Lord of the Mysteries: Yao Guang

Chapter 1 Freshmen
1348 11 Month 9 Day.

Loen Kingdom Ahwa County, Tingen City.

The cold wind of late autumn blows into Iron Cross Street. At the intersection of the street at three o'clock in the morning, except for the homeless homeless or the unconscious drunk, no one is still lingering on the street.The street vendors who are struggling to make a living will not come out until at least around five o'clock to prepare for a new day of business. Now is their rest time, and only rats crawl out of the sewer.

The broken wooden board hanging "Vulture Bar" swayed in the wind. Suddenly, a crackling sound came from the half-open door, and the rusty iron chain at the upper left corner of the signboard suddenly broke and half collapsed.

No one will come to see, the tired people are seizing the time before dawn to huddle under the blankets to rest, and the vigilant small group all know that the owner of this tavern disappeared half a month ago, after the bartender took away the cash , the rest of the things that can be exchanged for money have been divided up by them.In this kind of place, disappearing out of thin air is basically synonymous with death. No one will bother to run this dilapidated store. Maybe in a month or so, there will be a new owner with a sign like "Vulture Bar", Fill up the basement here again with shitty alcohol mixed with water.

At this time, in this empty underground storage room, there was a young girl slowly propped up from the ground.

Li Xing was woken up by the sound of the explosion close to her face. When she opened her eyes, her right hand was blocking her right eyes, and she was holding something tightly in her palm.She didn't let go, but propped up her body with her fists so that she could sit up and take a deep breath. She seemed to have been suffocated for a long time, feeling as if she had just crawled out of the bottom of the sea.

The body was very stiff, it didn't look like his own, Li Xing shook his head vigorously, trying to wake up from the inexplicable sense of dislocation.

A candle in the center of the floor provided her with enough light, but it was only burning out.

[This is... where is this?How am I dressed...]
Li Xing muttered to himself, she raised her arms, and glanced at the dusty and wrinkled suit on her body. This suit did not fit at all. The shoulders and arms were longer than hers. She shook her head, looking As far as the hair hanging on the bridge of her nose, it was not the black she was familiar with, but a light cinnamon yellow that was slightly curly, like golden frost and moonlight.

Li Xing shivered suddenly, and wanted to pull more strands of hair from her head with her free left hand, but she tore off several strands directly with too much force. She stared at the strands of hair between her fingers, terrified Little by little, he crawled up the back of his head: [This, is this nonsense? ]
It's so bullshit.

Li Xing has read a lot of time-traveling web articles, and she is also a person who likes to spend time on various software, and those cool articles that are imaginative and unconstrained will make her smile knowingly.But Li Xing never wanted this kind of thing to happen to her. It would be too cruel for an ordinary person with a fixed social circle to disappear out of thin air for those close to her.Nagging parents, raccoon cats, good colleagues, college classmates who meet occasionally, netizens who enthusiastically share interests-how will they face her disappearance?

Just thinking about it for a while, the memories suddenly began to fade, and the details continued to flow out like a shattered hourglass. The faces and names of people who should have been extremely familiar in Li Xing's memory gradually became blurred, leaving only the scene that made her heartache: the face of her parents. Weeping over the belongings she left behind, she brought home her raccoon cat who liked to gnaw on charging cables. Colleagues complained about her job left behind by her sudden disappearance. Friends sent text messages to her social accounts but got no response. When will she come back.

Li Xing was almost overwhelmed by those overly sad desperation that made her feel the same way.

Li Xing couldn't hold back her tears, staying alone in this completely unfamiliar environment, only more and more panic and loneliness overwhelmed her, she covered her mouth and sobbed softly.

Tears flowed down Li Xing's right fist and into her palm.

It seemed that something was wriggling inside, and Li Xing realized that she had clenched her fists tightly for some reason, as if she forgot to let go of her hands.

So Li Xing spread out his palm—it was a translucent little bug with circles and circles of circular lines all over its body. It looked like it had no head or tail at all, but this little bug was arching its body right now, He raised one end and swung it back and forth in Li Xing's hand.

Although the little bug didn't make any sound, Li Xing did "hear information" from it.

It is disgusting Li Xing's tears, and expresses dissatisfaction with suppressed anger towards her, which makes Li Xing feel inexplicably scolded.

