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

"Who are you?" Xiao Yichen looked warily at the mysterious strong man who suddenly appeared in front of him and had unfathomable strength.

"My name is Xuanwu," he put away his giant axe, his golden armor shining brightly in the moonlight, "I am here to help you fight against the Shadowbringer."

Xiao Yichen's doubts grew even stronger. The Shadow Messenger acted in secret and had never had any contact with the outside world. Why would this powerful man who called himself Xuanwu help him? But he suppressed his doubts and said, "Thank you for your help, I wonder..."

Xuanwu seemed to see through his thoughts and said calmly: "I know you have a lot of questions, but time is running out. It's not too late to talk about it after solving the problem at hand."

Xiao Yichen nodded slightly. Xuanwu was right. The most urgent task was to find out the purpose of the Shadow Messenger and how to save Chu Mengmeng.

"You said before that the power of the Shadow Messenger is far beyond our imagination. What did you mean?" Xiao Yichen asked.

Xuanwu sighed and said, "The Shadowbringers are an extremely ancient and powerful organization. They believe in the power of chaos and attempt to destroy the world and restore order. Their leader is even more unfathomable. I suspect..."

He paused, as if considering something, but ultimately did not say anything.

"What do you doubt?" Xiao Yichen asked.

"I suspect that their leader has found a way to break the seal. If this is true, the consequences will be disastrous." Xuanwu's face was solemn, with a hint of worry in his tone.

"Seal? What seal?" Xiao Yichen was even more confused.

Xuanwu did not answer directly, but asked: "Do you know the history of the era of reverse evolution?"

Xiao Yichen nodded. The era of reverse evolution was the darkest period in human history. Technological civilization collapsed, strange beasts were rampant, and humans were forced to degenerate from technological civilization to cultivation civilization, struggling to survive.

"Legend has it that before the era of reverse evolution, there existed a more glorious civilization, but it was destroyed by a catastrophe, and the Shadowbringer was the instigator of that catastrophe." Xuanwu said slowly, "In order to prevent them from destroying the world again, the ancients joined forces to seal them, but now it seems that the power of the seal has begun to weaken..."

Xiao Yichen's heart was filled with shock. He had never imagined that the truth of history would be so cruel.

"Then what should we do?" Xiao Yichen asked.

"We need to find a way to crack the power of the Shadowbringer." Xuanwu said, "I have sent people to collect their intelligence, and I believe there will be news soon."

At this time, Su Mubai and Lin Wan'er also arrived at the scene. Following Xiao Yichen's instructions, they inquired about the news in the city and finally found some clues about the Shadow Messenger.

"According to the intelligence we have collected, the Shadow Messengers seem to be looking for something, and wherever they go, they release a strange energy fluctuation." Su Mubai said.

"Energy fluctuations?" Xiao Yichen and Xuanwu looked at each other, and the same thought arose in their minds.

"It seems we have to go to the place where they last appeared." Xuanwu said.

"I'll go too!" Xiao Yichen said firmly. He must find a way to save Chu Mengmeng, and also find out what the Shadow Messenger is looking for and what kind of connection there is between them and himself.

Xuanwu nodded and took Xiao Yichen, Su Mubai and Lin Wan'er to a deserted temple outside the city. It was gloomy and terrifying here, and the air was filled with a disgusting smell of blood. Obviously, a tragic battle had taken place not long ago.

"This is it." Xuanwu pointed at the remaining black energy mark on the ground and said, "The Shadow Messenger appeared here last time. They seemed to be holding some kind of ceremony."

Xiao Yichen squatted down and carefully observed the black marks. Suddenly, he felt a sharp pain in his mind, and some blurry images flashed by, causing him to take a few steps back.

"What's wrong with you?" Seeing this, Lin Wan'er hurried forward to support him.

"I'm fine." Xiao Yichen shook his head, took a deep breath, and tried to calm himself down. Although the images were blurry, he felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity, as if those things had happened to him before.

"Could it be..." A bold guess suddenly popped up in Xiao Yichen's mind. Could it be that there really was some connection between him and the Shadow Messenger?

