Wu Ci gathered up all her hair, tied it up with a black hair tie on her wrist so as not to block her view, and began to search the bedroom.

The bedroom has wooden floors and a bookshelf that takes up one entire wall, unlike the living room outside which has mirrors on all four walls.

The desk was placed under the bookshelf. The computer in sleep mode remained on the password authentication screen, emitting a faint light in the dim room.

The bed was a very ordinary single bed, nothing special about it.

On the other wall is a wooden wardrobe, but strangely, without any other storage boxes, the clothes in the wardrobe are all from the same season, and none are too thick or too thin.

Everything in the room was in perfect order, even the angles and distances of the books were placed exactly as they should be.

Wu Ci sat down at the desk which was empty except for the computer and began to think about the computer password.

I can't think of it…

He looked up at the bookshelf in front of him.

There are books in various languages ​​​​on the bookshelf, and they seem to be arranged according to the first letter of the book title, and the books with the same first letter are arranged from left to right in order according to the letters after the first letter.

No, wait…some of the books are not arranged in the right order!

Put yourself in the shoes of the original person... a hidden criminal. He is not as flamboyant as the black cat, but he may also want others to know everything he has done.

The computer was not turned off, but in sleep mode, and the password interface happened to appear, which was a hint for people to turn on the computer!

What about the password? There must be clues to the password, perhaps the layout of the books on the bookshelf in front of the desk, or the title of the book.

The area starting with the letter A is different from "The Reproduction of Flesh and Blood"

The title that begins with the letter B is "The Soul's Origin and the Corruption Caused by Ignorance"

The one that starts with the letter C is "The Leap of Class"

…

Not every area starting with a letter has books placed incorrectly, only 13 of them are placed differently.

Does 13 correspond to the password length?

Then reorganize these 13 books in alphabetical order...the same ones will be placed in the next order...Wu Ci tapped the keyboard and typed out the 13-digit password.

[Password is correct]

At this moment, the computer screen flashed, and the blood-red characters seemed to flow from the screen literally!

[I found you!]

Wu Ci was so frightened that his heart skipped a beat. He sat at his desk without having time to react before the subtitles disappeared and the computer screen immediately turned into a normal desktop.

There was no criminal record as he had imagined, nor anything shameful, let alone the diary or something like that that Wu Ci had hoped to find.

The desktop background is black, and even all the software icons are set to white. There is nothing different from ordinary people. If you have to say it is different, it is that it is too simple.

Wu Ci nervously tried to shut down the computer, entered the password and restarted it, but the same subtitles appeared on the screen again.

[I found you!]

It must be the original owner's bad taste... He did this to scare people by making them guess his password and open his computer.

Really, he has the same childish mentality as the black cat, a psychopath.

He took a deep breath and began to search for the information he wanted to know.

In memory, Dark Star is a globally unified constitutional monarchy, jointly governed by the Eternal Night Royal Family and the Dark Star Government.

Now, although the Dark Star world is still ruled by the Eternal Night Royal Family and the Dark Star Government as it was 20 years ago, a great change had already taken place since the year of his death.

In his memory, there had never been any overt crime except for entertainment shows. The Dark Star world, which was once a peaceful and prosperous world, has turned into a world with magical powers.

Although it is now a modern city with advanced civilization, it is full of dangers outside the city, including various wandering cults that believe in evil gods, wilderness hunters, large and small organizations, various psychopaths who make a living in the wilderness like the original body and the black cat, and some "infected bodies" that appear for unknown reasons.

Modern ordinary weapons are still ineffective against those infected bodies.

The most important thing is that in the year Wu Ci died, which was also the year when the current North Pole Star Emperor ascended the throne, the Sky Group launched the "Sky Curtain Project".

The so-called sky curtain is to avoid unknown creatures and civilizations in the universe. Like a closed country, twelve giant energy base stations are built to wrap and isolate the entire dark planet.

