Chapter 1: Traveling Through Time
Hongxing Building.
On the fourth floor, a faint sound of dripping water was heard from deep inside the bathroom, which attracted people to go and investigate. However, the only person present was so focused on the mirror in front of him that he had no time to pay attention to anything else.
The mirror reflected a beautiful face with delicate features. Apart from the extremely pale skin, there was no blemish at all. However, the dark lips added a touch of morbid beauty.
He didn't know if it was Ying Yuanxing's illusion, but he always felt that the person in the mirror seemed to be smiling at him, and that smile was quite seductive.
No, can he still laugh at this time?
The thought flashed through his mind, and Ying Yuanxing didn't think much about it. He looked at himself in the mirror and let out a long sigh. He was now sure that he had really traveled through time.
As for why he traveled through time, thinking of the severe pain in his chest before he lost consciousness, Ying Yuanxing felt that he had found the reason: sudden death from staying up late and working overtime.
It would have been fine if he didn't recall. As soon as he recalled, Ying Yuanxing felt a dull pain in his heart, and even his brain began to hurt, as fragments of memories were forced into his brain.
After receiving the memories in his body, Ying Yuanxing fell silent.
It is really hard to describe his time travel. He just went from being a social animal who died suddenly from overwork to being a social animal who is trembling with fear and on the verge of collapse in a high-pressure company.
No, maybe it’s not on the verge of collapse, but it has already collapsed.
The pain in his chest just now was not his illusion, but the pain left in his body, even...
Ying Yuanxing looked down at his fingers. There were still bruises on his nails caused by lack of oxygen. Although they were gradually fading, they were enough to prove how critical the situation was before.
Realizing that something was not right with his body, Ying Yuanxing prepared to go to the hospital. After all, although he had traveled through time, the change in his soul could not cure his physical illness. If something happened again, Ying Yuanxing didn't think his luck would be good enough to travel through time again.
Ying Yuanxing turned and left, just stepping over the stream that had flowed to his feet at some point in time.
The young man in the mirror looked at Ying Yuanxing's receding figure, and the smile on his face finally couldn't be maintained, revealing a cold underlying tone.
…………
【Xia Guo Live Room】
On the screen, Ying Yuanxing's figure gradually walked away, until it was about to disappear in front of the camera, and the invisible camera followed him.
[The anchor was quite courageous. He didn't make any unnecessary movements and managed to escape before the weirdo made his move. However, I advise others not to follow his example. If they were a little slower, the toilet weirdo would have made his move.]
[Wow, wow, wow, I was so scared. I almost thought this contestant was going to die in an instant. Luckily he escaped in the end.]
[I feel like the contestants were lucky this time, as they managed to escape unscathed despite facing two strange monsters.]
[Isn't it just the mirror ghost? Is there anything else strange? ]
[Didn’t you study hard in class? You didn’t notice the sound of water drops. Your vigilance is too low. It’s easy to be selected into a weird game.]
…
The barrage of comments was refreshing rapidly.
It is now the fourth year of the new calendar, or the fourth year of the end of the world.
Four years ago, a monster mysteriously appeared on Blue Star.
It is unknown when the first weirdness appeared on the blue planet. By the time humans realized the existence of weird monsters, there were already quite a few of them.
It’s not that the government hasn’t thought of ways to eliminate the weirdness, but guns and weapons can only kill some monsters and are ineffective against more weirdness.
Especially when the strange domain appeared and invaded and transformed the land of Blue Star, humans became more aware that this was a war concerning the survival of the race. If they could not win this war, then Blue Star would become a strange paradise.
Humanity is losing ground, and at this critical moment, a game claiming to be a savior appears. It randomly selects humans to enter a strange game live broadcast, allowing people in reality to learn all kinds of information about monsters and find ways to escape when they encounter something strange.
Therefore, the live broadcast room has become a must-see for all humans on Blue Planet. After all, it doesn't matter if you don't watch other live broadcasts, but the weird game live broadcasts cannot be replayed. Even if the government will organize the information and publish it afterwards, it is not as intuitive as watching the live broadcast. If you miss any information or encounter something weird, you may die.
However, it has been almost three years since the live broadcast room appeared. Ordinary people have a general understanding of some common weirdness. As for some more dangerous weirdness, firstly, they rarely appear, and secondly, even if you know the weird information, it is difficult to escape, so the popularity of the live broadcast room has also decreased somewhat.
Most people will choose to watch the live broadcasts of the old players who are still alive. As for the new players who are drawn by the salvation game every month, their popularity will only be high when they just start broadcasting. After the novelty period is over, not many viewers will stay. After all, the audience has seen too many similar contents to what they broadcast live.
What's more, the survival rate of new players is also low. If they develop feelings for each other after watching for a long time, the death of the other party will affect their mental state. According to research, when people are in a low mood, they are easily attracted to weird things. The specific reason is unknown.
