Chapter 1: Crossing the Otherworld

In the darkness of the night, a figure moved slowly on the field path.

Xiao Chen was carrying a black travel bag, thinking about his plan of action tonight.

"Be careful!, be careful!" he admonished himself from time to time.

This sentence was originally the only sentence his master had said to him before he was imprisoned.

It's disgraceful to do what they do. If he is arrested by the police, he will be in prison! If he is caught by the master's family, it will be even more miserable; Xiao Chen saw a thief beaten to death after being caught.

Xiao Chen is a thief.

Up to now, he has been debuting for half a year. But who wants to be a thief? Who doesn't want to walk out on the street with their heads held high?

Xiao Chen was deceived and deceived at first, and finally he was desperate to worship his teacher.

"I hope that before the end of this year, I can pay off my debts, and wash my hands as soon as possible!" Xiao Chen sighed, hope is beautiful, but reality is cruel.

...

At midnight, Xiao Chen, who was hidden in the darkness, looked at his watch and picked up a pair of pliers at his feet.

"Boom~Boom~"

The sound of the car starting, Xiao Chen looked up at the pastoral villa in front of him.

A black Mercedes drove out, and the gate gradually closed automatically.

Xiao Chen had observed for several days that the owner of this villa lived a very regular life.

First of all, I go out at 8 o'clock in the morning and come back at 11 o'clock, I always go out in the afternoon, which takes about half an hour, in the evening, I go for a walk at half an hour at 6:30 o'clock, and I go out at 12 o'clock at midnight and come back at 1:30 in the morning.

Xiao Chen couldn't help but admire, this person was too punctual!

When the Mercedes-Benz drove away, Xiao Chen quietly came to the outside of the villa wall like a ghost.

This villa is built on the edge of the village in a remote location.

Xiao Chen took the pliers, found the power supply wire of the villa, and cut it with a "click".

Climbing over the fence, Xiao Chen looked to the right and saw a small swimming pool.

"Luxury! It's really enough to enjoy it!" Xiao Chen pouted.

Turning the window is faster than picking the lock, and it just so happens that the window in this bathroom is quite large, and there is no anti-theft net. Xiao Chen played on the spot and climbed up to the two-meter-high window.

Entering the bathroom, Xiao Chen felt uncomfortable.

In the darkness, he pulled out a small flashlight.

Open the door, have the hallway, the living room, and then go upstairs. As if he was in his own home, Xiao Chen's steps were so light.

The living room on the first floor basically doesn't need to be searched, because the valuable things are all large items, and Xiao Chen can't move them!

"Let's go to the bedroom first. Xiao Chen's steps were light. The bedroom door slowly opened.

Through the crack in the door, you can see a bed and a cupboard.

Xiao Chen opened the door wider and stuck his head in. I looked left and right, and then I entered the bedroom.

After a while, the sound of turning things inside was heard.

As a dedicated thief, work ethic is indispensable. Look at foreign colleagues, stealing someone's wallet, the ID card and other things still have to be sent back.

Xiao Chen steals things, and he won't mess up the items, and put them back in their original places after searching, and they will look the same as the original when the time comes.

“... Six thousand five, six thousand six..."Xiao Chen casually counted the cash he found out, and then put them in his travel bag.

"Alright, it's time to go!" Xiao Chen looked at his watch, and an hour had passed. "I didn't expect it to take so much time just for the bedroom, but the harvest was good, and it was time to go. ”

Xiao Chen is very clear about his goals, and the master once said that caution is the best. Today's harvest is enough, and even exceeded, it's time to retreat, don't be too greedy.

"Huh, what is this?" Xiao Chen moved his right hand and took out a transparent crystal from the pillow, which was the size of a fist.

Under the light of the flashlight, the refracted light of the crystal is very beautiful.

"Diamonds, crystals?" Xiao Chen weighed the crystals, grabbed them in his hands, and walked out of the bedroom.

"Boom~Boom~" The sound of a car engine came from outside.

"Huh?" Xiao Chen's eyelids jumped, and he walked quickly to the window. Gently opening the curtain, he saw the Mercedes-Benz, which was parked in front of the gate, and a middle-aged man and two men in suits got out of the car.

The middle-aged man was the owner of this field villa.

"It's not good! Run!" Xiao Chen was startled, and turned his head and ran towards the stairs, careful not to make a sound.

"How did you come back so soon?"

"Just get to the bathroom, that's it. Xiao Chen ran away, calculating in his heart. "The bathroom is in the southwest corner and the door is due south. I was in the bathroom when they opened the door. When they entered the drawing-room, I climbed out, and over the wall..."

Xiao Chen quickly descended the stairs.

"Living room, turn left, hallway!"

At this moment, the sound of unlocking was heard outside the door.

"It's almost there!" Xiao Chen saw the bathroom in front of him, and suddenly felt a sense of escape from death in his heart.

Suddenly, Xiao Chen tripped over something, his center of gravity was unstable, his body leaned forward, and the whole person flew out.

