Volume 1 The Beginning of Everything Chapter 13 Renunciation
"Where did the light come from, it's so dazzling."
This was Liao Yu's first feeling after regaining consciousness.
He closed his eyes and shook his neck slightly from side to side, trying to sit up his upper body for the first time. However, consciousness passed through the nervous system to the limbs of the body, and it was like a mud cow entering the sea, and only the slight fluttering feedback of the fingertips allowed him to confirm that he had not lost control of his body.
Liao Yu opened his eyelids a little, and the warm sunlight outside the window pierced his eyes, and he subconsciously turned his head to the wall, and then stared at the snow-white wall without focus. It wasn't until half a minute later that Liao Yu slowly gathered his gaze, frowned and blinked vigorously, gradually adapted to the environment in the room, and began to turn his head to look around the entire room.
This is a relatively old-fashioned room, judging from the overall decoration, Liao Yu preliminarily estimated that this should be a ward of this era. There is no medical composite alloy plate that Liao Yu is familiar with, no virtual screen that comes at the moment, and no artificial intelligence medical machine that he is familiar with. There were only snow-white concrete walls, clean white sheets and duvet covers, and medical equipment scattered around the room. Through a few sparse branches outside the window, he could clearly see the signs of the inpatient department and the emergency department.
Seeing that he was in the hospital, Liao Yu's heart was relieved of most of it, he didn't think that those zombie presidents were so kind, and he was suddenly generous and kind enough to save his life.
He stared blankly at the yellowed ceiling, emptying his mind and letting himself loose in this strange and dangerous world, until the nurse's push of the door pulled him back into a world that was not his.
"Ah, you're awake, are you feeling better?" A beautiful nurse with long brown hair greeted Liao Yu with a smile on her face, while her right hand began to write something on the board.
"Oh, it's better, may I ask, here is it?"
"This is the National Hospital of New York, and you were brought here yesterday afternoon by S.H.I.E.L.D. agents. You've been asleep for most of the day, and it's four o'clock in the afternoon. Your injuries are serious but not fatal, and as long as they are treated well, they won't affect the rest of your life. Miss Nurse obviously had enough experience in dealing with a patient like Liao Yu who had just woken up, and she dispelled Liao Yu's doubts in just a few words.
Later, after learning from the nurse that all the expenses would be borne by S.H.I.E.L.D., even though Liao Yu didn't care about the wealth of this world, he was relieved for no reason.
After washing, Liao Yu was holding the hamburger at this time, looking at the tablet in his arms. However, his mind was not on the tablet at all, but devoted himself to the flame mark on his chest.
The moment he became conscious, he was pleasantly surprised to find that his task had finally reached the completion standard, and the task completion level had become 5. Theodore Roosevelt's death counts as a complete mission, while President Lincoln, who Liao Yu missed, counts as only 0.5 completions.
Liao Yu couldn't help but secretly scolded Hantang in his heart, he really didn't have any tolerance, and made it clear that he wanted to squeeze himself to death.
Fortunately, in the end, Liao Yu's move to take away the magic book earned him a degree of completion, and from this point of view, the magic book should have fallen into the hands of S.H.I.E.L.D. and superheroes.
As soon as the line of life and death hanging over his head was gone, Liao Yu felt that his body and mind suddenly relaxed, and the breath he was holding in his heart was also loosened, and he didn't immediately ask for the next relevant information.
"Now that my mission is complete, when will I be able to return to the original world?" Liao Yu silently said in his heart, he very cleverly used the question of when to return, not whether he could return.
"Flame Seal has detected that Explorer A12333 has completed its mission, and you can now choose to return to the original world at any time without combat."
Liao Yu, who received an accurate answer, finally breathed a sigh of relief, as for not being able to use the point of returning to his own world in an instant to do some extreme actions, Liao Yu had already expected it in his heart. However, out of caution, Liao Yu immediately asked Yan Yin for a detailed definition of non-combat.
After that, Liao Yu lowered his head and was silent for a long time, and then asked in his heart: "What is the ratio of time passage between the two worlds, and how long has the real world passed since I went back to the real world." ”
"Since the mission world assigned to Hantang is not the same, the proportion of time lost in each mission world is not the same as the world you are in. After each mission returns, the real world passes for a very short period of time, ranging from a few seconds to twenty hours. ”
Liao Yu, who received the answer, was overjoyed when he heard this, he was originally worried that if he shuttled through time and space like this, the time flow rate of the two worlds would be different, so that there would be a vicissitudes of life, a day in the sky and a thousand years on the earth, and he was afraid that he would regret it for the rest of his life.
Now it seems that Hantang's mastery of time and space is far beyond Liao Yu's expectations, and for a while, he has a deep awe of Hantang in his heart. He really couldn't imagine what kind of behemoth an organization or creature with such terrifying technological capabilities was, and at the same time, he felt that he was afraid that his life would be in his hands for a short time.
