In a dimly lit small room.

Ling Xun woke up from the cold hard cot, he smelled the smell of rice from the living room, and was awakened by hunger.

Looking out the window, the sky was slightly dark, and the light of the [Tower of Yao] in the city had not yet lit up, and it was not yet six o'clock.

"My sister came back on time! Dinner at six o'clock on time every day......" Ling Xun muttered to himself, fragments of memories about his sister popping up in his mind.

Ling Qiong, this is her sister's name, three years older than Ling Xun.

In my memory, the Ling family originally lived in the outer city of Fengyao City, and although the life of a family of four was tight, it was simple and happy.

It wasn't until Ling Xun was 13 years old that a small [Eclipse Mist] invasion broke out in the outer city near the outskirts of the city, and the Ling family, who was outing there, was swept in.

As a result of that incident, the Ling family's parents died, and her sister Ling Qiong was left with multiple [Eclipse Mist] erosion wounds, which were identified as mild [Eclipse Mist] disabilities, while Ling Xun was only slightly injured.

After that, the sister and brother moved from Fengyao City to the suburbs, relying on a little pension, plus her sister Ling Qiong doing odd jobs everywhere, for Ling Xun to study at the Fourth Yao Neng College in the suburbs.

"If it weren't for this imminent black wave, I would have successfully graduated from Yao Neng Academy, found a stable job, and shared the burden of the family for my sister......

Ling Xun smiled bitterly, if Ling Qiong knew that her younger brother was already another soul in his body, he didn't know how he would feel.

Of course, the secret of being a traverser must not be divulged.

Just as I was thinking about it, my sister's voice came from the living room: "Have you woken up, got up to eat." ”

Ling Xun agreed, turned over and got out of bed, and just turned the doorknob, he suddenly remembered something.

Turned around and opened the wardrobe, took out a neat set of clothes from it and changed them, smoothed the creases on the clothes, and then opened the door and walked out.

In the living room, when Ling Xun came back in the afternoon, there was a noticeable change, under the dim light, the floor and walls were spotless, and Ling Xun estimated that he had cleaned it at least twice.

If he had to prepare dinner, Ling Xun estimated that with his sister's habit, he would definitely have to clean it three times.

In front of the dining table, her sister Ling Qiong was wiping the table with a rag.

Looking at the woman wearing a wide apron, Ling Xun was a little stunned, when he first crossed over, the first time he saw Ling Qiong, he had an illusion that his sister shouldn't live in such a place.

Even though she was tired all year round, her skin was dry, and her face was pale, Ling Qiong had an innate coldness, the charm of a beauty in her bones, which made people lose their minds.

It's a pity that the [Eclipse Mist] invasion incident three years ago left indelible traces on Ling Qiong's body.

On her left arm and right cheek, there are dense, spider-like scars, so that her sister wears long sleeves all year round, and she will be covered when she goes out.

"What are you doing there? Come and eat. Sister Ling Qiong had already wiped the tabletop, put a dish and a soup on the table, wiped the dishes and chopsticks that served the rice again, looked up, and said.

Ling Xun scratched his head, sat down, picked up the rice bowl, and picked up some hard rice, as well as some overly salty soups and vegetables.

My sister really has no talent in cooking! It's better for me to do ......, Ling Xun muttered in his heart, but this can only be thought about.

In my memory, the original body, like my sister, was very bad at cooking, and if she suddenly showed that her cooking skills were improving, it was easy to arouse suspicion. Moreover, Ling Xun was not familiar with the dishes of this world.

"Do you go out behind me every day to 'pick up corpses'?" My sister asked suddenly.

Ling Xun was taking a sip of the soup, and almost squirted out when he heard the words, his eyes widened, and he looked at his sister blankly, and then nodded honestly: "Yes." ”

Seeing that my sister lowered her head and ate unhurriedly, her expression was the same as usual, without any expression, but her body language was signaling Ling Xun to continue to explain.

Ling Xun had a headache, every time he saw his sister's aura, he didn't know how to deal with it.

"I'm just trying to scrape together enough money for two city passes, and the [Kuroshio] will break out in a week at most." Ling Xun spoke in a low voice, trying to show that an immature teenager was beginning to mature.

