Chapter 2 A Strange Land is Like a Dream
A few hours after the prison break, Lin Ze appeared intact in the first-class cabin of a long-haul airliner. From the moment he boarded the plane, he was no longer the death row prisoner Lin Ze that no one paid attention to, but a noble man who was called "Mr. Lin" by the graceful stewardesses. Obviously, he has adapted to this pleasant title, and the nine deaths just now seem to have reborn him, and there is calmness and naturalness between his eyebrows and eyes.
In fact, until now, this clear-eyed young man still can't quite understand the flight that happened before, just like he doesn't understand how he became a murderer, and the despair and helplessness in the court at that time are like a world away.
After all, he survived.
Even if he didn't know the identity of the mysterious man, even if he didn't know where the plane was going to take him, even if flying at thousands of feet made him feel very insecure. But at least, he survived, is there anything more thankful to God than the rest of his life?
There was no excitement, no laughter, no unusual performance, although his heart could turn over at any time, Lin Ze behaved extremely calmly. With a stomach full of questions, Lin Ze maintained a rare silence, just quietly enjoying his breathing, enjoying the reality of being alive at the moment, waiting for that mysterious voice to appear again.
"As soon as the plane lands, you're safe. ”
Unsurprisingly, the mystery man spoke again. Lin Ze tried his best to keep his voice low, so as not to be regarded as a self-talking neurotic by others.
"Why save me. ”
Lin Ze's tone was slightly stern, believing that the mysterious man could completely feel the composure in this young man's bones and blood.
There was an awkward pause in this kind of communication, and after a moment, Z said in an unusual tone:
"You can call me Z, you have to live and fulfill your mission. ”
Lin Ze was slightly surprised at first, but after a while, he suddenly relaxed again. The dialogue reminded him of countless novels and movies about superheroes. Mission, or fate, can also be called a routine: a person carries a terrible identity, and after experiencing thousands of difficulties and dangers, he saves all mankind and protects the world. Lin Ze almost suspected that he was actually holding popcorn, sitting in an empty theater dreaming of spring and autumn.
"What is my mission? ha...... It's not going to save the world!"
"Yes, but your fate has been tampered with, and you and I must work together to correct this mistake. ”
"What do you mean......"
"You are God's chosen Savior. ”
Hearing the three words "savior", which are easy to understand but unfamiliar and distant, Lin Ze instantly had the urge to jump from this high altitude. His unconsciously strong reaction really startled the passengers around him, and they all cast strange looks.
Savior!
Is the world's demand for a savior so low now?!
Even if he really shoulders some kind of mission, the identity change from a gangster to a savior is inevitably too abrupt, even if it is announced that Lin Ze is a mutant, a prince who has been abandoned by the people, and an amnesiac with a major secret, it is relatively easy to accept and understand. But the concept of a savior, is too ethereal.
“Z...... Are you sure you're looking for the wrong person?"
In this world now, there are many people who become famous overnight or get rich one day, and it is common for them to become criminals such as Lin Ze once, but it is simply impossible to be promoted to savior after jumping into prison and jumping into the sea. Besides, even if Z doesn't know how many pounds and taels Lin Ze has, he himself knows very well, he is just a gangster who wanders the market, his parents died early, he has no relatives and no reason, he has no serious career and no skills, and when he has nothing to do, he hides in a small bookstore that hurts his friends and profits and reads some miscellaneous old books, except for his good memory, he is useless in other aspects, how can He De be chosen to save mankind?
If it is true, then the human race is probably doomed to extinction this time. Lin Ze thought to himself.
Although skepticism is doubt, there are also some points of belief. After all, this mysterious person who calls himself Z has just snatched him out of the mouth of death, and this difficulty is much higher than taking the head of a general in thousands of horses, if Z is not a peerless master in this world, then he must be a visitor from outside the world. Judging from the reactions of those who were manipulated by Z before, even if it is the latter, Z is definitely not an ordinary visitor from outside the sky, is it really a god?
Just as Lin Ze was shaking his mind, the stewardess twisted her pretty waist and approached, although it was just a professional habit, it still shook the mind of this "savior" who had not been exposed to fireworks for half a month.
"Mr. Lin, do you need something to drink?"
"No, no, no, I.... I ....."
"Mr. Lin, are you uncomfortable?"
Seeing Lin Ze's somewhat abnormal performance, the flight attendant showed appropriate concern, while still maintaining a professional smile.
"I didn't ...... It's okay, I'll just stay by myself, it's really ......"
The flight attendant walked away with interest, after all, it is a service job, and it is inevitable to encounter strange people in all kinds of formats. She can't guarantee that the "Mr. Lin" in front of her is a 100% normal person.
