Chapter 1: Back in 2015
"Xiao Xu, wake up!"
Feeling that someone was shaking himself, Xu Changqing suddenly woke up, covered in cold sweat. He looked around and saw that he was in a very large room. The ceiling is about four meters high, and the rows of cold lights are only a few on, and the light is very dim. In front of me is a long desk with a computer. This environment ...... Strange, yet familiar.
"Xiao Xu, are you okay?" The voice next to him was still talking.
Xu Changqing turned his head to see a short and stocky middle-aged man standing next to him, with thick eyebrows and a nose and thick lips. He had a worried expression on his face, patted Xu Changqing on the shoulder and said, "Don't brace if you're not feeling well, go home and rest." You've added an all-nighter and it's the next day. ”
This middle-aged man looked familiar, but he couldn't remember who it was for a while. There was a lot of confusion in my mind, like a thousand things were tearing at the same time. Xu Changqing thought for a while and said to the middle-aged man, "Thank you, my brain was a little dizzy just now." I'll sit a little longer and go home. ”
So the middle-aged man walked away, and before leaving, he said, "Don't be strong." ”
Xu Changqing began to look around. There are desks, computers, central air conditioning, and it is obviously an office building. So why am I sitting here? He began to retrace the memories in his mind. It's so weird, I'm supposed to be dead. I clearly remember that a moment ago, I was imprisoned by heavy chains, and my strength was drained. The woman who betrayed herself had a cold light in her hand. He knew that she was about to cast the spell of Godhead deprivation, but there was nothing she could do.
Everything should start in the summer of 2015. That year, Xu Changqing was still an ordinary software engineer, working in an office building near Yokohama Station. After a time of overtime, he came home late at night and picked up a shard of a spar that shimmered red on the way. Since then, his life has been completely different.
It was a fragment of Godhead, from an unknown god of unknown crystal wall system. In the summer of 2015, six thousand Godhead fragments fell from the sky and changed the world. Those who are lucky enough to pick them up and successfully fuse them are called the Chosen One. The Fragments of Godhead bring them supernatural powers and guide them to fight each other in order to capture each other's Fragments. The more fragments that are fused, the more power there is. There is a consensus among the Chosen One: as long as you fuse all six thousand fragments, you can ignite the divine fire and become a new god.
Apotheosize! What an exciting goal. Like other Chosen One, Xu Changqing used all kinds of means to capture, fuse, and devour. Eight years later, he had become one of the few Chosen Ones, at the top of the food chain. Countless people campaigned for his will, searching for the remaining fragments of Godhead for him. He was the uncrowned monarch, and he thought that the throne of the gods was already his.
However, the only woman he loved in his life betrayed him.
"I want to try to be a god, too." She smiled, a cold light darting in her fingertips.
He regretted, hated, hated why he trusted her so much, and unreservedly confessed his weaknesses to her. In the face of the temptation of the gods, love is so pale. He is not a person who can easily trust others, but he did not expect that the only unreserved trust would be betrayed so bloodily.
If you could go back to the way things were......
Seeing the glow of the deprivation of Godhead, he wept and prayed over and over again: If he could go back to the past!
Back in time?
Looking around again, Xu Changqing suddenly realized how similar the scene in front of him was eight years ago. Desks, computers, office buildings, can't! He trembled and touched the mouse and clicked on the time in the lower right corner. July 2015! It's really 2015!
Am I born again? Am I back in the way I was?
After the ecstasy, Xu Changqing instinctively condensed his spirit, wanting to feel the fragment of the godhead in his body. And yet nothing. Yes, he immediately realized that I hadn't fused the first fragment yet. This memory was so impressive that he will never forget it. It was picked up by chance under a certain bridge on the night when I was returning home from overtime. Time...... It seems to be today?
There can be no more delay, and with every second of delay, things can change. Xu Changqing made a quick decision, simply packed his backpack, and prepared to leave the office building.
At this moment, someone suddenly greeted: "Come, Xiao Xu, don't leave yet, come here." ”
Following the direction of the voice, Xu Changqing saw a thin and slender middle-aged man, with eyebrows like eagles and a gloomy gaze, who was the project manager in charge of the progress. If it had been in the past, he would have walked over and waited obediently for training. But what time is it? Race against time! For the sake of the Godhead fragment, this job is nothing.
Completely ignorant, he strapped on his backpack and headed straight for the gate.
"Xiao Xu, Xu Changqing!"
Behind him, the gloomy middle-aged man was angry: "Look at your progress!" Today you still have two modules that you have to write! Give me back! ”
Xu Changqing didn't stop at his feet, and replied casually: "Manager Huang, if you hadn't been stuffed back and forth a few times, the part I was responsible for would have been done a long time ago." By the way, it seems that all the modules stuffed up are written and smashed by your wife? ”
Bang!
The gloomy middle-aged man was furious and slapped the table: "Xu Changqing, do you still want to do this scene?" I have a relationship with the Fusang people above, and a word can get you out of the scene, believe it or not? ”
Xu Changqing sneered wordlessly, but his feet sped up.
The gloomy middle-aged man raised his profile and continued to shout at Xu Changqing: "Stop me!" Do you dare to go? I can fire you with just one phone call! You can't come to work tomorrow if you want to, why don't you try? I'll call now! Hey, stop, stop! ”
At this time, Xu Changqing was already near the gate. He opened the door and walked directly to the elevator, and the gloomy middle-aged man jumped like thunder behind him, completely as air.
Since the moment of rebirth, the world has been completely different. A programming job? It's ridiculous, staying up more vigils every month, just for a mere 200,000 yen. Compared to the fragments of Godhead, the mud is not as good.
Looking at the rapid change of the number of floors in the elevator, Xu Changqing secretly decided that there must be no more mistakes in this life!
First of all, the first step is to get the red Godhead shard, which is what belongs to you.
At 8 o'clock in the evening, Yokohama Station is bustling with activity at night. People come and go with their own agendas, and their feet are in a hurry. Xu Changqing swiped his card to enter the station and paid attention to the timetable. Right now, there are exactly two buses, both bound for Edo. He estimated the time and chose the Tokaido Line, which had fewer stops along the way.
The car was very crowded, and I could only stand, but it didn't affect my thinking at all. Xu Changqing leaned against the car door, and the lights of the high-rise buildings on both sides brushed over his face, repeating the cycle. He quietly looked out the window at the bustling world, but his eyes were not focused on it, and his thoughts had already flown far away.
