The weather was very hot, and the old air conditioner squeaked and blew dizzy.

"Hey...... Wake up, wake up!"

An impatient voice came from above, waking the young man from his dream. He bounced up from the desk, squinted his eyes and looked backlight, but saw the boss with a straight face, and suddenly shivered in his heart, and the whole person was completely sleepy.

He hurriedly defended: "I'm sorry, I'm a little sleepy just after lunch, I ......"

"Work hard, don't be lazy. The boss just glared at him, didn't say anything, and quickly turned away.

The youth breathed a sigh of relief.

He sat back in his chair and rubbed his temples, his newly awakened mind visibly still a little groggy. For some reason, he felt as if he had a dream, a long, complicated dream. The dream seemed to drain all his energy, causing him to be extremely tired now, as if he had gone through ninety-nine-eighty-one tribulations.

Can...... Strangely, he couldn't remember what he had dreamed about.

This would have been a very strange thing, but it could have been that he was dizzy at the moment, or he could have been guided by a voice in the dark. Therefore, he did not dig into it and ignored the matter as a matter of course. The boss had not gone far at this time, and suddenly looked back again, and the young man threw this matter behind him, lowered his head, and made an appearance of concentrating on his work.

When he looked down, he saw the pay slip he had placed on the edge of the table, and the pitiful number looked even thinner after being deducted again. However, in the name column, the entire font is blurred, and his name is completely illegible as if it has been mosaic.

"Alas...... How do you feel less and less?"

For some reason, the young man did not notice the name of the mosaic, but only took the pay slip and looked at it a few times, and then put it down, as if there was nothing strange about it. With a click of the mouse, he immediately opened the work file in the computer, ready to continue to modify the PPT prepared for the boss.

His name was also written on the folder of the file, which was also very vague and was ignored by him again.

And when he got to work, the world was like fast-forwarding, and everyone's movements became fast and mechanical, coming and going in the office. The hour hand on the wall spun fast, time passed, and in the blink of an eye it went from two to eight, and the sky was dark in an instant.

The young man walked out of the boss's office dejectedly and stretched. The office was gone, he returned to his desk, turned off his computer and packed his things, and finally carried his bag, habitually waved to the empty seats of his colleagues on either side, turned off the lights, and slowly left through the door.

He came to the elevator and pressed the button. With a ding dong, the world in front of me suddenly turned into a snowflake.

Then, the image resurfaced, and the young man had returned to his rented cubicle. The lights were yellow and the electric fans were blowing, but they didn't make this cramped small space much cooler. With his laptop aside, he lay on his bed, aimlessly scrolling through the web pages.

I don't know which software's news page popped up again, he glanced over, and suddenly saw a push article called "Benjamin Franklin Kite Thunder".

...... He couldn't help but think to himself, maybe the editor didn't know what to write, so he used this kind of story in a junior high school physics book to make up the word count, but the outrageous thing was that their boss didn't have an opinion and gave it the most conspicuous title.

There are so many strange things.

Without hesitation, the youth closed the page.

The moment he closed the page, his laptop crashed automatically!

“...... Exercise. ”

The young man rubbed his head, feeling a terrible headache. He knew that his book might be sent for repair again, but at this moment, the boredom made him really too lazy to care, so he threw the notebook aside, picked up his mobile phone again, and opened the browser.

The mobile browser inexplicably stays on an encyclopedia page.

Bible Stories—Cain and Abel

What the hell? He'd never searched for anything like it.

The young man immediately closed the page, but his hand seemed to have accidentally clicked on another link. Then, another news page popped up, which read: "Queen ****** England, the record-breaking ruler, what is the secret of her longevity?"

A sense of weirdness welled up in my heart.

He didn't know what was going on, but some images seemed to start flashing through his mind.

Light and shadow, castle, army, flying iceship...... The images seem far removed from everyday life, like a world that exists only in the special effects of a movie. But I don't know why, young people don't feel strange, but feel familiar and friendly.

Why?

Finally, he remembered the dream.

"Dream ...... What was in that dream? Was it really just a dream?" the young man clutched his head, the image that had just flashed gave him some inspiration, but he still couldn't remember it. He felt that the dream seemed to be extremely important, that he had forgotten something very important, and that he had to remember it.

But soon, an inexplicable drowsiness came up and made him dizzy. There seemed to be a voice in my ear saying, "Sleep...... You're too tired, don't push yourself, just get some sleep...... Don't think about the unpleasant stuff......"

The youth soon became extremely sleepy and confused.

Instinctively, he sensed a danger and constantly warned himself that he must not sleep, because when he fell asleep, he would forget everything and lose everything important. But he was so sleepy that he couldn't resist the hypnotic sound, and his heavy eyelids closed little by little in the fight.

Buzz - smack!

Suddenly, the mobile phone vibrated violently, and even directly shook itself to the ground, making a crisp sound, waking the young man from the edge of sleep.

He subconsciously picked up his phone.

Before he could answer the phone, a mechanical voice came from inside.

"Labor service is required, please press zero. ”

As if struck by a bolt of lightning, the young man was shaken and empowered. And everything around him, the whole stuffy cubicle, the yellow and clear lights...... All the things that existed in this world suddenly became illusory, and became farther and farther away from him.

All that's left is him, his phone, and his laptop.

He held his mobile phone, and all kinds of images kept flashing back in his mind, fragmented, but extremely real. At that moment, he felt like he had reached the edge of the bubble, and with a light touch, the whole bubble that had isolated him would dissipate.

The phone just repeated the sentence over and over again, the tone was calm, but there was an inexplicable sense of impatience, as if urging something.

The hypnotic voice in the young man's ears was heard again: "Give up...... Why give up the life that really belongs to you? You belong to this place, why do you think about all those unpleasant things? Give up......"

With two voices mixed in his ears, the young man took a deep breath, lowered his head, and looked at the flashing "0" on the keyboard of his mobile phone.

Then, without hesitation, he pressed it.

Bite!

There was a soft sound, and it was very crisp.

The two voices that kept repeating in his ears came to an abrupt end, and at the same time, the phone's keyboard interface disappeared, replaced by a meme that appeared in the center of the screen - funny.

And in the next second, the whole world is shattered.
