Chapter 002: Who Is the Protagonist

That's right, in this world, there wasn't just one black sphere.

Black spheres were scattered all over the world.

Countries like France, Germany, Italy, England, Russia, and so on were filled with black spheres.

And in each country, there wasn't just one black sphere—there were many.

For example, where Wang Bo was now, after being reminded by his cheat, he could confirm through the window that the Tokyo Tower outside meant he was in Tokyo, Japan.

But besides Tokyo, places like Osaka, Kyoto, and Kanagawa also had black spheres; it could be said that black spheres were spread throughout all of Japan.

"This black sphere is amazing," Wang Bo couldn't help but exclaim after hearing this.

[In a sense, the technology contained in the black sphere is indeed impressive.]

[By the way, since you already know what world this is, I won't waste words. There are quite a few穿越者 in this world. I hope you can work hard and send these homeless people back home.]

Wang Bo nodded vigorously and said, "Leave it to me."

For some reason, Wang Bo's intuition warned him that he had to find these穿越者, or else something very unfavorable would happen to him.

So he had to work hard.

"By the way, how many穿越者 are there in this world?" Wang Bo needed a specific number.

[Because of that storm, the number of穿越者 in this world is on the high side. Currently, five have been detected, but I estimate this isn't the final number; it might increase in the coming period.]

Wang Bo nodded firmly upon hearing this and vouched, "Don't worry, I will definitely work hard to find these people."

[That's right, just like that. Work hard. If there's anything you don't understand, feel free to ask me anytime.]

With that, the cheat went silent.

Wang Bo withdrew his gaze from the window, looked around, and found that everyone in the room was staring at him with surprise or even fear.

After all, his talking to himself just now made him look like a madman to outsiders.

But Wang Bo himself wasn't aware of that.

A bespectacled office worker's eyes flickered a few times before he finally mustered the courage to step forward and slowly said, "Um, excuse me, who are you? Are you the owner of this room?"

Wang Bo shook his head and said, "Me? Of course not."

The office worker looked at Wang Bo with some suspicion.

Suddenly, the black sphere shot out several lasers, like 3D printing, gradually materializing two high school students in uniforms from head to toe.

The office worker pushed up his glasses and said tentatively, "Everyone appeared little by little like this, but you suddenly appeared here. The way you appeared is completely different from ours."

Wang Bo suddenly understood—it was because his way of entering the room differed from those around him that he aroused everyone's suspicion.

But he really wasn't the owner of the room; he wasn't even from this world, just an outsider.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...

Just then, the laser printing finished. The two terrified high school students seemed to come to life, gasping for breath, looking around, and collapsing weakly to their knees.

Judging by their bewildered expressions, they seemed completely clueless about what had happened.

Seeing that both were high school students, Wang Bo couldn't help but speculate: could one of them be the protagonist of the story, Kei Kurono?

Hmm, very likely.

Wang Bo carefully observed the two—one with a slicked-back hairstyle, the other with a side part.

In his mind, he kept guessing which one was Kei Kurono.

"Am I... dead?" The slicked-back boy touched his neck; he remembered his body being torn apart by a speeding train, so why was there not a single scar now?

The other boy touched his heart. "Looks like we're saved."

The office worker looked at Wang Bo and asked cautiously, "Can you explain what this place is?"

He seemed to have decided that Wang Bo was connected to this room, and the others also looked at Wang Bo with curiosity and vigilance.

Only the two new high school students looked completely bewildered, not understanding anything.

Wang Bo said, "Don't look at me. I just got here too."

This answer didn't satisfy the office worker, who looked timid, unsure whether to believe it or not.

Suddenly, a burly man sitting in the corner stood up, strode over to Wang Bo, and in terms of height alone, he was even taller than Wang Bo.

"Hey, you, are you looking down on us?" The man stared at Wang Bo with fierce eyes, grabbed Wang Bo by the collar, and seemed to want to lift him up. But after several attempts, Wang Bo remained as steady as a mountain.

To be honest, Wang Bo found it a bit unbelievable too.

When this man, who looked like a thug, rushed at him, Wang Bo was startled.

After all, facing someone tall and burly, with a fierce look and a shady demeanor, did have some intimidation factor.

But when the thug tried to pull him several times and couldn't budge him, Wang Bo couldn't help muttering.

"This strength is too weak."

For a moment, the man's face turned red, especially under the gaze of those around him, making him feel utterly humiliated. He flew into a rage—he, Kiyoshi Yoshioka, was a cadre in the organization, the Dragon of Shibuya who had once single-handedly defeated seven thugs.

"Bastard!"

He raised his fist and punched hard at Wang Bo's face, determined to make him pay for the offense.

Seeing the fist swinging toward him, Wang Bo instinctively tensed up, and then he felt his surroundings suddenly slow down.

The other's fist moved toward him at a snail's pace.

Wang Bo could easily dodge it.

He looked around and noticed that the terrified expressions on everyone's faces hadn't even formed yet—they were still slowly taking shape.

Even everyone's breathing had become prolonged.

No, no, no, it wasn't prolonged—it was that his own mind was racing too fast, making their breathing seem prolonged. In reality, he seemed to have entered some kind of超凡 realm.

He remembered what his cheat had told him: his strength seemed pretty good.

Wang Bo hadn't quite understood what "pretty good" meant at first, but now it seemed that "pretty good" meant he was a bit stronger than ordinary people?

But he wasn't sure exactly how strong he was. Judging from these slow-motion scenes, he should be quite formidable, right? Taking on a few ordinary people shouldn't be a problem.
