Chapter 1 This corpse looks just like me
Chapter 1 This corpse looks just like me
"Where...is this?"
Xu Yuan slowly opened his eyes.
The bustling city under the cover of night suddenly burst into his field of vision.
The tall buildings resemble pillars of light.
The streets are like streams of light.
In the distance, a conical iron tower pierced the night sky, its surface seemingly flowing with orange-red lava.
He was standing on a dark rooftop.
The wind howled past my ears.
Amid the whistling wind, the distant roar of trams could be faintly heard.
And the fine, needle-like, cold raindrops.
Xu Yuan shuddered violently, clutching his arms and trembling.
So cold.
He looked down at himself and saw that he was completely naked except for his underwear.
No, I need to find somewhere to take shelter from the rain right away.
Then I'll figure out how to get a set of clothes.
Otherwise, I could treat everyone to a feast tomorrow!
Thinking this, he prepared to hide in the stairwell, but as soon as he turned around, he was startled.
Because there were other people on the rooftop.
In the dim light, Xu Yuan noticed someone lying behind him, seemingly asleep.
But... a cold winter, a rainy night, a rooftop.
Even a homeless person wouldn't sleep here, would they?
And why does this person look so familiar?
He leaned closer to take a look, and then his face showed an expression of utter astonishment.
Holy crap! This guy looks just like me!
No, that's me, fucking!
The other person looked exactly like him, only a little younger.
Moreover, it appears to be dead.
Xu Yuan subconsciously reached out to check his breathing.
The moment his hand touched the other person, a window suddenly popped up.
[Discovered "Corpse of Cosmic Isotope No. 77" - Should it be added to inventory?]
Xu Yuan: "?"
This is... a system?!
A translucent, ice-blue panel appeared.
--------------

--------------
A time traveler?!
I've time-traveled?!
But now is clearly not the time to study the system.
Xu Yuan was almost frozen stiff.
After putting the body into his inventory, he quickly ran towards the emergency exit door.
crunch...
The rusty iron gate emitted a harsh, scraping sound.
The motion-activated lights in the hallway flickered a few times with difficulty before finally emitting a pale white light.
After scanning the area and finding no one and no surveillance cameras, Xu Yuan took the body out.
Then they started quickly tearing off the other person's clothes.
The outside of the clothes was a bit damp, but fortunately, because the rain was sparse, the inside was basically dry.
The isotope probably died not long ago.
Strangely, he had no wounds on his body.
This made Xu Yuan frown.
But he couldn't care less about that now; he quickly took off his clothes and put them back on.
Finally, my body gradually felt warm again.
It seems there's no need to worry about them freezing to death.
After putting the body back in its place, Xu Yuan took some things out of his pocket.
Keys, wallet, cell phone.
Then he took out some documents from his wallet.
The other person was indeed also named Xu Yuan, but his ID number and home address were different from his.
He picked up the other person's phone and checked the time.
2025 12 Month 11 Day.
No wonder it's so cold; it was only October before he transmigrated.
With the time and ID number, the age can be easily determined—20 years old.
Moreover, he is an international student.
Xu Yuan frowned as he looked at the Japanese identification document in his wallet.
So... this is Tokyo?!
Was that the Tokyo Tower I just saw?!
The problem is, he doesn't speak Japanese!
Is it too late to learn now?
How well do you speak Japanese with the idiom "isotope"?
What if someone notices something is wrong as soon as he opens his mouth?
wrong!
What the hell am I thinking?!
My counterpart died here under mysterious circumstances, and I actually want to impersonate him?!
I'm so frozen I'm practically an idiot!
After rubbing his forehead to calm himself down, Xu Yuan summoned the system.
"Open the newbie gift pack."
With a thought, the newbie gift pack in his inventory flashed white light and disappeared.
At the same time, a few new lines of text appeared.

--------------
Two streams of information flooded into Xu Yuan's mind one after the other.
One is Japanese, and the other is fighting techniques.
Punch, block, dodge, counterattack...
A large number of action points were directly instilled in them.
After digesting that knowledge, Xu Yuan rubbed his throbbing temples and took out the props and equipment given to him by the system.
The Energy Awakening Potion is a vial of purple liquid, which is said to taste excellent, but it's unclear whether that's true or not.
As for the "Proverbs of Walnut Wood"...
It is a magnificent and antique flintlock pistol.
The walnut stock has an amber luster, and when you run your fingertips over it, you can feel the silky wood grain.
The gun has an elegant and slender barrel.
The surface is covered with patterns that interweave cold silver and bronze.
It has a complex and beautiful aesthetic.
Under the pale light, Xu Yuan noticed a line of text engraved on the gun: "Cogito, ergo sum".
"I think, therefore I am?"
Suddenly, a new window popped up.

--------------
At the same time, a virtual map appeared.
A red dot is flashing continuously in the Shinjuku area, with the specific address marked next to it.
Xu Yuan: "???"
Annihilation?!
You son of a bitch! Are you some kind of supreme god?!
Despite his anger and being caught off guard, it was clear that Xu Yuan had no way to resist.
He picked up the [Energy Awakening Potion] and drank it.
After all, that flintlock pistol requires energy to operate.
That was his only weapon.
Feeling the unfamiliar energy surging within his body, Xu Yuan quickly ran down the stairs.
By the time he ran out of the building, the rain had intensified.
Fine raindrops wove together into a net, falling on his face with a chilling touch.
The system notifications kept refreshing...
