I am eighteen years old this year. Although I have not yet fully entered the peak moment of being a martial artist, I have reached my current limit with my hard work. However, based on this limit, I can still be three times or even five times stronger? This is too outrageous in any case, making me wonder if there is any misunderstanding.

However, this is indeed the fact that I feel. I thought I was approaching the end of my physical fitness, but I didn’t want to survive in a desperate situation, but I actually discovered the road ahead in this place.

Maybe I am about to embark on an unprecedented path. That's what I think.

But it is too early to be happy. Before I could appreciate the current situation, I couldn't help but withdraw from the "Zero-turn-to-all" mode. Obviously, I am still not skilled enough in the "Zero-turn-to-all" mode now. Not only can I guarantee that I can enter every time, but even if I am lucky enough to enter, I cannot maintain it for a long time.

Generally speaking, it can only last for two or three seconds. If it is in excellent condition, it can last for five seconds. This is my current level.

This is not something that can be used as a training tool.

At this time, Hu Ma came to me, and it seemed that something was wrong, "Mr. Faceless Man..."

"gentlemen?"

"I just call him a faceless man and I don't feel respectful enough."

"Just call me like before." I said, "Is there anything wrong?"

He nodded solemnly, "That's right, I discovered a very amazing secret!"

"You said." I focused.

"This is actually a dream!" he said with confidence.

This sentence that you should have discovered from the beginning surged from my throat, but I immediately gave up criticism of him. It was already worthy of praise for being able to find that this was something he deserved. It is difficult for people who have never been trained to find themselves dreaming, even if they are not as unusual as themselves.

"Yes, this is a dream. If nothing unexpected happens, this is a dream in the era of hell catastrophe, and it is likely that the dream monsters are at work." I told him.

"Hell Catastrophe... No wonder there are so many living dead people here." Instead, he was surprised, "And, you said dream monsters... wait, aren't you actually dreaming about me?"

It turned out that he thought I was a dummy who was dreaming of by him... But now, I can't even raise the enthusiasm for whispering in my heart, so I just nodded and admitted.

"That is, you are also in the rest town in reality?" he said in confusion. "Why are you here? Did you come to hunt down the psychic criminal?"

"That's right." I accepted the reason he gave me.

"Can I help you?" he asked enthusiastically.

"Aren't you looking for that young man named Xu Fu?" I said, "Besides, we must try to get out of this dream first."

"Of course, it was after escaping with Xu Fu." He nodded repeatedly, "I have wanted to punish criminals with you a long time ago. Although it is particularly inappropriate as a policeman,... I really want to act with you and save those kind citizens from the hands of those evil criminals..."

He showed a longing, "I even often imagined how great it would be if I were your partner..."

"It's still free." I interrupted him.

Upon hearing this, his dog's ears drooped in depression.

"It's almost time to rest." I turned around and left, "It's time to set off."

Whether it is to try to get out of the dream or to help him "find Xu Fu", it is necessary to start by investigating the surrounding areas.

He nodded and wanted to leave the messy grocery store with me. At this moment, he suddenly stopped moving and his eyes were firmly nailed to somewhere.

I was always alert. Seeing that he suddenly had something abnormal, I immediately stopped moving forward and reflexively turned my eyes to the corner of the grocery store where he was looking, and a coin fell on the ground.

A faint red light appeared on the surface of the coin, which was particularly conspicuous in the darkness. I didn't realize what was going on at the first time. What did this strange coin symbolize? I just felt that I should stay away from such things that were unknown as soon as possible. A second of precious time passed by.

But fortunately, in the next second, I finally understood why this coin shone red with my own knowledge. Although this wasted second was precious, it did not result in bitter fruit.

I kicked Hu Ma to the ground.

He was forced to divert his sight from the coins and finally got out of his state of motionlessness like plaster.

I pulled him up from the ground, turned around and ran without saying a word.

We ran for a long distance and attracted the dead on the road, but we managed to get rid of them all. After stopping in a secluded place, I breathed a sigh of relief, while he was confused, as if he hadn't figured out what was going on, "What happened just now? When I saw that coin, I suddenly couldn't move or think, and I only knew to stare at that coin..."

"That's not a coin." I was also a little scared, "that's probably the 'three-second shadow'."

"What is that?" he wondered.

"It is a dead soul that can disguise itself as a common object," I explained. "No matter how powerful a psychic is, once you see it, you will immediately fall into a situation where you cannot move or think, and if you look at it for more than three seconds, you will die three days ago."

