Chapter 1 A Guest Comes from Heaven
2015, 12, 7, Monday, fine.
At seven o'clock in the morning, I opened my eyes in a daze, I should say half-open, and my upper and lower eyelids were like a pair of lovers who had been forcibly pulled apart, full of resentment towards me. The sleepiness in my mind kept bewitching my will, like a peerless beauty stripped naked, who didn't want me to leave the gentle land that made people obsessed with falling.
I barely resisted the irresistible temptation, and my somewhat chaotic brain drove my heavy body to roll around on the bed, then reached out from the covers and turned off the alarm clock on the bedside table that woke me up from my sweet dreams.
When my ears finally cleared, the sleepiness that had been temporarily suppressed by the alarm clock came back to me, and it almost broke my will and paralyzed my already weak limbs, and if it weren't for the fact that I had to go to work, I would have fallen asleep like this.
Unwillingly, he got up, stiffened like a mummy that had only woken up after a thousand years, and staggered into the bathroom, almost using facial cleanser as toothpaste when washing.
The icy tap water pierced my face like a thin needle, and even though it had a refreshing effect, the bloodshot eyes in the mirror did not have the slightest vitality that a young man of my age should have, except for a little tiredness.
Doing the same thing mechanically every day, no matter how hot the passion is, it will be oxygen-extinguished, so the face in the mirror that is only twenty-three years old is a little old, which is more or less empty and numb in modern people.
After getting my hair cut and getting dressed, I went downstairs with my briefcase shoulder bag on my back and bought a few meat buns and soy milk for breakfast, and then set off for the company.
Today is a good day, the sun is shining, the temperature has also risen, such weather may be suitable for taking your girlfriend out to play, or you can also lie in bed and sleep, for a bachelor like me who only has one day off a month, but I can't hope for extravagance, just want to save more money, so that the future life will be better.
I held the slightly hot soy milk in one hand to keep warm, my little thumb hooked the small transparent plastic bag with the bun, and the other hand held the bun and stuffed it into my mouth. I never imagined that I would find a beautiful girl to be the other half of my life, but I felt that I had a pair of eyes that could explore beauty, and I would not expect those things that were out of reach, but I could use my eyes to appreciate and praise.
Occasionally, when I see a couple holding hands and walking past me, I will silently return the blessing in my heart, because I hope that my love will also be blessed by others in the future.
I once saw a passage that says that love is the essence of life.
I have never met, but I also yearn for it, hoping that it will bring some waves to my ancient life and embellish my life.
The company was not far from my address and it was not necessary to take a car, so I chose to give up my place to others in need. But actually, I'm not that noble, I just prefer to walk rather than squeeze the bus.
I think it's much more comfortable to be down-to-earth than to be in a bus that smells and smells so crowded that you can get hung in the air.
Boom!
Suddenly, a faint white light fell from my eyes, and then I heard a muffled sound like a hammer hitting the ground, and the sound was so close that I felt a slight tingling through my feet in leather shoes.
Human beings are a very amazing species, not only with emotions such as joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness, but also with some things that are difficult to explain by common sense, such as the sixth sense.
Just now, I didn't know why I stopped, but my brain didn't give this command, and yet my steps stopped, but I felt lucky.
It's just that I couldn't see if what fell from the sky was a brick or a flower pot.
I lowered my head, my heart beating a little faster, and my eyes focused on what almost killed me, a crystal ball about the size of a bowling ball, and two tiles on the ground were smashed into a crack, and the ends were turned outward. No wonder there was such a strong tremor, and if such a large crystal ball had landed on my head, my head would have been like a balloon that had exploded after being filled with water.
I stopped imagining that bloody scene, the so-called hindsight, hindsight, hindsight and fear, when I knew that such a thing had fallen from the sky, I narrowed my eyes, it was my facial muscles twitching, and my whole body seemed to be hit by electricity, crispy and numb, but it seemed to be an ant bite. The chest sounded as if it had been hit by a pacemaker with a strong current.
Fear of death is an emotion that every normal human being will have, as long as there are seven emotions and six desires, you will never be afraid of death.
Me too, at this moment my heart is still beating violently, my limbs are a little stiff, I don't dare to move, so I stood in place for a few more seconds, I was afraid that if I moved, the whole person would not be paralyzed.
I tilted my head slightly and stared upward, how could this thing suddenly fall from the sky? Will there be more? Maybe I should do something to prevent someone who is unlucky from dying right away.
After thinking about it, I shook my head again, obviously wanting to do something, but I was stopped by the old thoughts ingrained in my head.
Each one sweeps the snow in front of his own door, and does not care about the frost on the tiles of others.
I still have to go to work, and this tedious, complicated, and thankless task is snuffed out at the beginning of my mind.
