Chapter 1: A Mysterious Express Delivery

Ling Feng is a small employee of a foreign-funded enterprise. For five consecutive years, he has been repeating the nine to five routine every day, living a dull and monotonous life. Sometimes, he always feels very dejected thinking, whether his life has been exhausted in a muddled and ordinary way.

However, at this moment, a strange thing happened that changed his lifelong fate.

One night not long ago, he received a mysterious delivery from a stranger, and from that moment on, his previous calm and boring life was finally completely shattered.

Ling Feng can still remember the scene of that day very clearly. It happened at midnight seven days ago. At that time, just after twelve o'clock, the community he lived in suddenly had a power outage. Suddenly, it was pitch black outside the window, and everything was quiet. He also turned off his laptop and prepared to go to bed.

"Dong! Dong! Dong! Dong!..."

However, at this moment, a deep and powerful knocking sound suddenly came from the anti-theft door of the living room. At that time, Ling Feng felt very strange in his heart. He didn't understand who would come to his rental place in the dark at such a late time to find him.

With a heart full of doubts, Ling Feng got up and opened the anti-theft door of the living room. At this moment, a tall stranger stood outside the door. Due to the power outage just now, the street lights in the stairwell also went out. Therefore, Ling Feng could only see the stranger's body shape clearly at that time, not his appearance and age.

At this moment, the stranger standing in the darkness suddenly heard his hoarse and raw voice in Ling Feng's ear. "Hello, are you Mr. Ling Feng?"

Ling Feng nodded in confusion and said, "Yes, I'm Ling Feng. Do you have anything to do with me?"

"This is your package, please check it!"

The stranger standing in the darkness suddenly handed a package to Ling Feng.

"Express delivery?"

Upon hearing that the other party was here to deliver the package, Ling Feng was taken aback for a moment and thought to himself, "Which courier company is he from? It's already early morning and he's still delivering packages. This work attitude is a bit too professional, isn't it?"! What puzzled him even more was that when the other party delivered the package, they didn't call to notify them. Also, the landlord installed an electronic sensing door downstairs of the building they rented, but there was no electronic lock to open the door. How did this stranger who delivered the package come in?

Thinking of this, Ling Feng took the package with confusion. With the light of his phone, he looked at the recipient on the package, whose name was indeed written on it. Suddenly, he signed for it with a skeptical expression on his face.

After receiving this package, Ling Feng hurriedly returned to his house to prepare to open it, wanting to see what was inside the package? Because it seems that he hasn't been shopping online recently, so who will be mailing this package to him?

But just as he returned to the room, the lights in the living room suddenly lit up and there was a call!

At this moment, he suddenly remembered that the downstairs apartment he rented was equipped with an electronic lock sensor door. If he hadn't taken the electronic key and helped the stranger who was delivering the package open the door, he wouldn't have been able to leave at all.

Thinking of this, Ling Feng hurriedly rushed to the stairwell outside, wanting to open the door for the stranger who was delivering the package. However, when he first rushed downstairs, the stranger who was delivering the package had already disappeared.

Suddenly, Ling Feng's heart twitched, secretly wondering how he got out?

Filled with doubts, Ling Feng returned to the room again. This time, with the help of bright lights, he carefully examined the package. Suddenly, he was surprised to find that both the sender and recipient of this package were written with their own names, and suddenly, he was dumbfounded!

Ling Feng shook his head and sighed, muttering to himself, "Who sent a package to him so carelessly that even the sender's name could be filled in incorrectly? This way, it's better. I don't even know who sent the package. Oh… forget it, I'm too lazy to bother with so much. Let's open it first and have a look."

The package was a bit heavy, and I didn't know what was inside. Under a burst of tearing from Ling Feng, the contents of the package were quickly revealed. The contents were a small square metal iron box, which was sealed very well, as if it contained some valuable items.

Seeing the metal box in front of him, Ling Feng was stunned for a moment, and then he curiously opened it.

Just as Ling Feng had just opened the metal box, a dazzling light suddenly shone out of the box, and he was greatly surprised. However, at this moment, Ling Feng suddenly felt a severe swelling and pain in his mind. Then, his eyes turned black and he fainted on the floor of the living room.

In a blur, Ling Feng felt like he had arrived at a very strange and unfamiliar place. The place was vast, and although he couldn't see the surrounding scenery clearly, he could feel the vastness of the place.

Ling Feng stood in terror, not daring to move at all. Looking around, a gray mist filled the air everywhere. Looking up, he couldn't see the color of the sky, looking down, he couldn't see the land under his feet. In short, everywhere around him was shrouded in a thick gray mist, endless and boundless.

Looking at the eerie and bizarre scene in front of him, Ling Feng was extremely frightened. He shouted frantically, but received no response at all. He wanted to escape this place, but was shrouded in thick fog, unable to distinguish between the southeast, northwest, and north. Finally, Ling Feng was afraid. Fear was like a tide, constantly spreading in his heart, and the clothes on his back were soaked through with cold sweat.

At this moment, Ling Feng was surprised to find that the fog in front of him suddenly surged and rolled back towards both sides. After a moment, a deep and bottomless passage appeared clearly in front of him.

At this moment, looking at the bottomless passage ahead, Ling Feng's pupils suddenly contracted because he noticed a tall and burly black figure appearing at the end of the passage.

The black figure was clearly far away from him, but in the blink of an eye, it appeared five meters away from him.