"Wait, die three days ago?" He was stunned. "Didn't you die three days later?"

"It was three days ago," I said, "It was the one who was killed in the past, and the one who is now will become dead for three days, and the timeline will be reorganized as a result. If it weren't for a very high-level psychic, it wouldn't even realize that the 'now' has been changed."

"Can even change the past?" He said dumbfoundedly, "This is not the case, right? You can meet such a powerful undead so simply..."

"Of course our luck is not that bad," I said, "just because of that feeling of the undead is everywhere in the era of Hell."

"It's everywhere..." He seemed unable to think anymore.

"Reversal of time and space, manipulate cause and effect, tamper with logic, and even shake the basic rules that are not yet known to some humans, but are crucial to the universe... These are the abilities common to the undead in the era of hell and catastrophe." I said slowly, "Far from the undead who live in the surface world, those who come from the deep crust and even from the mantle, even if they look weak, may have some unreasonable characteristics."

The most terrifying one is undoubtedly the "Doomsday God".

If the undead born in the surface world is a "monster", then the undead from the depths of the earth's crust and mantle is the "ghost" in the horror story.

Although the former generally has the ability to be immortal and speeding regeneration, it can be destroyed no matter what, while the latter is simply inexplicable. Take the shadow of the three-second just now. The coin I saw may not even be its body, it may be just the shadow of its body projected into the three-dimensional world in a higher dimension.

What makes people feel most tingling is (and what makes people confused about why humans have not completely extinct in this era): the total number of such inexplicable undead in the era of hell is even far more than that of humans, and it is emerging from the ground all the time, and only a few of them have been discovered.

"But isn't this a dream? The shadow of the three-second shadow just now can't really change the past and kill us..." He said carefully, "And when you see it, weren't you also not hit?"

"Even if this kind of undead is drawn with ordinary paint, it may be reborn from the painting strangely, let alone dreaming?" I shook my head, "As for me, the reason why I didn't get hit just now is just because the three-second shadow has a rule that only targets one person at a time. If you or I encounter it alone, you will definitely die."

He fell into a long silence, as if he finally realized the dangerous predicament he was in. But after a moment, he suddenly said: "We must find Xu Fu as soon as possible."

"What?"

"He must be very scared now," he said firmly, "I must rescue him from here as soon as possible!"

"But you can't even protect yourself," I said.

He shook his head vigorously.

Just as he was about to say something, his dog's ears suddenly stood up, "Someone!"

"Where?" I asked alertly.

"Not here." He said, "It should be two or three streets not far from here..."

The more he said, the less confident he was, "Maybe it was my illusion?"

"Is this information you got with inspiration?" I asked.

"Probably...but my inspiration is not very sharp..." he said in a low voice.

"Go and take a look." I said, "maybe it's Xu Fu you are looking for."

This is naturally not my true words. I just want to find clues to escape from this dream. The "people who suddenly appear" may be related to it. At the same time, I have not forgotten to be alert, because there may be the dead there, releasing some information that can mislead inspiration.

We moved over there.

After a while, we saw the people over there.

To be precise, it is "people".

There were three people in total, although they were different in clothes, but they all wore helmets and gloves, knee pads and elbow pads, and covered their skin with long-sleeved trousers. They were carrying huge backpacks, and they looked like a doomsday survivor. They were moving forward with caution, as if they would burst out of the shadow at any time and bite them all into pieces.

Hu Ma hid at the corner and whispered: "Xu Fu doesn't seem to be there."

Because Xu Fu is next to you. I thought to myself, and said, "Look and see first."

"Yes." He obediently did it.

Unexpectedly, just over a dozen seconds later, the three people over there noticed us. The leader made a gesture, the other two stopped, and the leader shouted to the side: "Who is there?"

It seems that we have really noticed us, not bluffing. The leader continued, "I am a psychic with the specialty of detection. Are you living people? Everyone is survivors, so there is no need to hide. Please come out."

"Are we going out?" Hu Ma asked me tentatively.

Now that things have come to this point, there is no need to continue hiding. I took him out. The leader looked at us and focused on observing Hu Ma in strange clothes, and then said, "You have never seen the face, are you from outside the town?"

"That's right." I said.

"We found some burnt living dead people on another street before. What did you do?" he asked.

Hu Ma hesitated slightly and looked at me. I nodded to him. He turned to the leader and said, "It's me."

"I am frank, for the sake of our safety, I must ask another question. I hope you must not lie. I have a way to detect lies." The leader asked solemnly, "Are you Zoroastrians?"