Looking at the flight attendant who was walking away, Lin Ze tried to calm his heart.
In this fine weather with thin clouds, huge passenger planes fly smoothly in the sky, but in the simple and transparent natural atmosphere, the steel object can be regarded as an uninvited guest. Through the small window, Lin Ze could clearly see the scene outside the plane. After traversing endless wilderness and cities, the steel monster flew into the stratosphere. A large sea of clouds flowed under Lin Ze's eyes, although it was only white gas of different shapes, between the concave and convex twisting, it seemed to hide unknown beasts and songbirds. Lin Ze looked into the distance and saw the boundless blue, as well as the somewhat illusory, layered white, and his consciousness couldn't help but drift away into the distance.
Such a scene seems to only appear in Lin Ze's dreams, since he was born, he has been living alone in the steel jungle on the ground, and the sky he sees is forever covered with a layer of ashes. He seems to be more and more like a "person", but he has never been a living life.
Thinking of this, a trace of decline flashed in Lin Ze's eyes, and then a little anticipation was ignited. He accepted Z's statement, compared to death row prisoners, the identity of the savior is obviously not much better, compared to aging and dying in obscurity, if you can make a difference in the good years, it is also a great blessing in life.
However, with the stabilization of this psychological suggestion, Lin Ze suddenly lost his confidence, because until now, Z had not told him how to save the world.
"Okay, so what's next for me, the savior?"
Z didn't talk, and the sudden silence made Lin Ze a little uneasy.
"Don't have any quest hints or anything?"
Z still didn't talk, as if he had disappeared.
Lin Ze was a little anxious, he was a death row prisoner who had escaped from prison, and he didn't know how many people on the ground were planning to hunt him down, after all, he had just broken free from death, and if he lost contact with Z, how could he safely embark on the so-called savior road alone, I am afraid that he would not even be able to save his life.
"Anyway, I'm also a savior, so I don't have the right to know? For example, am I going to fight monsters or destroy terrorist organizations? Also, should I unlock some kind of divine power, or have a powerful high-tech weapon? Do you have pets? I want to be a little fierce. Oh and there, can you ...... Make me more handsome?"
Lin Ze almost finished the last sentence with a sneer, not so much self-deprecation, but as a way to ease the serious silence between him and Z, because this long silence was about to make him suffocate.
The dry cold joke only made the atmosphere more solemn, and at the same time that Lin Ze realized that it was inappropriate to put away this ridicule, he suddenly felt that his right hand was unconscious. The stunned Lin Ze turned his gaze to his right hand, only to see that his palm was raised autonomously, followed by a crisp sound of "pop", and Lin Ze's right hand actually slapped himself.
Yes, Lin Ze slapped himself in the face.
"Do you have any other choice? ”
Z, who had disappeared for a long time, finally spoke again, his voice was cold, but firm and powerful. This slap gave Lin Ze an unforgettable lesson.
This time, Lin Ze fell silent.
Every word in Z's sentence stabbed Lin Ze's heart one by one, and the slap that was completely out of his control made him have to believe that everything that happened in front of him was very serious, and he had to maintain his awe of Z at all times.
Perhaps, just as God wants to send Jesus to the world, and Hongjun wants to create three clear people, for Lin Ze, Z is a god who can control people's souls and bodies, and Lin Ze is the savior, the savior chosen by God.
A death row inmate who has escaped from prison has indeed no choice.
"You must remember everything I say next, otherwise not only will your own life be in danger, but the world will also be destroyed. ”
"Yes. ”
Hearing Lin Ze's obedient answer, Z seemed to be very satisfied, and his tone was obviously softened, as if he had changed from a teacher's reprimand to a student's teaching to his children.
"Due to the rewriting of your fate, the future of this world is frequent, life is ruined, and humanity will face extinction in advance, unless you can regain your original destiny and re-embark on the road of salvation, otherwise, humanity will eventually be erased from this world. ”
What does it mean to be "erased"? Could it be that if Lin Ze can't resist it, the human race will disappear? This really seems to be the mission of a savior, but how to do it exactly? Destroy a world boss? Resist an invasion of alien creatures?
"There are a lot of mysteries that you can't understand for a while, and I will always assist you from the side, so ......"
Before Z's words were finished, there was a sudden "boom", and the fuselage of the passenger plane shook violently in response, as if it had suffered a huge impact, and the passengers in the full warehouse were all nervous by this sudden shock, and subconsciously clenched the armrests of the seats. Lin Ze also felt a hint of uncertainty in this shock, because the originally calm blue sky and white clouds outside the cabin had disappeared, replaced by manic lightning and dark clouds like a demon cave and ghost castle.
