Throne of Radiance

For the past 25 years of her life, Rhine has been an ordinary man.

Ordinary family background, ordinary academic performance, admitted to an ordinary university, and only found an ordinary job after graduation, as an ordinary intern reporter in an ordinary newspaper.

He is like every ordinary person who lives under the order of this society, maintains order and is maintained by order.

Until half a year ago, when her parents died in an accidental car accident, Rhine made the first move in her life that was not in line with most ordinary people—willfully resigned from her job that had just become a full-time regular, left her hometown and her homeland alone, With a little savings, embark on a journey to a foreign country.

After traveling abroad for a while, his savings were also exhausted. Just when Rhine was about to return to China and continue to be a social animal, on the first day he had just arrived at the League of Islands, the last tourist destination he had planned, an accident happened. .

The spiritual veins of the five domains vibrated, and spiritual waves erupted. There were hundreds of missing people all over the world, and he became one of them.

——I don't know whether to call it a lucky or unfortunate accident.

After being involved in the mysterious sword world, he landed in a hidden village, did not meet any "Zhanlan Star fellow" Rhine, and naturally thought that he had accidentally crossed another world, just like the protagonists in those online novels.

However, without the aura of the protagonist, he happened to travel to a world similar to the oriental cultural background. The same hair color prevented Rhine from being rejected at the beginning, but the obvious blue pupil color also made him less so. It is easy to gain the acceptance of local residents, it can be said that the beginning is a difficult mode.

After a dreamlike "three years", Rhine finally took root in this village. Despite his hard work, he even impressed a powerful warrior with his 007-like social animal spirit and worshiped him as his teacher.

At this point, he was finally fortunate enough to learn the extraordinary power unique to this world, and stepped into the threshold of martial arts practitioners.

——From the very beginning when he learned of the existence of martial arts, Rhine, as an ordinary person, had a strong sense of crisis. Dangerous elements with insurance.When a weak ordinary person like him met them, who knew if he would offend a powerful warrior with a sentence, or if he just passed by accidentally when two warriors were fighting, and he rushed to the street on the spot?

Rhine, a traveler from another world, deeply felt the dangers of this world, and without a sense of security, he determined not to leave the village without learning martial arts well, so he stayed in the village for three years.

Anyway, he has no relatives or friends, and he doesn't miss the original world. It may be a good thing for him to be able to start a new life in the new world.

Until one night, he woke up from his sleep and saw everything around him disappear like a dream.

He ran out of the house, and the world in his sight was like a pencil drawing erased by an eraser. The familiar houses, familiar villages, familiar villagers, and that unsmiling teacher were easily erased, only in time to reveal the last A sudden smile seemed to understand something at the end of disappearing.

Facing the torn night, bathed in the infinite brilliance that penetrated through the cracks, Rhine stood there blankly.

He didn't understand what happened at all, and he didn't know whether he was crying or laughing at that time.All he knew was that when he came to his senses, he had already returned to the place before the crossing.

——On a remote island in the Alliance of Archipelagos.

Just before being shrouded in fog and passing through, he was still sitting in front of a reef by the beach thinking about life.

When he reappeared in front of the deserted beach, breathing the smell of seawater surging in the humid air, Rhine's mood suddenly became very complicated.

came back……

However, the family that was finally regained was lost overnight.He was alone again.

Rhine shut herself up on the spot and almost fell into depression.

Not in a good mental state, he returned to the home of the Morning Star Empire.

Probably because he went to that remote island on a whim to think about life alone, his own social relationship was almost zero, and no relatives and friends reported his disappearance, so he never went to the missing person in various countries. list.

Therefore, the normal outbound trip to the Rhine returned to China, which did not attract anyone's attention.

At that time, he was autistic and couldn't pay attention to the changes in the outside world, so he stayed at home all day long.In the eyes of outsiders, he is still immersed in the death of his parents and cannot get out.

When Rhine finally adjusted her mood, she realized that the whole world had changed in just a few months!

Resurrection of spiritual energy, return of the Lord of the Heavenly Capital, the country next door has even started to fully promote martial arts... He is obviously a member of the "time traveler", but in the end he understands the truth of the original "time travel" like many ordinary people, even #找找Tiandu, Witness the Return of the Lord of the Heavenly Capital# This kind of incident didn't get any part of the scene, and the clown was actually me?

However, perhaps because of this, he was successfully missed by the officials and became an unregistered martial arts practitioner?

——The fact that the empire seems to be controlling martial arts practitioners was also learned from his new friend who was obsessed with martial arts after he accidentally rescued Matthews, a survivor of a car accident.

Through Matthews, Rhine came into contact with the Extraordinary Forum, and probably knew that the "travelers" of the Morning Star Empire all disappeared after returning. They were not as active on the Internet as the neighbors next door, and they were suspected of being silenced or specially controlled by the high-level empire.

——This made him very vigilant!

However, although Rhine has carefully concealed the secret of his past "crossing" and his identity as a martial artist, living in this information age where personal information is difficult to keep 100% confidential, facing a huge empire, his secret It was still exposed at some point.

Until he woke up and saw the ceiling of the laboratory, he didn't know how he was exposed and how he was arrested.

——The nightmare came from this moment.

From the few words of the experimenters, Rhine learned that this research institute is probably conducting some kind of experiment on the evolution of the human body, and his physical data is different from that of ordinary people. Martial arts practitioners are equivalent to semi-finished samples that have already begun to evolve. , Whether it is to draw blood and cells as experimental materials, to bring more inspiration to researchers, or as a further strengthened experimental body, it has a very high value.

Similar choices, although he is not the only one, but many martial arts practitioners have been on the list of "missing persons", and they have returned under the watchful eyes of everyone. Many eyes are still paying attention to them. If they suddenly "disappear" again, it will be very difficult. May cause trouble.

