The scorching sun licked the ground, and the temperature in the air kept rising, just like the house price. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The hot air enters the lungs through the throat, and it feels as sour as swallowing a chili pepper. Li Xuan moved his lips, making a little sound from his tongue, which was almost glued to the roof of his mouth.

"Bottle of water, ice. ”

When the bottle of ice water almost lost its temperature and was about to be sent to his throat at the same temperature as the normal temperature, Li Xuan felt that his whole body had come to life.

After pouring most of the bottle, Li Xuan squinted his eyes and continued to look at the recruitment information in front of him.

It's an open-air recruiting venue, with modest tables and chairs and impatient managers, making it a gathering place for low-level candidates. There are no high-paying careers here, just a few part-time and lower-paying career options.

Of course, if you are willing to believe in recruitment information such as "10,000 yuan a month", no one will stop you.

The heat is like a string, tickling people's last bit of patience. Everyone's face was irritated, and the deeply furrowed brows were really not a good mood.

"Part-time flyer, students preferred!"

"Handicrafts are simple to process, and money is calculated by the piece!"

"What? No experience? We only need skilled workers on our side. ”

"Queue up, please don't crowd. ”

Chaos, heat, noise...

Everyone is crowded, like canned sardines, which gradually turn into grilled salted fish under the high temperature. Only around some female comrades, you can still smell a light or strong perfume smell, although it is inferior, but it can always make Li Xuan feel more comfortable.

From the beginning of the morning to the end of the afternoon, Li Xuan finished the day's application with sweat. As a result, there is nothing to say, inappropriate, unsuitable, can't do and so on.

Dragging his tired body, Li Xuan returned to the rental house.

When I opened the door, I was greeted by a musty smell, mixed with a slight smell of wall ash.

"Snap"

Turning on the light switch, the dim yellow bulb above his head flickered several times before it stabilized.

The whole room was visible in the dim light, the old wall ash clinging to the tiles, and the long-leaking corners were covered with gray and dull yellow mold, which looked as bad as alien plants.

The cement floor has already seen some expansion and cracking, and it is estimated that the cement mark at that time must be very low, and Li Xuan will say a few words like this every time.

There are only three types of furniture, a double bed, a wardrobe, and a computer desk.

After a brief dinner, Li Xuan began to browse the information on the recruitment website. He needs a job, especially if he doesn't have much savings and is about to nibble on instant noodles.

"Boom!"

A low thunderclap came from the sky, and the wind was blowing.

Li Xuan opened the watermelon-sized window and stared at the thunder and lightning flashing in the sky.

Fingertips subconsciously rubbed a ring on his hand, and Li Xuan's thoughts couldn't help but go back to his childhood.

When I was a child, my family was poor, and I basically didn't have any decent clothes. But when his father held the small wooden box and handed it to him with a serious face, Li Xuan was absolutely sure that the silk in the small wooden box was much better than the clothes on his body.

It was a ring, an ancestral heirloom. It wasn't gold, it wasn't silver, it wasn't jade agate, it was just a gray-looking, bone-like ring.

Whenever there is wind, rain, thunder and lightning, there will always be some abnormalities in this ring.

For the first few years, it was only a slight fever. In recent years, a faint gray fluorescence has emerged.

Li Xuan didn't know what was going on, but he tried a lot of ways such as blood and meditation to recognize the master, but unfortunately he didn't get anything.

But since seeing the lightning and thunder tonight, Li Xuan had an inexplicable whim in his heart, as if something was about to happen.

"Is there going to be an answer tonight?"

Li Xuan looked at the thunder and lightning that was gradually approaching, and such a thought flashed in his heart.

"No, why is this lightning getting closer and closer?"

Li Xuan looked at it and felt that something was wrong. The lightning seemed to be alive, and Li Xuan only had a few thoughts, and the strange lightning came to his eyes.

Time seemed to slow down suddenly, Li Xuanyuan opened his eyes, turned around and was about to leave this dangerous place, but where should he hide?

"Where should I hide?" This thought was still swirling in Li Xuan's mind, and a flash of electric light appeared on the watermelon-sized window that made it impossible to look at directly.

The dim hut was instantly illuminated by the electric light, and Li Xuan's eyes were tingling.

The stinging pain came and went quickly.

After a while, Li Xuan barely recovered his vision while wiping the liquid flowing from his eyes.

"This... This is?"

His round eyes were fixed on a meter in front of him, where a bone-gray ring floated.

Without any support, it just floated quietly in mid-air.

The ring was surrounded by a circle of gray aura, which swelled like a heart, cracking a little bit of crumbs.

After waiting quietly for a long time, there was no change in the ring, but the gray aura surrounding it was a little stronger.

Li Xuan popped up with an idea for no reason, he needed to touch this ring that he had worn for many years.

Yes, there is no reason, but Li Xuan just knows that he has to do this.

Li Xuan did this, the moment his fingertips touched the ring, the entire space seemed to pause, and then the ring flickered slightly, and it appeared on Li Xuan's finger.

A tingling pain came, and a thin, hair-like needle suddenly appeared on the ring, piercing Li Xuan's finger.

Li Xuan instinctively wanted to take off the ring, but before he could move, the blood in his body surged, and quickly converged towards the ring.

It felt as if his soul was about to be sucked away, and Li Xuan didn't even have the strength to move his fingers, so he could only watch the ring frantically suck up his own blood.

As the blood continued to decrease, Li Xuan felt a burst of dizziness, and the fluid in his body disappeared faster and faster like a burst.

Li Xuan knew that he was going to die, and the loss of thirty percent of the human body's fluids would be in danger of his life.

He didn't know how much he had lost, but it was definitely more than thirty percent.

The eyeballs became dry and sunken, the skin was attached to the bones, and the muscles were like fish starved of water, and they dried up after a few spasms.

Weight is measured in seconds and disappears quickly. Li Xuan soon had a sense of lightness, as if he was about to return with the wind.

The skin shrunk, and the flesh was gone. Li Xuan was not dead yet, that gray aura had been constantly invading Li Xuan's body, gradually replacing the functions of flesh and internal organs, so that Li Xuan had not completely died.

When Li Xuan turned into a living "skeleton", the suction on the ring suddenly disappeared. A feeling of weightlessness appeared on Li Xuan, the surrounding gravity seemed to have been rewritten, and the tables, chairs, pots and bowls floated.

The gray light on the ring exploded to both sides, like a pair of scissors, tearing through the space.

Li Xuan, who was floating in mid-air, was instantly sucked into the swarthy passage and completely disappeared into this world.
