Prologue

Before I was 10 years old, I wanted to be a scientist when I grew up, invent a lot of great things, and just like the main character in my favorite cartoon, I would save the earth and fight the bad guys in the future.

For love and justice, for our peaceful and beautiful world.

Before I was 20 years old, I was a person with a sense of justice and a person who liked to fight grievances. However, when I was in middle school, my tutor told me not to be so nosy. That's when I started to keep my mouth shut and start to really understand the world.

Before the age of 30, I worked in the society for a few years and realized what the reality of the world is. In reality, it doesn't matter whether things are right or wrong, what matters is relationships, money, and status.

There is no such thing as justice and justice. Money and power are justice and justice.

Like me, a small ordinary person with no money, no power, no status and no connections, I can't do anything in the face of injustice and injustice.

This world is not as beautiful as I imagined when I was a child, and I can't do anything. Every day is to go to work and get off work, with a meager salary, life is slim and purposeless.

Now I'm thirty-six years old and have nothing.

has no wife, no children, no car and no house, and looking back on the past 36 years, it seems that there are no deep memories to speak of.

My life is empty and boring.

But there's nothing to complain about, it's my choice, after all, I can't get enough of the world.

My name is Chen Mo, because I can only be silent.

Maybe I'll just be silent until the end of my life.

But in my heart, even though it is small, I also hope for ......

I have the strength not to be silent.

Chapter I

It was a cloudless, sunny day. At noon, it was windless and muggy.

Chen Mo sat in front of the computer, concentrating on slashing monsters in the game, and a big electric fan was whistling in the strong wind beside him.

Suddenly, Chen Mo's spirits perked up, because when he hacked a monster to death, a green pillar of light representing a treasure appeared on the screen, as well as a special sound effect of "ding".

"Finally dropped the treasure, it's so, it took two hours to come out with this one. 」

Chen Mo thought depressedly in his heart. No matter what game he plays, his luck doesn't seem to be very good, the same game, often with the guild partner can hit a treasure in an hour, but it takes him two or three hours to harvest, so he is always nicknamed the "black-faced" clan.

"I hope to give me something good. 」

Chen Mo shook the mouse cursor to the green pillar of light and clicked it, but the green pillar of light that was supposed to be picked up and then disappeared did not respond, and when Chen Mo was stunned, the words "connection interruption" popped up on the screen.

"Wow, no, it's disconnected for me!"

Chen Mo was stunned at first, and then thought that he had been doing day work for the past two hours, and then turned off the game in frustration.

However, after all, the game is just a game, just to pass the time, and the dissatisfaction in Chen Mo's heart did not last long.

From the point of view of modern society, Chen Mo is a very standard otaku, who doesn't like to go out, and is addicted to online novels and anime games. However, for Chen Mo, it was not so much an addiction as it was just a matter of letting him have something to do, because he didn't know what to do.

"Work, ......"

Chen Mo leaned back in his chair and pondered.

He is 36 years old this year, and he worked in his last job for 10 years, but he was laid off without warning. Because he had an argument with someone, and that person was related to the boss, he ...... You know the results.

As for the cause of the incident, it was discovered by Chen Mo that the other party had embezzled public funds, and after being bumped into later, he accused Chen Mo of a crime. Because that person was a relative of the boss, Chen Mo's words were not believed very much, and in the end, Chen Mo didn't want to say anything.

In the following two years, Chen Mo simply stayed at home and relied on the savings he left before. Fortunately, he is still unmarried, has no wife to take care of, and has little pressure to live alone. But his mother always nagged Chen Mo to go out and find a job.

But Chen Mo always can't lift his energy, he has no goal in life, his life is muddy, even if he has to work hard, he doesn't know what to work for.

Live simply because you're alive?

After thinking about it, he couldn't come up with any conclusions, so Chen Mo got up and walked to the balcony outside the room to relax.

It's just that at this time, Chen Mo found that on the originally blue and cloudless sky, a phantom light body similar to the aurora actually appeared.

"It's not scientific......

Although you can see many strange phenomena that cannot be explained by science on the Internet, this is the first time that Chen Mo has experienced it personally.

However, at this time, Chen Mo didn't notice that no one in the neighborhood came out to pay attention to the abnormal phase in the sky, as if he didn't know it at all.

After looking at it for a while, Chen Mo couldn't understand it at all, but at this time, the light body in the sky was slowly distorting and flickering, as if it was a precursor to something that was going to happen.

Suddenly, the space around the light body shattered like a mirror, and two behemoths, one green and one black, shattered the space and rushed into this world.

The green one was an oriental divine dragon with a whole body of emerald green, although it was too far away to see the details, Chen Mo could still feel the intimidating momentum emanating from its body.

The black one was a western dragon, with a huge black body with a layer of black iron armor, and where the iron armor was not covered, the black dragon scales as rough as rocks were covered with cobweb-like cracks, and blazing flames erupted from the cracks.