Ling Feng looked at the black figure in front of him in great fear, so nervous that even his breathing became rapid. Although the tall and burly black figure stood in front of him, he couldn't see the other person's clothing and appearance clearly. Because the other person was completely enveloped in a pitch black thick fog, and as the fog kept rolling over him, Ling Feng could vaguely see it clearly, The silhouette of a human figure hidden within thick fog.

At this moment, the black figure hidden in the thick fog suddenly slowly extended its thick arm and handed a black contract to Ling Feng. At this moment, a raw and ethereal voice sounded in Ling Feng's ear.

"With your blood, sign this contract of salvation, and everything in the unlimited arsenal will belong to you!"

Looking at the mysterious contract shining with eerie runes in front of him, Ling Feng suppressed his fear and asked with a trembling voice, "Who are you... and where is this place?"

The burly figure hidden in the black mist ignored his inquiries, and a gloomy and cold voice rang out in Ling Feng's ear once again. "With your blood, sign this contract of salvation, and everything in the unlimited arsenal will belong to you..."

"No... no!"

Ling Feng let out a scream and suddenly turned wildly, fleeing towards the depths of the mist.

He ran aimlessly and desperately in the endless mist, but no matter how fast he ran, the figure hidden in the black mist always followed closely behind him like a ghost, and the eerie and cold voice, like thunder, kept ringing in his ear.

"With your blood, sign this contract of salvation, everything in the unlimited arsenal will belong to you!..."

Finally, he was forced to be exhausted and helpless. At this moment, he could no longer bear it and roared hysterically on the spot, "* * It's not over, isn't it just signing this black contract? I signed it, and after signing it, * * don't come and pester me in the future!"

Ling Feng, emotionally excited, snatched the black contract shining with mysterious runes from his hand hidden in the rolling black mist. Without hesitation, he bit his finger and quickly wrote his name on it: Ling Feng!

Just as he had written his name on the black contract, suddenly all the mist around him began to surge and roll violently.

Immediately after, something shocking happened to Ling Feng. He saw the endless mist surging towards him, crazily pouring into his body. Suddenly, he felt waves of intense pain and swelling in his mind.

Fortunately, this intense swelling and pain did not last long before stopping.

At the moment when the pain of distance had just stopped, Ling Feng was horrified to find that all the mist surrounding him had disappeared, and the mysterious figure shrouded in thick black mist also disappeared without a trace.

As the fog dissipated, Ling Feng suddenly realized that he was now in a small warehouse with a radius of several tens of meters. At the end of the warehouse, on the wall, there was a huge LED like display screen, which shone with five large characters resembling huge billboards: Infinite Arsenal!

"Unlimited arsenal!"

Ling Feng was taken aback for a moment and muttered to himself with a puzzled expression, "What exactly is this place?..."

Suddenly, at this moment, the screen inside the screen underwent a sudden change, followed by the mysterious figure shrouded in black mist appearing within the screen. His cold and eerie voice was once again heard in Ling Feng's ear. "Ling Feng, remember that when you sign the contract of salvation, starting from today, you will bear the mission of salvation! And this infinite arsenal will continue to help you overcome difficulties and complete your mission of salvation!"

Looking at the mysterious figure appearing on the screen, Ling Feng was taken aback and exclaimed, "Save? Who do you want me to save?"

"Save everything you should save!..."

As this sentence sounded, the loud sound had gradually faded away, and in the end, the image on the screen had completely disappeared.

Buzz!

At this moment, Ling Feng suddenly felt a sharp buzzing sound coming from his brain, and then his eyes turned black and he fainted silently.

Huo

Ling Feng suddenly sat up from the floor, panting heavily and his chest constantly heaving violently. At this moment, he found that his forehead and spine were all soaked with sweat.

He looked around in shock and realized that he was lying on the floor of the living room. Suddenly, he realized clearly that what had just happened in the eerie mist was just a nightmare.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but let out a deep sigh of relief.

Suddenly, he remembered, how could he sleep on the floor of the living room?

Rubbing his head, he slowly remembered that he had suddenly fainted while opening the package. Before fainting, he saw a dazzling light shining out of the sealed metal box.

Thinking of these, Ling Feng was shocked and quickly searched for the package, wanting to see what mysterious thing was inside the metal box, and why he suddenly fainted when he opened it.

With full of doubts and unease, Ling Feng suddenly got up from the floor and searched everywhere, hoping to find the package he had just received. However, after searching in the living room for a long time, not only the metal iron box inside the package, but also the adhesive paper and cardboard box used for packaging the package were nowhere to be seen.

He clearly remembered that he had just opened the package on the coffee table. It didn't take long for this mysterious package he had just received to evaporate out of thin air!

At this moment, Ling Feng took out his phone, looked at the time, and was surprised to find that it was already 5 o'clock in the morning. That is to say, it has been five hours since he just received the mysterious package in the stranger's hand!

Ling Feng stared blankly at the empty coffee table, then remembered everything he had just experienced in his nightmare. Suddenly, a cold chill surged in his heart, and his scalp also tingled.

"What's going on? The mysterious package I received tonight, along with that eerie and terrifying nightmare, is it all just an illusion?"

Thinking of this, he felt a chaotic state in his mind and his mood became restless. He slowly closed his eyes, preparing to calm down his fluctuating emotions. However, at this moment, he felt a severe swelling and pain in his mind, which lasted for half an hour before it ended.

However, as soon as the intense swelling and pain in his mind came to an end, Ling Feng suddenly felt weak and exhausted, as if all his energy had been drained. After yawning wearily, he returned to his bedroom and fell asleep drowsily.
