Origin System, I have a barren mountain

Lord Liu had been thinking of finding a place to rest first, but before he even entered the shop, he noticed countless eyes staring at him.

His unfriendly and wary gaze swept over him, as if he might pounce at any moment.

Lord Liu immediately left the shop and stood outside.

Only then did he notice that everyone's eyes were on him.

“They were all staring at us; these people didn’t seem friendly.”

Lord Liu said softly.

No one noticed what Lord Liu was saying; they just thought he was talking to himself.

Cheng Yunmo, inside the jade pendant, did not see the scene that Lord Liu had witnessed.

"Wait, where are you going?"

Cheng Yunmo asked.

"I'll find another place, otherwise I'll feel very uncomfortable being watched all the time."

The unfamiliar place made him subconsciously want to find a place to stay.

Cheng Yunmo subconsciously thought of the scenes she had witnessed when she first arrived in the neighboring town.

"No, don't go there."

Lord Liu did not listen; he had already subconsciously moved to a place where there were few people around.

Just then, Lord Liu was about to walk deeper into the alley when he suddenly stopped and subconsciously looked around.

What he saw was unbelievable: there were actually skeletons all around.

Seeing bones isn't scary; what's scary is that in a place covered by bones and clothing, there are faint, rustling sounds that can't be heard for some reason.

Lord Liu found the scene extremely terrifying, even in broad daylight.

As if some monster was about to burst forth, Lord Liu instinctively moved closer to the wall, wanting to get a glimpse, but he was too late to run, because elsewhere, many eyes were fixed intently on him.

Is it a dog?

Lord Liu couldn't help but ask with suspicion.

However, along with the pile of bones, a fragmented machine suddenly appeared.

For some reason, the machine seemed to be consciously moving towards Lord Liu. Lord Liu originally thought it was something terrifying, but when he saw it was this, he didn't feel scared. He was a little curious and prepared to go forward and take a look.

Cheng Yunmo was originally inside the jade pendant, so she couldn't see much of the area, unlike Lord Liu. When she belatedly saw the machine, it looked like it had been disassembled by something, leaving only a very small part.

"No, Lord Liu, don't go near it!"

Cheng Yunmo couldn't explain why, but he just felt that getting close to this thing might be dangerous.

"Oh dear, Lord Cheng, you're a modern person, after all. Although I've never seen this before, it's clearly a machine we've seen before. I don't know how it ended up as such a broken thing. What's there to be afraid of?"

Cheng Yunmo was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously said, "I have seen a limited number of machines, but I have never heard of a machine that can follow us so recklessly. Look at it, it has no screen and nothing intact, yet it can come straight at us."

What she saw in front of her was a pile of broken scrap metal, which somehow turned into a machine that could follow them and accurately pursue them. This thing didn't look ordinary at all.

However, since arriving in the modern world, Lord Liu has developed a great deal of curiosity.

When Lord Liu saw this scene, his first instinct was to go over and join in the fun, so he wouldn't listen to any advice and even reached out to touch the broken machine.

Somehow, the machine grabbed Lord Liu's arm.

Before Lord Liu could even marvel at the machine's wonders, he saw it suddenly seem to gain consciousness, grabbing his arm and tearing it to pieces.

Caught completely off guard, Lord Liu couldn't help but let out a wail of pain.

"Get away! Get out of my way!"

Lord Liu's face was deathly pale. He looked at the blood flowing from his arm, which had been grabbed, and most importantly, the area around his arm was torn apart. This horrific scene was something he had never expected.

When Cheng Yunmo saw this scene, she was also a little anxious. She wanted to help Lord Liu but there was nothing she could do. She could only watch helplessly as Lord Liu passed away.

Finally, Lord Liu gritted his teeth, stomped his foot, and forcefully scraped the pile of machines off his arm before finally getting them to the ground. The machines were still moving wildly on the ground.

"This, this is terrifying! This thing can actually attack people?"

Lord Liu couldn't help but speak up at this moment.

Cheng Yunmo was terrified when he saw this scene. If such a serious injury is not treated in time, he doesn't know if Lord Liu's arm will ever be able to function properly again.

"Let's go, let's get to the hospital right away."

Cheng Yunmo hurriedly said.

Lord Liu didn't think much about it at the time. After taking a few steps, he suddenly realized that even if he went to the hospital now, would anyone be willing to treat him?

Don't forget, the way these people were looking at them was hostile. Going there might just be walking into a trap.

Cheng Yunmo saw that even at this moment, Lord Liu finally remembered the danger those people posed.

"Never mind that. We've already come this far. There's no way we can escape on our own. If your arm doesn't get treated soon, it'll be ruined."

Lord Liu also knew that Lord Cheng was right.

Just as Lord Liu said, they were arrested as soon as they arrived at the hospital, before they could even receive treatment.

Lord Liu thought to himself, "There's definitely no way out."

Strangely, when an old woman saw him in the hospital corridor, a look of surprise flashed in her eyes. She wasn't looking at him, but rather at the jade pendant he was clutching tightly in his hand.

At this moment, Lord Liu had a sudden inspiration and thought that they might know each other.

So the jade pendant was deliberately displayed in front of the old woman again, and sure enough, the old woman's eyes showed a somewhat confused look.

It was only at this moment that Cheng Yunmo noticed the old woman's presence and realized that she was actually herself from the modern era—the old woman who ran the inn.

"Grandma, what are you doing here?"

Cheng Yunmo subconsciously opened her mouth to speak, but then realized that apart from Lord Liu, the old woman couldn't hear her at all.

Unexpectedly, the old woman suddenly walked slowly up to Lord Liu, stopped him, and began to speak.

"Could you let me take a look at this jade pendant?"

The people around Lord Liu looked at the old lady and Lord Liu with suspicion.
