Chapter 1: A Real Nightmare
May 13, 2016.
Dormitory Building No. 6, Bianhe University, Room 301.
"The bell rings and the signal to return home ......" The familiar tune came into his ears, and Lin Yu slowly opened his eyes: "Have you come back from the mission world?" ”
What caught Lin Yu's eye was the laptop screen: "Recruit local college students to tutor, the tutoring subject is mathematics, and the student is a junior high school girl......"
"This job posting? Like, it's the one before entering the mission world! Eyes quickly moved down, Lin Yu looked at the lower right corner of the computer screen, "19:40." Remember to enter the quest world before this time! How is this possible? In the mission world, at least three hours have passed! ”
Thinking of this, a lot of cold sweat oozed from Lin Yu's forehead: "Does the mission experience that I will never forget, really exist?" ”
"After a lifetime of hesitant struggles, self-confidence can change the future!" The passionate singing voice and out-of-tune singing voice came again, interrupting Lin Yu's contemplation. He quickly turned his head to look at the source of the song:
On the table next to it, "Glory Days" was playing on his laptop. In front of the computer is the boss of the dormitory, who is shaking his head and humming; Although there were not a few words in tune, he showed an intoxicated expression.
"Isn't it really a dream?" Feeling irritable in his heart, Lin Yu couldn't help but stand up suddenly and rushed to the bathroom in the dormitory. He urgently needed to sober up.
In a hurry, Lin Yu, the chair under him, was brought to the ground and made a "bang" sound.
As he was intoxicated by his singing, the dormitory boss was startled by the sound. He turned his head and saw Lin Yu rushing into the bathroom; Then I heard a "bang", and the sliding door of the bathroom was slammed shut.
"Damn, what's wrong with the woods, it's so fast?" Flicking the cigarette ash, the dormitory boss muttered puzzled.
After Lin Yu rushed into the bathroom, he immediately turned on the faucet on the washbasin and wiped the cold water on his cheeks; Then, slowly, he opened his eyes.
In the opposite mirror, a delicate face is reflected: because the front edge is wet with cold water, the black broken hair is slightly scattered; Under the sword eyebrows, the bright eyes revealed a bit of urgency; The bridge of his nose was constantly moving, and his thin lips were gasping for breath.
Looking at himself in the mirror, Lin Yu took a deep breath: "The divine pupil is open!" ”
The wide-open eyes in the mirror actually changed, and the white eyeballs instantly turned pale yellow!
"It's not a dream!" Lin Yu exhaled deeply.
Lin Yu is nineteen years old and comes from Earth; Compared to the earth we live on, although there are many similarities between the two, they are not the same world. A flower is a world, a leaf is the same. When we look up at the starry sky, there will be people looking up at us in different time and space.
As a native of China, Lin Yu majored in economics at Bianhe University and is currently in his sophomore year. Bianhe University is a prestigious university with a long history, located in Bianjing County, Yuzhou. The state here is equivalent to the province, and the county is similar to the city; Not only the Chinese country, but also the administrative units of various countries are divided in this way.
When he was ten years old, Lin Yu's parents died in an accident. At that time, in order to survive, Lin Yu, who was still young, had to swallow the pain of losing his parents alone and face the hardships and tribulations of life.
The hardships and tribulations of life did not break Lin Yu, but the experience in the trial mission made him collapse several times.
What the hell is going on?
Let's turn back the clock by a second, no, maybe just half a second.
Half a second ago, Lin Yu was sitting at the computer desk. He was surfing the Internet on his laptop to check job postings for college tutors.
Suddenly, a white light flashed in front of him, and Lin Yu instantly lost consciousness......
Tick...... Tick...... Tick......
Slowly opening his somewhat dry eyes, Lin Yu couldn't help but tremble: where he came into view, there was a gray-brown stone wall with pits!
"Where is this?" Lin Yu just wanted to speak, but his mouth was full of numbness. He found that his mouth was stuffed with cloth.
Lin Yu subconsciously wanted to reach out and remove the cloth stuffed in his mouth, but there was a feeling of strangulation in his wrist. Looking down, he saw that his hands and feet were tied with thick ropes. Lin Yu turned his head with difficulty and found himself tied to the cold rock.
Lin Yu's heart tightened, and cold sweat oozed from his temples: "What the hell is going on?" Kidnapped? ”
Ticking, a cool sensation came from the forehead.
"Water!" As soon as Lin Yu raised his head, a drop of water happened to fall and slid down his forehead into his eye sockets.
