Las Vegat, Leah Pier, the sun shines on the golden beach, the waves roll, and a 'body' is rolled ashore by the sea. The strange thing is that there is no trace of being soaked by the water on his body.
Passersby soon spotted him and took him to the nearest hospital.
Joey's memory was still stuck on the last moment when he passed through the light door, and the dizziness made him lose consciousness.
When he woke up again, in a room filled with disinfectant, he looked at everything around him blankly, especially the ray of sunlight coming through the window.
I `m coming out? This is where?
A memory that didn't belong to him came into his mind.
Joy Creevey was born into an ordinary family in Leah Pier. Her parents died in a factory accident, leaving behind a young sister and an older brother.
He is 23 years old and graduated from the literature department of Hawkins University. He is a fan of mysterious events. Half a month ago, he participated in an expedition organized by a non-governmental organization.
I set foot on the boundless sea. Not long after I set foot on the sea, due to a heavy fog, the ship was lost on the sea. The waves overturned everything, and the sea water submerged people. The memory of the future was blurred, as if I was in a fog.
A rush of footsteps disrupted Joey's thoughts, and the door was pushed open from outside.
What came into view was a face full of worry. He was thin, his skin was sickly pale, his cheeks were slightly sunken, and he was malnourished at first glance. Her short beige hair is slightly curly at the tips, her silver-grey eyes are full of nervousness, she is small and very cute.
This 1.5 meter loli will probably cry for a long time if I slap her. Joey thought evilly.
"Joy, you know, Wilson is very worried about you. Don't go to those risky parties again!"
Wilson is the older brother, and the little girl should be the younger sister, Barbara.
Joey had no expression on his face, but he was secretly happy in his heart.
It seems pretty good to have a home!
He stared at Barbara with interest, listening to her harsh criticisms, mentally labeling this sister as dishonest.
She obviously cared about him, but she had to use her brother Wilson's mouth to express it.
What a arrogant sister.
She is obviously a little lolita, but she has to pretend to be a little adult. It must be very hard.
There are three brothers and sisters. The elder brother Wilson is 30 years old and works in a mining factory. The younger sister is 12 years old. She should be at the age of going to school, but she is tired of running around early and rents a stall in the market to sell handmade products.
The only one who went to school was Joey, and in Barbara's words:
"Wilson is taller, but his brain is full of mush. If he goes to school, he will not be able to understand arithmetic within a hundred."
For children of common people, if conditions permit, men will be given priority to go to school. Women's status is not very high.
The early death of his parents left the family very poor, and they tried their best to support Joey in school.
Children the same age as Barbara are now much taller than her, which is all caused by malnutrition.
Joey's tuition accounts for 80% of the family's expenses.
The poor are not even qualified to get sick. Joey's hospitalization this time has added a burden to the already poor family.
Joey secretly complained that the original owner was really a bit useless.
If you don't find a job after graduation and just run around with a group of lunatics who study mysterious events, you'll be fine, and your life will be ruined.
As for how he took over this body, he couldn't figure it out for a while. The most important thing right now was to stop the loss in time.
Joey then said:
"Please help me get discharged from the hospital."
Barbara lowered her head, looked at Joey on the hospital bed, and said firmly and stubbornly:
"I'm rich, really!"
As she spoke, she took out the purse in her arms, which contained scattered banknotes and coins.
According to the memory of the original owner, the currency system outside is not much different from the previous life.
The largest denomination of banknotes is also 100 yuan, followed by 50, 20, 10, 5, and 1. Coins are one yuan and five cents.
If the banknotes were not green, he would have doubted whether the one printed on them was Mao Zedong.
"I'm fine. Look, isn't this good?"
Joey stood up and spun around in a circle, ignoring his trembling legs.
The three brothers and sisters have one thing in common, that is stubbornness.
Joey was about to be discharged from the hospital, but Barbara refused to let him go, and the atmosphere became a stalemate.
Boom, boom, boom!
A knock on the door broke the silence.
Two uniformed police officers walked in, carrying standard pistols at their waists.
"Excuse me, we are the police chief of Leah, and we need your cooperation on some matters."
