......

Linjiang City.

Seven o'clock in the morning.

The sky had just turned bright white, and it was a little dark and foggy.

Chen Xun took a book and walked while reading.

He walked to a breakfast stall: "Auntie, a cage of steamed buns, a cup of soy milk, take it away, thank you." ”

"It's very hard for you to be a student, you get up so early and walk and read." The aunt opened the steamer and said, "How tall is it?" ”

"It's a senior year of high school."

"No wonder it's so serious." Auntie picked out a few of the largest buns from the steaming steamer and put them in plastic bags, and handed them to Chen Xun: "Then you have to study hard." ”

"Thank you, Auntie, I'll do my best." Chen Xun took the breakfast with a slightly unnatural expression and quietly covered the name of the book.

The title of the book is "The Origin of World Mythology", which obviously has nothing to do with learning.

But for aunts and others, as long as they don't play mobile phones or games, even if they read a novel, it's all related to learning.

Chen Xun walked down the street with breakfast in one hand and this book in the other.

The chapter he is looking at now is the introduction of the five gods who are in charge of death.

"Anubis, the Egyptian god of death, Tanatos, the Greek god of death, and the ..... of the Emperor of China"

Chen Xun looked at them one by one, his expression was quite focused, and he finally sighed after reading it: "None of them are right." ”

A week ago.

Chen Xun had a strange dream.

The dream was a dark room with a half-masked figure with a pair of huge wings growing on its back.

Like an angel in mythology.

The only difference is that it has been pierced by six iron chains, and its wings are full of blood holes, and it is unknown whether it is dead or asleep.

I thought it was just a dream.

At the age of seventeen, a little bit in middle school, it is not strange to have such a dream.

But.... The next week.

All Chen Xun dreamed of was this room and this figure.

And.

What's more, in reality, he has also undergone strange changes.

[You were hit by a vehicle because you ran a red light (B)]

Suddenly.

Chen Xun, who lowered his head and pondered, saw a message appear in front of him.

His footsteps stopped on the side of the pavement in an instant.

The next moment, several cars were like a long knife, cutting through the dust and driving away in front of Chen Xun.

"It's dangerous... Almost gone. ”

Chen Xun retracted his thoughts with some fear, hurriedly closed the book, and then took a few steps back.

Then another message appeared.

【Successfully survive the death event, gain 1 wisp of mortal blood factor, current progress 2/10】

This is the strange ability that Chen Xun inexplicably possessed the day after that dream.

You can see your own deaths.

Just in the beginning.

Chen Xun only felt uneasy, as if the whole world was full of malice.

Choking to death while drinking water, choking to death while eating, being hit by a car while going to school, being beaten to death because of a glance at a bad teenager, etc.....

There are too many ways to die, and there are many strange ways to die.

It wasn't until he got used to it later that Chen Xun understood that these were just events with a very small probability.

And Chen Xun also found out.

The letters after the death message indicate the likelihood that the death event will occur.

The very small probability is E, such as choking to death from drinking water, choking to death from eating, etc.

If there is a small probability that it will happen, it is D.

And the rest of C, B, and A, to be honest, represent that they already have a certain degree of danger.

Like the red light just now, if you take that step, you will definitely be hit by a moving car.

"And after every death event above grade B, you will get mortal blood factors."

Chen Xun didn't know what the use of this mortal blood factor was for the time being, maybe he would have to wait until the progress reached 10 before he would understand.

But.

This kind of risking his life, Chen Xun will not do.

Chen Xun closed the book and said softly to himself: "Can you predict death, but it has nothing to do with death?" What is the existence of the figure in the dream? ”

He didn't know, so he kept looking it up on his own.

Then.

There was a noise behind Chen Xun, and passers-by shouted eagerly.

"Hey, be careful!"

"Stop that kid!"

He raised an eyebrow, just about to turn back.

A figure rushed past him.

There is no doubt that the endless stream of cars can crush it to pieces in an instant.

And in this moment of electric light!

Chen Xun subconsciously stretched out his hand very quickly, the book fell under his feet, and he grabbed the shoulders of the figure violently!

Meanwhile.

Several cars raced by, with the sound of a humming air vibrating.

"Hey, be careful." Chen Xun said in a gentle voice.

The one who was caught was a boy about ten years old, he looked at Chen Xun's expression and traffic in a daze, and his face was also extremely afraid: "I'm sorry, I... I just want to pick up the ball. ”

A ball came out of his hand and rolled into the lane.

Chen Xun didn't need to open his mouth.

A bunch of passers-by have already begun to criticize him.

"The ball is important, the person is important!?"

"This bear kid almost scared me to death."

The boy also hurriedly bowed his head and apologized, just now he really didn't think too much about it and rushed out.

"You should thank this little brother."

"Little brother, the reaction just now is very fast!"

"I don't even see how it's moving."

"It's just a gesture." Chen Xun replied as he picked up the dropped book, his wrist was a little sore and bruised, obviously stopping the boy and causing him to strain directly.

My physique has been relatively weak since I was a child, and although I have grown up, it is still lower than the average level of normal people.

"I was almost taken away by this kid."

But.

