I saw a large piece of latex paint falling off the wall of the newly renovated room, and the torn wallpaper was hanging in the air, and fine cracks appeared on the wall at some point, like a spider web.

Cheng Yun's heart sank, and then he turned around and ran.

There is no earthquake now, and it is impossible for Jinguan City to have such a big earthquake, but the wall is simply cracked, but it is not like the hotel renovation company hacked his parents' money, because the wall of this building was built more than ten years ago.

But the wall was cracked, and he shouldn't have stood here anymore anyway. As for the reason, it's not too late to wait and see the situation and find out!

But as soon as he took a step, the ground began to shake violently, and the fine cracks in the walls widened abruptly, and the characteristics of the earthquake began to manifest themselves.

The whole room felt like it was about to be torn apart by a huge amount of energy!

Cheng Yun quickly grabbed the doorknob and twisted it, and then tried hard to open the door, but the bruises on his arms came out, but he couldn't open the door no matter what.

"Hold the grass!"

He cursed angrily, looked back, and found that the walls and ceiling behind him were filled with hideous and terrifying crevices, and in the gaps was a deep black, like an abyss that could devour people. Fragments of wallpaper flew in the air, fluttering one after another, and latex paint and putty powder gargled and fell, as if his end was coming.

Suddenly, there was a loud bang, and a piece of the ceiling fell in front of him, smashing into dust!

"Ahem!"

Cheng Yun still pulled the door hard, exerting all his strength, but the door seemed to be stuck due to the deformation of the wall, and it didn't move.

He finally gave up, and quickly ran to the corner next to him and squatted down with his head in his hands, no longer having the idea of running out.

This is the junction of the second and third floors, and since the earthquake is so strong, I am afraid that the whole building will not be saved. I missed the very beginning, and now running out is like sending me to death.

I only hope that Cheng Yan can survive without danger, and the collapsed ceiling here can form a triangle with the wall, and he will be rescued after a period of starvation.

Suddenly, his eyes widened in shock.

At this time, the whole room was filled with huge gaps, but they did not collapse, and the gaps were pitch black, and nothing could be seen!

His feelings told him that the building hadn't collapsed yet!

Fragments of wallpaper were still flying in the air, but they were fading away, some of the walls were surrounded by cracks, but they seemed to be held up by some force, and the door he had hoped for escape was silently twisted, revealing a hole large enough for him to get out of, but it was evident that the wall was not shattered and pressed against it, and behind the door was still a pitch black with no light to be seen.

"Nourishing ......"

The lights have not been completely extinguished until now.

The room was completely darkened.

Cheng Yun only now realized that the darkness in those gaps before was the darkness that the light could not shine through.

He realized that he might be in a situation he couldn't understand, maybe it was some supernatural event he never believed in, or maybe it was just a dream.

Hopefully it's just a dream.

The darkness didn't last long, and he was probably hit by a falling ceiling, and he lost consciousness with a bang.

********************

It's like closing your eyes and opening them again.

I don't know if it was a moment or how long it was, but there was already light in front of him—

Cheng Yun found himself in a space with no end in sight, like the depths of barren space, and it seemed that he was stepping on a layer of completely transparent glass under his feet, and under the glass was endless darkness, like the top of his head, like the surroundings. There is an oval blue luminous body standing in front of it, which seems to have no substance, it is nothing, and the surface of the luminous body lingers with a faint layer of mist, which is the only light source in this space.

Other than that, not a single speck of dust or a speck of light can be seen. The whole space is only itself and this standing oval luminous object, the dark blue light has no end, there is no object to reflect it, this world is still dark and there is no boundary.

Cheng Yun opened his mouth wide, he should have been thinking nonsense at this moment, but he couldn't have a trace of thought in his heart.

In addition to the shock, there was only a blankness.

This space felt very strange to him, like another world, and like the center of the universe, as if it had already existed when the universe first opened.

What's even more terrifying is that he feels that he has been here since the birth of this space.

There is a ...... The feeling of being one.

Cheng Yun stood in a daze for a long time before he came back to his senses, but he was still very confused - he had no idea what was going on, and he didn't know where he was now. Even if he was far away, he could feel the luminous body, as if he had the same root as it.

