Why didn't anyone tell me this is a parallel world?

This is one of the previously abandoned story openings.

I thought about it for a long time, and actually I really like this beginning, so I decided to post it for everyone to see.

—1—Stories often begin from extraordinary daily life

The world has two sides.

There will be darkness where there is light, and light will be born in a dark environment.

Xia Liuying knew this deeply.

When a pair of hands covered her mouth and dragged her away from the crowd, she knew that she was already in darkness.

……

"Brother Kai, isn't this too risky? Just for such a..."

Xia Liuying felt a pair of hands pinching her chin. The rough touch made her feel uncomfortable, but her eyes felt like they were filled with lead and she could not open them further.

"Oh, you're awake. It turns out that older people need to take a larger dose."

After struggling to open her eyes, Xia Liuying saw a man with a hideous smile in front of her. Her heart stopped beating for a moment, and the memories before she fell into a coma slowly returned to her mind.

After the high school entrance examination, I made an appointment with a friend to go shopping for new clothes at Feihong Department Store. While waiting for my friend to arrive in the square, a green powdery substance suddenly appeared in front of me.

Then, her consciousness began to blur. Her body still had some strength, but before she could move, a pair of cold and slippery hands suddenly appeared from behind her, covered her mouth, stopped all her movements, and dragged her to an empty corner behind her.

There were clearly many pedestrians in front of her, but no one seemed to notice her until her vision was completely shrouded in darkness and her consciousness completely disappeared.

"Why isn't she talking? Brother Kai, is she a mute?"

The man who was pinching Xia Liuying's chin shook her left and right, but the girl who woke up just remained quiet and silent. Only from the occasional trembling of her pupils could one tell that she was uneasy.

"Okay, Li Ping, watch your hands. If you damage her face and I can't sell it for a good price, I'll chop your hands off and feed them to the dogs."

The man leaning against the container and smoking glanced over coldly.

Li Ping smiled awkwardly and retracted his hand. "Brother Kai, I'm just curious. This girl isn't that pretty. Can she really be sold for a high price?"

Brother Kai glanced at the girl behind Li Ping, who was sitting on the ground with her hands tied behind her back, looking exceptionally quiet. She was wearing an ordinary white short-sleeved shirt and black pants. They were not cheap street stall items, nor were they branded items. She was probably from an average family with a modest income.

She has a simple ponytail, no makeup, and no accessories on her body. She must be a well-behaved and sensible child.

But all this could not conceal the girl's overly pure and beautiful appearance, just like a white lotus, clean, pure and charming.

The first moment you see her appearance, you can feel pity in your heart.

"Top quality." Brother Kai judged.

Most people have different aesthetic tastes. Some people like bright and flamboyant beautiful looks, while others like the plain and pure beauty.

"Apart from telling the size of breasts and buttocks, what else can your dog eyes tell?" Brother Kai pouted, not bothering to pay attention to Li Ping. He took out his cell phone, checked the time, and frowned.

"Li Dong, the time is almost up, why hasn't the car arrived yet? Go out and take a look."

A figure gradually emerged from the container that Brother Kai was leaning against, climbing on the edge in a deformed posture. The exposed skin was like that of an animal, dark green and covered with bulges, and responded with a damp and cold voice.

"Okay, Kai."

As the sound faded, the figure gradually disappeared, as if it had merged into the container in the background.

Xia Liuying's pupils contracted as she observed all this. She suddenly understood how she was taken away.

The other party should be a beast-transformation super-powered person, whose corresponding beast-transformation image is a chameleon, who can blend into the environment silently without being discovered.

What about the other two people? Xia Liuying moved her eyes and observed the other two people with her peripheral vision.

The name of the chameleon-beast-transformed superpower is Li Dong, and the man who just pinched Xia Liuying's chin is Li Ping... Are they brothers?

The man smoking and giving orders is the boss, called Brother Kai.

Judging from the conversation she heard when she just woke up, Li Ping's ability should be the green powder that made her unconscious. She should be a skill-based superpower, with skills related to green powder.

What about Brother Kai? What ability did he have? Xia Liuying had no idea. She could only comfort herself, keep calm, observe the surrounding environment, and look for a chance to escape.

This should be a supply warehouse under Feihong Department Store. The containers around are covered with Feihong Group’s trademark patterns, which are easy to identify.

After confirming that she had not been taken too far away, Xia Liuying breathed a sigh of relief. The nearest supply warehouse to Feihong Department Store was on the edge of Feihong Plaza. From the conversation she had heard before, she was sure that not too much time had passed and it was impossible for them to move to a farther place.

In other words, as long as we escape from this warehouse...

Xia Liuying raised her head. The roof of the warehouse was very high, more than ten meters. The roof was not transparent and the lights were not on. The whole environment seemed dim. The containers placed around were in a very messy and irregular position, making it difficult to distinguish the direction and position.

However, Xia Liuying looked at the direction of Brother Kai's body. He was the one who had just asked Li Dong to go out and check the situation in this direction.

In other words, we can be sure that there is a big gate in this direction.

Xia Liuying's eyes suddenly paused. Perhaps because the breathing sound behind her was too faint, she did not notice at first that there were several children around five or six years old tied up with her, lying in a mess behind her.

