Dawn of a New Era

One o'clock at midnight.

The corridor on the second floor of the quiet hotel was pitch black.

With a faint sense of gloom.

A strange figure kept wandering in the corridor.

He was covered in blood, and his face was as pale as a dead man with a trace of bewilderment.

Where is this?

Who am I?

He seems to have no memory of everything before.

He kept walking back and forth, looking around blankly, and after a long time, he realized that he seemed to be in the corridor of the hotel.

He felt that his thinking was very slow, and he couldn't remember many things.

He was also feeling tired and weak, and he needed a good night's sleep.

He stepped forward and walked to his room, he took a gesture of opening the door, and then walked in.

In fact, his body passed through the door, as if his body had become an illusion.

The room was a double, and besides him, there was a colleague.

He suddenly remembered that he was a mechanical engineer, and this time he came to Dongning City with the company's master craftsmen because their company's machinery had problems and they came to the customer's place for maintenance.

The colleague is still not asleep, tossing and turning on the bed, seems to have insomnia.

Looking at this colleague, gradually, for some reason, a strong resentment suddenly arose in his heart.

The calm face became distorted and ferocious.

...

"Ghost!"

A sharp scream spread throughout the corridor.

Immediately afterwards, the door was pushed open with a bang: "Help, come quickly!"

Chen Shouyi was suddenly awakened by the scream in his sleep.

The Shell girl who was curled up next to her also opened a slit in her eyes in a daze from the noise, squinted at Chen Shouyi, turned over and continued to sleep.

What happened?

He hesitated, and quickly put on his clothes.

Take the phone and turn on the flashlight.

As soon as he opened the door, he keenly felt that there seemed to be an inexplicable chill in the air, as if it was blowing cold air.

But only for a moment, these cold breaths dissipated from around him.

Not far away, an old man in his fifties or sixties was limp on the ground. He seemed to be terrified, with his head in his hands, and his body shrunk desperately towards the wall.

He said something in horror, his voice was crying, and his whole body was trembling.

"Please, don't come here!"

"Xiao Zhang, there is an injustice and a debt. I am not the one who killed you. I will burn incense and kowtow to make amends when I go back."

"I didn't help you, but I have seniors and juniors, and I'm afraid too!"

In this cold night, the old man's voice was unusually permeating.

...

But what made Chen Shouyi feel strange was that he couldn't see who the other party was talking to at all, as if there was an invisible figure in front of him.

At this time, many people have secretly opened a small gap at the door, watching this side.

After a while, Xu Shi saw Chen Shouyi standing in the corridor, doing nothing. Finally, a few people boldly came out and pointed at the old man in a low voice.

"Is this person a colleague of the one who died earlier?"

"It seems that he is crazy! Ghost, how can there be such a ghost, why haven't I seen it before?"

"Maybe I did something wrong!"

There will never be a shortage of spectators at any time, and soon the corridor gradually became lively, but no one dared to approach the old man, only dared to watch from a distance.

It is a common thought of most people to believe what is there rather than what is not.

To be honest, facing such a weird thing, Chen Shouyi also felt a little creepy.

The world has been a little different since last night's mutation.

Fortunately, this kind of timidity is only a trace. After all, he has killed more than a dozen barbarians, and he can carry the corpses himself.

Courage is naturally not comparable to ordinary people.

Chen Shouyi gritted his teeth, boldly walked towards the old man, he wanted to see, what kind of ghost is this?

Fear comes from mystery. For him who has been haunting different worlds, he will have to face this kind of thing sooner or later.

And he believes that even if it is really a ghost, it is impossible for a powerful ghost to appear now that the concentration of the mysterious force field is still extremely low, let alone become a ghost soon.

"Little brother, don't go there, what if there is a ghost." Seeing that Chen Shouyi was about to walk over, a young man next to him kindly reminded him.

"It's okay. I haven't seen a ghost since I was a child. I'll go and see what's going on." Chen Shouyi said with a smile.

Saying that, regardless of other people's persuasion,

Just go forward.

As he approached, the cold air in front quickly dissipated.

He is full of qi and blood now, and he is like a blazing sun to these cold qi.

Before he walked up to the old man.

He felt slightly dazed for a moment, and the next moment, he vaguely heard a scream of resentment and despair.

Hey, it seems to be gone!

The corridor is still the original corridor, but it seems that there is less of a weird and gloomy atmosphere, and a little more popularity.

When Chen Shouyi walked over, he was still tense and his heart was racing.

Who would have thought that something easy would be the same, and the other party would fall down before exerting any force.

"Master, are you okay?"

He patted the old man who was trembling with fright. He smelled like urine, and this man had obviously peed from the scare just now.

"Don't...don't kill me!"

"Master, are you having a nightmare, ghost, what ghost is there?"

After hearing Chen Shouyi's voice, the old man raised his head tremblingly after a while, looking around nervously.

He is a little fat, with heavy eye bags on his face and unhealthy puffiness, as if he hasn't slept for several days.

...

After a burst of excitement, Chen Shouyi returned to the room.

Looking at the time, it was already half past one in the morning.

Looking at Shell Girl who was still sleeping peacefully, he felt amused by his previous nervousness.

Compared to other worlds, this kind of ghost is probably not worth mentioning at all.

He guessed that even if he didn't go there, he probably wouldn't be able to hurt anyone.

It's just that he was a little puzzled, why the old man could see it, but he and others couldn't?

For some reason, he couldn't help thinking of some rumors on the Internet that people are prone to ghosts.

Although most of them are nonsensical, there are two points that the old man is satisfied with.

For example, people who are old and weak and sick, or people who are mentally weak and often suffer from insomnia, the old man is suitable, and the ghost is directly targeting him, which is probably why he can see it.

Forget it, don't want to!

continue to sleep.

...

Nothing to say all night.

When Chen Shouyi woke up the next day, he found that the electricity hadn't come, and the signal and network were still interrupted.

With a heavy heart, he went to the bathroom and finished washing.

When I got back, I put on my clothes, put the shell girl's clothes in the briefcase, and went out.

There was still a traffic jam on the street, and the road still showed no sign of clearing after one night.

Chen Shouyi noticed that many workers were repairing the lines on the side of the road.

In addition to the police, there were also heavily armed soldiers on the street.

It gives people a dignified atmosphere, like the depression before the storm.

Chen Shouyi walked heavily with his briefcase in hand. Not long after, he came to the newspaper.

Without the Internet, without television, the only way to get outside information is through newspapers.

Newspapers and periodicals that are usually deserted are rarely lined up at this time.

Everyone is asking each other for gossip, what can they say?

What underground giant space channel interfered?

What sunspot storm?

There are even those who say the end of the world.

Taking advantage of the queue, Chen Shouyi listened to it and waited for a few minutes before buying today's newspaper.

However, after a rough review, no useful information was obtained.

The newspapers only briefly mentioned the power outage and the disconnection of the Internet, and also said that they are doing all they can to make urgent repairs to protect people's livelihood.

However, no specific deadline was mentioned, and as for the situation outside Dongning, it was not mentioned at all.

A large portion of the newspaper is talking about the sufficient supply of various materials in the city, and the waterworks have also activated emergency independent power supply to ensure water supply for residents, reminding the people not to panic or loot.