Li Xing cried even more fiercely, holding the worm, big tears fell on it: [I don't know either!I don't even know why I'm here, and where is this! ?I really want to go home, I don't know why I am here, and I don't want to have such an accident! ]
This scene looked very silly from the side, but the worm seemed to feel Li Xing's emotions, it slowly lowered itself down, and then curled up into a small ball, as if it had made up its mind not to talk to Li Xing again, letting those tears Wash it all over your body.

After Li Xing broke out, her emotions gradually calmed down. After a few minutes, she finally stopped crying, but when she tried to put the bug on the ground, it got into the cuff of her cuff at a completely unreasonable speed. In the mezzanine.

"Hey!" Li Xing flustered and flicked his sleeves desperately, but the bug had no intention of coming out at all.

Li Xing hesitated, but decided to say: [Then don't move around. ]
Of course, she received no response.

After Li Xing stood up, he tried to move his limbs. Fortunately, the whole body was quite healthy, and he didn't find anything particularly uncomfortable.In fact, she really wanted to find a mirror at this time to see what her "new identity" looked like.

After groping all the pockets on her body, except for a white handkerchief, Li Xing only found a dark brown wallet, but she didn't recognize the denominations of the coins and banknotes inside, and the Arabic numerals she was familiar with were not used.There are a few extremely sharp blades hidden in the dark compartment of the wallet, and Li Xing almost cut his finger when he touched it.Other than that, there was nothing inside, no ID or driver's license, nothing with contact information or place names.

Li Xing was most confused by the fact that he didn't touch his cell phone. Would people who have money to wear a suit have no money to buy a cell phone?

Then she glanced at the candle on the ground, and felt a block in her heart: It's fine if this person doesn't have a mobile phone, but there's no circuit or network here at all, right?
He rolled up his cuffs and trouser legs twice, making sure that he would not trip over while walking normally, then Li Xing picked up the copper base of the candle, touched the edge of the wooden stairs and walked up.

Fortunately, the wooden board above the underground storage room was lifted, so Li Xing didn't need to move it by herself. She saw a lot of indistinguishable brown liquid stained on it.Meili walked to the front room, which was as messy as the back room. You could see the long bar with holes and some damaged tables and chairs. The floor was covered with thin dust, and the clearest footprints matched the shoes she was wearing. of.

Li Xing didn't see any electrical appliances, but another oil lamp was broken behind the bar.

Then she walked out of the house.

Facing the crimson crimson moon in the sky, Li Xing tightly covered her eyes, and the uncontrollable laughter emerged from the corner of her mouth intermittently, gradually becoming sad.

Despair is so clearly pressing on Li Xing's heart - this is definitely not the world in her memory.

Where can she go?

-

Li Xing sat on the empty crate at the door of the Vulture Bar until dawn, she looked up at the sky silently, from the setting of the red moon to the rising of the sun.

Li Xing, who was constantly thinking about what to do, was afraid of the future. Such fear kept her from going anywhere, and she only hoped that no one would disturb her.

Li Xing felt that an invisible barrier appeared around her, isolating her from the outside world, but she didn't think about it.

Until the other side of the street began to gain popularity, Li Xing watched all kinds of people passing by, the loud shouts and footsteps gradually diluting the chill in her body.But these people all have a very obvious thing in common - the traces of poverty are imprinted on their clothes, words and deeds and the darkness of their faces, and what is most lacking in such an environment is criminal behavior, which makes Li Xing curl up uneasily, Her gaze has been closely following the others, observing them.

Fortunately for Li Xing, she could understand the words of these people, and she tried to extract any information she could get from them, eager to understand the world.

Li Xing imitated a few passers-by, trying to whisper to himself such words as "good morning", "today's weather is fine", "praise the goddess", "the storm is above" and "stay away from me, you little thief", so that the To Li Xing's surprise, she found that she could speak this language, and she was proficient as if she had been speaking it for a long time.

But soon, Li Xing felt something twisted in her cuff, and she felt that the little bug understood what she said and was mocking herself.

This time, Li Xing whispered to it in the language of other people: "So do you know where this is? Or do you know me?"

This time the meaning conveyed by the little bug was more clear and specific. Li Xing felt that it despised her as an idiot. Although the wording was not so intense, she could fully feel the other party's contempt and disdain for her.

Why is a bug so arrogant!

