[My name is Xu Ye. I died of sudden heart pain three days ago due to congenital heart disease. I was eighteen years old. 】
【Well? I'm alive again?】
[I am very confused now, where is this? My brain tells me that I should look around, and I start to walk. At this moment, the micro-monitor on my chest explodes, and I die again.]
[I realized one thing before I died. My brain is the stupidest. If there is another life, I have to listen to my heart.]
"???"
Xu Ye stood on a deserted street with some confusion.
His right hand was on his heart.
There was no heartbeat, but it was moving strangely, and a series of messages appeared in his mind.
My heart seems to be "talking".
What the hell?
At this moment, he felt a sharp pain in his head, as if there were two souls pulling at him.
Large and small ghost images and countless lights and darkness flashed before my eyes, and my mind was constantly filled with chaotic pictures.
The busy modern metropolis and the floating city are intertwined, the ICU ward and the white laboratory switch back and forth, and the kind people suddenly become aristocrats...
Until the throbbing pain ended, Xu Ye probably understood that he should have traveled through time.
Three days ago, Floating City discovered an illegal human body laboratory. When their people arrived, everyone in the laboratory was dead.
All experimental data are deleted.
However, only the original owner of Xu Ye's body was still alive.
This is an extremely dangerous world.
Because the way of heaven is unstable and full of pollution, distortion and evil, it can easily lead to the distortion of various rules, which will then affect time and space, the body and psychology of living things, and produce indescribable changes.
The Floating City was not sure whether Xu Ye was contaminated, so it decided to conduct a test on him before giving him a final judgment.
Xu Ye patted his head with the palm of his hand. His memory was like sifting flour and pouring out some more.
"Everyone will die except you..."
At the end of the memory, there are what Dr. Chen said to himself.
That day, the torrential rain was like the roar of hungry wolves. At the moment when thunder exploded and lightning suddenly fell, everyone in the laboratory took a pistol and shot each of them in the temple.
Mass suicide.
When Xu Ye blinked, this momentary scene appeared on his retina, and an inexplicable fear surged into his brain.
Xu Ye staggered in his steps and almost tripped over himself.
calm down……
He took a deep breath and reluctantly turned his attention to his surroundings.
This is a long and narrow street, full of poles with advertisements, and densely packed wires intertwined into a large grid overhead, splitting up the somewhat dim sky.
The housing density is very high, but there is no one nearby.
This is very abnormal.
At this moment, Xu Ye's heart began to beat again.
[I believed what my heart said and did not act foolishly, so I survived.]
[I now want to complete the test as soon as possible to prove that I am a normal person. I subconsciously looked straight ahead. This house was cold and something was wrong. I seemed to have remembered the mission.]
[An aunt in this house is kind-hearted and likes to adopt stray dogs. However, three days ago, a stray dog was contaminated and transformed into a mutant, killing the aunt, causing the nearby heaven to be distorted, with a distortion level of 1%.
】
[My mission was to investigate the cause of the pollution incident. The incident occurred on the 18th floor. Half an hour later, my head was bitten off and I died. Fortunately, I subconsciously protected my little heart. 】
[A useless thing like the brain will be gone if it is gone.]
Dead again?
Xu Ye's face turned dark.
But he was still a little shocked when he felt his heart trembling again.
My heart seems to have undergone some strange evolution, and has the function of simulating the future.
While he was stunned and confused, he vaguely knew that there seemed to be something abnormal in this world.
Pollution incidents, distortion of heaven, aberrations...
All are new terms, and the specific concepts are unknown.
But obviously, according to the current situation, he has to complete this task, survive, and then find a way to travel back.
In the original world, although he was ill, he still had his parents, little sister, relatives, classmates, best friends... and the college life he was about to start...
He must go back!
Xu Ye strode in.
This is a house with a somewhat dated feel. Most of the cement on the walls has peeled off. When you push the door open, the rusty iron door makes a heart-wrenching creaking sound.
The surroundings were dark, without lights, and smelled of fermented feces and urine.
