"Curse this fate."
After sending a woman with a charming back, back to her husband, Ning Feng maintained his superficial demeanor but muttered silently in his heart.
"What kind of crazy unfolding is this?"
Five minutes ago, Ning Feng was still hugging someone else's wife in circles around the dance floor.
But now he has awakened the memory of his previous life, and has become a mediocre transversor among thousands of transmigrating troops.
He didn't add any luster to the prestige of a transmigrator, he was not hot by a truck nor did he overwork himself to death.
As soon as he closed and opened his eyes, Ning Feng came to this world.
The ups and downs of life are so simple and boring.
When Ning Feng opened his eyes and found himself in the magnificent hall, the moment of confusion and helplessness was really frightening.
Luxurious decoration, elegant court dance music, luxurious costumes...
All of these have nothing to do with Ning Feng's original life. It can be said that this is a scene that would never appear in a dream.
But the soft touch on his chest, the faint fragrance lingering at the tip of his nose, and the subtle breath of the person in his arms, all these told Ning Feng that this was not an illusion.
And he has to say that it is quite exciting to hold someone else's wife in circles while he is watching.
But looking at the appearance of the other party's husband, he doesn't seem to care at all. He doesn't know if he is already used to it, or if he has chosen to forgive her early.
Maybe the relationship is not that good?
Ning Feng, who was lost in his thoughts, felt someone lightly bump into his shoulder, and turned his head to meet the site of a lady whose face was flushed for some reason, staring at him with resentment.
'Report! Someone wants to touch porcelain here! She bumped into me!'
(Touch porcelain: An act of purposely finding trouble with someone with the intent of blackmailing e.g party A, has a Brocken piece of porcelain but it looks flawless on the outside, he lends it to party B, it breaks apart in party B's hand, party A blackmails money out of party B.
In the context of the story Ning Feng thought the lady would act as if she was injured or something.)
Ning Feng, who was in the chaos, was really not in the mood to cooperate with her performance. He pretended not to understand the resentful eyes of the other party, and turned around and walked away after slightly bowing at the other party.
But at this moment, in front of his eyes, a large amount of data was presented:
[Race: Human (female)
Strength: Normal human (weak)
Attitude: Friendly (she might want to do something with you)
Ability: Dance (intermediate), eloquence (intermediate), riding (Intermediate level)...]
Pausing slightly, Ning Feng took a deep breath and tried to pretend nothing happened.
He maintained a sullen face, but there were ten thousand question marks floating in his heart.
This is my golden finger (cheat)?
But what is this?
According to the conventional development, people who travel through to other worlds are all sons of destiny, they are full of domineering aura and they easily sweep away all enemies.
Everywhere they go they will receive praise and worship.
As for him? He just glances over... and sees the status information of the other party?
'Come on, isn't this a bit too tasteless?'
Ning Feng: "..."
Sigh——
'This golden finger is lacking, but there are still many ways to use it if I think about it carefully.'
'If I want to rely on it to be a master of psychology, a detective, or even a sea king, it should not be a problem. And that is all.'
(Sea king: A person with a harem.
Other people claim that there are plenty of fish in the ocean so they change girlfriends, the sea king accepts all the fish.)
Ning Feng, who was not reconciled, couldn't help but turn around and look around. Ning Feng couldn't see any other functions on the information of this noble lady.
While complaining in his heart, his mind he suddenly became dizzy due to the turbulence and fusion of two memories.
Ning Feng shook his body uncontrollably.
The noble lady who originally thought that Ning Feng had changed his mind was startled by his sudden movement, and then walked away from him quickly, covering her face in embarrassment.
"This young man looks good, and he dances well, but his body seems a little weak... No, it's not okay to be weak."
Regardless of what others think, Ning Feng endured the discomfort and walked down under the guidance of the waiter to rest in a temporary room.
Puke!——
The intense dizziness and retching lasted for ten minutes before slowly subsiding.
Ning Feng, who finally recovered, looked at himself in the mirror, and fell into complete silence.
It's not because of any dissatisfaction with his face in this life, the handsome and somewhat exaggerated appearance looks similar to that of his previous life, full of sense of substitution.
But other than that, the experience of the two lifetimes is really very different.
Although Ning Feng's family was not well-off in his previous life, and he had been solo for more than 20 years, at least he had both parents and his life could be considered to be happy.
As for this life... He can only use the word 'misery'.
His parents died in an accident, and he and another girl present were rescued by someone at the time and adopted by a kind old man.
But within a few years, the old man also passed away, and they became orphans again.
They were discovered by the organization where the old man used to work, and they were recruited as non-mandatory reserve personnel.
