Volume I. The Wandering Race Chapter 0001.Look at this door, it's long and wide
Looking at the oval portal in front of him, Chen Yueyuan had a headache.
Since a month ago, similar strange gates had been appearing around him, sometimes square, sometimes triangular, but without exception, no one but him could see them.
The outline of the door glows with a faint blue light, and the faΓ§ade ripples like a breeze blowing through the water.
Chen Yueyuan looked around, it was still the same as before, no one noticed the anomaly on the sidewalk, and many people came and went to touch this portal that suddenly appeared, but nothing happened.
After slowing down, Chen Yueyuan turned his body to the left, kept a distance from the portal and walked over.
Curiosity as a human instinct, is not only a factor of people's progress but also the source of death, Chen Yueyuan, as a salted fish who just wants to live a plain and leisurely life, understands the truth that curiosity kills cats, and naturally stays away from this strange thing.
"Ah, there's an update again tonight......" Chen Yueyuan took out his mobile phone and looked at the time while thinking about the drama updated at night, passed by the portal, and walked towards the rented community, and the portal in place slowly disappeared after a few minutes, as if it had never appeared.
In H City, the rental price of the community belongs to the upper middle price of the country, and Chen Yueyuan has to pay two-fifths of his salary to the rent every month. Recently, the subway near the community is about to be repaired, and the landlord is preparing to raise the house price by 200 yuan, which makes Chen Yueyuan start to think about whether he should move.
Along the main road of the community all the way to the south, Chen Yueyuan found a group of melon-eating people noisily surrounding the intersection of this branch road when passing by a branch road, looking inside, as if something had happened.
When passing by a gray-haired old man, Chen Yueyuan heard him say to the old lady next to him with palpitations: "Oops...... It's dangerous......"
"yes, it's good to call the police in time."
"Hey, what happened to Building No. 1?" On the other side, the curious aunt who had just arrived at the scene asked about the girls who were watching the excitement on the side.
"It seems to be Building 44......"
"What about people? Is there anyone in there? β
"There are people, but they all escaped, but there is a young man who jumped from the second floor and broke his foot......"
"Oh...... It's good if people are okay......"
The discussion of the crowd was heard by Chen Yueyuan, combined with the crooked thick water pipes on the ground and the red fire truck parked not far away, it was easy to judge that there was a house on fire.
The fire is a big deal, Chen Yueyuan himself lives nearby, which is related to life safety, so he also went up and inquired carefully, it seems to be caused by an inferior heating fan, fortunately, the neighbor called the police in time, and the fire was extinguished before it spread, and no one was injured, oh, except for the young man who jumped off the second floor......
According to the situation at the time, in fact, there was no time to run out of the corridor without jumping off the building......
After a general understanding of the whole story, Chen Yueyuan hurried to his house, he wanted to go back to check the electrical appliances in his room, and when he went out in the morning, it seemed that the wiring board was not unplugged......
"Click~" The door opened as soon as the key was twisted half a circle, Chen Yueyuan shook it for a moment, and obviously locked the door before going out in the morning?
This rented room is generally lived by him alone.,When my sister comes to play during the holidays, she occasionally stays overnight.,She has a key.,But it's a weekday.,My sister should still be in school.,Is there a thief coming in?
Chen Yueyuan secretly kept an eye on it, and became vigilant, this is the fourth floor, the south-facing windows are blocked by iron railings, only this passage can enter and exit, if the thief is still there, he will definitely be able to catch it......
"Who's in there?" Chen Yueyuan gently pushed open the door, and there was a light shining out along the narrow aisle.
"Brother, are you back?" A lazy voice came out from inside, hearing this familiar voice, Chen Yueyuan suddenly relaxed, and he also planned that if the other party had a murder weapon, he would immediately close the door and trap the thief inside to ask others for help.
"Xinyue, why did you come here today? Isn't it Thursday? Chen Yueyuan walked into the aisle and closed the door, and saw a pair of small women's sneakers on the ground, which belonged to his sister.
"Something happened at school, so the whole school was on vacation."
Walking through the corridor to the center of the room, Chen Yueyuan saw an eighteen or nineteen-year-old girl wearing white cartoon pajamas lying on the bed playing with her laptop, and her long black hair leaked out of the hood of her pajamas, looking very cute.
Chen Xinyue, his sister Chen Yueyuan, is now studying at a public university in H City and is a top student majoring in music.
