I became superman when I died

Chapter 3 Critical Institute
Jiang Bei had a very strange dream.

In the dream everything was normal at first, like any normal day in his uneventful life.After finishing his day's work, he went to the usual store to buy some daily necessities and then went home.
Until in the middle of the night, I suddenly met a psychopath in a white suit, and I had my heart out with him without saying a word.

The physical kind.

Then he woke up with a fright.

Jiang Bei woke up in a cold sweat, and his whole body was drenched in sweat.Then he let out a sigh of relief when he realized it was a dream.Anyway, the feeling of this dream was so real that for a moment he really thought he was going to burp.

The more than 30 GB of learning materials just downloaded from the hard disk last night did not have time to appreciate, and even the browsing records were not deleted.

After regaining his senses, Jiang Bei took a closer look at the situation in front of him, and was stunned for a moment.

strange ceiling
No, everything from the ceiling to the walls, doors and windows is strange.

A room full of sci-fi feeling, the walls are covered with silver-white metal.It didn't take him long to realize that he was in a queue, and that there were all kinds of people in front of and behind the queue, men, women, and children.The line stretched to a counter in front, and behind the counter sat a polite clerk.

There is a sign hanging on it: "Decedent's numbering place."

At the stall where he was still in a daze, a melodious and gentle female voice came from the side: "Hello, all the new deceased~"

Jiang Bei was startled, subconsciously followed the sound, and soon realized that the sound came from a speaker hanging in the corner of the room.

"There must be a lot of you wondering, what happened?
Please don't panic, don't be nervous, it's actually very simple - you're dead. "

Jiangbei:? ? ?
"Yes, since you have come to the critical place, it means that you are dead. People who unfortunately died in this world will come here." The female voice on the radio is still speaking, the voice is gentle and pleasant, "The next part is very important to you It is very important and will determine where you go in the future.

Please follow the instructions of the staff to get the number plate, do not push or crowd.We will be committed to providing you with the best quality and efficient service."

High-quality and efficient reincarnation service, right?
Jiangbei vaguely seemed to realize it.

No, that's not a dream.That was my own memory, something that really happened not long ago.

I am dead.

The moment he realized this, he suddenly felt a huge sense of emptiness sweeping over him, almost engulfing him whole.

Judging from the current situation, this may be a place similar to the underworld in people's imagination in the traditional sense.It's just that the style of painting is quite different from Jiangbei's past brain supplements.

There is no king of hell, no black and white impermanence, and it is not as dark and depressing as in TV dramas.The whole place feels more like a citizen's home to Jiangbei.

Perhaps the times have really changed, and even the underworld has been connected to WiFi.Jiangbei automatically imagined the scene of Yan Wangye playing games with a group of elementary school students with his mobile phone in the swivel seat comfortably with his legs crossed.You may even shout in the voice with red faces when you are in the pit to force your teammates, "I will immediately cross you from the book of life and death along the network cable when you are finished."

He felt a little cold, and soon realized that his heart, which had been working so hard for 20 years, seemed to have finally stopped.The blood in the vessels also stopped flowing, and every organ and every cell in the whole body was lifeless.

It was only then that Jiang Bei realized that he had never noticed the heartbeat or the flow of blood in the past 20 years, but thinking about it now, maybe it was because he had become accustomed to it.It's not until now that I've lost it that I realize how uncomfortable it is.

People are always like this, they have to wait until they are lost to realize the preciousness of things.Life itself is a miracle that lasts for decades, but only the passing moment will highlight its value.

Jiang Bei felt disheartened for a moment.He followed the queue like a machine, and he didn't know how he took the number plate from the clerk.Without even looking at it, he stuffed the sign into a pocket somewhere on his body.

What does it matter?They are all dead.

That huge, cold sense of emptiness reminds me all the time that I am just a walking dead with no vitality.For a moment he felt that nothing seemed to matter anymore.

"Please show your number plate."

He didn't know when he came to a door, or it was more like a customs security gate than a door.Several gates and service windows are placed side by side, and there is a gentle and elegant clerk behind each window.

"Please wait a moment, your bank value is being checked." The clerk took the number plate and began to click on his computer-like device again.

"Uh, what's the value?" Jiang Bei asked.

"Store value, a statistical method that reflects your current value." The clerk explained while operating, "It determines your future destination.

If your library value is very rarely higher than 51200, then congratulations, you can be qualified to enter the 'Utopia'. "

Jiang Bei was a little dazed.He has the impression of the term Utopia, which seems to be the work of the Greek philosopher Plato.But here it sounds more like a mythical concept of heaven.

