"Is this where the Black Court is?"

"This is a branch of the Black Court in the Tianxiang Empire, and it also belongs to the first layer of hell. ”

"Hell? Can you start with a nice name? Xiao Lin pouted, these people's ability to choose names is really not very good, it is both dark and hell.

The ghost hand didn't care about these names, and said to himself: "You will spend the next year of your life here, of course, if you don't make it to the genius training camp, your black court career will also end here." ”

"Do you want to start training tomorrow?"

"First, it's not tomorrow, it's a little while. Second, it's not training, it's torture. It was rare for the ghost hand to show a smile on his face, but in Xiao Lin's eyes, no matter how he looked at it, it looked like he was gloating.

The ghost hand led Xiao Lin towards his room, the whole branch looked a little dim, the walls and the floor looked like they had been weathered, and some places had already turned yellow and black, looking like traces of dried blood.

"It's so dark that there's no light. Xiao Lin's eyes widened and he stared at the road, he had just almost tripped over the potholes on the ground.

"It's underground, and there's definitely no light. Ghost Hand said lightly.

"Underground?" Xiao Lin subconsciously looked up at the ceiling, "This is okay?"

"Of course, you think that hell is called for nothing, and all the strongholds of the Black Court are underneath, extending down layer by layer, and the deepest part is the core of the Black Court. The ghost hand said to Xiao Lin while leading the way.

"Then can I go down and have a look?" Xiao Lin was a little curious, and wanted to go down and have a look.

"You don't have this permission, you can only operate in the cannon fodder layer. Ghost Hand said lightly.

"Cannon fodder layer?" Xiao Lin was puzzled.

"As the name suggests, the first layer of hell is filled with recruits or members of little value, and if someone invades the dark court one day, these people will be the first wave to rush up and die. Ghost Hand said slowly.

"Is this okay?" Xiao Lin was shocked, "Then I shouldn't stay here." ”

"Why?"

"If I'm dead, won't the power of the door be gone?"

"Think too much, even if you die, the door will look for the next host, and the black court values people, not those external strange things, the sword killing master is neither the ability, nor the power of the door, but he can win the respect of everyone in the black court, that is because he is strong enough. ”

When Ghost Hand talked about Su He, there was a trace of respect on his indifferent face, and he admired Su He from the bottom of his heart.

"Okay, I see. Xiao Lin nodded to show that he understood, judging from the attitude of the black court, they didn't care about the power of that gate, which might be a good thing, at least Xiao Lin didn't want him to be treated as a rare animal and let people point fingers all day long.

"This is your room. The ghost hand turned a corner and stopped in front of an iron door.

Xiao Lin looked up, and the door was written "Twenty-Five" in red paint, which should be his house number.

Entering the room, the room is quite simple, there is a bed in the middle, next to the window inside, next to the bed is a small cabinet, and the first place to enter is a table and a chair, and nothing else.

"Pack up briefly, come to the main hall in a moment to report, this thing will show you how to go. Ghost Hand took out a compass from his bosom and placed it on the table, and walked away without looking back.

Xiao Lin put his luggage down casually, sat on the bed and was stunned, in just a few months, his life has undergone earth-shaking changes, and he has not reacted until now.

He looked up at the cold ceiling, with some yellowish spots on it, and a sparse cobwebs trembling in the corners.

"I came here in such a daze. Xiao Lin smiled self-deprecatingly, he had been running for his life all the way before, and now he felt how lonely he was when he was quiet, he didn't react excessively when facing the opponent who wanted to attack and kill him, but now he wanted to cry.

The empty room, the lonely person, Xiao Lin's fingertips jumped out of the black flame, the firelight reflected in his eyes, he became more and more proficient in the control of this strange flame, but it failed to bring any joy.

Obviously a child, but there is a loneliness that has been precipitated from ancient times, as if he has gone through vicissitudes, crossed the banks of the long river of time, everything is silent, the world is gone, and he is left alone in the world, floating and sinking with the tide.

"En?" Xiao Lin suddenly raised his head, and there was a figure standing outside the open door, it was a girl, who should be about the same age as him in appearance, wearing a pitch-black combat uniform, which should be the standard clothing in the black court, holding a short sword in his left hand, just looking at the scabbard could feel the fierce sword aura.

There was no expression on the girl's face, if Xiao Lin was like an old man who was alone in the years, she would be like an eternal piece of ice, exuding a cold frost without a trace of emotion.

A man and a woman stared at each other from a distance of a few steps, but it was like two time and space, the two stood on both sides of the long river, with the wind howling in the middle, the mountains and rivers shattering, the interweaving of blood and tears, and the screams and roars.

In the middle of the night, the girl turned her head and walked away on her own, leaving behind her a series of crisp footsteps, which constantly echoed in the corridor.

