Chapter 1: The Timebringer Reinvents Order
In the noodle restaurant downstairs, the familiar Yellow Dog sits at the door. I've spent an unknown amount of time turning day and night upside down. "Boss, beef noodles with eggs." The boss is a man from the north, and when he sits down, he brags that he once served as an officer in the defense department in the capital.
I was one of the few people who came in the middle of the night to eat, and it was always beef noodles with eggs. This time, the boss didn't return to the back kitchen to clean up and close, so he sat across from me, staring at the TV. He took a big puff of noodles, and when the boss saw that I didn't speak, he lit a cigarette and slowly spoke: "Hey, you see what happened on the news again, country M has extracted quantum technology from the ruins of Ukadan, and that cannon display, boss." People say that it is to develop technology to maintain the earth, hmph, the devil knows what the situation is, the universe people have not come, and we may be ruled. "I didn't say anything, I continued to eat noodles, and I was honestly hungry.
The boss continued: "Do you believe it or not, our country C is absolutely capable of governing a rule, at that time the chief was in the car, I heard when I was driving, we have a group, specializing in the study of ancient ruins, in this regard, our ancestor is not lagging behind!" Hey, when the time comes, I'll be the first to go back to the army! "The boss's daughter-in-law came out to clean up the shop, and when she saw the boss, she glared, as if she had disturbed my dinner. I suddenly spoke, "Boss, do you think there are cosmic people and ancient creatures?" The boss looked at me with a serious face: "Young man, you know that you don't care about state affairs, you have dug up in this TV, such a big bone, such a high stone, people have a way to protect us, you have to thank the country, you know no." ”
The plagues in the Middle East, the extreme cold in Siberia, the harshness of Sidan, and the constant leakage of energy from the earth seem to be expelling humanity and helping rulers to control resources with greater power. The breath of antiquity is being revived. Here is the Earth Star, Seko 1508.
Humanity has gradually adapted to the rapidly changing geography and climate, and my country, C, controls the multinational alliance in the eastern region. Hundreds of countries have collapsed, people like to house more forces in the form of alliances, and only stronger shelters can face unknown dangers. Country C will also give birth to its own organization to protect its territory, to assist the vassal forces, and to counter the existing countries, of which I was a member.
The noodle shop is not far from my residence, and I have been doing nothing in my hometown since I came back from the organization, and I have enjoyed this time when I was treated without worrying about food and clothing. The giant screen outside is still showing the recruitment messages of different forces, in this era, most of the labor has been replaced by the program production, the factory no longer employs workers, not so much that people's work is more liberalized, but for the output value, the requirements for capacity are higher, one by one, exchanges, large online platforms determine your supply and demand in the earth. Therefore, capital shows the essence of exploitation, people's positions are more inclined to the service industry, and of course the rich also believe that only people can better serve people.
My residence is in the private area of the community, which is a one-person area, which is the so-called rich area. The road to the inside is not long, today is also a little slow, the cold pavement comes, I have to say that the environment is worse than before, because there is one more planet in the Cajia group, we don't know when it was captured by the energy star of the new favorite, closer to us, the climate of the earth star is more extreme, I thought we would not adapt, I did not expect that human beings can actually accept this environment, although some animals are extinct, but plants began to grow wildly, and the increase in minerals makes human society more rapid development. I walked to the door and opened it with a personal chip familiarly, the room was large, it was a mansion, I had a velvet bed, it was a creature that became extinct more than ten years ago, and now this comfortable personal item can be auctioned at a very high price, I like to rest, so this is my more precious item.
Falling out of bed, I was supposed to play games and communicate with my last remaining online friends. But today I want to sleep again, maybe my body is getting more and more mediocre, no high-intensity work, no burden training for the body, I closed my eyes, in an extremely heavy feeling, I fell into a deep sleep, this is very uncomfortable, but it is difficult to wake up, the body seems to be pressed by many people, soft and heavy, I gradually seem to be swallowed, and finally even the fingertips are very heavy. I'm flustered and want to give off my mental power to interrupt, I can check my brain I can't do it, because all the functions are reporting that I'm normal, am I having nightmares?
