Age of Heroes, 10-game winning streak

Bai Yu leaned back in his chair, looking at the information he had just searched. In the past, he would have thought it was absurd, but now he just felt it was very real. In a sense, his situation could be considered as reincarnation, right?

But luckily, I didn’t drink Meng Po soup.

Because he didn't leave behind any achievements in his previous life, he couldn't awaken as a heroic spirit.

"Once again, I've confirmed that I've arrived in a truly magical world." Bai Yu pondered, "However, if every Heroic Spirit bloodline has high potential, then why do the Heroic Spirits displayed here have different rarity levels? Doesn't this just reflect the strength of their potential?"

"Or perhaps the true Heroic Bloodline and the Heroic Spirit projection I summoned are not the same thing?"

He continued browsing the web and searched for keywords such as heroic spirit projection, but did not get a more precise answer.

He thought about it, paused for a few seconds, and then typed out another line of text - the feasibility of reincarnation.

Click on the search, and the first result displayed is - I advise you to face the reality, and don't think about starting your life over again. Reincarnation has not been determined yet, and even if you become a heroic spirit, you cannot control what world you will go to next... For everyone, there is only one life, and the road of life is long and difficult, so don't always try to take shortcuts.

After turning off the terminal screen, Bai Yu lay on the bed again.

It was already the second day, and he was beginning to miss home.

Chapter 23 A Dream

I closed my eyes and slowly sorted out my confused thoughts.

It was not until now that he had time to start thinking about his family's reactions after the car accident.

Actually, I can guess... everyone will be very sad.

Bai Yu's family is happy. He has lived in a big family since he was a child. There are more than 20 people in the family. There are no conflicts. They love each other and support each other. The elderly are good at managing the family. They are all highly educated people and get along well with each other. Some of them are so close that they don't want to live apart.

Such a big family lived in harmony for decades, but the first one to leave was Bai Yu, a dark-haired person...

Grandpa and grandma will be very sad.

Bai Yu felt a little sad when he thought of the old man seeing his body lying in the morgue.

Being a stranger in a foreign land... Not everyone can accept time travel. All the accumulation of more than 20 years is reduced to zero in one day, and you have to choose a new starting point to start over. Who can think of doing something against the will of heaven as soon as they open their eyes?

Besides, this world is so dangerous.

This kind of lonely emptiness and speechless fear will only come to you when you are alone in the dead of night. It will just look at you silently, and all the seemingly strong weapons will collapse in an instant with just one glance.

Bai Yu knew he couldn't let this emotion consume him. He closed his eyes silently and said to himself, "Go to sleep. When you sleep, everything will be gone."

After tossing and turning for more than half a night, I lay down and closed my eyes, then I felt the fatigue gradually coming over me, quickly paralyzing my nerves which were still in a state of fear and excitement. My whole body seemed to be wrapped and submerged in a layer of water.

The dark waves covered the consciousness, and it drifted away along with the waves, like a message in a bottle rising and falling with the waves.

He fell asleep.

But it is not as beautiful as imagined.

In a daze, he walked onto a familiar street. There were cars driving on the bumpy road. There was a row of shops on the left and another row of shops on the right.

He walked along the road. In a breakfast shop, steamers were stacked high. The couple who owned the shop were working briskly. A little girl with braids was eating tofu pudding mouthful by mouthful nearby. A middle-aged man in another auto repair shop had his hands covered in motor oil, which was always black and could never be wiped clean. Another small shop had just opened. An old lady was yawning and stretching. The pool table in front was empty, with a few newspapers on it but no billiard balls.

He continued walking forward and found a courtyard after turning the corner. There was a very old banyan tree in the courtyard. There were two lounge chairs under the banyan tree. When basking in the sun, they would move to the right, and when avoiding the shade, they would move to the left. Its position rotated throughout the year, and which direction it turned to correspond to which season. The lounge chair had some thoughts. It would make a squeaking sound when lying on it, but after getting used to it, it sounded like the chirping of cicadas in summer, a bit harsh but also with some artistic conception. If you can't hear it, you always feel like something is missing. There was a bench between the two lounge chairs, with a teacup on the bench, and an old radio in front of the bench.

