What comes into view is a simple wooden table with several bottles of beer and several plates of barbecue on it.
My clothes are intact, and there are no condiments all over my body.
The mobile phone is placed on the stand.
A concert is playing on the screen.
The cute girl group members wore black stockings and short skirts and danced youthfully.
"I'm back...I'm really back..."
Wu Xiaode murmured.
This is the small shop downstairs of my home.
This shop not only serves barbecue, but also stir-fries some side dishes. I often come here for toothpaste.
Outside the store is a small alley surrounded by residential buildings.
——But when he died, he was obviously fighting with others, so why did he return to the barbecue stall?
Wu Xiaode stretched out his hand and swiped on the screen.
The song and dance was scratched away, and the time on the screen was displayed instead.
06:09.
——At 6:09 in the evening.
What happens next?
He recalled it carefully in his mind.
In chronological order, next, your phone will immediately receive a piece of news from across the entire network.
Half a minute later, the boss will come over with ten skewers of grilled crispy bones and put them on his plate.
I hadn't taken a few bites when I saw my neighbor sister upstairs hurriedly walking into the alley, followed by a few gangsters.
Those gangsters pestered her and took advantage of her.
This sister is very familiar with me and can be said to be someone who grew up with me.
Of course I couldn't stand it, so I stepped forward, said a few words, and started fighting with the gangsters.
Originally it was just a small thing.
Unexpectedly, in the chaos, he was stabbed into the heart from behind with a fruit knife.
Because of this sword, he entered the cave of death.
Wu Xiaode looked at the time on the phone screen and fell into deep thought.
If you really go back to before everything happened, then the first thing that will happen next is——
Urgent news.
He stared at the phone screen and waited quietly.
One breath.
Two breaths.
Three breaths.
Suddenly, numerous messages popped up on the screen of the mobile phone from various software:
"An undersea earthquake occurred in the Western Ocean, with a magnitude of eight. It is expected that this earthquake will trigger a tsunami, and the countries affected are..."
"This is the fifth earthquake of magnitude 8 or above this month!"
"The drone captured a strange scene, which was a bit blurry."
"The most advanced robots will go deep into the seabed after the earthquake to conduct situation exploration."
"Relevant scientific research work is being carried out in full swing."
"In order to ensure the safety of coastal cities, the military has been dispatched."
It is indeed urgent news!
Wu Xiaode looked through it for a while, then turned to look at the barbecue stall owner.
The boss came over with ten skewers of crispy bones, put them on his plate, and said, "Xiao Wu, eat them while they're hot."
Wu Xiaode looked at the dinner plate silently, waited for a few seconds, then looked up towards the entrance of the alley.
A slim, long-haired beauty hurriedly walked into the alley, followed by a few idle young men.
"Beauty, please add me as a friend."
"Yes, why bother running here so fast? You can't outrun us in high heels."
"Haha, the beauty has such a good figure."
Several young men joked and pestered her.
Everything is right.
Wu Xiaode held his breath and quietly observed everything happening around him.
It seems that I have really gone back to a few minutes ago and everything has happened again.
That is to say——
You can make new choices yourself.
In this way, being stabbed to death will not happen, and you will not be transported into the Death Cave as a mortal person.
New options…
Wu Xiaode's eyes flickered and fell on the woman.
I couldn't stand it at the time, so I said a few more words, and those gangsters rushed up and started fighting with me.
So.
It must not be like this this time.
Wu Xiaode made a decision in his heart, lowered his eyes and sat still on the chair.
The woman couldn't be entangled. She looked frightened and said loudly: "What do you want to do? I have already called the police!"
She walked faster and faster, and was about to pass the barbecue stall.
"Hahaha, beauty, you didn't take out your phone, how did you call the police?" A young man said with a smile.
Another young man glanced at the barbecue stall and shouted at several customers: "Look at what you are doing and eat your food."
Those customers immediately avoided the eyes of the gangsters.
