Chapter 1 About the things the killer found himself mutated after crossing over
City No. 36.
The night is like a cloth and the neon lights are like fire.
In the center of the city, tall buildings tower into the sky, and electronic fireworks are shot from the roofs of the tall buildings.
Colorful light tore through the black sky and flashed into the floor-to-ceiling bay window on the 25th floor of Building 7 of Shangxuan Apartment Community in the east of the city.
In front of the window, Wang Jun was leaning on the rocking chair, his eyes dull.
The cascading fireworks were reflected in his eyes, but he showed no reaction, as quiet as if he was dead.
I don’t know how much time passed, but Wang Jun’s empty eyes began to glow.
He leaned forward suddenly, gasping for air as if he had never breathed before.
"where am I?"
Wang Jun's head hurt and he couldn't help but squint his eyes.
More than ten seconds later, he murmured: "Human Federation...City 36...Red Umbrella Company...Researcher..."
He touched his back with his backhand, but there was no stab wound into his spleen.
"There is such a thing as time travel."
Wang Jun shook his head, feeling hard to describe.
The past passes by like a black and white film.
Double speed, quadruple speed, eight times speed...
Living in a peaceful era, he has a profession that is different from ordinary people - a killer.
Accept commissions through the dark web, specializing in killing those capitalists who are rich and unkind, or the rich and powerful of the evil side.
There are many ways to kill people, but they are rarely done with guns and knives. Most of them end in unexpected ways.
Occasionally, he is responsible for another way of death - the collapse of personality and social death.
His abilities are so strong that before he is thirty, his total number of tasks has already reached the retirement limit for ordinary killers.
Wang Jun wanted to retire early, but of course the organization was unwilling to let him go, so they simply acted secretly.
"That's fine, murderers will always be killed..."
Wang Jun laughed easily. Anyway, he was an orphan since he was a child and was picked up by the organization for training.
There are no friends in that world, so there is no need to care.
Death is the end of everything.
"Huh~~~"
Exhaling a breath, Wang Jun moved his butt back to make his sitting position more comfortable.
At this time, his eyes wandered outside the window, and colorful revolving lantern images flashed in his mind.
From birth to adulthood...
"It's the same name, but it's also Wang Jun. It's pretty good. It saves me the trouble of getting used to it."
Wang Jun tilted his neck back slightly and tapped his temples with his index finger to distract from the discomfort caused by the churning in his mind.
The two memories are suddenly mixed together, and it will take some time to sort them out.
The world here is more technologically advanced, roughly equivalent to the previous life more than two hundred years later.
There are many novelties, but a few deserve special attention:
Rich and powerful people all desire to live a long life and live a high-quality life.
They want to still have the bodies of young adults when they are one hundred years old. Some extremists even put forward the absurd concept of "the flesh and blood are weak and the machine ascends".
After all, extremists are in the minority, and the sects they establish are like rats in the gutter, ungentlemanly.
However, there is another giant company that no one can ignore. Its name is Red Umbrella Company. All major chaebols jointly invest in it and mainly develop biotechnology, genetic technology, and extraordinary substances.
Wang Jun's current identity is a researcher under the company.
His parents died young, and he received funding from foundations affiliated with the company since childhood until he finished college.
After graduation, I joined the company and worked for more than two years. I worked hard and was finally transferred to the "Lingyun Ecology" project team.
This is one of the company's core projects, mainly responsible for researching a type of bioenergy called 'Life Spirit'.
Project manager Chen Yangmei once said: "As long as we find out the secret of the aura of life, we can unlock the mystery of immortality."
Three days ago, an accident occurred in the project and a series of explosions occurred in the laboratory.
Chen Yangmei died on the spot, all research data was missing, and most of the experimental materials were destroyed.
All survivors experienced certain physical changes, and the project was terminated.
"Mutation?" Wang Jun stood up and checked his body.
After finally reviving his life, he didn't want to belch immediately, let alone feel any strangeness in his body.
The light was too dim for inspection, so he called out: "Ayao, turn on the lights and close the curtains."
"Okay, as you wish." A gentle female voice echoed in the air.
The overhead lights lit up instantly and the curtains slowly closed.
The virtual image of a beautiful woman stood respectfully beside Wang Jun.
She is in a short black silk skirt, has a great figure, and a beautiful face.
Unfortunately, it is not a real person and has no entity.
She is just a housekeeper-style artificial intelligence, model: virtual type three.
The name Ayao was given by Wang Jun.
"Thank you." Wang Jun replied.
Ayao smiled, which was quite helpful.
Wang Jun was not comfortable with it because he knew that Ayao could respond and it was also programmed.
"You go and rest, I'll just stay alone."
"Okay, dear." Ayao winked, turned into a beam of light, and disappeared.