Liao Yu closed his eyes lightly and muttered, "It's okay......"
With the fatigue brought about during the recovery from the injury, Liao Yu, who now has a safe way out, immediately felt a strong sense of sleep.
However, the pressure of reality made him accustomed to suppressing thoughts that he shouldn't have at the moment, and after a few breaths, Liao Yu opened his eyes again, picked up the tablet in his hand as a cover, and continued to ask.
"What is the reward for the mission, and how do I get it?" Since he has taken such a big risk, Liao Yu always wants to know what the reward is. It's not that he didn't think about crossing the river and demolishing the bridge after Hantang, but since he was powerless to resist all this, it was better to ask something meaningful generously.
"The rewards for this mission will be settled after you return to the Cold Pond space, and will be distributed to your Flame Seal after settlement. Some of the additional rewards have been distributed in advance, whether Explorer A12333 is checking this part of the rewards now. ”
"Huh?"
"In view of the fact that the seizure of the primary necromantic magic book by Explorer A12333 has greatly reduced the strength of President Hua Shengton, the White House will not be destroyed, and Agent Preston will be able to retain his body and not enter Deadpool's mind in the form of a soul for the time being. Therefore, the Explorer A12333 merit value is rewarded with 1 point, which improves the Explorer A12333's physique, and increases its magic affinity and resistance. ”
The achievement of merit points was a surprise for Liao Yu, and the improvement in his physique made him guess that it should be a reward based on his act of capturing the magic book.
Liao Yu couldn't help but think differently about what reward he should have received if he had snatched Taft's bathtub at that time, "Soap that can never be picked up?" ”
I don't know if it's because the improvement of his physique is not obvious, Liao Yu took a closer look and didn't notice any difference between himself and the past.
Putting aside these rewards for the time being, Liao Yu began to think about what he should do next, and the only zombie presidents in the mission were Hua Shengton and Taft, whom he had seen that day.
Liao Yu subconsciously stretched out his index finger and slid it on the tablet screen at will, his gaze wandering left and right.
Go on? Or is it a regression?
Hua Shengton has now lost that crucial magic book, and if he can take this opportunity to take out this heavyweight president, the reward will be even greater. Since Hantang has such power, maybe he can solve most of his problems at once......
The afterglow of the setting sun shone obliquely through the yellowed window on Liao Yu's uncertain face, his ten fingers slapping indiscriminately on the tablet on the futon, he pretended to stare at the tablet that he didn't know what it was, but his mind was already immersed in the mystery of his chest.
It wasn't until the glow of the sunset was gradually obscured by the tall buildings that Liao Yu finally made up his mind and decided not to go this time.
It is easy to think about life and death. But now Liao Yu can't figure out Hantang's intentions, and how dare he guarantee that he will be able to return safely from the next mission. Liao Yu knew that he didn't have Liuding Liujia, the apologetic Jialan, and the mysterious old man secretly helped, the only thing he could think about was if he died in Hantang next time, whether he could leave something for his family in this mission.
The decision between the known dangers of the present and the unknown of the future is not as easy to decide as it seems.
Now that the decision had been made, Liao Yu immediately cut off the idea of tracking the mission. However, the remaining time cannot be wasted, Liao Yu learned from Yanyin that the world of each mission is a random decision, and he may return to the current world in the future, so he must collect information in advance.
As the moonlight spread in the ward, Liao Yu had already sorted out the general background of this world, and as for the big event mentioned by Spider-Man, Liao Yu also had a rough impression through the information on the Internet.
According to the available public records, the official explanation is that the abilities of most mutants are gradually disappearing due to some unknown factor, and experts speculate that the genes that dominate their mutant abilities have changed from dominant to recessive. The specific cause of the government has not been found, but the government warns all citizens that the mutant genes may awaken again one day, and hopes that all citizens can live in harmony with the mutants and avoid unnecessary conflicts.
In recent years, all the records of ordinary people related to this show that the mutants around them suddenly lost their mutant abilities one day, and netizens sorted out the corresponding dates for this, and quickly locked the time period of the outbreak of the incident. Within about 7 days, most of the mutants lost their mutant abilities, and in the following month, many familiar mutants also disappeared from people's sight.
There was a lot of discussion about this, some convinced of what the government said, some sympathized with it, and of course, there were many people who gloated and fell into the trap. With the passage of time, people have come to believe that mutants can never return, and that the existence of mutants will become history in the future.
Because the comics are too far away, Liao Yu only vaguely remembers that it seems that this matter started because of the Red Witch Wanda, and the classic sentence "There are no more mutants in the world" also came from this, and the rest of the details can only be investigated after returning to reality.
