Unknown Intrusion

Chapter 2 Encountering Evil Spirits
Su Yu gave a slight, cold laugh.

Practical experience shows that the mortality rate difference between those who receive only 3 days of training and those who go into battle without any training is 87%!

“I have no awakened memories, nor have I received any professional training, so it is very difficult.”

"Failure is actually to be expected!"

"You can't blame the natives for being incompetent!"

"Whether it's an accident or an assessment, it's completely unfair to the natives!"

Su Yu looked gloomy.

Therefore, to pass the test, one either needs intelligence far exceeding the average level or extraordinary luck, which 99% of people in the world do not possess.

This failure caused the natives to lose most of their already considerable talent in mysticism, turning them into mediocrity.

"Actually, even if your aptitude has declined, you still have a chance. There are clubs in school, and you joined one and learned something from it."

“But my mother was depressed at home, and the indigenous people had to take care of her often. In addition, I was immature at the time and did not exercise hard enough... In the end, I was a little short and only went to a regular high school.”

“I had a sliver of hope after attending a regular high school, but my mother’s condition worsened, and I had to work frequently, so my studies fell apart, let alone mystical education…”

Exhaling a sigh of frustration, Su Yu's eyes grew even sharper.

"One wrong step leads to many more!"

"In the end, we had to sell it... The invitation that my father risked his life to get was only worth 50 gold sea dragons. This was the biggest mistake we ever made."

Gold, silver, and brass are all legal tender, representing gold, silver, and brass respectively. Each coin weighs 5 grams and is 90% pure. If I recall correctly, the current exchange rate for gold, silver, and brass is 1:20:2000. Therefore, 1 gold sea dragon = 20 silver sea dragons = 2000 brass starfish.

1金海龙类似前世2000元，1银海妖类似前世100元，1铜海星类似前世1元

50 Golden Sea Monsters equal 10 yuan.

At the time, the host thought that 50 gold sea dragons was a lot, but he also had a vague regret about selling them. However, he had no choice but to make this decision for the sake of money.

Looking back now, that invitation was probably quite valuable; it was sold for a pittance.

"After graduating from high school, my studies were mediocre and I wasted my time, but fortunately I had some foundation. After going around in circles, I was able to make a living and eventually met my boss."

Suddenly, a pair of eyes appeared in my memory.

"Ha ha……"

His hands clenched unconsciously, gripping tightly, and Su Yu's eyes lost their warmth.

"The boss is a mysterious materials merchant who has been in this business for decades. It's impossible that he doesn't know how to protect himself, yet he didn't tell me at all..."

Mystery is dangerous.

If an ordinary person rashly gets involved in something mysterious without sufficient protective measures, their fate is basically sealed.

But the boss completely ignored this point.

From this perspective, the host at that time, as well as the mother, were destined to meet their doom.

This can be considered Kong Yiji's way of testing people with the word "回" (hui), but the price is death.

but……

"She shouldn't have had this accident."

A beautiful figure reappeared in his memory, and Su Yu felt a surge of warmth in his heart.

"At that time, she should have already been officially employed and was capable of resisting the mysterious invasion."

She was the girl next door who grew up with him. They had been friends since their fathers' generation, and he had even had a budding crush on her back then.

Even in her final years, she never gave up on herself. When her mother had an accident and was hospitalized, she helped her to the hospital and paid the medical expenses in advance.

Unfortunately, when I arrived there, I heard that she had been robbed and stabbed to death.

Then, a speeding carriage slammed into him, knocking him to the side of the road and impaling him on the spikes of the fence...

A shadow fell over his eyes, and the pain in his heart spread like ink stains.

He clutched his chest, finding it difficult to breathe, as if he had returned to that moment.

After a long while, he finally managed to squeeze out a few words through gritted teeth.

"impossible."

Su Yu's certainty was based on evidence.

Even someone as mediocre as myself could use a little bit of mystery to get a high school diploma, get a job at a trading company, and then get promoted and change jobs.

Not to mention, she's had at least six years of complete training. And her coach even provides her with protective gear… she's practically his own daughter!
It's possible to be robbed, almost impossible to be robbed, and even less likely to be killed.

What kind of robber could rob her?
ridiculous!

"He deliberately sabotaged my boss, stabbed her robber to death, and rammed my carriage to death..."

With my eyes closed, each and every event flashed through my mind like a series of fleeting memories.

Ultimately... it points to a scenario.

The elegant woman who delivered the invitation, her meaningful gaze, and her words of advice.

"You must cherish it and keep it safe. This is what your father wanted to leave to you, even at the cost of his life!"

At the time, I didn't realize that this advice and that look seemed to carry some kind of insight.

Unfortunately, I was young then and soon forgot about it.

"Looking back now, there are indeed risks in going to sea, but my father has been in the industry for many years and never goes into dangerous areas, so he shouldn't have lost his life."

"But that time, he unusually made arrangements for his last affairs, and he indeed never came back."

"So, what was the value of that invitation letter, which my father risked his life for?"

"And why didn't you just tell me?"

Upon closer examination, this place is full of mysteries.

Unfortunately, after her father died, her mother's condition worsened, she was often mentally unstable, and she never gave any explanation to herself.

Gradually, it faded from memory.

"No, that's not all!"

“Everyone’s fate is different. The things I’ve traded for my father’s life might be used to scheme against me, but it wouldn’t warrant killing her!”

Su Yu browsed through the host's memories.

"The teacher is definitely a professional, and a seasoned one at that. Is it too much to offend a seasoned professional and kill a professional just for an invitation?"

Su Yu, with his far superior experience and insight compared to his host, immediately grasped this point.

"Street thugs might be mindless monsters, but they aren't!"

"There must be some secret here that I don't know!"

"But it doesn't matter. The hourglass gave me a second chance, and I returned to the year I was fourteen."

Su Yu clenched his fists.

"Furthermore, once my memories are awakened, I can undo all of this!"

"Let's start by initializing the system."

His gaze fell on the hourglass, and as he moved, something seemed to change around him; a dark, discordant atmosphere emerged.

At the same time, a gentle breeze arose, and in the wind came a mournful sound, as if weeping.

"It's so cold!"

Su Yu frowned slightly, lowered his gaze, and saw the screen floating in his field of vision with a faint blue light.

"Initiating the initialization task—whether by accident or intention, you are in danger—deal with the evil spirits you have encountered!"

"Was it a misunderstanding, or was it intentional?"

"Hmph, just as I expected!"

Pressing aside this guess, Su Yu leaned back in his chair, turned to look around, and focused his gaze on what was behind him.

It was a very small window, with black curtains drawn, through which thick white fog could be seen.

Holding his breath, he calmly and slowly drew back the curtains. The fog outside was pale white, swirling slowly without any change.

"According to the mystical knowledge learned by the native host, evil spirits are not scary."

"Citizens of the kingdom, residents of counties and cities, and even the neighborhoods and houses themselves are protected with mysterious significance!"

"Otherwise, one evil spirit could kill all the ordinary people!"

"Everything that exists has a reason. There must be a reason why ordinary people can exist and even live normal lives!"