It's just that the iron chin with a very good shape makes Chen Mo more familiar the more he looks at it.

"W-isn't this Deathwing?"

Deathwing is a famous villain in the game World of Warcraft, a dragon who is always looking to destroy the world. Chen Mo has also played that game for a few years, and has seen its images and pictures many times, so he is naturally too familiar to be familiar with it.

"Is it a stereoscopic image?"

Chen Mo looked around, compared to such a thing as Deathwing's invasion of the earth, he still believed that someone was playing a prank on everyone with high technology.

It's just that no matter what Chen Mo thinks, one green and one black, the dragons of the East and the West are entangled together, and there is a fierce battle.

Qinglong has the advantage of body length, coiling around the body of Deathwing to bind it tightly, but Deathwing's strength is greater, and the thick front paws directly tear off a large piece of Qinglong's chest.

The body of the green dragon directly disintegrated and shattered in mid-air, and after falling to a certain height, Chen Mo saw clearly that those pieces were not flesh and blood, but countless green trees of all sizes with branches and leaves, and they were smashing down in a large range in the direction where Chen Mo was.

Don't look at it when it is high in the sky, it is just a small area, the further it falls, the larger the area, and after a while, Chen Mo's vision is full of large and small green trees.

Where can you escape? Chen Mo saw that there were many giant trees, larger than their house, and it was easy to smash the entire house to the ground if they fell from such a high place.

It's just that death came suddenly, but Chen Mo didn't feel any fear in his heart, he just felt quite inexplicable, and then closed his eyes.

It's just that time passes by a second, but the expected impact has not yet arrived, Chen Mo opened his eyes and found that the sky was still blue, how could there be any existence of a green dragon and a black dragon.

"Hallucinations, or virtual images? That's too realistic. 」

Chen Mo's heart was full of doubts.

In a conversation with his neighbors a little later, Chen Mo found that no one had seen anything unusual except him, and there was no mention of it in the evening news.

In the end, Chen Mo could only understand the hallucinations caused by playing too many games, although he had not touched Warcraft for many years.

After a few more days, Chen Mo didn't encounter anything abnormal, and gradually, he forgot about it. This is a society of information explosion, and anything strange is easy for people to accept, even if the aliens come tomorrow, the people will talk about it for a few days at most, and then how they should live their lives.

On this day, Chen Mo received work and was about to go out, but after opening the door, he stood for more than ten seconds, and then silently closed the door.

"Is it the wrong way to open it......

This time, Chen Mo changed his hand, and then twisted the doorknob of the door.

Outside the door, although it was the street scene that Chen Mo had always been familiar with, it was as if it had been plowed by artillery fire, and many buildings collapsed and fell, just like a ruin.

"It's not scientific......

Chen Mo's first thought was the war, but it was fine on the street yesterday, even if a war broke out at night, he couldn't have slept to death without discovering anything, right?

At that moment, Chen Mo returned to the house, he lived with his mother and younger brother, although they went to work early in the morning, Chen Mo still searched the house up and down.

There was no one at home, but the glass of the doors and windows was broken and splashed, and the decoration was a mess, as if it had been swept by a storm.

Chen Moke remembers very clearly that when he was about to go out, the house was still neat and tidy, and it was like a mess now.

"Crossing?"

Chen Mo immediately thought of these two words, this word has been quite popular recently, and he usually reads a lot of time-traveling novels on the Internet, so it is naturally easy to think of them. But if it's really on yourself, it's too.

Chen Mo, who was messy in his heart and didn't know how to be good, hesitated again and again, but chose to walk out of the door. Whether it's a crossing or not, it's better to figure out the current situation first, and it's better to find someone to ask.

Most of the houses on their side are lined up in rows, with a height of about three or four floors, commonly known as the Tiancuo. This is a township, and there are relatively few buildings, and there are only three buildings near Chen Mo's house. As far as the eye can see, there is a building that is in a half-dilapidated state, and it looks like it is about to collapse at any time.

The windows were destroyed, the facades were peeling, and many houses were in ruins.

On the side of the road in front of Chen Mo's house, there was originally a farmland full of corn, but now there is a big crater in the field, as if it has been hit by a meteorite.

Chen Mo stood next to the pit and saw that there was only a branch about an arm's length and three fingers thick in the center of the pit, and there was nothing else. Chen Mo walked over curiously, and then picked up the branch.

"It's heavy. 」

Although it looks like wood, it feels very heavy to the touch, as if it is made of metal. It would not be surprising that such a heavy thing would be smashed from a very high place and smashed into such a large hole.

Smash it down......

At this time, Chen Mo remembered the vision he had seen a few days ago, and he suddenly understood the origin of this disaster, which was clearly caused by the fragments that fell from the green dragon's body.

