Chapter 1 Rubik's Cube Pendant

"It is forbidden to play games privately, prohibit the collection of comic books, and the production of any non-modern human image pictures, and the death penalty for violators!"

A huge red laser sign flashed on the top of the broken department store, reflecting the dark sky before dawn, as if it were the only blood flag in the black and white world, which was particularly dazzling.

"Hmm!" Luo Han snorted softly, withdrew his disdainful eyes from the slogan, and glanced around alertly.

In the slightly white light in the early morning, Luo Han's eyes carefully glanced around. The snow in the past few days had not dissipated, and the ruins of the dilapidated buildings were covered with a thick layer of "white cotton jackets" and "white cotton jackets" were very smooth. Luo Han did not see any marks left by animals on it. It seemed that this suburb was quite safe.

Luo Han exhaled a mouthful of white heat. The cat lowered his waist and came out from behind the low wall. He did not dare to walk in the middle of the street, but carefully walked along the broken gap between the buildings to the department store on the corner of the street.

Luo Han wears a pair of patches and patches, rotten rubber travel shoes. The original LOGO logo on the upper has been worn out and can't be seen clearly, like a small hook, and like a cross figure. The sole is symmetrically tied with a few thin wooden strips, so that it will be left on the snow when you step on it. A strange footprint, so that even if the patrolled soldiers see the footprints, they will not be regarded as human footprints.

Although Luo Han knew that soldiers, immortals and infiltrated creatures rarely came out in the early morning, he was still very cautious. He would not allow himself to die under a moment of carelessness, so the short journey of 800 meters took him five minutes.

Luo Han finally got into the dilapidated department store and listened for a moment. He was basically sure that there were no creatures hidden in the building. He quickly climbed down the broken freight elevator channel. In fact, with his current physical strength, jumping off the elevator channel more than three meters high is not a problem, but jumping directly will definitely lead There was a lot of movement, so he chose to climb slowly cautiously.

Two minutes later, Luo Han came to the KFC restaurant on the second floor of the department store. Of course, this restaurant has not served breakfast for a long time. There are traces of fighting everywhere in the restaurant. Half of the sales desk collapsed, and the plastic tables are scattered everywhere. The air is filled with the smell of food corruption and a faint smell of blood. Luo Han This taste is very familiar and doesn't care.

Luo Han skillfully shuttled between the abandoned seats and got into the innermost toilet of the KFC restaurant.

It was not until he entered the toilet that Luo Han was slightly relieved. He sat quietly on the ground and listened quietly to any other movements outside. Five minutes later, he made sure that he was safe and decided to start action.

Luo Han pulled out four wrinkled yellow papers from his trousers pocket. He gently smoothed them. Each yellow paper was the same size, basically the length from Luo Han's wrist to the tip of his middle finger, with dark red handwriting depicting strange lines, and an inexplicable force faintly emitted from these runes.

Luo Han's lips moved slightly and quickly waved the four yellow papers in his hand in four directions, southeast and northwest. This toilet is not big. Four pieces of yellow paper flew out less than three meters and touched the wall one after another. The strange thing is that these yellow papers actually seem to be coated with glue. As soon as they touch the wall, they stick to it and do not move.

Seeing that four pieces of yellow paper were in place, Luo Han untied the straps of the cotton-padded coat, revealing several gray woolen sweaters on the inside. He took off the neckline of the woolen sweater, put his hand along his neck into his underwear, and pulled out a black pendant from his arms. This pendant was very strange and not passable. The common circular arc, but a standard square hexahet, an inconspicuous flesh-colored rope tied into a net wrapped around the hexagon, hanging it on Luo Han's neck.

The pendant is only the size of the first finger of the thumb, which looks very delicate. After Luo Han took him out of his arms, looked at it carefully, and then carefully let it go and let it gently lean against his chest.

After finishing the above action, Luo Han became more nervous. He closed his eyes and slowly reached into a sandwich inner bag hidden at the waist of his cotton-padded clothes.

The inner bag immediately sounded the sound of paper rubbing. Luo Han paused for a moment, but soon calmly pulled one of the pieces of paper. His eyes were closed to death. He relied on the touch of his fingers to carefully distinguish the piece of paper from other pieces of paper and slowly pulled it out. Under tension, his breathing was slightly short. A large white fog spewed out of his nostrils.

Finally, he pulled a piece of paper out of his pocket.

The piece of paper was gently placed on the ground in front of him. Luo Han did not open his eyes, but put his hand into the sandwich pocket again and carefully counted the number of remaining papers.

