3. The Shroud of Gold

"I have already checked. Your parents... are unfortunate. Young man, you should express your condolences!"

When the TV was fixed on the faces of two people, and I saw two familiar but unfamiliar faces covered with blood, the last bit of luck in my heart burst like a bubble, and I was stunned. It seemed that I had lost all the energy in my body.

Out of strength, I collapsed on the ground. I don’t know when he had removed the restraints on my body.

He looked at me for a while, shook his head helplessly, and with a flick of his finger, a glass of wine flew and landed in front of me with a very clever force.

I didn't even care about what was in the wine glass, nor did I pay attention to his juggling skills. I grabbed the wine glass and drank all the liquid in it in one gulp.

The pungent feeling spread from my mouth to my throat and into my stomach. I almost immediately started roaring. The roar was incoherent and mixed with tears. Even I didn't know what the hell I was screaming.

I only know that I am very angry, very sad, and very helpless.

I only cried for a short while, and the anger in my heart gradually suppressed everything. I threw myself in front of the man, grabbed his chest and yelled: "Tell me what's going on? Or I'll kill you!"

With a gentle push from him, I flew up involuntarily and hit the wall hard.

His strength was so great that I felt a bang on my back and my whole body seemed to be broken. Even at the beginning, I couldn't even feel my own body, let alone stand up and get mad.

The man seemed to be in a bad condition. He coughed hard for more than ten times before he managed to regain his breath and said with some dissatisfaction: "The person who killed your parents is also my enemy! If you want revenge, as soon as you come

You have found the wrong person. Secondly, even I will not be Loki's opponent. You are just an ordinary person, so forget all this and live a good life."

I yelled: "Loki? Do you think this is Nordic mythology? Is there Thor?"

He shook his head and said: "Maybe this Loki is not as powerful as the legendary Nordic god, but it is more terrifying... Oh! In addition, his strength is considered weak when compared to the legendary god.

Don’t compare it to that loser in the movie. If it’s the one in the movie… he’s much better than that pathetic loser god.”

"I want to kill that bastard, I want him to be broken into pieces and die without a burial place..."

"What a pity! Young man, you can't do it!"

I stood up with difficulty, stared at that person, my eyes were as ferocious as a wolf, my heart was full of anger and sadness that I could not vent, and I roared lowly: "I want to avenge my parents...I can do it! Or

Say, I have to do it, right?" Seeing my insistent look, the man shook his head, threw a wine bottle over, and shouted in a low voice: "Drink them all."

Without any hesitation, I raised the bottle and drank all the strong alcohol inside in one breath. I had just taken a sip of this stuff and knew how strong the alcohol was, but I didn’t care even if it was poison. I would dare to do anything now.

Qian, don't care about anything, just want to find something to vent, including killing!

"Okay! You can be regarded as saving me. Since you insist, I will tell you the ins and outs of this matter."

The man smiled slightly and took out another bottle of the same wine from somewhere. He flicked off the cork with his thumb and took a big sip. Then he said slowly: "There are many secrets in this world."

, only a few people know these secrets, most people don’t know! The vast majority of people in this world live in lies, and they live a peaceful and happy life...well! Or not happy, but at least they are happier than the rest of us."

"You may not know, oh... I said nonsense, you probably don't know. There is a parallel world intertwined with our main world, which we call the dark world! Although we have discovered the dark world for a long time, about thousands of years

However, governments of various countries only began to officially develop the dark world in 1953, and this kind of government-level development has been going on for more than sixty years."

Seeing that I was listening attentively, the man couldn't help but smile and continued: "The development trajectory of civilization in the dark world is completely different from that of the mechanical and electronic civilization on earth. It is a completely different model, full of all kinds of strange and powerful things.

life and all kinds of incredible existences, as well as indescribable wealth and power."

"There is even a saying that most of the myths and religious legends in our world are actually descriptions of that world by people who entered the dark world in ancient times, or came into contact with the creatures in the dark world. Therefore, we put the civilization development model of the dark world into

Call it the civilization of ghosts and gods. Loki and I are both people who have entered the dark world and acquired inhuman abilities in that world."

"I'm going into the dark world!"

I interrupted him for the first time, and he said it decisively without any hesitation.

The man shrugged his shoulders slightly, looked at me for a while, and then suddenly smiled and said: "Okay! As a reward for saving your life, I can help you enter the dark world. But I want to remind you that from the beginning

Since 1953, governments of various countries, some super corporations and underground forces have sent about three million people into the dark world, but currently there are less than 100,000 people active in the dark world. Among these 100,000 people

It also includes old guys who entered the dark world for various reasons before large-scale development. Excluding those smart people who voluntarily quit, accidental deaths accounted for almost 80%, which means at least 245%

Thousands of people died inside."

"I'm not afraid of death! I want to kill Loki!"

The man chuckled again and said casually: "In the dark world, there are at least more than 10,000 people who want to kill him. Including me, I also want to kill this nasty guy, but no one has ever

I have done it before, but this time he almost killed me. If you want to kill him, just work hard to improve your strength, I will give you a small gift, maybe it will save your life at some point!"

He handed me a piece of cloth that looked very much like gold foil. It was thirty centimeters long and no more than a palm wide. It was as thin as the best tissue paper. It was very soft and elastic and felt smoother than the smoothest silk.

To make it feel comfortable, you can stretch it very long with just a little pull.

I took this thing and played with it for a while, but I didn't understand what it was used for.

Seeing the inquiry in my eyes, the man raised his brows easily and said with a cynical smile: "I don't know what this thing is, but I had a fierce fight with Loki because of it. This

The thing comes from an ancient tomb in the dark world, or you can unlock its secrets by the way when you have the chance to explore there in the future. Oh! Loki called it the Golden Shroud, which is such an ugly name, so I hate it!
