A Haphazard Transmigration

(PS: Because the protagonist had physically transmigrated, the investigations of other civilizations in the Super Seminary Universe were useless against him. This was a transmigration bug inherent to transmigrators from the Ancestral Star. He had no dark-plane information whatsoever and could not be recorded at all. As for reading his memories, that was completely impossible.)

(The protagonist had just arrived and was truly an "ordinary person." The cheat Earth Mother had arranged for him would appear later, so don't worry about him being exposed, fellow Yans.)

(Brain storage area)

Some parallel world.

Some Earth.

Some southern region, Shudu.

Some unnamed residential complex.

"Those bound by sorrow shall be clad in flames. The fallen shall not be forgiven. I am both the guiding lighthouse and the cleansing spring.

"With blade in hand, I shall judge all in every direction!!!"

Look closely. This man was the protagonist. His name was Xiao... ah, damn it, Long Qian!!!

At that moment, our little pig protagonist was scrolling through Douyin, listening to music, and playing Genshin Impact on his computer. He did both without interfering with either.

The voice line that suddenly came up made his body tremble, and his gaze unconsciously shifted to his phone. He also unconsciously shouted out loud.

"Ionia shall never fall! It's decided, I'm playing a round of LOL. I'm playing Kayle."

"League of Legends, launch!!"

Having practiced Kayle for two and a half years, he was fired up by that sudden voice line.

If he didn't play a few matches, he would be letting himself down.

Long Qian quickly finished his Genshin daily tasks, hurriedly exited the game, and began his journey of conquest.

"Don't surrender, guys, don't surrender! Wait until I hit level sixteen, wait until I hit level sixteen."

"I can still farm up! Wait for me, wait for me! Fuck, surrender already!!!"

"Fuck, what a scam. Lost again. My Diamond promotion match!"

Still cursing, he started another match. If he didn't win this one, he swore he wasn't human.

As a player from the highest-quality LOL server, his hand speed was naturally pretty good.

"Brothers, don't surrender. Trust me, I'll carry."

"What do you mean Kayle is weak? I'm level sixteen now. Who said I'm weak? Step forward."

"Pentakill, my pentakill! Let me have it, I can make a play!!!"

"I am Kayle! With blade in hand, I shall judge all in every direction!!!"

His Kayle had reached level sixteen. Now he could speak loudly.

He got beaten like a dog early game, then became everyone's daddy in the late game.

"Rumble!!!"

Just as Long Qian was about to make his move, a massive explosion suddenly sounded outside the window.

The violent shaking of the room startled him. He immediately said to his teammates over voice chat, "My house seems to be shaking. Whatever, I'm getting a pentakill. Don't steal my kills."

Another violent explosion rang out, and his house instantly lost power. Only then did he finally turn his attention outside.

The deafening explosions outside and the roar of fighter jets left him frozen on the spot. He had no idea what to do. His mind went blank, and he couldn't move his feet.

"Holy shit, they're attacking us! Did World War Three break out???"

Then he shook his head and dismissed the thought.

This was Huaxia's inland region, the Land of Abundance. If artillery shells could land here, he could directly call the countries firing them Daddy.

Were they itching to die? Daring to fire shells at one of the UN's five permanent members—weren't they asking to be ground to dust?

Even America wouldn't dare fire shells or missiles at Huaxia, much less some small Southeast Asian countries.

"Doesn't sound like a satellite crash. Could it be some Indian missile???"

This was Shudu's outskirts, surrounded by mountains and water. Terrorists couldn't possibly show up here.

As everyone knew, whenever India launched a missile, the world's defense systems had to stay alert. Radar couldn't find it at all—not because it hit accurately, but because even they didn't know where it would land!!!

Having regained his senses, he shook his head again, took a sip of ice water, and calmed himself down.

To be honest, his mind was still a little muddled. But the shaking room suddenly made him realize what was happening, and he cursed, "Damn it, I'm such an idiot. This is a fucking earthquake, damn it!"

With such a huge commotion, after ruling out all the impossible possibilities, it was one hundred percent an earthquake.

He hastily got dressed, stuffed several limited-edition figurines into his backpack, grabbed his ID, wallet, and phone, then rushed straight out of the villa.

Just as he was about to leave the villa, space twisted and trembled strangely. A daylight-bright glow illuminated all of Shudu before vanishing. Along with it disappeared Long Qian and his villa.

The moment Long Qian rushed out of the villa, a blue, sinister energy beam shot straight toward him. A violent explosion erupted behind him, and his villa instantly evaporated without leaving even a trace behind. No, even its foundation had been uprooted completely.

The massive heatwave from the explosion flung Long Qian away, and he crashed heavily into the nearby grass.

The sudden tumble left him dizzy and disoriented, his mind unable to think clearly.

