Chapter 1: The Otherworld

I don't know how long it took, Shiraishi's face gradually became clear, was he hugging me?

"What's wrong with me?" I found Shiraishi sitting on a circular stone platform in the park, and I leaned against him.

"You fainted all of a sudden, I was about to call an ambulance, and then you woke up"

"How long have I been fainting?"

"That's it... Less than a minute, a short time"

"Less than a minute? Are you sure? "On second thought, this is a crowded street, and if I faint for too long, a person can see that something is wrong, who would help a fainted person to sit on a stone platform in the park and be indifferent?

"Really!" He swore to me.

"However, what happened to you in the process of fainting, I see that your face is constantly sweating, and I have to keep wiping your sweat"

Should I tell him I saw a mysterious person? A wooden bookmark appeared in the place where the man disappeared, similar to the bookmark he saw He Jinyan, and I carried it in my pocket.

It's not that I don't believe him, but with his big personality, I'm afraid it will cause more trouble, and I don't want to provoke strange people anymore, but if I don't tell him, I'm afraid that he will notice something. So I tentatively asked him, "If I were involved in a strange event, would you choose to go with me?" ”

"Strange events?" I said these things to him suddenly, and his reaction was a bit confusing.

I was afraid that he would notice something, so I added, "I mean... Possibly"

I'm not good at lying, and I try to cover it up with an embarrassed smile, knowing that for those who know me well, the smile is just a pale cover.

"It's really worth seeing your rare panic, it's worth it" The corners of his mouth raised slightly, and he looked like he was bound to win.

"I really wish I could see strange things, after all, my academic career is too boring."

Did he indirectly agree? Should I be surprised or worried? The hand reflexively grips the bookmark, and when the finger touches the surface of the bookmark, the runes on it appear.

I was unaware of the changes hidden in my pocket.

"Hey, that's not a reason why you shouldn't study hard!"

"I know, I know, I'm not stupid," we looked at each other and smiled.

I glanced at my phone, it was half past five, a lot later than usual, and I had to go back quickly.

"It's not too early, I should go back, you should hurry home too" I said goodbye to Shiraishi and quickly left the park.

The bus stop still needs to run some more distance, and my mind is starting to think uncontrollably again, damn it, that's one of my shortcomings, the slightest unusual thing will explode infinitely in my eyes.

But my sudden fainting does not seem to be explained by ordinary cognition, I have a hunch, at least in this matter, I definitely did not think much about it.

I looked up the road and a bus was turning at the intersection and was soon at the bus stop. But I never expected that the fainting would come again as scheduled.

The runes that appeared on the surface of the bookmark in my pocket reached the apex of the bookmark, and the white light created by the bookmark surrounded me, and I reflexively blocked my eyes with my hand, and after a while, I lost consciousness.

When I woke up again, I was stunned.

It's not a real world, it's not a dream, I'm in a strange place, there are two people standing on the roof of an abandoned building, and I'm lying on the sidewalk outside the fence of an abandoned building.

The building is not too far from the sidewalk, and the roof is six stories above the ground, so I can roughly see the movements of the two people on the roof.

One person choked the neck of another person, pinched for a few seconds and let go as if he regretted it, the person who pinched the neck was about to leave, at this time the person was facing away from the person who was pinched, at this time something unexpected happened, the person who was pinched knelt on the ground, as if he was breathing heavily.

At this time, something unexpected happened, the person who was choked by the neck eased up and picked up a reflective thing on the ground, when he completely picked up the reflective thing, according to his actions, the reflective thing was probably a long knife!

Is he going to kill? Why does this place allow ordinary people to use controlled knives in an open and honest manner? And in addition to martial arts props or collectibles, long knives can be obtained by ordinary people, but it is impossible to kill people.

The person who was choked in the neck picked up the long knife and stabbed the person who choked the neck without hesitation, and the person who was stabbed looked back at the person who stabbed him, and then fell to the ground and never got up again.

Why do the movements of these two people look familiar, as if they have seen them somewhere, and where are they? I slowly moved to the nearest bench with my head covered, closed my eyes and began to try to remember.

Oh, it's a book! A thought flashed through my mind, and I remembered that the two men were acting like a book I had read, and that the abandoned building I had seen was somewhat similar to what was described in the book.

Impossible, how could such a thing happen! I opened my eyes and looked on the roof of the abandoned building, where the man with the long knife had already left, and the victim of his sneak attack was lying motionless in a pool of blood.

The identities of those two people, as well as the demeanor of their every move, and the surrounding buildings that coexist with ancient and modern times. Their existence is all too familiar, as if the city and its inhabitants were created by me. Yes, it's only natural that I know them, because I'm the author who created the worldview of this book.
