About the years I played the role

"Identity authentication is successful, welcome to log in card system No. 023"

The mechanical sound sounded in the darkness, and the light screen emitted a faint brightness.

The boy stood upright in front of the screen, with his fingertips sticking to the authentication area.

After the sound of the successful authentication prompt sounded, he withdrew his hand and scanned the several lines of prompts listed separately on the screen.The light screen is roughly divided into several two areas, one is the host information, and the other is the task area.

All the missions that appear in the mission area appear randomly and are refreshed and changed from time to time, so 0829 hardly sees missions in the same world.

"No benefits for novices, system." Going through the contract regulations in his mind, the boy didn't see the easiest task in the task area marked with difficulty.As for those listed in the task area, most of them are unacceptable at his current level.

The system still has a business-like attitude: "There is a low-level task to adapt to the system, do you want to accept it?"

The young man sighed slightly, thinking that the system like it was before signing the contract was more interesting.Now this is a one-to-one look, answering basic questions needs to be triggered.

"Take it."

After the voice fell, the task area immediately faded away, leaving a square marked as the task has been accepted, but there was no reminder about the content.

The characters floated and changed, and the host interface remained unchanged. A card pool interface was outlined with lines in the lower right corner.

His eyes paused for a moment on the column of the name. It was not a surname, but a few cold numbers, 0829.

"Do you want to draw a card?" The system voice interrupted the young Piaoyuan's thoughts.

The boy numbered 0829 came back to his senses, reached out and clicked on the card pool interface.

The card pool opened by the novice task only has NR level cards, and 0829 can't see which ones are there before the draw.

The card system is a system that draws cards to enter the mission world. He heard from the system that fooled him before that they have a formal business license and are recognized by the world consciousness.

The card pools that can be drawn in different difficulty tasks are also different. There is a certain chance of a cooperative mode in some high-difficulty tasks. 0829 noticed this at the end when signing the contract.

0829 doesn't know anything about the cooperation model. After all, he is just a newcomer and has no access to those difficult tasks.

Click on the small box with the word "extraction" written, there is no exaggerated special effect, only a little diffuse light floating around, the next moment, it disappears without a trace with the appearance of the card.

0829 received the materialized card, turned to the front without expecting it - N card.The corners of his mouth twitched slightly. Although he was mentally prepared, he still felt like being bullied when he saw it.

On the front of the card is a cannibal that is far from normal human appearance. Although there is the word cannibal, it is indicated in the card introduction that this is a special ghost.

"N【ghost · nameless】

Introduction: The lowest level ghost in the process of transformation.

Note: Please restrain the host's ghost instinct and protect at least one human being. "

pain.

This idea remained in the brain that was close to being unable to think.

Cells that do not belong to the body cause the body to crack and collapse inch by inch from the inside to the outside, but because of its powerful self-healing ability, it returns to an undamaged appearance.

The severe pain forced people to fall asleep, and the next moment, the more unbearable pain woke them up again.

He opened his eyes, only to see a blur of blood.

The pain is slowly subsiding, followed by an overwhelming hunger.

'It smells so good...'

Compared with humans, the sense of smell is more sensitive and clearly smells the smell not far away.The food tasted in the past is dull and tasteless in memory, and it can't be compared with what I smell now.

The nails formed a sharp arc, and the ghost horn on the left side of the forehead protruded.

Only the word 'hunger' was clearly conveyed by the nerves of the brain.

His rationality was suppressed in the depths, and he watched the scene in front of him like an outsider, but he was powerless to stop it.

'food--'

'What is food? '

Like a bell ringing, the body that was about to run towards the source of the smell suddenly stopped.In this second, the suppressed rationality and human thinking ability finally escaped from the cage.

That's people.

This thought was unexpectedly strong, he swallowed hard, a certain strong thought lingered.The nerves of the brain are tense, and as long as they relax, they will become evil spirits driven by instinct.

'This is really...' 0829 finally regained control of his body from the hunger in his head, and his sharp nails dug into his arm, and he tried to suppress those thoughts with pain.

"This state... is really bad." The vocal cords pulled and made a hoarse voice, and the face that could vaguely look like a human being was covered with ghost lines, and the flesh of the lip was accidentally bitten between the opening and closing of the teeth, and the bloody smell lingered in the mouth spread out.

0829 is deeply aware of what 'restraint' is at this moment. At first he thought it was just a little negative influence, but now he seems to be slapping himself, and there is a faint sense of nothingness and pain on his cheeks.

If it wasn't for him still having a layer of system protection, he might have rushed into a village not far away by now.

The wooden door that was smashed when he lost his mind was still on the ground, 0829 stood up, and the wound on his arm was slowly healing.

He looked out at the sky, and it was almost the time for the sun to rise, and the only place to hide from the sun in the house was a small cabinet in the corner.

0829: "..." He felt a little sad about his task treatment.

If you want to return to your thoughts, you must continue to do the task.

0829 slowly leaned over and opened the door of the cupboard, and he had to crouch to barely enter the narrow space.

He tried his best to roll himself into a ball, and he had to be careful that the ghost horn would poke a round hole in the not-so-hard cabinet.Then he stretched out his fingers and gently hooked a little depression on the inside, and clicked the cabinet door closed from the inside.

0829 Swallowing again, the body that had just transformed into a ghost screamed for hunger all the time.He deliberately diverted his attention and turned on the system to provide a map.