"Cough cough cough..." Wang Jun covered his mouth, he was speechless.
What happened to the predecessor?
Even if I've been lonely for too long, I won't be hungry for an artificial intelligence.
The next second, fragments of memory drifted by quietly.
Virtual link technology, artificial intelligence and human spirit can be linked in a local area network, and then some indescribable beautiful things can be done.
And the effect is outstanding, and the experience is almost the same as using a real gun.
"Well, if technology is developed, it can be used for this."
Wang Jun lamented his lack of imagination and immediately focused his attention.
There was a long mirror placed in the corner. He walked over and saw what he looked like at the moment.
He has short black hair, clear facial lines, three-dimensional and angular facial features, and obsidian pupils like vortexes in the starry sky.
Handsome, but a little too handsome.
Wang Jun was not satisfied. His handsome appearance attracted too much attention and was not in line with his professional habits in his previous life.
Then he took off his clothes and looked in the mirror naked.
No changes in the body were detected, but the body shape was clearly visible.
The chest muscles are solid, the abdominal muscles are eight-pack, and there is no fat on the inner thighs. The unicorn arms are powerful but not thick. They are streamlined and relatively beautiful. The main shortcoming is that the back muscles are not exercised enough and there is no drawing effect, let alone the bat muscles.
"It's barely enough, but I still need to exercise more."
Wang Jun glanced at the clothes on the ground and wanted to put them on again, but after thinking about it, he decided to take a shower and change into new clothes.
The bathtub in the bathroom was filled with water of a suitable temperature. Wang Jun soaked in it, closed his eyes and rested his mind.
"The project was stopped, the researcher's body changed..."
"But there's obviously nothing wrong with my health."
"Is the conclusion of the company's investigation report incorrect?"
"Or did I not notice any changes?"
Wang Jun slid his fingers across the water and suddenly felt something wasn't right.
His body sank downwards and squeezed inward, as if it was fused.
Wang Jun opened his eyes suddenly, and the hands that came into view were translucent water color.
Σ(⊙▽⊙”a, shocked!
When I looked down, I saw that my body had completely merged with the water, and there was no difference.
Wang Jun was horrified, what the hell is going on?
Wow~~~
The sound of splashing water sounded, Wang Jun stood up and opened the shower curtain.
The mirror in front of the washstand clearly reflected his current appearance.
The head and half of the neck remained normal, while the other parts turned into transparent water.
"Is this a mutation?" Wang Jun twitched the corner of his mouth, "It's so damn outrageous!"
I wanted to take a relaxing bath, but I was shocked.
Wang Jun said nothing and left the bathtub directly.
30 seconds after getting out of the bathtub, his body began to return to normal, and the total recovery time was about 1 minute.
After changing into pajamas, Wang Jun came to the living room, sat on the chair where he first woke up, and looked out the window.
The 25-story high-rise building overlooks the street, and pedestrians are like ants, unable to see clearly.
Looking up to the sky, you can see the patrol airship high in the sky.
The whole body is pure white and full of mechanical texture, which is particularly conspicuous in the night.
36 ‘Falcon 9’ cannons are pointed at the ground and can carry out strikes accurate to centimeters at any time.
The manufacturer of the airship is Red Umbrella Company.
"A giant company involved in the military industry..."
Wang Jun's eyes were dark, staring at the conspicuous red umbrella logo on the airship.
Now he is no longer the young man he was before, but an expert in creating accidents and proficient in killing.
He realized that there was a big problem with the way Red Umbrella Company was handled.
The ‘Lingyun Ecology’ project team is an important project at the T1 level of the company.
When a major accident occurred, talents should have been immediately dispatched from other cities to reorganize the project team.
But the project team was directly disbanded, which is unreasonable.
Secondly, the more than 30 surviving researchers have more or less physical mutations. The degree of danger of the mutations is unknown, but the company did not gather them all together. Instead, they let them go home alone. This is very abnormal.
In the end, the R&D director and the core scientific research team all died, and there was no backup of the research data, which is impossible.
The progress of the experiment is recorded in the core server and is automatically backed up every half hour.
All research data is lost, and the only possibility is manual deletion, and the deleter has extremely high authority.
Wang Jun deduced carefully and felt that the matter was not a simple accident, but more like a deliberate plan.
"Who can delete backup data in advance? Who can blow up the laboratory?"
He felt that the truth was hidden behind the answers to these two questions.
Wang Jun held the water cup in his hand and kept shaking it, causing the water in the cup to form a mini vortex.
Wang Jun seemed to see the center of the incident through a mini whirlpool.
Chen Yangmei is a legend in the scientific research community. The company gives him extremely high authority.
If anyone can delete backup data, it is him.