Surrounding the banyan tree is a circle of two-story houses, forming a courtyard. Each one seems to have a different decoration style, and each house has its own symbol placed at the door.

Bai Yu walked around in his place, then walked under the banyan tree and stood in front of the lounge chair, staring at the empty yard.

He knew he was dreaming.

I also know that I can never go back here. There are no elderly people sitting on the recliners, the radio is silent, there are no familiar figures busy at the doors of every house, and no friendly smiles of relatives.

The branches of this old banyan tree are empty and there is no swing, because the person who loved swinging on it can no longer go back.

He squatted in front of the recliner and suddenly burst into tears.

……

I cried in my dream, but I thought it was just a dream.

He didn't know why he could remain so lucid even in his dreams.

Perhaps it was because he traveled through time and space and gained a mental strength far beyond that of ordinary people.

After he finished crying, he calmed down a little.

Although a dream can easily make an adult who claims to be rational burst into tears, and although they clearly know that they are facing a distance as far as life and death.

The wood is done.

People should look forward, this is the family motto of the Bai family.

My grandparents said, don’t stay where you are.

Bai Yu stroked the banyan tree and put on a new layer of armor for his heart. He was an adult and had experienced society. Moreover, he had awakened his talent and had his own bottom line rule. This was not a bad start. Missing his relatives did not mean that he was weak.

It's time to say goodbye and wake up.

He said to himself in his heart.

Bai Yu thought it was time to open his eyes and wake up from the dream.

His consciousness quickly emerged and broke away from the dream, but as his consciousness returned to his body, he felt something strange.

A hand was caressing his face.

hand?

Whose hand?

It can't be my own hand.

Bai Yu opened his eyes immediately and really saw a person sitting beside the bed, reaching out to touch his face. Because of his tears, his vision was a little blurry.

He didn't even have time to see who it was before he was caught in a tight hug.

The fragrance of gardenia instantly hits you.

Bai Yu was greatly shocked.

He was a little confused. Rather than feeling secretly happy, he felt more shocked and confused. He had no idea what was going on. Who was this woman and why did he hug her?

The other person not only hugged him, but also stroked the back of his head with both hands and patted his back, as if comforting a frightened child who couldn't sleep.

"It's okay, it's all okay, it's all over."

"Auntie is here, don't be afraid."

Bai Yu heard an extremely gentle voice, and his panicked mind gradually calmed down. After regaining his rationality, he analyzed that it should be a relative of this body. It was obvious that they had a very close relationship, even doting.

After all, I never received such treatment in my previous life. The Bai family has been beating their children on rainy days for generations - they have nothing to do anyway.

Because spoiling a child and spoiling him/her are two different things.

Bai Yu's tense mood relaxed a little, but he soon realized that this was not going to work.

The situation has become a major contradiction between the increasingly thin oxygen and one's own breathing needs.

He quickly clapped his hands to signal the other party to let go.

"It's okay, just act a little more coquettishly, and don't handle the problem alone." The woman had no idea that the clapping was a signal for her to let go.

...If this goes on, I'm going to suffocate!

Bai Yu had to push forward hard and then lower his head to break free. He distanced himself at an extremely fast speed and rushed into the bathroom to wash his face.

Only after returning to the living room did he see clearly who the visitor was.

It was a woman in home clothes with a beige shawl draped over her shoulders.

It looks familiar.

But there is no doubt that Bai Yu does not know the other party.

The reason why it looks familiar is because I feel like I've seen it somewhere before...

By the way, Su Ruoli.

Her facial features are very similar to Su Ruoli's, with a similarity of about 60% to 70%. Both of them have similar temperaments. Judging from their age and appearance, they are most likely mother and daughter.

Su Ruoli is also the boy's childhood sweetheart, so it is reasonable for her to know each other's parents.

Although he made a quick judgment, it was a pity that Bai Yu didn't know the other person's name... If it was Su Ruoli's biological father, it would be easy to call him, but it was impossible to guess what her mother's name was.

