When I traveled through time and became a player, I just wanted to commit suicide

The grand and profound bell sounded slowly.

Li Shanren was standing in a narrow and dark alley, wearing a smart black windbreaker, a tricorn hat on his head, and only a long knife on his waist.

In addition, the spirit horse sentinel, storage bag, soul-summoning bell, and even the various amulets on his body were nowhere to be found.

"Is this a dream again?"

Li Shanren took a look at his current outfit, then pinched his arm.

Well... there was a certain amount of pain, and it was a relatively realistic dream.

He touched his face again. There was a layer of beard on his chin and his face had become thin. It seemed that it was not his original appearance. He also seemed to be a little taller.

Just as he was about to continue examining his current condition, suddenly, a torch appeared from the edge outside the alley, and then a tall and thin figure holding a torch passed by the entrance of the alley.

The figure was wearing a tattered windbreaker and in his other hand he was holding a rusty hatchet with dark red blood and meat residue still on it.

Seeing this, Li Shanren immediately became alert.

He looked around and found that there were brick and stone walls on both sides and there was no place to hide, so he silently drew the long sword at his waist.

Judging from the slender shape of this long sword, it seems to be the weapon he wore for self-defense before entering the dream. I don't know why this is the only one he could bring in.

Soon, the tall and thin figure who seemed to be on patrol turned his head, revealing a face covered with gray hair. The face under the hair was full of wrinkles, with a protruding nose and pointed and upright ears.

Seeing someone standing in the alley, the figure opened his mouth slightly, and the yellow teeth in his mouth were extremely sharp.

The next second, he roared, staggered and rushed towards Li Shanren quickly, holding the hatchet in his hand high with a strange posture.

There is no communication, no exchange, and meeting means fighting.

【Tonight, the hunt begins. 】

The old man's mumbling in his sleep seems to still linger in my ears.

Li Shanren narrowed his eyes, waited for the right moment, and raised his long sword to block.

"Ping!"

The long knife blocked the hatchet steadily.

Then he slid around to the back of the figure and stabbed the man in the back with a knife. Then he lowered his body and knocked the man to the ground with his shoulder. Finally, he stabbed him a few more times, making the man completely lose his life.

At this moment, a string of blood-red mist suddenly flew up from the corpse, locked onto Li Shanren, and rushed into his body at lightning speed, leaving him no time to react.

"what?!"

Li Shanren subconsciously took a few steps back, but it was too late, as the blood mist had already entered his body.

He quickly checked himself up and down and found that there was nothing abnormal in his body, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

Although this is just a dream, as an extraordinary dream, when encountering such strange things, no one knows whether it will have an impact on reality, so it is better to be cautious.

After the blood mist, a few seconds later, suddenly a string of golden light spots slowly floated up and flew towards Li Shanren.

"Is this... Rune?" Li Shanren was a little stunned when he saw the familiar golden light.

He did not dodge, allowing them to merge into his body.

"Why would killing other living beings in a dream lead to the acquisition of rune?" Li Shanren pondered silently.

He thought about it, stretched out his hand, and tried to call up the personal interface.

The next moment, Li Shanren looked at the new interface that appeared in front of him and his expression changed slightly.

At this time, the personal interface has undergone a huge change. The originally luxurious and restrained dark gold background has turned into a deep and dark blood red. At the same time, his various attributes are also completely different from the original interface.

【Name】: Li Shanren

【School】: None

[Identity]: Outsider

[Vision]: 0

[Pale Blood]: None

[Blood Echo]: 128/100 (can trigger echo)

【Recall trigger times】: 0

......

All the original attributes disappeared and were changed into some very strange names.

"Blood Echo, Vision, Pale Blood..."

Li Shanren chewed on these words and felt that they were somewhat familiar, as if he had heard them somewhere before, but he really couldn't remember where.

"What does it mean to trigger the echo of blood?"

He looked at the prominent red text on the interface, which was still trembling noticeably, as if trying to attract his attention.

He stretched out his finger and lightly tapped the words "Can trigger Blood Echo".

In an instant, a sound like the surging tide echoed in his ears, washing over his consciousness madly.

It felt like a giant hand reached into his brain and stirred it mercilessly, turning everything into a mess.

"Uh...."

Li Shanren immediately squatted down with his head in his hands in pain.

Amid the sound of the tide, a voice like a whisper in a dream kept repeating a few words.

[Life, endurance, strength, skills, blood quality, secrets...]

Over and over again, as if urging someone to make a choice as soon as possible.

"Power...power..."

Li Shanren spoke with difficulty.

The next second, a boiling hot current surged in his body and violently merged into his limbs, as if tearing and reconstructing his flesh.

The heat flow lasted for a few seconds before dissipating.

