Chapter 001 War Chestnuts (above)
Ka-ching.
A purple-blue electric light flashed through the window, illuminating the entire night sky into a ghastly white color.
Wang Yiyang was sitting inside the practice field, and his eyes, which were originally tightly closed, steeply opened all of a sudden.
He was wearing the straight suit he wore to work, his hands resting on the armrests of the wooden chair, beads of sweat seeping out of his forehead, his lips dry-shelled and peeling.
The black hair was a bit long, slightly covering his eyebrows. However, Wang Yiyang lowered his head at this moment, breathing deeply, letting his lungs frantically exchange oxygen from the outside world.
"Where am ...... I?" He looked around.
Surrounding him was the familiar practice field.
It was the same originally deserted practice field from the old side of the house.
A practice field?
Wang Yiyang's heart was weird.
He was originally an ordinary office worker, working from nine to five.
Then suddenly one day he got into a car accident and died on the spot.
As a result, as soon as he woke up, he returned to his grandfather's house.
"What the hell? I'm dead and alive again?!"
Wang Yiyang could still recall the pain of the car running over him.
That feeling, he never wanted to experience it a second time in his life.
"I haven't even gotten married yet, I haven't even given birth to a child yet, if I die like this, won't my Wang family be extinct?"
Wang Yiyang reached out and stuck his fingers into his hair, lowering his head with a tangled face.
"Is it a dream, or ...... is it!?"
Sitting on the chair, he eased up for a long time before slowly standing up.
After circling around a few times, he quickly determined that this was indeed his grandfather's family's practice field.
Grandfather, Wang Xinlong, was once said to be a fighting combat expert. When he was young, he opened this martial arts school in his hometown, originally intending to honor his family and spread martial arts.
Unfortunately, things did not turn out as expected.
The martial arts school did operate. But nowadays, with the advancement of technology, there are too few people who are really willing to sink their teeth into learning martial arts.
Even Wang Yiyang was completely uninterested.
From when he was a child, he tried practicing a few times before completely giving up on his grandfather's instruction because it was uninteresting and boring.
Later, he went to school and took exams step by step, and then got into a good university, and after graduating from university, he also found an okay internet company because of his excellent skills.
After only two years of work, female friends have not had time to find, then suddenly received the bad news from the old side of the family.
Martial arts center on fire, grandfather did not escape, together with the martial arts center, including thirteen people, all killed.
After receiving the news, Wang Yiyang, without saying a word, immediately booked a ticket back.
After a tortuous investigation, he finally found the truth.
The one who killed his grandfather was actually the strongest disciple of the martial arts school, the eldest brother Zhong Silkworm.
Because Zhong Silkworm was unable to break through for a long time, he thought that Wang Yiyang's grandfather was concealing the key know-how and purposely dragging him down, so he got furious and struck during an argument.
The grandfather was killed on the spot, and the rest of the group was also killed in a flying accident.
But Wang Yiyang still had doubts about this truth.
Although he wasn't interested in the combat aspect, he still had basic insight.
With the strength of the eldest brother Zhong Silkworm, to kill his grandfather in a short period of time, and at the same time to take out all the members of the martial arts center in a short period of time, how to think is not realistic.
According to the investigation with the police, he got a shocking news.
Big brother Zhong Silkworm, behind seems to have a rather mysterious organization.
This organization had an unknown purpose and acted in a cruel and tyrannical manner. Grandpa's death, and the deaths of the other people in the martial arts school, it was very likely that this organization was behind it.
The name of the organization, Wang Yiyang found a hint of it from the police department's files through a highly skilled friend.
The name of that organization, was called Mantis.
Just as he was getting slightly closer to the truth, a sudden car accident completely drowned his consciousness.
When he woke up again, he was already sitting in the practice field of the martial arts school in this old home.
The air was damp and cold.
Wang Yiyang touched the right pocket of his suit, inside was the familiar cell phone and car keys.
