3. The Shroud of Gold

"I have checked it. Your parents... are already unfortunate. You are a boy, you want to mourn me!"

When the two people were frozen on the TV and saw two familiar but unfamiliar faces, my last bit of luck burst like a bubble, and I was stunned. It seemed that I had lost all my strength and sat on the ground. At some point, he had removed the constraints on my body.

He looked at me for a while, shook his head helplessly, and with a flash of his finger, a glass of wine flew in front of me, with a very clever and skillful force.

I didn't care about what was in the wine glass, nor did I pay attention to his juggling technique. I grabbed the wine glass and drank all the liquid inside.

The spicy feeling spread from my mouth to my throat, until my stomach, and I almost immediately roared, mixed with crying roars, and even I didn't know what the hell was calling.

All I know is that I am angry, sad, and very helpless.

I only cried for a while, and the anger in my heart gradually suppressed everything, pounced on the person, grabbed his mind, and shouted: "Tell me what's going on? Otherwise I'll kill you!"

With a light push, I couldn't help but fly up and hit the wall hard.

His strength was so strong that I felt a thud from the back, and my whole body seemed to be broken. Even at the beginning, I couldn't even feel my own body, let alone stand up and get angry.

The man seemed to be very bad, and he coughed hard for more than ten times before he could barely take a breath and said with some dissatisfaction: "The person who killed your parents is also my enemy! You want to take revenge, first, you find the wrong partner, second, even if I am, I will not be Loki's opponent. You are just an ordinary person, so forget all this and live a good life."

I cursed: "Loki? Do you think it's Nordic myth? Is there any Thor?"

He shook his head and said, "Maybe this Loki is not as powerful as the legendary Nordic god, but it is even more terrifying... Oh! In addition, his strength is considered weak to be compared with the god in the mythology. Don't compare it with the use of the useless person in the movie. If the one in the movie...he is much stronger than the sad useless person."

"I'm going to kill that bastard, I want him to tear him into pieces and die without a place to bury..."

"It's very regretful! You can't do it!"

I stood up with difficulty and stared at the man, his eyes as fierce as a wolf, and his heart was full of anger and sadness that could not be vented. He roared softly: "I want to avenge my parents... I can do it! Or, I have to do it, right?" Seeing my persistent eyes, the man shook his head, threw a bottle of wine, and whispered: "Drink it all."

Without any hesitation, I raised the bottle and killed all the spirits inside in one breath. I just took a sip of this thing and knew how strong this wine is, but even if it was poison, I didn’t care. I dared to do anything now, I just wanted to find something to vent, including killing people!

"Okay! You saved me too. Since you insisted, I'll tell you the whole story of this matter."

The man smiled slightly, and didn't know where to find another wine like that just now. He used his thumb to pop the bottle off and took a big mouthful of it. Then he slowly said: "There are many secrets in this world. Only a few people know these secrets, and most people don't know them! The vast majority of people in this world live in lies, and they live a peaceful and happy life... Well! Or they are not happy, but at least they are happier than us."

"You may not know, oh... I said nonsense, you should not know. There is a parallel world intertwined with our main world, which we call the Dark World! Although we have discovered the Dark World for a long time, for about thousands of years, governments in various countries only began to formally develop the Dark World in 1953. This kind of government-level development has been underway for more than 60 years."

Seeing that I was listening carefully, the man couldn't help but smile and continued: "The trajectory of the development of civilization in the dark world is completely different from that of the mechanical and electronic civilization like the earth. It is completely different in a different mode, full of all kinds of strange and powerful lives and various incredible existences, as well as indescribable wealth and power."

"There is even a saying that most myths and religious legends in our world are actually descriptions of that world by people who have entered the dark world or come into contact with creatures in the dark world. So we call the civilization development model of the dark world - ghosts and gods civilization. Loki and I have both entered the dark world and obtained inhuman abilities in that world."

"I'm going to enter the dark world!"

I interrupted him for the first time, and this sentence was firm and without any hesitation.

The man shrugged his shoulders slightly, looked at me for a while, then suddenly laughed and said, "Okay! Even if you save your life, I can help you enter the dark world. But I want to remind you that from 1953, governments, some super enterprises and underground forces have sent about three million people into the dark world, but there are currently less than 100,000 people active in the dark world. These 100,000 people also include old guys who entered the dark world for various reasons before large-scale development. In addition to those smart people who voluntarily withdrew, almost 80% of those who died unexpectedly, which means that at least 240,000 people died in it."

"I'm not afraid of death! I'm going to kill Loki!"

The man laughed again, and said casually: "In the dark world, at least more than 10,000 people want to kill him, including me, also want to kill this annoying person, but no one has ever done it. Instead, he almost killed me this time. If you want to kill him, try to improve your strength. I will give you a small gift, or it will save your life at some point!"

He handed me a piece of cloth that looked very much like gold foil, which was thirty centimeters long and only a slap. It was as thin as the best silk paper, with a very soft texture and elasticity. It felt more comfortable to caress than the softest silk, and it could stretch it long with a slight pull.

I took this thing and played with it for a while, but I didn't understand what it was for.