Suddenly there was a violent shaking, and someone was shaking me! I used to be a maid, and I immediately wanted to quickly touch the vision to understand the situation, but I found that I couldn't move my body at all, and it became especially difficult to even open my eyes! Am I really thinking too highly of myself? It's still the other party's ability above me, and he has completely controlled me at the moment. The shaking became violent, my cranial nerves seemed to be rejecting this feeling, and I became a little helpless, I didn't expect that I would have today, and I was also planted in a pit. There was a violent white light in my eyes, was it an interrogation, and my body slowly stretched out under the stimulation around me, and I saw the scene in front of me through a slit.
"Lu Li, how long are you going to sleep! Your teacher's phone calls are all at home! "I was hit in the body, and I could finally feel able to move, and when I opened my eyes, I saw that it was a very kind woman. I didn't understand the situation, so the woman spoke again: "Lu Li, did you have a trouble with your classmates at school, why don't you go to school?" "As I gradually woke up, I began to go from stunned to frightened. Where is this, I seem to be in an old era decorated planetary dwelling, I pushed the woman away, and quickly looked into the mirror in the room, it was my body, nothing wrong? I'm not, in Seko 1508. "Lu Li, are you nervous!"
I seemed to understand something, I must have been dragged into the memories of the planet that once existed by some master who was good at anesthetizing nerves, and if I couldn't get out effectively, I would die like a vegetative person. "You are?" I asked curiously, "I'm your mother!" "I seem to have been greeted in an unknown way, but it doesn't sound like anything wrong with that." Mother? What's wrong with me? "My previous memories are getting more and more blurry, except for going downstairs to eat a bowl of noodles, I can't remember what happened, and the memory of this dimension slowly occupies my brain, I am a 17-year-old high school student, and I was disgusted by many students at school, just because I don't like to talk, and even read some books that others don't understand. I deliberately didn't go to school today, I don't think I matter!
"Mom, I told my classmates that there is another earth in this world, and they all laughed at me, saying that I don't understand science, no wonder I can't read well, do you believe me!" I suddenly couldn't help but say something like this. My "mother" said to me kindly: "I believe what Xiaolu says, but Xiaolu wants to make your classmates believe that you have to put it into practice, because they are not your family, you have to reach out to them, instead of blindly allowing others to accept your feelings." Xiaolu study hard, become a scientist, and let others know that what you say is right. "I am amused by my childish words, not to mention another earth, and what is so strange about me saying that there are hundreds of millions of life forms like me, and that human beings in this era seem to be still in contact with the first stage of material society. But I couldn't honor my original idea to carry it out, I felt like a robot being manipulated. After a simple breakfast, I was pulled into the car by my "mother" and taken to school. I used to go to school, and I vaguely remember that school was a place where a group of people received a homogeneous education, where there were no wise men. And my current body is extremely weak, I can't do anything but accept the arrangement, how can I escape this trap, I have deleted all the information, why would anyone still find me? Me, what the hell was I thinking? Isn't it time for me to go to school, it's over, I skipped class yesterday in anger, and I didn't do my homework at all!
Because I was late, I was really standing at the door of the class, my luck was very bad, I met the math teacher in the first class in the morning, she was a fat middle-aged woman, my math was very poor, and in my impression, the math teacher would only take care of the students with good grades in the class, I was naturally a thorn in her side, damn, if it was a Chinese teacher, he would not let me stand at the door when I was late, and I would be seen by my classmates in other classes after class!
My fear didn't come to pass, because I happened to meet the principal and the dean of students who were on patrol, and I was taken away. It's a mockery, I pride myself on not looking down on those rigid books, I love Iron Man, science maniacs like Tesla, and there will be many celebrities in my world who contribute in the field of knowledge without completing their studies! In the principal's office, I stood in a panic, which didn't match the gorgeous scene, and the principal didn't rush to reprimand me, but I panicked even more, could I be ordered to quit school by the principal because of this trivial matter, then "Mom" would be very sad.