When he finally struggled to climb up from the grass and saw the ruins before him, he fell to his knees and burst into tears.

"Fuck your mother, fuck! Fucking hell! Damn your ancestors! That was my villa! My one million! I bought that house with a loan! I haven't even finished paying the mortgage yet! Aahhh?!"

If it had been a rental, he could have said it didn't matter. But he had bought this place himself. To buy it, he had scrimped and saved, until his parents couldn't bear watching any longer and gave him nearly a million for the down payment. Then he had borrowed over another million himself. He had been paying it off for less than a month!

It hurt. It hurt so much. It was agony straight to the heart.

As far as he knew, the government didn't compensate people for earthquakes. Natural disasters weren't covered by compensation.

Right, man-made disaster. This had to be a man-made disaster. Those damn Indians—it had to be one of their inaccurate missiles.

Since it was nighttime and the smoke was too thick, he naturally had no idea what was causing this.

"Brat, get down! Are you trying to die?"

Just as Long Qian knelt there sobbing uncontrollably, a gentle female voice pulled him aside.

He was really crying. His heart truly hurt.

Especially when he thought about how he had only paid the mortgage for one month, it hurt even more.

His father and mother had spent their lifelong savings on helping him buy this house. He was such a sinner.

Qi Lin, standing beside him, was also rather confused. She had no idea why a small building had suddenly appeared out of thin air in front of her. As a patrol officer in Feiliu District, she had traveled this road to the airport hundreds of times, if not eight hundred. She didn't remember there being any building here.

What was more, this was a ring road. It was even less likely for a building to be here. Yet the building had appeared and disappeared in the blink of an eye, as though it had never existed at all.

However, seeing the young man's face, and since they were both Huaxia people—and it was a self-built home—she figured she must have remembered wrong. There should have been a building here.

An illegal structure, perhaps? Maybe it simply hadn't been relocated yet. Hadn't several households nearby been relocated last year?

Still, she didn't think too deeply about it. The appearance of aliens had probably frightened her so badly that her memory had become confused.

"What's going on? Did World War Three break out???"

After being suddenly pulled aside and dodging the bombardment, Long Qian finally snapped out of his grief over losing his house. But when he saw armored vehicle wreckage strewn across the ground, police cars burning with flames, and fallen soldiers searching for cover, he felt utterly terrible.

His brain instantly crashed.

Were there really insane terrorists in this world who dared challenge Huaxia's authority and openly attack inland Shudu?

They really were taking arsenic on their birthday, tired of living.

But as he lay on the ground, his face was covered in blood. The sight made him nauseous, and he could barely breathe.

Sure, he had seen all kinds of bloody scenes in games, but this was fucking real life.

He was just an ordinary person, an ordinary working stiff. Where had he ever seen anything like this?

As someone who had grown up protected by his powerful motherland, he had never experienced such a battle.

He had watched plenty of TV dramas and movies, but those were acted out. Online, he struck hard; in real life, he cowered meekly. This was exactly that kind of situation.

He couldn't accept the reality of an actual battlefield just yet.

"Stay down for now. When I tell you to run, run. Run toward the city with everything you've got, understand? Don't look back."

Qi Lin could feel Long Qian's whole body trembling, but she understood. She had undergone military training and still felt afraid, let alone an ordinary young man like him.

"An alien invasion? Transformers? Optimus Prime, or...?"

At last, using the light from the missiles, Long Qian saw the blue-and-white mech in the sky some distance away. It seemed to be, perhaps, maybe several stories tall.

"I'm dreaming. Yeah, I have to be dreaming. Hahaha, aliens? How could that possibly be real?"

He still believed he was dreaming, so he slapped himself several times to wake himself up.

But the pain in his face forced him to accept reality. That only made him collapse even further.

He was only twenty-five. He had only just begun to enjoy life. Why were there aliens in this world???

A real alien invasion. Real soldiers risking everything to defend their homes and country.

All of it was too real, so real that it perfectly revealed how human lives were treated like grass in war.

"Y-you're... Qi... Qi..."

By the light, Long Qian finally saw that the person who had pulled him aside was a police officer, a beautiful female officer. But her face seemed familiar, though he couldn't remember where he had seen it.

"You know me???"

Qi Lin looked equally puzzled. She considered herself to have an excellent memory, but there was no useful information whatsoever about the man before her in her memories. She hadn't even seen him once before.

"Qi... Qi Lin!!!"

Long Qian finally stammered out those two words. Of course, he still hadn't remembered; the name had merely come out as a reflex.

"I remember now. Qi Lin, Shenhe Sniper Qi Lin. You really do look alike, even your badge is the same."

Only after Long Qian smacked his head hard did he remember that the policewoman before him resembled a female character from a Chinese animated series. But too much time had passed, so he could only recall a vague impression and roughly remember her face.