It is said that if the level of alien civilization is not much higher than that of dark stars, the entire dark star will be invisible to those civilizations, and humans can rest assured.

But correspondingly, that energy curtain also blocked out the sunlight. The Dark Star forever lost the day, the sun, the stars, the moon, and the ability to continue to develop technology in the universe, and would never see the dawn again.

Human beings' yearning for the universe is irresistible. Scientists specializing in space exploration have united in protest, and people have also gone on strike and marched, but this only resulted in a brutal and inhumane purge.

All scientists who could have influenced the Sky Dome Project, who specialized in physics, engineering, and had the ability to build space rockets and wanted to build spacecraft, died quietly unless they surrendered to the Sky Consortium and worked for it.

At that time, all the city streets were filled with blood, forcibly strangling the voices of all people who resisted, and forcing them to choose death or silence, just as they had once done with the witchcraft.

The Sky Curtain restricts freedom like a cage, but people on the Internet are grateful to the Sky Group. Everyone is afraid of being caught and punished if they say something wrong.

This has resulted in environmental degradation, a sharp drop in temperature, the inability of plants to grow naturally, famine and disasters, resource depletion, and a technological gap.

Because of the Sky Curtain Project, the Sky Group has increasingly eroded world power and turned the entire Dark Star into a repressive and deformed society.

People huddled in cities, struggling to survive under heavy pressure, and could only pay high taxes to the royal family, the government and the Sky Group to save their lives.

If you were an ordinary person, you would never be able to leave the city and set foot in the dangerous wilderness outside the city for almost eternity.

Because there are more dangers outside the city.

On the dark planet without the sun, outside the city without life support systems and thermal energy to supply floor heating, the temperature has reached minus 200 degrees Celsius. The harsh climate and natural disasters that occur from time to time can wipe out everything. Only the old subway network underground survives those poor and vicious wild people.

Under such circumstances, even the major cities can only be connected by special and unique rail trains.

But correspondingly, a rare and special profession called "spiritual worshiper" was born among humans.

Every year, the Dark Star authorities gather boys and girls aged 18 and above for unified testing. After successfully awakening, qualified people can use ancient artifacts handed down from ancient times to summon heroic spirits that match their own from the long river of history, and let the heroic spirits fight for them.

Throughout history, the heroic spirits born from the spread of legends all possess the characteristics of immortality. As long as the soul-controller who contracts with them is still alive, they can be reborn into the world through the power provided by the soul-controller.

Only a handful of people can become Heroic Spirits according to legend, and only one Heroic Spirit can exist at a time after being summoned. Unless the contract is terminated by the death of the summoner, allowing the Heroic Spirit to return to the long river of history, this Heroic Spirit can respond to the summons again.

Therefore, becoming a rare spiritualist requires even more talent, and only one in ten thousand can become one.

It can be said that becoming a spiritualist is the easiest way to achieve a class leap and become a true top privileged class.

The original body borrowed a student loan from the Sky Group and mortgaged his entire body, future life, and corpse after his death to the Sky Group.

According to the contract, in addition to repaying the student loan every month, if he did not become a spiritualist after the college entrance examination, as a condition for repaying the loan in installments, he had to enter the underground mine of the Sky Group to mine and repay the loan.

Considering the average life span of a laborer, if they rely on these low-level jobs, they will have to work themselves to death to pay off the huge amount of interest and loans. After they die of exhaustion, their body parts and entire bodies will be directly recycled by the Sky Group.

That is to say, it is made into the so-called "spiritual power battery" and installed into the spiritual power technology array of the "city life support system" to provide energy for protection and underground heating of the city, or it can be installed into large-scale spiritual power equipment to carry out engineering operations that ordinary people cannot do.

The original body of the reserve spirit guardian whose spiritual power has been awakened is made into a high-level spiritual power battery, which can be used to maintain the operation of the Sky Curtain Project base station and is extremely precious.