This made the research institute dare not arrest people arbitrarily, and at most used the name of official inspection to draw some of their blood.

On the contrary, the sudden disappearance of Rhine, a wild martial arts practitioner with almost zero social relations, would not attract any investigation.

Therefore, most of the experimental subjects in the research institute are ordinary people on death row transferred from prisons. There are very few martial arts practitioners, and they are still a few secretly caught after screening by the research institute.

——This also makes them extremely valuable in the minds of researchers, and they must not be consumed easily.

— but by no means lucky.

The longer you survive in hell, the more pain you will accumulate!

The memories of these few days unconsciously appeared in his mind, and Rhine's body trembled subconsciously.

From the moment he woke up here, every drop of his blood, every cell, and every organ no longer belonged to him, but a tool played by the devil.

——Fortunately, it’s all over now!

The torrential rain washed away the sky and the earth, and gunshots rang out in the rain.

Rhine ran wildly in the rain, his fists and feet were like the coldest weapons in the world, and any obstacles that prevented him from running to freedom were torn apart and destroyed by him mercilessly.

The sound of fierce collisions, tragic wailing, the sound of bones breaking, and continuous gunfire rang out one after another.

Then, it turned into a blood color that could not be washed away by heavy rain.

huh... huh...

The free wind outside the laboratory blew across Rhine's face, and the world in sight was covered in a large amount of blood red.

Who would have thought that after rushing out of the underground research institute, he would be greeted by so many armed soldiers who had obviously received military training, and it seemed that there was an entire army stationed nearby?

What this all represents is chilling.

This also made the fire of resentment in his heart even higher.

Rainwater mixed with blood slipped from his sleeves, and unknown fragments of human tissue were still stained on his body. The man whose whole body was dyed black and red stood in a bloody mud, looking at it with eyes that seemed to tear everything apart. Everyone around him.

Surrounded in the very center, he was obviously unarmed and scarred, laughing loudly in the rainstorm, while the enemies around him with live ammunition were all pale, their eyes were slack, and every step they approached him cautiously seemed to be stepping into hell.

"……devil!"

He heard a trembling voice.

"It was you who turned me into a devil..." Rhine thought it was funny, so he really laughed out loud, "This horrible body was kicked by you!"

"—I should really repay you well!"

With his current situation, it is still too reluctant to deal with such an elite armed force.This is because those people avoided his deadly part and shot for the purpose of arresting people.

Anytime, anywhere, more reinforcements will rush over.

Rhine's eyes sank.

——Even if he can't escape in the end, he will never let these guys catch them back, at worst, let's die together!

The only pity is...

...Maybe I will live up to the expectations of my lord.

Just when Rhine was about to die together——

boom!

There was a gunshot, and someone fell to the ground in the encirclement.

Haven't waited for the others to react.

Bang bang bang bang!

The continuous gunshots are like the rising and falling piano keys, mixed with the sound of the rainstorm, and blended into a unique string.

"Get down! Get down! There are snipers!"

Someone yelled like this, and everyone started to get down on the spot or look for cover. Of course, they fired back at the source of the gunshots, and even more people tried to kill the sniper.

For a while, the scene became chaotic.

This research institute was established on the outskirts of the star capital of the Morningstar Empire, and it was deserted within a few hundred meters.On weekdays, as long as there are strangers approaching, they will be spotted immediately by the sentry in the dark, or directly monitored by the surveillance probe.

But now the torrential rain, thunder and lightning, have greatly interfered with the line of sight, and the sniper and the search for a long time have no results. Instead, from time to time, a companion will fall down and be hit in the brain and heart by bullets from nowhere. But the enemy is as hard to find as a ghost... In such a situation, even well-trained soldiers will inevitably cast a psychological shadow.

In particular, beside them, there was another experimental subject who was also killing, almost turning the surrounding area into a corpse scene, but they had to worry about the fugitive experimental subject who couldn't kill each other.

"Bang bang bang bang bang!"

"Ah ha ha ha ha ha……"

The continuous gunshots, the lunatic laughter of a certain experimental subject, the splashing of blood and brains... If anyone here is lucky enough to survive, it will surely become their nightmare for the rest of their lives.

Fortunately, reinforcements are coming soon, and the experimental body seems to be crumbling due to injuries and exhaustion, and the rest of the people rush forward—after all, it is their task to capture the experimental body.The sniper hiding in the dark was surrounded by others.

Is it enough?

...that's enough money.

Unparalleled exhaustion welled up in his brain, and Rhine was about to send himself away with the rushing people. In his blood-stained vision, he seemed to see a shadow flashing across the rainstorm.

With a pitch-black windbreaker and a pitch-black umbrella, he traveled through an unknown distance like a ghost on a rainy night, and came to Rhine in an instant. While putting one hand on his shoulder, in the other hand, the pitch-black The umbrella is raised forward.

"boom--"

·

Rhine suddenly woke up from her sleep and straightened up abruptly.

"hiss--"

This violent movement affected the wounds on his body that hadn't fully healed, and made his facial muscles twitch with pain.

The bright light outside the window shone on his face, accompanied by the breath of freedom that fascinated him.

The paleness and blood redness of the laboratory in the dream seemed to fade away without a sound, and he exhaled lightly.

No, that's not a dream!

That's what happened to him!

Obviously only one day has passed, but it seems like a lifetime away.

Rhine looked at his powerful body, as well as the bandages and gauze wrapped around his body, he twitched the corners of his mouth, and his eyes instantly became horrified.

"Are you okay? Dude." Someone knocked on the door lightly, came in with a breakfast, put it beside the bed, and reminded, "Hey, you are seriously injured, don't move around."

"When Mr. K sent you here, I really didn't expect to survive such a serious injury. What a miracle!"