Xiao Lin retracted his gaze, shook his head and wanted to drive out some messy emotions, his time was very urgent, he couldn't control the future, he needed to become stronger quickly, he cleaned up the room with his hands and feet, took out the black court uniform in the cabinet and changed it on, and the whole person was wrapped in black.

He wore a compass on his left hand, on which was a map of the entire Black Court Branch, indicating the various locations and which were forbidden areas, which were not something he could set foot on at will now.

After cleaning up, Xiao Lin finally straightened his clothes and walked towards the main hall of the branch.

Although it is only a branch, the architectural structure of the black courtyard is very complicated, and various corridors and stairs are entangled, like a huge labyrinth, despite the guidance of the compass, Xiao Lin still circled around for a long time before coming to the main hall.

It is said that it is the main hall, but it is actually a huge martial arts arena, with all kinds of instruments and combat weapons placed on both sides, at this time there are already many people waiting in the center of the venue, at a glance, they are all children of the same age as Xiao Lin, and they are all chatting together in twos and threes, and they should all be fresh blood brought by the black court for training.

When Xiao Lin got closer, he found that the girl he had seen before was also among them, standing alone from a distance and not talking to anyone.

He didn't have the idea of talking to others, he stood alone and waited silently, and the girl in the distance looked up at Xiao Lin, and quickly moved her gaze to other places.

It didn't take long for two figures to walk in from the door of the main hall, also wearing black clothes, one of whom Xiao Lin knew, it was the ghost hand he had seen before.

"Everybody come and line up. The ghost hand commanded.

More than a dozen children quickly lined up, and next to Xiao Lin was the expressionless girl, and there was some faint incense around him, which made him frown.

"From today onwards, you will officially receive training in the Black Court, the ugly words are ahead, it is still too late to quit, once you start you will either die or retire, there is no third way to get out of here. ”

The ghost hand's eyes swept over each child's cheeks like a falcon, and after a moment, he saw that no one spoke, and nodded in satisfaction: "Very good, there are three more requirements that you must imprint deeply in your mind, as long as you are in the dark court for a day, you must not forget this rule." ”

"First, obey!Second, must obey!Third, absolutely obey! Violator, behead!" The ghost hand did not speak, but it pierced into every child's heart like a shiny long knife, making everyone's eardrums buzz.

Xiao Lin was shocked by the words of the ghost hand in a trance, the momentum of the ghost hand's whole person completely changed, he was still a cold and expressionless guy before, but now he broke out with a strong momentum, and there was even a piercing killing intent rising, which was the breath that only people with blood on their hands could cast.

"Now everyone listen to my commands, start training, remember, you can't rest until you finish it, you have to finish it even if you die!"

After a long time, Xiao Lin was lying on the bed in the room like a pool of water, he couldn't remember how he came back, although he had been tortured by Su He like a cruel man, but when he came to the black court, he knew that Su He was really too gentle.

In contrast, Xiao Lin finally appreciated the horror of the ghost hand, training like a devil, not telling a little affection, scolding if he doesn't do well, beating if he scolds if it doesn't work, and doesn't give any time to rest between the two trainings, trying his best to force out the limits of each of them and squeeze out all their potential.

What made Xiao Lin feel unbelievable was that the girl he had seen before was the first to complete all the training items in a muffled voice, and after the practice, he left lightly, shocking his eyeballs.

Xiao Lin endured the soreness all over his body and turned over on the bed, his consciousness was gradually wrapped in exhaustion, and in a daze, he thought that it was good to be so tired every day, at least he didn't have so much time to think about himself.

On the second day, Su He came, he came to teach Xiao Lin swordsmanship, which was an agreement with the ghost hand before, and Su He also brought a piece of news.

"What do you have to say quickly, why are you looking at me like this?" Xiao Lin was a little puzzled.

"Are you a fugitive?" Su He's eyes were quite sharp, staring at Xiao Lin without blinking.

"You got it. Xiao Lin was surprisingly calm, without the shock that Su He imagined.

"Where the hell did you come from?"

"You don't know it all. ”

"All information about you has been erased, and we have struggled to know that you are a fugitive, and nothing else. Su He looked at Xiao Lin, his eyes flickering.

"If I don't want to say it, are you going to kill me?" Xiao Lin asked lightly with a calm face.

"Forget it then?" Suhe suddenly laughed, "I'll do my best anyway, and if those old guys come to bother me again, I'll beat them." ”

Xiao Lin was dumbfounded, this style of painting has become too fast, Su He was still domineering before, how could he become a fool in the blink of an eye.

Su He waved his hand: "Don't care, although I really want to know where you come from, but you don't want to say that I won't force you, I brought another piece of news." With that, his face became serious again.

"What's the news?" Xiao Lin also felt the solemn momentum on Su He's body, and subconsciously sat upright.

"The envoys of the three empires are coming to visit, and they want to see you by name!"
