Chapter 1: The Awoken
"Kiki, in fact, there are some words that I have hidden in my heart for a long, long time."
"Today I finally mustered up the courage to tell you the love I have hidden in my heart."
"I like you..."
In the private room of the KTV, a teenager was talking to himself to the wall with his head down, holding a bouquet of bright red roses.
"No, it looks like I'm too casual."
Today is Han Meng's eighteenth birthday, and as for the Qiqi in his mouth, she is a childhood sweetheart who grew up together.
Facing the upcoming date of the college entrance examination, the graduation season is also the breakup season, in order not to leave regrets for his youth, Han Meng decided to take advantage of his birthday banquet to have a "grand" confession.
He has been simulating such a scenario for several hours.
Han Meng sighed, put the roses in his hand on the table, and leaned back on the sofa.
Picking up the phone and glancing at the time, Wang Jiaqi was already fifteen minutes late.
"What's going on?"
"Doesn't feel right?"
Han Meng muttered to himself, having a bad premonition in his heart, picked up his mobile phone and dialed the phone.
Listening to the mobile phone ringing over there, but the phone still didn't connect.
Several phone calls in succession, all the same.
Han Meng was a little restless, and walked out of the KTV box, ready to go to her home to have a look.
As soon as he walked downstairs, a pendant on Han Meng's chest suddenly emitted a faint light.
Reaching out and grabbing the pendant, Han Meng's face was a little puzzled.
Han Meng didn't know what this pendant was, but it seemed to have been worn on his body since he was a child, and over the years, Han Meng had often had a strange dream.
In the dream, a woman put the pendant on an infant child, with a loving smile on her face.
But this woman, Han Meng didn't know, and it was completely different from his parents.
The faint light blooming on the pendant seemed to be guiding Han Meng's direction.
Walking through an alley, there was a violent sound from inside, like the momentum of a fight.
Han Meng plunged into the alley, and under the embellishment of the moonlight, he saw a scene that made his mouth open wide.
A huge lizard, covered in hideous scales, like a raging beast, dripping with a fishy liquid.
In front of the lizard, there was a young girl, dressed in a snow-white princess dress, with an ugly face, half-squatting on the ground.
Holding one hand on her shoulder, blood slid down the wound on her shoulder, staining her snow-white princess dress red.
"Kiki!"
Han Meng let out an exclamation and ran wildly in the direction of the girl.
The moment Wang Jiaqi turned around and saw Han Meng, her face became even more ugly.
"Don't come here!"
Wang Jiaqi roared at Han Meng.
The huge lizard also raised its claws and attacked Wang Jiaqi's body.
Wang Jiaqi's body turned slightly sideways, dodging the lizard's blow, and then the jade hand waved slightly.
A large syringe appears out of thin air.
Plunged into the lizard's arm.
The lizard let out a scream of pain when it was injured.
Han Meng, who was in the distance, was already dumbfounded by the scene he saw.
What the hell is this monster?
Why is it here?
The childhood sweetheart who grew up with him, and the ability to summon the needle out of thin air?
This scene beyond cognition impacted Han Meng's brain.
Let Han Meng stand in place stupidly.
While Han Meng was stunned, the lizard had already launched its own attack again, and a punch blasted out, knocking Wang Jiaqi's body away.
A graceful arc was drawn in the air and landed directly beside Han Meng.
There was also a terrible scream from his mouth.
The screaming sound brought back Han Meng's thoughts, and Han Meng quickly ran to Wang Jiaqi's side.
"Kiki, are you alright?"
"What the hell is going on?"
Wang Jiaqi's expression was extremely painful, and now was not the time to explain.
The lizard had already killed the two of them.
"Be careful!"
Wang Jiaqi shouted anxiously and wanted to stand up, but the injury on her body made her lose the ability to move.
Han Meng turned to look, and the lizard raised its claws, and the fishy liquid dripping from its body hit Han Meng's sight.
The fear from the heart made Han Meng's body tremble slightly, but he still stood firmly in place.
The lizard roared, and its claws continued to expand in front of Han Meng's eyes.
Under the threat of death, Han Meng closed his eyes almost subconsciously.
At the critical moment, the pendant on his chest bloomed with a strong light, and then shattered.
Turned into a six-pointed star circle, enveloping Han Meng's whole body.
The voice that came from nowhere echoed in Han Meng's ears.
"Sequence 001, the name of the creation of all things."
"Awakened: Han Meng."
Before Han Meng could figure out what was going on, the dark world under his eyes was closed, and he inexplicably imagined the picture of the lizard shattering.
As this image appeared, the lizard's falling claws froze in mid-air.
The whole person's body began to twist, as if it was being squeezed by gravity.
Like a deflated ball, it fell apart.
Blood splattered out, staining Han Meng's body red.
Han Meng opened his eyes and saw the crumbling body of the lizard, and a strong tingling sensation came from his brain.
Under the severe pain, Han Meng unconsciously knelt on the ground.
His vision began to blur, as if he had lost his sight, and he gradually lost sight of the scene in front of him.
"Han Meng, Han Meng."
With a burst of familiar voices, Han Meng gradually lost consciousness.
