merit book

In the blasting wind, there was a rumbling sound, Bao'er rushed forward as if stepping on the flames, hugged Rong Yuan and rolled down the concrete steps by the side of the road.Rong Yuan hit his head on the ground, feeling dizzy for a while, and the objects in his vision had double images.A warm liquid trickled down his forehead.

Rong Yuan wiped it, it was blood, but there was no wound on his head.He reacted for a while, and touched Bao'er's head with slightly trembling fingers, feeling a little soft and sticky under his fingers.

He froze.

The impenetrable breathing still sprayed on his face, letting him know that this girl is still alive, but how can such a serious injury be saved?

"why……"

He murmured and asked silently—why did he try his best to save him?If it wasn't for protecting him, would there still be a glimmer of life with her skills?He had helped her before, but it was only because he had to take what he needed in order to survive.If she hadn't happened to be on that bus, sitting next to him, he'd probably be dead by now, like the rest of the passengers on that bus.

Time is life, and he doesn't have much time to waste on shock and emotion.Rong Yuan only froze for a short moment, and immediately forced himself to focus on what he should do more - find help and send her to the hospital.

He carefully moved Bao'er's body to the side, trying not to touch her wound, even so, more blood flowed out under his movements, as if the faucet was turned on.Rong Yuan pulled out his hands and feet from under her body, propped himself up on the ground, looked around, and immediately froze.

The densely packed street was almost razed to the ground at this time. The tall and old buildings, the passing crowd, the vehicles honking their horns... all disappeared, and only broken walls, bloodstains, stumps, and flames remained. .The deformed car was stuck on the wall of a two-story building in the distance, and a few painful screams could be heard intermittently, and more of it was boundless silence.

The heat from the explosion hadn't dissipated yet, and the smoke and dust blown into the sky by the blast wind slowly fell down, covering the ground with a layer of white ash in no time.Compared with 1 minute ago, these are simply two different worlds.

But in the middle of the clearing, there were two more people standing.The girl disguised by Bao'er looked at everything in front of her with cold eyes, and the stern man called "Mr. Yan" put his arms around her to protect her, regardless of the fact that his back was burned...

Rong Yuan was astonished - what is that?

Behind the man, the suit was burned, the skin and flesh were burned, revealing strangely shaped metal parts, and a few broken wires released sparks from time to time, making a sizzle.

"I didn't expect them to have such a hand, so careless." Xiao Xiao sighed, and said in a low voice as if talking to himself: "If it was when I hadn't terminated the contract, even if I didn't die when I attacked the manor before, there are so many people now. The negative merits and virtues are enough to be implicated to death. Are you right, Ah Ce?"

But Yan Ce's eyes had lost their luster, his whole body was stiff, motionless like a real machine, and naturally it was impossible to answer her.

Xiao Xiao took a deep breath, holding back the tears that were about to burst out.

……

When Rong Yuan came back to his senses, he found that Bao'er had stopped breathing.He hugged the girl's still warm body, feeling dazed for a while.At this moment, he seemed to think of a lot, but also seemed to think of nothing.

"Do you want to save her?" A voice suddenly rang in my ears, carrying a wonderful and mysterious allure, just like the mythical siren's singing voice that lured the navigator to sink the ship on the rocks.

"Is there any way to revive the dead?" Rong Yuan asked.

"some."

"What about the price?"

"What if you make a pact with the devil?" asked the voice.

"No." Rong Yuan said bluntly.He raised his head, looked at the young girl standing beside him at an unknown time, and said, "Although I regret her death, death is death, and it is foolish to betray oneself in order to restore the deceased." Although he doesn't believe in the existence of "devil", he guesses it's just a nickname, but it doesn't prevent him from immediately rejecting this seemingly beautiful suggestion, but he doesn't know how many traps it has.

Xiao Xiao was stunned by his straightforwardness and unfeelingness, and was speechless for a while.She thought he would at least hesitate for a moment, and ask if there really was a devil.She was stunned for a moment and asked, "Is there no one you care about in this city?"

Rong Yuan's firm expression fluctuated for a moment, although it was only for a moment, it was enough for the people in front of him to see his wavering.

Xiao Xiao continued: "The explosion range and power of this bomb are much larger than what you can see with your eyes. The number of people involved in it is probably a number far beyond your imagination. There is one and only one chance to save everything. And the sooner the better. Even if you don't care about everyone here, but if you go back and find that the people you really care about are dead, what should you do? Hold their corpses and cry? At that time, even if you regret the time It’s too late to choose.”

Although Rong Yuan knows that the exaggerated threat of this assumption is far greater than the real possibility, but he really can't help but care, if what she said really happened, then...

"Don't give yourself a chance to regret it." Xiao Xiao said as if he could read minds, "And this [devil] will not ask for your soul, but will only make you bear some bad things—it will be very heavy burden, but there is still the possibility of repaying it cleanly. At that time, if I am still alive, I will help you get rid of it."