Joey frowned slightly, he couldn't avoid what was coming, and he motioned Barbara to get out with his eyes.
The younger of the two magistrates took out a pen and paper from his arms and prepared to record.
The older police officer spoke first:
"Joy Creevey, a graduate of the Literature Department of Hawkins University, lives at No. 9 Bauhinia Street, West Ninth District, Lea Quay"
"There is an older brother and younger sister in the family who disappeared half a month ago after attending a gathering of occult enthusiasts."
Joey didn't speak, but nodded in response from time to time.
This information is easy to find.
"You know, some mysterious rituals are not allowed by the church. In serious cases, they may harm your family. Of course, if you cooperate with us and the church will review it, you will be fine."
Is this a lie to me? Or bluffing? Please, I'm not a noob who doesn't know anything.
"I'm sorry, I think I may have forgotten part of my memory!"
As he spoke, Joey kept watching the changes in the expression of the police officer opposite him.
If the other party does not believe it, it may be handed over to the church.
He is familiar with hypnosis, and he is already very good at using gray mist to avoid it.
There was no need to worry about this. What he was worried about was that the Sheriff would not act according to common sense and would end the game by lynching him.
This is based on the fact that the other party is not an extraordinary person.
According to the external information provided by Helena, the Seven Gods do not allow the emergence of large-scale extraordinary beings, which is not conducive to rule.
The two police officers looked at each other, and the young police officer started writing:
"Like the survivors found earlier, Joey Creevey has lost his memory of the sea."
The three people talked for a long time in the ward, and it took half an hour to end.
"Thank you for your cooperation. If you think of anything later, please contact us."
"OK!"
After sending the two people away, Joey was discharged from the hospital despite Barbara's persuasion.
No. 9 Bauhinia Street, Leah Quay West District 9.
A simple two-bedroom apartment with the kitchen and bathroom next to each other.
There were two rooms, one for Joey and one for Barbara. Wilson was usually in the factory, and when he came back, he would make a bed in the living room. Although the place is small, it is well-equipped.
"I'll cook for you! There will be ribs tonight!"
It could be seen that Barbara was very happy. When she walked, she walked gently. There was a small stool under the kitchen stove. Barbara stepped on it and started washing vegetables.
What a wonderful sister! As soon as this idea came to mind, Joey smiled helplessly and secretly added: It's a pity that he has a mouth.
Should I write a story: My mute sister? Well, this idea is quite good!
Walking into his own room, there was a desk, bed, and an armchair. The rest of the room was a row of shelves filled with books.
Quite easy to learn?
Open a book at hand.
'How to make a rich woman fall in love with you'
Joey:. . .
'On the importance of being a gentleman'
Joey:. . .
'The story that the princess and the beggar have to tell'
Joey: Original owner, what are you usually thinking about?
In his mind, Barbara's figure in the kitchen just flashed involuntarily.
"It must be very hard for her. She has endured too much at the age of 12, especially her two mentally retarded brothers."
The second brother fantasizes about falling in love with a noble lady all day long.
The eldest brother is good at everything but has no brains.
In the memory of the original owner, Wilson once gave the lunch of the three of them to the dog that was stronger than them out of pity for a stray dog.
Because of a neighbor's joke, I jumped into the cold lake in the middle of winter.
Wilson did a lot of things that normal people couldn't do.
As he thought about it, a smile quietly appeared on the corner of Joey's mouth.
He pulled out the chair, sat in front of the desk, and opened his arm. There was a scale the size of a fingernail.
He stared at his arm, pondered for ten seconds, and tried to pull off the scale.
"Um?"
There was no pain as expected, and it fell off automatically with a light touch.
Under the light of the desk lamp, the scales appear transparent, covered with fine blood lines, and you can see small particles flowing in the blood lines. It seems to be alive.
In the memory of the original owner, this thing came from his tutor in university.
Freya Polly, a dignified and beautiful lady.
She loves literature and likes to study some ancient documents.
"How did an ordinary university teacher obtain an item with extraordinary properties?"
The aura emanating from the scales convinced Joey that it had extraordinary characteristics, and it was also mixed with a hint of familiarity.