The elder sister raised her head, looked at the young man deeply with clear eyes, sighed and said, "You have grown up and know that you can share the burden for this family, but you don't have to worry about entering the city, I will solve it." ”

The words slowed down, and she said softly: "Promise my sister not to 'pick up corpses' in the future, it will be very dangerous." Okay? ”

"Good. Sister, don't worry, I won't go again. Ling Xun nodded continuously, his eyes firmly assured.

In fact, Ling Xun was really not going to pick up the corpse, he had a new plan.

He wasn't lying.

"Hmm!"

The elder sister chuckled, cold and gentle, and reached out to rub Ling Xun's hair.

This move made Ling Xun very embarrassed, his real age was much older than Ling Qiong, but he had to show the docile appearance of a younger brother, and it was a bit hard to act.

The dinner of the sister and brother ended quickly, and Ling Xun knew that his sister would not let him clean up the dishes and chopsticks, so he was ready to go back to the room and carefully check the changes in his body.

However, as soon as he got up, his sister said in the back: "Go to the bathroom first, wash off the smell of oil smoke on your body, and soak up the clothes on your body." ”

Ling Xun's body stiffened and said, "This dress has just been changed." ”

"I can't change it just now, it smells, don't bring it into the room, soak there and I'll wash it." My sister said undoubtedly.

But if I come out in dirty clothes, you will let me change into a clean set to eat...... Ling Xun wanted to cover his forehead and moan, my sister is good at everything, it is this kind of cleanliness that makes people unbearable.

"Okay. Sister ......" Ling Xun reluctantly agreed.

Immediately, he walked into the bathroom, took off his clothes and soaked them, and bathed carefully again, and then walked into the room under his sister's satisfied eyes.

"Don't worry about the pass, my sister will have a way, trust me." The moment the door was closed, Ling Qiong's voice came.

If I were still the same young man, I might believe ......, Ling Xun sighed secretly and agreed vaguely.

——

Night falls.

In the center of the city, the light of the [Yao Tower] lit up at the right time, enveloping the entire city.

It's just that the area on the outskirts of the city can only be stained with a little light, covered with a layer of golden glow, just like a stepmother's child.

The small room was dim, and a little golden glow filtered through the window, and a young man could be faintly seen sitting on the bed.

Ling Xun looked out the window, his gaze wandered, he was actually staring at the cross light mark that appeared again in front of him.

"This cross light mark, you only need to concentrate on it, can it be revealed...... I thought it would be troublesome to appear again......" Ling Xun muttered secretly.

There was no time to observe this cross light mark during the day, but now, Ling Xun had time to carefully examine this strange thing.

Raising his hand and stretching forward, his palm passed through the "cross light trace" without any fluctuation, Ling Xun took out a small mirror and looked at it from all directions, and there was no trace of the "cross light trace" in the mirror.

Can only I see it? That's right, this is the reasonable way to exist, Ling Xun nodded with satisfaction.

This cross light mark, condensed by a strange light, is blurred except for the upper protrusion.

Ling Xun observed intently and found that the protruding part of the upper end of the "cross" was more like a "handle" - "cross handle".

On the "cross handle", there are two rows of circular indentations, as if there should have been two rows of pearls.

At this moment, only the top of the right side has a transparent bead, and there is a ray of golden light circulating in it.

"Is the formation of this transparent bead to absorb the breath of that [Eclipse Nightmare] after death?"

Ling Xun frowned slightly, and had such a guess, he was a senior netizen in Lanxing, a senior game nerd, and had a strong divergent thinking about things.

"So, the increase of the 'Cross Light Mark' requires more [Eclipse Nightmares]?"

"However, this is just speculation, whether this is the case, and it will take another [Eclipse] to kill to determine ......"

"But a monster like [Eclipse] really doesn't want to touch it a second time!"

Looking at the "cross light marks" suspended in front of him, Ling Xun's eyes flashed, and he judged so.

After observing for a while, Ling Xun's mind moved, and this "cross light trace" dissipated like smoke and dust.

"Next, try to see if I'm starting to condense into a [Yao Neng] ......"

Ling Xun took a deep breath, got up and walked to the window, and stretched out his palm towards the wisp of golden light shining from the [Yao Tower].
