Why, why is this happening?

Until the next morning, Fang Zheng still looked like he wanted to cry but couldn't. He looked at the awakening task in front of him and felt sick.

I came to the new world and drew a fantasy-level soul stone for the first time. The two happy things overlapped and brought me more happiness. What I got should have been a dreamlike happy time, but why, why did it turn out like this?

"Ah... there's nothing I can do. This is the only way."

Fang Zheng sighed deeply and put this depressing matter behind him. To him, this was not a difficult matter. As a prophecy mage, Fang Zheng could get some enlightenment and clues through prophecy, so he did not have to worry about running around the world like a headless fly and finding nothing.

Now, let’s talk about this…

It's time to go to work.

After taking a look at his phone, Fang Zheng turned around and walked out of the room, heading towards his "workplace".

Yuqi High School.

This was a very ordinary high school, or rather, it was similar to all the schools that appeared in games and animations. Students in uniforms and sailor suits, a spacious and tidy campus. To be honest, just walking around the campus and seeing those energetic students laughing and talking, Fang Zheng couldn't help but recall his own school days.

Although it’s not that good, it’s not that bad either. Youth...sometimes is like a bird, gone forever.

But now, being able to feel the campus atmosphere again is a good benefit.

When I was in school, I always wanted to graduate early and go to work. At that time, I just wanted to not have to go to class, not have to do homework, make a lot of money, have free time, and buy whatever I want.

But when you really start working, you will find that repetitive labor makes you exhausted. You have to work overtime until late at night every day. You can't spend money carelessly. You also have to consider car loans and mortgages. There are also far more complicated interpersonal relationships and interpersonal relationships than on campus. The communication between each other is no longer as simple as it was in school days, but always has a bit of utilitarian color.

Only when you are overwhelmed by the heavy pressure of real life, you will miss the simple campus life. What a wonderful time it was.

Unfortunately, time will not flow, no matter how much you envy it, you can only continue to live as a member of society. And the carefree school days in the past can never be found again, and only exist as a phantom in memory.

Fang Zheng was in charge of teaching mathematics, and he was also the instructor of Grade 1, Class 2. Teaching was not difficult for Fang Zheng, after all, he had a lesson plan, and he was used to teaching in the world of Higurashi. Even if he was not used to it, it was okay, because Fang Zheng's identity was set as a new teacher, and even if he was a little unskilled, no one would find fault with him.

More importantly, Fang Zheng is handsome.

In a world where looks matter, appearance itself is an advantageous resource, isn’t it?

"Well, that's all for today. Be careful on the road and make sure you get home early."

Having said that, Fang Zheng looked at the students in the class who were already eager to leave, shrugged his shoulders and gave their favorite answer.

“YEAH——!”

Sure enough, after listening to Fang Zheng's words, the students excitedly jumped up from their chairs with their hands raised high, then quickly packed their schoolbags and ran out the door.

"...As expected, students are all the same in any world."

Looking at this scene, Fang Zheng smiled and seemed quite calm. He originally thought that the school here was different from his own, but after taking over, he found that it was not much different. As a class tutor, Fang Zheng had to come to the classroom to check on the morning self-study, and then come back to convey the school's precautions before school was over in the afternoon. The result was that it felt... not much different from when he was in school, if there was any difference...

"Goodbye, teacher."

"goodbye."

"Be careful on your journey."

Seeing the girls in sailor uniforms in front of him smiling and saying goodbye to him, Fang Zheng nodded, and then casually glanced at their miniskirts...

Well, compared to the sportswear over there, the uniforms here are obviously more pleasing to the eye.

Although it felt good to be back in school, Fang Zheng did not find the "protagonist" he was looking for in this school. He used his teacher's authority to look through the entire school's student list, but he did not find a single familiar name. Moreover, Fang Zheng did not find any familiar "roles" in the class he was in charge of.

There are two possibilities. One is that one's "identity" is too far away from the protagonist. The other is that the "protagonist" is actually right in front of him, but he cannot recognize him because he has not seen this work.

But...it doesn't matter what, I don't really care that much anyway.

When Fang Zheng left the school, it was almost dusk.

The bright red sunset shone on the streets, and people and vehicles could be seen everywhere. Fang Zheng was walking on the streets bored, and this was the scenery he saw.

"Let's find a place to have dinner first. I don't know how the ramen here tastes. I actually prefer beef noodles. Unfortunately, there is no beef noodles in the main world... Hmm?"

Fang Zheng muttered to himself while looking around, but soon, he was stunned for a moment, then stopped and turned to look at the shopping street not far away. Just now, his gift of prophecy once again gave Fang Zheng a hint of enlightenment - if he went in that direction, Fang Zheng would get what he wanted.

"Over there?"

