An inexplicable space-time, on a planet similar to Earth.

As soon as he entered the community and let go of the car behind him, Xu Yiwen smelled the tail smell of the car, and a sour smell rushed up in his throat, and he hurriedly rushed to a magnolia tree next to the road in the community, holding the trunk with his hand and began to vomit.

"Damn, Lao Tzu's stomach will have to drink out of the stomach perforation sooner or later. After Xu Yiwen vomited, he stood beside the tree for a while, his stomach calmed down a little, and he quickly drank a few sips of pure water to rinse his mouth and spit on the ground, and then sat down on the rest chair in the community garden and gasped for a few breaths.

Xu Yiwen is 29 years old this year, a technician in the development department of a foreign company, and the head of the new product development department, who is responsible for standardizing the products of the factory and laboratory of the US headquarters. Because he often deals with the United States, every time the headquarters sends someone to sign and mark the standard samples of new products, he tracks the situation throughout the process and reports to his boss in time. Every time these people come over, the company has to arrange for the beautiful little girl from the marketing department and the quality assurance department to have a relationship with them, so that when the product is tried to sign the sample, the people at the headquarters will raise their hands to demarcate the standard lower, and the yield rate of the production line will go up. Xu Yiwen accompanied the whole process of eating and singing this weekend night, and the little girls from the marketing department and the quality assurance department were able to drink, which coaxed several Taiwanese people to be happy. Xu Yiwen, as a representative of the new product development class, also accompanied a lot of wine and made a little joke to liven up the atmosphere. It's one o'clock in the night, and I've just returned.

Xu Yiwen sat on the rest chair and let out a long breath. "Luckily, today is the weekend, so I can rest for two days. Damn, I forgot to call home, so I quickly sent a text message to my mother. Xu Yiwen shook his heavy head, took out his mobile phone from his pocket, and sent a text message to his mother: Mom, I accompanied the customer to dinner today, and I forgot to call home. I just got home, and I will contact my family in the afternoon, and I will be closed this weekend. Son, Yi Wen.

After sending the text message, Xu Yiwen leaned back again, squinting at the community garden. Liangxi City is located in the hinterland of the Yangtze River Delta Plain, the southern part of Jiangnan Province, the transportation center of the Taihu Lake Basin, through which the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal passes, and has been a prosperous and rich place in the south of the Yangtze River since ancient times. Liangxi City has developed rapidly in the past decade, and the city has expanded dramatically, with new buildings and landmarks everywhere. It's one o'clock in the morning, but there is no starlight in the night sky, the sky glows a faint orange, and it is May, and countless neon lights obscure the city in the sky, showing off the greatness of industry to the stars of eternity.

The neighborhood is very quiet, it is an old neighborhood located on the bank of the moat, and most of the people who live there are elderly people. At midnight, most of the old people have gone to bed early, and the young people's nightlife is arranged in the commercial area a few blocks away. The street lamps of the community emit a bright white light, not dazzling, the flowing water of the garden rockery has long stopped, a few dotted fluorescent lamps hang on the stones, only the moths that fly by from time to time attract the koi in the fish pond to jump out, and the splash of a little splash breaks the quiet.

Xu Yiwen is not good-looking, only 1.7 meters, a little short-sighted, years of office work has deformed his figure early, and there is a circle of fat on his stomach, and he is disgusted when he looks at it. It's been seven years since I graduated from college, and it's been almost five years since I came to Liangxi City, most of my college classmates are married and have children, and Lao Xu is still single. When I first graduated, I entered a state-owned enterprise, went on a business trip, and after two or three years, I was ambitious, and I resigned from my job. When I came to Liangxi, I got a new job and didn't have to travel, which is good, and I became addicted to the game. Lack of exercise for a long time, returning to the rented house after work is to eat and drink, play games, watch American dramas, animation, go to forums and brag with others, and become a complete otaku.

Xu Yiwen is a native of Rongcheng, Shu Province, the only child in the family, and his parents also retired early at home. Because there is no pressure, and I don't care about getting married, this delay is almost thirty.

"When is this job a head? I'm not too young, do you want to buy a house and find a wife? Although my parents didn't mention it, they also said that I should see fate by myself, but I go to work every day, the fate of bullshit. ”

"The money in hand is enough to get a two-bedroom apartment in the new area to pay a down payment, decoration or something. I still have to repay the loan every month, I can't lose my job, I'm almost thirty, and it's not easy to find a new job. ”

"My parents are in Rongcheng for the elderly, and I am in Liangxi, so I can't take care of anything if I really have my body. There is no corresponding job, and the salary is not high, which is sad. Forget it, it's useless to think so much, go back and get two Age of Empires and sleep. ”

Xu Yiwen patted his pants and stood up, shaking his head and preparing to walk towards the rented unit building, when he suddenly saw a small patch of gray on the front cover of a red minicooper on the side of the road on his left, which emitted a faint white light in the night. "New labeling?fluorescent?" Xu Yiwen stepped forward, dizzy after drinking, and couldn't see clearly with glasses.

"How is it a leaf? is it really a label?" Xu Yiwen stared at the leaves that glowed slightly in front of him, and couldn't help touching it with his hand. "It's not a sticker, it's a little leaf. Holding the leaves in his hand, only one finger long, and the petiole was only one and a half fingers, Xu Yiwen found that this white light was emitted from the gray leaves, and the faint golden veins were inlaid in it.