The plastic texture of the cell phone, and the slightly protruding keys, gave him a little peace of mind.
He took out ROL's smartphone and glanced at the time on it.
'March 11, 4471, 7:42 p.m.'
"This time ......!!!" Wang Yiyang's eye pupils shrunk.
Wasn't this the time he had gone back home to visit his grandfather two months ago?
That time, he just happened to be on public holiday for the holidays and had three days off, so he thought that he hadn't gone back to see his grandfather for a long time.
So he bought some fruits and nutrients and went back to his hometown once to visit his grandfather Wang Xinlong who was already eighty-nine years old.
Although Wang Xinlong was already eighty-nine years old, he looked like he was in his seventies at most.
At that time, when he saw his eldest grandson coming home, he was also greatly relieved and pulled Wang Yiyang to have a hard drink of white wine.
As a result, both of them were drunk.
Wang Yiyang was drunk and muddled and ran to the practice field and slept for the night, only to come to his senses the next day, realizing that he did not go back to his room, but sat in the practice field all night.
In the gloom, Wang Yiyang's face was gloomy and his eyes flickered.
"Who would have thought that two months later, grandpa and the entire martial arts school would inexplicably die."
He didn't think that grandpa would inexplicably die in the fire.
With Wang Xinlong's physical fitness quality, he had even gone to participate in the Ultra Long Run Rally a while ago and scored a second place.
That was 10,000 meters of persistent long-distance running. With this kind of physical quality, what kind of fire could make him unable to escape?
Wang Yiyang didn't believe it.
"Moreover, I was so coincidental that I met with a car accident."
He looked down at his hands carefully.
The fingers were short and thick, the palm lines on his palms were clear, and there was a shallow scar on his right thumb.
It was from earlier when he was drinking with his grandfather, and when he opened a bottle of wine, he exerted too much force, and was accidentally scratched by the corkscrew.
Oooh.
Wang Yiyang slowly stood up, walked to the window of the practice field, and looked out at the peaceful courtyard of the martial arts school.
In the entire martial arts center there was only Grandpa and him, as well as Eldest Brother Zhong Silkworm, and a hired nanny living here. The rest of the disciples all went back to their own homes and did not live in the martial arts center.
"Can't it be that I'm really back? Back two months ago?" Wang Yiyang still had some disbelief in his heart.
He pushed the door and walked out to the courtyard.
There was a large tree planted in the courtyard, the name of the species he didn't know, but every year the tree would grow a lot of purplish red leaves.
Every fall, every day, a small number of purple-red leaves would slowly drift down with the wind, the mood was beautiful.
Wang Yiyang stood under the tree, once again took out his cell phone and opened the communication software Feixun.
Then found the company group chat.
He didn't pay attention to his colleagues' farting and chatting, but directly clicked on the group announcement and looked at it.
The latest announcement, showing the time three minutes ago, was followed by a full time.
'March 11, 4471, 7:45 p.m.'
Still unconvinced, he tapped on the other software and looked at the time wherever he was able to view it, collectively.
Ten minutes later.
Wang Yiyang finally determined that he was indeed reborn.
Reborn back to two months ago.
"Yang Yang, sobered up so soon?"
Suddenly a low male voice came out from behind Wang Yiyang.
He was startled, but his body remained calm and he quickly turned around.
Behind him stood a burly man who was at least two meters tall.
In the darkness, the big man's eyes seemed like those of a hungry wolf, glowing with a faint ghostly light that was intimidating.
"It's Brother Zhong Silkworm?" Wang Yiyang's heart jumped, and he recognized the identity of the other party at a glance.
Zhong Silkworm, of unknown origin and age, suddenly appeared in the martial arts school one day when Wang Yiyang was in his teens, and then he had been following his grandfather to learn martial arts.
This person has always been silent and honest, not much to say, but extremely trustworthy. He was born with a lot of qi.
Although Wang Yiyang did not know him well since he was a child, he respected each other very much.
