Chapter 1 Daily Life

As his vision darkened, Tang Zheng was teleported out of the Trojan Room. Before he even opened his eyes, the cool night wind brushed against his cheeks. He took a deep breath, and the air, still carrying the chill of early spring, filled his lungs. That sensation gave him a taste of what it felt like to truly be alive.

"That's the thirteenth time already!" he exclaimed and pulled out his mobile phone to switch it on.

He was at a newly topped-off building where the scaffolding had been removed and interior work was underway. The sky was clear, dotted with stars, and the bright moonlight cast a silvery glow on the ground, like a beach of silver sand that was intoxicating.

The door to the rooftop hadn't been installed yet, which saved Tang Zheng a lot of trouble. However, just as he started to walk over, a faint gasp from a woman suddenly emanated from her throat, echoing in the air, hitting his eardrums, and progressively becoming more rapid and shrill.
