Chapter 2, it was done hastily
A small river, approximately four to five meters wide, flows through the woods not far away, with the sound of gently flowing water mingling with the chirping of birds and the buzzing of insects, all entering the ears. Crystal-clear droplets still hang on the leaves or branches, sparkling in the bright sunlight, as if a heavy rain had just fallen recently
From dimness to brightness, the sudden change in light made him instinctively shield his eyes with his hand. Once his eyes adjusted to the bright light, he beheld a scene he had never witnessed before as a city dweller who had lived in the city his entire life.
Turning her head, she saw Lavina standing there, having appeared at some point, holding a wicker basket in her hand, in which a vividly colored wild chicken was the most eye-catching
I have indeed traveled through time...
Suddenly, there is a sense of worry that I cannot afford to lose
Of course, it is also possible that one may feel a bit weak in the legs
Just as Pei Renli was observing his surroundings, a sound came from the right side
The heavy door made of mahogany was not locked, and could be easily opened with a push. Upon exiting the room, the first thing that caught the eye was another large door
He was lying on the luxurious bed he had seen earlier, and from the indentation of the pillow, it was evident that he had been asleep or unconscious for a considerable amount of time
Groping along the edge of the bed sheet, Pei Renli bumped into the bedside and saw his sandals neatly placed below, arranged in perfect order. This included the fact that he would lie on the bed, which should have been the doing of the person who called herself Lafna
Aren't you considering it?
And when he stepped outside, he discovered that behind the door was actually a cave that bore no traces of human intervention, resembling a naturally formed cavern
Unable to help but pat his forehead to clear his mind, Pei Renli sat up, supported by the soft bedding beneath him
In front of him stood a mahogany door, and to the left, he could see a four-poster bed with a canopy, one he had only seen on screen
At this moment, he was filled with questions; suddenly he had traversed, and suddenly he had lost consciousness. What on earth is going on?
In the previous second, he was still playing on his phone, and in the next second, he had crossed over. Just as he had come to accept the fact of his crossing, he suddenly fell into a coma for reasons unknown. After this series of events, even Pei Renli, who considered himself to have a strong capacity for acceptance, felt a bit out of sync with the rhythm.
The surrounding environment is generally like this, which also confirms to Pei Renli that he has indeed traveled through time.
This is a very classical and luxurious room
Pei Renli only just remembered this matter and has only now become aware that the person speaking to him seems to have a pair of horns on their head
Being in a vast and seemingly endless primeval forest was Pei Renli's first impression
You may call me Lavna, I am your loyal servant, and everything here, including all property, will belong to you, as long as you are willing to do ... ...
The entire structure is built using cut stone bricks, with a torch emitting a faint blue light inserted every few meters
Looking down, beneath the toilet that he had traversed with, there lay a beautiful carpet, which was likely dampened in a large area due to the water in the toilet
So straightforward, Pei Renli responded almost reflexively, which instead made Lafna a bit hesitant. She tentatively asked:
Although there was only a flickering candle in the room and the light was very dim, it was sufficient to barely see.
Turning to look back, one would see a writing desk, adorned with an ink bottle, a quill pen, and several books placed on a simple bookshelf, as well as a crystal ball that appears to be made of a material similar to glass, pressing down the soft velvet cushion beneath it.
Things are developing too quickly, just like a roller coaster
Pei Renli has lived a very ordinary life from childhood to adulthood, neither exceptionally gifted nor wealthy. However, as mentioned earlier, creating works requires logic, while reality does not.
Looking ahead, the corridor seemed to connect to many rooms, as he could see quite a few mahogany doors with a similar style to the one he had just exited. This scene led him to believe that he was likely in a castle, which felt rather novel to him
Pei Renli got out of bed, looked around, and was surprised to find that the toilet he had traveled through with him was solemnly placed on the cabinet, resembling some kind of prized ornament.
However, due to the fact that the torch emitting blue light was somewhat beyond common sense, Pei Renli truly did not dare to approach it casually. After looking around, he reached out to push the heavy double doors in front of him
Suddenly, his expression changed, and as he reached down, he discovered that the necessary items were still there, which immediately relieved him.
Therefore, he currently feels very ... ...
And he actually crossed over while sitting on the toilet along with the toilet itself
Casually stuffing his phone back into his pocket, he pinched his thigh hard to confirm that he was not dreaming. Pei Renli surveyed his surroundings.
When he realized this, a sudden wave of dizziness enveloped Pei Renli's consciousness. He could see the creature that called itself Lafna, which looked human but actually had horns, moving its mouth as if speaking, but the sound was indistinct, like a radio with poor reception.
You must have many questions right now, but please do not be anxious just yet
She saw Pei Renli, who had just stood up, place the scrap paper on the cabinet beside the door and respectfully said with her head lowered
In terms of subjective experience, a sleep without dreams is not significantly different from a coma, making it difficult to perceive the passage of time
With eyes closed, I stretched lazily, feeling the pleasant, subtle cracking of my joints, and somewhat self-mockingly thought about how I had dreamt of a time travel.