He respects all people who keep their word.
Because keeping one's word, in itself, was a difficult thing to insist on doing.
"I slept for a while, sobered up a bit came out to blow off some steam and change my breath." Wang Yiyang squeezed out a smile on his face.
"You're wearing too few clothes, you'll catch a cold, it's better to go back to sleep earlier." Zhong Silkworm said in a low voice.
"Got it. Brother Zhong Silkworm should also go to rest earlier. It's been a hard day's work today." Wang Yiyang said back.
"It's fine." Zhong Silkworm returned, then slowly walked through the trees towards his room.
His back looked vaguely gloomy under the gloomy sky. It made Wang Yiyang's body indescribably hairy.
Wang Yiyang watched the other party leave and enter the house before withdrawing his sight.
Since he was a child, his grandfather had been very good to him, and two months later, he was suddenly killed, and then he himself suddenly had a car accident.
There were just too many coincidences for what was hidden in this.
"If there are more coincidences, it is not called coincidence, but inevitable ......" Wang Yiyang's heart sank.
He didn't know exactly how he was resurrected and reborn, but since he had returned, he should first investigate what was going on on his grandfather's side.
"Just, how should I start?"
He was just an ordinary white-collar man with unarmed hands, and the strongest thing he had ever done in his life was to kill a chicken with a knife.
As a result, the chicken struggled and scratched him hard.
"Why don't we just go to the police?" Wang Yiyang frowned.
What name should be used to report to the police? Is it hard to go and say, I suspect that grandpa will be killed by the bell silkworm in two months, so I came here to apply for a case in advance?
Isn't that crazy?
But their own secret investigation, and obviously very high risk.
From the martial arts hall fire, coupled with their own coincidental extreme car accident, can be seen, this behind the great possibility of having a black hand in the manipulation of the layout.
"It's a pity that mom and dad are not in ...... But this kind of thing, they are also estimated to have no way." Wang Yiyang's heart was a little annoyed.
He reached out and pressed his hand against the trunk of a large tree, the rough and cold bark of the tree quickly calmed his mood.
"Why don't we go directly to grandpa and hint to him?" He thought for a while and gave such a solution.
With Grandpa's personality, he was afraid that he would pat his shoulder and laugh in various ways, not thinking that he was dreaming too much.
Wang Yiyang couldn't settle his mind, thinking about it for a long time, he couldn't find a way to break the situation.
There was no way for him to determine if he was having a nightmare, but the memories in his mind were so clear that he had to believe it was real.
'Even if it's a mental hallucination, it's not that clear, right?'
After hesitating for more than ten minutes, he finally made up his mind to go and have a good talk with his grandfather first, hinting at it.
He turned around and was about to walk towards his grandfather's house.
Suddenly his eye sight swept just in time to catch a pair of eyes reflecting ethereal light at the window opening of Eldest Senior Brother Zhong Silkworm's house, where a pair of eyes reflecting ethereal light was serenely gazing at him.
Wang Yiyang didn't even know how long the other party had been watching him, he only felt hairy and goosebumps kept rising up on his body layer by layer.
That feeling, just like the time he encountered two mad dogs in the city, was exactly the same as then.
But the intensity was much, much higher.
Wang Yiyang only felt that his heart was unable to move as if it was being tightly tugged by a large hand.
The lungs were a little breathless even to breathe.
His eyes began to blur, his face gradually reddened, and a chill ran through his undershirt.
But somehow, he just couldn't move his eyes away from staring into those eyes.
"What the hell is wrong with me ......?" Wang Yiyang tried hard to try to break free, but to no avail.
It was as if his body's qi and blood were being manipulated, running slower and slower and slower.
Creak.
Just then, a sound of a wooden door opening interrupted Wang Yiyang's dangerous state.
He took a sharp big breath and slowed down. Looking again at the window of the bell silkworm, it was already empty and there was nothing there.