Even if not for yourself, but for the people around you, you should not let yourself get too depressed.
…
Ying Yuanxing didn't know that there was a group of people watching him, nor did he know that he had entered a so-called weird game.
Coming out of the bathroom, through the transparent glass, Ying Yuanxing saw his colleagues sitting at their workstations, all buried in their work, so busy that they seemed to have three heads and six arms to handle their work. Not far away, a colleague had a distorted expression and was spraying venom at several interns. The interns were trembling with fear, and one could tell how bad the other person's scolding was.
After briefly searching through his memory, Ying Yuanxing felt like resigning.
The company I worked for was too high-pressure and hierarchical. Even though my colleagues behaved like this in front of the interns, their attitude was even more humble than that of the interns when facing the manager.
Moreover, scolding is considered light. According to the company's rules and regulations, regular employees can do whatever they want to interns as long as no one is killed. The same goes for managers. They can do whatever they want to employees, even if someone is killed, it seems that they can get away with it.
Looking at the events in his memory, Ying Yuanxing froze completely.
Ying Yuanxing had only taken a cursory look at his original body's memories and had not yet discovered that there was anything wrong with this world. But when he took another look, he discovered a big problem.
Although the company has a strict hierarchy, there are still some rules and regulations. However, outside, it is common to be beaten or killed for no reason. As for the government, I'm sorry, the government can only maintain social order. Small matters such as being beaten or killed can only be solved by ourselves.
As for the hospital that Ying Yuanxing originally wanted to go to, not only was the fee expensive, but the charges were also not transparent. It would be fine if there was medical insurance, but he had just been promoted from an intern, and the company would only buy medical insurance after working for a year. Without medical insurance, going to the hospital would be like being a lamb to be slaughtered, and the hospital could do whatever it wanted with him.
Even if I really have no money, I still have some spare parts that can be used to repay the hospital's debt.
What kind of world is this where everyone is outlaws!
Ying Yuanxing suddenly felt that it was not easy for his original body to grow to this size, but now it was him who was having a hard time.
Ying Yuanxing felt suffocated when he thought about how he would have to live in this world forever.
Glancing at his colleagues who were working diligently and not daring to be distracted, Ying Yuanxing let out a long sigh and prepared to start working. With his previous memories, it shouldn't be difficult to fool around for a while.
After a while, maybe he will adapt to this world.
After all, even if this world is a little scary, the original body was still able to grow up safely, which means that survival is probably not that difficult... right?
…
Compared with the exciting scenes in other live broadcast rooms, the live broadcast content of Ying Yuanxing is not good enough, especially when Ying Yuanxing starts working, the live broadcast room looks like it is still. Even though Ying Yuanxing is handsome, the single picture still cannot attract the audience's attention.
Especially the harsh curses and sobbing sounds that were heard from time to time made the audience feel upset and aggravated the loss of audience, and only a small number of viewers remained in the live broadcast room.
However, Ying Yuanxing did not take any action, and after watching for a while, the audience shifted their attention to other places, such as the office furnishings and conversations with other colleagues.
The name of Ying Yuanxing's company was noticed by the audience.
[Is the man with glasses talking about Hongxing Company? Is it the Hongxing I guessed? ] Someone asked in surprise.
[What is Hongxing Company?] Some people did not know much about the situation and asked in confusion.
Soon someone explained that Hongxing Company is an A-level strange domain in the strange game. Unlike other strange domains, Hongxing Company can be split. The small strange domains that are split out will appear in different areas, and each small strange domain can connect with the main domain.
The main business of Hongxing Company is to collect strange objects from various regions and sell them. Some of these strange objects are also helpful to players who enter the strange game, either to enhance their physical fitness or as weapons to harm strange objects.
It’s just that Hongxing Company’s weird goods are in short supply. Sometimes even the weird ones are hard to get, let alone humans who want to hide their identities.
Not only the players want these strange objects, but governments of various countries also want them. After all, strange objects are difficult to study. However, some players have sent strange objects out, and strange objects are tangible, which makes them easier to study. Some players have even found something. However, strange objects are too rare, and the players who enter the strange game do not have enough for themselves, so few are willing to send their objects out.
In order to obtain strange objects, some contestants even took the risk of joining Hongxing Company. After all, it should be easier to obtain strange objects after becoming an employee. Unfortunately, most of the contestants couldn't even pass the interview. Even if they passed the interview by chance, they were eliminated at the intern stage.
The result of failing the internship is loss of life. As more people lose their lives, other contestants dare not act rashly. After all, it is more dangerous without strange creatures, but Hongxing Company is even more dangerous.
But now, there are players who are employees of Hongxing Company, or even formal employees, as soon as they enter the strange game.
Realizing this, the entire live broadcast room was in an uproar.
