"On the fifth day... I have to go out."
Lu Yuanming said this to himself for the ninth time.
He traveled through time and space to the future world five years later, in 2028.
This is also the earth, why do you say that?
Because looking out of the broken window of the room, you could see English letters everywhere on the street. He recognized that the word New York and South Bronx frequently appeared in those letters.
That's right, he traveled to the South Bronx, a famous slum area in New York, USA.
Lu Yuanming was a soul traveler, and the original owner of the time-traveled body was an Asian. The key is that Lu Yuanming didn't get any memory of this body, so he didn't know the name of the original owner of this body at all. I don’t know the social relationships of the original owner of this body, etc.
Judging from the information Lu Yuanming got from exploring the apartment room, the original owner of this body was not very old. He should be about the same age as before he traveled through time, both in his twenties.
The original owner of the body was very poor, and the apartment he lived in was very dilapidated. Not to mention, there was almost no furniture in the room, and it was already 2028. The original owner of the body didn’t even have a mobile phone. Lu Yuanming only relied on peering out of the window. Some billboards came to confirm the current time. It was very simple. It was another presidential election in the United States, and those billboards were all contracted by the presidential candidates' information. Only then did Lu Yuanming know the current time.
If it was just poverty, Lu Yuanming would not be picky if he could live another life.
But the key is that the original owner of this body is not only poor, but also an addict! !
This body was extremely thin, with pinholes all over its arms. Lu Yuanming would start to pant just after moving for a while. Looking in the mirror, the original owner of the body had sunken eyes, a pale complexion, and looked like he was about to die.
Lu Yuanming almost had the intention of committing suicide.
All right!
His body was so weak that he was going to die, but he had endured all this. At most, he could change his body's past with his will. After all, he was a soul piercer. He himself had never had these bad habits, so he would only have a physical withdrawal reaction, not a physical withdrawal reaction. If there is an addiction, as long as the will is strong, it is impossible for him to have these bad habits again.
If it was just these, Lu Yuanming would endure it, but the key is that it's more than that!
Ever since he traveled through time, people have been knocking on the door. There are black people, white people, and various Asians. They all look like they are not good people. Most of them are skinny drug addicts and some small gangsters. , the most frightening thing is that among the people who come to him, there are obviously gangsters, real gangsters.
Why can Lu Yuanming be so sure?
He swore by the few bullet holes that appeared on the door of his room, what the hell is this guy not a gangster?
Before Lu Yuanming traveled through time, he was a college graduate from an ordinary family in Country Z. How could he have interacted with any gangsters?
As an ordinary person in country Z, drugs, guns, and gangs are all too far away from him, just as far away as building a government with people online.
So Lu Yuanming was so frightened that he didn't dare to go out, and he didn't dare to respond to the people outside. After traveling through time, he relied on a few pieces of bread found in the room to survive. He drank tap water when he was thirsty, and when he was hungry... There was really no choice but to starve. After four days of this, he really couldn't hold on any longer and he had to go out!
"I found a total of six dollars and thirty-five cents. I don't know what the prices are now, but I should be able to buy some food, and then... let's take it step by step."
Lu Yuanming has too many thoughts, such as going back to Country Z, especially to Chongqing. He wants to confirm whether he still exists, whether his parents are also there, and whether he has traveled to the future or to a parallel world. He wanted to confirm all of this.
Before time travel, Lu Yuanming was a vegetable. He had a car accident during an interview shortly after graduating at the age of 23.
Since then, he has been unable to move, and cannot even twitch his eyelids. But miraculously, he is conscious and can hear the people around him talking and feel the physical presence, but he just can't make any movements. According to what the doctor told his parents and sister, his various symptoms indicated that he had become a vegetative state, and there was no guarantee whether he would be able to wake up in the future.
Lu Yuanming spent more than half a year in this kind of pain and suffering. He was trapped in the darkness, until a beam of light appeared in front of his eyes. Lu Yuanming subconsciously "ran" toward the light, and then he traveled through time. Into this Asian American body.
What's even more amazing is that he can travel back every seventy-two hours, but when he travels back, he is still trapped in the vegetative body. The situation is no different from death... No, being trapped in the darkness, in addition to being able to Hearing the surrounding sounds, that state is simply more terrifying than death!
(There are too many puzzles. Why can I travel through time? And I have traveled to the future time... In short, I will first find a way to keep this body alive, and then go back to Chongqing, country Z, to have a look!)
