Chapter 002: Zhumen's World
Perhaps every child has imagined that one day in his life, an owl would deliver a letter of acceptance to Hogwarts. Unfortunately, Mo Xuanji had never seen an owl delivering letters in his eighteen years of life. Instead, three days ago, a strange guy broke in through the window.
"Hello, I'm the admissions teacher at Penglai Academy. My last name is Wang, and I'm honored to meet you at this sacred moment." The man was dressed like an English noble. When he landed, he accidentally stepped on his cloak and stumbled a few steps. Then he stood up slowly and did a pompous hat-taking ceremony.
Mo Xuanji: Dial 110 with a blank expression
I don't know what happened, but my phone suddenly lost signal. Mo Xuanji chose to pick up the bench beside him.
"Don't be nervous, I'm a good person! Kid, don't be anxious, listen to me. This world is not as simple as you think. You have awakened your superpowers, right?"
Mo Xuanji's pupils shrank slightly. He had never told anyone about his awakening, nor had he used his supernatural powers. How did he know? Or was he a lunatic immersed in a fantasy world, and it was just a blind cat catching a dead rat?
Teacher Wang, who didn't realize that he had become mentally ill, continued to advise:
"That's a good thing. This world is not as dark as it is portrayed in novels and TV dramas. They won't slice you up. Penglai Academy was established by the government to train outstanding psychics. You can get the best teacher education here.
After our investigation, your college entrance examination score is very high, and your ability energy value is at level A when you just awaken, which perfectly meets the admission standards of our school."
"Oh, let me introduce you. The levels of supernatural powers from high to low are SSS, SS, S, A, B, C, D. You were A when you first awakened. As long as you cultivate well, you can say that you have a bright future!"
As he spoke, he pulled out a letter of admission from his hat and handed it to Mo Xuanji, his face full of sincerity: "I hope you can consider coming to our school. You are the most suitable here. Going to other schools will only waste your talent."
It's quite exquisite, and it must have cost a lot of money to make.
Mo Xuanji recalled the rumors about fake universities that he had heard recently. They were universities in name only, but they were not actually recognized by society. If you were unlucky enough to be tricked into going in, you would waste your tuition and four years of youth, but after you graduated, you would still only have a high school diploma. The one in front of him had even gone to their home to recruit students, so it must not be a serious school.
"Really? Is this school an undergraduate or a junior college? Can I take the civil service exam or the postgraduate entrance exam?" No matter if he is a psychopath or a liar, I will just trick him out first.
"Of course our school is an undergraduate school, officially recognized as a top-notch undergraduate school! Taking the civil service exam or the postgraduate entrance exam? Forget about taking the exam. As long as you are willing to enroll, you can directly enter the government unit and get a stable job after graduation."
It sounds so true, but even more fake.
"Okay, I'll leave the notice. I'll think about it. I also need to discuss this with my family." He pointed to the window, and it was obvious that he wanted to chase the guest away.
"Then add my contact information. If you decide to come to our school in the future, be sure to contact me." Teacher Wang rubbed his hands.
"Okay, bye, Teacher Wang." After adding him, he was added to the blacklist.
Teacher Wang smiled brilliantly, like a salesman who had just closed a deal. He walked to the window, put on his hat, said "Remember to contact me," and left through the window.
Mo Xuanji called 110 and moved overnight.
......
The system... the system has nothing to say.
Mo Xuanji coughed awkwardly and said, "Who would climb through someone's window in the middle of the night to deliver a notice? You should at least send an owl, right?"
So you still want an owl to deliver it?
"Okay, let's contact him now without delay." Mo Xuanji picked up the phone and unlocked it. A comic page suddenly popped up, occupying the screen.
?
【The comic "Mo Wen Tian Ji" has been updated! Please click to view! 】Close.
[Please become a popular character in this comic!] A pop-up window popped up and could not be closed.
[Please become a popular character in this comic *Λ_Λ*] An additional emoticon pack appeared after refreshing after disconnecting from the internet.
[Please become a popular character in this comic *Λ_Λ* dear~] After shutting down and restarting the computer, a cute word appeared!
"ah?"
"Let's read some comics first." After a moment's silence, the system suggested.
"Okay. I have a weird feeling." Mo Xuanji said as he opened the comic.
Unexpectedly, the protagonist of the comic is none other than the unlucky night runner.
The comic begins on Zhu Changan's birthday. On that day, Zhu Changan awakened his earth-related supernatural power, but it was completely out of control. Sometimes he didn't respond no matter how he called him, and sometimes he appeared on his own without any thought. The whole room was destroyed by the disobedient supernatural power.
In a panic, he called an elder he trusted the most for help. Soon, a white-haired old man came to his house. The old man first calmed him down, and then told him the true appearance of this world.
"There are extraordinary powers in this world." The old man leaned down and looked him straight in the eye: "Some humans will awaken their own special powers on their eighteenth birthday. In old terms, it is the awakening of spiritual roots. In addition to humans, there are demons and monsters in this world. The former are allies of humans, and the latter are enemies that we need to face together."
Zhu Changan stood up excitedly: "Then my father and mother! My father and mother, they must not have died because of the gas explosion, right?"