After the stiff limbs gradually warmed up, I couldn't help but sigh, looked down at the shiny but not dazzling crystal ball, and gave birth to a little curiosity for no reason.
Exhaling a breath of mist, thinking that I still had a little more time to work, I crouched down and carefully looked at the crystal ball that almost killed me, there seemed to be something in it, like a black circle.
The appearance of the crystal ball is smooth and round, like a fetus pregnant with a small life, and the black circle inside seems to be the little life that is about to take shape.
I couldn't help but put down the breakfast in my hand and picked up the crystal ball with my hand to see it.
I didn't know that my hand suddenly lightened, and the crystal ball seemed to evaporate out of thin air, and this kind of gorgeous magic on the screen was really staged, and I was the only audience of this scene. There weren't many pedestrians on the streets, and maybe one or two indifferent glances would be on me, and they would move away quickly, and it wouldn't have been idlers who got up so early, so they didn't have time to pay attention to a stranger, and no one noticed what had just happened, except me.
I didn't bother to pay attention to the slightly suspicious gazes of those passers-by, and my mind was completely focused on the crystal ball that disappeared out of thin air.
Miraculously, the crystal ball disappeared silently as if it were fogging, but there was a slight weight in my hand, and I looked at it, and it was a watch with a slightly unique shape.
I don't know how the thing that seems to be a carcass is formed, and its owner should have wasted a lot of thought about using it to package a watch.
The silver-black watch looks great, it's larger than a normal watch, it feels heavy in my hand, and I'm thinking about whether to keep it for myself, and it's clear that a watch packaged in that kind of unheard-of high-tech is not inferior.
This sudden sense of guilt in my mind made me feel a little uneasy in my heart, and I kept looking up, trying to find clues related to this watch, after all, it was something left by someone else, although I really wanted to possess it, if its owner came to find it, I would not hide it, I thought, I should be a very gentlemanly person.
I waited in place for about two minutes, and instead of squatting there stupidly, I naturally stood on the side of the street that would not block the normal passage of pedestrians, and continued my unfinished breakfast.
Maybe not two minutes, because the wait always makes the time seem very long, and I don't have much patience, so I finished the buns, drank a few sips of soy milk, and threw the rest into the trash can on the side.
I played with this watch in addition to the appearance is very good, but I didn't find the actual connotation, my mind moved slightly, maybe I can try to take it on my hand to see the effect, in fact, I wanted to buy a decent watch for a long time, but unfortunately, the cheap ones don't like it, the expensive ones can't afford it, I didn't expect that today it was all effortless.
The screen of this watch is black, there are no hands, there are no buttons, but the magic is that the soft metal strap that seems to be tightly connected to the watch, without the slightest gap, automatically shrinks and fits my skin after it covers my wrist, which is very comfortable, and there is no metal as cold as pins and needles.
It's good, but it's not good. I don't seem to know how to use this thing, I don't even have a pointer on it, it's just beautiful to wear, it's useless, what do I want it to do?
Maybe it's bad?
I couldn't help but ponder, and the smooth mirror reflected my slightly suspicious face.
Is this just a model? What does exaggerated packaging mean? The round, smooth spherical crystals are a bit like snowflakes, and they evaporate when they touch the heat.
"Scanning host information!"
"Host identity is being determined: human."
"Determining host sex: male."
"Host species class is being determined: lower organisms."
"Host position being determined: Prison Guard."
"Determining the host sub-class: Hunter. Level: D. ”
"Gene binding is underway, scanning, extraction of gene marrow."
The watch suddenly popped up a light curtain, I saw clearly, the human body outline rotating on the light curtain was myself, two red light curtains swept around on it, this sudden light curtain made me a little unresponsive, only to hear a buzzing in my head, cold and stiff mechanical sound sounded in my head, as if my head was forced into a sound, shocked me a little dazed.
Then I felt a sharp stabbing pain in my left wrist, as if it had been drilled through by a steel drill, and then I felt a lot of tiny needles and threads burrow through the cracks between my bones, and the sharp stinging pain was like a scorching furnace baking my flesh and bones, and then it was cooled in an instant, and then it was beaten and crushed with a hammer.
It was so fast that I didn't have time to react, but the sharp pain made my other hand subconsciously start to tear the watch desperately, and the sharp pain had confused my cranial nerve center. But even though I can no longer keep my mind awake at the moment, my body has subconsciously reacted, which must be the culprit of the severe pain in my wrist.
Soon, I lost control over my body, my head began to dizzy, I could no longer stand steady, my whole person collapsed to the ground, I didn't feel the coldness of the ground, I didn't feel the sharp pain in my heart continued, I only felt that my consciousness was slowly disappearing, the whole world seemed to be spinning, the light began to distort, everything I saw gradually turned gray-white, and finally it was pitch black.
I think I hear someone exclaiming...
