Chapter 2: The Return and the Magic Circuit
In the dimly lit room, a small street light shines in through the window.
Lu Mingfei woke up from his sleep, reflexively touched under the pillow, and took out the magic dress he had hidden before going to bed, but he didn't touch anything.
He squinted for a moment, then slowly straightened up and looked into the room by the light outside the window.
The anime wallpaper posted on the wall, the instant noodle bucket with only soup after eating noodles on the computer desk, the bosom friend who was thrown away by the pillow after reading it, and the dirty clothes piled up on the computer chair without washing......
The familiar layout suggests that this is his own room, not the Chaldean standard room where he and Roman are hiding from the internet.
He woke up without sleep, didn't turn on the light, got up and sat down in front of the old-fashioned laptop. Skillfully booted, clicked on QQ, and looked at the red 99+ prompts on the class group and game group, so he had the feeling of returning to a civilized society.
He looked at the back of his right hand holding the mouse through the light of the screen, where there were marks like burns from flames, which he couldn't see if he didn't look closely. It was a spell, a testament to the Heroic Servant of the Master.
Seeing this, Lu Mingfei was convinced that he had indeed traveled to another world.
He looked at the dim Ling Spell for a moment, and suddenly thought of something and quickly got up and walked out of the room.
Looking at the layout of the furniture in front of him, Lu Mingfei was in a trance, he had been living at his uncle's house since his parents went abroad when he was a child.
The uncle's family treats him well, the uncle is impartial to him, the aunt is sometimes strict but eats, drinks and wears him, and there is a cousin who has better grades than him in school, so he always despises him, and Lu Mingfei is only a young secondary school second; The living expenses sent by his parents have never been interrupted, and the material conditions are basically satisfied, but Lu Mingfei still has a feeling of being under the fence before this. But now he just feels like he's actually home.
Shaking his head and pressing down on these thoughts, Lu Mingfei walked towards the bathroom.
After entering the bathroom and locking the door, he turned on the light and checked it casually, turned it off again, and then walked to the sink and looked at himself in the mirror, the reflection in the mirror could barely see his figure, and his face was pitch black.
Lu Mingfei calmed himself down, and then meditated in his mind the lessons taught by the Chaldean magicians to open the magic circuit.
After calming down, he went into a meditative state.
Somewhere in his body it was as if a switch had flipped on, and he felt a slight loss of physical strength, replaced by an indescribable flow of air, a substance that was different from blood flowing in the hollow organ of the body, the magic circuit. This is magic, a mysterious power that magicians exchange by injecting life force into the magic circuit.
Lu Mingfei's reflection in the mirror also underwent some anomalies: several streaks of fluorescent green like blood vessels extended from his chest to his neck. This is the outward manifestation of the magic circuit when it is opened, and the magic is transmitted to the limbs and applied through fluorescent streaks.
Looking at himself in the mirror, Lu Mingfei was a little distracted. Having a magic circuit means that he can use magic now, even if he is not sure if there is a large source of magic power available for him in this world, but the small source magic obtained by transforming his life force with the magic circuit can still be used normally.
Seeing this, he couldn't help but feel a little sad, thinking that the people who had taught him magic and the people who practiced magic together would never see him again, and the sadness in his heart could no longer be contained.
"Since you have picked up a life, you must live! Together, with their share! Thinking of the two deceased, Lu Mingfei could only comfort himself like this.
……
The next morning, Lu Mingfei came out of the room to see Aunt Dao preparing breakfast for a family of four in the kitchen.
"Awake? Let's call Narusawa and eat right away. My uncle, who was reading the newspaper in the living room, saw him come out and said to him.
"No need, I'm already up." The door next to him opened, and a little fat man who was shorter than him but tonnage comparable to the two of him walked out rubbing his eyes.
Seeing the three of them who had been separated for a year, Lu Mingfei felt a burst of warmth in his heart. The relatives who he thought he would never see again appeared in front of him like this, and he wondered for a moment if he was dreaming.
"Don't stand stupid! Come and serve the food! Auntie's voice from the kitchen brought him back to reality and hurried to help.
……
As soon as she sat down at the dinner table, her aunt glared and asked Lu Mingfei: "Did you stay up late to play games again last night?" I hear the computer in your room turn on!"
“?” Lu Mingfei, who was innocently named, did not answer immediately, after all, there was no way to explain to them about checking his body in the bathroom last night.
He was about to find an excuse to perfunctory when he heard his uncle say to the aunt who was glaring at him: "Okay, it's not for him to have a summer vacation, and he can't do anything if he has too much pressure to study before." Then he turned his head to Lu Mingfei and said, "Mingfei, the holiday is still long, there is time to play, and you should rest at night." ”
"Okay, I'll rest on time in the future." Seeing that his uncle was helping him speak, Lu Mingfei replied according to his uncle's meaning.
"You'll help him!" The aunt muttered, and let Lu Mingfei go.
……
After dinner, the uncle went to work, and the aunt went to the old sisters to chat.
Seeing that they were all out of the door, Lu Mingze, who was full of fairy spirit, dropped a sentence and went back to the room to make up for sleep.
In the past, Lu Mingfei might have been lost for a long time when he was alone, but now it is convenient for him to do some research.
After returning to the room and locking the door, Lu Mingfei began to carefully study his changes. Last night in the bathroom just a rough check-up.
Originally, after crossing many peculiar points, he had left countless wounds on his body, large and small, but now he felt that his physical fitness had decreased, and he had returned to the state before entering Chaldea, and his skin full of wounds was white and tender.
But the spell on the back of the hand and the magic circuits in the body indicate that this is a crossing into the Chaldean body. Lu Mingfei, who couldn't figure out this situation for the time being, didn't think about it carefully, he had other things to verify in a hurry.
……
The magic power of the life force transformation was running in the circuit at high speed, and Lu Mingfei, who felt the slow loss of physical strength, accelerated the transformation speed again. The rapid loss of physical strength compressed the rapid beating of the heart, and the heartbeat became faster and faster, and Lu Mingfei felt that the blood in the blood vessels also accelerated the flow.
"It's coming!" At a certain point in the heartbeat, a large amount of hot blood gushes out of the heart, which then merges with the ordinary blood in the blood vessels.
Lu Mingfei also stopped the transformation of magic power at this time, and slowly felt the changes in his body.
After fusing with unknown blood, the body became stronger, and the previous weak state was swept away. He clenched his fists and felt the added power, almost as strong as he had been strengthened with the Enhanced Magic. More importantly, Lu Mingfei felt something change in his eyes.
Picking up the mirror that had been set aside beforehand, he looked into it.
The golden pupils in the mirror were shining.
