Ring ring!

At the head of the bed, the alarm clock is desperately roaring, an action that will not stop until it accomplishes its goal.

“Huh, alarm clock, what day is it?”

Nothing extravagant about the bed, only a thin young man that looked as if he had an ordinary dream. Just then, he suddenly sat up from his bed, his ordinary face went through a range of emotion, his face was blank at the beginning, then went to shock, fear, and eventually surprise.

He felt extremely complicated.

Watching his change in expression was more magical than watching the changing faces in a Sichuan opera.

“No, why am I here? Was I dreaming before? It must have all been fake. The date, yes, check the date.”

Still with a look of shock on the young man's face, he then proceeded to hurriedly look at the calendar on his alarm clock.

“September 20, 2019.”

“How could it still be the 20th? Did I travel back a whole three days, or did I dream the whole thing?”

The young man's face was pale and blue while he muttered to himself.

The young man's name is Yi Tianxing.

Originally an orphan, he was abandoned at an early age and taken in by Tianfu Orphanage. Abandoned at around the age of five, his reason for being abandoned was somewhat strange, he was abandoned because he was mentally abnormal. When he was young, he remembered one day telling his parents that he could see ghosts, but these ordinary people could not see the ghosts he saw at all. Hearing their child open his mouth and saying these absurd things, such as spouting nonsense about seeing ghosts around him all the time while walking on the road made them wary. Being young and naive, he talked about this in front of his biological uncle and told him that there was a b.l.o.o.d.y ghost haunting him, completely terrifying him. No matter how you looked at it, no one wants an abnormal child.

After a diagnosis from a mental hospital, he was directly judged to be mentally ill. Even his biological parents could not stand his occasional garrulous words anymore until eventually abandoning him. He was sent him to an orphanage and become an orphan.

His biological parents visited him once or twice in private from time to time in the first two years, but a couple of years later, they had a new child, and it was a boy, so they never visited him again.

Around the age of six or seven, Yi Tianxing began to understand, seeing that others were scared and disgusted at him being able to see ghosts, he became more and more silent about what he saw, never telling them that he could see ghosts around people all the time. Acting like a normal kid.

At the age of eight, a kind couple took a fancy to him, adopted him and became his adoptive parents. His new adoptive parents were named Zhao Haifeng and Huang Yu. There is only one girl under their care, at seven years old, her name is Zhao Ziyan. For some special reasons, they were unable to conceive anymore after giving birth to Zhao Ziyan, so they decided to adopt Yi Tianxing.

After the adoption, Yi Tianxing was also happy, they treated him like their very own biological child, he ate delicious food, had fun with his new family, and was treated equally well by his new adoptive parents. There was no colored lens or anything that made him feel excluded.

Under the care of his adoptive parents, Yi Tianxing's original cold heart could not help but melt, and Zhao Ziyan is also the same, these two brother and sister, deeply care for one another. He really thinks of Zhao Haifeng and Huang Yu as his biological parents.

For his original biological parents, he has long buried his feelings for them at the bottom of his heart, not to be touched again.

Now 23 years old, Yi Tianxing has graduated from college and has started working. On the surface, he looks like he is working a normal job, but in fact, his business is catching ghosts and exorcising evil spirits.

His eyes are born extraordinary, he can see yin and yang through his pair of congenital Yin and Yang Eyes.

Although since coming out from the orphanage, he has never mentioned anything about his eyes to his family or friends around him. But as he grew older, these pair of yin and yang eyes also become more magical, not only being able to see yin and yang energy with his mysterious magical pupils, but he can also perform a sort of magic spell called Yin and Yang Lock.

It's just that right now he can only perform two Yin and Yang Lock spells a day. Yi Tianxing has tested this, his Yin and Yang Lock is very powerful, even more powerful against ghosts, as long as they are locked by the Yin and Yang Lock, they will immediately be captured and unable to resist at all. Over the years, Yi Tianxing has been called a grand master because of this ability. And there is no shortage of money from customers seeking his services.

If it continues to go on like this, his life will be very interesting and wonderful.

However, what he had experienced before has given him an endless fear for the future.

“It happened three days ago.”

Yi Tianxing turned on the TV broadcast and saw a piece of news sketch that he had seen three days prior. The furnis.h.i.+ngs at his home are exactly the same as they were when he was there three days ago, with no differences at all.

Weewoo!

Opening the curtains and seeing the bustling street outside his window, he heard the sound of the fire engine sirens constantly concussing in his eardrum while a shop had caught on fire.

These are all things that Yi Tianxing has already experienced in his memory.

All this proves is that this is indeed three days ago, he inexplicably returned back to three days ago.

