The dark environment coupled with the flashing points of light, if it weren't for the bruises all over his body, Lu Yu would definitely enjoy this beautiful feeling of being in the starry sky.

However, although this scene can make people feel relaxed and comfortable at first glance, if you feel it carefully, you will find that these shiny pale green points of light are like a pair of eyes staring at you in the dark, and you can't help but feel a chill.

Due to the interweaving of space and chaos, Lu Yu felt that the situation in his stomach at this time was like turning over a river and a sea, and it was estimated that the stomach pouch was pierced by broken bone spurs.

This place is filled with a dark and gloomy atmosphere, following the stairs, at the end of the place where Lu Yu is, there is a strong energy fluctuation, even if Lu Yu can't concentrate now, he can still feel a rather terrifying sense of oppression.

"Lu Yu, 16 years old, male, lives in the outer city of Changkong City, and was affected by a sudden car accident." At the end of the stairs, the person sitting on the throne chanted, the voice was deep and penetrating, the volume was not very loud, but it was enough to reach Lu Yu's ears.

What Lu Yu didn't know was that the location he was in now was located in the north of the Lost Trail of Shacheng, in the palace of the Guardian of the Boundary Gate, Xu Yong, in addition, Xu Yong was also the "iron fist" of the soul master, and the number of commanders was about 30,000 iron guards.

The boundary gate guarded by Xu Yong is the passage connecting with the void world and various worlds, through the boundary gate, you can shuttle to various worlds, but this requires the shuttle to have extremely powerful ability and mental power enough to load, or there is a person like Xu Yong who has a key to reduce the pressure of the shuttle.

And Xu Yong's main task here is to prevent invaders from other worlds or intruders from causing chaos to the Void Realm or vainly trying to be unfavorable to the Void Realm, affecting the balance of things in the entire Void Realm.

As for why Xu Yong had more observations about the young man in front of him, it can only be said that it was incidental, after all, if you count it carefully, there should have been no one for him for thousands of years, and after going through the trial of the Void Realm, he was transferred to the Council Hall and let him be taken to the gap of the boundary gate as a guide.

"It's not easy to be an intermediary and survive in the hands of a spirit-level soul beast reaper and a large number of necromants when something goes wrong with the teleportation array. According to the rules, he can return to the realm - at a certain cost. ”

After finishing speaking, the green fluorescence in the dark turned red, drifting away, scattered around Lu Yu's body, Lu Yu could feel a warm feeling slowly spreading throughout Lu Yu's body, and his broken body seemed to be reglued and connected, regardless of external and internal injuries, they were all healed very quickly.

After a while, Lu Yu felt that the pain in various parts of his body gradually lessened, and some of the red light spots on his body also returned to darkness as the wound healed. It didn't take long for Lu Yu to stand up easily and he didn't feel overtired.

"Just now I was going around in circles with the soul beast, and then I was accidentally slapped and flew away, and then Su Yi saved me, and then ...... And then here it is. The young man pondered his thoughts again, and the ins and outs of the other party's memories in his mind should be fine, but he always felt that the current situation seemed to be missing something, "By the way, what about Su Yi and Ellie?" ”

Because the injury was too serious just now, after the injury was healed, he didn't even remember that the blue-haired boy and the blonde girl who were with him were not around him for a while.

The person on the stone seat sat quietly, not scolding Lu Yu for wandering around, just looking at him quietly, as if waiting for something.

Lu Yu looked around, except for the pale green fluorescent fire around him, there was nothing else special, but if he had to find out the difference between this place and the sand city mystery, it was probably that this place was very dark, if there was no ghost fire in this circle, then it would be so dark now that it would be as if he was in a four-thousand-meter underwater sea that the light could not shine into.

After making sure that he was moving at the same time, the glowing fire would also move, and after not affecting his vision, Lu Yu turned his attention back to the person in the distance.

When he was lost in Shacheng, Lu Yu felt as if someone was staring at him, he could feel a gaze lock on him, but he couldn't find out where this gaze came from, knowing that he had just transferred here, he vaguely saw a vague figure at the end of the stairs, and the sight of that figure seemed to fall on him impartially.

"Come here."

The voice of the person on the stone seat came into Lu Yu's ears, and although Lu Yu felt that something was wrong, he still stepped on the stairs and walked towards that person step by step.

As the distance between Lu Yu and that person continued to shrink, he was gradually able to see the general appearance of the person sitting on the stone seat: the whole body was wrapped in blue-gold armor, unlike the gatekeeper he had seen before, this person's armor had a lot of ornaments, and he was also wearing a helmet, so he couldn't see the appearance clearly, but if you looked closely, you could still see the person's pupils through the helmet, like wolf pupils, with a hint of awe-inspiring and resolute, giving people a feeling of having been on the battlefield.

Lu Yu stopped when he was about ten meters away from him, which he thought was a relatively safe distance for him.