The white dot on the map is his location, the green dots are the villagers in the nearby village, and there is a light blue dot that suddenly appears at the entrance of the village and is about to meet the green dot.

what happened?

0829 was slightly stunned, his eyes fell on the blue dot for three seconds, and a line of prompts automatically popped up next to it.

Blue dot: Demon Slayer Squad Swordsman (level unknown)

0829: "..." How unlucky it is to meet someone from the Ghost Killing Squad.

Not daring to blink, he watched the blue dot stop at the fork in the road, then turned to the right, getting closer and closer to his hiding house.

0829 held his breath subconsciously, his hands and feet were stiff and he didn't dare to move at will, for fear that the swordsman of the Ghost Slayer Squad who was already standing at the door would find something unusual and rush in to kill him.

"What's wrong here?"

Murata suddenly withdrew his feet as he was about to walk into the house.He turned his head and saw that it was the old man who brought him into the village to ask.

"Ah," Murata's eyes fell on the damaged door, he said hesitantly, "It's nothing, I just feel that this place is remote, and I'm just a little curious."

The old man followed his gaze and glanced at the door panel, and didn't want to say anything more about it: "You haven't had a good rest." She noticed that Murata's eyes were blue, and it was obvious that she hadn't slept much recently.

Murata, who had just finished a mission and dropped by the village here, was silent for two seconds.

The old man stretched out his hand to take him to find a place to rest. Murata couldn't stay any longer, so he could only look back at each step. He always felt that something was wrong in the house, but he couldn't tell the specifics.

The footsteps were going away, and the blue dots on the map that belonged to the swordsmen of the Demon Slayer Squad were also going away.

0829 finally relaxed, realizing that it was not easy for him to be a ghost.It's fine to fight against the instinct of cannibalism, but also to protect the human beings that appear in the recipe on this basis.

0829 sighed deeply, deeply.

Even if the swordsman left, 0829 didn't move any more, and waited until dark before preparing to move.

On the map, the conspicuous blue dot moved here again after resting during the day.

'If you can't hurt someone, you can only avoid it yourself. With this in mind, 0829 quickly jumped out of the closet, turned out the window, and went straight to the woods behind the village.Soon, the figure disappeared into the depths of the forest.

Due to the presence of villagers all the time, it was not suitable for Murata to go directly into that room. He thought that even if there were ghosts, he would not come out during the day, so he took a short sleep to replenish his strength, and rushed over there with a knife full of courage. .

There was no news about ghosts in this area, and Murata was indeed passing by for a rest, so he did not expect to come across a place that might be problematic by such a coincidence.

The chain crow set off earlier than him, and flew towards the wooden house with a clear goal.

When Murata ran near the wooden house, the Chain Jay had already landed on a tree not far away, and he would subconsciously ignore it if he didn't look carefully.

Murata cautiously took a small step in, put his palm on the handle of the knife at his waist, and drew the knife as soon as there was any movement.

The faint smell of blood that hadn't been noticed during the day still remained here.

His heartbeat was beating uncontrollably due to nervousness, Murata tried his best to quietly walk around the shattered door panel on the ground, and put out a defensive posture in front of him with the Japanese sword out of its sheath.

——Absolutely there are ghosts.

The previous idea was confirmed at this moment, and there was still a little dried blood stain in the dark place on the ground.

The only thing that can hide ghosts during the day is the corner cabinet.

Murata had paid attention to the closed cabinet during the day, but now the cabinet door was wide open, and there was nothing inside, as if telling him that it was a long time late.

The ghost is gone.

Murata couldn't figure out why the ghost left for the time being, and the chain crow didn't find any trace of the ghost.

"Oh yeah."

The moonlight passed through the door, casting long shadows on the ground.

Just as Murata relaxed a little, he raised his heart immediately.

The voice was full of malice, and it sent a chill down his back.It was clearly the hottest night in summer, but it made him feel a chill all over his body.

"It seems to have found a happy surprise." The ghost stared directly at Murata's back with scarlet pupils, and the corners of its mouth curled into a smile, "Swordsman of the ghost killing team, why don't you turn around and look at me?"

At 0829, he ran into the depths of the woods to find a cave, but failed.

He deeply realized that he might have to go back to that small cabinet, but the consequence would be that he would be caught by the swordsmen of the Ghost Slayer Squad.

"Forget it." 0829 maintained a good attitude, "It's a big deal and I will go far to find the next village."

I have to say that besides making him almost cannibal, the ghost transformation is also very good for enhancing the five senses of the body.

... No, this disadvantage is enough to outweigh all the advantages.

It was useless to walk any further, so 0829 simply sat down cross-legged on the spot, made sure there was no one around, and opened the system interface at a point in the void to view detailed prompts.

The light from the virtual screen illuminated 0829's face, which was blue and black.

"Let me see..." 0829 closed the task details, zoomed in on the map and noticed his position, "It's not too far from the village, and it's enough time to go back. The green dot hasn't changed much, and they should all be asleep. The blue dot is in my previous room. There's this red dot—"

The sound faltered suddenly, and 0829 suddenly realized that something was wrong, and quickly got up from the ground to close the virtual screen and run wildly in the same direction.

——What happened to the luck of the swordsman of the Demon Slayer Squad?The ones that can be marked as red dots on the map are ghosts that have eaten at least a dozen people! !
