The Ultimate Evolution

Sheyan was a person who dared to face a Zerg Rush head on. A dozen rats wouldn"t faze him.

Ignoring the hostility of the rats, he went to the b.l.o.o.d.y spot and half knelt down to give it a closer inspection. He found some flesh in the dried pool of blood. There were some detached rat tails and broken ears, among others.

He stood up, pondered for a moment, then walked around to the captain"s cabin. There, he saw an old canvas bed that was familiar to him. This should be Sanzi"s bed. It was really very obvious because there was a poster of Sanzi"s favorite actress above the bed.

Sheyan sat down on Sanzi"s bed in silence. A sensation of wetness suddenly transmitted over from his fingertips. He looked down and saw that there were large spots of wet marks on Sanzi"s pillow; numerous spots had overlapped together. It seemed that Sanzi often came here to cry while holding the pillow.

When Sheyan saw this, it tugged at the softest part in his heart. He could vaguely imagine the way Sanzi, a thin and timid teenager, curled up in bed and cried alone. It was an image which caused Sheyan a lot of guilt.

It was because Sheyan knew this non-blood related brother of his really well that he could feel Sanzi"s heartache so vividly.

Next, Sheyan rummaged around and found that there were some books piled up in the room. He quickly skimmed through them and saw that they were books about Shaolin eighteen-style practical combat, United States Navy Seal express training, etc.... He picked up a few DVDs and saw that they were all instructional DVDs for camouflage and a.s.sa.s.sination techniques in the jungle.

Just then, Sheyan suddenly heard a sound from outside. His pupils contracted slightly. At first, he intended to leave, but after thinking about it, still decided to just stand there and wait.

It should be noted that a storm was coming and Sheyan was currently on a boat. The sound of the waves, the howl of the wind, and the squeaking of the s.h.i.+p mixed together noisily. It was really hard to detect any other noises if one did not listen carefully.

Unexpectedly, after a while, the sound from outside seemed to have disappeared. Sheyan revealed a trace of surprise but he still decided to stay on the boat. He deliberately walked a few steps inside the cabin.

At that moment, the door of the cabin suddenly sprang open and a dozen odd large rats rushed madly towards Sheyan. These rats had surprising leaping abilities and could jump as high as a person"s face. They bit down on Sheyan with their sharp teeth. Next, a dark silhouette rushed forward with its body crouched low, tightly grasping a fish-cutting knife with a cloth wrapped around its handle.

An ordinary people would have been distracted by the rats and ended up being stabbed by the fish-cutting knife!

Sheyan flung his left hand and instantly swept the dozen odd rats away. The rats squeked noisily as they slammed into the wooden wall. Some of them died from the impact. At the same time, Sheyan"s right hand quietly slid down and grabbed the knife. Although the blade was sharp, it only hurt his skin.

The silhouette turned out to be Sanzi. The expression he wore on his face was one of madness and determination. He yelled furiously through gritted teeth, "I"ll kill you!.... Oh, wait. Brother?"

Sheyan glared at Sanzi with a smile that did not reach his eyes and said, "You sure were busy behind my back!"

Looking at Sheyan, Sanzi s.h.i.+vered all over. He suddenly lost his strength to stand and collapsed to the ground. Then, he hugged Sheyan"s legs and broke down in tears. He wasn"t crying due to sadness, but just to release his emotion. He was on the brink of collapse due to pressure.

Sheyan could only sigh. He said, "Now that I think about it, it should be my carelessness that dragged you into this mess."

"When I asked you to buy some mantises for me, I should"ve known that you would be curious. You"re someone who wouldn"t stop until you find out what you want to know. Unfortunately, I was way too busy back then, and I was really tired too. When I returned to the real world, I was too busy relaxing my body and mind. I neglected the fact that you would definitely get curious. Am I right?"

Sanzi nodded.

Sheyan narrowed his eyes and asked, "How did you get dragged into the d.a.m.n nightmare realm?"

Sanzi answered while he cried, "Brother Sheyan, I was just curious. While you were away, I went to the place where you concocted the medicine. For some reason, when I went down the stairs, it felt like there was no end to it and I couldn"t get to the bottom. When I was finally tired of walking, I got into a cave, and I slept in it."

"Then, when I woke up, I felt hot all over, and the cave had turned into a transparent data cabin without me realising it. It started scanning me. After that, I fainted, and when I woke up again, I was already sent on an adventure in a nightmare world."

