Looking at the starry sky, people occasionally ask, is death the end of life, or the beginning of another form?

There are no people who die, and no answer can be given.

People who have died, unable to provide answers.

―――――――――――

Shen Yi stood at the top of the building, and when he looked out from here, he could see a hazy complex of buildings.

In the very center of the complex, there is a tower, which is as high as the sky, piercing into the air like a sharp sword.

Farther away, Shen Yi could see the mountains and rivers in the distance, hidden under a faint mist.

It is a city located between mountains and rivers, and it is also a city that is chilling quiet.

There is no earthly hustle and bustle, not even a trace of human breath.

He woke up a minute earlier and found himself on the roof of a building with no entrance.

Beside him lay dozens of sleeping men and women.

This made Shen Yi very confused.

Is this hell? If so, it's too up-to-date, isn't it?

Check yourself out.

Everything he had in life, including the gun, was gone.

Seventeen bullet holes on his body disappeared at the same time.

It's like a dream, but I don't know if I'm in a dream or if I've just woken up......

"What is this place?" said a nice female voice behind her.

Shen Yi looked back, and it was a young girl with big eyes and long hair sitting up from the ground.

"Bloody City. A deep voice suddenly sounded.

Shen Yi and the girl looked at the source of the sound at the same time.

A middle-aged man was standing in a clearing not far away.

He had a fierce appearance, and a slanted scar at the corner of his eye almost ran through his face, as if his head had been split in half and then sewn back together.

"Who are you, and why am I suddenly here?" the girl asked aloud.

Scarface snorted, "You'll find out later, but until then, wait for the others to wake up, I don't want to do meaningless repetition." ”

The girl did not back down: "You'd better tell me where you came from now, tell me what kind of place this is, your behavior is suspected of kidnapping, I want to ......"

Shen Yi suddenly said, "You'd better listen to him." ”

The girl turned her head and glared at Shen Yi, her eyes were already big, and she was quite beautiful at this moment: "Who are you? Why should I listen to you?"

"Because three seconds ago, he wasn't in that place. Shen Yi looked at the scarface coldly and said, "There were only seventeen people here just now, and now there are eighteen...... In the blink of an eye. ”

Scarface looked at Shen Yi with a little surprise, it was rare for someone to be able to figure out the surrounding environment in such a short time after waking up.

"Are you kidding? how is this possible?" the girl clearly did not believe.

"Two minutes ago, I was a dead man, a dead man who couldn't die anymore. If the dead could get up and speak, nothing would be impossible. ”。

Shen Yi replied with a smile.

In the face of the gun, he can deal with it calmly, a person is not even afraid of death, is he still afraid of living?

The girl was completely stunned.

People who are sleeping are waking up one after another.

They looked around, completely unaware of what was going on and where they were.

It wasn't until the last man woke up that Scarface yelled, "Don't make any noise, just keep your mouth shut if you want to know where you're now." ”

"Who do you think you are?" A young man who had just woken up, tattooed all over his body and had big gold earrings on his ears, got up from the ground and shouted to the scarred man: "You'd better be honest with Lao Tzu, what kind of place is this? Did you kid get me here? Do you know who you provoked?"

The scar man grinned and let out a hehehe chuckle: "It's funny, why do people like you exist in every time the city gets them......?"

Before he could finish his sentence, a gun suddenly appeared in his hand.

Raising his hand was a shot, which hit the tattooed thug's left hand, and the thug let out a miserable cry of "whoop", holding his left hand trembling in pain, and blood flowed down his sleeve.

The scar man put the gun away and said coldly: "The only meaning is to use it to make an example and establish prestige!"

All the noise and scolding disappeared at the same time.

In the face of a real threat of death, all pride and dignity are vanity.

However, Shen Yi narrowed his eyes and looked at Scarface, he dared to swear that Scarface had absolutely no gun in his hand before.

His gun, like his man, appeared out of nowhere.

After glancing at the people around him, the scar man sneered and said, "I know you have a lot of questions, but unfortunately I don't have much time and energy to talk nonsense with you." As for what this place is and who I am, you might as well think about it first, there is a lot of information in your minds. ”

Shen Yi closed his eyes and thought about it, and found that he really had an extra memory in his mind.

It's called Bloody City.

