Abyss Player

Although there are some people in the abyss who act like perverts, who do nothing else once they enter the game world, and gossip about girls everywhere, but Shen Ke is different from them.

Seeing that Shen Ke didn't want to discuss Celia too much, Linus also wisely ended the topic.

Raising the wine glass in his hand, Linus said slowly: "To meet again, cheers!"

"cheers!"

After entering the malt wine, the strong malt aroma erupted in the mouth, and the rich and mellow grain flavor filled the taste buds, making Shen Ke unable to help but take a long breath.

Seeing Shen Ke who drank half of the malt wine in one go, Linus was not to be outdone, gulped down half of it, and then yelled for refreshment.

"What are your plans for coming back this time?"

After lighting a cigarette, Linus asked.

It's just that Shen Ke's eyes were staring at a certain direction in the tavern, as if he didn't hear Linus' words.

It was four young men, they were talking about something around the wine table.

Four weapons of different shapes were placed on the table.

But it was their arms that attracted Shen Ke's attention.

The right arms of these four young people are all different from normal people without exception. The exposed skin is unnaturally dark red, and one of them is gray-white like lime.

What he had seen and heard in the multi-plane arena suddenly appeared in Shen Ke's mind.

These... are ghost swordsmen?

Seeing that Shen Ke didn't answer his own question, Linus followed his gaze and understood his thoughts in an instant.

"never seen it?"

"A bunch of poor...people."

For some reason, Linus' tone became a little low, as if he had a special feeling for Ghost Swordsman.

Turning his head, Shen Ke looked at Linus' slightly absent-minded eyes, and couldn't help asking: "Linus, it seems that you know Ghost Swordsman very well? Can you tell me more about it? After all, I'm leaving I hadn't seen it when."

Listening to Shen Ke's words, Linus nodded and said, "Actually, ghost swordsmen appeared on the mainland before you entered Gran's Forest."

"It's just that at that time, the chance of ordinary people becoming ghost swordsmen is very small..."

"Ordinary people? Become?"

Shen Ke frowned, and found two reasonable and unreasonable words.

In Shen Ke's impression, ghost swordsman is just a profession, and the reason why their arms become different should be that they have learned certain skills unique to the profession.

However, what Linus said was "becoming"!

"That's right, become."

Linus took a puff of his cigarette, staring at the rising smoke a little absent-mindedly.

"Azu, these adventurers with red and white arms did not become like this voluntarily."

Linus raised his head, a strange light suddenly appeared in his eyes, and he said word by word: "Anyone...regardless of age...regardless of gender, may be corroded by...the power to destroy ghosts and gods!"

"Including me and you!"

With a sigh, Linus finally told his past slowly.

"Azu, I have been hiding this secret in my heart for 20 years, and I have never told anyone. I originally wanted to take it to my grave, but I don't know what happened. When I saw you, I fell in love with you." Thinking of my younger self..."

Probably because he drank too much malt wine tonight, Linus' voice was bitter and his face was filled with pain.

Shen Ke, who was sitting across from Linus, ordered another glass of malt wine for him. Shen Ke knew that it wasn't that Linus had special feelings for him, it was just... the trouble of the abyss.

The task stated very clearly, go to the tavern to have a drink with Linus after sunset, as long as Shen Ke does it, then whether Linus is willing or not, he must tell Shen Ke about the past.

Because... the will of the abyss cannot be resisted!

"I used to be the captain of the Royal Guards of the Los Empire. At that time, I became famous when I was young, and I was in power, so I was full of energy."

Now the unshaven Linus recalled his past, and suddenly there was an unruly light in his eyes called a young man in fresh clothes and angry horse.

"Maybe it's because my temper is not very good. I don't have many friends around me. There are only two people who can be called confidantes. One of them is called Forrest Gump, a wandering swordsman, and the other is Mike, who is my vice-captain. .”

"Originally, my life might continue like this. With the long sword in my hand, I can protect the peace of one side, and when I get old, I can drink and chat with my friends."

"It's just that a strange thing that none of us can think of broke my peaceful life..."

Having said that, Linus had a painful expression in his eyes. He stubbed out the cigarette, grabbed his hair with his hands, and his voice became a little hoarse.

"An unknown strange disease suddenly came. After contracting this disease, the arms of the infected person will turn dark red like rotten meat, like some kind of curse."

"There are no rules, no signs, maybe it's fine today, but it's cursed tomorrow."

"After being infected with the curse, some people claim to be able to see terrifying phantoms of ghosts and gods. Although it is terrifying, it is not fatal, while other people are not so lucky. They will fall into a certain state of mania... unconsciousness... full of Aggressive."

Speaking of this, Linus' eyes were bloodshot, he looked up at Shen Ke, and asked with a heavy breath, "Can you imagine? A man in his prime, after being infected with this curse, no more than Within three hours, he became disrespectful, just like suffering from madness..."

"My good friend and comrade-in-arms, Mike ... got infected, unfortunately he was in the latter category and we were having dinner at his house."

"He just grabbed his wife's neck without warning, opened his mouth and was about to bite down, and the color of his arm began to change at a speed visible to the naked eye..."
