Self-denial System [Rebirth]

Total darkness.

That's what it feels like after a person dies.

[Hello, dear user, I regret to inform you that due to your improper operation, your points are negative, so you will be penalized.You are now officially declared dead on this world. 】

What?Is this the first time I heard that death still needs to be pronounced?

"Hey, is there any humanity! Can you let me go back to the dormitory!" Xu Mu hurriedly got up from the ground when he heard the voice.

[Hello, what else do you need. ] It was still the cold machine voice that answered him.

"I need too much, please let me go back to the dormitory first?"

However, this time there was no response for a long time.

After three or ten minutes, the mechanical sound rang again: [Hello, I am trying to connect the system for you, please wait a moment. 】

"Okay, okay, connect quickly!"

However, this time there was no sound for an entire hour.Just when Xu Mu thought that the voice just now might be an auditory hallucination caused by his brain failure, the machine voice suddenly sounded like a corpse: [Hello, we are trying to connect you to the system, please wait a moment. 】

...is the system dead?Haven't found it for so long?

Another hour passed with no response.

Oh shit!This machine needs to be repaired!The reaction is really slow!

Xu Mu had no choice but to lie back on the ground temporarily and think about life. When he was thinking about the state of reaching the pinnacle (the state of going to sleep), he suddenly heard a speech:

[What's the matter? It's early in the morning! 】

Although the voice was mechanical, the tone was not mechanical at all.

It was the first time Xu Mu saw such a down-to-earth machine, he was taken aback for a moment, and then asked, "Who are you?"

【Who am I?Speaking of connecting to the system, connecting to the system, of course I am connected to the system!retarded. 】

The voice is still as monotonous as a machine, but these words... no matter how they sound like a machine.

"You... have a sense of disobedience too seriously... Hey, why did you change someone? What about the one just now?" Xu Mu asked.

【just?That's a pre-recorded sound that I play while I'm sleeping. 】

What?

Do you think you were sleeping, and it took me almost three hours to wake you up?

Xu Mu was speechless for a while: Is there any place to complain about this thing?

[Tell me what you want me to do! 】

"What's the matter?" Xu Mu managed to suppress the anger in his heart, and said calmly, "I have to ask you! I'm obviously good at playing lol in the dormitory, why did the power cut off suddenly and make me go back to ancient times?"

【Oh, this is normal.Worlds exist in parallel, and it is common to accidentally break the boundaries between worlds. 】

"Then what about me now? What's the situation?"

【You are dead now.The soul can't last long outside the body, after a while you should be out of your wits. 】

"what?!"

However, the system didn't seem to care about his reaction at all, and directly interrupted him to make an introduction:

[Before you die, I think it is necessary to explain something to you. 】

[First of all, each soul is equipped with a system, but it is basically useless.Because this system usually won't say a word in this life, just like I originally planned.To be honest, I originally planned to sleep comfortably for the rest of my life, and I even set my dreams every day, who knows...]

"Don't digress, okay, brother." Xu Mu interrupted it's ready to chatter.

[Oh, sorry, where did I just say that.Oh yes, each soul is equipped with a system, which is only activated when the owner has no intention of transmigrating to another world, responsible for telling him what to do and what not to do, after all, he does not belong here, he just travels through the soul.At first I thought it would definitely not be my turn to activate it, who knew that I would really have someone like you...]

"Brother, can you not digress?"

【Oh, sorry.So I was a little unhappy at the time... It didn't matter if I slept for a while.who knows?Just for a while?You actually died? 】

"Wait for me? What do you mean I'll die if you sleep a little longer?" Xu Mu turned over and sat up from the ground, "Don't tell me that I ended up like this because of your neglect of duty and irresponsibility of!"

【Uh... almost... Anyway, that's what it means...】

"What do you mean almost! It's easy for you to say, do you know how miserable my death is!" Xu Mu trembled when he thought that his chest was pierced like a sieve by a dagger, "I don't care, you have to take responsibility for this! "

[How to be responsible? 】

"Let me go back to the bedroom."

[This is not good, you have already traveled to this world, even if you die, you will die here. 】

"What? What about the original me?" Xu Mu couldn't accept it for a while.

【Of course there are other souls taking over, so don't worry about it. 】

"..."

【Actually, it’s not that there is no remedy. How about I inform the headquarters and let you go back through the back door...】

"Okay, okay, let me go back soon..." Xu Mu felt hopeful again when he heard this.

[I mean let you go back to this world. 】

"what?"

[Why, don't you want to? 】

"..." Xu Mu felt that life was completely gloomy.

