"Zhang Yan.
Your name is Zhang Yan, right?
What are you doing?
It's your turn.
Pick something. "
The sound came from outside the ears, very loud.
Zhang Yan woke up suddenly.
When he saw his surroundings clearly, he was shocked.
I saw myself sitting in a classroom, surrounded by students aged seventeen or eighteen.
Familiar and strange.
Looking at himself again, he was surprised to find out.
He is only eighteen years old.
'Am I not already dead? '
Zhang Yan still clearly remembers how tragic his death was.
More than ten years ago, the solar system entered a dense dust cloud with a diameter of 2,500 light-years. On that day, something strange happened to Blue Star.
All the horror novels, stories, ghost stories, movies in the history of Blue Star, even just a thoughtful and terrifying essay written by an unknown person.
All have become real existences.
The world was divided into one hundred and ninety-seven regions by country by a mysterious force.
Every country needs to send people over the age of 18 to enter the strange world and compete for luck.
If a country's luck is exhausted, that country will be invaded by a weird world, and everyone will be trapped in the weirdness and be swallowed up.
Luck can only be obtained through the omens brought by people who come out of the strange world alive.
As for those who can enter the strange world and leave alive, they are called soul masters.
The more omens a country receives, the stronger its luck, and the more resources there will be on the corresponding territory.
After the strangeness came, the fate of mankind soon no longer centered on technology.
In the early days of the strange arrival, mankind paid a heavy price and finally understood that not everyone is suitable to enter the strange world.
Some of the strange things brought out of the strange world will choose certain people with spiritual power to make contracts.
People who possess these strange objects can become quasi-soul masters, which can greatly improve their ability to survive in the strange world.
Those strange objects are also called soul objects.
The best age for a contracted soul is a young person around eighteen years old.
Therefore, the college entrance examination in the Tang Dynasty also became a ceremony for choosing soul objects.
"I was reborn to the day when I chose the soul object."
Zhang Yan was shocked and doubtful, but quickly calmed down.
In fact, in his last life, he did not find a suitable strange object during the soul-sending object ceremony.
So he became an ordinary person.
They are said to be ordinary people, but under the cover of a strange world, ordinary people's lives are not good.
This is a world centered on soul masters. If you can't be a soul master, you can only serve the soul masters and earn some extremely meager income.
Even reduced to tools and breeders.
Zhang Yan has been working as a bartender in a Soul Master bar.
At the beginning, the luck of the Tang Dynasty was not bad, and ordinary people like them could get by.
But soon after, things took a turn for the worse.
The soul masters sent by the Tang State into the strange world began to die suddenly in large numbers for unknown reasons.
Most of the country's luck was robbed by the Eagle Kingdom, the European League, and the Japanese Kingdom.
The whole country fell into gloom and misery.
Finally, in a battle of luck, Tang State blocked all luck and fought a last-ditch battle.
But failed miserably.
The Tang State, without the protection of luck, encountered a strange invasion.
Zhang Yan stood at home, watching with his parents as the sun in the sky turned blood red and darkness enveloped everything.
Immediately afterwards, countless evil monsters rushed out of the darkness.
Tear everyone in Tang State into pieces.
In order to protect Zhang Yan, his parents were brutally murdered in front of Zhang Yan's eyes.
His eyes were splitting.
He hated himself for not being a soul master.
He hated himself for why he couldn't do anything.
With hatred, Zhang Yan's stomach was torn open by a strange thing, his internal organs were dug out, and he died in agony.
A sharp light flashed in Zhang Yan's eyes: "Since God allows me to do it again.
In this life, he must not let his parents, family, and the Tang Dynasty fall into the miserable fate of the previous life again. "
He walked up to the podium and his eyes fell on the objects covering the table.
There are 4 soul items left.
A cartoon bow, a fruit knife, a paper man, and an ashtray.
These seem to be very ordinary things, but they give people an extremely weird feeling.
There are 40 people in the class, and 5 of them have successfully chosen treacherous objects and become quasi-soul masters.
This is already quite high in Wencheng, a remote town where Zhang Yan lives.
The chance of being contracted by a monster is not high. It not only depends on the fit, but also depends on chance and luck.
And I also need to be an inspired person.
But the worst thing is that whether a person has inspiration or not cannot be known until he comes into contact with the soul-sending object during the soul-sending ceremony.