It doesn't belong to any known corner of the planet, but it has far more power than ordinary people can imagine.

It's all there is on earth.

The most luxurious top cinema, the largest amusement park, the top entertainment club, the most prosperous shopping mall, the supermarket, where you can buy the most expensive sports cars, the largest diamonds, the best Swiss watches, and the most top food.

No matter what you want, as long as you ask the city and are willing to pay the price, the city can get it all for you.

All the pleasures you desire on Earth that you can't get, you can get here.

But that doesn't mean it's heaven.

To live here is to abide by the rules it has set.

The rules of the Bloody City are simple: once a month, the city will issue a quest, and those who live here can get Bloody Points as long as they complete these tasks.

Blood-points are the currency here, it's the key that people use to keep them alive, food, drink, and even housing, everything you want can and can only be bought with blood-pointed.

Of course, the most important thing is that the Bloodspot can be strengthened to make you stronger and then go on more dangerous missions.

It is a place made entirely of people walking on the brink of death, with the functions of a city and an adventurous nature.

There are not many memories left in his mind, there are vague and rough memories about what kind of existence the bloody city is, but just this memory, Shen Yi has already seen the wails of countless dead.

He saw many people walking in different worlds, desperately struggling, struggling, and fighting desperately in the face of the tasks issued by the Bloody City.

He saw a lot of people die, and each time, only a small percentage survived.

In a different world.

Then, the city will send some new people here to make up for the dead.

Usually as much as you die, it replenishes.

The bloody city has always remained at a scale of about 30,000 people.

And the dead have been a hundred times greater......

People struggle through the world of quests, and then die drunk in the world of the bloody city.

This is the Bloody City.

―――――――――

Waking up from his memory, Shen Yi saw a cold smile on Scar's face.

The memory in his mind told Shen Yi that he was a novice instructor in the Bloody City, and he was also one of the residents of the Bloody City. The Beginner Instructor is a job released in Bloody City, where veteran adventurers are responsible for answering questions from newbies, reminding newcomers of what to look out for during quests, and in doing so to earn some extra Bloody Points.

"Well, you already know where you are, don't you? I don't think I need to bother with this anymore. Scarface said.

"As long as you're standing here, you've got to say something to prove your existence. Shen Yi replied: "The bloody city asked you to come, it won't be to shoot at the novice, right?"

Scarface laughed.

"Actually, the most important thing I want to do here is not to guide you here, but to tell you the truth of it. If it's just a cloud of memories, I'm sure no one will take it seriously. But when there is a person who stands up and dedicates his life to everyone, the nature becomes different. ”

After a pause, Scarface continued, "But as you said, since I'm standing here, I have to say something and do something." So, I'll add something you need to know. Just before I say that, I would like to remind you of one thing, and that is that I don't like people interrupting me. If someone dares to interrupt me, I'll make him look good. Don't ask extra questions, I'm not interested in answering questions outside of my duties. My mission is to explain to you some unwritten rules and things to pay attention to, and then open the door to the task for you. ”

As he spoke, Scar Man pointed to his left wrist, where he wore a strange black watch.

Not only him, but everyone has such a watch on their hands.

"It's called the Blood Crest. Scarface said, "Bloody City uses to give us orders." I personally understand it as a collar, a loop around a dog's neck, and we have to go where it tells us to go. Disobedient...... Die!"

Scarface's serious tone sent chills through everyone's hearts.

"The Blood Emblem has many functions, and you need to discover for yourselves. What I can tell you is that for the bloody city, whether you like it or not, believe it or not, anyway, when you come here, you will never be able to go back. It is the most pragmatic way to give up all unrealistic illusions and face the task honestly, even if there are any concerns, it is best to let them all go. ”

"Finally, let me tell you one thing: since you are newcomers, every newcomer must go through a beginner mission before officially entering the Bloody City. Only those who have passed the Starter Quest are officially considered Bloody People, and the Starter Quest is the easiest of all quests and the most rewarding ......"

Someone shouted, "Will you die in the newbie mission?"

The scar man glanced at the speaker, then suddenly flew over and kicked the speaker's chin, turning the handle of the gun in his hand upside down, and slammed it into the man's head, causing his head to bleed.