Sheyan listened patiently to Sanzi"s experience. Sanzi wouldn"t lie to him in these things, so he must be telling the truth. Sheyan felt that the way Sanzi entered the realm was quite different.

As far as Sheyan knew, the people selected by the realm often had very strong will to survive, very resolute determination and were very persistent. And when these people were forced to into a really desperate situation, their spirits would be heightened to a certain level. It was then that the nightmare realms would notice them and sign contracts with them.

These kind of situations were not uncommon in legends and myths, which would often depict people who were in desperate pain or anger being tempted by the devil to sell their soul....

According to Sheyan"s speculation, the relations.h.i.+p between the realm and a contestant may be similar to the relations.h.i.+p between a radio and a radio station:

When strong-willed human beings had their spirits heightened in near-death situations, their brain waves would naturally undergo some intriguing alteration, changing from an ordinary wavelength to a wavelength that the nightmare realm could detect. They nightmare realm could then rescue them.

But Sanzi"s experience was very uncommon. However, it was not without precedent either. There were many such examples in stories and legends. We could often hear stories of people getting lost and mysteriously found themselves in a beautiful place, which they would often think as fairyland. The more famous among these stories in Chinese literature were the legend of Ranka ( ) and the Yellow Millet Dream ( ü_Dongbin#Yellow_Millet_Dream ).

Therefore, Sheyan speculated that Sanzi may be someone who was naturally born with a brain wave that had a "wavelength" very close to the "wavelength" of the nightmare realm. Thus, he only needed to experience something ordinary as a triggering point to be noticed by the realm. This should be a kind of natural-born talent.

Sheyan contemplated for a moment before he nodded and said, "The first world is always the most difficult because you have to adapt to the sudden changes from being an ordinary person to becoming a contestant. It"s great that you managed to survive.... "

But Sanzi did not agree. He said with some grievance, "Brother, how come I don"t feel the same way? The first time I entered a nightmare world, it was a romantic encounter, an exciting adventure.

Sheyan was flabbergasted, "Which world did you experience?"

"t.i.tanic. As soon as I woke up, I was already on board," Sanzi seemed very impressed with the world. Now that he finally had some he could talk to about the nightmare realm, the words just flowed out of his mouth.

"The s.h.i.+p was such a luxurious and exquisite thing! On the s.h.i.+p, I enjoyed delicious food, beautiful women -- things that I"ve never experienced before. Oh, I can still remember the taste of the truffle and foie gras...."

Sheyan frowned when he heard that, "Did none of the other contestants come to you looking for trouble?"

Sanzi shrugged his shoulders, "There were no other contestants. It was a world prepared exclusively for me."

"...." Sheyan was speechless. He coughed two times and asked,"What was the main mission? "

Sanzi pondered for a moment before he answered, "Survive the s.h.i.+pwreck. I also saved the female protagonist, so I even earned extra degree of completion."

Sheyan sighed, "The female protagonist had Jack"s protection so she wouldn"t have died anyway. Why didn"t you save Jack instead? "

Sanzi felt wronged as he answered, "Bro, do you think I"m stupid? Of course I"ve thought of that. In fact, I couldn"t NOT save him even if I wanted to...."

Hearing Sanzi"s words, an absurd idea that was almost impossible crept into Sheyan"s mind. He enquired in astonishment, "Don"t tell me....."

Seeing his elder brother"s surprised expression, Sanzi could not help laughing, "Yup, that"s right. When I entered that world, I was a.s.signed to be Jack."

The setting of a main character! Sheyan had only heard these kind of stories from others before, but he had never encountered someone who had personally experienced it. The realm not only prepared an exclusive world for Sanzi the first time he entered a nightmare world, they even made him the main character?!?!

The so-called MC setting was definitely not as simple as just inheriting the protagonist"s ident.i.ty. It must be known that the protagonist had a lot of bonuses compared to the rest of the characters. A contestant who became the protagonist could also enjoy those bonuses when they were in that world.

Have you seen any protagonist who was shot in the head in the middle of the story, or died from stray bullets? Normally, a protagonist would receive a high bonus in luck! Sheyan looked at Sanzi"s beaming smile and instantly knew that he certainly did not miss the opportunity to spend some happy hours with the female protagonist.

"I see," Sheyan smiled and said, "The reason you didn"t tell me about the realm right away was because you thought that place was fun, huh? Hmph, you"re afraid that I wouldn"t let you go back if you"d told me."