Li Xing curled his lips and looked at the stalls set up on the nearby streets. Those shops were all open, and the smell of baked bread wafted over. Li Xing rubbed his stomach and unexpectedly found that he was not very hungry.Li Xing immediately decided to save the money, she didn't know how much the money could buy, so she had to save as much as possible.

As this small street became more and more lively, the place also began to become chaotic. Someone threw the smelly rotten fish in the ditch not far away, and gradually a pungent smell came over.Li Xing doesn't like this environment very much, but because she has nowhere to go, she can only sit on the crate and continue to feel all this.

Fortunately, no one noticed here, Li Xing said with emotion, as if they couldn't see me.

Wait, she won't turn into a ghost, will she?

Just as Li Xing was thinking wildly, the crowd suddenly became commotion, and a female voice shouted: "Catch that thief quickly! Just that child!"

Almost at the moment when the boy in the gray shirt with the beret approached, Li Xing thought about catching the thief, and his hand made a reaction far beyond her thinking, and pinned it precisely on the boy's forearm, quickly The running boy was almost pulled over by her.The boy's hat fell to the ground, and he looked at Li Xing in shock, as if he had just noticed that there was someone here.

Li Xing, on the other hand, was taken aback by his own reaction speed, and stared at the boy.The child's thin cheeks seemed to have never been full, not to mention the bruises on his forehead and chin, which made Li Xing subconsciously relax.The shouts from the crowd behind were approaching again, the boy slammed Li Xing away and ran forward again, the moment Li Xing retreated, but subconsciously grabbed the boy's arms, she let the boy run away into the crowd in the other direction.

"Catch the thief! There are thieves—huh..." The gray-haired middle-aged woman beat her waist with her hands. She managed to squeeze out of the crowd, but lost track of the boy.The woman was holding on to the crate and panting heavily, thinking that she had lost this week's wages and all the money for food at home, she was so wronged that she almost burst into tears.

At this moment, the rough red cloth bag of the spinner was handed to her, and the woman snatched it away and held it tightly in her heart, before she went to look at the girl opposite: "Thank you, thank you, thank you, very much grateful……"

Li Xing shook her head, but she didn't speak out of caution, she just smiled at the woman, and then she also squeezed into the crowd and walked towards the intersection at a leisurely pace.

The sense of invisibility that was ignored before disappeared, and was replaced by a faint sense of fatigue. Li Xing rubbed his eye sockets and between his eyebrows, and felt a small amount of hunger. In order to supplement the consumption just now, the body automatically presents a reminder.

Li Xing was replaying what she did just now. The invisibility effect, the quick reaction when grabbing the boy, and the quick capture of the boy all showed that she had some abilities beyond ordinary people.

But in Li Xing's memory, she was just an ordinary modern person.

While feeling strange, Li Xing felt a little more at ease about her situation. With such a "skill", how could she try to find some part-time jobs to make money?

Li Xing glanced at the fruit stand, and there were many things she had never seen before. The red fist-shaped fruit looked similar to apples, but what was the difference in taste?
When Li Xing thought this way, she subconsciously glanced at the owner of the fruit stand. The bearded owner was impatiently dismissing a couple who were trying to negotiate a price, and he was not paying attention here.

Then Li Xing's hand moved again before she was conscious, and after she reacted, there were already two red fruits between her bent arms and her body.The unpaid fruits were tightly blocked by Li Xing's oversized sleeves, so they could never be seen from the outside, and she herself didn't stop at all, and she had already walked several meters away with the flow of people.

Li Xing continued to walk in the crowd stiffly, full of panic about his instinctive theft just now: Is this body still a habitual offender! ?Why did I just start stealing something when I had an idea!
Return the fruit?That can't be explained clearly, Li Xing doesn't even recognize the coins here, she doesn't know how much she should pay at all.

Thoughts were running wild in his mind, but Li Xing didn't stop, and finally walked out of this messy street.Because she couldn't find any clean water source, she could only wipe the red fruit in her hand several times with the inside of her shirt before she dared to put it in her mouth.

Crisp and sweet flesh, although not as sweet and delicious as the apple in Li Xing's memory, but the taste is not very strange, at least not a taste beyond human cognition.

But what's next?

Li Xing stood at the intersection, looking at the words on the road sign at the intersection that she didn't understand, and fell into confusion again.

She needs literacy!Very necessary!
