Chapter 9: Reincarnation (Suiren)
Due to family reasons, Cheng Lin had no expectations for the future when he was a child.
After the death of his mother, he became more and more misanthropic.
The manifestation of misanthropy is that he is not very happy to socialize, likes to be alone, does not talk much in front of outsiders, is very low-key, loves fantasy, although there are so many ways to entertain online, but still often feels low, boring, and has no interest in anything.
This also caused him to wander on the fringes of his classmates.
The same table once ridiculed him for being a Buddha, but Cheng Lin didn't feel like a Buddha at all.
He has only reached the age of 20 this year, and he has already made a plan for his future life.
Anyway, the father who is far away abroad has a good career, and he gives him a lot of living expenses every month, Cheng Lin's original plan was to mix in college, get a job, and not get married, just mix it for the rest of his life.
As long as there is peace.
But now, suddenly, he realizes that a peaceful life may become a luxury.
"What happens when a group of supermen suddenly appear in a society?"
Cheng Lin felt that this was a very serious question.
It's fine to say that these supermen are less powerful, but once their force can one day crush a modern army.
That...... If you don't do it, some careerists will appear.
The course of civilization may be led astray by these people.
Not to mention far away, just talking about those loose cultivators really threatens the lives of ordinary people like Cheng Lin.
The scene of the big fireball constantly reappearing in front of his eyes, making Cheng Lin suddenly have a strong sense of crisis.
The world is about to change!
It's really going to change!
What to do?
Walking out of the hospital gate, it was already late at night outside, and Cheng Lin was still thinking about these questions in his mind.
The people of Triss arranged for the doctor to give him a physical examination, and the result was a slight burn, and he went back to recuperate, as for the rest...... Cheng Lin judged that there should be no other inspection by observing words and colors.
Naturally, he wasn't stupid enough to reveal anything himself.
The rain had stopped, the dark clouds had dispersed, and suddenly there was starlight falling, Cheng Lin looked up a few times, and his originally confused heart suddenly settled down.
He suddenly remembered the blue icon on the computer desktop, and felt as if he was holding something in his empty palm.
After hailing a taxi, Cheng Lin drove away.
In a window of the inpatient department behind him, the little lapel who was in charge of checking him also called Shi Jin's phone.
"Yes, there is nothing anomalous, he is not awakened."
"Well, a slight burn, it's possible that the bursting fireball just grazed his body."
"Yes, this kid's life is really big, he escaped death, and he has been warned in terms of secrecy."
"Oh yes, here's an interesting thing...... You can't guess it, his name is Cheng Lin. β
"Yes, I was shocked when I heard it, do you think it's a coincidence? Hahaha. β
Hanging up the phone, the little lapel left this little thing behind.
Even though he was surprised when he knew Cheng Lin's name, he ...... Again, no one would associate that mysterious name with a student, even if it was the same name.
At most, it's just a little more memorable.
ββββββ
After returning home, Cheng Lin did not turn on the computer immediately, but went to rest first.
If you really want to start that civilization deduction again, you also need to cultivate your spirit.
It's just that when he woke up the next morning, Cheng Lin learned a new news.
The projection of the ruins of that city has disappeared!
In the class group, Sun Xiao's words were convincing:
"It's gone! I heard that it was early in the morning, and the ruins faded again, and soon became a projection again, getting fainter and fainter, and by dawn in the morning, it was completely gone! β
It is very strange that Cheng Lin was not very surprised when he got the news.
I searched the Internet and found that the ruins of this city in the world have also disappeared again.
This once again sparked discussion among netizens.
I heard that the most regrettable thing is that the fire cultivators in the government department are all depressed because they have lost their spiritual land for cultivation.
This time, Cheng Lin also figured out some routines.
"It seems that the deduced picture is only manifested for a while, and then it will disappear."
Cheng Lin muttered to himself, feeling that this thing was getting more and more interesting.
After eating breakfast to his heart's content, Cheng Lin dressed neatly, and finally sat in front of the computer again and clicked on the icon.
Yes, he thought about it and decided to pin his hopes on this mysterious procedure.
Society has obviously become less secure, and in order to protect himself, he can only find ways to become stronger.
However, since he had not awakened and could not enter the world of cultivators, Cheng Lin could only rely on this mysterious procedure.
"A simple task that doesn't give me an attribute reward, I can resist that kind of powerful flame attack, I don't know what a more difficult task can give me."
