"That was the first dream I ever had, and the last dream I ever had."
"I opened the tightly closed window. Outside the window was not land or houses, but the sea."
"How can I describe that scene? I can't."
"I looked up at the sky, and there was nothing but darkness."
"I'm scared."
"I'm awake from my dream."

April 4, 2174, Rain
Li Yuzhen was half lying on the ground. He was exhausted and unable to move. He was surrounded by rubble and corpses, some of which belonged to strange beasts and some to his companions.
The heavy rain washed away the smell of blood in the air, and the rain wrapped in blood flowed down Li Yuzhen's face. His right limb was missing and bleeding quietly. He had no way to survive and could only wait to die.
The invisible lens in front of the right eye shows:
NI001
Abbas bias: 1.053
Sariel bias: 0.102
Neural threshold: 53
Profit calculation: Very low
In the rain, Li Yuzhen heard footsteps coming towards him softly. Li Yuzhen slowly opened his eyes with great effort, but the blood blurred his vision and he could not see clearly.
It was probably a woman, wearing a black windbreaker with her legs exposed. Li Yuzhen saw her shoes clearly, which were a pair of old-fashioned high-top canvas shoes, also black.
"Alive, NI001?"
Li Yuzhen opened his mouth, but couldn't open it wide, his voice was hoarse, and he didn't answer.
"[I saved your life, you will repay me in the future.]"
Li Yuzhen couldn't refuse, so she used Sariel to attack his brain directly.
Li Yuzhen remembered who this woman was. He closed his eyes again and became carefree. If this woman found him, he would not die. Unless he died of natural causes, she would not let him die as long as he was still breathing...

The summer is scorching and the heat wave is rolling.
After making sure the shop was clean, Ai Chun moved a stool to sit by the door, holding a worn-out tablet. This tablet should have been obsolete long ago, but she had no money to replace it, and it would take another three years to repair it. She connected to the data, opened the search engine, and searched for the umpteenth time, but the answer was always the same:
In the year 2105 of the Star Calendar, a virus broke out that swept the world. Scientists discovered it and named it the "Xila" virus. Some people called it the "Butterfly" because of its strange shape. The "Butterfly" killed hundreds of millions of people on the blue planet.
In the same year, people lost the ability to dream and also lost the starry sky.
Humans could only explore a small part of the starry sky in the past, but now they can’t go out and can’t see the starry sky.
In the year 2140 of the Star Calendar, some humans underwent genetic mutations. Studies have shown that a special piece of DNA appeared in some people's bodies, the cause of which is unknown.
The mutant has abilities beyond those of ordinary people - temporarily called Sariel. People call the owner of Sariel the "Moon Messenger". The Moon Messenger's body functions are obviously stronger than those of normal people. He can resist the "butterflies" with his own immune system without relying on drugs.
In the same year, strange changes occurred in the animal and plant kingdoms. Various strange beasts and bizarre plants posed a serious threat to the lives of ordinary people.
In the same year, the global environment deteriorated, natural disasters became frequent, and living resources became scarce. Some countries were forced to migrate in search of suitable habitats, leading to conflicts with other countries.
In the same year, a race that did not belong to the Blue Star quietly arrived, and only the Moon Messenger could kill it.
Nine living areas have been formed in the Xia Kingdom with Huadu as the center, and all the Moon Envoys are trained uniformly by the Xia Kingdom.
As for the search about NI001, nothing came up.
Today is July 30, 2177, and it is a sunny day.
As usual, Ai Yu was helping her adoptive father look after the tavern. He was fast asleep after gambling and drinking too much that night. As soon as Ai Yu opened the door, a woman walked in. She recognized her: Hua Jian Zui, a frequent drinker at the tavern. Therefore, she was quite... familiar with her.
Ai Yu didn't know if this was her real name. This person always wore sunglasses regardless of day or night, and wore a gray sports vest with her belly exposed regardless of the season. She wore a solid white suit on the outside, overalls on the bottom, and black military boots on her feet. Her whole outfit was indescribably strange, and it was all supported by her looks.
Hua Jianzui walked into the house and, as usual, poured himself a large glass of beer, put some ice in it, and sat on a high stool, gulping down half a glass before looking at Ai Yu with his chin in his hand: "Sister, do you look good today?"
"Yeah." Ai Yu nodded, put away the tablet and looked at the street.
Hua Jianzui finished the remaining half of her drink, burped, and stood up to take another one. As usual, she drank half of it first. She put half of her arm on the table, stretched one leg on the ground, and looked at Ai Yu at the door: "I heard that you were tested positive for Sariel."
"Yeah." Ai Yu responded.
"Are you planning to study at Jigong? The admission invitation should have been sent by now, right?" Hua Jianzui continued, "Let me guess, which class will Xiao Aiyu be in? Class 10, right? What do you think? Class 10 is full of interesting kids, hahahaha. Hey, Teacher Li, get out of class is over, let's have a drink!"
Li Yuzhen walked into the run-down tavern. Hua Jianzui poured him a beer and put an ice cube in it. Before Li Yuzhen could pick up the glass, he clinked his own glass and drank the beer. "Teacher Li, you would never have guessed that little Aiyu Sariel has awakened."
Hua Jianzui approached Li Yuzhen, raised his finger up and down, and whispered, "It's a one in ten thousand chance of being an S!" Then he distanced himself from the two of them and laughed, "Who was the last S? There are only about ten thousand Moon Envoys in Xia Country. Among so many people, there is only a one in ten thousand chance of being an S.