At the same time, the sound of the tide really faded away like the tide, and tranquility and peace returned to Li Shanren's mind.

“Huh…Huh…”

Li Shanren gasped heavily, supported himself on the ground with his hands, and rested for a long time before slowly getting up.

He looked down at his palms and clenched them slightly.

I do feel that my power in the dream has increased a lot, but this method is also quite painful.

Come to think of it, I don’t know if it’s because of the difference in his body, but his physical fitness here is completely different from that in the outside world.

This was already evident from the way he moved when he killed the tall and thin figure just now.

If it were in the outside world, Li Shanren would not need to use any skills to kill the opponent. Pure strength and speed would be enough.

But just now, he needed to block the opponent's attack first, dodge and then kill the opponent.

"What exactly is this place?"

Li Shanren came back to his senses, looked at the towering Gothic spires around him, and looked at the distinctive windbreaker on his body, and this question couldn't help but emerge in his mind.

This city looks completely different from the cities in Messiah Continent.

An almost real dream, mysterious whispers, buildings and clothing of different styles, a blood-red and dark sky, and... a red moon hanging high in the sky.

Li Shanren looked up at the blood moon that seemed not to exist in this world, and a guess arose in his mind.

"The moon... the moon god?"

[The ice-blue moon hanging high in the sky, the Lord of the Blood Moon who controls killing, the Holy King of eternal mercy.]

Li Shanren recalled His honorable name but did not dare to say it out loud.

He was not a believer in the Moon God, and if he casually pronounced His name, something might happen, especially in such a strange place.

Being inexplicably dragged into this place, he naturally had many questions in his mind.

For example, why was he pulled in, what was the purpose of the dream, how to leave the dream safely, what would be the consequences of death in the dream, and...whether other people were pulled in.

The last question is what Li Shanren is most concerned about at the moment.

Thinking of this, his eyes darkened and he thought about what to do next.

At this moment, a weak female voice suddenly sounded intermittently in his heart.

"Where...are you? Your...soul isn't in...your body."

It's Letina!

She doesn’t seem to be pulled in and is still able to stay connected!

"Isn't the soul in the body?"

Li Shanren silently noted down this information.

Maybe that was one of the reasons why it was such a real sensory experience for him.

"I may have been dragged into a strange dream, and I don't know how to leave yet. Please help me look around to see if there are other people whose souls are not in their bodies like me."

Li Shanren replied to Letina.

".......good."

After a long time, Letina's weak voice came through.

While waiting for Letina's reply, Li Shanren squatted down again and examined the corpse in front of him.

The owner of the corpse had a very strange appearance, with features of both humans and wolf, but not as coordinated as the werewolves he had seen in the Messiah Continent and the border area. Instead, it felt like this person was originally a human, but was slowly transforming into a werewolf.

He was in a state of transformation, which made him look very awkward, as if two different things were forcibly grafted together.

"Hmm... quite curious..."

Mr. Li made such an evaluation.

However, he had seen many exotic creatures at the border, so he was not too worried.

At this time, Letina's reply came through.

Since she didn't know the names of everyone in the team, it took some time for Li Shanren to understand whose soul had also left the body.

The currently known people are: Altaïr, Ezio, Eivor, Tifa, and...Melissa.

"By the way, in the house opposite you, there is also... a person's soul... that is no longer in the body. There are two girls... taking care of his body. One of the girls has blue," Letina added intermittently.

"What about the villagers in the village?"

"They...are all perfectly normal..."

Li Shanren rubbed his forehead, feeling a little annoyed.

Based on the name reported by Letina, it is not difficult to classify a general feature -

Those who were pulled in were basically extraordinary people.

But there are three exceptions.

The village chief had previously told him that there were three extraordinary people staying in the house opposite him. They were most likely companions. If nothing unexpected happened, they were the two girls who were taking care of the other person's body, which meant that two extraordinary people were not pulled into this dream.

The last exception is...

"Melissa..."

Li Shanren frowned, and the little girl who was slightly older than Alice, with long brown hair and black eyes emerged in his mind.

Melissa is not a supernatural being, and she is even a child who has just turned ten years old. Why was she pulled into the dream?

This dream is so strange and dangerous. If the child dies in the dream, I wonder if it will be reflected in the real body.

The bodies in dreams are different from those in the outside world. Altaïr, Ezio and Tifa should be able to take care of themselves with their own combat skills. Although Eivor is not good at fighting, he should not die easily with his brains.

But Melissa, who was only ten years old, could only leave it to fate.

Li Shanren took a deep breath and immediately set a few goals in his mind.

First, we must find Melissa, who was also pulled into the dream, as soon as possible;

Secondly, investigate this dream world and find a way to leave;
