The fog was everywhere. Zhang Jue returned to his world for the 4th ti. The ti was late afternoon. Zhang Jue stepped on the path between the fields and found a village ahead. He walked forward quickly, praying that he would find a computer in his heart.
He rembered that the last ti he ca back, he had contacted a user called "Yue Qingcheng". When he asked what had happened here, that person only replied.
"Talk to you later. Be safe. It's coming."
Whatever that is and whether it was the culprit that had turned his world into this situation, it had been nagging Zhang Jue for a long ti. Before the sun had fully set, Zhang Jue finally arrived at the outskirts of the village. Looking at the familiar propaganda slogan on the fence at the village entrance, Zhang Jue burst into tears.
The slogan had three lines.
The first line: Family planning is good, and the governnt is here to help you with your old age!
The second line: You can't rely on the governnt for your old age!
The third line: Comrades, the two-child policy is the solution!
Many attempts later, he went back to a Chinese region. Zhang Jue found a ho that looked fairly well-off and walked inside without wasting more ti. By the ti Zhang Jue was in that area, China was developing rapidly, and the developnt rate of technology was quite fast.
Even in rural areas, almost every ho had one as long as it wasn't particularly poor. So, he easily found one. The owner of the computer seed to be a teacher, and Zhang Jue saw that there were many prepared lessons on the desktop of the computer.
The man and the woman sat at the table, their eyes staring straight at each other. But Zhang Jue was used to the atmosphere and wasn't affected by them at all. Zhang Jue clicked on the calendar, and the ti displayed was March 15, 2221.
Although he had crossed over to the SCP world more than a year ago, only about a month had passed here. As usual, Zhang Jue opened the forum and entered his account. Then he scrolled through the post that he had posted before. Compared to last ti, there were surprisingly two more replies.
"Well, 'it' is gone. Who are you anyway?"
The posters were all that'd called Yue Qingcheng.
"Hiss..." Zhang Jue sipped his teeth.
This Yue Qingcheng was very alert. He hadn't even answered his question, but he asked himself to give his first na first.
Zhang Jue couldn't help but curse in his heart, "Even if I told you, how else can you find ?
These two words also reveal so other information. The so-called 'it' seems to be a living thing. Zhang Jue looked at the ti of his reply post. It was a day after his last post. In other words, this Yue Qingcheng had spent a whole day in order to avoid that 'it'.
The clues were limited, and he could only analyze them so far. He replied to the post with his own account.
"What is this 'it' you speak of? I'm a normal person, not soone who knows nor sent them."
"Where are you? How do I contact you?"
After posting these two, Zhang Jue rembered that he had already changed his gender to female in his last posting.
So, he posted another one: "Oh, I'm so scared."
After that, all Zhang Jue could do was wait. Whenever this ti cos, Zhang Jue would hate to awake. According to his previous experience, excluding being woken up, he could usually stay in this world for a few hours. To say it was not long and to say it was not short is very diabolical.
Because he is not sure sotis, that person's online schedule is unknown, and even if they do, they will not necessarily be on the forum. After all, a month has passed since the last ti the two people talked.
Suppose the opposite side is himself and hasn't sent a ssage back two minutes later. They lost a chance to get et a handso man.
Zhang Jue looked at his watch. The ti had passed four hours. Not surprisingly, he would wake up from his dream in another hour or two. He took advantage of this ti to go out and slip around, not finding anything special.
He returned to that teacher's ho and sat down again at his computer. The first few tis he ca back were tortuous, but at least there were so gains.
Was he going to return without success this ti? Zhang Jue was sighing at his lousy luck when suddenly an additional red dot was on the web page. A pop-up window popped up from the ssage icon.
"There is a new reply to your post. Please click to view it." Zhang Jue almost jumped up.
Imdiately, he refreshed the webpage. Sure enough, a new reply appeared below the one he had just made.
"What took you so long to reply to the ssage? Are you okay?"
Usually, Zhang Jue would have waited for that person to reply with so helpful information before returning. But Zhang Jue didn't dare. One, he was afraid that the person would see that he hadn't replied and disappeared again. Secondly, he might wake up at any ti, and if he missed this opportunity, he wouldn't know when he'd co back next ti.
He imdiately replied, "I'm hiding. I haven't had access to the internet for a while recently. How's it going on your end?"
"I'm injured."
Yue Qingcheng posted back, followed by a picture of a bandage and alcohol. The bandage had a lot of blood on it, and it looked like it was hurt pretty badly.
"Because of 'it'?"
"Yeah."
"So what is 'it'? I haven't seen 'it', can you tell so I can take precautions?"
"I haven't seen 'it' either, but I can feel its presence."
After saying a few words like that, Zhang Jue felt like it was all nonsense. It could be seen that the Yue Qingcheng still hadn't put his guard down and hadn't revealed any information about himself at all. But Zhang Jue didn't want to play the long ga any more.
He posted directly and asked, "Brother, where are you? I'm so scared. Can I co to find you?"
Although the person's gender is a female, he was sure that with such a ticulous mind. It must be a male. He sent this sentence over, and the person didn't reply for a long ti. Just when Zhang Jue was about to give up himself, his post popped up again with a prompt.
"Sothing's not right about you." Yue Qingcheng posted back. "You replied to this post a total of several tis. The first few tis were all foreign IPs. Only this ti, your IP is in this country. Can you tell how you traveled the world in such a short ti?"
Shit! It turned out to be a technical geek. How did Zhang Jue not expect that the person would be waiting for him here? He didn't know what technology this Yue Qingcheng had used to obtain his IP, but it was obvious that he had underestimated him.
Sure enough, those who could survive in this world were not ordinary people either. Zhang Jue felt a little tired, and he knew there wasn't much ti left. So, he posted back directly.
"Hey, I don't know what's going on. But every ti I wake up, I'm in a different location. There's no way for to use the sa computer."
After he replied, Zhang Jue propped up his chin like an emoji and waited. If the person is gone, he would have lost his only clue. But Zhang Jue was still lucky, because Yue Qingcheng soon followed up with a reply.
"You acquired such an ability? It seems a bit weak."
Acquired? Ability? Just as Zhang Jue was surprised, another reply ca.
"My ability is that I can see reality through the internet."
Zhang Jue froze for a mont, then was shocked by it. According to Yue Qingcheng, instead of being affected by that red moon. Had he gained an ability?
Zhang Jue suddenly looked at himself.
He had tried to summon Able's long sword. It failed.
He tried to enter his Pocket Dinsion. Again, it failed.
Upon returning to his world, he lost those things he had acquired in the SCP world. In other words, the two worlds are not connected. According to Yue Qingcheng, those who were not turned into zombies by the red moon should have acquired an ability, so how co he didn't feel any change in himself?
Zhang Jue felt his head spin around, and he knew he was going to wake up.
At the last mont, he posted and asked, "Can you figure out what 'it' really is?"
Yue Qingcheng's side was apparently also in front of the computer and quickly posted back, "I don't know either. According to my observation, 'it' will appear again in just about two days, and this ti I'm ready to see 'it' soon."
