When Shi Sheng woke up, she found herself still lying on a sand dune. The sand had almost buried her.
[Host, please speak properly. Don't do such a dangerous thing just because of a disagreement. Did Mu Bai possess you?]
Shi Sheng touched her neck. The blood had already dried.
She calmly patted the sand off her face and sat up on the hot sand dune. "I told you nicely. You didn't listen."
[…] You call that being nice? You're threatening me! [I can't give you the item. The system store can't be opened. But I can help you rewind it manually. The time is not stable. You might not see it.]
Shi Sheng raised her eyebrows.
The system didn't care if she listened or not. It directly projected a holographic image into the void.
It was also a sand dune, but there was no one in the image. The image kept flashing. Then, a figure staggered into the image. She seemed to be exhausted. When she reached the sand dune, she collapsed.
She held a white magic staff in her hand. It looked like it was made of some kind of bone. There were some patterns engraved on it. The top of the staff was a half-moon with a skull embedded in it.
The flames in the skull weren't blue. Instead, they were blue with a hint of purple.
The sandstorm and the heatwave buried her body, and she fell to the ground, motionless.
The scene was fast-forwarded by the System until the four Mages who were wrapped so tightly that not even a strand of hair could be seen. When they saw the staff, the four of them recognized Gentle String. They first observed her from the outside, and when they saw that she was injured, they immediately attacked her.
She was seriously injured, but the four mages were at their peak. She was no match for them and was killed by them.
When She Xian fell to the ground, a gust of sand came from afar. When the sand passed, She Xian also fell to the ground. The magic staff that was supposed to be in her hand was gone.
The magic staff was stolen right under the noses of the four mages.
This was just a rewind image. Shi Sheng couldn't see how it was stolen.
She thought about the space ring that the original owner was chasing. If the original owner was the protagonist, it wouldn't be strange for her to have a space that could store her.
As long as she hid in the space and waited for the right time, it would be easy for her to steal things without anyone noticing.
Otherwise, why would people say that the spatial ring was a must-have item for traveling, murder, arson, and disposing of corpses?
The image was still flickering until she left the sand dune. A shadow suddenly appeared on the sand dune, looking in the direction she had left.
"Tsk, see, I told you there's a retard!"
[…] Motherf * cker, he's sick.
The System retracted the holographic image, went silent, and pretended to be dead, ignoring Shi Sheng.
It didn't want to talk to a psychopath. It would become a psychopath.
…
Shi Sheng didn't know where the man had gone, so he decided to find a place to rest first.
The only place to rest nearby was the city that could be seen from the sand dune.
Most of the netherworld was made up of sandstone like this.
Heat, yellow sand, danger.
These three words were the representative words of the netherworld.
Cities of different sizes were distributed in the Undead World. Some were controlled by mages, while others were occupied by undead armies. Therefore, it was common for these cities to change owners.
Perhaps the mages were in charge yesterday, and the undead army would be in charge tomorrow.
This city was called the City of Ten Thousand Bones. It was previously occupied by the undead army, and was only recently conquered by the mages. At this time, it was still in the integration stage, so the inspection was a little strict.
The mages here were all wrapped up tightly, and nothing could be seen. Naturally, the inspection was to check their abilities as a mage.
Shi Sheng used to be wrapped in a similar robe, and it was red. She tore it off because it was too hot.
When she got closer to the city, she realized that it was too eye-catching, so she was even more determined not to wear the black robe.
When the inspection saw that she wasn't wearing the black robe, he didn't say anything and let her in.
Shi Sheng: "…" WTF??
Did not wearing the black robe have the effect of invisibility?
Obviously not.
Shi Sheng only realized that many people in the city were not wrapped in the black robe when she entered the city. She searched through the memories of the original owner, and realized that these people were ordinary people.
No matter what species, there would always be a survival of the fittest. These people were ordinary people who couldn't use necromancers. They could only rely on the mages and ask for their protection.
These people were the most inferior in the undead world. Fortunately, they didn't have to fight in a group fight, but when the mages couldn't protect themselves, these people could only be the stepping stones of the undead army.
Shi Sheng walked around the street, and many people looked at her, most of them were looking at her clothes and appearance. She didn't care, and found a shop that looked like an inn and went in.
"Miss, do you want to stay?" The tanned young man standing behind the counter immediately put on a standard smile, "Our shop is the best in the City of Ten Thousand Bones. We guarantee that you will be comfortable and won't lose out."
After saying that, the young man was stunned. What a beautiful girl …
The black embroidered dress wrapped around her curvaceous body, and on top of it was a light colored waistcoat, which added a bit of playfulness to her mature look. There were tassels at the bottom of the waistcoat, which swayed beautifully as she walked.
Probably because it was too hot, her sleeves were rolled up to her elbows, revealing her fair skin. That delicate skin was not something an ordinary person could have. Just looking at her arm was enough to make people's hearts ripple.
She probably couldn't be found in the entire City of Ten Thousand Bones.
But then the young man showed sympathy. Unfortunately, she was an ordinary person.
"Stay."
"Okay." The young man quickly came back to his senses and handed her a wooden card, "I'll take you there."
The houses in the City of Ten Thousand Bones only had one floor, and they were all built with rocks and sand. It was easy to imagine that the conditions were not good.
The young man took Shi Sheng to the room, "Miss, rest well … If there's nothing, don't go out on the street, lest you get into trouble."
The young man kindly reminded her. With her appearance, if she went out on the street, who knew how many people would want to snatch her back.
Ordinary people like them were liked by mages. It was both fortunate and unfortunate.
Especially girls, when a mage got tired of playing with them, they would pass them on to another mage. It was difficult to explain.
Shi Sheng slightly nodded and said in a cold voice, "Mm, thank you."
The young man shook his head and left. It was a pity that someone was thinking about her when she came in just now.
Shi Sheng rested in the room, and the young man brought in some water and food.
The netherworld had a serious shortage of water, so there was only a small bowl of water, the kind that was slightly murky.
Fortunately, Shi Sheng had the foresight to prepare a lot of mineral water in the space, so there was no need to worry about water shortage.

Little Fairy: The water shortage has been very serious recently. I need to replenish my water to recover my vitality.
Cherub: Please speak human language. Oh, you don't have to say it. It must be asking for votes.
Little Fairy: (shy)
Cherub: … What are you shy about?
Little Fairy: You know me so well, you must have fallen in love with me. Of course I'm shy.
Cherub: Love? On?
System: Report, there are people driving here, arrest them all!
System Owner: Disconnected, report failed, go home to play mahjong. We need one more person, do you want to come?
System: … Haha, you disconnected because we need one more person, right?
System Owner: (shy)
