Assassin's Journey

Chapter 2 A New Journey (Revised)

(Jong Chou sang a song, woo woo, finally waited for you, and told me not to cry~)

Morning, 56:52:[-].

Of course, the phone will not display the seconds, but when Su Yu looked at the phone, the score in the upper right corner of the screen just jumped a bit.

Then, Su Yu subconsciously started counting the time in his mind.

Memory can be extracted and sealed with the help of "it", but other things cannot be taken away by anyone.

That was the instinct engraved in Su Yu's bones after thousands of years of honing.

Sitting on the chair, as if meditating, Su Yu quietly waited for that moment to come.

When it returned successfully, "it" sent Su Yu another message.

Told him two things.

First, only one second has passed in reality.

Second, at ten o'clock sharp, "it" will fully wake up.

Time passed by every minute and every second, and Su Yu, who was sitting upright, was as stable as Mount Tai, and he was not in a hurry at all.

Even though he is actually only a 20-year-old youth now, and those memories have been extracted and sealed by "it", but the precipitation brought about by those thousands of years of experience cannot just disappear.

The timing instinct accurate to the second, the unparalleled reaction speed, the simple and effective habitual movements, the sharp eyes that see everything, the hunter's focused and patient waiting... These are all things that Su Yu cannot hide.

He was not the same, in that brief second, thousands of years later.

Sit still and wait.

"Ten o'clock." Su Yu read silently.

At the same time, the time in the upper right corner of the phone also came to "10:00".

"Are you awake?" Su Yu felt a trace of tension for a long time.

【Why don't you take a look】

Answer from "it".

"What do you think?" Of course Su Yu would not ignore the voice in his head.

【Close eyes】

Close your eyes.

When he opened his eyes again, everything in front of Su Yu changed.

The vast starry sky, the boundless universe.

In the center of all this is a small floating open space, above which there is a bronze door exuding a simple and heavy atmosphere.

However, what really stunned Su Yu was not the vastness and variety of stars in the sky, nor the strange bronze door in this magical open space, but the figure in front of him that was extremely small and ordinary in comparison.

An old man.

"Teacher?" Su Yu asked subconsciously.

If three of us are together, there must be my teacher, but the only teacher Su Yu recognizes is the one who helped him when he was about to go crazy and gave him the belief to persevere again.

The grace of saving lives and the way of dealing with the world are bestowed on me, and I should be a teacher.

If it weren't for his appearance, Su Yu might have gone crazy in the true sense.

But the old man is not Su Yu, he is just an ordinary lonely old man.

Mortals will die.

So, why is he here?
"Long time no see, Bayek, no, it should be Su Yu now." The old man smiled, but spoke pure Mandarin, "Do you still remember the last sentence I said to you?"

"We will meet again eventually." Su Yu froze for a moment, finally understood something, shook his head with a smile and said, "Why didn't I think of it?"

"At that time, you didn't have the mood to think about it. After that, you didn't have time to think about it. But now you finally have the time and mood." There was a table, two chairs, and two cups of hot tea.

"Thank you, teacher, if it weren't for you, I'm afraid..." Su Yu shook his head with a wry smile.

"My help is insignificant," the old man sat across the table from Su Yu, and pushed a cup of hot tea in front of Su Yu, "Taste it, this is your reward."

"Reward?" Su Yu picked up the tea, and the temperature transmitted by the thin cup wall made Su Yu decide how to drink it.

"Gollum."

Swallow in one bite.

Immediately afterwards, a hot current entered from the mouth, flowed into the stomach, and flooded the whole body, which was extremely comfortable.

Then, there is the extreme pain.

That is the pain that every cell is trembling with.

Even Su Yu, who had experienced countless battles and suffered countless injuries, couldn't bear this pain. His eyes darkened and he passed out.

……

I don't know how long it took before Su Yu slowly woke up and turned around.

The pain has long since disappeared, replaced by a familiar feeling.

This familiarity comes from the most reliable thing that has never left Su Yu for thousands of years, the root of his survival.

After returning to reality, this familiarity will inevitably disappear, but now, Su Yu clearly feels its return.

body.

Strong, fit, tall, yet flexible and familiar body.

Opening his eyes and getting up, Su Yu felt his body happily. It was no longer weak due to long-term lack of exercise and nutritional imbalance, but healthy and strong now.

"You are still so anxious. You have to drink this tea ten times before your body can accept it. Although the effect is the same after drinking it once, it will be very painful!" The old man on the side took another sip of tea with a smile, "You can't wait Am I finished?"

"You did it on purpose. When did you not deliberately cheat me with half of your words?" Su Yu rolled his eyes.

The atmosphere became more relaxed.

In the past, their way of getting along was like this, as relaxed and happy as year-end friends, with funny comparisons from time to time, that was one of Su Yu's rare happy moments in thousands of years.

It's just that now, it's been too long since we've been apart, so long that the two of them almost forgot how to get along.