Following the direction of the small river, one can clearly see a body of water on the left side that cannot be classified as a lake, but rather as a large pond. Occasionally, bubbles emerge from the water, possibly indicating the presence of fish below the surface
The time should be morning, and a faint milky white mist still lingers in the forest and over the water's surface, creating a sense of mystery
However, the cave is not dark, as it is too short, measuring at most around 10 meters. Standing next to the entrance, Pei Renli can easily see the bright sunlight outside through the slightly curved cave.
After all, just a second ago I was in the bathroom using my phone under the pretense of relieving myself, and the next second I was enveloped in a bright light. Once my vision cleared, I found myself in a completely different environment, and the only explanation for this is that I must have traveled through time.
Compared to the mahogany door of the room, this time it is a double door, and it is very large, almost resembling a small city gate
I merely wanted to experience the feeling of taking a paid break, so how did I suddenly end up in another world
However, when he opened his eyes, what he saw was a strange ceiling
Are you awake
Humans and insects are similar in that they are both phototropic organisms; when they see sunlight, they instinctively feel a sense of security, and Pei Renli is no exception
-- - ーー -- - ーー
Finally, his vision went dark
She said
Incredible
Pei Renli, who had just woken up, felt a slight stabbing pain, as if someone were incessantly hammering his head from the inside with a small mallet
Each piece of furniture is inlaid with gold trim, and several expensive-looking oil paintings are hung on the walls covered with light green patterned wallpaper
It should be waste paper, right
At that moment, there was a loud knock on the mahogany door in front of him, and the woman he had seen earlier pushed the door open, holding a stack in her hand
Only after the person who had just been talking to him left the room to find some paper did Pei Renli stand up from the toilet. His earlier calm demeanor was simply a result of not having reacted to the situation.
When Pei Renli regained consciousness, he could feel himself lying on a soft bed
What a state things have come to now, the good fortune of receiving property along with a female secretary is something one can only dream of
Alternatively, using the term "confused" would be more accurate
He had indeed heard of time travel, but he never expected it would happen to him. Moreover, others who traveled through time either experienced a celestial phenomenon where the whole world whispered their name, or they were nurtured in the womb with innate vital energy.
In this day and age, there are quite a few individuals who have undergone gender transformation through time travel, but Pei Renli clearly does not wish to be one of them
He urgently needed someone to explain to him what was going on. Regardless of whether the pair on Lavna's head were horns, she was currently the only person with whom he could communicate effectively, yet she was not by his side. Therefore, Pei Renli decided to go out and take a look
After a brief pause, he felt that the numbness from sitting for an extended period had diminished. He stood up, intending to take a good look at the furnishings in the room.
Prophecies are ultimately just prophecies, and no one can be certain about the true state of affairs
Getting out of bed and putting on his shoes, Pei Renli, with a head that still felt slightly painful and dizzy, pondered briefly and decided to step outside to take a look
He hesitated for a moment, but ultimately his curiosity and the urgent desire for an explanation prevailed, as he stepped carefully over the uneven rocks and walked towards the cave entrance
The lush and dense forest stands densely before me, making it difficult to determine where it ends, as looking further reveals only a sea of green, at best differing only in shades of dark green, light green, and deep green
This clearly requires some time to calm down, and the paper is merely an attempt to see if it can send someone away; in reality, he didn't even take off his pants. ... Thus, he quickly sat back down ...
There are certainly questions, such as how Pei Renli actually traveled through time.
"I am ready, just tell me what to do."
The feeling of being "careless" lingered in my chest, and thereafter I completely lost consciousness
Oh right, what did you just say you were willing to do
However, Lafna was not in the room; it was empty, with only Pei Renli present.
To her, it does not matter what Pei Renli needs the paper for; anyway, if you want it, I will go with you to find it
Although Lafna did not understand what "roll" meant, nor did she know that Pei Renli's quick agreement was due to lingering fears instigated by the "King of Rolls," it did not prevent her from letting out a sigh of relief when she heard Pei Renli's consent
Looking left and right, it was a corridor
From this perspective, he is indeed not an ordinary person
Indeed, one is truly not an ordinary person
The door was much lighter than expected, and with almost no effort, it was easily opened to create a gap wide enough for entry and exit. A wave of damp yet exceptionally fresh air surged in through the crack, jolting Pei Renli, who had been tormented by dizziness and headaches.
The uneven ground, along with the inverted stalactites and sharp stalagmites casting shadows, filled the entire field of vision. What had just felt like fresh air now resembled a damp and cold breeze, causing Pei Renli to break out in a layer of goosebumps. It is no wonder that there were no windows to be seen, whether in the room or in the corridor.