No normal person would imitate Tang Sanzang and ask your mother what her surname is.

Bai Yu couldn't find a suitable opening line for a moment. He scratched his cheek and said, "Good morning."

The middle-aged woman smiled and said, "It's already noon. I brought lunch because I saw you didn't reply. You must be hungry. Go brush your teeth. I'll go heat up the chicken soup."

Bai Yu paused, then asked, "Before that, can I ask..."

"what?"

"What's your name?"

The thermos in the woman's hand fell to the ground with a clanging sound.

She stood there in a daze, her eyes filled with panic: "Yujing... please don't scare Auntie, don't you remember me?"

Chapter 24: Hell Strength, Boy!

The woman's name was Shang Ming'e.

My husband’s name is Su Haoran.

He has two daughters, the youngest is named Su Ruoli.

He and Bai Yu's family are old friends.

Shang Ming'e and Bai Yu's mother are sworn sisters; the latter is also Su Haoran's cousin.

Su Ruoli and the young Bai Yu grew up together as childhood sweethearts and have had a very good relationship since childhood.

Shang Ming'e did not say much about the young Bai Yu's parents. She only mentioned that since the death of Bai Yu's mother, Shang Ming'e and Su's father have been responsible for taking care of him for seven or eight years.

As for where my father went... basically no mention was made.

Shang Ming'e mentioned that the young Bai Yu's grandfather, Bai Pojun, is still traveling around the world. He has been away from Daxia for ten years. If he hadn't mailed some things back from time to time, no one would know where he is.

The young Bai Yu was almost raised as a son by the couple.

He only moved back here after he started high school, and before that he lived in Su's house.

Because it is closer to the school.

Su Ruoli also often comes here to visit.

One of the rooms in this house is also Su Ruoli's private bedroom.

Bai Yu noticed that the door was locked, but he couldn't find the key to open it. It was obviously requisitioned by Su Ruoli personally.

Shang Ming'e wiped her tears as she spoke. Her sadness was not pretended, but a deep and incomparable sorrow.

In just a few days, the domesticated cabbage disappeared and the piglets fell into a coma. When they woke up, they had forgotten themselves.

For Su's mother, this was already a great mental blow. Fortunately, Bai Yu's speech and manners are now natural and he doesn't seem to have become a mentally retarded person who can only speak in babbling. Otherwise, she would be even more sad.

Bai Yu was eating lunch and drinking chicken soup while listening to Shang Ming'e introduce her experience. He was filling in the relevant information about his identity.

With amnesia as a death warrant, Bai Yu's claim of memory loss is well-founded and will not arouse suspicion.

"Rest at home for the next few days and don't go out. I should have come to see you yesterday, but the meeting with the parents took up quite a bit of time." Shang Ming'e checked the time and stood up to leave. She said with some concern, "It's not safe out there, and there are a lot of people out there who might be interested... Order takeout if you want to eat, or tell me and I'll make it for you."

Her words were suggestive, as if hinting that there was someone outside with ulterior motives.

Is it the journalists with no professional ethics, the self-media outlets that only know how to follow the trend and create anxiety? Or is it the parents who are emotionally overwhelmed by the loss of their children?

Bai Yu nodded in agreement, as he happened to not be planning to go out today.

Mother Su was still a little reluctant to leave, but the calls from the terminal kept urging her. She hung up the phone, her face full of anger, but when she turned to look at the boy, her expression immediately softened. She walked out the door: "Auntie is leaving first, you take good care of yourself, and be sure to call me if you have anything, do you hear?"

Bai Yu walked him to the door, and when he walked down half a flight of stairs, he suddenly said, "Su Ruoli will be fine."

Shang Ming'e paused, she looked at Bai Yu and smiled gently, "Auntie knows you've worked very hard... Thank you."

The figure gradually walked away with the sound of footsteps going down the stairs.

Su's mother's eyes made Bai Yu have some associations. He felt that the news of his nine consecutive memory recalls yesterday might have reached the ears of the Su family.

So her attitude appears particularly gentle?