Chen Xun clenched his fists, he did make a subconscious move just now, but when did he react so quickly? Could it be because of the blood factor?

After crossing the street, Chen Xun walked towards a small alley.

Several old houses are lined up in a row of different heights.

Some neighbors' uncles and aunts were exercising outside in the morning, and after seeing Chen Xun, they said with a smile: "Isn't this Xiao Chen, I haven't seen you for a long time, did you come to see your father?" ”

"Good morning, grandparents." Chen Xun replied politely with a smile, and lifted the breakfast in his hand: "Sort of, today the school organized to go to the outer city to participate in the math competition, and the place where the bus was picked up and dropped off was quite close to here, so I simply bought breakfast and came to see him." ”

An uncle who was doing pull-ups gave a thumbs up in mid-air: "I'm right, Xiao Chen is smart when he is young!" ”

"Nothing, nothing." Chen Xun was embarrassed.

You are the strongest.

"Then, I'll go upstairs first."

Wait for Chen Xun to go upstairs.

The uncles and aunts looked at his back, and said with pity: "What an excellent child, an irresponsible father." ”

They have lived here for many years.

This Chen Xun is what they watched grow up.

His mother died long ago, and his father was an irresponsible, idle man.

They often come home late, or even don't go home for days and nights.

Once when Chen Xun was still in the third grade of primary school, the man almost disappeared for half a month.

The kid had been living on leftovers from the fridge for a week before he knocked on their door and asked for help.

Afterward.

Although the man came back, the young man's aunt couldn't bear it anymore and couldn't stand it, so she took him away.

......

Chen Xun took out the key in front of the mottled door.

At this time, the man probably hasn't gotten up yet.

After the door opened.

There was a pungent smell in the small space, Chen Xun shook his head and sighed: "It's been a long time since this has been cleaned." ”

He put breakfast on the bench.

Because the table was already occupied by a pile of oily bags.

Chen Xun went to the bedroom and knocked on the door: "It's me, I brought breakfast." ”

I feel like a food delivery person.

"It's coming, it's coming."

A lazy hoarse voice came from the other side of the door.

The man pushed open the door, yawning, scratching his messy hair, looking like he hadn't woken up, and he shivered as a cold wind blew.

"Whew, it's cold, wait for me."

He swished back to the house, putting on a dirty coat: "Did I forget to close the window outside yesterday?" ”

Chen Xun calmly pointed to the window: "The last time I came, I remember that the glass was broken by the bear child downstairs. ”

The man was stunned for a moment, and he looked at the original window, where there was a hole, and the mist poured in, causing the glass edge to hang with mist.

"It seems to be."

The man rubbed his nose: "It's all because of this ghost season, it's so cold in April." ”

Chen Xun sighed: "You grow your own snack, when are you going to change it." ”

"Oh, isn't this busy?"

"Your broken job, also implement 996?"

The man laughed, "Almost." ”

Chen Xun didn't bother to take care of him, the man's work had never been told to him, he only knew that it was an errand that often needed to travel.

But when I was on a business trip, I never got in touch, and it was strange to leave my son alone at home for a month, regardless of it.

"Breakfast is served hot, the fog is so big today, it will be cold later." Chen Xun calmly instructed: "Just look at your appearance, you don't usually eat breakfast. ”

"Hahaha." The man grinned, walked to the bench, and picked up the soy milk buns: "I am very satisfied that you came to see my father and me!" ”

Chen Xun coldly denied: "Thinking too much." ”

He sat down and looked at the book in his hand.

"Today, the school organizes a competition in the outer city, and the bus will pick up people at a nearby station later, so I just stopped by."

The man's action of holding the bun stopped slightly: "Competition?" Where to? Which door to take? ”

"The location is in Xichengzi, it should be Ximen."

The man seemed relieved and continued to eat the hot buns.

He noticed that Chen Xun was looking at the book in his hand.

The Origin of World Mythology

He paused and said, "Boy, don't read these extracurricular books." ”

"Aren't you a junior in high school, study hard and work hard to improve your grades."

"In the future, it is important to be admitted to a good university and find a good job."

The man suddenly became a little chattering, and the mother-in-law got up.

Chen Xun frowned.

The man who never took the initiative to contact him and cared about spoke in such a disciplining tone of pretended concern, and he only felt very harsh.

Chen Xun closed the book: "Don't worry, I won't live like you sloppy, the bus is coming, I should also go." ”

"Why did my son start teaching Lao Tzu a lesson, hey."

The man smiled helplessly, but he was not surprised, he stretched: "Then I won't send you, I still have to work later, you go and play hard." ”

Chen Xun left the room without looking back.

The door was shut.

The man swallowed the bun and sighed: "Stinky boy." ”

He walked back to his room, picked up a jacket from the pile of clothes scattered on the bed, and pulled out a long box.

He got dressed and carried the box on his back.

The phone rang and he answered it.

A voice came from over there:

"Observe the reaction of the Lost Domain, the location is confirmed to be near the South Gate, and the location will be sent to your mobile phone."

"Okay."

The man spat out a word, his voice still hoarse.

But as if he had changed a person, his tone became no longer lazy, and he said in a deep voice.

"I'll be there right away."
