Reversing the Milky Way

Meanwhile, Song Biao on the second floor was attracted by the red light outside the balcony. Bai Cheng saw that the time was right and quickly bent down, but he didn't expect that such a simple action would be as slow as a tortoise in Bai Cheng's eyes. 'This... have I become the Flash?'

Without thinking twice, he immediately picked up his suitcase, stepped onto the edge of the balcony, and pushed off with both legs, a movement that took a long ten seconds to complete. Then, his feet slowly left the ground, and to onlookers, it looked as if he were flying.

At this moment, Bai Cheng had already jumped up, and he was now about 20 centimeters above the balcony. Song Biao also noticed Bai Cheng's abnormality. He immediately drew his pistol, intending to shoot Bai Cheng, but as he was drawing his gun, he sensed something was wrong. His movements were unusually slow, but his mind was unaffected.

"What...what exactly is going on?" Song Biao was thinking to himself.

At this moment, Bai Cheng also noticed Song Biao's actions. He quickly tried to use his suitcase to shield himself, but his movements were unusually slow. Then he saw Song Biao raise his hand, his pistol aimed at Bai Cheng. Bai Cheng had already used his suitcase to shield himself, with the front of the suitcase facing upwards and the handle hanging right in front of him. He huddled behind the suitcase.

Normally, Bai Cheng would never be able to perform such a difficult move, but in this situation, he can change his control over his body at any time. It's like playing cards with your opponent, but both of you have your cards up your sleeve and know what the other is going to do next.

At this moment, although Song Biao had already aimed his gun at Bai Cheng, he could only see the outline of the suitcase. The scene seemed to have stood still, turning into art.

Song Biao hesitated for a moment before firing. As soon as the trigger was pulled, a loud bang was heard, and a huge flash of light erupted from the muzzle. Then, a bullet shot straight toward Bai Cheng. It has to be said that the bullet was very fast. Even with time slowed down tenfold, Bai Cheng only saw the incoming bullet, but his body didn't have time to react. To be precise, although his thoughts caught up, his body seemed to be resisted by an invisible force, and his movements couldn't keep up.

Fortunately, he had reacted in advance, knowing the other party was about to fire, which saved him from harm. The incoming bullet struck the suitcase, producing a faint spark. However, the bullet did not penetrate the suitcase; instead, it changed its trajectory after hitting the suitcase and passed right by Bai Cheng.

Upon seeing this, Bai Cheng felt relieved. It seemed the suitcase was of good quality and not some counterfeit product. However, an unexpected event occurred: just then, a blue light suddenly appeared above Bai Cheng, amidst the red energy. The light shone exceptionally brightly within the red energy's embrace.

The light, spinning like a meteor, struck Bai Cheng's suitcase in an instant, hitting the handle squarely. Its speed seemed unaffected by time, or perhaps it was slowed down tenfold, but it still hit the handle like a normal bullet, shattering it instantly!

In that instant, the strange stone hidden inside the suitcase handle was also exposed. To Bai Cheng's surprise, the mysterious stone was also emitting a faint blue light. In that instant, he also saw clearly what had shattered his suitcase handle. It was actually a fragment, which emitted a faint blue light. Upon closer inspection, one could even see that the fragment reflected Bai Cheng's image.

However, the moment the fragment touched the mysterious stone, the stone seemed to be stimulated, instantly disintegrating into grains about the size of fine salt, each grain emitting a faint blue glow. Then, these tiny grains were continuously absorbed by the mirror-like fragment, but before they were fully absorbed, the fragment struck Bai Cheng's heart. This happened almost instantly, and Bai Cheng couldn't help but exclaim, "Holy crap!"

Because time was slowed down tenfold under the influence of the red energy, Bai Cheng could clearly feel the enormous impact when the fragments touched his body. Under this impact, his clothes were instantly shattered as if made of paper, and then a violent pain came from his chest. Blood gushed from his mouth and heart at the same time. However, after the fragments hit Bai Cheng's heart, they seemed to lose momentum and did not penetrate Bai Cheng's body, but remained at Bai Cheng's heart.

