Jingle Bell Bell ~~~~~!

When the alarm clock rang, Zhang Taibai got up from the bed with sleepy eyes, stretched his waist before sitting on the edge of the bed, and casually turned off the switch of the bedside alarm clock.

"Whew-"

After exhaling deeply, I finally woke up.

It's half past six in the morning, and the window is just getting a faint light, not too bright.

Inadvertently, Zhang Taibai's eyes swept to the calendar hanging on the wall directly opposite the bed, and he was stunned for a moment, and only after a while did he come back to his senses and shook his head and smiled bitterly, "It's been more than two months, but why does it still feel like a dream?" ”

……

More than two months ago, Zhang Taibai was still studying an old ancient book as thick as a fist at his home on Earth One, but he fainted for some reason.

When he woke up again, he was already on the earth where he is now.

In order to distinguish it from the original earth, Zhang Taibai named the original earth 'Earth One' and this earth 'Earth No. 2'.

In this 'Earth No. 2', although he is also called Zhang Taibai, he has a completely different life experience and experience from 'Earth No. 1'.

In his previous life, he was half an orphan, and his parents died in an accident when he was young, and his grandfather raised him alone. Fortunately, his grandfather himself is quite wealthy, running a time-honored pawn shop, so he can't support him.

However, when he was twenty-one years old, his grandfather unfortunately passed away, and naturally, the pawn shop passed into his name.

Zhang Taibai, who has been familiar with this line of work since he was a child, quickly entered the role and successfully adapted to the identity of the pawn shop owner.

That's five years.

It wasn't until he was twenty-six years old that he received an old ancient book that made him feel very unusual at a very low price, that there was this bizarre 'soul piercing' incident later.

Well, this kind of thing of 'soul wearing' is indeed not an incomprehensible thing for him who has read all kinds of online articles, and it can even be said to be a bit old-fashioned. In these years, whenever you want to tell a story, if you don't wear it, the protagonist is embarrassed to say hello when he goes out.

But the question is...... That's what the hell is in the book!

To be reasonable, Comrade Ye Gong will be scared when he sees Long Shang, Zhang Taibai has never imagined that this kind of thing will happen to him, and he has not even been crooked.

This came so suddenly, and he was really stunned at the time.

It took him three days to accept that it wasn't a dream, thanks to the memories of the body he had received...... By receiving the memory of the body itself, Zhang Taibai realized that he was actually an orphan in this world.

Moreover, compared to him on 'Earth One', he is even more miserable here, he doesn't even know who his parents are, and he doesn't have a grandfather to rely on, and he grew up in the 'St. Agnes Orphanage' in New York since he was a child.

What's even more tragic is that he has never been adopted for so many years.

However, Seon lost his horse, and he didn't know if it was a blessing.

This tragic upbringing has also cultivated him into a very assertive person.

After leaving the orphanage at the age of eighteen, he did not choose to continue to take out loans to study in college, but went directly into society. After six or seven years of struggling in society, he successfully saved a lot of money and built a very distinctive café in the Brooklyn district of New York, and finally lived a relatively stable petty bourgeois life.

Compared with their peers, except for those second generations who were born with a golden key, it is absolutely rare to have this net worth in their twenties.

However, these experiences were not the reason why Zhang Taibai felt unbelievable, nor was it the real reason why he distinguished this place from the original earth.

The reason why he was so sure that this was not the original Earth was - he remembered the earth-shattering battle that happened in New York City half a year ago!!

Thor, Hulk, Iron Man, Captain America...... These familiar names really exist in the reality of this 'Earth 2'!

Even in this Zhang Taibai's memory, there is still a picture of that day!

At first, he wondered if there was some kind of paranoia in this body, and mistook movies and comics for reality. But after he searched casually on the Internet, he found that it was really not that he had any paranoia, but that all this had happened.

Especially the earth-shattering battle half a year ago, everyone knows about it.

And then he also came to a conclusion that made him a little unbelievable, this 'Earth 2' is simply the Marvel universe world on 'Earth One' that only exists in fantasy!

He's really 'soul pierced'......

also came to such a world where superheroes and supercriminals run all over the ground......

In his previous life, he was also a two-and-a-half-dimensional otaku, and he was no stranger to Marvel at all, although he couldn't memorize all the plots backwards, but he basically knew everything about it.

Therefore, he knows too well how painful an ordinary person is in this world.

Although those superheroes are desperately trying to save the earth again and again, criminals and demons from all walks of life are like they have nothing to do, thinking all day long that they can't get along with the whole world, and they want to subvert all mankind at every turn, and even want to kill the earth directly......

The more he knows the details of this world, the more Zhang Taibai feels that the egg hurts.

Because this is not a problem that he can guarantee that he will not be affected by leaving New York, even if he runs away to his hometown in this world, he still can't avoid coming.

It's embarrassing.

The earth is so big, how far can you run?

Staying in New York, there are still heroes from all walks of life who are putting aside that deterrence and really running away, who knows if one day they will be killed by some criminals who can't even name them?

Therefore, after experiencing a series of inner struggles, Zhang Taibai finally decided not to change the original life trajectory for the time being, and continued to live in this capacity.

Of course, there was another reason for making him up to this decision.

On the fifth day after he came to this world, he inadvertently discovered that the culprit who had caused him to 'pass through' to this miserable world seemed to have come with him!

Yes, it was the old ancient book that he had collected at a low price.

The name of the ancient book is very interesting, it is called "Taibai Sword Dictionary".

At that time, a large part of the reason why Zhang Taibai accepted it was because the name of the ancient book collided with his own. Because it stands to reason that his pawn shop doesn't accept this kind of inexplicable broken book, even if this broken book does look a little old.

Before the incident, Zhang Taibai couldn't have imagined that the book he received out of curiosity would actually cause him to 'pass through' to another world.

And when he stumbled upon the "Taibai Sword Dictionary" that actually followed him through, his first reaction was to find out if he could wear it back through this book.

It's not that he's timid, but that he's too clear about how many pounds and taels he has.

Whether it is in his previous life or in this life, he definitely does not belong to the kind of fighter who is powerful and powerful, and if he really fights, he can be knocked out by a random passer-by on the road.

This is the world of superheroes, yes, but he has neither superpowers, nor is he an extraterrestrial god, nor does he have a technological mind that is ahead of the times, and he is not the material to be a superhero in any way, and he is not qualified to be a dog.

What if you are familiar with some 'plot directions'? If you accidentally show too many abnormalities and make people suspicious, your fate in the future will be worse than death.

At the end of the day, this is a world where the big fists have the right to speak.

However, it is a pity that after more than ten days of in-depth research, Zhang Taibai has to admit the fact that this "Taibai Sword Codex" does not seem to have the effect of letting him wear it back and forth.

But it was also through the in-depth study of the "Taibai Sword Codex" that he discovered the true mystery of this book...... It is precisely because of this mystery that Zhang Taibai has a little more confidence in his ability to survive in this crazy world.