"What is this tea? It's so powerful? It's much better than apples!" Su Yu didn't care and was tricked by the old man again, and sat down on the chair again with a smile, and the one he was playing with was already empty teacup.

It was almost time to say "one more drink".

"That's your reward for completing the main mission of the Assassin's Creed world. I also added some extremely precious things to it as compensation for you." The old man drank his tea in one gulp, "Every one that strengthens your physical fitness On the one hand, it can be said to be the best thing to lay the foundation for.”

"Compensation?" Su Yu grasped these two words keenly.

"Ahem, originally, these things shouldn't have happened to you," the old man coughed twice, blushing a little rarely, "All of this is because of my selfishness..."

Time passed quickly, and finally, after an unknown amount of time, the old man finally finished talking about the matter.

The Bronze Gate is an artifact born at the beginning of the universe. It can communicate with the heavens and worlds, pass through them, and enter different times and places.

After Creation Power discovered this treasure, it was built into something like a "system".

A strong man is lonely, and Da Neng hopes that one day, through this "system", a strong man will appear in this world, a strong man who is qualified to fight with him.

Therefore, the Bronze Gate has become a "system" aimed at cultivating a super strong man.

However, reality is not fiction, and not everyone has the ability and luck to become a peerless powerhouse.

Not to mention, in the shuttle of each world, there are various dangers.

So far, no one has succeeded.

The Bronze Gate will only give the bound host the opportunity to travel through various worlds to develop and become stronger, but it will not help the host grow.

Only when traveling through the world for the first time, the host will be protected, and after that, the host will be allowed to develop.

If the host dies, replace it, if the host does not die, continue.

However, Almighty still gave all hosts two chances, two chances to choose from.

The first time is the choice after being selected, and within a month, the choice is whether to bind with the bronze door.

If you don't bind, you can continue your previous life, erase the memory of this period, bind, and start the journey of the heavens and worlds.

The second time is the choice after binding.

There are always some people who will make a choice with passion, but after calming down and truly experiencing the cruelty, they regret it.

This second choice is the last chance for those people.

By choosing a successor, the host can break away from the system.

And all the things he obtained through the bronze gate will be stripped and sent back to his original life.

Regardless of whether the successor agrees or not, the second and last chance of the original host has already been counted as being used.

If the successor agrees, the original host can leave the system and return to the original life. At the original time, all memories about this time will also be erased.

If you don't agree, then the memory of the heir during this period will be erased, and nothing has happened. The host can only continue to travel through the world until he reaches the final goal and becomes an absolute powerhouse.

or die.

The old man is the current host of the Bronze Gate.

And Su Yu is his chosen successor.

"But... I don't seem to have made a choice?" After receiving the information, Su Yu realized the most critical point.

"No, actually, you have already made your choice," the old man smiled wryly and shook his head, "Because this is my last chance, so... I used some tricks..."

"...What means?" Su Yu asked after a pause.

Although he already had an answer in his heart, he had to die to understand it.

"I took advantage of the loophole in the bronze door," the old man raised his hand and turned into a computer, "Although you have the opportunity to choose, the bronze door doesn't stipulate the form of this choice, it just restricts me from using my strength. To oppress or tempt you to make choices, everything has to be done under your own consciousness."

"So, you disguised this opportunity to choose as a warning box that must pop up when I open the most frequently used computer webpage, and obviously I will click the "Yes" button without looking carefully..." Su Yu looked at that Looking at those familiar pictures on the computer screen, he couldn't help curling his lips.

"It's really cunning..."

"Sorry..." The old man hesitated to speak.

"It's okay, it's happened, and it's meaningless to talk about it." Su Yu shook his head, and didn't get too entangled in this point, "And then?"

For now, it doesn't make any sense to entangle these. Under the circumstances that the established facts cannot be changed, as an assassin who has gone through thousands of years, what Su Yu chooses at this moment is to ignore the cause of this incident and focus on what will happen later ,prepare in advance.

He didn't believe that things would end here.

"When the successor chooses to agree, his first time travel will be carried out." The old man explained in detail, "That is your trip to the world of Assassin's Creed this time."

"Is every host this world?" Su Yu frowned.

"No, the world is randomly selected," the old man replied, "At this time, you are the preparatory host, and I will help you complete the mission of the first world as an assistant and mentor."

"It's just... I really didn't expect that the main task you drew would be so... weird." After a pause, the old man continued speechlessly, "You know, before I chose you as my successor, I was an adult. I have shuttled through thousands of worlds, big and small, and I have never seen a main mission that can only be passed through time..."

"...Then I'm really lucky." Su Yu was also drunk when he heard what the old man said.

The strange task that others have traveled through the world thousands of times has never encountered, but I encountered it the first time I traveled... I really don't know if this luck should be said to be good or bad.

"But..." After a pause, Su Yu remembered something again, and asked, "You said, you came to help me through the first world as a counselor?"

"correct."

