Earth 2043, Xia Kingdom, Jiangzhou City.

Jiangzhou City is a large city in the central part of the Xia Kingdom. It is located on both sides of the Tianjiang River. It has many mountains and lakes, but it has easy water transportation. It has the reputation of Yunmeng River City in ancient times.

Today, the weather is sunny and white clouds are like brocade. Winter has just ended and the climate is slightly cold.

A few days ago, Xia Kingdom had just celebrated the Lantern Festival, and it was the busiest time of the year again. The streets of Jiangzhou City were crowded with people, and the cars on the road stopped every ten steps, making it extremely crowded.

In Jiangling District, at the entrance of a residential area, a young man with a melancholy look and a black windbreaker got out of a taxi.

This young man is about 25 years old, with a slender figure, handsome appearance, fair skin, and long shawl hair. He is not particularly tall, estimated to be less than 1.75 meters.

The young man's appearance is the type that is more common in the southern region of Xia Kingdom. He cannot be said to be particularly handsome, but he is not particularly ugly either.

He pulled his suitcase and bag on his back and walked into the community.

"Hey! I'm finally back. It's more comfortable and quiet to live outside." The young man let out a heavy sigh as he looked at the community.

This suffocating breath felt like I had been holding it in for a long time. After I let it out, I felt more energetic.

The young man's name is Su Yun, 27 years old, from Jiangzhou City, but he is not from the urban area of ​​Jiangzhou City. Jiangzhou City has a large administrative area, including urban areas, suburbs, and rural areas.

More than 20 years ago, in order to cope with some changes in the future, Xia State abolished the original provincial system and changed it to a regional and municipal system. In the past, Xia State had more than 20 provinces, but now there are only 5.

They are Zhongzhou region, Beiyuan region, Jiangnan region, Donghai region, and Xihuang region.

These five regions happen to occupy the five directions of Xia Kingdom and belong to equal-level regional units. Within each region, the city is the urban unit, and then each city is further divided into urban areas, suburbs and rural areas.

Su Yun's hometown is in a rural area a hundred kilometers away, so he was born in the countryside. He just returned to the city after celebrating the New Year at home.

Judging from his appearance, he didn't seem to be having a very happy year this year.

But it's normal, because he is at the most uncomfortable age in life. Work, marriage, parents, nothing is something he can easily deal with.

Su Yun walked forward. The community where he lived was still very quiet. He and his best friend from college rented an entire apartment with two bedrooms, one living room, one kitchen and one bathroom.

The monthly rent is close to 4,000, which is about 2,000 per person.

Today is a happy day for Su Yun. After all, she no longer needs to listen to family gossip for a year.

It's just that he seems a bit unlucky today.

Because just when Su Yun was about to arrive downstairs where she lived, an accident happened.

I saw a stone flying over from the blind spot of Su Yun's sight and hitting Su Yun directly on the forehead.

This moment, Su Yun was stunned. He instinctively took a few steps back, then raised his hand and touched his forehead.

But fortunately, the person who threw the stone didn't seem to be very strong, and the skin on his forehead was only broken.

Su Yun looked at her palm and saw a small amount of blood on it, then she looked in a certain direction angrily.

Unfortunately, he didn't see the person he wanted to see, but he heard the sound of children playing in that direction.

"Damn, did you make a mistake? This is a good start. Hey! Whose naughty kid is throwing things around and hitting someone? Where are the parents?" Su Yun shouted a few times in annoyance.

Unfortunately, no one responded to him.

Seeing that no one responded for a long time, Su Yun sighed helplessly. He lowered his head and glanced at the ground, wanting to see what hit him.

He searched carefully and soon saw a small rock on the ground, which should be some kind of relatively soft stone.

Because the stone was broken and only a small piece was still intact, Su Yun picked up the still intact stone.

"Fortunately, it's just a very brittle stone. If it were hard, I can't imagine the consequences." Su Yun was frightened for a while.

This is a typical example of him not looking at the almanac when he goes out.

Su Yun casually crushed the remaining stone, but when he was about to throw it away, a purple-gold light flashed in his sight.

"Eh? What is this?" Su Yun discovered that there was a purple glass bead in the granite she crushed.

Su Yun threw away the gravel and took out the glass beads alone. The beads were very beautiful, with a purple color overall, and under the sunlight, you could see streaks of golden light in the beads.

"What a strange light, but the light inside looks like a person?" Su Yun was a little confused.

And for some reason, Su Yun's attention was inexplicably attracted to the figure inside the bead, and she fell into a sluggish state for a while.

"hehe……"

Just when Su Yun was attracted by the figure in the glass bead, bursts of delicate female laughter suddenly came to her ears. This laughter made Su Yun shiver inexplicably, but she immediately returned to herself.

