this infinite world

--WTF?

After hearing this "opening line" that he would never forget even if he died, which was so familiar that it seemed to be engraved in his DNA, Yang Yun, who had just opened his eyes and had no fear even when facing the Tongtian Ding of Fuxi, the human emperor, and was in the boundless darkness, was actually frightened to the point of trembling. He almost dropped the Shennong Measuring Ruler that he was still holding tightly in his hand.

Where the hell did I get to? Am I still in that world, or was I thrown directly into the world of Resident Evil 1?
At this moment, thousands of possibilities flashed through Yang Yun's mind, some of which were quite outrageous just to think about... But when he looked around and found that he was not in a high-speed train carriage, there were no mercenaries with guns around him, and there was no familiar "cold, shaking" touch under him, but he was in an unknown space somewhere, he breathed a sigh of relief.

This is a very strange space, even a strange space that subverts common sense. The surrounding scenes are like being immersed in a sticky liquid, blurry and unclear. Although it seems that mountains, land, rivers and other scenes can be seen, everything seems to be constantly changing into other things...

As far as the eye can see, everything is in an endless cycle of collapse and reconstruction. The towering mountains stand in the distance one second, and collapse into a sea of ​​flowers like a mirage the next; the flowers turn into a flock of startled birds in an instant, and what falls off when their wings flap is not feathers, but fine sand; before the sand and gravel fall to the ground, they have already extended into a winding river; when the river flows, what rises is not waves, but countless twinkling stars...

The most surprising thing is that these changes are not simple changes in form, but real reality. It is as if everything in the outside world is forcibly stitching together the landscapes of countless parallel worlds at a speed beyond imagination...

"——Isn't it strange?"

Just as Yang Yun was carefully looking at the situation around him, a voice suddenly sounded from near him.

He was an ordinary young man, about 20 years old, with a clean face like an ordinary student who just graduated from college. He was wearing a slightly faded dark blue hoodie and washed-out jeans, and his outfit was no different from the young people you see everywhere on the street. He also had an electric guitar hanging on his body. Although he was not playing, the guitar was still playing the melody of "Free Bird" automatically...

"...Just now you were the one imitating the Lord God and greeting me?"

Yang Yun frowned and looked him up and down. But to his surprise, he didn't see any energy fluctuations from the young man, as if he was just an ordinary rock singer.

But how is this possible? The fact that he can appear here means that he cannot be an "ordinary person" at all.

You have to know that even if Yang Yun leaves the main god space, he is still a top existence in the entire multiverse. Unless it is one of those innate saints who left an immortal reputation in the ancient epic, it is impossible for them to invade his vicinity quietly, let alone speak at such a close distance without being noticed by him.

But the young man in front of him, like a concept that emerged directly from nothingness, appeared in the core of Yang Yun's perception field without any signs. There was no spatial fluctuation, no energy ripples, and even no pre-disturbance of the causal line... It was like a piece of abnormal data that was forcibly inserted into reality, violating all common sense...

"Sorry, sorry, I didn't mean to scare you. I just wanted to try out a classic line like this for a long time..."

Seeing that Yang Yun's attitude was more defensive than enthusiastic, the young man was not annoyed. Instead, he smiled and said, "I don't think it has caused any trouble to you, has it?"

"...No, it's nothing. I just recalled some things from the past."

When Yang Yun heard this, his pupils suddenly shrank. He carefully looked at the young man in front of him. His face was completely different from his own, but it was filled with a temperament that was just as detached as his. "Are you... a farmer?"

"No, it's not." But to Yang Yun's surprise, the young man actually shook his head and denied his guess: "Although I have some relationship with Nong and have met him once, it's not him..."

"By the way, I am not his clone, or the product of his 'subtraction and emptiness'."

——You are not a farmer yourself, but you know the concept of "reducing and seeking emptiness"?

Hearing this, Yang Yun was also stunned: "Then you are——"

"you guess?"

But what Yang Yun could not have expected again was that the young man in front of him actually raised his eyebrows in a smug manner and said something quite infuriating: "If it were you, you should be able to guess one or two... You can guess it, right?"

...Another Riddler.

Suppressing a certain impulse in his heart, Yang Yun, who ran into a riddle man after waking up, began to think seriously. First of all, since he knew the most famous line in "Infinite Horror", it proved that he, like Yang Yun, knew the "truth" to some extent, or could see what happened in other world lines. And if this young man is not Nong, then who could he be...

"...Oh yeah, that mark."

When Yang Yun recalled the mark that Da Yunyang had given him through Zhang Jie, which was no longer glowing, he suddenly remembered one thing, that is, his coming here now was obviously related to that spatial coordinate, and it was even very likely that Da Yunyang had planned it...

"That is to say..."

Yang Yun's brows were deeply locked, and his memory quickly recalled every important character in "Magic Century" like turning the pages of a book. Although the companions around Da Yunyang, such as Xie Rusi, Mu Xi Ni Xin, and Rui Ge Yu Ya, were all amazingly talented, they were ultimately at the Godly Heaven Realm, which was only the level of a primary saint. And the only one as mysterious as this guy, I'm afraid...

"It seems that you have already guessed who I am... Really, I wanted to keep you in suspense."

Seeing Yang Yun's frown gradually relax, it seemed that he had found the answer. The young man, who realized that his identity had probably been exposed, couldn't help but sigh: "But it doesn't matter. After all, as a 'companion' who does not belong to this multiverse, it is normal for you to sense the incongruity in me..."

As he said this, the young man snapped his fingers again, and the melody played by the electric guitar automatically turned into the famous "Eruption". In the accompaniment of this passionate music, the young man smiled and said: "Let me introduce myself, my name is Lin Xuwen..."

"...an ordinary spectator of the world." (End of this chapter)