The tiny grains of sand, as if affected by the fragments, surged wildly into Bai Cheng's heart and were absorbed by the fragments inside. Gradually, all the sand formed from that stone was absorbed, and the mysterious fragment began to emit energy fluctuations.

The shockwave flowed through Bai Cheng's heart and blood vessels, spreading throughout his body and simultaneously repairing the damaged areas. At this moment, Bai Cheng felt as if his heart was about to explode, as if a red-hot iron ball had been placed inside him, and the blood flowing through his veins was as hot as boiling water.

Tormented by this feeling, Bai Cheng screamed, his enormous roar echoing throughout the street. At this moment, Song Biao, standing on the balcony, was dumbfounded. He also saw the blue light shoot straight into Bai Cheng's body, and then, to his astonishment, he saw blue light gradually emerge from Bai Cheng's chest, and with his heart-wrenching scream, the blue light extended from his heart to his entire body.

Under the influence of the blue light, the body, which was originally red, gradually turned from red to blue. From a distance, it looked like a piece of glass about to shatter, covered in cracks. Upon closer inspection, it was revealed that the dense blood vessels on Bai Cheng's body had turned blue due to the energy fluctuations of the fragments.

At this moment, the two henchmen standing outside were also dumbfounded. One of them even dropped the cigarette he was smoking in shock. Then they saw the blue light emanating from Bai Cheng's body grow brighter and brighter, and then his body began to gradually dissipate. Bai Cheng glanced at his body and felt the pain coming from all parts of his body become even more intense. Slowly, his body began to disappear from all around him. With a heart-wrenching roar, Bai Cheng finally vanished into the air.

Just three seconds after Bai Cheng disappeared, the red energy that enveloped Blue Star vanished instantly. All the areas covered by the red energy on Blue Star returned to normal in an instant, and people recovered from the influence of the red energy. They raised their hands in fear, trying to feel if there were any changes in their bodies, but they felt nothing and felt no discomfort at all.

At this moment, Song Biao, who was standing on the balcony, came to his senses. One of his underlings came up to him and said, "Brother Biao, what happened to that kid? How come he disappeared after you fired a shot?" The underlings may not have seen clearly, but Song Biao, who fired the shot, saw it clearly. His bullet was clearly deflected by Bai Cheng's suitcase. Something else must have hit Bai Cheng.

After hearing his underling's words, Song Biao said with a look of surprise, "No, I didn't hit him. Quickly report this to Vice President Ye."

At this moment, in the top-secret headquarters of the Dragon Kingdom, Yan Qingshan had recovered from the situation. He immediately ordered all citizens in the country to undergo human body analysis and dispatched a scientific investigation team to conduct a survey of all land in the Dragon Kingdom to prevent any unforeseen events. However, he did not notice that on the windowsill outside the room, a plant that had long since died and withered had regrown, and was even larger and more lush than before.

In a room at the Northern Energy Group, Ye Wenbin stood with his hands behind his back, while his eight underlings recounted their experiences.

"You're saying he disappeared from your sight?"

At this moment, Song Biao said with a surprised look, "That's right, he just disappeared right before our eyes, and we didn't find anything." Song Biao's words made Ye Wenbin think carefully. If it were before, he definitely wouldn't have believed it. If anyone said such a thing, he would definitely have slapped them. But after personally experiencing that strange event, he had no choice but to believe it. Besides, they had all seen it. They were all Ye Wenbin's most loyal subordinates. They couldn't all be conspiring to deceive him, could they?

He then sighed and said, "Fine, let's leave it at that. You can all leave now." After saying that, the eight henchmen all left the room, leaving only Ye Wenbin with his eyes closed, as if he were thinking about something.

(In my mind...)

