Chapter 2 Who Am I? Where am I?
In March 1942, in Brooklyn, New York, Lu Shen looked at the skyscrapers of different styles around him, calmly took a puff of half a cigar that he didn't know where it came from, and his eyes revealed a trace of confusion.
No matter how you recall, the memory that belongs to someone Lu will forever stop at that night, the dilapidated apartment in the sixth ring road of Yanjing, and the moment when the second-hand computer took off a bright blue arc. And just after that moment, Lu fell into complete darkness.
When he regained consciousness again, Lu was stunned to find that he was actually lying on a dilapidated bench in a small park. On the ground beside him, there were a few old newspapers scattered around.
Originally, Lu was still feeling extremely glad that he was not dying, but when he casually glanced at the old newspaper on the ground, Lu fell into a new round of confusion.
It's an old newspaper from two months ago and there's nothing wrong with that.
The problem is that in the upper right corner of the newspaper the date is clearly marked in English: January 1942
Lu subconsciously jumped up from the bench with a carp, clutched the old newspaper, and read it carefully again.
Half an hour later, with half-baked level 4 English, Lu Shen finished reading the newspaper in his hand and had a preliminary understanding of his situation. Of course, that's not good news.
The first thing Lu can be sure of is that this is no longer the Yanjing he is familiar with, or even China, but the United States, New York, and Brooklyn in 1942.
That's right, it was 1942, that is, after the Battle of Pearl Harbor broke out, the embarrassed and angry old United States was finally ready to roll up her sleeves and personally participate in the war. The world has entered the most chaotic time.
figured out the time, Lu Shen's whole person collapsed, although it is easy to be traversed by electricity, why don't you give me a little more time, it's good now, not to mention being inexplicably exiled in a foreign country, and being involved in the most brutal World War II.
However, what made Lu a little relieved was that he had arrived in New York anyway. Throughout World War II, the old United States was the least affected, at least, and it would not die on the battlefield for no reason.
In the midst of uninterrupted self-hypnosis, Lu finally reluctantly accepted the fact that he had traveled to World War II. However, after learning about his situation, Lu Shen couldn't help but sigh that he was still too young, and the sinister nature of this world was far beyond his imagination.
Through the few memories left in his head, Lu Shen judged that his situation should be the soul of the famous one in the online article.
Coincidentally, the original owner of the body is also named Lu Shen, a descendant of Chinese laborers introduced by the United States to develop the West, belonging to the second generation of Chinese, his parents died early, and he has been living in Brooklyn almost since he was twelve or thirteen years old.
As New York City's most chaotic black neighborhood, Brooklyn is almost insulated from the word policing, in stark contrast to its neighbor, Queens.
Surviving in such a chaotic place, the original Lu Shen could not be a good law-abiding citizen. As a Chinese-American, he could only find a job as a handyman in a small Mexican restaurant. The meager salary can only barely support itself.
In order to get better living conditions, in private, this Lu Shen will also mingle in the gangsters in Brooklyn, relying on his ancestral Chinese medicine skills to do some dirty work as a black market doctor.
And just the night before, this Lu Shen received another private job with a good pay. When he finished his mission and happily returned to his apartment, he passed by this small park in the middle of nowhere, but was unlucky enough to encounter a gang fire.
And this unlucky bastard, who ate a black date on the spot, hit the heart, struggled and collapsed on the park bench.
Wait a minute? Our Lu suddenly reacted at this time. Right in the heart? In other words, there is still a bullet in the master's heart? Lu, who seemed to be confused, roared hysterically in his heart.
Am I a dead or a living person?
"That's a good question!" Just as Lu was going crazy, a mechanical voice suddenly came to mind.
"Who? Who's talking? Lu was greatly frightened for a moment, and looked around nervously, but it was six o'clock in the morning, and there was only Lu Shen alone in this remote park, and everything around was quiet, only Lu was looking back and forth nervously around the bench.
Although he was frightened to a great extent, Lu is worthy of being the successor of a new generation of communism who has undergone the baptism of big data in the Internet era. Soon, Lu calmed down on his own, and the brilliance in his eyes became more and more vigorous.
"System?" After slowly calming down, Lu tentatively spoke, and sure enough, he got a response again, although the content made people laugh and cry......
"System? Please don't call me such a low concept, host! The mechanical voice sounded in Lu Shen's heart again, and he explained seriously.
Lu someone's face is black, low? You just called me the host! This is obviously a standard systematic name!
seemed to understand Lu's complaint, and the mechanical voice fell into an awkward silence.
After a few moments, the voice resounded, "Please don't care about these details, host. "If the host likes it, call me the Icecrown Bastion System."
Although the voice was as mechanical as ever, I don't know if it was an illusion, Lu felt as if he had heard a murderous aura.
But soon, Lu left these details behind. And all the attention was cast on the name of the system. After all, the name Icecrown Fortress represents a terrible meaning.
"Icecrown Fortress?" Lu felt that his two rows of white little teeth couldn't stop trembling.
"System...... The Icecrown Fortress you are talking about should not be the 'Icecrown Fortress' that I know," Lu carefully organized his words, and still retained a ten-thousandth luck in his heart.
However, in the next moment, the system ruthlessly shattered the little luck in Lu someone's heart, "Host, your judgment is correct, this system is the 'Ice Crown Fortress' you are familiar with"
Hearing the answer he didn't want to hear, Lu felt that his future had completely lost its color for a moment!
Lu Someone, who had completely turned gray and white, sat on the bench in frustration, took out a cigar from his jacket pocket, slowly lit himself, took a deep breath, and spit out a round smoke ring.
Lu raised his head and looked at the smoke ring melancholy from a forty-five degree angle, with a lot of thoughts in his heart. The smoke rings I spit out are getting better and better!
Wrong! Lu threw the cigar on the ground fiercely, now is not the time to care about whether I am handsome or not, I have more important things to do.
After sorting out his thoughts again, Lu said tremblingly, "That?" System? Can I ask what the purpose of this so-called Icecrown fortress system is? ”
It seemed to be sorting out the language, and after a long silence, the system spoke solemnly, "Of course, it is to assist the host, so that you can become the new great Lich King, and spread the glory of death in this world!" ”
Hearing this shocking answer, Lu didn't seem to be affected in any way. After slowly tidying up his freshman year, Lu showed a decent smile with eight teeth.
"Excuse me? Can I abandon this honorable mission? ”
There was another round of silence, and after five minutes of seconds, the system answered.
"Absolutely." The system's serious mechanical voice sounded like heaven to someone on Lu, "but," the system suddenly changed its words, "The host's current temporary resurrection is a special state attached to the Icecrown Fortress. ”
"If the system is abandoned, the special status will disappear within five minutes. Please make sure if you want to give up the system! ”
Hearing this, Lu felt that a mouthful of blood could not stop spurting out from his chest, his eyes turned black, and he almost fainted again.
"This time, the finished bird is going to be completely bound to this cheat daddy's system!" Lu's eyes revealed deep despair and confusion.
Who am I? Where am I? What am I going to do?