Shen Yi could see this series of attacks clearly, his movements were fast and ruthless, swift and powerful, and he had completely exceeded the limit of the human body's reaction. This guy who claims to be a novice instructor is even better than the most brutal black market boxing champion on the planet with this hand alone.

Scar Man sneered back in place, his movements so swift that it was almost impossible for the naked eye to catch his movements.

Then his face turned straight: "I said, don't interrupt me!"

Everyone was shocked.

"So everyone understands what I'm saying now?"

"Understood. The crowd responded with a sparse response.

"So, to answer your question. Yes, if you're not careful, you'll die. Therefore, for the sake of your own life, it is best to brace yourself and face the risks you may face. Whoever doesn't take what I said seriously like he just did, then I promise that when he enters the mission, he will die an ugly death!"

As he spoke, the scar man pressed the blood crest on his wrist, and the blood crest made a soft sound, and a light gate suddenly appeared in front of everyone.

The appearance of this light gate stunned everyone.

If they had reason not to believe everything Scar Man said, then the appearance of the Light Gate completely subverted their cognition.

"Now you enter through this door, and it will take you to different worlds. You can choose to do the mission alone, or you can choose to do it in a team, and you can go in together as a team. Anyway, once you're inside, the Blood Emblem will give you instructions on the starter quest you're going to complete. Finally, I would like to warn you, although the world inside is composed of the plot world we are familiar with, but don't be superstitious about the plot, it's just a background, and danger is the essence!"

The scar man said and pressed the blood emblem on his wrist again: "The newbie guide mission is complete, and I request to return." ”

Another door of light appeared behind the scarred man.

Scar Man turned and walked towards the second light door.

"Please wait!" Shen Yi suddenly shouted.

The scar man Huo Ran turned around and glared at Shen Yi angrily: "I said don't ask extra questions!"

"I'm not asking anything, just making a request. Shen Yi replied quickly, he looked at the scar man and said, "I want your gun." ”

The scar man frowned slightly, he obviously didn't expect Shen Yi to dare to make such a request.

Didn't he see that he had just crippled one and sent one flying?

Looking at Shen Yi, the scar man suddenly let out a rude laugh, and he said, "Very good, there is a kind! Then you tell me why I want to give you a gun?"

"Because you don't care. Shen Yi quickly replied: "I played with guns." Shooting a gun seems quite simple on the surface, but in fact, a series of actions such as pulling out the gun, opening the safe, pulling the bolt, aiming at the enemy, and finally shooting actually have very strict action standards...... I'm sorry I didn't see any professional training from you. And judging from what you just shot, you can kill everyone here by yourself, even without using a gun. In this case, this gun is actually only used to scare people when you hold it in your hand. After all, the deterrent power of a gun is far greater than that of a fist. The last reason is that you don't care about the gun. A person who really loves guns will cherish the gun in his hand very much, and will never use it to do the kind of thing that just happened to smash people with guns, which is easy to damage the butt. So I'm sure to you this gun is nothing at all. In that case, I need to see if I can get this gun from you, even if it is a beating from you. ”

Scarface listened: "Beat up, aren't you afraid that I will kill you directly?"

Shen Yi immediately replied with a smile: "You are a rookie instructor, not a rookie executioner, I think there is still an essential difference between the two." I don't believe that rookie instructors can kill people at will, and if that's the case, you can kill them in the first place. ”

Scar's face looked at Shen Yi for a while, probably he didn't expect that behind his fierce appearance, he still let the other party see his scruples, he looked at Shen Yi with half-squinted eyes for a while: "Very good, boy, but even if I don't care about this gun anymore, it doesn't mean that I have to give it to you, anyway, it cost Lao Tzu 150 bloody points......"

"Five-fold return. Shen Yi directly interrupted Scarface's speech.

Scarface looked at Shen Yi with a wistful face: "What did you say?"

"Give me your gun, as long as I come out of it alive, I'll give you 750 blood points, didn't you say that the novice task is the most rewarding?" Shen Yi said with a serious look at Scarface.

"What if you die?"

"If I die, you're unlucky. A five-fold rate of return, a usury of usury, this risk is not to be borne at all? Marx said that 300 percent of the profits are enough to make the capitalists take risks. Shen Yi said with a smile.