But there's no point in doing this, right? After all, he's already dead.
Chen Yangmei's death was in full public view, and Wang Jun was a witness.
At that time, the condensed crystal of the soul of life exploded, emitting pure white glow, and instantly tore Chen Yangmei's body to pieces, not even a scream was left, and not a single hair was left.
The core researcher was too close to the explosion and was also affected and turned into nothingness.
The peripheral researchers were far away, and the company's protective measures were in place, so only a few unlucky ones died.
Wang Jun spread his fingers and touched the fingertips of his hands, remembering the important memory scene:
He joined the project team for too short a time and is considered a newcomer among newcomers.
When the incident happened, I was staying in the edge corner of the laboratory, sorting out the paper documents that had just been printed.
During the explosion, a flaky object shot through his left eye.
Yes, I must have been blind in my left eye at that time.
But it was restored before the accident investigation.
The reason is currently unknown.
Out of survival instinct, my predecessor kept it secret and did not report it.
Red Umbrella Company is not a good company and it was right not to report it.
Wang Jun silently praised his predecessor from the bottom of his heart.
"The company's behavior is very confusing. Roughly thinking about it, there are two possibilities."
"First, the survivors are all guinea pigs, and sending everyone home is just another observation experiment."
"Second, the company suspects there is something wrong with the survivors and is investigating them one by one."
"There may be both possibilities, otherwise there is no way to explain why the company has idled more than 30 researchers and refused to allow them to participate in other projects."
At this time, I felt a tingling sensation in my left eyeball.
Wang Jun blinked, and light blue fluorescence appeared on his retina, outlining a large area of binary digits.
010101011101……
Immediately afterwards, the numbers gathered like twists and turned into a tree diagram with text next to the picture.
[Evolutionary tree belongs to: Wang Jun]
[Life level: normal]
[Aura of life: 7/10 (cannot be returned to 0, if returned to 0, you will die)]
[Aura attribute: water]
[Current status: liquefaction mutation, easily soluble in water]
[Solution: Pay 1 point of life aura, and you can query it once]
[Extraordinary ability:-(not turned on)-]
[Extraordinary progress: 5%]
[Evolution path: Not opened (it will be opened step by step when the extraordinary progress reaches 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100%)]
"Evolutionary tree..."
Wang Jun realized clearly that he did not bring this thing with him through time travel.
It was the flake that shot into his left eyeball during the explosion in the laboratory.
The main body of the sheet is a memory card, which contains all the data of the soul of life.
The explosion of the concentrated crystal caused a mutation in the memory card, causing Wang Jun to mutate. The two mutations superimposed on each other, causing him to inherit the data in the card and see the evolutionary trees of different life forms.
At the same time, Wang Jun understood the specific meaning of the aura of life.
The aura of life is the cornerstone and symbol of life's existence.
Every living thing must have the aura of life.
Thinking about it conversely, as long as you have the aura of life, regardless of whether you have a physical form or not, you are the real life.
Wang Jun complained: "This statement is weird and gloomy, as if it admits that ghosts are also a form of life..."
At this time, Wang Jun drank a glass of water, and the sound of water could be heard clearly.
He lowered his head and touched it, and his chest was a little moist.
He lifted up his collar and took a look. The glass of water that had entered his throat was flowing downwards. Wherever he passed, the fur, flesh, flesh, and bones... all turned into transparent water.
Wang Jun shouted: "Good guy, it shouldn't be so easy to dissolve in water!"
He rolled his eyes slightly and immediately paid 1 point of Life Aura to inquire about the solution.
A feeling of weakness enveloped Wang Jun and lasted for three seconds.
Solutions are given in text next to the tree diagram.
[Solution (1)]: Avoid contact with water at all times.
Especially when going to the toilet, be sure not to get sucked into the toilet.
[Solution (2)]: Return to normal body.
Extraordinary materials are required: 3 fire mimosa plants, 50 grams of fire stone, 10 grams of fire gold...
[Solution (3)]: Complete extraordinary evolution.
Touch more water, drink more water, drain more water, let yourself become water, realize the true meaning of water, and control water.
Seeing the first set of plans, Wang Jun raised his middle finger and said, "Fuck you."
As for the second option, extraordinary materials are more expensive.
Speaking of fire gold alone, 1 gram is equivalent to approximately 50,000 federal coins.
After deducting taxes from his monthly salary, Wang Jun received almost 5,000 federal dollars.
He had to go without eating or drinking for ten months to save 1 gram of money.
Wang Jun waved his hand calmly: "Relying on money accumulation, no challenge, no choice."
Finally, his eyes fell on the third plan, and he nodded:
"It's just you, it seems more scientific."
After finishing his words, Wang Jun stood up and walked to the bathroom.
[The author has something to say]
