In the evening, on the fifth floor of the old school building, in the utility room of the student union.

On the table in front of Bai Ge, there was an antique-shaped clock.

The bell had stopped, and Bai Ge gently put his hand on the bell and closed his eyes.

"Projection, begin...... It's weird. ”

He smiled self-deprecatingly and began to honestly unscrew the screws on the back of the clock with a screwdriver.

"Mechanical clock, where did the president get this?"

The reason why Bai Ge is sitting here is to help the school's student council president fix things.

Although he is not a member of the student council, Bai Ge has a good relationship with the president of the student council, often helping, and is also known as a shadow member.

Today's job is to repair the old clock that is in the student union office.

His movements are fluid, like that of a skilled watchmaker, carefully searching for the problem between gears and gears, and finger-controlled tweezers maneuver through the cracks where even the slightest disturbance can cause the entire structure to collapse.

Ordinary high school students don't have such technology.

Of course, Bai Ge is not the heir of a watch family.

If you really want to say it, this is the transcendence of Bai Ge.

Bai Ge is an ascender.

But it is not as famous and powerful as the high-level upgrader written in the news, Bai Ge is an ordinary first-order upgrader.

At this stage, the official name given is [Mortal Body].

Yes, first-order ascenders are generally not fundamentally different from ordinary people, but are more like guys with specialties in some aspects.

It can't breathe fire, it can't be transformed, it's hungry and you have to eat, and if you're killed, you'll die.

Even at the joint meeting of the four major observatories, there was a controversy as to whether a first-order ascender was extraordinary.

After all, there is no star personality of its own, and there is no historical name, so it is difficult to say that it belongs to the ranks of the public's recognized ascendants.

However, due to the impact of the Fog Capital Death Incident seventeen years ago, the final first-order upgraders were also included in the transcendental, and they were under the control and management of the observatories of each faction.

Now, the threshold for becoming a first-order upgrader is not high, compared to historical fragments or abyss relics that can only be purchased at a high price, as long as there is a way, you can buy a bottle of the lowest-level upgrade rainbow for about 100,000 yuan, and after taking this rainbow-colored potion, you can become an upgrader.

Some rich people, just to make their children more powerful than others, give them the rainbow of promotion, become ascenders early, and even purchase corresponding historical fragments, trying to let their children step into the real transcendental.

Bai Ge became an ascender five years ago.

He couldn't remember the exact situation.

I only knew that there was an accident at home, and after that, he became an ascender.

The uncle who raised him never mentioned the cause and effect, and Bai Ge didn't ask interestingly.

As an upgrader, Bai Ge's biggest advantage on weekdays is that his fingers are very flexible.

Whether it's typing on the keyboard, playing music games, or repairing these small and delicate clocks, these hands can bring him the greatest convenience.

As for the rest, the law-abiding Bai Ge didn't dare to have any bold ideas, and he didn't have a chance to put them into practice.

More than thirty minutes later, Bai Ge wound the reassembled clock.

Knock Knock Knock –

The clock quickly walked up, and the sound of the time was striking because it was the hour.

"Well, that's good."

Bai Ge nodded with satisfaction.

Packing up, he locked the door to the utility room and left.

Looking out the window of the hallway waiting for the decorative plants to be watered, Bai Ge glanced at the playground, no one was practicing high jump, and certainly no guy in a blue leotard was fighting with a man in a red cape.

At night, on top of the towering signal tower in the middle of the city, the stars twinkled, and even if he knew that it was hypocritical, Bai Ge would still sigh at the beautiful scenery.

Well?

Bai Ge, who was looking up at the starry sky, caught a glimpse of a person standing at the staircase on the other side of the corridor.

The lights in the corridor had long been turned off, Bai Ge squinted his eyes slightly, and by the starlight, he could vaguely see that it was a girl wearing a sailor suit skirt.

She seemed to be muttering something to herself into the air, and her voice was inaudible.

Bai Ge suddenly thought of some not-so-good plots, and was a little hesitant to leave or go over to see the situation.

After thinking about it, he decided to be a little nosy.

However, just when Bai Ge took two steps towards the other party and was about to shout a reminder.

Bang –

The schoolgirl exploded.

"?"

Bai Ge was taken aback.

I saw that the girl's body seemed to be torn apart from the inside, by some powerful and absolute force, and her limbs, torso, and head were scattered in different directions.

Pieces of wreckage were scattered like rain, and the blood that exploded radially even splashed onto Bai Ge's face.

Bang dang –

However, when the stumps fell to the ground, there was a heavy, hard crashing sound.

"What's that?"

Bai Ge felt that something was wrong when he heard the voice.

Isn't that a real person, a manikin from a biological laboratory?

No, no, no, escapism isn't such an escape.

The girl's head rolled down to Bai Ge's feet.

Bai Ge truly realized the seriousness of the problem.

Because that face is love.

A girl who only transferred this semester.

It is said that the family is very rich, and the daughter who is very good at learning and socializing, the only drawback is probably that her health is not very good, and she occasionally asks for leave.

In private, the boys are delusional about the existence of the second most obsolete.

Her head was just wide open, lying quietly in front of Bai Ge.

What's going on?

What is she doing here?

Why did she blow up?

Black question mark. JPG。

If it weren't for the smell in the air that stimulated Bai Ge's nose, he might have thought that he had played too many games, and his brain had finally broken down, and he had seen an illusion.

Wait, the smell?

Bai Ge, who couldn't move his steps, touched his face, and his fingers touched the blood that had been splashed just now.

He looked at the "blood" on his fingers.

I've heard that blood without oxygen can be dark red, but the smell of blood on your fingertips isn't right?

Oil-smelling blood?

At this moment, the hallway of the classroom is filled with the strong smell of engine oil and steel.

Bai Ge lowered his head, his beautiful face was stained with unknown stains, his long hair was messy, and the wounds under his neck were uneven.

"Huh?"

Bai Ge saw that the wound was not flesh and bones.

Instead, there are interspersed sections of intricate lines and hard metal.

There was even a bit of oil leakage.

"Alchemy dolls?"

Bai Ge realized the seriousness of the problem.

Alchemy dolls, general-purpose combat weapons made using technology from the abyss.

Although it is a technology from the side of the Pan-Western Sea Business Community, it is manufactured in various forces due to its convenience.

For Bai Ge, this is one of the most common mobs in ARK: Upgrade Designation.

In the game, he can control a bunch of high-level ascenders to mow the grass and hundreds of alchemy dolls.

But in reality, a normally configured alchemy doll is enough to beat ten of him.

In short, the appearance of alchemy dolls in the remote city of Jingjiang is definitely not a good sign.

Report it now.

Suppressing speculation about the true identity of love, Bai Ge thought.

However, at this very time.

"Hey."

A woman's voice was heard.

"Here, at your feet."

Hearing this, Bai Ge looked down at the "thing" that made the sound.

The love with only one head left is indeed talking to himself.

The voice of love was used, but the tone was completely different from that of the eldest lady.

"You're Bai Ge, do me a favor."

She said in a commanding tone.

"Take my head away."

"Huh?"

In the corridor of the teaching building after school, I watched my classmates who got along with each other fall apart in front of me, and then dropped my head and said that I would take it away.

Is there something wrong with the way this story opens?
