Li Fugui poured out the cold water, washed his face vigorously, and threw away everything that was thinking in his mind.

Sitting back on the sofa, Li Fugui opened the bag and checked the urn of his parents. He found that under the protection of the gauze wrapped before, although the urn was smashed, the fragments were not scattered, and the ashes were still intact and not spilled.

Li Fugui breathed a sigh of relief, took out the glue tape from the house, re-glued the urn, and placed it on the table that had been vacated in advance.

After finishing everything, Li Fugui took out the scroll he had dug out in the cemetery and examined it carefully.

He took out a lighter and tried to burn it, but the scroll was not damaged at all, and the knife could not damage it at all. If he were not afraid that the sound of gunshots would attract the police, Li Fugui even wanted to try to see if he could penetrate the scroll with a gun.

Li Fugui took out his cell phone and searched on the Internet, trying to find the material of the scroll, but in the end he still failed.

After all, invulnerability to water and fire is too mythical, and there is no way to find similar materials in reality. The only thing that is similar is the ancient sheepskin scroll mentioned in ancient books.

But Li Fugui knew very well that the thing in his hand was definitely not sheepskin.

There were no clues from the materials, so Li Fugui turned to study what was painted on the scroll.

When you unfold the scroll and look at it from a distance, you can see that there are many tiny ravines on the scroll. Some of the ravines are large and some are small, connected to each other. You can only vaguely see the outline of an individual.

Those outlines can vaguely distinguish the outlines of limbs and torso, which Li Fugui is sure of.

"Could it be some kind of meridian diagram?" Li Fugui thought, picking up the scroll and looking at it again and again.

Li Fugui once had those childish fantasies when he was a child, awakening his abilities like the heroes in those novels, opening up his meridians and becoming a legend.

But as we grow older, those unrealistic fantasies fade away.

But now that he has experienced unimaginable experiences, Li Fugui's previous imaginations have resurfaced.

Because in Li Fugui's memory, certain humans in the dark ages could awaken certain abilities and become espers!

The reason why Li Fugui stocked up on food was for this reason, hoping that when those with abilities would awaken, humanity would have a little foothold in the dangerous dark age.

And if he can become a person with abilities, then Li Fugui in the darkness will no longer be so passive, nor will he be so dangerous.

In the food chain of the Dark Ages, ability users are at the top of the food chain alongside the military forces!

Thinking of this, Li Fugui became excited. In his previous life, he had no ability to awaken and was at the bottom of the food chain.

On those days, even if you are intrigued, even if you use all your scheming, even if you are careful, you will lose your life inexplicably on that day.

Because Li Fugui died in a riot by ability users.

Trying your best to live, not dying in the hands of insects, but dying in the hands of humans. It sounds ridiculous to say, but it is so true.

In the eyes of those with abilities, the people at the bottom who are struggling to survive may be no different from pigs and dogs.

As he said, Li Fugui kept trying based on the scroll. However, no matter what Li Fugui tried, he still felt that his body did not change.

After a few hours, Li Fugui finally gave up.

Li Fugui felt that he had no talent at all. After all, he had not awakened any abilities in his previous life. Even if he obtained a scroll that was suspected to be an artifact in this life, he would not be able to awaken his abilities so quickly.

As long as you work hard, you will eventually succeed. Li Fugui comforted himself in this way.

Lying on the sofa, Li Fugui fell asleep holding the scroll.

Time flew by in a blink of an eye. Maybe it was because he didn't sleep well in the past few days. When Li Fugui woke up, it was already noon.

After picking up two compressed biscuits and soaking them with water, Li Fugui returned to practicing the scroll.

For Li Fugui, there is nothing more important than increasing his own strength. Now that everything is ready, cultivation is listed as the first priority by Li Fugui.

Cultivation is not as easy as imagined, but an extremely difficult ordeal.

Li Fugui didn't have any thoughts and couldn't control every muscle of his body. Naturally, he didn't understand what the meridians written on the scroll were and how those meridians were driven.

Li Fugui is not even a person with abilities, he is just an ordinary person. If he were a person with abilities, he might have a unique understanding of the scroll, but Li Fugui could only scurry around like a headless fly, trying to find the scroll that was revealed through the gap. A glimmer of opportunity.

The sun was setting in the west and it soon became dark.

Li Fugui put the scroll aside, stood by the window and smoked a cigarette.

Although Li Fugui was fully prepared for failure when practicing, he still had no clue after trying for so long. The frustration caused by failure was real, and this frustration made Li Fugui feel a little uncomfortable.

It's like there is a mountain of gold in front of you, but it is separated by a piece of hard bulletproof glass, and the glass is equipped with a combination lock. You can see it but you can't touch it, like a cat named Spring scratching your heart.

Pulling back the curtains and opening the window, the breeze hit my face.

There was little time for decoration, so Li Fugui could only hurry up and strengthen some more important places, such as doors and some windows.

This window was specially left by Li Fugui to observe the situation outside.

And this window faces the bustling street, and the floor is relatively high. It is basically impossible for any thieves to have the courage to climb.

Bugs have terrifying pincers and powerful legs. It is not difficult to climb stairs or break open iron doors. Reinforcement is of no use to bugs.

These reinforcements are only to prevent people, and bugs, as long as they do not attract the attention of bugs, a layer of curtains is enough.

"Today is the last day." Li Fugui thought to himself while smoking.

Tomorrow is the day when darkness will come. Even though Li Fugui already knew that darkness would come, Li Fugui had the luck in his heart that he did not want it to come.

The darkness is really scary.

Pedestrians were passing by on the street. A woman with heavy makeup and a sexy coat put her arms around a middle-aged man with a big belly and got into the car. A vendor was riding a three-wheeler filled with goods and shouted loudly. A girl on the street corner stood in front of her with a cold face. A boy with a confused look on his face.

A TV drama in a brightly lit private house in the distance was suddenly turned on. The children upstairs seemed frightened and let out sharp cries.

A small point of dark red light rotated in the dark night for several weeks, and finally fell to the ground and disappeared without a trace.

Li Fugui closed the window and continued his attempt.