It is the value of 51200 that makes people feel a little subtle.This made him feel that the style of painting in this underworld was a bit weird, and he even began to wonder whether God, the old man, was also his colleague, or even a Mediterranean.
But there are more important questions than this Jiangbei, he asked carefully: "Then what if the value of the library does not meet the standard?"

"Then if your library value is at least 1024, you can still participate in the lottery." The clerk said politely.

Jiangbei: "."

Jiangbei was depressed.When he was alive, he got a lottery to go to school, buy a car, and buy a house. However, his face was black and he would die every time he was shaken. He had never been shaken once in his life.

There is a saying that once you die, you are done. Who would have thought that after dying, you would still have to shake your number?

Jiang Bei suddenly felt a little depressed.

"Is there a high chance of being in the lottery?"

"It's not very big. But don't worry, it has nothing to do with you." The clerk smiled, "I just found out your living bank value, 899. It seems that you don't have to worry about the number lottery."

"Then what if you can't even shake the number?"

"You will be reintroduced back into the present world, and get the next chance of life." The clerk didn't stop working when he spoke, "I have already handled the rebirth business for you.

The race you have drawn this time is the Spotted Hyena. "

Jiangbei: "."

Jiangbei: (⊿)

"Wait, what are you talking about!?" Jiang Bei couldn't believe it.

"Oh, this is it."

With a wave of the clerk, a picture appeared in front of Jiang Bei's eyes out of thin air.In the picture is a hyena that is alive and kicking, with high shoulders, short and thick brown hair, and irregular dark spots all over the body.

"It's cute, isn't it?" The clerk smiled and adjusted his glasses.

You are so cute!
Jiang Bei resisted the urge to slap him, and an idea immediately popped up in his heart.

impossible.

Even if I, Jiang, jumped from here and went down to the [-]th floor of hell, my soul would be scattered, and I would never accept becoming such a thing!
"impossible!"

A loud roar startled Jiang Bei.According to the reputation, it turned out to be a man doing business at the window next door.That buddy has a thick back with a scar on his waist, and it looks like he was a typical social brother who was not easy to mess with when he was alive.

"Alligator? Turn Laozi into an alligator? How the hell are you the same!?" Brother Society yelled at the clerk behind the window, "Laozi was never afraid of anyone when he was alive, and he will not be afraid when he is dead. If you think you can bluff me like this.”

The clerk smiled and tapped on the keyboard in front of him.The next moment, Scarface disintegrated with a scream of horror.His flesh, tissue, bones, and internal organs seemed to be corroded by strong acid, turned into a stream of data, and dissipated in the air.

It's as if it was directly deleted by some program that controls the laws of heaven and earth.

Jiang Bei, who witnessed this scene, suddenly felt his hair stand on end, and his heartbeat that no longer existed seemed to start racing again.

"Sir?" The voice of the clerk in front of him brought Jiang Bei back to his senses.But at this moment, seeing the professional standard smiles of these guys only made his hairs stand on end.

"Ah yes, it's quite cute, haha." Jiang Bei Congxin.

There is a saying that a good man does not suffer immediate losses, and a good ghost does not suffer immediate losses.To be reasonable, this cannot be called counseling, but tactical detour.

"But it doesn't seem to suit me, can I change it?" Jiang Bei asked.

"Hello, it's impossible." The clerk smiled, "Now, please move to the distribution center in this world and continue to handle follow-up business."

"Accommodating, brother, no matter how you say hyenas are really"

Jiang Bei once thought that maybe he should give this man a pack of cigarettes or something, but soon realized that he was single and had nothing.The only thing that can be sold is the body, and it is still dead, and it is likely to be rejected.

When a person dies, there is nothing left.

"I'm sorry, sir, but the rules are the rules. Now, please move to the distribution center in this world. If you continue to hinder the business process, then I will have to carry out the deletion procedure according to the regulations."

As he spoke, he had tapped on the keyboard a few times.

Jiang Bei thought of the tragic situation of the "deleted" Brother Society just now, and hurriedly raised his hands: "Okay, buddy, I'm just asking, don't be nervous."

These people control life and death and reincarnation, and can erase a soul with just a move of a finger.It is what they say it is.It's a certainty, irreversible.

Jiang Bei felt that even when he was alive, his footsteps had never been as heavy as they are now. Every step seemed to be carrying a heavy weight, and he was struggling towards the destined shore.

