Chapter 337 "First Appearance"

Bang!
The card disappears.

In the darkness, everything became silent.

The goblins seemed to be taken aback, and looked around one after another.

When they found that there were no accidents around them, they immediately threw themselves into various games again.

Liu Ping floated in the air and waited for a few breaths.

"Strange, why is there no response?" He said to himself.

"What is the function of this card?" Yana asked.

"It can, let-time-time-"

Liu Ping was answering, but found that his speaking speed was getting slower and slower.

Everything around became so sluggish that the sound disappeared, and even the running fairies stopped in midair.

Silently, the void gradually filled with golden quicksand.

Yellow sand filled the entire space, wrapped Liu Ping tightly, and dragged it down extremely deep.

I don't know how long it has been--

Suddenly the bottom was empty.

Liu Ping fell lightly and stood on an ancient stone platform.

He looked around.

I saw an endless void outside the stone platform, and there was only a black stone tablet on the stone platform.

There are two large characters written on the stele:

"Beginning."

Liu Ping's eyes fell on the stone tablet, and he was pondering the meaning of these two words, when suddenly, the surrounding space began to change continuously.

The boundless flood surged from the bottom of the stone platform and completely submerged the entire stone platform in an instant.

The world turned into an endless ocean abyss.

Liu Ping went to look at the stele again, only to find that the stele was completely gone.

Immediately afterwards, the stone platform also disappeared.

It was as if there was a huge force pulling him, causing him to continuously fall towards the abyss of the seabed.

keep falling.

fall.

Liu Ping didn't know how long had passed, time seemed to have become meaningless.

suddenly.

He found that in the deep sea around him, blurry things gradually appeared.

--Door.

In the sea abyss, one door after another is in a spiral shape, extending endlessly downwards.

These doors are all white, with numbers written on them:

"Real World Year 1539;"

"Real World Year 1538;"

"Real World Year 1537;"

"..."

The more you fall, the earlier the year on the white door will be seen.

I don't know when.

The force that pulled Liu Ping disappeared.

He floated quietly in the deep sea, with closed doors front, back, left, right, up and down.

"Do you want me to choose a year and enter the real world?"

Thinking to himself, Liu Ping swam to a deeper place.

——Since there is such an opportunity, then go to the first year of the real world to see how humans were born.

He dived all the way down.

I don't know how long it took, the numbers on those doors gradually became smaller, and finally stayed at "the 1000th year in the real world".

Going further, the sea abyss became completely dark black, and it was impossible to see anything clearly.

Liu Ping tried to touch the bottom of "The 1000th Year of the Real World".

He touched an iron door.

Liu Ping dived down, groped for a while against the iron gate, and finally had to give up.

——The iron door is completely sealed, and the door is entangled with dense iron chains, which cannot be opened at all.

It seems that the first 1000 years of the real world cannot be peeped and entered.

Then.

In the long river of time, which door should I enter?
You can't go in and have a look at every door.

——It’s impossible to finish watching like that.

Liu Ping was hesitating, when he suddenly remembered that he had seen some unusual doors during his dive.

With a slight movement of his figure, he floated upwards.

After swimming for a while, he crossed dozens of doors and stopped in front of one.

"The 1023st year in the real world."

I saw a circle drawn with a black pen on the door, and a line of small characters was written next to it:
"First time."

Who?
what?
What the hell was it that first came up?
Aroused by his curiosity, Liu Ping lightly pressed his hand on the doorknob.

click-

The door handle is movable, which means the door can be opened!

Liu Ping gently opened the door.

Lines of burning small characters jumped out instantly:
"Attention, you are entering the 1023th year of the real world!"

"This matter is extremely secret, so all your follower cards will be deprived of all related memories after leaving this year, otherwise you will die."

"Discover available identities."

"——This identity has been used, entering the 1023rd year!"

The turbulent sea enveloped Liu Ping and rushed him in the moment the door opened.

……

The salty sea breeze blows.

Liu Ping opened his eyes, and found that he was wearing a tattered white blouse, and was sitting and eating with several people.

"Ah Hong is crazy."

Said a boy as thin as a monkey.

Liu Ping looked at him, then glanced at the others.

These people all looked about seventeen, eighteen or nineteen years old, with tanned skin, sitting around an abandoned stone house, stewing fish in an iron pot.

"My family said, don't go near Ah Hong's house recently, the Sea God will come to take the lives of his family soon." A tall boy said.

"Pooh!"

The boy before said disdainfully, "Ah Hong fell into the sea while fishing, and the back of his head hit the bottom of the boat. I went to see Ah Hong. The wound on the back of his head is really, tsk tsk!"

