Ji Qianqin had never felt so bad before.

A long time ago, actually not too long ago, only three months at most, she was still alone and displaced.

At that time, the alien crisis had not yet erupted on a large scale, and only a few people could truly understand this world. During that time, as a reporter, Ji Qianqin's favorite thing was to go to various places with ghost stories and rumors.

Ji Qianqin walked along the way and finally came to a turning point in her life in an abandoned hospital.

In front of the sturdy monster at that time, Ji Qianqin grabbed the corner of the man's clothes with a distorted face. Although her chest was in great pain, she still shouted out the most determined voice she had ever heard.

"Let me join you!"

There is no need to elaborate on what happened after that.

Anyway, that period was the happiest time in Ji Qianqin's life. Not only did she have like-minded companions who could help each other, but she also had someone to back her up, so she could do whatever she wanted without worrying about anything going wrong.

This is probably the kind of workplace life that I have always dreamed of. There are no troubles, only harmonious colleagues, and the superiors are like parents who take care of everything for you. More importantly, they are quiet and never ask about things that embarrass you. Instead, they treat you as an equal member of the team.

Instead of treating you as a beast of burden that can be ordered around at will.

So Ji Qianqin lived a very happy life during that period and even gained several pounds.

But soon, things changed.

The leader disappeared and the people under him also fell apart. In the end, everyone went towards their own ideals and beliefs, as if they were putting in all their efforts and working hard with the attitude of "Even if the leader is gone, I will inherit his legacy", just like the male and female protagonists in a passionate young manga.

But they are the protagonists, but Ji Qianqin is not.

If we have to make a comparison, then she is the kind of office worker who is about to enter middle age in the isekai comics that can be seen everywhere, who needs to read people's eyes before speaking, who seems to be good at networking but is actually cautious, and who occasionally has to worry about whether her wallet is rich or not.

Compared to other people's belief of "leader, rest assured, I will save the world", Ji Qianqin does not seem to have such a grand plan. In other words, from the beginning, what she wanted was to be famous, famous, or damn famous.

Although this idea has faded a lot in the past period of time, Ji Qianqin still hasn't forgotten it, and everything has become an obsession.

Ultimately, it’s probably because of everything that happened to me in the past.

Shaking her head, Ji Qianqin stood at the entrance of the mall and muttered, "Although it looks like I have stepped into the door of a fantasy world, this door seems to be mostly open to young boys and girls who are willing to pursue their dreams, and is not willing to open to me, a middle-aged lady who is almost 30 years old without realizing it."

Everyone else has a bright future, but I am the only one who seems to be in such a mess that I am about to get moldy.

There is a joy in the thought of photosynthesis beginning.

Ji Qianqin took a can from the shelf in the store, weighed it in her hand, and smacked her lips: "It feels a little small, I don't know if it's enough for three meals."

Because she had to keep her identity secret recently, she had little time to take on any work, and she was able to survive only by living off her savings.

As for why Ji Qianqin has been hiding here and there recently...

Ultimately, it’s all because of the chattering little Ji guy in her head.

"This is unhealthy. I want to eat beef and pork chops!" The businessman yelled in Ji Qianqin's mind, "Hurry up and eat foie gras, caviar, BJ roast duck and roast goose!"

Holding the can, Ji Qianqin curled her lips and thought to herself: "Shut up."

"If it weren't for you, would I still be eating canned food here?" She walked to the checkout counter, flipping through her wallet, "Really? Why didn't our Ji family's ancestors kill you with a knife?"

In her mind, the oath-breaker smiled a little meanly: "Nonsense, it's because all the people in your Ji family are trash."

"Although Ji Shen was extremely talented and could be considered the absolute best at the time, he still fell into my hands in the end. I forced him to pray to a higher level being, and in the end, the Ji family was left in a state of neither human nor ghost."

Ji Qianqin didn't feel anything when listening to the oath-breaker talking nonsense in her mind and madly attacking her ancestors.

