I Hijacked The Timeline

Chapter 40

Mysterious Girl

Feng Qi’s understanding of the future dream world was very limited.

Through the database of the Star City Shelter, he learned that the world had been completely covered by domain fields 1,500 years later.

As for what the world had become after being covered by domain fields, he had no way of knowing.

One thing he could basically be sure of was, there was no living person in this world.

Feeling the bone-chilling coldness coming from his left arm, he could no longer remain calm.

At this moment, a bolt of lightning flashed past, and he saw the exact appearance of the thin figure on his left.

She looked like a human child, about three or four years old. She had a pair of big eyes under her long eyelashes. Her facial features were exquisite, but the grayish-white color in her pupils made her look very lost.

At the same time, he also noticed that there was a shattered rune crystal embedded in the little girl’s left arm.

Domain creature? Rune Transformer?

From her appearance alone, he could not tell if the little girl was a domain creature or a human.

However, he was more inclined to her being a domain creature.

According to the information in the Star City Shelter, human civilization had been destroyed. Moreover, the little girl had no body temperature and her entire body was bone-chillingly cold. She gave him the feeling that she was… a corpse.

[Maybe she’s really a ghost!]

Facing the intimidation by the narrator, he really believed it.

In a domain field, anything was possible.

There were some special domain fields where even the laws of nature completely differed from that of Earth’s.

For example, the gravity in some domain fields was several times that of Earth, while the gravity in some domains was less than one-tenth that of Earth. There were even creatures in the domain fields that only had ideological forms and did not have physical bodies. They were completely immune to any physical damage.

Wang Jinsheng had also talked about the Yin-Yang domain field that had cost many domain combat teams dearly. He had a deep impression of it.

In the Yin-Yang domain field, day and night alternated between four hours. Day was hot, and the night was extremely cold. It was like two extreme hells. Even a strong cultivator would find it difficult to survive for long.

In order to disperse this domain field, mankind had paid a painful price before finally shattering the “spatial core” at its center.

The world in the future dream world had been completely covered by domain fields. Perhaps there were many strange natural laws, so it seemed normal for strange creatures like ghosts to be born.

At this thought, Feng Qi tried to move to the right.

Right then, the little girl followed him and arched her body to the right, sticking tightly to his left arm.

“I’m… scared,” the little girl said in a childish voice.

“I’m even more afraid than you are!” Feng Qi couldn’t help but complain.

Since the vicious hound might still be outside, he did not dare to act rashly. Faced with the little girl’s pestering, he could only maintain as much distance as possible.

However, the little girl clearly did not want to let him off. With every step he took, the little girl would take a step closer.

As time passed, the thunder outside gradually subsided. The dark clouds dissipated, and scarlet light radiated across the ground again. The world regained its color.

After suffering for a long time, he looked down and realized that the little girl had fallen asleep hugging his left arm.

Just as he was about to break free, the little girl suddenly opened her eyes. Her confused gaze looked pitiful.

However, at the thought that the little girl might be a domain creature, he suppressed the pity in his heart and even developed a trace of killing intent.

Clearly, being pestered by the little girl all the time was not an option, so he gritted his teeth and forcefully pulled the little girl away from his left arm. He walked to the window and kicked her away in the position of a football goalkeeper kicking the ball.

Then, he leaned against the window and began to observe the movements of the outside world. He realized that after landing, the little girl jumped up at an extremely fast speed and flew up the wall. Then, she crashed into his arms and hugged him tightly. She attached herself to his chest like a suction cup.

He tried to pull her off a few times and realized that he could not move her with his strength.

“…”

Faced with the little girl who was sticking to him like a plaster, he revealed a helpless expression and asked, “Narrator. What is this thing?”

[I don’t know. She’s so clingy. Why don’t we call her “suction cup”?]

“…”

He had no strength to complain about this name.

Just as he was thinking about how to get rid of the little girl, the corridor outside the door shook. Then, a three-meter-tall hound with a tentacle for its tail appeared in his sight.

Seeing this scene, Feng Qi decisively stepped forward and wanted to jump out of the window, because staying here would only lead to death.

However, at this moment, the tentacle tail of the hound swayed and approached Feng Qi at an extremely fast speed.

He could not react in time. The tentacle wrapped around his body, and he was instantly lifted into the air as he flew towards the vicious hound.

The vicious hound’s head slowly split open, revealing its mouthpart that was covered in thread-like mucus.

Seeing this, Feng Qi struggled with all his might, trying to break free from the shackles of the tentacle.

However, his strength was absolutely defenseless against the thick tentacle. Just as he thought that he was about to be swallowed by the hound, the little girl who was clinging onto his chest like a sloth suddenly opened her eyes. Starlight appeared in her gray and white eyes. Then, she suddenly turned around and punched the hound’s mucus-covered mouthpart.

Boom!

With a loud bang, the air trembled. The hound was instantly smashed to the ground by this terrifying force.

Then, the cracked ground could not withstand the pressure and collapsed. Feng Qi also fell straight down and landed heavily on the ground of the level below.

Amidst the swirling dust, he looked at the little girl standing on the ground with starlight swirling in her eyes. He was dumbfounded.

“This thing is so strong?!”

At this moment, the vicious hound that had been smashed to the ground roared and stood up. After shaking its head, the tentacle on its tail suddenly curled towards Feng Qi.

He, who was always vigilant, decisively jumped out of the window first.

After landing, he did not care what happened behind him. He turned around and ran.

After leaving the dilapidated estate, he continued to run wildly.

Although he did not see the battle between the little girl and the vicious hound, judging from the tremors on the ground, it was obvious that the two sides were already engaged in an intense battle.

Before he could run far, he heard a loud bang. He looked back and saw the dilapidated estate collapse with a bang. Smoke and dust rose into the sky.

“So powerful!”

He did not expect the pitiful-looking little girl to have such terrifying might.

However, the strength the little girl displayed made him even more certain that she was a domain creature.

After all, how could an ordinary human child have such terrifying strength?

When he was at this age, he didn’t know anything except “Aba, Aba”. He even needed his parents to help him with peeing.

Otherwise, his aim would be everywhere.

As for why the little girl protected him, although he was puzzled, he did not think too much about it. He felt that it might just be a coincidence.

However, it would be great if the little girl could really protect him in the future dream. He could completely do whatever he wanted here.

At this moment, the voice of the narrator appeared in his mind.

[Look, here’s your chance.]

As soon as the narrator finished speaking, a thin figure came from afar at an extremely fast speed. She crashed into his arms and firmly attached herself to his chest.

Feng Qi, who was sent flying several meters away by the inertia, felt the back of his head land heavily on the ground.

“F*ck!”