"Then why does he keep yelling that there is something in the water?" The tall boy said in disbelief.

"Of course there is something in the water! They went to Nanwang Reef to catch a big fish that day. If it wasn't for the big fish underwater, Ah Hong would rush to use the harpoon?"

The skinny monkey boy turned his head, stared at Liu Ping and said, "Brother Liu, do you think so?"

"Yes." Liu Ping said.

He looked towards the door, only to see a wooden door collapsed outside, the walls inside the room had already been smoked gray, there was no furniture, only a mess all over the place.

This is an abandoned stone house.

At the seaside, such houses are more resistant to the harsh weather than wooden houses.

It's raw and it works.

But what happened during this year?
Liu Ping was lost in thought.

The teenagers who were a little scared at first relaxed.

The skinny monkey boy scooped up a piece of fish from the iron pan, put it in his own bowl, and said vaguely while chopping the rice:
"We are all brothers, and we have always said that we must be loyal——"

His eyes fell on the tall boy.

The tall boy blushed and said loudly, "Who doesn't show loyalty? I caught the fish you ate last night."

The skinny monkey boy withdrew his gaze, lowered his head and ate with gusto, and said, "Anyway, I've already visited Ah Hong, unlike you cowards."

A boy who looked to be only seven or eight years old said: "If the adults in the family refuse to let him say that Ah Hong will be fine for three days, then the ghost in the sea will spare his life. Otherwise, whoever goes to see him will be accompanied by the ghost of the sea take away."

The thin monkey boy put down the bowl and said disdainfully: "Where are there ghosts? If there were ghosts, who would dare to go fishing? You are coaxed by adults every day."

He looked at Liu Ping: "Brother Liu, what do you think?"

The teenagers all looked at Liu Ping.

Liu Ping smiled and was about to speak when he suddenly saw a person appearing at the door.

It is said that it is a person, but it is not a person.

It has a human body, but its whole body is covered with slimy fish scales, and it is dripping wet, as if it just got up from the sea.

The monster walked up behind the thin monkey boy step by step, stood still, and looked at him silently.

The teenagers didn't realize it.

The thin monkey boy twisted his neck uncomfortably.

——Seven or eight people, none of them saw that monster.

Liu Ping smiled, and said: "Stop talking about gods and gods, eat quickly, it will be dark in a while, we have to go back quickly."

The teenagers thought about it, and they all lowered their heads and finished the fish soup in their bowls.

While eating the fish, Liu Ping watched the monster from the corner of his eye.

——It looks like a former teenager, but its face, body, and limbs are all covered with fish scales.

While the boys were eating and drinking, the monster took a few steps forward, lay on the skinny monkey boy's back, and then stopped moving.

Suddenly there was a cry outside.

The boys fell silent.

The whole village seemed to come alive, making all kinds of noisy sounds.

There was an indescribable anxiety and fear in the shouts and discussions of the people.

"I gonna go see."

A short boy dropped the bowl and ran out quickly.

Soon.

He ran back with a pale face and said tremblingly, "Ah Hong is dead."

"Go home, take your own things, and go home!" Liu Ping said.

The teenagers suddenly panicked.

For a while, someone brought an iron pot, someone took a bowl, someone extinguished the firewood, and the teenagers dispersed in a hurry.

Everyone avoided the skinny monkey boy intentionally or unintentionally, and hurried back home.

Under Liu Ping's gaze, the thin monkey boy snorted coldly, held his head up, and walked towards his home.

He didn't know he had a monster on his back.

Even the adults passing by along the way did not notice anything unusual.

Liu Ping sighed, and suddenly remembered the blood-handed unknown body he met in the classroom when he first came to the real world last time.

Perhaps the so-called "first appearance" refers to the first appearance of an unknown body in the real world?

Feeling something in his heart, he turned his head and looked at the wall.

I saw lines of small characters quickly appearing on the wall:

"The real world, in the 1023rd year, on a certain day."

"On this day in history, everyone in the fishing village died."

"—You have reached this day."

Three lines of characters.

As soon as they are displayed, they disappear completely.

Liu Ping calmly thought about it for a moment.

"That skinny monkey said, Ah Hong saw something at Nanwang Reef..."

"Forget it, I'll go and have a look."

He went out, intending to go to the beach to find a fishing boat.

Unexpectedly, just after taking a few steps, Liu Ping stopped slowly.

"It's really big."

he exclaimed.

I saw a translucent giant floating on the sea in the distance.