Zhu Changan had no memory of what happened that day. The first thing he heard after waking up from his coma was the sad news of his parents’ death. After checking, the police said it was a gas explosion, but Zhu Changan knew that it was not as simple as a gas explosion. There must be other reasons.
The old man sighed, his eyes showing sadness: "Yes, it was not because of the gas explosion. They died at the hands of a weird person."
"To protect you."
To protect you.
This sentence echoed in Zhu Changan's mind like a curse, and he didn't even know when the old man passed away. He wondered if his parents could survive without him.
Did I kill my parents?
Mo Xuanji looked away.
"So this kid has experienced this before. I shouldn't have laughed at him for running around in the middle of the night in just his underwear." Conscience spun like a triangle in Mo Xuanji's heart, and every time it turned, his conscience hurt. "I deserve to die!"
The episode ended here, and Mo Xuanji opened the comment section.
[The old thief from Liuhe has opened a new hole? 】
[My goodness, this kid looks silly and heartless, but he actually has such a past. ]
[Can you please give the kids something nice, Mr. Liuhe? I’ve been following your comics for over a dozen times, but why are all the protagonists either fatherless or motherless? Change the setting! ]
Yes, the author of this comic is Liuhe, a famous comic artist for many years. He is a great artist with a wonderful plot, and he is also a good hand at sending knives. No matter how popular someone is, he will kill them without hesitation. If we didn't know his real appearance and address, someone might have sent him razor blades in a sack long ago.
Mo Xuanji seemed to be thinking about something and clicked on the next chapter.
Zhu Changan was in a trance the whole day, and kept thinking about what the old man said at night. When he came to his senses, he found that he had run away from home to the wilderness. Zhu Changan was cold and panicked, and he ran into a strange hunting trap after walking a few steps. What followed was what Mo Xuanji saw in her dream.
Kuni seems to care about the image of the protagonist, and in the comics he wears SpongeBob pajamas.
The comic turned to the page where Mo Xuanji appeared in the guise of a big boss.
A man whose face could not be seen appeared behind Zhu Changan.
The man was wearing a retro black robe, with his black hair loose and hanging casually on the ground.
The sense of oppression that could not be ignored, and the aura of a superior. The effect of time stagnation had disappeared, but Qiyi stood still and dared not move forward. It remembered that someone had made it feel the same sense of oppression many years ago.
Run! You must run!
From an angle that Zhu Changan couldn't see, a white feather fell, with flames burning at the end. The man raised his head, revealing a pair of beautiful red phoenix eyes.
"This is what you want."
The flames started.
[Give me all the information about this man in three seconds! ]
[A new wife has appeared, how can I stand still! 】
[Although Chang'an looks miserable, my wife is really beautiful. I climbed the wall for a short while.]
[Why are you all trying to steal other people's wives? Because your wives coaxed me for half an hour]
[This must be an important character. With such a delicate drawing, there must be an important plot later on.]
[Good fellow, the new character's combat power is really strong. The data of the superpower team at the back shows that this monster is at least S-level. He killed it with just one look? ]
There are occasionally a few serious comments in the "Escape from Suffering Army", but unfortunately they are quickly drowned out by new comments.
After a moment of silence, Mo Xuanji chose to bury himself in the quilt.
"Why, why is it so embarrassing, they really drew me in! No, that's not me, that's a vest." After consoling myself, I saw comments from netizens who didn't want pants. The level of embarrassment went up a level.
The system seemed to be shocked by the netizens and remained silent for a long time.
In the comic, Zhu Chang'an fell peacefully in the arms of "Uncle Zhao" with a face full of blood. A middle-aged man named Zhao Wencheng was so scared that he fainted on the spot and quickly called the medical team.
"Hurry up! Coordinates... I hit my nephew and he's bleeding! Help him, he's unconscious!"
The members of the superpower team who had just completed the exploration mission rushed over, and were also shocked when they saw the scene. After checking, they found that the person was fine, just a scratch on the forehead, and the coma was purely due to being too tired.
【Hahahaha Uncle Zhao——】
"Hmm? That's all." The four big words "To be continued" were written behind it.
At this time, the previous pop-up window popped up again.
[Please become a popular character in this comic *Λ_Λ* dear~]
"......" You are really persistent.
Liuhe should also be a supernatural being. Mo Xuanji didn't notice the existence of the third person in the deserted mountain. Either Liuhe hid well, or he has special abilities... Moreover, it only happened a few hours ago? Liuhe drew it? What kind of hand speed is this?
Mo Xuanji fell into deep thought as he looked at the comic, every frame of which was exquisitely drawn.
He didn't know if it was an illusion, but after the comic was released and its popularity grew, something in the dark seemed to have grown. His sixth sense was shouting in the depths of his consciousness: Say yes! Say yes!
"System?"
"It's up to you to make the decision. After all, I'm just a support system and can't make the decision for you."
"...So, Kuni, what do you want from me?"
The text on the pop-up finally changed.
【Our goals are the same. This is my investment in you.】
"we?"
[You, Zhu Changan, and others who will appear in subsequent comics. ]
Investment... In a flash, a word popped up in Mo Xuanji's mind: the power of faith. In some myths and legends, the power of faith is very important to the gods. To put it bluntly, the more faith there is, the stronger the magic power of the god. But it turns out that mortals can also use this thing?
"I agree."
【*Λ_Λ*】
【Happy cooperation】
