"Is it raining?"

As soon as Li Yan, who had finished cleaning, walked to the door of the teaching building, it began to rain outside.

Li Yan rubbed his eyebrows, his umbrella was placed in the dormitory, if he wanted to go back and get it, he might as well go to the supermarket opposite the school to buy one. Anyway, the clothes will get wet, and it's closer to the supermarket.

"What bad luck!"

Li Yan sighed.

Since he was a child, he has been very unlucky, the kind of luck that is negative, and he will stuff his teeth when he drinks cold water - in a sense.

Based on the number of moldy things that had happened in the past, he summed up some patterns. Every Friday is his lucky day – nothing bad will happen.

Before this morning, he thought so—

Li Yan was sleeping on his own this morning and happened to hit the muzzle of the gun and was discovered by the head teacher. It just so happened that the person in charge of cleaning today asked for leave, and he was punished by the director for cleaning the classroom alone after school.

"Let's go out and buy one!"

After making a decision, Li Yan put his schoolbag on his head and ran out with all his might. When crossing the street, we also confirmed the traffic on both sides.

Everything is normal.

However......

"Tick-"

A rapid whistle sounded in Li Yan's ears.

"Danger, get out of the way!"

I don't know who shouted. Then......

"Bang-"

It was a very loud crash.

The moment the impact sounded, Li Yan only felt that the sky was spinning, and when his vision recovered, he saw a sky squeezed by inky clouds.

Little by little, the ink color turned red and was gradually replaced by black.

Red, that's because Li Yan's iris began to bleed.

Black, that's because Li Yan's consciousness is gradually disappearing.

At this moment, Li Yan could no longer feel the existence of his body.

The only thing he felt at this time was cold!

Cold like never before!

The rain washed over his body, taking away what little heat was left in his body.

The surrounding pedestrians began to surround and appeared in Li Yan's blurred vision.

Li Yan couldn't hear what they were saying. But he could sense a sense of panic around him.

And his cold body felt a warmth.

Li Yan turned his head with difficulty and saw the asphalt road close at hand.

It's being dyed red.

The blood that flowed out of Li Yan's body.

At this time, Li Yan finally understood what happened - a car accident.

It was just a sudden accident. There are at least 100,000 such accidents every year in this country, so the number of deaths is also more than 50,000.

Li Yan has just become a member of the more than 50,000 people this year.

[I'm so unwilling! 】

This was Li Yan's last thought, and then he lost consciousness.

…………

"Finally dead?"

In the driver's seat of the truck that overturned on his side, a middle-aged greasy uncle with a stubble face calmly took out a pack of freshly opened cigarettes from his arms, smoked one of them, and lit it.

He took a deep breath in intoxication and spat out a smoke ring.

"It's not easy!"

Thinking of his past, the uncle felt sad.

Since ten years ago, he has been ordered to assassinate Li Yan.

Add heavy metals, fine blades, poisons and the like to the water Li Yan drinks; When Li Yan crossed the road or walked on the side of the road, he drove to hit him; went to work as a chef in the restaurant that Li Yan often went to, and added ingredients to the dishes he ordered.

A few months ago, when Li Yan was alone at home, he also filled Li Yan's home with gas, causing a gas explosion.

In the past ten years, he has used all kinds of means to carry out tens of thousands of assassinations under the premise of "not affecting the world", but Li Yan was lucky to escape.

If he doesn't succeed this time, he is ready to launch an RPG at Li Yan's house.

But it's okay......

Li Yan was finally killed by him, it was not easy!

"I'm also considered meritorious, right?"

The uncle's words seemed to be talking to himself, as if he was asking someone.

After a while, the uncle smiled.

The cigarette burned out, and the uncle's body turned into a pile of ashes. Only cigarette butts still burning in the cab can prove that he existed.

………………

This is somewhere where in the world does not exist, where nothing exists, not even the concepts of space and time. The only thing that exists here is a vast "river" that glows brightly and clusters of light that constantly appear out of thin air and merge into the "river".

These clusters of light emitted a slightly cold, silvery-white glow. They also don't have a fixed shape or size, because they change all the time.

And among the tens of billions of light clusters, there is a unique existence. The light on its body is a symbol of noble gold!

[What's wrong with me?] 】

[By the way, I'm dead.] 】

[So where am I now?] So dark? 】

[Do people have souls? I'm in a soul state right now? Or did I cross over? 】

……

In the golden light cluster, countless thoughts flashed in an instant.

Then the golden light group changed, not in an irregular way, but in the form of a human being.

First the torso, then the limbs, and finally the head.

When the light group completely completes the transformation, the identity of this "human" is also about to be revealed.

He is Li Yan, who just died in a car accident!

[Huh? 】

Li Yan, who was curled up in a ball, slowly opened his eyes.

As soon as you see it, you can see a silvery white "river" flowing in the distance.

[This ......]

Seeing the spectacular scene in front of him, Li Yan subconsciously opened his mouth wide, wanting to speak but finding that he couldn't speak.

Li Yan looked down, his body was translucent and transparent.

What is this place? 】

【Primordial Land!】 The beginning of everything is also the end of everything! 】

An unfamiliar voice suddenly sounded in Li Yan's mind. It was a language that Li Yan had never heard before, but when he heard it, Li Yan could understand its meaning.

Li Yan was taken aback and looked around in horror.

But all around is an endless darkness except for the light and the "river".

After a long time, Li Yan calmed down.

[That...... What is that? 】

Li Yan stretched out his hand and pointed to the "river" and asked tentatively in his heart.

【River of Origins!】 】

Sure enough, that voice appeared in Li Yan's mind again.

[What kind of strange place have I come to? 】

"Primordial", "Origin"! Just hearing the name is very bullish.

[Then why did I come here?] 】

This time, the voice didn't answer him.

【??? 】

[So what are you?] 】

[Can you send me back to Earth?] My mom and dad are still waiting for me at home! 】

【Hey...... Are you my system? 】

Li Yan asked several questions in a row, but he couldn't even hear a sound.

【Hiss ......】

Li Yan scratched his head.

What should I do next? 】

Li Yan held up his chin in thought. Thinking of this, he was confused.

There are four things here—darkness, a cluster of light, a source river, and a translucent state!

Wait, what are those clusters of light?] Could it be that they are souls like me? 】

[Yes!] 】

All right! The voice bubbled again.

And now Li Yan has found his goal.

[What is the function of "Origin"?] 】

[Reclaim the soul.] 】

Really!

Li Yan smiled, his conjecture confirmed—the voice would only answer questions related to this place.

[Wait, reclaim the soul...... Isn't that a bad situation now? 】

The smile on Li Yan's face suddenly froze.

He's a soul now, too, doesn't that mean—

[Am I also a recyclable? 】

[Can you be specific?] 】

[Hey......! 】
