Covered in wounds, Li Chengfeng waited until everyone had left before collecting the empty bottles from the school, skillfully removing the caps, flattening them, and putting them in a bag before heading home.

"Mom, I'm back!" Li Chengfeng pushed open the door to his somewhat shabby home and saw a half-finished bamboo craft lying to one side. The once tidy room was now a complete mess, and his mother, whose eyes were a little white, was cleaning up bit by bit.

"That person came back!" Li Chengfeng clenched his fists, threw his schoolbag and empty water bottle aside, and rushed over to help. "Mom, how many times have I told you, you shouldn't have opened the door for him."

"That's my own fault, I'll suffer the consequences myself, it's just that you've suffered." She was clearly only middle-aged, but her hair was completely white, and you could only notice it when she walked. Her legs were a little lame, and the fingers on one hand were claw-like.

"Study hard and be good. How was your study today?" the woman said with a sigh.

"Everything's fine!" Li Chengfeng said against his will.

"That's good, that's good!" The woman was overjoyed, as if everything in her life revolved around her child's well-being.

"Don't argue with your classmates. Mom made mistakes when she was young and can't give you anything. Just study hard and go do your homework. Mom will do these things!" the woman said with a smile, then continued to tidy up the things that had been rummaged through.

This is Li Chengfeng's family situation. If life is a game, then Li Chengfeng was dealt an extremely bad hand. His parents were human traffickers in their early years. His father was the main culprit, and his mother was an accomplice. Later, his father was arrested and imprisoned, and his mother was brutally beaten by those who had lost their children. Her leg was crippled, her hand was crushed and broken, and something was splashed into her eyes, leaving her blind.

After my father got out of prison, he hung out with the bad influences he had there, became addicted to drugs and gambling, and completely ruined his life. He didn't care about the family's situation at all; when he had money, he would go out and party, and when he didn't have money, he would come back and rob them.

The mother did repent and reform, making some handicrafts every day to earn some money. However, her physical condition was such that she often said that Li Chengfeng should study hard. According to her, after Li Chengfeng graduated, he should cut off contact with her and not have anything to do with her, a sinner.

Because of his parents, no one wanted to play with Li Chengfeng when he was young. He never dared to cause trouble for his family. Sometimes he wondered if the suffering he was going through was because of his parents' sins, but he could never feel any resentment when he looked at his mother.

"Coward, do you think you meet your mother's expectations looking like this?" Shadow B said disdainfully, "So what if you got the worst hand? As long as you learn how to cheat, reaching the pinnacle of life is no problem!"

"Dude, wanna use cheats?"

Lu Li looked at Miss Bao in front of him, waiting for her last question. His attention seemed to be truly drawn to that final question, and then he felt something being activated.

Lu Li was slow to react and sensed the change in space. Although he was still in the same interview room and the same three people were still opposite him, he found himself in another space.

Leaning slightly back, a bullet grazed past him, piercing the wall on the other side and turning it into a spiderweb pattern. The three interviewers opposite him also rushed towards Lu Li carrying various items, their speed exceeding the limits of normal people.

"Is this the world formed by that barrier? Although it still has that extraordinary sealing, is there a unique power here?" Lu Li looked at the three interviewers rushing over, not paying much attention to their attack, but instead began to study them carefully.

"What terrifying power!" Lu Li rushed towards the window next to him, broke through the window and jumped out, as if the height of the tenth floor did not exist. He landed on a car, smashed through it, and then pushed open the car door and ran outside. The three people behind him also chased after him, as if there was a force that prevented them from being harmed.

"Lu Li, a native of Leping City Jing Province, is a member of the City of Sound the Emergency Non-Standing Group of the Countermeasure Bureau. He possesses time manipulation abilities and disappeared during the Spatial Maze Lock incident. As a member of the Countermeasure Bureau, do you intend to betray the organization?" Miss Bao said coldly from behind, but the black sword in her hand slashed mercilessly towards Lu Li.

"You're treating me like I've betrayed the organization!" Lu Li didn't deny it, continuing to dodge the attacks from the three people.

The opponent's attacks were unexpectedly powerful. For example, when Miss Bao swung her sword, it was enhanced by a unique power that amplified the opponent's strength, while Lu Li, the target, was constantly suppressed by that power.

The three men targeted Lu Li, reducing his strength to the minimum. The enemy continued their attacks, and snipers occasionally sniped from outside.

"So that's how it is. This world is the Countermeasure Bureau's biggest backup plan?" Lu Li suddenly understood. Of course, there were still many questions. For example, the barrier to this world was something that the Countermeasure Bureau, or even all of humanity in the main world, couldn't possibly have erected. So who helped humanity build this world?

"You have nowhere to run!" Miss Bao plunged a black sword directly into Lu Li 'Lu Li body, and a force enveloped him, rendering him unable to move. Then she said to the other two, "He has been exposed to the Spatial Maze Lock; be careful he may have been corrupted."

The Spatial Maze Lock likely refers to Doros. The people in the Countermeasure Bureau are certainly aware of his name, but for secrecy, they usually use a pronoun.

But when Miss Bao looked at Lu Li, she found that he was starting to dissipate. Just as she was about to say something, nothing was left, and everything was over.

Lu Li opened his eyes. Sure enough, these guys from the Countermeasure Bureau had been operating in this world for quite a while. If he had been caught by accident, it would have been really difficult. Luckily, he had saved his game before going in.

[World Game Save: Although named a save file, it actually uses the current world to create a short-term future world. You can load the save at any time to end the future world, or wait for the timer to expire and the save will load automatically.]

"It seems we still need to stir things up and uncover the truth of this world." Lu Li turned and left; the matter required further consideration.

"No, I'll graduate and become an adult in six months. Then I can go to work and support my family." Li Chengfeng looked at the guy in his mind who called himself the strongest killing system spirit, and did not choose the other party's so-called cheat.

"Six months? I don't think you can make it," Shadow B shook his head and said. "How about this, let's make a bet. Within a week, you'll be unable to hold on and beg me for help. At that time, you'll do whatever I say, okay?"

"I will not kill anyone!" Li Chengfeng said firmly.
