Dark Shadow Shrine

"Dear Yard, remember when we drank beer and watched the fireworks display?"

"Yad... don't you like to peek at other people's baths?"

"Turn back and look at me..."

The memory fragments in my mind are constantly being stolen, and then replayed in my ears. The soft whisper of the demon is like the gentlest lover calling.

Whether it is the halfling Yade or the half-orc Baimao, they are all attacked by this kind of sweetness.

No other voices could be heard in their ears, their only belief was to believe what Raven said, and kept running wildly. The body is still moving mechanically, but the heart is dragged into the quagmire of happiness step by step.

Compared with the dissatisfaction received after stepping into this vast world, everything in the past has been branded as "good times".

I really want to turn back, I really want to stop.

Emotional on the one hand, rational on the other.

Unknowingly, both of them had tears in their eyes.

Compared with them, Raven's situation was even worse.

In the previous life, the illusion system was the most praised by players in the game.

The sharp flying system can actually extract the happiest memory fragments in the player's mind to attack. This creates the illusion that a real person thinks they are in another time and space or a virtual game after being hanged up.

However, after receiving too many protests, it was changed to a pure data check.

As a pioneer among players, Raven has experienced all of this.

Originally, Raven thought he could easily bear it.

He was wrong!

This is double the mental torture.

One belonged to the young man Lei Wen, and the other belonged to the dead ghost Lei Wen.

This is an absurd illusion. Raven felt the pain experienced by two souls at the same time like a schizophrenic.

When he was an orphan in Huaxia, he was ridiculed by his classmates more than once for not having parents. He asked the dean of the orphanage who raised him why his parents abandoned him countless times, and all he got was a helpless smile.

He is alone, he has no friends!

The only thing that accompanies him is the game.

Playing assassins is the kind of loneliness at the top of the mountain, which is a kind of showing off for children with healthy families.

For Raven, it was a thirst for recognition.

At this moment, the call that Lei Wen heard was from a middle-aged man and woman. It was the voice that remained deepest in his memory, the voice of his parents that he had always fantasized about.

"Xiaowen, come back, we're here to pick you up."

Raven's body twitched violently.

"Xiaowen, don't worry about playing games, come to Mom and Dad."

Raven's heart beat violently again.

At the same time, the pain experienced by another disabled soul is also being staged.

Half-elf - half-breed at best, bastard at worst!

Not accepted by elves, nor recognized by humans.

To every great race, half-elves are outsiders. Although the good looks of half-elves are embraced by most races, they are never truly recognized.

When elves negotiate with human forces, they like to ask half-elves to help them deal with it. In their hearts, they are all afraid that the half elves will betray their own interests.

One can imagine how Raven's childhood was.

Being bullied by human children is already commonplace. Due to his elven blood, he develops slower than children of the same age. Because elves usually take a hundred years to reach adulthood, and half-elves have different ages depending on whether the elf blood in their bodies is thin or not. It is more common to reach adulthood at the age of 20.

Human children are usually tall and big by the age of 14 or so.

The disadvantage of the dead ghost Raven is really not ordinary.

Being bullied, crying, running to Karin to complain.

Without any special skills, without a family background to show off, but with a face that is pretty enough to make all boys of the same age jealous, this attracts more bullying, and sometimes even feels that being alive is a pain.

If it weren't for Robert and Karin, the only thing left in his heart would be hatred for human beings.

So it was also his parents who called him.

The images of the two parents completely merged into one at this moment.

"Leiwen...Leiwen...Leiwen...don't go...turn around!"

The 100% realistic call of the demon spirit almost made Raven collapse.

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa .

At this moment, he even longed for some kind of pain in his body that could surpass the pain in his heart: No! No! No! All I want is approval! Not this hypocritical family affection! I want everyone to recognize me! Acknowledge that I am not dispensable in this world! I want you all to look up to me—

His screams were wailing, but more of a catharsis, as if he wanted to pour out every bit of strength in his body along with the shouting...

After an unknown amount of time, the surroundings calmed down.

The system prompts also kept ringing: "You have been stolen from the memory of the Midnight Demon. The other party casts the illusion of memory on you, and begins to make a will test. If the will check passes, you will not be affected by the illusion of the Midnight Demon."