"It's ...... What's going on?" Cheng Yun felt that some surreal situation had befallen him.

Then, as if he had known something, he stretched out his hand and made a virtual pull motion beside him, and actually opened a door directly in the void air!

Bright light shimmered through the door, and a carpeted hallway appeared in front of him.

Cheng Yun was stunned again, it turned out to be the hotel staircase.

He immediately stopped thinking about it, ran out as soon as he slipped the smoke, and ran downstairs with a ding-dong clang.

He couldn't care about any changes in his life or adventures! His parents had just died, and he was already very satisfied that he was still alive. If he really died just now, he didn't know how Cheng Yan would live if there was a big girl with a bad personality and a bad temper left in this world.

Running to the façade on the first floor in one breath, he sat on the sofa, looked at the stairs with palpitations, took a few deep breaths, looked around, and then took a glass of water to drink.

The earthquake is obviously fake, it is impossible for the geological structure of Jinguan to have such a large earthquake, all of this is brought about by that space and luminous body. And he still doesn't know what happened.

The luminary couldn't speak, no one told him what it was, and he didn't even know if it was good or bad.

After drinking a glass of water, his heart gradually calmed down.

Judging by his experience, it seems that the probability of something bad is low, but there is no sign of any good.

He took out his phone and glanced at it, and the time showed that it was the next morning, and the signal was full.

Spent the night in a coma.

No phone calls, no text messages.

Cheng Yun couldn't help sighing, he didn't return overnight, that girl didn't even have a word of greeting, is she still not the only dear relative in this world, what about relying on each other?

Just as he mustered up the courage to go upstairs to find out, the phone rang.

Cheng Yan called.

Cheng Yun quickly connected the phone: "Hey?"

"Called you last night and was not in the service area. Cheng Yan's words were as concise and clear as ever.

"I ...... Something went wrong here last night, and I was busy quite late, so I slept in the hotel. Cheng Yun explained, a little embarrassed.

Cheng Yan was silent, didn't ask more, and asked directly: "Do you come back for dinner at noon, do you want to order your takeout?"

“…… There's still food in the fridge, right?"

"Hmm. ”

"Then I'll come back and cook. Cheng Yun looked at the time, it was only half past ten, and it was very close to take a taxi back here.

"Good. ”

After speaking, Cheng Yan hung up the phone.

Cheng Yun put down his phone, shook his head helplessly, stood up and prepared to go out, but he couldn't help but look back, took a deep breath, and felt extremely tired physically and mentally.

Walking out of the door, when he locked the door, he couldn't help but turn back and walk step by step to the outside of the warehouse.

The door was shut, no different from yesterday.

Cheng Yun took a deep breath, reached out to hold the doorknob, and hesitated for a long time before gritting his teeth to open the door.

It was dark inside, and there was no edge in the space, and an oval-shaped luminous body stood silently and lingering.

Cheng Yun swallowed his saliva slightly.

It looks like bed sheets, duvet covers, toiletries and something are going to be bought again!

Just report it to the state.

Soon, he returned home.

Cheng Yan was wearing a pair of light blue denim shorts with a pure white short-sleeved shirt lying on the sofa, the hem of the shirt was tucked into the shorts, a pair of snow-white long legs like jade crossed Erlang's legs, holding a book in his hand and looking at it.

She is 1.7 meters tall, has long legs, good looks, and a high IQ, but she has a cold personality and a bad temper.

Cheng Yun said hello to her, she ignored it, and Cheng Yun didn't care, washed her hands, rummaged in the refrigerator for a while, and then went into the kitchen to start cleaning up.

This house is close to 200 square meters, and it has been about ten years since I bought it. At that time, the cram school run by two professors, Cheng Jianye and An Lan, continued to expand the scale of the off-campus cram school, and the income was very high, and it was quite cheap when they bought this house, but now they are making a lot of money.

Unfortunately, after the national strict investigation, Yizhou University, as a well-known university in the country, quickly responded to the national policy, and the cram school opened by the two professors was forced to close.