Three days ago, which is now, and three days later, is the dividing line between heaven and h.e.l.l.

The weird warcrafts, legendary creatures, bugs, undead, skeletons, etc., gushed out of those s.p.a.cial cracks like raindrops. Killing all on sight and wreaking havoc throughout the city. Almost in the blink of an eye, there were a large number of casualties, all the victims were torn to pieces. There was chaos everywhere. It was a terrible and b.l.o.o.d.y scene.

It was the worse ending that the world could ever face.

Moreover, from those s.p.a.cial cracks, there also spat out a variety of divine lights which spread to all corners of the world.

These divine lights were like meteors, but he was unable to determine what was wrapped in them.

Moreover, Yi Tianxing saw with his own eyes a colorful meteor falling directly on himself, even if Yi Tianxing himself was very strong, practicing a variety of martial arts, learning the ancient martial art of Taijiquan, and had his magical yin and yang eyes. There was no way he could dodge such an abrupt situation.

Only in that flash of time was he struck on the head by this meteor. He mostly lost consciousness, but before he fully pa.s.sed out, he could just see clearly what had smashed down upon his head, it was a colorful bead which looked very extraordinary. But Yi Tianxing felt only a sharp pain before his whole consciousness dissipated completely, and when he woke up again, he came back to three days ago.

Presently.

The scenes were still clearly branded in his mind.

“It's all true. Three days later, when the apocalypse comes, countless monsters will fall from the sky, s.p.a.ce will be torn apart, and the sun and moon will disappear completely. Human civilization will be destroyed in that short period of time, and countless lives will fall in the end. This is not a man-made disaster, but a natural disaster, it is even more impossible to avoid. This great apocalypse, no one can escape from.”

Yi Tianxing smiled bitterly in his heart.

That shocking scene constantly reverberated in his mind, knowing that this inevitability was not man-made, nor some local disaster, but an apocalypse that completely covered the whole area and covered the entire earth was terrifying. Once it explodes, no one can avoid it, those overwhelming monsters can destroy almost everything on their path.

Under such a natural disaster, the whole human civilization will be hit hard.

He is afraid that countless human beings will not survive, even one in a thousand people being able to survive that day is a lucky outcome.

Such monsters, when ordinary people face them, will leave a very small chance of survival.

Under such circ.u.mstances, he is afraid that the army will not able to resist what is to come.

Yi Tianxing took a deep breath, and without hesitation, took out his phone and dialed the number he is most familiar with.

“How come the harder the wind blows, the more my heart swings.”

A familiar bell-like voice rang in his ear.

“Brother, why are you calling me all of a sudden? Do you miss me?” Not long ago, his mobile phone connected, on the other end came a crisp and pleasant laughter, if one hears it, the person opposite to this line will be very happy.

“Ziyan.”

Yi Tianxing heard the voice from the phone, his face showed a touch of inner tenderness, but he then straightened out his face and said sternly, “Now listen to what I have say, remember it well, and do it right away.”

“What's the matter brother!”

Zhao Ziyan asked in surprise.

“Don't ask too many questions, you have to contact our parents immediately, and then get on a train back home as soon as possible. I'll wait for you at home. There should be no delay along the way. If you have any further questions, wait until after we meet again.” Yi Tianxing spoke what he had to say very quickly.

When Zhao Ziyan heard it, she obviously felt that something was wrong, as if something terrible was about to happen, and out of complete trust, she did not ask further about the details but said: “Brother, our parents are at the research inst.i.tute, their phones have been disconnected because they are conducting an important experiment. They have reached a critical stage in their study, and once it begins, their contact with the outside world will be completely interrupted, and this study will take about two or three months to complete. We are now unable to be reach them right now. And the location of their research inst.i.tute is also a military secret, so I don't know where they are at all.”

“At the research inst.i.tute?”

When Yi Tianxing heard this, he was also helpless, his parents' research inst.i.tute was at a secret location, and the location of the research inst.i.tute was not on the surface at all, but built deep underground with extremely tight security inside. Even top agents may be unable to get into it easily, and in the research inst.i.tute, all communication is completely blocked. Until a certain amount of time pa.s.ses, the outside world will unable to contact them.

Moreover, after entering the research inst.i.tute, the length of stay is uncertain, but for now, in a short period of one or two days, there will certainly be no way to get in touch with them. Fortunately, being in the research inst.i.tute is also extremely safe, they can wait until later to search and rescue them.

“Don't worry about Mom and Dad for the time being. We'll talk about it later. You have to be back here as soon as you can. You can't spend more than two days away from home. You have to come back soon.” Yi Tianxing said decisively.

After hearing this, Zhao Ziyan, although very puzzled, promised to come back as soon as possible.