Zhang Yan had no inspiration.
And he knew very well that whether it was the previous life or this life, the four soul-residing objects in front of him could not make him a soul-residing master.
There must be another way.
"Why don't you choose?"
The teacher on the stage was already impatient.
Zhang Yan is the last batch of students to choose. After he finishes his selection, he can get off work.
"What I'm waiting for is not here."
Zhang Yan was thinking rapidly as he spoke.
It's not like I spent so many years in the Soul Master Bar in vain.
He has heard countless soul masters brag about all kinds of weird things in the weird world.
And the city where he was located, Wen City, once produced one of the strongest soul masters in the Tang Dynasty.
The soul-sending master was about the same age as Zhang Yan, went to the same school, and even participated in the soul-sending ceremony in the same batch.
Her contract artifact is a book.
The most important thing is that it is said that the soul master did not have spiritual power at first.
But I was chosen by that book.
Zhang Yan, as a person who has no spiritual power and has missed out on the soul master, is very interested in this book.
So we conducted a detailed investigation into the strongest soul master.
In the autobiography of the soul master, he also mentioned how he accidentally made a contract with that book.
The original intention is to remind the younger generations that there may be many different ways to contract soul-bearing objects.
But the method of the soul master contract in the book was quite strange, so Zhang Yan memorized it firmly.
He even knew clearly when the book was sent to Wencheng No. 1 Middle School.
Just ten minutes later.
In order to allow more people to contract with treacherous objects, the Tang State had a rotation system for soul-carrying treacherous objects.
Try not to bury anyone who has spiritual power but has not been selected by the school's current monsters, so this system was created.
In the same city, every school will transfer its remaining soul objects to other schools during the soul-sending ceremony.
This means that the book will be delivered to his Wencheng No. 1 Middle School in ten minutes.
Under the teacher's gaze, Zhang Yan no longer looked at the soul-residing object on the podium, but turned around and walked out.
"Hey, where are you going?"
The teacher shouted in astonishment.
There were also many disdainful murmurs in the classroom.
"I have known for a long time that Zhang Yan has no spiritual power. It seems that he just gave up."
"This guy is so clueless that he doesn't even dare to try."
"It's better for such a coward to be an ordinary person, so as not to enter a strange world and be frightened to death."
Zhang Yan ignored the gossip behind him and walked straight to the playground.
Ten minutes later, a strong man in a suit walked in.
"The soul-residing objects from No. 3 Middle School have arrived. Anyone who has not been selected by the soul-residing objects should come out and give it a try."
Zhang Yan was overjoyed and rushed over first.
There are a lot of soul-carrying objects left over from the third choice, more than twenty kinds.
One of them is a book.
"Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio?"
The moment he saw the book, Zhang Yan was stunned.
Before he could reach out, a strong boy pushed him and grabbed the book first.
"Tch, is this piece of shit really a soul-carrying object?"
The boy held the book in his hand, felt it, and then threw it on the ground.
Zhang Yan quickly picked up the book and gently patted the dust on the outside.
The man in a suit next to him saw that Zhang Yan was so precious with this book, and laughed and said, "Boy, give up. This book has been circulated to dozens of cities and hundreds of schools.
No one was chosen by it.
Moreover, there is no strange aura in this book. If it were not confirmed that the soul-sending master brought it out from the strange world, no one would believe that this thing could be a soul-sending object. "
Zhang Yan said nothing, but he was ecstatic in his heart.
If he hadn't read the autobiography of the most powerful soul-sending master, he would never have known the soul-sending method of this book.
Other soul-residing objects require an inspired person to hold them in their hands and sense them until they are recognized by the monster.
But this book is different.
Zhang Yan bit his index finger hard and forced out a drop of blood, which dripped onto the cover of the book impatiently.
When the man saw Zhang Yan smearing the book with blood, he immediately became anxious: "You brat, it's just that you weren't chosen by the soul-carrying object, how could you maliciously defile the object?
This is illegal...
Damn it!
You kid is actually contracted by this book. "
The blood on the cover was quickly absorbed by the book, and then a strange light enveloped Zhang Yan.
The light disperses and the contract is made.
Although Zhang Yan felt nothing, a smile appeared on his face.
Finally, in this life, he also became a soul master.
He took the most important step that he had never done in his previous life!