Lu Yuanming had long-term plans in mind, but now he had to face going out... In a city and area filled with gangs, drug criminals, robbers, and frequent shootings, it was not easy for Lu Yuanming. Less than the battlefield!
He lay on the door and listened to the movement outside. He kept checking for at least a few minutes before he carefully opened the door and slowly moved out.
Outside the door is a dilapidated apartment corridor with wooden floors that make noise when walking on it. The corridor is dimly lit. There is an electric light on each floor, and these bulbs are the oldest yellow light bulbs. I don’t know if they are old. It has not been repaired, and the lights on many floors are still flickering.
Seeing this, Lu Yuanming felt uncomfortable in his heart. This old apartment really looked like the place where those horror movies about ghosts and curses took place.
But now that he was extremely hungry, he couldn't care less about it. While there was no one in the corridor, he quickly ran towards the exit on the first floor of the apartment.
Just when Lu Yuanming ran to the door of the apartment, he suddenly felt inexplicably that someone was spying on him behind him. It was like that feeling of itching fur behind him. He subconsciously turned around to look, only to see that the corridor behind him was completely dark. When he came down, Starting from the fourth floor of the building, the lights on each floor were all dimmed. Except for the light coming from outside the apartment behind Lu Yuanming, the place he saw was pitch black and deep, like the entrance to hell.
Lu Yuanming was trembling all over. He couldn't see through the darkness, but he always felt that someone was looking at him in the darkness... maybe it wasn't a human!
Due to the instinct of survival, Lu Yuanming started to run out of the apartment. The unknown terror made his mind go blank, and he even screamed involuntarily. But just as he stepped out of the apartment, he was about to rush into the apartment. When the sun was shining, a flowerpot fell straight down from above the apartment and hit Lu Yuanming's head squarely.
With a crisp snap, Lu Yuanming immediately suffered a bloody head injury and his whole body was knocked to the ground. The huge dizziness made him almost pass out.
But I don’t know if it was because he had been hit by a car and turned into a vegetative state, so Lu Yuanming had a certain resistance to dizziness, or if he was driven by the inexplicable terror behind him. In short, he did not faint for a while, but He lay on the ground and used his fingers to move little by little toward the sunshine outside the apartment.
Lu Yuanming could see the inside of the apartment from the corner of his eyes. He seemed to see darkness coming in. The darkness in the apartment seemed to turn into some kind of liquid at this moment, spreading towards him at a rapid speed. .
Can't be touched by that darkness!
Lu Yuanming knew this instinctively. If he was touched by the darkness, he might encounter torture that was 10,000 times more terrifying than death and turning into a vegetative state!
Using his last strength, Lu Yuanming crawled towards the sun with his fingers. Although there was not even half a meter away, Lu Yuanming crawled so hard that his fingernails turned over, covered in blood, and finally, in the dark distance behind him, When he was less than one meter, his head reached into the sunlight. At this moment, he felt the warm breath spreading from the top of his head to his body, the kind of goose bumps that kept appearing, and the freezing feeling from the bottom of his heart. Disappear.
(Come alive...)
Just when Lu Yuanming was completely relieved, a window upstairs in the apartment opened, and a pair of gnarled hands held a broken TV and threw it out, hitting Lu Yuanming's head with a loud sound. There was an explosion, and Lu Yuanming's head was completely smashed.
Then... Lu Yuanming looked at his smashed body from a strange perspective. He seemed to be hanging in the air about five or six meters above the body and looking down. Lu Yuanming felt that he should be afraid, terrified, and angry. , excitement, etc., but now he has no emotions at all, not even thinking. Lu Yuanming feels that the "I" as his own existence is dissipating...
Then the next second, or without even feeling the time, Lu Yuanming was violently pulled "downward" by a majestic and huge force!
Lu Yuanming saw a huge spiral-shaped spectacle, similar to a tornado, or a typhoon in the weather. He saw it all from a higher perspective, and the core of this huge spiral storm was the earth. He was Caught in the spiral storm, it was dark, chaotic, and inexplicable. He was pulled downwards, falling an unknown distance from top to bottom.
Then Lu Yuanming saw the earth, the endless black and gray earth. There was something bigger than the stars in the distance. He couldn't see it clearly, and below him, he was falling towards a burning and broken New York City...
Lu Yuanming suddenly understood at this moment.
he died.
This is the world after human death!