Xiao Chen 'groaned' in his heart, and subconsciously protected his head with his hands. The crystal in his hand touched the center of his eyebrows.

In the air, his body trembled. Xiao Chen only felt a sharp pain in his head, and then he lost consciousness...

"Bang!" Xiao Chen fell to the ground.

Just then, the door opened.

"Hmm, what's the sound?" the middle-aged man frowned, then turned to the two men and said, "Wait a minute, I'll go see what's going on." ”

"Click!click!" came the sound of footsteps. The middle-aged man came to Xiao Chen's side, and when he saw his dress, he suddenly had three more black lines on his forehead.

And the crystal in Xiao Chen's hand disappeared...

...

Desert Domain.

The yellow sand covered the sky, the wind howled, and a blood-red sun hung high in the sky. There is not a single cloud in the blue-purple sky.

Xiao Chen's eyelashes moved slightly, and his eyes slowly opened.

"Hmm. Where is this?" Xiao Chen licked his chapped lips and sat up slowly with his right hand supporting his body.

As far as he could see, the endless desert stretched into the distance, disappearing into the horizon. But what about the horizon? Is it a desert?

Here, except for the yellow sand, it is still yellow sand. Xiao Chen's eyes were confused, and his memory was still stuck in the moment when he fled from the villa.

"Why did you fall down, and when you open your eyes again, you will be in this hellish place? Is this the Sahara or Tarim?" Xiao Chen said strangely. Suddenly, his face changed, for he found that his voice had changed!

"Strange!hehe, maybe I'm too thirsty and hallucinating, right?" Xiao Chen licked his lips again.

The wind was blowing, mixed with sand hitting Xiao Chen's skin.

He's naked now. The belly of the abdomen is gone, and the arm muscles are tangled, and they are not at all as thin as before.

Xiao Chen half-knelt on the yellow sand and stood for a long time. He let out a long sigh of helplessness. In this desolate desert, Xiao Chen had to accept this terrible reality.

"I'm not my body!" his mind went blank right now.

...

"Whew!" a ** foot stuck into the yellow sand that was scorched by the sun.

Xiao Chen is very weak now, he is thirsty, he is hungry, but he must go on. In this endless desert, there is no water, no food. In the light of the sun, he will not have a trace of shade. If you don't go, you can only wait for death!

The pain caused by the scorching sand, Xiao Chen was already numb. As for the original owner of this body, this is the poor guy who was taken away by Xiao Chen, Xiao Chen didn't bother to care what he was doing before, where the clothes were was his concern, after all, his back had been blistered by the sun.

"Why is this thing still in my hand?" Xiao Chen smiled bitterly, looking at a transparent crystal in his hand, the size of a fist, which was one of the items he had stolen before, and he was holding it like he was now.

Xiao Chen slowly raised his hand and lifted the crystal above his head. Looking at the sun through the crystal, Xiao Chen didn't feel that the sun was dazzling.

Suddenly, he had a feeling of suffocation, his heart throbbed, and he felt something burrow into his body from the palm of his hand?

A flower in front of him, in a trance, Xiao Chen seemed to see a light. That kind of artistic conception is like opening the heavens and the earth, shocking people's hearts, and it is a feeling that can break through all chaos. It seems that in that light, there are thousands of worlds, constantly shattering and renewing. Xiao Chen woke up suddenly, his eyes were full of incredulity, this kind of shock can no longer be described in words.

"What was that, what was that?" he frowned, as if something was in his head. But when he thought about it, there was only a vague light.

Xiao looked up at the sky again, he looked at the sun, but the dazzling light brought back that vague memory.

A man, dressed in a robe, but his face could not be seen clearly. There was a shadow of a sword in his hand, and the wind rose and danced. The shadow of the sword is erratic, the trajectory is mysterious, and it seems to be messy, but in fact it is very regular, with a unique sense of beauty.

Suddenly, the man stopped and turned his head to look at Xiao Chen. That look was like a landslide cracking the ground, Xiao Chen's brain roared, and he was in great pain. With a "poof", a mouthful of blood spurted out.

"What?" Xiao Chen covered his head, feeling his chest stuffy and uncomfortable.

And every movement of the man, every trajectory that the sword shadow had crossed, was clearly imprinted in Xiao Chen's mind, constantly flashing.

Xiao Chen sat on the ground and rested for a while. Wait until you feel better before continuing to walk.

Until now, that scene still flashed in his mind from time to time.

Unconsciously, he gestured with his hands, which was a way to divert his attention, at least he had forgotten about his physical pain for now.

It's been a long time...

Suddenly, he stopped, as his right foot seemed to have stepped on something, and it felt familiar.

"Huh?" Xiao Chen slowly lowered his head and saw a corner of fabric exposed at his feet.

"Clothes!" Xiao Chen's face was happy, and he happily dug it out.

A tattered white garment appeared in front of him, mixed with some bone sticks.
