Chapter 4: Backtracking, Nightmares
Is this in a dream, or in that dream.
Luo Ning opened his eyes and saw everything in front of him, and he knew that he was back to the dream he had had had so many times.
He looked at the figures and trees in front of him, the place he had been in the depths of his memory for eighteen years.
It's like a huge ink painting, but it's all pure white like mist, and it's still steaming and dissipating.
A chaotic noise began to emerge around the area, and everything came to life. He felt that his world was magnifying dramatically, and at the same time he was being picked up, and the world around him was beginning to take on color, and it became chaotic and noisy.
Fights, quarrels, screams and cries, vehicles rushing and braking, objects falling and colliding, busy sounds on the radio, the whole world is in chaos.
Luo Ning looked up at the time on the next giant screen.
Sure enough, it's still here.
He was picked up in front of a supermarket.
Luo Ning was carried and ran forward, rushing towards the road, and the outside looked even more chaotic.
Luo Ning stared at the crimson clouds that were already visible to the naked eye not far away, constantly rushing forward. Like a monstrous flood, and like a sandstorm. It's just that the color has changed to red.
Suffocation, at the moment when the red mist hit his face, Luo Ning felt a feeling of suffocation like drowning.
And the feeling of bumps gradually disappeared, he was slowly put down, Luo Ning looked at this figure who picked himself up and ran, and was now lying on the ground. He couldn't see clearly, he didn't feel it, he didn't know this person.
The suffocating feeling was gone, and Luo Ning was standing in the fog, and the sound of people falling to the ground could still be heard all around.
That moment is called the end of the world.
It was also the beginning of a change in the world.
September 12, 2030
By the way, it seems to be the Mid-Autumn Festival.
We also have such a festival over there.
The surrounding fog began to turn white, and Luo Ning felt as if he had flown into the sky, and it was not fog around him, but clouds.
Like the clouds on that mountain......
A cloud at his feet in front of him gradually disappeared, and Luo Ning saw the world full of war below, and at this moment he felt like a god, looking down on all beings.
That's what happened in books and videos.
Since the red fog swept the whole world, the following year or so, there have been various natural disasters that cannot be forewarned, such as monstrous floods, volcanic eruptions, meteorites falling from the sky, cracking of the earth's surface, and mountain growth......
And the war between the awakened and the ordinary people also broke out in depression and despair, the year is 2033, and the awakened finally can't stand the differential treatment of ordinary people against them, and ordinary people can't accept the existence of these monsters one by one.
After the red mist, the world ushered in another destruction.
It's just that both sides shook hands and made peace in the end, just like experiencing a grievance, and complaining to each other until friends who have fists and kicks are added, and it will be good to fight.
The picture begins to change again, and humans realize that the world no longer belongs to them, even if one of them can awaken.
At the end of 2035, on the eve of the establishment of Hualong Fortress, the surviving animals finally began to attack humans, with infinite power and strange abilities, some of which can be called monsters!
A real youkai!
The only remaining people began to stop searching, and in the midst of continuous struggle, they built their own fortress, which was named Hualong.
On the first day of the construction of the Hualong Fortress, the first announcement sounded in the city: We may be the last human ......
Luo Ning had searched for many events, and he wanted to know why he had suddenly appeared in this world, and he wanted to know if he could leave.
The picture in front of him finally stopped and dissipated into a cloud, Luo Ning raised his head, quietly waiting for a little red to appear above his head.
Like a drop of water, it falls into the clouds, and then the whole cloud is dyed red, and then there is a drowning suffocation.
At this point, the dream will wake up.
But this time, just when Luo Ning tilted his head slightly, closed his eyes and waited for the dream to wake up, a breeze hit, it was the fragrance of osmanthus flowers!
Luo Ning suddenly opened his eyes, the sky was clear between heaven and earth, and the dazzling morning sun stood in the sky!
He looked around, and it was ...... Mountain Temple?!
I looked at my hands, and it was no longer a four-year-old child, but the eighteen-year-old self!
Under the osmanthus tree, Luo Ning saw the master sleeping on the stone table!
He was stunned! Is he back again? Is he finally back?!
He ran to the master's side and called softly, "Master, master......"
"You stinky boy! Do you dare to disturb the master's sleep just after sitting second in the world? Do you think I can't beat you? Yes, I can't beat you! You wait, wait for your senior brother to come back next time, I have to let him give you two slaps!"