Scarface looked at Shin Yi blankly for a while, and suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed: "Good, good, good boy." You're good, I'll have to add another sentence to you...... You kid has investment value. ”

As he spoke, he really threw the gun in his hand to Shen Yi: "I gave you the bullet, I take a good look at you, boy." ”

At the moment when the gun was in his hands, Shen Yi heard a ticking sound from the blood heraldry.

A few rows appeared on the surface: Get a Type 92 novice gun, blood points worth 150. Pistol has no kinetic energy bonus, and the rate of fire is 1 round/second. The effective distance is 50 meters. 1 non-grade normal bullet box, 100 ammo, 99 ammo, 7 base damage, and 1.5 blood points. (All gun stats have been readjusted here, and the Type 92 is only a model.) ）

Obtain items, the Blood Emblem storage function is enabled, and the Blood Emblem can store 1 cubic meter of items, which is limited to non-living entities. Current military rank: None.

With this series of prompts, the bloody emblem on Shen Yi's wrist unexpectedly appeared in a void space.

It turns out that Scarface's gun turned out to be like this.

The scarred face took out another thing and threw it to Shen Yi, but it was a small mirror.

Heraldic Tips: Heart Guard, a one-time item that can block a fatal blow and reduce damage by 50%, is limited to use below the initial difficulty, and the blood point is worth 50 points.

Scarface said, "The gadgets I got in the last mission didn't work for me, I was going to sell them, I'll give it to you now." ”

Shen Yi immediately said: "A total of 1,000 blood points, if I can come back alive, I will give it to you." ”

Scarface nodded, "Then sign an agreement." ”

It turns out that this bloody crest actually has an agreement function, as long as the two parties sign the agreement, when the conditions of the agreement are completed, all the content of the agreement will automatically take effect, and there is no need to worry about who will default on the debt.

After signing the agreement, Scarface turned around and was about to leave.

Someone behind him shouted, "Please wait a minute." ”

Scarface looked back and saw that it was a young man who looked like a student, and he was plucking up the courage to say to Scarface, "I want to borrow something, and I'm willing to give five times in return." ”

"You?" Scarface twisted into a grim smile, "I forgot to tell you that although the Novice Quest is the least difficult and most rewarding quest, it is also the quest with the highest mortality rate. The biggest key to this is that most newcomers lack a good psychological quality in the face of danger. So far, the mortality rate of newcomers is more than 80 percent. And even if you make it back alive, can you guarantee that you'll earn 1,000 Bloodpoints?By the way, one more thing: if any of you borrow money but don't have enough Bloodpoints to enforce the agreement, then congratulations, the city will determine that your blood points are negative, and even if you complete the mission, you will be wiped out by the city immediately. I don't care if you stay alive, but I care if my investment is recouped. So unfortunately, most of you here don't have investment value. ”

As he spoke, he turned around and walked towards the light gate, which emitted a huge wave of silver, and the scar man and the light gate disappeared at the same time.

It's like it never existed.

Everyone on the rooftop stared at each other blankly, you look at me, I look at you, I don't know what to say.

Only Shen Yi stared at the gun in his hand in a daze.

Obviously, Scar Man is optimistic about his ability to observe his surroundings and make cautious inferences in this situation. For veteran risk-takers, investing in newcomers is obviously not a good deal, but if there are newcomers with obvious potential, then it is worth a try.

And the so-called good potential does not necessarily mean intelligence, but first of all, this ability to calm down in the face of danger.

For Shen Yi, who came back from the dead, there was really no danger to frighten him.

It's a big deal to die again.

At this moment, Shen Yi suddenly felt a noise behind him, and someone was secretly approaching him.

He quickly turned and pointed his gun at the man behind him.

It was the beauty with long hair and big eyes, she was obviously taken aback by Shen Yi's actions, and hurriedly took a step back: "I have no malice, I just want to ......"

"Shut up. Shen Yi said coldly: "Although I don't know much about this place, I at least already know that the human life in this place doesn't seem to be valuable." Compared to the novice instructor just now, I may not have as much skill as him, but I am definitely more ruthless than him. I don't know you, so anything that seems threatening to me can cause me to overreact. Your actions just now are enough to give me too many reasons to let the bullet bloom in your face. ”

The beauty was silent.

"I'll do my task by myself, and no one will come in with me. ”

As he spoke, Shen Yi put away the gun, turned around and walked into the light door.
