Giant of Light: I am the Old Ones

Chapter 1 The Giant of Light Stands Standing on the Earth

Yuan Lei traveled through time. When he woke up, his hands were bloody, the sky was dark, and there were corpses all around. It felt like a horror movie.

His time-traveled body was just that of a baby. Not to mention Golden Finger, he didn't even have a few memories of the original host.

When hunger and cold began to erode his body and he was about to reopen, a huge red ball of light fell from the sky and hit the area where Yuan Lei was.

Twelve years later, the small town of Louisiana.

Yuan Lei, or Wulu Torahman Amanda Yuan Lei, was stepping on the beach with bare feet, collecting shells left on the beach after the tide went out.

These shells can be sold to vendors in small towns and distributed to big cities.But the compensation Amanda could get was only a few cents, barely enough to make ends meet.

Children of the same age generally work in factories on the edge of town, and the pay is higher than that of some adults.

However, Amanda, who had experienced the soul-hunting assembly line before time travel, decisively refused the job of tightening screws in the factory and chose to pick up shells more freely.

After all, if you pick up those shells that are stained with black dirt and are stained with the horrible and tiny limbs of unknown creatures, the reward for selling them to the merchants will be higher than a month's salary in the factory.

But since Amanda left the church's welfare home to support herself after she was ten years old, she only heard these rumors from other colleagues, but she had never seen a real black mud shell.

Alas, if winter comes in another month, I will have to go to the factory by then.

Amanda thought to herself, originally thinking that he could make a career with his modern intelligence, but when he was growing up, just learning the local language took a lot of energy from him.

If I had known, I would have learned English well in my previous life.

When it was time to be kicked out of the orphanage, Amanda was going to recommend herself to the factory in the town to promote the so-called standardized parts production and assembly line methods, hoping to have an idle job.

It was said in the primary school text in the previous life that the industrial process of standard replaceable parts was proposed by a brat.

But when he entered the factory, the assembly line was already in full swing. Since the standard component industrial process was implemented in this country a few years ago, it quickly spread to this remote town.

These were not mentioned by the poor little newspaper in the town. Amanda, who had ordinary knowledge of history, only knew that it was 1827, and the assembly line should be after 1908.

Standardization of industrial parts was invented by Eli Whitney in 1798 when he was making rifles.

It seems that the history of this world cannot be treated equally with my own previous memories.

As for her name, Wulu Torahman Amanda Yuan Lei, there is something wrong with it.

Ulutraman is the pronunciation of "Ultraman" in a certain language, Amanda is the name of most orphans in this town, and Yuan Lei is his real name.

As for why there is the name Ulu Torahman, you have to ask the part in your head that has been sleeping all the time. From the time your body was born to the time when you were about to die, then to being picked up by a nun who scavenged, and then to the time you grew up until now, there has been no The red ball of light made a sound.

Based on his subconscious mind, Yuan Lei felt that the thing was the Giant of Light, which was Ultraman.

It is able to unite with humans to save lives when they are about to die, and appears in the form of a ball of light when moving in space.

So when Amanda gave herself a name, she added the pronunciation of Wulu Torahman and her real name.

Otherwise, the number of orphans named Amanda in the town, ranging from children to the elderly, would be quite large and difficult to distinguish.

Therefore, people in the town call him Superman Amanda.

The kindest people call him Yuan Lei, a name that is difficult to pronounce for the locals.

After picking up No. 20 shells and saving enough food for two days, Amanda was ready to go home.

The so-called home is just a small shanty without even a door.

But at least there was a shelter and a wall made of wooden fences, and everyone in the town knew each other well. There had been no serious incidents in many years, and no one was greedy for the money earned by a little kid picking up shells and selling them.

Therefore, after leaving the orphanage, Amanda's life was relatively stable.

However, winter will always come.

Amanda didn't want to think about being shivering in the shack like the first winter, so she had no choice but to go to the factory.

When the time comes to save enough money, you will still have enough money to register when a college in a big city comes to town to select students.

Yes, an institution called a college suddenly appeared in this era, which could even compete with the church.

This college is well-known even in the remote Louisiana town. It is said that various industrial advancement technologies are spread from this college.

Every 12-year-old child has the opportunity to be selected by the academy, enter a clean and warm academy, and learn the most advanced knowledge.

Many parents are preparing for their children, and the orphanage also has several places every year.

However, because Amanda was behind in learning new languages ​​while growing up, she was considered unqualified.

In order to find a way to live a good life in this world, Amanda can only use this opportunity to join the college with the college people who came to the town after the Winter Festival.

When Amanda returned home, she packed up the money she had exchanged for today and opened the unwanted cabinet given to her by the host. It was filled with all kinds of books and newspapers that could be collected.

Amanda, who suffered a loss, spent all the money she earned from collecting shells, except for her household registration, to buy books and newspapers that could be bought in the town.

Just to learn more about the world.

Today he was about to read the last few books, the local anecdotal records, which recorded some stories of strange powers and gods, the most unnutritious, and the academy publicly stated that they were garbage literature.

If these were not the only books left, Amanda might not have chosen to read them.

Turning to the first page, well, there are illustrations of fish that are so ugly that people call them monsters, which are common in seaside towns.

Going back further, one day Jack suddenly went out to sea on a stormy night and his boat capsized and never came back. It is said that he was eaten by a mermaid; or someone's Ruth missed her lover and refused an arranged marriage, so she dressed up in death makeup in broad daylight. The sea killed itself.

They were all stories that were used to scare children all over the world. Amanda was really not interested, so she flipped through a few pages and went straight to the end, where she found an event record that clearly recorded the time.

Well, 1800, 15 years before I was born.

Before the factory on that side of town was built, the last whaling team composed of young men in the town discovered a never-before-seen island in the ocean fog and brought back dozens of stories of local indigenous women.

Amanda became slightly more interested, turned over a new page, and saw a terrifying mark with many tentacles condensed together, which rushed directly into his mind and headed straight for his soul.

"Shia!"

A familiar but slightly different war cry came, and the red ball of light that had not moved for 12 years suddenly exploded.

Suddenly in her consciousness, Amanda only saw a giant with a silver-white body shining with holy light, protecting herself.

His grandma’s golden finger, a gift from time travel, is finally alive!