"There are two more, that's right!"

There were a total of three pieces of paper hidden in the mezzanine. When he was sure there were only two left, he slowly stood up and slowly retreated.

His back was attached to the wall, and through the thin cotton-padded clothes, Luo Han could clearly feel the cold of the wall. He suddenly opened his eyes and stared at the pieces of paper on the ground.

A monster was drawn with a pencil on the paper, which was very simple and ugly, and even a little incomplete, but the outline was basically out. At first glance, it looked like an ape, but it was much more fierce than an ordinary monkey. The sharp and protruding teeth showed that this was definitely not a simple movement. Things.

At the moment Luo Han opened his eyes, a black smoke emerged from the paper, and the strokes of the ape pattern also strangely floated from the paper with the black smoke. The substantial black lines loomed in the black smoke and soon disappeared into the thicker and thicker smoke.

In less than three seconds, black smoke filled the narrow space of the whole toilet.

Luo Han put his hands together, holding strange fingerprints, and staring nervously at the depths of the black smoke.

Suddenly, a sad ape song came from the black smoke. With the roar, the black smoke quickly contracted to the center, and a blue-faced fanged ape exposed and spread its teeth and claws to Luo Han. The smelly saliva flowed from the corners of its mouth and ticked to the ground.

"Defeat demons, light prison, set!" Luo Han's strange fingerprints pointed to the ape, and a pale yellow light hit it on the four yellow papers around him, locking it firmly.

"Squeak--" The ape howled angrily.

Luo Han quickly took out a piece of yellow paper from his trousers pocket. He clamped the yellow paper with his index finger and ring finger, shook it three times in the air, then shook it at the ape's face and said, "Shut up and forget to say it, no!"

The yellow paper turned into a ball of red light and hit the ape's face. Although the ape was still opening its teeth and claws, it could not make a sound.

At this point, Luo Han's heart was settled. He carefully walked to the ape and sat down, holding up the square hexagonal pendant on his chest with one hand, moving his lips slightly and meditating the formula.

The ape's face is ferocious, with saliva in its mouth, and its muscles are bursting. The two forearms are waved crazily, but they can't move a little bit. The light columns of light emitted from the four yellow paper actually have great binding power.

At the urging of Luo Han's formula, the hexagonal pendant trembled gently, and the irritable ape suddenly disappeared. Luo Han clearly sensed that the ape's body had been sucked into the pendant.

Luo Han took a breath, rested for a while, and began to close his eyes to take the pieces of paper in his cotton-padded pocket.

It took Luo Han half an hour to finally put the apes on the three pieces of paper into the chest pendant. He glanced at the watch on his left wrist, and the time under the ruptured surface had reached 5:40. Luo Han was a little anxious. Although there was no mistake today, this is He collected three monsters for the first time, and the time was much longer than usual.

He quickly took off the yellow paper on the wall, put it back in his trousers pocket, picked up three blank papers on the ground, folded them, stuffed them in his cotton-padded pocket, and began to return.

It was a little dawn on the way back, but he still didn't meet anyone. When Luo Han rushed back to the shantytown, it was just six o'clock sharp. He felt a little calm and said that his parents should not have got up yet.

"Yo, Xiaohan, you got up so early to exercise!" A fat middle-aged woman was making a stove in the middle open space and saw Luo Han greeting him with a smile. Next to her is a small cart with a wooden board as a table. There are freshly cut noodles on the wooden board, and there is a blood-red slogan on the side of the cart: "Food robber, death!"

"Fat aunt, you are so hardworking. You got up so early to cook noodles for everyone."

"Haha, Xiaohan is really good at talking. If I don't cook noodles, everyone will have to eat me later."

Luo Han smiled and quickly turned his head to a three-story broken building not far away.

Luo Han stepped up the stairs, came to the top floor, opened the door that was not locked at all, and saw his father sitting angrily on a stout stool, carrying an old-fashioned belt full of cracks in his hand.

"Luo Han, you sneaked out before five o'clock. The big exam is coming soon. Why can't you give me some peace and say, where have you been?"

Luo Han sighed and gently knelt down in front of his father. He knew that what he was going to do must not be said. Once he said it, he was not only a death penalty, but also the whole family would be kicked out of the poorest shantytown. The only thing waiting for them was wandering and death.

"Okay, you rebellious son, I will kill you today." Luo Tiannan said fiercely, and the belt in his hand was raised but he couldn't pull it down. He also knew that it was not easy to live in troubled times, and he was not willing to add his own flesh and blood.