"Then why did I only see you once?" Su Yu's eyes widened.

The four big characters "negligence of duty" were written all over his face.

"The system stipulates that counselors cannot reveal their existence, in case you will... act recklessly," the old man shook his head, and at the same time said in a meaningful tone, "And with my ability, you think... I will always Appear by your side with a face?"

"You just need to know that I've actually been by your side all these years." The old man waved his hand and added, "It's just a different identity."

"I see." Su Yu nodded clearly.

Then, he thought of something.

As if a bolt of lightning had struck, Su Yu's body froze suddenly.

"... What's wrong with you?" The old man asked suspiciously, he was keenly aware of the changes in Su Yu's physical condition.

"You...you..." Su Yu swallowed hard, full of thoughts that he must hear a negative answer, and asked hopefully, "You will definitely not use the identity of a female character?"

Old man: "???"

Even a man as powerful as the old man was a little dazed by Su Yu's question.

What the hell?
The powerful thinking ability made the old man react in the next second.

"Fuck you!" The old man kicked Su Yu violently, "Can you stop being so dirty? I'm going to be disgusted by you!"

Of course, the old man controlled his strength very well, and did not cause any actual harm to Su Yu's body.

"Hey, I also feel disgusting, okay?" Su Yu turned over and got up, "When I think of an old man who can transform, he has been lurking by my side for thousands of years, and then he can still change into different identities, whether it is Everyone will subconsciously think of that aspect!"

"I'll beat you to death, you son of a bitch!" The old man kicked Su Yu over again.

……

After a while, the two stopped.

"Okay, don't interrupt, I have to continue explaining these things to you," the old man straightened his face and continued, "Every time you travel through the world, you can only go to the next world after completing the main task given by the bronze gate... "

"Wait," Su Yu raised his hand to indicate that he had something to ask, "Are you going directly to the next world? I mean... not returning to my original world?"

"No," the old man shook his head, "it's not going directly to the next world, but to get the qualification to go to the next world. You can decide when to start at any time. Of course, there is a time limit. At most, you can only go to the world where you have completed the task. If you stay for a month, you must go to the next world."

"And if you fail to complete the main task..." Su Yu curled his lips, "Can we just stay there until we die?"

"No, no," the old man shook his head again, "The Bronze Gate will release more difficult mainline tasks, and the world you are in will undergo some changes..."

After a pause, the old man's face showed a rare seriousness: "Believe me, you don't want to see that kind of change."

"If... If, due to some unexpected circumstances, I accidentally fail to complete the main task, what should I pay attention to?" Su Yu asked with a serious look.

No one can tell what will happen next.

What if this happened?
Therefore, Su Yu intends to find out first.

"If that happens," the old man said slowly and word for word, "first, stay alive, and make survival the first goal; second, the story in this world is completely Before the end, we must complete the main task, no matter how difficult it is."

"why?"

"The story is over, the world... is there still a need to exist? At that time, the world will collapse, unless you have the strength to survive in a broken environment, otherwise, you will definitely die!"

"Of course, this kind of situation rarely happens, especially in the later stage. The world you travel through is basically infinitely developing, and it is impossible to have no follow-up." The old man waved his hand, "As for the question of whether you can return to the original place you are In this world... there are two situations in which it can be done.”

"The first way is to find a successor like me, and you can be sent back to your original world."

After a pause, the old man continued: "The second type is to become the goal set when this system was created."

"Okay... Then, when I travel through the world," Su Yu nodded, and then asked another question, "Will I still exist in my original world?"

"No, you will be erased from the root of your existence, and no one... will remember you, including your parents and relatives."

The atmosphere became a little heavy.

"So, it's as if I never existed?" Su Yu confirmed again.

"Yes, all memories about you will disappear completely, unless you return to the original world through those two methods, this shield will be lifted."

"Why do I feel like I'm on a thief ship?" Su Yu helplessly complained.

"It is indeed a thief ship, but it is also a thief ship that can lead to the heavens and worlds." The old man smiled and waved his hand, "Let's stop here, after seven days, I will return to my In the time of your body, after one month, you will start your first formal time-traveling."

"As for the other more important things, I've written them all down here," the old man said, and with a wave of his hand, he pulled a black notebook out of the space and handed it to Su Yu.

"What is this?" Su Yu blinked, turned the notebook over and over, and found nothing strange.

"It's just an ordinary notebook, don't think too much," the old man knew what he was thinking when he saw Su Yu's actions, "All things will be recycled by the system. I thought about it and found a loophole, which is that I can use it for you. leave information."

"Ordinary notebooks won't be taken away?" Su Yu was a little puzzled, didn't it mean that all items obtained through the bronze gate would be taken away?

"This notebook is yours!" The old man rolled his eyes, "I just took it from your bookshelf, and wrote down all the things I can think of that are useful to you, and read it slowly after I go out. just ask me."

"Okay." Su Yu raised his eyebrows and agreed.
