The afterglow of the setting sun illuminates the city and the strangely shaped tower in the center of the city.

Shangdu is a very ordinary third-tier small city, but the surrounding resources are very rich, and it happens to be located in the middle of the four super large maps, so it has attracted countless children of destiny to come and use it as the initial residence of their fortune.

The tall tower in the center of the city is the mercenary union, and countless people come and go every day.

In an ordinary alley not far from the tower, a figure shrouded in black robes hurriedly walked and stopped at the door of a small gray three-story building.

At this time, the door of the small building was open, and it was dark and nothing could be seen inside, and he did not hesitate to push open the fence and step into it.

Airplanes~

A layer of silver ripples suddenly appeared in the position of the door, but it did not block his entry, and it seemed that he was only scanned like a security gate.

When you enter, you suddenly see that the ceiling is not how high, and the stairs spiral upwards, forming a library pattern with a hole in the middle and bookshelves on both sides.

At the door, a young girl in a silver robe, with blond hair shining like gold, was sitting there quietly reading a book.

"Hello, I'm here to hand in the task." Su Hao naturally walked over and said.

Hearing this, the girl closed the thick book, pushed the golden glasses on the bridge of her nose, and then was slightly stunned, and suddenly stood up and showed a surprised smile: "You found the book?" ”

"Well, yes, you're talking about this book of prophecy." Su Hao took out the book from the backpack behind him and handed it to the other party.

There was a mysterious circle engraved on the cover of the book, and he didn't know exactly what it was for, but from some familiar runes and the crystal ball in the center, he could guess that it seemed to be an astrological circle, which is commonly known as prophecy!

He used to be very similar to opening and seeing, but unfortunately there was a spell blockade on it, and he had to use the "key" to open and view, that is, enter the corresponding arcane seal.

If you want to open it violently, you can only get a pile of waste paper, which will not be so simple.

The girl reached out to take the book, her slender fingers gently rubbing the book cover, and her expression was complicated, with nostalgia and fear.

Then he looked at him and asked suspiciously, "How do you know it's called the Book of Prophecy?" ”

"I know a little bit of the ancient human lingua franca. What is the purpose of this book, and is it really a record of the future? Su Hao appropriately showed a curious look.

He learned the language in the prequel game of "Fantasy", that is, the holographic virtual game "Second World".

It took him more than a month to learn this particular language in order to complete an epic quest chain, but it was only equivalent to the English level of a primary school student.

"I see, there are really not many people who know this language."

The girl glanced up and down at Su Hao, and nodded approvingly, "Let's get to know me officially, my name is Li Ya'er, and I am the owner and administrator of this magic library." ”

"Hello, you can call me Charles." Su Hao smiled and stretched out his hand, but the other party did not shake hands with him, so he had to withdraw his hand a little embarrassed.

"There's something strange about you children of destiny...... Do you really want to know something about this book? That could get you in big trouble. The girl put away her smile and looked at him very seriously.

Su Hao nodded: "Of course, as a child of destiny, my biggest hobby is to pursue all unknown things, even if I enter the abyss." ”

Destiny Child is the name given to players by NPC aborigines, which means that it was born with the will of the overworld world, and in order to save the fate of this world, each one has the protagonist's aura bonus.

As a player, he naturally wants to take on the task, how can he refuse?

"I'm a scholar mage, and although I have a high level, I don't have a strong fighting power, so I need your help to travel with me to a place."

The girl did not give the details of the task, but waved her hand, a silver ring on her finger lit up with a faint light, and then took out a book out of thin air.

"Please accept it, this is your reward for completing the task, please come to me at eight o'clock in the morning the day after tomorrow."

"Okay, then I'll leave first, and I'll be on time the day after tomorrow." Su Hao picked up the things and said goodbye to the other party very politely.

These NPCs all have incredible intelligence, otherwise they wouldn't be played by players as real people, and it is still a great benefit to speak politely.

The most important thing is that the other party gave him a treasure, which made him have an unconcealed joy between his eyebrows.

After reaching a no-man's corner, he stood up straight, looked at the void in front of him and said to himself, "Sure to go offline!" ”

The mechanical system prompt sounded in his head: "Please keep the player still for ten seconds, and the countdown to go offline will start for 10 or 9 ...... 3, 2, 1, the player has successfully gone offline! ”

The sound of the system disappeared completely, and everything around him seemed to have faded from a layer of colorful gauze, and everything changed back to its original state in his sight.

The original quaint and dilapidated otherworldly buildings have disappeared one after another, and they have re-entered the modern city.

As the first and only game that can be played in reality, the player can choose to enter the game state, which is also known as "in-game".

You can also quit the game, which is "offline".

When you quit the game, everything is back to normal, and you won't be able to see all kinds of weird monsters and settings.

After all, people still have to live, and it is impossible to be addicted to the game all the time.

…………

After returning home, my sister hasn't come back yet, and even if she does, she won't have a good face for him, so don't worry about it for the time being.

And his parents went out together, and now they should be enjoying the sun and beaches in the Mediterranean, let alone the sun.

After taking a shower, Su Hao, who was dressed in a loose nightgown, sat at the writing desk, logged into the game and took out the book given to him by the girl.

This book is about the same size as a high school Chinese textbook, but it is twice as thick and weighs about three catties, and you can clearly feel the magic fluctuations circulating above.

The book has a dark red cover with an arcane circle pattern printed on the front, which occupies almost half of the cover.

At the bottom is a line of small print - by Liszt.

Liszt, who has the same surname as that girl, is he related?

Su Hao couldn't help but think that as a professional gamer, he habitually looked for some information from various details. But that didn't matter much now, and he sat up straight, reached out and gently turned the first page.

On the parchment-like paper, the first page was empty with only one sentence:

I think, therefore I am ......

This line of words is still used in the ancient lingua franca, and the in-game introduction is a special language with the power of law used by ancient transcendent humans.

What's more special is that the handwriting of this line of words is too sloppy, and each text has some extra patterns attached, which looks like a style of artistic word, not the solemnity he imagined.

He frowned, looking at the line suspiciously, not understanding that the magic book that has always been known for its mystery, solemnity, majesty, etc., could be in this style, could it be just an ordinary magic book containing magical power?

Su Hao felt a little disappointed, although the difference between the two was only one word, the former could store and learn magic, while the latter was only used to record magic-related information, and the value was not the same at all, just like Wang Xizhi's calligraphy and modern prints!

The moon rose, and a little silver light sprinkled through the window, and he rubbed his sour eyes and looked out the window.

Call~

A breeze blew in, and the wind was mixed with a hot and dry smell.

With his chin in his left hand, he recovered from his thoughts, and was surprised to find that he had not heard the slightest sound.

The sound of cars, insects, and even the voices of pedestrians on the road disappeared, and the whole world was silent, and the silence made him feel as if he was alone.

Everything is disappearing, all are retreating, the heaven and earth are so great and all things are disappearing, everything is withering and the world is destroyed, and everything will not exist.

And he stood alone in the endless void, even disappearing himself......

No!

Su Hao let out a low roar and stood up suddenly, seeing that his face was covered with sweat on the glass, his eyes were full of horror, and his mouth was big, looking extremely frightened.

He looked at the time - 21:30.

"If I'm not mistaken, I opened the book at 20:50, where did all the time go?"

Su Hao muttered, looking at the book spread out on the table, and the line of text was still yellow and black in the middle.

I think, therefore I am ......