Therefore, if Wu Ci fails to repay the loan and refuses to cooperate with the Sky Group, it is very likely that he will "die on his own" the next day like the 3Dgg ballerina before he encountered, and his corpse will be made into a spiritual power battery and his soul consciousness will be directly extracted, and the data will be uploaded to erase his personality and continue to work.

But on the other hand, if he becomes a spiritualist, he will cross the long-solidified class and work for the Sky Group. After paying off all the loans, he can choose to redeem his life and body and join the Dark Star Government as a civil servant. As long as he does not die halfway, he can become a privileged class that everyone envies.

According to existing clues, the original body has successfully awakened and become a spirit summoner, but he did not succeed in summoning the heroic spirit because he did not have a highly compatible contract object.

That's why the policemen showed sympathetic expressions, and why the black cat went out of his way to snatch the contract items for the original body.

Because the contract item is a precious and rare strategic material, and the more it is used, the less it is. After summoning a heroic spirit, the contract item will become invalid, losing its spiritual charm and becoming an ordinary ancient artifact, and can never be summoned again.

Therefore, except for the awakened spiritualists, the law prohibits others from purchasing evidence.

The official contract evidence can only be obtained with a necromancer's certificate. If you go to the flagship store to buy it yourself, it may not be available, the price is very high, and it may not be successful.

The wooden bead bracelet that Black Cat gave to Wu Ci came from the Qian Dynasty, which is the closest dynasty to the present one.

The power of the Heroic Spirit will decrease over time, but the probability of successfully summoning it will increase accordingly.

The Qian Dynasty is recent, and compared to those heroes in the legends of ancient times who can pick stars and moons, create the world, exist only in theory, and have almost never been summoned, the Qian Dynasty is undoubtedly the most suitable dynasty for soul guardians to summon heroes, and it is also the dynasty in which heroes are most common in the hands of current soul guardians.

The original body was a successfully awakened spiritualist. Wu Ci could see a faint spiritual charm on the wooden bead bracelet through the original body's eyes.

He took out the pencil he had carried with him.

In the pencil, there is a fainter spiritual charm that seems to be there and not there, but there is a mysterious connection connecting the witch words to it.

He probably understood, he probably understood what was going on.

This is the connection between the Heroic Spirit and the Contract Object!

He is the heroic spirit summoned by the original body!

The original body disappeared for unknown reasons when summoning him, so Wu Ci took this opportunity to be pulled into the body of the original body by coincidence and replaced the original body's identity.

This pencil is from 20 years ago. The witch 20 years ago had handled this pencil at some point in time or this pencil was related to him. Therefore, this pencil has now become the evidence to summon the witch and the anchor that maintains his existence in the present time period.

The birth of a Heroic Spirit requires time to settle and legends to spread. Currently, the most recent Heroic Spirits are from the Qian Dynasty, more than 400 years ago. It is truly unheard of that a witch from 20 years ago can become a Heroic Spirit and occupy the body of a spirit guardian.

But perhaps because of his special nature, Wu Ci is not immortal like other heroes, and he cannot even lose the pencil that is connected to him.

Other Heroic Spirits have the Soul Guardian as an anchor, so they naturally won't disappear without the voucher. It's also impossible for an outsider to get the voucher and bypass the Soul Guardian to cancel the Heroic Spirit Contract.

Even if other heroic spirits are unwilling to accept the orders of the spirit guardian or do not like their own spirit guardian, they can cancel the contract themselves and return to the long river of time to wait for the next spirit guardian to summon them with other certificates.

But Wuci is different. His necromancer is dead. Without the necromancer as an anchor, he cannot be resurrected by the necromancer's energy like other heroic spirits after his death.

It is like a kite without anyone holding it, and the pencil is a wooden stake. Only by tying the kite to the pencil can it prevent it from being blown away or falling down.

If someone else gets this pencil, they can even give him orders. If he does not obey the orders, the holder can use the pencil to cancel his contract. At that time, he does not know whether he will return to the long river of time or face death.