"Strong Will Specialty: In an accident, you were besieged by midnight demons one after another. You persisted in your beliefs under extreme disadvantages, sharpened your will, and you used rock-like will to fight against infinite illusions. During this process, your will is like a strong pine that has experienced a storm, and from this moment on, you will get a 1-point judgment bonus for any will judgment."

"You have obtained the message of the gold-level specialty [Iron Will]."

"You have received a message from the legendary specialty [Super Will]."

Lei Wen was panting heavily, obviously exhausted and almost collapsed, but his mind was clear.

He even clearly remembered that Iron Will was a will check against shock and awe - such as the fear technique. And that [Super Will] is even sharper. Not only can it deal with shock, but it can even deal with dizziness. Of course, it is also very demanding. The prerequisites are 50 points of perception or 30 points of charisma.

Whether it is a strong body, superhuman nerve reflexes, or a strong will, these are all tempered by oneself, and can only be accumulated bit by bit, bit by bit, on weekdays. In the game, these three items belong to the characteristics that cannot be strengthened by adding points at all.

This is even more so when entering the world of Ultron, without any tricks.

In many cases, we can only resist, and after the resistance is over, there will be a smooth road.

Can't resist? Then die!

Wiping off the sweat and tears from his face, Lei Wen suddenly realized that the time was coming.

Coincidentally, Baimao and Yade, who had successfully chased and killed the midnight monster together, also woke up at this time.

"Remember what I said?"

"Hmm." The two replied at the same time.

Raven counted down loudly: "Three, two, one...jump!"

As long as there is a living thing, there will be fear. Facing the terrifying creatures that suddenly appeared in front of them, how many people can do it without hesitation?

It was a huge mouth of the abyss that was the size of a troika and exuded a strong bloody atmosphere.

Huge round mouthparts, more than a thousand bloody serrated teeth that are as sharp as knives, if you jump off, it will be ten thousand times worse than sending a sheep into a tiger's mouth.

You can almost imagine the pain you will suffer if you jump into this giant mouth.

Some hesitated, others did not hesitate.

Baimao jumped in, and what puzzled him was why Yade and Raven didn't jump.

Am I cheated?

This was the first thought of the simple and honest white hair after jumping off. But at this moment, a bag hit his paw, and he grabbed it almost subconsciously.

money? Why would Rex give me money? This was Bai Mao's last thought before losing consciousness.

The two who were still standing beside Jukou looked at each other.

"Why don't you dance?" Raven asked.

"Then why don't you dance?!" Yade's voice was full of sharpness and hatred, and the image of the little halfling suddenly seemed to grow taller: "You bastard! You actually tricked such a simple and kind white hair to die!"

Lei Wen suddenly sighed: "I want to say, I don't know if Bai Mao will die suddenly in the future, but you are the one who is going to die right now!"

"What?" Yade was puzzled.

"The reason why the shadow is a shadow is because its power is never exposed to the sun. The moment we rogues learn the secret of the power of the shadow, we must swear not to reveal any secrets of the shadow plane. The huge mouth just now is The shadow plane rejects and warns all creatures that do not belong to the shadow. It hopes that all creatures that successfully return to Ultron will remember the horror of the shadow plane, and there will be no second intrusion."

"Uh... what you said is true?" Yade hurriedly turned his head to look again.

The giant mouth has disappeared, as if everything just now was an illusion.

"This is not an illusion, the exit will only last for three seconds."

"Then why don't you go?"

"I have something to do."

"Then... I have something to do too!" The halfling insisted: "And, why did you tell me this secret now?"

Raven looked at Yade as if he was looking at a dead person: "Secrecy is only for the living. Also, do you really think that in the shadow plane, an assassin who regards shadow energy as his second life and an assassin who likes to live between sunlight and What about bards singing in warm weather?"

The halfling's body began to tremble violently, even his voice trembled: "You...you...are you telling the truth?"

"If you can pass the test of the shadow plane without dying, I can try to start befriending you." Raven finally sighed.

if……

is it possible?

The overwhelming black shadow instantly engulfed the two of them.

Various system prompts kept ringing in Lei Wen's mind, but after the vision in front of him recovered, Lei Wen was the only one left on the scene.

"Ah—smart halfling..."
