Me? I was transported into a book? And I became a vicious villain?

Xiao Yichen felt as if he was grabbed by an invisible hand and thrown into the bottomless abyss. He struggled desperately, but in vain, and could only watch himself getting farther and farther away from the ground, closer and closer to the suffocating darkness.

"boom!"

After a loud bang, he fell heavily on a pile of soft weeds, and the severe pain sent from his limbs and bones made him groan. He struggled to stand up, but found that his whole body was sore and weak that he could only collapse to the ground helplessly.

"Cough cough..."

He started to cough violently, and a strong smell of blood filled his mouth. He tried to open his eyes, but could only see a blurry darkness. He didn't know where he was, or how long he had been unconscious. The only sounds in his ears were the whistling wind and his own rapid breathing.

Fear surged towards him like a tide, surrounding him tightly. He wanted to call for help, but he couldn't make any sound; he wanted to struggle, but he couldn't move. He was like a prey trapped in a spider web, and could only watch himself walk step by step into the abyss of despair.

"Mengmeng..."

He silently recited Chu Mengmeng's name in his heart, as if this could dispel the fear in his heart. All the moments with Chu Mengmeng flashed through his mind like movie scenes, and every scene was full of warmth and sweetness, making him cherish it even more.

It was Chu Mengmeng's smile that melted the ice in his heart for many years; it was Chu Mengmeng's company that made him feel the long-lost warmth; it was Chu Mengmeng's encouragement that rekindled his hope for life. He told himself that for Chu Mengmeng, he had to live and must find her!

He took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down. He fumbled to get up from the ground and stumbled forward. He didn't know where he was going or what he was going to do, but he believed that as long as he kept walking, he would find the exit and Chu Mengmeng.

He walked and walked, as if he had walked for a century. He didn't know how many times he had fallen, nor how many scars were left on his body, but he never gave up, because he always had hope in his heart, hoping to meet Chu Mengmeng again as soon as possible.

Just when he was about to despair, he suddenly found that there seemed to be a faint light not far ahead...

Xiao Yichen was like a drowning man in the darkness, swimming desperately towards the faint light. It was getting closer and closer. The light came from a dim oil lamp, shining through the dilapidated window, swaying in the night wind. He finally came to the source of the light - an abandoned factory.

The factory gate had long been rusted, and when he pushed it gently, it made a tooth-grinding "creaking" sound. The air was filled with damp musty smells and pungent chemical smells, which made him cover his mouth and nose. With the weak light, he saw some debris scattered on the ground, among which was a piece of blood-stained cloth. He recognized it at a glance as the blood on Chu Mengmeng's clothes.

"Meng Meng!" His heart tightened, and he walked forward quickly, holding the piece of cloth tightly in his palm. Could it be that Meng Meng had been here before? Where is she now? Is she safe? A series of questions circled in his mind, making him feel confused.

He groped his way forward along the passage inside the factory. His footsteps echoed in the empty factory, adding a bit of eerie atmosphere. Suddenly, he heard a faint cough coming from the front. He was delighted. Could it be Mengmeng? He quickened his pace and followed the sound.

In a corner full of junk, he saw a hunched figure sitting with his back to him. The figure was thin and looked like it would fall down if the wind blew. He asked tentatively, "Excuse me, is this Mengmeng?"

The old man slowly turned his head, revealing a wrinkled face, but his cloudy eyes sparkled with wisdom. He shook his head and said in a hoarse voice: "You are not here to see me, you are here to see him, right?"

Xiao Yichen was stunned, not understanding what the old man meant. He asked doubtfully, "You mean... Xiao Yifeng? Do you know him?"

The old man sighed and said slowly: "He is the child I raised, but I didn't expect that he would end up on this path of no return." He paused, staring at Xiao Yichen with sharp eyes, "Child, you must remember that only by finding the strength in your heart can you defeat him."

After that, the old man stopped talking and closed his eyes again. Xiao Yichen wanted to ask something else, but found that the old man had stopped breathing, as if he was just holding on to his last breath just to wait for him.

He was filled with doubts and puzzlement. The old man's last words lingered in his mind. Finding the strength within oneself? What did that mean?