Wu Ci carefully put away the pencil and carried it close to his body.

In theory, people can only summon heroes that are compatible with themselves. The higher the degree of compatibility and the more similar the two people are, the greater the chance of success.

He was able to summon Wu Ci from 20 years ago, and he looks exactly like Wu Ci. The degree of compatibility between the original body and Wu Ci is estimated to be over 90%.

Including personality, experience, hobbies, and personal abilities.

As for the chance to live again, Wu Ci thought that he had nothing to do with his original self, a man of wild origin and a mental disorder.

It can only be that he had a bad reputation in his previous life and people misunderstood him. Otherwise, how could he be summoned out by this latent criminal who had been suppressed for so long and became twisted...

Wu Ci thought about it and searched the Internet for himself 20 years ago, but found no information.

No... no news.

Everything about him and the "entertainment and legal education program" were deliberately erased.

But it’s not a big deal… It’s not too long since it happened 20 years ago, and erasing the traces won’t erase people’s memories. Anyway, everyone has a new identity now…

After looking at the remaining wooden bead bracelets and thinking for a moment, Wu Ci decided to give it a try.

He followed the summoning procedure he had just found out, bit his thumb with his sharp canine teeth, squeezed out a drop of blood and dripped it on the evidence, then said in a deep voice: "Unknown heroic spirit in the long river of history, please obey my summons."

The evidence has not changed in the slightest.

Is it not possible?

Wu Ci put down his raised hands and turned his neck.

That's right, after the death of the spiritual master, he did not return to the long river of history, but got a new body and started a new life, which was already a blessing.

Although the time of formation is too short and there is no such precedent, he is also a Heroic Spirit in the final analysis. Using the body of a Soul Guardian to perceive spiritual auras like a Soul Guardian is already the limit. He can't do anything else, and he can't summon Heroic Spirits using the common methods like an orthodox Soul Guardian.

It would be better for him to get some sleep first. He has been tense from the time he opened his eyes to now, 20 years after his death. He is so tired.

What's more, there is a cannibal outside the door who may come in and compete with him at any time, and tomorrow he will have to face the dilemma of being unable to pay the loan and being caught to dig mines.

Wu Ci planned to go to bed early without making things difficult for himself, but he saw out of the corner of his eye that the wooden beads were gradually absorbing his blood beads.

Mysterious opportunities spread, and the small rental house was filled with golden light.

The following subtitle appeared in front of Wu Ci:

【Legend Simulator has been started】

What is this? Isn't it a summoning of heroic spirits? What on earth is this?

Wu Ci stretched out his hand and waved in the direction where the subtitles appeared in his sight.

Nothing.

Subtitle change:

【Player Information】

[Name: Wuci (pseudonym)/“???”]

[Spirit Master Level (Fake): Locked]

[Soul Strength: 10.0]

[Identity: Spirit Master (fake)/Heroic Spirit/? ? (Unknown level)]

[Heroic Spirit: None]

Player character panel?

Wu Ci pondered for a moment. He knew that the soul strength of a normal adult in the Dark Star World was 1.0, and the soul strength of a successfully awakened warlock would become above 1.0, and it would increase with the continuous training of the contracted heroic spirit or various adventures and natural treasures.

I just saw it online. Soul strength is a very important thing. The soul strength of an ordinary spirit guardian can only be used to initially contract with an ordinary-level Heroic Spirit of the Qian Dynasty. If you want a stronger Heroic Spirit or a Heroic Spirit from an older time, you can only cancel the previous contract to replace it, and the strength of the Heroic Spirit cannot exceed your own soul strength.

If a soul-controller wants to contract with multiple heroic spirits, he must rely on natural treasures and accidental encounters to increase the strength of his soul to a certain limit.

Because it is a slow and limited process for a soul-controller to hone his own soul with the help of the contracted Heroic Spirit, he cannot naturally grow to the point where he can support a second Heroic Spirit.

However... Wu Ci touched the panel of Void and felt a little confused.

