Chapter 1 Kidnapping
"This is going to be a bit troublesome. Without this guy, we won't be able to explain it here"
"Boss, you just said that there is such a ruin under the 'D33 Wasteland' that even the Hunting Guild has not recorded. This shabby manor is actually a rare 'cursed space'. Who is this kid? What is he doing here?”
"To be able to have the big shots in the inner city banish him and put a reward on his head to silence him, his identity is definitely not simple. It's a pity. I thought I could get some secrets out of this kid before killing him, so I followed him for so long. I didn’t expect to get into trouble”
"Hey, it seems like he's not dead yet."
"Hoo ho."
His chest heaved violently, as if he was awakening from a nightmare of drowning, Su Lun opened his eyes suddenly.
He gasped for air, and the strong feeling of suffocation gradually dissipated.
His eyes gradually focused on a strange room.
"Where is this."
Su Lun wanted to struggle to get up, but when he lowered his head, he found that he was tied tightly to a wooden chair and could not move.
There was a strong smell of blood in his nostrils, and when he looked at his condition, he saw it was terrible.
There were many blood stains on the white linen shirt, and there were open wounds. What's even more terrifying is that a sharp dagger was nailed to the handle of the chair on each palm of his hands, and scarlet blood was gurgling out.
The sharp pain caused by the struggle stung his nerves like a tide
"Am I kidnapped?"
Before he had time to think about why he saw this scene when he woke up, Su Lun glanced at the two unkind-looking guys in the room.
There was a bald, muscular man with smoky makeup and purple lips and dark circles, and the other was a thin man with green hair and a comb-head wearing a nose ring and earrings.
They were wearing black leather jackets and old leather pants covered with iron nails. Judging from their attire, they looked like two punk enthusiasts.
Of course, the most eye-catching thing is the weapons they wear.
"Is the gun a gangster?"
Su Lun glanced slightly sideways.
The two guys had large revolvers on their holsters, and there were simple and mysterious complex inscriptions on the guns. The shape looks a bit exaggerated, but it feels vaguely familiar.
But what made him even more strange was that the right arm of the bald man was actually equipped with a strange mechanical arm?
This robotic arm has a strong dark industrial style, with almost all parts exposed to the air. Brass gears, power transmission rods, mechanical joints, air valves with instrument panels, and a fist-sized spiral muzzle and cross sight at the front end of the high-pressure tube mechanical arm.
It seems that this mechanical arm is still a hand-held individual artillery.
What puzzled Su Lun the most was that white steam was actually coming out of the exhaust pipe of the robotic arm.
"Is this a steam-powered machine?"
Su Lun frowned slightly, feeling that he saw something incredible.
In this day and age, do people still play with antiques like steam machinery?
There was not much fear, but more confusion in his eyes.
Making a movie?
No!
The severe pain in his palm told Su Lun that he had indeed been kidnapped!
"I remember I clicked on a strange email and my vision went dark. Then, I woke up and came here?"
Su Lun woke up in a strange place and had no idea at all.
No matter how hard he tried to recall, there was no memory of the "kidnapping" process in his mind.
Su Lun felt something was wrong.
He wanted to find more clues, and his eyes fell back into the house.
Dazzling crystal chandeliers, beautifully carved solid wood furniture, rows of gilded books neatly placed on the bookshelf, and a signed black and white family photo on the wall
Su Lun quickly made a guess in his mind: the homeowner should be a very particular lover of British retro style, or this might be a European castle.
But if you are so rich, why would you kidnap yourself?
The painful sting from the two sharp daggers nailed to his hands always reminded him that these two guys in front of him were absolutely vicious kidnappers.
"Are these two guys kidnappers?"
Su Lun's pupils focused and fell on the two people in the room again.
Whether it's their European faces, the retro equipment on their bodies, or the steam robotic arms, everything looks strange.
Of course, what was even more strange was that Su Lun looked up and saw his own shadow in the shiny mirror-like ceiling of the roof - the appearance of a brown-haired boy with a bloody face!
"Hey, why have I changed my appearance?!"
Su Lun vaguely guessed that something strange had happened to him.
Moreover, when he woke up and opened his eyes just now, he also discovered some strange fluorescent words on his retinas.
He blinked to confirm that it was not an illusion.
Thoughts flashed by, and a loud shout brought Su Lun's thoughts back to reality.
"Hey! Boy, I know you're awake, don't pretend to be stupid!"
The skinny man with the cockscomb head stared at him with a fierce look, and said viciously: "I will give you one last chance. Tell me honestly how you knew about this ruins and why you came here, otherwise"
While speaking, this guy held down the handle of the dagger that pierced Su Lun's left hand.
"Hiss~"
A bone-piercing pain like mincing meat shot straight through his forehead. Su Lun's forehead was instantly covered with cold sweat, and he took a sharp breath.
He immediately understood that these two guys were "interrogating" and seemed to want to know something from his own mouth.
Huh.
trial?
intelligence?
Text on the retina!
At this moment, a flash of inspiration occurred, and the clues in his mind were instantly connected together.
"These guys are not trying to kidnap me, but the 'original owner' of the kidnapping!"
Su Lun suddenly woke up.
Suddenly, a bold thought came to his mind: "I seem to have traveled through time?"
Although this idea is outrageous, it is also the most reasonable explanation.
Whether it was his brown-haired boy's body, the two punk-style kidnappers in front of him, or the conversation he could understand but didn't know what language it was in, it all proved that this was no longer the original world.
As a senior fan of online literature, time travel is not something that is difficult to accept.
After a moment of shock, Su Lun became calmer.
Wait
These two guys have already killed the original owner once?
The original owner was killed and he just traveled through time. Su Lun didn't take any chances.
The kidnapper in front of him could even use incapacitating methods during interrogation. He had no doubt that the two of them had no intention of keeping alive!
Thinking of this, he frowned slightly and thought to himself: "It seems that if you don't tell the truth, you will die."
A fatal start?
Su Lun's mentality also adapted very quickly.
It was like playing an immersive horror game. As soon as it started, he felt the adrenaline rush.
"If you want to survive, you must find a way to get out of trouble first."
The other party's malice was as real as the substance, stinging his nerves more than the wounds on his hands. But this did not make Su Lun feel fearful and trembling, but instead caused some specific stress reactions.
Because of his special detention experience in childhood, he has an extraordinary ability to control certain dangerous emotions.
This moment.
Faced with the threat of death, his body, which was tense due to the stinging pain, completely relaxed, as if a hidden switch had been turned on, and all negative emotions such as fear, panic, and trembling disappeared.
There was an almost numb calmness in Su Lun's eyes. New book uploaded, brothers, asking for votes~
