When Tang You opened his eyes, he saw a huge golden magic circle hanging in the sky.
The surrounding voices came and went, mixed with the "squeaking" sound of water, which could not be clearly distinguished for a while, and it took about half a minute to hear a few words of dialogue.
"Look, it's really still alive, not a fake corpse!"
"Hey, it's pretty miserable to be tricked like this..."
"It's only 1 point, and I don't know how long I can live."
"I don't think it will be three days..."
Tang You only felt that he couldn't find the real feeling lightly. After lying down for a while, the senses slowly returned to their place. He found himself soaked, lying on the edge of the river, which was rushing towards the bank almost touching him. He stood up and looked at the group of people watching.
The crowd also looked at him, and one of the girls asked, "Are you okay?"
Tang You nodded. Seeing that they were dressed normally, he knew that it was still a modern society. Looking at the magic circle above again, he didn't know where it was.
At this time, someone in the crowd asked again: "Will you commit suicide again?"
Tang You said, "No."
"Ah..." Several people in the crowd sighed at the same time, turned their heads and left after listening to the look of regret.
Tang You looked at them silently, a little puzzled, and was about to stand up when he saw a young man rushing over. Looking disgusted, he just sat still.
The young man sized him up and snorted coldly: "How many times have I told you that he might be a liar, but you just don't listen, you deserve it!"
Tang You said, "Oh."
The young man saw that he was neither crying nor buried his head with his arms folded, and squinted his eyes: "What? This is still thinking about death, so it doesn't matter to anything? Then you die now, you see I can't save you?" save you."
"I won't seek death again..." Tang You said unexpectedly, remembering that before he was sucked into this world, his father looked into his dark red eyes, and couldn't help murmuring, "Even if I cut my stomach open, I have to live." go down."
As soon as the words fell, there was a soft "ding" sound next to his ear, and a faint light glowed from his body, which quickly dissipated within two seconds. He hurriedly checked, wondering if it was a hallucination just now, but soon realized that it probably wasn't, because the young man showed a slightly stunned expression, and the crowd who hadn't dispersed were in an uproar and ran back again.
"Damn it, it's actually increased by 6 points!" An old man in the crowd grabbed his shoulder and asked eagerly, "Boy, did you say something just now?"
Tang You blinked: "I said I wouldn't commit suicide."
The crowd asked, "Only this? Is there nothing else?"
Tang You was very puzzled. Seeing that they were all looking at him expectantly, he could only explain what his father had said to him. Everyone's eyes lit up, and they all stood still, looking up at the sky at a forty-five degree angle.
The girl's face was full of determination: "Even if my head is bleeding, I have to live!"
The uncle looked grim: "Even if flesh and blood are flying everywhere and all internal organs are damaged, I will fight tenaciously, work hard, and live forever!"
The young man clenched his fists and raised his head to the sky and shouted: "Even if there is a thunderstorm, a strong wind and rain, and I am trampled over and over again, it will not change my determination to live! I will be a thriving little tree. The saplings are screaming!"
Even the cold-faced young man yelled, "No matter what, I want to live!"
Tang You: "..."
By the way... what the hell is this doing
The crowd continued to howl in various postures and content, and it took a long time before they said "it doesn't work" in discouragement, and looked at Tang You enviously, "Hula" scattered, making the latter stunned for a while of. Tang You felt that it was necessary to collect information, and finally turned his attention to the boy who had not left, and stood up slowly: "I want to sleep."
The boy glanced at him: "Sleep, I didn't stop you."
Tang You thought for a few seconds, pretending to be pitiful: "I sprained my ankle."
The boy asked: "Then how did you stand up just now?"
"..." Tang You said, "I exerted so much force on one foot that the other foot sprained and it hurt."
"Should!" The boy left him and left. Seeing that the method of "begging to take him away" didn't work, Tang You thought to himself that he should just find a place to sleep, but saw the boy come back after walking a few steps, and pulled him roughly. With his arms on his shoulders, his expression was cold: "Tell you, I'll just take care of you this time."
Tang You was very happy, but didn't dare to show it, and whispered, "Thank you."
The boy didn't bother to talk to him, and carried him on to continue walking. Tang You closed his mouth wisely, stepped up to the embankment with his support, and looked around.
This is a forest, full of trees that he has never seen before, a small road leads to the front with a twist and turn, and at the end stands a wooden board the size of a blackboard. There are a lot of people in the woods, and you can see a few at a certain distance, all with their heads down, as if they are looking for something.
After stepping out of the woods, there is a small village, which is divided into three forks, and the middle one leads to a small square. From here, you can see many stalls, crowded with people, and it is very lively. The boy carried him to the road on the right, and finally reached a cabin, opened the door and threw him on one of the beds.
Tang You didn't find anything resembling pajamas on the small bed, so he took off the wet clothes and threw them on the ground, and took the towel next to him to wipe the water off his body.
The boy immediately became angry: "Why use mine?"
"..." Tang You looked at the light pink towel in his hand, then at the light blue one hanging next to him, and finally at the boy's proud face, and silently wrung out the towel and put it back in place , turned over to sleep, rolled into the bed.
Boy: "..."
The boy rushed over and kicked the bed hard, slammed the door and left.
Tang You exhaled, touched the position of the left collarbone, there was a number "7" on it, he contacted the reaction of those people just now, and knew that this should represent some kind of meaning, so he closed his eyes and began to accept this physical memory.
Perhaps it was the memory of his childhood that took a lot of energy out of him, and he quickly fell asleep.
In the dream is the world of supernatural beings, the stronger and more respected, the higher the status. Abilities are graded and can be improved through practice. There are many training grounds on the mainland, the most famous and oldest of which is here - the ancient dimension training ground.
