Start with a red name

Chapter 1: Midsummer Rainy Night
Midsummer, rainy night.

Inside the small room.

"Dah!"

A long sword cut through the void and stabbed into a man's forehead.

The man's body swayed, then fell straight back and turned into a fresh corpse.

There were light footsteps, and a young man in a brocade robe approached. His eyes fell on the sharp blade held tightly in the corpse's left hand, with a sinister look in his eyes.

"You don't know what's good or bad!"

He spat fiercely at the corpse, drew his sword and put it back into its sheath, stepped over the corpse, and began to search through all the drawers and cabinets in the house, without even looking at the corpse on the ground.

What he didn't know was that a bead appeared out of nowhere and fell into the sword wound on the corpse's forehead, sinking into it and the fatal sword wound healed silently.

……

"Hey, I'm not dead!"

The memory of the previous moment was still stuck on being hit in the face by a dump truck. Geng Xuan never thought that he would wake up again.

But soon, he realized something was wrong. He was neither in the hospital nor in bed, but lying straight on the ground.

As soon as Geng Xuan's doubts arose, they were washed away by the surge of unfamiliar memories.

"I crossed over."

"I'm going to be screwed again."

The imminent crisis suppressed all the surging emotions in Geng Xuan's heart, and all his thoughts were focused on the present moment.

Geng Xuan lay straight on the ground, maintaining the same posture as his predecessor when he died.

Hold your breath, prick up your ears, and listen carefully.

"Rumble--"

At this moment, a loud thunder came from the sky. Geng Xuan even felt the earth shaking. The curtain of reality was suddenly opened.

The rumble of thunder from the sky;
The sound of wind and rain outside the house;
And the footsteps that seemed to ring in my ears, the sound of rummaging through boxes...

All these sounds entered his ears.

What happened to his previous incarnation tonight naturally emerged in Geng Xuan's mind.

……

Because of the rain and thunder at night, the former body, who was already a light sleeper, was awakened by the sound of the door bolt breaking. He quickly got out of bed and grabbed the guillotine under the pillow tightly in his hand.

With a flash of lightning, a young man in brocade robes walked into the room calmly, closed the door with his backhand, and said to the guarded predecessor, "
"Relax, don't be nervous. As long as you cooperate and honestly take out the "Running Dog Chapter", I will ensure that you will be fine!"

The predecessor said slowly: "I don't understand what you are saying...please leave!"

The young man in brocade robe, who was originally smiling, suddenly looked sinister: "You... don't understand what I'm saying?!"

As he spoke, he looked forward at the cutting knife tightly held in his left hand.

"Put down the knife and talk nicely."

The person in front of him didn't listen, but instead gripped the knife tighter and assumed an attacking stance.

The next moment, a cold snort was heard in front of him, and a cold light flashed. When he reacted again, a long sword had already pierced deeply into his forehead, killing him instantly.

……

That flash of cold light made Geng Xuan feel cold in his heart.

It felt like the sword thrown casually by the young man in brocade robe took away his own life.

This made Geng Xuan realize how big the gap in strength was between his predecessor and the young man in brocade robes. Not to mention his own.

And this murderer is now in the same room with him, rummaging through drawers and cabinets everywhere in the room, making all kinds of noise, and he may notice his abnormality at any time.

Geng Xuan knew that his current situation was very dangerous.

Lying on the ground and pretending to be dead may seem like an option, but it is actually a trap. If you covet this false security, the situation will only make you more and more passive.

"Even if there is danger, we must take the initiative to take action, and the sooner the better!"

Geng Xuan clenched the sharp blade in his hand and had this realization in his heart.

The hard and cold touch of the cutting knife made him feel more at ease.

Just as Geng Xuan's thoughts were focused on this knife, the memory of the cutting knife from his previous life emerged in his mind.

It is about 40 centimeters long, with a slightly narrow blade and a natural curvature. The sharp tip is edged on both sides, and the back of the blade is very wide, which can be used for chopping and smashing.

Because of the care and proper maintenance of its predecessor, the knife was in excellent condition. Moreover, perhaps it was the instinct of his body, but Geng Xuan only needed a little familiarity to use the knife before he could use it as easily as with his own arm.

