My name is Kaxiu, and I am dying...
Today is June 3, 156 in the Red Lebanese Federation calendar, and it is the 25th year since I came to this alien world. Having just graduated from Jersey University, I participated in an archaeological operation for the first time, and the location was a steep mountain about 20 kilometers away from the northern suburbs of Fengnan City.
The operation was led by the city government, with the cooperation of the University of Jersey's Department of Archaeology and Huolu Antiques. Both sides dispatched a 10-member archaeological team, which arrived in the Camorra Mountains at noon.
The archaeological operation went very smoothly, and the team soon entered the ruins to explore. There were architectural styles and decorations from the Karenka period, broken murals, and some ancient documents. Just as everyone was fully engaged in the archaeological work, an accident occurred.
Three antiques specialists from Huolu Antiques Company suddenly pulled out their guns and shot! Their mentor, a senior brother, and a senior sister died one after another. The remaining four people resisted, and although they barely killed an antiques specialist, only one of the four survived in the end.
And this person is also facing a situation where he is sure to die.
The memory flashed back and Kashu took a shuddering breath.
Click, the black muzzle of the gun was against his head.
"Run? Run again!!!" The man in the red and black antiques specialist uniform had an increasingly ferocious expression on his face.
He took several steps forward with the pistol pressed against Kaxiu's head.
In the dim and narrow rectangular passage, Kaxiu retreated step by step, his boots making clicking sounds on the gravel.
Boom! A severely weathered pillar at the back collapsed with a loud bang. Kaxiu, who was leaning against the broken stone pillar, stumbled backwards in embarrassment.
He groaned and glanced at his right hand. The ivory pendant left by his senior brother pierced his skin, and there was blood on his palm.
Kaxiu now only felt dry mouth and bitter taste in his mouth.
I'm afraid that this time, all seven people from the Archaeology Department of Jersey University will die here. I, a time traveler who has been reincarnated for 25 years, have done nothing important and am about to be reincarnated again.
Snap! A black boot stepped on his chest.
The man kept the gun pointed at Kasu's head.
The sound of footsteps was heard in the passage again, and another specialist from the Fire Deer Antiques Company also arrived, both holding pistols.
"Why don't you just fight? You'd better die with dignity."
As soon as this thought flashed through Kaxiu's mind, he suddenly found that the bitter taste in his mouth was getting stronger and stronger. After a moment, he realized that the bitter feeling was not coming from his mouth.
Instead, it came from the bleeding wound on his right hand.
The next second, Kaxiu's entire arm felt numb and bitter. Streams of cold air suddenly gushed out from the ivory pendant, swimming in his hand like a fish.
The cold feeling spread from my arms to my whole body in an instant.
Kaxiu's whole body began to tremble uncontrollably.
"Haha, look at you! Weren't you very brave when you were with your fellow apprentices just now? Why are you so scared now?"
The man crushed it with the sole of his shoe, with great force.
Kaxiu didn't say anything, but just clenched his right hand tightly.
"What? Are you scared to the point of peeing your pants?"
The man sneered and mocked.
"Don't waste time talking to him, William, just kill him. We don't have time to waste here..." Another commissioner came over.
"I know. I'll send him to see Grand Duke Hongli right away."
The man named William adjusted the muzzle of his gun slightly.
"Goodbye, you who live in the ivory tower..." His voice suddenly stopped, as if the whole world had been paused.
Kaxiu suddenly looked around. The dim passage, the broken murals, and the two gunmen suddenly became blurred. It was like looking at the world through a layer of frosted glass, even the turbid and smelly air was filtered out. He inevitably fell into emptiness.
The whole world was spinning, changing silently and vaguely. The air was surging, the earth was shaking, the dome was rising, and Kashu's brain was shaking wildly.
BANG!!!
The boy's head hit the wall hard.
"Damn!" He couldn't help but curse in pain.
"Levi, you had a nightmare again?" A tired voice came from the side: "Go to bed early, you still have to train tomorrow..."
"Levi? Training? What?"
Kaxiu climbed up in a daze. In front of him was a narrow gray stone house. There was a window next to it, and the thin moonlight could shine in. There was only a table and a chair in the house, and the largest area was occupied by two very wide beds.
There were three teenagers crammed onto each bed.
The bed he was on was close to the window, and there was a fat boy sleeping next to him. It was the fat boy who was mumbling just now. Kaxiu stared at his tender hands, and was at a loss for a moment.
In the midst of his chaotic thoughts, he suddenly noticed.
Above the viewing angle, a strange symbol was suspended in mid-air, with a long scale similar to a thermometer next to it.
Kaxiu's heart trembled, and he reached out his hand and grabbed a handful.
"Only I can see it! Is it a cheat?"
Suddenly, a flood of information flooded into my mind.
Ten minutes later, Kaxiu suddenly opened his eyes.
He also understood the function and principle of the plug-in that was released 25 years late. Collect legendary antiques and go back to the mysterious era.
Antiques with legends behind them and strong obsessions of their owners can be called legendary antiques. Kaxiu can absorb the obsession energy of legendary antiques, replace the antique owner, and return to the time that he remembers most.
This unforgettable time can be filled with joy, hatred, sadness, or regret, but it must be strong enough.
In fact, most obsessions are hatred and regret.
Or negative emotions like sadness.
What Kaxiu has to do is to eliminate the original owner's obsession, so that he can exist for a period of time. During this period of time, everything Kaxiu has learned and practiced can be brought back to reality. If he fails, he will have nothing.
Taking a deep breath, he looked forward.
If you look closely, you will find that the strange symbol is actually a simple pattern of an ivory pendant. Kaxiu absorbed the obsession energy in the pendant and activated his ability at the critical moment.
The scale next to the pendant symbol represents the time.
Now, what he was experiencing was the first unforgettable experience of the pendant's owner, Levi, and also his first obsession.
Kaxiu's mind moved, and the pendant symbol instantly unfolded.
Lightning flashing across the sky, a damp rainy night, a girl's scream, and a cowardly boy shivering in the corner.
This is a sad story. The boy and his sister were selected to join the youth training camp of a martial arts school called Feng Xiang Men. On her way to the toilet at night, the sister was blocked by three drunken rogue students and her clothes were almost stripped off.
The boy heard the sister screaming for help and saw it from the window, but he was too cowardly to move forward and hid in the corner.
The incident ended only when the other students were awakened.
The news spread quickly throughout the youth training camp. Women of that era were relatively conservative. The boy's sister was quickly pointed at, but no one cared that she was the victim.
A few days later, news came from the boy's hometown that his mother had died unexpectedly. Under the double blow, his sister, who was already under great psychological pressure, committed suicide. This became Levi's regretful obsession.
Why did you hide cowardly in the corner on that rainy night
Why don’t you dare rush out and beat up those hooligans
Why didn’t you ever think of comforting your sister afterwards
Was it weakness? Was it fear? Was it the strange and disgusting self-esteem of a teenager? Perhaps it was all of them...
Levi wanted to make amends, but it was too late. He comforted himself again and again, but found that even he could not forgive the cowardly boy. And this became his obsession.
"is that so?"
Kashu muttered to himself after opening his eyes again.
Rumble... There was a burst of thunder in the clouds in the sky.
Kaxiu looked out the window suddenly. He didn't know when it started to rain, and the hazy raindrops kept falling down.
"Ah! Help... Ugh..."
Amid the sound of rain, one or two screams of surprise from a young girl could be heard faintly.
"Shit, is it today?!"
Kaxiu turned over and rushed out barefoot.
