Chapter 1 New Account, Don’t Do It
"You bastard, give me your life!"
A crisp and delicate voice rang in his ears, and Li Nuo, who had just fallen asleep, woke up instantly.
In a drowsy state, he saw a figure standing in front of him.
The girl was wearing a white ancient costume dress. She looked about sixteen or seventeen years old. She had a slim and well-proportioned figure, skin as white as snow, and delicate and beautiful facial features. She was no less beautiful than the female stars in the entertainment industry, but her complexion was not very good.
More than just bad, her angry eyes were filled with deep hatred, and in her hand was a gleaming dagger, as if Li Nuo had done something to her that was hated by heaven and man.
What’s going on, COSPLAY?
The trial would begin in two hours. As a judge's assistant, Li Nuo had been up all night and had just finished sorting out the litigation materials. He lay on the cramped folding bed in the corner of the office, ready to take a nap to regain his energy, but he was woken up just as he fell asleep.
No, this is not the assistant's office. Li Nuo looked around and found that he was lying on a gorgeous bed. The furnishings in the room were also antique and looked extremely luxurious.
So, this is a dream?
What a messed up dream. I've been so busy lately that I don't have time to watch costume dramas...
call out!
In the dream, before Li Nuo could react, the girl had already made her move.
The dagger cut through the air and stabbed Li Nuo's neck.
Even though he knew it was a dream, Li Nuo still subconsciously dodged.
This time he dodged it, but not completely.
The dagger was originally intended to stab Li Nuo's neck, but because Li Nuo dodged, the dagger's landing point deviated slightly and cut a gash on his shoulder.
The shoulders of the silk pajamas embroidered with delicate patterns were instantly stained red with blood.
pain!
It hurts so much!
Li Nuo's relatively good-looking face was severely distorted due to the pain, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. He did not expect that such a real pain would appear in his dream!
The attack missed the vital point, and the dagger in the girl's hand stabbed at his heart again.
He attacked twice, and each time he wanted to kill Li Nuo!
Having handled many cases, Li Nuo knew very well that he could not fight head-on when facing a knife-wielding gangster. He crawled to the corner of the bed, and the girl also jumped onto the bed, chasing him with a dagger in her hand.
This time, Li Nuo was forced into a corner and had nowhere to hide.
Li Nuo leaned against the corner of the bed and completely gave up resistance.
Generally speaking, if you die in a dream, the dream ends.
The sooner he dies, the sooner he wakes up. He has to go to work soon.
Li Nuo had already accepted his fate, but the dagger in the girl's hand did not pierce his heart.
The sharp dagger stopped less than half an inch away from Li Nuo's chest.
Li Nuo thought that she had a change of heart and did not intend to hurt innocent people, but when he looked up, he found that the little girl looked very strange.
Her face flushed and her forehead was covered with sweat. She seemed to want to use all her strength to stab the dagger into Li Nuo's heart, but her body seemed to be restrained by something and she couldn't move at all.
Li Nuo took the opportunity to run off the bed. At the same time, the door was kicked open by a huge force. A white-haired old man ran in from outside. He found that Li Nuo was only slightly injured. He was obviously relieved. He walked quickly to Li Nuo and said with a fist: "I am late, please forgive me, young master!"
Li Nuo had no idea what was going on, but he knew it was time to wake up from his dream.
I don’t know how long I slept, but I missed the court session and had my salary deducted.
How should I wake up from a dream?
Death, fall, or violent impact...
This seems to be what was said in Inception. Forget about suicide. Even if it is in a dream, the pain is real. If you fall... you will not be able to find a high place for a while. Finally, Li Nuo looked at a thick pillar in the room.
Without paying any attention to the old man or looking at the girl again, Li Nuo took a running start and ran headfirst into the pillar in the midst of everyone's confused and shocked gazes.
Bang!
Before he could feel the severe pain in his forehead, Li Nuo's consciousness began to sink into an endless abyss.
…
"ha……"
It was bright outside, Li Nuo yawned and got up from the bed.
