In the Slom Empire, the sky above Wangyue City, the capital of the northern territory, is covered with thick clouds. It seems that a heavy rain is about to come, but there are no raindrops yet, and it is so boring that it is suffocating.
In the civilian area on the northwest side of the city, on the formerly noisy Alfalfa Street, there were only three or five old dogs lying in the pit under the shade of the trees, their tongues drooping and panting.
Suddenly, they pricked up their ears and looked towards the street corner.
Five men wearing coarse linen clothes with bare breasts appeared in a hurry and trotted over. As they passed by, they kicked up dust and splashed all over them.
The old dogs barked twice in a humane manner. Seeing them go away, they relaxed and lay down again, but they were too hot to even shake the dirt.
The five people ran deep into the street and stopped next to a duplex wooden house that had been corroded by rain and covered with black moss. After looking at each other, they divided into two groups. One group pushed towards the front door, and the other group went around to the back of the house to trap them.
The force surrounded the house.
At the same time, in the dark hall of the wooden house with only a wooden table and two benches, Andy opened his eyes suddenly.
Because a voice suddenly echoed in his mind: The Book of Life Shackles has been activated, please check it.
Following Andy's subconscious attention, a large black gold book that was mostly covered by branches and leaves appeared. The branches and leaves faded, and the exposed book opened automatically.
The seemingly heavy book had only three pages no matter how he turned it over.
The front page says: Andy.
Beyond that there is a vast expanse of blank space.
The second page reads: Catch of Destiny
There is a small print that adds: [All gifts from fate have been secretly marked with a price]
In the middle is a swirl pattern, with ten consecutive draws written below: Currently free.
In the lower right corner is a currency-like symbol, followed by a 0.
Destiny currency: 0. Used for catch lottery and obtained through fate simulation.
Write on the third page: Simulation of fate
Note: [Life is not a gradual process, but a choice that brings happiness to the soul at a certain moment]
In the middle is a light door composed of stars.
The lower right corner reads, Destiny Points: 10. Used for destiny simulation, please explore on your own for how to obtain it.
Andy clicked on the light door. When the door opened, new text appeared on the page:
Whether to perform fate simulation will cost 1 fate point.
Andy hit his confused brain with his hand, and thought to himself: The free ten-game note had already marked the price, and would it be more reliable to simulate a fate that requires spending destiny points? So he chose yes.
The door opened completely and faded away, and new words appeared on the page:
[Day 1: You wake up and find yourself in a strange environment. After adapting to the darkness, you notice a corpse lying on the wooden table in front of you. After the initial panic, you keep a distance to view it in order not to damage the scene. 】
[You notice that the corpse is lying on the table, with his face close to the table. From the side, you can see that his face seems to have been cut with a blunt blade from the corner of the mouth to the earlobe. The flesh and blood are turned out in the jagged places, as if all the blood has been drained, but the table top
But there wasn't much blood.
The old scissors used as the murder weapon were right next to it, but the hand that had grabbed it was struggling to bend and stick to the ear, making a pose similar to /╲(**)╱\\.]
[Just when you were thinking about calling the police or running away, the front door was kicked open and two strong men got in.]
[They say things you don’t understand and try to take you away.
You tried to resist, but your legs were broken. During the struggle, you found that the physical fitness of the strong men was frightening.】
[In addition, you find that the existence of the corpse is strange, like a mirror image left behind. The strong man cannot see it, and when he lifted the bench and hit your leg, the bench passed through the corpse. 】
[You were taken outside, and after seeing the completely unfamiliar sun, you were shocked to find that this place seemed to be a different world, and you traveled through it. 】
[You were taken to a brothel, and the leader was mumbling something, but you couldn’t understand it.]
【You were tortured to death.】
[You discovered the fact of time travel and obtained the achievement: Alien. The upper limit of your strength and intelligence is 10. There is a world behind you.]
[Comprehensive evaluation: People in the world often use luck to cover up ignorance (grey)
Basic reward: Destiny currency＊1
Additional rewards: None]
Andy opened his eyes wide and read it again. When he saw the last line, he almost jumped up from where he was.
Not only did he travel through time, but he was tortured to death on the first day?
Unable to think about anything else, Andy looked ahead with wide eyes.
There was a real corpse lying on the wooden table, and its death condition was exactly as described in the book.
Isn't that a hallucination that he hasn't woken up from yet? Is it a real thing that is about to happen?
Panic surged from the bottom of his heart, and Andy subconsciously wanted to run out of the house.
When I started to leave, I thought that the strong man had broken in through the front door. I immediately turned around and ran to the back to see if there were any windows or a back door.
Being frightened like this was like having a handful of snow poured into my neck in the middle of winter, and I woke up completely confused.
After running only two steps, Andy thought again, is it necessarily safe behind him?
He couldn't help but slow down, and the starlight door of the Book of Life in his mind opened again.
[Day 1: You realize the hidden danger and try to find a way out from behind.
There is a door! You opened the door with joy, but you just happened to bump into an evil face approaching.】
【You were caught and taken to the street.】
[Because you are very cooperative, the five people are very lax in supervising you.
You seize the opportunity to shout and try to create a movement and attract help.
Only the old dogs enjoying the shade under the trees glanced at it.
You were beaten and taken to a brothel.]
【You were tortured to death.】
[Comprehensive evaluation: You died boring and ignorant (grey)
Basic reward: Destiny currency＊1
Additional rewards: None]
Andy's running steps stopped suddenly, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
There were also five strong men behind him, and he was surrounded.
As he walked around, Andy glanced across the room, and finally looked at the old scissors on the table.
Then he gave up the related idea.
Even if there are five ordinary people, he has no ability to fight back against a stinky programmer, let alone a strong man with extremely strong physical fitness.
Besides waiting to die, what else can he do?
The Book of Life's Shackles was opened again, and Andy looked at the Fateful Catching page, his eyes particularly scanning the small words of the remarks.
Regardless of the price, he needs a gift that breaks the situation.
Andy clicked on the swirl pattern.
【Would you like to perform ten draws in a row? It is currently free.】
In particular, there is a small exclamation mark behind the ten consecutive draws. If you look over it, it says:
The quality of the catch is divided into gray (inferior), white (ordinary), green (fine), blue (excellent), green (excellent), pink (perfect), purple (epic), orange (legendary), and dark gold (ancient)
, Red (Taikoo) Level 10, among which the probability of catching a gray fish is 'nine out of ten', while the red one is 'never one'. If you draw ten consecutive fishes, there will be a pink guarantee.
Andy curled his lips. As a programmer, he had written and smoked this stuff a lot in his previous life. He just wanted to say, don't use red, gold, and other fancy stuff. Just tell him what the guaranteed color is.
It made it look like he could draw it.
Before clicking, Andy took a deep breath and prayed from the bottom of his heart: "If you don't ask for red and purple, or blue sky and white clouds, I will accept all gray. Give me a gift that can solve the current troubles."
He faced the word 'yes' in the middle of the page and pressed it with consciousness.
Give it to me!
The originally static vortex suddenly became alive, slowly and then quickly began to rotate clockwise. In a very short period of time, it had swept through the entire book, like a miniature black hole.
Deep in the deep whirlpool, a light seemed to be flashing out.