Lin Yu blinked desperately, and his blurred vision gradually became clear:
Overhead, there are bamboo-shaped rocks of various shapes. Many water droplets gather and fall along the tips of stalagmites. The stalagmites in his eyes were like icicles, and they could fall down at any time, making Lin Yu's heart palpitate! A little farther away, on a drier stalagmite, hung a dark copper-colored lantern. The faint yellow candlelight scattered from the lampshade, but it made Lin Yu feel eerie.
"Is this a cave?" Lin Yu's gaze moved down, "Someone!" ”
Ten steps away from Lin Yu's left, there were two thin figures, their backs tied to the sides of a large rock.
Although the two people tied up had their heads down, it was not difficult to see from their figures: one was a teenager of fifteen or sixteen, and the other was a little girl who was only six or seven years old. The gray cloth clothes on the two of them were patched, and the style was somewhat similar to the civilian clothing of ancient China.
"Yes!" Lin Yu struggled desperately, trying to call them. However, his mouth was stuffed with cloth, and his limbs were tied very tightly.
When he was at a loss, a tingling sensation suddenly came from Lin Yu's mind.
"Drop, the system information implanted in the brain of the tester successfully.
O chosen by the gods, the epoch is about to begin, and your homeland will be transformed upheavalously: the end and the beginning. You and the Chosen One will be thrown into this mysterious world and will face different tasks. Those who do not complete the task will be wiped out before they can return to their original home. The system will give you different evaluations based on your task performance, and reward you accordingly according to the task evaluation. The mission is about to begin, so try to stay alive!
Mission Identity: One of the kidnapped prisoners.
Requirements: Survive for two hours.
Special note: It's important that you and other candidates approach each choice they face!
The countdown begins. ”
A series of information suddenly appeared in his mind, which made Lin Yu shudder, "How can information suddenly appear in his head?" Is this a nightmare? No, when the information was implanted in the mind just now, the feeling of going deep into the soul was not a dream! ”
Pinched his fingers hard, and Lin Yu felt a burst of pain: "It's really not a dream!" Otherwise, the pain wouldn't be so real. ”
"Regardless of whether it's a nightmare or a reality, calm down first and analyze the information just now." Taking a deep breath, Lin Yu admonished himself in his heart, "The message mentions that it seems that we got here to complete some task; Moreover, if it is not completed, it will be wiped out and scare people......"
"That's not right!" Lin Yu frowned suddenly, "You can get me here unconsciously, and you can also transmit information in my mind: this level of technology is simply unheard of." Well, using such surreal means is not always to trick me. In this way, it is true that the task cannot be completed...... It is possible to be killed! ”
Thinking of the possibility of death, Lin Yu's tied body couldn't help but tremble.
Biting the tip of his tongue with his teeth, the feeling of pain calmed Lin Yu: "Is it useful to be scared?" When my parents died ten years ago, could I have survived just by being afraid? ”
Taking a deep breath, Lin Yu calmed down and began to continue analyzing: "Since you spent so much money to get me here, you also told me that if you can't complete the task, you will die; Well, this so-called task must not be simple. My mission is to survive here for two hours. In other words, in the next two hours, there is likely to be a lot of danger! But what kind of danger is it? ”
"That's right!" With a turn of his mind, Lin Yu understood, "The message said that my identity is that I am a kidnapped prisoner; Well, the kidnappers are likely to return within two hours. Is that what the danger refers to? ”
Thinking of this, Lin Yu quickly made a decision: "There's no time to continue analyzing!" It's definitely not appropriate to be tied here like this, you have to untie the rope first and leave quickly. Otherwise, it will be dangerous to wait for that kidnapper to appear! ”
Lin Yu began to look around for a tool that could untie the ropes.
"Huh?" Lin Yu suddenly saw a half-sharp stalagmite lying at his feet, "When did it appear, it wasn't there just now?" I can't do that, so I'm going to use it to cut the ropes. ”
Lin Yu stretched out the tip of his right foot and moved the stalagmite between his feet; After that, he gathered his toes, clamped the stalagmite tightly, and used it to cut the rope tied to his ankle.
Five minutes later......
"Whew, the rope on the ankle has finally been cut!" After moving his somewhat sore ankles, Lin Yu lifted his feet together and clamped the stalagmites tightly again.
The stalagmite that was caught was aimed at Lin Yu's side: there, the palm of his right hand tied to the rock was already open.
Turning his head and looking at the distance between his right hand and his feet, Lin Yu prayed in his heart: "There is only one chance, you must catch it!" ”
Tick! Sweat dripped down Lin Yu's cheeks and onto the ground.
Lin Yu's eyes widened sharply and he took a deep breath; Then, with a flick of his feet, the stalagmites flew diagonally upward......