The soul strength of most newly awakened necromancers is 1.1, 1.2, 1.3... almost none of them exceed 1.5.

Furthermore, the standard for contracting a second Heroic Spirit is that the Soul Strength must reach 2.0, the third is 3.0, and so on. The more the Soul Strength increases, the more difficult it is to contract, so there are very few Soul Guardians who can contract more than three Heroic Spirits.

Then why is he at level 10.0 right after awakening? Is it because of his status as a Heroic Spirit?

Wu Ci studied it for a while and found that the identity column could be clicked on.

[Identity: Spirit Master (fake)/Heroic Spirit/? ? (Unknown level)]

【? ? ? ? .Witch Words (Unknown Grade)】

[Upper limit: ???]

[Heroic Spirit's own entries: Weakness, Misfortune, Divinity]

[Heroic Spirit Awakening (initialized): Not Awakened/0 Awakened]

【Treasure: 2H pencil】

[Talent: Preacher L (upgradable), Ordinary Person L (upgradable)]

【Field: Unlocked】

Are there so many question marks? Or is he a nobody, so weak that he can't even be rated, and there is no such thing as an upper or lower limit?

So what is natural talent?

Just as Wu Ci was thinking this, the panel changed.

【Preacher L (upgradeable)】

[Your deliberate remarks are inflammatory. Intelligent creatures with lower soul strength than you can be easily persuaded by you as long as they look into your eyes and talk to you, which is likely to trigger a brainwashing effect (can be upgraded by the number of uses and persuasion times)]

So this is what being gifted means... a MLM genius.

With such a talent, even if he couldn't contract a heroic spirit, he could become a gigolo prodigy by working as a gigolo in a gigolo club, right? He would surely be able to get people to open a bottle of wine for him to boost his sales by just saying a few words... If he could sell tens of millions of bottles a day, he would become the Peppa Pig of a gigolo club, and it would be just a matter of time before he became the top night king.

Wu Ci thought this casually and clicked on another talent that looked useless.

【Ordinary person l (upgradeable)】

[Because you have no way out and are often forced, as an ordinary person, you have strong adaptability and learning ability, and you are almost omnipotent in order to survive during the escape. You are good at using the brain's overclocking calculations and all factors around you to achieve your goals, and you can even use a pencil to cause various natural disasters and man-made disasters to kill people without limit.]

Wu Ci lowered his head and touched the old pencil he carried with him as evidence, and then touched his empty head after hunger slowed down his movements.

Hiss——my head is itchy, as if it needs to grow a brain!

What kind of gift is "ordinary man"? There is no basis for this, it must be a rumor and slander from a previous life. Because he always carries a pencil with him to plan his escape route, the program team said he was a pencil killer and even designated pencils as prohibited items. As a result, all the evidence of his becoming a heroic spirit was a pencil, and the column of Noble Phantasm was also a ridiculous 2H pencil...

Another column is the awakening level of the Heroic Spirits. Each Heroic Spirit will be initialized after being summoned. Their abilities and memories are incomplete and only remain at the initial stage. They need to rely on the large amount of spiritual energy in the "Spirit Stone" to awaken and regain the power and memory of their complete form.

Wu Ci didn't care about the problem of being initialized, not remembering specific memories, and having incomplete abilities.

His only unclear memories were of the details of his escape after being tortured in prison, but he generally knew the direction of his escape. Not knowing the details would prevent him from collapsing due to excessive pain or losing the will to live.

As for the incomplete ability, it is even more unnecessary. His later memories are so rough that one can see the end at a glance, and there is no existence of any strange power.

Wu Ci was very sure that he was just an ordinary person...his talent was so inexplicable that it was obvious that he was just a fake who was born out of false rumors.

Ignoring his own useless talent, Wu Ci sat down on the bed to save energy. After groping for a long time, he finally figured out the function of the simulator.

In the Dark Star World's Exorcist system, an Exorcist with high compatibility and good luck can summon various heroic spirits of different time periods through vouchers of different time periods.