Just as the flight attendant stood up and prepared to calm the passengers, something worse happened. The dark clouds in the distance suddenly gathered into a ball, and quickly approached the plane like a hurricane, and there was an inexplicable electric current flashing in the terrifying hurricane. Lin Ze was sure that he had seen a similar electric current, which was the electric light emitted by those SWAT officers after breaking through the airflow barrier during the prison escape. And the current in front of him was obviously not to break through any barrier, but to devour the steel giant that Lin Ze was on.
Before he could think about it, a dark blue lightning suddenly struck the plane, and the four engines stopped rotating at the same time, only to see this steel monster full of hundreds of people, its head gradually tilted downward, and at the same time it was swept into it by the roaring black hurricane. As if swallowed and entered the stomach and intestines, the plane fell straight down the center of the hurricane.
The screams poured out like magic sounds, and with the rapid decline of the entire passenger plane, all the passengers appeared to be in the air for a short time, which is the so-called weightless state, and the next second, everyone stumbled around like deflated balloons. Lin Ze hugged the back of the seat in front of him tightly to avoid being thrown to a hard place like everyone else, and suddenly, the graceful stewardess who had been graceful before slipped down from his side against the ground, and when she was frightened, she actually grabbed Lin Ze's ankle.
Lin Ze at this moment is very contradictory, first of all, the plane keeps falling like this, and everyone will die sooner or later, but if the flight attendant keeps pulling him, the weight of the two people plus this huge momentum, Lin Ze can't hold on at all, maybe they will die in the next second. If Lin Ze wanted to live a few more seconds, he only needed to kick away the person who was pulling him with the other foot. What if the plane is back to normal? What if a miracle happens? What could be more important than being alive?
After half a second of entanglement, Lin Ze retracted his feet, which were obviously ready to exert force, followed by a firm shout:
"Hold on to me!"
I didn't expect death to chase me so closely, and I escaped from prison alive, but I had to meet the plane crash with this mustard life, at this moment, the idea of what god and what savior had long been vanished in fear. But if he could give another person a few more seconds of life, he could convince himself that he was willing to take the risk.
However, the cruelty of the disaster exceeded Lin Ze's imagination, just when Lin Ze was about to hold on, the stewardess who pulled his ankle had no strength, and her hand slipped and only grabbed Lin Ze's shoes, and then, the shoes fell off Lin Ze's feet, and this handsome and lovely man fell to the place where Lin Ze couldn't see clearly.
Before Lin Ze could regret it, an even more bizarre scene suddenly staged, those passengers who were terrified in the disaster, those who stumbled in the accident, and those who died of cardiac arrest before they fell to the ground, unexpectedly decomposed in the air in an instant with the screams that gradually disappeared! Yes, decomposed! It was like a shattered pixel that was broken into fine pieces, at first slowly, and then exploded and dissipated.
And the whole plane was suddenly squeezed by an unknown dimension in the fierce black hurricane, and the sharp lightning streamer suddenly changed color, and suddenly gathered on the steel monster as if it was shrinking. There was no sound, no splintering, and the entire plane turned into a point of light in the process of rapid fall, and then disappeared.
Lin Ze was still immersed in the shock of the scene of the pixelation decomposition of the human body, and before he had time to scream, the fuselage did not know whether it was resisted or received by divine power, and suddenly regained some balance, but it was still in a state of rapid forced landing, and Lin Ze's body that was originally hanging in the air fell back to the seat in an instant.
The plane suddenly burst out of a spot of light, as if entering another dimension. In the low-altitude environment, the steel giant slammed through the forest tip, smashed through the jungle barrier several meters high, and then swooped into the open plain, grazing the ground heavily and cutting dozens of meters away, splashing sparks and mud churning everywhere it touched. Smoke and dust were mixed, and the nose of the machine took the lead in stopping sliding under the action of friction, the front body was crooked, and the tail of the plane was under the action of inertia, throwing out an unsightly arc on this suddenly scorching flat ground.
In an instant, the dust settled and smoke rose everywhere.
In the cabin, all the passengers had disappeared as if they were evaporating, and the scattered fires gradually gathered into fierce flames, which in an instant, drowned everything in front of them.
"I don't deserve to die......"
This was Lin Ze's last will before he fainted, he didn't know if he was also decomposing, but he believed that this would never be his end.
After the flames were extinguished, there were not a single body at the scene of the crash, and not even a single fragment of clothing could be found.
Hundreds of people, just disappeared into thin air.
No one is alive, no corpse is dead.