"hiss……"
Li Nuo frowned as he felt severe pain in his forehead and shoulder. He raised his hand to touch his forehead, then his expression froze.
Why is the bag so big?
He looked down at his shoulder again, and a piece of gauze oozing blood was particularly eye-catching.
Li Nuo finally realized something. He looked around and found that he was still in the room in his dream. The gorgeous big bed, the antique furniture, and the delicate and exquisite carvings on the headboard were antique and full of luxury.
Why haven’t you woken up yet?
No, no, the court is about to start. If he doesn’t wake up, something serious will happen.
It seemed that hitting the pillar was not working, so Li Nuo climbed out of bed, walked into the yard, and saw a ladder on the top of the wall at a glance.
As soon as the white-haired old man stepped over the gate, he saw his own son standing on the roof with a solemn expression and his hands open, and then he jumped down.
Before he could react, he immediately stretched out his hand and pointed at Li Nuo from a distance.
Li Nuo jumped down from the roof, staring at himself falling to the ground at the speed of a leaf. The old man had already run to his side, grabbed his arm, and said anxiously: "Sir, if you have anything on your mind, tell me. I will help you find a solution. Don't commit suicide!"
…
Daxia.
Chang'an.
Dali Temple.
"Master, you really can't remember anything?"
"You don't remember who the old slave is?"
"Then you should remember who you are, right?"
Li Nuo sat on the bed and shook his head blankly at the man who called himself "old slave" with a look of concern and worry.
The old man looked at Li Nuo with a dazed expression and lamented, "It's over. It looks like his brain is damaged..."
Li Nuo looked out the window, his heart in turmoil.
Of course he remembered who he was.
Li Nuo, male, Han nationality, 21 years old, graduated from the Law School of Xijing University, just passed the bar exam and the civil service exam and became a glorious people's judge...assistant.
Although he was still just an assistant, he had a stable job at a young age and became the most popular among his peers.
The grassroots court was very busy with official duties. He had been working all night for two consecutive nights and had just finished all the pre-trial preparations. He was about to lie down and rest for a while, but when he closed his eyes and opened them again, he appeared in another place.
A pretty little girl, holding a knife, wanted to kill him.
This old man, whom I had never seen before, kept calling himself "old slave".
Call it a dream, but everything he experienced was so clear and real.
Li Nuo has realized something.
No way, I just stayed up for two all-nighters and I’m dead?
OK, as a modern person, after being exposed to countless novels and film and television works, Li Nuo is not unable to accept the idea of time travel.
But, if he traveled through time, then what about this book floating in front of him?
This book seems real but not real, seems imaginary but not imaginary, and is suspended about half a meter in front of Li Nuo.
Li Nuo stretched out his hand and waved it in front of his eyes. His palm passed through the middle of the book without any hindrance, which meant that the book had no entity.
Soon, Li Nuo found that the book looked familiar.
Half a year ago, he found an ancient book in a used book market. The content of the book was written in small seal script. As a law student, Li Nuo happened to recognize the two characters on the cover of the book, which were the seal script of "法" (law) and "典" (classic).
After some bargaining, Li Nuo spent eighty yuan to buy the book from the stall owner, intending to use it as a reference for studying ancient laws.
Although he did not use this book when writing documents later, it was good to use it as a pillow for naps. Before he traveled through time, he fell asleep with this book as a pillow. Unexpectedly, this book actually traveled through two worlds, followed him here, and appeared in front of him in this form.
Li Nuo glanced at the worried old man, who seemed unable to see this thing.
His gaze moved back again, to the top of the book cover, the two characters "Code" in seal script, looking friendly and familiar.
What’s different from before is that this time, there are two more lines of small words below the cover of the book.
"Name: Li Nuo."
"Lifespan: three days."
Looking at the two extra lines of words on the cover of the code, Li Nuo was stunned for a moment.
What’s going on? He just traveled through time and he only has three days to live?
Hey, new account, stop it...