"Congratulations on surviving." The man's voice didn't carry a trace of emotional fluctuations, "According to the rules, you can choose to return to the human realm now, or stay in the void realm to serve the soul master. ”

"No matter what choice you make, no one will interfere with you, you can rest assured, and you don't think that you are special, every surviving intermediary has the right to make such a choice."

"So if you choose to stay, is there any benefit?" Lu Yu asked.

"Because of the inadaptability of the human soul body and the soul ember energy, even if you go back in the current state, your lifespan will be greatly shortened, and if you stay in the void realm, due to the soul master and the environment, you can alleviate the conflict between the soul body and the soul ember energy, and if you are lucky, you can even eliminate the negative impact."

Lu Yu lowered his head, as if he was thinking about something.

But it's just an ordinary person who can't afford to make a profit. Xu Yong thought.

"I choose to return to the human realm." Lu Yu gave an answer after some thought.

Immortality is quite tempting.,It's just that it's so barren here.,There's no novel and no game.,Although you can lie flat.,But no matter how you say it, it's a little boring after all.,Besides.,I'm not sure if it's a dream or not.,If you choose to stay here.,If you can't wake up from the dream, it's over.。 Lu Yu had a small calculation in his heart, thought about it for a long time, and chose to answer "return to the human world".

Xu Yong was not surprised by Lu Yu's answer.

"Come with me." After he finished speaking, he stood up from his seat, and his body was about two meters long, which was a giant-like existence for Lu Yu, who was more than one meter and seven meters.

Lu Yu followed behind Xu Yong, he didn't know where this person was going to take him, in short, just follow first, after all, for himself, he thought that when he was not able to resist the status quo, it was best to wait and see what happened.

I saw that where Xu Yong walked by, the lamps on the walls would be blue ghost fires for no reason, gradually lighting up the surrounding environment.

As the surrounding scene was lit up by these ghost fires, Lu Yu was able to see the whole picture of the place they were in now.

Their current location is on the right side of a huge palace, although this palace is not very splendid, but its interior decoration and furnishings will still give people a strong sense of shock, but the strange thing is that in this huge palace, there is no one guarding here, so far, Lu Yu has only seen Xu Yong here.

After walking for a while, when they left the palace, the two of them came to an extremely empty place similar to the backyard, not like the inside of the palace, the light outside was very good, there were flowers and trees and everything, it was completely opposite to the extremely barren sand city, and unlike the mirror lake where there was only one lake, there was only one sun, and in terms of scenery, it was closer to reality.

In the middle of this open area, there was a stone plate that resembled an altar, and around it was arranged in four directions like a cannon barrel, and wisps of green smoke came out.

Xu Yong took Lu Yu onto the stone plate, and then threw an iron block into the center of the altar, and in an instant, the clouds in the sky seemed to melt, falling drop by drop on the iron block in the altar, and then gradually piled up, forming a door-like thing ten meters high and six meters wide.

"Push it away, and you'll be able to go back."

Walking to the door, Lu Yu turned his head again: "May I ask about the situation of the two people next to me before I just transferred?" ”

"No comment."

“……”

Only then did Lu Yu turn around and push open the door, the dazzling light on the inside of the door pierced him from opening his eyes, until the light softened and he was almost able to open his eyes, he found himself lying on a hospital bed.

"Vital Signs...... Normal, family is being called. The surrounding medical robots immediately began to work, detecting his various signs, and the holographic screen not far from Lu Yu also automatically lit up, automatically switching according to the emotional changes of scanning Lu Yu, and the room also automatically switched to soothing music.

"Hmm...... How did I end up here? Lu Yu only remembered that he had just finished school, and was about to cross the street, and then a truck sped towards him, and then what happened after that...... He had no impression at all, he glanced at the time on the holographic screen on the wall, which showed "September 1, 2020 at 1 pm".

However, his watch showed "2:30 p.m. on September 2".

"Strange, is the watch broken?" He remembered that he hadn't timed it before.

Lu Yu was a little confused about his current situation, his memory seemed to stay in the time before he was hit by an unmanned truck, and he had no impression of what happened after that.

"Speaking of which, I'm in the inner city?"

Looking at the medical facilities and other electronic devices in front of him, he concluded that he should be in the inner city of Changkong City now, after all, the hospitals in the outer city did not use so many advanced machines, but were mainly manual services like other ordinary cities.

The outer city and the inner city of Changkong City, although it is only separated by a protective shield, but the protective shield is separated by a considerable gap in the level of science and technology, and it is no exaggeration to say that the inner city of Changkong City has at least far surpassed the scientific and technological level of the outer city for nearly 30 years.

Lu Yu still remembers that he was often brought to the inner city by his father to play when he was a child, so he gradually liked some things related to technology and mechas, but then he didn't know why, and he never entered the inner city after he was eight years old.

Suddenly, there was a rush of footsteps in the corridor outside the door, Lu Yu's memories came to an abrupt end, a woman broke through the door, her face was full of anxiety, but she was slightly relieved to see the teenager on the hospital bed lying on the hospital bed unharmed, switching the holographic screen to find the program she liked to watch.