[Okay, if you don’t want to and you have no other choice, then you just wait to die. 】

fuck! ! !

Although his heart was burning with anger, Xu Mu still thought about it reluctantly in the anger, and gritted his teeth: "Okay."

It's better to be alive than to be dead.

【OK. 】

[Connecting to the headquarters. 】

[Headquarters is making arrangements, and you will be able to re-enter the world in about an hour, please be prepared. 】

Xu Mu didn't speak, and sat down silently in the dark.

【Do you have anything to ask? 】The system seemed a little disappointed by his reaction.

"Ask what?" Xu Mu was not at all interested.

[Ask about your identity in this world, what you have experienced before, what you should do after you go back...etc. 】The system's tone this time is very brisk.

"Okay, what is my identity? What have I been through before? What should I do when I go back?"

[You will know when you go back. 】The tone of the system is still brisk.

Xu Mu: "..."

I really believe your evil! /Smile/

※※※

When the hour came, there was a sudden change in the surroundings.The thick blackness slowly flowed, smudged like an ink painting, and then the darkness in front of him seemed to be washed away by a basin of water in an instant, and a burst of dazzling white light shot over.

Xu Mu subconsciously closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, everything was different.

What caught my eye was a roof that was so dilapidated that it could no longer be dilapidated. It could be described as "broken walls and ruins". There were huge gaps between the moldy and decayed wood, and the color of the sky outside could even be seen.

Xu Mu turned over and sat up on the bed, and the wooden board under him made a loud "squeak", which made him stand up quickly, turned around and looked for a long time to make sure the bed hadn't collapsed, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

Turned around and there was no one around, and suddenly remembered that there was another system.

"Brother? Did you sleep again?"

[Just woke up...you went back. 】The system sounded indistinctly, and Xu Mu could even imagine it rubbing its eyes and yawning.

[First of all, congratulations on regaining your chance of survival.But because your rebirth chance is an unfair treatment to other users, you need to pay a corresponding price as a condition for this rebirth chance. 】

"What? Why didn't you come early..." Xu Mu felt bad for a while.

However, the system didn't intend to talk to him at all, and continued:

[Your price needs to be equivalent to a life, so it will not be small.The price will be issued to you in the form of tasks, and you need to complete the tasks regularly and quantitatively to maintain your points.If the points are lower than zero again, you will die completely and receive punishment; if the points accumulate to a certain amount, you can get corresponding rewards, and the points can be exchanged for wishes. 】

"What is the mission?"

[Task: Get a certain amount of pain points every day.The base score is 100, and points will be deducted for incomplete completion; the points will remain unchanged if the amount is completed; and points will be awarded for over-fulfillment. 】

"Pain worth?"

[And the source of pain points cannot be yourself, you must extract pain points from others, which is also equivalent to compensation for other users. 】

[Extraction methods are divided into natural extraction and artificial extraction.Natural extraction is like shielding others from guns and swords; artificial extraction means that the pain has already happened to others, and you only need to put your right hand on the heart of others to transfer the pain to yourself. 】

"Damn it? Can I fucking die now!"

【Can. 】

"Then just let me die. By the way, can you die with me?"

【cannot. 】

"Okay, then I will die alone, I wish you never to be reborn, bye!"

【Please don't be impatient. Considering your experience, every time you accept the pain value, it will reduce your pain by 80% and ensure that you will not be life-threatening. 】

/hehe/

[And after accumulating points to a certain value, in addition to rewards, you can also satisfy your wishes. 】

/hehe/

[The previous records show that after reaching a very high level, some users got a chance to open the world boundary. 】

"Wait? Open the world boundary? It means..."

【It means that you can return to the original world. 】

"I rely on this!" Xu Mu thought to himself that since he could go back, suffering a little bit in this world would be training.

【Thank you for your support and understanding.Today's task is to obtain a person's pain value, and there will be rewards for overcompletion.I will remind you at the appropriate time, I wish you a happy day. 】

After Xu Mu listened to it, he immediately entered the state, thinking that he would be freed as soon as possible.

So I went around the small thatched hut, but there was no one there.

How can no one share the pain for others?So without saying a word, he pushed the door and walked out.

As soon as the door was pushed open, a gust of cold wind rushed in mixed with snowflakes as big as goose feathers, and immediately blew Xu Mu's "barely covering his body" clothes to "not covering his body".

Xu Mu hurriedly slammed the door trembling, thinking that no one would wear more clothes for him in such a cold winter!

So he leaned over under the bed and began to rummage wildly, only to find a large pile of women's clothes and a bronze mirror.

