Chapter 4 Pledge, Blood Transfusion, Flower Garden

Spooky and chilly?

Li Guanyu pouted funny, he could only see the words, even if this old man was a ghost, what did it have to do with him.

"Old Taoist: I said you would definitely come back, didn't you?"

Will I definitely be back? This man has no beginning or end in his speech.

Li Guanyu said in his heart, what kind of riddler is pretending to be for me, what else did you say before, I have forgotten everything, and you still sell it to me.

"You have an impatient look on your face, you don't know the old way in front of you, and the strange temperament of the other party makes you feel uncomfortable."

"The 'Corpse Man' psychic talent has been activated, and you notice that the old man's face is as sickly as that man, and his skinny right hand is also tied with a red rope and a wooden pendant."

"Out of caution, you hid the niche on your right hand."

The old Taoist priest saw your impatience, but he didn't say much, and walked to a straw mat surrounded by incense with a smile.

"Old Taoist: Hehe, 'pure white blood'..."

"Old Taoist: Stranger, you have come to the right place."

"Old Taoist: Lethe River is a worry-free pure land, and it is also a peaceful place for the soul."

"Old Taoist: Are you ready for the ceremony this time, if you are ready, sign and draw, complete the pledge, and then, let's start the ceremony."

"The weird old Taoist priest asked you if you signed the painting quality deed."

Two choices, agree, or refuse.

Ah, no, Li Guanyu was stunned in place, he didn't know the content of this contract, how to play this?

System, text brother, did you miss a plot?

No matter how Li Guanyu called, the text did not change.

It's numb, Li Guanyu is no longer able to complain, should it be said that it is worthy of an internal test, and the plot will be released if it is incomplete.

Agree and refuse, Li Guanyu actually has no choice, he can't go through the two roads in front of him, and if he doesn't fight for a breakthrough here, he will be locked in the novice village.

"You choose to sign the deed of pledge as he asks, and when you put pen to paper, you remember that your name is _____"

I see, Li Guanyu understands that it is finally time for him to establish a character.

This style of integrating character building into the game's story...... Li Guanyu felt a familiar sense of immediacy.

In the game, Li Guanyu naturally didn't use his real name, and after thinking about it, he typed in "Fish Watcher".

"Old Taoist: Very good, in black and white, the deed is complete, and next, we should carry out the ritual of blood."

So what the hell is the deed, you tell me, hey! The corners of Li Guanyu's mouth twitched, how could he feel like he had signed a deed of sale.

"Old Taoist: During the blood ritual, you may see something unclean, but don't worry, you just need to treat this as a nightmare and wake up soon.

"Old Taoist: Of course, after you wake up, you will become a new self."

"You lay down on that straw mat according to the instructions of the old Taoist priest, and the flickering candles around you disturbed your heart, but gradually, you couldn't control your sleepiness and fell asleep."

"In a trance, you heard a female voice."

The voice was nice but not aura, and the tone of the whisper seemed to be an inquiry:

"Will you be a hunter or a prey?"

"Your consciousness sank in the boundless darkness, as if there were countless souls fighting for your body, and you only regarded it as a nightmare, as the old Taoist priest said."

"Finally, you feel your body again."

"You woke up on the straw mat."

"Your bloodlines are beginning to stir, cursed earthly people, your appearance has changed."

Mutation? It can't be a negative effect or something, right? Li Guanyu frowned.

"Your physiognomy has changed, the 'Mortician Man' has become the 'Mortician Master', and the Psychic Talent has been added: the probability of discovering something special."

Eh, Li Guanyu blinked his eyes a little unexpectedly, thinking it was a negative effect, but it turned out that his feelings were to improve his ability.

It's just that the bloodline is restless, what does it mean that he has some special bloodline?

It's just not over yet, and the text continues to flash.

"You feel the power of the curse being suppressed, and you can keep your sanity to the maximum."

"It seems that the rumors you heard are not wrong, Lethe does have the means to cure the curse."

The curse is cured? No, just "suppression".

Li Guanyu thought, does this mean raising the upper limit of his demonization value? Unfortunately, the text doesn't show his magic value, which makes it impossible for him to confirm his guess.

"You look around, the hall is dark, the wind is gusting, the candle flame is weak, and the old Taoist priest is gone."

Li Guanyu got two options, search the hall and leave the front hall.

He chose to search, and sure enough, he paid off.

"You've searched this gloomy hall."

"Lucky stranger, you have picked up, a gourd containing blood spirits, and it contains blood spirits.10

"Please choose whether or not to absorb the blood."

"Blood, the earthly world is the place where the gods fall, the people of the world are destined to bear the blood of the gods, and the curse left by the son of the ancient god who died with hatred has contributed to the revival of more blood."

"Completing a kill will give you the blood left over from your opponent's death."

"If you die, the blood spirit that is out of your body will be absorbed by the nearest being, and killing the other person will restore your lost blood spirit."

Drops Blood Spirits when you die? Li Guanyu was a little surprised.

I've died twice, do I have to go to the Skin-Picker and the Black Fat Man to complete my revenge in order to get back the blood I fell?

What's the use of this blood, stamina? Li Guanyu thought cluelessly, and felt that this was not very similar to the physical value setting, as if it was more similar, a certain currency or... Experience points?

"You have absorbed HP*10 and currently have 17 HP."

"You continue to explore, but you find nothing more, so you walk out of the front hall and return to the courtyard."

"You see the lantern fall to the ground again, and there seems to be something hidden in the darkness ahead."

It turned, and the moonlight illuminated its two-size-tall body, its brown hair stained with blood and sticky under its tattered robes, its claws glowing with blood, and flesh between its fingers.

"You're staring at it with blood-red eyes, it's a humanoid tiger demon."

???

A row of black question marks flashed on Li Guanyu's head.

This is a good Taoist temple, how can there be monsters.

Also, isn't the Taoist priest in charge of catching demons, this monster has come to abuse the spring, and you don't care?

It's just that there is no Taoist priest to save him.

"The tiger demon pounced on you, but you didn't dodge its attack, and you were slapped to death by a few slaps."

"You're dead."

Gan!

Again!

Li Guanyuren is numb, this game doesn't give him a chance to live well, isn't it, why do you always play this kind of open door killing.

After his death, Li Guanyu thought that he would wake up on the mountain road again like the previous two times, but this time the text changed.

"After death, your consciousness once again plunged into a sea of drowsy darkness, and time seemed to have passed for a long time, and it seemed that there was only a moment."

"You're awake, and you're lying on the cold ground of the flower bed."
