2 Awakening

The female voice continuously sounded in Zhou Bai's ear, "How is it? Did it work? The power of the Primordial Spirit can move objects from afar, injure people invisibly; whatever you think, it can do..."

'Isn't this just telekinesis?' Zhou Bai thought slightly, and then he felt an invisible force spreading out from his consciousness, extending into the real world.

Boom! The big iron door was finally slammed open, and a monster made entirely of rotten flesh, as if assembled from countless dismembered limbs, walked in, its pale pupils staring in Zhou Bai's direction.

Zhou Bai instinctively activated the power of the Primordial Spirit, and saw the air twist slightly. An invisible force, carrying a breeze, swept across the monster, tightly binding it in front of him.

Zhou Bai's face showed joy, "It worked?!"

But the next moment, the monster's body only paused slightly and then charged towards Zhou Bai against the power of the Primordial Spirit. Although its movements were slower, it still approached Zhou Bai step by step.

Zhou Bai's expression changed, and he immediately reacted. Looking at the panel in his mind, he added all the remaining 9 points of lazy energy to the Primordial Spirit value with one breath.

The numbers behind the Primordial Spirit value changed rapidly, instantly going from 1 to 10.

Boom! The power of the Primordial Spirit suddenly surged, the original force acting on the monster pressing the air, making a light bang. Accompanied by the air explosion, the monster was directly flung out like a toy.

Zhou Bai excitedly watched this scene, but before he could think more, his vision went black, and he fainted completely.

...

Zhou Bai vaguely opened his eyes, feeling his brain throb with pain.

In front of him was an unfamiliar ceiling, and he smelled what seemed like disinfectant at the tip of his nose.

The sound of chewing crackled, and Zhou Bai instinctively looked up, seeing a little blond girl in a white dress by the bedside.

The little girl was holding some cookies, her mouth full of crumbs. At this moment, her sapphire-like eyes widened suddenly, covering her small mouth, then looked at Zhou Bai in panic.

"I didn't steal your cookies!"

Looking at the unfamiliar environment and the stranger in front of him, Zhou Bai was stunned for a moment and instinctively asked, "Who are you? Where am I?"

The little girl acted as if she hadn't heard him, hurriedly ran out of the room, shouting, "He's awake! The person we picked up is awake!! And he ate all the cookies!"

Zhou Bai pursed his lips, slowly got up from the bed, and felt the changes in his body.

"My body..."

He suddenly lifted the white robe he was wearing, revealing a somewhat unfamiliar body, looking thin and weak. He turned his head towards a nearby mirror and saw a young version of himself, looking only seventeen or eighteen years old.

"What the... why did I become so much younger?" Zhou Bai instinctively touched his face, somewhat shocked, "But honestly, I was really handsome when I was young."

At this moment, the door opened again, and the little blond girl brought in a middle-aged man with black hair and black eyes. The man was tall but had a gloomy expression.

He looked at Zhou Bai coldly and said, "Awake? Come over here to register..."

"Wait..." Zhou Bai got up from the bed, hastily saying, "Where am I? Why do I look like this? Can I borrow a phone to make a call..."

The gloomy man frowned, "Register and check first..." Then he turned and left, muttering, "Another crazy one..."

Zhou Bai could only follow helplessly, the blond little girl beside him, looking curiously at him, circling him, "Big brother, did you come from outside?"

"Big brother, do you have more cookies?"

"Big brother, why aren't you talking?"

Zhou Bai had no mood to answer the little girl's chatter. His mind was full of confusion about this sudden strange place, the strangers he encountered, his unfamiliar body, and what happened before he fainted.

Everything made him feel at a loss.

Suddenly, he looked up, his eyes scanning the corridors on both sides. He saw doors slowly opening, revealing the heads of little kids looking at him as he walked through. They cautiously observed Zhou Bai, their eyes filled with curiosity and vigilance.

'The youngest looks about seven or eight, and the oldest looks no more than fifteen or sixteen.' Zhou Bai mumbled in his heart, 'And there are all kinds of races, including Asians, Caucasians, and Africans. What is this place?'

'Before I fainted...' Zhou Bai recalled the events before he fainted and focused his attention in his mind. Sure enough, the Heavenly Calamities Cultivation Support System reappeared in his mind.

Tao Transformation: 0%

Primordial Spirit Value: 10

Divine Diagram: Heavenly Calamities

Lazy Energy: 0

'This thing... seems to be invented specifically to assist in cultivating the so-called Heavenly Calamities. Judging from the Lazy Energy, this thing might be a super cheat code.'

But when Zhou Bai saw the 0 next to the Lazy Energy value in his mind, he was slightly stunned.

'That's not right. How long have I been lying in the hospital bed? Why is it still 0?'

Before he could think further, Zhou Bai had followed the gloomy man to a white door. The man turned and said to the little blond girl, "Elsa, wait here for us." Then he turned to Zhou Bai, "You, come in."

The little blond girl named Elsa nodded but then said, "Teacher, I'm hungry."

The gloomy man frowned and said, "Didn't you just have lunch?"

Elsa was stunned, a strong doubt flashing in her eyes, "But why am I still hungry!"

Sighing helplessly, the gloomy man said, "Wait here, I'll get you something to eat when we come out."

Zhou Bai followed the gloomy man into a room, finding it an office. The gloomy man sat behind the desk and pointed to the chair in front for Zhou Bai to sit.

Then he took out a stack of documents and asked Zhou Bai, "Name."

"Zhou Bai."

"Age."

Zhou Bai looked at his much younger body, "… I don't know."

"Where are you from?"

"China."

The gloomy man looked up, frowning, "China? Where is China?"

Zhou Bai was stunned, laughing, "You don't know where China is?" But then he suddenly froze. He realized that at this moment, including just now, the words he had spoken were not Chinese but a language he theoretically should not have learned, yet he strangely knew all its vocabulary and grammar as fluently as Chinese.

Upon waking up, he hadn't noticed, but now, paying a little attention, he was suddenly and sharply aware of the problem with the language.

'What is this language? It's completely absent from my previous memory...'

'This guy doesn't even know China, is it a translation issue, or...'

Despite the myriad questions in his heart, Zhou Bai saw the confused look on the strange man's face and forcibly suppressed his doubts, smiling, "A small place. Maybe you don't know it."
