The damp and stuffy alleys, the dark and dilapidated residential buildings, and the moss-covered steps go up, and a stale atmosphere spreads in the narrow corridors.

The dilapidated wooden door was creaked by the wind blowing into the corridor, and as the door opened and closed, a fishy and rotten smell overflowed little by little.

It's a dead dog. The dead dog fell on the edge of the kitchen, its head completely smashed, its internal organs leaking out of its stomach, and its bloody body rotting and stinking. Countless flies and maggots burrowed through the filthy fur and buzzed as their wings stirred.

The room was in shambles, with tables, chairs, and benches lying haphazardly on the floor, beer bottles and porcelain bowls strewn across the floor with broken glass ballast, and a chandelier on the ceiling pulled a thick rope from which a human corpse was suspended.

It's a woman. I saw that her hair was disheveled and disheveled, and her exposed pale skin was covered with messy scars. There was still a trace of the elasticity and residual warmth of a living person in her body, but the hungry flies could not wait to bite her flesh and burrow into her body.

"Want to live?"

There was a vague sound from the depths of the soul, as if he had regained a little consciousness, and Yun Lan's scattered vision gradually gathered, and in front of him was a hazy black.

“……？”

"Want to live?" The voice asked again. "I don't want to ......" Although she didn't figure out the situation, Yun Lan still replied in a weak voice.

The voice ......didn't seem to expect her to react like this, and after a moment of silence, it asked again, "Do you want Blackie to live?" ”

"Little ...... Little Black ...... Blackie?! Yun Lan's heart trembled violently, and a black figure gradually appeared in her pasty mind.

She looked up suddenly, and there was still nothing in front of her, and she couldn't figure out where the sound was coming from, let alone why it knew itself so well.

"Do you want Blackie to live?" The voice asked again, and seemed to find that this was Yun Lan's important handle, and its tone was slightly pleasant.

"......" Yun Lan didn't pay attention to it for the first time, the memory of Xiao Hei in her mind became clearer and clearer, the man's roar, the dog's barking, her crying...... The pain, which spread all over the body at that time, seemed to have been smashed in the head by the man with a bowl. The shattered bowl scratched her face and skin, and tiny pieces of crumbs fell to the ground and pierced into the soles of her feet......

She saw it, and Hei was protecting her. It dragged the man's thigh desperately, but the man kicked it away, and it desperately bit the man's arm, but the man broke his stomach with a knife...... A large cloud of crimson blood poured out of its stomach, and the liver and intestine flowed out, hanging on its suffocating body...... It died on the man's arm, and it bit the man's hand before it died......

She saw ...... She saw that the man could not open its mouth, so she smashed it on the head with a bowl until the skin was opened, the bones were shattered, and the teeth were broken...... He ripped off its mangled body and threw it to the ground......

And then, then towards yourself...... No...... No! Don't come here...... No! Little Black ...... Little Black ...... Woo...... It's mine...... My little black ......

Her eyes overflowed with large tears and her body trembled uncontrollably with sobbing...... It doesn't matter...... It doesn't matter what you do, little black...... Little Black ......

"I ...... I...... I want to ......," she whimpered, struggling to weave a complete sentence.

"The contract is made." The voice seemed to know she would answer like this. As the words fell, the rope around Yun Lan's neck loosened, and she fell, but not in the filthy and chaotic room. Only then did she realize that the pain in her body had not been felt since that voice sounded.

Most of the fog had cleared, and her vision was much clearer, and she looked around and saw that there was an endless white expanse around her. There is no end, no top, only a mist that you can't touch under you but does play a role as a floor.

She hadn't had time to think about what had happened, what it was. A circular circle centered on her emerged from the mist beneath her. Then a large vine slowly grew in the outermost circle of the circle, and the vines wrapped around one by one, forming an impermeable cage, gradually enveloping Yun Lan completely.

Yun Lan could feel the vines brushing against her skin and curling her hair, and the vines that she thought would be hard were unexpectedly soft. Then the vines split into countless thin strips, slowly probing into Yun Lan's nose and mouth, piercing into her skin little by little, and swimming into her veins.

The imaginary sting was not felt, and her body and eyes were enveloped in vines. She didn't know what the vines were up to, but it definitely wasn't harming her.

Finally, a warm current emanated from the vines deep into her body, and then she felt that her body was injected with new life and vitality. The vines slowly stretched out of her body, and she opened her eyes to check herself, the broken skin on her body was restored, the large and small injuries had been completely healed, and even Ben's nearsighted eyes had regained their clarity.

The five senses are slowly rising, and the retreating vines are gradually representing the world outside the space. Then, she saw a black figure, sitting quietly on the white mist not far away, and when she saw her figure appear, she barked excitedly and rushed towards her.

She hugged the black body in her arms, and the warmth emanated from it, and her vision was blurred with tears, and she could only see the tail that was wagging and eager to turn three hundred and sixty degrees.

"Blackie!"

"Name: Yun Lan, Birthday: 1998.2.15, Born: Earth, Heaven, Time of Death: 2021.7.11, Method of Death: Hanging Suicide." The voice remembered again, but it was Yun Lan's message, "Congratulations on signing the contract, please read out the 'Bounty Menu' to check the rules." ”

Although Yun Lan didn't know why, she still read out the words "bounty menu", and then, she noticed that a figure of a vine gradually appeared on her left arm, the figure glowed, and then a small holographic projection screen appeared above it.

？？？！ Yun Lan was shocked. She reached out and touched her arm, pinched it again, made sure the vine pattern was just something like a tattoo, and then reached out and waved it on the holographic screen, and her hand passed through it smoothly.

It's amazing, Yun Lan can't help but wonder if this is technology or occult art. Thinking back to the resurrection of herself and Xiao Hei before, and looking at the ethereal space around her, she was sure that this was definitely not something that technology could do.

"It would be nice if humans could have this level of technology......" she muttered.

There are four lines of options on the holographic screen, which are "Bounty Intro", "Bounty", "Personal Information", and "Life Countdown".

She thought for a moment, and first clicked on the "Life Countdown".