"This looks like the scales of some kind of fish creature! Where have I seen it?"
"Maimaiti! Yes, I remembered it."
In the Land Abandoned by the Gods, Maimaiti once threw a creature into the gate of the abyss. It had a human body, a fish head, and the same kind of scales on its body.
"It's really troublesome!" Joey felt that he might have been involved in some troublesome events again.
Rubbing his swollen temples, he took out a yellowed title page from his arms.
A line of words quickly appeared above:
"Great Master Silver, soldier, Azrael salutes you!"
On the title page, there is a drawing of a little man saluting with attention.
The appearance of 0-013 was unexpected by Joey.
The first time he woke up in the hospital, he discovered the existence of the title page, which was attached to his chest. It was transparent and difficult for outsiders to detect.
"Isn't your master Ebon?"
From the first contact, 0-013's intimacy with him made him very uncomfortable.
Swish, brush, brush! Dense words appeared on the title page.
After watching for half a minute, Joey finally let out a sigh of relief.
According to 0-013's explanation, Azrael cannot be simply defined as a book, but as an authority or a law. The book is just a concrete state of him.
He has had many names. In the hands of Yibon, He is called Azrael Yibo.
In the hands of Death, He calls, The Book of Ebola.
Whoever has this authority has the right to name it, but they only have it, not get it.
There can be many Azrael, and books are just conceptual objects.
The reason why He is close to me may have something to do with the Sun God.
This ray of law should be separated from the body of the Sun God.
The body of the sun god fell into the endless sea and became a filthy one.
Joey thought of the endless black sea under the Grand Palace of the Round Table, as well as the crazy murmurs, which were probably the filthy ones.
Maybe He thinks of me as someone!
"Great Master Yin, why can't I feel your breath anymore?"
Sure enough, because the captain purified me of the pollution of the filthy, 0-013 noticed it.
As Mr. Hermit, how can he be manipulated by just one title page?
Joey asked in an indifferent voice:
"Why do I occupy this body?"
There is a small mirror on the desk.
In the mirror, there is a face with sharp edges, a slightly pointed chin, a high bridge of the nose, brown eyes, and slightly curly yellow hair with a hint of gold. This should be hereditary. Barbara's hair is also curly.
"No wonder he fantasizes about being taken care of by a rich woman all day long. He looks really impatient."
This is very similar to the 'Little Plum' in the previous life.
"Uh! This should be the legendary 'Little Yellow Hair'?"
Satisfied, he still missed his black hair.
A line of words appeared on the title page:
"You need a new identity and it just so happens that someone with the same name appears, it makes sense, doesn't it!"
In a sense, this makes sense.
Just like the body in Senegal.
The spiritual vision belonging to the extraordinary still exists, which means that he is still Sequence 8, a transporter.
"Could it be that in the end, extraordinary beings will take the path of leaving the body?"
Outside the door, Barbara's voice sounded, accompanied by a rich tenor.
Put the title page of 0-013 into a book.
There are some things that he hasn't figured out yet, and he is not ready to put 0-013 above the gray fog yet.
As for the scale, it was put in the wallet, although there were only a few steel coins in it.
When I opened the door, I heard Wilson's loud voice:
"Joy, look what I brought back for you. It's true that Barbara didn't let me go home during the holidays last week!"
A bear hug greeted me.
Joey glanced at Barbara subtly.
She lowered her eyes to avoid looking at Joey.
"What a considerate and good sister!" Joey sighed inwardly.
Obviously, Wilson was not allowed to go home because he was afraid that he would find out that Joey was missing.
Half a month is neither long nor short.
It's hard to imagine the suffering she faced in that situation.
On the one hand, he wanted to conceal Joey's affairs, and on the other hand, he wanted to deceive Wilson.
After all, she is just a 12-year-old child.
Wilson was so tall that Joey could only reach his chest.
He stretched out his hand and pulled Barbara into his arms, and the three brothers and sisters hugged each other.
Barbara's head was lowered and her shoulders were shaking slightly.
He muttered:
"It stinks so bad. The smell of sweat made me cry."
