Chapter 55: Another World
"You're really fateful, if I had slowed down a little at that time, you would have seen Hades. ”
Looking at Zheng Hao, who woke up slowly, Yu Yan on the side, a smile appeared on his face.
"Where am I?" Zheng Hao asked cautiously looking at the unfamiliar room.
"This will be your room from now on. ”
"What do you mean...... Could it be that my last trial is going to be held here?" Zheng Hao said with palpitations.
Yu Yan shook her head slightly, and a hint of discoloration flashed on her face. He explained in a flat tone.
"Actually, the trials you passed before. It's to test your potential. Also, we need to evaluate you. See if you have the ability to live in the ghost abyss. But, what no one expected was that you were in the fourth round of trials. Unexpectedly, he killed four elite disciples in one go. Therefore, after the discussion of the ghost master group, it was decided to exempt you from the final trial and be admitted exceptionally. ”
Looking at Zheng Hao's face full of incomprehension, Yu Yan sighed lightly and continued: "As the saying goes, once you enter the ghost abyss, it is as deep as the sea, and from then on, life and death are boundless. This sentence is the true portrayal of the ghost abyss. After that, it's all up to you. ”
"Didn't I rely on myself before...... It's the same as it really is. Zheng Hao couldn't help but complain in his heart.
After reining himself, he continued to ask, "What did you throw me in this hellish place for?"
"So that you can become, like us, a killer on your own. ”
"It's better to say than to sing. Obviously, this is a 'youth training base' that does not meet the norms. Isn't it just to cultivate, to serve the sect, a tool man? Zheng Hao muttered in a voice that only he could hear.
"What did you say?"
"I didn't ...... What, I just want to ask, then what am I going to do next?" Zheng Hao smiled awkwardly and diverted the topic.
"It's okay, there's everything in the ghost abyss. If you want to learn martial arts, you can go to the 'Fan Pit' in the south to borrow cheats. If you want to fill your stomach, you can go to the 'Dining Kiosk' on the north side...... However, all services cost 'Tongbao'. ”
After that, Yu Yan took a small money bag from behind her and handed it over.
"This is the initial 'Tongbao' that is available for free. You put it away yourself. ”
Zheng Hao opened the money bag and took out a copper coin full of lines. He asked casually: "Then this 'Tongbao' is so important, so how can I get it?"
"First, you can go and complete the various tasks posted in the 'Empty Building'. ”
Then Yu Yan pointed again, leaning against the "broken water" by the wall, and continued: "Second, you can sell your belongings. ”
"Third, as long as it is in the ghost list, reach the top 20. Every month, you can get a different amount of 'Tongbao'. ”
"So how much do I rank now? ”
"There is no ranking. ”
“?!......”
"The ghost disciples who are new to the ghost abyss are not ranked. Only by passing, completing quests, or killing other ghosts. to improve your ranking. ”
"Kill the ghosts?"
Yu Yan looked at Zheng Hao, who was confused, and continued to explain calmly: "Yes, as long as it is not within the scope of the ghost abyss, kill the other party directly." In other places, cannibalism is allowed. ”
Zheng Hao bit his finger and couldn't help but ponder.
This hellish place is actually a miniature version of the "world". It's just that it's going to be more disorderly, more simple and violent.
Here, if you have money, you can have a better quality of life, and you can also improve your strength faster. And everyone, in fact, can only live for themselves. "Man-cannibalism" has also become a matter of course. So, absolutely no one will care about you, life or death.
Of course, in order to gain wealth. You can choose to get the job done with your feet on the ground. Through accumulation, we can improve our future little by little.
But in fact, in the end, you have a bulging purse and your life. It may just be a tool for others to improve their rankings.
If you think about it more closely, it's not hard to find out. In fact, in this virtual "society". All the people who are struggling to survive in life and death. And how sad, ridiculous.
Under this distorted system, the real profit will always be the "Hundred Ghost Palace", the force that holds the power of life and death.
Perhaps, you have made it out of here against all odds. Success becomes one of them.
But what you lose in the process is something you will never get back......
Looking at Zheng Hao, who was speechless, Yu Yan put down her cocked Erlang legs. He stood up sharply.
As soon as she reached the door, she paused, and then continued, "Oh yes, there's something important that I almost forgot to tell you. Every ghost disciple will be planted with a kind of 'corpse worm'. Therefore, in order to ensure that my life is worry-free, every seven days, I have to go to the empty building to get the antidote and take it. ”
Zheng Hao came back to his senses at this time, and asked like a dream: "What will happen if you don't take the antidote within the time?"
"That'...... The sleeping 'corpse worm' will wake up. Then, start nibbling from the internal organs. The host will endure unimaginable pain until death. ”
"Is there no way to lift it?" asked Zheng Hao with a solemn face.
"Yes Every March, there is a 'Final Trial'. And all the ghosts can participate spontaneously. In the end, the one who succeeds in winning will be cleared of the 'Corpse Worm' and become a ghost envoy to join the 'Hundred Ghost Palace'......"
Yu Yan opened the door, and a gust of wind and sand blew on her delicate face. But she seemed to have become accustomed to this, brushed the sand off her body gently, and left.
............
"Did you hear it?" Zheng Hao suddenly said to himself.
"Hmm......" Yuwen Yan's listless voice suddenly sounded.
"What did you do in the cave before?" Zheng Hao asked curiously.
"I only remember that I secretly attacked and killed Liu Zhen. After that, her soul was instantly absorbed by the Soul Eater Jade. And the injuries on our bodies healed immediately. I just wanted to help, the brother with the fishing net...... Suddenly, I felt a wave of anger burst through my brain. Then I lost consciousness. ”
After listening to Yu Wenyan's narration, Zheng Hao thought for a while and continued: "It seems that there is really something wrong with this 'self-healing system'. If you have the chance, you still have to ask, that 'fishnet brother'. Find out what really happened at that time. ”
Looking at the sluggish Yuwen Yan, Zheng Hao took out a piece of jerky. There is no one, and I roughly told what happened after I woke up.
"If we had known that this would happen, we should have gone back and 'touched the corpses' one by one. Then we won't only have these ten 'Tongbao' now." Zheng Hao looked at the money bag in his hand and said with annoyance.
"How could it be our turn, we must have been taken by others a long time ago. ”
Hearing Yu Wenyan's words, Zheng Hao did not refute it. He stood up on his own, walked to the wall, and checked his gear.
Don't say it, Yu Yan, a beautiful girl, is still full of authenticity.
Bows and arrows, daggers, and Sui knives were neatly arranged in front of the two.
Zheng Hao turned his head to look at the thin door. A little helplessly said: "It's better to take it all, this room doesn't even have a lock, no matter how you look at it, it's easy to be remembered by thieves." ”
After taking all the belongings with you. Zheng Hao dragged Yu Wenyan, who was not in good shape, out of the door......