"Senior Xuanwu, how much do you know about the leader of the Shadow Messenger?" Xiao Yichen raised his head and asked.

Xuanwu groaned for a moment and said, "I only know that he is called 'Shadow', his strength is unfathomable, and..."

He paused, as if hesitating about something.

"And what?" Xiao Yichen asked.

"Besides, he looks exactly like you." Xuanwu finally said it.

This sentence was like a thunder, exploding in Xiao Yichen's ears. He never thought that he would look exactly like the leader of the evil organization that was trying to destroy the world!

"How is this possible?" Su Mubai and Lin Wan'er were also shocked.

Xiao Yichen forced himself to calm down. He knew that this was not the time to be shocked. If he and Shadow really looked exactly the same, then he could use this to design a trap and lure the snake out of its hole!

"Senior Xuanwu, can you do me a favor?" A gleam of light flashed in Xiao Yichen's eyes.

……

At the same time, in a hidden cave not far from the temple, a handsome but evil-looking man in a black robe was sitting cross-legged. In front of him, a black crystal ball emitting a strange light was floating.

"Master, we have found the whereabouts of the 'key'." A man in black knelt on one knee and reported respectfully.

"Very good." The man slowly opened his eyes, with a wicked smile on his face. "Get ready for action. This time, I must get the 'key', open the seal, and reshape the world!"

After Xuanwu left, he left behind a mysterious old man. The old man took out an exquisite wooden box from his arms, and after opening it, there lay a crystal clear herb with a faint fragrance.

"What is this?" Xiao Yichen asked puzzledly.

"This is the 'Nine-turn Resurrection Grass'. Legend has it that it can bring back the dead." The old man explained, "It can repair Miss Mengmeng's damaged meridians, but you need to go to the Frost Abyss in the Far North to pick it yourself."

Xiao Yichen's heart trembled. He knew that the Ice Abyss was an extremely dangerous place, but he had no choice. For Chu Mengmeng, he was willing to pay any price.

"I will definitely bring it back!" Xiao Yichen took the wooden box, his eyes full of determination.

However, he didn't know that when he set out on the journey to find the Nine-turn Resurrection Grass, a bigger conspiracy was approaching him...

"The Far North... the Ice Abyss..." Xiao Yichen silently recited these words, feeling as if a huge rock was pressing down on his heart. He knew that this journey was destined to be full of hardships.

After bidding farewell to everyone, Xiao Yichen set out on his journey to the Far North alone. The biting cold wind blew on his face like a knife, and the snow-covered land was desolate, as if it was the end of the world.

Along the way, Xiao Yichen encountered several waves of attacks from mysterious organizations. These men in black were all extraordinary and fierce, and they were obviously strictly trained assassins. But Xiao Yichen was no ordinary person either. With his flexible body movements and strong strength, he escaped danger again and again.

Once, Xiao Yichen was forced to the edge of a cliff, with a deep abyss behind him and dozens of men in black in front of him. He knew that he would not be able to escape today.

However, at this moment, a sudden change occurred!

The originally peaceful sky was suddenly covered with dark clouds, and the wind blew violently. Lightning flashed across the sky, illuminating the entire world in a pale white. The men in black were terrified and retreated one after another, as if they were afraid of something.

Then, a huge figure fell from the sky and landed heavily among the people in black. With a loud "bang", the ground shook violently, snowflakes flew everywhere, and the people in black were caught off guard by this sudden attack, suffering heavy casualties.

Xiao Yichen looked closely and saw a man in a green robe with a stern face standing in front of him, holding a long sword emitting a faint green light in his hand. The man's eyes were as sharp as an eagle's, and he exuded a strong pressure from head to toe, making people dare not look directly at him.

"Who are you?" Xiao Yichen asked vigilantly.

"You don't need to care who I am. You just need to know that I'm here to help you." The man said lightly, with a hint of unquestionable majesty in his tone.

As soon as he finished speaking, the man swung his sword and launched a fierce attack on the remaining men in black.

Xiao Yichen looked at this incredible scene in front of him, his heart full of doubts. Who is this mysterious man? Why did he want to help him?

