Chapter 1: Lonely Chen

The void is vast and boundless. Like the ultimate of the night, and like the infinity of light.

Looking at the world here, Gu Chen slowly stretched out his hands, as if he wanted to touch something, but he quickly retracted it again after reaching halfway through. This...... It's the first time he's been in this space, but every time he comes here, he feels more or less helpless.

"What is nothingness?What is nothingness?Nothingness is ......" Soon, around Gu Chen, an illusory sound that shook the soul immediately sounded.

"Ah!!h

It's been 4 years, and Guchen has had this ethereal dream countless times, but he has been awakened by the voice coming from the dream countless times. He clearly remembered that this dream appeared when he was 12 years old, after his father completely relapsed due to the dark disease he had hidden for many years, and the family had no money to buy medicine for treatment, so he left him forever.

At first, the dream was not as real as it is now, but rather a little illusory. Over time, he was now fully able to hear the words spoken in the dream space.

"It's this dream again, what the hell is nothingness?!!!" At this time, Guchen looked at the half-moon hanging high in the sky outside the window in distraction, and muttered softly unconsciously.

The moonlight gently hit his ordinary, ordinary face at this time, but it seemed a little softer.

"Alas, tomorrow is the annual day to enter Beijing to take the exam, what else do I want to do with this!"

"But...... Then again, this dream is really annoying!" Thinking of this, Gu Chen couldn't help but reach out and scratch his hair in the shape of a chicken nest.

"Forget it! Go to sleep. But just as he was about to turn over and lie down again, suddenly, there was a cacophony of mortals outside.

"Ah~Runβ€”β€”"

"Crackle!!crack!!"

"Help!!"

β€œ......”

Suddenly, Gu Chen immediately noticed the abnormality: "Well, although my house is ventilated, there will be bursts of buzzing sound at night. However, there is clearly something wrong with the sound tonight. ”

Thinking of this, Gu Chen immediately lifted the quilt that covered his body with his hand, which was already a little flying, got up and got dressed, and planned to go out to have a look.

"Bang Bang !!"

"Open the door, open the door, open the door!!"

"Bang dang! Bang dang!"

However, at this moment, there was a sudden sound of rapid knocking on the door outside. And between the banging on the door, the cacophony became clearer, and it was obvious that some of the big men's impatient urgings could be discerned from it

At this time, Gu Chen, who had just put on his clothes, walked to the door of the house without hesitation. He didn't immediately open the door, but put his ear to the crack in the door and listened carefully.

"Hurry up, don't go, Lao Tzu will chop you with a knife!"

"Run, the bandits are here to slaughter the village, ah......"

"Ahh

"Ah~ killed, killed!!" Obviously, that person had become a ghost in the hands of that bandit before he could even finish speaking.

Hearing this, Gu Chen's face suddenly changed, and he whispered to himself: "Bandits, slaughter the village?!!!

"This, this ......"

As if he had realized something, Gu Chen suddenly turned around sharply and looked at the tattered furniture in the room. From a small pile of rotten crockpots next to the door, he quickly took out a palm-sized rag package. After looking at it for a moment, he carefully put it in his arms, pushed the door open slightly, and looked around.

Suddenly, at a glance, I saw that the gate not far away had been seriously deformed, and it had become precarious in the impact again and again. Seeing this, Gu Chen did not hesitate to completely open the door of the house and dodged out from the inside.

"Bang!"

At this moment, the door was completely slammed open, and in an instant, seven or eight rough-faced men poured in from outside, all of them burly and armed with murder weapons, and they all looked gloomy.

At this time, Gu Chen was quite thin and short due to malnutrition on weekdays, and standing in front of this group of tall and big men, he looked as small and unsightly as ants.

"Damn, the gates of the whole village are not as strong as yours!" At this time, a bald man at the head said angrily

"That's it, seven or eight of us collided together, and it took half an hour to crash away!" Hearing this, a short man with a slightly thin figure next to the big man coaxed

Looking at these big men in front of him, Gu Chen was stunned for a moment, and said with a rather strange expression: "Each ...... Ladies and gentlemen, my family and Xiaosheng's family are very poor, and it is really ...... There's really nothing to show for you, you...... You just, just let Xiaosheng go!"

"Huh, let it go?"

"Let's let you go, who will let us go when the time comes?" Saying this, the bald man suddenly glared at Gu Chen angrily. The big knife on his shoulder, under the reflection of the moonlight, hit Gu Chen's face brightly, and suddenly turned Gu Chen's face white.

"I ...... I. ”

Before he finished speaking, Gu Chen immediately turned around and ran. Before the group of big men could come back to their senses, they had already run into the house, slammed the door shut, and quickly hung up the deadbolt.

Even so, Gu Chen was still not at ease, and blocked all the furniture in the house that he could move in the doorβ€”of course, there were not many things, just a small broken bed, a small desk, and two rotten chairs.

"Ah!!!!h

At this time, the group of big men outside who reacted suddenly let out bursts of angry roars. In their opinion, Gu Chen is so thin and small, trying to kill him is as easy as pinching an ant to death!

However, they had wasted too much time and effort in order to open the broken door of Guchen's house before, and their patience had already been exhausted!

"Little cub, after grandpa caught you today, he had to pick your skin!" Among the big men, a middle-aged man with a scar on his face said gloomily at this time, and walked quickly towards the house where Guchen was at this time.

"Bang-"

After a loud bang, the door of Guchen's house was smashed into a big hole. Seeing this, the big man with the scar holding the mace was stunned for a moment. Compared to the gate of Guchen's house, the door of the house seems so vulnerable!!

"Oh my god, this ...... What can I do?"

"If so...... If I were to be captured by these murderous bandits, what would happen. Thinking of this, Gu Chen didn't dare to think about it anymore.

At this time, although Gu Chen's heart was full of mixed feelings, he saw that most of his house door had been shattered under the several attacks of the scarred man, but he still didn't think of any countermeasures.

Leaning slowly against the corner of the room, Gu Chen's godless gaze could vaguely see the hideous face of the big man outside through the big hole.

"Bang!boom!"

"What to do, what to do, what to do......" Gu Chen muttered softly, his hands unconsciously touching the wall behind him.

"Hey, hey, little one, just stay in there. In a while, grandpa, I will definitely treat you well......"

"Bang !!Bang

With the mace in the hand of the middle-aged scarred man, the final blow fell fiercely, and the door of Guchen's house had been completely forcibly broken, but at this moment......