The world outside the scene of the air crash is a dense jungle, an endless river, a sky high and cloudy, a breeze looking for spring, everything is the original appearance of nature, and it seems to be different from the world where Lin Ze exists. The mountains and jungles don't seem to feel that they have lost anything, just like an adult with good skin who has squeezed out a pimple on his face, leaving a little scar. It's a little painful, but it heals eventually.
Hundreds of people are missing, but this is shocking news in human society. The event would first go viral on the Internet, then go viral on national television, and then spread to other countries. Within a few days, the world would know about the accident, but no one would know the truth. The spread of information will eventually come to an end, because birth, old age, sickness and death are the normal state of people, accidents and disasters are force majeure, tens of thousands of lives and tens of thousands of deaths every day, and these hundreds of lost lives are just a small talk after tea and dinner for those who are alive, and will soon be covered up by more interesting entertainment news.
But in the world that Lin Ze broke into, everything is very different, but there is one law that will never change, and that is life and death.
In the dark and endless narrow alley, Lin Ze ran lifelessly, with fresh blood in his hands and clothes. He looked back in horror as he ran, and turned his head to see a woman standing not far away. Lin Ze suddenly stopped, his eyes full of confusion and panic, even though he was sure that it was someone he knew.
"Irchen?"
"Why did you kill my ......?"
"No! not me!"
Suddenly, Lin Ze felt empty under his feet, and the whole person instantly fell into an endless dark abyss, but there was no rumbling wind in his ears, but the infatuated words of a man and a woman. Lin Ze could make out that the man's voice seemed to be himself.
"You betrayed me?!"
"I didn't betray you!Zizheng, I can't watch you continue to be wrong!"
"I am the savior, you are not qualified to judge me as right or wrong, and no one can steal my world!"
I don't know how long it took, Lin Ze gradually regained some consciousness.
Everything just now was just a dream, murder, prison escape, plane crash, savior...... And the ambiguous dialogue, it's all just a dream.
Lin Ze tried hard to open his eyes, how he wished he could wake up and find himself lying comfortably on the sofa at home, but no matter how hard he tried, it was still dark in front of him.
Or maybe it's not a dream?
Thinking of this, the only thing he can do is call Z, if it is not a dream, the only one who can explain and guide him is the mysterious Z. However, several calls went unanswered, as if Z had never existed.
Lin Ze's consciousness gradually cleared up, and he felt the surrounding environment with his hearing and touch, so as to make sure that he was not dead, but he didn't know where he was or who saved him. He seemed to be lying on a bed, his hands and feet hurt but he could move, but he couldn't open his eyes, and he reacted as if something was sticking to his eyes, and there were bursts of pain under the touch. Through the echo, Lin Ze roughly judged that he was lying in a somewhat empty room, and there was no one else around except him.
Lin Ze struggled to get up, but he just stretched his arms and had to put them down, at this moment his two arms were really weak and weak, his legs were even more heavy and painful, and his whole body couldn't withstand the pressure of the slightest activity.
However, this is not a serious problem. At least, he's still alive.
Also, how could it be so easy to die? I am the chosen savior!
With this thought, Lin Ze tried to support his body with all his strength again. This time, he was halfway there. Although his body barely stood up, the next second he was paralyzed again by a sharp pain in his head, and he fell to the ground in a trance.
Suddenly, there was a soft "squeak", it seemed that a door had been opened, followed by exclamations and hurried footsteps, there should have been several people who ran to Lin Ze's side in a hurry after opening the door, which made him nervous.
"Lord Prince, you have finally woken up! Someone is coming! Quickly pass on the doctor! Inform the monarch!"
A middle-aged woman's voice was the first to speak, and Lin Ze could feel her anxious expression. The woman hurriedly stretched out her hand to help Lin Ze up, but the panicked Lin Ze would not agree to her touch at all.
"Don't touch me! What is the prince?"
"Lord Prince? Ah, how is this good? Isn't it a brain injury?"
"You're just having a bad brain! What did you just call me? What the hell is the prince?"
"You are the prince of our country, the only heir of the king, the only hope of the prince, His Royal Highness the prince of the ninth half!
Lin Ze couldn't believe his ears, because his eyes couldn't see anyway, but recalling the scene of the previous prison escape and the scene at the time of the crash, I'm afraid that even if his eyes are still good, he can't be gullible.
Who am I? I'm Lin Ze. But this person calls me Nine-and-a-half, and I am in a country called Negative Cun, and Nine-and-Half is the prince of Negative Cun......
Wait, the monarch, the prince, is there still a crown prince system in the world today? Is it in Japan? It is clear that I can understand Chinese, but it is just ancient and ancient...... Antique ......
No, I crossed over???
