Soul Echo

The sky is gloomy and dark. A bloody waning moon hangs alone in the darkness. Thick clouds are slowly eroding the light on the earth.

The whistling wind slammed into the pinna, awakening Zhong Ye from the coma.

The cold wind blowing in his face made him shudder, and he slowly sat up, feeling as if his body hadn't moved in seven or eight hundred years, stiff and rusty, just 'sit up' This action makes the skeleton crackle sound.

—what happened?

Zhong Ye reluctantly regained his self-consciousness in his drowsy brain, looked around in confusion, and found himself sitting on a barren slope with sparse grass and leaves, except for the bottom of the slope. There is nothing more than those few fragments of walls.

He looked back dazedly, lowered his head and looked at his clothes, but it was a set of sportswear that was out of tune with the surrounding environment.

Zhong Ye stood up tremblingly. He had never felt so weak before, as if he had been hungry for three days and three nights, but he could still feel the full muscles under his sportswear.

fiercely took a few breaths and swallowed again. Zhong Ye felt that his strength was returning to his body, and he didn't feel a dry throat. Only then did he confirm that he was not in a coma for too long.

But then many questions come to mind.

——Where is this place? Why do you appear here?

Shaking his head vigorously, Zhong Ye couldn't find any relevant clues from his memory. His last clear memory was that he was on his way to a party at a friend's house, and he didn't know what happened after that. understood.

Clouds engulfed the moonlight, and all around was plunged into darkness, with only sparse light penetrating through weak spots.

Zhong Ye, who regained his strength, decided to go to the ruins below the barren slope. Even if he didn't find anything, he could get a shelter from the wind and rain. Staying here would only make him catch a cold.

However, when he stepped into the ruins, his body immediately stiffened, his eyes were wide open, and he stared straight ahead.

——[Has entered the ruins of Greystone Village]

A line of subtitles was projected on his retina, provoking a cold sweat all over his body, so that he hurriedly touched his own Body.

This is his real body, yes, he is not in the game, but why does this thing appear?

Zhong Ye stood at the border of the ruins, pursing her lips tightly.

The strong wind soaring in the sky tore away the dark clouds, and the bloody moonlight poured down on the earth, reflected in Zhong Ye's eyes.

Suddenly, Zhong Ye inexplicably remembered what 'Blood Moonlight' represented in "Soul Echo"-

Bang!

The sound of a heavy object falling suddenly sounded, and Zhong Ye turned his head to see that it was a door panel. After it fell to the ground, it caused a lot of smoke and dust, and the dust was floating in the moonlight.

"Uh..."

He moved his eyes and followed the sound.

Smelling the breath of the living creature, the corpse woke up under the call of the blood moon, the resentment in the body drove the empty body, grabbed the door frame and walked out of the darkness of the wreckage of the house, appearing in Zhong Ye's sight. .

The skin that clings to the skeleton has lost its luster, and even the blood vessels are shriveled and wrinkled with dirt and dust that shakes off with every movement.

The mutilated eyelids were propped up, and in the deep eye sockets, the soul fire used the shrinking eyeballs as firewood, burning roaringly, revealing infinite malice.

At the moment of seeing the corpse, another layer of subtitles appeared on Zhong Ye's retina:

[zombie: under the call of the blood moon and the stimulation of living creatures , the corpse came back to life, it resented all life in the world, it would attack all living things within its perception range, and it would never stop because of its stiffness and slow response. This undying creature is extremely weak, and as long as the fear of its terrifying appearance can be overcome, even a farmer can easily kill it]

[——unlock knowledge (monster-undying creature), unlock skills: Weakness perception (humanoid)]

Zhong Ye took a deep breath, the smell of dust floating in the air filled his nose, and the clear touch constantly reminded the brain that this is not a game world!

Facing the zombie, Zhong Ye raised his arms. He is the youngest Battlemaster on Earth. He has fought with his bare hands and soldiers wearing fully enclosed power armor, not to mention a small one. little zombie?

Step forward with the left foot, when the sole of the foot touches the ground, the knees suddenly bow, and as the upper body leans forward, the silhouette shoots out like an arrow and slams into place.