A spotted hyena.

Although he also yelled slogans like "Life is worse than a speeding pig, death is worse than a scissor dog" when he was young in the second year of middle school, but it was just a joke after all.Who would really want to be a dog?

Looking back now, I suddenly feel that this life is not worth it.Primary school sacrifices childhood in order to be admitted to a better middle school, and middle school starts early and stays late in order to be admitted to a better university.Worked diligently in the university for a few years and then entered the factory to become a code farmer
Looking back, it seems that this whole life has been lived for the future.He always thinks that the hardship he is suffering now is investing in the future, but suddenly he has no future.

In fact, he still has so many things he wants to do, so many things he wants to eat.There are hundreds of discounted games in the inventory that have never been downloaded, and there are dozens of movies in the list that I want to watch but never have the time to enjoy.
But it's too late to say anything now.

boom.

Jiang Bei staggered and almost fell over.I don't know if it was an illusion, but he felt that the whole space seemed to shake for a while.

Boom.
Second time.This time he was convinced that it was not an illusion, and it came down more violently than just now.Jiang Bei fell to the ground, feeling the whole floor trembling beneath him.The unknown source of light in the huge room seemed to be affected as well, and the whole room flickered.

Why are you fat four?

Jiang Bei turned his head in bewilderment, and found that the entire critical office suddenly seemed to be in chaos.The clerks who were all calm and businesslike before are now crazy, shouting at the top of their voices.

"The 'Sea of ​​Time' has been breached!"

"Impossible! The 'Sea of ​​Time' is a realm where neither spacetime nor life has meaning, and nothing can"

"It's 'Transcendence'!" Someone yelled hysterically, "Call the director! Inform the director quickly"

"It's too late, she's already here"

boom!
All the lights went out, and the critical office shook again.This made Jiang Bei feel like he was in a birdcage being played with by a cat's paws.

So far, the critical impression he has given him is roughly similar to the underworld.So who or what can make the civil servants of the underworld panic like this?Sun Monkey?
There was another shock, and this time a door was forced open.No, there wasn't even a door in this space at all.Those who fall into the critical place are all dead, and the dead should die obediently, so this space has no entrance to return to the present world from the very beginning.

But now, the entrance appeared.It was as if a door had been opened out of nowhere in the void, and then it was blasted open from the outside with unimaginable brute force.

Jiang Bei felt a beam of light coming in, passing through the crowd, as if lightning broke through the dark clouds, and shone straight on him.

In fact, just a second ago, Jiang Bei felt that he had accepted the reality that he was about to become an African hyena.Great grief and depression, and an unprecedented attachment to a life that had once tediously engulfed him in a web of despair.

Now, a second later, an angel appeared.

She directly broke through the door and rushed into hell, and the blurry afterimage rushed in as if riding the light.Jiang Bei felt his arm being grabbed by someone, and his whole body was pulled up from the ground.

For a moment, he suddenly felt that it was a good thing he was dead, otherwise the air in his lungs would be squeezed out right now.

He heard a clerk screaming beside him, and seemed to see someone running towards him.But they obviously couldn't catch up, because the angel pulling Jiangbei was flying too fast, maybe faster than light.

Jiang Bei watched the people around him and the room shrink rapidly in his field of vision until he flew out of the critical point, as if plunged into an ocean.

The salty liquid like sea water poured into his mouth and nose unexpectedly, and Jiang Bei took a big gulp before he could react.He had blinked through the water as fast as light, and shattered a glass curtain wall with a bang.Debris and fragments flew out around him like a rain of flowers, and the refracted seven-color brilliance interweaved into a rainbow curtain.

Then the kaleidoscope came into view, countless mirror images layered and interlaced to form a complex space, tormenting his eyeballs.It is the speed of light passing through again, followed by darkness, like an abyss made up of all the evils in the world, there is no light and no temperature, only eternal fall in endless despair, just like Lucifer's nine days and nine nights falling into heaven
Everything seems to be only between the fingers, and it seems to be as long as eternity.

Finally, Jiang Bei screamed and opened his eyes on the bed in the bedroom of his apartment.

Then I was stunned.

He feels fragrant and soft.

From the girl who was riding on her.

Almond-eyed and peach-cheeked, snow-white like a dream, with blond hair that reaches to the buttocks, is looking at Jiangbei curiously.

She spoke before Jiangbei's brain that was down had time to figure out what the number was.

She covered her stomach, tilted her head and said, "I'm hungry, I want to eat."