Maybe they were too confident and didn't think Xia Liuying could cause any trouble, so Brother Kai and the others just tied Xia Liuying's hands behind her back and didn't take any other measures.

Xia Liuying, who had already found a way to break free from the ropes, froze in place.

...Is she going to abandon these children behind her and run away by herself?

Xia Liuying took a deep breath and looked behind her. She saw several children lying on the ground, not even tied up, falling into a coma without any consciousness.

Of course she could ignore them, after all, she was only a 14-year-old child.

——But she couldn't do it.

"Brother Kai, the police are outside. The square is sealed off and cars can't get in."

Accompanied by the sound of friction and crawling, Li Dong reappeared above the container with a cold voice.

"Strange, why did the cop react so quickly?" Brother Kai frowned, but there was obviously no time left for him to think. After a little thought, he made a decisive judgment, his voice cold and cruel.

"Li Dong, take the girl with you and deal with the others."

Xia Liuying suddenly raised her head and looked at Brother Kai, but no one was paying attention to her at this moment, and no one thought she could cause any trouble.

"You take her and hide first, and the two of us will blend in with the tourists. As long as there is no evidence, they can't do anything to us. We will pick you up after we get out."

Brother Kai glanced at Xia Liuying and said, "Take her out, this trip will not be in vain."

"Brother Kai, what about him?" Li Ping picked up a little boy who was obviously dressed better than the other children from among a group of sleeping children.

Brother Kai looked down at his phone, which had no reply, and said fiercely, "Get rid of them together."

-2-

"It was a waste of time." Li Ping glanced at the other children on the ground with a look of pity on his face, but he did not refute Brother Kai's words. He threw the little boy in his hand to the ground casually, intending to deal with this one first.

"Medicine powder, corrosion!"

A ball of dark green powder appeared in the air as Li Ping spoke, carrying a certain sense of danger.

Li Dong also slowly climbed down from the container and slowly approached Xia Liuying, preparing to take her out of here first.

There was no time to hesitate. Xia Liuying understood that at this moment, she had to make a choice immediately - to escape... or...

Her breathing gradually became smoother, her attention became extremely clear, the ropes tied around her wrists behind her back fell down silently, and a pair of furry black cat ears quietly appeared above Xia Liuying's head.

Before the dangerous powder fell, Xia Liuying crossed several meters at an exaggerated speed, reached out and pulled the unconscious little boy out of the range of the green powder.

"Huh?" The three people were stunned at the same time, and then reacted one after another.

"Catch her."

Brother Kai's expression turned gloomy, and he looked at the knot that had been broken free but was intact.

"Medicine powder!" Li Ping controlled the large ball of green powder to change its direction and flew towards Xia Liuying. Xia Liuying only had time to raise one arm to shield her face, and a severe burning pain came from her arm.

Before he could cry out in pain, Xia Liuying held the little boy in her arms with her other hand and jumped back several times to avoid more green powder and a pair of cold and slippery hands that kept reaching out from the ground.

Li Dong crawled on the ground like a gecko, stretching out a pair of hands from time to time, grabbing and waving at Xia Liuying's ankles, but in comparison, his speed was too slow and was easily dodged by Xia Liuying.

After keeping some distance, Xia Liuying quickly put down the unconscious little boy. She did not have enough strength to carry such a burden, or rather, she did not even have hope of escaping.

She just couldn't do it, watching an innocent life disappear in front of her eyes. Even though she couldn't do anything, she wanted to try to do something.

…There are police outside, they should be able to find this place soon.

Xia Liuying prayed, hoping that her actions could hold these people back for a while. As long as they didn't have time to attack the children before the police arrived, the police would be able to rescue them.

Xia Liuying prayed sincerely that he would appear before she was caught.

Xia Liuying became more and more focused, trying her best to ignore the pain of the wound and sense her cat form, which she rarely showed. Her body was very light and soft, and she could make many exaggerated movements freely. The pair of furry cat ears on top of her head could hear more subtle sounds than human ears, and her pupils, which were erected like those of a wild animal, provided a clearer vision in this dim environment.

A cat tail appeared out of nowhere, even though it was not on the main body, and it came out from the edge of the pants, balancing the body.

Facing Li Dong after he transformed into a chameleon, Xia Liuying even had a feeling of being crushed in terms of speed. After all, from her perspective, the opponent's movements were too slow.

Of course, the opponent is an adult, so once Xia Liuying is caught, she will definitely be crushed by the opponent in terms of strength and will be unable to break free. She can only keep using her flexibility to dodge.

"Brother Kai, she's a cat, too agile, I can't catch her."

After just exercising for a while, Li Dong's voice began to sound breathless. It seemed that not only was his speed low, but his physical strength was also a weakness.

Brother Kai glanced at Li Dong coldly. If it weren’t for the fact that his ability was useful, he wouldn’t want to take this piece of trash with him. He turned to look at Li Ping.

Li Ping also looked very embarrassed, with sweat constantly oozing from his forehead. It was unclear whether it was because he had consumed a lot of his abilities or because he was not physically strong enough.

Li Ping divided the green powder into several portions and controlled them to fly towards Xia Liuying in different directions and angles, but Xia Liuying's reaction was too fast and she was always able to dodge it with a seemingly small deviation, making it seem like he had done a lot of useless work.