Up to here, it looks normal, both parents died, and brother and sister are dependent on each other, which can be regarded as a regular start for a male lead with a tragic background.
However, the problem lies elsewhere.
Looking down at the sharp dagger hidden in his cuff, the four bottles of silver medicine pinned to his strap, and the many large and small wounds under his clothes, Ning Feng twitched his cheeks and whispered:
"This world is too dangerous!"
This place is not the world Ning Feng is familiar with.
Although on the surface, it is a modern civilized society like Earth, but this world has another hideous face behind the scenes.
There are humans with special abilities called 'awakened', but there are also extraordinary creatures that are constantly eroding human society.
One side guards, the other side erodes, and their fighting with each other has never stopped.
The Overwatch Society that absorbed Ning Feng is the world's largest awakened organization, and has always been at the forefront of fighting danger.
As behemoths who secretly guard the world, they have no mandatory requirements for orphans like Ning Feng, and they can leave at any time as long as they sign a confidentiality agreement.
The homeless two naturally had no place to leave to, and they chose to receive reserve training shortly after being recruited.
Two years ago, the girl awakened on her own during training, and joined the Overwatch Society's battle order.
However, Ning Feng, who was not outstanding in actual combat training, showed amazing talent in command.
In just a few years, he passed a number of rigorous assessments, and was only one step away from becoming an official member in the command sequence.
This infiltration investigation task is the last assessment before Ning Feng becomes a regular.
It is required to complete a complete investigation independently from the formulation of the plan to the implementation, and cannot accept any form of help throughout the process.
Although this is a traditional trial with little practical significance, it has a special meaning.
It is logically unreasonable to place such strict and strange requirements on the commander.
But this just proves that what the Overwatch Club is looking for is not a commander who sits completely in the back and knows nothing about the situation on the front line.
What they want is a soldier who can also go to the front line when necessary.
The difficulty of the assessment is very high, but it is not a problem for Ning Feng who has achieved excellent results several times.
Everyone felt that this assessment was just a formality for him, including Ning Feng himself.
Everything in the preliminary work went smoothly. Ning Feng perfectly played the role of a successful young man in the upper class who sneaked into the ball, and no one has found anything suspicious.
But in the middle of the investigation, Ning Feng found out that he was wrong.
He was very wrong!
The object of this assessment is very big!
In a room in the manor, Ning Feng discovered a piece of news that made him feel cold.
Through deciphering the secret letter, he found out that a group of bewitched cultists are hidden in this manor, and these people secretly set up an evil ritual of sacrificing their lives to unknown existences!
Looking at the dry smile that unconsciously formed at the corner of his mouth in the mirror, Ning Feng hoarsely spat out a taboo phrase:
"...blood sacrifice."
He can't blame him for his ugly expression, because it's not just some cultists who are trying to get rich or something as simple as that.
At worst, the ritual could kill dozens of thousands of people.
This is not alarmist talk!
Although the collective has fallen into a deep sleep now, the gods are real!
As the culprits that brought extraordinary creatures into this world, the gods are undoubtedly hostile to human beings.
The blood sacrifice cannot be allowed to continue!
Although the probability is infinitely close to zero, once any god is awakened from his/her long sleep, it will be a real disaster for mankind.
In such an emergency, the results of the assessment are naturally no longer important.
But when Ning Feng wanted to report the news, he realized that all his means of communication had failed, and he found out that the entire manor seemed to be enveloped by an invisible force field.
If the news cannot be sent out, the outside assessors will not easily enter unless they receive a request for help.
The news also indicated that the ceremony had reached its final stage, all the guests at the ball would be the sacrifices, and the final blood sacrifice could start at any time.
The situation appears to be at a deadlock.
At that time, there were two choices before Ning Feng.
One is to leave clues to the Overwatch Society through secret words, continue to investigate alone, and look for opportunities to disrupt the ceremony.
The other is to evacuate immediately, abandon these guests, report the situation before everything is irreversible, and wait for professionals to deal with it.
Both options have advantages and disadvantages, the former has a great probability of sacrifice, and the latter may miss the last chance to stop the blood sacrifice.
The former Ning Feng chose to stay.
After leaving clues and suicide notes to the Watchmen in secret words, he returned to the dance floor, shuttled among the guests to observe, trying to get more clues, and tried his best to find the hidden cultists.
He has been losing his whole life, and he doesn't mind losing his life again.
Even if he sacrifices himself, he will try his best to prevent the disaster from happening!
"..."
After sorting out all the memories, Ning Feng was silent for a long time in front of the mirror.
Then, as a reliable adult with normal judgment, Ning Feng decisively made his own choice:
"I'm leaving, I won't bother with this matter!"
"Farewell!"
(To be continued...)