To her, the so-called "Ji Shen" and "Ji Family" have been outdated for who knows how many years. Even if she really has any feelings about it, she would only say "die well".

The impression her mother Ji Zi left on her was so profound that Ji Qianqin had no sense of reality about her so-called family.

Not to mention that her family had been extinct for who knows how many years, and she was the only known member of the Ji family left, otherwise the oath-breaker would not have been resurrected in her mind.

"No matter if it's the Ji family or the Li family, it's all because of you that I'm suffering now."

Ji Qianqin took the canned food, tightened her clothes and walked out of the convenience store. At the same time, she said to the oath-breaker in her heart: "What next? You made me run so fast, you can't really want me to be convicted of the crime of abandoning the prophet, right?"

At the beginning, the oath-breaker said that the prophet needed to be thrown into the so-called "narrow space of time". Because of this, Ji Qianqin was depressed for a long time.

And before that, it had allowed itself to leave the daylight and run to the countryside under an assumed name...

Even if other people don't have any opinions now, people outside probably think that he is "fleeing from the crime" because he did not believe in the prophet.

Alas, my reputation has been ruined now.

Although it doesn't seem to be very famous...

Amid Ji Qianqin's sigh, the oath-breaker also sighed: "How stupid."

"Listen carefully. I threw your prophet into the narrow space of time because he was a 'mistake'," it said, "and after fighting with 'me', or the 'me' in the past, he has been remembered by 'time'. The cocoon is one of the means He uses to target 'mistakes'. If nothing is done, he will definitely die, and it will be an ugly death."

"As for why I let you run away from that little nest."

The oath-breaker said nonchalantly, "Of course it's because I want to avoid the eyes and ears of certain people."

"Didn't I tell you before that someone is watching you? I wasn't sure before, but recently I finally found out - that guy must have taken action now."

If the Oathbreaker was not mistaken, then the monster that shared the same origin with it must want to "eat" it now.

Only by absorbing the core of oneself into the body can a person truly possess the power of a stable "origin".

So no matter from which angle you consider it, the oath-breaker must never let Ji Qianqin be discovered by others.

"You know, if you are caught by 'me', the core in your body will be extracted," the Oath Breaker said in a rare serious tone, "and you, as the former carrier of this core, will also die."

"Now we are all on the same boat. If you don't want to be sucked dry by others, then just listen to me and don't worry about anything. Just wait for a month and everything will come to an end."

One month...

For some reason, Ji Qianqin seemed to hear the Oath Breaker talking about this thing often recently.

But once she opened her mouth to ask, the oath-breaker refused to tell her and only said that she would know when the time came.

Ji Qianqin felt that she had not experienced the same thing as the Riddler for several months, but today she experienced it again on the Oath Breaker.

I feel quite emotional.

After coming out of the store, Ji Qianqin was just about to ride her beloved electric bike.

But the next second.

Ji Qianqin suddenly pressed the handlebars, raised her head and stared at the sky in the distance.

As if in response to her gaze, just a moment later, a bright flame suddenly emerged from the city not far away!

Along with the flames, there were also waves of sound a few seconds later.

The overlapping sound waves were like ripples in the water. When the flames burned half of the sky, they exploded from a distance to all directions with a "boom", breaking everything around in an instant! After a brief pause, the alarms of the motor vehicles parked on the roadside sounded one after another.

In a short while, the sunset street turned into a sea of ​​fire and noise! ​​"What happened?!"

"It seems like there was an explosion over there?!"

"Wait, that's my son's school?!"

"Is anyone there? A strange species has appeared near Xincheng Elementary School. It is conservatively estimated to be 'dangerous' level! Where are the people from the Countermeasures Bureau and other clubs?"

Listening to the chaotic noises around her, Ji Qianqin held the handle of the electric bike.

The oathbreaker inhabiting her body seemed to have a bad feeling: "Hey, you're not going to check on the situation, are you?"