"Where am I?" Bai Cheng looked at the incredibly familiar surroundings before him. This scene was exactly the same one he had seen in his dream. "Wasn't I dead? No, wait, it seems like I was hit by something, and then... disappeared?" After saying that, he looked at the scene before him. Although it was the same dream he had been having for the past few days, this time it felt completely real, as if he were right there in the scene. He could clearly feel the energy bursting out from the crack, and the only difference was that the last red energy did not fly away into the distance, but flew straight towards him.

Under this immense energy, he felt as if a mountain was rushing towards him. Then, he was instantly engulfed by this enormous energy, which pressed down on him, rendering him unable to move. Just then, a blue light emanated from the center of the massive red energy and shot straight towards Bai Cheng. Bai Cheng saw his vision growing brighter and brighter until he was gradually submerged by the blue light.

The next moment, Bai Cheng woke up. He slowly opened his eyes and saw rows of rough wooden beams. He slowly sat up and looked around.

This was an old house, and the bed beneath him seemed completely out of place in his time. The floor of the room was paved with large stone slabs, and in front of the bed was a wooden screen painted with landscapes and animals, though Bai Cheng had never seen any of the animals before.

Bai Cheng was completely bewildered by what had happened. He remembered that he was dead, no, to be precise, he had disappeared. He clearly remembered his body slowly disappearing and the scene when he was hit in the chest. Thinking of this, he touched his chest again and was surprised to find that his clothes had been changed and the wound on his chest was gone. The clothes looked like those worn by people in ancient times, which Bai Cheng had often seen on TV.

He then slowly got off the bed, tiptoed out of the inner room, and came to the hall. On the central wall of the hall hung a painting of a woman with delicate features, bangs on both sides of her hair falling to her chest, wearing a blue ancient-style robe with cloud patterns on it, and standing on a flying sword. She looked ethereal and otherworldly.

Neatly arranged wooden tables and chairs lined both sides of the hall. Although made of wood, they appeared to be exquisitely crafted with fine carvings. Bai Cheng then stepped out of the house. After a flash of light, he saw a courtyard paved with stone bricks. In one corner of the courtyard, many green plants grew, and next to them were stone tables and benches. A little girl, who looked to be about fifteen years old, was sitting on one of the tables and reading a book. She wore an orange and white dress and had long pigtails with a bell on each side of her hair.

On the other side of the courtyard stood a middle-aged man with a piece of wood in front of him. He wielded a long axe and chopped down with force, breaking the wood in two with a sharp crack. His movements were fluid and graceful.

The little girl noticed Bai Cheng at that moment, put down her book, looked at him, and said, "You're awake?" Her voice was clear and melodious, refreshing the mind. The middle-aged man chopping wood nearby also stopped what he was doing, looked at Bai Cheng, and said, "Young man, you're awake?"

Bai Cheng looked at the two people in front of him and asked, "Where is this place? And who are you people?"

"This is Yu Family Village, and we are the villagers of Yu Family Village. My name is Yu Qing'an." After saying that, he glanced at the girl sitting on the stone bench and continued, "This is my daughter, Yueling. You can call her Ling'er. What's your name?"

Bai Cheng replied, "My name is Bai Cheng."

Yu Qing'an was clearly taken aback when he heard the name, and then said, "Your name is Bai Cheng? Are you from the Bai family?"

Bai Cheng was also taken aback after hearing this: "What Bai family? My name is just Bai Cheng. By the way, why am I here? Did you save me?"

After hearing this, Yu Qing'an immediately replied, "Yes, you've been unconscious for three days. I found you under a tree behind Yu Family Village. You were covered in blood, which startled me."

After hearing this, Bai Cheng began to ponder. Could it be that he had been teleported elsewhere and escaped unscathed? It seemed the energy had transported him to an unfamiliar location. He looked around the courtyard and muttered to himself, "Even if I was teleported elsewhere, this is too remote. Is this some backwater in the mountains? I haven't seen a single modern facility; it's all so outdated."

Bai Cheng then shook his head and asked without thinking much, "Uncle Yu, thank you for saving me, but I have something urgent to contact outside. Can I borrow your phone?"