Before Xiao Yichen could figure it out, the man had already dealt with all the men in black and turned to walk towards him.

"Take this," the man threw an exquisite wooden box to Xiao Yichen, "This is what you want."

Xiao Yichen took the wooden box, opened it, and saw a crystal clear herb lying quietly inside. It was the Nine-Turn Resurrection Herb that he had been looking for.

"Thank you for saving my life, senior. May I ask your name?" Xiao Yichen said gratefully.

The man shook his head, said nothing, turned around, and turned into a streak of green light, disappearing into the sky.

Xiao Yichen looked in the direction where the man disappeared, his heart filled with awe and gratitude.

He didn't know who this mysterious man was, but he knew that he owed him his life.

With the Nine-turn Resurrection Grass, Xiao Yichen rushed back to the hospital without stopping. With the help of the doctor, he boiled the Nine-turn Resurrection Grass into a decoction and fed it to Chu Mengmeng.

The miracle happened!

Chu Mengmeng, who was originally unconscious, gradually regained consciousness and her face gradually became rosy.

Seeing this scene, everyone showed a relieved smile on their face.

"That's great, Mengmeng finally woke up!" Lin Wan'er excitedly held Chu Mengmeng's hand, her eyes red.

"Yeah, that's great!" Su Mubai couldn't help but sigh.

Xiao Yichen looked at Chu Mengmeng lying on the hospital bed with a pale face, and secretly swore in his heart that after Chu Mengmeng fully recovered, he would launch a general attack on the mysterious organization, completely eliminate this threat, and avenge Chu Mengmeng!

In the few days after Chu Mengmeng woke up, Xiao Yichen stayed by her side, fearing that she would have another accident. Although Chu Mengmeng was physically weak, her mental state was much better. From time to time, she would joke with Lin Wan'er, and the ward was filled with laughter.

That night, Su Mubai came to the hospital to visit Chu Mengmeng as usual, and brought a piece of news: "I found some clues about that mysterious organization. Their leader seems to be looking for an ancient artifact called 'Xuanming Mirror'."

"Xuanming Mirror?" Xiao Yichen frowned, "Is there anything special about this artifact?"

Su Mubai shook his head. "I don't know the details, but I know that this artifact has extremely powerful power. If it falls into the hands of the wrong people, the consequences will be disastrous."

"It seems we must find this artifact before them!" Xiao Yichen said with a firm look in his eyes.

"But we know nothing about this organization right now. We don't even know where their lair is. Where should we start looking?" Lin Wan'er asked worriedly.

At this time, Chu Mengmeng, who had been silent all the time, suddenly spoke up: "Maybe I know how to find them."

Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and they all looked at Chu Mengmeng.

Chu Mengmeng smiled slightly, with a sly light in her eyes: "Remember the man in black who attacked me before? I left a mark on him. As long as we find him, we can follow the clues and find their lair."

"Really? Mengmeng, you are so awesome!" Lin Wan'er said excitedly.

A trace of admiration flashed in Xiao Yichen's eyes. He gently stroked Chu Mengmeng's hair and said softly, "Mengmeng, you should have a good rest. Leave the rest to me."

Chu Mengmeng nodded and closed her eyes with peace of mind.

The next morning, Xiao Yichen left the hospital with his new ally and began tracking the whereabouts of the man in black based on the marks left by Chu Mengmeng.

At the same time, the leader of the mysterious organization also received news that Chu Mengmeng had awakened and was investigating their identities.

"Useless! You are all a bunch of useless!" The leader angrily smashed the teacup in his hand to pieces. "If you can't even deal with a little girl, what use do I have for you!"

"Chief, please calm down. We have found out that it was a mysterious master who appeared next to Xiao Yichen, which led to the failure of our operation." A man in black reported tremblingly.

"Mysterious master? Humph, no matter who it is, if they dare to hinder my plan, they will die!" A fierce look flashed in the leader's eyes, "Pass the order down, at all costs, we must get rid of Xiao Yichen and the mysterious master, and we must not let them ruin my plan!"

"Yes!" The man in black took the order and left.

A war is about to break out...
