Chapter 001 Night Running Boy
Zhu Chang'an ran all the way and lost one of his slippers. However, he had no time to pay attention to it at this moment - a deep gray mist was following behind him like a cat catching a mouse, occasionally swinging out its sharp claws to scratch his skin, and deliberately slowing down when it was about to catch up with him.
"Taishang Laojun, please hurry up and order the Jade Emperor, Bodhisattva, Namo Amitabha, to save me! Aaaaaaaah!!!!!!!" Under the dual stimulation of body and mind, Zhu Changan finally collapsed and shouted loudly. No matter who it is, human or ghost, please do anything to save him.
It's hard to describe Zhu Changan's feelings at the moment. He was originally a staunch materialist, and he had seen a normal world since he was a child. Until his birthday - that is, today, he magically awakened his supernatural powers. It would have been fine if he had just awakened, but in the middle of the night, he ran from home to a deep forest, and happened to run into this weird hunting scene.
God is going to kill me!
Zhu Changan stumbled, lost his balance and fell heavily to the ground. He didn't feel any pain, but there was a strong smell of rust in his nose. He stood up and saw warm liquid dripping from his sight.
Damn it...why can’t my body move? Move quickly!
The strangeness was getting closer and closer to him. Zhu Changan's body stiffened, and his mind involuntarily began to review this short first half of his life, and finally stopped at this moment. Zhu Changan felt only anger and unwillingness.
"I haven't achieved that goal yet... How can I die here in obscurity!!!" Zhu Chang'an's body was filled with golden light, which seemed to have turned on a switch, and everything seemed to slow down.
In a trance, Zhu Changan heard some breaking sounds.
"This is what you want." A slender hand appeared from behind and gently rested on his shoulder. Zhu Changan smelled a faint fragrance.
The man was wearing a retro black robe, with black hair hanging down to the ground. He raised his head, and with just one glance at the strange thing, he silently burned himself, without even having time to scream.
Zhu Changan, who survived the catastrophe, was still confused. He stared at the other party blankly, thinking in his mind: Did I really summon a big boss accidentally? It's over. Did I wake up the big boss when he was sleeping? Is the big boss angry after getting up? After he dealt with the weirdos, will he deal with me next...
The man looked at him, and a hint of smile seemed to flash across his indifferent eyes.
"It's late at night and the dew is heavy. It's not suitable to stay in the mountains for long. Let's go back."
"Wait..." Zhu Changan wanted to ask something, but a strong wind blew past, and when he opened his eyes again, he found that he had reached the foot of the mountain.
The boss is gone.
Suddenly, a big hand covered his head and rubbed it violently. Zhu Changan screamed reflexively on the spot.
"Ouch my ears! Why are you walking around in your shorts in the middle of the night instead of sleeping?" It was a familiar voice.
Zhu Changan turned around, with blood all over his face and tears in his eyes, he called out "Uncle Zhao" and fell to the ground. As for what kind of psychological shadow this extremely shocking scene left on the visitor, let's not talk about it for now.
On the other side, Mo Xuanji jumped out of the quilt, looked at the familiar environment, and breathed a sigh of relief.
"I woke up so fast. I dreamed that I turned into a big boss and saved the night runner. It turned out that the excitement in the past few days was too great...!!!!"
A very familiar face appeared before my eyes.
The dream was a third-person perspective. Mo Xuanji clearly remembered the appearance of the boss in the dream. He was exactly the same as the man in front of him, not even a hair was different. The young man was so frightened that he lost color on the spot.
Fortunately, after the shock, Mo Xuanji found that although the big man in front of him had his eyes open, there was no spirit in his eyes. He was more like a puppet without a soul than a living person. For such a long time, let alone moving, he had not even breathed.
It's even scarier when he's not even breathing!
"Good evening, little thing."
A voice that didn't belong to him suddenly appeared, and Mo Xuanji was frightened and his heart twitched again. After confirming that it was not the voice of the "doll", Mo Xuanji looked towards the window reflexively, picked up a bench and took a defensive posture, fearing that someone would come in like last time in the next second.
"Who are you? What are you doing in my house? If you have the guts to speak up, come out. You are no hero if you hide and seek."
"Puff - well, I'm not hiding, I'm in your sea of consciousness. You can understand me as... the Grandpa with the Golden Finger, but according to the way you young people like to say it, you can call me the system. My full name is the World-Saving System." The voice was very gentle, and Mo Xuanji's invincible sixth sense did not give him any warning at this time.
There is no threat and it is safe.
"The world-saving system?" Mo Xuanji tried to calm down: "Why did you choose me? I don't think I have any special talents."
"There is no reason to choose you. This is the mission you were born to shoulder. Come on, little thing."
"What happens if I don't agree?"
The system didn't say anything, and Mo Xuanji's consciousness was dragged into a place.
The sky here seemed to be shattered by something, and a scarlet space appeared from the cracks. The sun no longer existed, and a golden glowing body appeared in the sky in its place. For some reason, looking at it, Mo Xuanji suddenly felt an incomparable sadness in his heart.
The ground was barren and filled with black mist. There were corpses everywhere, familiar and unfamiliar, all lying here, not a single body was intact. A faint rustling sound came from behind, Mo Xuanji turned his head to look, but his consciousness suddenly returned to reality.
He sat paralyzed on the bed, gasping for breath. If he had some doubts before, now he completely believed in the system. The feeling of despair still lingered in his heart for a long time.
"That was..."
"The future. That's what the future will be like if you do nothing."
Mo Xuanji was silent for a long time, so long that the system thought he would remain in this state until dawn.
"I promise you. Since fate has found me, I will take on this responsibility. After all, my dream since I was a child is to be a hero who saves the world." Mo Xuanji raised his head, with a determined light flashing in his eyes.
"Very good, I was right."
"Then, what's going on?" Mo Xuanji looked at the unknown boss.
"I made this vest for you." Speaking of this, the system's voice was full of pride: "This is my most proud work. It depends on your own exploration of how to use it. Hmm? What's that look in your eyes? Of course I won't let a weak guy like you risk your own head. The system is not a black-hearted Zhou Ba Pi."
"Well, since we have to save the world, what should I do next?"
"The first step is to enter the world's top school for cultivating extraordinary power - Penglai Academy. Although this task is a bit difficult, but..."
"Penglai Academy? It turns out it's not a scam?" Mo Xuanji had a strange expression on his face. He pulled out an admission letter from under the table. On the cover were written the four big characters "Penglai Academy".
The system responded in a confused voice: "Ah? You've already received the notice? When did it happen?"
