living in the world of reincarnation

Chapter 2 Scarlet Castle

While half asleep, Mu Lan felt that her body gradually became lighter, as if she was about to disappear.

In reality, her body was indeed like this. Under the surprised gazes of the three men, the girl on the ground disappeared in an instant, leaving only blood stains on the ground to prove that everything just happened really happened.

Mu Lan slowly opened her eyes, and found that the environment around her had changed. The sky was so gray that the sun or the moon could not be seen. The small alley turned into an open field full of vegetation.

"Where is this?" She murmured to herself suspiciously, and then touched her head belatedly. She was beaten by three people before, and her head was seriously injured, but now she was unscathed. Strangely, he checked his body and found that there was no trace of scars. He was full of energy and in a good state of mind. Everything that happened just now disappeared without a trace like a dream.

"Welcome to the world of reincarnation, C-level personal competition copy - Scarlet Castle." The familiar cold female voice appeared again. Mu Lan found that this voice appeared directly in her mind, and was not a real voice. In this voice At the same time as he appeared, there was a commotion all around. Mu Lan looked over and found that there were four people around. Their expressions were similar to hers, either panicked or surprised.

Mu Lan observes the surrounding environment. She is in a large wasteland overgrown with weeds. Judging from some gardening plants with various shapes, it should be an abandoned garden. Tall old castle.

The spiers on both sides of the castle are tall, facing the dark sky, and there are many small spiers outside, all of which are upwards, resembling the Gothic architecture of the European Middle Ages. The castle is very tall, and it can be nearly 30 meters by visual inspection. There are 5 layers of structure.

Looking into the distance, you can see the landform of low hills, and the castle is built on one of the highest highlands. Farmland and small houses can be vaguely seen in the distance, but there is no light.

I don't know the time or the place, the old castle stands there alone, the slender spire can only vaguely see the black silhouette, the whole environment is eerie and treacherous, the air is very humid, and some small raindrops are falling.

"Hello!" The gentle and clear voice interrupted Mu Lan's thinking. A young man wearing glasses and wearing a gray coat came over. He had short hair and looked young. He greeted Mu Lan with squinted eyes and a smile. .

Mu Lan didn't say anything. After experiencing the scene in the alley, she was very vigilant. The situation was unknown at this time. Even though the other party didn't seem to be malicious, she didn't reply. Instead, she took two steps back.

Seeing the guarded look of the girl in front of him, the young man scratched his head helplessly, "Don't be afraid, I have no malicious intentions, we all appeared here suddenly, I just want to know more about the situation."

In addition to Mu Lan and the young man, there were three other people. The first thing she noticed was the bald man in a vest. He was strong and muscular, about 1.9 meters tall, half a head taller than the young man in front of her. He He was looking at several other people including himself vigilantly, his brows were furrowed, his eyes were not friendly, and he looked like a character not to be trifled with.

The other man was wearing a hooded sweatshirt, with a pale complexion and stubble on his chin. He had put on a hat because it was raining. He was squatting and smoking. His whole person looked decadent, but his casual glances showed that he Also on guard.

The last man was also a male, with an ordinary face and nothing special, with his hair combed back. He was looking at the castle and wondering what he was thinking.

It's no wonder that this young man strikes up a conversation with Mu Lan. Among these people, only Mu Lan looks the most harmless.

"It seems that we have been involved in some mysterious incident." The young man thought about it and said, "I was still in front of my computer just now, and then I appeared here in an instant."

"Me too, I just went home and was getting ready to go to bed, and all of a sudden here I am!" said the big, strong man, his expression genuine and not fake, "This is so strange! Is it a ghost? Or is it a prank? ?”

"Where are you from?" the young man asked, "I live in Ancheng, and I'm a reporter for Chenhui Daily. From your accent, it doesn't seem like you're from the local area."

The strong man thought for a while, and decided to disclose his information to the young man: "I live in Rongcheng now, and I am a fitness instructor."

"Rongcheng?" The young man rolled his eyes, thought for a while and said, "In the southwestern part of China, the distance between you and me is more than 2000 kilometers, and it takes two and a half hours to fly, but now we appear here in an instant. What power can do such a thing?"

Ancheng, Rongcheng?Mu Lan was puzzled. She was studying in Beijing, which is the capital of China. The three people came from different cities in the north and south of the river, and the distance was very far. This force brought together people from different regions at the same time. What exactly did they want to do?
While a few people were talking, there was another movement on the grass, and a ball of light appeared. The sudden change made Mu Lan run away quickly, but the three people just watched with vigilance and did not react as much as she did.

"That's how you appeared just now!" As if explaining to Mu Lan, the young man said to her, "Everyone here should be like this when they come here. I am the fourth and you are the fifth."

The white light gradually weakened, and a woman was wrapped in it. When the white light disappeared completely, the woman opened her eyes, was stunned for a moment, and then exclaimed: "Where is this? Who are you!"

"Another one!" said the man with the back comb.

This woman is of average build, about 30 years old, wearing loose pajamas and pajamas, with her face facing the sky, as if she was about to turn off the lights and go to sleep. She folded her arms with her chest, not sure whether it was cold or afraid that someone would violate her.

"Hey! Where are you from?" the brawny man said, his rough voice obviously frightened the woman, fearing that he might have regarded him as the suspect's mastermind, so he ran away and stopped when he didn't catch up , looking at a few people trembling with horror.

