I Was Once a Legend

Cui Zuojing didn't look back, the person who came walked up to him at a steady pace, put one hand on the ground, and sat down cross-legged like him.

Neither of them spoke for a while, Cui Zuojing took out a new can of beer from the box and threw it to Dong Zheng.

Dong Zheng took it, glanced at the three empty cans lying on the ground, opened the tab with one hand, and took a sip.

The taste of beer is not very good, it is ordinary, with the smell of fermented wheat, but for Dong Zheng, the last time he tasted alcohol was when he was still alive.

The lines on the moon are getting bigger and bigger, and have reached the point where they are clearly visible, and it seems that they will crack open in the next second.Dong Zheng was silent for a while, and explained: "I just tried to disconnect the contact according to the prisoner control method mentioned on the forum."

Cui Zuojing said not at all sincerely: "Then congratulations, you have succeeded. I can no longer perceive the situation on your side. Even in the prisoner's space, I can't pass through the prison like I did when I was in Hameln." Your eyes and ears receive information from the outside world."

Dong Zheng nodded, put down the beer, and drew a slightly complicated pattern on the coat of arms on the back of his left hand with his right hand. The next moment, Cui Zuojing regained his perception of Dong Zheng.

To be honest, Cui Zuojing was not used to this feeling of connection between the two, although it had been with him for several days.

Dong Zheng picked up the beer again: "I just tried it, nothing else."

Cui Zuojing stared at him for a few seconds, then turned back to look at the moon, and said indifferently, "Oh."

Cui Zuojing drank three cans of beer in one breath, his cheeks were flushed, and he moved his hands and feet casually, but the depths of his slightly drunk eyes were still cold.

There is a sense of gender-ambiguous beauty in a young man of his age. Dong Zheng couldn't help but think of the drop of water that fell from Cui Zuojing's eyelashes and turned into glass when he woke up in the corridor on the fifth floor of the hospital.

"The situation was urgent at that time, and many things were not clear in time. Now, should we have a good discussion on the matter that you ran around and made me mentally overwhelmed?"

When the words came out of his mouth, Dong Zheng realized belatedly that he seemed to be trying to cover up.

He didn't want to.

"God." Cui Zuojing took a deep breath helplessly, he thought this matter would be exposed in the hospital.

"Okay, I apologize to you again. I just became a prisoner not long ago, and I am still very unfamiliar with the use of power. Fighting can make me familiar with the current state as soon as possible, so I will face the executioner, hoping to restore my strength. As a result, Accidentally played too high. I promise, there will never be a next time."

Dong Zheng looked at Cui Zuojing's side face, looked away at the moment when the young man looked at him, and hummed, "My ability also has a lot of restrictions on your display of strength."

"Yeah, so if I want to get back to my peak state, I need you to become stronger quickly."

The two sat side by side, with a polite and safe distance between them, neither of them spoke anymore, drinking in silence.

Soon, Dong Zheng was attracted by the strange scene in the sky. He had never seen such a natural change...awe-inspiring and frightening.

The biggest gap on the moon has penetrated the entire moon at this time, twisting and turning, under the watchful eyes of Dong Zheng and Cui Zuojing, it shattered silently.

But Dong Zheng seemed to have really heard the sound, as if the porcelain fell to the ground, fragmented.

Pieces of small fragments fell from half of the giant moon, and the rest seemed to be imprisoned by some kind of gravity, keeping a close distance.Scarlet splashed, quickly occupying the dark blue night, as if... as if the moon really spilled a lot of blood as it shattered.

Dong Zheng couldn't restrain the horror in his heart, and took a low breath.The color of blood has already spread to the farthest point of sight, and everything is shrouded in the blood-colored night sky, only the broken full moon is still exuding a bright white light.

It's like the end is coming.

"Is this the bloody night?" he asked in a low voice.

"Yes." Cui Zuojing opened another bottle of beer, didn't drink it, just held it in his hand to feel the heavy weight, and said softly, "Cleaning up is about to start."

Or rather, massacre.

The two sat for a while, Cui Zuojing turned his head to look at Dong Zheng, and asked, "You seem to have something to say?"

Dong Zheng did not deny that this issue is very important at present, "You said that the pilgrimage trip is full of dangers. Since the pilgrims need to go all the way to the queen, it is impossible to simply passively resist and escape in the box. Now whether it is me or Linhai, Without the help of you and Victor, the life-saving ability is too weak, is there a way to improve the strength as soon as possible?"

Cui Zuojing hit the nail on the head: "What did you see on the forum again? The ability to awaken?"

Dong Zheng hummed, "You are so strong, is it because of your ability awakening?"

Cui Zuojing thought for a while: "Partly, there is no need to rush to improve your strength for the time being. People in the novice area are almost like this. Just wait until the next area. You and your brother can try to awaken. The ability that can be used, Victor and I will train you again, and the progress should be very fast."

Dong Zheng: "You and Victor were both pilgrims before, and your ability will not disappear after becoming a prisoner. Can I ask about your ability?"

