Player Ten

After Chen Shi closed his eyes, he felt himself enveloped by endless darkness, and his consciousness began to slowly fade. Suddenly, his whole body turned icy cold, as though he had fallen into a bone-chilling pool.

Chen Shi shuddered and snapped his eyes open, only to find himself in complete darkness. He couldn't see anything, but could feel that he was submerged in water. He thought he was already dead, so how had he suddenly ended up in the water? Could this be the Yellow Springs River? Before he could think it through, he began to feel suffocated, then felt as if he was about to choke to death in the water. Only then did Chen Shi remember that he couldn't swim at all. Never mind whether he was in the Yellow Springs River. First, he had to get his head above the water.

After flailing wildly for a while, Chen Shi managed to feel his way to the surface in the dark. Then he realized his storage pouch was still with him. Feeling around in the dark, he took a plank from the pouch and climbed onto it. The instant he got on, Chen Shi froze. This scene felt familiar! This was the opening in the cave! How had he fallen into the Netherworld River again? Wasn't he dead? How had he transmigrated back to twenty days ago? Why had he said "again"?

Dugu Yan looked at Chen Shi and asked, "How many times have you been reborn?"