"It's only a possibility that the people I care about will be affected, but the people who died here are all yours?" Rong Yuan asked, "Don't you have the determination to sacrifice yourself to the devil to save them?"

"If I could, I would do it, but I have already lost my qualifications." Xiao Xiao said: "Only those who sign the contract for the first time and have positive merits will be given a chance to pay on credit."

"Tell me what to do?" Rong Yuan decided to consider whether to accept the devil's contract after listening to her method.

As a result, everything that happened next simply subverted his worldview.

He didn't really summon a devil, Xiao Xiao took out a simple booklet from his body, and asked him to scratch his finger and write his name on the page with blood.He watched his own blood melt into that white page, and then like a drop of water falling into the water, there were ring-like fluctuations on the page, and then his own photo suddenly appeared on the blank page, and something like that Data such as name, gender, age, lineage, and merit.

"How much merit do you have?" Xiao Xiao asked with concern.

Rong Yuan took a look at her and asked: "Can't you see it?" He didn't cover the pages of the book, Xiao Xiao was right beside him, if they could all see it, there was no reason to do so extravagantly.

"Only you can see all the content in this book." Xiao Xiao spoke quickly, with a sense of urgency in his tone, and asked, "How much?"

"One thousand and eighty-two." Rong Yuan said, not knowing whether this number is big or small.

"Positive or negative?" Xiao Xiao asked again.

"Positive number."

"That's good." Xiao Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "You turn to the back, there is a [Garden Mall], exchange a thousand merit points for a [Universal Shield], and cover the two of us in it; then use your The credit opportunity is exchanged for [Back in Time], and time goes back to before the explosion.”

Rong Yuan searched and found the two exchange items she mentioned, [Universal Shield] is okay, but [Time Back] is really expensive, the price is 100 million merits per second.Even if he still doesn't know how this merit is calculated, no matter what kind of algorithm it is, 100 million will not be a small number.

He hesitated for a moment, but then realized that he had already made a decision, and hesitation was meaningless, it would only increase the merit value he owed on credit.

"exchange!"

A huge metal mesh cage fell from the sky above their heads, and then...Rong Yuan couldn't tell what it was like, it was like a strong light pierced through his hand that was pressing on the page, and then passed through his body Shooting in all directions, a circle of bright circular white light suddenly enveloped the whole world, the world seemed to be folded and stretched, his body seemed to be broken into countless pieces and divided into different places, his pupils were dilated, and countless stars were reflected in his eyes , as if the whole galaxy fell into his eyes.

The moment the white light dispersed, the blocker turned into debris and disappeared, but its effect had already been achieved.

Going back in time would be a very heavy physical burden on the contractor, but the fact that Rong Yuan became a contractor will not change, nor will his memory disappear.But with his current physical fitness of an ordinary person, it is impossible to be awake in the future. If he goes back to the past and falls into a coma, then the meaning of going back in time will be completely lost, and it will just repeat the current tragedy.Therefore, it is Xiao Xiao who can really take action to change history.

But she started a battle with the enemy before, Xiao and the enemy have forged a blood feud for more than 100 years, and the only thing that can resolve the grievance is that one of them dies.In order to avoid being wiped out by the "Book of Merit and Deeds" after deducting her merits into negative values ​​due to killing innocent people, she terminated the contract before she acted.At this time, she is not a contractor, which means that she will lose this memory like everyone else in time travel, so she needs to exchange the shield to ensure that her memory will not disappear; at the same time, if she uses this surreal Items will also be obliterated by the rules, so a shield is needed to cover the two of them, so that when Rong Yuan is using the item, she is just within its range of action, not completely its user.

Xiao Xiao opened her eyes again, she was still standing in the yard, and the people around were discussing the topic of the celebration banquet.She ran out, and saw a man carrying a box walking over at a glance, and couldn't help being taken aback when she saw her.

On the side of the road, Bao'er was saying, "I know you know how to do it is the best. And this location has been exposed, we... Hey, what's wrong with you?"

She supported Rong Yuan's body that fell down suddenly, and suddenly felt her hands were a little wet, and when she looked down, she found that her hands were covered with blood.

……

The man's body went limp and fell to the ground, and the box was already in Xiao Xiao's hands.

Handing the box to Yan Ce who came out later, she kicked the lifeless man on the ground and said, "Let's deal with it."

Yan Ce looked down for a while, then nodded.Through the occlusion outside, he has already scanned the structure and principle of the object inside, indicating that he can handle it.Although Uncle Geng and the others were puzzled, they carried the man in as instructed, and at the same time explained a little to the neighbors who saw the scene.

The people in the old street are used to this kind of scene, no one pays special attention to them, at most they look at Xiao Xiao and Yan Ce, they actually seem out of place with this place.

Bao'er was doing examination and first aid for Rong Yuan. She thought someone was shooting from a distance, but after finding no trauma, she suspected that it was some kind of emergency, so she could only call an ambulance and take conventional first aid measures.