"Don't be ridiculous," the Oath Breaker said angrily, "What do you think you can do? Not to mention that we need to avoid being seen by others. If you are exposed now, that guy will definitely notice your presence, and then you will die!"

Listening to the oath-breaker's voice, Ji Qianqin shrugged: "I don't plan to go either."

"What can I, an ordinary person, do?" She sighed, "But I think that if it were those people I know, they would rush over without hesitation - even if their abilities are not as good as mine now."

"I just realized that I was a bad person. Even when danger came to me, I didn't have the consciousness to be a savior. I just thought, 'Can the canned food be half price tomorrow?' and then rode away on my electric bike."

As expected, someone like me cannot become the "protagonist" of a hot-blooded comic.

Too utilitarian, too cautious, and totally lacking in ambition and drive, just like the weeds that can be seen everywhere on the roadside.

There might be an occasional outburst, but most of the time it has nothing to do with me.

Shaking her head, Ji Qianqin was about to ride away on her bike.

But the next second.

Her heart suddenly skipped a beat.

Subconsciously holding her heart, Ji Qianqin raised her head blankly.

"Did you... feel anything?" Ji Qianqin asked, "Just now?"

Feel?

The oathbreaker was stunned for a second: "Not at all, what did you feel?"

Ji Qianqin rubbed her chest and said uncertainly: "I don't know either, but at that moment, my heartbeat seemed to stop for a moment."

"Could it be that you have cardiovascular disease and don't have many years left to live?" The Oath Breaker said politely, "Since you'll be dead soon, you might as well have a good time these two days, eat more delicious and fun food, and it's best to be a little extravagant and eat a lot of Tomahawk steak."

Where did this guy learn all these internet buzzwords?

Ji Qianqin rolled her eyes.

She just glanced at her wrist subconsciously: "I don't know why, but I always have an illusion. That is, there is something very...'important' to me over there."

This feeling is not real, it is more like a gut feeling.

It was as if something connected her to something else, making her heart moved in the vague connection.

The oathbreaker was stunned: "What do you want to do?"

After a moment of silence, Ji Qianqin sighed: "Like I said before, I am a bad person. But at the same time, I am also a bit obsessive-compulsive."

"If I don't figure that out, I won't be able to sleep well at night," Ji Qianqin rubbed her head. "For my sleep quality and yours, I think I should take a risk and try."

"Are you crazy?!" The Oath Breaker was completely confused. "Just because of a vague 'intuition', you want to go deep into danger?!"

Putting both hands on the handlebars again, Ji Qianqin smiled and said, "I forgot to tell you, my intuition is usually very accurate. From childhood to adulthood, there are no exceptions."

After saying this, she pressed the handle of the electric bike and drove towards the place in front where the explosion was still emitting.

And in that place.

The cloaked ferryman reached out and held down a man in front of him.

"Tell me," she stared at the man in front of her, "Do you know... 'The Prophet'?"

"Prophet... Prophet?" The man she held struggled in confusion, "What are you talking about? I... I don't understand at all!"

Facing the man's desperate struggle, the ferryman murmured to himself: "It seems that he doesn't know."

If that's the case, it would be of no value.

After saying this, she threw the man aside.

She did not attack the man. She was not so stingy as to wield a sickle against an ordinary man who was powerless.

But the same cannot be said for the man's lackeys.

In the corner of the ferryman's eye, several "monsters" jumped down from the roof next to them, grabbed the man by the collar, and opened their mouths towards him.

Soon, the monsters' mouths swelled to dozens of times the size of normal people.

Then, there was a "crack".

The man's head was bitten off in one bite, and the sound of the spine breaking was clearly audible, just like when you accidentally hit a crispy bone while eating ribs and then start chewing.

Listening to the voice, the ferryman had a blank expression on his face.

She just shook her cloak, looking confused.

"Strange, I think it's here that I feel that...almost 'intuitive' feeling?"

Why, there isn't any?
