Chapter 2 Team Running System Book
The Principality of Cartesia, Gloria County, Diroud District.
"It hurts, it hurts."
The trance dream was shattered, and a young man woke up in the room.
Diego's first thought after waking up was that the pain was unbearable.
The pain from his head and chest made him gasp.
"ah"
Straightening up his body, Diago shook his head, touched his head and chest with his hands a few times, but there were no wounds, no weird horns, no brain holes, and no looking in the mirror. Seeing things like brains.
In a daze, he groped around with his hands and propped up his body.
My mind is a little messed up.
When you open your eyes, the sight gradually becomes clear as far as you can see.
In the slightly gloomy room, a huge bookshelf that was slightly decayed and light brown took up the entire wall of the room, occupying most of his field of vision.
A metal grid lamp in the shape of a lantern hangs on the wall near the ceiling on the right side of the bookshelf wall, flickering from time to time.
Below it is a wall mirror with a silver-gray frame.
Diego was able to see his own appearance in the mirror.
It was the same as Che Ka's appearance when he was pinched. He looked about 1.8 meters tall. He was not a strong and ordinary figure. Against the background of the close-fitting white shirt, although it was not obvious, there were still muscular lines.
In terms of face, if you look at it from the aesthetics of Europeans and Americans, it is probably handsome, but from the aesthetics of Diego and Asians, it is just a little handsome or ordinary, at least Diego doesn’t think he is very handsome. , The short black hair has a strange bleaching feeling, the color is slightly lighter, the face contour is darker, the pupils are silvery gray, the complexion is pale, and it seems a little weak.
Although not as good as the original him, he can still make do with it.
Standing up, Diego's gaze turned to the lower right of the grid light, far away from the bookshelf wall, was a row of coat racks with hooks.
A tuxedo and a top hat are hanging on it, and a pair of clean white gloves are on the far left.
Opposite the wall of bookshelves, in front of the coat rack, is a desk.
There are more than a dozen books and a notebook in a mess on the table, and a silver-gray pocket watch with a buckle chain is opening, showing a dense clock face with 36 numbers.
Opposite the coat rack is the door.
On the side of the door, near the bookshelf wall, there is a small bed, which seems to be temporary.
At this time, Diego was sitting on the ground, beside him were a few scattered books, and next to him was a fallen chair.
Lifting the chair up, Diego looked at the old table with rotten corners.
".This import scene, am I stacking blocks with books on the table or something?"
While complaining in his heart, Diago picked up the book beside him, looked at the title of the book on it, and tried to put it back on the shelf.
Halfway through the action, he suddenly froze.
Raising his hand, he could see that there was a shallow scratch on his right wrist, as if the skin had been worn out. This was not important. What was important was that what flowed from the wound was not The bright red blood in the impression was actually silvery blood.
From the wound to the upper arm, the shallow veins that appeared from the skin were not the blue-green color of the veins, but a hazy silver-gray.
Indistinctly, there seemed to be some faint blue light spots.
Silver-gray liquid was flowing from his wound.
Diego looked at the wound with a little surprise. If it is correct, this should be the talent he got when he got stuck.
He rarely plays fantasy virtual reality games. In most games that pursue a sense of reality, this phenomenon is almost impossible.
While feeling the novelty, Diego focused his attention on the cover of the book.
The text above is a phonetic alphabet similar to the Latin alphabet and the Arabic alphabet.
When Diego turned his gaze to the text, a phantom page appeared next to the letters, with Chinese subtitles appearing on it:
["Qualities a Qualified Gentleman Should Possess" - by Gogar Konstantin Blaunos]
The subtitles are not real, at least he didn't touch them when he reached out.
Flipping through it casually, Diego saw a comment that was probably written in a pen on one of the pages:
"Oh how can there be such an idiot that a gentleman should smoke in front of a lady in order to show his style? Hope your mom doesn't kick your ass! Stupid!"
"Translation accent" Diego raised his eyebrows, "For my sake, don't hurt my eyes anymore, okay? Dear subtitle."
He really didn't expect that this wizard sequence would deliberately produce such a translated text.
