When Lin Chi woke up, he found himself lying in the soil.

The smell of blood and rotten smell floated in the air around him, and they mixed together to form an indescribable "scent". Lin Chi stretched out his right hand to cover his mouth and nose. He was about to try to speak, but he found that his tongue and lips seemed to have all lost consciousness.

——What's going on this time?

Since it is not a game, it is just an ordinary passerby. As a plot enthusiast, he did not check out those strategies or discussion posts containing spoilers before entering the map.

Because of this, he was confused when he just woke up. Apart from knowing the name of this map, he was basically in a state of ignorance of other information.

The map I have lined up this time is called "Afterfall of the Abyss". If I remember correctly, this map was updated at the same time as "Frozen Savia Valley", "Hell Capital" and "Mechanism City".

Lin Chi has experienced the other three maps, and this is his first time here. Judging from the map introduction before entering the game, he should have come to a place in the medieval European continent, but he can't tell where it is.

Lin Chi opened his eyes and saw a pale crescent moon hanging high in the sky like a sickle. He stretched out his left hand and touched it nearby, finding himself lying in the soil. And... he also touched the cold round object.

He slowly sat up, adapted to the feeling of his new body, and looked at the thing he touched with the moonlight. What he entered his sight was a yellow human skull.

"This is……"

Realizing that the start was not right, Lin Chi looked around and found that the outline of human bones was exposed in the soil, and there were several headless corpses whose human shapes were not rotten and could still be seen, lying less than five meters beside him.

——Is the character played by the player in this map the resurrected undead?

Lin Chi was speculating on the current situation and noticed that several figures appeared on the path not far away, casting long shadows under the moonlight.

Seeing someone coming, he had just sat up, and decisively lay down again, and began to pretend to be dead. However, his eyes were not completely closed, and he looked at the scene beside him through a narrow gap between his eyelids.

The heavy footsteps sounded from far to near, and they should be a tall and strong man. The thick figure just now seemed to confirm this. Lin Chi, who was lying on his side, couldn't see the other person's appearance from this angle, and could only see the brown leather boots of those few people stepping in the black soil.

Something was thrown by Lin Chi, blocking his sight. When the vision became clear, Lin Chi saw the rough fabric and gray hands.

——It's a corpse.

Listening to the sound of the strong man's footsteps gradually faded away until the sound completely disappeared, Lin Chi finally sat up again and turned his head to look at the corpses that fell beside him.

The bodies of two men and two women were thrown beside him, and their skin was gray and white that was unique to the dead. The eyes were only white. The clothes on his body were as rough as the clothes on his body.

Just looking at the clothes and dressing, you can tell that these poor people, like themselves, should be the identities of poor people.

In this era, it is normal for lowly poor people to be killed. In this way, this place may be a place where corpse throwing is in the wild, or a mass grave.

But...is it really the case?

Lin Chi tried to move his numb legs, and finally recovered a little consciousness. He stood up slowly, raised his right hand in front of him, and the same gray skin entered his sight.

Now, he can be sure that his role this time was a resurrected corpse. Realizing this, Lin Chi reached out and lifted his clothes and checked whether his body was intact.

From the surface, there were no obvious scars on my body, and my internal organs didn't look like they were missing. Paired with numb lips and the faint smell of almonds in my mouth, Lin Chi had already speculated that the cause of his death was poisoning.

He lowered his head and looked at the headless corpses not far away and the heads on the ground.

This seems to be not a cemetery, but a execution ground for executing prisoners. His role must be one of the executed prisoners. If he stayed here, those strong men who were suspected of being executioners might come back again.

Thinking of this, Lin Chi also turned around decisively and planned to run away first. At this moment, a creepy hoarse whisper sounded from his ears:

"I give you a second life...a sacrifice."

"Who are you?"

Lin Chi said and turned around suddenly and saw the thin "corpse" standing on the execution ground.

Because the light was not good, he thought it was a poor prisoner who had been stripped of a stick. When he walked nearby, he found that the thing was a statue.

While Lin Chi approached, two scarlet eyeballs appeared in the statue's eye sockets, staring at him tightly. The whisper also sounded again, as if conveying instructions to the servants:

"Go and clear out the other cursed people and bring back what we need."

"Wait a minute, I don't know anything."

Lin Chi shook his head, stood in front of the statue like a scoop, and began to collect information directly: "Who are you?"

"Born here, but don't even know my name..."

The statue's eyes turned twice, as if he was helpless, and answered his question in a whisper: "Sacrifice, I am Mephist, to protect the gods here, remember to maintain respect, I can take back your life at any time."

"Oh, that's it." Lin Chi didn't mean to "keep respect" and immediately asked the next question: "So what are you looking for?"

"I need the lives of other cursed people to bring back their souls." Mephist's voice seemed a little angry: "Go quickly, we can't wait too long."

Although Mephist seemed a little impatient, Lin Chi still had no intention of leaving and continued to ask slowly: "What is the cursed person?"

At this time, he had completely regarded this "god" as a common tutorial for novice in old games.

Of course, Lin Chi knew that his gameplay was in danger of being killed, but this was a casual passerby after the game, and his attitude was not as serious as before.