[——Unlocked skill: sprint]

"...ah."

zombie staggers, staggers forward, withered double Claws fluttered wildly in the air.

A black shadow came suddenly, first slamming away the hands blocking Zombie's chest, and then directly printing into the corpse's chest.

[——Unlocked Skill: Shape Intent Fist (Cannon Fist)]

The moment the fist touches the chest of this living corpse, it is crushing dry weeds and smashing rotten wood The thin skin was torn, the rotten sternum and ribs were broken, and the powerful force drilled into the body, and the cold soul fire in the eye sockets swelled and exploded in an instant.

[——Unlocked Skill: Strength]

Zhong Ye pulled out his fist from the chest cavity of the corpse, and the empty body collapsed to the ground, swaying a little dust.

Shaking off the debris on his hands, Zhong Ye looked up into the depths of the ruins.

Many corpses responded to the blood moon's summon, crawled up muddleheaded, firmly controlled by resentment, stepped out of the shadows, and looked at the one who stepped into this dead place and disturbed their sleep. thing.

The complex smell filling the nasal cavity, the cold wind that irritates the skin, and the hitting feel that is exactly similar to reality...all of these remind Zhong Ye to accept the reality.

This is not a dream, this is not a game, it is more impossible to be a prank.

It is very likely that he really encountered the 'traversal' event and transmigrated into "Soul Echo".

It's just that he couldn't understand why it was him, and when he thought of his relatives and friends in another world, Zhong Ye couldn't help but feel restless.

He wanted to vent his irritability, but now, there are many 'sandbags' coming towards him that can let him vent the sullenness in his chest.

Zhong Ye walked over to face the living dead and gradually adjusted his breathing.

Skulls and zombies with broken limbs and broken arms walked out of the ruins of the village in pieces. At the moment when the living person stepped into the ruins, they were awakened and crawled back to the world full of resentment.

Different from the complete corpse just now, most of the undead appearing in front of Zhong Ye now lack arms and legs, and none of them have complete vocal organs.

Some of the faces are sunken, and only a slight soul fire shines through the gaps of the congealed slag. Some of the rib cages have been cut open. One or two legs are missing and crawling on the ground with difficulty.

Zhong Ye had never seen such a tragic scene before, and couldn't help being shocked for a moment, but soon, Silently punched a skeleton approaching in front of him.

skull smashed bone and splintered, but failed to open the calloused fist.

Beginning at the age of five, Zhong Ye's 18 years of hard training has given Zhong Ye a strong body, and now, at the age of 23, he has been in the past five years with various Fight against enemies to hone your martial skills and will.

From underground boxers to world champions, from pythons to tigers, from fighting experts to soldiers wearing fully enclosed power armor, they have only experienced a few failures.

Whether it's combat or weapons, he has achieved a realm that is unattainable for ordinary people.

These undead are just corpses that have been awakened under the influence of the blood moon. When the blood moon falls, they will be deactivated again and turned into corpses that are unable to move.

With the help of the ruins, Zhong Ye spent more than ten minutes to eliminate all the undead that appeared in front of him.

He took a deep breath and saw the subtitles that were refreshed on the retina again and again, gradually blurred and fused together, forming a text that seemed familiar.

[A large number of similar skills are detected, and all skill proficiency has reached 'Proficient', skill fusion - unlock skill: Battlemaster]

[The battle is over, you by the strength of oneself clears the undead in the ruins of Greystone Village, and obtains 18 soul fragments (which can be used to improve character level and skill level)]

[Through this battle, you have shown qualities that are enough to be recognized by the will of the world , Get Occupation: Martial Artist, yes/no employment? ]

Under Zhong Ye's attention, the words other than 'Martial Artist' faded rapidly. On the contrary, these two words quickly solidified.

Finally, the blooming rays of light——

【You have been employed as 'Martial Artist'! ]

Zhong Ye closed his eyes and felt the changes in his body.

After a long time, the sound of horse hooves suddenly entered his ears, causing him to open his eyes and project his sharp gaze.

The sound of the horse's hooves gradually weakened. The man sitting on the horse looked down at Zhong Ye, grabbed the hilt of the long sword behind him, and asked vigilantly, "Who are you?"