Although I don't know much about it, there is no doubt that the production company is domestic. Normal Chinese people would not produce this style of writing, whether speaking or writing. If it appeared, it was undoubtedly intentional.
After complaining, Diego returned his attention to the handwritten notes.
The handwriting looks like it has been around for a long time and has become somewhat blurred.
It was not blurred when it was first written, but after it was firmly printed on the book, the handwriting was worn out due to frequent use.
Not only is this handwriting probably written with a pen, but the printed handwriting has also become blurred.
Flipping through it, Diego suddenly realized something was wrong.
Although there are Chinese subtitles, the problem is that he can understand these letters directly.
? ? ?
How is it possible, he should have seen these letters for the first time
Diago, who still thought he was in the game, just like in other virtual reality games, whispered the system in his heart, trying to call out the menu bar.
And in the next moment, the menu bar also emerged with his will——
A huge, illusory book appeared in his mind, and as the pages of the book were turned, a complete list of character attributes emerged:

After scanning it all over, Yago was a little surprised to find that all the skills in [General Skills] had turned gray.
And there is no option to quit the game.
? ? ?
Is something wrong?
Diego went back and forth and turned it on and off a dozen times, but no matter what, he couldn't find the option to exit the game.
In the end what happened?
what's the situation?
Fault? fault? still.
A word that is common to modern people emerged in Diego's mind - "time travel".
However, just as Diego was about to tidy up the situation, his door rang.
tuk tuk -
Diego took a deep breath to calm himself down, and when the second knock on the door sounded, he got up and walked towards the door.
Opening the door that was also decorated in silver-gray, a young woman wearing a white lace nightgown with a graceful figure highlighted by a tunic nightgown appeared in Diego's vision.
He looked about twenty-five or sixteen years old, and as for his appearance, he had the same silver-gray pupils and long silver-gray hair as he does now, no matter how he looked, he didn't look like a normal person.
Of course, from the perspective of Diego's worldview, he hasn't figured out whether this appearance is normal in this world that he hasn't fully understood yet.
However, with such an appearance, Diego can be sure that the other party is his sister in this role.
Because, some memories appeared in his mind.
"Elsa, I don't think you should knock on my door at this hour."
Diego subconsciously said this sentence.
When he said this, Diego frowned.
A language he hadn't learned, a language with a pronunciation similar to English, French, and German, and even a large tongue sound similar to Russian.
This language, which he can guarantee is the first time he heard, came out of his mouth fluently, and he also had a contradictory cognition——
He has been speaking the language since childhood.
Below his line of sight, simplified Chinese subtitles, like movie subtitles, appeared at the same time.
Two completely different memories were confused in Diego's mind, making Diego's face a little ugly.
At the same time, the memory that emerged in his mind tumbling again.
It was about the woman in front of him, Elsa Clauredo Fast, his sister's memory.
Although I care about him very much, sometimes I do very inexplicable things. I always ask him to dye his hair inexplicably, tell him not to get close to something, stay away from something and so on.
The usual behavior is also a little neurotic.
In the middle of the night, he would sneak out of his door and stop for a while.
The sudden emergence of these memories that did not belong to him but belonged to this body made Diego's frown deepen.
"Of course, Diego, I don't want to disturb you at this hour, but I heard voices."
Seeing Diego's reaction and his ugly face, Elsa panicked a little. She never expected that although she knew that Diego had some opinions on her, she rarely showed such an attitude.
She explained somewhat flusteredly:
"If it bothers you, I can leave now."
While saying this, her nose suddenly twitched, as if she smelled something, and then, as she spoke, her voice stopped abruptly, and her silver-gray beautiful pupils stared straight at him, The voice becomes high-pitched:
"Are you bleeding!?"
She was very emotional, she stretched out her hands, grabbed Diego's wrist, and forcibly pulled Diago's hand over, revealing the bruised wound.
And, there was a struggling look on her face.
Well, it's like wanting to eat when you're hungry but trying not to eat.
Her abnormal reaction made Diego also startled.
However, in his mind, there was an idea of "here it is again".
It seems that such a reaction from her has become commonplace.
ps: The system framework comes from coc, but it has been modified by magic and mixed with a lot of private house rules.
