The Yu Hui of the setting sun shone on the slightly old streets, bathing everything in a light orange-red hue.
The Shadow of a young man and a young woman stretched long ahead.
The girl was holding a cup of milk tea and giving the boy next to her a sweet smile. The two were talking quietly, and the scene looked very beautiful.
Ling Yi followed behind them, not because Ling Yi was deliberately tailing them, but because his home was in this direction and he was going the same way as the two people in front of him.
The boy's name is Guan Tai, and the girl's name is Yin Youyou. They are both Ling Yi's classmates and attend the Mingshan Town No. 2 High School. Ling Yi's relationship with them is very ordinary, or rather, Ling Yi's relationship with everyone in the class is very ordinary.
They belong to the kind of people who are often forgotten, the kind who are forgotten once they graduate, and whose names are not even remembered.
Just then, a loud rumbling sound suddenly came from afar, followed by two figures falling from the sky one after the other.
One of the figures was an elderly man with Whitebeard wearing a suit, holding a Greatsword that was disproportionate to his size.
The other was a young, burly man carrying a... cement utility pole on his shoulder.
The burly man lifted the utility pole and threw it at the old man like a Throwing, but the old man was prepared and easily dodged it.
He avoided it, but... some people didn't.
The telephone pole flew straight towards Guan Tai and Yin Youyou with a Air Breaking sound, its terrifying force instantly piercing through Yin Youyou's body and pinning her to the wall behind her.
A splash of blood landed on Guan Tai's dazed face. He mechanically turned his neck to look at Yin Youyou and cried out in terror. Perhaps because of his stiff muscles, Ling Yi did not hear what Guan Tai shouted.
He stumbled to Yin Youyou's side. At that moment, Yin Youyou's expression was angry and painful, her originally beautiful face slightly distorted.
Why... do superhumans exist in this world?
" Guan Tai, actually... I like you too!"
After saying these last two sentences, Yin Youyou suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood and fell silent.
But her eyes remained open, fixed on the two superhumans still Combat ahead, as if trying to memorize their faces completely.
"Ah, ah, ah!" Guan Tai no longer knew how to express his pain and anger in words, he just Howl wildly.
Then, he picked up Shitou from the ground and started throwing Shitou at the two superhumans Combat, shouting, "Die! Die! Die!"
At the same time, Guan Tai stumbled and rushed towards the two of them, seemingly wanting to fight them to the death.
The two who had been fighting suddenly stopped and looked in the direction of Yin Youyou's corpse with very solemn expressions.
"We haven't met today, understand?" the old man said, his voice trembling slightly.
"We've never met before, one person each, kill them all," the burly man said.
The old man was about to nod when he suddenly looked up at the sky, his expression changed drastically, and he shouted, "Today, you've got me killed! See you at the Illusion City Arena!"
After saying that, the old man turned and ran, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
The burly man's face also looked extremely grim, and he ran off in another direction.
They had barely left when a long-haired girl in silver-white armor descended from the sky and crashed to the ground with a loud thud.
She glanced at Guan Tai and Ling Yi, then at Yin Youyou's corpse, before accelerating and chasing after the burly man.
"Superhumans, superhumans, superhumans all deserve to die, they all deserve to die!" Guan Tai knelt on the ground, roaring hysterically.
Ling Yi frowned, sighed, and then dialed the police...
Around 8 p. m., Ling Yi finally returned home.
Sitting cross-legged on the sofa, Ling Yi remained silent.
This is a world overflowing with superhumans. Of the nearly 20 billion people in the world, almost one- First Capital superhumans.
It seems that this world is extremely prone to producing superhumans.
Sometimes, even a sneeze can inexplicably grant superpowers.
Once someone becomes a superhuman, a green, gem-like disc will appear on the back of their left hand; people call it the Superpower Crystal.
This crystal is indestructible, can be hidden, and will automatically drop upon death.
If an ordinary person obtains Superpower Crystal, they can automatically acquire the superpowers of the Fangsheng, while other superpowered individuals can enhance their own power through the Superpower Crystal.
This inevitably leads to frequent killings among those with Ability User.
When the strong encounter the weak, the weak are almost certain to die.
The parents of the original body that Ling Yi replaced were also superhumans, but they disappeared without a trace after one of their outings.
The result is self-evident.
So many years have passed, and the original owner of this body has developed severe depression.
Ling Yi looked up at the rope hanging from the rafters; he was preparing to end his life.
However, the predecessor's memories did not contain much information about Ability User.
The information he knew about superhumans was basically common knowledge among ordinary people.