"Something's wrong?" Chen Yueyuan was immediately shocked when he heard this, "What can happen to the whole school for a holiday?" β
Chen Xinyue turned her head, showing a hint of fear on her face: "I heard the teacher say that it seems that a murderer has run into the school, and a student in the school has been killed." β
"Murderer?!" Chen Yueyuan, who had just picked up the water cup on the coffee table and took a sip, almost squirted: "What is the situation?" β
H City is one of the first-tier cities in the country, although the law and order is not closed at night, but at least it can be called very safe, and now there is a sudden occurrence of a murderer, I am afraid that the police uncles are busy.
"I don't know very well, but I heard from my classmates that on the fifth floor of the library, the whole body of the murdered boy was cut in half vertically, and half of the body was missing, and it is said that the first student who witnessed the scene was frightened and sent to the hospital." Chen Xinyue said as she searched for news about the public university in H City on her computer, but the strange thing was that such a big thing was not at all stormy now.
Chen Yueyuan frowned, although he couldn't say why, he felt that this matter was not as simple as it seemed.
"After the library was blocked, all the teachers in the school were called to a meeting by the leaders, and we were still in class at that time, and the teacher told us to go back to the dormitory first, not to go out of the dormitory, and let us leave the school in the afternoon and wait for the follow-up notice."
After saying the general course of the matter, Chen Xinyue widened her eyes and observed Chen Yueyuan's expression, as if to say: Yuanfang, what do you think?
Chen Yueyuan didn't pay attention to Xinyue's movements, he lowered his head and thought for a while, and said, "Xinyue, clean up, we will go back to our hometown tomorrow." β
"Huh? Why? β
"Recently, H City has been a little unpeaceful, anyway, it's almost December now, so just take two months off and go home early for the New Year." Chen Yueyuan answered Chen Xinyue's doubts while opening the curtain and looking out, only to see a light blue door floating in the air, similar to what he had seen on the sidewalk before.
This door has appeared more and more frequently recently, and a faint sense of uneasiness has spread in his heart, and Chen Yueyuan decided to start with his heart.
"Why are you going back so early? I also want to go to S City for a concert on Thanksgiving. Chen Xinyue flipped through her phone and found a screenshot of the poster: "You see, seven professional grade 10 pianists performed at the Thanksgiving concert held in S City on November 28, and I made an appointment with my roommate to go together." β
Chen Yueyuan stretched out his head and glanced at it, and suddenly felt a pain in his flesh: "Ticket 1288?!" This is clearly a robbery! Where did you get so much money to go to this concert? β
"I earned it myself, and you forgot that I got a tutor outside?"
Chen Xinyue is good at violin, not long ago I found a job teaching children violin primers, but she made a lot of money, and the family is also atmospheric, and the hourly salary alone is 200.
"Is that so...... No, you're learning violin, why are you going to join in the excitement when people have piano concerts? Chen Yueyuan suddenly reacted.
"Music is not separated, and I don't understand it." What Chen Xinyue said is reasonable and well-founded, but Chen Yueyuan can't refute it.
β...... Okay, then we'll leave tomorrow, and I'll accompany you to S City. β
"What stupid are you talking about, it's still a week, where are we going to stay?"
As a super first-tier city in the country, the price of S city is obviously much higher than that of H city, which is a lot of expenses if it passes in advance, just food and accommodation is a lot of expenses.
"Stay in a hotel." Chen Yueyuan took out his mobile phone from his pocket, dialed the number of the company's supervisor, and about five or six seconds later, the opposite side picked it up.
"Hello? Who is it? β
"Hello director, I'm Chen Yueyuan."
"Oh! Xiao Chen, what's the matter with you? β
"Starting next week, I want to take a leave of absence until the Chinese New Year."
"What's going on? Is something wrong? Why do you have to take so many days off? The voice on the other end of the line seemed to be a little hurried.
"It's not easy to say, but it's really important and I have to deal with it as soon as possible." Chen Yueyuan's voice was very solemn, making people feel that he really needed to ask for leave in an emergency.
"Okay, then you come to the company tomorrow to go through the formalities." The director of the company at the other end didn't follow any questions.
"Okay, thank you, Director, for bothering you." Chen Yueyuan politely waited for the other party to hang up the phone first.
Chen Xinyue held back a smile on the side, and when Chen Yueyuan put down the phone, she couldn't help laughing: "Hahaha......"
"What's so funny?" Chen Yueyuan picked up the notebook on the bed and put it on the computer desk with a dark face.
