i became a shadow

Chapter 4 Proof
The character simulated by the system is very realistic. Even though Duo knew that the prisoner in front of him was fake, it was still difficult to stab him with the short sword in his hand. After all, he was just an ordinary student in his previous life.

It's okay to ask him to take the exam with papers, but as for killing... Forget it, he doesn't even dare to kill chickens, let alone people.

Duo thinks so, but it doesn't mean that the prisoner is the same.

I saw the prisoner, like an extremely swift cheetah, attacking Duo at galloping speed, without any hesitation.

There was a bloodthirsty gleam in his eyes. Even though he was unconscious, there was no way to ignore that murderous look.

Seeing this, Duo was shocked, not daring to relax a bit.

Looking at the prisoner who looked like a mad dog, he involuntarily clenched the hilt of his sword again, as if this would give him a sense of security.

Finally, the prisoner came to Duo and punched the latter directly.

Duo's heart trembled, and he hurriedly blocked the opponent's attack with his short sword.

He didn't know whether it was because he didn't adapt to the virtual body, or because the prisoner had great strength, Duo's hand gripping the hilt of the sword was shaking desperately.

no!It can't be stopped at all, it's just a punch, just let yourself do this, if you do it a few more times... Duo can't imagine it, but it's definitely going to be terrible.

At the same time that Duo was thinking, the prisoner moved, he suddenly freed his feet, and swept towards Duo with a force that ordinary people could not understand.

The air current in the air whistled at this moment, and rolled the surrounding cyclones, as if what he swung was not a foot, but a very hard iron rod.

Duo saw it, but to no avail.

With mental strength beyond the limit of human beings, he can quickly catch the extremely ferocious attacks from the opponent.

However, it was of little use, because my body couldn't keep up at all.

Although he has escaped the erosion of the dark space, he has not been able to move his limbs for a long time, and he is no longer as flexible as before.

As a direct result, Duo could only watch, kicking him like an iron rod.

Not surprisingly, Duo fell to the ground, and at the same time the short sword that was tightly grasped was released from his hand.

"pain……"

Duo lay on the ground moaning in pain, his facial muscles wrinkled together.

This time it was not a spiritual tear, but a real physical touch.

"Is this really a simulation?"

No wonder he thought so, because it was so real that he doubted what the system said.

Feeling the pain clearly coming from his waist, he grinned and stretched out his hand instinctively to cover it.

It's just that his hands touched his waist, and his face suddenly changed.

Wait a moment?Where is my short sword? !
Duo suddenly reacted, and the cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

It seems that it was lost just now, but where can it be lost?
This question just appeared in Duo and then disappeared without a trace, leaving only a blank in his mind.

Because he saw that hideous prisoner, holding an extremely sharp dagger in his hand, approaching Duo.

At first he didn't notice the quality of the short sword.

Now he knows.

The dagger was very bright, like a carefully polished mirror, from which Duo could see himself clearly, and it was like a delicate work of art, which was slowly enlarged in his eyes at the same time.

"and many more……"

Duo's eyes were wide open, his face was terrified, and he yelled out, but what responded him was a sharp pain.

The prisoner was like an extremely excited beast, and stabbed Duo on the ground one after another, and the dark red and thick blood spurted out instantly.

Like a gurgling stream staining the ground red.

Duo's eyes gradually dimmed, and he only felt that there were many blood holes on his body, causing fatal pain so far.

He kept struggling desperately, trying to grab the dagger that shone with cold light, but he couldn't use his strength.

Desperation swept through his brain, he wanted to ask for help from Zed who was standing not far away, but the other party's indifference caught his eyes.

From the beginning to the end, Jie just watched Duo being brutally dismembered, without any urge to save him.

He has been watching indifferently.

Duo was puzzled, does the other party not want to teach me ninjutsu at all?
Could it be that he just watched his disciple die tragically?

Is it really so ruthless?
Too many doubts and anger filled his mind.

Duo really wanted to ask Jie, this kind of despair was worse than before, after all, he was alone at that time, and he could only rely on himself.

Now there is a master in name, watching himself being dismembered indifferently.

why?
With such a question in mind, Duo slowly lost consciousness.

……

When Duo woke up again, he was already lying on the overlapping steps.

He rubbed his temples lightly, and then looked around blankly.

Am I not dead?why here?

Duo was sure that the suffocating feeling of despair was right, something only death could give.

Thinking of the prisoner waving the dagger wildly, and lying on the ground in despair, letting him be slaughtered.

This scene was like a nightmare, and he couldn't help shivering.

"woke up?"

An icy voice brought Duo back to reality, Zed asked without any regret.

Duo bowed his head and remained silent for a long time.

The uncomfortable atmosphere of silence lasted for an unknown amount of time.

Until Duo suddenly raised his head and said without any emotion.

"why?"

This sentence seems to be questioning Jie, but also like asking himself.

Even Duo thought it was ridiculous, why did the other party save you, just because of the master in name?

Rationality told him that all of this was just a matter of course, and Jie had no friendship with himself.

It's a pity that reason is just reason after all, and Duo is just an ordinary person, he can't ignore the severe pain coming from his body.

The crackling sound of blades cutting bone.

The cold feeling of blood stagnating slowly.

The whole brain is filled with pain.

This made Duo forget everything, only the anger he didn't know who to send.

When Jie heard such a question, he didn't answer immediately, but asked Duo instead.

"How did you feel?"

Duo was silent for a while, but still answered the other party's question.

"End all this soon..."

Whether he killed the other party or was killed by the other party, he just wanted to be freed as soon as possible.

I'm just afraid of the pain...

Jie Wenyan nodded lightly, slowly came to Duo's side, and squatted down to sit on the steps.

"Of course it's easy to settle everything, but often the courage to live is greater than seeking death, being slandered by others, accused by thousands, betrayed by relatives, etc., countless difficulties and tribulations..."

Jie's words were not resonant, but they were like a lit bomb, which blew up in Duao's heart.

All of a sudden, his heart was ups and downs.

"It's better to be strong than to pin your hopes on an irrelevant person!"

Jie stood up slowly, and the sharp dagger groaned, as if catering to the other party's words.

"But after seeing your performance, it's really disappointing. Is it because of your limited ability, or am I expecting too much from you?"

Duo didn't answer, he lowered his head so that no one could see his expression.

"I will teach you well during this time according to the agreement. Even if you are mediocre, you should be able to..."

"I will prove myself!"

Before Jie finished speaking, Duo suddenly raised his head, his eyes full of determination.

"Even though I know you are very strong, I will still try my best to learn, and then master all your abilities, and beat you openly in the field I am best at!"

Not to be outdone, Duo looked directly at Zed's mask.

"Laugh at my ignorance, but don't think it will change my mind!"

Jie seemed a little taken aback, then his masked face was full of interest,

Looking at Duo who swears to himself, he smiled indifferently, but there seemed to be a hint of other emotion in his voice.

"I am waiting……"
