump in directly, and the reincarnation liquid and reincarnation runes in the pool will help you complete the reincarnation ceremony." As for whether or not you can become a four-dimensional life in the end, it depends on whether you have enough courage and luck. ”

"Big brother, are you kidding, this water is boiling. Liu Kai couldn't help but ask.

"It's just that it looks like it's boiling, but in fact, the temperature of the reincarnation liquid is not high, only more than 50 degrees, and it won't even cause a slight burn. Zhang Xuan still looked light.

"Will we die?" asked a black man.

"The odds are very small, this is the third generation of reincarnation liquid, and the reincarnation power is more than 80%. ”

The crowd was silent, and an 80% success rate meant a 1 in 5 chance of failure. What happens if you fail? You may or may not die, but no one dares to gamble, after all, it is a matter of your own life, and no one wants to take risks easily, even if there is only a 1 in 5 chance of failure.

"Doesn't anyone want to try it?"

Zhang Xuan was not surprised by everyone's hesitation, but took out a pistol with an expressionless face, opened the insurance, went to the hall, and then closed his eyes:

"Since no one is taking the initiative, let's just play a little game: I'll count to three, and if I don't hear someone jumping into the reincarnation pool, I'll shoot randomly until someone gets shot, and then I'll give you another three seconds to breathe, and then I'll pick the next unlucky ghost, and so on. ”

"One ······"

"Two ······"

"Three"

"Plop"

The first to jump into the reincarnation pool was the black man who had just asked the question.

"Good, now you have three more seconds of hesitation. ”

"One ······"

"Two"

"Plop"

"Plop, plop, plop······"

In the face of the more direct threat to life brought by modern weapons, coupled with the fact that the first person took the lead, everyone's courage gradually increased, and in the blink of an eye, half of them had already jumped into the reincarnation pool.

"Dead face to the sky, alive for another year, fight!"

Seeing that most of the people had already jumped down, Xu Ye knew that he had no choice, so he left his backpack on the edge of the pool, and with his teeth biting his heart, he also jumped into the pool of reincarnation liquid like blood.

"It's hot!"

Water temperatures in the 50s may not cause serious burns, but not every part of the body can resist this temperature.

As Xu Ye continued to sink in the reincarnation pool, the hot liquid rushed towards him crazily, and his lungs, stomach, ear canal, rectum and even urethra were filled with reincarnation liquid, not to mention, he even launched an offensive on every pore on his body, and the burning sensation spread all over his body, as if he was a piece of wax that had fallen into molten iron, and it was constantly melting······

How deep is the reincarnation pool? I don't know, it's probably deeper than that building. Xu Ye only felt that he had been sinking, sinking, sinking, with no end. It doesn't matter if it's just sinking, although his lungs are filled with reincarnation fluid, he doesn't feel suffocated, the point is that something important seems to be slowly draining from his body.

"Is this the reincarnation a failure, and I'm going to die?"

The hallucinations seem to reappear, and his life is replaying in front of me like a movie:

I just finished working overtime, and before I could go home, I was kidnapped by aliens······

Confession to a colleague was ruthlessly rejected······

Because of his rich imagination, he made an exception and was promoted after just one year of employment······

After graduating from college, he decided to come to Beipiao, but after almost half a year, he found a job in a barely a game company······

When I was a junior, I quarreled with my girlfriend over a trivial matter······

After graduating from high school, I was finally admitted to university, but I was diagnosed with a delusional disorder, which did not cause death, but there was no cure······

When I was a freshman in high school, I had a splitting headache for the first time, and I thought I was going to die, so I was scared and cried······

When I was in my second year of junior high school, I had a crush on a girl for the first time······

······

I was just born, and I opened my eyes for the first time to see my parents, with a big smile on their faces, as if they had seen the best baby in the world······

Is it finally over, my dull life?

Consciousness returned to darkness, Xu Ye gradually stopped the sinking trend, the feeling on his body was gradually weakening, the tingling sensation began to disappear, and the reincarnation liquid was no longer hot, but became very warm, and even began to become cold······