Listening to the noise made by the young man in brocade robe, combined with his previous incarnation's memories of the layout of the house, after weighing the pros and cons, Geng Xuan slowly opened his eyes.

After adjusting to the dim environment in the room and being able to see things vaguely, Geng Xuan kept his body still and just turned his eyes in the direction of the sound.

Soon, Geng Xuan found his target.

Just three or four meters away from him, a figure squatted on the ground with his back to him, using his hands as a shovel to quickly dig at the flat and compacted earth ground. Geng Xuan's eyes were calm, which was not much different from what he had expected.

But in the next moment, Geng Xuan's eyes almost popped out of his head.

Above the head of the young man in brocade robe, there was a ball of red mist. In the dim room, it was as bright and dazzling as a firefly in the dark night.

"What the hell?"

This strange scene reminded Geng Xuan of the red names in the game, which made his mind surge and he even doubted the reality of this world.

At this time, the young man in brocade robe who had been squatting on the ground and digging for a while seemed to have discovered something. He leaned over and stretched out his hand, reaching into the pit he had dug, with his butt raised high, facing Geng Xuan's direction.

"Boom!!!"

Another loud thunder roared from the sky, and the lightning that arrived first made the house instantly bright as day.

This fleeting light allowed Geng Xuan to make the final adjustment and made up his mind. No matter what the "red name" was, it was always right to solve the current problem first.

"good chance!"

While the thunderous sound in the sky had not yet completely dissipated, Geng Xuan suddenly moved.

He was as still as a corpse one moment, and as agile as a rabbit the next.

In an instant, Geng Xuan, whose hands, feet and even his entire body were exerting strength, was like a spring that had accumulated energy to the extreme, and shot out with a "whoosh".

At the moment of exerting force, Geng Xuan had already turned his body from facing upward to facing downward.

In the blink of an eye, he had crossed a distance of four meters, swooping forward like a four-legged lizard and slammed into the young man.

The cutting knife in his hand, guided by the double-edged tip, stabbed hard to the bottom.

After being hit by the opponent, the young man fell forward and his head sank right into the pit he had dug with his own hands.

"Who... um——"

The young man opened his mouth to shout, but before he could say a word, he was hit hard on the head by the flying dirt, and his open mouth was filled with dirt.

The next moment, his eyes, which were already wide open, suddenly widened even further, and cracks appeared at the corners of his eyes.

Everything happened too fast, and he only realized belatedly that his body had been pierced by a hard, sharp, cold weapon.

The blow came too fast and too hard, and even the body couldn't react for a while.

By the time he realized and understood how badly he had been hurt, the sharp weapon had already been pulled out and stabbed to the bottom for the second time.

Painful despair.

The canthus of the eyes is about to split.

He wanted to get out of this situation, desperately, but he was lying in the hole that he had dug with his own hands, in the most difficult position.

What made him even more desperate was that the perpetrator was pressing him tightly from behind, and any struggle or resistance he made was immediately eliminated by the other party.

And the hurt never stops.

Every time he tried to muster up his courage, it was shattered by this rapid and decisive movement.

“Ah… wu——”

His neck twisted wildly until the corner of his mouth was torn and he let out a shrill scream.

But in the next moment, a hand reached out from behind him and covered his mouth tightly.

……

Geng Xuan felt like he was riding on the back of a mad bull and had to try his best to prevent himself from falling off the "bull's back".

This made him extremely nervous.

What made Geng Xuan feel a little relieved was that as the guillotine in his hand went in and out of the opponent's body frantically, the resistance of "The Bull" was rapidly weakening.

By the time he finally screamed, he was already at the end of his strength.

This was also the reason why Geng Xuan dared to put his hand over his mouth. Otherwise, he would rather the other party make a bigger noise before he could make sure that he would not be thrown off his back.

When the young man under him was as still as a dead dog, Geng Xuan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Only then did he realize that he was sweating all over and was almost exhausted.

Although the whole process was extremely short and the thundering sound in the sky had not even completely dissipated, Geng Xuan had almost drained all the strength from his body.

Seeing that the young man's body was still twitching slightly instinctively and was not completely dead, Geng Xuan stepped forward with his knife, ready to put an end to him once and for all.

"Clap clap-"

Suddenly, a rhythmic knock on the door was heard.