So, this branch in his hand is part of the green dragon?

Chen Mo curiously touched the branch here and there, but apart from the peculiar material, he couldn't see anything.

If you don't understand, you don't want to, now Chen Mo wants to know more, what kind of place is this?

He thought that the scene he saw a few days ago was just an illusion, but from what happened here, it was obvious that it was not, but happened in another world, but Chen Mo didn't know why he saw it.

Now Chen Mo can only be sure that this is not the world he lives in, as for what place this is, he can only rely on slow exploration.

Using the branch in his hand as a crutch, Chen Mo slowly walked out. Although this branch is not abnormal, it is quite easy to use as a weapon, especially in such an inexplicable place, it is still more reassuring to have a weapon.

Along the way, Chen Mo first searched the homes of his neighbors on the left and right, but found that there was no one, which made Chen Mo even more depressed.

Just as Chen Mo walked to the intersection, there were some sounds on the other side of the corner, and Chen Mo immediately walked away, with some vague expectations in his heart.

But on the side around the corner, it was not the figure that Chen Mo hoped for, but three red-skinned humanoid creatures that were only as tall as Chen Mo's waist.

The little monsters had two sharp right angles and long pointed ears on their heads, which felt like goats' heads, but their bodies were human, only a little hunchbacked, their skin was blood-red like blood, and they were holding machetes that were a little bigger than kitchen knives.

When Chen Mo saw those little monsters, they were rummaging through boxes and cabinets in the shopkeeper on the side of the road, wreaking havoc. After seeing Chen Mo, the three little monsters immediately stopped and looked at Chen Mo with glowing eyes.

Chen Mo instinctively knew that it was the eyes that saw the food after he was hungry, and the saliva of the mud horse flowed out.

What now? Do you want to do it or do you want to run?

The ghost island where Chen Mo lives is still very peaceful most of the time, so Chen Mo has not had the opportunity to fight with people since he was a child, so when he encounters this situation, Chen Mo doesn't know how to react for a while.

But those little monsters didn't give Chen Mo time, and rushed towards Chen Mo with machetes held high.

"Although I feel that death is nothing to be afraid of, but when I am eaten by a little monster like you, it will be pulled out as a poop, and no matter what I think in my heart, I can't accept it!"

Chen Mo, who had an inexplicable outbreak, held the branch with both hands and swung it out hard, knocking one of the little red monsters flying a few meters, and the remaining two little red monsters took the opportunity to slash Chen Mo's thigh and back, but Chen Mo was forced to retreat with a stick.

Those little monsters are not stupid, they also know how to dodge when they see Chen Mo calling, Chen Mo swung his stick several times before hitting the head of the second little monster. But at this time, the third little monster took the opportunity to climb to a high place and jumped directly on Chen Mo's face, and the machete in his hand even inserted into Chen Mo's shoulder.

Chen Mo roared in pain, dropped the branches, grabbed the little monster on his body with both hands, and then inserted the steel bars exposed from the cement fragments on the roadside.

The little monster that was hanging in the air through his chest was not dead for a while, and his limbs struggled to get rid of it, but as Chen Mo went down, it was completely quiet.

As for the first little monster that was beaten out, it crawled on the ground half-dead, and Chen Mo also ended its life with a stick.

"What is this......

Chen Mo, who was injured, dragged the blood back to the house, and found some towels to cover the wounds on his body, but the wound on his shoulder was too deep to stop the bleeding, and Chen Mo didn't know what to do. It's a hell of a place like this, and you can't call an ambulance.

Sitting on the bed that was cleaned up, Chen Mo only felt that his consciousness was getting more and more blurred, and his thoughts were chaotic until he fell into darkness.

It's hot, it's hot.

In a daze, Chen Mo was woken up by the heat.

At noon in June on Ghost Island, it is really not something that people can endure if they don't turn on the air conditioner or fan. Chen Mo was woken up by the heat, and when he woke up, his whole body was covered in sweat, as if he was soaked in water.

Chen Mo sat up and saw that everything around him was neat and tidy, and the window glass was not broken, so he couldn't help but pat his cheek with one hand.

Feeling the pain on his face, Chen Mo slowly got up.

"It's such a messy nightmare, can there be such sequelae when playing games? 」

Looking back now, aren't those red-skinned little monsters the cannon fodder ** demons in D3? He has been playing D3 wildly for a while, and the peak level has gone from ten to more than four hundred, no wonder those little devils were very familiar at the time, but he didn't recognize them. But it's too to dream of monsters in the game.

Chen Mo, who was covered in sweat, walked to the bathroom, turned on the cold water and flushed it, but when he saw himself in the mirror, the shower head in his hand fell directly to the ground.

In the mirror, there were several slender scars on his face, and there was a large wound on his shoulder that had just healed, and the shocking scars made Chen Mo's heart beat violently.

That's not a dream.