Xiao Yichen left the factory, letting the cold wind blow on his face. The old man's words echoed in his ears like a huge bell. Find the strength in your heart? He chewed on this sentence again and again, his heart full of confusion and bewilderment.

He recalled every detail of his encounter with Chu Mengmeng, from their initial encounter, to their love, to their current life and death, they had experienced so much together. He had always believed that as long as he had strong power, he would be able to protect Mengmeng and their common home.

However, reality dealt him a heavy blow. Xiao Yifeng's power was getting stronger and stronger, but he could never defeat him. He began to doubt whether he really had the power to protect everything? Could he really defeat Xiao Yifeng and save Mengmeng?

He looked up at the dark night sky, feeling lost. He was like a lost lamb, groping around in the darkness but unable to find the direction to move forward.

After an unknown amount of time, he slowly calmed down. He realized that he couldn't be depressed any longer, he had to cheer up and find a way to defeat Xiao Yifeng.

He began to reflect on his past and present. He had lived in a privileged environment since he was a child, and everything was going smoothly. He had great power and was respected and loved by everyone. He always thought that this was the life he wanted.

However, it was not until he met Chu Mengmeng that he realized that true happiness does not come from the gifts of the outside world, but from the strength of one's heart. Chu Mengmeng's optimism, strength and courage deeply touched him. He began to desire to be like her, a person with a strong heart who could stand on his own.

He realized that he had been relying on external forces and neglecting his inner growth. He was always used to relying on his own strength to solve problems, but rarely thought about the essence of the problem. He was always used to accepting help from others, but rarely helped others.

He decided to change all that. He wanted to find his inner strength and become a truly powerful person.

He took a deep breath and turned to walk towards the city's peace of mind. He wanted to go back to the city guardian team and improve the team's strength from within. Only in this way could they defeat Xiao Yifeng and protect their common home.

However, when he returned to the city, he found that the city guardian team had been disbanded, and Su Mubai and Lin Wan'er were missing. Xiao Yichen stood in the empty base, full of shock and confusion. What happened? Where did Su Mubai and Lin Wan'er go? How should he face all this?

Xiao Yichen dragged his heavy steps back to the base he was familiar with, but an inexplicable chill surged in his heart. The gate of the base was open, and his footsteps echoed in the empty corridor. The noise on the training ground and the laughter of his teammates encouraging each other in the past seemed to be swallowed by a ruthless black hole, leaving only a suffocating silence.

He rushed into Su Mubai's office, hoping to find some traces of the past, but there was nothing left except the mess on the floor. The documents on the table were scattered all over the floor, the ink bottle was overturned, and the black ink was flowing like blood, adding a bit of weirdness to this dead silent space.

"How could this happen? What happened?" Xiao Yichen slumped down in his chair, his mind in a mess. Su Mubai and Lin Wan'er were always calm and composed. Where would they go? What was the reason for them to leave without saying goodbye? Could it be... that they also met with an accident?

This thought was like a poisonous snake entwining his heart, making it almost impossible for him to breathe. He stood up suddenly, a strong force surging in his body. He couldn't just sit there and wait for death. He had to find Su Mubai and Lin Wan'er, and find out what was going on!

Xiao Yichen forced himself to calm down and began to search carefully for any clues. He found a broken jade pendant in the corner of the office. It was the amulet that Su Mubai carried with him. Could they really be in danger?

He tightly grasped the broken jade, his knuckles turning white from excessive force. He closed his eyes, trying to sense the breath of Su Mubai and Lin Wan'er, but he could not sense anything except the dust and decay in the air.

Despair and helplessness overwhelmed him like a tide, and he stumbled out of the base and walked aimlessly on the empty streets. The once prosperous and bustling city has now become a ruin, and the broken walls cast long shadows in the afterglow of the setting sun, making it even more depressed.

"Su Mubai! Lin Wan'er! Where are you?" Xiao Yichen screamed at the empty street. His voice echoed in the empty street, but he received no response. His heart seemed to be tightly grasped by an invisible hand. The pain and despair almost drove him crazy.

Just when he was about to give up hope, a faint cry for help came from not far away. The voice was intermittent, but it was like a flash of lightning that instantly illuminated his desperate heart.

"Who is it? Who is there?" He raised his head suddenly and ran towards the direction where the sound came from...