A necromancer with average or low compatibility will most likely not be able to summon a necromancer. One can only use money and power to try to obtain a higher-level certificate to try to summon the necromancer. If one certificate doesn't work, try another.

There is also an unspoken rule that applies only to Europeans and wealthy people. If you want to draw a specific hero, you can use related items that the hero has used or held as evidence to increase your metaphysical probability.

Therefore, those spiritual and famous items such as ancient jade, precious swords, official seals, calligraphy and paintings are sold at sky-high prices, and buyers who successfully purchase them by relying on power may also face assassination and robbery.

However, the "legend simulator" on Wu Ci is completely different from the spirit-control system in the Dark Star World.

The "Legend Simulator" does not summon heroic spirits, but uses vouchers as anchors to put the consciousness of the witch words themselves into the history that existed in the long river of time, and randomly possesses a life form related to the voucher for simulation.

Just like The Sims, live your life from beginning to end, accomplish great things, leave a legend, and become a hero.

Wu Ci is a heroic spirit and cannot make a contract with other heroic spirits. So if he becomes a heroic spirit himself, can't he make a contract with himself?

Moreover, the other heroes in the Dark Star Spirit Guardian system have their own thoughts. Although the rules prohibit them from harming the Spirit Guardian who provides them with energy for action, they are not bound to obey the Spirit Guardian's orders. They may even try to attack and kill the Spirit Guardian within the limits of the rules, so the Spirit Guardian must build a good relationship with them.

When encountering an unruly heroic spirit, the spirit-controller has to persuade him with sweet words like a bootlicker.

When you encounter something that is inconsistent with the Heroic Spirit's ideals, the Heroic Spirit can terminate the contract with you directly because it is unhappy with you, and return to the river of time to replace the next Necromancer.

A bad-tempered Heroic Spirit may even kill or torture his own Spirit Guardian during the short period of time between the termination of the contract and his return to the river of time.

However, Wuci, the heroic spirit created by the "Legend Simulator", is not like this.

By then, he will summon himself, and the heroic spirit's body will be controlled by his own spirit. It will never have its own thoughts like other heroic spirits, rebelliously refuse his orders, or disobey his orders in public. His safety and orders will be absolutely guaranteed.

Moreover, the "Legend Simulator" can simulate multiple times according to the residual energy in the voucher. In other words, the witch can simulate life multiple times, make multiple attempts and choices, and then capture the best experience to summon the strongest hero.

This cheat code is simply an invincible plug-in. If this were a game, the strongest other players would only be the European emperors and the kryptonians who draw cards, but he could directly use his authority as an administrator to change data.

This kind of thing is shocking and if people get to know about it, Wu Ci will definitely not end well.

After all, people are compared, and we should never underestimate people's bad nature. If people feel unfair, jealousy and greed will burn everything.

So this matter must not be discovered by anyone.

Wu Ci set his next goal. He must simulate a heroic spirit before the deadline of the spiritualist exam tomorrow to successfully become a formal spiritualist, avoid being caught and made into a miner, and not be discovered by anyone.

He raised the evidence in his hand and looked at the subtitles displayed above it.

【Qianchao Certificate】

[Number of simulations: six]

[Simulation Mode: Distracted Simulation/Personal Descendant]

【Please select...】

To be on the safe side, Wu Ci chose "distraction simulation".

[You have chosen "Division Simulation". The simulation will temporarily consume the soul strength. You can "Add Souls" during the simulation to provide special gains for the simulated identity, or directly consume all souls to "Descend in True Form"]

[You can only consume your own soul strength in each simulation. After consumption, your real body will lose soul control and enter a deep coma.]

[The soul will return immediately after the simulation ends]

【Do you want to start simulation? 】

Wu Ci stood up and listened to the sounds outside the bedroom. After confirming that the black cat that had been closing the door was still, he said, "Begin."

[This soul strength: 1/10]