The brawny man touched his bald head, a little embarrassed, "As for it!"

The young man was still analyzing, "Look at her appearance, she looks like she is just about to go to sleep. I came here at about 11 o'clock, how about you?"

"I was exercising just now, so I didn't look at my watch, but it's about this time," the strong man replied.

Mu Lan recalled her previous experience and joined the discussion: "The last time I checked the time was 10:32, and it was probably almost 11 o'clock before I got here."

The young man nodded and looked at the other two people. The man with the back shook his head to express his confusion, but the man in the hat ignored the young man, still squatting there silently smoking a cigarette. a few.

Seeing this scene, Mu Lan thought of the smoking man blocking the way in the alley just now. Although she was definitely not alone, she always felt that this man had a sense of danger, and his eyes that occasionally glanced at them were very sharp.

The young man didn't feel embarrassed, he continued: "We are in different places, but the time is the same. It seems that the person or force that led us here is not so powerful enough to control time and space, right? Two people again !"

At this time, two white lights appeared in the open space. After the white lights disappeared, two short figures, a man and a woman, appeared. Mu Lan noticed that these two people were wearing school uniforms and carrying schoolbags. They had childish faces and were obviously high school students.

"Ahhhhh!" the female student screamed and hid behind the male student. The male student mustered up his courage and said to several adults, "Who are you! Where is this?"

It seems that the two people know each other, which is strange, the previous people are all strangers far apart.

The young man gently introduced himself to the two students, showed that he was not malicious, and then asked where they were from.

The male student was dubious, still looking on guard, and hesitantly answered the young man: "I am from Pingcheng No. [-] Middle School. We will go to make up lessons after self-study next night. We were going home together just now, and then I was in a daze. And then, here it is!"

There was a muffled sound of thunder in the distance, and the rain became heavier. At this time, something similar to a game board appeared in front of her eyes, and Mu Lan's eyes widened.

【Scarlet Castle】

Copy Difficulty: C Grade

Number of people in the copy: seven

Main Quest: Survive for three days in Fort Sill
Mission reward: 500 evolution points

Rule reminder: The Chosen One will be killed immediately after leaving the castle within a radius of 500 meters
"The data is loading normally and the mission has officially begun. Chosen One, I wish you good luck!"

It was another surreal scene, and Mu Lan didn't even seem surprised, she stretched out her hand and grabbed it twice. Obviously, these words didn't exist in reality, they just appeared in her mind out of thin air like that cold female voice, directly Existing in the senses, after a while of silence, no newcomers appeared again, it seems that this task reminder should be triggered after everyone has arrived.

After a while of silence, someone finally spoke. It was a young man again. He pushed his glasses and said in a low voice, "Scarlet Castle. Survive for three days? This is interesting."

"What the hell!" The male student who appeared after shouted, with excitement in his words, "Reincarnation world! God's Chosen! Mission rewards! These are... what!" He pulled the female student next to him "Xiaoqi" Can you see it too! This is so cool!" Apparently these strange words aroused his interest, made the boy inexplicably excited, was inexplicably drawn into a different world, and left the boring and boring real life. Something I've always fantasized about.

"Cut, brat!" The brawny man was very disdainful, "If all this is true, you two children might not survive the first day."

"Okay, let's think about our situation!" The young man took out his mobile phone, "My mobile phone has no signal, where is yours?"

This sentence reminded everyone to check their belongings immediately.

Mu Lan's bag was gone, and she found out after coming here that she is now penniless and has no self-defense weapons. Being unarmed makes her fall into a passive state where she can't protect herself. She doesn't like this feeling. Although she doesn't like wielding knives and guns, she always brings a small dagger for self-defense because she lacks a sense of security.

"My mobile phone has no signal!" The woman in pajamas returned to the crowd at some point. She tried to make a few calls, but found that they couldn't get through. She shook her head helplessly, "There is no way to call the police!"

Several people with mobile phones found that there was no signal, and the anxiety in their hearts was amplified invisible.

"Guess there won't be a signal!" The young man shook his head, "We, the so-called chosen ones, were called here to play a game called Scarlet Castle with the organizer. If there is a signal on the mobile phone, wouldn't it be too simple? It allowed us to survive in the castle for three days. A dungeon with C-level difficulty may be even more difficult to come."

The young man analyzed again: "And the key to our survival should be this Fort Sill in front of us. How about it, do you want to go in and explore with me?"

"I still don't believe it!" The strong man retorted: "Things are abnormal and not scientific at all! I don't believe in these things, what kind of missions, what evolution points, are you kidding children? This castle looks very evil, I want to go to you guys, I'm leaving!" After saying that, he turned around and left.

Seeing that his proposal was rejected, the young man smiled sarcastically: "It's unscientific for us people from different places to appear here at the same time. The panel just now doesn't look like a technology that humans can master now. If this kind of power exists, you can't help but believe it." If you don’t believe me, the mission rules remind us that we are not allowed to leave the 500-meter range. If we exceed it, we will be wiped out. You can leave if you want. You can help me confirm the authenticity of the rules."

The strong man stopped after hearing this, he didn't really want to leave, but he was dissatisfied with the young man who had been analyzing and commanding a leader, and subconsciously refuted him, he snorted coldly and returned to his position just now.