There are many magical things in this place, such as ordinary people possessing supernatural powers through experience; supernatural beings with low talents become geniuses; Several god-level supernatural beings have all experienced in the ancient dimension.
All kinds of brilliant achievements make Gu Dimension's status far above other training grounds, but not everyone dares to come, because the success rate of this place is too low, and not one out of 10,000 people can succeed go out.
The outside world has made a lot of guesses about the environment inside, but guesses are guesses after all, and no one has any basis. Those who successfully got out are silent, making this place even more mysterious. But even so, there are countless people who enter the ancient dimension every year. Among them, those who flee for their lives, escape debts, commit crimes and unrevenge, and those who have no hope of life and want to fight back from the Jedi account for a part, and the rest are adventure lovers. And people who really want to come in and practice.
The original owner and the boy belonged to the latter.
Both of them are ordinary people, if they want to have supernatural powers, the only way is to come here.
In fact, the original owner didn't want to come, but his father especially hoped that there would be a supernatural person in the family, so he asked him to come in. After learning about this, the young man immediately asserted that his stepmother had come up with the idea in order to kill him so as not to take away part of the property, and those promises were just to deceive him.
The original owner panicked and wanted to resist, but his father had always been strong and was too obsessed with supernatural powers, so he came here after he was detained. The boy was inspired to become a supernatural power since he was a child. He decided to come in after he was awakened at the age of fifteen and did not find out the supernatural power, so he had no fear.
People made sufficient preparations and carried good things to enter the ancient dimension, and they were shocked by the result.
Because it is no longer a training ground, but a country. The difference is that this place has no laws, no government, and all official institutions do not exist. There are only laws, that is, the huge golden circle above the head.
The people inside don't like to call it the ancient dimension, but prefer to use another name—the kingdom of law.
People who enter here will be deprived of all abilities and become no different from ordinary people, and each person will have 50 initial points, which will randomly appear on a certain part of the body, and then the position can be adjusted according to personal preference, as long as it reaches a certain level. The score is considered to have passed the experience and successfully left, but if the score is reduced to zero, that person will die.
The Kingdom of Law has its own currency in circulation. In addition, scores can also be used as currency, which can be exchanged at the discretion of the individual. The original owner and the young man came here for the first time. Since they had no money, they rented a small wooden house together with their points. They planned to buy tools and materials to build a house when they earned money.
It has been half a year since they came here. The original owner is cowardly and often makes stupid mistakes. It is the teenagers who are helping to deal with the aftermath.
The original owner met a young man two and a half months ago. The young man was very gentle to him, and he fell in love with her. During the period, the young man warned him not to be deceived, but he still couldn't stop the original owner's feelings for him. Five days ago, a rich man from a certain big city came to their small village to search for a kind of herbal medicine. He offered a reward of 200 points, and the people immediately became excited and began to search in the woods non-stop.
The young man went to the original owner and said that he had seen it in someone's home, but the other party hadn't recognized it as a herbal medicine, and he planned to buy it, but the other party only wanted a share, not money, and his share was not enough. The original owner lent him his own as soon as he heard it, leaving only 1 point.
As can be imagined, the young man disappeared without a trace. The original owner knew that he had been cheated, so he committed suicide.
After waking up, Tang You touched the position of the collarbone, and seeing the new increase of "6" points today, he felt a little more at ease.
He got up and rummaged through the clean clothes, and saw a poster-sized piece of paper stuck to the wall, with a few blood-red words on the title: N ways to moles the law.
Below are a few lines of fine print—
One, poetry. The scores obtained are generally 5-10 points, and some can reach 20 points.
Two, tell jokes. The scores obtained are generally 1-8 points, and some can reach 20 points.
3. Make a statement (note: it is best to be shocking), it can be a sentence or a long paragraph, and the points you get...
…
There are still many items in the back, Tang You got the memory, and he can recite it backwards without reading it.
In the kingdom of rules, there are two ways to get points, one is to trade, and the other is to pass the rules.
For example, he said a word today, and the law seems to be quite happy to hear it, and gave him "6" points. Another example is that there is a certain chance of helping others, usually "2" points, so those people in the past really hoped that he could do it again. Jumping into the river once, they can go to catch him.
Of course, if you kill people and set fire to them, beat and scold others at will, points will be deducted from the law, and in serious cases, it will even be reduced to death. This is why there is no law here but order can still be maintained.
Tang You got dressed and was just about to go out when the boy came back with a newly bought magazine in his hand, which read "Summary of Score Obtained Records in May and Authoritative Forecast in June". The boy glanced at him, ignored him, and sat reading a magazine.
Tang You knew that after six months of getting along, the boy's patience with him was about to run out, so he didn't speak. He looked at the magic circle in the sky through the window, and suddenly remembered that someone predicted that he would get a treasure from the magic circle at the moment, Subconsciously say, "I want that."
The boy looked up.
Tang You withdrew his gaze. Although he didn't know the reason for the strong desire surging in his body, he repeated again: "I want the things in the magic circle."
The boy looked at him twice and asked, "How many points does it take to go out?"
Tang You said: "9998 points."
The boy asked, "What about you?"
Tang You said: "... 7 points."
The boy bowed his head again: "It's okay, anyone can have sweet dreams."
Tang You: "..."
The boy fell silent, looked at him again, and lifted the magazine: "Don't read it?"
"Look." Seeing him initiate a conversation, Tang You hurried over to sit down.
The boy happened to see the summary of poems in May, and the poem ranked first got 8 points, which read: Ah, Chunhua/I want to sleep with you/Ah, love/You were caught off guard/We sleepy sleepy sleepy sleepy sleepy sleepy / On the thorns, on the sulfuric acid, on the fire / Ah, we die and come back to life...
"..." Tang You thought that even though he already had the memory, he still couldn't understand the love and aesthetics of the law.