"Xiao Yu, how are you feeling now?" Bai Lu asked.

"Mom, I'm fine, but now I'm feeling a little dizzy."

"I've just read the doctor's report, basically nothing too big, just rest for a few more days and be fine."

"Great, extended holidays!" Lu Yu said with a smile.

Bai Lu looked at Lu Yu, frowned slightly, and stopped talking. Noticing that Bai Lu's expression was a little strange, Lu Yu asked: "Mom, I'm really fine, I'm just a little tired now, probably because I slept last night, you don't have to worry too much." ”

"Then you have a good rest first, Mom has to go to the Holy Alliance when she has something to do later, and I will come to see you later."

"Okay, Mom, stay safe on the road." Lu Yu smiled and waved his hand.

After Bai Lu left, Lu Yu felt his pocket as if he remembered something.

"Found it."

He took out the glowing ball from his pocket that had been given to him in the morning, but by this time the ball had long since lost its luster, and some fine scratches and dents had been added to the surface.

"Speaking of which, that classmate seems to have said that this little ball can come in handy if you encounter danger, could it be that it really played a role when you had a car accident?" Then he shook his head again, "Well, how old am I still doing this kind of fantasy, maybe it's just that the ball happened to break." ”

But Lu Yu was a little shaken in his heart, after all, such a big truck, he didn't have anything to do now, although he also wanted to think that this was because of the strong scientific and technological level and medical level of the inner city, but if he was injured, it would not be possible to heal so quickly, and it was not a one-click repair in the game.

Thinking about it, he wanted to go back and find his schoolbag and put the ball in the schoolbag, but after looking around, he didn't find his schoolbag, only a constantly moving medical robot.

"Yes, I guess I'll have to buy textbooks and school supplies again."

———————————————— Dividing Line——————————————————

On the other side, somewhere in the inner city of Changkong City, a man in a white suit sat on a sofa, holding a copy of "Dawn" in his hand, flipping through it unhurriedly, and next to him stood a gray-white haired maid with a double spiral ponytail, standing dignified on one side, silent. In front of him, there stood a ragged homeless man, with a face full of flesh, emitting a smell of rotting meat, and many flies flying around him.

"My lord, I have already done everything you have explained...... Isn't it time to pay? ”

The man in the suit didn't speak, but turned another page of the book.

"Holy Hand, you're not going to send someone to do something and then not pay you, are you? I've got it all done. ”

The homeless man was a little annoyed, but he still tried to be as respectful as possible in his tone.

The man in the suit closed "Dawn" and stared at the homeless man with slightly squinted eyes; "Mr. Tramp? Or should I call you by your full name, Mr. Mizellepo Johan? Are you sure you really did what I told you to do without missing anything? ”

"Of course!" John replied categorically.

"So, could you please explain this?" The man in the suit took out a few photos from his pocket, and if he just looked at the photos one by one, he could only see a well-dressed man and a little girl who seemed to be running away urgently, but if you looked at them together, you could see that this man had already grabbed the little girl, but for some reason, he let the little girl go.

"This ......" The homeless man sweated a lot, and could only keep wiping his pants with his hands to hide his nervousness.

"Okay, one less is one less, but the contract we signed clearly says 'If there is any mistake, the bounty cannot be taken', so since you haven't completed the commission, you can't get paid, right?"

"But Lord Holy Hand, I urgently need a sum of money right now, or ......"

"Please come back, Mr. John."

The homeless man tried to take a step further, but almost as he moved forward, the maid next to the man in the suit stomped lightly on the floor, and the homeless man's entire right leg was frozen solidly.

"If you don't give it, you won't give it." He smiled apologetically, "Can you melt the ice, I'll leave." ”

The maid smiled and nodded, melting the ice that had frozen on the homeless man's feet.

The homeless man sighed, turned around, and cursed before leaving.

"Wait a minute, Mr. John."

The homeless man thought that there was something important that he needed help again, and turned around unhurriedly, and was about to say the word "go", but suddenly he put his hand to his neck in pain, as if he could not breathe.

Just as his outstretched hand was about to touch his throat, his head rolled to the ground as if it had been cut by a knife, and the blood stained the floor around him, and a letter with a crow feather suddenly flew in from the window and was firmly nailed to the wall.

The maid was about to go out to inspect the surrounding situation, and the man in the suit said: "No need, it's just a mechanism set up, it seems that the whereabouts have been exposed, and the other party is not stupid enough to show up directly." ”

After confirming that the homeless man's body was not in any danger, the maid handed the letter on the ground to the man in the suit, which read: Dear Mr. Reed, this is only the first greeting, and what you have done has always been in our eyes.

- Raven

"Next time, let's find a hidden place to meet."

He motioned for the maid to clean up the scene.

"Will the ending be easier with history? Or is history just a long closed loop after all? ”

He smiled self-deprecatingly.