Wu Xiaode never raised his head, looking afraid of trouble, but he did not attract the attention of the gangsters.
finally.
The gangsters surrounded the girl, walked past the barbecue stall and walked deeper into the alley.
The girl screamed, but a gangster covered her mouth.
…
It's safe!
Wu Xiaode breathed out gently.
For the sake of his life, and in order not to enter that horrible place again, he silently lowered his head and looked at the barbecue and beer in front of him, acting as if he didn't dare to show his face. As expected, he didn't attract the attention of the gangsters.
real.
You are so stupid.
Why do you have to stand up and reason with these gangsters?
It's not worth being stabbed once.
so.
Now it’s time to expand on the correct approach.
He waited for another breath, then suddenly grabbed a beer bottle in each hand, stood up quietly, quickly followed the gangsters, and raised the beer bottles in his hands with all his strength.
Boom! Boom!
The crisp sound spread throughout the alley.
After returning from the Devil's Cave of Death, Wu Xiaode no longer had any scruples, and directly dealt a ruthless blow without saving any effort.
The two gangsters who were attacked immediately fell to the ground, groaning in pain.
Several other gangsters just turned around, only to see that Wu Xiaode had picked up a chair and hit another gangster on the head.
Blood splatters.
The leader of the gangster was furious and shouted: "You kid——"
Wu Xiaode ignored him at all and kicked the other young man who rushed towards him out of the way.
The leader of the gangster took a look at his martial arts and took out a fruit knife from his pocket and said with a fierce face:
"Young student, if you don't study hard, how dare you fight in the street?"
When Wu Xiaode saw the fruit knife, he felt all the blood in his body rush to his head.
It's you.
It turns out you were the one who stabbed me in the back!
Generally, gangsters who fight on the streets all year round know their way around and know one truth -
If you win, you will go to jail; if you lose, you will be hospitalized.
Therefore, everyone usually does not make a killing move, but fights back and forth for a few rounds before stopping, saying harsh words to each other, and ending the dispute.
Wu Xiaode has been fighting for many years, and he knows the key to it. He can basically avoid doing anything without taking action.
If they really want to fight, they will just pull the collar, push each other, grab each other's arms, and just make a fuss, for fear of causing problems.
——If you really beat someone up and cause problems, it is not worthwhile to pay compensation or go to jail.
What else could happen?
The police came very quickly.
So Wu Xiaode thought it was just a fight, helping his neighbor's sister to get out of the way, and they started fighting.
Unless someone is going to die, no one would use the knife.
Now that the other party has shown his sword——
Wu Xiaode turned around and ran away without saying a word.
"Stop!"
"Brat!"
The gangsters shouted and chased after him.
Wu Xiaode just kept running and ran into the barbecue stall. He picked up a meat cleaver from the kitchen chopping board and a fish carving knife from the fish basin. He turned around——
"You want to die?"
He looked at the few gangsters chasing in and asked softly.
The gangsters originally chased in aggressively, but they found out that the kid was not running away.
He's here to get equipment!
For a moment, the gangsters all froze.
Wu Xiaode didn't care about this, he raised his knife and slashed at the gangsters.
A bunch of rubbish!
It's you who caused me to encounter such horrible things!
You're going to die, right?
Come on!
All die!!!
The meat cleaver passed in front of a gangster and cut a long gash in his coat.
Wu Xiaode took a step forward, straightened up the fish-cutting knife in his hand, and looked at the opponent's belly with cold eyes.
The place is narrow, and if this knife were to penetrate it, it would not be a fish.
"This kid is serious!"
"Killed!"
The gangsters turned around and ran outside.
Wu Xiaode followed and chased him out, shouting: "A bunch of rubbish, don't run away if you have the guts!"
The gangsters scattered.
Only the gangster holding a fruit knife walked towards him step by step.
"Help! Call the police!" a woman screamed.
"Don't do it!"
"Killing people!"
People around shouted.