Luo Han's mother ran out of the inside, grabbed Luo Tiannan's hand with tears, and said in a hoarse voice, "Well, it's hard for the child. He just went out to exercise in the morning and didn't do anything wrong. Don't be angry."

Luo Han sighed, and then his mother admitted his mistake: "Dad, I know I'm wrong."

Although he said he knew it was wrong, Luo Han did not say "I won't sneak away in the future". Both father and son knew that it was meaningless to admit this mistake.

Luo Tian sighed, put on a shabby black suit, tied the belt around his waist, picked up his briefcase, and walked out of the house.

Mom quickly helped Luo Han up, told him a few words, then carried a wide canvas bag on her back and went downstairs.

Luo Han looked at his parents downstairs and said to himself, "Mom, don't blame your son for refusing to say it. I said that you will have more difficulties in bed and eating. Hold on for another two weeks. I will definitely pass the big exam in two weeks. At that time, I will take you to live in the city center so that you will never have to live in danger."

"Brother, have your parents left?" A boy's voice sounded inside.

Luo Han immediately put a smile on his face: "Luo Bing, you are also awake. They are gone."

"Ha ha, how can I fall asleep when Dad scolds you so loudly?" A 13 or 14-year-old boy came out of the inside touching the wall. He had no eyes and was replaced by two flesh-red holes on the bridge of his nose, which looked very horrible.

"Brother, you collected three demon apes for the first time today. Did you succeed?"

"Haha, how can I be here if I don't succeed? Bingbing, come and help me watch the door. I'm going to absorb my vitality."

Luo Han does not shy away from what Luo Bing did, because those monster pictures were drawn by Luo Bing at all, and only Luo Bing, who is blind, will not accidentally activate the monsters in the process of painting. These monsters from graphics to physical penetration phenomena must occur under the direct observation of the human eye.

"Okay." Luo Bing responded with a smile. Although his smiling face was very terrible, it was particularly gratifying in Luo Han's eyes. Although Luo Bing suffered a disaster and became disabled, she has never complained, let alone abandoned himself. He has always lived optimistically. This kind of person who can survive the disaster will certainly make great achievements in the future.

Seeing Luo Bing touching the door very skillfully, Luo Han took a wooden stake and put it under his brother's buttocks. Luo Bing sat on it and just blocked the door. He held his face and stared at the middle of the room with a smile on his face.

Luo Han walked to the middle of the house, sat down cross-legged on the broken tile floor, took out the cube pendant in his arms with his right hand, and urged it with his thoughts.

The pendant emitted a faint light, and Luo Han felt that the three magic apes gradually melted and turned into star energy. These energies gradually merged together to form a pale red pill.

When Luo Han saw the color of Xiaowan, he was happy and urged the pendant.

Ten minutes later, the three magic apes were completely melted. The pendant shook gently at the urging of Luo Han, and a light red pill appeared in the pendant gang out of thin air and was gently picked up by Luo Han.

"Sure enough, the color is darker than the refining of only two magic apes." Luo Han carefully pinched the pills with two fingers, observed them happily, and then swallowed them into his abdomen.

A hot feeling spread from his abdomen in an instant, and Luo Han quickly put on a strange posture and began to absorb it.

Luo Han felt that countless faint light spots appeared in the air around him. These light spots could only be felt through consciousness, but could not be seen through his eyes. With his regular breathing, the light spots floated up his nasal cavity, entered the lungs along the trachea, and sank to his abdomen.

The original heat in the abdomen immediately swallowed up these light spots and drove them to swim in Luo Han's meridians. Luo Han immediately felt warm and comfortable as if he were in a hot spring.

This process lasted for 20 minutes before the energy produced by the light red pills was fully absorbed by Luo Han.

Luo Han waited for a while until the light spot inhaled into the nasal cavity ran out of his mouth with his breath, which showed that his body cells were saturated and could no longer absorb more vitality. Then he reluctantly ended his vomiting posture and jumped up from the ground.

After Luo Han stood up, he took out a yellow rune paper from his pocket and stimulated the vitality in his body. The rune paper slowly lit up white light, and the light spread from Luo Han's fingers to the top of the rune paper. Finally, there was still an inch of light at the top of the rune paper, and the rest of the other parts emitted a soft white light.

Luo Han is overjoyed. This is a vitality test rune paper. All the rune paper shines white, which will mean that the first stage of the replacement period has reached its peak. After a year of hard practice, it is finally going to break through.

This year is 2019, the sixth year after the catastrophe.