Luo Ning looked at this drunken old man, but his sleepy eyes were hazy, and suddenly burst into tears: "Master......"
"Go to the town and get some wine for the teacher! Remember to bring a roast chicken back! Go and ......."
Luo Ning took the wine gourd thrown over, and grinned with tears, this is the master!
But just as he turned around and was about to leave, he suddenly saw a flash of black lightning, or a crack, a crack in this world......
It's all fake, or is it a dream......
Luo Ning squeezed the gourd in his hand and turned around slowly. The master is still there, but he has stood up at this moment, looking at himself expressionlessly.
The gourd turned into a white mist in his hands and scattered into the air......
He watched as the master gradually turned into a cloud and finally into a drop of water. His expression was reflected in the water droplets, and he seemed to be a little stunned, a little reasonable, and a little reluctant.
And in the trance, there seemed to be a sigh. The droplets of water slowly rose until they merged with the sun in the sky.
He looked up at the droplet, the crimson color gradually appeared, was the white mist finally about to change?
Luo Ning took a deep breath and sat up suddenly! The fog around him was still the same as before, but it had turned a faint yellow, and the coolness and pain from his right arm told him that he was back to that sixteen-year-old age.
He stood up with his arms folded and looked up.
The yellowish mist did not fall from above, but slowly seeped out from the ground.
It's the earth element?!The pulse bracelet on his wrist also glows brightly yellow.
Luo Ning looked up at the hovering water droplet in the air, it was like a crystal ball in the pale yellow mist, and it did not emit any light.
This is the Spirit Sea?!
But he didn't have time to think about it, because he felt the earth element in his body and the Dao rhyme that he had finally condensed, and it was frantically scattered in the air, merging with the earth element emanating from the ground and rising into the air!
Luo Ning immediately condensed a brick with his left hand!
But before the bricks had risen much higher, they dissipated.
At the same time, a black lightning bolt appeared on the water droplet, slashing towards Luo Ning!
Luo Ning: ...
Luo Ning was awakened by a piercing pain, and the white ceiling was surrounded by the sound of instruments operating, and he looked around, and the smell of medicine in the air told him that it was in the hospital.
The dream finally woke up!
Luo Ning was lying on the bed, surrounded by a curtain, and the pain that pierced his heart just now did not appear, although his right arm was tied with gauze, he didn't feel any pain.
Luo Ning sat up, pulled out the infusion tube, and removed the gauze in one go, and it was as good as ever!
"You're awake!"
The curtain was opened, and Li Xinru, who also had gauze tied to her right arm, walked in.
Luo Ning looked at the gauze tied to Li Xinru's right arm, and immediately felt a little embarrassed, and then looked at the gauze that had been removed by himself, and he felt even more embarrassed......
Why should I demolish it? Can anyone tell me why should I demolish it?!
Li Xinru also looked at Luo Ning's right arm: "You... Are you alright?"
"Hmmm......"
Luo Ning was silent......
"Heh, where are you from?"
Luo Ning: ???Or in a dream??
Li Xinru pulled a chair from behind and sat down: "There is no such person as you in the Four Great Sects, but you, a D-class awakened person, were able to survive the blow of a B-class companion, and the price was only a broken arm, and now, it is already well." So, who are you? Where do you come from?"
Luo Ning: "...... I saved your life!"
Li Xinru: "Thank you! So, who are you, where are you from, or a certain sect?"
Luo Ning: "Hmm...... I don't know what you're talking about, anyway, can I go?"
Li Xinru looked at the young man in front of her, her brows furrowed, "Of course, you can leave at any time!" After speaking, she got up and pulled out her chair and walked away first!
Isn't it inexplicably wonderful? I'm still your life-saving benefactor! Although I don't need you to repay the favor or anything, what's the matter with your attitude as an interrogator? The Four Major Sects? Why should you talk to me? Although I have not been here for a long time, I have heard of the sects! Do you want to become an immortal? You can give me that black lightning! Someone wants to cross the catastrophe!
Luo Ning changed into his clothes and sneered at the same time......
At the same time, not far from the Hualong Fortress, in a room underground.
"I don't know who it is, with a masked face, a bare right arm, and a "super boy" written on his clothes"
The young man who punched Luo Ning was on one knee with his head bowed, and behind him, the black figure was standing.
"Oh, that's what it means...... Super boy?heh, it's really capable......"