Even the gangsters became nervous.
"Student boy, you are looking for death." The gangster boss sneered, holding a fruit knife and stabbing Wu Xiaode.
Without even looking at the fruit knife in his hand, Wu Xiaode went straight up to him, replaced it with a meat cleaver, and stabbed the opponent hard in the chest.
The gangster boss can't stab him anymore.
——The blade of a fruit knife is only about 8 centimeters, and the blade of a meat cleaver is more than 20 centimeters.
Before he stabbed the student boy, the student boy could stab him through!
The gangster boss couldn't help but jumped away suddenly.
He distanced himself, waved his knife and cursed:
"Your mother--"
Without saying a word, I suddenly realized that something was wrong.
Wu Xiaode stabbed the air with his knife. The fish-cutting knife in his backhand had already shrunk back, and he rushed towards him.
Seeing that the fish-cutting knife was hidden behind his back, he gathered enough strength in his hand to raise the knife in the wind, staring at his neck with his red eyes.
This knife is meant to behead you.
The gangster leader couldn't help but feel a chill in his back, and took a few steps back.
Wu Xiaode didn't care whether he was advancing or retreating, and shouted sternly:
"Come on, let's die together!"
Before he finished speaking, he rushed forward with two knives, even if he knocked over a few tables along the way. He kept the knife in his hand raised, just waiting to chop it down when he got in front of the gangster.
——This kid really wants to kill someone.
For a moment, this idea came to the minds of the gangsters.
Although the gangsters are fierce, they have been fighting on the streets for many years, and after all, they know one thing -
Sometimes the younger you are, the more dangerous it is to fight.
Because he didn't consider the consequences.
When encountering such stupid young people, the police dare not take action easily. They can only wait for them to regain their senses, go to court when they should, and shoot them when they need to.
"Damn, this is a lunatic!"
The gangster boss put away the fruit knife, turned around and ran wildly out of the alley.
When the other gangsters saw him, they immediately followed him.
Wu Xiaode chased him to the entrance of the alley, but found that he really couldn't catch up. Then he put away the two knives out of breath and turned around.
The neighbor's sister stood in the middle of the road and looked at him with a complicated expression.
"Xiao Wu." She shouted.
"As long as they dare to pester you again, I will kill them." Wu Xiaode waved his hand to indicate to the neighbor lady not to worry.
The neighbor's sister pulled him to the side of the road and whispered: "You don't have to be like this, it was so dangerous just now."
Danger!
The dangers I have experienced are much more terrifying than this.
Seven days later——
Wu Xiaode shook his head, stopped his thoughts, and felt that he had to talk, so he said:
"Sister, we grew up together, there is no need to say these things."
Xia Huilan shook her head and said: "It's too dangerous."
"Do you want me to watch others bully you?" Wu Xiaode adjusted his expression and grinned.
Xia Huilan was about twenty years old, while Wu Xiaode was only seventeen years old. Xia Huilan touched his head and said, "I will be more vigilant next time."
"Yes, you must learn to protect yourself." Wu Xiaode said seriously.
Xia Huilan looked at him, her eyes softening.
Without warning -
An illusory lamp suddenly appeared in the void.
The moment the lamp appeared, there was a loud "bang" sound, and then quickly turned into a blazing starburst.
No one around, including Xia Huilan, saw this vision.
Wu Xiaode was startled.
Isn't this the ability of the Book of the Dead?
What is it doing out of nowhere at this time?
Just as he was thinking about it, he saw the starlight quickly scattering into countless light spots and disappearing into the Book of the Dead.
The pages of the book opened automatically, revealing lines of small words exuding a breath of ice:
"Congratulations!"
"You have gained Xia Huilan's recognition and appreciation."
"Current recognition level: two stars (the limit for ordinary people)."
"This book has resonated with Xia Huilan and will randomly extract valuable things from her."
"Xia Huilan is just an ordinary person. The most valuable thing is knowledge and skills."