"Yes...sudden coma...massive bleeding...not pregnant, sixteen or seventeen years old, male...don't know...I don't know his medical history...please come here as soon as possible, the address is..."

One hand suddenly took away her mobile phone, Xiao Xiao disconnected the call, and said to the surprised Bao'er: "He's fine, he'll wake up in a day or two at most."

"But, miss, he..." Bao'er looked at Rong Yuan's face covered in blood, although she had always trusted Xiao Xiao, she still couldn't feel relieved at this moment.

"Don't worry." Xiao Xiao pressed her shoulder and said, his tone was very firm, and then said: "I will send someone to find out his identity and send him back. Those who were born on the [-]st day should not be careless!"

……

Rong Yuan didn't know what happened after time went back in time because he passed out immediately, but he finally figured out where his 1 million negative merits came from, which can be regarded as a solution to his worries.

One million merits is one second, and the 100 million negative merits means that he only backtracked for a mere 850 seconds.But considering that the time of the whole world has been set back by nearly 178.5 minutes, this price can only be said to be the price of cabbage.Thinking about it this way, Rong Yuan's mood of being depressed because of that huge negative merit is finally much better.

He propped his forehead, sat on the sofa to rest for a while, and then asked Pea to call Xiao Xiao.

"I remember it all," he said.

"Congratulations." On the other side of the phone, there was an unsurprised tone, as if she had been waiting for this call for a long time.

"I have a few questions to ask you."

"Please tell me, but I don't promise to have all the answers."

Rong Yuan asked bluntly: "Who was the enemy who attacked you that day?"

"Have you ever heard of the Maizi family in Nut Country? They knew about the existence of the "Book of Merit" more than 100 years ago. Although they only deduced a little from the clues, it was enough for these guys to flock to it. Over the years, they have never I gave up trying to get the "Book of Merit". The investigation team that hunted you down before is the Maizi family behind the scenes."

The Maizi family is called by the people of Tang Country. In fact, their surname is transliterated as Wheat. It is a new family that developed with the rise of Nut Country. It is also a model of self-made in the history of world economic development.The ups and downs of development, long-term vision, and broad-mindedness of the founder of the family and the leaders of successive generations have moved countless people.Every student who needs to take the sugar language test in the country of sugar must have memorized several inspirational or honest or humorous stories about the Maizi family's entrepreneurship as writing materials, and Rong Yuan is naturally no stranger.

It's just that he never thought that one day, he would need to regard this behemoth as a potential enemy.

"To what extent do they understand the 'skin' of the Merit Book?" Rong Yuan asked.

"At least I know that it is an indestructible book. Moreover, I also know that it can create something out of nothing in this world." She paused, and then said: "Besides, it's just speculation... I'm afraid they also know The owners are very soft-hearted and cherish human life very much. Some time ago, they thought that Mrs. Xiao had lost the "Book of Merit and Deeds", and they relaxed their temptations and surveillance of us. But because of an inappropriate move, they saved us who should not have been saved. Only those people who have become their targets again. You also have to be careful, if you continue to hold the "Book of Merit", you will definitely confront them in the future."

While Rong Yuan was talking, Pea searched the recent news of the Maizi family, and found that at the beginning of September last year—that is, before Rong Yuan got the "Book of Merit", an explosion of unknown reasons occurred in the Maizi family during a family gathering. Nine out of ten people who are directly related by blood, and some of the people who survived by luck also died suddenly afterwards.The police have always suspected that someone was murdering his family, but the spokesperson of the Maizi family insisted that it was an accident or a genetic disease in the family, and has been preventing the police from getting involved. The outside world has speculated about their approach. If all the conjectures are true , That is enough to stage hundreds of episodes of house fighting business war spy war drama.

But in this world now, any news will soon become outdated, and the tragedy of the Maizi family is no exception.After a few months, this family has gradually recovered from the last severe injury and the various blows that followed. The young family leader has a shrewdness beyond his age and has gradually restored the family's decline.At the same time, it is probably because the voice of the entire family has been concentrated in the hands of a few people, and all kinds of internal struggles that hinder and hinder the legs have disappeared. Therefore, this family burst out with strange vitality and aggressive desire at this time, like fangs. A beast dripping with blood, eager to fill its bellies with more food.

Rong Yuan didn't entangle this future enemy for too long, he asked another question of great concern: "Yan Ce...what is he? Why is he still by your side?"

As long as it is a person with positive merit, it is very simple to cancel the contract with the "Book of Merit". Rong Yuan has discovered this a long time ago, but in the past records, the "Book of Merit" will take back all the exchange items at the moment the contract is terminated: gold Silver, props, basic values, special abilities, and blood... even a grain of rice exchanged, as long as it is not eaten and digested by others, it will suddenly disappear together.Contractors will become "destitute, weak, weak, and regretful".

Then Yan Ce, that "person" who obviously shouldn't exist in this world, why is he still there?