"It's not easy to say, but it's really important, I have to ...... it as soon as possible" Chen Xinyue stretched her face, repeated it in a rough voice imitating Chen Yueyuan's tone, and couldn't help laughing before she finished speaking: "Hahaha, isn't it just going to a concert, and you still act so seriously......"
"Get up! Get up! Chen Yueyuan looked at her sister's hippie smiling face, and was angry: "Play on the computer and sit and play, don't keep lying on the bed!" β
Chen Xinyue propped up her hands and straightened her waist, the hood of her pajamas also fell off, and the soft hair inside fell down her shoulders like a waterfall, looking like a crazy woman at first glance.
"What time is it?"
"It's half past seven." Chen Yueyuan glanced at the time and raised her eyebrows: "I'll go!" It's half past seven?! β
Chen Xinyue glanced at Chen Yueyuan, who suddenly became excited, and wondered, "What are you going to do?" β
Chen Yueyuan hurriedly took out the mobile phone that he put back in his pocket: "The daily benefits of my mobile game are going to run out, and they will be gone at eight o'clock!" β
"......" the corners of Chen Xinyue's mouth twitched: "You are really developing towards the house, no wonder you can't find a girlfriend." β
"Hey, I'm grumpy, it's a house to play games?"
"It's almost the same, there are several otaku in my class who stare at their phones all day long, and they haven't said a few words to girls for almost a year since school started, which is a complete waste of valuable places in music majors."
"According to you, is there a boy you like?" Chen Yueyuan's eyes did not leave the phone, and she laughed at her sister: "You can be regarded as a sweetheart, hurry up and confess and develop into a boyfriend, and my mother will not always urge me to go on a blind date." β
"I'm too lazy to fall in love, it's a waste of time, it's better to play games!" Chen Xinyue looked disdainful: "And several boys in the class are too ...... Anyway, the personality doesn't have a good appetite for me. β
"And what do you like?" Chen Yueyuan smiled: "Why don't I help you find a few?" β
"Excuse me, if you have this time, you should find the right one yourself, anyway, if you want to urge me at home, you won't rush me first."
"Ahem, let's end this topic."
If you continue to talk about it, you will lose both, this kind of topic is not usually talked about with the elders at home, the relationship between brother and sister has been good since childhood, and the two occasionally talk about a few words when they get along, and it is also a way to get closer to each other.
"By the way, what kind of mobile game are you playing?" Chen Xinyue suddenly put her head in front of Chen Yueyuan's mobile phone screen and asked.
"Get out of the way, I can't see it." Chen Yueyuan pushed away his sister's head with one hand, and said: "The RPG mobile game that has just come out recently, the law of making people." β
"The law of creation? What a nasty name! Chen Xinyue looked disgusted.
"The plot is still pretty good, and there are a few side lines that are also very touching, which is pretty good...... Ah, it's a ten-even guaranteed ......"
"What are you doing now?"
"Draw cards, you just can't draw SSR." Chen Yueyuan sighed, is he really an African?
Gacha? Is that what the lottery means? Chen Xinyue suddenly became interested: "I'll try it!" β
"There's only one card drawn left, so you can draw it." Chen Yueyuan handed over the mobile phone, maybe he could pull out a miracle alone.
"Look at me!" Chen Xinyue took the phone, her slender fingers gently slid across the screen, and the picture of the card drawing began to play, and the disc representing rarity on it began to rotate, the interface gradually shone brightly, and a golden flame bloomed from above the disc in the screen......
Is it SSR......
"Is this the rarest?" Chen Xinyue asked with a cute face.
"It's really an unkillable European ......" Chen Yueyuan thought for a moment, this is his sister...... Immediately stopped his mouth: "Yes, it is the rarest." β
"Looks like I'm lucky!" After getting the answer, Chen Xinyue's smile became even stronger.
"I seriously suspect that my mother gave you all the luck when she gave birth to us...... Chen Yueyuan said and left the room: "You can play by yourself, I'll go to the living room to make the bed." β
"Oh!" Chen Xinyue nodded, when she came to stay overnight with Chen Yueyuan, she slept on the bed, and Chen Yueyuan slept on the sofa in the living room outside, although the two were brothers and sisters, they were both adults, and the defense of men and women was still necessary.
It was late at night, and Chen Yueyuan, who had watched a few dramas that had just been updated, was lying on the sofa and sleeping soundly, and a light blue portal quietly appeared next to him, this time it was square.
It floated silently in mid-air, without any movement, and after a few minutes, vanished again.
At the same time, above the earth, a huge torrent that could not be detected by any detection technology rushed from the depths of the universe, swept past the sun, and rushed to an unknown place......
