Chapter 3: It's midnight, time travel
In the next few days, Xia Yuan studied while occasionally glancing at the posts and referring to the responses from netizens.
Of course, compared to the valuable replies, there are more weird replies with tricky angles.
"The author may have been summoned by a magical girl from another world, and if he traveled back in time, he would be contracted to become a familiar."
"No, she must have been summoned by a magical beast. After traveling through time, she will be contracted to become a magical girl..."
"Maybe he was discovered by a great wizard who was searching for alien life and using him as experimental material. He was then captured and turned into high-level experimental material. The seven days are to construct a traction ritual based on the coordinates!"
"I can't afford to offend you! I can't afford to offend you!"
………
Xia Yuan calmly skipped over these replies. He was about to travel through time. If his thinking patterns were further distorted by netizens at this time, he would be really doomed.
It is worth mentioning that during these seven days, all of Xia Yuan’s physiological needs, such as eating and going to the toilet, were almost all met in the small restaurant downstairs.
After being frightened on the day of his rebirth, he developed a psychological trauma about the bathroom in his home, and even paid a high price to have someone replace the explosion-proof door.
This made the workers who came to install the door very confused: Is there any explosive in your bathroom? Xia Yuan had to make excuses by saying that there was something wrong with the toilet, and then fled under the workers' weird and admiring gazes.
………
Day 7, evening.
The setting sun was setting in the west, and the distant horizon blocked the last ray of sunlight. Xia Yuan looked at the afterglow of the setting sun with longing, then raised his hand to turn off the computer.
Without the only light source, the bedroom suddenly became extremely dim. Xia Yuan sat quietly with his arms around his knees, his thoughts in a mess.
Although he had done his best to prepare, he still couldn't help but have some random thoughts at this last moment.
I will leave this world tonight... Am I prepared enough?
What if I travel to an area that is not suitable for survival? What if I die on the spot instead of traveling? What if the purpose of summoning me is actually to use me as a pet, a familiar, a test material, or something that cannot be provoked? ...
Xia Yuan thought silently in the darkness, pondering the possible outcome of the future.
"Forget it. There's no point in thinking too much about factors that are beyond your control."
The more he thought about it, the more hopeless his life seemed. Soon, Xia Yuan gave up thinking and began to do a final check on the prepared supplies to make sure he didn't miss anything.
He has also set up a timed automatic transfer for those who gave valuable replies in the post. After all, he is about to travel through time, and there is no point in keeping the money.
After checking all the supplies, he dressed neatly, carried his backpack, held the trekking pole, and sat quietly in a chair, waiting for the moment to leave.
The electronic watch was placed on the computer table beside him. In the dim environment, the blood-red numbers reflected in his pupils flashed second by second, slowly but unwaveringly approaching zero.
The night gradually deepened, but Xia Yuan had no desire to sleep.
Finally, under his slightly anxious gaze, the time reached [23:59:59] and the number returned to zero, and Xia Yuan suddenly stood up without any warning. But then he almost fell to the ground, and only managed to stand with the support of the trekking pole.
Then, he slowly moved towards the door of the room in a strange posture like a three-legged reptile. As he moved forward, his posture gradually began to adjust and his movements gradually became more flexible.
During this process, Xia Yuan's consciousness was in a state of mixed fear and novelty.
He tried to control his body to stop moving, but in vain, as if he was just a bystander at the moment.
Slowly walking through the living room and opening the locked explosion-proof door with a bit of unfamiliarity, Xia Yuan stood in front of the mirror again.
At this moment, the mirror surface was abnormally dark. As time passed, a grayish-white hue began to overflow from the edge of the mirror and spread to the surroundings.
The environment in the bathroom began to fade, becoming like the environment in an old black-and-white photograph.
Xia Yuan looked at the strange sights around him in amazement. At this moment, an irresistible huge suction force suddenly came from the dark mirror.
Following this force, his consciousness floated out of his body and sank into the mirror.
The moment he passed through the mirror, Xia Yuan forced himself to "turn his head" and took one last look at his body.
In this glance, he noticed a detail with horror: when he looked in the mirror, the corners of his mouth had curled up without him noticing, revealing an extremely familiar smile!
This time, he is outside the mirror! …………
The world in the mirror is not completely dark as it appears outside the mirror.
Quite the contrary, the colorful colors that cannot be described in any language and cannot even be distinguished by the naked eye are surging in the empty space, and occasionally there are wonderful streams of light flashing around.
The strange energy carried Xia Yuan's consciousness and traveled through this world at an incredible speed.
As time passed, some of the strange energy 'seeped' into his consciousness.
To put it simply, it's like wrapping a roll of toilet paper with a wet towel. Some of the moisture in the towel gradually seeps into the toilet paper roll.
Passively absorbing the infiltrating energy, the aura of Xia Yuan's consciousness underwent subtle changes.
The feeling when absorbing energy is very comfortable. When the consciousness body is soaked in this energy, a concept of "warmth" will arise, which can dilute the feeling of "emptiness" brought by having no body.
Maybe a long time had passed, maybe only a moment had passed, Xia Yuan couldn't be sure. As his consciousness gradually began to fall into a trance, a faint but clear voice rang in his ears.
"Chubo——"
Surrounded by the remaining strange energy, Xia Yuan's consciousness seemed to penetrate some kind of membrane, escaping from that colorful world and entering a completely dark place again.
But here, he instinctively felt safe and warm, and the sound of his heartbeat became unusually clear.
Wait... heartbeat...? Xia Yuan thought vaguely, and then he felt himself moving. The darkness was pierced by the strong light, and the cold air enveloped his whole body.
"Wow--"
………
Unival, in the northern part of the Gloria Empire, in the province of Karlas.
Between the snowy mountains on the southwest side of the Migalo Mountains stands a magnificent pearl-colored castle complex - Moon Castle . The sky-blue gold-rimmed flag flutters in the wind, with a strange crystal bird emblem with three slender tail feathers in the center. Several ice falcons hover over the towers of the castle, making long calls from time to time.
In front of the castle's towering gate stood a majestic male statue with a dragon under his feet and a long-handled staff in his hand. On the gray stone base at the bottom of the statue, a line of ancient Mani language was engraved like a sharp sword.
"The crystal bird does not fall for the mortal world—"
"The first year of the Glorious Calendar, the month of Scarlet Rain, the twenty-fourth day - Aldridge Lo Olivendi"
In Lan Xing's room, after the strange image in the mirror completely disappeared, Xia Yuan's body silently stared at his own reflection in the mirror.
After a moment, he slowly fell down without a sound.
The input method started to jump on its own, and gradually spelled out a line of words: He was so handsome that he died!!! Gu——→Recommendation vote