Cheng Yun cut the meat one by one, and the kitchen knife collided with the cutting board with a soft sound, and he had no distractions.

It was a special time, and he was so tired that even if something so incredible had just happened, he was too tired to think about it.

If he likes to think more, as long as he stays in this house for more than ten days, any item may evoke the grief of the death of his parents and evoke the memories of the past. He will be stunned for a long time, waste his time, and cannot extricate himself.

Perhaps the saddest thing about the death of a loved one is not the moment of death, but after their body is cremated and the ashes are buried. Later in life, every detail around us may remind us at any time that our loved ones have left us. Every time you come to this time, it is a process of encountering the past, and when you wake up, it is like peeling off flesh and bones.

There was only half a pack of cigarettes on the coffee table, the room where the quilt was neatly folded but no one entered, the green basket on the windowsill that swayed in the wind, the moon season that was just right, and the silence in the middle of the night......

can make people fall into memories.

A shredded ginger pork, a fried phoenix tail, two bowls of rice, two people bowed their heads and ate silently.

When the meal was almost finished, Cheng Yan looked at Cheng Yun with chopsticks, and said coldly after a while: "You are a little absent-minded today!"

Cheng Yun raised his head and looked at her with a frown: "Huh?"

Looking at him who was obviously distracted, Cheng Yan endured his impatience, pursed his lips and said, "I said, you are a little absent-minded today." ”

"Uh......" Cheng Yun was stunned, and then showed a smile of relief, "You can actually see that I am absent-minded, it seems that you have really grown up......"

"Hey!" Cheng Yan rolled his eyes and tapped the bowl with his chopsticks, interrupting him. She thought that this guy was sad and overtired, afraid that he wouldn't be able to get out, so she was ready to patiently comfort him for a word or two!

"Didn't you taste that one of your fried dishes is very salty and the other is very strong in monosodium glutamate?" she pointed to the dish with her chopsticks.

“……”

Cheng Yun stood up and put down his chopsticks, "There's still something going on at the hotel, I'm going to go over and you wash the dishes." ”

He's already decided, and he's going to find out.

"Hmm. Cheng Yan responded coldly, as if he was not at ease, and after a pause, he added, "If you encounter trouble, remember to tell me, if you don't understand, you can also come and ask me." ”

Cheng Yun's face darkened slightly, but he still squeezed out a smile and replied, "You can check the results tonight, right? Also, although I graduated from high school, college doesn't mean slack, no matter which university you are admitted to, you have to study hard, you know?"

This time the cigarette face turned black.

"Can you please not speak to me in such a parental tone?"

"Okay, but please note that I am the elder brother and the younger sister! ”

"Ridiculous, do I need you to worry about it?" Cheng Yan said disdainfully, and then began to clean up the dishes and chopsticks with a black face, with a large range of movements, expressing her inner dissatisfaction.

Indeed, she could also choose to let her grandfather in the countryside be her guardian, but she chose Cheng Yun in the end. Everyone respected her opinion, and the matter was decided. When she made this choice, she thought that one day Cheng Yun would use this to squeeze her, but it wouldn't last long, and in more than half a year, she would officially reach the age of eighteen.

Or if she can prove that she has the ability to be financially independent, she can also get rid of that guy in advance-

This guy was financially independent in his freshman year, and it seems that he made a lot of money in college, so there is no reason why she can't do it.

Cheng Yun returned to the Anju Hotel again and walked into the original warehouse again.

On the way here, he even thought that it was just an illusion, or a dream of his own, maybe when he opened the door again, he would see a new change of bed sheets, quilt covers, toiletries, and sanitary utensils. But the truth is that the space still exists, and the contents of the original warehouse are destined to be re-purchased.

Cheng Yun held the void and closed the door, and then pulled it back out of thin air to reopen it, and so on several times.

"Is it really a big warehouse?"

He muttered in a voice that he could only hear, as if he were afraid that anyone would feel offended if he heard it.

Then he spread his feet and looked down at the void beneath his feet, forcing himself to calm down before boldly walking over and standing in front of the luminous object.