"Where did the laughter come from?" Su Yun put down the beads and looked around.

But there was no girl passing by around. To be precise, there wasn't even a single figure. Su Yun thought that he might have heard wrong, so he sighed and went upstairs.

A few minutes later, Su Yun opened the door to his residence and walked in. As soon as he entered, he heard movement inside the house, so Su Yun shouted.

"Hey! Lao Wang, why are you here earlier than me?"

The Lao Wang in Su Yun's mouth is naturally his best friend in college, named Wang Ling. After graduating from college, they went out to find a job together and have been living together ever since.

The two of them have been friends for almost ten years. They have lived in the same dormitory since their freshman year. They are absolute buddies. They can almost be called brothers with different surnames.

Not long after Su Yun's voice fell, a tall young man wearing glasses walked out. This was a young man who looked relatively strong, and was bigger than Su Yun.

"Oops? My second brother, I haven't seen you for a month, it's like three autumns. Come and let me give you a long-lost hug." Wang Ling said as he rushed towards Su Yun with a teasing tone.

Su Yun's expression froze, and then she quickly raised her hand.

"Wait, stop it, stop being disgusting with me, and don't call me dick, I don't like this title." Su Yun's mouth twitched.

Wang Ling laughed and looked disapproving, but when he got closer to Su Yun, he stopped joking slightly because he found a scar on Su Yun's forehead.

"You are ranked second in the dormitory. What is it if you are not the second oldest? Let's not talk about it for now. What's wrong with your forehead? Why does it look like you just knocked it?" Wang Ling asked.

As soon as she said this, Su Yun instinctively touched her forehead, and then sighed unhappily.

"Hey! Forget it, I was hit by some kid with a rock downstairs just now." Su Yun replied unhappily.

When Wang Ling heard this, his expression immediately became serious.

"Then we have to check the surveillance to see which little bastard did it?" Wang Ling said.

"Eh? Well, I think we should forget it. It's too much trouble. Let's not talk about it for now. I'll put my luggage away for a while." Su Yun smiled awkwardly, then took her luggage back to the room.

As for the royal tomb, he followed after closing the door.

"Hey! I mean, the second brother should be held accountable. This is for your own good and that kid's good." Wang Ling said leaning against the door of Su Yun's room.

Su Yun sighed.

"Oh, I got it, but you also know that it's just an apology at most. What's the use? It's just a small scrape, it doesn't count as a minor injury. Can I still ask him to pay the medical bills?" Su Yun He replied while packing his things.

When Wang Ling heard this, he immediately rolled his eyes.

"This is not a matter of losing money, hey! Forget it, I'm too lazy to tell you. You can just live like this for the rest of your life. You won't regret it until you suffer a big loss. Take a rest and go out for a meal with me tonight." Wang Ling complained. one sentence, and then returned to his room.

After Su Yun packed her luggage, she walked to the bathroom and took a look at the injury on her forehead. It wasn't a big wound, it was just a little bit of skin, but it didn't bleed much.

"Fortunately, it's okay. I'm really tired from the car ride. Lao Wang, I'll take a bath and sleep. You can call me when you go out at night." Su Yun said.

Wang Ling agreed casually.

It was only noon, still a few hours before night.

Su Yun returned to the room again and took out everything in his pocket. As soon as he took it out, he turned over the beads he picked up not long ago.

"Hey, didn't I lose this thing? Forget it, it's quite beautiful, you can keep it for fun." Su Yun put the beads on the bedside table, and then started to take off her clothes.

Just when Su Yun was taking off her clothes, something strange happened.

The bead with its back to him began to emit an inexplicable light.

Is this thing a night pearl? Or is it doped with phosphor? Otherwise, why would he take the initiative to emit such light?

Su Yun seemed to have caught something with her peripheral vision, so she quickly turned her head and glanced behind her. Unfortunately, as soon as he turned around, the brilliance of the bead was gone.

"It's weird, am I dazzled?" Su Yun muttered with a puzzled look on her face.

Of course he didn't pay much attention.

After taking off her clothes, Su Yun walked into the bathroom wearing only her underwear, and then started to take a shower. But after Su Yun left the room, she saw that the bead lit up even more brilliantly.

More than that, these streams of light seemed to be alive, gathering together in one place, and finally transformed into a woman wearing blue ancient costume.

This is still a very beautiful woman, with an oval face, red lips, and a pattern between her eyebrows, and she looks like an ancient person.

After the mysterious woman appeared, she first looked around blankly, and then sighed softly.

What's even weirder is that this woman is like a ghost, floating around the room casually, and even leaves the room and flies out the window. However, when she sees the world outside the window, her expression is stunned.

Her red lips moved slightly, as if she was saying something.
