Chapter 1 Activating the Anomaly Containment System

Tonight is New Year's Eve, and many people are looking forward to the arrival of the new year.

"10."

"9."

...

"3."

"2."

"1."

The countdown is over, and Blue Star officially enters 2025.

"Beep————————"

At the same time, a harsh and long mechanical sound rang in the minds of people all over the world.

"The horror game [Weird Era] is officially online, log in - Blue Star!"

The expectation on everyone's face turned into panic.

"Horror game?"

"Thought implant? Aliens?"

"Mom, mom, someone is talking in my head."

"Is the end of the world finally coming?"

"What a fucking day, I hope the world will be destroyed sooner!"

On the chat software, people were sharing and discussing everywhere, and the matter quickly became a hot search.

January 1st.

It should have been a mess, but most people had forgotten about it after a few hours.

Only a very small number of people still have an impression. They want to speak out and tell the outside world, but they only get ridicule and misunderstanding from others, saying that they are whimsical and crazy.

Some people also say that they are spreading these things randomly to cause panic?

Under the ridicule and suppression of others, these insiders gradually kept silent and stopped making any comments.

The comments and messages on the Internet about this matter also disappeared, and everything seemed to be back to normal.

Only the leaders of various countries held meetings again and again with solemn faces.

On the streets, there are more and more patrolling police officers, especially at night, the railway police with red and blue lights flashing are active in various places one after another.

For a time, the crime rate in various places has dropped a lot.

Seven o'clock in the morning.

Shen Yu listened to music and waited for the bus to arrive on the platform.

The temperature in Yeyang City was extremely low in the morning, and there was a layer of mist everywhere. Looking at the city from a distance, it was hazy as if covered with a layer of white gauze, and its true face could not be seen clearly.

There was a thin layer of snow on the ground. Many pedestrians walked on it, and they would exhale a puff of white mist when they talked and breathed, blending into the city, as if adding silk threads to the white yarn weaving on it.

Shen Yu exhaled a breath of hot air to relieve his frozen fingers.

Finally, a bus with the number 201 on it came.

The bus stopped, the door opened, and Shen Yu got on the bus.

He took out the card in his pocket and tapped it on the card reader.

"Ding! Student card!"

There were very few passengers on this bus, and Shen Yu felt a little strange. Usually at this time, the bus would be crowded with people rushing to school and work.

But having a seat is better than standing, so Shen Yu found an empty seat in the back and sat down.

The car started.

After driving on the road for five minutes.

Tick!

Shen Yu felt something dripping on his neck, and the bone-chilling coldness made him shiver.

Shen Yu touched his neck with his backhand, and looked up at the roof. He found nothing unusual, and there was no leak.

It was as if all that was his illusion.

But Shen Yu knew that it couldn't be his illusion, because he was one of the very few people who still had memories of the "Weird Era".

Why did he still remember it? Was it because he was different? Or was he being targeted?

Shen Yu carefully touched his neck, but didn't find anything wrong. He tried to take pictures with his mobile phone, but didn't find anything abnormal with his skin.

This made him a little anxious.

The boring life that could be seen at a glance seemed to be finally disrupted by an accident, but this accident could not be controlled by Shen Yu.

He rubbed his neck hard until the skin there turned red and stinging.

Calm down!

This may not be something he encountered.

Even if it was.

He also needed to find a way to verify it.

Shen Yu observed other passengers calmly. Was he the only one, or did others encounter it too?

There were not many passengers on the bus, a few office workers, a few students, and some uncles and aunts who got up early to buy groceries and go shopping.

Some of them talked in low voices, some sat with sleepy eyes, some lowered their heads to play with their mobile phones, and some leaned back to catch up on sleep.

Their behavior was normal.

Until Shen Yu looked forward.

The driver sat upright, holding the steering wheel with both hands, driving the car meticulously, passing through the busy road.

The rearview mirror in the bus just reflected the face of the driver sitting in the driver's seat, with pale skin without a trace of blood.

In the opposite lane, a tanker truck drove over.

Shen Yu's heartbeat suddenly accelerated at this moment, and a strong premonition pulled him.

Shen Yu stood up suddenly and ran quickly to the front. A student next to him looked up at him strangely.

The driver's face was very ugly, with a hint of death. He stared with his eyes wide open, his eyeballs seemed to be about to pop out of his sockets, and his hands holding the steering wheel were bruised. The bus swayed to the left and then to the right.

His face showed a struggle, and human nature was fighting against the distortion of the unknown.

The driver was ultimately no match for the thing that controlled him, and he stepped on the accelerator and crashed straight into the tanker in the left lane!

Several small cars were knocked over, and everyone in the car was thrown into the air under the strong inertia.

Shen Yu's body flew backwards suddenly, but it was too late!

The harsh serial collision sound and violent explosion filled the eardrums!

"Ding! The abnormal containment system has begun to activate... Activation completed!"

"It is detected that the host is in a life-and-death crisis, 10,000 construction points will be deducted, and a one-time time and space retrieval will be purchased."

"One-time time regression has been used!"

Everything around him was still.

Then, Shen Yu's body, the collided and damaged vehicle, and the passengers seemed to be pressed into a backwards movie, and everything went back to the time before the accident happened.

…

The ear-piercing explosions and desperate screams are still in my ears.

Shen Yu sat on the car seat, holding the back of the car in front and lowering his head to take a few breaths. He raised his head and looked around.

The expressions of those passengers were normal, as if they had forgotten what had just happened.

driver!

Without any time to think, Shen Yu rushed to the cab at a faster speed this time.

The driver's expression was struggling, his eyes were bulging, and the pain made his face look extremely twisted and terrifying.

The driver sensed Shen Yu's approach.

His neck got stuck one by one as if there was something wrong with him, and he slowly turned his head, looking for help.

Shen Yu pulled him off his seat.

The driver took the steering wheel.

The movement ahead attracted the attention of the passengers in the car.

"What are you doing? Stealing a car?"

"Hey! Why did you drag the driver away?"

Many people immediately stood up and approached here.

Shen Yu calmly explained the current situation: "Don't touch me. The driver is ill, maybe epilepsy. The car is still on the road and needs someone to drive it. You control him first and don't interfere with me."

Several passengers were surprised and confused.
