Zhou Bai is a recent graduate and currently works in sales in a company.
I get up at 6 a.m. and spend an hour commuting. By the time I get home from work, it’s already 9 p.m.
Usually at this time, Zhou Bai would come to the convenience store downstairs to buy dinner.
As the store closes at this time, the convenience store will offer a 30% discount on dinner, which is just right for Zhou Bai.
But today, Zhou Bai’s dinner was ruined.
Yellow warning tape surrounded the convenience store, and federal police in black uniforms came in and out of the convenience store.
"What happened?"
Zhou Bai grabbed a nearby spectator and asked.
"It is said that there was a terrorist attack! What a tragedy, when the police went in, they did not find the whole body of the convenience store owner."
Another terrorist attack?
Zhou Bai let go of his hand and frowned.
Because he works in sales, Zhou Bai comes into contact with a wider range of people.
He has heard complaints from customers more than once that terrorist attacks have occurred nearby.
If I remember correctly, today is probably the ninth time he has known about it.
Maybe, I should change my life somewhere else.
Zhou Bai thought to himself.
Zhou Bai doesn't have much burden for moving.
Zhou Bai has been an orphan since he was a child. He relied on financial aid and federal loans to complete his studies.
There is nothing worthy of nostalgia for his current job.
"Well, Lao Li inherited his father's garage in Leicester, so let's go there."
Zhou Bai is a decisive person and made a decision immediately.
Without continuing to watch, Zhou Bai returned to the single room he rented and skillfully opened a bucket of instant noodles.
Taking advantage of the instant noodles, Zhou Bai took out his mobile phone and started to contact the landlord.
"Hello, I'm Zhou Bai, the tenant of Room 603, Lihua Building. I won't be renting it next month. Please come and hand it over tomorrow."
After waiting for a moment, an OK gesture appeared on the phone screen.
Zhou Bai turned off the screen and put the phone back into his trouser pocket.
I don’t know if it was because the trouser pocket was too tight, but Zhou Bai thrust in a few times, and his left elbow accidentally hit the instant noodles on the edge of the table.
"Oops!"
The moment his elbow touched the instant noodles, Zhou Bai's heart skipped a beat and he yelled. The terrifying scene of a mess was already in his mind.
At this moment, a pure white arm emerged from Zhou Bai's left arm and steadily caught the tilted instant noodles.
After pushing it back to its original position, the pure white arm disappeared.
When Zhou Bai looked up in despair, the instant noodles were still quietly placed on the table.
"Hey, is it my imagination?"
Zhou Bai touched the back of his head, feeling a little strange.
Lin Yuan also felt very strange.
Because he is possessing Zhou Bai's body.
This is a wonderful feeling.
Just like two objects can overlap because they are in different spaces.
But the relationship between Lin Yuan and Zhou Bai is much more complicated than this.
Lin Yuan could feel that there was an invisible thread connecting them.
A steady stream of power was transmitted from Zhou Bai's body to him.
"I can feel that my current body is much stronger than in reality. And it is still getting stronger!"
Lin Yuan was shocked. This meant that as long as he ensured his safety, he could lie down and keep getting stronger.
This time travel is too easy.
"After my observation during this period, I found that Zhou Bai is just an ordinary person. Then there is something wrong with this world!"
"So, I just need to ensure Zhou Bai's safety and avoid the strange places in the world."
Lin Yuan quickly formulated his own method of action in this world.
Lin Yuan lay dormant in Zhou Bai's body, watching Zhou Bai eat instant noodles, and began to think about another question.
How to activate his golden finger this time?
Lin Yuan felt a headache as he looked at the information in his mind.
[Cheap Finger: Swallowed]
There is no other explanation, and I don’t know what “swallowing” is.
He is simply a gangster, worse than a gangster. The only thing more painful than not having money is having money but not being able to spend it.
Time passed in confusion and pain.
Zhou Bai took out his briefcase and put his resignation letter and other materials into categories.
The lights were still brightly lit downstairs. Zhou Bai drew the curtains and was getting ready to sleep.
Suddenly, he saw an illusory black figure standing on the roof of the convenience store.
As if aware of Zhou Bai's observation, the figure raised his head and grinned an exaggerated smile.
Zhou Bai was shocked, and when he blinked again, the roof of the convenience store was empty again.
"Is it another illusion? Is it because I'm too tired from work recently?"
Zhou Bai took a few deep breaths, closed the curtains, and lay down on the bed.
"No matter what, I have to move as soon as possible."
Somehow, Zhou Bai felt that there was a danger spreading under the calm appearance of Shi Ming City.
Zhou Bai fell into sleep.
It's extremely quiet all around.
Suddenly, a finger emerged from Zhou Bai's fingers, followed by his palm and arm.
Finally, as if his soul had left his body, Lin Yuan held his hands and separated from Zhou Bai's body.
Silently, Lin Yuan was like a ghost, walking down from the bed.
"I slept so well. Fortunately I didn't snore."
Lin Yuan pinched Zhou Bai's cheek and confirmed again that Zhou Bai was just an ordinary person.
There is a mirror beside the bed. In the mirror, Lin Yuan is all pure white and is a head taller than Zhou Bai.
He is wearing strange armor and has a hollow crown on his head. He looks majestic and domineering.
Lin Yuan tried walking around and found that his body would become weaker after leaving Zhou Bai. The farther away he was, the stronger the feeling of weakness.
After rough estimation, 10 meters is the limit distance. As for what will happen if it is exceeded, Lin Yuan doesn’t know.
After all, the single room Zhou Bai rented was only 5 meters long.
Lin Yuan curiously experimented with his new body. The power of his will was elusive, but he seemed to have experienced the joy of his soul.
"Without flesh and blood, virtual reality changes, but it's a pity that it can't fly."
Lin Yuan found that he could even grab the rubber and put it into a hard wall. Or he could take out the filament from the light bulb without damaging it.
Just when Lin Yuan was having a great time, a strange feeling came to Lin Yuan's heart.
It's as if you are enjoying delicious food and someone comes with malicious intentions from a distance.
"This feeling is like the front door!"
Lin Yuan walked out of the pillar in the room, looked back towards the door, and found that there were many black threads getting in through the crack in the door.
"What on earth are these things?"
Lin Yuan stepped forward and grabbed all the black silk, and instantly felt a sticky and disgusting feeling in his hands.
The black silk thread was like a living thing, twisting in Lin Yuan's hand, constantly touching the skin of Lin Yuan's hand, and then bouncing back.
"Eh, that's really disgusting. Huh?"
Lin Yuan was about to throw away the black silk stockings, when suddenly, the "swallowing" in his mind lit up.
"Bring it to you!"
Lin Yuan suddenly became excited, grabbed the black silk stockings tighter, and rolled them up like a tractor crank.