"What the hell are you...... Your Excellency, may I ask for your name?"

"Hello?"

"Power on!"

"System?"

No response!

Then, Cheng Yun used various methods to test this space and luminous body.

There was actually nothing under his feet, and when he squatted down and reached out to touch it, his hand could easily reach down, but when he stepped on it, it was very hard, and he would not fall.

It made him feel very strange.

Compared with 'Xuanhu', he feels more 'science fiction'.

As it seems, the oval, dark blue luminous object is nothing, disembodied, and the strap can be reached in or pulled out intact.

Even your hand can reach in, and most of the time you can't touch anything, but once, Cheng Yun touched it......

Water!

That's right, water, so frightened that he quickly withdrew his hand.

The water smelled unscented, and it seemed to be normal water, but he couldn't confirm it.

It made him think that the dark blue glow was probably connected to other places, and that the place was in fact constantly changing—unless someone on the other end had just taken a glass of water for him to touch.

"Does Lawson Bridge look like this?"

"Or is it the portal of fantasy space?"

"Or report it to the state!"

Cheng Yun was muttering to himself, but there was a sudden throbbing in his heart, which really made him inexplicable.

So, he showed a bewildered look again.

Adolescent boys will sigh after the first XX time: Ah, this feeling is like this...... But he didn't even know what to call it.

Before he could experience the strange sensation, he heard a vague sound, and the source of the sound was a luminous body.

The tempo is generally gentle, with slight ups and downs, and the syllables change very quickly, not any of the languages he is familiar with. It's like someone is singing, the voice is old, continuous, gradually from far to near, from blurred to clear......

Cheng Yun hurriedly pulled out of thin air, opened the door, stood by the door and cautiously watched the luminous body, ready to snatch the door out and slam the door at any time!

Suddenly, the syllables stopped!

A slightly old hand reached out of the luminary, clasping the edge of the luminary. At the same time, dense and complex symbols suddenly appeared in the dark space, flying wildly in the air.

His eyes widened, and his black pupils reflected in blue oval luminaries and flying mystical symbols.

One foot crosses the border!

The shoes are weird, with a patch.

Cheng Yun looked down.

When both feet appeared at the same time, he looked up and saw a person standing in front of the luminary. The man stared at him calmly, with a kind expression, and obscure symbols flew around him in the sky, countless of them, spreading into the distance in the dark space.

Grunt!

Cheng Yun swallowed again.

He quickly slipped out and slammed the door behind him!, and at last glance, he saw a look of astonishment on the old man's face.

With his back against the door, he gasped for air.

It's so scary!

He didn't leave in a hurry, but put his ear to the security door and listened to the movement inside.

Nothing can be heard.

There was no knocking on the door either.

Yes, this door is invisible inside, even nothing, non-existent. When he wanted to open the door, no matter where he stood, he could open it with a pull, but he wasn't sure if the old man had the ability.

He went downstairs and drank a glass of water to suppress the shock, and sat for a long time before he was sure that the old man, who looked like a homeless man from another world, really couldn't open the door.

In other words, it's likely that only you have the ability to open that door, and if so, you don't go wrong with your feelings—that space might count as your 'half home'.

Well, half.

Cheng Yun struggled for a while between whether to hand it over to the state, and then felt that the old man was not like a bad person, so he mustered up the courage again and decided to go up and have a look.

Curiosity kills cats.

He opened the door a crack, glanced in very calmly, and saw nothing, so he reassured himself to widen the crack in the door.

At this moment, a force suddenly appeared out of thin air and forcibly pulled him in, and he could not resist it at all.

A moment later –

The old man stood in front of him, holding a staff inlaid with a crystal ball the size of an apple in his hand, his expression was still calm, his eyes were already a little cloudy, but there was an unattainable wisdom in them, looking at him: "*&%¥#¥%#......"

Cheng Yun: "???"

The old man frowned slightly, then nodded, and raised his staff slightly, and the blue light on the crystal ball flashed.

"My name is Kunzhen, probably ...... is a spellcaster from another world, nice to meet you. ”

“？？？”

Cheng Yun turned his head to stare at him, looking confused.