Xu Mu picked up the mirror and looked at it, quite satisfied.The original self was already good-looking, but in this world, besides being good, my appearance can be described as handsome.No wonder that pervert kept touching his face, he was definitely jealous! ! !

When Xu Mu was considering whether to put on some women's clothes to go out, suddenly his eyes lit up and he found a good thing.

It was a black robe made of luxurious material, with light gold patterns embroidered on it.

But these are not important, what is important is that this look is men's clothing!Finally something a man can wear!

Without saying a word, Xu Mu took off his tattered body and put on a black robe.

[Ding—special item found. 】

A crisp mechanical sound suddenly sounded in his head.

[Mysterious Soul Set - This set includes the Mysterious Soul Robe, Soul Calling Leaf, Soul Refining Orb and a book of Mysterious Soul Secret Art.At present, a trial is provided, and 200 points can be exchanged for lifetime use rights. 】

Xu Mu thought for a while, the props must be good things, so respect is worse than obedience!

"After being unlucky for so long, I finally got lucky..."

[It's not that you're lucky, this suit comes with the system, but it's just a way for you to redeem it with points...] After the recorded lines were played, the system immediately changed into an old man's tone.

Xu Mu: "..."

At this moment, the door was kicked open suddenly.Immediately afterwards, a woman covered in blood stumbled in and said out of breath, "Senior brother, something happened to them, please go and have a look..."

Although Xu Mu didn't know who she was, but when he thought that he was still shouldering the task of "sacrificing oneself for others" assigned to him by the system, he followed the woman out without saying a word.

Thinking that he was about to start walking the rivers and lakes and sacrifice himself to be a hero for others, Xu Mu actually felt a strange sense of excitement in his heart.

Fuck, I'm not out of my mind!

This tm is for real, for real!Isn't it a game?

※※※

It was getting dark, and it was snowing heavily.

In the mountains and forests, the cold air was overwhelming and the fog was thick. My ears were filled with the howling of the north wind, mixed with the strange calls of unknown birds and beasts. It was like the howling of a ghost, which was creepy.

The woman stopped by a rock, turned around and said with a serious expression: "Brother, this is it."

Xu Mu leaned over to look forward, was startled, and quickly covered his mouth with both hands to keep silent.

Xu Mu had never seen or heard anything in the clearing in the forest.

I saw seven women who seemed human but not human, all wearing blood-red long dresses, holding several red umbrellas, floating in the air, with black air billowing around them.The figure was empty, his complexion was paper-like, and hideous bloodstains were crawling all over his pale face.

"What is this?!" Xu Mu said in shock.

The woman turned around and leaned against the rock, took a breath and said, "It should be like the ghost a few days ago."

Xu Mu took a step forward, only to see several teenagers wielding their swords and fighting bloody battles among the evil spirits, the snow-white sword light flashed from time to time.

"This time it seems that someone is controlling it, and it's even more vicious. The junior brother and the others are seriously injured and can't last long, so it's up to the senior brother!" The woman looked at him expectantly after finishing speaking.

"what?!!"

Xu Muxin said that if you rely on me, they will only die faster!

Suddenly there were bursts of shrill laughter in the forest, sharp and seductive, like a pierced wind chime, echoing in the mountains.

The two hurriedly turned their heads to look, only to see a few female ghosts showing fierce vigor, with big mouths pointing at their fangs, and terrifying cracks all over their bodies, and scarlet radiates from the cracks, which can be smelled a few meters away. Strong and pungent smell.

The bloodstains drawn by their sharp claws were all over the bodies of several teenagers, just looking at them was shocking.

A young man couldn't hold on any longer, and was thrown flying by the female ghost with a wave of his sleeve, and fell to the ground hard, spitting out a mouthful of blood and passed out.

"Where's Ying'er? Didn't she tell her to invite her senior brother? Why hasn't anyone been seen yet!" Another teenager shouted anxiously while waving his sword to try to parry.

"Here it is!" The woman in front of him hurriedly responded, pulling Xu Mu up while talking, "Brother, hurry up and save people! They will die if you don't do anything!" Pushing him while talking.

Xu Mu hadn't recovered from the shock, his feet were unsteady, he staggered, and fell a few steps forward.

Looking up again, I found that I had reached the center of the melee.

The female ghosts seemed to be attracted by the newcomers, leaving the boys behind, and surrounded Xu Mu in the center, looking down at him with terrifying expressions, their blood-red tongues almost fell to his face.

Xu Mu raised his head and looked at them with wide eyes:

What should I do now?

Can't seem to do anything?

Shouldn't he first think of a better way to die for himself?