"Are the leaves gray? What kind of tree is this?" Xu Yiwen looked up at the big trees around him, and there were no similar leaves. "How can there be light after spraying fluorescents?" Xu Yiwen couldn't see the reason for a while, and was ready to take the leaves home and check them on the Internet to see what the source was.

dragging his tired body, Xu Yiwen finally returned to the house he rented. A small one-bedroom suite, with a rent of 1,000 a month, is better than freedom. After taking a shower and going to bed, Xu Yiwen leaned on the head of the bed and used his broken notebook to check the relevant information on the Internet.

"It turned out to be an oak leaf, but it's different from the one on the Internet, why is it gray. "Under the light of the room, the light of the gray leaves was gone, the smooth edges of the leaves, without the tips of the leaves, the mesophyll was thick, and there was no wilting appearance at all, and the pale golden veins grew in the mesophyll. The veins of the leaves are thick and powerful, and if you look closely, there are golden patterns that seem to wander in them, making this leaf full of mystery.

"Will the pattern move?" Xu Yiwen thought he was dazzled, hurriedly took off his glasses, took out a fifteen-fold monocular magnifying glass from the drawer of the bedside table to look at the appearance of the product, and followed the light to observe the leaves.

In the mirror, Xu Yiwen clearly saw the mysterious patterns, which turned out to be strange symbols. They are freely combined into pieces of runes of varying lengths, wandering among the veins of the leaves like fish in water. From the top to the end, some of the runes are composed of four or five symbols, and some are composed of more than ten or twenty symbols, they swim around, chasing each other, although the speed is slow but does not collide, and when they reach the petiole, they are scattered into a single symbol, dotted with stars, and it is very beautiful. The symbol was born from the combination of the petiole into a sentence of symbols, which flowed slowly along the leaf veins, and finally returned to the leaf veins, and returned to the symbols.

"TF!" Xu Yiwen couldn't help but sigh when he saw this. "What the is this!" "Artifacts, strange objects, magic weapons?" Xu Yiwen was excited for a while and calmed down. "You can't sell it, you can only know this thing by yourself, and something too mysterious will definitely be investigated. Surrender to the state, at most, give some money, and arrange a quiet job. The opportunity is in your own hands, you must grasp it, your own is the real capital. "After all, how the hell is this thing going on?"

Xu Yiwen is also a senior reader who has been reading online articles for a long time, "Dripping blood to recognize the master?" Xu Yiwen of Ben San is not very bold, and he is also a melon-eating crowd when he sees thieves and robbers. You have to let him step forward to stop him, he doesn't dare, the key is that he doesn't have that combat effectiveness, his parents are still alive, and he needs to be taken care of in the future.

"Let's try something else first. "Lao Xu is a little cowardly. I took a large cup, took out purified water from the refrigerator and poured half a cup, soaked the leaves in the cup, waited for ten minutes, and nothing happened. "Do you want to drink water?" Old Xu Dong Dong drank the water in the cup in one go, waited for a few minutes, and did nothing, during which he let out a fart. "Don't feel it?" Xu Yiwen was a little confused. Burning with fire, Lao Xu was afraid that the leaves would be gone, so he could only use a knife to see if he could cut it. In a cautious attitude, Xu Yiwen took out a utility knife and slowly cut to the petiole. "Just cut a little bit and try it. As a result, Lao Xu even used his strength to eat, and the petiole did not cut a line, and the knife edge collapsed. Xu Yiwen was a little relieved, burning, tongue licking, teeth biting... Mantras, prayers, summons of the gods and Buddhas... Lao Xu even wiped his fat face with leaves a few times, and even shouted "Come out, Dragon Fighter!" several times, but to no avail.

"It seems that it can only be a drop of blood. "There's no way, I can only use the first true method of this online text. Lao Xu was afraid of pain, so he had to carefully take the utility knife, carefully wipe it with alcohol, and gently cut the belly of the ring finger of his left hand, which is not very commonly used, and squeezed a few drops of blood on the leaves. The gray leaves remained unchanged.

"it!" Lao Xu was anxious, took the knife, and cut the wound a little more. The secondary damage deepened, and Lao Xu's tears were about to fall. Xu Yiwen smeared the blood on the left ring finger on the leaves. Left, left, right, up and down, triangle, circle, square, Lao Xu squandered various patterns on the leaf surface, and the leaves still did not react. The blood does not stick to the leaf at all, and it is still a pale gray color.

Xu Yiwen was about to cry, it was all for nothing to work for so long, and he couldn't help but bend his bloody fingers to retract. At this time, the wound on the finger cuts through the leaf surface to the petiole. When Lao Xu's blood touched the thick petiole root, the long-awaited vision finally happened.

The root of the petiole silently adhered to the wound, and the symbols on it broke free one by one, forming a circle of light around the leaves in the air. Xu Yiwen felt that his fingers were heating up, and huge waves came from the wound, along the fingers of his left hand, forearm, and arm to his heart. This huge wave and Lao Xu's heartbeat gradually coincided. Xu Yiwen felt that when his heart was beating, he gradually emitted a sound that was clearly recognizable to the human ear, poof, poof, in this heartbeat, the leaves quickly became smaller, and the golden light emitted by the symbol became stronger and stronger. Finally, the light became a tiny needle-like light that burrowed into the wound at once.

At this time, Xu Yiwen only felt a loud shock coming from his body, and his whole body made a loud bang, and poor old Xu fainted on the sheets.