Looking at the street that seemed to have not changed at all, Fang Zheng hesitated for a moment, then turned and walked towards the direction of the shopping street.

But the moment he stepped into the shopping street, something strange happened.

“Swish!!”

In Fang Zheng's eyes, a silver-white, magic-like thing suddenly appeared out of thin air, and then it quickly expanded and spread in all directions. But the people walking around seemed to be completely unaware of this, and continued to move forward on their own. And then the next moment, suddenly, the world in front of Fang Zheng changed.

The sky turned a dark red, the sun had disappeared, and everywhere was bright red. In the area covered by this red, all the people stopped moving. They just stood there blankly, as if they had turned into stone statues and were motionless. Even their bodies seemed to be covered with a layer of dust, no longer so bright.

"What's this?"

Faced with this sudden change, Fang Zheng immediately became alert. Judging from the surroundings, this seemed to be a barrier that stopped time. But Fang Zheng didn't feel anything. But this didn't mean he could relax his vigilance, because the abnormal situation in front of him clearly meant... something went wrong! !

"boom!!"

At this moment, a store suddenly exploded not far in front of Fang Zheng, and debris flew everywhere. Then Fang Zheng saw a man with flames all over his body flying out of the explosion and falling heavily not far in front of him.

“Aaaaaaah!!”

The moment he landed on the ground, the man began to scream. The regular blue-white flames instantly engulfed his body. Then Fang Zheng saw the man's body suddenly swell up like a ball, and then with a "bang", it exploded like fireworks, and then he disappeared without a trace.

But Fang Zheng was not only concerned about these, because at the same time as the figure exploded, he keenly discovered that a small, silver-white light point quietly emerged in the person's body. When he saw the light point, a "omen" suddenly emerged in Fang Zheng's mind!

That’s it. That’s one of the key points to unlock your soul stone!

Mage's Hand!

Fang Zheng stretched out his hand without hesitation, and the magic power in his hand trembled, turning into a transparent palm that grabbed the light point floating in the air, and then quickly sent it to Fang Zheng's eyes. After seeing the light ball clearly, Fang Zheng was stunned.

"What's this?"

In front of Fang Zheng, there was a strange machine made of several gears. In the center of the machine was a small white ball of light, and outside the ball of light were rotating gears, bearings and other parts. Fang Zheng was sure that he had never seen anything like this before, but... no matter what it was, it must be his mission prop!

Thinking of this, Fang Zheng hurriedly opened the Dimension Codex, and then saw a series of light bands emerging from it, wrapping the strange thing around it like a chain, and at this moment...

“Ahhh!!”

With a scream, the next moment Fang Zheng saw the shadow of a blond man suddenly fly out of this strange thing. He fell to the ground screaming, and the whole person looked as if he had been kicked hard by someone.

“This, this is…”

The blond man turned his head in surprise and looked at Fang Zheng, then glanced at the strange prop that had been bound by the dimensional code. Then his face changed slightly and he wanted to say something, but in the end the blond man said nothing. He just turned into a meteor and disappeared into the air in an instant.

“…??? What the hell?”

Seeing the blond man suddenly disappear, Fang Zheng was also stunned. He had no idea what was going on. At least for now, he had no idea what was happening. But... who cares? At least he got his key item!

“Bang!”

As the strange item was taken back, Fang Zheng closed the Dimension Code once again. At the same time, the system prompt appeared in front of him again.

[Get awakening key item x1, progress 1/3]

This is really simple.

Looking at the system prompt in front of him, Fang Zheng couldn't help but sigh. He was worried before whether he would have to search all over the street to find it, but now it seems so easy, he can find it by just taking a casual walk. So what's next...

"Bang!!"

However, before Fang Zheng could finish his thoughts, a huge white monster fell from the sky and landed not far in front of him. It looked like a giant toy baby with an ugly face. The giant baby monster looked around and then showed a confused expression.

"How strange! Where did that Mistis go? I was planning to eat him!"

"Don't worry about that Mistis anymore, he's gone!"

At this moment, suddenly, not far behind the giant baby, a spherical object that looked like countless model dummies merged together suddenly appeared. It turned its eyes and stared at Fang Zheng intently.

"I can feel that there is a scent of treasure on this man. He must have taken the treasure from Mistis!"

"Why?"

Hearing the words of the spherical object, the giant baby turned around and looked at Fang Zheng curiously.

"It's a human. How strange! Why can humans move around in the sealed area?"

"Don't worry about such a small matter, kill him and take back the treasure!"

"Why……"

Looking at the two monsters in front of him who were on the verge of a fight with swords drawn, Fang Zheng sighed helplessly, and then took out the Broken Sky Sword from the void.

Sure enough, I knew it wouldn’t be that easy.