The principal stood for a while before slowly turning to me and speaking, "Student Lu Li, why did you appear in my domain?" ”
"Mr. Lu Li, why did you appear in my field?" The majesty of the principal made me feel uncomfortable, I had never seen such a serious elder, and I didn't know how to answer: "School, principal, I was just late for school, and I didn't do anything against school discipline." The headmaster spoke slowly, "Oh, have you been affected by the magnetic energy of this realm?" Lu Li, you may have some questions that you still need to find answers to by yourself. What I can tell you, though, is that watch the time, he will take everything from you! "What does this mean? Why did the principal suddenly say such a thing to me today? I asked, "What is the meaning of your words, headmaster?" Am I not your student? The headmaster's eyes changed from serious to frightened: "No, you are beyond my realm of knowledge, I have maintained order here for thousands of years, I can't let me fall short because of you, I will be punished by order!" ”
The headmaster took out a book from the shelf, took out a necklace in one of the pages, and put it around my neck, "May the Lord protect you and you will find the way to the guide." ”
It was a prismatic metal pendant, and a burst of white mist suddenly dispersed after wearing it, I am a servant! My eyes went from immature to deep, and someone could plot against me, and the pride of the past made me angry.
I stared at the headmaster standing across from me and asked, "Tell me how to go back, or say who is in charge." The headmaster didn't look me squarely, he sat down slowly, and sighed: "You go, all I can help you with is to retrieve the previous memories, this chain is not a product of this world like you, so it can guarantee that you will not be affected, as for who I am, and what my gods want to do, I can't answer truthfully." I don't even think it's the gods who want you to come, it's likely that another being is destroying the world. ”
Gods? I haven't heard a name in a long time, I like to read books, and I know more about this knowledge, "Clues, give me clues to find the gods!" "At this point, I can only find out for myself. The headmaster laughed and ignored me, I was a little angry, this old man didn't seem to be a friendly person, and his words from the beginning to the end were to let me go, and I didn't receive any information.
The old man reminded me: "I don't care how capable you used to be, you are just an ordinary person now, I advise you to find a suitable way to go back, whether it is the cycle of life and death, time travel or seeking help from the gods, otherwise it will not be good for you and me." ”
He's right, I can't seem to use any abilities in this world at the moment, and I mostly rely on combat suits to maintain my strong combat power. When I returned to the classroom, I was ridiculed by my classmates, and it was not an honor to be called out by the principal. I sat listlessly at the last table, which seemed to be the representative of the unpopular classmates, and I had no idea of what I wanted to know about this old-fashioned course, and I spent the day in a groggy state.
I left the school in a hurry, and when I left, I saw the principal standing upstairs staring at me with unkind eyes, maybe he hoped that I would not appear in the school tomorrow, and at the same time there were many pairs of unkind eyes looking at me, I had an inexplicable feeling, as if my secret was not only seen by the principal, the world here is not so simple.
When I got home, my mother was still just as enthusiastic and prepared a meal and waited for me. It's been a long time since I've eaten this kind of family meal, and the last time was at a colleague's house. After eating, I hid in the room alone, I first tried to open several public networks on the computer that the earth star is familiar with, and found that it was actually the same path, but the picture was very weird, like unpolished stones, which convinced me that there was a necessary connection between the two worlds, so I boldly entered the hidden domain contact method. Sure enough, it exists! It's just that it's still a superpower's co-signed database, and my brain is fortunately not stuck in this world, and in four or five minutes I've browsed the website, I have collected a large number of photos, and used drawing software to make a rough mind map for myself, and the next time will determine whether I can escape, or whether I will be found and executed by an unknown trial.
Aliens, totems, bizarre supernatural events, crazy religious acts, where do I start? The first step I need to do now is to find a god or an agent, and maybe the headmaster is my first step out of the fog. While I was still deep in thought, my communicator rang, startling me. It's late at night, so who will send me a message?