The door of the corridor blocked out the wind outside, and the only sound left was Xu Ye's own breathing.
"Pets and battery cars are not allowed."
Xu Ye glanced at the paper posted on the elevator door and pressed the elevator button.
[I was a little lazy and chose to take the elevator, and the elevator started to rise...]
[One floor, two floors...eighteenth floor...The elevator arrived, but for some reason, the elevator door malfunctioned and could not be opened. I think it was because it was in disrepair, which is reasonable.]
[At this moment, the lights in the elevator dimmed for a second. At that moment, I saw a blurry figure with its back to me appearing in the mirror behind me. 】
[It pinched me in the mirror and broke my neck, and I died in reality. 】
[It turns out that the distortion of the way of heaven is not subject to materialism, but the degree of distortion of the way of heaven is only 1%. How can the phenomenon of the spirit in the mirror occur? This is very unreasonable. 】
【But it's too late to say anything now, I hope there is no elevator in heaven.】
"Ding!"
The elevator has arrived.
The elevator door slowly opened, and dim light came out. The wall in the middle of the elevator was a mirror, facing Xu Ye.
The young man in the mirror was wearing linen clothes, his face was pale, his facial features were profound, and his black pupils shrank in an instant.
"...Actually, it's good to exercise occasionally, haha."
Xu Ye silently closed the elevator, turned around and walked towards the stairs.
He would rather face the aberrations than the weirdness in the elevator.
…
Floating city, in a certain conference room.
Ten noble judges sat in a row. Each of them wore a small piece of bronze jewelry on their face, either covering half of their eyes, or covering their forehead, chin, or cheeks.
The style of the jewelry is also quite mysterious, with spiral patterns engraved on it.
Directly in front of the conference room were eight large screens, observing Xu Ye's performance from all directions.
This time the situation is somewhat special.
The person in charge of that illegal laboratory is Dr. Chen, an extremely mysterious guy who is said to have lived for hundreds of years. It is even rumored that he holds the secrets of the world.
But at this moment, one of the fat nobles had an expression of disgust in his eyes.
"What is he doing, taking the stairs instead of taking the elevator?"
"Will a normal person climb the 18th floor without any problems? I don't think there is any need to test him. He must have been contaminated in the laboratory before, and his behavior has deviated. It is recommended that he be executed immediately."
"Second." Other nobles agreed.
"This is a very common pollution incident. That deformed stray dog likes to stay in the corridor. Didn't this information be told to him in advance?"
"There is no need to waste time on an experimental subject."
At this moment, a middle-aged man wearing a gentleman's hat who was sitting behind the noble judge stood up and stared at Xu Ye on the screen with a stern face.
There is something special about this young man.
How did he notice something strange in the elevator in advance?
The middle-aged man took out his left hand from his pocket, spread it out, and held a piece of paper in his hand.
The note he got from Xu Ye was in Dr. Chen's handwriting - "He is the light".
The middle-aged man's mouth twitched.
"Testing continues."
"If everything is confirmed to be normal, let him join the Blade of Dawn."
The cold-faced middle-aged man said calmly, and suddenly, a surprised voice sounded in the conference room.
…
At this time, Xu Ye was still climbing the stairs with difficulty.
The stairs were full of dried dog poop, dog hair, and traces of dog claws.
The stifling smell was like an old lady's foot bindings mixed with stinky protein. It made Xu Ye's stomach churn and he almost vomited it out.
He took out the only weapon on his body, the dagger, and held it tightly in his hand.
When Xu Ye climbed to the fourteenth floor, strange roars of "ho ho ho ho kuku kuku" suddenly came from the entire stairwell.
From far to near.
He held his breath for a moment.
[I heard the screams of the aberrations, and I felt a little panicked.]
[I am just a simple time traveler and I have no power to restrain the chicken. But in order not to lose the face of the time traveler, I decided to bend my knees and hit the ground violently with my forehead to shock the opponent. 】
[It’s coming, the roar is getting closer and closer, and the smell of blood is getting stronger and stronger.]