Cheng Lin stared at the screen and took a deep breath, his eyes lit up a little.
Yes, he was sure that the task would get harder.
Aren't all the same games on the Internet?
In the novice period, at most, you will be asked to go to the village to kill a few chickens or something, and after you level up, you will have to poke the wild boar explosion artifact.
He knows this routine!
The interface of the starry sky background still exudes a dull meaning, and under the deduction button, the line of words is clearly visible.
[At every moment, there are a million possibilities for the direction of civilization]
"I'd like to see what else is possible!"
Cheng Lin's eyes were certain, and he decisively clicked the deduction button!
The window of the room suddenly became white, and the interior was filled with bright light.
There was a slight tremor under my feet.
Cheng Lin didn't move, only to see the screen suddenly go dark.
At the same time, familiar information appeared in the mind:
[Begin to deduce the direction of civilization in this world......]
γDeduction ......γ
[Chapter: Reincarnation (Suijin Clan)]
[The chapter will open in 10 seconds...... 10γ9γ8β¦β¦γ
With experience, Cheng Lin stood up slowly this time, came to the window, and looked out.
The moment when the countdown ends.
I saw that the city suddenly lit up in the early morning, and the brightness of the sun in the sky rose rapidly again.
Billboards and street trees burned again.
Everything is so familiar.
Cheng Lin couldn't help but show a stunned look on his face.
The scene outside the window is obviously the scene from the previous chapter, what's the matter?
Isn't this chapter "Reincarnation (Suiren)"?
Why is it the fire of heaven and the world?
The doubts in my heart were unanswered, and the scene outside the window continued, almost no different from the last time I saw it.
The city was destroyed in the heat, followed by another global torrential rain that lasted for three months.
After the rain, there are only charred ruins of the city outside, the extinction of life, and the silence of the earth.
The only difference is that this process happens very quickly, much faster than last time.
It only took more than ten seconds to complete the process of destroying the world.
And then, a new change took place.
[You stand in front of the window and see that the earth swept by the heat has become a ruin, and there is no life on the surface]
[However, all this will not last long, the continuous rain around the world will moisten the earth, the existence of water is the basis of life and reproduction, with water, there is vitality]
The information in Cheng Lin's mind slowly emerged, this time, perhaps because of his experience, Cheng Lin was more accustomed to this information, and it felt as if someone was whispering in his ear, as if he was narrating, and even heard a little bit of Zhao Zhongxiang's flavor from it.
[You stand still, with some expectation rising in your heart, continue to watch, and the planet does continue to run, and in the blink of an eye, another ten years have passed]
The light outside the window changed rapidly, the picture outside the window accelerated rapidly, and Cheng Lin keenly captured that it had rained several times in the past ten years, and there were also a few snowfalls, and the snow after the end seemed to be extraordinarily heavy.
Snowflakes are as big as a mat, covering the blackened and devastated earth in white.
Unfortunately, the picture flickered too fast, and he couldn't see it clearly.
In the blink of an eye, the snow melted, and ten years passed, but the scenery outside the window didn't seem to change at all.
"That's not right! There are changes! β
Cheng Lin suddenly noticed that the ruins outside the window seemed to have changed slightly, and the ruin material, which was originally not high, suddenly seemed to be raised by some kind of force.
No, to be precise, gathering.
Cheng Lin noticed that the terrain of the ruins outside the window had quietly changed slightly, which meant that there may have been earthquakes and other movements in the past ten years, which caused the terrain of the area to change.
[What you suddenly discovered, it puzzled you, but it became clearer and clearer for many years to come]
As soon as the sound fell, the scene outside the window suddenly changed strangely.
If the ruins are a picture, the solidified matter is black, and the sky background is bright, then suddenly, Cheng Lin found that both colors have faded, and an almost transparent presentation has appeared, and then, the gray ruins have slowly turned into pure color blocks, and these light gray color blocks are more and more, filling the entire picture outside the window.
For a moment, Cheng Lin seemed to see a dense group of mountains standing outside the window, and then only a picture of a mountain peak was left in his mind, and then, he even felt that he had lost the ability to capture the scene.
It wasn't until he suddenly noticed that the window was suddenly blurred, and there was a screen "snowflake" like an old-fashioned TV set, that he came back to his senses.
At the same time, a new hint appeared in my mind:
[90,000 years have passed]
Cheng Lin: "......"