World: "The Ability Recycler, Public Enemy!"
Traversal Mode: Random Replacement, Complete Replacement.
Seal: Completely sealed...
Aura: Passive Erasure Halo; it can remove any aura that is visible.
This is still Ling Yi's blind-choice aura. Although the description of this passive aura is simple, it is definitely a very dangerous ability. If not handled properly, it could destroy the world.
This is also the only one among all the halos Ling Yi Ling Yi used that he feels is dangerous.
Ling Yi recalled the Combat between the two superhumans and, combining it with the original owner's memories, drew several conclusions.
Superhumans cannot Combat in front of ordinary people indiscriminately, and at the very least, they cannot harm ordinary people at will.
Otherwise, the burly man wouldn't have said he wanted to silence her; clearly, he didn't want anyone to know about Yin Youyou's death.
Secondly, the government has an organization of superhumans to maintain order. For example, the beautiful woman in silver armor who suddenly appeared is very likely an official.
Third, there's the Illusion City the old man mentioned; that should be the world that belongs to superhumans.
Ling Yi looked up at the rope on the ceiling, waved his hand, and the rope vanished into Void.
Then she slowly closed her eyes.
But the image of Yin Youyou's twisted expression before her death kept replaying in my mind, especially her unseeing eyes—unresolved, filled with resentment, anger, hatred, and pain...
The next day, Ling Yi arrived at school as usual and happened to see Guan Tai leaving with his schoolbag on his back at the classroom door.
"I'm sorry, I wasn't of much help at the time," Ling Yi said.
"It's not your fault, it's all those superhumans' fault. I'm leaving school."
"Well, good luck!" Ling Yi didn't say much, as the two of them didn't have a very close relationship to begin with.
Guan Tai nodded, and the two brushed past each other.
The entire morning was spent in boring and tedious classes.
Ling Yi doesn't know what to do now, or rather, what kind of place he should place himself in this world.
However, Ling Yi wasn't in a hurry. He knew the author would definitely arrange the plot for him, so he just had to wait and decide how to choose after the plot unfolded.
Sure enough, at noon after school, as soon as Ling Yi stepped out of the school gate, he saw a boy and a girl walking towards him.
The man wore a black shirt and trench coat, had a buzz cut, and wore sunglasses. He was expressionless, but a faint red glint flashed in his eyes behind the sunglasses.
The woman dressed more casually, in a T-shirt and jeans, with a bob haircut and delicate features, looking more like a friendly older sister next door, giving off a very comfortable vibe.
The woman looked at the photo on her phone, nodded, and asked, "Your name is Ling Yi?"
After seeing Ling Yi nod, the Human Dao, "Come with us."
"Where to?" Ling Yi asked, frowning.
" Illusion City!"
Upon hearing the words "Illusion City, "Ling Yi was somewhat puzzled. Logically speaking, he was just an ordinary person, so why would these superhumans take him to Illusion City?
Or is it because of... the original owner's parents?
The man with the buzz cut shoved Ling Yi from behind, seemingly impatient, and said coldly, "Get in the car, don't ask any more questions."
Ling Yi didn't say much and silently got into a black minivan.
There were four other people in the car, but they were all wearing black hoods.
Both of them had bloodstains on them, clearly indicating that they had been punished earlier.
"Don't speak, or I won't hesitate to crush you to death beforehand," the man with the buzz cut warned, then looked at Ling Yi.
Ling Yi knowingly picked up the hood in front of him and put it on.
"Bang!" The car door slammed shut, and then the car lurched and drove off.
Although the man with the buzz cut only said two sentences, he still revealed some information.
The word "early" suggests that this city tour is unlikely to be pleasant; they seem to be "doomed."
The car didn't travel for long; after about ten minutes, it turned a few corners and started going downhill.
About half an hour later, the car finally stopped.
"Squeak, bang!"
The car door was pulled open, Ling Yi heard the buzz-cut man's voice again.
"Get off!"
Because Ling Yi was the last to board the bus, he is now the first to get off.
Ling Yi groped for the car door, got out of the car, and then heard the woman talking to someone.
"This one is the last one from the first round, the other four are from the second round, you can take them."
"Yes!"
Then came the sound of footsteps fading away.
A few minutes later, the woman said again, "Okay, you can take off the hood now."
Ling Yi did as instructed, removing the hood and tossing it aside.
What comes into view is a spacious underground hall, with more than a dozen exits leading in different directions around the hall.
The woman smiled and said to Ling Yi, "Welcome to Illusion City..."