There was nothing to hide. Cui Zuojing picked up the pull ring of the soda can on the ground, dug randomly on the ground, and directly dug out a piece of cement. After a few seconds, the pull ring turned into powder in his hands.

"My ability is called [Slayer], to put it simply, it can turn all objects into the sharpest weapons, but if it acts on something with a very fragile texture, it will be destroyed quickly, just like the one just now Griph."

Cui Zuojing patted the fly ash on his hands and continued: "Victor's ability is called [Purification], as the name suggests, it can remove negative effects. It stands to reason that this removal can target any effect, but the degree is directly related to his own strength. hook up."

Dong Zheng reacted almost immediately, "That's why you and Victor reacted that way when you heard Linhai say that Victor eliminated all the undead ghosts in the illusion? Linhai did not know Victor's ability, I saw related things in the illusion.”

"Yes." Talking to someone who is too astute is easy to worry about, but sometimes it also makes him feel uncomfortable that everything is seen through, at least Cui Zuojing feels this way now.

Dong Zheng nodded, and sighed sincerely: "Both are very capable, fighters and medical doctors, if you combine them, it will be easy to deal with anything."

"Actually, in the previous pilgrimage, there were five people in our team. To make it easier for you to understand, if we compare it to a game, they were assassins, fighters, commanders, mages, and dads. I am an assassin, and Victor is Daddy, there are other fighters." Cui Zuojing shrugged, "If you're lucky, you'll see other people in the team later."

"This world is much more terrifying than you imagined. No matter how strong a person is, the effect he can play is extremely weak. A good team is better than everything. From now on, you can pay more attention to other people and form your own team as soon as possible .”

Dong Zheng wanted to ask again, but the door to the roof behind him was pushed open again, and Linhai and Victor climbed up.Seeing Dong Zheng and Cui Zuojing sitting side by side under the moon, the boy let out a sigh, "It's really here, and they're still drinking secretly! Don't call me, it's too disrespectful."

Lin Hai sat down beside Dong Zheng, and took a can of beer unceremoniously.He stared at the shattered moon in the blood-colored sky without moving his eyes for a moment.The dark red light sprinkled on everyone's faces and Victor's pure white hair, giving everything an ominous meaning.

Dong Linhai sighed softly: "Is this the bloody night?"

The cheers of the people almost toppled the roof of the circus. The clown bowed and exited with the scare box in hand, and snapped his fingers in front of the lion amidst the roaring applause, causing the giant beast to roar.

He lifted the heavy curtain and went backstage.

The sound immediately weakened a lot, the backstage was empty, and on the top floor of the wine cabinet, colorful light spots in the glass bottles slowly moved.

But in the rainbow-like streamer, there is a touch of faint blue missing.

With each step so heavy that the floor vibrates, the Joker puts down the scare box, undoes his comically fat costume, and puts on a black suit.

The knotted muscles almost opened the buttons between the chest of the white shirt. He put on the hexagram-shaped cuff buttons, sat in front of the mirror, opened the makeup remover, and removed the ridiculous grin from the corner of his mouth to the ear.

Bright red paint once again adhered to his horribly scarred face, the corners of his lips drooped heavily, black teardrops were painted on the bottom of his eyes, deep purple, indigo stars and the moon appeared on the white surface.

The clown put down his pen, and his lips collapsed into a straight line, but the makeup on his face made him seem to be shedding tears of confession.

He stood up and took down the pair of knives hanging on the wall. The seemingly gorgeous patterns on the silver blades were deadly blood grooves, and the blades were curved like two crescent moons, tightly held by the tear-patterned clown.

He put on his tie, walked out of the circus booth in a corner where no one was paying attention, and walked towards the city under the bloody moonlight.

"Well, it's already started."

Cui Zuojing's voice gradually dissipated in the wind, and a bloody "cleaning" kicked off in the city below.

The head flew down in the light of the knife, and the corpse turned into a silvery spot of light, blending silently into the moonlight. The leather shoes crushed a drop of blood on the ground, imprinting the bright colors into the soil, leaving a monotonous shoe print.

The clown walked through the deserted streets with a knife in his hand, looking for his next target.

The wind blew the corners of the clothes, and the three of them sat on the roof, listening to the short howls that erupted from the corner from time to time in the silent night.

Victor whispered: "People who died from the night of blood cannot live in other forms like those who died in the box. For them, this is the end of life."

Cui Zuojing stood up and saw the flashing figure of the clown on the corner of the street and the mottled bloodstains on the pair of crescent scimitars.

"Perhaps it is different from what you imagined. People with insufficient points cannot be automatically cleared by the pure white land boundary. They are all killed. In different areas, the executioners of the blood night are also different, and the execution in this area Man, is an old friend of mine."

"However, this cleaning mechanism also gives people who lack points the last hope. As long as they avoid the executioner and survive this bloody night, even if they don't have enough points, they can continue to live until the next bloody night comes. .”
