this infinite world

Zhang Heng felt that he was in a very strange state.

Apart from being frightened by the female Lich King who suddenly appeared before him at the beginning, ever since Zhang Heng saw two Chu Xuans appear before him and realized that he had traveled to the online novel he wrote, titled "Infinite Horror", Zhang Heng's consciousness seemed to be separated from this world by a thick barrier.

Of course, this sentence does not mean that Zhang Heng’s identity has changed unknowingly like Xun Ge’er, but it is simply the literal meaning.

Zhang Heng was still able to think. He could see, hear, smell, and maintain his sense of touch. His life activities and motor abilities were not affected at all.

——But, that’s all.

Zhang Heng was now watching everything happening around him from a third-person perspective. He could hear the voices of the people around him, but he couldn't control his body to respond. He could feel the things in the outside world, the wind blowing on his face, but he couldn't react to it or really describe what it felt like. He could feel his hands and feet, but he couldn't use his brain to command them to move. He could only hold his head and bury his body like a frightened child, mumbling something he didn't even know what it meant...

...It's like, a ghost.

One is trapped in the body named "Zhang Heng", and the other is a ghost that descended from a higher-dimensional world.

Is this an illusion? Or is it a sequelae of time travel? Or is it a necessary step for high-dimensional creatures to be demoted to a low-dimensional world?
Zhang Heng didn't know, and wasn't sure... But what was undeniable was that this body was indeed the same body he had before he clicked the "Do you want to understand the meaning of life? Do you want to truly live?" dialog box. Even the cotton slippers and pajamas on his feet were exactly the same. No matter how you looked at it, he was a completely ordinary person, no different from ordinary people.

But where are such ordinary people? You have to know that this is the apocalyptic world in Resident Evil 3, where humans are almost extinct. Not to mention whether there are T viruses in the air that are enough to turn people into zombies, even if there are countless immortals and saints fighting in the sky, the aftermath of one billionth is enough to tear an unarmed ordinary person to pieces...

Even if the people around Zhang Heng kindly helped him block the aftermath of the battle, no one could completely block out the garish, loud hymns and the huge pressure covering the entire plane, right? In this case, he was not affected at all. It can only be said that Zhang Heng did have some special secrets as the "author".

Of course, Zhang Heng's fear was not fake - any online writer who was drinking Coke and singing songs, and was about to turn on the computer to play a game, suddenly encountered a time travel, and happened to travel to the book he wrote, and fell into the hands of two perfect wise men and crazy scientists who had no concept of human emotions, would not react much better than Zhang Heng. Especially Zhang Heng's time travel, it was obvious that there was an unclear relationship between the two Chu Xuans...

...No, it’s not “relationship”, maybe this was planned by them!

Zhang Heng realized this, but he could do nothing. The two Chu Xuans seemed to understand this, so after looking at each other, they actually left Zhang Heng, the positive one, aside and found a baby-faced young man who had the same face as him and was also called "Zhang Heng" to take care of him.

Take care of him? Maybe. At least compared to directly dragging him into the laboratory as a guinea pig, Zhang Heng of the Zhongzhou team still retained some goodwill. He would try to communicate with Zhang Heng, although everything fell on deaf ears.

As time went by, everyone could see that the situation was getting worse and worse, and Adam's resurrection seemed to be the last straw that broke the camel's back. After the young man left, Zhang Heng of the Zhongzhou team seemed to have made up his mind and said to Zhang Heng:

"Would you like to be a coward for the rest of your life, or would you like to be a hero for once..."

"Even if it's only for five seconds."

Hero? Me?

Zhang Heng has never been a hero. He has always been a cowardly person. His academic performance is not very good. Apart from his talent in writing novels and the "superpower" that he has no use for for a long time, he has no other advantages. He is not popular with women and does not have many friends...

...But Zhang Heng had actually heard this sentence once before.

It was in a five-on-five game called dota. The opponent's level was significantly higher than Zhang Heng's Scourge. Before long, Zhang Heng and his teammates were in a tough battle, suppressed from beginning to end. After 30 minutes, the Scourge had even been pushed to the gate of their base by five opponents and was about to lose the game.

Under this huge disadvantage, Zhang Heng even lit a cigarette and planned to take his hands off the keyboard and give up resistance. This was also what he really thought in his heart - it was just a game, so if he lost, he lost. What difference would it make?
——Until Zhang Heng saw the mid laner on his side, who was also the most skilled Shadow Fiend among the five players, and he resolutely sold some of his equipment and instead took out a Blink Dagger and a brand new Black King Bar.

(Blink Dagger, equivalent to flash within 1200 yards; Black King Bar, BKB, can make people immune to magic.)
"Are you crazy?" Seeing Shadow Fiend make such an unwise move, Zhang Heng immediately typed in the chat bar: "You don't play games anymore? You're selling equipment like this?"

"It's precisely because I want to win that I want this set of equipment."

The next moment, Shadow Demon's typed reply came from the dialog box: "I will go up to sell first, remember to follow me."

"Hold on, this one can turn around."

——He is right.

No one could have expected that the Scourge, which had been nearly defeated, would have the courage to take the initiative to attack; no one could have expected that Shadow Fiend would sell the equipment he had worked so hard to get at half price and instead take out these two pieces of equipment.

At the moment when the five opponents stepped onto the high ground, accompanied by the flash of the jumping knife and the sound effects of the gods descending to the earth sounded in the headphones, the brilliance of the Soul Requiem exploded among the crowd!
The Scourge successfully wiped out the other team, and took advantage of the other team's carelessness and lack of gold to launch a counterattack. In the end, they became more and more courageous and completed a truly amazing comeback. After the game ended, the second half of the sentence that the Shadow Fiend said in the dialog box was also firmly remembered by Zhang Heng -

"You need more than just courage, but..."

“…A cry from the bottom of my heart!”

Watching Zhang Heng of the Zhongzhou team returning to his origin and resolutely joining the battlefield, something seemed to awaken in Zhang Heng. The young man howled wildly, imitating the actions of his other self without hesitation, and rushed forward with a punch!

As this punch was thrown, the invisible and intangible barrier that blocked Zhang Heng's communication with himself and the world...

With a snap, it shattered completely! (End of this chapter)
