Chapter 3: Change
"Tick, tick, tick......"
The sound of the second hand beating reached his ears, and Leo opened his eyes to see the familiar yellowing ceiling.
Am I dreaming?
He looked at everything in the room in a bit of a daze, and finally his eyes focused on the clock on the wall.
The time shown above is 6:01.
Have I slept for so long......
What I experienced last night, is it really a dream?
That's all too true, isn't it?
There was joy in his heart, and then a faint fear appeared.
I'm glad that I finally slept normally once, and I'm afraid of the nightmare experience that happened last night.
His somewhat scattered thoughts slowly condensed, and the next moment, a strong pain spread from his chest to his whole body.
"Ahem......"
Leo snorted, his right hand clutching his chest, the pain making him curl up uncomfortably, and it took a long time before it slowly eased.
Lying on the bed, sweat soaked through his clothes, and even with the sheets underneath, there were large sweat stains.
"Whew...... Whew......"
He breathed softly, for fear of causing pain in his chest from too much force.
Fortunately, after the initial intense pain, the subsequent pain has slowly subsided.
Ten minutes later, Leo was lying on his back on the bed, staring blankly at the character that appeared in front of him.
[Soul Fire Color: Light Gray]
[Soul Fire Brightness: 1.15]
[Current Status: Minor Injury, Hunger]
Flesh wound? Hunger?
After the pain subsided, he did now feel his stomach "rumbling" and protested against him.
As for minor injuries, he remembers that last night the characters showed serious injuries, but now they have become minor injuries?
The hunger in the abdomen became more and more intense, and even suppressed the residual pain in the chest.
Leo slowly got up and walked out of the room to the kitchen.
On the dining table, there are several plates covered with plates, and the orange "warm" light on the rice cooker is still on.
He lifted the plate, saw the dishes that were already cold below, and subconsciously swallowed his saliva.
Taking the bowl and serving the rice, Leo sat down at the table and ate the meal in a big gulp.
"Smack."
The sound of the door opening, and a slightly slender figure stepped out of the room.
Seeing the young man sitting at the dining table, the girl's eyes were filled with excitement and joy.
"Little Ao ......"
After a week, she finally saw her brother eating so happily again.
Hearing the shout, Leo slowed down his eating a little and looked up at the girl standing in front of the door.
She has a good face, long black hair is softly draped over her shoulders, and a goose-yellow dress outlines the beautiful curves of her body.
It's my sister, Li Fei.
"Sorry for worrying you ...... this time"
Leo whispered.
"......" Li Fei's eyes were a little red, looking at the rice cooker that was almost bottoming out, she hurriedly said: "Is the rice enough, it's not enough for me to cook some more." ”
Leo touched his stomach, a small half pot of rice into his stomach, the amount that was enough for him to eat in the past only relieved his hunger a little at this time, and after hesitating, he still said honestly: "It's true that I'm still a little hungry." ”
"You wait, my sister will do it."
Looking at Leo's embarrassed look, Li Fei smiled and said.
Half an hour later.
Leo put down the chopsticks in his hand and breathed a long sigh of relief.
Although the hunger in his stomach has not completely disappeared, he is still seventy percent full, of course, the main reason is that he has already eaten a whole pot of rice, and he is a little worried that his stomach will not be able to stand it if he eats it again.
Facing the slightly worried eyes of his sister at the table, Leo smiled, "I'm full." ”
Hearing this, Li Fei breathed a sigh of relief, seeing that her younger brother had eaten so much at once, to be honest, she was a little worried.
But no matter how you say it, it's much better than eating almost nothing before.
She looked at the clock and found that it was almost 7 o'clock, and got up in a panic after a "oops": "It's over, it's over, I have to leave quickly, if I don't leave, I'll be late." Xiao Ao, you can go outside for lunch by yourself, and I'll make you something delicious when I come back in the evening......"
While talking, my sister rushed into the toilet, brushed her teeth and washed her face and put on light makeup, and then hurried out.
"Bang!"
The door closed, and the smile on Leo's face slowly faded, and he sighed.
After his parents passed away, it was his sister who pulled him to grow up, and he was also his mother and sister.
Li Fei is five years older than him, but in order to provide him with sword learning, he goes out early and returns late every day, wearing many hats.
He thought of the swordsman finale in a month's time, and his eyes gradually became firm......
After the swordsman successfully sets the stage, he can get a lot of subsidies every month, and the swordsman can participate in various events and win prizes.
It can be said that only by successfully setting the stage can we rely on swordsmanship to make a living in today's society.
After tidying up the dining table, Leo went to the bathroom to take a shower.
He didn't feel much when he was hungry just now, but now that the hunger subsided slightly, he felt sticky and greasy all over his body, and he was uncomfortable.
After taking a shower, he stood in front of the mirror in his underwear and looked at himself in the mirror.
Because of his long-term swordsmanship practice, the muscles on his body are sharp and streamlined, rather than the exaggerated and full that comes out of gym training.
Leo clenched his fists, and for some reason, he felt that his strength seemed to have increased a lot.
Is it a delusion?
He walked out of the bathroom topless, went into the room, took a hardwood sword from his sword pouch, and began to slash tentatively.
As soon as he moved, he sensed that something was wrong.
It's too light......
A hardwood sword that used to weigh just as much is now wielded with ease.
After repeated attempts to confirm that this feeling was not his own delusion, Leo looked at his right hand holding the sword, and suddenly his emotions became complicated.
Both surprise and trepidation.
Pleasantly surprised that after his strength became stronger, he would have a greater possibility of improving in his swordsmanship. The strange dream that I was afraid of bringing about changes was not illusory, it was likely to be real, and what unknown direction would I go in the future?
That's when it happened.
"Ding!"
The phone placed at the bedside made a text message tone.
Leo retracted his thoughts, went to the bedside, picked up his phone, and looked at the screen.
"Leo, today is Sunday, the sword gym is on holiday, do you want to come to my family's battle club to play? Today the club has invited a hypnotist who may be able to help you in your situation. ”
The owner of the text message, is Antonio.
Leo's eyes lit up.
He wasn't much interested in hypnotists.
He didn't think that the unbelievable nightmare he experienced could be solved by the so-called hypnotic master.
But in the battle, he was a little eager to try.
What could be more clearly felt the changes in your body than a hearty sword duel?
